F@@@CK

I FORGOT TO CHANGE THE KERNEL (boot.img)

UPLOADING THE OVERCLOCKED VERSIONS NOW (hitaxas ,probably your issues after this change maybe will be solved)

SORRY ,

IN ABOUT AN HOUR ,THE NEW LINKS WILL BE READY .... SORRY FOR THIS ..... :o

EDIT

all links ready for downloading ....

@hitaxas

try the new ones with o/c kernel to see if your problem continues ....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] skipped:
Sorry man, I made that guide asumming people came from u8800-51 stock rom.. I will clarify that
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Ιf you find me , the major "update app" , for u8800-51 , I can try to cook a rom for your device , maybe without any kind of problem....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] skipped:
Thanks man, but its impossible. Many people attempted to find the "update.app" for u8800-51, but no one has it. Some people even contacted Huawei and their operators with no luck.. Thats why we have do go back to u8800-51 using an entire phone disk restore (from another person).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Ok , I search myself , and I didn't find anything .....

If you have a backup from stock rom , then open it and send me the , " system tar" file .... to see if I can do something with it .....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] hitaxas:
Alright, I am going to redo everything I mentioned in my last post, but with the new ROM, I will edit this post with the results. If it all goes well, I will have it working with 4G. :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Good , maybe the problem was , that I forgot to change the , boot.img ....... I hope so ......

Ps

Why don't you try to flash it over , horse v1 ,,,,, and if it didn't succeed ,, then follow your procedure ...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] hitaxas:
I tried to flash over V1, and that caused got rid of 4G again.

So I redid the entire process.

I can access 4G, but the google play store crashes when I open it now...

I get these 2 errors:

The process android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

The application Google Play Store (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Try to install the stock vending.apk .....

Or , unzip the Horse v1 ,

Look at system/app

And find the applications that missing from Horse Black , and then ,, use root explorer to copy and paste the missing apps to , system/app ,,,,,, give permissions (rw-r--r--) ...... reboot ,and try to use market again ......

Btw , I don't know if ,skipped had the same problem as you with Horse black ....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] skipped:
I havent have time to test the new version.. I will tell you when I flash it..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Ok , skipped .....

BUT

I also noticed something strange with market ......

I use , Horse black , and after hitaxas told that has problem with market , I open market and I saw something strange ...... it saws only free apps and NON the paid apps, so I took the market app from Horse V1 , and replace it with market app , on , Horse Black ,

Then I delete data and reboot my phone .....

I opened market again , AND this time worked correctly , and shows all applications ( free and paid )

Still cannot understand , why this happened ,,,,,, because the versions are the same , but the version of Horse V1 , worked correctly ... and the version of Horse Black , not ....

I don't understand that ....

BTW , after the change I describe ,, market worked correct again ....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iTzPeters:
Horse Rom

Excellent rom!!!

Thank you for your work. This is the only rom that i found that works with my device without any bugs. It works perfectly on my u8800-51(Impulse 4G).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
You welcome ......

Thanks for your good words ......

I cooked a rom for U8800 pro , and finally i see ,that , except u8800 pro happy users ,, we have also happy u8800-51 users (thanks to skipped).....

I feel great , for this ......

As you see , it's the only one rom without a single bug ,,,, noone post a bug for this rom yet ..... and i'm sure that the difficult part is , to find a bug on this rom .....

The achievement of this rom ,, is just one word , "BUGLESS".....

Thanks .....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] hitaxas:
I reinstalled using my previous method, I can use mobile data. however, I still get the 2 force closes I mentioned. Will see if I can replace them with the versions from the non data backup later tonight.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
good , try to replace the apps , with root explorer ...

and if you still have problems , i will provide you a new .zip to test it ....

Edit

lets see .......
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] hitaxas:
I got the market to work by removing it with titanium backup and installing an apk I found on these forums! Thank you for your excellent work on this ROM, it's made my life much easier, no lie.

I will do a nandroid back up later and test your test ROM to see if anything else can be improved. :-)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
That's , great ....

I'm happy you made it ..... :)

The test rom , it's just V1 , and i changed , framework-res.apk and services.jar ......
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
I have P.M.'s , that people ask me , about a video tutorial (guide) , on how to downgrade ......

But i'm sorry, i cannot do that .... because i have to upgrade first and then downgrade again ... and as there is no gingerbread rom , without issues , i don't want to upgrade yet ........

So , if someone could make a video , about how to downgrade , it will be great ...... Thanks ......
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] KayxGee1:
Is there a way to disable the theme and just have stock android? I prefer roms without themes.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
The theme cannot be disabled ....

But tomorrow , i will upload a version , without the theme and without added applications ....

I got , P.M.'s , about a Lite rom , without theme and added applications ,,,

So you're not the only one that likes the stock theme ,,,,, just i need few hours to upload the Lite Version ......
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] KayxGee1:
Sounds great! I'm loving the speed and performance of the rom. No bugs at all. You have been thanked kind sir. :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Thanks a lot .....

THE , HORSE_ROM_LITE , Version is ready , and uploading right now ...

Stock theme ,, deleted applications , you have to install from market any application you like ....

i will refresh the first page later .....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] hitaxas:
I have a question regarding theming. Is it possible to make the background of the settings menu black? It is black in the stock u8800-51 ROM. And to be honest, it's much easier on the eyes than a white background.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
i want it too ,, but it's difficult , and i have no time to search on this ...

but if you find me , your stock (u8800-51) system applications ,, maybe i'll try it ...

EDIT

download deleted applications , here..

http://www.mediafire.com/?3bir5rzwc8csdwr ..... :cool:

A good application package ...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iTzPeters:
No Problem HORSE V1 is flawless. I'm just happy that someone is finally doing something for the U8800-51. I've been looking everywhere for a ROM that works well on this device, and I'm always interested in something new. Keep me posted if you do anything else for this device or if you need someone to test for this device(U8800-51). I'm a bit of a noob, but I'm always willing to help with what I can.

Also does the HORSE POWER BLACK ROM work with the U8800-51?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] hitaxas:
It does, I am using it on mine currently. It took a little work to get everything working for me, but I now have it running with no issues.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
As hitaxas , said , it works ....

I made a test.zip for hitaxas (on page 8 ,the last post) .....

It's the Horse V1 , but with the black theme .....

Try this , and i think its gonna work without problems ....

I can provide also , a black theme zip , to flash it from recovery , if the test.zip don't work (i doubt ) ....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Arklord:
reboot when screen is locked

Hi,

First thank you ! i was missing the wifi since the update to Gingerbread and your themes and apps are great.

Little issue i have notice on my U8800pro is that the phone is rebooting when unused for a while... very strange but annoying....

Does anybody has experienced something similar with the Horse Power Black rom?

Thanks!!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zontovolo:
why i dont have credits for the origin of the roms name? (just kidding ofcourse)!

(sou emeine to horse apo tote eeeee? ;-) ) cool rom flawless! and if you find any bug its huaweis fault remember!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Well, could you try to flash the , test.zip ( page 8 , last post ) ...

Do all the wipes first ( data ,cache , dalvik cache ) , and format/system ..

Strange i don't have such a problem ......

Try the test.zip , its the same theme ( black ) ,,,, and tell me if the problem remains ....

Xaxaxa , nai eixe plaka ...

Thanks , zontovolo , i'll take care of your demand .... :):):)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] marjel88:
its great rom , thanks ....

i like also the theme of this rom ...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Thanks , i want to make something more on theming ,but i don't have time now .... will see ...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] DemosZevasa:
I am familiar with UI themes on other platforms. If you could guide me on how to make a theme for this ROM, I would be happy to do so :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kryeziu:
Great , Great rom thanks , gkalenis i dont want and i dont care on themes so much, all i want is stability and to have my phone without problems ,this rom dissapear all my problems , thanks again
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
that's really good ....

the easy way is this ...

http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/

all you need ( how to ...etc ) is there ....

the other way , is to theme framework and system and data applications ,, by moddifing the .png's inside the applications ....

for example if you want to make a more complicated theme ,you must took the stock , framework-res.apk , then change .png icons and colours( i use photoshop for this job) ,,, and after that i put it in the , uot kitchen and i finished the theme ....

if you want something more ... i'm here ( also you have to google it on your own to find more things on theming ) ...

thanks kryeziu ,, i'm happy that you like this rom ,, and i think that you're not gonna have any problem again ......
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalo86:
I have a great news!

Since I got my device from Huawei Assistance (I lost IMEI time ago), I made a full backup with my lovely Linux OS.

I noticed that my stock Froyo 2.2.2 has this build number: U8800PV100R001C00B032.

That is to say that I am going to make a customized version of Android Froyo for our U8800 Pro and I will decide which is better between Froyo U8800PV100R001C00B032 and Gingerbread 2.3.6 (Honor Porting B876).

I hope to help all You Users! :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Kalo , this is great news ,, cause i'm not a developer and it seems too complicated for me to make a port , for .32 kernel ( froyo ) .....

If you do that it will be great....

I think that .32 kernel , is better than .35 kernel ....

You are the only one european developer ,, and all of us ,,, we expected only from you to do something for our phones ....

It will be great if you port B876 , for froyo ( .32 kernel ) ..... and i think that its gonna work better than .35 kernel ......

If you want anything from me , just ask me ...... ( you have B032 ,, and i have B026 , , B021 and B025 )

For me B026 (uploaded by Mariosbbs) release works better without a single error ....i try also to cook a rom with B021 and B025 but gives me a lot of FC's ....

I'll post the links later , when i go home , , cause i'm at work right now...

Thanks , again

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] juanlopera:
Hi Gkalenis, well today i flash your rom, its great really(i see in the performance), but i have a question: my phone is a USA impulse 4G, the strange it´s that have the same boot animation and bloatware from ATT, but in the about phone section appears like horse rom and U800pro device, this is normal? i made all the procedure and wipes...

Thx man and again: Goooooooooood job!!!!!!!!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Yes its normal that appears like u8800 pro ...

I'm glad , that you like this rom ....

And what about languages ?? Do you have any problem , with languages ??
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gentjan:
I flash your rom gkalenis and i'm very happy with my phone now

I didn't find any problems yet and all i have to say is:

UNBELIEVABLE ROM and very nice theme , my phone become a new one

Thanks for your work and waiting for your new release ..... :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] juanlopera:
Hi Gkalenis... yea the phone have the follow localizations: English, Spanish, a 2 chineses (traditional and simplified)... no other more (no greek, or portuguese, french or other from international, for me this not smell good!!!) why (the sames languages tahn stock Rom :confused:

The most strange situation its that i have the same boot animation and bloatware from ATT, why? i make all the wipes in the recovery (all you instructions), but the only thing that made the rom its add some programs and kernel... everithingh else remain the same!!!

maps show me force close without open...

i ask this in other post but nobody answer me yet, i'm sorry bother you a lot... else the rest its a great rom, i can use Setcpu with no issues up to 1400 mhz!!!!

Thx man thsi is a really good job, i only need fix my issue
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Well , for languages .... at my phone has only greek and english ,, at other countries appears other languages ,, for example in denmark ,, has denmark and english and the 2 chineses .... i don't know why ,but in every country appears the local language and english ....

Bootanimation changed only at horse v1 and to horse power black,,,, so if you use the lite version ,the boot animation remains the same ...

And for the maps ,, just open the application once or delete it and install it again from market and you'll be just fine ....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gentjan:
Well ,gkalenis, i found a problem

I try to play some gameloft games and none of them is playable (said that my device don't support it or something like that.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] uncleradio:
I'm kinda in trouble now... I've managed to get back to froyo, but now the sensor flipped (i get vertical menu when holding it horizontally and vise-versa) + it reboots every few minutes

Any ideas :confused:

As well, once into recovery, I get E:Can't open /dev/block/mmcblk0pz (No such file or directory)

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

:(

Update: after dancing here and there got into froyo and sensor is ok and it doesn't reboot.

However, the recovery is still giving same error.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Check ,, if your ,, image folder (via pink screen) ,,, included all files or not .....

What rom did you use ,, before you try to go back to froyo ???

Edit

Maybe you have to go first to an official huawei rom (b512 ,, b572 ,,, etc) ,,, and after that ,, try to downgrade , if you came from ,kalo's rom .....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gentjan:
Great rom the Horse Black GB

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Thank you all ,, guys ....

You know that , i don't really like , launcher pro ,, but it fits perfect and it's sooooo f***ing fast and smooth ....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] TUPAC_RIP:
gkaleni have you ever tried 360 Launcher (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1345601) ? And if so, what's your opinion? I always prefer a launcher with the ability of creating folders in the app drawer.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Yes i tried once ,,, it's a good launcher ,,, but i prefer the vertical app drawer ,, i don't like horizontal scroll ....

Anyway it's a real good launcher

Edit

Also for everyone who wants to use ,, another launcher ,, then you have to edit ,, 06loopy smoothness tweak , in init.d , folder ,,, cause i allready edited for using launcher pro at last release ,,,,,,, and edited for using go launcher in previous releases .....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] DemosZevasa:
I can install this over Horse Power Black with no wipes?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:

Great ROM

Another EXCELLENT release!!! Very fast and smooth. please keep up the great work! :D

U8800-51
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Thanks ,, iTzPeters

But as i said , i'm not a developer ,, so i don't know what else to do except some more theming ,,,, rom works great ,, so you'll have to wait a bit more to have a newest release .....

So ,,, enjoy 4 versions of Horse Rom ,,, untill we have something ,really new .....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iTzPeters:
sounds good. can't wait to see whats next! keep up the good work
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Mmmmmm ,,, well ,, yesterday i was playing ,, and i changed , launcher pro with , go launcher (new version) ,,, and i flash the ,Black GB with go launcher as system launcher and i saw that, the theme completely changed to android 3.0 UI (that's because of go launcher,, not of me),,

So i will release , a last version , with ,go launcher as system launcher , for those who likes ,android 3.0 UI ....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iTzPeters:
That works for me. i don't really like Launcher Pro, prefer Go Launcher. I really like the Player Pro with the equalizer feature, I think it giver a crisper sound. But I wanted to suggest maybe trying to add a screenshot feature? If possible. And maybe adding the Gingerbread keyboard as system the system keyboard if possible? (I just like the Gingerbread keyboard):D

If I can help in any way let me know. I don't have that much experience but I'm always willing to help with what I can.

U8800-51:p
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
thanks for your good willing , my friend

so , i will release 2 final versions , next week ...

a very light version and a normal one

for gingerbread keyboard , you can easily have it with , smartkeyboard

at smartkeyboard settings ,,, choose , general settings ,,,and with first option you can choose , what kind of keyboard you like (iphone, android , gingerbread , galaxy , HTC ..... etc )
