[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
this is an official ROM, you install it by unpacking the dload folder onto your SD-Card and then restart the phone as if you where to go into the pink-screen-mode, the phone will start flashing and tell you so.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
kae di u tryed the update italian that i linked? :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
nope.. I'm not that much interested in stock ROMs, I more into those custom ROMs like cyanogenmod and MIUI

What are the benefits of Chinise b923 and russian compared to Cambodian? Current works just fine...

Can anyboby put chinese b923 and russian links here...there are so many I'm a bit confused...

Does the chinese version have only chinese and english language?

What abut russian version, does it have english and european languages?

And these roms can be installed same way as the cambodian?..dload files to sd card and then uptade from sd? Do i have to delete current cambodian dload folder first? Or I can just change the files inside the folder?

With the b924 Oficial Rom, when going to the pink screen for changing the boot.img, my computer doesn't show the "huawei disk" to change the boot. Is this normal?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:

yes its normal.. going back to b870.. huawei memory managment of b924 sucks as b923
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Rakter:
With b870 can i install the latest MIUI roms? Because with the default Rom from Huawei i couldn't update MIUI 2.6.1 to the latest, because all of the following looses IMEI/ didn't detect SIM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
no b870 its gb and its the fastest, battery friendly update from huawei.. the better :|
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lykkis:
I was in a store in Östersund, Sweden and played around on a U8860, checked OS version and it said B875. It was Gingerbread 2.3.6.

Does anyone know where to get this one?

By the way, i'm running B870 now and it's the best so far!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cosmos321:
I know someone (in Germany) who had different problems with his honor, so he send it for repair. When it came back, just this version (B875) was installed. Unfortunately i haven't seen it anywhere else to download. I guess that this version isn't made public. By the way, the system hasn't changed serious!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
hehe. no sorry, cm9 seems to be too much effort, sorry.. got other things to do

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lykkis:
I did not have time to play much with it, but newer is newer. So far 2.3.6 is best in my opinion. You are right, there where no change as far as i saw on my B870 and the B875. Will install it to test.

Thanks, downloading it now. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] allan311:
Is this Italian b924 really better than Cambodian?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cosmos321:
Yes it is, you can have a quick look at it here: CLICK ON ME (it's in german)

You can see that changing the homescreens or scrolling the menu is quite smoothly. And also the return to the homescreen out of an app..... definitly the best ICS version out there
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tropblaster:
Mostly the battery is way better and the setting are many more and a little faster but it got a bad memory managment :D

both have english but havent tried the russian version.

Was running Russian B923, and now B924. In both roms, the stock Gallery does not display my Google Photos even though I have set it to sync in the settings. Anyone else encountered the same problem?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cosmos321:
YES, i have the same "problem"! Well, actually it isn't a "problem" but a normal behaviour in the new ICS-gallery-app! Sadly!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] speedyg0nz:
Only for the Honor? I have a Galaxy Tab running CM9 and it syncs seamlessly.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cosmos321:
Possible that this "bug/feature" is only in the ics-version of the honor. It's my only smartphone i was running an ics-version! Otherwise could it be, that CM9 uses another stock-gallery-app? Could you check this?

Temporary you could use one of these apps: CLICK ME

By the way, this "bug/feature" exists also in the build B919 of the ics for the honor.

EDIT: On the facebook-fanpage of "HUAWEI DACH" (for germany) you could read that these guys currently work on the final version of the ics. And at the moment one working point on the bug list is to fix problems with the gallery. So, maybe they already pay attention to our bug.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tri_zet:
@kaefert , can you put this this rooting methode at first post?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28403132&postcount=799

it is valid for stock ICS B919/B923/B924 and perhaps others older ICS.

i just noticed the "su-3.0.3.2-signed.zip" in first post is linked to my mediafire file, it is a little bit obselete. i use older su binary that will show "segmentation fault" on some cases.

on the new one i use wraithdu su binary which is already fixed for "segmentation fault.

So... How do you recieve/send MMS on ICS? No APN working at the moment, and only with data active i can send/recieve mms.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] speedyg0nz:
Flashed B924 about 24 hours ago and haven't rebooted since. What's apparent so far is that returning to home screen from any app feels snappy. There used to be an obvious lag when performing the same action in B923. Shan't comment on memory management since I didn't feel that it was a major problem even in B923.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] allan311:
I even found my language on b924, memory management seems also ok.

I dont know if it's normal but when I push return button exiting app it goes to home screen for a half a sec then back to app menu?

I got the Official OTA update for my Huawei Honer

Hi Guys ,

well i am new to this place but just to share with you all, i got my Huawei U8860 from my provider ( I am In Saudia ) , I got the official OTA for ICS & its running perfectly, so far i did 3 phone update with the same file & working like a charm.Google play is working fine too.

Android 4.0.3

Build Number : U8860IV100R001C00B923SP01.

let me know if i can help you guys with this update or if you guys need the update file.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cosmos321:
So you got the B923SP01 OTA from your Provider? But this version has been available for a long time. The "new" version ist B924 (and is distributed OTA in Italy now)!

You can find the downloadlink here. The B924 ist "much" more smooth and stable than the B923SP01 !

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Vecos:
Hi all, I've flashed b919 and am running MIUI now, but I was thinking of trying out b924.. Since the first post says that b923 and above change the recovery etc., will I be able to downgrade easily from b924 back to b919 to use a custom recovery again?

yes, you can always flash another stock ROM, only the pink screen doesn't work in some stock ROMs therefore you have to use specific stock ROMs as basis for the custom ROMs (for example B919)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] tri_zet:
this is because your new cust.img does not match with oem info (custom.bin)

you can edit your new cust.img, read my post here : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28703400&postcount=864

regarding FM radio i think i didn't see it in system.img or cust.img. anyway you can use FM radio.apk from others ROM.

Thx tri_zet for your tutorial to recover wigdet on notification panel, but I'm blocked.

First, when I edit the file /data/custom.bin, I find normal/cn

It meens that I should find the file cust.bin in normal/cn (or /normal/cn) ? But I have no directory normal/cn and I can not find any cust.bin :(

What do you meen by "create mount point usingg root explore" ?

However...

After mounting cust.img on /mnt/cust (ith busybox), I could not find any /mnt/cust/cn/normal directory and no custom.bin file ;(

Have you any ideas?

Thats what it looks like if you use your root permissions on the B924 to be nasty and replace the recovery img with something custom.. even if you only try to do a normal boot where one would think recovery is not looked at.. so only way to get back into the phone is doing a fresh stock ROM installation (or has anybody another idea?)

Network Carrier detection

I have something odd here going on.

When I use the stock roms (even with the latest b924 ) my phone tells me I'm using the "France Telecom" network, this is just wrong it should be "mobistar" when I google for it I can find a few people complaining about the same issue - all huawei users.

Now the strange thing is if I use the russian stock rom (b923)it just works, correct network carrier and also correct APN settings.

Does anyone now what might be the cause and how I can fix it on the stock roms

The problem is when the phone displays "France Telecom" i'm unable to add APN's

Thanks, that explains the error message. Which ROM is the B919 then? Is it the cambodian stuff on the Huawei site, because I've tried flashing it and i get

a yellow warning triangle and an "update failed" even though my phone is completely stock.

And by the way, I've got a strange (European) build number I've not seen in this post: U8860V100R001EURC00B875

Crisis!

I was looking to upgrade my honor to ICS, so I first went into that menu (through the dialer) to check what touchscreen I had. Think it was a tsk-6. Stock rom EU 2.3.6. Anyway for some stupid reason I sniffed around in there and found an "update sdcard" option, which I clicked. So phone rebooted and went into a bootloop.. Which is bad enough, however apparently it's not recognized by windows 7 (can't find drivers) , neither in pink screen. So is there some trick I could do to access the sdcard or something?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] EnDSK:
If anyone has tried the CM7 release that you guys are talking about do let us know how it works. And as far as FM radio is concerned I've never really used that so doesn't matter nor have I used the front camera much I could do without it
