Stop spamming the development thread about non working third party apps. Especially when half of the latest reviews on that app are 1 or 2 start and reports of the app not working.

Use the general section for that or the app topic on the Android general section.

Hi, after reading and studing how to do it (it wasnt that easy) I managed to put Aurora ICS 4.1a on my U8800 (In reality its a U8800H).

So far so good. In fact really good. I love it! The best ROM I ever tried (I have tried many roms for my ZTE Blade and Huawei U8800).

I really hope I can help to get Aurora as mature as we can get. Will report all the bugs I can (none so far!).

Keep up the good work, and congratulations for the achievement. Im really happy!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] giaretos:
After installing 4.1 version these are my comments/remarks:

1)Battery gets drained very quickly compared to 4.0

2)my contacts get lost after reboot (i have to restore contacts storage from titanium backup). This was the case at 4.0 too.

3)i cannot change to 2g/3g from notification drawer

4)i cannot connect to 802.11n (my router islinksys 160nl with ddwrt) but if you change it to 802.11g everything is fine (i change gDot11Mode to 1 at the /etc/firmware/wlan/qcom_cfg.ini file)

Official ICS for U8800 Pro

Hi guys, I know, its little off-topic, but I don´t know where to post it. Maybe it could help DZO with development - HUAWEI just released ICS for U8800 Pro - it´s possible to "port" that? Funny thing - the incompetent noobs in HUAWEI put that update (ICS for U8800 PRO) to U8800 folder - waiting for a wave of angry-mad customers with bricked machines :-) Again - sorry for an off topic

When i lock the phone, the light turns on/off continiously..

Help plz..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
You mean the softkey lights and screen? It happens here too, but only sometimes and like just for one second. Also, it only happens when locking the screen using an app instead of the power button. This is due to screen off crt animation. It happened before when I used that mod, but because it's included in the ROM, it's more noticeable. I could provide a mod that disables that animation, but I'm not at the pc...

But if that happens all the time with you and for long time each time, then try rebooting or wiping caches, fixing permissions, etc, because, it's not supposed to :-s

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
In the general section there's a thread with scripts. Try them, it really makes the ROM a lot faster. But make sure you read the thread carefully, the flashable zip that's in the first post is out of date, but I already posted an updated zip, just search posts by me... also, install my zip, reinstall latest update from Dzo, 4.1a, and then fix permissions of the scripts inside the init.d folder, because my zip doesn't include the latest that's included inside Dzo s update.

After using the google voice search the phone speaker stops working a short time later as mentioned in the general thread.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fri13:
Only CDMA phones do not have data simultaneously with incoming call. All WCDMA phones (what U8800 is as well) allows such function.

That is the problem with some carriers in USA and Japan that they have only CDMA networks and in those, calls have priority over data. So when you are browsing web or listening internet radio, it will be cut off when call is coming.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stan40:
OK its look like everithing works fine with 1.6.

Now i experience only some lags in internet browsers, no matter which one, and especialy when i play flash videos, not allow me full screen play, it look like the browser need some optimsations but its not a big deal.

The Amtel screen issue is gone which is the bigest improvment for me, next one is the 720p with 30fps and all that runing on ICS,

EDIT: The GPS, I mean...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Edward Stanbury:
+1 totally agree with you !
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] haydnlj:
Firstly dzo - great work, great rom - really smooth!

Same here (v1.5 and v1.6)... although slightly more detail for the thread. GPS is taking much longer to acquire location (tried both standard gps.conf, and my own updated for local au servers). In GMapps 6.2 & 6.3, as per normal the location starts with a blut dot based on data network location, if and when the blue triangle GPS location is found, it drops within 5 seconds back to the blue dot.

Can capture a logcat while this happening if needed/wanted.

Couple of other things I have noticed;

* Wifi seems to only auto-reconnect if set to never sleep

* Photo's are rotated 90 degrees

* Phone seems reluctant to enter deep sleep - CPU spy showed deep sleep as unused state - perhaps related to wifi? Changed governor to interactive while playing around, and noticed an improvement with deep sleep - although I find interactive drains more overall.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rcmestrinho:
Well I wipe the Dalvik cache and Cache partition through Recovery. ICS v1.6 re-installed, and now seems working but it takes to long to acquire the gps signal/gps satellites.

Tested with Google Maps (Navigation) and Ndrive.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] M1ST4K3:
I tried interactive too, but it drains way too much battery... I find the phone waking up too much without data or wifi connected which is weird. I guess it may be kernel related because that problem is in the .35 cm7 and not in .32.

Battery is my biggest concern... I turned everything off and got it to last 1 day with medium usage / some "let me check this new ICS feature!".

Otherwise it's a great ROM. dzo is the man!

with me worked well.

when I flash auroira I also can't get wifi but flashing this solves the issue quick and easy.

Try making a fresh install of aurora 4.0 see if works.

If not, then flash this wpa_ supplicant and see if works. If works, then flash aurora 4.1 and reboot. Most p+robably wifi won't work either so flash the wpa again.

Its just trial and error to try to find a solution and sorry if I couldn't help you further.

I've just found that out... I was checking some apps and suddenly realized that they were working!

When I locked the phone they went out again...

Trying to find which app did it, when changing brightness, they lit up!

Main issue now is battery. I've recovered setcpu with titanium backup, and I'm using smartass v2 between 340 and 1200 (don't remember exact values) and it seems to be draining quite fast when comparing with Oxygen. But its manageable.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ozgurce:
- The keypad lights not works as expected. They are not really bright as normal. I mean I change the brightness to max but even then keypad lights dim. I wanna know is there anything I can do to disable auto brightness for keypad.

- And secondly adb not working. Its fatal for me and I can't find any answer on this topic.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
- Auto-brightness of softkeys works as expected, it was even something requested here that dzo implemented... at night, it's fantastic to not have softkeys at full brightness, that really takes the focus out of the screen in other ROMS, especially when watching youtube clips... and during the day, they aren't even needed, and battery is saved. They do sometimes turn off if you set screen brightness other than auto, that's true, just select auto again and they come back. But with the screen at full brightness, they also become much brighter, so it's working pretty great...

- Adb works fine, you just have to install the correct ICS drivers for it.. for instructions on how to install them, please, search the forum as this was discussed already time and time again :D

I have a problem with update market applications on Aurora roms(definately from 2x versions and after, but maybe and on previous, I can't remember).

I didn't reported until now, because at first I thought that it's a market problem(I used official rom recently for a half day, but I updated some apps without problem), and second, I could'nt find how to reproduce it.

This happens when there are more than one updates, and not every time.

I get today a notification for 15 updates, and happens on the second app.

The problem is that stuck on downloading for an app forever. If I stop the process for this app, the next start to update normally.

I observed that this happens when the screen goes of, and especially if the next app starts the downloading process when screen is off. Then this app stucks forever.

Did anyone notice this behaviour? Could be a wifi' s issue?

It's not only you, wifi in Aurora has always been a bit unstable, that's just the way it is. You can try using old wpa supliccant or Sbasil qcom conf file, but other than that that's nothing to be done.

Got wifi work. Solution was. IMEI 0

So i recovered it and now everything work so long.

A.C.A.B, you were right! The fault was in the fact that the IMEI was zero.

I went to examine the problem, and I tried this:

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1325036

Its really works!

Install Official 2.3.5 and root it.

1. Download imeibackup.rar and ToolBox5iromV1.0.4.2.apk

2. Install toolBox5irom

3. Open Toolbox5irom

4. Close Toolbox5irom (program create "5irom" folder On the sdcard)

5. copy imeibackup contents on the /sdcard/5irom/imeibackup/ (also "imei_string_here.txt")

6. Open "imei_string_here.txt" and edit your own imei code. (Code can be found in the phone under the battery)

7. Open toolbox5irom and Restore imei.

The phone will restart a few times. (the installation will hang myself, but I took the battery out and put back.)

8. Now your IMEI is right! (I hope so)

9. Install aurora ICS x.x

copy imeibackup contents on the /sdcard/5irom/imeibackup

Open "imei_string_here.txt, enter ur imei and place it into imeibackup folder

reboot

recover IMEI

reboot
