[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] birginioss:
Thanks sbasil... Im just trying to stick to a single rom without success! Cannot decide which one.... I don't even know what to cHoose between R3 and R4.. :\

Sent from my shack using mail pigeons.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Well there isn't a big difference between them anymore. Before the R4 drained your battery but had better sound....Now that the drain issue is fixed (hopefully)...Now it's kind of like apples and oranges. :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] igortski:
So is this the updated ROM or just the link to the original R4?

EDIT: Sorry, found the patch on the first page. Have applied it and it looks like it's fixed the battery drain problem.

Thanks for the quick fix.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] birginioss:
Its all about vitamins then!

Sent from my shack using mail pigeons.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Just the original one that needs to be patched (someone asked it)...I haven't had time to redo the whole "thing" yet. :)

edit: If you haven't downloaded it before and are not dying to test it, wait 'till I get the new ROM ready and uploaded.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] MtG92:
It's the original. However, original R4b + update zip = updated R4, right sbasil?

Edit: Oops...seems you already got the reply while I was typing mine. Sorry about that.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Yap, my file naming sucks *ss...hahah...Just to make it clear:

R4B does not have the latest battery fix, you have to download and install the patch separately.

edit: apparently I only managed to stop the clock, not the time! :p After a reboot battery percentage seems to be 10% lower than it was before....Hopefully it's just the patch...I'm uploading new full versions now. I strongly suggest to make a backup of your current ROM if it's working well, then do a full wipe & clean install. That's the only way for me to make any sense of possible (LIKELY) problems that occur. IF the full versions still have weird battery drain & other problems, you can tell it here but also give me a PM me to make sure that I see it.

edit: New ROMs added (R5U & R5G)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
Well, it looks like after charging to 100%, the R4 plus update.zip started to show the real battery values... But I think the draining issue over wifi is still there...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
I'm not sure but I think that it may have helped just a little for me....I guess we need either updated kernel or new WiFi firmware...or something. Go figure, I tried! :p
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
I'll test it for today, then i post my results :)

thanks, pal!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pohan2:
The update works great for me ;) I have WIFI on since yesterday's night and the draining is on normal level (by my opinion). Just around 10% dropped over night (12hrs) :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dream4:
@sbasil,i tried your rom,looks like excellent,but i have an issue.i installed it on b526.When i scroll up-down,the screen is like a bit waving,i mean the lines are not symetrically moving compared to official rom.hope this is clear?what can cause this bug?is there a bulid.prop line to add or something else?

thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
Well, I think its all working now... I'm using r4 plus update. Wifi its draining normally the battery and the percentage is not freezing.

I think its very good for now. Thanks, sbasil
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
You probably mean the screen tearing when you're scrolling a webpage or something like that? I'll look into it...again. :p
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Lets hope so. Although usually the problems strike back when you least expect... :p Not trying to jinx it, just saying.... :p
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dream4:
this is not a kind of 'jumping';or moving too fast.This was happening when 3d drivers added any kind of rom,if there was not a 3d driver,everything was fine.Maybe 'tearing'is what i mean to say,not sure though.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
It could be because vsync is off..With computers the symptoms are the same.Turn it on and see what happens.

\system\etc\enhanced.conf --> vsync = on

edit: I tried it and I think it works...Beware that it will probably lower your Antutu score when the vsync if on. :p
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dream4:
God damn the antutu score !!! you are a genius man,it worked:)God bless you..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
You're welcome :) ...I think that I'm going to set vsync=on as default for the next update/release. It might even give us more battery life when it's on.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Updated versions available for download. Vsync is enabled by default & default governor is set to ondemand. R5G version seems to work really well now. Don't know about R5U 'cause I have only one U8800, but user feedback is always appreciated. :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
Well man, listen - I'm using R4 plus update. Forget what I said at morning. The rom is perfect, the combination U kernel plus new wlan firmware is marvelous! Wifi doesn't draing battery!! I have the wifi on since 18:40 (downloading the R5 versionS) and it only drained 4% :D

So my advice for all you users - use U kernel. In that case, use R5U version. It's perfect!

Second advice - use allways ondemand governor. Smartass V2 is a mix between ondemand and interactive. It's a crap.

Oh, and use noop scheduler too.

Thanks for your fantastic job, sbasil. One question - does R5U have some big updates than vsync? Because I have ON on vsync already...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Nah, don't fix it if it ain't broken! :) No major changes there (other than the things I mentioned in the first post), so no need for you to install it since you've already updated yours up to date.

edit: and thanks for dream4 for reminding me about the tearing "bug"....I was too lazy to look into it until someone reminded of its existence. I really like my ROM with the FPS cap on (vsync). :)

edit 2: I t's fairly easy and effortless to update from one ROM to another (R5G --> R5U --> R5G)...Just format cache & dalvik and install ROM...No need to do a full wipe... Just in case you wanna try. :) Both versions seem to work pretty well for now.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] trocLas:
I have two problems:

- After a clean install of this ROM (the last version, with U kernel) over Aurora ICS, I restored my apps with TB and rebooted the phone. When I turn the phone on, after 4/5 seconds after enter my PIN code, it starts to reboot (goes to bootscreen animation).

- I can only save my APN's if I remove the PIN code from my PIN card. If the PIN code is enabled, I try to configure the APN and save and I can't :|
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Aurora uses ext4 filesystem (this one ext3), so the backup problems might have something to do with that (I think that I read that before somewhere)...So I guess you'll have to re-install your programs manually, unless somebody knows a better solution.

As for the latter problem, I can't even remove the PIN code request let alone change it. Maybe somebody else could comment on this one. :)

edit: Well I removed it with another phone...No more stupid SIM network unlock pin requests either...I guess I should add that to the bug-list...I can add the PIN code request with u8800 but cannot remove it... :rolleyes:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] trocLas:
I think maybe it is something related to Superuser. I only have this problem with Elite/MIUI roms. I believe that after restoring the app's, maybe the Superuser does not concede Root access to the apps that need it and the phone reboots.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Could be...I have no experience of TB or other backup programs...I just usually reinstall everything through WLAN... :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
Hurray!!! Remember the bugs i've found on the other day, but I can't remember?

This was one of them :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] trocLas:
Which one?

The second I refered (the PIN Code bug) affects all .35 kernel ROMS I've tried, except Aurora ICS. Don't know why..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
The pin-code bug :p

sbasil, i think i'll move to R5G rom right now.

After some time powered on, the phone freezes the battery percentage foi like an hour, and then it decreases the power it consumed (can be just 1% or 10%, it depends of usage...). It haven't battery drain issues, it's all ok, but this thing is annoying, I can't know if I have to charge it or not...

BTW, does this R5G have the bravia engine, and the new wlan drivers, etc etc...? It's the same as R4 but with geno's kernel?

EDIT: I installed R5U first just to check, and now the percentage seems to decrease properly... I hope it continues that way!! :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] trocLas:
Well, I think i solved the first problem. Rebooted into recovery, fix permissions, wipe cache & dalvik, fix permissions again and rebooted into ROM and I believe it is fine..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Yeah, I added bravia engine to it, WLAN should also work (but just in case I would set the WiFi never to sleep...just turn it off when you don't need it)...

It's not Elite ROM based and uses different kernel, so no it's not exactly the same as the other ROM...but close. :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] inculto:
with 1 hour of use i can say that the only bug that i noticed is volume rocker awake doesnt seem to work and i need it :(

restored my apps with titanium and cpu spy is telling me that my phone 71% of the time in deep sleep and 18% at minimum clock with wifi turned on so i think we dont have battery drain in excessive mode :D

great work sbasil
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Poor man! :p Here's a fix for you but bear in mind that it will disable the track skipping via volume keys when screen is off.

Just install this in CWM http://www.mediafire.com/?zf04lze9h0hkgwr

and volume rocker wake should work again (if you enable it from Miui)

And if you want to go back to skipping tracks via volume keys, here's patch for it (this will AGAIN disable the volume rocker wake....it's one or another, not both)

http://www.mediafire.com/?9oj0cvb4goyty2o

edit: no more patches, fixes...nothing, nichts, ei mitään, nada for tonight....Gotta get up again in less than 4 hours. :p
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] inculto:
thanks it worked i prefer the wake up function cause the power button is a bit crappy and the music i listen is with shuflle function :D

and even so im using that function for a long time that now i would miss it =)

talking about battery drain i just realized that my phone is very lazy... everytime he figures that im not with it he takes a deepsleep :D

thanks again sbasil
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Bruno Soares:
Good job sbasil.

Let us add two link's so each user can choose what you prefer.

For my part I thank Skip track volume via press

Thank you.

EDIT:

What have you done to this latest version?!?! R5U :D

Is it just me or are the images with more color?!?!

Very good, indeed.

You are amazing, congratulations for your work sbasil.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Why thank you! :) And it's the Bravia engine that is making your pictures to look better...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Gefjon:
Wow! What a great ROM! I just returned to MIUI after trying Aurora for a while, and I'm impressed.

I'm trying to get the battery indicator as a top bar, but it doesn't show when I select it from the menu. Is it a bug, or is there a setting somewhere that I haven't found yet?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
I guess you could call it a small bug, but it is easy to fix. Just go to "MIUI Control Panel" --> statusbar options --> battery options --> show battery -> off --> back on....For me that did the trick and the top bar battery indicator appeared.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Bruno Soares:
If sbasil said that does not work, reboot into recovery and do permitions fix ...

MIUI me the Control Panel was not working well, after you fix permitions was good again. ;)

Sorry my bad writing ...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cayar:
@sbasil

Direction sensors, detects slow. Is there any way to fix this problem?

Official ROMs and CM7 do not have this problem, it works fine.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Which one of the two (.35 ROMs I suppose) are you using? I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary with R5G version.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Here's yet another small WiFi patch...I changed the following line gEnableSuspend=3 to gEnableSuspend=2 from qcom_cfg.ini (enable deep sleep) and haven't had one single reboot even if "WiFi sleepi policy" is set to "when screen is turned off"

I do hope it still stays that way after I send this post :p

download: http://www.mediafire.com/?i6mnc7ymksccomv

edit: I tried this with R5G (my personal favourite of these two), but it should work with the R5U, too.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Here's a fixed boot.img that fixes lag on pressing both volume keys. More information HERE

Thanks to PaulMilbank who made it :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] trocLas:
Sorry to ask, but what are the major differences between the kernel from R5G and R5U?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
It's just not the kernel. One is based on ret4rt's original ROM, the other on Elite ROM. There are some minor differences between lib files etc....

R5U supposedly had better sound and Bravia engine. I added the Bravia engine to R5G too, so on that part they're equal.

I can't hear big difference in sound. Both sound ok to me...It's apples & oranges now....

If I were planning to install a new ROM, I'd go with R5G...and next week there will be only one release (with geno's kernel). It's a bit arduous keep up with two.... :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dream4:
Hi sbasil,

After vysnc on adjustment,everything seems so nice.Just noticed volume rocker wake sometimes run and sometimes not,sometimes i should press 5-6 sec.on the button to wake the screen.

I saw your patch(4 way reboot) about it and tried,but it says on cwm 'installation aborted' (status 7) mistake?

I really need this volume rocker wake man,what should i do?

Thanks.

---------- Post added at 04:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 AM ----------

i thank you too,cause i mentioned my problem and disappointment about the screen tearing to some stupid rom compliers,they told ''try establish rom to b518 instead of b526''.some said,''do full wipes''(what a tradition!!)only you got the problem and solved it man,really thank you,i like my screen quailty now:)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Mount the system folder in CWM before you apply the patch. :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dream4:
it worked like your other advices as usual:)

thank you!!!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
"New" version available for download (R6G). It's for those who are planning to do a clean install ["updated" WiFi firmware & boot.img preinstalled].
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] inculto:
no enable wolume rock wake up is still need to install the other update from 4 way reboot?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] trocLas:
sbasil, I have R5G. When you say "It's for those who are planning to do a clean install", that means that I don't need to update? Sorry, I did not understand.

BTW, great ROM, extremely fluid :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
There's really no need to for you to do that. It's just more up to date version. All the updates it has are also available in separate update packs here.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
If you install R6G and want the volume rocker wake up to work, you have to install the patch I provided here earlier. I personally prefer skipping tracks via long volume press to volume rocker wake up and it's one or another (still), not both.

edit: and there's is no need for R5G owners to install R6G...You can install the updates I provided before.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] inculto:
thks but i still prefer volume rocker wake up :P

and i got version r5u and i will try this one just to try lol version geno seems to be working fine i will go see it and give my report =)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dream4:
Guys,what do i need exactly for speech to text action?it is not included in this great rom.is it google voice?what should i download?

Thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
Svox is the greatest one. I use it. I bought it, because I like to pay to support the developer.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Additional downloads for R6G added (should work with U version too)

Installation is now more straight forward, mounting system directory is no longer necessary, the script does it for you.

edit: and I know, the frontpage has become a mess again...the weekend is coming. :D

edit 2: the next week should be "easier" and more "update free" now that the things seem to be running better again.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] xanau:
version R6G keeps rebooting

Hi I've installed the new version R6G and and it keeps on rebooting system...

any thoughts?

I've downgraded to R5U...

thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] trocLas:
Did you wipped anything (cache, data or dalvik)? Have you restored applications using TB? I had that problem because of the Superuser. Some applications that I restored try to use Root access and that was denied and the phone rebooted.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] xanau:
I've followed all the steps, and after I've tried to use the terminal the screen went black and the reboots started after that i made a new install and it just kept on rebooting... so i downgraded...

thanks

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------

gave it another shot installed R6G again and so far no problem can't say wat went wrong the first two times I've installed it....

Thanks

Thanks mate,but let me understand everything better,although miui has pico tts,why can't i see a microphone symbol on Dolphin sonar or my tweet app.can write directly drom my speech?can svox make these possible?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
No, perhaps I understood you wrong...

Svox converts text to audio...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Well I'm going to make everybody's life miserable again...Just when you had the latest version, you don't anymore. :p R7G coming right up (uploading)! [Just kidding, kind of....I added one more language to the soup: Spanish] So that makes 13 languages now [Chinese, Czech, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Slovak, Spanish and Turkish] Download coming soon. And REALLY, if you're not planning to use Spanish, there is no reason whatsoever to update. :)

edit: And no, I did not translate it myself...I just used MIUI España's Spanish language files (Desire Z). So credits go to them!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dream4:
sbasil,did you read my post above?what is lack of in this rom about the microphone symbol on the keyboard?i mean i think i should see a mic.symbol on the keyboard and for some apps like dolphin sonar or tweetcaster,i can use my voice for text or search on the web?

btw,rom is going excellent.there is not a battery drain,think geno's kernel and your compile is excellent!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
I have to look into that...I really haven't noticed since I don't use that "thing." I'll get back to you unless someone else knows better. :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dream4:
thanks,not a major thing but i sometimes tweet with my voice:)it may be related about lack of some google apps,because there's not google maps in this rom,too.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
You can get it from google market..I'm trying to keep this ROM around 100Mb :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] birginioss:
More than 2 days with R5G and the only thing I can say is that this is the best ROM I've used since I bought this piece of crap, last May.

Its perfect. Quick. Lag-free. Smooth. Miui-beautiful.

Thanks 4 a perfect ROM. All of you.

Sent from my shack using mail pigeons.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dream4:
+1.then we will wait a miui4 from sbasil:D though i'm not sure if this device is enough for it,because both aurora and a miui4 make me feel that scroll up-downs are not smooth.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Ok....found a solution to your problem....You need Voice Search installed. Get it here http://www.mediafire.com/?r9b47dcirtt8m98

Install in CWM and you should be good to go (assuming that this is what you meant :p)

edit: and I'm not too eager to start working with V4....I just don't see a reason good enough...What I would like to see is the old Miui running somewhat error-free on our phones. :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] inculto:
If its just fpr being smoth lag free and quick u cant say this is a crap cause i have mine half an year and i can say that i got almost everytime my phone quick with miui roms. i used .32 kernels with miui and now im using .35 kernels and so far so good, despite minor bugs that occured but if i wanted stability and not to help the devs i never upgraded my phone to .35 kernels and stayed in almost perfect miui .32 kernels...

so far so good =) its nothing personal but i think this phone its everything but not a piece of crap... for the price of course...

now get to bussiness

sbasil it seems that with last genos version volume rocker wake up seems a little incompreensive some times work others not some lag when it work...

but in questions of battery life is perfect... seems to stand 2 days with some intensive work

thanks =)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dream4:
mate,check the first page and install '4way reboot' zip,volume rocker will work perfectly.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
I'm pretty sure that the "lag" you're referring to is fixed in the kernel update

This will fix lag on pressing both volume keys simultaneously (just install it in CWM if you're using R5G)

http://www.mediafire.com/?biqh8vhmcul6l6c
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dream4:
sure,this is what i have been looking for,thanks:)and i think you should insert it for future flashes because some apps use this function frequently and present it as ain innovation.check dolphin browser sonar feature,thanks a lot.

btw,i agree with you about making this a bug-free rom.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
I'll take that under consideration... :D It's also available at the Google Market (or GooglePlay..blahhh...Market was better) :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] inculto:
i already did that im using r6g and with installed the patch trough cwm but still is what happens... it works but its a bit laggy sometimes others doesnt seem to work... is anyone with same issue or maybe its something i do i dont know...

regarding that great work =) and i agree with you its better to first put this rom bug free then migrate to v4 to say the true is almost the same thing =)

thks sbasil keep the good work =)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] darkweather:
almost the only important thing for me is the battery life. so which rom should i use?

r5u or r6g?

(i use miui prime v2 with geno@geno #4 kernel and i'm not happy with the battery life. it drains in a day. at stock 2.3.5 battery used to last at least 2 days)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
R6/7/x/G ...It works pretty well (for me anyways). No battery drain, no reboots...It's not perfect but it's better (no more "U" releases or updates from me...for now). . :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] entrapmen:
Ive returned my old love to experience battery performance. Ics was draining my battery very fast. So far its a good feeling to use miui. Thanks for updating miui constantly sbasil.
