For me flashing a gapps package got me all the standard google apps, including google maps. maybe they have some logic that automatically removes / hides google maps for people in contries where they don't want it running. I have no idea.

There is a thread about google maps here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1007132

The latest version seems to be google maps 6.4.0
[Miscellaneous Android Development] davinccy:
Thank you for your feedback. By the way, I tried installing the gapps package without rooting my phone and it worked. Just want to share the information as the other thread says that it should not.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] HellandB:
Hi!

I downloaded and installed HUAWEI_U8860_Android 4.0_ICSV100R001C00B977 from the link you posted in the first post. I manged to change the language from Chinese to English, but I doesnt look like Google (gapps) is installed, it looks like it has a Chinese system called Hispace.

Do you know how I can get Google apps like Market, syncing option etc. without rooting my device?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
Well, as I stated before, I have no big interest in non-rooted devices, but as the poster above you stated, you can flash gapps.zip files also without rooting. and then you need to make the google apps visible by "calling" this *#.... number (look at the links in my first post
[Miscellaneous Android Development] HellandB:
Thank you for the fast replay.

I cannot mount my sd-card on the computer. When i connect the cable I get two choices in the android top-bar menu, Media device (MTB) or camera (PTP).

edit.

I found out that MTB mounts the entire sd-card. After that I followed the guide by arnt2 that was linked in the first post (link).

And now I can use Google marked.

Thank you guys!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
What operating system do you use on your computer where you mount your phones SD-Card with MTP? I am using Ubuntu and although I could follow a guide to enable MTP on my system the results where quite buggy, and deletion and renaming stuff didn't work, only copying from and to the device worked well. Therefore I mainly use QtADB for manipulating the SD-Cards content from the PC.

I also tried to mount my SD-Card on my Windows7 computer on my work but that didn't work (out of the box) either..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] HellandB:
Hi,

I am using Windows 7 64-bit. It was no hassle with it.

1. connecting my USB cable from mobile to pc

1.1 A window automatically opens in Windows with "auto run mobile partner"

2. open the top taskbar on the mobile and choose "Connect as an installer"

3. Choose Media devicce (MTP)

3.1 The sd-card is mounted on the pc.

Now I got another problem with Google Play (market), all my apps are synced, but I cant install my paid apps, they still show the price as they arent bought.

Anyone know how to fix this? Is it possible to have a overview of the apps in my Google account on my computer?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kaefert:
Well, I don't buy apps, therefore I don't know this problem, but when I go to this link: https://play.google.com/apps I see all apps that I ever installed on a phone (or if you go directly to https://play.google.com you have a "my apps" button on the top right somewhere which links to the same site)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] HellandB:
Thank you!

Thats the link I was searching for.

From that link it is possible to install the apps from internett to my phone directly. This is workaround, I cant download the apps from the market on the mobile without bying them. But I stick with it!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] EnDSK:
Hey has anyone experienced any over heating problem with the u8860? The area of my soft keys and behind it the lower part of the battery usually heat up abnormally. More when I'm using it heavily but also when I'm using it normally

Help please.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] davinccy:
EnDSK, I have not encountered that problem before. Maybe you could get it switched out with your vendor?

I am using the Chinese stock ROM (B977), same as the previous Chinese stock ROMs, the English dictionary (spelling correction/prediction) doesn't work for me. Is this normal? If it is, do you know of a way to enhance it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nahz:
my problem: I am unable to add my primary gmail account to my phone, error msg is as following "user name and password error" but its fine when i tried logging in with my desktop. I tried using another email no problem i am able to login.

How it starts:

Initially i was using ICS with the firmware before B977, i was able to sync my email but after upgrading my firmware (B977) gapps disappears, so decided to downgrade to GB using superuser etc. This is where the problem begins i am now unable to add my primary email account using my phone.

Anyone has any idea how to solve this?

thx

p/s i am in a hurry so what i wrote might be a little messy.

update:

tried using "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip" didn't work , i suspect it has something to do with the email because when i tried using my friend's phone couldn't login also same error message.

update 2:

problem solved

What's a recovery?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sutriadi:
My Huawei Honor with GB have 512 MB RAM. When i've upgrade to ICS (Huawei's official ROM), my RAM just have 350 MB. And i've one or two unexpected reboots every day too.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lykkis:
Maybe this is off topic here, but i will try anyway...

I went from a HTC Legend/Wildfire S and Desire to Huawei Honor and i think this phone is good. But what i miss is the own section on XDA that those other has. I searched and found out that HTC One already has own section and that phone is not even released yet.

So my question is.... Why can't we get this for our Honor U8860?

It's like we are left out for choosng a different phone, no support.

This is one of the top selling phones in Norway at the moment!

All i do now is googling my phone all day looking for clues to what to do with it.

I'm still on unrooted GB 2.3.6. Won't update to 4.0.3 yet until i find a proper rom.

I choose this phone over Samsung Xcover, Motorola Defy+, SE Xperia Arc S...

Hi morpheus

Is this the Rom(U8860,Android 4.0,V100R001CHNC00B923SP03) I downloaded at Huawei Website which it will not be working.

Because I can get to the pink screen, I cannot get to this step (

A few disks should be mounted, search for the one that has an "image" folder with an recovery.img and a boot.img inside it. rename the recovery.img to recovery-bak.img (or simular) and copy recovery-u8860-en.img there and rename it to recovery.img) Please help thanks

Hi guys,

Thx for the read - I learned a lot in here. After visiting a few different roms, my backup of shipped stock GB puts my phone in bootloop when restored (coming from a GB build). My phone shipped with a version, that had Danish language and USB access in pink screen. Any idea where to find that version now?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] paul89rulez:

There is a new official ROM = U8860, Android 4.0,V100R001C17B923SP03, dated 2012-06-14, 365.24MB.

Anyone has tried this new one?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] arompoenya13:
After upgrade, i have trouble with gapps only for play store always fc.

Anyone can help?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] morpheus620:
install the B919 and then a custom rom on base 923.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arompoenya13:
I upgrade from b919 before.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] morpheus620:
right.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arompoenya13:
Problem solved..only flash and install gapps.

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] neoblast:
Just to make things clear for everyone. Here are the steps to get B923 with gapps

1. Update to b919 through OTA or other

2. Be sure to have the custom recovery img available here afterwards

3. Download the rom here

4. Change the file name to update.zip and put it on sd root

5. Run in recovery and apply update

You cannot update from b923 because the pink screen trick dont work anymore (wont mount in windows to change the recovery file)

Also the b923 from Huawei website is full of garbage as it's the China Unicom version.

Finally, thank you morpheus620 for this nice rom!

in b923 sound in call is too low, but i found a solution:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1439703

yeah, is a program that i have already used it in htc hd2, it works, now the sound is clear and high :)

-how to install: simply reboot in recovery and flash it :)

i wanna advice a program: camera ics from market, set the quality of images on ultra, enjoy :)

- for video use lg camera

regarding the bad memory managment in b923 too (less tha b919 but is still present, always here on byrdie custom rom) you can use for a bit of more multitasking, ram manager pro (this rom wont install superchargerd for me, have deodexed it, but if i replace service.jar, the rom go in a bootloop, and i have to reflash backup)

as always install sgs touch screen booster and set it to super optimized :)

hope some found this triks useful :)
