ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.3.6 for U8860

I'm not responsible for any problems this causes or lost data or bricked or broken devices, but that probably wont happen, so please use with caution.

Hi guys, with Recovery Builder I built new ClockworkMod Touch Recovery v6.0.3.6

Touch Recovery will only work on ICS and later kernels.

Download HERE (Touch version)

Download HERE (Non-Touch version)

So far known bugs:

- "No file_contexts" warning will display on every boot because it is no longer suppressed. This has no effect on functionality.

- Power Off doesn't work

- Mount USB storage doesn't work

- Reboots into Android after some time (maybe it's not bug?)

- You tell me?

What works:

- ADB sideload function* works perfectly (install ZIP files straight from PC, no need to use SD card)

- Everything else, beside listed bugs, I guess

* When in Adb sideload menu and phone is connected, download THIS program and install appropriate drivers, re-connect phone and you could use this convenient adb sideload function in recovery!

Installation:

1. Make sure that you use B919 as a base

2. Open bootloader mode (Volume up + Volume down + Power), connect to PC

3. Open "image" folder, make backup of all files

4. Replace rocevery.img with downloaded one

5. Take off battery

6. Enjoy new recovery

PAC-man Rom still has camera and screenshots issues which is why i still away from it till the issue is fixed.

BTW can tell how is PAC-MAN rom better than slimbean or other roms ?? i mean any technical difference ??

I m using CWMR touch v.6.0.1.0 (by Ansfer) ... Is CWM v6.0.3.6 better ?? Also can we flash it if we r on any custom rom viz slimbean or ALINA ??
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sauliuz:
Yes, you can use Touch version on any 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 ROMs. As it's newer version, you decide if it's better, it has adb sideload function. If you wont like it you could any time come back to 6.0.1.0 version, so it's not a problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] herna:
How? Simply, PAC-man ROM is a ROM which has AOKP features, ParanoidAndroid features, Cyanogenmod features, CarbonROM feature, SlimBean features, Rootbox features and also more features that the ROMs before has not like Listview Animation. So all ROMs are in one and that give a perfect experience on phones. Also for ListView Animation check that video and see how lyrics are moving when I am scrolling http://youtu.be/cNK3vex4lEg
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Sauliuz:
But those features has it's price, it uses much more ram than other ROMs, it's always ~50Mb free as i tried, and for example in Beanstalk ~150Mb. I saw kernels where there was made more ram available to user, maybe it's also possible to our huawei's?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] herna:
Yes, the kernel I am using was for a trying and experimenting, that kernel has BT working and is was I wanted to check. I am trying to fix some problems on updating kernel, but with the kernel from BeanStalk and CM 10.2 there is so much more RAM. Just will give a try tonight with another kernel to see how it works, if I see is better I will release, but we will have not BT :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vortax123:
Ahh I can finally post here :) I've been following this thread for some time!

So 3 days ago I decided to finally flash custom roms on my honor. My first attempt was with pacman 4.3 but I tried the wrong version (was for u8800pro), then immediately I flashed slimbean 8.0 (had that bug that couldn't pick up calls) and alin@ v2 (seemed ok but had some parts in russian). Then I got to the correct pac-man 4.3 for my honor, but It was getting so slow.. pressing power button would take some 3-5seconds just to light up the screen! So yesterday I downloaded beanstalk 1.300 and aokp 10th-May, flashed beanstalk and so far Its working pretty ok. Haven't tried the aokp but from what I read it should be pretty stable and functional aswell.

My biggest problem with beanstalk now is that I cant play videos (at least the flash ones), you guys know any solution? Is AOKP one of the most complete and functional roms? I dont care about Bluetooth nor tethering, but I want wifi camera and videos to work properly..

cheers!

Because it looks like this on 854x480 devices.

i want it to look like this

If you can resize the launcher i would be really grateful because i don't know anything about modding apk's and such :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] herna:
That launcher is like that. Is not resized to 480x800. That launcher recognizes hdpi not screensize, and because you device has little longer screen that 480x800 it is more up on the screen. Is not a bug :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ZozaTermina3or:
It is a bug because someone made a 854x480 port for the xperia arc S and i used it on ICS and it worked perfectly, but now since i'm using JB that launcher isn't working.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] herna:
There differents Touchwiz Launcher for diffetents Android Version. You have Galaxy s3, and Galaxy s4 Touchwiz Launcher and they work differet on ICS and JB, is by that it look like different :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ZozaTermina3or:
You don't understand what i'm saying, that port launcher only works on ICS i was using it because it was resized for 854x480 and now i'm using CM10 and it doesn't work anymore, the other launchers don't recongize 854x480 format.

Alin@ or CM10.1.2

Is Alin @ v2 better than cm10.1.2?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] surajkala:
I guess it comes down to your taste.. i m personally using ALIN @ v2 [ so far almost ok ok ] .. But some others in this thread r on slimbean .. some are on AKOP etc
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sirios6:
Gooood job it would be conviniend if we knew the bugs as well...

Also does anyone know how to unbrick a haier w718?

i have 2 of them..how can i "extract" the rom of the living one to install it to the bricked one? is that possible ? (after the unbricking)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vortax123:
Yes, for example Apollo music app was still in Russian. Maybe I did something wrong.. my base is B919 Chinese version, do I need the international version?

If you can do a nandroid backup from the functional one, maybe it will work on the bricked one? The hardware is the same, but what about the IMEI and other unique codes.. So Im really not sure ;P

So on my custom rom adventures I am now on AOKP, and I am really enjoying the fluidity of it! But its a bit of a shame its android 4.1.2.. I will probably test again Alin@ and slimbean (this time the 7.8) to compare it better :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] surajkala:
I didnt notice the Apollo music app.. as i had uninstalled it. M using a basic ANDROID MUSIC PLAYER
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vortax123:
Oh I see. But out of curiosity, which B919 did you use, the chinese or international? (if I'm not wrong, there are these two versions)

It is android 4.0.4, but it is very fast, with a lot of free ram and I didn't find any bug ! Also no reboot or FC.

Languages available are English & Russian (I've modified buid.prop to set english as default).

Very few apps pre-installed, so you'll have to install your fav ones manually. (put a keyboard app apk on your sd card, this can be helpful)

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Xperia R57:
I think i will go for AOKP for now,then lets see if i will and is everything working fine :P ...

Did you wipe everything, before change the ROM ? ( This could be the reason, if you didn't)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ZozaTermina3or:
Yes ofcourse i wiped everything.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vortax123:
Try AOKP rom, It's the most stable I've tested so far. Video playback works nicely.

[MENTION=5124013]Xperia R57[/MENTION] yes its a good one to start, its very stable and functional ;)

I am really curious about the baiducloud, so I will flash it now, but if it goes wrong I already know that my save haven is AOKP rom :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ZozaTermina3or:
That's not my problem atm, the problem is that video playback did work before! now it's not working.

EDIT: I also find Da_Nya's v2.5 CM10 and Dolmatov94 1.0.3 to be the most stable CM10 custom roms because everything works on both and they're smooth and no random reboots either, and the sound is really good on both.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] surajkala:
Alina is okay.. everything works fine.. except BT and Wifi teether doesn't work for me [but i guess works for other] apart from this ROM is gr8. stable enough for daily usage

What about RAM ?? on ALINA i get around 100 MB free ram after installing all must have apps like [whatsapp etc]

Free Ram is often above 100 MB, and up to ~180-190MB. At this moment I have 165 MB free

I am gonna release a new kernel. I have not time for build a new CM till some days so I will give public that kernel, read the following things:

- KSM ACTIVATED FOR MORE RAM FREE( You need to activate it on Perfomance, then click on the third option, and again on the third option)

- FIXED ERRORS ABOUT BUTTONS THAT SOME USERS HAD

- You need to replace that file on system/lib/modules and give permissions.

The interface feels a little more sluggish compared to AOKP, (maybe Ill try crossbreeder [MENTION=4257203]vierri[/MENTION] did you flash any MOD such as crossbreeder and/or turbo boost?) It has a lot of free ram (168MB right now)! You have to install almost everything because it is a very stripped down rom. Im using lgcamera and android stock keyboard and its all working great! The baiducoud interface is nice, it really improves on the stock 4.0.4!

No I did not install any mod on baiduCloud as it works great as it is.

Yeah so CM 10.1.2 doesn't want to play videos anymore and keeps on crashing apps and such it has never done that before, the ROM is quite rubbish now considering i've done almost everything to try to fix this issue.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] herna:
Crashing what apps? Fix play videos is little easy, I couldn't compile new one, is why is not working. What kernel and kernel version are you using?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ZozaTermina3or:
I'm using the CM 10.1.2 that dess ported to our phones, videos used to work and everything was fine until one day the phone decided to crash and now videos don't work, but no more crashing apps though, but CM 10.1.2 ruined video playback on every 4.2.2 ROM i flash.

4.1.2 Works just fine, i regret flashing CM 10.1.2 it broke my video playback :/

I got annnoyed by bright buttons backlight at night, so created flashable ZIP to solve this problem.

Just flash THIS zip through CWM recovery and you will have lowest value possible for backlight intensity. It's visible only at night, so it also should use little less battery. Should work with all ROM's as it's simple, but for rooted stock roms with stock kernel use THIS first.
