Does USB tethering work in this rom? Can't get it to work

On stock I could just plug into laptop and get 3g internet, but not anymore
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fruitgull:
I'm also wondering this.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jacktackle:
after reading all the post's i reached to the conclusion that, the previous ROM is working best for me so i shall not change it to this new one.

sometimes i have problems with wake up but that's not a major issue.

any advises?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] khunjj:
Normally, new ROM will fix many bugs from previous one. You can wait until this Friday for the new 1.9.2 which I hope stockwell can cook it for us without any small issues such as bootloop or governor. :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] entrapmen:
You're right, all settings will be gone. I renamed the misc folder and do the flash. I didnt try to get wifi settings back (not all files) but i think it wont be a problem? Try and see.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Invicta:
Okay i flashed the latest miui last night and my impressions are:

1.flashing completed without a hiccup, it works great it is stable and have almost used every feature without a problem whatsoever.

2.it is as fast as the previous version.

3.battery life looks good with stock kernel

4.(most important) call qualiy improved significant and can hear without noise through phones speaker and BT device (SE VH410)...19 was really bad

5.didnt have any problem with reboots or FC's, did a full format/wipe cache and dalvik

6. restored every app with titanium backup and all is good
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Invicta:
by the way do you know any good calendar icon that displays the actual date and day rather a fixed one like iphone does for example

?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] JaymzBond:
get a widget instead and bind its click to calendar
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Invicta:
what do you mean bind its click?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fruitgull:
Is this change the kernel? I'm wondering if I can use Franco's kernel and still have noiseless BT.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Pierce69:
how we gonna wipe folder /data/misc?

since it keeps resetting itself ?

Edit: alright I downgraded to 18,08 version and wipe miscf folder then Update 28,08.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
Few options:

- Download and learn how to use ADB to delete the folder (easiest way)

- Install the old version and delete the folder before upgrading again

- Wipe data from recovery
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
It's a change in libaudio, so it will be fine. What won't work though is the force internal mic option in x5 settings.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] JaymzBond:
change its onclick action to calendar, most widgets support these things
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Pierce69:
Thanks stockwell ;

And how can we change the lockscreen sunset image ;)

the previous dark grey ""kevlar" image was fine ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] g.mu:
with this load, I can connect to my corp wifi network. thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
So 802.1x authentication does work?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
You can change it in the theme manager, it's the lockscreen option, not lockscreen style.

Edit: OMG double post again!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] :
I have installed this new version of MIUI, in English and also the PT version, and either are working alright. Not like the previous 1.8.19 in PT which was a bag of issues with me.

I have, though, been making some tests and so far I only found 1 issue:

When I receive a call, the call immediately shows up in my screen but the device only start ringing when the caller already heard the calling sound 3 times. Understand what I mean?

Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
802.1x EAP - Network?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
The same issue is happening with my phone also!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] d3xtr0:
it's just me or the 400 and 600mhz option are gone? I'm trying it with misc deleted so far no loop. thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Pierce69:
proximity sensor now works so fine :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] anjo88:
Anyone use pt version? of 1.8.26?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
so this last version is in pt or en??
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] anjo88:
in miui.pt is in pt here is in eng!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
but if for x5? i didnt know it. is good to know
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] :
here is the EN version.

you can find the PT version here

http://www.miui-pt.com/?page_id=47

just scroll down until you find your device (é o penultimo :D)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
OK Ok, very good. so from all the persons that have already try the last rom, is it good to use or not, because i dont understand why for ones is ok and for the others is not, but ok. i was using the english version, not the last version, and was ok but this last one i didnt test yet.

so for now is only the stock kernel correct?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
What is "pt" version?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
So EN version is from Stockwell and "PT" version is from MIUI original?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
pt version is the miui translated in to portuguese
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
I guess both for Stockwell?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ArbiterGR:
Doing the data/misc trick worked like a charm, 1.8.26 flashes successfully without wiping everything :)

It feels much faster less battery draining, but the touch screen sensor lag is killing me when playing games :/
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
f... games ;)))
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dekr94:
best rom at this time of these newest miuis it works perfectly no crashes today at all and i have used since yesterday and have used phone,texts,wifi,bluetooth,gps,market,phonebook,nfs,pes no crashes its awesome thanks stockwell :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
Interesting, no one from MiuiPortgual has actually contacted me about that release.

I was wondering what the deal was with some people talking about the Portuguese version..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Vk_:
I've been using new update for a day now and I think I have found a bug. Two times already in my eight-hour-workday have a person called me demanding, why was my phone off previously, like, for ten minutes, even though phone was on all the time. Is it possible that the phone disconnects from the network during the sleep?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] :
I found the solution:

Firewall > Firewall > Advanced Settings > turn of the Anti-Strange mode

Useless....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
And how was the battery life?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] :
check you firewall settings.

I discovered that this mess with your calls.

there is an option I think wont allow you to receive any calls from numbers that are not stored on your contact list.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fr0stebyte:
It's pj77, just ignore he's flaming the forum
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Vk_:
Hmm.. Could this also be a firewall related issue? Actually, how important for ROMs usage/stability are apps like firewall or monitor? The included mrssenger-app I have deleted already.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] anjo88:
Im using pt version of 1.8.26 and when i restaure from titanium backup pro i stop recieve sms why?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
I won't be supporting the miui-pt rom.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
Portuguese idiots shouldn't mess without your permissions.

I already warned the users at androidpt.com (our portuguese android website) not to use that so called "MIUI-PT" and that they should stick to yours to avoid problems.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] :
its the second time you accuse me of flamming the forum and to be honest I cant understand why?

PT version is portuguese version available for download here:

http://www.miui-pt.com/?page_id=47

In what way I'm flaming the forum?

Everytime I read a comment from you is just crap and how come a person in a perfect mind can say that others are flamming?

I start to believe that are acting as the potential bodyguard to Stockwell without hes knowledge lololololol

what you looking to get in exchange with this man?

jesus man, serious, I give you a friendly and honest advice you should get a life!!!!

Please dont bother to reply to my posts because you are dumb as a piece of wood and I'm looking for intelligent answers such as the ones I'm getting, except yours.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
Peaceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Deloxic:
What you did there it's called flaming.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ArbiterGR:
Please don't feed the trolls. Stockwell (and all the other devs here) is doing an extraordinary job, giving us custom roms without even getting paid, so treat him with more respect and stop porting other people's work without their permission.

Now, back on the topic, i can't wait to try franco's new kernel tonight! Especially if the battery optimizations that users @ oxygen rom report are true. Btw, i noticed something today, since i flashed the new version. While on a call, my antenna switched on and off multiple times, dropping the call, as if the signal plain vanished. It got back eventually but it was strange. That happened twice today :P
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] :
Money is not as important as recognition.

I think I read that the dev of Cyanogenmod went to Samsung..... Recognition....

Recognition = Money

See our work recognized is the best food for our ego, and in the end is what really matters.

Everyone recognize stockwell and is great work!!! Enough said

Ps. Also Francisco Franco work to!!!!!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] :
what I did was reply to his 2nd time accusation of flamming in words understandable by an animal.

1st time I said nothing, e.g., didn't flame, but patience also has limits and my own is very short fuse.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
I don't really mind as there seem to be quite a few Portuguese users around. It's just a shame that it doesn't seem to work correctly for some and that they didn't let me know that they wanted it on the site.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fr0stebyte:
just keep doing what were doing, ignore the trolls.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fr0stebyte:
you're doing fantastic, keep up the good work. cheers
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] anjo88:
I don´t have right to call portuguese idiots just because of this man!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] v1cke:
Thank you for the update, keep up the good work (y)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
Guys in an unfortunately turn of events my U8800 has decided to unexpectedly die. It's been a little flaky recently so I sorta thought this might be coming and it seems it now has :( This is made even worse by the fact I just bought a new digitizer (which hasn't even arrived yet).

I don't have the cash for another one so development of this rom will cease.

Thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fr0stebyte:
hmh how about raising some $ from donations?

I would donate some
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
do u think a round of donations would help to keep this excellent development work to continue?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] :
I dont mind to donate

Tell us how and I can be the first.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] d3xtr0:
I can't help with much but certainly I will :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] anjo88:
don´t u have warantly?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
Thanks for the offers of donation - I really appreciate it.

If you'd like to donate there's the paypal donate button on my profile. There's a second hand one on Ebay AU that hopefully won't go for too much.

I'll do my best to be honest with you guys and keep you updated. If I'm not able to get the phone then I will refund any donations made.

No, my digitizer was smashed a few weeks ago so the warranty is void. I also don't have a way of putting a stock rom back on it (since it won't turn on) and that would void the warranty too.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] anjo88:
I think if u wan´t donation u diserv the donation but u have to start thinking in mutilanguage roms because miui is the only one that don´t have multilanguage!

The madjor users off this forum topic are portuguese so I think we portuguese deserv more suport in our language.

It's just my opinion!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] baratexx:
Stockwell can you make a working version with ext3 file system ??? Like flibblesan made on the FLB r7.

"FLB r7 Changelog

ROM now uses ext3 for /system partition, ext4 for /data. All U8800/H owners should now be able to boot the ROM (some devices cannot boot ext4 system). No loss of performance!"

This is because i have and 1000 Portuguese have a "Black Cheap" X5.

Thanks ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] bazz007:
thank you

Thanks for all your work on this rom, I've just donated to the pot so you can get a phone. If you could post a running total it may spure others to add a few pounds or dollors.

Once again thanks for all your work
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
I also have donated few bucks for the cook scheff :)

Thanks! And keep up the good job!

Brgds,

S.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
I just install this Tom. Ans is quite quick compare to the last one. And the kernel? When can we expect?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Experiences:
x5 settings solved my problems. :)

cool rom.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] d3xtr0:
with that answer you make us portuguese don't diserve nothing. his is developing this rom without ask for nothing. of you want so bad portuguese language available talk with someone on miui pt. they can talk with stockwell and for sure that he wouldn't bother to let them make the translation and help them if needed. we all must be appreciated for his hard work.we mustn't do any demand.

hope you can get your new phone. thanks stockwell
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] blackspawn:
Those who are able, time to show appreciation for stockwell's work ppl! :-)

Don't let U8800's MIUI die ;-)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] flibblesan:
If you won't be continuing development of this, is there any chance you can share your code so others can continue or better still get this an official port on miuiandroid?

Edit: Missed the post about you accepting donations. Will spread the word and hopefully get you up and running again.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
I feel ashamed to read this kind of crap.

Good luck stockwell, I will see if I can help you ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] khunjj:
Donation already done.:) Hope you will continuous cook this sweet MIUI for us.

It's not the right time for our U8800 to die now :(

Cheer,
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] anjo88:
Is not crap my friend is true you don´t look portuguese!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] d3xtr0:
You are right, he doesn't look portuguese because he is thankful for what he have ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
Thanks SO MUCH to all who have donated so far! I've been in contact with the owner of the phone on ebay and he has said that he will take $180 for the phone so if we can get near that figure I will be able to buy it!

I have shared most of what I can on github. I will make an effort to put more up but basically since there's no source for the Miui framework I make patches on CM7 source and then manually build whatever I need.

If this doesn't work out then I'm more than happy to help out anyone who wants to continue on the work I've done. The process I use to make it is a bit convoluted but it works for me.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
That's actually a good price if it's mint or near mint condition!!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] g.mu:
yes, it works. we use 802.1x eap without phase 2 auth.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
Sent a small donation, hopefully it'll help you...:) I'd hate to see you abandoning this project over a couple of bucks...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] haydnlj:
Made a small donation also...

Have no doubt the viewer's of this thread and users of your ROM will return the favour for the generosity of your time Stockwell. Awesome ROM.. Cheers :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Pierce69:
Guys

Stockwell seems he bricked his phone for just to have us a flawless ideos x5 experience.

God knows how many times he flashed his phone while development miui firmware.

We gotta donate and get him new phone! Its now our turn ;)

I m now launching my donation.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] tiagovale2:
I'm simply ashamed to share this Forum and my Country with people like anjo88... That's enough of ungrateful people. Have shame of yourselves!

Stockwell, I'll made an effort to donate you some money in this next month so you can keep up the amazing work!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
More donations are coming in.. thanks again for your contributions!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Leonida5:
donation sent!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
Miui has only ever used the EXT3 filesystem. Last I heard it works fine on the 'black sheep' devices as well.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fr0stebyte:
How much have you gathered so far? Cheers
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
It's in the original post (close enough to $120!)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Vk_:
I don't have a paypal account, but would like to contribute, any way around this?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rikobiff:
Donation sent!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] JaymzBond:
ehhh what are black sheep devices ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] AndytheAndroid:
Just donated $15, hope you're able to resume work soon.

Thank you for everything you've done.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] khunjj:
franco-kernel for MIUI just released. Is it better than current MIUI kernel by stockwell? Anyone has tried, please share how good it is.

BTW, it seems the total amount of donation is still a little bit far from stockwell's target. (~$50). Exciting to see how it is going on. Please help if you can.;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] exbarboss:
hi all, I have some problems with connecting to ad-hoc wifi. It don't want to up a connection. Any workarounds?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
I will try it and will get back with the short results.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ArbiterGR:
Damn, Stockwell i want more than anything to donate to your cause, so you can get a working phone and continue your adventure on the MIUI land, but i'm currently unemployed and i can't afford making a donation right now.

I hope you can manage to get that deal off ebay and keep developing that awesome stuff for us.

ps: Power of the community for the win!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
Deployment went smooth ... for know i tried few calls, few settings ... camera, wifi ... everything seems to work just fine ... we will see what will come later :)

Brgds,

S.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ho Made:
Stockwell, just made a nice donation as of this writing, hope it helps:)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
Thanks to an incredibly generous contribution from Ho Made, we have reached the target (and exceeded it by about $10)! So I will be getting a new phone soon!

The additional funds over the target will be donated to the Leukemia Foundation.

I can't thank those who donated enough for contributing. I hope I don't disappoint for the future releases on this phone.

As a small positive in this situation I've taken apart my old u8800 and will be posting a disassembly guide when I finish the write-up. It's actually pretty easy to take apart, which is a huge relief since the only other phone I've repaired was an iPhone 3gs which was an absolute nightmare even with a guide to help me.

Thanks again everyone!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] tomo88:
Check ebay msgs stocky
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rukadesigns:
good luck to the dealing with tomo88!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] khunjj:
Is it been sold to stockwell? If yes, then it is a good news. It seems the phone will take about at least 5 days for shipping to him, right? How about this Friday new MIUI 1.9.2, can stockwell do something for us?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] tomo88:
yea ive cancelled my auction so im sellin it to him. we're both in AUS but with the timing of the money clearing and the time it takes to ship interstate it'd be hard pressed to get to him by friday
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ArbiterGR:
Great news!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Leonida5:
great stuff tomo! sad to see you leave. What phone are you getting btw?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] tomo88:
hahah yea its a bit of a double edged sword, glad to help out stocky so he can keep up his good work but that means I won't get to enjoy it :(

I'm moving to the blackberry camp. Before all the boo's and hisse's start it was cause they had a special on the contract :P
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
Tomo you are a huge legend! My thanks to you and all the other contributors for your kindness!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] biliskner:
lol. Serious? Our department is trying to get rid of the remaining blackberries in our company!! :P
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] tomo88:
Really? I've always wanted a blackberry but that was a few years ago because of its great email and messaging capabilities but I guess the game has changed over those few years if even organisations are moving away from it as part of their corporate communication mediums.

I have to admit though, a google account + android is amazing. Calendar syncing, the gmail app with how well email is organised, threaded, labelled is great. And now with Google Apps for business; the much reduced price compared to a BES server plus cheaper android phones means greater overall savings for a just as effective software+hardware combination.... kind regretting it now! haha

No worries stocky mate, you deserve all the contributions. To be honest, I would've gotten rid of the android platform and given up and gone to iOS if it weren't for having found the MIUI rom. It really adds a UI that is at least on par with the iOS, it definitely has cues that the Android team could take
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Poulsen8r:
Sorry, RTF thread... you idiot (me).

On an unrelated note, I love the u8800 forum, so much more peaceful than the SGS2 forum. It's a neverending crap fight over there between devs and noobs. Glad you got hold of a new phone stockwell, but you make me want my Huawei back. Oh well Tom at CyanogenMod has it now... Good luck for the future releases.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
(franco 30 Aug kernel + MIUI 1.8.26)

With or without franco's 30AUG kernel update - WIFI still EATS the battery.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] flibblesan:
Wonderful news and thank you so much for donating the additional funds to a well deserved cause!

I've been running your MIUI port for a few days now and I am very impressed. It's by far my favourite U8800 ROM.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Williamwffu:
Really? Wifi doesn't seem to affect my battery whatsoever, 3G however is a different story... I can barely get 12 hours of battery when that's on, but I can get up to 24 hours with wifi on
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] x4nick8r:
People...

Any way to install GenieWidget over an X5 with this MIUI realease...

It's the last thing that i'm missing after upgrade from stock rom (TMN P).

Thkx a Lot.

Keep Up good work :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] JoseRebelo:
I have the miuimum frequency set to 122880 on X5 Settings, but I have no Maximum Frequency Set, it says TextView. What is the default maximum Frequency? I am using 1.8.26 and the latest franco.Kernel.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] :
I dont think this is compatible with X5...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Gefjon:
Mee to! I am so pleased with the MIUI ROM that I happily made a donation to contibute for further development :-)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] hyperdude111:
Default is 806400
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tcm9669:
Thinking about installing this, but not sure I should if it drains the battery so quickly. I go to school and work and then go out.. on somedays and I need the battery to last for the whole time.. can't afford to end up with no phone after a while.. and I constantly need 3G connection for email and other stuff. Plus the camera does not work on all devices.. and I like to use it when I go out.

I'm not sure about this or CM7.. I want a custom ROM! Maybe I should wait a bit more.
