Untill i finish with rest of the theme.

Download , the framework-res-hwext.apk , here ... http://www.mediafire.com/?pr6n2922dyddrdc

The path is "system/framework" , BUT copy the .apk to "system" first and give permissions ( rw-r--r-- ) , then move the .apk to "framework" and replace .

NOTE : DO NOT REPLACE THE .APK IF YOU DON'T GIVE PERMISSIONS FIRST OR ELSE YOU'LL HAVE BOOTLOOP .

Download ,the fixed desclock.apk , here ... http://www.mediafire.com/?n3h5gpaorob01e3

Replace it with the existing apk , in "system/app" and give permissions ( rw-r--r-- )

So you can try it until i finish the whole theming ...... :cool:

@radiactivetoy

You also know how to add any png image you like for background ... :cool:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] RadioactiveToy:
Everything is set! Thanks gkalenis. No more white menus!!! Now I will keep myself sliding up-sliding down the settings menu for a least 1 hour. I have missed it a lot haha :cyclops:

and by the way did you manage to do something about the red balloon with number in it at the notification area?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
As i told you , i heard that from two people , nobody else mention this .

Both of you flash this rom after downgrading , but there are a lot of people who downgrades and flashes this rom and nobody else told about this balloon on notification bar .

I don't know if you redo the froyo update if it's solve the problem.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gentjan:
I just test your black menu mod ...:thumbup:

Great work , we need that black menu desperately ... :beer:

So , when do you think you will be ready to release a new version ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
I hope tomorrow or the day after .

Horse Themed Series will begin ... :cool:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] panpet89:
Yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!

Waiting for new one :D

Btw , i test all roms here and i want to say you that this is the most stable rom .

So don't bother with other threads , let people do as they like and keep on with your great work here :)

Regards
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kryeziu:
+1 !!!

I agree too,the most stables roms here in my opinion is

kalo's rom and Horse , but i prefer Horse because of Tvout and it's also faster with multitasking (my opinion).

What happened ?

Still not ready with new release ?

When do you think ,you will be ready ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kasneci:
We don't have developers and this is the best choice for a reliable phone.

Users trying to do the best for this phone but until now no rom like this :)

Kalo's also is good enough but i experience some problems and i reverse to Horse.

I'm waiting the black menu release to flash but where is gkalenis ? I thought it will release it until today but no link yet :(

Gkalenis where are you?

Tell us when you will be ready to release the new rom :)

@gkalenis

I really appreciate how you perfezionao froyo version is outstanding. For me it is the best job that I could see in this forum. My question is, why a good like you do not perfect the rom ics b928? ... ... ... ...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dingila:
Gkalenis never been updated phone.

Always been 2.2.2

So it is :)

It would be better if you do some work on other ROM's .. 2.3.5 or 4.0.4 He has potential.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] RadioactiveToy:
gkalenis hi again. With the new black menus, I found out that there is a bug. When I go to contacts and I use the search button to find a name, the results have thesame background and I cannot read the names. When I press one name then only the name is seen. Can you check it out please?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
I was busy last days guys ...

I hope until Christmas will be ready....:)

I cannot do something more for ics than Pika did , i can do easily a gb or an ics rom , but it'll be the same like Pika's or others , so you don't need another one same rom.

I don't like ics , i think it's too slow .

Gb is good but still slower than froyo and don't have tvout and i like it much.

For ics , just follow Pika .. :)

See the above reply to baggino.

I'm not a dev so i cannot do anything further , except some improvements and theming.

I'll make some mods on gb and ics if you like it....:)

Hahahahahaha ,,,, gooooood ... :)

I saw it my friend , i'll try to fix it , but maybe cannot be changed , i tried yesterday but with no luck , i try today again ....

It's not a big deal though you can enter contacts directly with search button ( google search ).

Probably because it's a primary text colour , to be visible i must change it to other colour like blue so it will be visible to black or to white background.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] baggino:
I'm with ics b928, can I go back to froyo directly or do I go first to GB and then froyo.

Thank you
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dingila:
Go first to GB and then froyo...then flash Horse...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Gb first , and then Froyo ....

I recommend to wait until tomorrow ...

Hoping i'll be ready to upload the new themed version with custom background menu late at night .

I'm sh##$ting my pants , i like the colours soooo much , great work , it's hard to understand that it's a froyo rom.

Congratulations :):):)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
This is a full rom zyzas .

Thanks , i also like black and blue colours .

But the next one will be with orange and green colours.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] panpet89:
Hi gkalenis , everything is perfect but i have a problem with camera.

Only green photos , video and panorama works great .

Missing the stock camera i think.

I have atmel screen and i used to take photos with stock camera and video and panorama with ics camera , but i can't find the stock camera in the rom.

Can i take the camera from your previous rom ?

Edit

I add stock camera from your previous rom ,with root explorer and everything is fine now :)

Great work ,once again :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jwol215:
I'm loving it, minus the stripes in the menus. Not sure what that's all about.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
You're right , i forgot it .....

I'll change the link later ...

Haha , you don't like it ... no problem i'll release a total black menu version in few hours.

But i like it , it's not so common .

If you like and you know the way you can easily add your custom .png (480x800) for background.

I was playing yesterday and i change also the text colour as you see on screenshots below.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jwol215:
How do I do this?

I'm still very new to this. I haven't had a smart phone that long so I don't know the ins and outs of this device.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
how "new" you are ?

do you know how to use root explorer ?

untill now you did well , you managed to flash Horse without asking for help or anything else.

anyway , download and flash this rom...

Hello there, I have a simple and maybe stupid question.

Is there an option/setting for this Horse ROM in English? I want to flash this but would easily get lost with the Greek.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
You will not see any Greek , unless you choose Greek lang.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dingila:
Hello Gkalenis!

You told me that you can work on other ROMs.

Can you look at this: http://d-h.st/lpX

This is a clean version from Shendu...here is a original link :http://www.shendu.com/android/rom-2295.html

Trying to put Oops, but nothing.

Stand still and do not let me go to Google Play.

Very nice and fast Rom is!

Thanks in advance!!! :good:

Here is all roms from shendu :http://www.shendu.com/android/rom-cid-382-page-2-order-time.html?ver=2.3
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
I'll have a look , though the problems probably will remain...

Did you try to install any other phonesky.apk (market) ,from another rom ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dingila:
I try to instal only GooglePlay3.apk...and from recovery gappslite fromGB...but nothing

Now I have Google Play but it no work.....gmail...passowrd....aaaaaand 5min...10min.....nothing :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Find the correct gapps , for your version not for gb .
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jwol215:
I've had this phone for a month now but I haven't really flashed anything until this past week. I've gone through some tutorials and several versions (GB Movida and vPure). Those were nice but I was looking for something that was supposedly more stable. The system looks good regardless.

I'm not really sure what rootexplorer is supposed to do other than browse the phone's and sdcard's memory.

Not sure how the battery is supposed to perform but browsing really eats up the battery. Supposedly it can run 400 minutes per recharge for talk time. Not sure how long for browsing. Any way to improve the length between recharges (other than turning the processing down and turning off wifi, data roaming)?

Also, maybe it's my provider but my speeds are awful like around 300kbps up and down. Any ideas on how to improve the speeds since supposedly my provider (Tmobile) is supposed to provide 4G and I believe the max for this phone should be fast enough to attain 4G speeds.

Going to try out the newly skinned horse with a working camera. Thank you for your help.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Well , you have a -51 .

Try it for 2-3 days and tell me how did you find it .

I think it's as stable as for -pro users.

It's also a very good rom for beginners .

Battery depending on usage , it's difficult to have 2 days battery if you are a heavy user ( heavy usage gives you a day ).

If you have it on your desk then battery last long.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] RadioactiveToy:
Yeah I prefer the first two screenshots. The others have glow green, I not my favorite but it is ok. I have to wait 2-3 weeks before I flash the new themed rom of yours because my screen has dust under it and I have to have it serviced first.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
This is exact the RGB colour of go keyboard green.

I also don't like the popup ...

I need some time to make it right , allready changed 2 .jar files , the 2 frameworks apks , and 6 system apps and still have more..... :cool:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] panpet89:
The black blue it's great :D

I wonder if you can do a release like Horsemageddon but with black background menu .

I like better Horsemageddon's theme :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] marjel88:
Hi gkalenis , you haven't add any benchmarks on screenshots lately.

You have a lot of time to show us benchmarks.

And when do you think you will be ready to release the green version?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Hmmmm , you're right .

Horsemageddon don't have black background , i will release it together with Black Green

version.

I need some time , maybe a week for the green one.....

I hate benchmarks , i can feel my phone without any benchmark.

Benchmarks sucks .... :thumbdown:

No benchmark solve bugs or make your phone faster and smoother.

Anyway as everybody likes the benchmarking :p i downloaded today quadrant and did a benchmark with cpu , on demand 600 min/1800 max.

This is my last benchmark here , if you like to have useless applications installed on your phone then you can easily post your scores ... :beer:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] jwol215:
So far it's ok. I lose service every now and then. Not sure if it's my service or the phone but right after I had a 28 minute call there was no service until I rebooted. Today, after I used the camera, no service until reboot.I should have decent reception being in NYC. The battery is better today. It's down to 62% from yesterday. Probably used less intensive webpages today.

I'll keep this for a week to see what goes on the service thing. Not crazy about missing calls.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
You have to test more roms , to find out , why you lost service .

Maybe you have to talk also with your operator.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Zyzas:
I wonder if it's possible to have only instal.zip for installing themes? It would be better than flashing whole rom.

Sent from my U8800PRO
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
I'll never make such a kind of .zip but i will try to do it .

You're right , it's much easier to flash theme.zip than whole rom , but it is not only the framework , it's about 12 files and apps and i have to find how to make such a zip.

I'll try it .... :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Moihack:
It's not hard. I send you a pm with an example ( I made the .zip for dingila yesterday). Glad this didn't go wasted!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
I found a "sample.zip" , from a thread in xda of course ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1721680 ) , and yes , it's easy , i test it lately to see how it works.

can some one help me to fix it?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dingila:
After flashing to big file (step2) 2.2.2 can stay on recovery ... wipe data ... wipe cashe and reboot system ...

Only the ,, Horse rom ...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] skipped:
I flashed the stock rom in the "back to froyo" zip, then installed your horse rom and now the rom is working great on u8800-51! but you have to restore your IMEI to get 3g to work.

Thanks and nice rom!

The only thing I dont like is so much trash apps..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
That's great ,,

I'm glad ,, because you make it work to U8800 51 ......

The rom will updated , and the new update ,, it won't have so many apps ,, it will be as light as possible ,, so everyone can customize this rom by itself ......

PS

This rom , is not cyanogen , miui , ics ,not even updated to gingerbread........

BUT , the big achievement of this rom is that been maded for people who wants , a stable , reliable and very fast rom without any bugs , to do their jobs without any problem ..

I hope you enjoy the ,, Horse riding ,, :)

BTW ,, what version did you use , the multilang or the greek/english ???
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] skipped:
I posted a guide of how to flash this to u8800-51, redirecting to your thread.. First, some days ago, I tried to flash multilang with CWM but get some error about "cant assert to boot.img" something like that.. but now i flashed greek version and works fine..

Btw, I also recommend you to check a universal android tweaks collection thread, so maybe you can add some to this rom.. they are about data speed, battery saving, touch responsiveness, etc..

Thanks man!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Good man !!

You did a good job , and now people with ,U8800 51 , can flash this rom ,under your guide....

The multilang rom has been updated , cause the first zip might been corrupted ,, so you can try to download it again and i got also a flashable theme .....

About the tweaks you said ,, if you see the first post , i explain that i have all the tweaks (init.d ,, and build.prop,, from knzo and more ) added in the rom , ,but i'm still testing them ....

So , flash the new multilang version to told us if its working ....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] skipped:
Right, I saw them, thank you.

I saw only two missing "tweaks":

Disable Screen Wake when volume keys are pressed.
Find: ro.config.hwfeature_wakeupkey=1 change to: ro.config.hwfeature_wakeupkey=0

When switching from WiFi to 3G you will receive a message saying something like "You May Be Charged" blah blah. To disable the mesage follow these instructions:
Look for "ro.config.hw_RemindWifiToPdp=true" and change to "ro.config.hw_RemindWifiToPdp=false".

There are also tweaks that I didnt see that are supposed to increase data connection:

ro.ril.enable.dtm=1
ro.ril.gprsclass=12
ro.ril.hep=1
ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=14
ro.ril.hsupa.category=6
ro.ril.hsxpa=5

And the last thing.. Is it possible to change the dialer "theme"? (the numbers buttons for example)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Well , for the tweaks , i'm still testing .....

For the 3g tweaks ,, i have some, on init.d folder , so it is not necessary to put others in build.prop ....

Then for the tweaks about disabling screen wake , and the other ,, you better ,edit the build.prop by yourself ,, cause i want it enabled ,,, its not a problem , you can make your own build.prop tweaks , and test it ....

And for the dialer , yes we can change the dialer but which one you prefer ....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Filatov.p:

The bootanimation , don't make boot slower ....

thank you, somehow i managed to get the official ics

dont know how but i did, lucky me

im just trying to find a rom that can be stable and fast for everyday use...i cant get this one that i tried

what should i do? what is a nice stable fast rom?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Τhe steps are:

From official ICS to official GB , flash only step 2 from an official GB.

From official GB to official FROYO , flash step1 and step2 from "back to froyo" package.

Stables roms for everyday use , ( according my opinion of course ) are:

Froyo:

Horse Rom, full functional rom, plus tvout.

GB:

1.Kalo's Rom , full functional rom , some users report only some problems with widgets and youtube apk , some others not.

2.Moihack's Kiss4droid , full functional rom , same problems with officials GB from Huawei.

That's all , if you want a full workable rom.

Otherwise , plenty of roms to use , others with no radio , others with other problems .

You can test them all easily and make your choise.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] binoj.6066:
I foolishly tried to return to froyo from ICS like direct ICS to froyo no GB in between. While flashing official froyo in Frozen pika it stuck. Now my phone is dead not even swiching on. What should I do. No pinkscreen no huawei logo. ??????????
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Nooooooooo.....

Probably phone is bricked , you must go to service with your warranty .

You made 2 mistakes.

1. From an ICS or GB or Froyo custom roms , you must firstly flash the official rom (ICS,GB or Froyo).

2. Then we flash official firmwares:

For upgrade ( Froyo-GB-ICS ).

For downgrade ( ICS-GB-Froyo ).

If you make a mistake on upgrade ( Froyo to ICS ) , your phone probably will be bricked.

Or if you did the same mistake with downgrading ( ICS to Froyo ) , then again your phone will be bricked.

I'm so sorry , but you need your warranty now .

If you were recently working with ICS ... try to flashnesh Step 2 from ICS without battery ...
