is your radio app working?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] darkfiremark:
iam still hearing some static noise in speaker when talking with someone
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] XphX:
Please do not preinstall this on your ROM, DZO. This is an app that changes the frequency response of the output. If that is preferred by anybody they can install this themselves. Aurora should stay clean and not implement changes like this. Especially when the changes are mostly for the worse, like this app. It might sound better to you kostasvr, but that does not apply to everybody.

If you want better sound, buy better earphones and do not rely on ****ty Dr-Dre-Beats-earphones or their software.

By the way, now it seems that your ROM is ready for every-day-use without any major bugs. I guess I'll switch to it within the next days. Are there any major updates coming up in the next versions, DZO?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fri13:
I can confirm bug what cause any video (files or youtube) looking and sounding terrible with or without 2D acceleration. Videofiles playing in 1:1 size looks as well bad and sound is distorted.

All three full wipes and upgrade from 1.12a -> 1.13
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Munich089:
the fm radio does not work for me too.

it does not crash, it simply remains silent.

poweramp I will now delete and reinstall it, maybe that will help.

How can I delete and reinstall the power control widget?

I'm not alone :)

DZO

Please do it again as with 1.11, there is everything (except for automatic wireless) works.

Aurora V1.13

great work dzo...thx

.)noise in speaker when talking to someone

.)FM doesn't work
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] JaymzBond:
+1 to that

but the graphics look faster on launcher, settings app ,etc. So i think you are on the right way , it just needs a little more investigation
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] FabioAreia:
Sorry for some reason i didnt flash succesfully 1.13 (yesterday i was tired)

im flashing again right now.

i will report later if fm workd

edit:

yes fm app doesnt work

Lane splitter works :D very nice :D

Testing GPS now

Edit2:

Gps works now.

I miss the radio fm
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] anjo88:
thats right fm radio simply stay silent don´t crash

---------- Post added at 06:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 PM ----------

try to use it to see if u listen anything (vais ver que não dá som nenhum)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] FabioAreia:
yes you are right

This version is wonderfull because gps and some games like lane splitter.

DZO please give us a radio fm again.

you are the man.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rimsilva:
Have you tried?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
DZO, please, improve headphones sound volumes and bugs... I'm an avid headphone user, in my hikes, I'm always playing music and in my car travels, audiobooks. I'ts a shame to randomly not having sound when playing music, after receiving calls or sms and constantly having to press the volume keys every time that happens to have the sound back... Rebooting the phone fixes it until the next sms or call. This is very annoying!

And the multimedia sound volume, compared to .32 ROMs with headphones on, is just patethic, especially when playing youtube clips... In phone calls, the volume is lound and clear though. I'm sure dzo will fix all of this.

I also get some ANR (app not responding) fc's from time to time, especially when loading stuff from the internet, like in gmail or in browsers...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jegor011:
All I can say for now is that it flies. I use Nova launcher and Phase beam live wallpaper and the transition effects are smooth as butter. I've tried some youtube videos and couldn't see any artifacts. Not that they are not there, just not that annoying.

iGO is working now, but, for the moment, I think that it is not very precise. This needs some more serious testing though (on my side).

I support those who say that the sound should be louder in media playing.

Now some "borderline" off topic question. Why is there no famous ICS live wallpaper in this ROM?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] M1ST4K3:
Damn... You guys are all ask ask ask... Give dzo a break... Report stuff as a bug, and not as "please, please dzo, it's annoying this, that... ".... Now the sound is not loud enough.... Are you ever happy?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] FabioAreia:
Hotmail working now

Very thanks DZO.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] yod123:
Just flashed. v1.13 Extremly cool firmware! Dzo, thanks a lot.

Already found 2 bugs:

1) Radio don't work.

2) When i connect phone to headfones, turn on music, interface becoming quite slow...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fr0stebyte:
Minor bug, on lockscreen you can unlock with the more options button, the one next home.

You can pull notifications aswell
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] aylanc3:
unlocking bug

Hi, can anyone of you guys try this:

While at the unlock screen touch the menu button.

On my device; it unlocks the phone :confused:

One other question:

I have 1.11 installed. to upgrade to 1.12 or higher, do i have to do the same as I did for 1.11? (clockwork mod- insall update from zip etc.)

Thanks in advance for your answers and a

VERY BIG THANK YOU to DZO.:D !!!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
What? I specifically stated two bugs the Rom has, isn't this what helps dzo? If we don't tell him which bugs are affecting and would like to be looked at, how is he supposed to resolved them?

And how on earth does your post contribute to this thread? If you don't have any bugs that you would like to be solved just don't post anything...

Sent from my U8800
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] maneet21:
Yes me too
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] xann89:
The pull notifications on lockscreen isn't a bug, it's an ICS feature. ;)

A bug I found, auto-rotate still doesn't work at Homescreen/Desktop.

Apart from that, after having 2D enabled, some games starting to work great especially Shogun. Great work dzo! =D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] prmsc:
dzo you're the man!

keep going with this excellent rom!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] M1ST4K3:
Yep, same procedure... Do not forget to "wipe cache partition" and "advanced"-> "wipe dalvik cache" in recovery after flashing.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Xbdlegend:
i'll ask again xD

override mac address will fix my 0 mac address??
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] snake_boss:
Hi dzo, your upgrade on Mac address works, finally can use your magnificent ROM.

Thanks for the update (almost exclusive to me :D)

Right now testing it and so far it's the same problems stated by other people.

Although I can't play music on any of the players, and the gallery doesn't find my pictures!

But nevertheless, the best ROM so far!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ArbiterGR:
Welcome to the club :P No matter what i do, media scanner performs eratticaly. I even tried what someone here suggested, to wipe the sd and try to check if there are any corrupted files in it, but still no go. The problem is not with the sd. I did restore my miui nandroid backup and the media scanner works as it should.

This is the only thing that holds me back.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] yannn007:
It was same at me (SD was mounted properly and root explorer could browwse it but gallery and music didnt see my photos/songs) but it all got fixed after a reboot :) Try wiping gallery data and see if it works
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Edward Stanbury:
its a setting in the build.prop its fine it can be disabled
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fri13:
That is a feature, because you have only lockscreen with a slide.

There are few different ways to open a Android phone

1) No lock screen: This is great for touch screen only with capasitive touch buttons or just the touch screen like Google Nexus has. As you need to have a finger touch (or other small electricity) so that buttons will react. But with most Android smartphones, you need first to press a power button or lock button to open the display.

2) Lock screen with a slide: This is great for those who keep their phone in pocket where they have their hands most of the times or who want to have quick access to camera if they don't have dedicated camera button or they use alternative lock screen with widgets. This mode allows access to notification bar and so on even to settings among camera and unlocking the screen. This is not for a security, it is only against mistaken touches!

3) Lock screen with a pattern: This is for those who want to use 3x3 grid to make a custom line order joining points (once every point). It can be quicker than typing a PIN code or password. This is for security as well but to give same time a easy access without using a PIN code or password what usually is a same with every service (1234 or 0000) by many people. The flip side is, that some situations others can see your pattern from screen reflection how your finger has moved on screen. It is not so easy to find out such just by lookiging screen because usually person wipes screen after unlocking it so pattern is smudged (partially) away.

4) Lock screen with a PIN-code: This is a 4-17 long PIN code with numbers, different from SIM card PIN-code. Security is good but usually people use same PIN code everywhere (credit cards etc or then birthdays etc). Good side is that 4-17 gives enough security and can be easy to remember.

5) Lock screen with a password: This is for those who want to use alphabet passwords (does not accept special characters or spaces) and it needs to be 4-17 letters long like PIN-code. Security is good but as PIN-code, people use names or other usual words. (http://xkcd.com/936/)

3-5 are for security, 2 is more for fancy effect and is very well accepted to have access settings and notifications trough that, as sliding a finger to open lock screen isn't cracking a security, it is just a sliding a finger over a display. So if wanted security, choose 3-5. If quick access to phone and widgets, then 1) and if wanted fancier way and quick access to camera then 2).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] M1ST4K3:
What is the file system you have on your sd card? Could you tell the capacity and class? Have you tried swaping from NTFS / FAT16 / FAT32 ? (Just to be sure...) Oh, and do a FULL format (not quick) because it will check for damaged sectors in the process (and clear every value to 0).

It works really fine here...

There's only a bug, but I'm not sure if it's from this router (Zyxell... yes, it s*cks) or in any router (although my ASUS TF works...). Download speeds are very limited... < 50 KB/s... In my PC and TF I get 1 MB/s in the same server... Need further testing...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ArbiterGR:
It's a kingston class 4 microsd card 16gb (14.71 actuall capacity or something like that) and the filesystem is fat32. I'll try to do a full format (i admit i was using the quick format :P) and check again. The strange thing though, is that with MIUI rom, all of my songs and pictures show up correctly, but not with the Aurora ics. Anyway i'm going to try what you said and i'll report back :P
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Xbdlegend:
I used to have "wifi not working" cuz of MIEI = 0 which make my mac address 00:00:00:00:00:00

will v1.13 fix it :))
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] M1ST4K3:
Do that... Oh, and btw, can you switch back to bfq (io scheduler) and try? Not sure if it can be related, but is a read operation on the sdcard, so it can be affected...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Cinthiar:
Anyone else had problems with beautiful widgets in 1.13 release? Mine gets stuck in loading widget part when I try to add it on the home screen. Worked good in other rom releases.

Edit : nevermind it was apex launcher bugging the widgets.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] RBwai:
- fm radio does not work

- camera: although zoomed with camera, taken pictures are unzoomed.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] R4DK0:
Reporting (v1.12a with the new boot.img), after 2 days of usage:

Works flawlessly:

-Music player (loud enough for me - louder then stock GB, quality is good)

-FM Radio (WORKS! it has a little of noise, no problem, I am more then happy)

-3G/2G connection (sometimes it just takes some time to switch from 3G to 2G)

-Gallery (I have only 200pictures/videos, works very good, FAST!)

-Wi-Fi (no problems whatsoever - Linksys WRT54GL running DD-WRT)

-Calls are loud and clear

...

Works with bugs:

-Compass (in my room I cannot get it to work it misses by a 45-90° angle, on a bus aswell, it worked quite good in my school)

-GPS (Maps) works in partial, I get about 20meters accuracy on a bus and after a few seconds I get 1100m accuracy, and again about 20meters and so on

Bugs:

-Camcorder, switching resolution from 720p to 480p (D1) causes hotboot, cannot restore it back to 720p unless you put your phone in horizontal position and quickly press where the settings menu is, changing back to 720p in the process.

-I can confirm RBwai's bug, the camera pictures taken are unzoomed

Battery usage: (caution; I need to reset my battery stats to confirm)

Lost 40% of battery in ~1hour of music playing (full volume) with 3G ON and browsing with Chrome Beta, trying out Maps (GPS), max brightness.

The battery was not acting irrational, reporting battery drops of few % a minute, was going down constantly (Temp+CPUPro on desktop for battery info), not acting like in my previous .32/.35 CM7.

USB Tether:

I tried it on my PC, it failed to install drivers for RNDIS out of the box, which worked in .35 CM7. This is for me, atleast, the one of the more important things about my phone, I use(d) it regularly on a daily basis. Will try it again on my netbook.

__________

Bottom line:

None of the bugs (for me atleast) are not critical. I feel that the UI is a bit sluggish (unlocking, menu button, the scrolling itself is very smooth), but I must confirm after I re-flash to v1.13.

Edit:

Minimum system requirements for building ICS are:

dzo, if my PC (Q9550 4x3.4GHz, 8Gb RAM, Win 7 x64, 120Gb SSD, 20Mbps link) is of any help, please feel free to contact me to "help" in any way. I think I will stay with your ROM from now on. But afaik that eclipse will not work on my PC (I cant install more RAM, 4 slots DDR2 only). I worked with eclipse for few hours, with compiling (pre-build) apk's for communication with my arduino board (ADK Mega).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] VuDuCuRSe:
Can someone test WiFi stability by simply pinging the router/ap address and comparing with with pinging another LAN or and WAN address?

For instance:

- both U8800 and my laptop ping the router at 1-2ms.

- U8800 pings the laptop at 100ms-600ms but the U8800 doesn't answer to ping

- laptop pings 192.168.100.1 (cable modem) at 1-4ms while the U8800 pings at 100ms-500ms.

- the same happens when pinging a WAN address like the google dns server 8.8.8.8

Also, using speed test in the laptop maxes the connections bandwidth 6Mbps/1Mbps and has <20ms ping times, while the speed test on U8800 reaches about 3Mbps/1Mbps at >100ms.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] R4DK0:
Ping google.com (same IP as phone and netbook)

-phone, lowest 27ms highest around 210ms

-netbook, lowest 23ms highest 123ms

ping phone->PC

lowest 14ms highest 130ms average about 80ms

ping netbook->PC

all 1ms

ping 8.8.8.8

phone lowest 37ms highest 136ms average about 80ms

netbook all 23ms

ping router

phone lowest 13ms highest 114ms (pretty high, hmm)

netbook all 1ms

Also, router's load (WRT54GL) is about 2-4%, its overclocked at 225MHz.

edit:

I am unable to test speedtest app, because it is crashing, I re-installed it but still (its strange because it was working today). Cant test on my netbook either, no proper drivers, currently at 15/12Mbps, which is slow for me.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
I know they say this and I do have access machines with these specs but it builds fine on my 4G quad core Q9550. The initial build takes a while (not 5 hours though) but if you use mm to build a project after making changes to it, it takes no time at all.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] R4DK0:
I can make you a virtual machine (VMware) with all of my 4 cores, RDP access, just say it :D But if it doesnt take that much time for you, ignore my offer :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jbarros26:
Hi there,

First of all, a big thanks to you dzo, your work is something amazing:D

After a few hours using 1.13 i dont have major problems, the only thing that made me crazy is the fact of all times i using music player and recieve a call and after end the call the music player dont work propely, to ear sound again i have to use vol keys. Or to fix have to make a reboot, but the reboot dont fix for all if i recieve a call, the problem beggins.

Thanks a lot Dzo :-)

Edit : the fmradio dont work, dont make a FC but dont play any sound...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dzo:
Can you try the attached audio_policy.msm7630_surf.so and see if fixes this.

Unzip it and put it in /system/lib/hw/ using adb or a file manager.

Thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sr21:
YES!

Just run the following comands in a app like Terminal Emulator:

su ENTER

setprop persist.sys.wifimac mac_param=11:22:33:44:55:66 ENTER

and your wifi should work now!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] spirosbond:
Just copied this on 1.13, but my player (PlayerPro) keeps stopping. It happened while browsing with google chrome. Haven't tested with notification/call though. I've set the correct permissions and rebooted before testing :(

Edit: Received 2 messages while listening to music and after the notification sound the music continued :) . I've also tested with a missed received call and it also continued well!! The problem is still though while browsing with google chrome or stock browser.

Thanks dzo :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
Hi, sorry for the delay this thread is sooo busy!!

Anyway, gsm is the old "2g" and wcdma is anything else, so yes your setting is right.

Did you get a chance to try on the stock/official 2.3 rom?

If your reception on the "new, faster" SIM is worse, you may well end up with worse speeds overall, and possibly a huge battery drain.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Najnesoog:
I have had problems with Beautiful Widgets from the start. I use the clock widget and it freezes at regular intervals. I have to restart the phone to clear it.

But it seems the problem is not confined to this app. Both au weather and Virgin Mobile data usage widgets freeze at the sane time.

The freezing is most prevalent when the battery is below 30%. Perhaps battery level or power saving mode are factors.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] spirosbond:
I use beautiful widgets also, clock and weather with no problems at all :confused:

Try to clear the app's data from Apps settings and recreate your widget...

Edit: After a day testing, my phone works better with gpu enabled. And i think (based on gaming experience) better than the previous releases.

Cheers
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
IT didn't work here... the same symptoms are present, after receiving an SMS still had to press volume keys to get media sound (in my case, from mortplayer). Also when the problem occurs, TMN and ndrive stop making sounds altogether and not even pressing volume keys make them turning back.only after rebooting phone...

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] levibuko:
thank you, no ill try it this we. is there sth special i should look for?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
Nope, just check if the same issue occurs on the stock ROM/kernel. If so, then your old sim/plan suits your location better. If not, then it's probably a kernel issue.

static background noise in speaker when talking to someone

quite annoying bug
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] casca:
I was wondering about this as I've seen an option on the sound settings of the rom that was called something like "cancel call noise echo" or something like that... can it have anything to do with it?

I can't test it because I don't have the phone with me at the moment, sorry guys.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] samsungi5500:
Yes it does! Turn that option on and it will cancel static noise in the background. Call quality with me is excellent.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] casca:
tks mate!

DZO, if this is indeed the solution it should be on first post to avoid repeated questions about the sound quality of calls

EDIT: +1 CONFIRMED! The solution for audio static when in call is to tick on the sound menu an option called "Use echo cancelling micro"

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] casca:
Correct.

Like I've said, I believe it should be on the first post or "ticked" by default when installing the rom if possible.

Just my 2 cents :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mrasquinho:
dzo, my suggestions:

1 - Upload non-translated strings to something like crowdin, so we can translate it to our language. I notice that you added some new options/menus, and they're not in multilanguage. It's not a big deal, but if you can do it, we'll try to help on translate (i'll help for sure!)

2 - On contacts, please add an option to show only contacts with phone number, because a lot of people (like me) have millions of contacts on google account, and after sync it's very difficult to find who we want :)

btw, thanks for your work and efforts!

How can I solve the FM Radio problem with 1.13v? It's really one of the most import functions in this ROM and it became broken with the latest release...:confused:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] eng.stk:
Some Apps and games began working with c2d, but others became slower. MX Player played the videos with lots of aliasing, so I reverted to gpu.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jbarros26:
First of all thanks dzo for your reply!

Unfortunately the file audio_policy.msm7630_surf.so not solve the problem. What I did was this: first put the file in / system / lib / hw /, then restarted the phone.

reinstalled the applications of music that come with the rom, and did two tests:

1st - I made a call to the phone with music player with headphones on, I picked up the call and hung up after a few seconds. The problem persisted.

2 - I made a call to the phone with music player without headphones on, answered the call and hung up after a few seconds. The problem persisted.

notes:

Note that between the two tests I ran, I rebooted the phone.

In addition to be muted in the player, the sounds of tap selection also disappear.

Thank DZO, hope and wait patiently (because I know you have a lot of work with the ROM) as you can solve this problem.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] wesley sun:
works finally,thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] eng.stk:
MX works, but with c2d the videos are with aliasing. This happens with some games or apps too. If i change back to gpu, aliasing goes away, full quality, but some apps doesn't work. All caches wipe, made full wipe on 1.12 too.

Edit: On my Asus Transformer with ICS all works fine, so it isn't ICS incompatibility I guess.
