Guys,i don't wanna write something off-topic,but recently i tried tones of launchers with aurora.

What i can say is,although it makes me remember froyo by its style a lil,but Launcher Pro (free) is increadible fast and smooth.It must be using ram very low.That's why it is so fast.

U may want to give it a try,if u want simple and fast launcher.All others(apex,nova,touchwiz...etc.) is laggy.

Aurora is much more valuable for me with it.

Fyi..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Mlopik:
I'm using Apex beta, some tweaks and I can't have faster phone if I use this. ;)

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jegor011:

If you want to be able to scan for available networks try the following from adb or a terminal emulator:

setprop rild.libpath /system/lib/libril-qc-qmi-1.so
killall rild

Perhaps this will help figure out why people with virtual operators are having problems.

The problem with APNs must be that it doesn't register on the network correctly. Each network has a mnc(mobile network code) and mcc(mobile country code), these must match an apn for it to show up. To find out which network you are registered to, create a new apn. It will fill in the mnc and mcc with the current values. APNs are saved between reboots but if there are lots of available networks it may be using a different one.

Hope this helps.

I've fixed the audio skipping problem and this fixes some other bugs too, it was a kernel problem. I've also fixed the camera rotation bug.

GPS doesn't work well because it's not using AGPS which means it needs to download almanac data from the satellites and this takes about 2 mins for a first fix. I'll see if I can make it work any better.

p.s. I don't hate Finland, it's just a like a colder upside-down New Zealand.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] FUSiON2992:
But the standalone GPS should be able to maintain the signal while travelling.

I think IDEOS X5's GPS is just crappy, no matter what ROM I'm using it won't work well.

But that explains why that A-GPS trick from here:

So, just a guess, but I think @tiagol11 has bluetooth on (or it was on at elast once since boot), and @MaRcIuPT doesn't use bluetooth..?

Bluetooth seems to mess with the GPS signal on these phones, for me it is a consistent behaviour across all ROM's from froyo to ics.

Edit: I'm relax now, I'll try with 1.8 and I'll wipe dalvik and cache again. I hope I will not fail me again, also I'm going to uninstall some programs such as gps fix and google googles. there is a dalvik problem I sense.

1.8 Edit: It looks like ok again. I'll change governor to smartass2 then reboot again. I hope It will wake me up. F*ck that ****, Nothing even my gf cannot hold me until 2:40.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] chaoscreater:
Hi guys, I've just received my Huawei U8800 today and installed Aurora for the very first time.

I upgraded to Gingerbread v2.3.5 (Final) and followed all the instructions. It booted up fine, no problems so far.

I did 2 extra steps though, so would like someone to clarify if I did it correctly or not.

1. After I wiped data and system cache, I then flashed the partition.zip file from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1803746

2. I then flashed Aurora experimental v5, then flashed update 20.

3. Then I flashed gapps for ICS, from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1796675

So did I do it correctly? Was it necessary to flash the partition.zip file? I noticed that some other custom roms required that to be flashed first. Also, would it be ok if I flash this kernel:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1919781

i'm not sure if this is newer than the one that came pre-installed with Aurora but it seems to offer better performance or battery saving.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] M1ST4K3:
That kernel is pretty much deprecated... The last 21 updates to Aurora 5.0 were done in the kernel code, so by using that old kernel you are discarding all those updates.

Other than that, your method of flashing Aurora seems correct...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zazza8:
1. Don't use that because you don't need so big system partition in Aurora. Original partition is 216MB, yours is now 360MB, so you just waste 144MB of storage. That partition.zip also increases your data partitions size, that is good thing if you don't need so much space in 2GB internal sdcard. But instead use this to increase data partitions size (It takes that space from internal sdcard, like that partition that you used)

(Note that if you use that partition from my link, your phone might lose notification bar (and it factory resets your phone) To fix that just flash Aurora 5.0 and update 20 again)

(Here is some useful information that you don't probably know yet: In U8800 there is three different places for memory: phones internal memory, internal 2GB sdcard and external sdcard slot)

2. Good :D

3. You don't need to do that, those are already in Aurora.

4. I'm not sure, but I think that it's only for Aurora 4.1. So it doesn't work in 5.0.

I prefer this kernel. It saves battery, adds cpu governors etc. but doesn't decrease performance or stability.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dark_vader:
Can anyone confirm this to me please? I re-install Aurora yesterday but today i don't know what happen Mobile standby rose up again.

And Wifi is scanned too even is turned off :|

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] chaoscreater:
thanks for your reply!

Sorry but could you explain the bit about the partition in more detail? I didn't know there was an internal 2GB SD card in my U8800, how do I access that?

Also, since I flash my phone quite a lot, would I also need to wipe the data or space in that internal 2GB SD card everytime I flash a new rom?

Lastly, I still don't quite understand how partition.zip works. I thought it takes the space on your external microSD card and gives it to the system partition? But from what you're telling me, it seems like it's taking the space from the internal 2GB SD card and gives it to system partition & data partition?

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 PM ----------

hey guys, 2 more questions....

I know this isn't a CM rom, but I was expecting to find a CM menu option in Settings, that lets you play with CPU settings etc. Since it's not in this rom, how do you guys change your CPU settings? Do you simply use tools like SetCPU? I was hoping for settings already in the rom itself....

speaking of which, I've seen people mentioning "X5 Settings" in some other topics. I kinda know what it is, but is that helpful for this rom? It's not pre-installed with it whereas other custom roms I've seen have that pre-installed, so I'm guessing it's not really required?

Lastly, I can connect to WIFI no problem, but for some reason my apps in Google Play just won't update. I can get the weather to update and retrieve new emails from Gmail, but Google Play just won't update my apps.....

I've done a quick search and people suggested using alternative "wpa supplicant". Then I find a link to a post somewhere in this topic that shows this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26478868&postcount=5597&nocache=1&z=2269871845878063

so is that what people are referring to? But it's from a old version (and it's beta).....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] chaoscreater:
Ok so I've just tested the alternate wpa_supplicant (from the link I posted) and it doesn't work. It doesn't even connect to my router. So I flashed the latest Aurora update 21 and it's back to normal, where I can connect to my router and browse the net and check Gmail, but somehow just can't download from Google Play.

After a few more tests, it finally starts to download from Google Play, but it's not stable. Even when I'm browsing the web or checking my Gmail, it sometimes hangs. The connection is still connected, but it's just not getting any data at all. Not really stable all in all.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] faekplastik3s:
You should use the wpa_supplicant or wpa_supplicant_alt appropriate for your version of the ROM. Both are included by default with the ROM in the path indicated by that post you linked, just rename the wpa_supplicant_alt to wpa_supplicant if you're having connection problems with the default settings.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] xnikos:
"Then I flashed gapps for ICS, from here:"

I 'm afraid this is the problem.Aurora has the google apps embedded, and I really think you should flash aurora again and the latest update.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zazza8:
I have understood that in our phone there is a 4GB memory chip, which is partitioned (splitted) to data, system, cache and internal 2GB storage. It functions like normal sdcard, but it's as fast as your other partitions (data etc.), you can't remove it, move any apps or any system files to it. So you don't need to wipe it. It's empty if you don't put something to it. You can use it for saving documents, photos etc. I use it only for nandroid backups.

If you want to put some files to it, you can either use some file explorer (e.g. ES File Explorer, Solid Explorer) or you can use computer (Use MTP because with USB mass storage you can't see it, enable MTP by going to Settings -> Storage -> Menu-key -> USB computer connection -> select Media device (MTP) and then connect it to computer, it should now show two sdcards)

Many people think that it's just useless to use it only for documents etc., so they grab a piece of it using partition.zip and add it to data partition.

So they now have more space in data, but less in internal sdcard.

Using that partition.zip that I posted earlier your data partition (where e.g. apps are) is expanded to 1.2GB and your internal sdcard is squeezed to 1.46GB. There is also a custom partition tool, with that you can decide by yourself how big data partition (and how small internal sdcard) you want. So for example you can get 1.7GB of data partition if you want.

CPU settings can be changed with any app that is meant to do that (e.g. SetCPU that you mentioned or if you don't want to pay use e.g. No-frills CPU Control)

I have never heard about X5 Settings, so I don't know. :D

That what xnikos said can be true.

That wpa_supplicant that you posted is for Aurora version 3.0, so it doesn't work in 5.0.

If you want to try alternative wpa_supplicant use some file explorer with root access (e.g. those that I mentioned before) and go to root of your phones memory, then system -> bin and then

1. Find wpa_supplicant and wpa_supplicant_alt

2. Copy those to your external sdcard, so you can return back to default

3. Delete wpa_supplicant

4. Rename wpa_supplicant_alt to wpa_supplicant

Done!

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] skyseel:
3G is constantly turned on. WiFi from time to time (manually, not always on). Some calls, texting, browsing, some game playing.. And to all those, who complain about battery drainage - either it's an app draining it - or in my case, I had a spare battery laying around (got it from one broken u8800) and when I changed to it, I noticed great improvement ;) I could get 3days out of it for sure if I hadn't played any games.

And about that 1%, I took screenshot right after I stopped playing some game. Came back in few minutes to 11% .. You know our device and battery percentage calculation is a tricky one ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dark_vader:
Yes sensores are not always exact about percentage missing. Which governor and I/O scheduler do you use? And cpu clock/speed?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] skyseel:
Max clock: 1,2GHz

Min clock: 368Mhz

Governor: performance

I/O sched: noop

Also, not experiencing ANY reboots. And using TSF shell launcher (RAM hungry).. Everything is running smooth!

The only problem I have with my phone is loss of signal / call termination from time to time (even if I have 5 bars). Haven't figured out that one yet..

thanks for clarifying, well explained!

Oh btw, it seems my Wifi problems are gone now. I didn't change the wpa_supplicant to the alternative one, but somehow it connects to my router fine now, I tried it several times since yesterday till now so all is good :)

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
It doesn't work in any version. It's impossible to change 2g and 3g by other means other than the settings on android 4+, it's supposedly a security feature to prevent malicious apps from downloading large amounts of data on the background by changing to 3g.

It's only possible to turn data on and off, and but not network mode.

Cyanogen doesn't have this problem, I think, but aurora, because it's based on aosp, doesn't allow it.
