CM11 FM Radio application is excellent!

There's a default FM radio app on the latest CM11, dated 20150924:

[IMG="CM11 FM Radio"]http://i64.tinypic.com/rgy1pl.png[/IMG]

It's stylish and works like a charm, even better than the AURORA ICS 4.0.4's default FM Radio app!

* It has adjustable presets on the lower part of the screen. 4 of them can be seen at a time and swiping right or left shows the other 3 presets quickly. Yes, the max number of favourite presets is just 7 unfortunately! It should be more than 7, that's for sure!

But, if we make a full auto search, then we can press the hamburger button and choose the "all stations" option. Fortunately we can see the list of all the stations it found and registered, and choose any of them afterwards.

* It has RDS support, works good. (It also has AF option)

* It has Record option as well. Although the Radio is 2 channels, the recording seems Mono, so i guess the application records Mono always. The output file is created at the root of the SdCard with a file mask "FMRecordingxxxxxxxxx.aac". 1 minute of recording is approx. 1.15 MB. The details are as follows:

Format : AAC

Format/Info : Advanced Audio Codec

Bit rate mode : Constant

Bit rate : 156 Kbps

Channel(s) : 1 channel

Sampling rate : 48.0 KHz

Compression mode : Lossy

* Fast manual seeking is possible via the buttons next to the frequency indicator.

* "On/off" , "Mute" and "speaker/earphone" buttons on the main interface are very handy.

Note: I tried to install the ICS's Fm Radio app just to compare side by side, but couldn't manage. It seems it's only available for ICS.

Spirit FM works at least and doesn't make the phone reboot as before on GB. But it still has some major problems. The most annoying one is the high volume level which can't be adjusted. Messing with the settings may solve this, i don't know.

Anyway, the default app is good enough, no need for an extra FM app. :victory:

Mobile network seems to work on my u8800 with the latest CM11, dated 20150924 (both edge and 3G):

[IMG="CM11 Ideos X5 Mobil Veri"]http://i63.tinypic.com/sqp55w.jpg[/IMG]

I also checked the Mobile Hotspot, but unfortunately it seems that it's NOT working. The mobile devices give "limited connectivity" error and windows devices give "limited or no connectivity" error:

[IMG="Hotspot Hata"]http://i65.tinypic.com/16lh5hc.png[/IMG]

I placed my SIM once for a short time, just to check the mobile network abilities. Because i use my u8800 as a backup phone, generally for entertainment purposes.

Could you guys please check and confirm these issues?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
New cm-11.0 builds are up at Basketbuild, changelog at GitHub :)

This will probably be EOL release, but if there are major issues I will attempt another one. Next up, cm-12.1 builds.

https://basketbuild.com/devs/LegacyHuawei

https://github.com/LegacyHuawei/local_manifests/wiki/CM11.0-changelog
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] miskiab:
new cm 11 wont open.

installation takes less according to 12.1 and It does not boot. just a red flower logo on the screen.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mementoars:
I have the same problem
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] miskiab:
Have you ever changed the screen or touchpad?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mementoars:
No, I haven't. I don't think it's hardware related. Previous build (20150924) is booting fine .
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
It is definitely software related. If you know how, install cm11 and replace boot.img after with the one from attachment and let me know if it works.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mementoars:
It worked, thanks! BTW what was the problem?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
I wanted to improve the FPS calculation, but it seems all panels do not match the exact same refresh rate. So I had to change it back to 54fps.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] miskiab:
Ok, It was finally established and worked. thanks Blefish.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] opex_jr:
I installed the latest build, the fixed boot.img and the "pico" Open GApps package.

A couple of issues manifested:

the keyboard crashes when using gesture typing

every time I try to use Google Chrome the phone freezes and then reboots

CM 11 is definitely more performant than CM 12 though, the "Phone" app launches instantly, the apps installation and update process is like 20x faster.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Yes, ART seems to be optimized for multi-core devices. I haven't noticed Chrome crash myself, it's just slow. It could very well be running out of memory but not sure. The next cm-12.1 release should bring some performance improvements there too, but IMO kitkat is still the best for our device. cm-14.1 has not changed my opinion yet.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] miskiab:
Sometimes , i cant answer the phone with 2g. :( same old vers.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sir mordred:
hi

i'm working on ancora which has single core cpu like huawei u8800 too..

and yeah ART is optimized for multi-core CPUs default but we can still optimize it for single-core

see https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_build/commit/3da4f32794e00dbfb798feba69bb05b0a9e07b78
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Be-Mine:
I'm happy to see that there's a new CM11 version, thanks [MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION]. I still use the cm-11-20150924 version on my Ideos X5.

I tried to access the "Pink Screen" now on this previous version but couldn't manage. I tried to boot the bootloader from TWRP, from restart menu and by the traditional button way, no luck! Is it locked on CM11 versions or do i have some other problem?

If it's impossible to reach the pink screen also on the new release, then how will we change the boot.img, since the phone would not boot at first place? (Oh, got it, the only way is to change it from TWRP's file manager, i guess?)

Anyway, i want to make a full Raw backup of the phone and then update to the new release afterwards. But, to make a full Raw backup i have to reach the pink screen. How is it possible on CM11? :confused:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Pink screen should still be accessible, do you perhaps have it locked? There is a flashable zip that unlocks it.

However, I will probably do another release during christmas. I still need to do cm-12.1 release too.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Be-Mine:
Yep, seems that i locked it somehow unintentionally. I couldn't suppose locking it would be that easy though. :eek:

I want to flash the "update-B518-bootloader.zip" with CWM5.5.0.4 to get the pink screen back as you explained in the "[PATCH] Get back your PINK screen!" topic. But you told that:

"Apply only if you have upgraded your phone to B522 or newer. You may have a custom ROM on top, but the base has to be

B522 or newer

.

Tested by myself on B522, B526 & B528."

But my base Rom is the official B518 which is the latest Rom that has unlocked bootloader. I guess it should be OK to apply the patch on a B518 base, since it is the original one already, right?

(If it's risky, i have to install B518 or a newer official Rom from scratch, but this will ruin my every single object :confused:)

Edit:

One more critical question. I have "BlePart-22" partition layout. Do i have to return to stock partition layout before flashing the "update-B518-bootloader.zip" ?

If so, it's recommended to have unlocked bootloader. Hmm, things become more tricky for me.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Hmm, this is strange that it would be locked again. Since the zip does nothing else than just write B518 bootloader back in place, this *should* have zero effect. But then again, the bootloader should not be locked in that case. I really have no idea what to expect.

If you decide to reinstall official ROM, then if you have the LVM partition layout (Originally I made it reallocate partitions) then you can flash the blepart-stock one back, but in theory it should be ok to just flash the official zip. This is because the partitions are still same, LVM is a layer that merges them and it can be wiped.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Be-Mine:
Today, to get the pink screen back, i changed the TWRP to CWM5.5.0.4 and flashed the "update-B518-bootloader.zip" as explained in the "[PATCH] Get back your PINK screen!" topic.

But i still can't access the pink screen, the phone hangs on Huawei Logo with the red flower, as before. If i connect it to the PC, nothing happens and there are no partitions or folders. I tried with Vol+Vol-Power button way, and also within the Rom's Restart menu bootloader option, no luck. (But the phone works as normal, without any problem.)

Here's the phone's info to make it more clear:

Phone: Ideos X5 u8800

ROM: cm-11-20150924 (installed on base official B518)

PARTITION: BlePart [v2.2]

LVM: NO

Partition scheme Blepartv2.2 can't be the problem because i used Aurora with Blepartv2.2 before and the pink screen was accessable as normal. I had made a full Raw backup also, at that time.

So, what can be the problem that prevent me accessing the pink screen, although i flashed the B518-bootloader as well?

Is it possible that CM11 Rom changes the way to access the bootloader? Maybe the B518 bootloader is still there and unlocked, bu we can't access it with the conventional ways. :confused:

Can anybody confirm that pink screen works on CM11 on u8800, please? If so, in which release?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Maybe there's an issue with your volume up/down buttons? Because no matter whether the bootloader is locked or not, the "pink" screen still should be accessible.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] miskiab:
Pink screen working on CM11 on U8800.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Be-Mine:
Oh my goodness, you're right!

When i saw your comment that pink screen should be accessible whether it's locked or not, i tried again. But this time i pressed the volume buttons very hard. It's obvious that they became insensitive after years because i also use them to wake up the device.

I had tried 4-5 times before with the buttons, but now it's clear that i didn't press enough for the full 6 seconds. And it seems that within this 6 seconds period, one of the volume buttons lost connection with the conductive for a milisecond, most probably. Holding the power button for 6 seconds is too long in my opinion. In the official Huawei Roms, just tapping the power button was booting the device, and this was not good, as it was very possible to power on the device unintentionally. But 6 seconds is way too much. Is it possible to reduce the hold down time to 2-3 seconds, maybe?

Other than that, the most important thing that mislead me was the "reboot to bootlader" options in both TWRP recovery and the phone's restart menu. I thought these options are there for booting to pink screen, just as booting to recovery. But when i choose to boot the device to bootloader, the phone boots but hangs on Huawei logo with the red flower. At that time connecting the phone to PC does nothing. It's clear that this option doesn't boot to pink screen, then what is it for?

I'm sorry to ruin the topic for such extra details, sorry guys. :eek:

Thanks for the feedbacks, now i can take a full backup and update to the new release. :good:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
The "reboot to bootloader" boots into fastboot mode. It is useful for testing new boot.img/recovery.img, but in stock it does not print any debugging info and such. I actually made a proper "aboot" bootloader that boots the boot.img/recovery.img, can flash new images and shows debugging info on the screen. I made a video about it too, but it was never uploaded to public because there was still a remaining issue regarding charger detection and sometimes volume keys did not work properly.

I haven't found a "reboot to pink screen" mode, it might be possible though, via a custom modem command, but I never took the time to figure that out.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
New builds are up for testing. There *might* be an issue on U8800 with Wi-Fi, please let me know if it exists.

Changes:

*Compiled against LineageOS tree (does not mean anything changed)

*Made touch screen driver filter touch input. Should improve performance a bit

*Merged security patches for kernel
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] miskiab:
- In October vers. ,

sometimes, the wireless connection is disconnected by the computer even though there is a connection in the tethering process. It appears in the network on the computer, but it does not connect when the connection is called. When I want to turn the tethering on / off, the phone is restarting.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] miskiab:
hi again :)

Sometimes the device hangss when I turn the phone sideways while the camera is on.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
In the next version I will disable some background services and disable high-end gfx (on kitkat this only disables status bar transparency). This will reduce memory footprint in KitKat even more. Also, I will be making new version of LVM that removes internal SD partitions in favor of emulated storage (/data for both internal SD and app storage).

In other news, new TWRP and 14.1 are quite ready to be honest, but I still can't put myself together to make a release haha :/. BT is not stable and there are some minor issues left. I will also work on the linux-4.4 kernel a bit, it would be nice to boot Android but it isn't that far unfortunately. Recovery already works with it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Hey

I am preparing for a new CM-11.0 release. It will bring a couple of performance, as well as security enhancements.

I will be enforcing LVM configuration in the new release. I will also upload new TWRP and BlePart-LVM zips that use new scheme, where the internal storage is shared with /data.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] aleks.spv:
Thank you! That's cool! We wait!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Be-Mine:
Any news [MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION]?

I wonder about the probable performance improvements, indeed. :fingers-crossed:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
I will build the ROMs tonight and upload today/tomorrow. I will let you know. The biggest difference is that /data is used as internal storage as well, so I recommend using partitioning that has very small internal SD partition.

-EDIT-

There are some unexpected issues regarding boot.img handling, and since this will probably be EOL release, I won't be attempting to fix them. I will undo my changes related to storage and upload ASAP.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
I seem to not be able to access BasketBuild's FTP server anymore, so I will upload to AndroidFileHost.

U8800pro is experimental, I made a change to supposedly unlock the FPS, however it is untested. Let me know if there is an issue and I will upload a new build tomorrow.

You don't need any storage/TWRP changes, I personally tested over BlePart-LVM-11 and TWRP 2.8.7.0 which are also available at AFH.

U8800 is already live, U8800pro/U8860 will come sooner or later.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Be-Mine:
Good news, [MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION]! I downloaded the file already and will install it tonight, thanks again! :highfive:

(Will you revise the "CM11.0 changelog" on github or on the first page, that would be nice as well. :) )

I use the cm-11-20170106 which was upgraded on the base cm-11-20150924. I'm curious if it's better to upgrade once more, or install from scratch making all the wipes. What do you recommend? I guess there isn't any major change that will require a full wipe, but it seems that the phone isn't as stable and reboots more frequently on heavy usage, on the previous January version.

Here's my phone's info:

Phone: Ideos X5 u8800

Base ROM: cm-11-20150924 (installed on base official B518)

Current ROM: cm-11-20170106 (upgraded on cm-11-20161029)

PARTITION: BlePart [v2.2]

LVM: NO
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Moihack:
The FPS are still locked. Again they unlock fine with the init.d script.

I also noticed some strange sd-card getting removed issues that I did not have in your previous release. Maybe some side-effect from a possible unreverted storage change? I tried with 2 sd cards and both are working fine as I use them everyday on other devices.

Finally I think charging in airplane mode works now! Cheers for fixing that! (I am with no sim card attached but airplane mode turned on and the battery percentage goes higher with time - the phone is plugged on a computer just with a USB cable).

Thanks for this new release. The only problem is sd-card for me.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] miskiab:
Thanks Blefish,

i see only airplane mode charge is runing, and new boot logo.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
I have no idea why it would charge now :/, not sure. As far as I know this bug has existed since 3.0 kernel.

The boot logo is from lineage-14.1, they rebranded cm11 partially so you get the same logo.

There are a few changes regarding memory usage.

As far as sd-card getting removed, I have not done any kernel changes which could affect that. It might be possible that it has always been misconfigured.

If needed, I can make a new boot.img that adjusts the FPS for u8800pro again.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Moihack:
No need for a new boot.img since it can easily be fixed with the fps init.d script.

Regarding the sd-card though, this has not been an issue in the previous release(or at least never happened)...With current one it occured at least 3 times after a full clean install of the rom and I think it happens right after removing the phone from a USB-MTP connection.

Could you also provide a changelog at github? I'm just curious what further changes could improve memory usage even further.

Thanks again for this new release!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
I updated the changelog here: https://github.com/LegacyHuawei/local_manifests/wiki/CM11.0-changelog

Mainly, the memory changes cause longer bootup time, as the amount of initial background services is high when its booting but now we limit it. You can get back old behavior if needed by checking the commits I've done here and setting them in /system/build.prop: https://github.com/LegacyHuawei/android_device_huawei_msm7x30-common/commits/cm-11.0

1) Data encryption not working. After entering PIN-code, shows android image and ... nothing.

In logcat:

Orig filesystem overlaps crypto footer region. Cannot encrypt in place

16 KiB is not enough for "footer" or problem is something else ?

2) Cosmetic bug.

If you enable "Adaptive backlight" in "Settings -> Display & lights", press "Back" and open Display menu again, Backlight option will remain disabled.

hey nice work on the rom. does anyone still have the stock gingerbread rom they can upload for me? the install guide says i need to be on 404020 (after installing 2.3 firmware) but all the links are dead. your help would be greatly appreciated.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] missioner:
Go look at the Huawei support downloads website. It may still be available there.

If you get it then copy to a clean sdcard and rename to "update.zip", insert the SD card, reboot to download mode (pink screen) using vol+, vol- and power buttons pressed at the same time and watch the magic happen as your phone reverts back to stock OS.

I have the B128 baseband OEM OS for u8800 on my PC but I don't have any accounts on any filesharing sites that I can upload to. It was still available on the official downloads page at Huawei.com till quite recently, which is where I would start looking.

Good luck.

Hey!

First of all a BIG THANKS to Blefish for all his work! I just started installing CM11/12 on my U8800 since many apps require Anroid 4.4+ to work (I am still using this as my main phone).

Is there any chance to implement an update/workaround for having device encryption enabled without crushing the network/SIM Card functionality and thus rendering the phone unusable? It seems this is a known bug in CM11/12 and got solved in CM13 according to another boards post (I can provide link if necessary). I would not care if it is for CM11 or CM12 release.

Anyways BIG THANKS Blefish!

hello again sir

in this update, i only tested the proximity sensor, and it's not working as it should. When i tried to make a call, after push the call volume, the screen turns off before i out it in my ear.

i tested with elixir2 and the same think happen. can you adjust the lux treshold values of this sensor? i think you need to make it use less luxs, when trying to wake up the screen after take off the ear.

if you can do it, make it as 0lux to near and 1lux to far. This way i can gurantee that the screen will always turn of and on :)

least but not last, keep up the excellent work ;)
