[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Mordregon:
Personally I've tried a few, and like MIUI the most.

Installed it just few days ago, and everything was great beside 1 problem - battery life was unusually short!

2 things fixed this problem:

1 - I've manually decreased screen brightness to around 25%, still more than enough to use it in most conditions but low enough to preserve batteries

2 - using Clockwork mod launcher (power button + vol up held down at boot) I've gone to Advanced > Wipe Battery Stats

After doing this, the phone is better than it was when I first got it! MIUI overclocks the top speed to 1024mhz, I keep it at 120mhz > 1ghz bottom to top range, Smartass V2 power profile, when not needed I only disable GPS, Sync and all else is on - so far it's been on for exactly 24hours and battery is still on +20% (showing 24% but may not be 100% accurate).

It really feels like a brand new phone now, animations are smooth, fluid, built in browser is great, far better than stock one, the only thing to note is you will have to download and install Google Maps, Facebook, Google+ or Twitter if you wish to use these, MIUI doesn't come with any pre-installed.

Otherwise it's GREAT!

I had a samsung i5700 spica before this one, no official updates after 2.1 and we had a 2.2 cyanogenmod custom port as well as others , still I chose cm so I'm used to using cyanogenmod.

I've tried all 3 custom roms on this one and decided to use cm7.

My best advice is try all three for at least 3 days each and decide for your own since there're many things to choose from which are pretty personal.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] liangse:
It's cm7 by geno for me

i've tried all 3 custom rom stated above, but still always back to cm7.

But try for yourself for best experience
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dennisleussink:
Okay thanks for the reply's.

What programm do i need to backup my stock software?

And how do i install custom roms on my huawei ideos x5?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] alex1301:
you need first a recovery. search at the ideos x5 forum and you will find it. after you installed it you must turn the phone off and hold volume + and press power till the recovery appears. then you baxkup the rom at backup and restore. after that you put a custom ron at yur sd card and choose the option install zip from sd card. congratulation you flashed your phone!

CM team refused to put the fix in as it wasn't pretty enough for them. Seriously - it's a "hack" and so they won't do it. Lawsuit territory there - a *known* problem that could *cost lives* with a *fix available* and they refuse to do it because they don't want to add anything device specific to the source tree.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oxirane:
From what I know, it varies from one area to another whether or not 911 works. I simply added my local police dept, fire dept and hospital to contacts. I use Go Dialer, which is T-9, so calling them is just three taps away.

This effectively fixes the 911 issue for me, and simply put CM7 > all others.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JediDru:
That's fan boy territory there. It's neat and all but A Long ways away from being as stable as our crop of I9000 ginger ports. The problem with cm7 is they are taking a one size fits all approach. You are ABSOLUTELY sure to lose something along the way. And let's be completely honest here most of the vibrant users are less than 18 and more than likely not to dial 911 but to run away. If it's important to you flash something else. You will only be missing out on a laundry list of potential problems and the theme chooser. I do say this on miui. From my experience miui is far and away a much better beast than cm7 and I have done as the guy i've quoted and have my local emergency numbers saved. Sucks to be responsible but you got to do what you got to do.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oxirane:
MIUI ReVaMPeD has the bug, so I imagine MIUI does too.

MIUI is buit from CM7, they both blow everything else out of the water performance-wise (due to different filesystems and whatnot), but they both have the same bugs (give or take a few) and from there I really think it boils down to personal preference.

The Samsung based GB roms still have the reboot issues in lower %s, and from my experience have been pretty awfully laggy. If those have been cleared up, I'll be happy to give them another go, but as of now I'm happy with CM7 and I have my emergency #s stored... I only suggest anyone on MIUI/CM7 (other than Trigger) do the same as a precaution.

And for the record, I am a college student- I'm 19, so just over 18, and while I've never needed to call police, I needed to call an ambulance once when I got hit by a car, but unfortunately I landed on and broke my old flip phone (this was a few years back) in that accident. Thankfully I only had really minor injuries. I'd certainly suggest having those numbers saved.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
ARE YOU GUYS SURE 911 DOESN'T WORK????

Ok so I installed the newly released stable CM. Obviously I'm not going to call 911 and test, but I tried a different number 311 and sure enough it routed and connected me correctly to the City of Los Angeles 311 Information System. This makes me think 911 should work too.

If 311 was routed correctly to the City of Los Angeles 311 Information System, why wouldn't 911 be correctly routed and connected?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oxirane:
There was an explanation a while ago in the Nightly thread about how 911 is handled... I understood it worked for some people, not for others. I'd say be responsible and add those contacts, but hey, you're welcome to try calling 911 :P

Should I be in a situation where 911 is necessary, I'll give it a go. However, I'm not deleting those emergency numbers from my contacts just in case.

I dunno...I fired up Google Earth on my lunch break sitting in my truck at work. I tapped "my location" and it flew in and was only off by 1 parking spot. I'd say that's pretty accurate.

So far as the radio strength I'd have to agree...usually it works fine for me, but some times I can't get a signal with it on my center console but if I put it in the door-handle pocket it works fine. I think that might be software tweakable...

All my other phones put me withing a few feet of my location, nor more than a few yards off in most situations. This has constantly had me at least a half of a mile off. I has me in an adjacent neighborhood at home and a half mile out in the river at work. i have tried all the settings. I am leaving work early today and going to Sprint for a possible exchange to another Touch. I already anticipate the run around but if they cant get me at least in the sprint parking lot, I am demanding a new phone. Its to the point where I cant use my GPS because it is totally inaccurate.

For me, I have never seen longer then 30 seconds. Usually less then 10 seconds.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoDahi:
Hi,

I'm thinking to buy a new tablet pc for my school. I'll convert my books into pdf files and will continue lessons with tablet pc.

I need:

- Performance(performance means for me, what is smooth on home screen animations and switching between applications)

- Pen, which is has a thin pointer & body and useful for every app any second

- Screen size

And I searched the market for that options, result is : Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 or HTC Flyer.

Now, I need to know truths about Samsung Galaxy 10.1. Let me know them please..

Firstly when I was searching on the market, I tested the SG 10.1 and saw the:

- Animations are not smooth, I think 1Ghz processor is not enough

- Boot time is so bad, about 25-30 seconds(HTC Flyer is ready in 3 seconds)

What about your lookouts? Battery time on usage and more important question: battery life? I mean is battery time is always same on same usage or its decreasing? (if you use)pen performance, is that a good device to school?

Thanks a lot for your answers.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 40mpg:
yeah the Tab is not performing as expected, too many slow down and bugs, i am quite dissatisfied with mine. It has the best screen out of all the tablets, but that was it, get an Ipad 2 man, your needs is simple enough for a simple device. My two cents.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brett_day:
every android honeycomb tab will perform the same. all have the same processor etc. stock launcher is laggy.Download and install ADW EX, super slick, super smooth, no lag.

As for stylus the Adonit pro stylus is what you will need, costs $30. Gtab 10.1 will be perfect. just switched to it from the eee pad transformer and love it

Battery life is awesome. I am a heavy user and i get about 8 hours. As for overall processor performance ICe Cream Sandwich will be optimized for multiple core processors. When ICS comes out in a few weeks, Tegra 2 powered devices will rip everything else to shreds. that being said performance is great right now.

IPAD 2 IS NOT THE ANSWER! Sheesh! If half the users of Android tabs would just do a little research they would understand that they kick the iPads ass when it comes to functionality.

Also stay away from the HTC Flyer. Number one it runs gingerbread and not the tablet optimized Honeycomb software. It is about to be discontinued, and recently took a nose dive in price to $299, the stylus that you need for it (the official HTC one) costs $80. craziness!! It also only has a single core processor(galaxy tab has dual core) and a 7" screen compared to the 10.1 inch on the galaxy tab

How does it kill the ipad2? I just got the tab. I am a graduate student, so money is not loose for me. I need performance and functionality that will last... and I mean last. Not be outdated and useless in a few months like many android devices suffer.

I am debating if the ipad2 might be a better investment. What do you think?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stardate Tab 10.1:
Come on dude. Think before you post. Will the ipad 2 be "useless" when ipad 3 comes out? Every gadget that is made is updated to a newer model every year. But, they all still perform. And work. Only techies and wealthy people update their device every year.

As for OP- go to store and try out different tablets and see if they do what you want them to do. You will never know untill you play around with them. Although, if you searched just a couple of threds here, there seems to be a number of tab owners who do not like the stylus input on their device. I use my tab in my World History classroom, but mostly to supplement a lesson. I absolutely love my galaxy tab, but there are far more useful applications for education on the ipad.

on the Flyer

Well on the topic of stylus input neither produce the results expected. The galaxy tab doesnt accept a fine enough input to be useful with handwriting, however typing is a breeze from the large screen area and then with a bluetooth keyboard it is almost as good as a full blown laptop, if not as good. The Flyer is a great tablet in its own regard but lack of official Honeycomb drove me away, and the stylus while fairly accurate cannot replace pen and paper and with my larger hands did not jive and palm rejection was lacking. So if stylus input was a hope go demo them and see for yourself!

Oh also I typed all of this on my Gtab

"Paid" apps are supposed to verify you own them before they work right? I have seen before where if I remove my gmail account from my tablet then some apps break and won't run properly. With that said, I paid for sketchbook pro and can't re-download it to my Xoom because 3.2.2 changed the screen density. I'm looking for a way to get the app again without going through "unkown" sources. The screen density change has caused the market to drop it entirely off the list when browsing from my Xoom and from the web I can't push it back to the Xoom.

I did download a "copy" but when I run it it says cracked by so and so and I really don't trust cracked software so I uninstalled it.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] arrtoodeetoo:
Are you able to download it to your XOOM from the online browser market? If you have a VZW XOOM, it should still work. If not, you may have to download it to your phone and pull the APK and sideload it on your XOOM (your phone would have to be rooted to do that.)

Also, for future reference, Titanium Backup is your friend.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] cwizardtx:
Trying to push it to the Xoom = your device is incompatible.

Autodesk has for some reason locked this app into only working on a certain screen density. It will not download to my Nexus One either.

And your tip is well noted, but who would have thought sending their Xoom off to get upgraded to 4G would come back a different screen density... and on top of that who knew it would make so many apps incompatible LOL.

Worst comes to worst... I can just wait. Autodesk will fix the issue on their own sooner or later but I thought I'd ask around.
