Thanks ezet works great!

Now only problem i have is phone semi-freezing for no reason and touch screen freezes completely. I got one today and other yesterday.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Never happened to me. Did this happened when using a specific app?

EZET, any change to decrease softkey backlight a little? At night, in bed, I almost go blind :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ksatta:
You can use cm's custom display brightness settings and set the button backlight to 0.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Yes, but in that case, they are completely off, that at night is not useful, I need them to aim correctly at the buttons :-) any other value turns them on full brightness :-s

That's the only thing I'm really missing from Aurora :-(

I plan to upgrade to CM7-070512, but am I to understand that I am essentially wiping my phone clean and re-installing a new ROM? Which also means I have to re-do all the settings, apps, etc.? Sorry if I am missing something.

Thanks for your hard work.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dark_vader:
I don't think so, what i remember it crash almost when screen goes off and enters in lock mode. And when i try to unlock touch screen doesn't respond like it crash but phone won't...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] PaulMilbank:
nope, you just wipe cache, dalvic cache and then install. Then you fix permissions. Will keep all apps and settings and then rebuild caches on first boot.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] PaulMilbank:
I had a look at the brightness issue in Dzo source code. 3.0.8 kernel has another file in it that the .32 kernel does not have for controlling the backligjt. Might be possible to backport, but not easy

Anyone else have issues with wifi and data connections?

I have to manually turn wifi off then on sometimes to go from 3g to wifi sometimes.

My widget will often say wifi is on but its not etc.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] silverlining:
Just ROM'd from Aurora. Followed all the steps to the letter.

Nothing to say thus far, still looking at it, just have a problem:

I can't access my internal storage on the PC. It shows up as drives but they're hidden and when I click it says "Please Insert Disk Into Drive".

What do?

<--- Resolved. Retried using the X5 settings menu. Worked the 3rd time round. Weird
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] MtG92:
I just noticed something a little unusual. I thought it was strange that in "battery usage " in settings it showed that my device was awake like 80% of the time in a day of minimal usage (a little bit of wifi, a little bit of music, a handful of messages). In the app CPU Spy though, it states the device was in deep sleep like 90% of the time...which one do I believe? :D

And if the settings monitor is right, what could solve this problem? I made a clean install, made a backup, tried elite x1 for a few days and then restored my backup again. I'll try to find out if it's a certain app that's keeping the phone awake...

EDIT: As you can see in the first screenshot, even while I was sleeping (and the phone was in airplane mode) it was still awake most of the time. In the second screenshot, I reset the timers in cpu spy right before I went to bed, and it says the device was in deep sleep most of the time.

My major concern is simply the "strangeness" of the situation, because the battery life has actually been ok, even though it drains quickly with wifi on.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Try wiping batterystats in CWM, that's the file that controls that specific information about the battery.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] MtG92:
Isn't that the same as the "infamous" battery calibration?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
No, because in this case, what you want is resetting the "Battery use" screen, and that's exactly what clearing batterystats does... but even that may not work, because our phone is known to make terrible battery reports :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] MtG92:
Well so far it seems like it worked, because I haven't used the phone in about an hour and the "battery use" screen indicates the phone has been in deep sleep the whole time. CPU Spy reports the same. Nonetheless, I'll say something again in the evening or tomorrow to confirm. Thanks.

Anyone having visual glitches in Poweramp displaying the album's covers???
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Yes, latest poweramp doesn't work in any of the .32 versions, not even in official froyo. the developer told me it's a graphics driver issue, and he can't fix it without rewriting the whole app. The last version that works is 1.4 build 387.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ezet:
Yeap sometime this week i'll upload the latest nightly.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dark_vader:
Thanks dude really ;) It's best stable .32 rom i tried :D.

If you can fix low volume sound call (yes i still got it low sound) it will be awesome and please add some manager (like ES File Explorer) i don't like options of that default file manager can't open and edit .txt and others things.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] PaulMilbank:
what happens if you adjust volume in x5 settings?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Masarius:
I don't think ezet has released a patch for this yet, so its still not working.

Yeah, USB tethering is the only cause for me to jump between roms. Having it would be great.

Auto-Rotate not working anymore

Seems the auto-rotate stopped working recently. Not sure why. A quick Google search mentioned something about overclocking being the culprit. I recently had overclocked the phone to the highest clock possible (was trying to get MLB12 to work) but never put it back. After putting it back and restarting the phone, the problem remains.

Basically the auto-rotate gets stuck on horizontal mode once it changes to that. When I turn the auto-rotate off, it goes back to the vertical display. If I turn it on again, it changes to the horizontal display. Is that a bug or did I mess up some hardware somehow? (I hope I explained that clearly)

Thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] PaulMilbank:
try reflash with the latest rom again. All fine on my phone. Just don't run such high clocks when you reflash. Otherwise maybe you have cooked something...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jeremysherriff:
Try a "fix permissions" in CWM.

I suspect a file has gone corrupt while over-clocked, the IO handler may have messed up somewhere. It could also be something in the cache, try wiping /cache. I doubt it's hardware. Reflash the original B136 or similar ROM if all else fails.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] milkchug2000:
I re-flashed but it didn't work. Then I did a backup and did a clean install and it worked again, so at least I know the hardware isn't fried. I restored the backup and the problem came back. I guess if there isn't another solution I'll either live with it or clean install.

---------- Post added at 07:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 PM ----------

I tried fixing permissions, and wiping cache but didn't help. Thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] SiM0Th:
Just installed this ROM (First rom ever) and my WiFI is not working. When I enable wifi I don't see any networks where I can connect to and it disables itself again after 30 seconds. Any ideas?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rsdunlop:
I've had this before and I'm not 100% sure what caused it, possibly restoring something from Titanium backup?

Anyway when I did a factory reset (full wipe of data/cache in CWM) it started working again.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Unrealized:
Are there any apps that are able to usb tether since the native one doesn't work? If anyone knows any let me know.

Hope the native tethering could be fixed though! :) been enjoying every minute with this rom.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] PaulMilbank:
Try using PDA net. Will require drivers from the internet, but works. Can you just not use wifi tether?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Unrealized:
I have no Wifi in my PC, so nope. :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dark_vader:
Using this ROM for almost 1 month i state what i say above, sound quality during calls is terrible and major problem of this ROM.

Sometimes i hear echo and others i can't hear anything from other side. And yes i have checked that option to "Fix echo during calls" but no results.

Besides that is excellent ROM, many many options to do almost anything without 3rds apps and fast and smooth.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] PaulMilbank:
you can also try clockworkmod tether from the market. heard good things about this one.

---------- Post added at 08:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 AM ----------

Not sure, voice quality is excellent for me. What is the audio set to in your x5settings? I found the default is now 130 or so and that leads to distortion for me, try set it to 110 0r even 100.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ezet:
Voice quality is fine, far more better than .35 kernel i don't know what you have wrong there really but there is nothing wrong with this rom.

I still haven't push an update yet as i can't find why native usb tethering doesn't work.

Kernel is fine since it's working ok with miui .32, there should be something with netd or vold but nothing seems to fix it :/
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Ezet, can you publish an updated version without usb thether fixed, and then just an update zip when it's fixed?

I'm asking because I'm pretty sure people would like that and usb tether isn't something a lot of people use regularly, I'm guessing.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Masarius:
Personally, while I’m happy using wifi tethering at the moment, I’m very keen to see native usb tethering fixed. That’s not to say that I’m against a new release without usb tethering, but what other changes is the next update expected to bring that needs ezet to be rushed along?

Thanks for the effort ezet, I appreciate it!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Meanwhile you're waiting for the native usb tethering to work, try PdaNet 3.50

I just tried it with ezet's CM7.2 and it works wonderfully. :)

edit: I don't know how limited the free version is, but it worked just fine during my quick test run.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mythos_:
If usb tethering is the only thing holding back the new release, I agree that you should release it as is and see if tethering can be fixed later on.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fruitgull:
Thanks for this!

Just one question. I think scrolling is a little laggy (more than Miui). Is there anything one can do to minimise it?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Scrolling as..."swiping" between the home screens or scrolling webpages or? If you meant the first one, try a different launcher -LauncherPro for example.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fruitgull:
Mostly the former. I'll try a different launcher. Thanks!

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:

the rom is the first of ezet with ezet kernel "2.6.32.9-perf ezet@u8800#11" the kernel of ffranco is the best for this rom?

if i install the last ezet rom i lost every apps and contacts in phone?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Unrealized:
About the USB Tethering, are CONFIG_NETFILTER, CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES and RNDIS enabled in the kernel .config? Also I think it was working in an older release so you could try some regression testing if you did any changes. :)

Also, I think you could release the update without usb tethering, even though it's the only annoyance for me at the moment :) (Well, it's a bit annoying to swap the sim card between my phone and 3g modem, but it's not a biggie..)

Hope to see it fixed in some point. Good luck. Still this is one of the best roms around.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
You don't need to install Franco kernel, as in this ROM, Ezet took that kernel and fixed some stuff in it, so this is Franco's kernel, just better :-)

You'll loose everything if you wipe data, but if you sync your google account then your contacts, email, calendar will be there automatically, for apps, use something like titanium backup, it can restore all your apps with their data between ROMs.

If you're coming from an older version of this ROM, you don't need to wipe data though, and it this case, you won't loose anything.

...or just remove the original launcher app (adw?) with root explorer. That should leave you only with one launcher. :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Unrealized:
It's not free. Also Easytether is pretty painful to set up on Linux. And I also need internet for some other things than just web browsing. Native tethering would be so much better.

Also using a 3rd party app for something that is built in is like building a new house when a window breaks.

The code for UsbController.cpp was writen by stockwell and it's working fine on MIUI with my kernel so it's not a kernel issue.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Loureiro:
Thanks for the tip. Didn't knew that app. It has a good UI, very intuitive :)

But when in bootloop, it crashes as soon as kernel loads, right after bootloader, so no adb available.

I had problems with francisco franco's kernel earlier, and noticed that my u8800, only works without freezes & restart, with minmax governor, wich isn't default.

Sbasil helped me out and I did this

And it worked like a charm. I don't know why this happens, but happens with franco's kernel only, since 24sept release. I can only use minmax.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ezet:
I've just uploaded the latest compiled version. No device specific changes only the latest merged changed and some cherry-picks.

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/q/status:merged+branch:gingerbread,n,z

Unfortunately i wasn't able to find a fix for USB Tethering but i will keep trying.

To sum up at the moment this rom is pretty much stable and with almost no bugs.

I will keep updating once a month maybe or if there is something really new out that needs updating.

What would be nice to see to this rom is:

1) Camera libs and drivers from .35 kernel.

2) Adreno drivers from .35 kernel.

3) A native FM radio like ICS.

These 3 things and it would be perfect! For someone more skilled 1 & 2 shouldn't be a very difficult task. I've tried with no luck. For the 3rd one i have no clue if this is even possible but since mikereidis has done it with his app i guess it's possible by modding cyanogen FM app or who knows.

So if anyone wants to kick in and try my sources are on github :)
