Hello, Kalo!

We searched Anzhi forum and found many interesting things about cores (boot.img).

For example here are two complete edited boot.img for CM7 and MIUI with less power consuming http://bbs.anzhi.com/thread-5182649-1-1.html

And here is edited core from stock b572

http://bbs.anzhi.com/thread-5182649-1-1.html

I will test them later with your rom, but would be glad if someone help me :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mariosbbs:
please, can you download and post on some "regular" filesharing host the files ? I'm unable to download from chinese site :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] marcolnx:
settings net mobile -> Active always-on mobile

ro.config.hw_RemindWifiToPdp=true

Also this one don't restore this setting :(

Restored reject message (ro.config.hw_reject_message = true) and this work
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] giris:
here are interesting too:

http://bbs.anzhi.com/thread-5166644-1-1.html

http://bbs.anzhi.com/thread-5066994-1-1.html

The basic interesting thing is dim soft key lights. Automatic control is working well too. I have tested it. Chinese writing, that the source code is on github. Maybe you found interesting this info :)

Hi linomaniac, since the apk file (both ToolBox.apk and Framewor-res.apk) are encripted, I am not able to "cut" the description names space.... The only way is to change the color (from white to gray) and delete names from the description. In the near future I hope to edit the toolbox.apk but at the moment I cannot do the job.

Hi Filatov.p, always active in this discussion, you are my right arm!

Pay attention with boot.img because you have to use only the zImage and not the complete boot.img.

Since you are using B876_KALO, you have to use my ramdisk.

And the boot.img is made from ramdisk + zImage.

So, it's lecit to use another zImage in association with my ramdisk.

I will create different boot.img so all users can test different cores, ok?

I am interested too.

Thank you always!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Faithlezz:
Kalo, can you tell, what strings in build.prop are disabling creation of bugreports? And enough only edit this file?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
To disable bugreports you have to work into ramdisk!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Faithlezz:
Thanks, I will try.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Hi!

I'm happy that you like this rom, anyway the launcher pro which is included in the package is the latest available version.

In launcher pro is not permitted to create folders and this particular launcher is the most fluid possible among others.

For this reason I included this launcher: performance + dimension (MB) + CPU resources.

I hope to find a better launcher that maybe supports other features like yours preferences, but it's difficult at the same conditions (performance, dimensions and cpu load).

Regards,

kalo86

EDIT

: Now in v1.2 videos are recorded @29fps ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zontovolo:
Found a bug maybe

Well when i boot my phone i found that wifi is turned on by default but not all the times but i m sure that i turn it off before i witch off the device. Bug? dunno :D

Which change in v1.3?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
The changelog is only few more lines on build.prop
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vispo60:
hi

somebody does have problems with battery drain? My phone has normally 10% battery after about 10 hours usage (network mobile always on)! Programs installed are the same as previous version (gb b572 network always on) and battery was 40% after 15 hours!

Please help me!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] korekore1:
Hello there!Can i just apply the 1.3 patch over 1.1 or do i have to be on 1.2 first?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] seryioo:
v1.3

v1.3 dont work corretly in games 3D, is more fast but I wacht bugs in the textures

I have played to Running Fred and after there wasnt bugs
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] husen4u:
What Are The Changes In This New Version?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
I'm sorry but v1.1 and v1.3 are quite different.

Then you need to wipe your data (3 different wipe, please follow the instruction for full installation on the 1st post) and flash the v1.3 zip file.

Regards
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
If you want to test your experience with 3D games, please try removing the last lines about hardware acceleration in buil.prop file (/system/build.prop).

This is the only difference between v1.2 and v1.3

Changelog is written! Only few lines in build.prop

Nice work kalo86!!! Yesterday i flash it after the mutling miui because the miui was a little buggy!

The only thing i miss is the 4way reboot!! Its very handy when you want boot into recovery
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] seryioo:
How?

How I delete?

debug.performance.tuning=1

video.accelerate.hw=1

??
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kingpicus:
After a few hours with your ROMs are really impressed.

A great job. Congratulations.

The only thing I miss is HUAWAI Backup.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Thank you too! When I am a little bit more free I will upload the complete set of official apk which I removed from the B876.

Hi, thank you for compliments, I'm very happy to read these nice words :)

The ROM is very basic, there are not a lot of apks, but if users that are using B876_KALO are agreed, in the next release I can add AN Reboot, one of the smallest applications which allows to boot/reboot/poweroof and reboot in bootloader your phone.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Maybe, again "maybe", the problem of battery drain is caused by these entries:

debug.performance.tuning=1

video.accelerate.hw=1

into the build.prop file.

If you can help me, you and other people here in this Forum, please test the battery life removing these two lines.

With those two lines the GPU renders always the graphic and battery is uder stress!

I would like to know more info about your device...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] benaskz:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:

Hi, I'm currently using Kalo 2.6. Do I need to make anything else besides all clearances, formats and updating through .zip? Plus I cannot see 3.1 version in the download list..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Ok, try this new procedure.

Unplug the battery from the device;

Hold down VOL+ and VOL-;

Connect the USB-microUSB between your PC and the device;

Your U8800 Pro will turn on into the flash software wizard;

The flash software will apply the UPDATE.APP and when if finishs after 2 reboots it will turn on into the CWM Recovery.

Let me know if this works! I am sure at 100% for me...

Hi s4k1s, if you have v2.6 you are ok, you need to follow only Installation instructions for full package.

The B876_KALO_v3.1.0 is in upload, be patience because it will be available very soon!

Regards
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] s4k1s:
Thank you very much Kalo.. I need to say that after version 1.3, I'm only using your releases with my phone and everything works like a charm every time.. So thank you very much for your great work that makes our phones so much more than they were supposed to be.. Cheers!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] benaskz:
ech.your rom to difficult for me. ten times i do it and all time phone just on,no flash. anyway thank you for the effort ;)))
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:

Sorry Kalo, every zip file i downloaded doesn't work. In the CWM Recovery i have an error "can't open zip file (bad)". Why?

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] manfalos:
B876_KALO_v3.0.9.zip or B876_KALO_v3.1.0.zip.

Many Thanks for your reply
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Control your recovery... I don't experience this problem.

Anyway I should look the installation procedure written for you and for other users at the first post of this discussion....

It's only an advice for you. Then you're free to brick your device.

Regards and good luck!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
it happened to me after playing with recovery, i tried to update it and then got all correct rom zip's as "bad" ones. So my advice is t check your recovery.img and take Kalo's one
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Hi Filatov.p, I extracted the zImage from the bbs discussion that you linked to me. In both cases, zImage from CM7 and MIUI, the multitouch does not work.

So I am using again the Genokolar zImage...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] NAZUnlimited:
hi, kalo86

i was doing some research about carrier names and ur rom appeared on the list

do u mind sharing some info about how did u fix the long operator name

i have the problem of my operator name, it displays the long name, Sonae "something" instead of just Optimus. can u help me with that?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Hi,

for sure it can be fixed but I need the exact name which is displayed into the notification bar and the name that you would like to read when your device is under the operator network.

Regards
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] NAZUnlimited:
it displays

Sonaecom - Serviços de Comunicações, S.A.

it should say

Optimus

Tx for the help
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Ok, thank you, I'm editing the file for the operator names.

You will find the right name "Optimus" in the next version B876_KALO_v3.1.1.

Regards!

EDIT: I'm uploading the new B876_KALO_v3.1.1 with the correct name Optimus.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kingpicus:
why did you change the kernel on 3.1.1 ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
I'm testing a different zImage always compiled by Genokolar.

It seems the same, it is not offering news but in previous release I used a Genokolar zImage compiled for CyanogenMod 7.1. This "new" zImage is used in his B866 porting, so it is compatible for B876 porting.

Regards
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kingpicus:
Installed, ... and for is first 20 minute work fine :D:D:D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
For the next time.... A little tip for you and other users: if the changelog is "short" you can extract the changed file and overwrite the previous files.

For example, from v3.1.0 to v3.1.1 I changed only 3 files:

./cust_backup/image/boot.img

/system/lib/libril-qc-1.so

/system/build.prop

boot.img don't require special permissions;

libril-qc-1.so requires permissions rw-r--r--

build.prop don't require special permissions

That's all... and your Android OS is up-to-date to the last B876_KALO version.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fps-dum:
Yes, you can use this rom.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
donate! it will increase the possibility

P.S. Kalo, what about adding little more beauty to your rom :)

Is it possible to enable lockscreen animation and rotation effect in GB?

UPD: it is possible, I saw it in some rom based on 2.3.7. What do you think of it?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] linomaniac:
Do YOU donated???
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:

So excuse me, do you always do anything only after someone else have done it?

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] korekore1:
I'm using Holo Launcher from xda forum still on beta 4 and free.Best launcher i have used so far,tried them all.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Hi!

Why without widgets? :confused:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
its the thought of dev :D just apps and super light weight
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
It will be also "light" but there are negative point for me:

1) No widgets;

2) No fixed dock bar;

3) The memory in use is about 13MB and Zeam Launcher (with my configuration) needs only 12MB.

It's funny but I prefer Zeam for now!

Thank you for the news!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
Same for me, Holo beta 4 is really smooth and light enough.

What about effects? I have information about enabling it in ICS, and don't know if it is the same in GB. But LeWa rom has these effects and rom with them looks cool. anyway user may turn them off in settings menu in case if we find the way to enable them :)

I don't like the cracking sound that sometimes our U8800 Pro has randomly.

For this reason I am testing a mod.

If you want to test too, please edit the build.prop file at this line:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Sometimes when you wake up the screen and soon press the VOL+ to upper the sound volume level, I hear a cracking sound.

Anyway, since I edited "lpa.decode=false", I feel a better quality in calls and a little big louder volume in call.

Is it a placebo?

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Since a huge part of "new users" who want to install my ROM don't read the installation procedure, I think that the processo can be a little big annoying.

So I am changing the structure of the ROM: the new B876_KALO_v3.1.2 will be available in every U8800 Pro, independent by the type unicom/cn, vodafone/it, channel/ru, hw/default, etc etc.

I am a little "tired" to be answering to all users who have problems installing my ROM.

The new release brings only one change: the lpa.decode is turned off and it seems to be helping the in-call audio quality and I am not hearing cracking sounds.

Of course this needs to be verified but I am not reading other users' feedbacks.

I hope to help new users!

hello Kalo,i was searching for local.prop and i can't find it,is there a local.prop in 2.3.6?it seems that by moddifing ro.config.hw_tv_out to true,tv out is enabled on 2.2.2. at least.that would be very interesting to do on 2.3.6!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
There is not local.prop but I just tried adding this file to this path:

/data/cust/prop/local.prop

and nothing changed (also with a new ROM just compiled).

Maybe the TV-OUT feature is only available on Froyo 2.2.2.

I need to analyze the local.prop file to understand if there are dependent/missing lines for the TV-OUT.

I'm waiting for gkalenis to post his local.prop file :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
here's my local.prop file ...

View attachment 1079791

this line , also exists at my ,, build.prop ,,,, but only by changing the line in ,, local.prop i saw the difference ........

i don't know if you want all the ,, cust folder too ....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Thank you, but I don't notice dependencies for the tv-out feature.

I think that it's not supported in Gingerbread...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] korekore1:
could it be possible to backport tv out from 2.2.2 or another rom that supports it?

i read somewhere in an htc forum that TV out function is not a part of android, it is proprietary code that HTC owns, and the company has threatened litigation against those who use it and that's why Cyanogen and others does not include it.

but cyanogen is a very popular rom,even if this is true we wouldn't have that problem!maybe huawei decided to remove this function to add value to her more expensive models that support hdmi

it's a shame really that the hardware is there and we can't use it..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fps-dum:
Hi Kalo!

Maybe in the next version you make Nemus as system app?:rolleyes:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
Yeah, NEMUS is really cool. Even home icon in applacarion drawer is cool :D

But... don't know who are those people who called it light, but with only one widget and 3 screens it eats 27Mb. Though Holo with 3 screens full of widgets eats only 20Mb. I keep on testig, cuz launcher is incredible smooth, and has inbuilt taskman. Thanks for it Kalo! And date widget is also fancy

Just put it into sysem/app/ and it wl work as system :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] korekore1:
is there a difference if the launcher or any other app is installed in system/app than in the regular installation directory?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fps-dum:
Yyy.. I know how its do. But u forgot about permission =), like "Г" =)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
I thought permissions should be set only if the file manager supports this function. So i use X-Plore (my symbian habbit :D) and all apps work without permissions from system/app

---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 PM ----------

Kalo, I've noticed a strange thing using last rom. Ive never heard it before (or maybe didn't pay attantion) but now system makes sound "shhhh" on playing anything via loudspeaker. For example press volumer button and take the back side of the phone to your ear, you ll hear that shhhh. I think it is because of this:

lpa.decode=false
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] korekore1:
so you just paste the app without following the installation procedure in /cust/hw/default/app ,change the permissions and you are done?

or in the /system/app directory?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fps-dum:
In system/app, and if use root explore, u need set permissions this apk. like on screen:

After that, restart the phone

p.s. and my nemus "eat" 12mb RAM, with 1 screen, 1 widget, 4 shortcuts =)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Hi!

Nemus Launcher is very nice and I really like the "block" feature! amazing!

For the "shhhh" on playing anything via loudspeaker, it's really normal because I noticed the shhhh since the first day with Gingerbread.

I don't know if there is the same issue with Froyo because when I got my U8800 Pro I did not tuned it on with froyo LOL. I directly flashed Gingerbread B512!

I think I will release a new version with these changes:

1) Nemus Launcher as default launcher;

2) CPU min frequency at 245MHz because I noticed a little bug with SMS/MMS application (I get sms in delay of 2-3 minutes, due to the 122MHz).

If we like the new 2 widget which I added (flash lite and dateviewer), I will leave there these new entry!

I think that flash light it's the most light widget for the torch. Really usefull when you need only the light!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fps-dum:
Y, i have same problem with a loudspeaker, And if I remember correctly then this was not Froyo

Hooray!!! Its good news! =)

p.s. sry 4 my eng :o
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Ok,

since Nesum is pretty loved I think I can edit a little the apk (removing unsuded files) and then I can replace the valid Zeam Launcher.

Of course the launcher can be always replaced.

Please notice that I never use the cust partition!

I use only 3 paths for applications:

/data/cust/app/

/data/app

/system/app

They are all the same except for /data/app which is the default path for the updates from Google Play.

There is a reason why I placed some apk files inside /data/app, because they are usually updated from Google Play Store and I avoided to duplicate the old version in /system/app. Funny?! :rolleyes:

EDIT_1: Signing the new B876_KALO_v3.1.3;

And one more question, Kalo, do you know where we can ge dictionaries for stock keyboard?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Ok, now I'm going to test the ROM with Nemus Launcher (which gives me erros when I try to customize the dock bar.... why?).

In the next v3.1.4 I will disable hdmi.

I don't know where we can get dictionaries, I'm sorry!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fps-dum:
I did not have no problems with dock bar. What is the error?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kingpicus:
Nemus Launcher gives me errors when I try to customize the dock bar and when I try to drag icon app in the workspace.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
Try to wipe data of launcher in android settings menu, cuz I have no problems with it being system.

Concerning hdmi. Since we don't have that gear in our phones at all, probably it would be better to delete it completely?
