i don't seem to have that low volume issue, i think the audio in this ROM is excellent, with or without headphones. i usually listen to music on my phone and i have a clear and pretty loud sound, maybe there are some audio hardware differences with some phones. Hope anyone can confirm this
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
I can confirm that some songs/videos the volume is ok, but youtube videos, for example are much lower with headphones comparing to .32. And with most songs, in 32 ROMS, at full volume, it even hurts my ears, as the volume is so high, with aurora, full volume is just normal, tending to low sometimes...

Attention, this is only when using headphones, phone speaker is normal.

I know this is not a solution (it's more like a workarround) but have you tried those headphones with a rubber tip like:

http://www.google.com/m/products/ca...a=X&ei=inhsT5vONcmS0QW-xOHEDw&ved=0CD0Q8wIwBQ

I jog a lot and I use one of these and I can't even crank the volume to half because it hurts my ears... actually I'm at the subway right now and I have the vol halved and I can hear everything crystal clear (and there's little to none stuff noisier than a metropolitan :-D

What this does is block almost every sound from the "outside"... not sure that you want that when riding a bike in a public road... I do it when jogging but I always put the volume very low. Can still hear the music + the cars, etc...

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jbarros26:
I think so, dzo tell us when he release the 2.02, if you have time confirm it in a post before. He told he was working in the new kernel, for now I'm very happy with this version, but crazy to see the new release from dzo, maybe tomorrow or something :D

dzo

I am a Saunalahti user that used to have apn:s gone on earlier versions. I just tested to enable both, opl and pnn. And looks like it doesn't anymore lose apn:s. Did restart phone 5 times and no lost apn. I did disable those opl&pnn on version 1.x, and updated to every new version without full factory reset. Now im with 2.02. If someone other saunalahti user would confirm this.

Looks like some changes in code has corrected this problem in some version.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] XphX:
Those are called Inears and they are great for listening to music on the way. Of course what you linked to is cheap and will start hurting after an hour or so (or you get a unwanted feeling of pressure in your ears).

Nevertheless I can recommend Inears in general very much. If you go for Westone or Shure for example, you can get very comfortable Inears that have nothing to do with those cheap ones in terms of comfort and sound quality.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Triflot:
With fear of getting too off-topic, I can highly recommend the cheap, but still high quality, Brainwavz series of IEMs. Some of them are on offer right now at MP4nation.net. Personally, I use a set of Betas and can wear them comfortably for several hours. Excellent value. These have a more "natural" sound, while Alphas have a more boomy, "fun" sound. Search for reviews.

probs with recording effects

Still working with Aurora 2.0 ( more stable then the official 2.3 for me )

just got a question, if you go to the camera app, there you select the movie recording option and for effects you chose for example big eyes. Does the app still crash / stops working with version 2.02? Or is this just my phone?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] M1ST4K3:
Oh, the picture was just an example... I don't own one of those they are from another brand...

But yeah, best way to listen to music... No effects are lost and good bass. You can put the volume down an still hear everything, so no damaged ears. I knew them by earbuds but thanks for the tip, I wanted to buy one pair to listen to music normally and another one for when I jog... I'm always cleaning them, etc... not that higienic... Anyway, it's getting way offtopic, so... ;-)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Phanatic:
I have used ICS since 1.9 and I haven't seen any problems with or without enabling opn & pnn:confused:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jbarros26:
Comon, dzo talk about that on a posts above, I know that was a big deal to read all this thread... Dzo tell us that occupied to much so I think to remove this. That isn't a big problem to be solved rigth now, so don't expect for that. ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
I've put a test build on the download sites, The main changes are that it uses the new GPU drivers (thanks Qualcomm, we love you) and is based on the 404030I CAF release. Composition is now gpu by default.

Attached to this post is a zipped list of all the CAF changes since their last release. Obviously most don't apply to us but it gives you some idea of how much has changed. This means some bugs may be fixed but new ones could appear.

Also attached is a zip of my new wifi driver, it's not an installable zip, just copy the files to /system. It's still not stable but I'd like people to report bugs, the main problem is that it won't connect to WEP networks only WPA. Only install this if you have a WPA network and don't mind the odd reboot. If you get a reboot get the panic log by doing:

su
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 > /sdcard/log

And posting the actual panic part of the log.

Thanks.

Hi dzo

Have you noticed performance improvement with the new GPU driver?

Thanks a lot for this great ROM ;)

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
One thing I've noticed is that if you try to use the time lapse feature in the camera it will crash and won't be usable until you clear camera data.

I've had a look at the google code bug tracker and set it to mail me when people post but I don't have time to go through these issues and sort out which are important. Would anybody like to volunteer to help maintain the bug tracker?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Samsura:
Great!

Installed the new WIFI driver, but it's just the same as the old one..

Works great at my parents dlink router, and my friends dlink router, but on my own, and all the dlink routers at work, i only have internet for about 10 seconds after connection, then nothing... still connected, but no data.. Disable and enable wifi, and i have internet for another 10 seconds... Have had that problem since about version 1.0..(first i tried) Might be a .35 kernel problem though (No wifi problems like this one on .32 kernel, worked great at work then)

I miss surfing internet at work when i'm at the toilet..

But we love you dzo!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] r1c4rd0:
Hi Dzo i dont know why but after install the new test version ui and games felling slower. Then i change the composition from gpu to c2d and it gets much better and smoother after this... I hope it helps you. Congratulations you are the best.

My phone enters in deep sleep without any problem.

Your problem with wifi under sleep can be fixed with a single step.

System settings->wi-fi-> capacitive menu button and enter advanced -> and change the field "keep wi-fi on during sleep"

It seems that u8800's kernel is supported fm.

Could you please include the FM package and see if the fm radio works when you build ics from codeaurora source?

And can you share how to build the rom from codeaurora source? Maybe some of us can have a try.

The following post provides a fm package that supports u8800.

I have tested it on your ics rom.

It really works, although it is just partially working.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] trocLas:
Have you tried to close some applications in the new task manager? Press the Homekey, then the Taskmanager appears, slide the app's to one side and they will terminate. Maybe some is using your phone and doesn't let it enter deep sleep.

If that doesn't work, try cleaning your Dalvik and see what happens. If that doesn't work, I believe only a reflash with all the clears (data/cache/dalvik) will work.

For a while the reboot recovery - reboot phone thing worked but later it got worse and the message 'damaged card' came up. Luckily the card was nearly empty, so formatting it was no big loss. Since then (24h) everything works fine.

maybe the two phones where i instaled this rom are diferent in a good way or i am extremely lucky... dont know and its no usefull now...

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
so you install the new driver, plus the set in build prop and after force the gpu to work. are this 3 steps correct?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] edarr:
what I must edit in build.prop?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] R4DK0:
Before the 2.03 test version, you could edit the "composition" from c2d to gpu.

I already wrote this few pages back, but I will again.

In c2d graphics look like you had a 320x480 display. In gpu graphics, you have the full 480x800 display simply put. I saw this by comparing the graphics from Galaxy Ace (320x480 resolution) and my u8800 with c2d composition.

You probably get better battery life with c2d, but in my case, I bought this phone because of the price (1€ with a contract for 24months 19,9€/month) and a good screen resolution. I also bought Nokia 5800XM for the resolution aswell. That is why my primary monitor has 1920x1200 resolution (I didnt have enough money for a 30" display with 2560x1600). I also had a laptop with 1680x1050 on 15.4" display.offtopic, I know :)

If you use the latest 2.03 you don't need to do nothing...

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] faekplastik3s:
I doubt c2d affects resolution, it probably just makes some apps look more pixelated. Resolution is constant in Android and in the Homescreen and launcher the experience and resolution are the same with either gpu or c2d.

Settings: nothing special, "Run full benchmark"

This is probably my 10th re-flash since 2.02, had so many problems, because I was restoring apps, some were (I guess) not compatible, phone was rebooted in the morning, Play Store (Market) was not working and on and on. This time, I kept this ROM to bare essentials(xda app, benchmark apps, some widgets, 3 games, Opera still does'nt want to work...

* You can download the adreno update from (my) u8800 backup mirror under "ICS Aurora from dzo"

Edit:

On 1.7GHz I get 3675 score, second time 3379 (strange), third time 3424.

I am using Quadrant Advanced version 1.1.6, that a user uploaded on the backup mirror.

This GPS problem is fixed in V2.03_test.

Now, everytime I run a GPS app, the GPS is allways detected and enabled.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] R4DK0:
I agree, it is detected, but I cannot get a hold of a signal. I am in my room but I could get a GPS signal in .32 kernel ROMs and .35 kernel CM7. Tryed with Maps and GPS Test app, I dont even get one satellite locked.

Edit: The icon is always without the dot in the middle. Sometime the dot flashed a few times.

@rcmestrinho

Backup, flash, if it feels better leave it, else restore backup. There are some improvements in benchmarks, but it could be a placebo imo.

I havent used this rom but with your battery issue, from experience with other custom roms, it can jump around for a while. Even today on my ROM it went from like 23 to 4 % in about 2 mins. Best thing is to get a battery monitor so you can read the charge left in the phone, eg : 30/1500.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sanpsa:
There is no battery drain. Its just inaccurate. If you put load on a already low battery, the voltage may drop rapidly thus making insane drops on the battery level...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jegor011:
As I was following the F1 race from Malaysia this morning, I had WIFI turned on, F1 Live Stream app. which keeps the screen on was running all the time, and there was Talk and SMS-s flowing around, and a few phone calls. In three and a half hours of usage like this my battery is on 70%. So, I wouldn't accuse the ROM for battery draining.

I flashed 2.03 test ROM last night without wipes.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jasonak0s:
im not accusing the rom, its just odd that its dropped so fast, without me doing anything.. so if what you're saysing is right then when it drops to let's say 70 percent it will last as it was on 90%?

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sanpsa:
It just is like that. As dzo have explained that huawei did not put any kind of counter to monitor how much power has been used. It only monitors voltage and it can never be accurate. Voltage goes up and down depending on load...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] R4DK0:
Hi! Please look about 10 pages back, dzo wrote that the battery meter is not accurate at all, it is measuring pure voltage, and as you know, if you put a little load it will drop fast.

Yesterday after 10 minute call I had 66% about 30 minutes later I had 68%.

My battery "dropped" 5% in 90 minutes with Wi-Fi ON. I will update this later on. So far its looking very good.
