[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] :
With Stockwells MIUI and francokernel I usually get a day and a half worth of usage out of it. And that's heavy usage! I'm always fiddling my phone because I got it recently and because of this fantastic rom and it's user interface.

I keep my display brightness on automatic and disable GPS, Bluetooth etc. services when I don't need 'em. I also recommend you also install some CPU controlling software (or use the X5 settings app provided in the rom). Other helpful tip when conserving battery is to install CPU spy which logs your processors spends in each state and see that it goes in deep sleep when not in use.

---

Now, a bit off topic

Stockwell, glad to hear everything went smoothly with the donations and all, this is an amazing community. Sad to see the people who want a Portuguese translation so badly they're ready to help only if they benefit from it themselves. Just so rude.. I think everyone should just learn proper English, I use my every gadget in English because I want to hone my skills and sometimes the Finnish translations are so bad..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ArbiterGR:
MIUI works beautifully fine! Yes i agree with you on battery consumption, i can barely get 24H worth of juice, but it's stable and fast. What i want to see though, is faster sensors (touch, tilt) with no lag, like oxygen has. Other than that, MIUI rocks, it almost feels like MIUI was build for our x5 :D

ps: Try Franco's new kernel. It sure helps with the battery management.:D

:Edit: Question about @jrantaka's post: How can i disable cpu overclock in x5 settings, in order to use setcpu ? Or it doesn't matter if i leave it @ default settings? Since you mention 1.5day of battery juice, i think i might need to do a battery recalibration....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ArbiterGR:
Trying setcpu out, but profiles are not working (ie in a call, screen off etc)

Is that a kernel's fault or a problem with the app ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] :
Good question, they aren't depended on each other. In other words if you change your CPU values for example in setcpu it changes the values in the X5 settings app also. Good way to preserve juice is to run your phone with a proper governor and speeds. I usually use 800-1000 Max and 200-300 min to prevent lag. It gives me enough power to run any app I like without lag. For governors I usually use smartass but haven't tested Franco's new smartassV2 thoroughly yet to say anything about it. The good thing about these governors are they usually cap your maximum frequency if the screen is off. Hope I could help!

Edit:

The profiles don't work well with some governors, I think smartass is one of those governors.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ArbiterGR:
Thanks a lot for the info, as soon as i switched to ondemand, profiles kicked in :)

Using a screen-off profile with ~245 - ~768Mhz and another one during calls ~245 - ~384Mhz. Who needs overclock during a conversation anyway :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] JoseRebelo:
I don't know if this is related to the rom/franco.Kernel, but i was charging my phone while it was turned off, and it got stuck in that battery charging image when i took the usb cable out, had to take the battery out to reboot.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] d3xtr0:
if you use smart ass 2 it should do those profiles alone. and I think it's better to use other program like no frills cpu. but it just me. how much time your battery take to be empty?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] d3xtr0:
delete the folder misc in data directory
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
why no frills is better?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] :
Stockwell, can youplease add the portuguese language to your magnific rom?

If you need help just let me know.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
Could someone explain a bit of Governors in X5 settings?

What all these names means? (brazilianwax, SavagedZen, interactiveX ... and so on)

Which setting is best for advanced user?

Thanks!

I have sms receiving problem with latest release. Basically my phone dont receive the smses.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Deloxic:
Hi

I got a simple question.

How do I put vibration when I'm typing a message ?

I tried to turn on "Vibrate on keypress" but it doesn't do anything.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] blackspawn:
This last rom has been ok for me (the screen flickr is gone) and the camera feels a bit more responsive and doesn't stall anymore between shots.

Yesterday I noticed that it reboot twice out of the blue though. It wasn't doing anything really (no 3G, no wifi) it just rebooted,, but it hasn't happened since so no biggy!

Sensors also seem a little more responsive (I still thing the proximity sensor takes to long but maybe that's a phone issue, I don't know).

Anyway congrats on your new phone stockwell! And congrats to xda community for stepping up to the challenge! :-)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ArbiterGR:
I will try smartassv2 again with no frills cpu and i'll report back.

I get about 20hours of battery at a charge. I will try wiping battery stats tomorrow to check if it solves my issue. Apart from the underclocking, i use tasker to shutdown the antenna and wireless at night as well.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Pierce69:
Well I m using the same method with setcpu program. But I m using 614 mhz max screen off. 1017 mhz screen on. 1200 mhz charging.

However I didnt think screen is turning off while talking. :/

Since device uses its cpu more agressive while talking; I guess u gotta set cpu a little at high frequency while on call to make a clear communication.

As a matter of fact I couldn't find any option on setcpu program like an "on call" profile :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] haydnlj:
Seems like the "Vibrate on Keypress" doesn't work for either Swype or Stock Android Input methods. Haptic feedback is otherwise working, and seems to work with every other Input Method I have tried (8pen, T-Swipe, Swiftkey, SlideIT).

While we are on keyboards, has anybody been successful at themeing Swype beta - tried Metamorph and another involved process that required re-signing, zip-aligning etc - both ended up with FC issues?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] biliskner:
Yep, iPhones all round as company policy. I'm one of the few with Android but we stand out with our awesome ROMs! Tried to get the SDM to change to Android or at least have a choice, but he's too dumb to know the difference between iOS and Android/Blackberry.

Don't you love IT SDMs who are not IT? Stay in a company long enough and get promoted anywhere you want, lol... actually it's more like sigh...!

Hope the BB serves you well - then come back to teh Droid :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tcm9669:
Would resorting the cpu back to the original 806mhz help much on battery consumption?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gurung_vishwas1:
I have observed one issue with latest build: After starting the phone call for few seconds, "Force Close" message appeared. After that unable to dial any phone number, always getting "Force Close". I had to re-start phone to call again.

Anyone else observed the same problem ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ArbiterGR:
Hmm, i didn't think about that, you're right. I will up the max frequency a bit.

Make sure you update setcpu on the latest 2.2.4 version via market. Mine has an "In call" profile :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
When i put CPU Governor on "SCARY" whole telephone is laggy and it runs on slow motion. When i put back on "smartassV2" it runs like a hell!

Anyone has the same experience?

MIUI 1.8.26 + 31. AUG francos kernel
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ArbiterGR:
Scary is supposed to be a battery saver governor, according to Franco. It's not for performance, not even to a good performance/battery balance. Smartass2 should be best for normal use, especially after today's kernel update. I use scary governor on setcpu profile screen-off and it works good :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] darkn1ck:
please bring back the cpu settings from 1.8.19.Cpu at 1.8.19 was working great with good battery consuption
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pekkidboy:
First of all, thank you Stockwell and all the contributors for this awesome rom. Also got me very happy to read about the donations made. But anyway got a weird problem here as well.

I Did a full wiped update from 1.8.19 to 1.8.26 and lost my miui compass for some reason. Tested some other compasses from the market but they just say to calibrate sensors which doesn't solve the problem. GPS and navigation seems to be normal. Help much appreciated.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fruitgull:
Stockwell, thanks one more time for your commitment :) And I'm glad to hear you soon will get a new phone.

Does the volumefactor.txt file govern voice volume for both the internal and BT mic?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] papeles:
Any1 getting wifi problems? I'm using this rom with fracokernel (from 29 august) and it shuts down like, every minute.

I tried reinstalling the rom cleaning everything, cleaning all user data and cache and tried previous kernels. Also, got the option to "never sleep" (something like this) in the wifi definitions but it keeps going down.

Apart from that, freaking awesome rom. Rly good to the eyes!!!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] flibblesan:
Yes, same issue for me. It doesn't matter which kernel I am using since the wifi libs are on the system. I'm going to test out some different libs to see if that resolves the issue for me.

Update: Using the wifi libs from B137 at the moment. They always worked for me on my own ROM so hopefully they will work fine on MIUI. If I still get the disconnections then the problem will be elsewhere.. possible with wpa_supplicant.

Update 2: wifi still drops and reconnects so it's not a problem with the wifi libs.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] xann89:
Yup, I can confirm about the problem as well. I thought it was the B160 wifi driver causing the problem, because the previous .19 and older versions of MIUI worked fine for me, never dropped once.

Anyway stockwell, congratz on your new phone! :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] anikilor:
i want to try this rom now i have oxygen and works 5 stars but i want trie that, my question is, do you reconded install the portuguese version or the original without translation?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] flibblesan:
Thought it would be wpa_supplicant but I've just replaced it with an older file and the problem remains.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
The kernel does matter. The wifi drivers piggyback off the SDCC driver and there's code in there(written by dzo) to force it to suspend when it detects that it's preventing the device from sleeping. It might not play nice with the cpu frequency changes.

The other thing that could be the cause is libhardware_legacy so you can try using the one from oxygen (I think it should work, I can't remember how different they are)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] flibblesan:
Thanks stockwell. I've tested the boot.img from the previous version but wifi still drops and reconnects. Since I've tried replacing the kernel, wifi libs and wpa_supplicant the only thing left is your suggestion of libhardware_legacy. I'll give it a shot.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] franciscofranco:
I don't have that wifi problem with oxygen and I always have the patches from dzo in my kernel so my guess would be the libhardware_legacy as well.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
I think as long as kernel is 2.6.32.9 this bug will occurring. THis is known problem (802.1x EAP - Phase2 auth. doesn't save setting and cannot connect to hidden 802.1x network) but as it seems nobody knows how to fix this bug :(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] tomo88:
wrong thread sorry
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
btw: i had setting "SmartAssV2" with "200min and 1024max" with NO wifi, gps, data and the battery goes from 85% to 45% over the night :(

MIUI 1.8.26 + latest franco's kernel
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] papeles:
So... it seems you guys managed to identify the wifi problem. So i just know it's a matter of time for it to get fixed :D (cuz i dont understand sht about this)

cheers!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fruitgull:
What link speeds do you guys get for wifi? I get 24-54 mbit on my computer, but only 1-6 mbit on my phone, from the same router.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] d3xtr0:
15mb : D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] anjo88:
Can u put both memory internal and external at the same time working?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] flibblesan:
I replaced libhardware_legacy and wiped data/cache. Wifi still drops.

Uploaded logs from the moment the wifi disconnected incase it shows anything useful: http://pastebin.com/uWiFfDh9
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ArbiterGR:
I don't get any wifi drops, using my Netgear dgn3500 as a router. Allthough rarely, wifi connection will get stuck (it still show as on/full reception) and i have to turn it off and on again.

On another note, did anyone else noticed that antispam.apk found in miui, cause battery drain, even with firewall settings switched off? I disabled it in Titanium backup and my battery consumption feels better.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] papeles:
its definitly NOT about the router. Tried 3 different home routers and on shopping centers and still get the drops.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] flibblesan:
Updating on the wifi issue.. libhardware_legacy.so is the same lib in the previous MIUI version which doesn't have wifi drops for me (version 200811).

I have done a quick compare between MIUI 200811 and 270811 to see what has changed, ignoring frameworks and apps:

/system/bin/debuggerd
/system/bin/rild
/system/bin/wpa_cli
/system/bin/wpa_supplicant
/system/lib/libaudio.so
/system/lib/libc.so
/system/lib/libc_malloc_debug_leak.so
/system/lib/libc_malloc_debug_qemu.so
/system/lib/libril.so
/system/lib/libsensorservice.so
/system/lib/libsurfaceflinger_client.so
/system/lib/modules/libra.ko
/system/lib/modules/libra_ftm.ko
/system/lib/modules/librasdioif.ko

and kernel obviously. I did try the 200811 boot.img with the newer ROM but that didn't make any difference to me.

Using another kernel didn't matter.. same issue with francokernel. Oddly the wifi works perfectly fine on the latest Oxygen ROM.

Meh.. might just be a bug in MIUI 1.8.26
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] anjo88:
Anyone knows how to make this roms working with 2 memors at the same time? I don´t want do choose betwaen internal e external I want use both is possible?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] :
I don't think that is possible.

And with this new version of MIUI you get to choose which storage to use. Previous ones you could only use External.

Actually I think no rom allow you to use internal and external storages at same time. From the moment you insert a MicroSD the internal become unavailable.

Please correct me if I'm worng.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] flibblesan:
Stock ROMs detect the insertion of a microSD card and mount the internal to /HWUserData. This happens on MIUI also but no way to access the folder using the built-in file manager.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] anjo88:
In oxygen and cm7 we can use both memories at the same time!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gurung_vishwas1:
On mounting SD card, the phone stop freezed. Happened twice. I had to remove battery and boot again. But, on third time, I was able to access SD card from PC.

Anyone else observed the same issue with latest build ?

I have a weird bug watching videos but I'm not sure whether it is MIUI or fkernel. Either ore, I tried to watch a video on Weebl's Stuff and CatFace was black! Youtube videos work fine, for some reason..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Gefjon:
For some reason, my wifi is all stable. No dropout whatsoever. Using latest MIUI rom, latest kernel and zram
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] JoseRebelo:
x2

All the problems i had were because of the router, wifi is working at 100% now.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] flibblesan:
It's strange.. older MIUI roms function fine and Oxygen works fine. Latest MIUI drops wifi so much even if I replace wpa_cli wpa_supplicant wifi libs and kernel.. how can that be possible :confused:

Previous version works fine.

Cannot see it being my router since wifi functions fine on all other ROMs.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] papeles:
It can't be the router because alot of people, all around the globe, are getting wifi drops
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] JoseRebelo:
But I had wifi problems with all roms, and they were because of the router. It worked fine with my computers, but the phone refused to connect. Now wifi is 100% stable, connects very fast and no drops, with MIUI 1.8.26 + franco.Kernel [31 AUG].

Maybe I am just lucky :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
Have you tried deleting the wifi folder in /data/misc?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] JaymzBond:
are you sure about it? bcus im using oxygen too and i cant seem to use my internal memory card
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] haydnlj:
Noticed the same as flibblesan, and dropped back to 1.8.19 to restore flawless wifi. I did delete /data/misc wifi folder in 1.8.26, but it didn't help. One thing I noticed in 1.8.26 was that it almost never connected to networks with hidden SSID's - requiring a forced connect in settings.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ericmaxman:
everything works fine..except haptic feedback in Opera n while using the Android k/board

settings are correct
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Deloxic:
Hmm I'm using this ROM for the past 3 days since I got my X5.

Everything in general seems to be ok.

I only got like some WiFi disconnections while downloading some Gameloft games, and the Mount SD option sometimes freezes my phone.

The battery is ok I'm using FKernel and it did last the whole night while playing Asphalt 5.

I started playing at 1 AM and ended up looking at the watch and it was 5:47 if I can remember and I still had 38% battery left.

So yeah after the WiFi thing gets "solved" everything will be fine.

Edit: Does anyone know if MIUI has a screenshot feature like Oxygen ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] antonio.silva12:
Same here. I'm using [31Aug]Franco.Kernel + MIUI 1.8.26 and all is working fine, including the WIFI.

This visual of this ROM is outstanding and the performance is good.

The only negative point that i found in this ROM it's the battery consumption. From my experience, I think this ROM "consumes" more energy than the others available for Huawei X5, including the Stock ROM.

Anyway, the battery lifespan is acceptable.

Best Regards to all.

Can anyone please link me the latest official build or send me a pm with it? I need to try it out.

Yea I need to try it over the weekend.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Druida69:
I also use MIUI 1.8.26 PT flashed over the original one without the wipes.

I have been reading this post and I see that there are some people with issues receiving SMS's. I think this problem lies in the Hisuite daemon that is installed.

When you connect your device to the PC and turn on the Hisuite this installs a daemon in your device to able to communicate with it.

Well in the original version of the MIUI each time you receive a SMS you get a hisuite pop-up asking if you give permission to this app manage your received SMS‘s. Obviously you have to choose no!

In the PT version you don’t even see this Pop-Up so I assume here lies the problem for this issue.

Because I cancel the option showed in this pop-up when I now go to the Superuser>Registry (mine is in PT so I don’t know if this are the correct words for it) I have a list of all the received messages with this information:

HiSuite – Prohibition SMS Permissions

So I’m receiving the SMS’s without problems in PT version of MIUI.

Please correct me if I’m wrong!

About battery life. Can one theme drain battery more than another?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
Just tested that now and it buzzing terribly, you can't even distinguish the other person from buzzing sometimes...Stockwell please look into this, as this ROM is absolutely beautiful otherwise.

"mesnati " is hepatic feedback working for you?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
No it does not!

Thanks for confirming that buzzing sound is still there ...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
That's really strange, it's fine on my phone. I'll check to make sure I've uploaded the right file.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
Hope you are right :) I do hope that you uploaded wrong file :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
Thanks for the quick reply and for checking this out. :)

On an unrelated matter, can you use the camera files for CM7 development? :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] human_yan:
It works well on my U. Looking forward to the bugfree version :P
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] human_yan:
Yes, it is buzzing when phone volumn is high...:(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] paul94512:

Thanks Paul ... we all does :(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fruitgull:
So hos many like this more than cm?

Btw, thank you stockwell for this!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
Ah great.. seems like the buzzing isn't fixed. Very strange though, I tested it for quite a while today without any issues and now it's back.

It's very quiet on my phone though, not noticeable at all on a normal call. Sorry everyone for false hope about it :(

Edit: I would speculate that the buzzing will be more noticeable when in a poor reception area. This may be why I didn't really notice it during testing.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
NP for me tough just keep up the nice work there!

I am looking forward to see new updated ROM's!

Thanks!

Brgds,

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] human_yan:
I found a strange thing but not sure it was about the buzzing. On the phone call, when my fingers touching the phone or moving around the phone I can hear the frictional sounds, and it thus LOUD...

Hope you can understand what I mean :P
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
I understand what you mean, this is from the rear mic. This shouldn't happen, I must have screwed up the audio libs. I'll try and get some time to look at this tomorrow.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] human_yan:
Really high appreciate and thanks for your great effort! You ROCK!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] paul94512:
It maybe depends on the area. Therefore, I've tried some different area like my home, my school and the canteen. It's the same. Still have any buzzing when on call.

BTW, thanks for making a great rom for us. It's good for us to play the custom rom, forgiving my bad English. I come from HK.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] burakerenn:
Well not sure if that was happening in the previous version but I am not able to see regional characters (like ı, ş, ğ, ü ...) in incoming sms. At first I thought it is font related however I am able to see the characters in e-mails.

What can cause something like that? :S

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
Yes it can, for example a live wallpaper drains much more battery than a static wallpaper...So it depends what that theme has active.
