should i install all the updates in order starting with 5.0 experimental.zip or will installing update 20 after 5.0 experimental.zip work as normal?

should i also wipe anything after 5.0 experimental.zip?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gegkikas:
Yep! Just install up20 after experimental. You don't have to wipe anything, maybe just cache and dalvic.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] riDDimann:
Btw. did you ever look at the logcat output of Aurora? There's a lot of messages blasting through, some 10-20 or so per second. Every change in signal strength, brightness sensor, Wifi connectivity etc. is logged.

Seeing as development on this ROM has seized, could we disable debug mode? Producing this many messages does create extra load on the CPU, reducing battery life. Is there a way to turn this off via some config file or does one need to recompile the kernel?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rqmok:
Actually, I don't think that can be changed. I compared my cm10 with this and it gives the same amount of log messages.

Hi to all!

My phone with v5.0-upd 20 after a while became very very laggy.. I'm having forced closes to a lot of apps.. Sometimes I can't make a call, I have to wait 1 min or more until make the call, in incoming calls i can't see who is calling (it's shows me only the number and after I'm answering it's shows me the caller :P) and more....

So,what can i do?? wipe,reset etc?? Other solution??

Also, is there a tutorial for downgrade to the official rom??

Thanks

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Mahdial:
I have some problems with this ROM and they aren't fixed in AuroraSP:

1. Sometimes screen will blinking but it can be fixed temporary by turning screen off/on.

2. If airplane mode is checked during charging it will stop charging.(edit: it seems I can't charge my phone at all when airplane mode is checked)

3. Sometimes after rebooting the phone musics on internal SD will be repeated in playlist twice or three times.

If any problems above is fixable then please tell me because they are very annoying specially the last two issues.

Thanks for any help.

How do I remove apps from 5u20? I want to remove for example Youtube app,Google Talk app and Pinyin and Japanese keyboards.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] JoseRebelo:
You can use Titanium Backup to uninstall them. Or you can delete them directly in the zip, in /system/app using WinRAR or some similar application.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
You need a file manager with root functions. Then you must go to /system/app, and delete the apps you don't want. Also there are some uninstall programs which support system apps uninstall.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
How does that make a difference? Reboot recovery just reboots your phone... back into recovery. It doesn't re-flash the recovery or anything else. Sounds like voodoo to me. Maybe it works, but if it does I really want someone to explain why!

PS I'm not doubting, I just really want an explaination!

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dream4:
Jeremy,trocalas's offer works on cwm while you are flashing rom.It happens on cwm 5.0.2.7.Geno says it's related to gb's.But,i was not expecting aurora can't see my sd card when i reboot the phone.My sd card is not mounting.Can it be still related to cwm 5.0.2.7?i mean should i change my cwm version?

I wiped cache and dalvik it mounted my sd card,but i know that if i reboot phone again,it will not mount it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
Aha, I've seen this before in something.. early versions of geno's CM7 .35 port I think.

The dalvik heap cache becomes corrupt (the daemon may be crashing on shutdown?) so you can just clear dalvik and it should come back.

Unfortunately, clearing dalvik means the next boot is very long.

If it happens every time consistently, try this: pull battery, instead of a tidy "shutdown". If it is crashing on shutdown, then it should not get corrupted if power simply disappears.

I still don't see that "reboot recovery" in CWM should have any effect, but i'd love to have someone prove me wrong - after all, a reboot to recovery/reboot recovery/reboot phone is probably quicker than rebuilding the dalvik every damn time!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dream4:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Barleyman:
Well "roaming".. There's "universal" fix for mobile virtual network operators which basically makes android consider carrier "not roaming" as long as the national code matches. I tried it a bit with the "official" GB but didn't have good results. Then again official GB does not give good results no matter what so maybe I should give it another look. In any case since some countries allow roaming in national networks (USA?) it might not be a good idea to circumvent operator checking entirely. Perhaps best solution would be to apply that MVNO fix on known safe countries only (UK, Portugal, Finland?)

I wonder how the saunalahti RIL file actually does it's stuff WRT recognizing saunalahti does not really "roam" on Elisa network. Apparently it's hardcoded and not contained in any conf file.

3. UI is smooth and looks awesome

4. Songs are playing sequencially(one after another)

1. Low battery backup

Wi-Fi data not working

As in my last post, Wi-Fi is not working.

It connects fine, but I am unable to browse the internet properly or download apps from the market.

I can load the Google web page but when I try keep surfing it looses the connection.

The market does not load at all.

I have re-flashed the 2.3 rom, and updated to 1.8 with full wipe of data / dalvic cache. Still, Wi-Fi is unusable. Can anyone confirm this error?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Barleyman:
Yup. And if you fill in the correct values, the APN still does not show up.

For reference the correct APN for saunalahti is

Name:Saunalahti

APN:internet.saunalahti

MMC:244

MNC:21

and it operates on Elisa network which has

MMC:224

MNC:05

Wiki says "21 or 05" but elisa web page says it's 05 so let's work with that..

thousands of Chinese users' first thing in the morning(beijing time) is open the browser and check for your newer release then flash it :D

Yes, now the GPS locks very fast here too, but I think what was modified in gps.conf was the accuracy needed to obtain a fix. When you had like 3 or 4 satellites with an older version, you didn't have a fix. You do now, but with an accuracy like 500 feet for example. Of couse this will get more and more accurate.

I think it will make no big difference, but I'll do a quick test later.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] FUSiON2992:
I don't know what you mean for sure, but the zoom at the webpages focuses very slowly, scrolling isn't very smooth and it takes some time to rest of the page appear (when you had zoom in some part).

This happens to me with the stock browser, chrome, and dolphin. I didn't test other browsers but it's probably the same.

As requested this is my modified version. Flash as usual with cache/dalvik wipes only.

Extra features:

- Apex launcher (the best in my opinion), Nova launcher included. (If you don't want any of them, just delete them from the /system/app/ folder of this .zip before flashing)

- Wake with volume keys BY DEFAULT

- Fix model,brand of the build.prop file

- Video recording fix for the 1.8 release, provided by dzo included (see here)

All the rest are the same as the dzo's 1.8 release. Credits to him and his great efford.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22820837&postcount=894

hmarques, the compatibility with the android market apps is not only a build.prop issue. It depends also to your country and carrier. I could download chrome beta to my phone with the wrong build.prop values of model/brand with T-mobile UK.

You can try "Market Unlocker" for market 3.4.4 to fool the market that you are to another country/carrier. See this link:
