Do you have a backup? It's pretty easy to fix this if you did a backup with toolbox5irom.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Scuall:
No:banghead:

Didnt know that this could happend.

My mistake.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Scuall:
Tried, dont like. will flash 2.3.5 again,trying restore ime´i and again ICS.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Without Imei backup you won't be able to restore it no matter what you do. It just doesn't magically come back, you have to take your phone to warranty service.

There are some methods in a russian forum (4pda) but I don't have the links for it and really don't know if it works... never seen someone posting success stories here.

PDroid integration?

I have been using the last version for 3 weeks and can say that it's rock solid :good:

(After a continuous 105 hours test without a single restart! Then rebooted the phone manually for some reason FYI)

By the way, is there anyone who is using PDroid with this Rom? Installation seems a little bit tricky but with the "automatic ROM patcher for Windows" , it may become easier.

I will keep an eye on PDroid post, and try to patch the Rom as soon as i get the essential info.

Does this rom has built in gapps or I have to download them and install as separate package?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Be-Mine:
Well, i don't know what a full gapps package includes exactly. Yet, i know that this rom includes most of the google applications, at least i didn't have to install a separate package ;)

Here are some of them which comes with the Rom already:

Google Play Store

Google Search

Google Talk

E-mail

Youtube

Car Home

and these are not included AFAIK:

Google Maps

Gmail

Thx.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cokratex:
I have a few issues with this rom, only small things though.

I have button lights always off, but when battery run low, they lit up. This happens when battery is less then 5 percent.

If my phone is powered off and charging I cannot switch it on. I have to remove charger and then power on and re-insert charger. Annoying when battery is really low, I need to wait a few minutes before powering on.

I noticed a 'feature' here, if I insert charger and remove it when huawei logo appears, the phone starts without pressing power button.

Still very nice and stable rom, thank you!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ezet:
Hello! I've uploaded the latest compiled version. You can check it out.

This is probably the final version i'm releasing since i've switched to ICS by dzo and will give a try towards CM9 building maybe.

I haven't thoroughly tested this last version since i am on the new baseband now, but it should work fine.

There are little to no major changes since the June release this is just a release to make a closure here :)

That's all folks for this ROM! :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mythos_:
Hey ezet, thanks for the latest version.

Maybe you and blefish could work on CM9 (or CM10 now that the JB source is released). :D

I went from using Aurora 4.1, to Gingerbread 2.3.5 and now to this.

I hope this works for me well. I'm liking it so far except it seems a little slower in the interface than other roms.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] itsDinis:
I don't if it's just me who thinks this but since we already have a dev working on CM9 and probably for CM10 and maybe for a "vanilla" jelly bean rom, I think if you can you should try to do an port of AOKP, it's the best costumizable rom out there and it would be great if we had it on our device. But once again you're the dev so it's your decision.

PS: I used this rom for a long time, and it was very stable and fast, withouth a doubt one of the best gingerbread rom's for our device, great work ezet. Keep up with the good work.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Mae7:
I find it quick enough, except for in the app drawer it seems a little laggy :/ Can I speed the animations up?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sonyn:
I think this is a launcher-related problem. Try use a different launcher and see how you go.

Fyi, I use Launcher Pro and everything is so smooth :)

How is the battery time on this rom compared to oxygen? And is it stable?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] PaulMilbank:
I have found battery to be great. Probably on par or a bit better than oxygen. If I am just on light use , I can get 2 days, heavy use with data on all day and lots of calls and Internet I still have 30 to 40 % left at end of day.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iakoboss7:
Hello, I am using genokolar's cm7 (the last one to support franco kernel for u8800 , .32 kernel), I want to try this rom BUT I want to ask if I can install it WITHOUT wiping data! Will everything work normal or I will have problems?!!! (I hope the rom doesn't wipe data automaticaly!)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] MtG92:
When switching between roms it is strongly recommended to clean data. You can use titanium backup to backup your apps, and there are apps to backup your sms, call logs and whatnot. The only thing you'll have to reset are your settings. You can make a nandroid backup and try to flash ezet's cm7 without wiping data, but his release is much newer than geno's, and his kernel is also slightly different. But who knows, you might get lucky. Just don't forget to backup first.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Stopa:
I would like to report horrible battery life on latest release, on penultimate version (and other roms .32, .35) my battery lasts for about 20-24h, on lastest version its about 6-8h :/
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Gman2oo6:
First off all Verry nice and good Rom !!

Just 1 question

I have the cm-7-20120711-UNOFFICIAL-u8800 on it now

With the old froyo kernel .32 it had no probs writing to it

But now i cannot write to it

It always tells me it is read only ( and it gives me a notice about something S-ON ?? )

When i take out the MicroSD and put it into a adapter it works right away !

So something has to be locked inside the software ( just don't know what )

Ore is it just a setting in the phone that i didn't see ??
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ezet:
This is not dead yet :) New version up!

I switched back from ICS since ICS still has some bugs i can't live with :P

Anyway no major changes expect the latest merged commits plus some cherry picks.

This time i've included a close to stock kernel that seems more battery friendly.

I've uploaded both on the google code page. kernel_stock.zip is the stock kernel and kernel_tweaked.zip is the tweaked one with franco tweaks. You can flash them both trough CWM.

Also added some tips on the first post.

Hope you enjoy! :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ezet:
It's try and error. Best thing would be to go for full wipe not sure if everything will work ok.

Try the latest version and check if anything is draining your battery with BetterBatteryStats.

I haven't faced this issue ever. Try a full wipe and reinstall the rom.

Haven't used oxygen so i can't tell. I get 24h with heavy usage. If you ask me this is the most stable/bug free rom you can find :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Be-Mine:
Great! That's what i expected from you, i'm so glad to see that you're back again. Such a robust Rom should never die my friend , unless a more stable one comes for sure :good: Thanks!

I've been using the 2012-06-06 dated version for 5 weeks, and I'm very pleased with your Rom. But i have some issues to be addressed:

1) Frequently, when i turn on the Mobile network, the data transfer doesn't start! I have to switch from 2G to 3G (or vice versa) to trigger the Mobile Network, and force it to activate! This is the most important and annoying bug for me. I know that nobody has mentioned it before, but i'm quite sure that it's related to the Rom itself, because one of my friends confirmed this problem in our forum. What is the situation in the last one, could you please check it if you haven't done yet. (You may not encounter the problem if you just rebooted, but after some time, it will most probably appear ultimately)

2) I need help in integrating PDroid to this Rom. I searched the original PDroid thread and tried to patch the Rom with the svyat's "automatic ROM patcher for Windows" but to no avail :( The patcher gives errors so i can't use PDroid with this Rom. This problem is not directly related with your Rom, but i will be glad if someone tries to achieve the integration too. Did you ever try it in your Roms?

Original PDroid Devs thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1357056

3) Battery consumption of the Rom is definitely one of the best i've tried so far, but i think it could be better. I realized that in stand-by mode (GSM Network is 2G, and all other setting are OFF) it consumes more than some of the Roms out there (both .32 kernel custom and official Roms). Since you stated that the last kernel seems more battery friendly, i guess it's not an issue anymore. :good: (I use the Rom with the default values; SmartassV2 368-1024MHz)

4) (I supposed you would fix the native USB tethering bug. Anyway, not a big deal for me :D)

I will update to the latest version as soon as i finish my attempts with the PDroid stuff. I hope it's still rock solid :D

ezet, I appreciate all your work and want to thank you again,

Cheers!

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] itsDinis:
The problem is that your and all of our phones doesnt have front facing camera. No fix for that.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Syrian Attack:
i don't think this is the problem.

before flashing this rom, with the stock rom ( froyo 2.2.2), skype video chat and zoom were working very nice.

I used the back camera for video chat.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Be-Mine:
I tried the same thing myself and saw that this happens on the 2012-06-06 dated version too.

Then, to make it clear, i tried zooming with a 3rd party software, Lg Camera. With LG Camera it's possible to make zoom before starting the record, just like in the stock recorder. But the zoom bar disappears as soon as the recording starts, thus it's impossible to try zoom "on the fly". The difference is that Lg Camera prevents any interruption and/or FC by making the zoom bar inactive!

So, i think that "on the fly" zooming is not available on any recorder software with this Rom. But, what about the other Roms?

I guess it's the same on all of the Roms, but i'm not %100 sure because i didn't try zooming on any other custom or official Rom before :confused: .

(If this issue is literally the same on the other Roms, this problem may be solved by disabling the zoom icon as soon as the recording starts, just like the Lg Camera applies!)

Confirmation needed...

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] MikeO69:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Be-Mine:
Did you try the built-in setting in the default camera application?

1) Open camera application,

2) Press the softkey "Menu" button,

3) Press the "Advanced options" just appeared on the screen

4) You'll see "Use external SD card" option most below the page, it's checked by default!

5) Uncheck it, and the photos will be saved to the internal SD eventually.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] MikeO69:
Thanks, i looked there but did not see that option. Because of high batterij consumption also i dit a factory reset and now all is working fine and now i see the option also.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Be-Mine:
I just updated from 2012-06-06 dated version to the latest 2012-07-21 version, with a clean install.

And i'm very upset with the new version, it's so laggy on my phone! For example; the ADW launcher is much more sluggish than before, although i made the same adjustments with the previous version. I checked some games as well, most of them are stuttering now, like Temple Run, Fruit Ninja etc. They were so smooth on the 2012-06-06 dated version that i can't believe my eyes now.

I guess my phone didn't like the new stock based kernel, unless i'm doing something deadly wrong :confused:.

I will flash the franco tweaked kernel and see if the situation changes...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] MikeO69:
ADW Launcher is running fine on my one with normal settings. I only changed the CPU setting that the minimum is 600Mhz.

You can also try another launcher as said in Tips and Tricks

2) If you feel GUI is a bit sluggish use a different launcher. I personally use Go Launcher EX and it's full of features and fast! You can set the transition speed on Go Launcher EX settings.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ogilviea:
Wifi causing battery issues?

The July 21st version was working perfectly... so like a fool, I thought I would break it :eek:

I flashed the franco kernel, and my battery life went down the toilet, losing 1% approximately every 2 minutes! Logcat was showing many, many wifi (wpa_supplicant) messages, none of which looked serious, e.g

wpa_supplicant (329): CMD: DRIVER LINKSPEED

wpa_supplicant (329): wpa_driver_priv_driver_cmd LINKSPEED len=4096

Disabling wifi stopped the drain immediately.

So I decided to flash the stock kernel back... but the drain continued :(

Next, I tried re-flashing the rom, clearing the cache and dalvik cache, but without a data wipe... same problem still

Next, I'm going to try a complete clean install, including data wipe...

Has anyone seen this before? This is such a shame, since (in my opinion) this was the best rom yet for this phone.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dark_vader:
Yes battery drains on this version is worse than previous on my phone happens same thing i tried with another governor OnDemand (default governor is smartassv2) and battery percentagei s slightly better. But if turn on wifi bang... battery drains 1% per 3minutes.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ogilviea:
Here's an interesting discovery. As an experiment, I created a couple of rules in Llama; one to switch wifi off when the screen goes off, and one to switch wifi back on when the screen comes on again. Guess what? No sign of the endless stream of wpa_supplicant messages in logcat! I wonder... is there a problem with the built-in wifi sleep policy?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ogilviea:
False alarm. The wpa_supplicant messages still appear, and I can't see a pattern (except for the fact that the battery drains like crazy!) :(

I'm tempted to go back to Aurora (which I abandoned due to multiple crashes and reboots: hopefully this has improved since then...)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iikbgsdw:
Is it just me or it's a common situatian? Everytime I unplug my device from PC....I deal with slow loading ext app on the drawer and it would follow with some restarts problem....

Ps: im using go launcher ex at this rom...

And this problem also occured when i used sbasil miui rom...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mythos_:
It's not just you. When I unplug the phone from the pc it remounts the SD and it's pretty busy for a while. Sometimes when I try to do something with it during that time I get a reboot. I think this occured more often with the stock kernel and less with the tweaked.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iikbgsdw:
So what do you suggest Myth? Should I update this rom with Franco's kernel that attached by ezet. Thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mythos_:
Well that helped in my case. I think I've seen an SD related reboot since then, but that's much better than what I got with the stock kernel.
