Thanks for the sugestion m8.

Tried it. No result. Mine seem to be as bright as the screen but at max screen lighting they are still almost off.

It's not a big deal to me since this rom is almost perfect.

Thanks again to dzo for all his hard work and hope you keep improving it.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] faekplastik3s:
Yes. Day and night. It doesn't seem to work for everyone, so chances are it never worked on your device.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Yes, it worked, I got around 52-54 fps in aurora v4 and now i have 45-47 fps in v5 (tested using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fps&hl=en)

The difference on the UI is definately not that noticeable. 5 to 8 fps more simply don't impact the user experience in any way. Again, dumping v5 altogether because of 8fps is just crazy.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] faekplastik3s:
I am locked at 44 right now, and could usually get up to 55 easily, 53 minimum. The difference was noticeable to me and not only was everything smoother, it seemed more responsive. I can immediately tell the difference (for example, in the grid transition in the stock launcher), so much so that once the script was accidentally disabled and I could feel the difference right away. Never had any issues on v4 and thus v5 didn't really fix anything for me, and added this restriction, so I think I might go back. Maybe dzo will decide to use the old display libs or something and someday we will have this hack back in. I'm still giving 5.0 a spin and can see it has a more solid kernel, but then again I was pretty content with 4.0.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Don't you feel the much better camera, the lpa audio, the fixed voice search, the almost doubling of wifi speeds, all of that trump a few fps? You should try recording a video in action scene at daytime, that alone will make you don't want to come back ever :D

Anyway, to each his own. I had no problems in v4, but v5 is just... better, it feels better also. And it's still being updated, v4 won't be, so there's that.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] hung.ngomanh:
Dzo, just tell you my Apex launcher sometimes break the font, i must restart the launcher to fix the issue. (aurora v5 up15)

camera in update 15 is terrible. i can take a photo until i change any setting. then camera starts crashing and only reboot helps. quality of daylight picture is disgusting. maybe it was the same before update 15, but i didnt try to take a lot of shots. anyone can confirm difference in camera between update 15 and those below?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] hung.ngomanh:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] tyngteck:
i have same problems, since 5.0 experimental. from 100% to 80% in 1 minutes, always.

at first it makes me think that 5.0 is battery drainer, but after few days just realise it just the indicator goes wrong.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] nagato.fm:
Internet speeds are the same for me on v4 and v5. v5 camera is really, REALLY bad on my device: everything is either blurred or grained (edges are very sharp, a lot of noise on photos especially on those that taken in twilight). Also I noticed no changes in sound quality in v5 and I don't use voice search because it works bad with russian (a lot of mistakes, it's easier to search it manually).

Also I have to set my cpu frequencies to 768/1400 on v5 to make it lag less, when v4 works 368/1024 and I get almost no lags at all.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] hung.ngomanh:
oh damn, it make me just believe my battery has gone, now i understood, hummm.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
The battery level sensor in the u8800's is pretty crap, it uses battery temperature to assist.

The indicator is almost never accurate and will fluctuate depending on what you are doing - you will notice that if you play a game, battery goes down to (e.g.) 20%, stop playing and put the phone down and battery goes back up to (e.g.) 45% - due to the temperature detection.

It really has nothing to do with the ROM, although I think the different kernels deal with the battery in different ways.

If you think the battery is damaged, it probably is - I replaced mine and it made a big difference.

wpa_supplicant_alt

I still get reboots (hard ones), and i believe its the wifi (using the wpa_supplicant_alt).

Cant get the crash log, its always the same.

Apart from that its working perfectly! (no tweaks).

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jarkkis:
I have had the same behavior on my device on update 14. Last one happened yesterday evening. Just turned wifi on and then left the phone on the table for a while. Then took it back to my hand and at the same time saw the Huawei boot logo. Didn't even touch any button before the boot.

Can't complain though for the great job dzo has done. This is shared just for info :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Update 15 breaks video recording (always crashes) and sometimes taking photos. you have to return to previous update (14), and optionally delete additional files update 15 introduces (delete libjni.eglfence.so, libjni_filtershow_filters.so from system/lib and replace the libjni_mosaic.so from the original aurorav5.zip)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] telmosousa:
Sometimes I turn wifi off before I go to sleep and when I wake up I realise that it is on.

The ç character in sms appear as c.

I'm on 5.0 u14

anybody happening the same? I'm using new wpa_supplicant since yesterday, i'll give feedback in a few days about wifi turning by it self
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Mlopik:
Is it possible, that photosphere will work on this phone?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] telmosousa:
the characters with ~ appear without it too :D

i'm using portuguese language :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
That's a feature that strips unicode from SMS so the total characters per message stays on 160. You can go to SMS settings and disable it, but then remember that messages with ç ã, ê è, etc, will only allow a maximum of approx. 60 characters, and you'll get billed double if you pass that without noticing (assuming you don't have free sms)

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
Yes, it works fine, just install any of the google 4.2 camera apps.

The camera in u15 doesn't include photosphere because it's not in aosp.

You'll probably find the other 4.2 cams even more buggy than mine.

Focus probably won't work well and you need to click twice to record a video.

I'm writing a new camera app based on the 4.2 app now, I'll probably put it in the Play Store for a couple of dollars and

give it to anybody who has donated to Aurora.

Thanks.

My sd card keeps unmounting by itself since i installed update 15. It was happening even in v 4.1 like twice a week but now it happens so oftenly like 3-4 times a day.i get a notification showing <sd card unexpectedly removed> or < blank sd card>. I was not having this issue in other roms eg official gingerbread or miui ICS. i have tried over three different sd cards but the problem still persist. I am forced to reboot the device in oder to mount the card again. Even when i change the sim card and power on the phone it is unable to recognize the sd card.again i have to reboot the phone for it to read the card. I really don't think is an hardware problem as i have never experienced this issue in other roms.:(

Please Dzo look into this issue

This also always sets the button brightness when setting the screen brightness so should fix problems with the button backlight turning off.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
This is by design (kind of). The wifi actually crashes, dzo has managed to capture the crash and restart the wifi system without having the phone reboot.

Since the wifi driver is not stable, this is a good workaround and possibly the best implementation we can hope for.

v5u16 Random Reboot

Howdy,

First off, thank you dzo for all your work on this ROM. :good:

Alarm went off at 7:30am and I used the volume buttons to turn it off.

Went to get some water/snack, came back about 20min later and phone was asking for SIM lock code.

I just did a pretty clean install of dzo's ICS v5u16 straight from stock B518, with CWM 5.5.0.4 and restored my data only folder (b/u'd from v4u1a), cleaned both caches.

Log attached.

Side note, battery life is about 30% less on v5. Tested doing same activities for a few daze on v4u1a and v5u16, and on v4u1a I can get easily 15+ hrs (vs barley cracking 11hrs on v5) with some regular/heavy use (gps navigation, constant wifi, txt, email, music stream, etc).

Phone Specs -

ROM: dzo ICS v5u16 (currently)

Screen: Atmel

CPU: 245/1.2 perf/noop (no fills)

Cats: Roxy & Mitty

I have this problem too, and still exists in update16.

Also today I tried GPS navigation with Aurora, after long time(I moved to elora and Mlora after 4.xx latest version), and I had problems with GPS lost signal all the time(this happened both on IGO primo and TomTom). The GPS loose signal very often for some seconds. I didn't have any kind of GPS problems in any other rom or Aurora before 5xx versions.

I have Aurora with update16 clean install with and I've done all wipes and format data/system before flash.

Hey Dzo

I'm on update 16, but since Thursday or Friday something strange is happening...

My phone stopped recognizing the SIM card suddenly.

I noticed this strange symbol in the notification bar, and checked that cannot make or receive calls or SMS, just like if I don't have SIM card

The first time it happened, I didn't bothered. Simply restarted the phone, it asked me the PIN normally and everything working normally.

But it happened again, like 24 hours after the first time or so, and it's happening every 24 hours :/

Is this happening for me only? Any suggestions?

Using this ROM for a few days now, and beside a few reboots it works amazing. Thanks dzo!

But I have a question. Two questions actualy. Does this ROM/kernel support undervolting? And what is maximum safe OC on U8800 for 24/7 use?

EDIT:I belive I have found two bugs. First is that after turning of WiFi normal 3G or 2G data connection stops working, it only shows grey icon with signal, but no E, 3G or H on to of it.

Second, when in stock browser I click button to show all opened tabs, tabs show up, but also keyboard pops up (which isnt of any use in this case, because I only want to close a few tabs or open a new one,...), so I can only see about one half of the screen.
