Languages

I've recently bought a Huawei Ascend Y550.

When I bought it, I wasn't aware that the french or arabic language weren't included.

By any chance how can I obtain one off these languages and how do/can I incorporate the language(s) into the rom.

Or do I need to install a brand new rom on my phone.

does anyone else face too much battery drain from android system?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hecaex:
On Stock rom its the Display which drains alot. On CM11 too. But on CM11 it seems the whole System drains alot more battery. Its maybe due to the fact CM11 hasn't any (Android Lollipop may fix this) 'Intelligent Battery saving mode' ...IMO.

Battery Tips for Android

1. Display Brightness - Turn off Auto Brightness and Reduce Setting Bar to Minimum acceptable to you.

2. Beware of constantly syncing Apps and Bloatware like Facebook, Twitter, News, Non-Push Email, etc. Set Sync interval for every 1 hour or more.

3. Don't use Live Wallpaper. Use dark wallpaper if possible.

4. Set Display Sleep Setting to 2 Minutes or Less.

5. Use WIFI over Cellular data when possible. Set WIFI to Always stay on during Sleep if you regularly use WIFI.

6. Be careful of using an excessive number of live widgets.

7. If you Sync Exchange Emails - set old email sync for 30 Days or less.

8. Do NOT use a Task Killer Battery Saver App.

9. Turn off Google Now and Location Reporting if you don't use it.

Hi, am just setting up my Y550, have rooted etc. Am trying to get rid of bloatware and have tried using Titanium Backup Pro to uninstall it, it lets me select the apps I want to remove and then gives me an 'uninstall successful' message, but the apps are still there.

I don't think that makes much sense IMHO. As the SoC already gets quite hot while playing. So with overclocking the heat gets higher!

I think its better to make a Kernel with more features, like a DT2W or even to have a Kernel were you can set the minimum clock speed lower then 800Mhz.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrik.KT:
Yes, I meant this weekend (well.. its more of last weekend now - June 6th and 7th) and I'm sorry, I'm just way too busy and I have very little free time. I don't have the stable build yet, but I included a useful lib for those with filtered wifi network. It should work basically with any build ( from [MENTION=6612045]giannisams[/MENTION] or [MENTION=5027205]hecaex[/MENTION] or me). Just replace the libhardware_legacy.so file with your current one in /system/lib/ folder and then open terminal emulator and set your mac with these commands:

su
setprop persist.wifi.mac_addr 01:23:45:67:89:ab

Change the 01:23.... to your desired mac address, then reboot your phone and you are good to go. Anyone feel free to post a build with this lib included. I will consider it as a stable CM11 rom and move on to CM12 and 64bit development.

The hardware of both Y550 and Y635 are almost the same, but I think there are some minor differences! Infact that the Y635 runs Android 4.4.2 with EMUI 3.0 Lite and the Y550 runs Android 4.4.4 with EMUI 2.0 Lite!

I noticed that there is no operating mode selector switch network settings -> mobile networks and the data transmission does not work only with SIM card operator PLUS , other operators are , so I think the problem is the lack of software brandowanego if I can in any way upload branded software?

Tried to update via 3-button start with files (3) for L01- not working

Tried to update via flashboot mode - successfull, but the T startup logo don't disappear.

You need to

1) root the phone

then

2) Install a file manager app (eg ES File Explorer) with root access enabled so you can assess system partition

then

3) Replace bootanimation.zip in /system/media/ or /data/local or /system/customize/resource/ with the animation of your choice. This is a well known thing to do on android, you can find detailed instructions and replacement animations elsewhere.

Have you ever given your mac address to the system administrators of the network it doesn't work on? If so your network is probably filtered by MAC address.

Hope that makes sense ;)
