Try using Dorimanx 3.9 Ultimate Kernel. That one seems to work very well.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] hebbe:
flashed it yesterday.

very smooth, stable so far.

but it seems that this roms consumes much battery. been using jan-willems miui rom form the 18th of december, and it seems that his rom consumes less battery.

will have an eye on it and report again later.

by the way: what's the best radio for this rom? currently i'm on the 2.11.50.20. are there any better?

thanks for your great work, this a fantastic rom.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] daraza:
few times phone application cause FC.

rebooted

donno why but happens everyday...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Djolenzze:
im using this rom for 2 weeks now, and went from v4 to v5, did full clean install, it runs almost smooth and flawless, tho i had some issues, on first, i lost my data few times, then i needed to edit my AP's and reboot few times..

Applanet market geting FC's all the time, in 2-3 ocasions i manage to download something from it (on V5) tho it did work fine on V4.

and i had some issue regarding lower signal reception, example: with other roms i have 3/4 to full signal bar graph, and on the same place, with this rom, i have 1/3-1/2 signal bar graph, i dont say its bad, but every time i flash this rom i have that issue.

I dont get reboot and other FC's. everything else is working fine. i made 150/20 and have 2GB ext3, on kingston 16 GB class 10.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monnyaa:
Hi, I have a Nexus S running 4.0.3 and I have a password (the alphanumeric one) set on it. (someone else set it, it's all a really dumb situation)

I thought that if you couldn't remember your password that you could log in with your main Google credentials, but I see no such option, even after failing the password 70 times!

If I can't do that then how can I get around this password?

Thanks for any help!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrackDaddy:
It gives you the option to change your password :D Just click: "Can't access your account?" @ google account sign in via your pc, you'll then be asked to give your e-mail adress & proceed from there! ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monnyaa:
Ah no, what I meant was there's a password on my phone which I can't remember.

I know my Google password.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhemi4x4:
You can try Screen Lock Bypass App

I used it on my old phone, worked

havent tried it on nexus s though

works by downloading it from market.android.com

if it works, you can get in to save data/pics and then wipe the phone

it wont recover the pw thought
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monnyaa:
Never mind, just decided to do a hard reset from recovery. Shame though.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Bradshort:
NEED TO BE ROOTED

Been thinking of playing with the LCD density but briefly reading thru posts on google and some people have had calibration and touch issues if they tweak their lcd density on their devices, so this has kinda put me off. Just wondered if anyone was braver than me?

:D
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Bradshort:
Well, I went ahead and updated the dpi using lcd density modder app from the market. I think the sweet spot is 190 but I have the screen shots, 240, 200, 190. As you can see you can fit a lot more on the screen if you set the dpi to 190.

Apparently some apps struggle with this change but so far everything working ok. Sorry for image sizes but I think they emphasise the point
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] lardman:
Out of interest what is the default dpi?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Bradshort:
The default value was 240, and i currently have it on 190
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] cvcduty:
I simply modified the build.prop entry for icd density to read 190 and all is well. I made a backup of the build.prop of course just in case.

It makes the screen look sharper I think.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Bradshort:
Thats all these apps do to be fair. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Rueben_:
Yea I used 190 as well with a free app called "LCD Resolution" it has the option to apply on reboot as well

. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] n64_ali:
Did anyone notice that some of the graphics on the lockscreen come up short after setting the DPI to 190? (I also tried at 210 and while the effect is not as noticeable, it's still there.) Also some of the icons in the notification bar are slightly "off". Although it does look a bit better with a lower LCD density, I prefer fit/finish. Thanks for the tip though.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Bradshort:
Changing the lcd density is a hack at the end of the day, and some rendered elements will not like it. I take the approach that it is a trade off of functionality versus aesthetics
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] eng_matt:
i will try 190 dpi
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ZaIINN:
Eh I tried 190 DPI and while it did make it look better on menu-oriented lists like in the Setting app... everything else was awful (the app positioning, the lockscreen, pretty much everthing else scaled for 240).

Its interesting that we can adjust this, but I would say it's not worth it at all other than to just try once.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] exodus454:
I just tried it too.. cool to play around with but 240 looks best, imo.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] cvcduty:
Well... I just hit the ill effects of changing the density. Some of my apps are shown "incompatible with your device" message.

No big deal, but... annoying.

I wonder if some of the "cracked market" fixes for other devices will work with this player.

Anyone know?

Edit:

I got it! I used the Hacked Market per directions from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1456306 -> http://rootzwiki.com/topic/15568-rel-market-fix-dpi-compatibility/ to get the Market fooled to thinking I had DPI set at 240. All my apps which were shown "not compatible" with 190 DPI, are now available.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ZaIINN:
How can you stand the whole screen not being used lol Even @ 190dpi it's still 4x4 and looks horrible =P
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] cvcduty:
4X4? Do you mean the launcher layout?

I use ADW EX and I have no problems with the screen space. The only minor thing that barely bugs me is the lock screen that looks partial.

Well, I am hoping that we get some custom roms on this thing soon. I am running ICS on my Cappy and TP and I am loving it.

as I see that there is a B866 which is based on 2.3.6 gb. I didn't see a clue about is it official or not.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] diogojcr:
Apparently B866 is Huawei Honor 2.3 rom which Huawei made avaliable on their site a couple days ago.

This chinese rom seems based on that B866 rom, too bad Google Translator is not good enough to understand the user feedback on the chinese forum, don't even know if it has other languages besides chinese. Waiting for feedback in english :)

Downloading with JDownloader at the moment :P
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] lovetide:
It's not an official one, Huawei never post news on third party forums.

brief translation of the Description section:

━━━━━━━━━━

it's based on offcial 2.3 ROM(B866) for Huawei Honor U8860, it keep the offcial characters as far as possible. stripped out some bundled applications like Sina blogging (a twitter liked application)

fixed the readonly CUST issue; added root priviledge; added RE manager(root explorer?).

added Senior G (genokolar)'s enhanced script

default: enabled 80M compcache(ZRAM); FPS is unlocked

use non-overclocking kernel; camera will really support HDR; system upgrade to 2.3.6; keeps featured appliclations in Honor ROM; task preview; etc...

Known issues:

according my personal test, WIFI is working, but WIFI AP is not working because it totally based on Honor framework.

because it will mount /CUST partition in this ROM and the launcher bundled a theme(?), so the power off/on speed is slow, my test result is about 40 seconds.

do you try this rom ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sr21:
I'm doing that at the moment.

I've just downloaded the rom last night and I leaved it uploading during the night.

In the afternoon I'l give some feedback about it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] madmax59:
ok. we will be wait your feedback

thanks :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sr21:
So, we have:

- Not working Wifi AP (If I try to enable it, I get Error message and if I try to enable Wifi after the phone reboots)

- No GAPPS

---> I've installed Cyanogem GAPPS and it works without problems (so far)

- The sound recorder have a lot of background noise, but I think that also happens in the 2.3.5

- Working all sensors

- Working Wifi, GPS, Bluetooth, 3G (I don't have data plan so I didn't test it correctly)

- The sound while calling it's a little better than the official 2.3.5 (28/12/11)

- USB connection to the PC is also working

- Sound works like 2.3.5

- It cames with TitaniumBackup 4.0, Root Explorer (I think). Both apps are in chinese!

- It have a pretty cool task manager

- The launcher is the same of 2.3.5

For what I've tested it could be a good rom to have, but there are no big differences to the 2.3.5.

You could see some screenshots of the rom attached
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
So is needed to install first the 2.3 of huwei and only after this one or I can go directly from my miui with the old kernel?

Thanks for the help
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sr21:
I don't have those probems in this ROM neither in te 2.3.5.

This is one port of the Huawei Honor (u8860) (Portuguese article)

Try the ROM and tell us your feedback.

Maybe the drivers included in this ROM solve some issues.

I'll install it once again to see if the missing calls issue is present.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sr21:
ROM Info:

This port is based in the B866 Stock ROM of Hauwei Honor (u8860)

- It was realesed by Hauwei on the December 30th of 2011.

- The language should be English but as the port was made for a Chinese developer it have the Chinese language as the first one, but all the other languages are present.

DO NOT ISNSTALL THE ROM OF THE LINK ABOVE, IT'S ONLY FOR INFO!!! THAT ROM IS TO U8860 NOT TO U8800.

About the port:

- The ROM is based entirelly in the B866 ROM of the u8860.

- Some stuff (garbage apps) of the original ROM were removed.

- Root added.

- The FPS are unlocked.

- Non overclocking kernel.

- The camera supports HDR

- Pretty cool task manager, with previews of the running programs.

Not Working:

- The only problem is the Wifi AP, but I don't use it, so it isn't a problem for me at all.

You can install it using CWM (I'm using the v.5.0.2.7).

- Just clear cache, factory reset.

- Go to advanced, clear Dalvik cache.

- Reboot recovery (sometimes the SD card doen´t mount properly and doing the reboot recovery the issue is solved)

- Install zip from SD Card.

- Install the GAPS if you want them and reboot.

More feedback about it:

- Since yesterday I didn't have any reboot or FC.

- I've ran Antutu Benchmark and I got better results than the 2.3.5 stock rom. My results with 2.3.5 with the stock kernel are more or less 2400 and with this one I got 2643.

- I can play 3D games like Ninja Fruit, GT Racing better than with the 2.3.5.

- No missing calls issue of the 2.3.5

Any bugs?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sr21:
That's the point. 1 bug (wifi ap is not working)! (see page 2 for a detailed review)

My phone is working much better than with the 2.3.5...

I'm using it with the default kernel, so I don't have OC but at least I've good sound when I'm a call.

The battery seems to be better but I'm doing a lot of tests and trying some apps and I can't tell how much time it last on normal use.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] trocLas:
"Wifi ap" not working means what? Can't connect to wireless network?

What about rooting the device and applying a CWM Recovery?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sr21:
No.

You can't create a hotspot with your phone to share your 3G connection.

U8800 users: Do you have a problem with not being able to load up widgets after a couple of reboots? I found the best way I could reproduce this program was to load a widget from an apk installed in /system/app and another widget from a program installed in /data/app and then reboot twice. I think I know what it is, but I'd like to see if the problem is in the U8800 version of the firmware too so that I can do a better cross-comparison.

Ah, your firmware is B866 while I have B865 - I assume that they fixed the bug :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] selson:
After installing the CM7 GAPPS it worked, but everytime i pressed the search key the screen locked... Now i am already back on official 2.3.5.

Thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] VuDuCuRSe:
Yes, that's clearly a feature which I don't like. It's not that I use the search button a lot, but I don't like having the screen locked whenever I accidentally touch it.

The other thing is the separation of the contacts with and without the number's international prefix. Even using Handcent, I have separated threads for sms/mms that I sent using the contact from my list without the international prefix and for the ones I received without the prefix.

Besides that, no reboots, no screen freezes, nothing... so far this ROM seems great.

---------- Post added at 03:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 PM ----------

Yes, that also happened with stock 2.3.5. The SD cards seems to have mounting issues and every time that happens, I must manually re-add them all.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] qwerty12:
Actually, since I'm in the process of making this ROM work with my U8800Pro, I think I noticed what's causing that to happen:

In /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl, change:

key 217 [COLOR="Red"]SEARCH[/COLOR] WAKE_DROPPED

to

key 217 [COLOR="Red"]POWER[/COLOR] WAKE_DROPPED

Regarding widgets: Thanks for the confirmation. You're correct, but with 2.3.5, I've been able to survive reboots with the widgets still working, SD card inserted or not. I believe it's do with the fact that PackageManager in B865 isn't told to unpack APKs on boot when required, whereas in 2.3.5 it does. I'm trying out the framework files from your ROM now, so hopefully that will work better.

(Oh, Huawei added DLNA functionality to the Honor but the apk was removed by the port maintainer for the U8800... genokolar's U8800Pro port has the APK)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] VuDuCuRSe:
Thank you very, very, very much for the search hack!!

But another thing, is there a Chinese friend there that could hint us on how to change the Root Explorer that comes with this ROM to English? Something like this: http://blufiles.storage.live.com/y1...4aXG54htCaOBIXD8/u8800pro-Change-language.jpg

Yes, one might simply remove that and install another one, but since it's already there, why bother?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] yannn007:

No, you need to add back the lines that are showing as deleted (look for lines with a "-" at the beginning of them).

the solution is to add the prefix for your country. For example: my number is 123 456 789. I have to change it to +386 23 456 789. You need to change the prefix to the one for your country (for Slovenia it is +386 - dont know for others)
