Is there any command to get some version info from the sim card. My saunalahti sim is nearly 10 years old, so could never version cause the problems for some?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mikeymushi:
No,how does on fix this
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] spirosbond:
you flashed 1.8a or you copied the file dzo posted here? Cause If you copied that file check if it has the correct permissions (same as the other files of the folder).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cokratex:
Well my sim card is also around ten years and no problems with apn here. Maybe that could be something to check.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cirnocirno:
Installed 1.8 and I can see it's really nice to use it.

Found many downsides, firstly.

The 2G/3G is acting strange, sometimes I lose connection to the net and I can't call or recieve phone calls nor sms or mms. Downloading/Browsing/Youtube is slow, I get max peak 1.5MBit per second over 3G and half with Wifi g network. I am very sad about this fact. Didn't have this kind of problems with MIUI.

Oh and I wonder is there anyway to improve call quality and not making it choppy?

Thanks dzo !
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Unrealized:
So is mine and it doesn't work.. Age is not something that affects it, unless it's dirty. Since it just has the network details... :)

Ow sh** MP3 has an insane quality through back-speaker!! only ringtones and youtube and some others make distortion appears. this happens with mine u8800, may not apply to yours.

love the dimmed keypad. great great work dzo!

Edit: this is weird. after play some MP3, ringtones are perfect too... really really weird! BUT AWESOME BAHAHAH :D:D

Edit: well there are some ringtones that produces to much bass, like organ dub for example, and have some crackling. but has improved a lot.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mikeymushi:
I copied the file using root exploer, what permissions do I need?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] spirosbond:
rw-r--r--

as the other files. And reboot before testing it
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mikeymushi:
Still force closing on me.,I've done exacly like you said
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pezzku:
Ok it seems that now we're onto something here :p

Just tried gf's older Saunalahti sim card (not sure how old exactly, several years) and -poof-: data works ok and at every reboot. Switched back to my own 1½ year old old card and nothing. So obviously problem has something to do with sim card (age/version/?).

Found also this post that backs up this theory:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] tatanka1961:
Nice work!

Thanks @ DZO. I think you did an amazing job here!

I just installed V1.8a (over the 'official GB')

Just some first observations: In landscape mode, when I edit text fields, they fill up the entire screen.

Airdroid doesn't seem to work. It launches, but when I click 'Start' nothing happens...

Otherwise it looks really nice, and I believe it's quite responsive.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] MaRcIuPT:
I've noticed that when auto brighness is on, going to some apps or browsing the brightness level change to highest value.

Does anyone can use Ndrive or tmn drive navigation ? I see now that I cant start navigation. it closes the app. or if I click the volume buttons it closes too :S
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] trocLas:
I did a small test yesterday (just to see how long does it take to fix the signal) and in my bedroom balcony, TMN Drive caught the signal pretty fast. I did not test it on the road, so I can't say that the signal bounces or not.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Unrealized:
Bogus, It does the same with my very old sim card and my 3g modem's sim card. :p (7 years vs 2 months)

but if it is the case I'm sure that dzo could fix it (at least I hope :rolleyes:)

@dzo: Is there a specific reason you changed the RIL? Qualcomms work better for me, but it has its own flaws as well (unfixable?). Is Rpc RIL superior in some way? :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] MaRcIuPT:
You got me wrong. I wasn't talk about the signal because that is fast too. I was talking about when you want to navitage to somewhere. when you select you destiny and press "navigate" it closes. ;)

First of all, thank you for making this! It's an awesome gift!

I've been using it now for 3 days and I'm loving it.

I don't if this was already discussed here but I noticed some issues while playing music. These are:

Some battery drain

Sometimes the volume gets lower by itself when opening the sms app

In some songs the higher sound frequencies get distorted

As for the battery drain I attached a screenshot.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rimsilva:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
I think the problem is CABLService, it's some qualcomm autobrightness junk, I'll take it out of the next release.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Damn, I knew that apk didn't do anything good... so removing it with root explorer should do the trick, right? I'm afraid to do it right now and mess up anything...

Yes, it's safe to remove it and you also should remove

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
They are both Qualcomm rils (and propritary), the qmi ril uses a different mechanism to talk to the modem. There was a script to change between them based on the modem version string which says that our device should be using the rpc ril but the qmi rill works too although probably not as well. There are actually 3 different interfaces to the modem because the AT interface works too, I've no idea why they don't just stick with one way of doing things.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] eng.stk:
Seems like there's some more "garbage" apk's I wonder what they are for and if are needed:

ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk (even without chrome installed?)

I've deleted all those apks, everything seems to work just fine without them...

Dzo, brightness is fine now, thank you so much...

Also, does anyone know what apk is the japanese keyboard? I'd like to delete that too, I will never use it and really like to keep the ROM as clean as possible...

Battery Life - Workaround

Yesterday at the same time I have 55% battery life left, today after 9 hours I am only down to 87%

Here's what I have done to get my battery life back:

1) Install JuiceDefender and enabled with the default settings.

2) Installl CPUBoost and set a MAX of 998400 and a MIN of 245000 with it Set on Boot.

With these in place I seem to be back to the same battery life as on MIUI. Something that one of these apps is doing is the key to sorting out the battery life issue on thie ROM.

I hope that this helps.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Unrealized:
Well that is bad... did you find anything interesting in the logs? I've been running the qmi ril for 3 days now and I havent lost my apns.. :/

OMG， I thought you have cancelled today's update.

hopefully, we will have a 2.0 this week.

downloading 1.9~~
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] t_d_z:
:p Sorry to tell you this but in software versioning 1.9 is succeeded by 1.10

Of course you can always release a version 2.0 after 1.9 or 1.8 or any other versions but normal versioning line goes like x.y where both x and y are separate integers counting major and minor versions reflectively.

I'm by no means an epert on Adnroid 4.0 (or any other versions for that matter) but I seem to recall seeing something called "Content based brightness control" or something similar. It might be a part of the OS or a custom app but I seem to recall this name. can it be related?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] wesley sun:
Version 1.9

Change speaker acoustic profile - hopefully this will fix audio problems

Change sensitivity of synaptics touchscreen

put aurora version in build number

change phone name, model and manufacturer to the correct values

fix strictmode not turning off (may need a reboot)

fix raw picture mode for camera (not very useful)

set build type to user rather than eng[/QUOTE]

Awesome,the new version is updated so quickly. Thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Unrealized:
Again, after the update I didnt have service/internet, but changing the rilpath to libril-qc-qmi-1.so in build.prop and rebooting fixed it. So it certainly is the ril that causes it ;)

Strange.. :) luckily the bugs with the qmi ril are just cosmetic (like "no service" all the time and no operator name in lockscreen. I think it doesnt refresh the operator name so it keeps saying it)

Have the phone long enough and you'll be wishing for a new power button in no time...

What's better, an almost non functional power button or accidentally waking up the phone from time to time, but have your hardware working? Volume keys are much easier to press also, they are softer than the power button and don't wear out as fast. It's a struggle to turn my phone on, because my power button is so loose...

I agree it should be an option, but as that probably requires messing around with android source code, I think it's easier to have it on by.default, because, believe me, the power button on this phone wears out very fast, while volume keys don't...

For those having problems with sms text encoding (in that accented or special characters made the number of characters used by each sms much lower than the standard 160), go in the Sms app settings - Cell Broadcast - GSM/UMTS Broadcast and enable Area Info Msgs.

It worked for me on vodafone portugal, now accented characters don't reduce the number of letter available for each sms.

EDIT: false alarm... accented characters like in the word "coração" or "não" still make the available character count for each sms much lower than the 160. I know go sms supports accented characters, but I really like the default sms app...

As said on a post somewhere in this thread...I've installed Gingerbread in 1st place.

After installation is sucessfull, It's required to install CWR so that I may install aurora.zip

The problem is that every time I have tried to install Gingerbread....my netbook no longer recognizes the pink screen when connected by usb cable, so that I can acess the folder where the boot.img and recovery.img files are!

What am I doing wrong?

Oh mate... Such mistake your parents have made :S

The only thing which is MISSING here is your education! Clearly... dzo is working without sleeping (9 updates in what? 10 days?) for FREE... He is probably doing this for fun (and to have a good ICS ROM in his phone) and he is sharing his work... And the way you feel about that is:

Well "I don't wanna live in this planet anymore!"...

Now, BS aside:

dzo, when I enter the Camera360 app and take a pic, the rotation sensor stops working... I have to reboot or go to settings -> Display -> uncheck -> check the Auto-Rotation setting.

Do you know if this can be a bug in the ROM or in the App? Oh, BTW, I didn't fully wipe since 1.4... I'll do a full wipe and report back.

Now you are ready to enter CMW and install ICS
