Paul89, did you got my message?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
paul I think that dzo is developing for the Ideos X5 U8800 and since the have not got official android 4 from huawei he ported the official U8860 ICS kernel for their device. So that git-hub repository is just a modified version of the one and only kernel for the honor (for which the sources have been published), modified that it works for the ideos x5. see this thread for details:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1577876

that comments that you saw that say u8860 just mean that they checked in the sources from u8860 initially for starting to modifying them

EDIT: the kernel_huawei.tar.xz that you provided the link to seems to be a 2.6. kernel (found this info in the file kernel_huawei/Documentation/Changes) I am trying to find out for what device it is meant, but haven't yet. But I would guess its also for the ideos x5, since its also called "kernel_huawei" just as the dzo repository
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
I really would like to see the publishing of our kernel sources happening. On the 20th of May I wrote that email to those 3 contact emails of huawei that I could find

SupportUSA@huawei.com

mobile@huawei.com

cs@huawei.com

Dear Sirs and Madams!

More than a week ago, on the 2012-05-11 you published a new ROM
version called "U8860,Android_4.0,V100R001CHNC00B919" for the Phone
Huawei U8860 Honor on this page:
http://www.huaweidevice.com/cn/technicaIndex.do?method=gotoProductSupport&productId=3884&tb=1

By the licensing terms of the GPL, under which license the linux
kernel is supplied, you are oblidged to publish the sources of any
modifications for which you also publish binaries you built from your
modifications.

You did publish Kernel sources called
"software-kernel-3.0.8-U8860-IcecreamSandwich" on the 2012-02-13,
however, those do not contain the new HDR-camera modifications that
are part of the binaries included in the new
"U8860,Android_4.0,V100R001CHNC00B919" ROM. Therefore you have to
publish the new kernel sources.

Also you did not publish the kernel sources for the older Android 2.3
ROMs like this one "U8860，Android 2.3，V100R001CHNC00B876". I may again
remind you that it is your obligation to publish the sources of any
modifications to the Linux kernel that you are using in your products
or for which you are publishing binaries.

Maybe some of you could bug them also that you want them to release those kernel sources, maybe translate the message to other languages (especially chinese would be great if someone here hast that skill) or modify it in other ways. I did not yet recieve any answer from them, but maybe it has more impact if they recieve more mails asking for the same thing.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] miguxbe:
Good job kaefert, I recommend you post it on gpl-violations
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
well the problem is, that huawei is chinese, and as far as I understand it is not possible to hold chinese firms accountable for ignoring the GPL. The only thing the cinese justice system is interested in busting human right activists. And the us / european justice systems are not interested in busting chinese firms.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] miguxbe:
Yes… Unfortunately, you're right, it's a very disappointing situation in terms of justice. But, we can't lose the hope :rolleyes: .
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
Well one other thing we could do is contact our resellers. They also can be held responsible for what they sell, and since the phones are delivered with android 2.3.6 and the kernel sources for this version are not available, they should take care of having those sources released.

And my reseller was amazon.de, and they are not that far away from a sensible justice system (germany has busted gpl violaters previously already)

but that wouldn't help us for getting the kernel sources for the new B919 release
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ksuuk:
Right now I have non rooted, 2.6.35-7-perf Kernel and B873? Seems GB have also different builds as I have read different rooting options for GB. How to find the right rooting method?

And when You find the way how to remove these bloatware built in apps, please let us know.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
okey so I sent an email to amazon about this GPL violation and asked them to make Huawei release those sources, let's see if/what they will answer
[Miscellaneous Android Development] miguxbe:
Ok, I will try to send a email to my reseller.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] leholtet:
does anybody have the same problem with the phone as me? that it makes an awful noise for the one you are calling?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
that sounds like a defect microphone. try using a headset / different headsets. But you probably have to send it in for repair (or use your right to withdraw from your purchase, if you have one)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
no, i think its the second microphone, you know how to edit build prop?

we have two mic, one its in the front side of the cellphone, and one is back, for the noise and echo reduction.. but sometime dont do hes work XD

sensors on while screen off

Hi, I couldn't find an answer, I'm sorry if this has been asked previously...

Does anyone know if when you switch off the screen (SCREEN_OFF) the sensors of the device are still working??

I need to work with the accelerometer even if the screen is off, I know other devices like HTC or ASUS do it, but for example LG or ZTE doesn't.

Thanks

Does the Honor support AWS? (1700/2100 for WIND Mobile in Canada, would I get 3G data?)

I also believe there's only one version of the Honor.

I saw on many websites that the honor (eg. gsmarena) had the 1700 frequency for WIND, but on an equal amount of other websites that it didn't include it (eg. Huawei's official website O_O).

If anybody could help me with this little situation, it'd be great !

U8860-51 No 3G Connection

Dear all,

I need your help! I have this Honor U8860-51. After I flashed ICS, I lost 3G connectivity. Now I can only get EDGE connection. No matter what stock rom I flash from the ones available on the Internet, the phone only finds 2G networks.

Everytime I had installed a Rom I checked the APN settigns, so the problem is with the roms themselves.

Is there someone who has the stock rom for the model of Honor I have?

Please Help!!

Thanks.

Hi

After I upgrading ICS in huawei honor, I have a problem with wifi. When I turn on wifi and connect network. Phone is rebooting and stop in huawei logo. Take out battery and then need to turn off wifi. My ICS version is 977. If can't fix the bug, Can I downgrade to GB?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] morpheus620:
new MIUI v4 has been released

this version base on new B919.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] EnDSK:
Ok guys I am really sick of this phone now thinking of changing to an HTC One V. Ive tried everything. ICS is very unstable and now I was using.GB with MIUI Doc 3000 ROM..phone crashes every time it has to do something hard..have alot of free ram but it crashes every time I run temple run or NBA Jam etc. Didn't happen to me before but it does now. It reboots alot. What do I do?

If u advise to change the OS or something please give links.

Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
gb doc3000 crashes becouse, if u have read the last 10 post, huawei didnt relased yet the source code for honor, so the kernel tha genokolar made, its quite unstable in EU HONORS, but in ru, and in some chinese one, all its ok..concerning the rom, at 15 june huawei will relase the ics final version, if u want to use ics use b919 CHINESE GENERIC VERSION (HAVE ALL LANGUAGES) flash the gapps aplly v6 supercharged (512 hp 5 multitasking), or flash first b919, than the new miui 4 (i will try miui us http://roms.miui.us/), or stick with gb 2.3.6, do some mods that i ve write here post ago, and you wont change your phone :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] EnDSK:
How can I find out which version of the Honor I have? I mean Chinese Russian or European..

Secondly, is 15th June release date confirmed?

Thirdly when I tried supercharger it ended up killing all my apps on ics :/
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
yes, because you use minfree calculator :| try the ledded multitasking (option 5) :) for the date, i ve read this on miui ch site with translator :) simply.. where you buy your honour? btw, i will try miui us, but for me, the best is b870 2.3.6 (on first page of this post) use launcher pro and supercharger only with option 5, nitro lag, sgs touch screen booster, and you will be fine.. and you have to understand that now ics is still in early version, b919 too, its not the last relase, so.. only little patience, i will too buy an htc sensation, but hey, honor have the best battery life that i evere see on a smartphone.. with low use 4 days, average 2.5/3, intensive 30 hours! this is impressive!

-edit- eh..regarding miui v4 b919..its too slow.. and the rom have only 80mb free stock.. :|
[Miscellaneous Android Development] EnDSK:
Alright ill try thanks alot.

B866SP01 ROM + Quick Setting Control Button / Patch UPDATE.APP?

Hello friends,

This is my first post here so bear with me if its a bit long. I want to put the Quick Setting Control buttons in the notification area same like the B876 ROM from China site.

My question is does anybody know any B866SP01 ROM that comes togetherwith the quick setting control buttons in the notification area?

I have two Huawei Honor devices and unknowingly I flashed both with a B866SP01 ROM but has different characteristics which is :-

1. One has the quick setting control buttons and the other doesn't

2. One has the Notification setting option in the Display Menu setting and the other doesn't

3. One has shorter Language selection list (about 20) and the other has a very long list

I don't remember where the ROM is as I have cleaned up my ROM collections so it may have been deleted and getting it back is already too late.

Also maybe I used the same official B866SP01 ROM but flashed some kind of patch UPDATE.APP that contains the differences but not sure.

Anybody can help me to find the solution to this?

Thanks a lot for the attention and hopefully we all can benefit from any help here..

:)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
flash b870 wich have all lenguages like all huawei official firmware, and a dload_2.. you find this in the first page of this post
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Maxxcon:
This is not B866SP01? The dload_2 does what?

Does it says B870 but actually B866SP01 and have the quick setting control buttons in the notification area?

Hey Paul (& others interested ;))

The new MIUI 2.6.8 is now finally based on B919!

See changelog: http://miui-germany.de/forum2/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=5189

I'm gonna try it out today, I wonder if their call recording works with the new version.

UPDATE: the miui-germany version does not give me any connection, no wifi and no phone or mobile network. After observing this with an upgrade I tried a full wipe with the same result. gonna try miuiandroid.com version now
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
hey kaefert :) yes, i ve tryed it, but for me is too slow :|
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
did it work for you? for me it was very unstable, and no mobile network, no phone. neither in the version from miui-germany.de nor in the version from miuiandroid.com
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
yes, it worked perfectly for me o.o mmm...try to reflash b919 stock and reflash miui.. ah, i have installed it with the new b919 recovery (chinese new ics recovery) hope this helps :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] morpheus620:
install the B919 before install MIUI and works perfect.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
ahh, yes okey. that makes sense. didn't think about that ;) gonna try it in a few days, thanks for the hint.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] EnDSK:
Guys is there a sense rom for this phone?

Or ssome app/mod that gives the Sense look and feel? Except for MIUI themes -.-
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cymagnus:
Tested out MIUI 2.6.8. Works beautifully. Caller ID linked to contacts (and pictures) finally worked.

Got to flash B919 first. I am using the same recovery.img as the one in the first post to replace over the stock. After that, flash MIUI as per normal. So far no issues.

Custom Kernel for ICS

To OP:

I just installed the kernel you link to in 1st post. I'm running MIUI based on B919, and the kernel seems to destroy WI-FI?

Have you tried this combination, and do you know of any updated kernels? I would love to use smartassV2, but google isn't helping me :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
this because the kernel is not for b919, wich have new radio :| so you cant use that in b919 :| there are no sources for new kernel :|
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bottedumal:
Hi!

to get the last MIUI based on B919 to work well, you have to first flash B919 then MIUI 2.6.8

after that if you use MIUI restore you have to NOT RESTORE the wifi parameter or it breaks wifi. :)

---------- Post added at 11:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 AM ----------

Oh this sounds like my prob, since last MIUI update (2.6.8) the people I speak with hear me very bad!

Problem is when I type this in dialer, after the last character the number disapears but nothing happens :( A menu should pop out or something like this right??

Another problem, when I change fonts, I got chain reboot and have to restore backup. Someone have same problem?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
its a miui 2.6.8 bug with the problem while mounting usb mass storage (device is reconized as cd drive)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
This projectmenu is not included in most custom roms, therefore you need to first flash stock ROM to access that menu
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
or you can modify build.prop

hw.secondary_mic=0

:)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bottedumal:
tried this, but this line is not present in my build.prop, same for ro.config.dualmic= which is not in:(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
:| so i dont know how to help you, because i have gb 2.3.6 now
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bottedumal:
no worries! actually i put b919 stock ics from huawei, the menu with advanced settings is available, but the dualmic option is gone!!!

but it seems the sound is good... now have to try to go back to miui :)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
downloading..

seems improved, but, no root, no gapps :|
[Miscellaneous Android Development] carstenheuer:
is there any other possibility to root the phone???
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
well does this new release replace the custom recovery? if not, then you don't need the pink screen to flash a root enabling package.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] carstenheuer:
stock roms replace everytime the recovery ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
are you sure? I thought it wouldn't. but well, its a long time ago that I flashed a stock update last time. well maybe we can somehow extract the update.app image and make an update.zip from it without the stock recovery
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:
kae, if u want, i d postet a program some post ago that is able to extract update.app :| because there is no metod to root b923 now.. tryed unlock root, superoneclick, and the update app for 2.3.6 (dont use it, will brick your device). the problem is the gapps..

-here u go, but cant download anything right now, im from phone :|

http://www.miui.com/thread-516880-1-2.html
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
with brick you mean not bootable and you need to flash a stock update again, or do you mean really bricked? does the update key combo not work?!

about the gapps: once you have root you can deploy recovery without pink screen and then flash gapps.zip without a problem.
