Thks For ICS Dzo, it´s great!

For now it´s pretty cool some bugs but shure they will be solved, can anyone check if is possible to add a facebook acount? i can´t add the facebook acount!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] coyote1071:
hmm .. .. I have the problem too, but the rom is so good that I can live with that little error .... :))

Can anyone confirm the name of the Kernel that appears in About Phone? It seems like the kernel doesn't flash properly in the build leading to a lot of issues like external sd card not mounting. Gallery doesn't work because of it since it rely on external sd card.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] olfyboy:
This is a common bug in ICS.

...............................................................

edit: BTW, does anyone else experience blurry icons? like the notification icons, loading circles etc? They seem to be somewhat upscaled. this happened after installing v1.2, and it's still like this after upgrading to v1.3.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] trocLas:
The kernel is:

"2.6.35.7-perf

martin@it0044296 #72"

I would advice you to wipe data/cache/dalvik cache and try to flash the 1.3 Version. The SD Card problem is gone.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Sorry, no can do :S

DZO, after the last defconfig update, I get this error when compiling the kernel:

/home/floriano/kernel_huawei/scripts/mksysmap: line 44: ~/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-nm: No such file or directory
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

I will try to update toolchain, because it seems the error comes from here...

EDIT: the problem is not there... I'm out of options, because I'm dumb as a doorknob. I'm sure dzo will post the updated kernel shortly :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Edward Stanbury:
thats okay ill be finished soon to try help out ive just been setting up dev environment on my laptop, anyway good luck man (: thanks for all your work and another thanks to dzo ! this rom becomes better each day !

Forget smartass, use ondemand...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
No, the installed FM app doesn't work with the new kernel but this one does.

It's just the standard CAF FM app and they must have changed the kernel interface. The old one is much better but at least this works. It includes an FM transmitter but that probably doesn't work at all.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Thanks dzo...

When I was trying to compile the kernel it was throwing this:

~/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-nm: No such file or directory

I went to my script and changed the

export CROSS_COMPILE=~/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-nm

to:

export CROSS_COMPILE=/home/myusername/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin/arm-eabi-nm

and it is compiling now, but that doesn't make any sense, does it? I'll see if it throws any errors...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kenblat:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
When I compile the 3.0.8 kernel, if I push the boot.img i've created, wifi no longer turns on :(

Damn, I'll give up on this all compile business :D

EDIT: only one very very small detail dzo, if we reboot the phone with manual screen brightness, instead of automatic, when we turn on, softkey light is off. To turn them on, I must change brightness mode again.

With antutu, 1.2GHZ, I get 3183, not that i care about benchmarks...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] edarr:
it is with fps locked

edit: my cpu at 1.8ghz I get a total score of 4257, but it is possible to get a higher value, because my database IO get worst

even with kernel 3.0 V2 I cannot connect to my pc
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Triflot:
Have you transferred the three new libs and the new wpa_supplicant? Dzo's last zip contains them (and is flashable in CWM). I flashed it right after the ROM on a clean install and it seems to work well!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
That's because I had to change the initrd in boot.img, if you extract the boot.img from the installable zip and use that one it will work.

There's probably a setting in frameworks_base for the softkeys, I'll check.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
2840 on Antutu with 245-1Ghz/conservative/noop.

Which is slightly lower than the previous kernel that comes with the ROM - got 2873.

Just slightly lower on every aspect.

Also some camera weirdness, had to clear camera data and seems OK now.

Not sure if it's releasing the camera hardware though, the phone is starting to heat up after closing the camera.

Edit: false alarm, camera working fine after data cleared. Phone did heat up, but cooled down fine after a few minutes.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Oh, I see... i was using an old one, from the 2.3.5 times :D

Thank you DZO!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Mr.Moriarty:
Dear Dzo , I know it is not important issue, But could you also increase the light intensity of softkeys? Is it possible? Thank you very much for great work.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
That is one I can't agree :-) it's so good as it is right now, at night is easy to see, during the day, they aren't even needed... also that decreases battery use, so why increase it?

BUT if you really want to increase it.. decompile framework-res edit the file /values/arrays.xml

with higher values.. not sure what values.. but that's what you need to edit.. compile framework-res again and voila :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kenblat:
so this is result by kernel 3.x V2? Pls provide more details and if possible screenshots will be the best...

Anyway, 4K antutu make another dual-core or even quad-core cry out loud!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
I agree, it's perfect as is for me.

But I wonder if this is similar to the headphone volume thing - are different devices showing different brightness levels? I doubt it, but just putting it out there ;)

---------- Post added at 03:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------

hmm 255 is suppoosed to be the highest value, there must be something else that's either filtering it, overriding it, or splitting it. I have seen a buggy CM7.1 ROM with values as high as 1024 but nothing made a different - 255 and above was "on", 254 and lower was "off". But in a MIUI ROM, 0 was off and anything else was on, with 255 as the max.

Has anyone ever seen an adjustable auto-brightness implementation where the backlight buttons could be adjusted, and it actually made them adjust? Coz I haven't.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Bruno Soares:
Hello friends someone can help me or indicate how to do this to reset ROM applications with Titanium Backup?

I am not able to .. titanium says it installs but does not appear installed applications!

thank you

Sorry for my bad writing.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
I don't think you can restore system apps using Titanioum - it's only the data.

Maybe I'm wrong.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Bruno Soares:
I did not mean app `s system ...

I mean the app `s had another ROM and made backup ... now wanted to replenish this ROM ...

Type dropbox, CPUSpy ... you know ... user's app ...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tcm9669:
Probably you are using an old version like I am (I'm using the 3.x version) .. it does not fully work with ICS.. it does not install apps.. it only restores data on ICS.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Bruno Soares:
Ok, thank you.

I'll try to put a newer version to see if I can recover the backup of the apps that I have ..

EDIT:

Thanks for the tip Tcm9669.

Titanium I upgraded and decided ... able to replenish all the apps that had backed up
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] geocheats2:
I am on 2.04 I have at least one force reboot per day. It can happen any time eg after I play a game or when I let it to rest after browsing on WiFi.

I fully wipe every time I install a new rom/update

I use the old wifi driver

Also sometimes when I try to make a call if can be heard from the other person but I can't hear him ,i reboot to fix that.

It will actually dim the buttons, the brightness is set here:

https://github.com/dzo/kernel_huawei/blob/master/drivers/leds/leds-msm-pmic.c

On line 140.

If you change the 63 to a smaller no it will increase the max brightness. I could change it to 31 or 47 if people like. 63 gives you 5 brightness levels - 0,63,126,189,252 so try putting these numbers in the autobrightness table.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tcm9669:
Anyway of combining the keypad value variable with the screen backlight variable (so we get variable keypad brightness) with auto brightness.

I do know C, so I can understand what is happening there.. but this is a major project which I'm not familiar with.. I would give it a go and try to do it.. but I need to know where the screen brightness function is..

IF you think it's possible and can tell me where I can locate it, I am willing to give it a go. Thanks

Results with the new 3.0.8 V2 kernel:

-ROM is noticeably faster

-WiFi reception is better for me than on the old kernel (orld and new driver), but still worse tham on official GB. Also it's more unreliable, works one moment and the next it takes minutes to load Google Reader.

-Camera doesn't work

-Gallery doesn't work

-Video playback doensn't work properly.

I did not do a cache/data wipe. Should I?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] M1ST4K3:
You definitely do... And try to clear data from apps not working.... Here everything is working cool with 3.0.8 ;)

dzo, thanks! :D

EDIT: I meant cache + dalvik cache wipes only... No need to format /data. Just clear the data of individual apps that are broken

Is the USB mass storage working on yours? I'm on 3.0.8 kernel v2, it doesn't seem to work. My phone keep showing USB connected, then after 4 or 5 seconds, reconnecting again, and it repeats without failing. It's as if I plug it in and plug it out and plug it in....

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
I've noticed the screen brightness will often stick on high, I have it set to auto and it works fine, but every now and again it'll go high for some legitimate reason but then fail to go back to the lower values.

Anyone else?

Disabling auto mode and then re-enabling it fixes it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
Have anyone else adb device not found error?

After changed to 3.08 kernel, adb cannot find the device.

I can still connect from recovery mode though.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
This is actually how it's supposed to work, the screen gets brighter but not dimmer. Just switch the display off and on again to go to lower brightness. Some ROMS allow the brightness to reduce but not this one.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Charles_wilton:
a big bug： we can not mount the sd card on computer(verson 2.04 or any 35kernel ics ) after we tested the 3.0.8 kernel.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
Thanks for the info but just so I'm clear - if I'm in sunlight it brightens, but as I walk inside it should remain on full power?

Does it perhaps reset after the screen is locked?

Just wanting to make sure I understand correctly :)

Edit: yeah that's exactly what happens. As you unlock, it appears to renegotiate the correct brightness level (maybe, could have been a trick of the eye, or maybe it just drops to a predefined level), but it is definitely back to a lower brightness level.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] M1ST4K3:
Exactly... If it brightens up, unless you turn off the screen, It will remain bright, never dimming.

dzo, I find 3.0.8 a great kernel... The only problem is the sdcard not mounting (didn't try v2, so I think you fixed it...)

Battery-wise it's a great improvement. The phone sleeps much better, without weird wakelocks...

There's only one problem but exists with both kernels... My sdcard speed is very low... Can't download a file faster than 50kb/s, frames are constantly skipping when I'm listening to music... Don't know if those are related, but when I increase the io buffer to 2048kb the frame skipping is improved, but not the download speed... (I tested the download speed with both drivers, io schedulers, 4 different routers) and I got a ASUS Transformer that works at full speed (with ICS) in all of them...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
Dzo, i don't know about other languages, but about portuguese, it's better to give us the strings for translation. I was committing now some changes for your github, because the CM9 translations are all in Portuguese-brazilian!

Regards
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] M1ST4K3:
Yep... I translated the drawer and noticed that... Didn't have the time to go through everything... The worst parts is the "Activar / Desactivar" Switch labels... As the words are big, the button get's big and gets on top off the title of the button, like:

Blueto... [Activar / Desactivar]

Instead of:

Bluetooth [On / Off]

And that's the main reason I do not use portuguese... That, and the other translations are in brazilian...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
Ok, so put On Off and don't forget to Pull request! (If you don't know how to do it, please tell me where the drawer strings are and i'll do it!)

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Barleyman:
A minor complaint: Rom does not have a default ringtone or notification set. In other words, you can miss calls until you go and change it.

..

Another more technical question. It is possible to trick android think all national operators are "your" operators so you do not get roaming status with virtual operators (saunalahti etc). You can find thread by Googling for universal MVNO fix. So far so good, but would it be possible to read virtual/actual operator pairs from an external text file? That way it'd be possible to expand the list over time without being rom-specific. As far as I know Java (dalvik) tries hard to prevent you from accessing filesystem directly from framework.jar
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] M1ST4K3:
Those are not on the drawer... Every switch in the Settings Menu is like that... I didn't put any Ligar / Desligar in the Notification Drawer... I'll check the source now and try to tweak the Portuguese.

---------- Post added at 11:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 AM ----------

Well, I'm not sure I'll pull the request... I found the "Activar" and "Desactivar" strings changed them to "On" "Off" so they are smaller, but It's not portuguese... I don't know if everyone is okay with it... If it is ok, I can pull it...

No wonder you can't sleep... after saying stuff like that, who would? :p

So, you just learnt how to compile a kernel, you're stuffing and recompiling every change you can imagine or put your hands on and you're uploading almost every single change you make... on a kernel released a couple of days ago!

Your U8800 probably doesn't even know how it feels to enter deepsleep state for more than a couple of hours straight on the last days and still, you tagged this as "stable for daily use"? OMG!!! :eek:

Did you know Christians believe that people go to a really, realy bad place after they die, for doing stuff like? :D

EDIT: Also... just so you remember, on one of the latest official releases from Huawei, it took some weeks for users to noticed that they were missing calls and that it was a problem on the ROM. This forums don't have a Hate meter, only a Thanks meter (unfortunately maybe), but you can imagine what could happen if something like that would happened on your compiler-happy releases and, worst of all, how it could affect dzo's image, by having such things released on his thread. ;)
