Wow, huge wishlist and i actually like all of the stuff in there but how the hell is dzo going to make all of those stuff ALONE? People with knowledge have to help him...

I would like to add to the wishlist:

-Lockscreen <<press search button>> open flashlight like miui one(definitely awesome and usefull!)

and of course i would like to ask from dzo to focus on performance and battery mostly and then appearance,options and customization.

PS: Great job dzo, we all really appreciate that you put time in this without being paid or something, good job my friend keep up!

I think you guys should make a separate thread for your custom roms.. Seriously they make reading this topic a lot harder... :p
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] That-Guy:
Personally I think if you want all them features you should wait for CM9 to be ported.

I actually like this ROM without all the extras as its closer to AOSP.

Things like Theme Choosers and other mods/apps should be left for ROMs like CM9/MIUI.

This is my personal opinion :)

Great, 1.8 wifi connects automatically to a remembered Wifi.

BTW, can someone point me where the bootanimation.zip is located? Thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] spirosbond:
It is at the .cust_backup/image/cust_data/elisa/ee/media

but in order to modify it you need to modify the cust.img file. See this topic.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kostasvr:
Thats odd. here have a look at this:

Only way to go at this location with ES explorer is by changing the home directory from the settings to "/" (without quotes).

EDIT: Oops, sorry for the big resolution :/

EDIT 2: Its not on the SDcard, its in internal memory!

What bootanimation?

Personally I'm trying to make a bootanimation for dzo's Aurora ICS here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=22842446#post22842446

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] alex1301:
A new bootanimation has to be copied into /data/local. When there is a New bootanimation, there is no need to delete the old one in the cust.img. when you place one in local, the one in the .img is a alternative to the new one.

When we are on a call, and select speaker, the sound is very very low!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Loureiro:
I believe there are some issues with back-speaker, cuz sound is crystal clear when is not played through that bloody speaker.

btw, Dzo you're unstoppable... Thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
Yeah, I agree with you... Sound is perfect, and sound on speaker is perfect too... However, is very low :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pezzku:
And after how many reboots is that? For me its behaving the same as before.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] r1c4rd0:
mine and my girlfriend speaker sound is horible wen in low volume, we can notice some glishes distortion noises, like full bass distortion... but wen in headphone there is another total different story, sound is perfect and clean

how did you install your version?

i installed mine from original huawei 2.3 site and stock kernel.

do you use some other 2.6.35 kernel different from huawei original kernel?

could i go from MIUI 2.2.17 kernerl ret4rt 2.6.35.7-perf direcly to aurora ICS?

my screen touch is jumppy and i could only fix it with miui room in x5setting but in this one its bad, jumppy.

thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
As you said, I installed from that MIUI with that kernel, everything went good!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] trocLas:
Did you cleared the Data/Cache/Dalvik Cache after you flashed the ROM? Try to download the ROM again and flash again. Maybe the zip file of the ROM you downloaded is corrupted.

--- EDIT ---

@dzo, sometimes that lag (just a little bit) when scrolling and that was solved with X5 Settings in other ROMs. Is there any possibility for you to include a functional X5 Settings in the next release? I believe everybody would be thankfull.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
before and after, it's better..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Jacky444:
Thank you very much. I will report bugs as i find them
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] faekplastik3s:
Thanks for the great work, dzo! I hope you get the camera working, as it seems you are ironing out most of the kinks now.

This is more of a curiosity thing, but is there any way to check for sure if HW acceleration is active? I ask this because I get smoother transitions with your ROM than with previous ICS ROMS, yet they all claimed they had HW acceleration working...

Are there any other optimizations on the way for this device, or is this as smooth as ICS is gonna get? Also, are you planning to update the ROM version to 4.0.4? Thanks again :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] greddyrx7:
Nope the distortion is still there! At low volume..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ooie:
I played 3 different songs at low volume and I'm absolutely sure there's no distortion. Used UberMusic if that matters.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] crispybbq:
Excellent!

1.0 was nice, but it appears the major issues I had have been fixed in 1.1. Trying it now. :D

Srsly, this is almost ready for day-to-day use, except the camera of course. Excellent work! Now where did my debit card go... ^_^
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ooie:

The only problem now is camera!

The SD Card mount problem disappeared (I believe so), I have no "crackling and distortion while playing ringtones or music through the speakers".

Everything is fine! :)

The ROM is running at max freq. = 800GHz, or overclock is enabled by default?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] genti7:
how is the touchscreen on atmel screens? is it too much sensitive like the official 2.3.5 has anyone with atmel touchscreen tried?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Darksage07:
just a question in 1.1 adb is working ? I've tested version 1.0 and looked great but without adb working its a bit useless for me :(

But thanks a lot Dzo by your work
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] trocLas:
I have atmel touchscreen and for me the touchscreen works fine. In official 2.3.5, my touchscreen did not suffer from extreme sensitivity, so I don't know how it will behave in your phone..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] greddyrx7:
Yeap you are right! My fault!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] genti7:
Man seriously watching dzo do so many great things for this phone makes you think how can only one man make such a better and awsome work on a rom than the whole huawei company did giving us a rom full of bugs. Well done dzo i think they should fire of all them all and hire you.

hmmm thats strange can you post the exact name of you atmel touchscreen looks like there are more than one atmel touchscreens then
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] trocLas:
I can't access to Projectmenu in order to say what is the exact name of the screen. But, just to clear things out, when you say the screen is "too much sensitive", what do you mean?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] genti7:
with 2.3.5 official, touchscreen became extremely sensitive sometimes it went crazy by selecting things that you dont even touch, anyway does haptic feedback works fine on you?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] trocLas:
That did not happened with my phone with 2.3.5 official.

Regarding haptic feedback, it doesn't work in my phone (thats not a huge problem for me, so its fine).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] genti7:
thanks for your help man i guess ill have to try by myself and see but sounds like when he gets the camera working this will be an amazing rom for daily use.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
So try it and gives us your opinion.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
adb works fine in 1.0 and 1.1 but for windows you may have to update the adb driver to recognise the device id (12d1:9025).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] trocLas:
dzo, regarding mtp mode, do you know what to do in order to Windows 7 recognize the device?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] r1c4rd0:
yes, i cleared everything.... and installed many times... as says it is because of the kernel.

i will try installing it from MIUI 2.2.17 kernel ret4rt 2.6.35.7-perf and try...

we all wish DZO could include in his room x5 settings. i´v asking it for some time, anyway a new kernel will be good.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
Has anyone just dropped the X5 apk into /system/app and tested that it works?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
This ROM comes with it's own kernel, no other one will work yet. X5 settings really isn't much use because the kernel interfaces for the settings it uses are no longer there.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
That's what i thought..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] INSGDT:
Just a few things I've noticed:

1) Relatively high battery drain on this ROM. On MIUI, Oxygen and CM7 I was getting about 2 days on a charge. With Aurora 1.7 this has been reduced to about 1 day, if that. This is my main annoyance with this ROM, otherwise it it is just as usable as the other more mature ROMs for this phone.

2) The Setting - Battery - Battery Usage data does not seem to be available.

3) Settings - Language & Input - Text to Speech Output - Listen to an example, always displays "Unfortunately the Google text to speech engine has stopped". Is this a symptom of an underlying issue with the engine itself?

4) Where are the settings for controlling the CPU govenors?

5) The backlight control still seems to be a little eratic. With the control turned to manual, the backlight level was still bouncing around.

Otherwise, a huge amount has been achieved in a short time with this ROM. Well done DZO.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dp42:
Using 1.8 loaded via 5.5.0.4

B522 official Huawei update.

Sound on the speaker is still terrible for me. Scratchy, crackly, and a loud hiss when the volume of music is turned down low.

It sounds to me like a sampling rate incompatibility or something similar.

Via headphones seems to be absolutely fine.

Loving your work DZO!! Many thanks from a fellow Kiwi!! :-)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Loureiro:
IMO, when this speaker issue gets fixed, It would be the top ROM for U8800.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
I have absolutely no problem with sound quality, but volume is too low when using headphones... I mean, not too low that I can't hear anything, because I can, but it's much lower than CM7 and MIUI on .32 kernel.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dp42:
Definitely!!

The UI was a big laggy for me in past versions (1.6, 1.7), but it seems to be very much improved in 1.8.

And if USB DAC gets enabled in ICS, I wouldn't need a separate mp3 player (more accurately "ogg and FLAC" player - Cowon D2+ ;-) ).

Sorry for being OT, but if you feel the same, please vote up the issue by starring it!!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] trocLas:
That doesn't happen to me. I am testing the sound with headphones right now and it is pretty loud.

And the sound from the back-speaker is with good quality too.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dp42:
Just out of interest, which Huawei .35 2.3.5 kernel/update did you load? B516, B517, B522, B526?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
I always use beta 1 of official ROM, because of unlocked bootloader, not sure with version number that is though...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] spirosbond:
Yes mine too. I use playerpro and the sound is perfect either way. Why is this phone so weird... :confused::confused:

EDIT: 522->MIUI .35->Paradise
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Loureiro:
try some ringtones, like playa... you will notice that defective sound ONLY through back-speaker.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Even with full volume, that ringtone, as all the others, plays with no distortion with both headphones and through phone's speakers... I guess, like screens, there is also different sound hardware in different

U8800 :-)

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dp42:
I wonder if people with NO speaker sound issues could post what type of screen they have (either synaptics or amtel). And vice versa, people WITH sound issues, post what type of screen you have.

It may, or may not be related, but I'm just curious to see if the audio hardware changed at the same time the screen did.

If you are unsure about which screen you have you can find out by downloading the Elixir2 app.

Then go to Information --> Input devices --> More information. Use the arrow keys until you get to 'synaptics' or 'amtel'.

Cheers. :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
If you're getting bad battery life you can do the following from a terminal to try to help figure out the problem:

su

dumpsys batteryinfo > /sdcard/b.txt

b.txt will have lots of information about the battery, most important is probably the wake locks, this is an app keeping the device awake.

I think there is a general problem with battery life in ics, my nexus s only lasts a day too.

Hope this helps.

I also take a look at the logcat during a minute that my phone was locked, but I couldn't make anything of it... just many "rpc_handle_rpc_call..." and "xdr_std_msg_send_call..." . I can pm them to you if you want...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Unrealized:
Attention Saunalahti users!

Since changing ril when the phone is on causes problems (at least for me) you can also change the ril in build.prop.

Possible fix for the APN problems/connectivity problems:

Edit build.prop and change rild.libpath to /system/lib/libril-qc-qmi-1.so. Then reboot.

After this the phone will say no service, but internet and calls work. Signal bar works as well so its just cosmetic :P maybe dzo can do something about it :) (unless qualcomm's ril is propietary?)

Hope this works for others. I dont know if dzo cares about us since its not listed as a bug, hope so.

I consider it much better, but I don't like very much when listening to music... it's not necessary to be very laud (maybe volume at 30/40%) to have some distortion, maybe needs a good sound manager to improve quality sound!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dp42:
Yip. Can definitely confirm that when playing an .mp3 file, the sound is fine.

When playing an .ogg or .flac file it's horribly distorted. YouTube is also distorted.

Does this mean it's a codec issue?

Playing ogg or flac via headphones is fine though. Very odd.

Btw, ringtones are encoded in .ogg also, as far as I can tell.

For now, i have just one question because i've seen this in the wishlist - Adding the x5 settings like the one in miui rom (solved), and because i was a miui rom user, could anyone explain me how can i change the governor and frequencies in this rom?

Thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cokratex:

It is moved to the phone app. Open phone and press settings button -> settings.

I don't know why they moved it really, easier when everything is in one place.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
DZO already said that x5 settings does nothing with the kernel on this ROM, so no x5 settings unless dzo or someonelse writes a new app to interface with this new kernel.

To change cpu governor and frequencies just install setcpu or some other app like that.
