If you just have the cust.img file, now you can continue with the installation of B876_KALO_v2.2.

Remember all wipes ;)

After you flash the step3 UPDATE.APP, it's normal that your device will reboot into recovery only. Don't worry!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] termagazis:
Ok kalos I understand these thanks.but I mean if I want for some reason to remove the apps from cust folder (I mean the apps you added there and cust folder to return as it was stock).how I can do that because root explorer can't mount as rw so I can delete or change something.(I don't want to remove anything I liked your idea but I just want to know how I can return my cust folder in default for any reason in future.)if I just flash again step3 it will erase everything in there and reflash it as stock?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Marlboro_HD:
i have kalo 2.0 installed and i flashed the update and after that the phone reboots only in recovery , so i do all the wipes and booted fine , and for first time i saw "the road" :).

tha problem now is that i can not see the options like this screen to disable wifi etc.

before i flash the new 2.2 ROM is there something i have to do first ?

sorry for my english
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
I don't know where is the problem.

Please write the localproppath of the file /proc/cmdline here.

Thank you
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
You should mount in R/W the cust partition...

It's impossible to change/delete the content of /cust partition with Root Explorer.

In the next release I will mount /cust in r/w
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ECC610:
I can't understand how I can flash step 3. I read "stock recovery", how do I access to stock recovery?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
d) Localization Package (STEP3 UPDATE.APP)

My ROM requires that you have an International devices (no Chinese unicom/cn, no Russian channel/ru, no Italian vodafone/it).

You need to download UPDATE.APP, create a new folder into the root (upper level) of your external sdcard (or the internal one) and rename it into "dload". Then copy UPDATE.APP into /sdcard/dload and start the flash upgrade opening "Settings", "Storage", "Software Upgrade", "SD card Upgrade".

Your phone will automatically reboot into a flash software program and when it finishes your phone will reboot into Recovery.

Now you can flash B876_KALO_v2.2 following the Installation procedure for full package.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ECC610:
Eheh, I read everything in the open post, but I just don't understand where I have to do this flash. I "copy UPDATE.APP into /sdcard/dload", but I don't know where I can "start the flash upgrade opening "Settings", "Storage", "Software Upgrade", "SD card Upgrade".".
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Open the application menu!

Te lo dico in italiano: apri il menu, impostazioni, memoria, aggiornamento software, aggiornamento scheda sd!

EDIT: I released a new kernel which mounts the /cust partition in r/w so users can easily modify the content of this partition.

I am going to release an update, maybe v2.2.1 or v2.3 which change the boot.img file.

Thanks to user termagazis for this advice!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ECC610:
Ahah, the benefit of having an italian developer :D

I had to flash an older version of your rom, because from ICS was not possible to update following your instructions. However, thank you very much for your help!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
For modder/users, I uploaded a new package, B876_KALO_v2.3_UPDATE_ONLY.zip.

No wipes are needed.

With this update the only change is the mount of /cust partition in r/w.

This means the possibility to delete/add apk files.

Regards!

androidboot.localproppath=hw/default
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
That is right, correct.

Did you wipe data again after the installation?

Please repeat all steps, and please download again the rom, maybe it is corrupted...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Marlboro_HD:
ok i'll try it

thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Of course

don't run wipe

commands after the flash of the rom! ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kingpicus:
How to make?

apply update from sdcard

or

install zip fromsdcard ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Of course "install zip from sdcard".
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kingpicus:
I try now!

I hope not to lose data :D:D:D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
All packages, before being uploaded, are tested!

So, no worries!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Marlboro_HD:
Everything work awesome with this new rom thanks kalo.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ilciumbia:
Kalo, something I do not understand: why is it not enough to edit the prop/cmdline file with an editor and change the localproppath line?...

Mine, btw, says vodafone/it

Thanks,

Paolo.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] termagazis:
I don't know why I cant download it.thanks btw,I'll download it from pc when I go back home in a few days.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Time ago, with my experiments, I tried to manually edit the cmdline. No way.

I also edited the cmdline of the kernel. Again: no way.

The last solution is to flash the UPDATE.APP package.

But if you want, you can try your ideas.

It would be nice to find a new way to edit the cmdline.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Seed8038:
Good happen :)

Thanks Kalo, v2.3 has been successfully installed. My mistake was that I skipped "13) Go to "mount and storage", then "format /system"

Thanks for your help, thanks for your work.

Regards

I wish you strong nerves at users like me :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Siauka:
Should I reinstall rom because of this problem appeared?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
No, these problems are not related to the rom customization.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] termagazis:
Kalo I instal the 2.3 update and cust folder is rw now.very nice thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Faithlezz:
Kalo, why in build.prop some strings contains "msm7630", but it's u8800 non pro CPU?

Sorry for my english.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Huawei decided to provide this entry, anyway I did not test what could happen if that line is removed by build.prop file.

Regards
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Faithlezz:
I mean, what if change in this strings msm7630 to our CPU, may be it somehow increase performance? If you tell me what parameters I have to write, instead of msm7630 - I'll test on my device.

Thanx for your rom, it's brilliant! :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] akalos:
do we need stock recovery to flash step 3 before updating from v2.1 to v2.3

:confused:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
No no, if you have v2.1 you can launch the flash from settings menu, please have a look at the first post, yesterday I updated the guide (prerequisite section).

If you have problems write here.

Have somebody else problem with gameloft games? I try 1-2 games and the give me the not compatible message

Sent from my finger's to your eye's!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] termagazis:
Which games?i'll check it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Did you change ,build.prop ??

You have to change the lines....

"ro.product.model=(from U8800pro , to , Desire HD")

"ro.product manufacturer=(from HUAWEI , to , HTC")

Done .......
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] akalos:
everything is ok
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] GeorgT:
I remember that exist some easy mod but I was to lazy to search myself !

Sent from my finger's to your eye's!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] termagazis:
I think its not necesary for the pro version.with default built.prop i can download games like aspfalt6.i think this mod was nesesary for no pro version
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] GeorgT:
Try Bother in Arms free! It wont work with the non edited build.prop
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] termagazis:
I try.i downloaded but when i open it its says its not compatible.asphalt6 for example doesnt say it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
It is necessary also for playing gameloft games on u8800 pro .....

I think only , asphalt versions are playable without editing , build.prop ......

For games like , Hd9mm,modern compat, bias ...... etc ,,, you have to edit it .....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] termagazis:
Yes i guess its needed for HD games.

Full screen ID caller

Hi people, this rom is great, thats true :)

I have only one problem, applications like HD caller ID or Full Screen Caller ID don't work for me on this rom...

Has anyone the same problem?

if something is badly written, is to blame Google Translate :cool:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Lotyh:
Thats correct, problem fixed after 2-3 reboots!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zontovolo:
I had the same but i rebooted the phone and it works fine now no problems and yes Rom is awasome
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Good good, please post here your feedbacks.

I hope to help all you!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Lotyh:
The only problem so far is that Εmail app is missing, so I can't add my exchange account.

But after 4-5 hours of full testing your ROM seems rock solid! Thank you!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zontovolo:
what you mean email app? i have Gmail at app drawer unless you mean other email app dunno :d
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] s4k1s:
ROM is great man, good job! But do you think you could something with video capture? With miui I was getting 720p@29fps..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Thank you, for the 720p@29fps I need to understand something, then I can implement also this feature, I hope ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Copix:
Really thank you for your work kalo86. Just two questions:

- what about battery drain compared with the stock ROM?

- Does it work tv out? Do you know how to get it work?

Thanks again!

Boot Loop

Sir I Tried Everything You Said. Previously I Was Using B512 Then i Install B572 Hoping To Install Your ROM. I Follow Everystep You Said. But Then Problem Is :

Installing Only Takes Few Seconds.

After Installation Phone Reboot After Huawei Logo.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] suirs:
thanks bro
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Hi,

the installation takes about 2 minutes and I don't know why your smartphone doesn't want to install this zip file.

Are you sure that you have downloaded a non-corrupted file?

In these cases, if you follow all the steps, then your procedure should have to work and it's a lost of time trying to update to another B5XX (Huawei Official Roms).

Usually this is a sdcard problem, I advice to you to put the zip file into the internal sdcard and try the flashing again.

But at first please download again the latest rom file and check the sha or md5.

Regards,

kalo86
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Hi, thank you for your feedback.

My customed rom is almost "stock", it has many tweaks and the kernel image is the stock one. So the CPU frequencies are the same as the B572 or B565 or B5XX Huawei Official Roms.

That is to say that the rom is customized at 75% by removing a lot of programs that are only a lost of time and resources, at 15% the kernel by the root rights and I added/replaced few apks with a better choise.

Then the battery drain is the same as a stock rom and this is a great success because you share a better user interface and environment at the same time with a new 2.3.6 Gingerbread, not loading your CPU and saving your battery power.

The TV-OU I think is a false feature!

Regards!

Thank you too! ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Lotyh:
So far the ROM is rock solid, battery life is the same as with the stock ROM. Only drawback is the missing Email app (...not the Gmail app...) and I can't connect my microsoft exchange mail account, hope we can have it back in the future updates!

A big thank you kalo86!

I don't know if the TV-OUT works on U8800 Pro.

Anyway, if it works, it will works also in B876.

Hi! First of all i want to say thank you for this great ROM!!!

Now, i saw that many users have problems with the installation... I made like this and it works perfectly: reboot your phone in recovery, reboot recovery, make wipe data, cache and dalvik, then go to mounts and restore and there format system, afther that flash the ROM... For me worked ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Thank you for your comment! I'm happy to hear this.

Following those simple steps I think that there should not be any problem during the installation.

Stay tuned for the next release ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vispo60:
in my opinion it's a fake! why the clip doesn't show some android screenshot (e.g. homescreen, menu,...), or slideshow by tapping in real time? it would be more believable, or not??? ahahahah, I know why... :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Hi Seed8038,

did you test if HD caller ID or Full Screen Caller ID applications worked fine in previous versions of B876? Or in other ROMs?

I don't know these applications but I can test if they really works.

Regards
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Seed8038:
No, I have not tested the application on other rom. In my phone the only original (Huawei)rom and then only from you, from version 1.0.

About these programs, I became interested just now...

I have no idea for why don't worked. And just for testing dont want flash other rom. Therefore, I ask if anyone has a similar problem.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
HD caller ID works fine!

Just tested! ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Seed8038:
Not for me :( When i have incoming call, first show me black screen for 2-3 seconds and then show "classic incoming call screen"

Is not big problem for me, is only "beauty bug" :)

It seems that the problem is only my, only come to what is the problem... :rolleyes:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] efray:
does it support arabic

and if so for reading and writing or the whole rom in arabic

I have a problem with 2.3: both with Go Launcher and Launcher Pro, when I restart the phone, the launcher doesn't manage to load widgets and, instead of the space reserved for the widget, an error message appears. Possible solutions?

EDIT

It also happens with Zeam Launcher... it probably happens with every launcher.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
There is one solution to solve your problem: delete the B876_KALO_v2.3.zip, download it again, put your device in recovery mode and follow the installation steps on the first post of this discussion.

I never had similar problem...

Again: don't try to jump a step. Steps have been written not for a strange case, but they are written because it's necessary to be followed.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ECC610:
I have no jumped any step. I think I found the problem: I reflashed the rom and I tried to reboot the phone before restoring apps with Titanium and it seems that the problem doesn't return; then, i restored apps and the problem returns. Uffffffffff, I have to restore apps without Titanium :S
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Ok, then the problem is solved!

Titanium brings only problems, people! :o
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ECC610:
But it's the only way to restore apps quickly. I like to try a lot of rom, without Titanium it would be impossible.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kingpicus:
three types of wipe, and then then we use Titanium to restore ... not a good thing !!!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Try to install the applications manually , and then restore only data with titanium .......

And for me titanium is a major application , and it sounds very weird , that gives problems ....

Strange , I can't understand that titanium gives problems ....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] TUPAC_RIP:
I guess you did a launcher restore which tried to restore the widgets in the exact previous places they were be. But even if the application is installed, doesn't recognize it's widget(something like ''error'' message).

If so:

Try to restore with Titanium the apps that use the error widgets. Delete these widgets from your homescreens (drag and drop them in recycle bin). Then create the widgets again (long single tap in any homescreen).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
People, titanium backup restores previous versions of apk files.

Since v2.2 all system applications are quite different because I removed a lot of unused files/folders.

So, if you are flashing v2.2 or v2.3 (they are the same except for the kind of mount /cust) it's not a good thing to restore a backup with titanium.

Of course not a good thing because it's made with Titanium but I just exaplined the main reason.

Titanium will bring problems if you try to restore a backup made before v2.2 or with other ROMs.

I am not saying that Titanium is bad.

You (generic new user) have to wipe and flash v2.3 and manually install all your applications starting from zero.

Otherwise you will have bugs and unstability.

Then you make decision, but please don't write your issue here if you experience problems after a restore with Titanium :)

I advert you!

Regards
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] korekore1:
Hello Kalo!Are you about to release a new version soon with any useful improvements or new stuff?

I'm about to install 2.3 and really customize it,tune it and stick with it.I really like your rom and want to follow the updates but it's really difficult to follow up with clean installs every week or so..I know most of users agree with this one.

So are you working on something really useful right now (performance wise) or should i go on with 2.3 ?

Things would be much easier if your releases were updates,without re-installing,it's such a turn-off having to install 50 to 100 apps every time and go through all their settings over and over for each and every one of them.It really takes so many hours.

It would be no prob if i trusted titanium or similar but that is not the case!

So..! 2.3 or wait for some days?!

I really appreciate your work and effort that you put into this project,cheers!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Hi,

Thank you for this post! This is a stable release and I think I'll release a new version by the next month maybe...

Hello Kalo. First off id like to thank you for your efforts in puting this together. Im interested in installing it but im having trouble. I follow the steps as mentioned but when i go to step 6. Mount usb storage i get a message like this (E:unable to write to ums lunfile (no such file or directory) therefore im unable to continue. Any idea what im doing wrong?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] termagazis:
Boot into recovery then choose advance/reboot recovery and then do the rest.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] DionisisNr1:
Thats what i do i follow all the steps exactly as stated. I have 2.3.5 Official, Kernel 2,6,35,7, B572.

Ok i may have figured it out. I used the 1st update.app to flash not the second one. Ill check again and let you know. Hopefully will work this time.

Edit: Same thing again. with the same message :'(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Reboot recovery more times until your sdcard is correctly mounted.

Please download the correct UPDATE.APP because it's foundamental!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Ok People, it's the time to underline some concept:

- If your device U8800 Pro doesn't recognize your external microSD card, this is due to Huawei Developers and not to my ROM;

- if your device is not able to mount the microSD card when you turn it into Recovery Mode, this is not caused by the Recovery or by the ROM. It is due to Gingerbread system;

- if your device is not booting anymore this is due to your inattention because every file (uploaded here in this discussion/Forum and in Google Project page) is tested several times before being shared;

- if your device doesn't recognize the SIM card, this is not due to the ROM, but to the Huawei "good work";

- if your device doesn't show your taken picture/videos, this is because Android doesn't recognize the external microSD card and you have to reboot the system to mount the sdcard again. Not a ROM problem. Again it is due to the best Huawei Development;

- if you would like to have ICS, please port it from Huawei Honor U8860 by yourself or if you are able, please compile a new 3.0.4-linux kernel and ICS from source code. All you need is available on Internet but please don't ask always for an ICS-porting;

- before posting here for troubles, issues, bugs, please be sure that you are using a clean version of B876_KALO ROM. I don't accept bugs if you restore backups from Titanium Backup;

- if your WiFi radio is turned on automatically after a reboot/shutdown when it was previously turned off, it is not due to the ROM but to the amazing Huawei Developers work;

- if your device is turned off and it auto-turns on when you plug in the power cord to charge the battery, this is not due to the ROM but to Huawei Development, very poor.

This list will be continued until I discover Huawei problems and I will copy&paste this list when I read foolish posts.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] DionisisNr1:
lol i didnt want to make you mad Kalo. Its just that i really like this rom and i wanted to install it. F.. it then ill stick with the official one. Nvm.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] nekmaria:
Goodmorning kalo, how can you re-enable this function (working alarm while the phone is closed) from the build.pro?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Hi nekmaria,

you have to edit /system/build.prop file with Text Editor (inside Android) and add these lines:

ro.config.hw_quickpoweron=true

persist.sys.quickpoweron=normal

persist.sys.animationstart=false

ro.config.hw_poanimation=1000

persist.sys.powerup_reason=

ro.poweroff_alarm=true

persist.sys.actualpoweron=true

These lines re-add the Fast Boot feature but there is a risk of burning your external sdcard.

Pay attention please.

It seems that i didn't understand the instructions very well and i installed step 3 via storage/software update/sd card upgrade,while still on cwm custom recovery,resulting in a boot loop.

I then got into pink screen and replaced cwm recovery with the stock recovery,then via stock recovery i upgraded again step 3 but it gave me an error.

I then booted normally,the phone had gone through factory reset for some reason but it works normally.

Now i still have /cust/unicom/cn but the proc/cmdline/localpropath is hw/default

Did i messed up big time or should i go on with 2.3 installation?!

should i fix something?
