It's the version of Android, don't worry, oxygen is based on .32 kernel and has no locked bootloader, I expressed myself bad when I said 2.2 based ROMs, should have said .32 kernel based ROMs :-(

@jeremysherriff :

@fjsferreira: Thanks for clarifying.. because as far as I knew, the bootloader was not locked with Oxygen.. just wanted to make sure. Thanks.

I used Titanium Backup on the official 2.3.5 and was able to restore game data ( like cut the rope ), also my private messages from go sms pro, but not the normal text messages, also couldn't restore my notes ( but then again the note program didn't work 2, ... :-) )

So I think it also will be possible to restore some program data from oxygen, but wouldn't recommend to restore system data ;-)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fatsodonkey:
can someone help me? any way to get the io scheduler boot to noop in system startup? and i dont want to use any overclock system.

i only use setcpu and it doesnt have schedulers.

unbelievable that there is no good overclock program... i would want 1x1 widget with temp and mhz. And with io schedulers. ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
I've been playing with the 3.0.8 kernel and it's mostly working but still very buggy, probably best to stick with 2.6.35 for a while. I've made a few changes to the kernel that should help with power management and wifi so I'll probably do a release with that soon.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fri13:
I needed to go back to official 2.2 (I hate the theme in 2.3) because since 1.13-2.0 I get terrible phone call quality unless I plug headset. And sound settings resets sometimes so it disables headset microphone and switch to phone microphones.

Please DZO, revert back to audio standard that headphones can not be used to make calls (unless users want to enable illogical behavior for Android) and make standard as default where headset microphone is used by default.

It is terrible to use a phone when needed to carry headset or headphones with it and to plug them in and out to get good quality. (reseted whole phone by flashing 2.2 -> 2.3 -> 4.0.3 two times to confirm this).

And sound decibel metering application didn't work. Works OK in 2.3.

Skype works fine for me. No call drops and voice quality is excellent.

Just two bad problems with skype:

1. Speaker function can not be found (It was first round available and worked fine, but second round I coudn't even find it).

2. When using a camera to send video feed to other, the video is sharp but everything is green. Something to do with codecs as for me the video in corner is correct but receiver it is green. And when the camera is enabled, the video in corner flash one or two frames in creen before it starts transmitting video.

I need to do a third round and test skype in 2.2 and 2.3 to be sure how camera works in skype on them.

Data connection drops out with Saunalahti connection when phone call is received. This is very serious as even when having -67dB - -97dB WCDMA signal strength and data is used (tethering, hotspot or phone itself using) and call comes, the data connections are cut off totally. When call is ended, data connection returns. No matter is "GSM only", "WCDMA only" or "GSM / WCDMA preferred" modes used.

Few /sdcard problems stopped when changing to other I/O scheduler from BFS. Problems were that /sdcard was lost now and then without any reason and demanded to eject and re-insert card physically. Using CFS seemed to fix problem. But problems still exist sometimes with ClockWork where is needed to physical re-insertion to be done. Very weird. If BFS is default, I think it could be better to make CFS a default.

Camera has crashed few times less but still does it. Panorama function works great (even in potrait mode) and only needs very slow Y axis rotation when lighting is low and camera can not compensate shutter speed.

Battery drain is huge in 2.0. So far 1.11/1.12 was best. Now it was like needed a recharge every 7-8 hour but with 1.11/1.12 it was happy to use for second day when at morning phone could have 52%
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Barleyman:
I predict dzo needs a radio log to do something about this.

Dzo stated bfq was an oversight and will be fixed. This thread has way too much static.

You can "run" several different overclock apps. So, I'll ignore the stuff about widgets, you can find apps to do that, sounds like you have something in mind already.

Use No-Frills CPU from the market to set the IO scheduler.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] selimozbas:
1. Really? the sound quality is bad? huhh. I think it is very well. Pls check "use echo cancelling mic" and "use headset mic." settings in system settings.

For battery the rom is new rom and Dzo improve the rom in everytime so follow the changelog and use some 3rd apps for battery saving. ex: juice defender, advanced task killer
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] nrdl:
why do users continue to request headset and headphones calls to dzo? Both options are available on sound setup...

There are no logic or principle on stock option... Normal headPhones work with phone Mic, so that is not a question or a principle... It's a dzo option that he does not even have to justify. He updated settings so every people could change to own you're of use, what is the point of requesting standard or optional?!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] lourenzo:
Hi Dzo!

Great work you've done so far...

Just an idea but, since you have your hands dirty, could you release two branches of different kernels so one could try and help with the debug?

Just an idea.

BTW my wifi seems to be always ON.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Repeal:
Audio is awesome. He added two options in sound settings for echo cancelling mic and headset mic. you should CHECK relase notes more frequently.

Skype works but it depends on your internet connection, For me it drops sometimes.

for Camera and Camcoder problems, please change your io scheduler to NOOP

yes data connection drops sometimes, also wifi drops too but it's huawei's problem not dzo's.

CFQ and BFQ are worst shedulers I've ever used. This because of I said can he add sio.

Battery drain problem is ok for me. I can still use for 42 hours (at least 36 hours) (in 1.x versions I was using it for 48 hours, not a big deal for me)

please, Please check what dzo and other users said in previous posts especially dzo's replies. and also check other threads about performance and battery problems in xda.

you can start your journey from here.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Edward Stanbury:
15 hours and 32% battery, ill try re calibrate the battery again and see if it makes a difference otherwise i think mines just stuffed >.<
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
the some problems that iu found are:

When i finish a call the sensor of light is to slow, so from the part that i hang until the part that i press the red button to end the call i need to wait 5 seconds to see and there is almost no brightness.

The other problem is about the rom, is a little choppy after 2 or 3 days of a fresh install, looks like that is some delay or the cpu or gpu is not making is work, i have done all the things that dzo says in the first page on the build file.

This are my main problems, the wifi is also a litle bit slow and i have change the gov and the schedule to noop.

best regards
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] uumeshh:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] R4DK0:

When USB storage is mounted and you get a call, there is no sound from the other person.

ICS hardware resources consumption

does ICS consumes more resources than GB?

I have installed it but it made my phone a little bit lazy.

Is that ICS general nature or this edition of it? or just our u8800 is a weak phone? should we expect speedy versions from developers or not?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
The phone feels slower on Aurora, IMO, exactly because of a combination of what you said, ICS itself, relatively low specs of U8800 and maybe some bugs of Aurora Rom...

Don't expect updates soon because DZO is working now on 3.0 kernel, so new bugs will be introduced for sure and we'll have to wait for him to optimize everything. Dzo works very fast though, so I don't know :d
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] R4DK0:
While its not the most important bug, but used occasionally is the GPS in Aurora. I could not get a signal in my room, I tried editing gps.conf, apps like fasterGPS. I tried GPS in CM7 .35 and got 130meters accuracy (9 satellites) in my room.

Keep up the good work, dzo!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] natna:
To everyone that has camcorder crashing after recording 4-6 minutes:

My thoughts about slow cards causing it, came true.

I used vold.fstab mod in order to mount the internal memory as default.

That way, the camera app is recording in the internal sd. After some 12-13 minutes, 720p video recording, I pushed the button to stop and voila! The camera app saves the video almost instantaneously and is ready to record again after 1-2 seconds!!!

Tested it several times. Flawless video recording! And the video bitrate is around 13-14Mb/s. Almost that of my N8.;)

So I though I should measure the internal's sd write/read speed with Antutu + Sdtools

Results after several tests:

Antutu 6.4-6.5 MB/s write

23-25 MB/s read

Sd tools 5.8-7.5 MB/s write

40-48 MB/s read

Antutu results seem more consistent to me. So I'll try a Class 10 microSD, perhaps a Samsung Plus or a verbatim premium card.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jbarros26:
Thx a lot man , so that was a ICS featuring. I dont want to change it for now. First i want to stay like dzo make this :D. Lets see the good news that dzo brings to us... Once again Thx
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
I'd be keen to see your results for the sd card you have an issue with, as well as any class-10 card you get. I feel like there is a kernel/driver issue with the storage but it may only be for the sd card, not for the internal storage? Anyway, post up your results!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] natna:
My Kingston 8gb class 4 sd gives always 1MB/s write and 6MB/s read with Antutu.

Sdtools gave 4MB/s write and 5MB/s read.

It worked good with lgcamera and 720p 8mb/s h263 - AAC 128 Kbps recording, but I think it can't cope with almost twice the bitrate.

Lgcamera still doesn't work with internal sd...:mad:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] spirosbond:
Hi all,

First of all I have to say that I'm experiencing a great battery life!

37 hours without a charge, still 47%. I am using 368-1.2GHz, smartass V2, noop, some 3g some 2g, some wifi, airplane mode while sleeping (5 hours). A bit of advise: Download an app that shows your logcat (for ex. lumberjack) and see what apps wake up your phone! I had two bad apps (widgets elixir2 and TM worldclock) which drained much battery.

But I have just noticed a strange thing... I was using my phone and my battery fell fast (5-7 minutes) to 29% and when I stopped it gradually risen to 47% (now 48% :eek:). I also checked the voltage of the battery with the app Battery Calibration and it was gradually going up... Enyone else notised something like that?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] genti7:
im having reboots sometimes when phone is asleep and i think that this only happens if wifi is on
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] trocLas:
That happens to me to, either with Wi-Fi on or off. Normally 1 reboot per day.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
Most phones have a coulomb counting battery sensor that determines how much charge is left by counting how much power has been used. Huawei obviously decided that was too expensive (or perhaps Li-po batteries can do without it) so the charge is worked out using the battery voltage. Battery voltage depends on charge left but also on how much current is being drawn and the temperature. To take this into account the kernel has to inform the modem processor when it switches on or off anything that draws current (using a fn called huawei_rpc_current_consuem_notify!) I guess the modem processor also takes into account the temperature. For things like the GPU, it's really hard to figure out how much current it will draw because this depends on how much work it has to do. This means that the current consumption can only ever be approximated.

There is no way that this method can really be accurate especially at high currents and/or temperatures.

Bottom line, battery stats are not accurate on this device. Also, things like "battery calibration" (which resets the coloumb counter) are completely useless.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
Yes, unfortunately there's not much I can do about this because the wifi driver is proprietary. I think the official GB rom (which uses the same driver) does the same thing. I got wifi working on kernel 3.0.8 and guess what, it also crashes from time to time. I've added a crash dump function in the kernel now and perhaps this will be of some help. The only chance that I could fix it is if we find that certain usage patterns cause the driver to crash and then we could work around it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ezet:
Well explained!! Thanks for the info :)

---------- Post added at 02:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 AM ----------

Concerning this why don't you just switch to the .32 kernel which was stable and with no real issues? It won't work on ICS? Are there many advantages on the .35 ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
This! A version of Aurora on the .32 kernel, x5 settings app, everything kernel related working and stable, fantastic GPS, fantastic sound, fantastic wifi! Oh, such a dream... :-)

Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting a complete switch of Aurora to 32 kernel, just a version with it :-)

Dzo, is that technically impossible?

Ezet, your kernel of cm7 is fantastic :-) just so you know... how about making it work with Aurora? :-)

Elixer is a known battery drainer, unfortunately. And many people will have it installed too, especially after it was the recommended way to figure out which touchscreen we each have.

This battery behaviour has been mentioned before, i'm not sure about in this thread/ROM, but definitely in others. I'm simply saying that it's been an "issue" in many ROM's and on many kernels including .32 kernels, so it's not something to worry about too much.

---------- Post added at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] haydnlj:
@dzo - is there a touchscreen duplicate filter applied at all, or is it possible to apply a filter to improve the touchscreen accuracy?

I could be a case of fat fingers, but it feels less accurate at times compared to previous ROM's where I had a filter of 6 applied via @stockwell's x5 Settings.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
Not me lol

BBS is good, has helped me sort out stupid issues on almost every rom. Something I have come to suspect with the .32 kernels is that battery drain that isn't accounted for is to do with poor cell reception (not just when using data either). What i can't figure out is whether the .35 kernels are better at managing that, or worse.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Dima_2005:
I've tested the battery, not using 3G/2G, only wifi (2 hours/day).

Just reading email, text messages and a bit of calling (10-15min/day). Also listening to music (45min/day).

Total screen on time: 1h/day

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] casca:
Hello guys.

When you say that your phones reboot, do you mean a complete reboot or just a so called "modem reboot" where it only asks you the PIN code without rebooting?

Either way, in mine happened with 1.13a and 2.01 and indeed with the WIFI ON, but it was during the night so I wasn't able to figure out which one occurred...

So, as long as we keep our WIFI OFF it won't happen? is that it?

regards

EDIT: I just remembered that this morning when the phone alarm rang, it was still ok, and I suspended it for 10 more minutes. Afterwards when it rang the alarm for the second time it was asking for the PIN code.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
Haptic feedback should still work, perhaps it's disabled in settings. Yes, I do get the donations and am grateful but have been really busy at work so I haven't had time to reply to everybody yet. Thanks.

To those who have problems with this ROM, I've done following and it resolved all my issues (not receiving mms, camera working inappropriatley, weird fonts,...)

1. Install B526 official firmware (if you can't initiate it, remove battery and plug the phone onto usb cable and try again)

2. Root it

3. Install Clockworkmod 5.5.0.4

4. From Clockworkmod, format data / factory reset, cache, wipe dalvik cache and if you wish - battery stats

5. Install dzo's Aurora 2.01_test

6. ????

7. Profit!

Previously I installed the ROM via 5.0.2.7 Clockworkmod, I'm not sure if that was one thing that caused me issues or not ..

Kind regards!
