[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jasonak0s:
im downloading right now so wait for feedback! :)

OFFTOPIC: Mos, in .35 X1 Rom, my superuser doesn't give root access to apps, it says superuser request, but there is no confirmation windows appearing.

And there is a hiss in speaker volume.. can you tell me how to solve that? I've tried everything!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
doesn't have the fix for the atmel.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Does it even need one? I thought that it was fixed for Aurora ROMs?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] MosTERRA:
SX have dzo's ICS kernel. No touchscreen sensitive problem.

I have not encountered this problem on my phone. What can I do, I do not know.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Boots OK. :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jasonak0s:
First bug: Doesn't recognise my SIM card, it says No service! (EDIT: It recognised it after 3-4 minutes)

Second bug, Capacitive keys backlight doesnt exist :) (EDIT: Backlight keys do work, after 10 minutes)

That's strange...

Third bug, when going to settings -> storage it force closes!!

Fourth bug, wifi doesn't work, i press it to enable it, but it stucks at "Turning wifi on..."

Fifth bug, when changing from camera to video recording, cellphone freezes!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Qqqxxxzzz:
Downloading with my super slow 3g(1% in 15 sec):D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Backlight works just fine...Just press the "Backlight" button (you'll find it on the taskbar "widgets")

edit: I guess it's a "semi-bug"...after a reboot you have to do it again.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] clpdj:
its a "semi-bug"... so far all good
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jasonak0s:
Have you tested the wifi? and going to settings and cliking on Storage?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] r1c4rd0:
it would be really clarifing for everybody if you post in 1st post whts working and not...

its a question of organization and easy fluid information.

i´m downloading it right now.

you efford value a lot, thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jasonak0s:
ricardo, we don't know what's working or not yet, we are testing it right now.. he just uploaded the link..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] r1c4rd0:
we dont but he does know the principal stuff like wifi, etc... is working. since he is compiling the room, testing and fixing it own room i think.

sorry if you understand me in the bad way.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jasonak0s:
Well, as far as im using it i noticed that Wi-Fi doesn't work and when you go to settings -> storage it force closes.. thats about it for the time..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sbasil:
Here's a short list what I've experienced so far:

2D graphics gets sluggish for no apparent reason (also Antutu 2D scores are low (130). 3D scores are OK, in fact, it scores more than GB Miui)

Capacitive keys don't have backlight by default & you have to enable it after every reboot

WIFI bug (won't connect)

Settings - Storage - "Unfortunately Settings has stopped"

It works surprisingly well considering this is still at RC stage. =)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jasonak0s:
When i press the wifi it stays on " Turning wifi on.."

Also its very slow on detecting the SIM card, and connecting to GSM network..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] maneet21:
Tried genos miui v4 its quite good smooth and stable for now

Will try this too

Nice work mosterra u rock haha:)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
So my wifi is working.

The automatic brightness is not working.

The scrolling is slow
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] MtG92:
Geno should create a thread here for his rom...until now I didn't even know he was porting MIUI v4...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] JanviN:
Will this rom be multilingual? I'm thinking specifically on Norwegian keyboard layout, like in .v9.7
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mbinx:
I got a problem when connecting to wifi, it's a little bit slow.. but it's okay now.. when syncing it becomes sloooooow so sloooooow..

EDIT: wifi still slow, I try to download from play store but it keeps saying downloading without any download icon on statusbar. I should restart to make it download
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
U can say that after try it is very slow. I have done all the cleaning that sis needed and still no good results. The rom is slow and u couldn't receive emails. Some crash that I need to take out the battery to restart again.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] MtG92:
Yes, I tried it and it is still slow... faster than previous releases, but still slower than crazymiui.

MosTerra, maybe you and CrazyGamerGR could collaborate. I don't think he works with kernels, so there's a bunch of recurring bugs in his roms that just don't get fixed, but maybe you could help with that and give all the U8800 users a better miui v4 experience. You know what I mean? His rom is faster, but maybe yours is more stable, so if you collaborated it would get a lot better.

But, of course, that's ultimately up to you two, I'm just making a suggestion. Nevertheless, good work and thanks for returning to U8800 development ;).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] aliasbody:
RE

Does this ROM allows the use of the internal memory :S ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Metsuki19:
this ROM suffers the same problem as CrazyMIUI and the latest ICS: cant turn v-sync on.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mbinx:
yesterday i tried this rom but i have problem on market won't download. but now i have the solution, install gtalk first, then clear data and cache of play store in app setting .. gonna try this rom again tonight..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] topaasi:
Elite ROM gives phone not working error when trying to put pin code.

Help me with this...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
take of the pin code from the sim, after it will not give the error
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mbinx:
when connecting to wifi phone getting slower and finally reboot itself. . anyone got this bug?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] eksuka:
How did you install Gtalk and which one did you install? I really need this particular app for communicating.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mbinx:
u just need to put gtalk apk(ics version) on system/app and change its proprties rw-r--r--
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pipoawas:
I installed it, did the 3 wipes before, but when trying input the PIN code I only receive the message "Unfortunately com.android.phone has stopped"

Installed already 3 time, then I gave up
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Triflot:
You need to disable the PIN code on your SIM card from another ROM/phone first. MIUI v4 crashes due to the pin code.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pipoawas:
I already installed another rom, but thanks anyway.

miui 2.7.6 doesn't have record FM function. Who can tell as which modifications needed to support that(drivers etc).(I am trying porting that function for U8800pro -miui.

Any suggestions
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] VickySullivan:
can i install this rom over stock froyo sir?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] nayneshdev:
No you cannot. Whenever you see any rom based on kernel 2.6.35.xx or greater such as 3.0.8.xx or the baseband 404020, you cannot install it over froyo, you need to upgrade to official gb. If GPS is something which is a must for you i suggest you shouldn't upgrade as the baseband 404020 is known to have very bad GPS and bad wifi reception. Froyo baseband is much better. These are my personal experiences.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cobramax:
This rom not stable
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] alperenadalar:
Is that rom better than Elite v9.7 Galnet?

Which rom is stable? Is this rom multilingual (TR)?

Please answer my question :confused:

I broke my phone and i use my old u8800 temporarily :rolleyes:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] btrst:

MIUI v4

I have installed this rom: ICS v4.0.3

can I install this rom MIUI v4 ...over the ICS v...?

sry for my bad english
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] olfyboy:
Yes, you can. As this ROM is using .35 kernel, which dzo's Aurora ICS also does, you can safely flash this ROM over Aurora. Just remember to wipe data and cache.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] thongminh:
Thank for hard work !

I Just flash this rom ! Every thing is OK ! I love Elite Rom and now i love Elite SX more than before ! Thank Dev !
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ferahfeza:
Hi Terra, i have flashed your rom. Here is some issues:

1- Language setting dont work. Always in English.

2- Some application's name is in Chinese.

3- A delay with recognizing with sim card.

5- Wifi OK.

Thank you for this rom.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] greddyrx7:
The SD card is not recognized!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] thongminh:

Cann't change ringstone !

Do you fix on the next up date ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] soumen08:
Been using this for a few hours now.

Working -

Camera (with shutter sound)

WiFi

3G

Root

Maps (latest from market)

FM Radio (for what it's worth)

Headset button fully working (long press to skip track too :D )

Not Working

The settings menu does force close.

The text messaging app does not seem to be registering sent messages.

Infact, i think it does not send the message at all.

Ill be happy to test out anything else people want to know. The sooner more people move to this, the better it will get.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] boss_y:
Sms problem also with me, market is force cloasing. Settings menu working with me.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Gefjon:
Regarding Market problem: clear the application cache. That solved it for me
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] boss_y:
That helped. Thx

So I have another problem, my device is heating up more then usual. Somebody?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] faizan_950:

please make change log on the front page :(

but appreciated for you hard work :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jasonak0s:
You can change the ringtone, if you go into music app, select your song to play, press menu and then set as ringtone..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] cirnocirno:
Question this rom, do you need to upgrade / downgrade or so. It's not specific in anyway, I mean requirements and such, even for being a RC shouldn't there be somekind of log?

Thanks in advance!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] vlc_marcos:
So i can say that the rom is stable with minor glictes.

The speed is good and the wifi is good. The battery is a problem it changes very quick, from 87% to 50% in 12 min, but i need to say tgat i have restore my apli with data to so it can be making some problems.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] MosTERRA:
Yes. I am testing now.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] snake_boss:
It's possible to use this command in your ROM? (use su; setprop persist.sys.wifimac mac_param=11:22:33:44:55:66)

Dzo add this in his rom to people like me that have problems with mac address could override 00.00.00.00.00 mac address....

I want to know if this is implemented, or if not it is possible to add it to your rom... 'Cause without it I can't have any wifi

Guys what is a better option out of the two:

1. try elite rom .35

2. try elite sx.

anybody who has tried both?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jasonak0s:
I whould say that until the RC4 (as im aware of, mos is testing RC4 and he upload it in a short time) the elite SX is worse than the .35 X1..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] A.C.A.B.:
Wat is the difference between .32 and .35 versions?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] MosTERRA:

4 - Bluetooth Tethering: Works

5 - Stereo BlueTooth Headphone for Call and Music: Works (8-10 meter)

6 - GPS: Works

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] inculto:
+1 im using 1024 Mhz ondemand and with almost no use my battery drains in a day...

for me its being the only problem of .35 roms. that and like in aurora i cant use apn portugal apk to set my apns, i get force close if i hit the button to configure.

now talking about this particular rom im using it about since yesterday and im really amazed about it but i noticed that it haves so much in common with aurora even the games and programs that didint work in aurora are pretty much the same, it gives the impression that is an aurora rom but with miui traces. dont get me wrong i like it very much but isnt a true miui based rom or im wrong?

lets se other bugs that i remember lool

radio app doesnt seem to work or i dont know how to use it =X but i plugged my nokia headseat that i use to listen music and make calls with my nokia so i think isnt hardware problem, but i cant find any radio frequencies...

and the other bug that i noticed is the sms to send bug...

if it haves other bugs i dont know but one thing i know is that im amazed with this rom

congrats to developers of it and keep the good work
