If it's something wrong with the binaries, are we screwed?

Seeing it happen on only some devices would make me assume it's probably related to the display, especially since it may concern poor synchronization. That, along with the digitizer models, seem to be the only flagrant hardware revisions between devices. I suppose it doesn't help that it uses a non-standard refresh rate, too.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] enteomega:
Hi ,i posted in other place in forum but i ask here in the thread of the ROM i used.

Any can tell me witch files have in to the /etc/wiffi because i have only wpa_supplicant.conf and i need too the file nvram. Any can share the file or say where is file with wifi mac adress.

Android version: 4.2.2 (Cyanogenmod 10.1)

Blefish Congrats for the great work and the first release :) Atlast our Cousins the U8800 users get a new Source to play with :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
It seems I accidentally broke it up while doing some changes. Thanks for reporting it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
So, which gapps need to install? can you provide a link? The link on 1st post is for gapps-jb-20130812-signed
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
That's the one to install. Notice the 20130812 vs 20130813.

Check this for details.

It's such a touching moment after all this time waiting and following you step by step! Thank you for your patience and devotion.

I think now is our turn to show you our respect by donating you what anyone can afford!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] faekplastik3s:
Pretty damn good. It's a shame it's not smooth, and that vsync isn't working (along with the other display glitches) , but the functionality more than makes up for it:

* Audio sounds amazing on the speaker

* The new touchscreen driver is great and super responsive (it also finally solves issues that the crappy huawei driver had, like registering a button press even if you were already touching the screen and accidentally swiped down, lockscreen lag seems to have gone away, also this **** doesn't happen anymore as far as I can tell, too!)

* I get a GPS lock even inside, even after clearing AGPS data, which never happened in past ROMs/kernels

* Device settings are a great addition!

Some issues I experienced that weren't listed:

* Proximity driver sometimes bugs out during calls, turning the screen off but never on (the buttons light up, though) and still allowing touches

* Battery usage data is never available

* Something seems to be running on the background, but I haven't found a culprit yet, as the phone seems to get hot very easily (considering it's at stock frequency, and this is a clean install)

* Call volume is somewhat quiet even at max

* Sound sometimes stutters, especially during initialization (first sound event) or after sleep. I assume it's just LPA doing it's thing

Overall without a doubt one of the best kernels for this device and great for a first release. Thanks, Blefish!

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rqmok:
Yes, the problems are mainly in the kernel, since it is a new kernel for our phone.

I am preparing 3.4 kernel as well, so I might re-open my CM10 ROM with that kernel.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rqmok:
As far as I can remember, you need to update your recovery to version 6.0.2.8.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Yes, I will implement it.

I installed it with a 6.x recovery, what recovery are you on right now?

This is not important right now. Besides there are so much apps which do the same or similar thing.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] forumber2:
Flashlight is controlling by (ROM's) camera driver and this ROM doesn't have camera driver, so you can't turn on the flashlight

[MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION]

Hi there, want to ask you something. Is there a way to access the data partion(downloads folder) within recovery 5.5.0.4 ? Im asking this because i use yours partition scheme and the recovery cant mount your data partition. Can you please look at this? Maybe a syslink or something may work, but i cant do it by myself, because i dont know how to code.

Thanks in advance
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Did you install the experimental partition scheme? If so, didn't it install new recovery that would be compatible with it?

5.5.0.4 is not supporting the /data/media emulation. Though, next version has the scheme as stock.

4.4 seems to have all time fuse (emulated) storages, even sd card goes through it. That means in theory the external should be possible to set as primary, but we'll see.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ax1qwer:
Hi Blefish, How did you decide?

Move to 4.4, or stay on 4.2.2 ? :)

Thanks for reply.

Sorry for my bad English.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] season 8:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] alexmbra:
I just tried this room. So far so good. The only thing missing is camera. So, maybe this will become my new rom....

Thanks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] avi062:
Are you sure? What about battery? I had lot of reboot because of unstable battery stat. I think major problem should be battery not camera.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Ax1qwer:
https://twitter.com/rtammekivi
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] BS_1963:
I agree with that, If camera included than more people use for Daily. So we get more feedbacks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Battery stats are improved in the next release, and camera will be implemented, as far as taking pictures. I only have S5K4E1GX sensor, but it shouldn't be a big problem to add OV5647 too.

I implemented it to provide "direct" capacity in suspend state, and "relative" in display on state. Relative capacity drops or rises as measurements are made, but the stable capacity is not allowed to rise/drop when not charging/charging. Also, stable capacity drops only by one per minute. Seems to work roughly pretty good, no non-linear mapping still though, so it drops to about 70 pretty quickly, and from 30 below it should drop faster too. Charging needs additional mapping, that's not implemented yet too.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] AceDroidX:
Hey blefish!

Can we expect the new update during this week? I can't wait to test your ROM once u implement the camera. :rolleyes:

Hi Guys,

Anyone have any idea how to fix the issue with the car Bluetooth music controls not working?

I would like to be able to skip songs, etc via the car radio.

Kind regards
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Djuganight:
easy, flash a rom with fully functional BT.

Aurora, MIUI, etc.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Possibly next week. I have to tidy it all up, see if video recording can be implemented too, and add OV5647 (only needs kernel driver).

I think it's not supported entirely on Android 4.2 (due to new BT stack). Check this link, seems to me like it is supported from 4.4 onwards so when I will change base, it should be working automatically.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] faekplastik3s:
Still no progress with the graphical bugs, I take it? It's a damn shame, I hope you eventually figure it out, the phone really is unusable for some of us otherwise.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
The next release features a "glitchy" C2D. Currently, c2d, dyn, or gpu did not make any difference at all (always gpu), but in the next release, it will make a difference, so we'll be able to see if behaviour changes.

I'm pretty sure myself that some sync mechanism is not working. Android uses fence sync now, I don't undestand it quite well yet.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] JoseRebelo:
Finally had the chance to use this rom as my primary, and besides the camera it's working pretty well.

I don't have any display glitches, everything runs smoothly. Still can't comment on battery life, but the battery percentage is indeed a bit unstable.

I've had a reboot while disabling USB OTG, and sometimes the mouse I connected to the phone gets weird and jumpy, sometimes doesn't connect at all. Any useful logs I can provide?

Also, you can't use the big speaker in calls, and there is no wifi tethering. I can connect to internet through my tablet's bluetooth tethering, but bluetooth tethering on my phone isn't working, I can't do the opposite.

Apart from this, it's an awesome rom, can't wait for the camera to be implemented :laugh:

New version available this week?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] AceDroidX:
Yes, but without flash and video recording.

Sent from my U8800
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Coming today (rebuilding right now).

Flash is theoretically working, but it crashes the whole phone right now, so I am strongly suggesting to disable it as the first step. Video recording will not work as long as hardware video decoder/encoder is not working. Hence the stuttery HD video playback, hardware decoder is not working right now.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
New release up, enjoy!

I'm suggesting to wipe data before updating, because if there is some data on internal SD, it will no longer be accessible, but it's not deleted either.

If updating without wipe, make sure to clean internal SD (if on this ROM) before. To get camera icon in the launcher, clear Gallery app data & reboot if necessary.

First thing after booting up, disable flash. Flash is "working", but it will crash the phone.

Battery capacity is improved, but note when charging, capacity may rise very slowly at the beginning.

If graphical bugs are present, change build.prop file accordingly, reboot & report:

debug.composition.type=gpu

to

debug.composition.type=c2d
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] goutham_krishna:
Hi Blefish,

Has the phone not waking up during calls bug is fixed? Also has anyone successful in using SPIRIT for FM, i tried but its not working.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
It depends partly on whether the Synaptics lockup problem is fixed. Also, sometimes the screen does not turn on, so it may be related. I've had the button leds turn on, but the screen not, so it depends. Synaptics is also a bit darker, so I may need to readjust the thresholds.

I did not try Spirit FM myself, but there's a good chance it is not working. I did not enable any of the FM components. I was working on a complete solution by Sony, but I didn't manage to receive any audio. Will see about it in the future.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] season 8:
thank you!

Can you add Mookee's settings in this ROM, [MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION]?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] faekplastik3s:
Graphical bugs still there. It seemed to have gotten better (at least things seemed to be stuck for less time and the boot animation looked smoother) but as soon as I flashed the Gapps and entered my account information I could see the screen getting stuck until I pressed it again with almost every character I entered. It was also extremely noticeable in the camera preview, as at any time that the camera didn't keep a steady framerate (usually scenes with high exposure) you could see tearing and dropped frames accumulating on the screen, first at the top and then lower and lower as it gets worse. You can still see half-drawn selection highlights and stuff at times, which was there before as well.

Switching to c2d causes half of the screen to glitch as usual but also flicker multiple times per second during the boot animation. Once booted up, everything seems fine until you pull on the notification bar - the transparent overlay flickers constantly and garbage appears on the screen at random. Same glitches as gpu happen when entering text, too :(

EDIT: Also, I can tell that v-sync is not working, or at least not working properly: I can see tearing in the upper part of the screen on some occasions.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] season 8:

[MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION] Can't install latest release, I'm getting "Installation aborted (Status 7) set_perm: some changes failed". Is it because I'm using your Blepart? Help please!

EDIT: I used an older zip and substituted system, boot.img and installed but right on first boot TS doesn't work.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ggunzio:
you need to install the stock partition layout before install the new update. from now on, you can stay at stock partition, because blefish will release all the new updates based on that.

tried to install the last release with stock partition and is a NO GO!!

error 7, with recovery 5504

[MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION], what is going wrong? maybe we need more space at system?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] valoura66:
You have to install forumber partition frist for more space on your system partition.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ggunzio:
i guess last update was based in stock partition like says in the OP
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
I wasn't clear enough, you still need forumbers table first. I noted ts not working, will provide update tomorrow for the fix.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ggunzio:
after flashed your blepart stock, can't get to install the forumber partition layout, can you help me?

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ggunzio:
[MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION]

is there a way to release this rom with the stock partition layout? i can't install forumber partition, and need the stock one, because i need to have a SD Card inserted.

can you achieve this, or can you explain me, what apps can i delete, to make rom fit in stock system?

Thank You
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Disrupthor:
I will use the method I said before to test that or will you make a zip compatible with blepart? I like much more having your blepart because I don't need the internal SD and it comes pretty handy the 2.5GB for apps.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
I don't think it's possible to do so. You could try removing some smaller apps like Sound Recorder, but I doubt it will fit. The size is increasing with every Android version, so it's almost impossible to do so.

Basically, you can install the latest version when you have BlePart_1 installed, except you won't have the emulated data storage (for media/downloads). I'm currently on BlePart_1 myself, but I readded the media partition (internal SD) to test whether it works or not.

I'm still thinking on how I should handle this. In KitKat, everything goes through fuse daemon (currently only /datamedia emulation is done through it), so it might be able to fix it in KitKat (set external SD as primary while retaining /datamedia), we'll see.

Since last release broke Synaptics, I will attempt to do one last change on the new driver, if it fails, I will either try to find a new driver or forward port the Huawei's (which I hate).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pipoawas:
Something that I still don't quite get it is the whole issue this rom has with the partition /system, /data and sdcard; can someone explain it to me? It doesn't have to be you Blefish, you're already too busy with this rom.

Currently I have Coldblue's rom, and the internal memory chip (from which those 2GB belong) is allocated in generous amounts to /data, /system, and the remaining ~1,2GB as an internal SDcard. I also have an independent external SDcard.

How is this rom storage mapping different?

Thanks for any reply
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] enteomega:
thanks for tell me , but i need 1st the file of mac to change the number of my base mac adress of phone :(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] HeggyChan:
love your good job!!! :victory:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Right now, it's same as it used to be in any other ROM. In previous releases, /data was used for both apps, and media (like internal SD), which eliminated the need for a new partition. It also gave the ability to use the space how you wanted - for mostly apps or media, your choice, no repartition was needed). But due to not being able to set external sd as primary, I reverted it to use the same layout as stock. You just need the modified partition sizes that expand /system (aka from forumber or other devs).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pipoawas:
Ok, got it, thanks Blefish :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ochentay4:

Have you tried following the instructions given in this post? It worked for me, at least.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] JoseRebelo:
I've found a problem in 20131027, not sure if it is presented in the latest. I had an alarm clock set to 7:00, but it was past 7:10 and it hadn't rang yet. When I woke up the phone, the widget on the lock screen updates from 6:58 to 7:13 and it started ringing.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
I noticed this too (once), I'm not sure what caused this to happen. It does not happen all the time (I've had this once in the 2 months of daily using this ROM).

Could be some kind of race condition in the kernel driver (I will check it).

I will provide update image today (as boot.img) that will attempts Synaptics fixes and display.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] faekplastik3s:
I've seen this happen in other ROMS as well, I've never missed an alarm (but then again, I don't use it as much these days) but have seen the clock widget update only after unlocking, or having a different time from the notification bar clock on occasion.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
I wonder if it sets the wrong timezone sometimes, no idea though.

I uploaded the experimental boot.img, reducing fps to 46 and hopefully fixing Synaptics bugs. This is not an automatically installable image, it's just a regular boot.img, I only suggest applying this if you know how. It also introduces even more improved battery driver, but it's not being reported to Android just yet (only in kernel logs).

EDIT:

Apparently no changes at all :/
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] JoseRebelo:
Couldn't it be that the cpu is in deep sleep and whatever service runs the alarm isn't running as it should? (unsure if saying something possible or just stupid :D)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] faekplastik3s:
FPS average at 43 here, display bugs still there.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
It is possible, but since the time is wrong, I'd say the alarm is given correctly, but the clock never reaches the step where it should trigger the interrupt. It's run through RPC (communication with modem).

Thank you for testing. Since this did not solve it still (the increased fps had some panel registers changed), as a last clue I will try getting it to work directly via DMA_S pipe (as said it currently goes through overlay processor and then back to surface, then dma_s). I don't think proprietary libraries have this problem, because for example, Galaxy S3 uses Adreno 225, with the same blobs as us, and their kernel KGSL drivers are nearly identical (same branch). I can only think it's the MDP overlay processor right now.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] chaokai123:
Synaptics bugs still exist.As same as the last version.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] JoseRebelo:
I think I just had another deep sleep problem. The phone was on, screen off. My colleague called me twice at 19:30, but the phone didn't ring. At 21:00 I wake the phone and receive a message from the operator warning me of those calls. I was pretty much unreachable during that time. Any logs that can help debug this if it happens again?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
The device itself should at least wake up once per 10 minutes, updating the battery status though. But since this all goes through RPC, I could think there might be some kind of problem there.

You can send me the "dmesg" log if this happens.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Thanks a lot. I will merge it in the newer media-caf HAL U8800 is using.

It appears I had not got the ebi0_size added. I will do it, however, do make sure if the ION heap for audio is not allocating it too (as it is right now).
