It's also possible that the memory clear function is killing the keyboard app and therefore switching to the system keyboard now and again. To disable the killing, add the keyboard to the 'Clear memory whit list' by long pressing the brush button in the notification screen...

Some apps will always force close in LeWa OS, like IMDb for example. Or while using 'long press' in certain apps. I didn't have this problem in other ROMs. Do more people have this problem? And does anybody know how to fix this? I already tried fixing permissions...

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Krizzii:
I flashed it over an older version of LeWa OS which had Google Play already, so don't know if it's included in this version. Think not.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] chaoscreater:
it seems there's an even newer version out already, the version date is 12.10.26:

http://bbs.lewaos.com/thread-83018-1-1.html
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Krizzii:
That's tomorrows version I think. Can't find a download link yet.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] chaoscreater:
ya it seems the download link hasn't been updated yet.

By the way, I've never flashed Lewa OS before, in fact I don't even own a Huawei U8800. I've only just purchased one recently and still waiting for the delivery to arrive.

So I was wondering how would you flash this rom? Just like any other typical roms where you go into the recovery and flash it from there? Because I did some quick read (I can read Chinese) at the flashing instruction guide on that Lewa website, and it seems you can either flash it through recovery or through a program??

And speaking of flashing through the recovery, can we use the CWM recovery posted here at XDA, or do we HAVE to use the recovery posted on that Lewa website? I'm referring to this link here:

http://bbs.lewaos.com/learn-u8800.html

Lastly, do we have to be using the stock kernel or on a particular official rom version to flash to Lewa OS? I'm asking this because the Huawei U8800 I bought is a 2nd hand one and already has MIUI installed on it. I'm not sure what kernel is installed on it but I'm assuming it's a custom kernel. Could I simply flash Lewa OS then?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Krizzii:
Yes, you can flash LeWa OS like any other ROM posted in the U8800 xda threads. The same applies to CWM recoveries: just follow these steps if you have a gingerbread ROM pre-installed (otherwise you have to upgrade your phone to gingerbread).

If you have a .35 kernel ROM and the appropriate CWM recovery, then you can simply flash LeWa OS! Good luck and welcome to the group :).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] chaoscreater:
great!

One last question regarding the recovery, I'm assuming that the phone I bought already has CWM v5.5.0.4 installed, but I might upgrade it to v6.0.1.0 because it's touch-based and obviously is newer so would have newer features.

So my question is, would that recovery work with flashing Lewa OS, or any other custom roms? Because I read somewhere that certain versions of recoveries use different methods of creating the nandroid backups or images so restoring them from a different recovery may not work.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Krizzii:
I don't think it's necessary to upgrade to a newer recovery. I use it only to flash ROM's and I don't think other versions do it "better". I'm recommending to stick with just one stable version, but it's up to you.

5.0.2.7 or 5.5.0.4 are a good choice to flash any ROM with Android 2.3+ (I haven't tested version 6).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] chaoscreater:
Great, thanks for your help!

Oh I forgot to ask the most important question........how stable is Lewa OS compared to the other custom roms? Is it more stable or faster?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Krizzii:
It's quite stable and smooth. You don't even have to overclock the kernel: the default setting (800 MHz) is good enough for normal use. I especially like the bettery performance with LeWa OS. The best for my phone (I have tried almost every .35-ROM). Only problem I have are the force closes of certain apps, don't know why this happens. Oh, and the launcher is not really to my liking. I recommend Holo Launcher: fast and simple.

Bear in mind that you may have an other experience, because every U8800 has its own behaviour... :p

I never had the issue of Chinese characters in some apps. Maybe because I use MoreLocale 2. I recommend you to try this app, set a custom locale and use English as language in combination with your own country. Maybe this resolves your issue (after a reboot).

I am wanting to give my wife my evo 4G, we are both on boost already and my evo has already been converted to work on boost. What I want to know is can I just go online and put in the ESN number that is on my boost acount and it will automatically work or will I also have to go into the phone and change the number over, I already have my msl # but I don't know what I would have to change if I did have to change anything. Can it be that easy since my phone has already been flashed for boost and also rooted or would I be better off just buying her another evo ?

Unless someone has a better or faster way, I found it easier to just flash your old phone with the info from the phone on her acct now then just put your info into the 3D once you have it. I tried helping a friend swap numbers on a white Evo and black Evo (both on boost) since his wife wanted to trade. I tried to swap the boost phones on each acct first (Unfortunately it gives you new AAA keys when you switch accts) and found it easier to just swap the acct info on each Evo (Hope that makes sense to you, if not shoot me a PM and I would be glad to help.)

Can someone suggest best antivirus for ICS?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
None. Antivirus software for Android = a scam to make the antivirus vendors money.

Just read reviews for apps before installing them from the Market. Malware is usually pretty obvious. :)

Norton,avast,dr.web they were tested by some big world company wich test antiviruses so type at google best android's antivirus
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] emuX:
Not really true. If you are tech savvy enough to be sure you don't have anything with malware then best of luck to you. You are well respected on this forum so I'm sure you'll be fine.

I'm technically minded and a software programmer by trade but I couldn't be sure that any app on the market is safe without fully reverse engineering it (which I'm not eating my time attempting) and even then some sneaky developer could push something dodgy out in an update so I'd have to check them too.

Also checking apps doesn't protect you from dodgy messages, emails, etc.

So, I have AVG on all my Android devices just in case. It uses very little resources and has caught a couple of suspect things over the last 6 months since I moved to 'Droid!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] foxmeister:
It's not about needing to reverse engineer code!

It's more about paying attention to the permissions that the app requests when you go to install it and deciding if they are appropriate.

For example, an app that just makes farting noises almost certainly doesn't need access to your contacts, and services that cost you money.

Some people think that an Android antivirus program will protect them against such threats, and they will if the application has been "blacklisted". However, most of these programs rely on blacklists, so until a particular application is flagged as malware, you are still at risk!

The moral of the story is, nothing beats eternal vigilance! :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] devwithzachary:
And neither will these 'antivirus' software help if a developer slips something in, the truth is the best thing you can do it check comments malware is far less a problem on android then Windows, these companys simply try to sell you this software as so many people are used to needing it on windows they think android is the same.

All the apps do is detect known 'black listed' apps which are either not going to be on the market or have bad comments already.

While the main reason for these apps is pointless I will say some of the extra features are quite useful including device tracking etc.

However I would never buy one of these apps for sure

Better that than having all my account details hacked because some dodgy app is snooping.

Responding to the others who replied to me...

If you choose a reputable AV company like AVG or Norton you should be safe.

And, you can't tell much from the permissions. Yes, if the app asks for access to your contacts and phone identity then you could just not install it, but what if it was an alternative dialer that was ad supported? - then it would need internet access and permissions to read your phone details (like Go Dialer) and then you are stuffed.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] foxmeister:
To use your analogy, your "antivirus" app is like a bouncer on your front door. If a known threat pitches up and wants to come in, the bouncer will stop them, but for new and unknown threats, he'll happily wave them through.

Given that reputable app stores like Google Play or Amazon are quick to remove known threats, all you've done is bought yourself a false sense of security! Good luck with that!

Dude...calling it a flat out scam (especially since its free and ad-free) is not right. If one uses their phone as a "USB Drive" type thing in Offices etc then in that case AV's can detect PC based malware/trojans etc.

It is unnecessary to run an AV RealTime, but to have it to manually scan is a + for a certain group of users. Torrent scanning is a good thing too.
