[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] FUSiON2992:
I had a cyanogenmod from november 2011, here's how to make this work:

1. Make full backup of all your stuff in clockworkmod recovery

2. The links for the stock rom in huawei's website don't seem to work, so I got oficial 2.2.1 (portuguese edition) from here:

https://rapidshare.com/files/3353877856/U8800_-_ROM_2.2.1_-_TMN.zip

3. Copy the "dload" folder to the root of your SD card

4. Turn on the phone pressing volume up+volume down+power button

5. It will start to install, you don't need to touch your phone. Wait 10 minutes until it ends

6. Turn of the phone (if it doesn't automatically reboot after the instalation), and let it do something. It will reboot some times. It looks like a boot loop but it's not.

7. Now just ignore the google configuration wizard and stuff like that

8º Download the oficial gingerbread from here:

http://www.fileserve.com/file/MJ65g2c

9º Delete the "dload" of your sd card and put the "dload" of the file you just downloaded

10º Turn off the phone, turn it on with volume up+volume down+power button

11º It will install the oficial gingerbread

12º Turn on the phone. I didn't know if it was still rooted, so I ran superuser just to make sure. I also updated my clockworkmod to v5.5.0.4

13º Copy aurora's zip to the SD card

14º Boot into recovery, wipe user data, cache partition and dalvik cache

15º Go to "chose zip from sd card" and chose aurora

16º Reboot phone and done!

--

The ROM looks fast, I think it's a little bit slower than cyanogenmod or oxygen, but it's just an initial release. The sound is a little bass. The wifi is super fast connecting.

I noticed something with the GPS: the first time I used I was surprised it locked my position inside my house. I ran gps test, and the accuracy was pretty good. Then, I ran gps state and deleted agps data and re-downloaded it. Now it doesn't seem to be as good as it was, even though I flashed the rom again. Maybe it's just me...

But congratulations DZO, you made an awesome ROM, and you're updating it very fast! You're a very good developer.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] inculto:
my wi fi doesnt connect automatic but when i ask it to connect is very fast, battery drains a bit faster then in miui .32 kernel

and still there are apps that dont work even games with chainfire 3d and the others that work sometimes got freeze and restart phone infact i think that even when im not playing i had one random reboot could be because of being testing some apps.

and i feel that in this version phone became a little more laggy

sound is great youtube videos works great

overall great rom and great work from dzo.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] entrapmen:
Today i tried it for a few hours and i can say dzo you rock man! Weldone and keep up the good work! Thanks.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
I think I've fixed a bug that caused the gpu to crash when the screen switched off sometimes. This should make the rom much more reliable. I'll release a 1.6 later today.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] FUSiON2992:
Nice work DZO, you're very fast at correcting bugs!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] That-Guy:
Great Job!

Look forward to it :)

after installing the official version 2.3, I can not go into recovery mode and apply the ICS version 1.5. : (
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
You got to tell us more... did you copy recovery to phone?

Sent from my U8800
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
1.6 is up now.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
1.6 is up, YAY.

Dzo, any word on the skip track issue? Or force mic? Any chance of making x5 settings app work in this ROM? That would be great!

Of course, ironing bugs first is the priority!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] That-Guy:
Are these two bugs the same thing:

"If you switch away from the cam when it's in video mode (e.g. to view a video), it will crash when you return to it"

and

"Fix a bug that caused the gpu to sometimes crash when the display was switched off"

Just wondering :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fsnelis:
no they are not... the first crashes the camera app and the second one cause the phone yo reboot.. example if you have a live wallpaper then the phone reboots after a wake up sometimes..

This rom is FANTASTIC guys. So lets all consider donating to dzo something (as mush as someone can) for his great and continuous work.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] FUSiON2992:
The auto brightness doesn't seem to work :(

DZO, I don't know if it's my phone's problem, but my GPS is always disconnecting while travelling, this happens even with the stock rom. Do you have any problems with the GPS?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] inculto:
anyone uses chainfire 3d in 1.6 rom? or also 1.5?

well someone can explain to me how i put chainfire 3d running smoth in this rom? settings?

thks

dzo what can we say? merry christmas? lool great work

Does anyone know if wakeupkey=1 string works on ICS ???
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rcmestrinho:
Well, when I press vol -, vol + and power at the same time I don't get the pink screen...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Najnesoog:
Unfortunately, I've not had a good experience with this ROM so far - at least using 1.5.

I upgraded from Official Gingerbread (v522) running Recovery 5.0.2.7. After installing Aurora ICS 1.5, I did a system wipe, cache wipe (for good measure) and dalvik cache wipe before rebooting the phone. The phone hung at the Huawei logo and I had to pull the battery. This happened twice.

On the third attempt, Aurora ICS started okay and all seemed fine.

Mostly, the ROM was delightful though the new interface takes some getting used to. Dzo, thanks for your great efforts!

However, after installing a few apps including the XDA one, I found there seemed to be a problem with HTTPS access. For example, I could run the XDA app okay as long as I did not log on. If I tried to log on, the log on process would continue endlessly without completion. Eventually an error message would appear (I tried several times being careful with logon details so it is not incorrect logon details.

Similarly, if I tried to access my bank account using a custom banking app, there would be an error message to the effect the HTTPS site was not available - though it was accessible from a computer.

I tried a full system reset (within ICS and from Recovery) without improvement.

Eventually, I tried reinstalling Aurora 1.5 doing the install twice. I then tried to restart the phone and it hung at the Huawei logo again.

I have since gone back to official Gingerbread for the time being and the HTTPS issue does not appear in this ROM.

One thing: When installing Recovery 5.0.2.7, the recommended practice is to change the .cust_backup folder to RW prior to copying across the Recovery IMG file. My question: After you have copied the Recovery file should you change the .cust_backup folder back to RO? Is this a potential problem source?

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] emre.yv:
Well i was on beta3.0 update 2 and everything was working like a charm. I tried to update to 3.1 but it doesn't boot. And if a remove the battery, phone doesn't even show the Huawei screen. I have no idea about the problem, i did all the wipes. :confused:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
What's the modprobe update? What's that about the modules? And which modules?

Regards
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sr21:
That is the stock launcher.

Thanks for the tip, the phone was charging and it is the problem! :)

I think there is a little bit more lag in this version in comparison with 3.0 beta 2 update 2, but it's not critical...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] VuDuCuRSe:
This is a development section, so I assume there are no "normal" users here... and those that do come here (too many lately, unfortunately) don't really read the first post and the last few pages so they really don't count.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] bassdrum01:
I think 3.1 is more laggy then the previous version... also in, the first boot after the instal of 3.1 i lose the sms shortcut. I will test more

Edit: wifi still loses conection
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] hmarques:
Well, I'm on 3.1 for a few hours, and I have 2 issues only:

- Wifi is not very good, same problem as reported before- connection is blue, looks OK but is down. re-enable Wifi, it connects again, works normally

- had 2 reboots (not having reboots for so many versions, not missing at all :( )

link to log file, not sure that the file attached to xda is ok
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Qqqxxxzzz:
I have sometimes "quick reboots" with 3.1
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sr21:
That comment wasn't very helpful.

Please read the first page and provide the logs to dzo.

He is a great developer, but that's it, He is not a magician to know what happend with your phone, I think! Can you know what happens in our phones using magic triks?

If you want a better ROM, please help him being a good tester ;)

Back to 3.0. :(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] krothold:
Does not work for me. It still cannot control the "Battery charged" or charging notfication. I've tried to disable the led when the bat is charged, but it kept shining. Changing the color did not work too, so I assume that it does not work at all when the charger is connected.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pezzku:
I gues this is again another Saunalahti-operator problem, but there's still no mobile data after using wifi.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dangerous_johnh:
I'm really not trying to be funny here, but I think you're ****ed and actually just saved my ass here.

Could you check the zip you downloaded? I just got the zip from code.google.com and it only downloaded 30.0 Mb zip file, which would probably mess up my phone really bad if I didn't read your post and went back and checked if I had the correct file.

EDIT:

I went back and checked sha1 sum for the erroneous file, it was df13bb68218a66fbab795930709110168d302f3b, different from the shown sha1 sum when you start the download. This could be a bug with the code.google.com website.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
i always download from the google code site and do checksum checks to ensure file integrity.. never had a problem with the downloaded files..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
Dzo, because we're reaching a very stable rom, could you please start to try correcting some minor glitches like some buttons on notification drawer not working, disabling/enabling haptic feedback for atmel screens via settings app, send mms even if internet is off (enabling only mms proxy when sending/receiving), etc...?

Thanks and best regards!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
since "mms-sending with no data network" function is a hot/discussed topic with opposite opinions, would it be better to develop the function as a mod to aurora, just like the volume wake mod?

i think anybody interested in this should start working on it right away instead of loading dzo with this task..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cokratex:
Hm, this is not the case for me. With 3.1 and Saunalahti tried switching wifi on off several times and rebooted and tried again. Every time mobile data is working.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] emre.yv:
I just checked and the sha1 sum seems ok. And i can open the zip file correctly i don't know what is wrong but i think i will try downloading it again :( And at the end, I'm able to boot up the phone with beta 3.0 .
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] SYZo:
dzo thank you for this awesome rom. i havent got ANY problems. All working good, wifi, screen. there are not any glintses or crashes or reboots

thank you again and keep up the good work!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
I note that no specific mode appears to be selected by default. In this "unselected" state, I could not get USB storage to mount on my Windows machine - the device repeatedly connected and disconnected (driver crash on the phone?). Once I selected MTP mode, I was able to mount the storage fine.

Those of you that continue to have issues mounting the phone for file transfer, check this setting.

@dzo is there any way of setting this to be set in one state or the other by default? I suspect that those worst-affected are people carrying out full /data wipes in an effort to have a more stable experience, but this specifically would make it less stable..

FYI: v3.1
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
Wifi performance on v3.1 us awful for me - less than 1Mbps down when I normally get 6 or better.

But wifi doesn't appear to be draining the battery so I'll live with it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sr21:
I've lost all my photos, pictures and some videos.

I was recovering them with RecoverMyFiles but I lost some files.

dzo, if I install another ROM that not use MTP will we have problems?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Repeal:
I upgraded from 2.04 to 3.1 with a clean install (triple wipe and /system format) and it's stability is similar to 2.04. That is awesome, fast and reliable.

Little off topic : Guys I've a disturbing sound when I use headphones. I tried 3 of them but still sounds like mono and disturbed. When I switch stereo to mono there is no sound both sides. Some guy said send to service. Do I need to dlload?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] harry051289:
Hi Dzo this is my trouble

3.0_beta2_update1b = Wifi not worked (Can't turn on) , gallery worked

3.1 = wifi on (wifi worked), gallery get stuck and reboot

I try to wipe and everything worked. But after I restore my app use titanium backup again. It's happening again. Always get stuck in gallery

but overall thank you Dzo for new update :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rimsilva:
I don't know if it's possible to identify where the problems are, but since version 2.11 update1 I'm:

- Unable to pair to Bluetooth Car phone kit (and sometimes others devices, example NOKIA phones);

- Unable to use Ndrive 11 (exit after ~20 sec.);

- Some instability to connect to wifi networks (ZON hotspots and Wpa/wpa2 networks).

Nobody else with similar problems?

P.S. I decided to use Quikpic and give up about Gallery....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] VuDuCuRSe:
Had two quick-reboots since I flashed 3.1. One yesterday and one a few moments ago.

The thing is... I compared the files on Notepad++ and they match.

Yesterday's log has a 16May-17:19 time-stamp and the today's has 15May-10:36.

On both crashes the phone was lying idle.

Using v3.1 and so far perfect. Thanks dzo.

Is there a way to mount both internal & external sd card as USB storage simultenously?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jonykapa:
I can't connect to any ZON or FON@ZON router, I have the AP saved in settings and it just doesn't connect at all and if the AP isn't saved, the phone saves it but doesn't connect too. What do I need to do to make a log of this? The same as a crash log (instructions in first post)?

Version 3.1

Thanks for the hard work :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mittalmailbox:
I think u mean HSDPA ; our phone don't have HSPA+

With 3.1, the Wifi doesn't connect to my AP again. I applied update.martin and weirdly, now Wifi seems to behave as intended. It finally stays connected during sleep and I can surf after a wake.

I think that's intentional.

Exactly the same here :(

Hello,

I've installed 3.1 today (with cache and dalvik wipes) and I think there are not big problems.. but I've noted that the phone kind of heats a lot when boots ..someone else have this problem?

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
That won't work, 2.0.4 uses a 3.6.35 kernel and the old wifi driver has a different interface (wext rather than 80211) so it's not simple to get it working. I did spend some time trying and it will load but crashes soon after.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
Dude the problem is poor data connections, Facebook app has tried and retried many many times to sync some data (notifications enabled?) and had trouble.

This could be caused by several things - mobile data disabled? or enabled but not connected for some reason? Or Facebook mirror server is having trouble?

If you freeze facebook and do the same test, it should be much better. Once confirmed, check how much sync you do via facebook, you may be too aggressive if you have poor 3g reception.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] JaRo1:
Mobile data default off

Hello DZO.

Please, Can you change default value of mobile data connection to off ?

Many peoples (as I known) activate mobile data only if need it and then deactivate it.

Eg. I intensively use WiFI connection but mobile data rarely. Cost of mobile internet connection is high in our country (and we have FUPs). When I activate mobile data then it costs me every day 25Kč (~ 1 euro) (FUP 25 MB). If I wipe data/do factory reset and install new version of Aurora it automaticaly connect to mobile internet. I deactivate mobile internet immediately but I have to pay 1 euro.

Now I do Aurora upgrades with old (blocked) SIM card. After set mobile data to off then I change SIM card back. It is annoyingly.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
changing default data connection setup affects lots of people..

i, for one, do not want this default to be changed..

in ur case, why dont u simply remove sim card while upgrading aurora, and switch to wifi connection before re-inserting sim card?

after all, its ur own responsibility to maintain network connectivity (or not)..

I agree with this. It is simplier for people that wants it to be enabled, just to enable it, but for us who dont need this, remove sim, disable data, instert sim and if some time forget to remove sim, extra charge...

I don't want to limit the rom. I only want change default value in menu. Every one can swith mobile data to on or off in menu. But default value on is agresive for my wallet.

i completely disagree with this argument, imo the data connection should be optional as many people don't have a data plan. it's easier for who has a data plan to pull notification bar and press a button than remove SIM, disable data, restart phone, insert SIM again for who hasn't a data plan. i have a data plan but many people don't
