Reflash the original zip or extract boot.img from it and replace manually. No need to do anything else (gapps or wipe not needed).

What glitches did you notice - display or touch screen related?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] bdgraue:
display glitches. touch screen worked ok for me from the beginning, i didn't notice any problems.

Battery drains so fast

I had have a 100% battery last night before i went to sleep. But when I wake up, the battery shows 44 percents (56 percents lost with doing nothing).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Triflot:
This is my first Blefish ROM experience, and other than the known issues, it's fantastic! Well done and thank you for sharing! :)

I can recommend increasing the CPU clock rate for a much better performance.

It's hard to tell what the problem is without any logs. Maybe try leaving BetterBatteryStats running and see if anything is keeping it awake. Keep in mind, our batteries are running weaker, too.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rqmok:
CyanogenMod 11 takes a hell lot of battery out of the phone. I currently have this ROM on i9100, and the battery barely lasts one day, if I don't use the phone.

The best that can be done is to change to a power saving governor, and undervolting the kernel.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] akin28:
using the internal memory of the phone not the

sd card. so the games can not be opened

/storage/sdcard0 : sd card

/storage/sdcard1 : internal memory
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Try to see if changing location mode to battery saving helps: Settings->Location->Mode
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] season 8:
thanks. I'll try.
[MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION], your rom is so nice, works well for me
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] chaokai123:
After an hour test，i think the new driver is better than the old one.I selected the developer option--Pointer option to test.I found that the fingers sliding trace is much Smoother than the old one.The old ones trace is on and off.The new one is level and smooth.But it is still too sensitive to control.

With a long time test,i found that the four button still hard to use（especially the back button）.This problem is exist for a long time. Sometimes i must take several times to use the back button.I think it is a big problem.For me .the rom is smooth and beautiful.Great work！

=======update====

Bad news.After i reboot system several times，the laggy of touch control happened gagin，the fingers sliding trace is on and off.But After a short time ，the laggy issue about touch control disappeared.Anyway,maybe it means the new s-ts driver still not stable.

Hi Pipoawas

You'v really been my mascot on this, will do as instructed.

Just 1 question, I have CWM backup copies on my laptop for both the CM10 and CM11 ROM (I copied the backup folders to be safe before but they didn't help earlier)

Should I try to restore the CM10 backup (as its on the CWM5.5 recovery and I can go to the CWM recovery now) or just do as you instructed

thanks a lot and n really appreciate your assistance

cheers

All fixed now
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pipoawas:
I assume you are refering to whole system backups (apps, data, system, cache, etc) you made through CWM, also known as "nandroids", right?

I thought you didn't have those. Yes you can try to restore those backups first using the new CWM. If it doesn't work, try the method I explained.

In either case make the wipes, just to be sure...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
This is the wrong thread to discass this problem. Please make a new thread in general section.

As for your problem, before you try to change partition sizes you should make a full backup of the device(search for a thread: U8800 full linux backup). I had your problem 2-3 times and this backup saved me from a lot of trouble. Also if you reflash(or had) an official rom after 518, you must unlock the pink screen to use the above. Search for the thread: "Get your pink screen back " to find it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pipoawas:
You're right, sorry guys.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mohammad.nomaan:
My apologies for doing it here. Actually got stuck while modifying this ROM so discussed it here. Thnx

---------- Post added at 04:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 PM ----------

Thanks chief.

I'll run the restore and revert shortly. BTW, will run restore for CM10 as it was recommended for 5.5cwm recobo. What do you suggest

Thanks

Hi [MENTION=445689]belf[/MENTION]ish, The Bluetooth is still the same, even with your instructions. Is it possible for you to address this issue in the next release? Kind Regards. Continue the great work, your super!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ochentay4:
Hi, I just wanted to say that after being scared of CM11 months ago (it broke my Touchscreen), I have tried latest version and it works like a dream. No reboots so far, excellent Wifi, faster that Android 4.0.4. Cant complain at all. Keep up the good work Blefish!

Wifi Issues

Hi,

First of all, great job you been doing here Blefish! The Rom is great with no lags or freeze ups until now.

But have a very serious issue, i can't connect to most wifi networks, I think it's the damn wifi wpa problem.. Does someone know if there is any fix that can be applied to resolve this? I've already read the whole thread and haven't found a solution for this! It's really a pity because for the looks of it, it seems to be one of the best roms i've seen so far for my old u8800.

This is regarding the 16.05.2014 ROM.

Best regards
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
Are you sure that you don't have any other problems with wifi(I haven't test other networks to test about connection problem)? I have the same rom, and I have serious problems only when wifi is enabled. When screen goes off, most of the times locks and cannot turn it on unless I remove the battery. And battery drain too fast(less than 3 hours without using the device), and/or the battery indicator don't show correct level. Also some times drops to 80% immediately after the device disconnected from usb. None of those happen when the wifi is disabled, device is very stable and batter lasts almost 2 days.

I hope that Blefish is informed about this and working on it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ViperRunner:
Hi dancer_69,

For the test i've had the time to do, mine is okay except for the wifi. It sees networks but wont connect!

Sincerely i hadn't had the time to test it extensively, because it isn't my primary mobile, it's a backup one, but as soon as the wifi issue is fixed, i can test it for some days and give my feedback!

Best regards
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
Maybe this is why you don't have the problems I mentioned, you cannot actually connect to the network. All these problems I have them when I'm connected.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mohammad.nomaan:
Hi All,

Finally after a few days of agony and headaches, Iv fixed my phone and all is fine now. I guess the issue was resolved with Blepart 2.3.

Anyways all well now. Iv reinstalled the ROM & GAAPS successfully.

Issues I face now:

IMEI Not available = 0; I can still make and receive calls

Wi-Fi MAC address not available - Fixed it in Ideos Settings apps (thnx blefish)

Bluetooth address = 0; I can still connect with devices, send and receive data

TWRP is unable to do a ROM Backup, tried twice = failed

Phone battery backup was better in the 1st install, faster drain after GAAPS installed

Also, the loudspeaker volume is low even though I set it as max

Will update this as I find other issues.

thanks again to pipoawas for his support and help and a special thanks once again to Blefish for reviving this phone.

Cheers
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] NetMan_PT:
Hi,

If you want, try again in the recovery:

-Wipe data/Factory reset (

ATTENTION: your phone will lose everything! Will return to 1st time use!!!!

)

-Wipe cache partition

-Wipe dalvik cache

-Reboot system now.

Hope this helps you in some way, if not, wait for an expert answer.

Kind Regards
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Dalaitseren:

Hi

Try to edit/change ur MAC address in the Ideos setting app. The MAC address for ur phone is mentioned on the phone sticker (in the battery slot).

That's what I did and its working fine.

Hope that helps.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ideosx5:
[MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION] please fix lock Screen issue. Thanks

what changes did u make to your mac address? mine is as same as in the battery slot.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Mahdial:
Just installed the ROM ,everything works fine till now. Thank you Blefish for your hard work you're the best.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mohammad.nomaan:
Well my wifi was not working so I edited the MAC wifi address and it works fine

Have been able to connect to various wifi connections easily.

Did you try doing that?

Also, for the Camers FC, did you choose save to SD option for photos, maybe change that saving to phone might help

thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Cursed Chico:
Should i reset phone or just update without losing data? I have april or may version of that rom.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mistersixt:
How do I find out what what my partitioning currently looks like? A looong time ago I installed CM 10.1.1 - v6.0 from coldblue_, and I do not remember whether I fired BlePart 2.x for something similar. Is it safe to simply install this image via TWRP 2.7.1.0?

Thanks in advance,

mistersixt.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zazza8:
BlePart was released this year on January so you probably don't have BlePart but you can check it for example with this. Yes, you can use TWRP.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mistersixt:
Thanks a lot, that was indeed helpful (although my /system partition is 360 MB only, so I need to fix this before being able to install this CM version).

Regards, mistersixt.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mmick:
I am interested on installing this ROM but I heard about several WIFI issues, and some others.

Will this (soon) be fixed on a new version or won´t be updated anymore?

I hope this ROM gets new updates, as it promises a lot and it gives a new heart for our X5
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] RBwai:
[MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION]: are you planning some future update for some problems, that still persist for this ROM? Otherwise this ROM is still one of the best for this phone, so many thanks for your incredible work.:good:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mohammad.nomaan:
Agreed.

[MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION] we just need your final touches on this ROM (specially on the battery drain issue)

I have also updated the TWRP to 2.7.1 and it runs perfect. No issues in installation and backups

Else everything is perfect

BTW: Iv ordered a new battery for my device as its got a new life altogether

Hope it stays as expected
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
I'm working on it :)

There are a lot of changes done since the last release. I am not going to list them here, but I'll do another release very soon. Synaptics issue could be finally solved, we'll see about that.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mohammad.nomaan:
Thats great news.

It will a great move for this ROM

Just 1 more update. After upgrading the TWRP 2.7.1, when I charge the phone on off mode, it reboots on its own. Dnt see the battery charge animation. I don't know if its just me or other user's also see this issue.

Just wanted to let you know.

Thnx
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zazza8:
Off mode charging has been broken since official 2.3 (if I remember correctly?) and it's listed at the bugs section in the TWRP thread.

You can leave your phone to the recovery and it will charge there (at first it may seem like it's not charging because the battery percentage doesn't appear but it will appear after some time).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mohammad.nomaan:
Thanks for the note.

That's strange for me coz I could see the off mode charge until I changed the twrp to 2.7.1

Don't know if its coz of that or any other change

Thnx anyways for your help
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] RBwai:
Thanks for the good news Blefish. Mostly I hope on resolving Synaptics bug. Other issues will be fine too.

Keep on with such a good work.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] zazza8:
Did you use CWM 5 before TWRP? It may be that it's broken only in CWM 6 and TWRP. I didn't remember correctly :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mohammad.nomaan:
Yes. I was on cwm5.5 before repartition on cwm6 and then twrp 2.7
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] hobarr:
Bugs:

Battery percent not stable and faulty.

speaker sound distorted.

compass is inaccurate.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] FUSiON2992:
I keep getting the error "some symlinks failed" when trying to install this ROM. I'm using coldblue_'s CM 10.1.1 - v6.0.

I get the same error with Clockwork 5, 6 and TWRP v2.7.1.0, even after wiping data and cache (and actually unmounting cache).

Has anyone else had this problem?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ggunzio:
Read the first post. Im not sure, but those errors are related to partition layout of your phone. You need to repartition it, before install this ROM. I will not tell you how to do it, because its all discribed in the op.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] FUSiON2992:
Thanks for the heads up, mate :D

I hadn't installed BlePart as it was giving an error with CWM and TWRP, but with BlePart Recovery it flashed flawlessly.

And no more Symlink errors! Flashing the ROM worked too.

Thanks Blefish for the rom :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ochentay4:
Hi Blefish, I just wanted to report that after using latest cm-11-20140516-UNOFFICIAL-Blefish-u8800.zip it worked ok for 1 week and now I have the same problem some months ago:

SYNAPTICS TOUCH SCREEN STOPS WORKING AT ALL.

I had to go back to official B528 ROM, flash U8800+SynapticsTouchscreenFirmware_20111228 on official recovery again, and do everything again (I0m on Aurora again till this terrible issue is fixed).

Something in your rom erases my Synaptics firmware.

Please do look into it as your rom is really good.

Thanks for all your work.

Wifi not working

Hi everyone,

Tested a little further, and oppened the x5 setting to see if the wifi mac address matched the one on the back of the mobile, and it does.. Even so i activated the custom mac addresses and rebooted and still a no go to connect on wifi... changed the last letter on the mac address, rebooted and again a no go.. deactivated the custom mac address and rebooted and again the same..

There is no way mine connects to a wifi network :(

Hope this helps sorting what is going on!

hello

im now using daily this rom

first bugs ive noticed are:

sometimes cant wake up the phone. have to take off battery to restart.

compass is messed up.

sound distortion from the speaker even in medium volume
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
New release up, enjoy!

Built upon the latest code there is (as always).

Wi-Fi should not crash the phone anymore, but if it does, now you can send me the logs (check second post). It may have occasional high power usage, but it is improved over the last version.

I swapped the Synaptics driver with a new one. This driver does not have freezes (another developer helped testing it) & it should enter/exit suspend properly. Hopefully this one does not corrupt the firmware, unlike the previous one did (for some users).

If you want to have the latest CWM recovery installed (compiled with the ROM), you can now enable it in Settings->Development options->Update CM recovery. If you enable it, next reboot will install the latest recovery (which does not have freezing issues).

If you currently have KSM enabled, you may have to disable it. A while after booting up, the video decoder/encoder no longer works otherwise (this is due to incompatibility between CMA & KSM).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dikerow:
Thank you Blefish Can we flash the rom with forumber's TWRP recovery?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
Yes you can.

@Blefish:

Unfortunately this new version didn't solved the wifi related freeze when device screen is off. Same as previous version, when wifi is on and the device isn't connected with usb, freeze when goes to standby mode and also battery start to drain very fast. When wifi is off, battery is quite stable(some times indicator drops from 100% to 88% when device is connected and charging) and no freezes at all. At least this short time I tested.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] tempius:

Hi [MENTION=445689]belf[/MENTION]ish

Hi do not have Development options on my phone settings. How do I enable it?

The Bluetooth Driver is still not working for phone calls, or streaming music (+50cm from phone) (Even on High power on X5 Settings)) :(

Is it possible to change the phone Icons (Wifi/Data/Bluetooth/Batterie/etc) to Cyan color?

Keep this good work and thank you so much for your effort :good:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] season 8:
wow

thank you, Blefish. Now we have 376MB RAM
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ochentay4:
Excellent, great list of changes. Will tryas soon as I can. One question though: do you know if there is any chance of Synaptics Firmware using any other tool other than official 2.3.6 recovery?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mohammad.nomaan:
Hi [MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION],

Many thanks for the updated version.

Downloaded and flashed ROM & GAAPS. Everything runs perfectly including the Wifi (after editing it in Ideos system app)

Yes the Wi-Fi is eating up battery faster but as you mentioned, we will wait for it to get stable.

Thanks again for all your hard work and reviving this phone.

cheers
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Can you tell me what's your Wi-Fi sleep policy (aka when wifi disconnects)? It might help me debug this issue further.

Check Google on how to enable the Development options.

I will probably buy myself a BT headset to fix this problem.

You might have luck changing these icons with theme packs (using CM theme engine). Or xposed. It's definitely possible but I haven't looked into it.

Actually the new Synaptics driver can be extended to support this, but I must try it out myself before (as it's likely to not work or break the touch screen). I don't mind as I am using Atmel on a daily basis (to have 10-point multitouch :)). I'm hoping this driver does not cause the touch screen corruption anymore.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ideosx5:
[MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION] my recovery is not update. Please shared manually.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Settings->Development options->Update CM recovery is checked and you have rebooted afterwards? The recovery check is done when the device boots up, so after checking the option, it won't update the recovery until you do a reboot.

I will update the recovery when I can, seems like this Synaptics driver works fine.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
How to find this? I have no disconnections at all, but I'm turning wifi off, because when is enabled I have screen freezes and battery drain problems.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ideosx5:
i am try. but not update.

Edit: updated. Thanks :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mohammad.nomaan:
Hi All,

After reading most of the comments on the new version, here are my inputs/findings after using the new version since the last 2 days.

1. Battery - Was draining faster in the new version, fixed it using 2 apps:- Battery Life Repair and Advanced Battery Calibrators. both are available on PS and have drastically enhanced my battery. Its uptime is now over 16hrs on Wifi (Screenshots available)

2. Battery stats also available via BetterBatteryStats app (Screenshots available)

3. WiFi Connection Issue - Use IDEOS X5 app and edit your WiFi MAC Address, save and then reboot (You need to REBOOT). It will work

4. System Apps - After flashing the full GAAPS, the system memory is nearly full, please remove unnecessary Google Bloats (Play Games, Books, Hangout, Music, Google+) if you don't need them. Google+ was using maximum RAM for me so removed it. Used System App Remover (free on PS) You may choose accordingly

5. RAM Management - As [MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION] recommended, edit it in the Settings/Memory Management. It is helpful. Also, I am using Clean Master and Greenify (free on PS) and RAM Expanded app. Very helpful in RAM enhancements and cleanup:good:

Hope this helps, Thanks:angel:

Hi [MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION],

Would request you to explain the usage setup for USB Host Mode in Ideos X5 Settings App.

Im still not sure how to set up even though I have left it on automatic
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Host mode powers the USB, so you can connect your OTG cable and plug in memory cards or USB devices. It can't be automatic.

The charging current is what changes the amount of power coming from the PC/AC adapter to your battery. My old battery has much better results using lower power charging instead of 1A. Also, it can be used to charge the phone faster over PC or some unofficial chargers.

I got a PM about the new Synaptics driver. Some time it still fails to return from suspend properly, and the touch screen does not respond in such cases. I will do an experimental update soon to fix this.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] AceDroidX:
Phone is overheating with the latest update. I didn't change anything. Using smartassv2 1ghz. Maybe it's related to WiFi?

Also YouTube videos don't have the 720p option, I think the phone supports it, right?

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mohammad.nomaan:
Hi Blefish

Thanks for the reply

Today while surfing web, the phone rebooted and then the screen is frozen. I cant unlock or swipe. Same issue even in recovery mode, cannot reset the phone either

Any suggestions how to fix this

thnx
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] FUSiON2992:
My phone's been running this ROM for 5 days and everything seems to work great! I've bought 2 extra batteries as thanks to Blefish's efforts I'll keep this phone for another year :)

One question, though: where do you change the CPU governor and clock speed? I couldn't find any "Cyanogenmod settings" or "Processor settings" in the menus. Or are you guys using SetCpu or some app like that?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] tempius:
in "Settings" > "About phone"

click on "Build number" until you get a message saying "you are a developer" or something similar, then

in "Settings" should appear "Developer options" and "Performance", in "Performance" you can change the Processor.

I hope it helps :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] FUSiON2992:
Yes it helped, thanks man! :) (I don't think I'd ever figure that out by myself)

I had already forgotten about these settings. The phone feels so much smoother with SmartAssV2 @1.2GHz than Ondemand 800mhz :D
