i think its a bit more than a theme,the layout and functions are completely different than the stock dialer

Just testing 360 Launcher and it's fantastic!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
well.. friend , korekore1 ,, is right about MIUI dialer , its more than a theme ... ;)

so i decide to make a dialer for , KALO V1.8 ,, and probably gonna work also for V1.6 and V1.7 .....

i took the .png's from , bluemagic theme ...

THEMED DIALER ... download

http://www.mediafire.com/?eep3y6km85m57fe

and the , themed settings.apk , gonna work also for V1.8 ...

http://www.mediafire.com/?7lkzal5skit8hvl

HOW TO INSTALL , the themed dialer ...

first , unzip ..

then , via root explorer , COPY , the contacts.apk and phone.apk , and PASTE them to ,, system ,, give permissions (rw-r--r-- ) and then ,MOVE , both apps to ,, app ,, and replace them ... reboot and enjoy ...

the path is ,, system/app ,, but we have to do the above trick to avoid force close before we give permissions ,, thats why we give permissions to ,, system ,, and then we move them to ,, app .... ( easy) :cool:

if someone could make screenshots , i appreciate it .... :)

Bad news for me, spent half a night to restore my apps on the new 1.7 (Titanium Backup refused to work, Lucky Patcher can't solve the new version, so automatic restore in TB doesn't work for me) and here is the new 1.8... :D

kalo, the rom is AWESOME, stable and fast, by far the best i have used. But the sound recording on the videocamera isn't good... that's the only bad thing i can see on it. And as an idea, wouldn't it be a good idea to use the volume button as camera shutter? or tap the screen to shoot as in miui? Just my opinion. Cheers!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] s4k1s:
360Launcher is good.. but I do not like the letter separation in vertical arrangement in the app drawer. Plus It should have an option to remove the dock background and an option to add blur or another color in app drawer. Nevertheless though it's fast and good looking!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kingpicus:
was fix?, or was it just a matter of a single update?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
It is in English, and can contain the only one language. Kalo mustn't make 250 translations to this launcher. Make translation yourself, or ask specialists in your country to do it.

By the way Kalo, if you make the next update with 360 launcher, you may probably collect versions with different languages. Russian one may provide

If someone wants the weather apk (which is usually placed in /cust/unicom/cn/app/TotemWeather.apk), I can upload it ;)

I tried 360 Launcher, nice, but I always prefer Launcher Pro.

LauncherPro is always good, 360 is offering too preferences, an integrated Cleaner, but I don't like very much the application layout.

Since 2 hours I am trying a new release (still not uploaded) which has a new phone.apk theme (nicer) and with the default audio configuration (no more beats_audio support by HTC).

I feel a better audio quality in calls. FM Radio is almost the same quality.

I am worried if Beats audio is another placebo effect...

I cannot find differences between v1.8 (with beats audio) and v1.9 (no beats audio).

Maybe the most important file is the modded framework.jar which makes a real difference?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] akalos:
it is,for my ears at least :p

do not say that,

kalo is good thing in greek,but a-kalos is man who do not make good things

so,i am the badman:D

p.s it's just a nick name after all
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] korekore1:
the bad thing about beats audio is that you can't turn it off,or change anything ,plus the only thing it does is to apply a specific equalizer setting (most suited for hiphop),with a lot of low end,that in my opinion can't translate too good on a mobile phone speaker (that plays a lot more than hiphop music aka voice,lo-fi games sounds,notifications,etc,it affects ALL the output!)

Plus it is designed to be used with beats audio headphones that correspond to that SPECIFIC equalizer setting.So the results from applying it system-wide on a mobile phone without the beats audio headset is really unpredictable,bear in mind that our mobile's speaker is crappy,and crappy speakers suffer more from reinforced low frequencies (what beats audio does)

Plus you can get the same equalizer setting as a preset from volume+ application,because beats audio is just an eq curve,nothing magical or technological about it!i know a couple of things about audio because i'm a sound engineer ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Yes , its ok ,, i saw the icons when i was theming the dialer ,,

Ps

If someone can make a screenshot , from themed dialer.......

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] yrxe:
Fresh install of kalo's rom 1.8 for the first time.

Performance is really well. :)

1.8ghz Antutu result is 4243 (CM7.2 (not fresh install) - 4295) main criteria that has less performance is 2d/3d graphics.

will post later what I found more.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
Probably my question may be offtopic but anyway. How the voice dialing may be performed on our devices with this rom? I couldn't dial any number with my voice even running Aurora with specific app. Should I use app from market?

You need voicesearch.apk

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] yrxe:
Second approach.

that was nice to see that my beloved CM 7.2 was beaten in performance when cpu was lowered to 1.5ghz / 1ghz. Kalos results 3980 (1.5)/ 3151 (1.0) grades higher approximately by 40 points. :)

First things that I missed:

toggle 2g/3g in notification bar (CM had this and I used it not less than 2-3 times a day). is there any app?

Lockscreen. will have to find my favorite as original is not as useful as CM built in.

Battery drain: 50min lost 9% maybe normal dont know as those 50mins was mostly used for testing with wifi enabled.

2 days now with version 1.8 and notice battery drain too. Never had any similar problem with 1.6 and previews versions. Maybe a battery calibration will fix it, I will see.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] tasosmrs:
Hello to you Kalo and everyone, I 've tried almost all of your versions and I think they are perfect. Right now I am using the latest (for now!) 1.8.

I experienced some lags and launcher force closing so I switched for now to the stock kernel to see how it responds.

Since nobody mentioned it (I think) earlier I would like to know if there is a way that I can have the latinime.apk file with greek keybord since none of your versions included one. I tried to implement the apk from geno's cm7.2.0 that includes greek but it seems to have almost half the size of a normal keybord. Maybe one of the greek guys has already solved this issue. Just to mention, I am already using go keybord.

And a second thing is that at contacts apk (right now I 'm using gkalenis' apk) there is a vertical bar with letters that plays the role of scroll bar. But this as well is with latin letters and isn't very helpful for us greeks. If it is not much of a trouble I would appreciate a solution on that.

Till now I have used on my phone many ginger stock versions of rom (512, 540, 572) and geno's cm7.2.0 but I think that your's Kalo are by far the best (that's why I 've tested almost all (1.0, 1.1, 1.4, 1.6, 1.7 and now 1.8)

Hope I didn't tire you all. Many thanks to Kalo.

Keep up the very good work!

what does this do?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Hello People, Good Easter!

My developing never stops, in fact I am testing a new release (still in beta testing but now I can be the beta-tester hehehe).

This is a summary with the changelog:

- Removed LauncherPro and replaced with Zeam Launcher (only

388 Kb

, incredible and amazing for its dimension in weight);

- Removed 5 apk files (DrmProvider, HWDrmApp, MMITest_II, PicoTts, VpnServices): my phone is working very fine, anyway I still don't know if these 5 apks are needed by other manually-installed application . By default the B876 stock ROM works fine without them but I am uploading a new (updated) file "New Removed Applications" which contains these 5 removed files;

- Maybe someone just knows this, but in the next release there will be the stock audio support and no more Beats Audio by HTC. Still now I am experiencing a great audio quality, no differences at all. Maybe Beats Audio is another placebo effect and for this reason I will never try to manipulate/integrate the audio/video quality again for Huawei U8800 Pro. It has not sense because we have different hardware. Users can always test other multimedia supports by yourself and post here the result/experience;

- Disabled the creation of "/sdcard/bugreport" directory with log files inside it, always annoying to delete that folder;

- I'm trying to understand the real meaning of

"ro.config.hw_fast_dormancy=0"

in /system/build.prop file. I am trying with the comment (#ro.config.hw_fast_dormancy=0) but I really don't see the difference.

Please have try because I am in the way to disable this function;

- If someone is noticing a huge battery drain please make the specific solution: Wipe Battery Stats with this procedure: when your phone shutdowns by itself because of the low battery level, after few seconds power on your U8800 Pro entering in Recovery mode, then choose advanced, wipe battery stats, power off and full charge the battery in Power OFF mode (not powered on).

I am having better battery performance, really, even if I did not have battery drain at all.

Please test/play with ro.config.hw_fast_dormancy=0 thank you!

Regards,

kalo86
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kingpicus:
Because remove these four apps?

might need to install later, needed for app downloaded from market.

is not too risky?, ...we may lose future stability. is difficult predict when this is needed for apps

for example:

Between three month I install "google maps" and the application does not work well because in the system lacks "DrmProvider" needed for perfect working.....

Finally the advantage in tiny.

This is my opinion.

My thoughts: "...stability and perfect functionality is he true rule."

Thanks

Hi Enrico,

that is the main reason why I am testing v1.9 by myself, I am testing a new release and without those 5 files I am not experiencing problems, all is fine.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
I've tested that mod too, that is why i asked Kalo to upload standard apk files. I thknk the deсiыion to use such icons is not very good, cuz when I make a call icons on the screen are not really fancy... sorry but i would prefer Kalo's grafics instead. Thoug i use exDialer :D

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
Kalo, why don't you want to use themed lockscreen as default from that ICS theme. It looks great! Muchbetter than stock one i think
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
The answer is simple: I would like to have a full working Gingerbread.

ICS is another version, if someone want the ICS theme it's better to apply a full theme, no?

I don't know if it is used, but is someone still using "Fast boot" option?

Time ago I read something about this Huawei function which caused problems with external sdcard (burning with no solution to back in life...).

If user are agreed I would like to disable this function not really wanted by me...

I don't know if this matters but when I was using the cm7.2.0 rom the keyboard had the right size!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
Ok, I got it. Thanks for info bout fast boot.

And one more thing. Probably

bad news

for all of us using Android devices. The way we "prevent" battery drain is completely useless. Wiping battery stats only helps system show us correct and highly exact number of battery percentage in the UI but not making it "eat" less battery. To proove my words here is the link where Google specialists tell this.

The only way that may extend battery life are the full cycles of discharge and charge. Make once or twice a month full discharge of your battery and let it fully charge with phone turned on, it is gonna be good and necessary training for battery.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sofoklas:
go to system folder and open built.prop file with e text viewer.

you will find a line "ro.sf.lcd_density=240"

If the number at the end is biger than 240 you should change it.

Maybe you change it by mistake with rom toolbox or an other app
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] tasosmrs:
[HTML][/HTML]

lcd density is 240! Any other ideas? I don't know if someone can extract from first stock (I think it was 512) the latinime.apk and upload it or if can pinpoint where can I get the zip file so as to extract it myself. I tried to do it myself from the update.app with dsixda's kitchen but I can't.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] termagazis:
thats right kalos!also one request from me if possible:a custom bootanimation maybe!just for eye!:D

with kitchen you have to built an update.zip first from update.app and then extract the app.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Hello,

again news for all you.

I think to have definitely solved the "random vibrations issue".

I completely disabled the bugreports, usually turned on when you press fastly or at the same time VOL + and VOL -.

I had to modify ramdisk of the kernel, so in the next B876_KALO_v1.9 there will be another version of boot.img.

I am testing a new 5-way reboot, a more usefull apk which brings also the airplane mode, nice!

Quick power on (fast boot) is disabled; bootanimation is also disabled (only a new line in build.prop which disables the Android boot animation) because is reducing the boot time process.

Still in beta testing but the v1.9 is quite stable, fast, no reboots, no vibrations.

Zeam Launcher is very light...

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kingpicus:
Good Job. When make pubblic new 1.9 version?

Inviato dal mio U8800pro usando Tapatalk
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
Kalo, Zeam Launcher is light, but what about functions and perfomance?

Anyway I think everyone can install the launcher he wants.

upd: nevermind, found myself :)

I think that launcher is pretty good judging by its description here.

But I hate the home button in apps grid :/

Can it be replaced somehow?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
The only negative thing is the Home button in apps grid, yes... I agree.

Anyway I always use light settings for any launcher, this is the main reason why I cannot take advantage of better/bigger launcher.

I am very happy with less than 400Kb! ;)

I am noticing that AN-Reboot had a little bug: sometimes when you reboot the phone, the wifi is turned on even if wifi was turned off before rebooting.

With the new rebooter (now with 5 options) I am not noticing this bug.

Another topic: I don't like very much Google Music because it's not able to play flac files.

Nobody knows a better player? I'm going to remove Google Music, almost heavy for "nothing" except for a nice user experience in the graphic interface, then nothing for serious auditor! :(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
I use , player pro

But i don't know if it plays flac files..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Is Player Pro able to play audio and video files?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
I don't think so.....

Also ,,,,, km player ... http://m.androidzoom.com/android_applications/media_and_video/kmplayer-kmp_cedes.html
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Ok, to be "sure" and neutral I simply removed Google Music, then everyone can choose his better music/video player.

I'm uploading the new B876_KALO_v1.9 codename: Revolution!

Incredibly FAST.

Of course all removed application can be downloaded and installed, have a look at the downloads list.

by the way whats the HDR function in camera?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
HDR = High Dynamic Range

Please Google this sentence and try to understand the meaning, anyway a good thing if you have a good hand!

v1.9 ready!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
HDR - is High Dynamic Range Image. It is like when you make many shots with different exposition and gathering them in one to exceed dynamic range. In other words it makes bright areas in the picture not white spots, dark areas - not black ones

thanks guys!downloading v1.9

To enable the boot animation you have to modify build.prop file, simply removing the last line:

debug.sf.nobootanimation=1

Beats audio is another placebo, removed from ROM for obvious reasons.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
Zeam Launcher... animation of switching between apps-homescreen is a bit "dumb"

Swyping in apps is laggy, or something... don't understand... 360 Launcher is much heavier but swyped muuuuuch smoother

Hello, how do I disable beats_audio without upgrading to 1.9 (i'm using 1.8)? Is it possible?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
It's not possible.

You need to full wipe and flash v1.9
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] koalex:
Kalo, sorry for disturbing and reposting but i didn't get any response on this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24403295&postcount=546

Can you please comment it if you have any idea why there's no H.264 support in the rom?

Btw still the same behavior in 1.8. But the rom is great despite that :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Hi,

yes, you are right, I did not answer to you because I am a little busy.

What I know is that our U8800 Pro records videos with the AMR compression for the audio part. And this is the default value, at least for this port and for official Gingerbread U8800 Pro.

But in a near future I can try to implement the H264 codec, it shouldn't must be so difficult, I just need more time.

Regards
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] koalex:
Right, AAC works pretty good in your rom, too.

That's good and I'll appreciate it very much.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:
Kalo, first bug from 4pda users (havn't tried myself yet)

They say error accures when installing apps from web market (PC), Play Market crashes (com.android.vending). And when he restored these 4 apps you have deleted from rom, it works ok.

But I think the problem is in backup files of Titanium. Had such problem time ago, and wiping play market data helped
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
Thank you for this report, anyway I tested several times v1.9 with always fresh install of all my usual set of applications.

Market never crashes and I never use titanium backup because if you have "errors" in previous installations/roms/backups, you will always bring these problems to the new platform.

Another contraddiction: you make full wipes and then restore again your "old things" :rolleyes:
