You have to overwrite the kernel, for example you can use the v2.5 boot.img.

If you don't have the file, after I complete the upload of v2.7rc2, I will attach here the right boot.img.

Regards

EDIT: here the file! Overwrite with Root Explorer, no need to edit permissions.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Put your new boot animation ,, to ,, system/media ,, and give permissions (rw-r--r--) ......

Done .......

Thx kalo..cos i need the internal sd i haven't a problem with external i will see now if there is a problem!

Just an academic question...if you wanna rollback to another rom you need to apply official 2.3 rom?cos when i restore to my rom i got a bootloop!!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Hi guys ,,

I tried to make a transparent pulldown bar , for Kalo's rom ,, but i cannot test it .......

So , i need a tester ( cascader ) , to test if it works or not .....

Its a , systemui.apk , which i moddify to have a transparent pulldown bar ...

The problem is , that if doesn't work ,,, you're gonna have a bootloop ,, thats why you must have a backup in your sd card ,,, to restore it , if something goes wrong...

So , if anyone wants to be a tester ,,, just PM me ,, to send the attachment .....

Thanks ........
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
that is because of new cust.img. Put your original one to image directory and then rollback with your backup
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vispo60:
where is boot.img on the phone?

edit: found it!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Hello guys,

today I tested the quality of the new camcoder settings and I am happy :)

Soon I will post a sample video, I don't notice any lag (like the previous sample).

I hope to have found a good compromise between bitrate and quality in media_profiles.xml.

Anyone who wants to test , IF transparency in pulldown bar works ......

Just try this .....

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?3oamw737252wd73

Replace it with root explorer ..... and give permissions (rw-r--r-- )

I think its in ,, cust/hw/default/app ,,

Give permissions , before you replace it ( in "default" folder) , and then move it to "app" folder and replace .....

HAVE A BACKUP IN YOUR SD CARD ,,before trying this mod ,,,, in case it didn't work....

kalo86 you are doing a wonderful job and I am really glad there is a developer out there who takes time to create Rom for a not so renown yet company like Huawei. I was just about to begin the process about flashing your 2.6 Rom but since there will be a 2.7 soon I will wait perhaps..I have just rooted my phone and my next step is installing the Recovery as your process about the 2.7 states. When you upload 2.7 please post a detail process about the installation on a new thread so people like me who are new to android and this phone can follow the whole process and the reviews that will follow. 120 pages on this post are a little hard to follow at this point. Thanks in advance. :D

Please notice that the ROM is working fine out of the box.

Problems can be generated installing other apks which are in conflict maybe.

Hello Community,

I have to write a great News: I am testing a new release, B876_KALO_v3.0.0.

Since the v3.0.0 the build generation changes because I make lots of builds and soon I will need build v100.1, so I decided to add another number.

In the v3.0.0 there is an important fix for the G Sensor and for the Compass.

For this reason I had to work on libraries and apk files.

The great news is that any compass apk downloaded from Google Play Store now is working fine :cool:

I also removed unused modules because Huawei generated a huge MESS inside the system folder. When I will have free time I will try to make always more clean the /system folder and what there is inside this path. Only question of time.

Another update: the calculator.apk has a little bug, maybe nobody noticed this (the E button between Pi and ^exponencial), the Nepero number e=2.7182818 does not work and the calc shows only Error. Now this bug has been fixed with a new apk file.

GenieWidget and all other Google's Applications have been updated to the latest one (5th May 2012)

Now I'm going to upload this new build, I hope we appreciate my work.

Regards,

kalo86

now there no more. Why?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] MyNameIsKappa:

I have only one question: it is stable as 2.8?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
I uploaded another (bad) version, so I deleted as soon as possible.

I'm uploading now the correct version, sorry for the delay!

Yes, but I advice the v3.0.0
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] uncleradio:
Can it be installed over the previous version or it's still better to do wipes and do clean install?

And by the way, is there any reported issue with the Wi-Fi - as it doesn't see my home Wi-Fi and suddenly stopped seeing the one at work.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
It's better that you do all wipes and format /system partition.

No, WiFi is working fine, at least on my common places...

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Michalisx5:
Soooo Let's troll a litle bit :D....

I believe that after v2.8 the next version should be v2.9...So why directly on v3?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Hello People,

with this post I want to express my gratitude for my 5th received donation.

Special thanks to José Alexis Morera Fernández, a new supporter for my project.

I still don't know if he is in this Forum, but I want to thank You really much.

Then, I would like to know how is going the new release v3.0.0.

Any feedback?

Since I added a new cipher to the build number, the last build should have been like 2.9.1, so I decided to go directly to v3.0.0 to start with a new generation of build.

No other meaning are under mistery, ok? :P

Good evening!

Hi,

you should copy these apk file inside /system/app (or inside /cust/hw/default/app):

HwWallpaperChooser.apk

LiveWallpapers.apk

LiveWallpapersPicker.apk

Then give them the Permissions rw-r--r--

That's all! Reboot and enjoy your live wallpapers!

I modified the MMS.apk because now it's more simple to setup the correct time of the sms. You can only uncheck the GMT timestamp!

hello, and thanks for sharing the rom. I made a mistake while installing it. I had froyo 2.2.2 and when i flashed i used the first update.app, and then i saw that it was a special one for 2,2,2 :eek: i installed the rom succesfully, but now my phone when it starts it shows the andriod logo over over again :(

what can i do now, since i dont have any backup?

Please help :(

edit: its okay, i upgraded to 2,3,5 and i ll try again
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vispo60:
i have not this issue on my device...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Hi vispo60,

the WiFi auto-turn-on is not a regular issue, it is sort of "random" issue, and it happens usually when you turn off WiFi and fastly reboot Android. At the new boot you will find your WiFi turned on. And since I don't like that my U8800 Pro takes decisions, I have fixed this minor issue.

Anyway, Gingerbread is going to be even better, fixing minor issues and I am very happy to share my developments.

Regards!

Hi, man! :) what new in 3.0.2 cuz in Russiaw we are already flashing it: D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
The v3.0.2 is more clean than the previous version, only few optimizations in the build.prop and no news.

I'm noticing that sometimes WiFi auto turns on at the reboot... this minor bug is still alive!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
Hmmm 3.0.2 doesn't want be installed to my device. Flashing onto clean phone leads to boot loop on flower. Flashing onto 2.7 - endless loading on Android logo (bootanimation)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Did you applied UPDATE.APP for hw/default devices?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
Sure, I've been succesfully using all the previous versions. Now I'm on v3
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
It's a little strange because yesterday I flashed succesfully the v3.0.2 on a stock device... zero problems!

Anyway I am uploading a new release, maybe it was a bad upload?

Regards
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
Ok, I'd better wait for you let us know what we should flash :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
I found a reason for the auto start WiFi radio.

The issue is present also in the stock Gingerbread B572.

It happens only if you turn off the WiFi radio and fastly reboot or power off the device using AN Reboot. Since the shutting down process (or the reboot) is really fast than the stock power off command on the common power menu Android, the system recognizes that the WiFi is still turned on and at the next boot the WiFi is auto turned on.

I think that this is a valid explanation to the apparent issue.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] G.Kaplan:
It´s strange, cos I had flashed V3.0.2 on a stock device too without troubles.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] lapy:
Hey Kalo, thank you for your fast rom :)

I just saw that you uploaded v3.0.3.

What's the change log?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
Kalo, since you don't use stadard browser I guess you wiped everyting connected with browser synchronizing?

UPD: Here is ICS style launcher for Android 2.3, it is based on original stock ICS launcher and it is really light (heavier than Zeam but anyway light and more beautiful)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
v3.0.3 has few optimizations

Thank you! I'm just testing the new launcher, anyway the size of zeam launcher is again the winner....!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
yes, but Holo doesn't have that terrible house icon in app draw :D

By the way, I liked your way in choosing the most light launchers. So now I'm on Holo, but looking foreward to seeing your new choice!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] freakn:
Same problem here (with 3.0.3) .... Android boot anim is going on and off

Is there a way to download older versions?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Hi Filatov.p,

at the moment I returned back to Zeam Launcher because it is always "light".

I need to know better Holo Launcher.

I am testing better the ROM's performances by editing the build.prop file and I will choose the best configuration for the new v3.0.4.

I invite all user who want to help me with testing, please run AnTuTu Benchmark without the Sdcard IO test.

So we can compare the best configuration, since the total score is a sum of partial scores.

Thank you for collaboration!

This is my best score at the moment:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] freakn:
Did you update your download page already? haha .... strange but I've downloaded 3.0.1 and everyting is working fine at the moment :-) thanks for your great work
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:

I think I've seen screenshot of AnTuTu Benschmark results couple of pages before and there was ~3300. Or it was the other thread...:confused:

Yeah I wasn't sleeping this very post by Kalo
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fps-dum:
Hmmm, Launcher Pro more lighter than Zeam & Holo & other launchers, on my device Launcher Pro "eat" only 6-7 mb RAM with "light" preset settings and interface is much smoother than the other.

And my test...

p.s. but before that I had a 3007, but could not save this screenshot =(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
fps-dum, where did you see that Launcher pro eats 6Mb? I remember it got about 30-35Mb just like the other similar launchers. Holo in cache is 16 Mb

Translation:

Привет! Где ты смотришь поедание оперативы лауничером? В кэшированных процессах? Я помню у меня он на ранних версиях прошивки ел порядка 30 метров как и другие ему подобные лаунчеры. Holo в кэше висит 16 Мб
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fps-dum:
The screenshot can be seen that uses 6300 mb!

Ну 30-35 это уж слишком. А вот если убрать с рабочего стола все, у поставить пресет легкий, то вот что получится, видно на скриншоте

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Hi guys,

it's getting ever better with AnTuTu scores, I know that it's not an absolute comparing, but it's always a test for me to understand if tweaks are working better or not.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kingpicus:
When upload new version ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Soon!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
My score is 2941.

But I think you Kalo test rom freshely installed? My is configured for everyday use
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Yes, in these days I am testing fresh ROMs but while I notice stable values for CPU, RAM, 2D, 3D, the Database IO is not so stable...

I am guessing that the patched libsqlite.so is not a good thing....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
but the scores of DB IO are higher than stock ones, aren't they? I mean if results are not stable but libsqlite.so makes what it was patched for and increase overall performance, isn't it a benefit for device?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
For sure the patched libsqlite.so increase the database input/output performance but I cannot explain why the score is not into a limited and fixed range.

EDIT: I just made a twin ROM based on the official B572. The AnTuTu score (without Sdcard IO of course) is 3000. So, B876 Gingerbread 2.3.6 is still the winner between Android 2.3.5 and 2.3.6.

Soon I will post the final result, the test is very interesting because what changes between B876 and B572 is the /system folder. Then the build.prop file has the same values, the same kernel, the same tweaks.

Another B572 score is 3029, a good one!!!

EDIT_2: B572 has high scores like B876. This could mean that I may consider to continue my development with B572 but..... B572 is based on Android Gingerbread 2.3.5 and B876 is a Gingerbread 2.3.6. I prefer the newest possible 2.3.6... And you?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
I'm so sorry for your phone! :D

What about other tweaks? Don't you want to test rom with some scripts for optimizing performance?
