[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] season 8:
hi, [MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION] and other guys

Can you help me?

I flashed CM11 (10.28th) last night and I lost my MAC wifi address. I cant connect to wifi (actually it shows: saved, secured with WPA2)

I use X5 settings and edit MAC wifi address and wifi working. But if I flash CM 10.1, Mac wifi still 00:00:00:00:00:00. (and I cant connect to wifi)

So, can you make x5 settings for CM10.1? Or can you tell me how to fix 00:00:00:00:00:00 Mac wifi address?

I've reflashed your ROM but issue still exists.

Thanks!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
In cm-10.1 you have to use this property "persist.wifi.mac". In Terminal do "setprop persist.wifi.mac 00:11:22:33:44:55". Then reboot and I think it should work.

The real solution would be to use this:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2567753 . With that method your MAC should not go blank every time you install a custom ROM (however stock ROM will still wipe it).

Hey [MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION] how is the development of CM12 going on?

Just want to give you a :salute: for your hardwork on this device. If it wasn't for you, this device would be obsolete! :good

And if I was older and had a credit card, I would surely have donated to you.

Keep up the good work.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Thanks.

Actually I was very busy with a school project during the last two weeks. However I got that done and I am back to development. I hope to have something ready soon though, but I can't promise stable release yet. Even CM itself is not stable at current state.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mohammad.nomaan:
Great News [MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION]

We know CM12 is still in its final stages for a stable version so we can wait till you get it and finish your next build

Im sure if you need ppl to test, we all are here to help you out

thnx for the brilliant work :)

Its been nearly 2 months, we got a new CM11 update.

Please let us know your plans on releasing a new CM11 update.

:)

Thanks

Kalyan
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
I'm thinking of doing a first CM12 release. Almost everything works, I'm just now improving the memory allocation in Wi-Fi driver and updating accelerometer & magnetometer drivers. The only major issue is 720p recording, which produces green recording on stock camera & Google camera. Other camera apps procued correct 720p recording though.

Since Lollipop uses ART, I also enabled dex preoptimization. Without that first boot would take more than 20 minutes, and gapps would increase it even further. However enabling the preoptimization increases /system size to over 500MB, so BlePart-2 is becoming too small. I have to make another partition table for it, and it takes some time as updating partition table is very complicated. There is also a LVM partition table method, which would be a lot safer, however I am still investigating if it's worth it on our phone.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
Please do it :laugh:

I downgraded to aurora before a month because CM11 was very slow(at least the last versions). I was waiting for CM12 to give another try.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalyansundhar:
YOU ARE SIMPLY GREAT !!!

I asked for CM11 update plans and you are saying CM12 is in ready state. Man!!! I don't know how to appreciate you. Right now I am not in a position donating again to help your development efforts. But I want to thank you a lot. I wish you a Happy New Year ahead. By God's grace If I am good in new year, I would definitely try to help your development effort in one or other way.

Thanks

change default memory to internal sdcard?

hello blefish!! i have been using your rom for one month.. everything works well (if i insert micro sd ).. but i have a question.. what should i do to change default memory to internal sdcard..?

i do not use micro sd now, cause i use your blepart 2,1,, 1GB is enough for me,, just use my ideos x5 for wifi tethering, call and messaging..

your rom is use micro sd as default memory,, so camera is not working and i can't download from stock browser..

sorry for my bad bad bad english..

many thanks if you answer my questions..

regards, merry christmast and happy new year blefish :D :laugh:

hi Blefish

how not NEXT UPDATE:good:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] m!xal!s:
Hello Blefish!

May I ask if you are planning a newer CM11 release with the WiFi driver bug fixed?

Maybe it can be backported from CM12 along with other fixes.

Please don't stop supporting CM11, now that CM12 is out.

If this WiFi bug ever gets solved, it would make CM11 the best Dalvik runtime KitKat Rom for U8800.

By the way, I also tried CM12 and it's great. Congratulations!

I didn't encounter the WiFi bug, which I have on CM11!

I had many SD Card Unmounts.

But I think I'll stick with CM11 because I have too many apps installed (200+) and because of the

ART runtime of CM12/Lollipop I couldn't install more than the most essential apps (~25) for me.

CM12 is very pretty, has some nice enhancements, feels good on U8800,

but it's missing a bigger ROM to be really useful. Only if our phone had an 8GB+ ROM.

This is of course just my opinion.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Be-Mine:
I also think that a stable final release of a CM11 will probably be much better and faster than a newer CM12, considering that Lollipop seems still under heavy development. (I guess CM11 may serve faster and will be more stable than CM12 on this very outdated Ideos X5 hardware, right?)

Unfortunately there's only one Blefish and a lot things to be done. If only we were able to help him on developing both versions. :(

Thanks for all Blefish, take care! :good:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
I used CM11 until latest version and it was very slow. This was the reason I downgraded to Aurora rom. Now I'm using CM12 and is faster than CM11.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Mahdial:
Hey, can you Blefish release a LVM compatible version of this ROM please. So we can switch between CM11 and 12 easily.

Thank you so much!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
CM11 is finally available at Basketbuild. U8800pro/U8860 will follow.

This version has 256MB zRAM. I think it's not optimal, but I forgot to change it and noticed it only after flashing. I might do another release later to fix that and a couple of issues on U8800pro.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] anzi2001:
What is new or fixed or better? Any changelog? :D nice work btw...may flash it if i see that it pays off :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
It's hard to put together a changelog because it features many changes from cm-12 releases. It's more or less at same state as cm12, but cm11 runs much better on our old device :). The one bad bug that remains is music skipping, however, you may install VLC media player to avoid this issue.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] anzi2001:
Is the sometimes laggy screen fixed?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] season 8:
Can I install on LVM partition or I must remove it?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Hmm, what bug are you talking about? Touch screen related or the LCD? I haven't noticed these issues myself.

It's LVM compatible, but it should also work fine without it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] anzi2001:
The atmel ts may not recognize finger release at all times and the synaptic ts sometimes fails to return from suspend bugs in the first post :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Be-Mine:
I couldn't find the exact place where the last Rom details are. Will you edit the first message in the first page when the fixed version is ready? If so when will it be ready for us to download?

I guess you prefer to focus on CM12 since it's the latest Android. But i think that CM11 may give better performance on our ancient device. Since you also declared that:

, i hope you focus on CM11 rather than CM12 in the near future. A stable, fast and everyday use CM11 Rom is my dream. :fingers-crossed:

Thanks for your efforts, hope to hear from you soon :good:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Yeah, I need to fix up the information on the first page and link it all to GitHub, where you also have the bug tracker and tutorials. I will do another CM11 release for sure, there were some fixes and optimizations that I forgot to implement in CM11 and these will be added too. Also, since CM11 code is more or less frozen, I could prepare a flashable zip that makes internal SD card primary, which is useful for those who do not have an SD card.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] tsioy:
Any news for a new LVM compatible cm 11 ROM?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
You can get it here (there may be a Wi-Fi issue which is not showing up for everyone, will be solved in next release): https://basketbuild.com/devs/LegacyHuawei
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] tsioy:
Thanks Blefish!! You 've mentioned something about 256 MB zRAM in this release. Should it bother me (for example, does it make the ROM slower)?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Not that much, but the main issue is that after some time the phone gets slow and the logs are filled with zRAM errors. It seems to happen less frequently when the zRAM size is smaller but it's still there.

I will fix up the links soon as well (the first page mainly, it's a total mess and the recoveries are not uploaded to BasketBuild yet).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
New release up, enjoy!

You can check the changelog for more info, however this release fixes recent security exploits and adds adaptive LMK, which really improved CM-12.1 memory management. ZRAM size is now 192M and U8800pro specific bugs should be fixed.

The build might have yesterday's date, this is because I initiated it early today and it used GMT time, which was still yesterday. U8800pro upload will finish in ~10 minutes.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ochentay4:
Well, Ive just tried CM12.1 on my U8800H and it was too slow for my taste. Then I tried CM11 and I was really surprised how fast the rom is. Going to stick with it for everyday use! Thanks Blefish!

Is there any known bug that I might have to avoid on CM11?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
The audio skipping is quite horrible. I will do another release in a couple of days that includes a testing fix for it, worked fine for me but not sure if it really fixes it.

New release will also use ROW I/O scheduler again, apparently it's better for lowmem targets. Also dedicated power HAL from LX, which should improve performance by configuring the governors correctly. I will also incorporate a fix for U8860, apparently front camera was not working.

-EDIT-

Forgot to mention, it will also fix some of the newer stagefright exploits that came up after the last release.

Hi

I've posted an issue related to my phone provider likeli : http://xdaforums.com/android/develo...egacyhuawei-roms-t3032641/page10#post62836025

I do not have any data connexion with your roms (which is not the case with any other CM or baidoo). Any idea? does your rom have a prerequisite? or does it have a issue with virgin mobile network? or with the roaming? or with the broadband?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] redsentinel:
Hello Blefish,

i want to thank you for this, and your work on this CM11 LegacyHuawei is super awesome!

i just try using your rom on my U8860 two days ago (i used the stock ICS before), and it make me feel like i have a new phone!

But, there is still two major problem that i find and maybe need your attention for your further release,

1. Front camera not working, when i switch to front camera, the camera apps stop working and give me a "Camera error. Can't connect to the camera" notification.

2. “Unfortunately, Trebuchet has stopped” when i try to enable search bar on homescreen setting, i need to kill the process, clear apps data and reboot to make trebuchet work again.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
The first issue is solved fortunately. I will do a new build tomorrow with the fix.

The second issue seems to be related to gapps. Maybe you can try using different gapps?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] redsentinel:
1. Awesome! i believe this will be a super great news for all LegacyHuawei user :victory:

2. What kind of gapps that you used. pico, nano, micro..? or you have a custom built gapps..?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
U8800/U8800pro builds are up, U8860 is currently uploading (once md5sum file is uploaded, it's completed).

I can't really remember. I have used various ones from XDA usually. Just make sure it's designed for 4.4.

I've decided to restart from scratch so :

Actions

I've taken the B919 Dess posted

Booted and reinstalled a fresh 919 with DLOAD

- apn not correctly set (proxy port incorrect)

- I've modified the apn & the data was there

Installed Kingroot (got root access)

Installed 5irom

mounted the bootloader partition

copied the latest twrp img from basketbuild

finally booted into recovery

installed blepart-lvm

(BTW I have now issues with mounting some partitions in recovery mode... )

factory reset

installed the CM 11

booted

set the same APN...

Data is not working

Is there any issue with the APN type? what is mandatory & what is useless ?

with a 4.03 rom default,mms,supl is ok...

I've tried a couple of combinations APN type: default,mms,supl,hipri,internet (added, removed some from the list) ... but no way to got it work.

Just WOW! This ROM is far the best one for our device. With test3 patch, black screen problem is really gone - although, sometimes it needs a second or so to turn on. Also I've noticed, soft keys are not working when you power on your device for about half a minute, after that everything is fine :) Keep up the good work, [MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION] !

A tip for other fellow U8800 users: Edit /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl, at KEY 217, change value from SEARCH to POWER if you want the search key to act as power button, and in settings you can set wakeup with volume keys for turning on your phone. My power button is really hammered, I believe others have same annoyance too, thought this would be helpful :)

Hello sir, can you change the lulx values of the sensor during calls?

We need it to be set, as 0 lux to turn the screen off, and just 1 to wake up the screen, when we take of the phone from the ear.

The last time i've checked this, i needed to put the phone under the lamp, to screen turn on.

I'd flashed test3.zip but when I called 900 (custumer service), black screen issue came back.

So sad

Howerer, thank you [MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION], you bring a new life for u8800, ur ROM is very smooth
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalyansundhar:
Great ROM

Blefish, First of all I thank you for this great ROM. It is pretty smooth on my U8800 device.

With the device having ATMEL touchsreen, I had a tough time using CWM 6.0.4.6. Swipe up/down always skips to alternate item in displayed list. Swipe right never selects the highlighted item. Swipe left never goes back to previous menu. Sometimes screen becomes blank with the CWM logo in the background. I have to hit some where in the screen to bring it back to normal.

When you release future ROM updates, it would be really difficult to flash it using this CWM. It would be really great if we get a non-touch version of CWM 6.0.4.6. In Requirements section, it is mentioned "CWM recovery v6.0.4.6 (or other with SELinux enabled)". I am not sure which version of CWM has SELinux enabled other than 6.0.4.6.

If I try to install this ROM with any other CWM, I get Error 7.

More of CWM issues than the ROM. Having a non-touch CWM would help greatly, installing future ROM updates.

As far as the ROM is concerned it is pretty smooth I would say. Only problem I see so far, is when the screen goes blank, pressing the power button just makes the LED to blink. Screen doesn't light up. I have to press the power button 3 or 4 times to light up the screen.

As someone said, you gave life to U8800.

Regards

OFF TOPIC:

I asked forum administrator to recognize the amazing work of [MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION] here (for bringing to us KitKat and excellent support), but apparently he has to apply for Recognized Developer.

So, Blefish please do it! :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Dalaitseren:
using rom for 2 days and i am really satisfied even there are several bugs. i am not an expert or dev. but i want to share some bugs i found.

Firstly my english is really baad. Sorry about this. :P...i know some them has already fixed.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
I won't start quoting, there are too many posts, but wow!

I honestly never thought the solution would be this. And the solution was to disable MDDI reverse link. If anyone wants to know, reverse link is used to "receive" info from MDDI, whereas normally you just send data to it. I guess there is a problem with NT355xx panels, so it needed to be disabled. The change to always use NT35582 is not changing anything really, as NT35510 had almost exactly the same driver, minus fps patch (which work, at least for U8800-51).

Actually, the display not turning on at calls is a different bug. I believe it's caused by proximity sensor, which has too low values to detect "far" events. As some said it's related to brightness, they're absolutely right, but this isn't the real explanation. You can debug this by downloading a proximity sensor testing app. Elixir 2 works nicely.

I will do test4 today, with test3 + modified proximity sensor thresholds. I am aware of some having low audio while some have it distorted, so I will make TPA2028D1 driver match Huawei values, hopefully sorting this out.

Since test3 fixes black screen/glitches, I will also update the recovery & blepart installer sometime soon.

I actually registered to be a recognized developer a few days ago, they said it would take quite some time for them to process it, so we'll see.

The phone booting to recovery while offmode is a recovery problem, and I won't work on a solution for now (as the proper solution is changing bootloader). Wifi hotspot comes sometime later, when I have time to debug it's crashing problem.

Last days here have been amazing!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ggunzio:
I just test the elixir2 APP, to test the proximity sensor, and you are right. Its the treshold values that are wrong. When you start the test, the sensor says it is near, just when i put the phone under a lamp, it says far.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Changes:

* Remove charger driver timer (should charge better when on charger for 3+ hours)

* Increased battery voltage offset (max 4188 vs 4230)

* Increased TPA2028D1 amplifier from 8db to 15db.

* Increased proximity sensor thresholds for "close" and "far".

* Fixed some problems with proximity sensor (far threshold never checked, distance was only based on "close" threshold).

* logcat reports Proximity Sensor ADC values (if possible, use ADB to determine optimal values for "close" threshold, and "far" threshold).

Users with low volume problems, when going to settings -> sound -> volumes, is the media low or are the ringtone/alarm also low?

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] pipoawas:
Well, time to say goodbye to the X5 threads, I just bought an Letv 1s X500, with Apple-like metal premium feel, 3GB RAM, 32GB ROM and 8 core 2.2GHz CPU, all for less than 200€. As you can imagine, no matter how good this rom is, the X5 is less than nothing compared to this new amazing machine (specially since sometimes it decided to lag for no apparent reason, but I suspect it's the gapps).

Let me give you an funny example about how fast this phone is: when I uninstall an app with 70MB average size, I tap 'OK' for confirmation (tap, as in, pressing the screen and lifting the finger, obviously). When my finger is fully lifted after the tap, the app is uninstalled (the screen message confirms it). Yes, it's THAT fast :D

Or in another example, I still don't know how the uninstalling progress bar looks like, because I never saw it! the system doesn't have time to show it

Anyway, thank you for your work and for answering our questions Blefish
