It has all Euro language. Rootet it with the pink screen metod, installed SU and busybox. Now it will do anything i like. Removed lots of bloatware like facebook, twitter, google+.... Also deleted the crap HuaweiIME and ALL language for it.

Using SwipeIT for sms'ing. Also added adfree. ;)

Now this phone is GREAT! (Only overclock left to do now...)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] freakysands:
do you have this hdr-camera thing wihtin the rom? if so, could you upload the apk?

forget my request, found the apk :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lykkis:
Sorry for no reply, went to the movies. Saw American Pie: Reunion. Funny movie.

Do you have it? Is camera better than orginal built into ICS?

Can you give me link?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] carstenheuer:
do you mean the camera.apk from the B913SP01 build? it will be nice when you upload the file ;-)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] freakysands:
if flashed the same build you're using: C00B913SP01

you should've the HDR-cam too.

right now i'll try to erase a folder (/cust/hw/normal/app) with rootexplorer but its not working. filesystem is write protected and i've got no idea how to gain r/w access :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] carstenheuer:

Guys, while installing a new ROM I made a format of recovery by mistake :silly: Could anyone send me the files? I have only backup of recovery.img. Thanks!

Edit: Everything works again, I am testing the new B932.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] maga77:
What it means?

maybe that tomorrow the new miui 2.8.31 wil be based on the stock ICS 932?

If so... I hope that version will be a real stable version... without FC or lag..

its out! miui on b932!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] ksuuk:
Right away when B923 is installed, the B928 is offered, so it's actually B928. About B932, I'll wait until it's/or newer is available via OTA, as I don't wan't to test, but use the phone:)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] neoblast:
i tested it and its great compared to b923. i didnt try b928... is it same as b926? i think so... b926 sucks as much as 923...

but now im on the new miui release and im thinking of reverting to b932, its really good
[Miscellaneous Android Development] maga77:
I will wait the official release on miuiandroid.com
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ksuuk:
As I haven't tried any other ICS, I can't tell:(. But to get B932 I must first downgrade to the B919, right? And then using morelanguage to get Estonian (is it there?) and also install later Google stuff?

Or something else?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] neoblast:
this is the official release. miuiandroid is not official.

see: http://www.miui.com/getrom.php?r=23

---------- Post added at 10:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 AM ----------

yea. need to get back to b919 then recovery to b932. and yes, there is only chinese or english language available on it. and you need to add google apps. in all, you're done in 20minutes if you have all the files on hand.

personally, i feel the speed and stability of b92X is unbearable but to each his own. its less trouble to just use the OTA...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] EnDSK:
Which files? Could you be more specific? What apps are you running when you have 130 mb free on B932? Please provide links to all the files needed for the upgrade..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JanviN:
Someone here tried the latest Miui?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] neoblast:
i used the birdyi version of b932 i think i provided the link already had not much installed but still, nova launcher was running with qq and wexin +swiftkey keyboard. the original have, as always, low memory, but at least launcher does not crash anymore and overall b932 feel quite snappy. i compare it with the newest miui and i prefer it.

i gave details here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30866428&postcount=1370

idk yet ive been flashing roms non stop the last 3 days. ill need 1-2more days. now im trying MIUI today, monday ill try b932 again
[Miscellaneous Android Development] worshishen:
i used the birdyi version of b932 too its a lot more stable and choppy and webpages load faster.

how ever the build number states B930 and launcher still crashes when i use memory intensive apps
[Miscellaneous Android Development] VolumeEST:
Can somebody help me? I wanna install the newest B932 but i dont find the Direct link, can somebody Paste it here and is it true that i need B919 to install the B932.Can somebody can make a little guide or tutorial.

Search few pages back, there was guide.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JanviN:
OK, I've now tested the new b932 based Miui 2.8.31. Its even worse than before.

60 MB memory free on a idle system, back to doc's miui I guess..

Honor ICS - The end. Done deal.. at least for me!!

EDIT:

5 mins usage, memory dropped to 35 MB free..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ksuuk:
Maybe we all concentrating to much for the amount of free memory, as also normally Linux occupies whole memory and later decides how much to share to the apps who needs the memory most.

Of course we can tune little bit also with "renice" command the priority of running processes, for example 4pda.ru suggests:

#!/system/bin/sh

sleep 30

renice -20 `pidof com.android.phone`

renice -15 `pidof com.android.systemui`

renice -8 `pidof com.android.settings`

renice 19 `pidof kswapd0`
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tropblaster:
So much talk about the new ics build but anyone tested the new b886 GB build that was released?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ksuuk:
Just noticed that ICS is missing Huawei -s Power Saving Mode app, and also when battery gets empty, no red warning led anymore. Why Huawei removes good things and forces us search alternatives?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] t-ryder:
I really regret buying the Honor and I am thinking of selling it again.

It's a pity. I bought it because I like the design of the phone and - that is the main reason - because there is an official MIUI v4 for it.

I should've kept my Desire S. It was worn out, but lots of great working ROMs and great performance for such an old phone.

Sorry for my strong language... but **** it.

notification toggle

hello all...

did anyone try to flash b886 or b925?

I've tried but i lost the notification toggle,...

imo so far b925 is nice rom than others, better memory management i think...

b886 same as b870 i think, no major different...

i need notification toggle, is there anything can help me?

thx

sorry for my english...lol...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gintariukeas:
You can find more roms on net, but the problem is majority of users are from Russia and China... like you need google translate everything..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] neoblast:
i dont see why so many of you are so in love with miui. it sucks balls. get the birdyi ics and you'll be happy
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ksuuk:
I bypassed, but using at the moment ICS, it sounds like a good plan, if just someone would confirm that it's rootable.

Some German users have tested it - http://translate.google.ee/translat...i-honor/293038-rom-gb-b886-international.html
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ksuuk:
From 4pda.ru:

Found a way to fix the "com.android.systemui":

1) Root + RootExplorer

2) Move with root file /system/app/ToolBox.apk to the sd card

3) Reboot your phone

4) Install ToolBox.apk like any other application

5) Reboot your phone

Toolbar now works for me fine.

Can somebody throw me the Norway B928, i would be very happy. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ksuuk:
Noticed, that when screen is OFF, incoming SMS doesn't switch ON the screen, only sound alert and green led blinks. Is it same for You using ICS also?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] math.Nur:
thx, i will try it later, now i used ics birdy, look good so far...

of course yess same as me, just blink lip lop...lol,,,,:laugh::laugh:

B925 is for Norway.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wildcheese:
In all this ICS messages - I managed to downgrade my Honor which was delivered with stock ICS to GB thanks to lots of messages in this forum (thanks all ;) ), and installing CWM and get root access.

Finally its the phone i want, with ICS it looked nice but the battery life was bad, but that may have been caused by something else as I read here that most have positive experiences with ICS. And also the phone wasn't really snappy, had a lot of lags which annoyed me. With GB I get a battery life of up to 2 days with heavy use (1,5 hour spotify a day, couple phone calls and emails) and 3-4 days with light use. Its snappy and didnt had any crashes yet.

On the downside, the huawei stuff is kinda ugly, I replaced all with the go launcher, dailer, emailand sms so most times it looks pretty cool. Its now working so well that I dont know if I want to try to update to ICS again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] desalesouche:
hi all .i can notice that last ics stock rom(B9232/B925 norway/B923 norway) but also last GB B886 canno't be completely rooted. it would be nice if someone could solve that problem. so we could delete bloatware, undesired applications but also all the unusefull language packs...thx
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ksuuk:
I rooted B923&B928 with scripts, provided by 4pda.ru, just to show what they do, here the bat files, first adds, second removes:

@echo off

adb start-server

adb wait-for-device

@echo "copy all root files"

@echo off

adb push %cd%/root_tools /data/local/tmp/

adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/mempodroid

adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/ROOT.sh

adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox

adb shell /data/local/tmp/"mempodroid 0xd454 0xaac3 sh /data/local/tmp/ROOT.sh"

adb kill-server

@echo "All complite! Enjoy rooting Huawei Honor -)"

@echo off

adb start-server

adb wait-for-device

adb push remove_root.sh /data/local/tmp/

adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/remove_root.sh

adb shell "su -c '/data/local/tmp/remove_root.sh'"

adb kill-server

pause

echo "All Done, Thank's"

Scripts added, give a try.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] desalesouche:
trying it. will tell you.thx a lot.

edit:did you try it with GB? it seems not to work..will try later wit ICS
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ksuuk:
I used it only with ICS. But according to the 4pda.ru B886 is also rootable. Maybe with this instructions - http://devfaq.ru/ru/q/13569

Edit: 4pda.ru (via google translate) suggested:

1. At the root of the SD card write archive superuser_3.0.7_elite_update.zip

2. Turn off the device (remove the battery);

3. Hold the volume button and the - and the power button;

4. A pink boot screen (the button can be released);

5. The device is connected to the PC is detected as a removable drive;

6. Copy recovery.img and preferably shelled cust.img image to a folder with the replacement;

7. Turn off the device from the PC, (remove the battery) set back five seconds (otherwise a pink screen not to go);

8. Hold the volume button and the power button;

9. Go into ClockworkMod recovery and insert commands:

1) wipe data / factory reset;

2) wipe cache partition;

3) advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache;

4) install zip from sdcard;

5) choose zip from sdcard, choose superuser_3.0.7_elite_update.zip;

6) Go back to the main menu, select Reboot system;
[Miscellaneous Android Development] speedyg0nz:
Had the same experience with launcher lagging when running low on memory. However, I'm really glad to see that the Gallery app is finally syncing with Google Photos in this build.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] desalesouche:
for the moment, none of the various rooting method give complete root.there are still part of the phone system with no rights to delete, etc....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ksuuk:
BTW, have anyone figured out, how does ICS built in application app disable services? As disabled app stays in folder with correct extension and when I use for example another application "Root App Delete app", it renames the file extension to .bak

I'm guessing, that just renaming the file extension doesn't prevent depending services constantly trying to execute this app and so spend the CPU power for nothing.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cosmos321:
i use the "normal" version of ics b932 and here the gallery doesn't sync with picasa. can you please add the gallery3d.apk(gallery2.apk) from "/system/app" here? would be ver nice!!! so i can test if it's working on "normal" b932 too!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lykkis:
The whole build numbers, ICS, GB is a mess. B866, B886SP01, B870, B886, B912, B919, B923, B923SP01 and so one. Can¨t they just make ONE that WORKS? Tried the B925 Norway since i'm norwegian, and it was crap like rest of the ICS releases. So back to GB for me and installed B886 this time, and it was just as good as B870.

The B925 was missing the weather app that is on front screen and just as bad memory management as rest if the ICS releases.

Don't get me wrong, the phone is great running Gingerbread, and it shows that Huawei can if they want. Why don't they just make ONE 4.0.or 4.1 that WORKS?

I miss the HTC scene, with the devs and own forums here on XDA. So i might go back to them, was considering getting the Huawei Ascend P1 but that is the same mess as with Honor U8860 with build numbers and so on. Samsung is not an option, they have become a fashion thing just like Apple (I hate Apple!). Motorola is owned by Google, but with their Razr no official 4.0 update YET and that is terrible. so Motorola is also not an option. Sony is just boring. Boring phones, boring user interface, but they are great on updates!

What exited me about the Honor U8860 was value for money and the specs. Now the phone is outdated, boring and just messy with all going around with new buildnumber, pink screens, no root, root, root won't work from their site even with unlock bootloader, bad support from community.

Sorry for this rant, just had enough of this. going to run B886 until i buy new phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ksuuk:
I fully understand Your frustration. First I had idea to buy Xiaomi, as big community is behind it, but no local seller or service:(. So when finally Huawei was official represented in Estonia, I got Honor.

Yes, the phone is great, but the company attitude is very bad, they are violating GPL, they won't respond to customers and their firmware version policy is a mess. I agree, that there should be two firmwares for each model (BTW, also too much models, soon like Samsung already), GB and ICS, plus extra localization/custom packages for different countries.

There is big community in Russia, they would do the development for free, but without source and Huawey support, it's difficult. Seems they are growing so fast, that public relations and normal attitude is forgot.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wildcheese:
I agree as well. It's almost the same issues as HTC had in the beginning, while HTC solved it more or less they still have issues. I did move back to GB too and installed the go launcher, dailer and other go apps. It looks way better than the Huawei and even in my opinion it looks better then HTC sense (on my Desire I had Sense 3.0).

The honor with GB is i think for now the better choice.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] JanviN:
What apk is requesting PIN code (SIM lock)?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] neoblast:
for those wondering battery life of b932 (birdyi version) heres what i got today with normal use including music playing for a while and wifi open all day, some downloads on the market and sync of 3 email accounts + drop box + kakao + weixin + qq +google drive running in background
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ksuuk:
From 4pda.ru post - http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=302007&view=findpost&p=15453160

Google translate:

"That's how it feels to phone his wife from 932 + Google Apps + Russian + Cleanead Chinese stuff firmware B932: 5 days! Such indicators nor 2.3.6 (867) or the 4.0.3 (924) were not. On Saturday and Sunday she went to the forest for half an hour listening to music until the mushrooms collected. As the agent is sitting for an hour a day somewhere. Screenshots attached:"

So it's possible but I rather wait for the official B932, than try this:).

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lykkis:
I did not see or notice any difference to B870, but since it's newer it must be better.

So sick of these buildnumbers, why can't they just make stuff work? No ICS that is any good yet. All versions are crap.

Have not tested B932 but since B925 is crap, i think it's just as crap...

I updated to this ROM from the Huawei China website: U8860,Android 4.0,V100R001CHNC00B932SP01 (08-28-12)

Now my U8860 won't complete any other stock ROM reflashes.

My computer doesn't see the "image" partition so I can't replace the recovery program.

The recovery program is jacked also.

It did let me flash the small update dated (08-29-12)

I was able to re-root it.

So end result, a couple of things in Chinese, no ability to install a recovery program, stock recovery semi-jacked, no gapps, no way to flash a custom ROM.

I guess I will wait until they post another ROM update. maybe that one will un-jack it so I can downgrade to a different ROM. :(
