[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fabio-Grave:
Hello!

First of all, I'm not responsible for any damage to your phone. I just share my experience based on internet research. Resulted in my phone, in my friends phone and other users phone. So, have carefully and follow step by step and everything will go well.

I love games and I was sad to discover that our X5 did not support HD games or some games by gameloft (3D and HD). I saw some X5 on youtube playing some of these games, so I decided to investigate how to work and found some information but not complete. For this we have to "fool" the market, ie, we will make the market notice that we have a HTC Desire HD (almost identical hardware and firmware).

Time to "action"

1º - Going to the market and download Root Explorer.

Ok is a paid app but I recommend, and if you are clever you can get it in "black market" at the cost 0 :p However there may be other applications that also work, such as ES Explorer or AstroFile.

2º - Play app and navigate to/system.

3º - In the upper right corner has to be "Mount R / O", if not load until there.

4º - Search for the file "build.prop" and press for 2 seconds to open up a new label. There are going to walk down and select "Open in Text Editor."

5º - Once opened change these six fields:

[ul]

[li]ro.product.model=Desire HD[/li]

[li]ro.product.brand=htc_wwe[/li]

[li]ro.product.name=htc_ace[/li]

[li]ro.product.device=ace[/li]

[li]ro.product.board=ace[/li]

[li]ro.product.manufacturer=HTC[/li]

[/ul]

Have to look like the screenshot:

6º - Then press the menu button and do "Save & Exit" to save changes and exit. The program will automatically create the file "build.prop.bak" which is a backup in case something goes wrong.

7º - Reboot phone.

And it's done, now to check if everything is ok can go to "Settings->System->About phone" and see if in the model appears Desire HD.

Then you have to enter the market (I think it has to be via mobile phone and PC) to update and verify if the market now recognizes as a HTC Desire HD.

Here are some HD games perfectly playable on my X5.

I recommended to install ChainFire 3D and her plugins too

:)

Asphalt 6HD don't work here.

Intro video is not showing well, only stripes..and after that goes back to launcher.

Any suggestions?

using also MIUI 1.12.9 cpu: 1,2

I try to install Chainfire 3D + plugins, maybe that helps

N.O.V.A.2 HD works well

Thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mkr17:
i havent tried nova but asphalt 6 runs awsm . here it is -

first of all u dont have to spend money on costly games like asphalt 6 . they r easily accessible 4 free .

there is a torrent on pirate bay or kickasstorrents named asphalt 6 ( for android ) . it has full sd data and apk . just put the sd data in sdcard/gameloft/games and install the apk . it works fine n u dont need chainfire for any game ( except few tegra ones) .

found it - its on pirate bay n size is 448mb . cant share link here . will pm u if u dont find it . u can also try 9mm ,it also works fine .
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fabio-Grave:
Its true, but I think you cant talk about "hacking" here in forum ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mkr17:
oks sorry . will keep that in mind next time . couldnt stop myself because i too wandered here and there for many days to get asphalt 6 work on my x5 . lol :p:p

anyone got jaggies in hd games ?

i play hd games like modern combat 3 but it looks very ugly with jaggies everywhere
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] MasterSkeetS:
I can't get any of them to work...

Did the mod required for HD and installed Chainfire3D..nothing!

Stripes in the movies and they simply close after that.

Any clues?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fabio-Grave:
Try to find another .apk for htc desire. Which game you want to tell you which version you should get?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] alex1301:
I've got it working without a mod, because our phone is official supported for nova 2, uno and asphalt 6
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] MasterSkeetS:
Just tried Fast 5...

Nothing...stripes and exits.

version 1.0.3 (don't know if theres is a more recent one)

And by the way..on the market my X5 shows up like Vodafone Huawei U8800 (don't know if it's normal since it's unlocked)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fabio-Grave:
That is the right version for HTC Desire, I don't know why doesn't work.

This kind of problem has also happened to me, but I touch on screen and "skip" button appears at the bottom and from there is all ok.

When you use the plugins of chainfire you choose "Fix Market Settings"?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] MasterSkeetS:
Well... i guess it was a bad apk. Just managed to get it to work.

Tyvm for the help.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Mehre:
Does this work even on u8800 pro?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] julle131:
I don't have pro, but I think it *SHOULD* work. it only makes your phone think that it is Desire HD. But because pro has different chip, I can't be sure. Better way might be finding a phone that is closer to your phone, and modify build.prop to think your phone is the other phone.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rilam1987:
It doesnt work on 8800pro.I have cm7 latest 07/01/2012 and in restart it gives me black screen and must be reflash the rom.Any chance to play HD games in 8800pro?

geno@geno-desktop #2)

what should i do if i want to play hd games:confused:

help me out
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Mehre:
okay, thx for info

what parameters must be same ( or almost) to make this work?

are enough CPU,graphic chip,display,memory or i need more like android version, battery, camera etc?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fabio-Grave:
Your phone is rooted?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fabio-Grave:
But you have a custom rom? If yes you only have to follow this how-to step by step and it's done (with root). If you have a stock rom I don't know if it works cuz I never tried :confused:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fabio-Grave:
Sorry, I don't understand your question :confused:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] prmsc:
thanks Fabio, your tutorial works fine ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] julle131:
I'm not exactly sure, but i think CPU, GPU an memory would be all that's needed.

He's trying to figure a phone that is close to u8800pro, so that this trick can be used to that phone too.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Mehre:
So, I was trying to find best device and i found SE Neo ,which has same hardware and has support for HD games from gameloft.

After rewriting in build.prop:

ro.product.model=MT15i

ro.product.brand=SEMC

ro.product.name=MT15i_1246-9107

ro.product.device=MT15i

ro.product.board=

ro.product.manufacturer=Sony Ericsson

and rebooting. In About Phone it shows MT15i and market shows HD games. Unfortunately I havent tried any HD game yet.

Hellow guys, i have a question, i have a huawei ideos x5 pro with chinese cyanogen 7.

I try to install root explorer but because the chinese cyanogen has already a file manager, i get the message that i cant install root explorers.

I install others file managers, but noone of them cant change the file build.prop and save it.So i try with the chinese explorer which is already installed but it is in chinese and i dont know chinese, i know greek and english:p so i ask you, when i tap for 3 seconds the file, it shows me some options with chinese language, and i want to tell me which option is to edit the file?

Or if there is other solution to change build.prop on order to play gameloft hd games...

Thanks a lot.:)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] 4eLLka:
No chance bro :)

only if you use cracked games
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] -TRANE-:
Yes, it is rooted with cyanogen but i cant install root explorer which is the best for rooted devices, i try to install, he ask me replace system app?

i say yes, but it cant be install and say the app isn't installed.

Pls help me...:(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fabio-Grave:
That's weird. If he asks to replace the app is because he must bring the program installed in that rom. Have you been to the app manager to see if there appears?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] -TRANE-:
I go to app manager but i cant uninstall the chinese manager.

Weird things.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] -TRANE-:
sorry for double post.

Is there a way to delete the app from the sdcard?

I mean to connect the phone to my pc, then i will find the chinese manager via windows and then delete.

can do this?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Mehre:
That is not true. Modern combat 3, Brother in arms 2 global front are working for me(changed build.prop, written few replies above).I have no place on my SD card so i cant try another games but i think that everything supported for SE neo should work. Recently i discovered that my gyroscopic sensor is not working in some applications.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fabio-Grave:
I don't know if it is safe :confused:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] -TRANE-:
Anyone another to know if it sure to delete stock ups?

I am rooted.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cocous:
I have a 8800PRO and try to play the MODERN COMBAT3 but it is not compatible with my device. I changed the build.prop accordance with the instructions and managed to play several games from GAMELOFT. But nothing of this. Something I've noticed in the system information is that everything has changed in ACE, HTC, but the model is still U8800PRO. to build, prop but I've changed regularly. whether they need any additional changes ? sorry for my English
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] qwerty12:
Probably - if you run it through apktool and look at uk/co/neilandtheresa/VIE/w.smali, you'll see that it looks for "ace" and "htc", which is what the properties are set to with regard to the values in the first post.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Typhoon_PT:
So, I will have to change the build.prop and reebooting to switch between the games and vignette?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] alfaomega93:
I've just reboot my phone after changing everything that you said I should change, but my phone is stuck on the Huawei flower screen for a couple of minutes already.

When I did this on the stock Rom everythin went smoothly, dunno why it went worng this time on MIUI. ._.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] bronxitas:
On custom rom's you shud do less modifications in build.prop and all goes ok :)

EDIT: You must change ro.product.model, ro.product.brand and o.product.manufacturer and all goes OK :) did you do cwm backup before playing with system files? ;)

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Metsuki19:
I can confirm that this does indeed happen even with the latest Aurora ICS with the 3.0.8 kernel, I wish there was a way to make this work.

go to app>all>delete the data from the market, it worked with me.

(also try clearing the dalvik cache and cache).

You can also try to install from you desktop's browser.

http://huawei-ideosx5en.blogspot.in/2011/11/gameloft-hd-games.html

( only 5 fields changed )
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Andrioid.:
It makes my phone overheat, it makes the battery drain about 25% per hour(even with stand-by), it makes the camera and torch not work and the gameloft games are still not supported! :(

Could it be anything I did wrong?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fabio-Grave:
I've tested it on many X5 and never had any such of these problems.

Are you sure you did all the steps?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Andrioid.:
100% sure. I even tried twice.

I haven't tried the "fix" though, where you only change 5 fields. I'll try that tomorrow.

EDIT: That didn't work either! Perhaps it's because I have Aurora ICS?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ZaNobey:
build prop huawei x5 to galaxy s2

I tried everything,but the build.prop of galaxy s2 actually helped..

I tried many ways by changing my gpu details and more...but it was so simple :)

change:

ro.product.manufacturer=samsung

ro.product.model=GT-I9100

ro.product.name=GT-I9100

ro.product.board=GT-I9100

ro.product.brand=samsung

ro.product.device=GT-I9100

----------------------------------------

i didn't try to find which,actually,lines were the reason i could see many apps in google play.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sr21:
I've changed the lines in my build.prop to Desire HD

Changes in build.prop:

ro.product.device=msm7630_surf

DO NOT change this line, if you change it your camera will not work in Aurora ICS

And I did the suggestion of Metsuki19

Reboot into recovery

When I went to browser I was able to install HD games like the ones you can find in the picture attached.

you will need ROOT to have access to you phone internal memory. to do this, you need root AND a file explorer with ROOT access (root explorer, solid explorer, etc.).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogol:
Dear Android developers,

Most of you should be aware of this on going issue with Android:

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=49e2b1adea1aa11c&hl=en

Basically, when you synced with GMail Contacts, the contact photos will be replaced with the low resolution 96x96 pixel resolutions that are stored in the GMail Contacts.

So, is anyone up to an application to workaround this?

I have a very good idea, an application that does this:

- Start the application

- Click the "Replace" button

- Then the application will search all image files in folder /sdcard/ContactPhotos

- For each matching image file name with "<lastname>,<firstname>.png", the application will replace the contact photo with that image file

- Process until finished with all stored image files

- Done

The idea of this application, user could easily replace all contact photos using locally stored high resolution image files, in one go.

Whenever, our contact photos are replaced with low resolution from GMail Contacts or after flashing a new ROM, or other means, we can easily restore them back with high resolution easily!

So, please, if you are capable of making this kind of app, you could be the one who solve this years of Android problem.

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infazz:
just sign in to FriendsStream widget with facebook or twitter, and sync with all contacts!

this will fix this issue and images will be clear and hq :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jvvpc:
Very nice ;)

Should be said that it's a ICS speficic problem :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogol:
This is not about Facebook/Twitter contact sync.

This is about GMail Contacts sync.

Those two are different, if you dont know.

And not all people (contacts) are on Facebook/Twitter!

I also heard that even with FriendsStream/SyncMyPix, to sync with Facebook, you will not get high resolution image.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogol:
No, this is not ICS specific problem.

This problem is known issue since as long as 2008:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1265

Wonder why we don't have workaround like this suggested app ...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jvvpc:
Well would say it is :) The actual size when people call is decided in the phone and people app. Android other than ICS will still be limited to the small sizes. Only ICS supports 256x256 pictures and will therefore only benifit for a server upgrade / this app :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogol:
In GB, I can replace contact photo with high resolution, no problem with that.

But once you sync with GMAIL Contacts, it will be replaced with low resolution.

Have you read the original Google bug tracking started on 2008?

You should, then you would understand.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogol:
If you read carefully, I was not asking to solve a problem as by tweaking or changing configuration.

I was asking someone who could write an application that does specific task, replacing contact photos using high resolution images stored locally.

Got that?
