Try running a slightly higher minimum clock speed (384mhz) and let us know in a day or two if you see the same behaviour? It has helped for me but I would like the opinion of others.

My u8800 is on Aurora 5 with update 16.

With update 16 my X5 have no reboots. With disabled wifi and less phone using the battery have a capacity of 5 days and 13 hours on standby.

Is there any way that i can disable continuous focus when i am video recording?

Im on Version 5.0 update 17 and all my video recordings are blured because the phone is trying to focus all the time!

Or is there any other camera app that does not use continuous focus ?

I have found two bugs on the latest version (update 18_entropy).

-Turning on the Wi-Fi in the notification bar icon makes the phone reboot quite often.

-Sometimes vibration stops without no apparent cause. Needs one or two reboots to get back to normal.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ponder Stibbons:
Well my friends, here is the screenshot. :) The screenshot is from today morning. My X5 was connected with the charger while I have made the screenshot.

I have installed only Aurora 5 and update 16, no other apps. Wifi is almost off. Only in some situations I enable wifi for a short while. Data connection over mobile network is always off. In the last few days I have made only some calls and some SMS. Thats all folks,

have a nice day,

Bugs

Hi,

i'm using aurora_5.0_update18 and i found a few bugs:

1 - Now and then the GPS lost the signal

2 - The Haptic feedback is allways on. Even if you turn it off..

3 - There´s no way to use custom ringtones for notifications or sms

4 - The ICS function "Quiet hours" is not present

Hope you can solve those in recent updates.

Thkx
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
#3 - you just need to put the ringtones into the right place. Works fine.

#4 - I don't believe this is a standard ICS feature?? It's not present on my Nexus devices that I have seen.

on u18_entropy for a few days with about 3-4 daily wifi ons/offs.. no reboot experienced so far..

wifi is clearly more stable than previous updates..

cant comment on battery drain as my battery is apparently defective and im getting a replacement..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pSych0bUNny:
I have noticed that on u18 entropy after the first day my batter drains very quickly.

Thought it was my works Wi-Fi, but even on mobile after about 6 hrs the battery is dead.

Am going to try slightly higher cpu speeds, currently 1024/245, perf/noop. And maybe try ondemand/noop(?).

Don't think my battery went bad overnight...?

Additionally, I have the cpu overlay turned on for the last couple of days and it seems there is always a kworker/0:x showing with a long red line behind it. What does that mean?

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] RevengeFNF:
Hello,

I intalled aurora 5 update 18 antropy on my device. Everything is very fast and fluid.

I got only one problem. My wifi can fint the networks, it ask for the pass. But then it just does not connect to the network, it does not even try to connect to it.

Does anyone got a similar problem? Very strange. With official gingerbread, wifi works fine, so i thinks its not a hardware problem.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
That behaviour normally means you typed the password wrongly. Normally. Did you try re-typing it?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rimsilva:
You probably need to change for the old wpa_supplicant file (delete wpa_supplicant and rename wpa_supplicant_old to wpa_supplicant)

it's inside sytem/bin
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ColdFire InOx:
I'd like an update on this whenever possible.

Thanks!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
The wifi problem is a known one since the introduction of the new Aurora 5 kernel. It's a driver problem and it's very tricky to fix. As to vibration, I can't confirm, everything works as it should.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] telmosousa:
Let me guess, you're trying to connect to a Zonhub or another zon router?:p
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] RevengeFNF:
Yes, they are both Zon routers.

You did resolve that problem with the wpa?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] telmosousa:
Yes I must do it to because I've a Zonhub, if this is your first install of aurora, you must (in this and similiar cases) use the other wpa_suplicant to connect to zon routers. Normaly after updates you must redo it.

I hope I could help. Good luck.

By the way is there anyway to get skip music by holding volume key in this ROM? I like a lot of this rom, but I had used oxygen and I liked some mods and I would like to have them is aurora, can it be done?

The ADB cannot connect to phone with Aurora 5.0 up18 so I can't get the logcat. Do you close the adb?

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] forumber2:
I succesfully installed ADB and Composite ADB drivers to Win7 x86 & I can see the "ADB" in device manager. But the adb don't communicate with the phone. Thanks anyway :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
You should see a bunch of "Android" devices on device manager when the phone is connected. You need to install the drivers for the correct one. In my case, it's the one that has the Hardware ID ending in MI_01. Do it by searching the pc for the drivers files and use the files I posted.

In think if you install the drivers for all the "Android" devices that appear, it will work too, in that case you don't have to test which one is the correct one.

Hi! Using Aurora since first release, but just able to comment now.

Anyone with this problem?

Thanks to Dzo for his great work

I had the same problem,some app you installed is responsible.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:

I know this doesn't belong here, but as this is the most popular thread for aurora and because lately we haven't been seing any updates for people to try, here's a modified framework-res.apk that enables Jelly Bean window transitions and animations.

I've used this tutorial

Overall, not a lot different, but I like them a lot, very subtle.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pSych0bUNny:

EDIT: It seems faster than the JB animation in the Activity animation in the Behavior settings of the Apex launcher.

From now, i will include this framework-res.apk in the zip package of the aurora v5 if i have a fresh install the rom.

Any help please?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
You changed the framework-res.apk, which isn't included on update18. Just take the original file from aurora5 experimental zip(is on system/framework) and put it on the zip from jsferreira and ovewrite the existing. Then flash it.

Wifi is a driver-related issue and is unlikely to ever be resolved. If you read through this thread you will learn how things have changed and improved.

Don't use the notification toggle - turn wifi on and leave it in. That way it won't reboot your phone.

Been running at 1200/384 for a few days now and no reboots. Think maybe the default minimum is too low.

Side track, the battery issue I was having was due to some process constantly throttling my CPU. I tried different governers and even going back the the standard kernel, but nothing seemed to work. Did a complete, clean install (found dzo's u18 entropy worked best for me), and now using interactive/noop at 1200/384 + the jb animation framework w/ nova launcher, things appear stable and fast.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Mlopik:
You can try app "Faster GPS" from Play store.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] nagato.fm:
>>You can try app "Faster GPS" from Play store.

And that will only enable AGPS that is already enabled by default in Aurora.

Akaloith, try to open /system/etc/gps.conf and edit NTP server and XTRA servers according to your country/continent. For example, by default NTP server is Asia. If you're living in Europe, you should comment out the string with asia server (just put # before the string) and uncomment (delete #) European one. XTRA servers may be left unchanged.

I use gps quite often and it's working perfectly in Aurora. It locks my location in 1-3 secs and loses connection only in buildings.

Something I have noticed the the wifi toggle in status bar FC/reboot bug.

For me it only FC's if I have a app that requires internet running. For example if I open facebook app then try and toggle wifi i'll get reboot.

If I close all apps by holding home and swiping apps away. Then toggle wifi then it works fine.

Thanks for trying to solve the problem, unfortunately it didn't help. Still if booted up with 3G network it shows "No Service" and no APNs. Voice calls work ok tough.

If I boot up with 2G only setting and switch to 3G the data works fine until next reboot.

And btw. just tried with a TeliaSonera sim and 3G data worked well at every reboot. So seems to be a roaming/virtual operator problem (still strange that 2G data works for Saunalahti too).
