This rom is based on the official firmware B540, so android's version is 2.3.5. This is a rooted version of the B512 fw with many tweaks and improvements.

To install this rom you firstly need to upgrade to the official 2.3.5 fw (be careful: update to B512, not to B540). Then you need root permissions and the CWM recovery.

These are the links where you can find the HOW-TOs:

Hi,

thank you for this work!

Anyway I have to ask you something about your custom rom.

Does your Rom have the quick settings widget in the status bar?

Did you fix the accelerometer problem? For example if you try to move on the street view (of Google Maps) with the compass mode, you understand that the accelerometer has a problem.

Can you explain what problems you solved from the stock 512 Gingerbread 2.3.5 rom from Huawei?

Thank you in advance,

regards,

kalo
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zsmonkey:
congratulations.

are you built it from source code?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] matteof93:
the rom doesn't have the quick setting widget...but the current release is only the aplha0.

i have just tried with an app called "accelerometer test" if the accelerometer works but seems that it doesn't.

from stock B512 i have not solved any problem because, using it for a month, i have not found any kind of problem. mainly i have edited the build.prop and i have added some scripts to improve performance.

no, i have simply extract the system.img using dsixda kitchen and i have merged it with the boot.img which i obtained through the pink screen.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Propably,i cannot flash it over rooted 2.2.2 stock rom.......

Maybe i have to upgrade first to flash this.....am i right or wrong???

Edit: btw,congrats for your first rom here,,and i hope to see more...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] matteof93:
yes, you must upgrade to official 2.3.5 (B512) because basebands are different.

ps: this is not my 1st rom, i made 2 roms for O1
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
I know well your work,cause i own an O1 p500,,,,,but i don't use anyone cause i didn't wanted to change baseband with lgtool and i stay with mik's rom....and btw for O1 there are plenty of good roms to use.......

PS...i made a lot of changes on 3 weeks which i own u8800 pro and i made a really fast and fully functional stock rom 2.2.2,,,,i delete about 14 system apps ,edited build.prop,created init.d folder,some other modds and a little theming,,,,and i like it very much ........maybe i create a thread and a video to saw people how good stock rom can be made......

As you understand it's very difficult for me to change baseband,as i still couldn't found a way to downgrade again if i don't like the new baseband.......and i want to have my fm radio not loose it.....

Someone must cook a rom for .32 kernel(old baseband)

i try to port yr rom to my device, in huawei family, its a u9000 ideos x6, but i stuck at android green fire animation, i use .35 kernel. should i format a system? worry to do that, if i not mistaken, system will be formatted automatically when we flash new custom rom, bcoz we gv that command in updater script. what else modification should i do?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] matteof93:
use libril-qc1.so from your stockrom
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zukriaksah:
u mean ril file can effect the booting process?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] matteof93:
yes, because librilqc-1.so links the kernel to the hardware

Any help ............
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] matteof93:
you need the boot.img from your phone (get it using the pink screen mode) and the stock update.app (the bigger one).

then extract the update.appusing dsixda kitchen, copy the system.img from working folder to original update and cook your rom.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
I took boot.img from cust_backup folder using root explorer,,,it's not the same thing?? do i have to take it from pink screen??

Anyway,i'll try pink screen mode,hoping to found the "update.app ",,because i think i don't have it (you know that i don't ever use pink screen yet,,,,,all modds i made,did it with root explorer)

Thanks a lot for replying
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] matteof93:
get it from cust backup is correct.

Then you can get the update.app from a stock firmware

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] qwerty12:
Hi matteof93,

If I may ask: How did you extract update.app? I tried to use dsixda kitchen (git HEAD) on the B540 UPDATE.APP but ZeBadger's script failed.

Some suggestions, if I may:

Rather than putting stuff into /data, use the /cust partition. If a person uses CWM to do a factory reset, they'll lose your bootanimation and included applications

Additionally, if you use cust, you have greater control: You can enable WPS ability by editing hw_defaults.xml and its local.prop has precedence over build.prop

95zipalign is broken: it wants to run zipalign but there is no zipalign binary installed

The above is not criticism - by enabling WPS, for one, you've already done (with the exception of the U8860 firmware port) what other firmwares haven't. Also, after fixing an annoying widget problem, I plan on releasing a ROM so I'd love suggestions on what I can do better from you!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
That's the problem ,,i don't have the update app folder ,,i can't find the stock 2.2.2 firmware anywhere,,,only found 2.2 stock only for U8800,,not for pro (for pro only gingerbread releases).......that's why i try to cook the rom with nandroid,,but no luck,,i do some more research on how to cook a rom from your nandroid backup....

Thanks for reply
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] matteof93:
no market FCs on my phone.

i have simply downloaded the latest version of dsixda kitchen, then i have put my update.app in original update and i have selected it using option number 1. then i have copied the system.img from working folder to original update and i have added also my boot.img

about your suggestions:

i will use the /cust partition in the stable release. i will also look for other improvements like editing the hw_defaults.xml. then i will add the zipalign binary.

try this

Thanks a lot ,,,,

I follow the same proccedure like you but with my system.img ,taken from nandroid, and added the boot.img,,,,kitchen said that's all ok,,,but the zip don't work,,,,,

Thanks again,matteo

1. can i go back to 2.2.2 or 2.3.5 (B512) ? how ?

2. if not how can i install cwm ? to flash another rom
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sofoklas:
downgrade to B512 the same way you upgraded to B540

Download B512: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21158090&postcount=5

B540 is locked and you can't have access to image folder from pink screen.

After installing B512 you can install cwm and flash COUNTACH or genos B540 which are prerooted

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Flash a rom and stop questions ..:p

For unlock fps limit, you must install busybox ( with busybox installer from market).

Then you must create an init.d folder on system/etc and add an unlock fps script.

Reboot

Done.

It's much more easier to flash a rom, i can't understand what did you afraid.

You have already a cwm backup and imei backup.

Just start flashing roms......:p

Delete the script and you'll be fine ......

There's no other script for lock fps limit.

Just delete the unlock script .

before the update i used to get up to 24 hrs of battery backup..but nw i just get max of 12 or 13 hrs....

and the phone performance is also reduced nw.... the phone works a lott slow than before...

many apps are not working... even the gmail app has stopped working.. everytym i open it, the msg comes "unfortunately gmail has stopped working"..

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el_psycho:
Do you have a lot of apps and don't wanna lose the settings?

if not or if you don't care about setting them up again why not do a factory data reset and just erase everything and start from scratch?

i would suggest a you make a backup first but you're probably not rooted and even if you do, the backup might not work since it might also back up any wrong settings or something like that (i might be wrong here)

Why not root your phone? you can always unroot and relock the bootloader if you are worried about warranty.

edit: BTW any custom ROM requires you unlock your bootloader and install ClockworkMod recovery. so you would have to do that first in order to flash the AOSP roms.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbandaly:
but what abt the battery issue...

it is the main problem of all...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el_psycho:
Have you looked at the battery usage under system settings > battery?

it likely is be a misbehaving app since you say several apps don't work correctly.

this should also go away with a flash of a ROM or doing the factory data reset.

Edit:

My wife has having similar problems after the ICS OTA update. she had a lot of apps and a bunch of widgets on the home screens, the phone was sluggish and some apps didn't work right or were FC'ing. In the end she just did a factory data reset and started from scratch and the phone is stable and feels faster and all apps are working fine now.

The cifs.ko you found on your system is likely a build for the 2.3.x Android kernel (usually 2.6.35.x).

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] mdalacu:
Hi, Samsung did not gave us SPen but i think this tablet has stylus support. I don't own it so i can not test it. Maybe you can.

Samsung Galaxy Tablet 7.7 uses this touchscreen chip: Atmel's MXT768E. I've got the info from here.

Another article about this chipset, here. It was provided by appelflap.

And if i read it correctly you can use their stylus: maXStylus.

The problem is that this stylus is not for sale right now. By reading other forums i have learned that you can use Motorola's new stilus.

Unfortunatly this stylus has a thick tip ~3mm. You can buy it from here.

I hope that someone has this stylus and test it on this tablet.

Another problem could be that you need Android 4.x in order to use the stylus. I am not sure about this.

So, please, get a compatible pen and test this theory! :)

Also you can press "Thanks".
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Interesting. We'll just have to see whether or not this feature is actually enabled on the 7.7

If it's the same technology as is present in the Note, then I can definitely confirm that it does not work. The S-pen does nothing on the 7.7
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] murmur70:
I would think that there is not an active digitizer just a capacitive screen. A capacitive stylus would work but not an active.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] mdalacu:
I think that need ICS on the tab because it has native stylus support. Honeycomb does not. On the SGN Samsung embedded the stylus support.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
I'm pretty sure there's no digitizer on the 7.7 so regardless of whether or not ICS has native support for it, if the hardware isn't there then only capacitive styluses will work with it. I mean, if there was a digitizer wouldn't Samsung advertise that as a feature?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Well, since the s-pen basically uses the necessary technology to work on the alleged hidden feature of the 7.7, and assuming that Honeycomb's lack of native support for an active digitizer is the only thing keeping the s-pen from functioning on the 7.7, then I suppose we'll all just have to wait until the 7.7 gets ICS. Maybe then we can try to see if the s-pen works with it or not. Until then, really, all we have is speculation. :p

P.S. I also have a GNote, so I volunteer to try as soon as ICS is officially available from Samsung for the 7.7 ;)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] maconsultant:
Thank you..! You just saved me some money Jade Eyed Wolf.. Why would they include the Pen Memo app..? They should have called it Finger Memo.. lol, shame.. I was hoping an S Pen would have worked..

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Yeah I hear ya! Also, in case it wasn't obvious, I tried the s-pen with my 7.7, and it does absolutely nothing... yet(?) Just FYI.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] mdalacu:
Maybe it is a different technology and indeed the SPen does not work but their stylus could work. Just read all the links that i have provided and draw the conclusion yourself. Also remember to post your thoughts.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] appelflap:
Well, maybe you're right. The keylayout directory contains a layout file with the mapping of something that looks certainly like a pen:

key 544 PEN WAKE

key 545 ERASER WAKE

key 555 SIDE_SWITCH WAKE

Edit:

Exciting. Did some additional research.

First. The maxtouch e series touch screen seems to support a passive conductive stylus of 2mm. http://www.atmel.com/microsite/maxtouch_eseries/default.asp

Second: they also seem to support another, more precise stylus. To activate that stylus only a "software update and no hardware changes" is required. http://www.electronicsweekly.com/Ar...ers-0.25mm-accuracy-from-capacitive-touch.htm

According to the same article Ice Cream Sandwich stylus support seems to be supported by the amtel chip.
