I think that mrasquinho covered this one pretty well, but...repetitio mater studiorum est...

1. If you install the ROM for the first time, always install the latest version (I've even marked it with the red text stating "LATEST") That one usually doesn't need any updates UNLESS I state otherwise.

2. no OTA updates for this ROM...but usually you can just update the ROM by installing the new over the old one without doing the full wipe.

3. you can check from miuiandroid.com what's the latest version. If I've uploaded the same version here, the answer is yes, kind of...It's not exactly the same since I've made this version multilingual (it's a bit bigger, probably buggier, hopefully not that much slower!) :)

4. there are some...it's far from perfect, lingual errors I can fix if you spot them for me, kernel stuff I can't (I just don't know how! :P ) It's all there on the front page....And it's not even "that" confusing if you read it carefully....or once you get the hang of it...

Good luck! :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
That's what I wanted to say. But I understood that he meant if it is possible to update without the wipes...

My bad :D

---------- Post added at 12:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 AM ----------

Yep, genokolar's kernel is working flawlessly for me. I can't say the same about the elite's one... It makes the phone slow, drains more battery (I could noticed that. In 10 minutes of wifi, it dropped 20% battery), 2 or 3 random reboots and sleep+wifi reboot (the reboots occurred when I tried to unlock the device).

So I think genekolar's one is the ONE :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
For this ROM... :D It doesn't have all (if they have changed... :D) new libs from the latest Elite ROM, so maybe the kernel doesn't perform at its best either... :)

Hi all,

After installing this I have a problem with my screen, can't press "q" or "1" in the keyboard for exemple. Does anyone ha this problem?

Thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Mine works OK. What UI language do you use? And does it happen with both, vertical and horizontal keyboards?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
It seems a problem related to your touchscreen, maybe a hardware problem...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] skitch20:
Damn, wiped everything and reinstalled, still nothing...

Restored an ICS backup, the same...

I think the left edge of the screen just died :(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
It does sound like a hw-related problem...just install the original ROM and let the guarantee cover the rest. :)

["New" .32 version added (2.3.16). Built on MiuiPT (framework-res.apk and apps patched). It has same

as the .35 multilingual version. Do not try .35 kernels with this ROM. Also keep in mind that this is .32 based ROM, so you cannot install it over .35 Miui (you have to downgrade to .32 ROM first)!]

I think that someone already mentioned that and apparently the reason for that is the track skipping via long volume press....You can't have it all I guess. :o

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Hehe, nope, I did not since there isn't one for it, I guess. I'm not a software engineer, so I have no clue how to fix it, let alone I don't even have an Atmel touchscreen. That being said, I'd still be happy to implement a fix for it if someone finds/makes one first. :)

I was using for a couple of days the latest 2.3.5 official because of the atmel fix. The fix really works, and it's an HUGE difference...

However, I can't live anymore without MIUI... I prefer to have problems with the touchscreen but have MIUI running...

PLEASE developers - look at our prays, work on atmel fix for MIUI :D

One question, does it have that fantastic lockscreen pre-installed?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
I know the feeling. I keep coming back to Miui...everytime! :D

And nope, but I can post you a download link for it. It's easy to install.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
Well, in the PT website they announced that the 2.3.23 will be released later than usual, because they are working on some specific PT port bugs and they're updating some translations ...

Maybe later, sbasil, when they release it, could you make a updating package for PT users?

Regards
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
I suppose I could do that...Would you prefer a ML version that has updated PT files or a separate Miui PT port? I'll probably make .32 version later anyways, since people still seem to drool for it. :P
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
You could make a ML version (with the updated PT files)... Because it's easier and doesn't creates confusion in topic, I think :p

I would prefer the .32 version, but unfortunately I can't install custom roms .32 based (yes, i'm not a noob and I made downgrades, etc...) :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Easier? :P I don't think so...That way I have to decompile, copy paste files manually and recompile all apks (well maybe not all...) :P But I would probably do it anyways, so no worries...One version is easier for people to comprehend. :)

edit: I might even throw in that V4 lockscreen again in R2. Forgot it from R1.

edit: R1A version uploaded which has V4 lockscreen preinstalled.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
I was talking about easier for people to comprehend, but hey... Make it easier for you! :D

edit: Hell yeah, thanks!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
R2 version is available for download. Still no updated PT files (there's no new ROM from MiuiPT yet), but I added Bravia engine to it. Not sure if it's placebo or not, but I think it made pictures a bit clearer & sharper.

If you already have R1 or R1A, you can just download separate patch and run it in CWM.

edit: R3 version added ( = minor Portuguese fixes). Also .32 version added. I do hope these are the last two ROM updates for this week (there probably won't be too many GB updates in the future since the focus has clearly moved to MIUI V4's direction).

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Are you using mobile data or Wi-Fi? For me they both work just fine. For mobile data some of us have to turn the data roaming on...For example, in Finland Saunalahti uses Elisa's networks and with .35 ROMs I got to keep the roaming on when I use mobile data.

Really can't help you much more. A clean install maybe. That's usually the easiest way to fix problems (at least for me).

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] xpandnz:
I was using this but went back to elite since this MIUI had the same problem as ret4rts one. I imagine its to do with the kernel.

The Volume+ app only causes the music to distort at higher levels than actually make it louder. This does not happen using the official GB with the OC kernel. I can get it sounding lovely and loud with no distortion unless I actually fully push the volume. I get it set to +8 and its perfect. On MIUI its rubbish. I need to confirm the existence of this with the Elite too.

Also, MIUI was beginning to slow heaps like the old .32 kernel version from about November last year.

I'm sure the volume thing would be easy to fix since it does not happen with the OC kernel for the official GB, the one that Genkolar did.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
I agree with the volume+ app...It doesn't do much, if any, good, but then again, I find the current volume setting/quality pretty good (more than adequate) without an additional software. It won't get much better using the phone's small speaker, no matter what 'cause the speaker pretty much as anti-hifi as they get. :)

Btw, this ROM is using geno's latest .35 kernel, not to be confused with ret4rts ROM which had the older one.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] xpandnz:
Sorry, forgot to mention it's with headphones thus happens. Currently elite ROM is loud without that distortion.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Ahhh...okay...with volume+ or without? I couldn't notice any distortion in sound, but I'm not using volume+ (or the phone's own headphones for that matter).

edit: I think that I got it now...haha....If I pump up the volume to the max and adjust volume+'s volume boost to +4, it starts to distort the sound...I think that Beats audio fixed this problem (by lowering the volume...probably....and not really a problem to me, I would never listen anything that loud anyways...But I might look into it just for fun) :)

edit 2: the overall sound quality might be a tad better in Elite ROM...just installed it...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] xpandnz:
Yeah, with volume+. I got nice headphones that sound great but the stock max volume is not that loud. If I were to guess, some how the effects of volume + are getting limited by the kernel, in a sense, it's not actually lifting the max volume, it's distorting because somehow the kernel is just limiting the volume still. Kinda like how guitar distortion works. As I mentioned, the elite ROM kernel is sounding perfect just like the oc gb one. And that ret4rt had this exact same issue with his miui port.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Yap, I'll look into it...Gotta update some libs with Elite ROMs equivalents...for starters...or something....we'll see. :)

edit: I guess it was the kernel after all...Not that there was anything wrong with geno's kernel, but with Elite's the sound quality is a tad better..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] xpandnz:
Sweet! If you can fix this then thats awesome.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
I'm not touching the kernel but I guess I could use Elite's ROM as a base and try to put something together...Blahhhhh.... :rolleyes:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Uploading R4 soon. Audio sounds better now (Elite ROMs kernel etc.), WLAN speed improved ALOT (for me anyways...roughly about 6 times faster now with my current router, no more drastic speed drops etc...)...All in all it feels a bit faster & better, I think & hope. Unless it turns out to be a battery killer... :p

edit: and get Volume+ from the market...doesn't cost much ( ~1 eur) but adds a nice clarity to the sound. :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] xpandnz:
Cool mate. Ill test later. This week I need a stable ROM since I'll be needing my phone a lot.

Will you link the new rom on first page?

Sorry sbasil, this weekend I was a little away from the forum...

Well, I've found a glitch on the lockscreen (the one you have pre-installed).

Dunno if it happens only in PT language or in other languages too. When my battery is 15% or less, the red text "please charge", or something, appears in chinese. And I think i've found other 2 or 3 strings on the lockscreen in chinese too... Could you please look at that?

Thanks and best regards
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] xpandnz:
I'm testing R4. Working well. Wifi seemed to be intermittent last night, fine now. Will test audio later.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
Huge, huge battery drain (the new R4).

Today the phone didn't last all day! I took it of from charger at 11h AM, and at 23h PM it died. I used it only a few times, a couple of SMS, turned on the WI-FI a couple of minutes... very strange...

I'll use it for another day just to test it again.

BTW - it's all working flawlessly, very fast and stable WI-FI, perfect incall sound (it doesn't have anymore the excess of bass sounds on loudspeaker), perfect music sound, etc.etc... But the battery is blah... :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pohan2:
Yeah, the batt. capacity is really BAD!!! With the official GB my phone was able to last over 3 days! With using GPS, data etc. and now? Not even all day. :mad:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Yap, don't install the new R4....It clearly has some serious battery issues...Use R3 instead while I'm trying to find and fix the problem. :eek:

It sounds a bit like Huawei's phones have battery quality problems. Mine has NEVER lasted even two days, no matter which ROM I've had (without even using the phone), but ZTE seems to go on forever like the Duracell rabbit. :o
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pohan2:
Yeah, that's possible. But as I wrote. With the official GB of Huawei the batt. capacity was great. And I have a record 4 days in row :D And I was surprised with that, because It is not usual. I like your rom, everything seems great but the battery capacity is awful. Later I'll try the R3.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Did you change the governor btw? By default it's smartass, change it to ondemand and see if it makes any difference (x5 settings - Cpu frequency and governor).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pohan2:
No, I didn't... so I'll try it. Thanks for help, if It's better, I'll let you know :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Ok, thanks....Did you calibrate the battery after installing new ROM? That might also help...I think that changing the governor made some difference (I changed mine last night and battery went down from 90 to 58% in 10 hours). With smartass it went down from 95 to 15 in just a few hours...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
I see what I can do when I have time. :) Try changing the governor for the battery problem (to on demand or....)...I don't know it that's really it but give it a try.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pohan2:
Yes, I did. But It didn't help so much. Before your rom I tried the Elite ROM X1 and It has the same issues with the battery. Maybe Just Elite ver. has These issues. And I see, you used in your newest rom something from Elite rom.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Yap, R4 is Elite based, R3 not so much (different kernel etc.).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
Nop, my drain occurred with ondemand governor... I don't like Smartass, so the first thing I do before install a custom rom is change the governor :p
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] igortski:
I changed governor to on demand but this ROM still uses battery very fast. Seemed to be better with WI-FI turned off.

EDIT: I'm sure it's to do with WI-FI. With it turned on phone gets quite warm but with WI-FI turned off phone is normal temp. Also, battery stays the same level for quite a while.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Ahhh...OK, good to know. :) My advice is to revert back to R3 or last week's ROM until (if) I get the R4's problems fixed. If it's in kernel, there's only so much I can do (read:nothing).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
Agree. If wifi it's on it drains the battery very quickly. Right now I have 98% (i disconnected from charger 2 hours ago).

I haven't tried today yet, but I think that when I'll turn on the wifi the battery will drain very fast! I think it's something related to the kernel!

---------- Post added at 11:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 AM ----------

It's ok... I'll use R4 because of the wifi corrections... Sometimes I let the phone all night downloading stuff, so I don't want drops :p

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pohan2:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:

If you have R4 or R4b installed, just apply the patch from CWM....no need to do clean install! The patch just replaces a few files, that's all.
