If you should want to send it in for warranty you should after flashing back the original ROM also restore the original recovery.img and remove non standard recovery_backup.img and boot_backup.img images

Well for me its not interesting, I think its crap, even if it would have working FM & Camera, I wouldn't revert back to gingerbread.

Well the soft key backlights I never noticed, the hangups are "normal" for MIUI, the force close of MIUIhome I not never seen yet. But I have had only one or two hangs with the new version 2.3.30, which I flashed sunday.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] EnDSK:
OK thanks alot ill do that.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cbr900:
now, boot_voc2.img is renamed to boot.img and is put in image folder....

What is next please?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
? well just boot the device and then install, configure & use the rvoix_snapdragon.apk
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cbr900:
@kaefert

thanks for rvoix_snapdragon.apk...it works

Are you going to work on AutoAnswering mentioned in http://code.google.com/p/rvoix/wiki/AutoAnswering

thanks again
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
nope. I'm not gonna work on that, I'm not interested in AutoAnswering. If I find the time to work on rvoix I will check to see if I can modify it so that we can record stereo sound (seperate channel for incoming and outgoing sound) but at the moment its not looking like I will find time to do it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Tchistiakov:
Hello, this kernel "boot_voc2.img" for android GB or ICS?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
only for ICS, since the kernel version is 3.0.8. I could not find kernel sources for GB from huawei. Somehow thats strange, because the GPL requires them to publish their modifications, and since the GB is still the default and only ROM for many countries they should also release the kernel sources for that version..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Tchistiakov:
it will work with MIUI?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
yes, I'm using MIUI version 2.3.30 with it and had no problem with rvoix yet. only you need to declare it as trusted app in the permission manager of MIUI.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] EnDSK:
the miui desktop redraws itself quite a lot which slows down the overall experience is there any way to fix this?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
I don't know, maybe you can get a better anwser if you post the question over there, but maybe try to be more specific: MOD EDIT: Link removed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] daABBA:
Hi.

Is the lack of mobile data 3g a known issue on huawei's china ICS?

Cant get it to work here in norway.

Tried installing it twice with no luck, and Im now "forced" to run 2.3.6 and no root :-(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
I never had any such issue here in austria. and why are you forced to not root the gingerbread android version?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] daABBA:
Mobiledata: cant even add new apn's (they dont get saved)

No root: As I understand it, and have experienced, u cant connect to pc at pink screen with 2.3.6 and so I cant get recovery and custom roms in..

I guess I could go 4.0.3 -> recovery -> 2.3.zip and -> su.zip. , or some custom, but i would like to keep this phone as stock and stable as possible

Maybe the cambodian demo ICS from huawei would work, but I havent tried it

How to make video call without installing apps
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mr.luckystrike:
I have the same problem. I live in sweden, though. It finds "telenor" (the provider) in the APN menu. however it wont connect to it. :confused:

anyone else having this problem??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mnaveed:
what app to use for oc/uv,

plz

thanks

i m using the kernel compiled by u
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
well the kernel I compiled is not fit for overclocking, the only thing I changed from the standard huawei kernel is allowing rvoix to get a more detailed phone-state, which allows it to start recording just when the other party has picked up. Without this patch rvoix tries to start recording to early and fails.

For overclocking you need to use the overclocking kernel, and setcpu or something the like.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
take a separate sd-card-reader and flash a new stock ROM.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] thinkandroid:
Hi, thanks for replying. However could you elaborate on a "separate sdcard reader"? What would that be?

Edit: just to be clear, I don't have an extra micro sdcard.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
D: there isnt custom b919 kernels.. no sources.. but from what i remember, in 4pda someone get callrec working on b923 :| the problem is, in wich post?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
lol, how does that work? you cannot do anything without a micro sd-card..

Just buy yourself one, an 8 gb card is like 5 euros here in austria..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
well, there is call recording and call recording ;) MIUI itself also has some kind of call recording, but I like quality call recording directly from the wire, where you actually can reliably understand what the people are saying when listening to the recording. and this requires kernel patches to be applied...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
you cant without sourcers? :|
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
well I have a kernel that is able to boot, and I will try to extract the components that the old kernel needs from the old B977 ROM and just put them in my B919 installation.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] thinkandroid:
Didn't think :rolleyes:

So I got to:

1. Buy micro sdcard and a reader for it.

2. Copy stock rom onto sdcard.

3. Insert sdcard into phone, boot into stock recovery (pink screen) and..

4. It will install stock rom automatically.

Am I correct? Also I have two questions. This will wipe all data, right? Do you have a link to stock rom? Thanks a lot for your help! :thumbup:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
yep, procedure is correct.

yep, this will wipe any data. sorry, can't think of any other if the mounting on pink screen doesn't work

for links to stock roms (or any roms) look at my first post
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mlysgaard:
Thanks to the help of you guys i now got the B919 rom flashed, great!

Now comes some more questions:

My recovery screen does not look the same after i flashed 919. Does the rom overwrite it?

Is the new recovery screen the Huawei stock one, whick means it won't flash the italian B924?

You see I tried flashing the B924 now that I've got the B919 but it whined about the build_prop stuff again.

Do I need to overwrite the recovery.img again?

If things fail and I want to revert to 2.3.6, what is the procedure. Is it possible to get stuck in a rom in

such a way that I can't flash any new rom and cant revert back to my old rom?

Can I for example loose the pink screen by flashing newer roms?

I have to say I'm impressed with your level of knowledge on all this, kudos!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] desalesouche:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] thinkandroid:
Is B875 the latest and greatest stock gb rom? On Huawei's chinese website the newest seems to be B866b. Why isn't it updated? International is even older.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] desalesouche:
i am using Cyanogenmod 7.2 RC1-0 with adw launcher ex 1.3.3.56 set to fast .vm heapsize set to 24. i did made some change in build prop.just some tweaks to improve the rom...what a good rom once tweaked...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tropblaster:
What tweaks?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
the latest GB ROM that you can download from Huawei is B870 from huawei germany (to the best of my knowledge)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sameerksa:
Stuck in headphone mode

Hi guys,

i don't know if its relevant but may be 1 of you can help, my phone seems to be stuck in Headphone mode, i tried resetting it & even flashed with the Stock ROM, sound is working fine but when calling i have to plug in headphones.may be its a hardware issue.

Appreciate help

Huawei U8860
[Miscellaneous Android Development] thinkandroid:
Ok, will download from germany just to be sure. Just wondering because I someone requested an upload of B875 and the french guy supplying it a few posts up.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
I haven't tested that B875 but I guess it would also work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
b875-b879, are the same of b870, but with more bloatware, and for different nations
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
hey paul! any news on your situation?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
nothing for now :| my friend (he is a programmer), via team viewer have tryed to restore the imei files with adb.. but device result as disconnected, so we tryed to reinstall drivers but nothing.. he come here in my city sunday, but i want to send the phone to assistence.. fortunatly i have the repair center here.. i tryed with different stock rom, ics too, but there is some problem with bootloader, the flash process start, but when he go to step 2 (installing), the flash fails.. so i think i have modified some bootloader files :| i have the ideos bootlogo with 800x480 resolution :| hope that i can repair it under warranty
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
you're a crazy guy you know that don't you? why do you play around with stuff like that? restoring a bootloader of one device to another device...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
I dont know what I was doing, I thought only restore the imei, and I was wrong .. regard hacking the phone, I think this is the heritage of having had the htc hd2 XD and I love discovering new things, and methods for speed up my phone XD maybe i ve discovered the metod for change the bootloader? maybe with this we can remove the security check of b923, simply by replacing the img files from the b919 o.o but i think that is more complex than this..BUT maybe, we can expect this simplicity from a f***** brand that stores imei in a formattable drive!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
hmm, well what would be the advantage of a method to unlock B923? Its rootable and if you want to flash a custom ROM you can just as well use B919 as basis
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
-EDIT- kafert i need your help, some guys posted ( here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1624523&page=2) that i can flash offycial roms with sutrl (software update tool) but only with the .nb0 extension :|

this tool replace all, and have to be used in download mod (pink screen), and i can connect the phone in this mode! maybe there is a chance to avoid the repair center!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
hmm, sometime ago there was a post that explained how to unpack our stock ROM upgrades, and here is a guide explaining how to pack an nb0 --> http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_unpack_and_repack_NB0_file

UPDATE: but are you sure that this SUTLR works with the u8860?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
the guy in the trhead that i ve linked first, sayd that he use sut lr to update the phone :|
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cosmos321:
So i just wanna say, FINAL ICS is out (OTA-Update): Build is U8860IV100R001WEC00B924SP01 ! But it seems, that, at the moment, the release is limited to the GB B870 Users. I use the chinese GB B876 and i can't see the update by now.

Here is a screen: CLICK ME !
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wdhaeseleer:
@kaefert

Did you already tried to install Huawei All Backup on MIUI? (2.7.13 in my case)

It will not install, don't know why...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
hmm, well I don't know, but you can try it, unpack a stock ROM and repack it as nb0 and try to flash it

No sorry, I don't use Huawei All Backup
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
eh but the download link dont work :|
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] fonky87:
Wow, awsome if its out! Cant see anything when I search for it me neither since I am on chinese ICS B919. Will it ever be discoverable for me OTA when on a chinese build?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cosmos321:
Don't know, i guess not. To be sure, flash the german B870!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
I think it makes more sense to keep B919 as a base and if there is something in B924 that you like just flash a stripped B924 zip file with a custom recovery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cosmos321:
That's an alternative! But then you have to wait till someone makes an update.zip from the B924SP01!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
I thought I've seen someone post something like that some pages back?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
yes but.. the memory managment of b924sp01? always like a siemens c35? or we can use the phone like a smartphone? lol
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ct_moi:
He have an ICS version on german site, don't know what the build

[Miscellaneous Android Development] JanviN:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] morpheus620:
yes.

ota update have a newer kernel.

website update older kernel.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wdhaeseleer:
@kaefert

I'm carefully reading your first post and read you are using miui rom.

Are you already using the latest version?

And if so are the disadvantages still valid?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
hey guys, maybe if someone is interested, I was pissed out by all those annoying noises our camera makes, without the option to disable them.

http://kaefert.is-a-geek.org/huawei_honor/HwCamera.apk

however, the sound of the shutter is hidden somewhere else not inside the apk.. still need to find it. all you get by using this is no focusing sounds

To mount the system partition as writeable (to be able to replace the standard apk there with my mod) use this in a shell on the phone:

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system/

UPDATE: the shutter click sound is located here:

/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg

I removed it and it worked, I now can take pictures without any sounds :)

UPDATE2: when you're at it, you can also delete:

/system/media/audio/ui/VideoRecord.ogg

which is the same only for making video recordings
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
Well, its not as unstable as it was a few months ago. I am running the 2.7.13 version from MIUI-Germany since about 30 hours and I hadn't had a single unexpected reboot until now. Memory managment is still not very good (sometimes stuff hangs a second till the memory is sorted out again) but that seems to be the general situation with ICS on the honor.. I think its tolerable.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] indian65:
The kernel's number of italian OTA is

3.0.8-perf-00059-g3a757a2 android@localhost#1

It's the same of german OTA?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
:\ huawei did well with b870, 210+ mb of ram aviable and infite apps in background :| i think its ics problem.. still hoping in jb port, personally i dont like ics speed
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lykkis:
I'm also on B870 and it's very good. Been testing several 4.0.3, and i don't think B924SP01 is any better.

Also it's hard to root, bad memory. B870 is smooth, all works great, making the U8860 the perfect phone.Battery is exellent with B870 also.

Tested the B875 and that would not connect to 3G or 2G, just wireless. Installed B870 back again.

If there where some custom 4.0.3 roms with memory management that worked, i would consider it.(Not MIUI, like how Huawei orginal look!)

Anyone had a look at the new P1 from Huawei? Might buy one of them soon.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RBwai:
Does B924SP01 Italian or German version include other languages Too? I'm interesting about Slovenian language?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tropblaster:
wouldn't android 4.0.4 faster ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sjj1991:
if im already on b919, can i still go back to b870? im really fed up with the memory management in ics!

is there a cm rom for b870?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] indian65:
For go back to B870, just use the dload of B870 ( first page), and yes they have many CM7.2, honor bongo 1.5 for example

it's a very smooth rom
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sjj1991:
i tried searching for the honor bongo 1.5 rom, but couldn't find it, can u provide a link? thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
could anyone who is using a huawei u8860 with a rooted gingerbread ROM try my modified rvoix (see http://code.google.com/p/rvoix/downloads/detail?name=rvoix_mod_kaefert_v2.apk ) and tell me if it works, and if it doesn't send me the logcat output?

For activating logcat on the huawei honor you first need to be on a stock ROM [does get reverted to no logging when you flash another stock ROM] and open the project menu (dial *#*#2846579#*#* ) and there is some setting to enable logging in there. other methods are also described here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...device-dev-log-main-no-such-file-or-directory

there is one link in the first post for a CM7 port, not for the bongo 1.5 but I think it will be quite the same. The Bongo ROM was linked a few pages back, just use the forum thread search feature!

UPDATE, hehe its actually not that easy since its called bingo not bongo ;) but I found it easy enough searching for "CM" -->

http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-ha...nor/232427-cyanogenmod-fuer-huawei-honor.html
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sjj1991:
Bingo! :good: Thanks..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
please, if you don't have anything to say but to thank somebody, just use the thanks button. only reply if you have something else to say.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] indian65:
yes it's bingo, not bongo, i'm apologyse, but it's sunday and I don't drink my coffee.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
CM 1.5 bingo eats battery.. and with all the trasparencies is slow.. i suggest the cm 7.2 rc0 from 4pda.. battery friendly, fast, and stable :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] morpheus620:
i have mokee os of my honor.

this is very fast and stable.

better than CM :)

http://www.mfunz.com/download/index.html
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cosmos321:
Hey morpheus

have you ever tried this version of cyanogenmod? Because you're the CM expert :o !

--> Huawei U8860 Honor (OS CyanogenMod 7.2.0 RC1.0

--> direct link: CLICK ON ME

Seems to be very stable and fast, at least according to the statement of the users in the 4PDA forum!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
what is this based on? what stock ROM, and is it modified stock, CM or MIUI?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
cm7 based :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
since this monkeeos stuff is uploaded to 115.com --> how can one download from this file provider? If google translate didn't mislead me, then you need to register to download, and they want to get a phone number for the registration, but I guess they want a chinese number...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] morpheus620:
yes i have.

was not so enthusiastic ^^

and wait 20 minutes to upload mokee os on mediafire.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cosmos321:
How did you download form the 115.com source? Do you have an account?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
thanks morpheus for uploading to mediafire!

If you're a CM7 user, could you maybe follow my request from a few posts above and try out rvoix on your honor, and tell me if it works?

http://code.google.com/p/rvoix/downloads/detail?name=rvoix_mod_kaefert_v2.apk

if it doesn't work it would be even greater if I could get a logcat output.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] morpheus620:
yes,i have a account :) :)

---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:16 PM ----------

i have a mokee os on my honor.

it is to function well?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cosmos321:
How could you register? When I enter my phone number, a message appears that the format is wrong. So, as kaefert has already said, it seems that they want to have a chinese number :D

How was your workaround?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] morpheus620:
I do not know how I registered.

It was different back then, without number.

and here a link for mokee os:

http://www.mediafire.com/?ojg2u1jpj2qgiof

edit: rvoix not work on mokee os.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
okey, thanks for trying. might it be possible to persuade you to try to get a logcat of the non functioning of rvoix? (would need it from before to after a call)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] morpheus620:
not open the project menu.

rvoix no created a log file.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
use this app

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/2804-app-free-propmodder-by-n00bware-updated-11211/

and enable logcat (last in order) :)

when and

IF

huawei will fix my honor, i will try mokee.. i ve tryed older version, but it was quite unstable..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
hmm, yeah well rvoix doesn't write the debugging messages to a logfile, you can adapt the rvoix settings that a calllog is written, but this also will not contain the debug messages I need...

The project menu is only available in stock ROMs.. Well I see it would be quite a lot effort on your side, you don't need to do it, thanks for trying, maybe when I got time I will flash gingerbread again myself and try it. For the moment I'm quite happy with ICS MIUI.

If anybody running gingerbread would be interested in getting rvoix to run, I am willing to try making it work if I get a logcat containing the debug messages of a call that failed to be recorded.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
if u want, and if the rwoix patch that you made can work in other handsets, i will try this tonight with my friend galaxy wonder phone :)

and as i ve written if someone have a custom rom and wanna help you, can try this:

use this app

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/2804-app-...updated-11211/

and enable logcat (last in order)

---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------

a little question for you kae. we have the correct source codes from android 4 (kernel 3.0.8)... if we take sources of genokolar 2.6.35.7 honor ported kernel, and we try to replace or adapt something from 3.0.8 kernel? another thing is that is possible that genokolar had left something of important while building kernel.. maybe we can rebuild 2.6.35.7 kernel from u8800pro source (at least same u8860 hadware) and add some drivers from 3.0.8? or adapt it? i know that this can be done, in the htc hd2 dev like dorimanx, o mark have done this :) so isnt impossible :)
