That is to say that tweaks don't always work.

And there is a reason why I don't like to put lots of line on the build.prop.

Ok, now I am going to remove that ****ty line ;)

Thank you always!

Please test Google Play Store updates (it should be fine....)

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Now there is the last release v1.5.2.

The change between v1.5.1 and v1.5.2 is only one: media_profiles_xml

That file caused a bug in the camcoder.

Please test the camera, photo, videos, and have a look at the quality.

There is not need to run again benckmarks because now the mainline is v1.5.1 (with the updated build.prop).

Special thanks to zontovolo!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] korekore1:
i don't know if it is related with your rom,i also had some issues with the phone not seeing the sim card,but i think i know what happened.

I think the ''enter pin'' window rolled too fast,before i had the time to enter the numbers,(or i accidentaly pressed something in the screen and skipped the ''enter pin'' screen) and it continued loading and entering to the home screen,without me having the time to enter the pin.Everything worked fine,like you if hadnt put a sim card in the phone.

So if this is the case i don't know if it has anything to do with your rom,or it is a general android thing.Hope i helped
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Sorry for my bad English,

do you think that can be a bug?

Since I cannot verify, can you test the Play Store? In any way: updates, your applications, verify :o

Thank you!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zontovolo:
well i just rebooted the phone and it worked it was a 1 minute bug maybe dunno :D

Kalo! when you put the latest stable version i will test everything again and post info. cause i customizing my interface and i get newer versions of kalo V1.x and then i have to do it all again from the beginning! so when you think you have the "perfect" ROM upload it and i will download it and FLASH IT!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
If someone has a "good" o/c kernel (boot.img), please post the file here because I would like to make happier all users who want to get higher CPU frequencies.

Of course the default max frequence will be 1024 Hz, if someone wants to overclock, it's needed SetCPU or similar applications.

Thank you in advance!

@ zontovolo:

If you can test another ROM, please download this one (the latest): http://kalo.googlecode.com/files/B876_KALO_v1.5.2.zip

Changelog is only a different "media_profiles.xml" (the only difference from v1.5.1)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zontovolo:
downloading now, btw i m not able to update the google music app. i cant even find it throuth search at play store it really bugs me :D it shows me all other players except music google! and btw again since i got without "JIT" at build prop at 1.5.2 is still there?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
This is strange because in v1.5, v1.5.1 and v1.5.2 the Google Play Store version is the same! I don't know what to think to justify what happened...

In v1.5.2 JIT is turned On.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] korekore1:
here is the one from geno's v4 that i m using at the moment with your rom without problems i think.You can try it i don't know if it is the best out there!

http://www.sendspace.com/file/5mvif0

if you just replace it you have to clean superuser's data/cache,or superuser forgets settings
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Thank you, I need only the image, not image+ramdisk :cool:

Now I am waiting for zontovolo's result about v1.5.2.

Then I will send and update package with the o/c kernel (based on zImage of Genokolar v4) and if it's working fine, I can compile v1.6 stable release.

NEWS: In the download page there are two new packages, flashable zip file to install the overclocked kernel or again to return back to the default kernel (only rooted). Please have a look ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zontovolo:
i just passed it and i think i m stucked at boot logo will let it some time to see

v1.5.2
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Ok, don't lose time, thank you, really much.

The problem is still in media_profiles.xml, don't worry.

I am going to compile a new rom with the o/c kernel and with the right media_profiles.xml

You are a very good beta-tester! Very fast! My compliments!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] korekore1:
nice!keep the % battery icon too!also do u know why i cant save a preference on one of the hidden service menus?it resets without me even rebooting the phone.i don't know if this has anything to do with a rom.i'm trying to disable the second mic cause i get a random situation when a person that i'm talking to hears his voice back again.any idea?/
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zontovolo:
sry for my responce time but i play lol with my friends too at the moment :d

wating for new kernel with right media files so i can load my phone again :d
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
In the stable v1.6 there will be again the % battery, don't worry!

If you are tired to change always the values on the hidden service menu, you have to change the base of the reason!

The settings about mic is into build.prop file!

ro.config.dualmic=true

Open Root Explorer, mount /system partition in R/W, open build.prop with Text Editor and modify the value into "false", then save and reboot.

Let me know the result!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
If you can, flash again the v1.5.1 and after try to flash the o/c kernel package.

If you just deleted v1.5.1 don't worry, thank you!

EDIT: Before uploading the B876_KALO_v1.6 I need to know if the overclocked kernel is working fine. Please someone who tests the o/c kernel
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] korekore1:
i will try in the morning thank you!so what is the purpose for the secret menu if you cant change it?is this normal?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zontovolo:
i dont have 1.5.1 and how i flash the cernel with 1.5.2 i have now? still at boot logo
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Don't worry, I'm uploading the new B876_KALO_v1.6 RC

Changelog: battery & icons (like previous versions), corrected camcoder issue, disabled JIT, new kernel with overclocked possibility.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zontovolo:
and if i install it again from the begginingg will work? :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
If you flash v1.6 and phone does not boot, then Genokolar kernel is not compatible. But let's try before talking! v1.6 is almost the stable version....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zontovolo:
ok i m wating 1.6 then i want my phone to work :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
It will work again, don't worry!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zontovolo:
well as long as recovery works and boots will be fine i think :D

Is it possible to put ROM zip into internal sd card? or bad idea?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Sure, you can flash a new zip file from the internal sdcard.

Have a try and please leave B512 ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Hi, what is compcache? It's maybe an apk for cache cleaning?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iliaskone:
can i use an o/c image from 2.3.5 (572) to your rom?do you plan to give us o/c kernel?thank you in advance!!

by the way,your rom is very stable at first look!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Hi iliaskone! Sure, you can use your o/c image.

I don't think to use an o/c kernel because the stock kernel is a good choise to bring performance and stability and there is not battery drain.

At 1024 Mhz, the smartphone is fully usable and the user experience is pretty nice; I don't notice the need of higher CPU frequence.

Thank you for the comment.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
It's a strange problem... are you sure that CWM Recovery recognizes the exteral sdcard?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sofoklas:
This is a known problem of B512 rom. It keeps confusing the internal and external memory cards.

Some times the option advanced/reboot recovery, mounds correctly the memory cards.

I strongly recommend you to upgrade to a newer version or a custom rom like KALO's B876.

("vanishing media files" bug also happens because of this B512 problem)

well what i do wrong i cant understand. i follow the steps reboot in recovery i wipe data factory dalvik and everything else i install from zip from internal sd card and when update is installed phone dont reboot from its own i must reboot it, i wait for the first reboot and i get the phone info b512 again why why why!? please help what i do wrong?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Please repeat the installation procedure following the new steps at the first post.

the regular steps huh? wipe all? format system too then flash?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Yes, a classic full installation package.

If does not boot, then the problem is only the o/c kernel, then is simple: download the default kernel (a flashable zip package) and your phone will boot again.

I never tested this kernel on B876 roms... So I'm not sure that phone will boot at 100%
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zontovolo:

You were a little scared :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zontovolo:
yeah to be honest i was a bit cause a long time ago before i get your rom i bothered to install another and my phone bricked and i was searching like crazy forums and stuff to get stock img of recovery kernerls and boot. btw before i install your rom i had the kerken from geno i have now at 1.6 dunno how :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
v1.6 has the o/c kernel by geno!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zontovolo:
explain if you can what this means please :D i mean what more we can do with this kernel at current rom?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
In B876_KALO_v1.x (with x = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5.1, 5.2) I always used the default kernel.

In B876_KALO_v1.6 I am using a modified kernel, which supports the overclock.

That is to say that you can set a higher CPU frequence than 1024Hz and of course you can enjoy a performance improvement in gaming and user experience.

Kernel is setted to start with default frequencies so, if you want to "pump" your CPU (processor), you need specific programs (for example SetCPU).

With this program or similar you can set up you min and max CPU frequence and the governor (the default is ondemand).

I hope to have been almost clear :)

Please verify that in "Settings" -> "Phone info" (or similar information about Android, Rom version, Radio version) there is the geno kernel.

Small test

Kalo, thanks for your work, big thanks. So I tried your latest version (v1.6 with o/c kernel)

Result: perfect! :)

Normal - without overclock (1024MHz)

Conservative overclock (1516MHz) (reasonable compromise performance / endurance)

Full overclock (1920MHz) (battery "drainator" :D )

I have slow SD card(this affects the overall test result). So results are illustrative.

Now I will test the long time stability with overclocked CPU.

I did the past 5 days some battery tests with LauncherPro/goLauncher/Zeam.

My configuration: kalo-1.4, wi-fi/gps/auto-sync/3g always ON, 1hour angry birds gameplay, twitter and mail 5hours+.

LauncherPro, gave me 1day +9hours of battery life

Zeam, 1day +11 hours

goLauncher, 1day +11hours +43% more battery to go

So once again :)

Full overclock (with SetCPU - max 1920MHz min 1024MHz, external SD removed)

Maybe it's due to the slow sdcard. But if movie is good at the computer, then this is not a real problem, right?

@ All: People, I thank you for your help, anyway the goal of B876_KALO roms is to obtain a stable Gingerbread, not the most powerfull score on Antutu Benchmark. With my U8800 Pro I don't need to run complex iterations, I have a pc with Core i7 which runs much better for computational calculus.

Then, I thank You again but please avoid to compare Gingerbread 2.3.6 to other

great ROMs

. My Rom is almost stock and for this reason benchmark scores could not be the same or better than custom-compiled rom (like CyanogenMod and MIUI which are compiled from the source).

My Rom is from Huawei, almost stock, maybe 98% from Huawei, 2% from me.

Anyway benchmark are not bad, considering that v1.6 has not tweaks for performance.

I am a hard supporter of stock firmware, I like the stability, I don't want any reboot and I like to hear Radio when I want ;)

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Thank you, kingpicus,

if I can add more details, I know that with the official Gingerbread from Huawei I had heavy problems:

- Missed calls ---> :eek:;

- Missed SMS ---> :mad:;

- If I don't have a chinese branded phone (unicom) I cannot have Quick Settings Widget ---> :mad:;

- Accelerometer doesn't work always, but with a reboot it works --->:(;

- External SD is not always correctly mounted, but with a reboot it works :rolleyes:;

- FPS locked at a poor value :confused:;

I am sure that I will never buy another Huawei device, I have my reasons.

I spent money for a phone which misses calls? And what is the meaning of "phone" word? But U8800 Pro is said to be a Smartphone, but WiFi is very poor, the external SD is not read, the UI is poor with locked fps.... Huawei! Open your eyes!

Another negative point for Huawei Developers: I updated my U8800 Pro to the latest B572 Official Firmware and magically my IMEI is ZERO (IMEI = 0).

No way.

With a customized firmware I cannot lament these problems and I can live better :cool:
