The SmartLucky ROM does feel a bit hacky and comes with too many unnecessary apps preinstalled in my opintion.

Do you have any recommendations for App management with this ROM? I use Link2SD, can I assume this won't be a problem on the compiled kernel?

That's pretty darn fast! I had been thinking of trying something like this myself, I just hadn't got round to it yet, work is very busy this week, but we've only had the phone a couple of weeks anyway.

Thanks!

WOAHO!!! Installed cyanogen on the huawei gaga u8180!

THANKS VERY MUCH subpsyke AND bradstewart!!! You're the best guys!!!

So, here is what I exactly did:

1 . Disconnected the phone, installed PdaNet for the drivers

2 . Downloaded SuperOneClick, connected the phone, Setting > Apps > Developpers > Enabled usb debugging and rooted it.

3 . Got fastboot.exe AND AdbWinApi.dll from the Android SDK zip, got recover.img from megaupload.com/?d=IK2UYQF9 , put them all in a directory called fastboot and placed it in C:/ (wich makes C:/fastboot) runned CMD and typed:

cd C:/fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot

4 . Once recovery installed, picked adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll from SuperOneClick zip file and put them in a folder called adb and put it on C:/ (wich makes C:/adb/). Opened CMD and typed:

cd C:/adb
adb shell reboot recovery

5 . Now, in recovery mode, I backed up the system then rebooted the phone, took the backup directory from the SD card and put it in a safe place.

6 . Placed the "update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-u8160-v0.1-signed" zip file (downloaded from the first post on this thread) on the SD card

7 . Another time, runned CMD and typed

cd C:/adb
adb shell reboot recovery

then installed the ROM

8 . Cyanogen screen is here!

I don't know if I'll have other issues because I think it took 5 minutes until now and still booting... I'll give you updates.

EDIT: I had to wipe my data (something that I forgot) and also installed google apps for the android market

NOW MY PHONE IS BLAZING FAST AND RESPONSIVE, EVERYTHING RUNS SMOOTHLY AND I ALSO GOT THE ARABIC SUPPORT YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING I LOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE YOUUUUUU!!!!!!

U8180

UPDATE: thanks bradstewart !! U8180 booting cyanogen mod 7 :D :D use recover.img from megaupload.com/?d=IK2UYQF9

@ wassgha and subpsyke

sorry for my bad english

rooting and clockwork recovery (android.modaco.com/topic/341329-recovery-clockworkmod-recovery-for-vodafone-smarthuawei-u8160/) works fine.

but i get errors at "update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-u8160-v0.1-signed" zip file

screen output:

Finding update package...

opening update package...

Installing update...

assert failed: getprop/"ro.products.device" == "u8160"

...... etc. etc. ........

Installation aborted.

toggle signature verification and scripts make no difference for me. my noob "hacking" :) build.prop not working
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Kannibalism:
had to try this on the vodafone smart tested all the functions so far and had no problems at all very good work mate the rom runs smooth and all.

The only thing that is bugging me is that the google apps package does not install gmail, youtube, maps etc maybe i am doing it wrong it just only install the market

the steps i did was

a) create recovery (worked fine)

b) wipe data / cache and install rom (worked fine)

c) same as rom select zip from sd card chose the package for google apps that is compatible with cm7 and installed

i then booted the phone and connected my phone had to choose the packages but it will not install gmail, maps etc it says there not in market any ideas how to fix this problem mate
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bradstewart:
Try flashing the RA recovery instead of the Clockwork one.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wassgha:
I resolved this by installing Market Enabler from then market and then fakin a USA market. That will show the google maps, gmail and youtube apps on the market when you search for them

hii guys ..

i want to know what is the diffrent between stock kernel and costume kernel and wich one is better

thanks
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Nightmare:
Custom has other features enabled (over and under clocked, different file format supports etc) and most are fairly smoother than stock.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] dkb218:
From the increase in wait times to the total idiots taking calls, T-Mobile is now the worse carrier in the USA.

Checked by bill on-line today. Notice that its not due on the 27 of the month. For the 10 plus years I've been with T, its been the 3rd. Lets call and see what this is about.

First person I speak to must still be developing in the womb cause she could only transfer me to idiot number 2 who goes on to tell me my due date has always been the 27!

-What?

Sir, you due date has always been the 27.

-What? Are you sure?

Puts me on hold.

Sir? Yes, it's always been the 27.

-So, all these bills I have here in front of me saying my due date is the 3rd are figments of my imagination?

Sir, your bills do not say the 3rd as a due date. They say the 27.

-What? Wait. Is this AT&T customer service?

No sir, this is T-Mobile.

-No its not. T-Mobile SC has a clue what they are talking about. This is AT&T, right?

No sir, its T-Mobile.

-Transfer me to retentions please.

Sir are you cancelling your...

-Transfer me to rententions.

after a 15 minute wait... Guess the fool thought I would hang up...

Can you tell me why my due dates was changed?

After a 20 minute back and forth she came up with this.

EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 1, T-MOBILE IN ORDER TO BE MORE IN LINE WITH ITS COMPETITORS, HAS SHORTENED ALL DUES DATES BY 4 DAYS.

This 4 days is really a week. My bill was due on the 3rd. Its now due on the 27th = 7 days. [4 business days.]
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:
Hahahaha...

Is this at&t?

No sir it's T-Mobile.

These guys has an encyclopedia size book of lies and alibis.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] tokimaromi:
my due dates have not seemed to change.... yet but really it wouldn't make a difference to me. i have easy pay and it just does it for me
[T-Mobile LG G2x] PoisonWolf:
Becareful with any sort of automatic payments...especially when it comes to cellphone companies. =)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hoopduke:
I am on "EasyPay" and recently was sent an email notifying me that they would draw from my account 3 days earlier than usual. The funny thing is, the due date stays the same. They are just paying my bill for me 3 days earlier. Thanks!

In business, you collect your A/R's quickly and pay your A/P's slowly. Either they are having a cash crunch at TMO, or they are prettying up their books for someone (making their cash flow look better than it is).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tokimaromi:
i watch them every single month! i'm on my tmobile constantly haha. i missed paying my bill one month and that wasn't fun so easypay is a convenient alternative

---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 PM ----------

oh right, i remember this text now! but just like you stated, my due dates didn't change at all and i don't think it's paying it any earlier for me though but still it wouldn't be an issue for me
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shamwow:

[Acer Iconia A500] ZeroAlphawolf:
I was wondering if any of the developers here have been following the Windows 8 stuff? I just read and article that they are going to release the first build of it this week at the big Microsoft thingy thats going on. They are releasing the build to developers, AND to the public!

Now, since Win 8 will be ARM supported, I'm wondering if were going to be able to put it on our A500's. I had originally wanted to buy a W500, but when your buying off craigslist you get what you find, and i love my A500 plenty fine, but i've always liked playing with the new Windows versions coming out, and the OS is pretty much designed for touch and tablet.

I know i'll be keeping my eyes open one way or another and hitting download as soon as i see they open a beta build up for us.
[Acer Iconia A500] netham45:
I don't think our A500's will be supported by MS, but since there aren't any quad-core tablets out there yet (production-wise, that I know of), MS will probably be using the tegra 2, which means it should be at least compatible.

So, it should hopefully run, but I think it's going to require a bit of hacking.
[Acer Iconia A500] kd75:
I really doubt that it will run on our a500's for one reason, hard drive space! Look up windows 8 demo on you tube and you will see that it is very similar to windows 7, just with a tablet friendly ui. You can still access good old windows with the touch of a button. I do have to admit that its looks pretty slick.
[Acer Iconia A500] ZeroAlphawolf:
If you read into things, windows 8 is supposed to be -very- small operating wise, it's designed to gear towards tablet interfaces, it is able to run off of a flash drive.
[Acer Iconia A500] masands:
I think our Acer Iconia will be one of the better suitors of Windows 8 thanks to its USB port. I would love to have Windows 8 ported on my Acer, especially if they are giving the build to the public.
[Acer Iconia A500] netham45:
Windows 7 only takes like 10GB fresh, with a good compression, or just a 32GB SD card for more space, it'd run just fine. Space isn't an issue.
[Acer Iconia A500] ZeroAlphawolf:
They are, the BUILD conference is at 9am today, and they are supposed to release it to public and developers at it today.
[Acer Iconia A500] ctiger:
I'll still love to see it runs on a quad core thing, with the ability to turn down part of the processor or dramatically turn down the clock when running on battery to save power.

I used this A500 long enough to realize that Android is just a toy. To be serious, it has a long way to go. It is so convenient to use for before nap browsing, that I don't turn on my laptop at night after all, but if you tell me I only have this for the week, I'll just say no. Better to bring both with me. Windows 7 is essential for me.
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
From a day-to-day use stand point, this just isn't true. However, if you need a power house, then I agree with you. But getting this tablet was one of the reasons for getting rid of my netbook. Outside of heavy gaming, which I don't do anyways, I do not see anything I can do on the netbook that I couldn't do on the tablet for everyday functions (except print, but I almost never do that either lol)
[Acer Iconia A500] ZeroAlphawolf:
I got rid of my laptop (Was going out anyway) And got the a500 instead of another laptop. So far im pleased, i wished Skype would get working, i'd use it a lot more. I have a pretty nice powerhouse for a desktop so for anything that i need to do with some real power, gaming and such, i can sit at it for without a problem.

Id love to get a microsoft arc keyboard or something, small enough to use on my iconia, cause right now, since i have a laptop stand still, i use a old apple keyboard via the USB, its easier for typing more after all.

I'd like to see windows 8 on it, simply to see what i could do with it, i like toying with it, my A500 is my toy, rather than a significant use item, i can do what i need on it, so it serves its purpose, but it was still more a toy then anything else when i got it.
[Acer Iconia A500] tkolev:
The one thing missing for me is the ability to develop android applications on the iconia. It's funny that you need another OS to code for Android.
[Acer Iconia A500] ZeroAlphawolf:
Well unfortunately the builds thate came out were only on desktop uses, not for the ARM processor, guess was cross our fingers and wait.
[Acer Iconia A500] masands:
Just like WP7 is limited to certain chipsets, I believe the ARM version might only be limited to Tegra 3 and some other faster processors.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
I read somewhere from ms that win8 arm will run on many chips.as well as tegra. But not sure where this article went.I do know it was direct from Microsoft.

Here is the link to information

;)
[Acer Iconia A500] fermunky:
Regardless of OS, if your day-to-day function is coding/dev work, I would imagine you wouldn't be doing it from a tablet anyways :) Thats like a mechanic trying to run a full garage with a 25 piece "mechanics" tool set from Walmart lol. I am a project manager and I couldn't imagine not having a full laptop to do what I need it to do. I do also have a PC at home, hooked to my TV. But if I was not running an IIS server or if I didn't do web design work, I would probably not have anything else at home but a tablet.
[Acer Iconia A500] tkolev:
Well that's the only thing I'm still doing on my laptop since I got the tablet. Would be nice if I had the chance of doing it with the tablet too and not bring both when going on trips.
[Acer Iconia A500] stefan2305:
That's not our tablet. That's the Acer Iconia Tab W500 not the A500. The A500 runs NVIDIA Tegra 2.

In any case, i'm still really hopeful for getting Win 8 onto the A500. With the ARM support, there has to be a way that this can be done eventually. I was actually starting to think that I might have to sell my Iconia and get a new tablet in March when its released. But now only time will tell. But just the possibility of running Windows here is awesome. =D
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
No schiznit really?!

Here I thought my tablet had an Atom processor in it! :rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A500] ZeroAlphawolf:
Well here is a small update. It does not help us Iconia A500 people, but it does help people with other tablets! And puts out hope that if Microsoft delivers a preview for the ARM version of the OS we may be able to test it out some.

Here is the link to the article showing how to install the developer preview of Win 8 on a Win 7 running tablet.

[EVO 4G General] iliv4u4ever:
I am facing problems with hotspot and 4G. When ever I turn on hotspot, 4G goes into scanning mode and never connects where as I have full signal in $G without hotspot. Am I the only one facing this issue or any one else is having problem with this. Hotspot works fine with 3G
[EVO 4G General] Jazzek:
The sprint hotspot app will not work with 4g unless you pay for the service. We're lucky a dev cracked it so 3g even works. But since you're rooted (obviously) you can use other apps to tether wirelessly while connected to 4g. I still prefer usb tethering but you have options.

[HD2 Accessories] pdinphx:
To all,

I recently migrated back to Verizon after a brief stint with T-Mobile. Consequently, I gave up my beloved HD2 (US) for a Droid X2.

I have a virtually brand new Piel Frama iMagnum leather case, in black, that is just sitting on my bureau and collecting dust. In the original box with all the original contents and goodies.

I know we don't normally sell things here, but I hate to see this case go to waste. $25+actual shipping cost to the first "It's mine!" post. Paypal only.

Email me for pics ( pdinphx at cox dot net ); I buy/sell on eBay under pdinphx (100% positive feedback), so buy with confidence.

Pj
[HD2 Accessories] RobE.:
I'll take it... provided that it's the PF490 iMagnum case, specific to the USA T-Mobile HD2 and NOT the int'l version. PM me an acknowledgement of this and I'll send you my zip/address so you give me the full cost+shipping. Will be happy to Paypal you. (...and Yes, I can read, I just need to be certain). :)

Thanks,

Rob

Im trying to do some XML edits on framework-res.apk from eclipse rom using apk-manager. Im new to using this method to modify xml's, once i get everything done when i go to recompile i keep getting an error. I heard that you can't recompile system apk's from roms is that true? Also once i recompile using apk-manager do i have to sign it? or just rename it and place it back into theme folder?

OR

how do you guys decompile and recompile framework-res.apk when making themes?

Whats the best/easiest way?
[Motorola Droid X2] TheMuffStuff:
Try using a stock blur framework to make xml edits, it should compile correctly, then just swap xml's. Most of them nitro didnt change. If its in styles.xml though, it willnot work, since they dont show up in the folder. If your still getting compile errors after editing a stock blur framework, then your editing something wrong
[Motorola Droid X2] nitroglycerine33:
All of my apks decompile and recompile.
[Motorola Droid X2] xkape:
Your issue is most likely a dependency issue.

in your apk manager folder there is a "other" folder. Stick framework-res.apk, moto-res.apk, blur-res.apk, systemui.apk and settings.apk in it. open up your regular command promt from windows.. cd (change directories) to apk_manager_5.0.1/other..

type in (hit enter after each of these)

apktool d framework-res.apk

apktool if framework.res.apk

apktool d moto-res.apk

apktool if moto-res.apk

apktool d blur-res.apk

apktool if blur-res.apk

apktool d systemui.apk

apktool if systemui.apk

If I could just edit the styles.xml in my current setup that would be awesome because i have some tweaks from UOT in there and everything is perfect except for the menu text color and its driving me nutssssssss trying to fix. Been a great learning experience thought.

---------- Post added at 01:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 AM ----------

Is there a place where Styles.xml is broken down and explained?
[Motorola Droid X2] xkape:
You almost never can edit a themers framework because of broken .9.png files. Thats why I stated in my theme that it was fully guided and able to be recompiled without error. I know thats a big deal to some people. Me included...lol

If my skull thumping headache dies down and I can stare at a comp instead of a phone i will take a look.
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:
Do the .9's get broken because of not using the android sdk? the draw9patch tool? If i make a theme i would like it to be able to compiled and tweaked by others. How can this be prevented?

All im trying to do is change the color of the text in the menu's when the hard menu button is pressed. I was able to do it with stock framework but then everything else i have done gets thrown out. Very frustrating...but good practice.
[Motorola Droid X2] xkape:
They get broken because they get edited but not reguided.
[Motorola Droid X2] TheMuffStuff:
Im infamous for that. ;)

Matt just edit on stock eclipse 2.2 and then transfer over the pngs. Im not sure what xmls i edited
[Motorola Droid X2] mattfox27:

Ya i think the only diffrent xml really was horizontal_progress bar one to make the volume bar blue instead of yellow/orange i hate that orange color!!!

Thats what i have found so far...

Yeah, then just use the stock framework, make any xml edits u want, compile, drag and drop the pngs, and then just drag and drop horizontal_progress.xml from the themed framework to the stock framework and ur set

I recently convinced my management to test an android device (dinc2) to possibly replace our Blackberry server/smartphones.

I got the Dinc2 over the weekend, rooted it (MIUI 1.8.5) and updated the kernal Tiamat 1.1.2.

I added my corporate email account (stock email client) with no issues, send and receive work fine... everything is wonderful except two things.

I seem to have trouble resolving my companies GAL-Global address list.

sending an email to anyone in my contacts works fine, their name is presented as a selection... anyone within the company but outside of my contacts resolves maybe 5% of the time.

We are running exchange 2010.

Is this a common problem?

Is there anything i can do to fix it?

I looked at Touchdown and K9 but i didnt see any info referring to this specific question of mine.

I know there is an option to change font size within phone settings but it doesnt apply to email.

Curious, why did you root and then test? Have you tested this with stock?

Is your company going to root the phones if they switch from Blackberry?

Also, the stock email has very few settings that can be modified. There are better mail apps in the market such as K9, I think its called, that are much more customizable.

Well, for some reason from home i seem to be okay,names resolve most of the time.

It seems that when im not on WiFi names do not resolve.

Going to have to do more testing to confirm the potential issue.

Stock seemed okay... from my home and on my wireless network. I did not test stock other than my home... impatient i guess.

Some folks will root and some will not, i need to cover all bases.
