You can do a lot of things except battery % .
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dingila:
Look

With GB or ICS I dictate my SMS, do not write them

I use Smart Keyboard

But something is happening now
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
I don't understand ....

Send me a p.m. in greek , i cannot understand what you wanna do .:confused:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Ok , i understand now.

You need , voice search apk , (you can install it from market ) , for activate voice commands.

anyone with HORSE GB FINAL V1 EUROPE ?

what about it? i would like any opinions from developer and users. bug?

thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Why don't you try Horsemageddon final , it's the latest release and the best of all releases.

Bugs : What is this .... :cool:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] us_jim:
do you think is better to stay on froyo based rom or gb? your opinion for this device

i tried ics but... no good!

i never tried froyo because when i bought this huawei i upgraded immediately to gb stock!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
This is a personal choise .

I , choose to stay with froyo cause it's bugless and i never had problems .

You , decided to update immediately to GB and then to ICS , that's why i told that it's a personal matter.

All i have to say to you my friend is that Horsemageddon is a fast and stable rom for everyday use without any bugs , plus tvout function .

Disadvantages for some users are , that this is a froyo based rom and you cannot flash any other rom without upgrade to GB or ICS ( for me of course it's not a disadvantage cause i like my phone to work properly without bugs ).

So , as it's a personal matter i can't tell you what to do , just do as you like ... ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] us_jim:
ok thanks! i'm going to try your horsemageddon! :)

ah only one thing at the end of the first post you give 2 link

VERSIONS FOR DOWNGRADE TO FROYO

the version in this package is , B025

http://www.mediafire.com/?qr2a66qwmhvqqun

and the version here , step 2 ( from Mariosbbs )

http://www.mediafire.com/?883cqyggibpy9gm

is the , B026

well, which one i have to use to downgrade from GB?

i found in the first link all that i need to downgrade and after recovery i flash your rom.

what's that 2 link?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Use only the first link , It's the full package .

The second link it's only step 2 , you're not gonna need it .

Good luck ....

NOTE

If you are on ics , you have to downgrade to gb first , by using a step 2 from any official gb rom.

Then for downgrade to froyo , you need the two steps which are inside the downgrade to froyo package ( first link ) .
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] us_jim:
i have a problem with the notification bar.

when i receive a message or when i'm downloading app from the market i can't see any icon in the notification bar... only in landscape i can see icons in the middle of the bar!

what's the problem?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
You have a very big carrier name .

Go to page 44 , download and flash the New Theme and you will understand.

At the same page (44) , look at friend's pelli80 post which gives a link on how did he manage to rename his carrier name .

Also zyzas gives a solution with a market application ( same page , first post ).

Or else , tell me your carrier name to do it for you.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] 26decem:
i'm on ics based rom...

so i have to be on official GB before downgrading to Froyo?

am i right?

Thanks! :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Yes ... ICS - GB - Froyo.

Or ... Froyo - GB - ICS

You must not pass GB on both methods.

The only difference is that for downgrading from ICS to GB you need only step2 for an official GB.

And for upgrading from Froyo to GB you need step1 and 2 and occasionally step3 .
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] 26decem:
i pressed 3 buttons(+/-/power) but always end up with pink screen :(

any suggestion?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
What exactly did you done until now ?

With which way did you upgrade to ics ?

If you were with a custom ics rom , install a step2 of an official ics rom or restore (if you have) a cwm backup of an official ics ( to reverse to official ics first ) , and then go for GB .
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] 26decem:
i already installed the special package in the folder you provided(1.11 mb)..

and for the main package(255 mb) i cann't do it coz it ended up with pink screen all the time..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
You followed the correct line until now ( ics-gb-froyo ) ?

Is the dload folder in your sd card ?

Did you try it without battery ?

Try to release your hands from 3 buttons quicker ..

Hold the 3 buttons , insert usb cable and release them quickly
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dingila:
Remove the battery and make the same steps only whit the USB cable...ok

If you enable error after flash and stayed in stock Rekovery ... wipe data ... wipe cashe

Reboot ... this is
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] 26decem:
i did it!!!

thank you gkalenis!!!

(using inserting method) :D

Flash also the new theme on page 44 .... :cool:

:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] 26decem:
yeah! i already love your rom now,,, unbelieveably smooth :D

but one problem. i can't flash themes. cwm gave me an error :(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
You can flash only the theme on page 44 ....

This is a froyo rom you cannot flash any other theme .
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] 26decem:
yeah its your theme on p.44 that i flashed via cwm 6.0.1.5

error
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
You must have 5.0.2.7 recovery to install this theme or you can take the framework-res.apk inside the zip and paste it to system , then give permissions ( rw-r--r-- ) , then move it to framework and replace it .reboot and done.

The path is "system/framework" , but you have to give permissions inside "system" , to avoid bootloop .
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] 26decem:
could you please give me the link for 5.0.2.7 :)

i didn't back it up...

How can I change SMS smiles to stock froyo? I really like small droids :) Stock lock screen also would be appreciated.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Stock Lockscreen theme

Flash this zip from recovery for change lockscreen to stock ... http://www.mediafire.com/?15tq35nndl5bn15

Mms.apk

Download this Mms.apk ... http://www.mediafire.com/?ak60g3zc9x0l5v2 ... for change smilies with stock

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

I suggest you to paste it to "system" first , give permissions and then move it to "app" and replace

Maybe you have to reboot your phone but i'm not sure ...:o
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Zyzas:
Thank you! I love support of this ROM :)

---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 PM ----------

Regarding lockscreen - only unlock/silent icons changed and these now looks pathetic :D Yours was way better. Actually I wanted stock charging and alarm icons, but they didn't changed after flshing zip only unlock/silent.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Oh, i think that you wanted only the sliders to change .

No problem to change any lockscreen icon you want .

I make a zip , but late at night cause i'm at work now ... if you want any other icon to change , let me know.

For support of this rom.

I can't do something more for this rom , except theming from now on .

I will release a new themed version (Black & Blue)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Zyzas:
As everything works fine, themes is only thing we need :)

Thank you a lot. Please keep current sliders and stock icons. I feel nostalgy for froyo charging cable :) Your job is very appreciated

Sent from my U8800PRO
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
That's right , as everything's working fine , i did some theming.

Unfortunately all applications i try to decompile gives errors ( maybe something going on with Huawei signing apps ) , only framework-res.apk decompiled and recompiled without errors , at least i can do more things with framework .

In applications i can change all png's icons but i cannot change xml's , but with framework i can do almost everything.

Anyway i will provide screenshots to see what i change.

Very nice. Thank you!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gentjan:
I'm tired of flashing halfworking roms here and i decide to reverse back to a full working stable rom and this is HORSEMAGEDDON .

Thanks gkalenis for your work so far and i'm waiting your new release as i saw your screenshots...:)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dingila:
HorseForcePowerRom ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Zyzas:
Comunity is waiting for new themes! :)

Btw, I experienced some lag after using for a while, so I have to kill running processes from time to time and it's smooth again. Am I the only one? I wonder what could help and what's causing it. Launcher maybe? I'm using GO launcher.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
New themed Black & Blue version will be released on next 2-3 days.

Except theming , added also a new modded framework.jar to achieve best sound quality for handsfree , Bluetooth headset , by increasing volume steps from 15 to 30.

For lagging , it's normal to have some lags if you have a lot of running processes in background.

Try to use ram manager application , which has the ability to manage Ram usage even if you run a lot of apps in the background.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Somcom3X:
Does gingerbread have tv-out?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
If someone could compile Settings.apk , i think that gb and ics can have Tvout .
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Somcom3X:
I'll try to find out.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
At least if someone decompile froyo Settings.apk , he'll understand what i mean ...

My problem is recompiling , that's why i cannot test if it'll work.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Somcom3X:
What value do I edit?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
I think no need editing .

In res/smali i have a "tvout" folder which has inside some smali files , so i wonder if i can add that folder to GB Settings.apk and recompiling to test if it will work or not .

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] marjel88:
That's it man !!!

Downloading and flashing , haha great ....

This is , THE ROM !!!

Congrats !!!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dingila:
Bravo! Great job! :D :D :D :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :eek: :eek: :eek:

I just want to know can you do with a combination...I want to do screenshots...like Pika's Roms,,,,,vol down+power buton=screenshot :) ???!!!

Just ask?

This ROM is really quite good!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Somcom3X:
It saddens me that you got almost 400 posts and 35000 views but you got 19 thanks. I like it but it freezes my model.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
i'll have a look on it , but i think "screenshot it" is a very good app ( just hold search button ).

hahaha , good

let me explain to you , that i'm not sad at all because:

i don't care about ,posts , views , thanks , popularity , fighting or to compet with anyone ( if someday i want that then i will cook an ics or gb based rom ).

i register xda 1,5 + year , as a completely noob about android and started reading and learning a lot of things , thanks to xda's great community.

this rom was made for people who just want a full functional and stable rom for everyday use and nothing more.

this rom is not popular but will never hangs you .

so , Horse was made for users who don't want to flashing or testing roms , noobs and professionals who want to do their jobs and not playing with roms or updates and such a things.

this phone sells with froyo , with just two steps ( pink screen to change recovery.img and then flashing ) the above type of users having the ability to change their phones in 20 minutes.

for me the point is "don't look if you like it , look if it's working" , i don't want posts like , "this rom is the greatest , don't working this but i don't use it , FC when opening that but i don't care , blury photos but i don't take photos , youtube app crashes but i open it on browser , blablabla , anyway the greatest rom i ever used"

i could write a lot of things more but i don't want to wright anything else and i'll stop here ...:)

i will never feel sad for this rom , i'm feeling sad for huawei's support and the development of this great phone , but never for HORSE ROM.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Somcom3X:
maybe one day I could become like you. I hold the most u8800-51 roms and I Didnt create anything. Though, I try to help as much as I can. This is one of the best forums ever to be made for doing what we love. Customizing. though we all pay the risk of one day bricking but we have fun doing it in the long run.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
That's right , i agree .

Xda is most for people who want to customize , flashing and testing roms , but we have to respect also a small amount of users who just want a stable and fast rom for everyday use and nothing more.

Because of my job i knew a lot of people with android phones but untill now i found only one who knows about root,custom roms , etc... most of them just having their phones as they bought it and they don't even known about root and roms.

This forum helped also me , a lot .

Because of we don't have developers i read and learn even more for achieving to cook a custom rom and this thing make me happy , not the "thanks,posts,etc" , i'm happy of learning .

Unfortunately for having stable roms we need a dev to compile a good kernel .

Kernel is the big deal .
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Zyzas:
Can you please remind how can I make that search button would start search in google/contacts when I press it?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
If you flash the B&B Horsemageddon , then search button will work ...

I add google quick search box in last release and everything works fine ...

If you mean that ...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dingila:
I just want to say I am 100% sure on that in your old ROM's had a BETTER working camera!

For some time the camera is not good!

I say again I am sure!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Zyzas:
Yes I mean that, but I'd like to stay at curent theming. Is there an easy way to add quick search to my current ROM?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Camera works great , i didn't change anything.

I'm sorry but maybe is something left behind for other roms.

Everybody tolds me that camera working fine and better than stock ( people who flash this rom without downgrade or by downgrade ).

Try to , install google quick search from market , then move it from data/app to system/app .

Then close the phone , go to recovery , wipe cache , wipe dalvik cache and reboot .

If it still not working , i cook a rom with all other changes and i leave it with your current theme and i give you the link in few hours.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] panpet89:
I have to admit that is the most stable rom for u8800pro .

I lost my faith for a stable ics or jb .

Congratulations , we have a real working rom for our phones.

I'm happy for this rom too , no sad at all as you said , i agree with you.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Zyzas:
Worked like a charm. Thank you from the bottom of my heart :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
You welcome ... :)

I have to tell you also that the major change at Black&Blue version is the NEW modded framework.jar , which increasing volume steps from 15 to 30 .

This mod is for the best sound experience .

So , download this ... http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?vecgkoydh3jag91

You must replace it with existing "framework.jar" , in "system/framework" ....

But firstly copy it to "system" , give permissions ( rw-r--r-- ) , and then move it in "framework" and replace it.

Reboot your phone and wait 2-3 minutes to boot , because of rebuilding dalvik cache....

Enjoy ... :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dingila:
So what happens by replacing this file?

Now I'm use your last ROM.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
If you use the last rom , you're ok ..

This is for previous rom..

You will have the best sound experience , and mostly with hands free or bluetooth headset...

On B&B Horsemageddon it's ok.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dingila:
These two applications that can work?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Zyzas:
Thank you!

What about silent mode? Usualy when volume button is pressed down till the end, vibrate turns on, but after vibrate there should be silent mode (without vibro), but in horse it's missing. Any chance to get it back?

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Vplayer is not compatible with froyo in our device , as it says will add more devices on next updates.

It has a short list of compatible devices yet .

For xda app , this version is not compatible with froyo , you must download v2.0.1.

Well , i don't think that i can change this , cause maybe it's inside the kernel.

For true i didn't knew that , i'm using the right lockscreen slider for silent mode.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] baggino:
I wanted to try this rom and I find it very nice. I have a problem, when I go into recovery, misses the SD, then I have to take the battery out connect the phone with usb cable to the pc and then sees the SD. I think it's a problemai CWM, any suggestions? When you use this rom very often doesn't see the sd card. with other Roma then other CWM does not have this problem
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] baggino:
You can use another CWM to load froyo?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
I can't understand well , what is exactly your problem , because nobody mention problem with cwm 5.0.2.7 ever .

Did you downgrade to froyo first ?

Did you follow the correct procedure ?

It's strange because even if you accidentally flash this rom over gb or ics , still nobody mention any problem with cwm recovery.

You can also use cwm recovery 6.0.1.5 by Ivan ...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
FINALY , I DID IT ...

Βlack settings background menu is almost ready for 2.2 (after a lot of decompiles and recompiles , finaly found it ).

I'm checking if it's ok now ...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] baggino:
with cwm 5.0.2.7 where should I install from sd I do not see the SD. I tried as you suggested with cwm 6. ivan XX.x but freezes on the screen and does not go forward IDEOSE. now I Gb 521 but I want froyo
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Did you downgrade to froyo ?

You have to downgrade to froyo first ,,, as you said , you are with b521 gb .

Download the first package ( return to froyo ) , at first post .

After downgrading , i think that you will not have problems with cwm recovery.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] marjel88:
Great , at last we have black menu on froyo , thanks to you ... :)

When do you think that you'll upload this mod or rom ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Somcom3X:
I could have provided the settings.apk from stock.

Is it limited to black and white?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
I need some time , cause now i must do some changes to png's .

I'm sorry i can't understand well , what exactly do you mean .

If you mean about u8800-51 ,stock settings apk , i have to tell you that is not working with u8800 pro ( i test this many months ago ).

I was looking to settings , contacts , phone , framework-res to find how to change the background to black and finally it was inside framework-res_hwext.apk /res/values/styles.xml .....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Somcom3X:
Oh. That must drive you crazy.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] baggino:
I followed your directions and now everything is ok
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Oh yes , i've been looking for months to change the background to black and hopefully i found it in an .apk that i couldn't imagine that it was there.

But now i'm happy ... :)

Very good ... :)

As you follow the correct procedure you'll not have any problem.

I hope in few days i will be ready to release a new version with black background menu... :cool:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] RadioactiveToy:
this is great news gkalenis. can't wait to flash you new rom. i hate the white menu in froyo settings. is it going to be black the contacts menu also? :cyclops:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Zyzas:
Would be nice to have update zip instead of flashig whole rom, or thats too complicated?

Btw, what abaut other colors, are you planning more various themes like grey, gree&grey, black&orange etc etc :)

I understand this takes time and you dont get any benefit from what you do to us, I'm just asking :)

Sent from my U8800PRO
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
All menu backgrounds are black , settings,contacts,etc....

And i add a new .png file , that anyone can change the background with any image ( 480×800 ) he likes as background.

I send you a p.m. to our greek forum to test the new framework_res_hwext.apk

Well zyzas , i can do a lot of theming now , i can change almost everything in framework and i can do it with flashable zip.

Also others Horse Riders , asked me for other themes and colours and i have to tell you that i will support this rom with theming .

I'm happy of learning a lot of thinks in XDA community , i don't care of benefits right now , i just want to learn more ... so i want a little patience from all of you to release more themes with new colours.

@ gkalenis

two requests, if possible

1-have the apk personal calendar, as GB

2-delete volume button activation screen.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Zyzas:
I agree with first, but not with 2nd. You can do it manually. Just change 1 into 0 in buildprop line <<ro.config.hwfeature_wakeupkey=1>>
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
1. I don't know the app , personal calendar , maybe is not compatible with froyo.

2. Zyzas explains , how to disable vol keys perfectly ( i want it , that's why i don't disable it ).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gkalen:
Well , i found two problems .

First one with deskclock.apk and solved easily .

The second is more difficult , but fortunately it's not so serious ...

Take a look at screenshots ....

The problem with descklock and the fixed one.

And the second with history calls (when you press the expanded icon, it's white ),,, but i leave it for now as it is not so serious.

And the last two screenshots are for seeing how easily we can add our own background to our phones , by changing "my_drawable.png" from "res/drawable hdpi" folder with any 480×800 icon you like .... :cool:

I have to change some png's to framework-res , settings , contacts and phone apk too , to become more beautiful ... :cool:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] RadioactiveToy:
Ok gkalenis when you are ready send me the link for apk and will try it. It looks great so far.
