Well, like I said, what works for me doesn't necessarily work for you. :confused:

Anyway, this is what I did and it worked, maybe it can help others.

0. Copy the original B162 ROM ("dload"-folder which has two files, UPDATE.APP AND UPDATE_CUST.APP) to the root of your SDCARD

1. Update to B162 by holding down +- keys while turning on the phone

2. After the first reboot, it's giving error messages for not being able to mount this and that...just ignore it and...

--> Wipe data / factory reset --> remove battery

3. Update the B162 again --> this time everything should go OK, if so, your phone is back to stock B162 and you're ready to use it or update a custom rom (just install Clockwork recovery like you used to and start from there)

The last point (3) may be unnecessary, but I did so just to make sure everything's ok.

Edit: OK, and I meant b162, not b160... :mad:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
For me it also works. I have downgrade without any problem and I use to the b 162 version. Now Ian back to oxygen
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Druida69:
yes I made it with this B162.

**** this **** I'm going back to custom rom.

No point of using this official release if future customs will use the libs from this one.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
And then there's the fact that the official gb is still beta, it's not supposed to work perfectly. But as long as the dev team here stays active, I think that I'm gonna stick with custom roms too. :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Druida69:
ho my god.

didn't work.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mesnati:
I am stuck here also :((

Nothing worked :(

I tried clockwork recovery - it doesnt get to. It is just rebooting.

I tried with various dload UPDATE.IMG's (GB Overseas, GB orig chinese,B162,B138) nothing is working - stucked in "Step 1/2 Unpacking" window forever.

Anyone has solution for this ? :(

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ptvideo:
Since the new Rom is public I have read all posts about it here. Maybe I had lucky, or simple due it without messing with the files.

Yesterday I made the upgrade to the new rom, directly from the last Oxigen version, without downgrade to 2.2. I simply create the dload folder on SD card, put there de update file, boot with +- Power, and chose upgrade from SD card.

After step 2 I reboot the phone a install step 3 upgrade. Everything as installed fine, no boot loops, nothing...

Also the root method decribed in this forum as work on first time.

24 hours after the upgrade, and some reboots to test, I never se the boot loops, and the phone is working well.

The new ROM, even in beta stage, to me is a great improvement.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Druida69:
Well either you were lucky or me and the majority were unlucky.

But issues only start to happens when rooting.

So that you can see it fried me the 1 USB cable. This cable is only good to charge the battery now....

Also, ****ed the device USB storage MOUNT.

I connect it to the computer and the computer sees it as a CD drive not allowing any changes.

Also when press the button to mount the USB on the device it never gets mounted and gives the messages that the SD can now be removed.

So I have put this issue many times but up to the moment no one even reply to help.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
I don't think so, but 2.3.5 will replace your CWM with its own, so you cannot downgrade it back using CWM (yet anyways).

What is best?

I havn't even rooted my phone yet, new to these things. I was desperately waiting for the official 2.3 and it turned out to be a load full of mistakes. I want to install either miui or oxygen or cyanogen, can anyone please tell me which of these is the most battery efficient? And can I switch to official 2.3 once a stable one is released? if yes how?? Thank you .
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Druida69:
With HUawei X5 each device is different so my advice is for you to try those 3and see which one is best for you.

Oxygen and CM7 are pretty much the same when talking about looks.

MIUI is totally diferent. Personally is my favourite for many reasons, but particularly because we can send/receive MMS without having the Data service activated. Similar to stock roms.

With Oxygen and CM7 to send/receive MMS you have to activate data and each one endup costing you the double. Good for those with data plans included in their contracts.

Nevertheless, give them all a try. ;)

You can change anytime to an official rom even easier as installing a custom rom.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jy0thish:
thanx for the info. I'll try miui then.

I installed MIUI, really like it. My SD card has lots of apps in it ( move to SD card, during 2.2.1 of HUAWeI). I believe it still uses lots of space on my SD card. Is there a way to clean those data? Or use those apps on MIUI? Thanks.

i think we need to have a dedicated Q&A sub-forum.

the threads are often over-populated and answers 2 small questions cannot be asked there, and given the fact that they are "small", they can't be privileged 2 populate the general forum either. so, according to me, a dedicated "Q&A" sub-forum is a potential solution. wat do u all think????'

BTW, i wanted 2 know if i can flash the NOVA 09 Kernel on the stock 2.2.2 ROM???...

answer pleaseee!!!!

[G1 Android Development] Halieus:
Is there any app/hack That allows me to put the power management buttons in the notification bar for a 1.6 ROM? Feel free to flame me if its already been posted just include a url, but I've searched and can't find it.

What I mean is buttons to turn on/off stuff like wifi, blue tooth, GPS, and brightness in the pull down menu of the status bar. It's easy to find in froyo+ ROMs, but anything higher than 1.6 runs slow as H E Double Hockey Sticks (HEDHS) on my G1. Any hope? I got spoiled on several other phones that are all permanently bricked so I'm back on the old G1 for 9 months till a decent upgrade can be had with tmobile.

This is a question and a suggestion for development. If I get an answer here that allows me to do this I plan to pursue and post results for a hardware hack which allows me to install a headphone jack on the G1. (This is the last feature I need to keep me from deciding to spend the money on a newer phone instead.)

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] Rushness:
I don't THINK anyone made this until now. But it's not that hard i think... Possibly the same like in Froyo ROM's.
[G1 Android Development] Litesorrows:
There's no point in keeping 1.6 on G1. Sure Froyo and Gingerbread are slow, but the features outweight the speed. If your a Speed Junkie, try a AOSP based rom for the G1.

If you want CM FroyobyLazlo, or GingerbreadbyNomy. Both two great roms for the G1. I have 2 G1's, one running FBL, the other GBN. :D
[XPERIA X10 General] Karlson2k:
X10 with GB stock ROM got new feature: "Data Traffic" notification (icon).

With some localizations this notification is appeared only when cell data is disabled and can be cleared, with some other localizations this notification is displayed whenever cell data is enabled or disabled and can't be cleared.

You need your phone to be rooted if you want to modify "Data Traffic" behaviour.

You can activate/deactivate this notification for enabled and disabled data traffic and switch on/off ability to clear this notification.

All settings are in /system/etc/customization/settings/com/android/phone/custom_settings.xml file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<settings version="1">
<setting key="data-connection-except-mms-can-clear-icon" runtime="false">true</setting>
<setting key="data-connection-except-mms-show-icon-when-enabled" runtime="false">false</setting>
<setting key="data-connection-except-mms-show-icon-when-disabled" runtime="false">true</setting>
</settings>

Settings are self-explanatory.

Some localized ROM don't have phone/ directory or custom_settings.xml file. If you don't have this file, then you Xperia will defaults to quoted settings. In that case you can just create /system/etc/customization/settings/com/android/phone/ directory and put attached xml in it.

You can use attached xRecovery patch to completely disable all "Data Traffic" icons with any stock 2.3.3 ROM. (thanks to audacious from 4pda.ru for assembling this patch)

Moreover this patch should works with any Xperia. (x10, x8, x10 mini/pro, Arc, Arc S, Neo, Ray...)

Tested on X10 (stock, Wolf's ROMs), Neo (stock).

;) You could press | THANKS | if it works for you and you like it.:)​

[XPERIA X10 General] WildMoves:
Tested on my Xperia Neo, and it's working. Thanks :)

Although I should clarify that there were some unrelated settings on the file... So instead of replacing it, I just inserted the missing settings into the existing one.
[XPERIA X10 General] Karlson2k:
Important setting for power saving: "<setting key="prefer-2g-visibility" runtime="false">true</setting>".

Allow you to switch on/off preference for 2G network.

As I understood if you set in GUI "WCDMA (preferred)/GSM" and "Use only 2G networks" than in reality 2G network will be used if available and 3G network will be used only if 2G isn't available.

It's better than "GSM only" because you'll not lose connection if only 3G network is available.

In a few words: you can use both 2G and 3G networks and save battery in the same time (but with lower data speeds).

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metallijim:
Hi, I've recently purchased an Arc s, excellant phone, but can't seem to connect to my pc (using pc companion) via my wifi router.

The phone is not modded in any way, it connects to the router and the internet perfectly fine, just can't get pc companion to connect.

It connects fine via usb, when I'm following the instructions, i can get my pc to show up on the phone as a trusted device, but then it gets stuck in a connecting loop, the phone shows as connection, and on pc companion it says it will go to the last step automatically.

I have had the occasional connection problem to the internet via wifi, but think I've solved them now. The connection to the pc has never worked.

Any pointers would be great, as my partner also has a Neo, but I thought it best to get mine working first

Also pc is running windows 7 home premium x64, Router is a Netgear WNR2000v2 and is connected to my pc via ethernet cable

Many thanks

P.s I've also had trouble setting up a ftp network. Dont know of they could point to some thing. I've followed guides but to no avail.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] groover1964:
Telstra in Australia has implemented HD Voice for supported devices.

The Galaxy Nexus supports AMR-WB as a codec, but I can't find if it is activated by default.

Is anyone aware of the Galaxy Nexus code to get to the Service Menu so I can see if AMR-WB is activated or not?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Equinox102:
It's definately not activated by default. The 'service menu' that the SGS2 had was a Samsung thing and isn't included on AOSP-based ROMs like what is on the Nexus.

I did manage to get WB-AMR working under Cyanogenmod on my SGS2 by adding the appropriate variable to the build.prop file. I'll give it a go on my Nexus when I have time tomorrow.

The supports however needs to be built into the modem firmware for any ROM to support it. The Nexus does use the same modem as the SGS2 (Intel X-GOLD 626) so the hardware support is there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clefster:
I'd love to know this too.. couldn't find a service menu item myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Equinox102:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Equinox102:

I've also been trying to find out how to enable HD Voice on my Yakju (4.02 rooted) version.

On the Samsung (AU) site they list slightly different specs for the Telstra version (just the SAR Value). Would this mean there is a difference in the hardware of Yakju handsets and the Telstra variant?

If it's not hardware, then is there a way to tell the difference between the Telstra system image and the Yakju system image? Maybe like the linux 'diff' command.

Accidental HD Voice

I swear I had an HD Voice call to a SGS2 that took me by surprise (as I wasn't aware of HD voice at the time). I was unnerved by the sound quality being that much better than I was expecting.

I'm on Three UK which have supported HD Voice for some time.

I have an imported Galaxy Nexus bought off contract. It's been flashed with plain old US Jelly bean.
