So far this has been the best Rom por u8800-51 i've tried! the only bug ive noticed being the widgets disapearing from time to time. But for -51 it has proved to be better than any other rom out there yet.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] strippio100:
hi,

i have tried to install this ROM but SIM is not recognized.

My previous ROM was Cyanogemod 10, would i had to downgrade Gingerbread official before?

thank you a lot
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] resudo:
wow finally a comment, I was getting bored here. The installation instructions are simple ; official froyo(huawei)-official gingerbread-official ICS-custom roms you want. But if you were on cm10 you have to downgrade to official gb first to get this ROM.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] strippio100:
i was wrong beacause i read "Any ICS" on First Page...Thank you.

Now, from 47 hours to download frome the chinese website try again...:)

last question, the procedure that i have to apply is:

- official Gingerbread

- unlock bootloader

- Put Recovery modify

- apply procedure for install this ROM

is it correct?

or bootloader and recovery remains after install Gingerbread official?

thank you :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] resudo:
You CAN install this over ICS but I recommend official ICS(still custom ics ROMs can be used but official is recommended). The best and most clean install is over an official GB ROM. The rest is correct.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
You have to install, ONLY step 2 from an official GB, to get back to gingerbread.

Then change recovery.img, and install any GB based custom rom without having issues.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] korekore1:
You can install it over froyo too.

Dude,what the hell.If you are not sure why do you give such advice?

Have you seen in ANY GB custom rom installation note something like ''You can install it over ICS''? Gingerbread rom needs GB base to work correctly..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Yes, you're right ..

I think 95% of the guys, which using ICS based roms, they never flash a GB based rom, and they don't know even how to downgrade to GB.

They care only for those crappy ICS based roms and nothing more.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] TUPAC_RIP:
It's an easy misunderstanding. When Kalo opened the thread and wrote that:

...no official ICS firmware had been released, so by saying ''any ICS Rom'' he meant some ICS ports based on GB baseband.

lol SvTeam
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] resudo:
How could I know that lol. I'm still kinda new here, less than a year or so. Anyway I already said that the best and most clean install is over official gingerbread. Also if you download official ICS or GB (not sure) huawei gives you instructions on how top downgrade from ICS to GB.

---------- Post added at 01:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 AM ----------

I just said what kalo says on the first post "any ICS". How could I know that official ICS was not released by then? :P
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Somcom3X:
Well, I never had to downgrade :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] prakharkmr27:
I came to xda in November 2012, so even I'm not a year old.. But I know MUCH..

You are really acting STUPID :thumbdown:

It does not matter whether official ICS came before kalo's release or not.. Common sense says that this ROM requires the BASEBAND of GB..

---------- Post added at 08:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 AM ----------

NO NEED to unlock bootloader,

it is already unlocked in official GingerBread.

Just connect the phone (in pink screen mode) to your PC.. Wait for the device to be detected and when the image folder comes up, replace the recovery.img with TWRP 2.x.x.x

Thats it..

Additional info.- (If you want a rooted official GB then just flash superuser.zip, search it on google or xda).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] TUPAC_RIP:
Actually it does matter because this...

...is kind of misleading for new members.

SvTeam you are not new. I don't demand you to know everything but you are supposed to be a ROM moderator and know how Android works.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] resudo:
People I know the basic about android. Neither I'm a dev nor I'm here for so long to know that. The time that huawei released ICS has nothing to do with my knowledge. kalo clearly stated that you can install this over any ICS ROM and kalo was a dev so I thought it was correct and got confused like other members. I know that he should install this over GB and that's why i said that the best and most clean install is over GB.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] justmpm:
Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the interruption. There seems to be a misunderstanding about how to install this ROM. It should be installed on a GB base. I think anybody reading the OP could be easily confused and think it can be installed on top of any ICS ROM. The recent posts make these points very clear. It is a shame that many of them also flame other users. Please stop the personal attacks on one another. If you see something that is wrong, just post the correct information with out being judgmental about it. Thanks!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Rittik:
Nick i have to disagree a bit sorry mate. Kalo was never a dev. Porting a rom doesnt make anyone a dev same with all of us who are prting roms. Well kalo had much better knowledge than all of us which allowed him to make this wonderful rom as we all know tho i never used his rom sadly and i never plan to as i never really want to downgrade to GB. Devs are the people with actuall knowledge like few who graced our small forums like Genokolar And Ivan and forumber2. They are the people who memorized every bit of android. You guys dont know how much hard it is to compile a rom from source for our Device due to its low ram content. Only modifying the manifest in git doesnt really help.

I dont care what other people really think about me for speaking what i really think of. Am here to help fellow members and new members but not to promote flaming. Xda is not a place for kiddo comments or trolls.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] resudo:
I only said that kalo was a dev because in his sign he had made rom for other device too (i think n4). Also he fixed many things on this rom too. Anyway on the other things i agree with you and sorry for my wrong advice that i gave.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Somcom3X:
If you know the basics of android, why would you even post a ROM? :eek:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] resudo:
Because I know the info about android that is needed to make a ROM. Or at least modify and fix some things.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] strippio100:
I've tried all ics Rom, also Cyanogemod 10 3.0, but this ROM is fantastic.

Two days and haven't problem, no restart, no freeze, no slowdowns and fluid.

Only a few questions:

- Is it possible turn up the volume? awesome beats it's only ICS, right?

- The maximum Processor is 1024? is it correct?

- This ROM is rooted?

The only negative difference than ICS is Internet. Is little slower than ICS. ( Wifi and 3G, is the same)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] korekore1:
try volume+ for volume,this rom can go up to 1,8 ghz and it is rooted.Internet is just fine i think i've used it for months
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] strippio100:
with SetCPU and the other apk for overclock the maximum parameter is 1024, i have to set anything?

thank you
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
You must change, boot.img to overclock.

Download Stallion and use the boot.img.

You can change it with root explorer or via pink screen.

After you change boot.img you can overclock your phone.

what about +39 problem? when I receive a call from a number stored without internation prefix (italy for me) it does not get matched with the contact
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] korekore1:
use ''android contacts cleanup'' app to change them all at once
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] korekore1:
i compiled a zip that fixes the missing widgets after reboot bug.I used some zips that gkalen had put together some time ago (to change the drop down notification's panel colors from grey to transparent) and also added back some xmls that were removed from Kalo that caused the missing widgets bug (credits to gkalen for this too!)

So with this zip you have the widgets bug fixed and also you get your notifications in a transparent panel instead of the grey one.

Installation:Just go to recovery and flash the zip! (i also wiped cache and dalvik cache before and after flashing.This will or will not make a difference but it causes no harm to do it!)

Always remember to take a backup before flashing zips that a stranger offered you! (just kidding the zip works.But take a backup,its good!)

Is there someone who wants to try my customized rom based on B572 (the latest official huawei firmware for U8800 Pro)?

It has the same structure of B876_KALO_v1.x

If someone is interested, please write here.

Thank you for collaboration
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] husen4u:
what's new in b572?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
It's the same as B876, no other aplications more, still the same.

But of course libs and system files are from the stock B572 and maybe battery drain is not an issue for B572.

If someone is interested on this new project I will upload the rom, it's ready to be flashed.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] husen4u:
Please upload will appreciate it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Ok, uploading!

The B572_KALO_v1.0 will not have any Bravia Engine by Sony because the U8800Pro's hardware doesn't support it.

Then Bravia Engine is only a placebo effect.

Theme will be the default one because I still don't know if circular battery with percentage status is good accepted by users.

Anyway I can release a flashable zip which change the theme for the % battery (no probelms..)

B572_KALO_v1.0 is ready, go to download page

Firstly I need to thank Kalo for his awesome work and constant help through the forum to users. It's really nice to provide support all the time :) .. I'd like to suggest that (if possible) you integrate beats audio and maybe an miui theme to the slide down bar, cause the stock one is kind of ugly, while the miui one is really nice to look at and more practical..

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Hi s4k1s, I really appreciate your words, I hope to help people with better Roms. At the moment I would like to find out which base is better between B876 (porting) and B572 (official base).

For this reason I am trying to don't touch system files, the rom is only optimized deleting some apks from Huawei, adding the quick setting widget in notification bar and minor things.

Please try the differences ;)

I recomend that you leave it as it is the rom is very good and stable and wait for 3.0kernel and then if you have the knowlage try to work on an ics..for u+ so we haven't have to wait for dzo's thats making for u8800nonpro...!!just saying!!

I have a stupid question: with the B572 U8800 had a useful .

when I perform a call and the person answered the phone take a short vibration.

now with Kalo ROM this function can not turn it over to.

I don't find menu for activation.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
It cannot be turned off by a menu because there is not a menu entry for this function. It maybe depends by the rom, not by me.

I also uploaded a clener version (beta for testing) of B876_KALO_v1.5beta

Features:

- No Bravia Engine by Sony;

- No customized theme;

- No circular % battery;

- Added a line in build.prop about the JIT (may increase performance);

- Update Google Play Store.

This ROM has the beta flag because I would like to test this new tweaks:

dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit

If this works fine, I will upload a regular v1.5.

Anyway this beta version is stable and can be tested by all you want to help my development.

The download is always at the same page,

hello kalo86, do you have some suggestion about a good launcher ? I don't like LauncherPro (free) 1st of all because it "lock" the phone everytime I "long tap" some icon,

if I "long tap" but there isn't a menu or try to add LaucherPro widgets a message appear:

This feature is only available to LaucherPro Plus users. You can get it today for $3.49 USD"
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
I can suggest only two possibilities:

1) Buy the Pro-version which is unlocked, so no more boring popups and you can add launcher pro's widget on your home;

2) Try Zeam Launcher, the most light launcher in Google Play Store (maybe).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vispo60:
yesssssssss, all wipe... i have to change rom again, too lags and freeze...call log didn't work... :-(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mariosbbs:
as I have told yesterday in a private message, I hate "things that is free but if you give me some money (also if minimal )...". Android is Linux, Linux is free, so I apreciate (and "donate" if requested ) if I like somethig and want use it for a long time. I think that to all of us like to try "1.000.000" of software, utility and all kind of things, but who use for a long time more than a few apps ? ;-)

I "hate" LauncherPro because the annoying request of money, thats all :-D

p.s. already tried Zeam Launcher and I like it, but do you think that it doesn't "drain the battery" with "kalo-1.4" ROM ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
I think that Zeam Launcher will not drain your battery.

In terms of MB, Zeam is lighter than LauncherPro, and in "theory" Android needs less CPU resources to load and sustain in life Zeam Launcher.

But words are always words, you have just to try and verify your battery life ;)

EDIT

: Please post your using experience with Zeam Launcher.

I prefer Launcher Pro because you can choose more preferences, Zeam is not so rich of features... Anyway it is a good alternative and if users are agreed I can replace LauncherPro with Zeam Launcher.

People, please pay attention, because:

B876_KALO_v1.0 it's the same as other next releases v1.1, v1.2, v1.3, v1.4 but only few changes are different (Google Play Store, QuickPic and su binary are updated).

The battery drain is related to our installed applications then...

Zeam Launcher is amazingly fast,probably the fastest i've used.The downside is that the options for customization are zero.Many 3rd party customization widgets and utilities that worked with LauncherPro are either not working or behaving weird.

Other than that if you don't care about the looks,this is the fastest launcher.

p.s. I m using Launcher Pro,over the last couple of days i'm testing many apps,installing,uninstalling a lot (trying things i'll stick with,as i'm preparing to settle down with a rom) and i see LP is not as responsive as when i fresh installed,i can see there is a bit more delay from the moment i press the icon till the moment the app maximizes (i'm using all animations from the android settings).Also some glitches in the app drawer too sometimes.

The thing i see is that in Zeam the maximazing animation is extremelly fast and smooth,even faster than fresh installed LauncherPro,its like its not using the android maxizing routine like Launcher Pro?It would be awesome if we could tweak LP to behave like this.I tried this with Loopysmoothness tweak,but i didn't see much improvement
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Try the Cache Cleaner NG!

Maybe your cache is full and never emptied!
