what application back up method do you suggest except titanium?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ilciumbia:
Hello Kalo,

it's the first time I comment your rom: I have tested many, and I have to say that your 1.8 (which I am using now) is absolutely the best, blaaaazing fast compared to all different flavours of ICS (Aurora, MIUI) but even compared to Countach B572. Excellent work! I will upgrade to 1.9 soon, or maybe I will wait for the next version... Reinstalling everything every time is a pain in the *** :-)

BTW, ProjectMenuAct cannot and SHOULD NOT be removed, because it offers a way to solve a problem that many of us have with this terminal, which is the voice going away when you speak too quiet. The hidden menu offers the option to deactivate dual mic, since it appears not to work well on my U8800Pro. If I whisper with the dual mic option on, nobody hears me, but they do with the option deactivated. I think it is related also to mic gain, because everything is fine when you use the speakerphone option... is there a way to control mic gain?

One more thing: if anyone has ever tried any ICS based rom, will have noticed that scrolling of the menus when you keep you finger on the screen is much smoother; in ICS graphics move pixel by pixel, in any Gingerbread flavour I have tested they seem to move 5-10 pixels at a time, or something like that. I believe it is a touchscreen driver related problem, but my Android experience is (still) too little to be able to tackle it. Do you think it would be possible to use the ICS touchscreen driver in GB, in order to obtain that smooth movement which other brands have?

Thank you very much for your excellent work!!!

Ciumbia.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
I'm sorry but I never use backup applications!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
have you tried an update for touch screen which i had posted several pages ago?

Kalo, thanks for the answer, user is satisfied :D

And did you use the new qualcomm and wifi drivers that are already used in ICS rom?

UPD: v1.9 sound is encredible great! it sounds well in call at last! it screams like hell in the street. I never heard my phone like that before
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Hi, thank you very much for these compliments, it's a honor for me!

Anyway ProjectMenuAct is still in v1.9, it's an important apk!

About the touchscreen driver, please try updating to the latest one available.

Regards
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] korekore1:
did you find any way to keep the second mic deactivated,because when i deactivate it from the hidden menu,a few minutes later it is activated again by itself,not even after a reboot

---------- Post added at 12:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 AM ----------

and a question for you Kalo!about the display drivers,do you think these will work for the atmel screen?

http://translate.google.gr/translat...x.php?app=forum&mod=Detail&act=index&id=46269

it says U8800 + must first upgrade to C00B572G001 version,but i was wondering if they will work on your rom
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zontovolo:
well several pages before a user tried to install atmel driver with kalos rom and was getting error about build.prop. it is suggested that you apply official b572 first and then atmel driver and then Kalos RoM :D (havent tried that yet tho)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Download some ,bootanimations , from here ....

http://www.mediafire.com/?uum1lai6q7mgvug

We put them in ,, system/media ,, give permissions (rw-r--r--)

Reboot and enjoy......

PS

We must rename the .zips to ,, bootanimation.zip ,, to work

Try them ............
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
background incall graphics are just great, Kalo, great job! I Love it!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] termagazis:
are tested that works?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Of course they work .......

I have 6 custom bootanimations ,inside the zip folder ,,,,

Try them ,, maybe you like some of them......

Just rename each one to ,, bootanimation.zip ,,,

Example

The first one is ( 3bootanimation.zip)

Paste it to ,, system/media ,,

Rename it ( delete #3 in front )

Give permissions ( rw-r--r--)

Reboot , and you'll see the new boot animation........
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] termagazis:
ok thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Do you like this new kind of lockscreen?

Theme is still Gingerbread but under advice of Filatov.p I created a new lockscreen, ICS style.

This is a screenshoot
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dingila:
Can I ask why when I write sms and I hear some noise from the speaker? Is this normal? Now I noticed.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] TUPAC_RIP:
Works like a charm gaziari mou.

Looks pretty good kalo.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fps-dum:
Yes, yes I do hear a noise... :(

Maybe this is defect
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Lotyh:
I love it!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
disable sound of typing in settings menu
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fps-dum:
Pash, i have same thing in multimedia. like games, music & etc...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
Probably some problems accured while installing ROM or you have some app working with sound that make that sound, because I don't have any extra sounds.

Translation for comrade:

Привет :) Может конечно проша криво встала (все вайпы делал?), может есть какие проги сторонние для работы со звуком. Но у меня нет такой проблемы, звук предельно четкий и только когда нужно )
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] korekore1:
i got that hisss sound too,i can hear it when i press the dialer keys and during silence in games.I don't know if it is a rom related issue,i think i had it with other roms too
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
try earphones. If it present there, so the hiss sound is issue of loudspeaker.

My 1.9 sounds brillianly clear
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
The issue can be caused by the modded framework.jar but I don't hear sounds from my ketboard... or in general when I tap buttons
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ilciumbia:
Hi, well, I do not have this problem, but it is true that every time you reboot your phone you must modify the setting again... It would be nice to know where this setting is applied, so that it can be implemented at startup... Kalo, could you find out?...

I tried them, they are excellent, if not at the same level as ICS they are very close! Thanks for the suggestion, I had missed it! :-)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
we have one user on 4pda with that problem, he will try the other rom and report. Cuz he never noticed that before, never payed attantion. So let's wait
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
You have to modify build.prop at the line

ro.config.dualmic=false

then reboot
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ilciumbia:
Macche', non basta!

No, that does not work... I had already tried that, the only effect that setting has is to trick the OS into believing that you do not have dual mics, and in fact the option disappears from the 2846579 menu... But the reality is that the dual mic is still active and people won't hear me if I whisper!

Is it possible to know what does that "dual mic config" do in the 2846579 menu? Where does it act in the OS? I believe this is a very common issue among many U8800Pro users... If I can help somehow...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] korekore1:
same here,i was wondering what is the reason for these hidden settings if they don't save their status
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
I really don't know what "dual mic config" does and I also noticed that modifying the build.prop entry (ro.config.dualimic=false) there is not possibility to modify the value of mic into hidden menu...

Maybe it's kernel-related.

Update: I am uploading a new release B876_KALO_v2.0 beta.

Changelog: added PicoTts.apk in /system/app because a user cannot run Copilot (maybe this apk is the issue); default framework.jar (this should solve the strange audio generation when tapping keyboard or telephone numbers); removed Gmail.apk and replaced by K9 Mail, a great mail client, really.

Please test if this new release has the same issue with keyboard audio, but I am sure that I did not change other things except for framework.jar.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
Pity, these changes are not making me update to the new version... One step back
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dingila:
A moment ago I was with the stock B572 ... the noise it is there too, so do not think the problem is in the Rom of Kalo.

I tried and the 2.0 Beta of Kalo ... same ... but it is not the problem

Perhaps it is from the B572

Do not try to tear down sap of the lower version. B512 or ...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mariosbbs:
K-9 email is very good (like it's commercial clones) but (unfortunately) Gmail is "better" because the "thread view". I exchange everyday some email with 2/3 friends, when the emails are replies I can see the full 3d :

all old/read emails are shown only as "sender - date - hour" (clickable to open)

very strange (?) that all the other email clients are not capable (I've seen an "accepted to-do request" (very old) about 3d view on sourceforge k-9 site )

another problem maybe the "play store" that check the GMAIL account
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
That noise is because of loudspeaker cheapness, it cant prosess some frequencies and it makes noise. Earphones has the other, wider frequencies range so it gives more reflective live sound without noise. So, Kalo, put back modded framework, it made sound in both loudspeaker and earspeaker louder, just perfect.

And here is one more question from 4pda users:

User neonica asks you to make some fix to make pictures of contacts be displayed on incomming call but not only in the list of contacts.

Moreover I have the same problem with

some

of my contacts: photo is on the contact in contacts list, but on recieving a call from that contact I have standard android-robot picture.

Is it fixable? Do you have any ideas about that?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Ok Filatov.p, thank you for your great service between Russian Community and XDA.

I am going to upload v2.0 beta2 with the modded framework.jar and Gmail.apk (removed K-9 mail client).

I don't know what changes between B876_KALO_v1.0 and the latest release.

All my releases are the same about framework and apk file, I am super super about phone.apk, contacts.apk.

What changes is only theme and nothing.

Please try flashing the latest ROM and please don't use Titanium Backup or similar application to restore "old things".

I am not experiencing the bug with in-call pictures.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
Thanks for the answer, I think there is no need in uploading v2.0 beta 2 since there are not many changes of 1.9. have a rest :)

Btw, I never restore system apps with Titanium, only installed by me to keep some data. But I will try it with next releases and post your answer to my russian comrades :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Thank you!

Anyway I'm uploading beta2, even if this latest release is not a beta!

All is working fine but I am waiting for an answer about Copilot.

I always use Sygic and it works fine.

Does someone use Copilot? Any issue?

Regards
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] termagazis:
I don't think pikotts.apk is the problem for copilot.picotts.apk is for text to speech function.by the way I use navigon and works fine.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] KnightFal:
Any chance to implement some microphone boost, so we can adjust the boost our self? Or a permanent one if the first one is not possible.

My girl friend has this phone and using the 1.8 now.

I have really problems hearing her, and other complain as well.

I see on some forums that people have sort of fixed this on the u8800. And that MIUI for it has this added as well.

Thx for doing a great job and making this phone 10x as good as Huawei did :)

I can update the Synaptics touch screen firmware with Kalo Rom?

could work through the menu * # * # 2846579 # * # *

ProjectMenu-> 5 upgrade -> 2. Touch screen firmware upgrade -> start the upgrade?

I would not go with an original Rom, type B572, just to update the firmware of the touch screen.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Sure, it not necessary to install the official B572...

You only need to install the stock recovery and then launch the command to install the touchscreen firmware upgrade.

Of course you need to create a new folder into the sdcard, rename it as "update" and copy into this folder the "synaptics.img" file.

Since the external sdcard is not always recognized by android, I advice to you to put the "update" folder into the internal sdcard (HWUserData).

That's all.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kingpicus:
I answer myself alone :)

I tried it and updated the firmware on the touch screen using the menu:

ProjectMenu-> 5 upgrade -> 2. Touch screen firmware upgrade

Now I have:

synaptics-ts-BYD.d

I can confirm it works with the Kalo Rom.

Bye

If you are not "sure" please make the update process through the stock recovery. This driver is not located into the rom, it's only a firmware upgrade.

You are free to make the better way, have a try!

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kingpicus:
Hello,

I tried again ... this morning: full wipe Factory, wipe Dalvik, format /system, reinstallation of Kalo 2.0 ... but nothing, at first boot I always the icons with Chinese name.

So I decided to return my terminal no longer as vendors "Unicom" and area "China" !!!

I installed a European version of Gingerbread, the B521, with its file Step3.

This Step3 file does not mark the phone as China, making it region free.

Now after B521 update, my phone is no longer China area.

I again made ​​full wipe, wipe Dalvik, format / system, reinstallation of Kalo 2.0 and now I have the icons with the names in Italian. No more traces of China.

I'm happy.:D:D:D:D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Good then, maybe you flashed B512? :rolleyes:

Ok, as soon as possible I will upload a flashable zip to disable the volume screen wake up (like the original configuration with the only power button).

A microphone boost would be very nice... it really seems like a "noise gate" problem, if you use the speakerphone mode everything is fine... What is the difference between the normal mode and the speakerphone mode in terms of microphone usage?

I have tried the MIUI, but, as far as U8800Pro is concerned, we are stuck at 2.3.9 multilanguage, the problem, I assure you, is stil there, furthermore there is no 2846579 hidden menu...

And I agree, Kalo, you did a terrific job, thanks! :-)

you said you pinpointed the location of the hidden menu; is there not a possibility to have a look inside the APK and see what it does?

Thank you!!!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kingpicus:
I flash this version, B521, because is the only with a file step3 international.

And this version have a pdf file guide in English .... I conclude that it is for a market non-Chinese.

But I have a little problem whit this rom, I turn off my mobile at night and when I get up at morning I turn on but the problem is that everything in my desktop, icons, widgets disappear and everything is like in the first boot... why?

sory man but i have never heard this official rom before

only from you

anyway..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Please send this "new" version, maybe this new Phone.apk will fix the picture contact issue. Note that the theme is the same.

This is the safe procedure to overwrite the Phone.apk file:

1) Download the attachment;

2) Copy the new Phone.apk to /system;

3) Give to this new file the same Permissions like every file putted into /system/app;

4) Move the /system/Phone.apk to /system/app/Phone.apk overwriting the previous one;

5) Reboot.

I have the following problem: some times when someone call me or text me, even if I have the contact stored, it doest show me the contact photo and name.

I notice that those times the provider adds the area code in front of the actual phone number.

For example, I have stored this number 6900000000 with photo, but some times when this number call me it changes to +306900000000 and it doesn't show me name and photo. Same thing for messages too.

the contacts issue is not a rom specific issue,i have seen it across many different roms and phones,that's why there are applications in the market that fix this issue
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
there are many posts about that... so in general 50/50, some don't have the problem anymore, the others do.

Here are manipulations that two users did to make contacts be shown up correctly(really strange):

there were contacts on both sim card and internal memory of phone, so they deleted all contacts from thу phone, copied to phone, deleted from sim, then copied to sim from the phone (optionnaly), binded photoes and it worked %)

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
I have successfully updated 3 Huawei U8800 Pro from v1.0 to v1.1 and all they display correctly B876_KALO_v1.1 with this simple procedure:

1) From my U8800 Pro I downloaded the update package here;

2) Shutdown the smartphone;

3) Enter in Recovery mode (of course CWM 5.0.2.7);

4) Go to "advanced" and choose "Reboot Recovery";

5) At the new recovery boot go to "advanced" and choose "Wipe Dalvick Cache";

6) "Install zip from sdcard";

7) "choose zip from sdcard";

8) select the file "B876_KALO_v1.1_UPDATE_ONLY.zip"

9) "Reboot"

If this procedure fails, then your external sdcard is broken. I'm sorry!

Please try putting the update zip into the internal sdcard, maybe our external sdcard is corrupted? I don't know...

And still now I repeated again the procedure of upgrade from v1.0 to v1.1 and all is working fine.

Try the upgrade process without the external sdcard.
