Hey dzo,

I hope you consider using the Linaro build since there is a massive diffrence in the terms of speed. (Stock 4.0.4=30fps / Linaro 4.0.4=60fps)

For some reason my battery indicator works better now... Maybe it was beeing weird because I resetted the battery stats just before flashing.

BTW: are there any other wifi divers available somewhere, i'd like to test where the problems is with OpenWRT/DD-WRT.

Battery percentage in notification area

Hi,

first of all I'd like to thank the developer(s) for this great ROM.

I'd only like to know where the battery percentage has gone,

that was available in the 3.1.x ROMS?

In System Settings there was an option to enable the displayal of

the battery percentage in the notification area.

Best, Alex

Check system settings -> developer options (free translation, I'm using Finnish language) -> battery percentage.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] skacore:
Hi,

I'm having a problem while installing this rom:

Well I've come from Froyo and I've rooted the phone, installed CWM and did a backup.

Then, I did all the steps (wipe data...)

I tried to install the rom but it didn't pass the boot logo the "IDEOS". So, I tried to do restore of the backup. Once again it did not pass the boot logo

I'm kind of desperate with this. Can somebody help me?

Thanks in advance ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Edufex:
try 3.0.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
You came from official froyo? You should have read first post. You need to update to official gingerbread first, then install recovery then this ROM. For official gingerbread, install beta 1, other versions will lock your bootloader and you'll lose USB storage in pink mode, so recovery installation will require to go through the whole root process and installing root explorer to copy recovery image in the correct folder, etc. If you install official beta 1, you can just go to pink mode and copy the recovery image through the pc, without even having to boot the horrible stock ROM :-)

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] skacore:
What's the difference?

Anyway, it's my bad I was supposed to be on 2.3.5. However I tried Cyanogen 7.2.0 (working on froyo only) and nothing, same boot logo stuff.

Anyone knows where I can get gingerbeard?

---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ----------

You meant 3.0 beta?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
You are in a bootloop because you probably installed recovery 5.5.0.4, which doesn't work with .32 based ROMs, like official froyo and Ezet cm7.2 and others. In a while I'll post a link to stock 2.3.5 beta 1, with unlocked bootloader, right now I'm not at home. In the meantime, in the general section I've already post it there, you can search threads started by me, you'll find it pretty easily I'm sure...

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] skacore:
Ok, many many thanks!

Muito obrigado mesmo! Vou já ver isso ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Here it is, 2.3.5 beta 1

https://www.dropbox.com/s/296p5fq0rfedqkr/Stock 2.3.5 BETA 1 - Unlocked Bootloader.zip

You should follow these general steps:

1 - Install official 2.3.5 (with the link I posted right here, through the usual dload process)

2 - Install recovery: remove sdcard and go to pink mode (vol+/vol-/pwr button), connect usb cable and copy recovery.img (5.5.0.4) to the image folder.

3 - Do all the wipes in recovery: data, cache, dalvik cache, battery stats. I also always format system partition, but this is not needed, as aurora update script does it automatically.

3 - install aurora 4.0 zip through recovery.

Any problem, please post in the general section or pm me.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] skacore:
Once again, thanks! Only one doubt, what is dload process? What I usually do is to put the rom file in the sdcard and the do the "zip install".

Never quiet understand dload process and how can I do it since my sdcard is clean, my phone is clean, where is dload?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
You simply put the file that's inside that zip I linked (its the official ROM update file) inside a folder named dload in the sdcard, them turn off the phone. After that, press and keep pressed at the same time volume up, volume down and power button until the update starts. Then you can release the buttons and wait till it finishes, when it finishes, remove the sdcard, press the same keys until a pink screen comes up, release the buttons and connect the USB cable. In the pc, copy the recovery.img 5.5.0.4 inside the image folder that appears, replacing the default, and that's it. You can now go to recovery and install custom ROMs through zip files

:-)

Sent from my U8800
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ringford:
'dload' process is where you put 'UPDATE.APP' to 'dload' folder on your sd card and your phone will detect that folder automatically when you update your phone (power up + vol up + vol down).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] skacore:
Well I've done that and now I have 3.5 running fine. Guess I should have remove sd card just after the uptade right? Can i root in 3.5?

EDIT: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1420728 found out in that thread how to do it! Thanks again!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
You don't need to root 2.3.5 beta 1 to install recovery, you can just use pink mode... but if you are unsure, you can safely follow that guide, albeit being much more work...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] skacore:
I can't get to pink mode even when removing the sdcard!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
How are you doing it? Also, if you're trying to go to pink mode with dload folder in the sdcard and the sdcard on the phone, it will do the installation of stock rom again, that's why you must remove the sdcard (if you didn't boot in to the ROM and renamed that folder of course)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] wolfgr:
i am very happy to see so many ontopic posts on this dev aurora thread....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Lol... Already told him to move these questions to the general section :( sorry guys
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Triflot:
This is how I install updates:

- put the dload update on the internal SD (and don't have it on the external one)

- turn off device

- remove the external SD

- install the update (B518) by holding vol +, vol -, power

- turn off device after update

- insert external SD

- go to pink screen mode by holding vol +, vol -, power

- copy recovery.img over, wipe data, and install ROM

I don't think I've managed to enter pink screen without the SD card, but could just be me ... skacore, try inserting your microSD card to access the pink screen - though I'd delete the dload folder from it first if you installed it from there.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
I always go to pink mode just removing sdcard and battery, plug the usb cable and quickly do the key combination, never failed me :D but if not done fast, phone just turns on. I don't think sdcard has to be on the phone to access pink mode.

Also, you must delete or rename the dload folder when it's on the internal sdcard, because trying to enter pink mode will start the upgrade again instead. Better to put in in the external, and them remove it...

Anyway, to the general section with this :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Triflot:
Actually, when you have the external sd inserted, the internal dload is ignored when entering the pink/update combo, so no need to delete/rename it.

But yes, agreed. :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Loureiro:
Dzo could you add init.d support to aurora? It would be very useful.

Btw, sorry for the offtopic, I won't do it again!!

About Aurora, so far so good, very fluid, everything I tested is working flawless. Now I'll read more about it, try to improve it.

Just one question: OC is possible?

Thanks ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
actually you should ask generic questions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1579821

and yes, OC is possible in Aurora..

u just need an app, such as no-frills cpu or setcpu, to utilise..

it should be fairly safe to oc to 1GHz or probably 1.2GHz..

higher values have also been achieved by others (up to 1.8GHz) but u have to take the associated risks then..

[edit]

forgot 1GHz is already the default of Aurora.. :)

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Dima_2005:
Hey,

I found some clues about battery-bug I've been complaining about... I only have this issue when something is intensively using 3G or data (don't know which one). Like updating apps from market...

Check the screenshot.

Each drop = about 3-5mins and 20-25% in one time. It is physically impossible for the modem to draw this much power or the memory write, or the CPU...

Funny thing is that the drop doesn't persist when the screen is on (sometimes just a bit), when screen is on, I see the correct rate of battery drop (about 1% per 4mins, or when using data intesively 1% per 2mins).

So I think that some calibration of the battery measurement is off, don't know exactly what, but something tells me there is a bug in there.

Also, the first part (with a lot of spikes) has somewhere equal screen-on time and usage as the second part (with huge drops and long nothings).

Could you have a look at that please?

** And I'll request it again: which files would I have to copy to get the old wifi-drivers, I'd really like to test intensively what goes wrong with OpenWRT/DD-WRT, is it just a small bug in the driver, or just a huge incompability.

Current wifi-issue: connects just fine, works for about 15 seconds, icon becomes gray and stops working.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Loureiro:
Our phone does not have a coulomb meter, so battery level is calculated based on volt measure, makes it very inconstant. Even volt reading isn't accurate, so huge drops may happen.

Regarding to wifi... older driver (from .35 kernel) does not work here. You can try another wpa_supplicant if you're having troubles authenticating through your AP. Links on GENERAL THREAD 1st Post
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Dima_2005:
oow, ok, so it's actually the volt meter starting to act crazy, not depending on the rom? Just a coincidence?

Thanks for the info anyways. Good to know. Maybe it's the battery, I'll try in a few days with another battery to rule out the defective volt meter.

About the wifi driver: didn't know it was incompatible, that was the one I was looking for. Any suggestions what to log for wifi? I'd really like to solve the issue, just don't know where to start, it's probably a small detail (not wpa_supplicant I think - also tried other ones, as it actually connects, authenticates and works for 15sec).

Also, I read disabling WMM on router could solve the problem (although, it will break the 802.11n network at home), I'll try that. Will report back on findings. (If it's WMM then we know where to search for the bug)

Hello dzo,

For the Missing LED Notification after a missed call maybe these commits provide the solution?

from AospX:

frameworks_base commit

packages_apps_phone commit

Also, I tried compiling a kernel with some modifications and the display wouldn't refresh from the Huawei Logo, maybe some kind of hand-off is failing?

Maybe the github kernel source is lagging a bit behind aurora 4.0's kernel?

Thanks for your time and continued support:D

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Migueluxo:
Are you sure that the reboots are caused by the rom? were you running any particular software? Our mobiles are from the same operator, and with v4.0 i have no reboots, and to be fair since the beginning of ics rom i only had reboots when i was doing overclock (higher than 1.0ghz) with every single version. The more overclock i had the more frequent were the reboots, oh and using wierd software too.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
there are some different hardware components used in the same U8800 model, and thus different behaviour could be expected with the same Aurora setup (excluding those ignorant-illiterate-non-advice-taking-self-centred-plain-stupidity-type errors)..

and dzo is trying his best to support all those variations within the same codebase..

for me, im one of the lucky guys like u who never have device-specific problems with wifi or display or else.. probably its just that we have the same hardware spec as dzo..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Migueluxo:
Do you know any software for android that makes a text file from system settings? Maybe I'm not explaining myself correctly... Something like windows system properties ;) That would be interesting, and i think usefull to identify what type of model do we have and what differs from each one.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rockofclay:
So I've been trying out a 64GB SDXC card in the U8800, as there are devices using the same MSM 7230 SOC that support it.

First I tried a stock froyo rom, then gingerbread to no avail. When I tried Aurora ICS I was pleasantly surprised to see that it worked, sort of.

If I boot the phone with no usb cable connected, everything is fine and dandy, it comes up as the correct size under storage, and I can play media files off it no problems. I can even connect it to a computer as mass storage and all is well. If the card becomes unmounted however, if I try to remount it it comes up as damaged. I can then reboot with usb unplugged and it's all dandy again.

If I start the phone with usb in, it comes up as damaged.

I'll post some logcat results later.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Leonida5:
Interesting, i was thinking of buying a 32gb card but if 64gb works than that would be great! Hopefully its not a hardware issue and something that dzo can fix.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] lateris:
I am using dzo's ICS 4.0.4 (4.0) for about a month and I have no problems whatsoever.

Camera and video works perfectly (If you experience problems, try a faster SD card, slower ones cannot keep up).

I have no random reboots.

If you have, you probably have:

- to do a "clean" installation of dzo's ICS wiping everything in data/user/system areas.

- to not overclock your phone above 1.2Ghz (the performance increase is negligible above this).

Bluetooth works perfectly (I am using an external bluetooth keyboard and it works fine, and I've shared many files with other phones).

Wi-fi works perfectly now for all available wi fi APs (In older versions it was kind of difficult to connect to some)

Compass and accelerometer works perfectly.

Battery consumption is very good (not as perfect as some older roms where you could use the phone for about 3 days without a charge, but still very good).

File system works perfectly (I got no problems with the SD card).

Overall, a perfect and very professional job. Huawei owes you a lot of money mr Dzo, and surely they need you on their ranks!
