You'll need to supply some more information.

Have you installed the official, stock 2.2 Froyo update from Huawei before instaling CWM and this ROM, and understand that the phone is picky about which official ROM (kernel) you install as the foundation for custom ROMs?

Did you perform a factory reset in CWM before installing this ROM?

Which other ROMs do you have the bootloop problem in? You say sbasil's MIUI, but don't mention which kernel version.

Thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gokturk_1976:
First ,backup your apps and IMEI

Second ,install B163 official rom 3 times

Third, install cwm 4.0.0.5 perfect recovery by Geno

Fourth, install your 32 kernel custom rom.

In this schedule ,the most important section is 3 times installed official rom (i prefer B163 every time)

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
If you use the .32 version of this ROM (which, of course, I recommend) you must be on another .32 ROM, like geno's 111128. And yes, you can install this ROM over geno's, but if anything goes wrong, just do all the wipes. I guarantee this is working good, it's the fastest ROM to date (I scored the first time, with nothing installed, in antutu 3600, now I'm getting 3550. It's the highest value of any ROM I've tried, and that's not placebo, it really feels faster in every sense. Also, It's CM 7.2, it has t9 dialer, ics rotation animation, etc, and it's very stable, only native wifi thether isn't working.)

When i wipe the rom

On first boot i can successful enter on first assistant but seconds later the intro of cyanogen appears very laggy until i pull the battery and then bootloop until i wipe

Rom ver.35
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Use latest .32 version. It's the best ROM for our device at the moment if you need stability and speed. I can guarantee you. :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] PaulMilbank:
Used the latest .32 and could not get wifi or market working, but wiped cache, dalvic, formatted system and reinstalled and then used google setup instead of the provisioning option.

This is working great. Love the ICS animations and look and speed. Might be the new favourite over miui. Awesome work ezet.

Is your kernel based off franco's?

Very nice, at stock speeds it is slightly faster than miui according to antutu.

I do have an odd problem in that trying to update the superuser binary in the superuser app tells me the rom has s-off enabled and I need to turn it off to update. Its not too much of an issue as I can use superuser, but if it is possible to make the phone realise it does not have s-off that would be great.

Heh, glad it worked :) What sport are you doing btw? :)

I'm not 100% sure it will work on the latest CM7 by geno but it will work on all other .32 roms including MIUI.

I won't support .35 sorry, not at least everything is fixed by Huawei and release proper kernel sources (like saying never?).

Maybe something went wrong on your first install, all good now :)

Yeap it's based mainly on francos kernel i've just enabled logging option and altered a bit some parts to make usb tethering to work which doesn't work yet but it will soon :P

Try going to recovery and fixing permissions from advanced settings.

Anyway i will update this thread as soon as i have fixed native wifi/usb tethering to work too :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] yannn007:
I think that this happens when you use franco kernel (I am not sure because I havent used any .32 kernel for a long time)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] FabioAreia:
Thanks for your work.

i would love a cm7 .35 without bugs but having .32 makes me happy too.

(i upgraded to .35 only to testing Aurora ICS :D )

For a friend of mine .35 would be usefull because beta1 unlocks sim cards. :cool:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] PaulMilbank:
changing permissions of /system using es file explorer worked. Everything working great, thanks again.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
I can't believe this... can anyone test endomondo and sports-tracker with the ROM? Endomondo force closes on start, sports tracker force closes every time I click explore or every time I try to start a new tracking session... I can't live without those apps :-( in the other cm7 .32 ROMs on the forum, both work fine...

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] PaulMilbank:
No dice for me either, open gps tracker force close on open too. Looks to be something to do with missing com.google.android.maps.jar missing from /system/framework according to logcat.

OOOH, i'm good! Just copied it from geno's 111128 rom into this one and rebooted and it now works.

*Edit* thanks ezet for enabling logging, you rock. Really missed that in previous roms with franco kernel.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
If that works, I'm officially loving you for the next two hours! Then I must return to being single... sorry :D

5.0.2.6 works fine (it's what I installed with)

Here's also the file that you have to put in system/framework so that some gps apps don't force close (if you didn't install the rom yet, puf the file directly on the zip or else, use root explorer and reboot the phone)

I installed the new version and it's working fine (just as the previous one) but the camera app is still ignoring the media_profiles.xml :confused:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] schuessm:
Hello ezet,

your ROM is great. I've only on little thing: The calculation of the battery ist a little bit fluctuating. When I make, for exmaple, a call the battery status goes to 46 percent. When I take the phone a hour later the battery status shows 51 percent.

What can I do to solve this?

EDIT: I Forgot something. Sometimes it loos the network connection on the same place where I have an hour before full connection. Any ideas? What original firmware is the best as basic for this mod?

Best regards

schuessm
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gokturk_1976:
Battery percentage issue isn't bug of this ROM.You can only do a battery calibration.This fixes your problem. :)

Your second question;

Yes I have the same problem.Data seems working but there is no internet connection.For fix this issue you can turn on airplane mode and turn off .Data connection will work again :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Experiences:
i think OP must note that you will probably lose your imei in the process of getting back from aurora. i lost it twice but this time i had backed it up. :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
How are your partitions? Did you increase internal memory size at any point?

Sent from my U8800
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Experiences:
yeah i remember cutting off some from the internal sd to the phone. i guess it's still like that.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
That's almost always what leads to null imei phones. I hope you keep your imei backup stored in a nuclear bunker in a box made of titanium! :D

For people who didn't mess up their partitions it's pretty safe to switch roms all the time (I've done it like 100's of times and never lost my IMEI). But to be sure, back it up also....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Experiences:
lol

it's at my dropbox. dropbox is safe like a baws.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] A.C.A.B.:
I confirm this information and fully subscribe it.

If you never changed partitions you can change roms as many as you wish without worry about losing the imei.

If you ever play with partition sizes then its like playing Russian roulette ;)

Sent from Odin's device!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Triflot:
Actually, sbasil said he lost his IMEI without having modified the partitions, so it's probably not 100% safe. Could be that he had done it earlier and reversed it, and that this caused problems.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] A.C.A.B.:
Go ahead then, change your partitions and start downgrading and upgrading official roms....

Good luck!!!

hi! i'm deciding on switching to this rom from oxygen, which i have been happily using since i got my phone 10 months ago... i'd like to switch to a rom that's still being actively developed, and aurora just doesn't seem stable enough to me according to the aurora thread that i've been following...

so, should i expect any major advantages or disadvantages from this switch? is there any major difference in speed or battery life between these two roms? can i install this rom from oxygen, with all the wipes of course, or should i downgrade to the official 2.2 rom first as per the instructions?

thanks for the reply!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
You can go directly to this ROM, just make sure you do all the wipes (data, cache, dalvik cache) and also delete battery stats just to make sure).

In my phone, i played with partitions and ROM's.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mythos_:
Yup, I've changed the partition sizes 3 times and so far the IMEI hasn't changed when I flash a new ROM. I have a backup of course.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] akeka:
Hi ezet,

Thank you very much for the ROM, it's really nice

Don't know if it's only me or not but I have some "issue"

1. When I play certain video, there's a green line at the top (tried to make caps, but no luck). Some of the other video are just fine

2. I can't connect to my home AP. But it can connect to my office AP. Here's the configuration of the AP's

Office :

SSID : Vanilla

Broadcast SSID : No

Protection : WEP

Home :

SSID : Hon-hon

Broadcast SSID : No

Protection : WPA2 PSK

Tried to set my home AP protection to WEP, still din't worked

But if I set my home AP to Broadcast SSID yes, it can connect for any protection

Thanks

that doesn't make it a fresh build....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] m1trand1r:
what is a fresh build then?....ow....i think you should go for cm9 then....if u want fresh build:p....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] A.C.A.B.:
yes thats it these days a fresh build is an ICS based
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] m1trand1r:
idk....but...we have an rc3 build on our g3...idk which build this is....rc1...i guess....so if ezet would update it to rc3 then it'd be some kind of fresh build:)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
CM7 is still actively developed, it can't arguably be considered old build... Also, all miui below v4 is just cm7 with a different framework, and it's still used by a lot of people... I don't see what's your point.

Ezet, now that CM 7.2 has reached stable version, any plans to update the ROM?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Be-Mine:
Seems that i will stick to this Rom for a long time!

Ezet, first of all I want to thank you for this great Rom!

I'm examining your work for the last 2 hours and I haven't seen such a Rom before, it has a lot of settings that will satisfy my needs. Too bad that i didn't find out it before :( My first impression is; it's excellent!

Enough good news :D Here is my first problem:

Hi-Suite can't connect to the phone, thus i can't restore my previous backups to CM7.2 :eek:

Seems that it recognizes the phone at the beginning, says "Connecting...", and then it tries to load the Hi-Suite Daemon to the phone, but it can't!

I also tried to manually install the Hi-Suite Daemon to the phone, but no luck! I think it's related to the kernel but I'm not sure. I remember that i encountered this problem before with the .35 kernel LewaRom.

I also use MyPhoneExplorer but its backups are outdated. And i use Titanium Backup for just the applications, not system backups.

So, what is the solution? How can i make Hi-Suite connect to the phone as before?

OS: WinXP SP3

Hi-Suite version: 1.4.02.05

Android Composite ADB Interface: 2.0.10.2 (08.07.2010)

Unknown Sources: ON

USB Debugging: ON

Debugging Notify: ON

Stay Awake: ON

Allow mock locations: ON
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
Why do you use hi suite? Most custom ROMs don't support it, you'll be missing a lot if that is essential to you :-) you can do a much better backup strategy with titanium backup for apps, your google account for contacts, email, calendar, and one of the dozen apps for SMS, etc...

I really suggest you forget hi suite :-) it's pretty bad :-)

Sent from my U8800
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] m1trand1r:
yeah...hi suite sucks pretty much for my gf aswell... and i suggest to use either as fjsferreira said TB and i use MybackupPro....bit in most cases i restore all my stuff either from multiboot (cool stuff & not present in u8800 cwm:p) and/or nandroid backup.....all gets easier:D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Be-Mine:
Yep, you're definitely right! 3rd party applications are probably more compatible and convenient with several kernels and custom roms. That's why i also use TB and MyPhoneExplorer nowadays.

But between Official Roms, Hi-Suite used to be my favourite backup program along with TB. As you remarked it's better to give up using this crap from now on :D

Unfortunately, my last backups were taken with Hi-Suite. So, it would be great if i could use it lastly with CM7.2 :(

Anyway, thanks for the reply and advices.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] m1trand1r:
hmmm......how about switching back to ur previous rom & restore backup from hi-suite...then backup all with TB & MybackupPro or root(i'm using it for contacts, mms, sms, system settings..etc)...than flash back to ezet's masterpiece restore backups from TB & Mybackuppro....and voila...you have all ur data back;)...just a suggestion though....if you like fidling around as i do:D....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Be-Mine:
That's what appeared in my mind as well :D

If it's impossible to make Hi-Suite work with CM7.2 (seems impossible to me after seeing your suggestions above :D), then i will choose the hard way.

CM7.2 is most probably worth of all these :)

thanks for the quick reply! just one more thing: i have custom partition size (1.2 Gb for data) using genokolar's well known method; should i revert to default partition size too after/before installing the official 2.2.2 rom and before sending my phone in? i read that reverting back to default partition size can cause trouble in some cases...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
I don't think they will check for the altered partitions, they'll probably just replace screen and board, as they always do :-) without checking too much on the phone, and ROMs and stuff.

But yes, people have reported more probability of loosing imei when using custom partition and downgrading stock ROMs. I have restored my partition to default using Geno s method and didn't have problems... but the risk is there... but even if you loose your imei, tell them you have that problem and they'll fix it easily by replacing the board :-)

I'm back with a brand new CM7.2 :D

I switched back to B163, restored my Hi-Suite backups to it. Then made backups with MyBackup, Titanium Backup (this time with system data), SMS Backup&Restore and then installed CM7.2 again. After restoring the backups on CM7.2, it's all OK now. (I still wonder if Hi-Suite might work though :D)

I also tried the tethering issues today:

Wi-Fi tethering seems OK on all WinXP,Win7 and Linux Mint.

But USB tethering didn't work on any of them (Yes, MS ActiveSync is installed on WinXP) A virtual Network Adapter should appear on the PC side but couldn't.

I was upset at first thinking something wrong with my phone until I read all the pages! Now I know that USB tethering doesn't work natively on the last 2 versions. A little note on the first post will avoid these misleads though ;)

Thanks for the contributions to this great work. Cheers!
