Just today I had to restart it because the status bar got locked with the same image all day long.

Also, when I pushed it down, it showed the same hour all day long. Only after the reboot it started working ok again.

Another thing. I came from the Oxygen ROM, and the stock camera was more controllable than this one. It is not possible to select the type of photo shoot (night, sport, etc.), and the autofocus doesn't always focus on the selected spot.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalyansundhar:
This release is great. My device is non-LVM and installation went through fine without any issues. I still have 100+MB of space in my /system partition which is good. At 1200MHz CPU frequency, device works without any lag. I don't see any issues with WIFI, power buttons and so on. Battery usage is fine given that it is a OLD device with LATEST Android. Full battery charge works out for a day with Data Connection ALWAYS ON, which is OK in my opinion. If I turn off data connection, it may extend for another day or at least a half.

Only place where I see a lag even at 1200MHz Max CPU is the dialer. When I click on a favorite contact in dialer, it takes couple of seconds to display dialing screen. Other than that this is THE BEST ROM for our device.

BTW, It is my practice to do a clean install every time there is a new release. Clean install in the sense, I wipe /cache, /data and /system. This could be a reason I am not seeing any issues with the ROM. Just a note to fellow U8800 users.

My wife has Defy+ device. My son has Xperia Mini Pro device. Still there is no 'L' yet. But our device has 'L' factor. Now my son keeps asking me to give him my U8800 and insists me to go for a new 5" phone :). What else I could say. I thank a ton [MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION] for your hard work and for this greatest ROM.

Regards,

Kalyan.

I don´t have a "performance" option:

After research on web:

Go to Settings -> About phone

Scroll to the bottom of the screen

Press the “Build number” section 7 times.

It doesn´t come as "standard"

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

Many thanks for the V3 CM12 for our X5. Now downloading the latest release.

BTW, did you implement Cristoforo's updated LMK values as you mentioned prior to this release.

Thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mmick:
Thanks Blefish!, installed your latest recovery + CM12 + GApps (RC2), and now testing.

Until now working very well, OC to 1000 MHz and until now doing a couple of things runs sweet :D

Notes:

1) Cast screen still there and not working (with this SoC I think the thing won´t ever do, better do delete everything about it)

2) The Launcher / upper bar / settings still have a lot of pretty effects (despite I turned on the launcher the scroll off, no search bar, etc) which IMHO are overkill for the X5. Is there a way to turned them completely off? I think on X5 it makes a difference all those milliseconds and processed frames...

Other than that I need more time to test, but you have an excellent ROM there in the few short moments I tested it :laugh: :good:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mistersixt:
Thanks blefish, just did a full upgrade from Clockworkmod 6.4.X to twrp-2.8.4.0, from blepart-2.x to blepart-lvm and from CM11 to CM12, I had one strange issue on the very first boot where the system was stuck at "Optimizing 4 from xyz applications", but a reset and a new startup-attempt worked flawless at the end.

And I must say: it is working fine, with having overclocked the CPU to 1.4 Ghz, no serious issues so far, no undefined reboots ... so I am really happy seeing lollipop on our ancient device ;) .

Regards, mistersixt.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] tsioy:
Thanks for the update, Blefish!!!

How can we reduce the number of app icons shown in the menu ?

(30 icons per screen is far too much...)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
The stock camera app is made mainly for point-and-shoot, so it doesn't seem to have much features (it is similar to Google Camera app). You can try using some 3rd party alternatives, there are more options probably.

The launcher settings has option "larger icons". Tap on menu button when on the home screen, you should be able to find it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] tsioy:
Thanks for the quick reply.

Although the "larger icons" works, it changes the size of icons on the "desktop" and makes the app icons more blur.

In the previous version of the launcher, the icons were small and sharp, but there were fewer in the menu. I think 30 icons per screen are too much.

Is there another way to change the number of shown apps in the menu (not in the "desktop")?

Thank you.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rexnanet:
Check if you have "USB Host" on. I had similar problem and was due to this.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] lemene:

RebootMe for CM12:

I still often have the issue with the power button not working in CM12. For this reason I created a simple app, similar to CM power menu, to have an alternative way to reboot/poweroff/recovery/screen off when the power button doesn't work(but not only then).

So here it's RebootMe for CM12:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mohammad.nomaan:
Flashed the latest version without GAAPS

Reinstalled V3 without GAAPS

The device is faster now

Im using a couple of VOIP (Viber, Kakao, IMO, Line), one email account and other chat apps and all are working fine with Appx. 36 apps in all. (few do a FC at times but livable)

Downside is none of the Google related apps (youtube, maps, drive wont work) I can live without the Google PS but these definitely are needed on a regular basis .

Can we get even a minimal version of GAAPS than the one available as I see the device performs much much better without Gaaps. I had previously installed the 81MB pa_gapps-modular-pico-5.0.1-BETA5-20141225-signed.zip and the device went LAGGY. even the dialer took considerable amount of time to show up dialed calls :(

Can/Do we have a fix around this?:confused:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rexnanet:
I also have inconsistent battery charges and battery levels, although CM12v2 seems to be better than CM11.

After a whole night charging it shows the green led, I check it and the level is 100%, I lock it and leave it a little bit longer with the carger on and suddenly the led is a bit orange and the percentage lowers to 8X% or so. Then after a few minutes is 100% again.

Some strange issues where also present in my old ROM, oxygen 2.3.2. During a single charge the battery level graphic was sometimes smooth, then became "spiky" then returned to a smooth decay again with no apparent reason.

But charge was always constant and reliable.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mohammad.nomaan:
Hi [MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION],

Any news on V4 (weekly release)

Also, I wanted to request if we can get a slimmest version of GAAPs

The V3 now on my device works really great without Gaaps and I guess if we can a smaller version (Smaller than the PICO 81MB version), it will really be helpful for all

thnx
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Maybe, if I have time to compile it (and upload too).

There are many generic updates for the kernel, improving things here and there.

I know how to fix the charger problems, but since we want OTG feature, it cannot be done easily. I am currently debugging though, maybe I can find a way to support both (keep charging with RPC, and OTG function with kernel).

The charger issues might also be related to bad config. I have no idea what they use in stock, and whether they control the charger chip at all.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mmick:
Can you fix the charging problem and put a setting to turn OTG on/off only when needed (even if a reboot is needed)?

100% of the people use the charging feature, very few the OTG on the X5 ..

It seems unwise to have a faulty / unreliable charging just to have OTG...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] JekaPinsk:
If so, better to upload 2nd kernel with this function enabled.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
I agree. I did some testing and it might be possible to switch the mechanism by loading/unloading the GPIOs that access the bus between charger chip. I will try implementing it, will see how it goes.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mmick:
:good::laugh: nice to have you backing our U8800 :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
New version released, enjoy!

This version uses RPC side charging (like in stock firmware), with the exception of OTG, which overrides it temporarily. The phone charged properly for me, but I could not test it for longer periods (it should be ok though).

-EDIT-

Sourceforge seems to take longer time getting the link ready. Stand by, hope it goes live soon.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mohammad.nomaan:
Thnx [MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION] for the V4. Will wait for it to get uploaded

Any luck on the minimal Gaaps package for our device.

Thnx again for the brilliant work :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
You can try using some other gapps. At XDA I found something like this (note I did not test it): http://xdaforums.com/android/software/gapps-google-apps-minimal-edition-t2943330

Its the same gaaps files that you shared earlier.

This time I'll try the 32MB GAAPS version (universal)

Cheers
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] desalesouche:
19MB gapps = you will mainly only have goog le play.

so after that you can download apps you need

you might need to adapt the zip(updater binary? )

but still you can study it to see how it is done, and make a clone for your device.

that one is done for huawei u8860

Can you answer me?

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

I apologize if I ask a stupid question.

When I clicked sourceforge.net (for 01.02.2015 ver), I can download it. What does "pending" in this case mean? (Is this file corrupted or damaged?)

Thank you and have a nice day
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Its OK now I guess. Yesterday there were issues, the upload never went live. If the zip is corrupted, it fails to install (signature verification fails).

I have overheating problem and freezing.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mohammad.nomaan:
Hi, the phone heats up at times. Over clocked at 1.4. Maybe thts the culprit

Also, freezing is there at times and extreme lags sply when dialing calls or opening PS
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] kalyansundhar:
In latest build, I see extreme lags in the device when connected to WIFI even if I overclock to 1200MHz. With Data Connection, lag is tolerable. Is it something to do with WIFI driver? Because with 18.01.2015 build I didn't face this issue.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Seems like these bugs are all connected. I am currently doing some modifications to memory allocations, moving the full memory reservation to be CMA based. This increases available RAM, and further memory allocations to display heap would speed up. I think I will put a test image here for testing soon.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mohammad.nomaan:
Thanks [MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION].

Happy to assist you in whatever way possible (with my minimal technical knowledge)

I am sure there are many other who too would be happy to do the tests so that we all can get the best out of L for our X5
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] duartemv:
I am having an issue with a new battery I just bought. The phone says it is charging, but it is not. If I unplug it, the charge drains normally until it reaches 0. I know this because I file a complaint, and the seller sent me a another one, free of charge. But the new one is showing the same symptoms.

If I connect the charger, it just stays in the same percentage, and does not charge... I tried charging it with the phone off and on, with same result.

And I don't think that this battery is also ruined. Perhaps not even the first one is!

I bought through Ebay to an authorized seller, and it even has the Huawei logo. The battery specs are the same has the original, although the seller says it is for the U8800 Pro. As far as I know, they use the same battery.

Since I have read somewhere in this thread something about the battery chip (RPC and OTC), but don't understand any of it, I'm asking if someone could explain me if this could be an issue of the batteries, or of the phone/OS.

Thanks

EDIT: I have just installed latest CM12
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mohammad.nomaan:
Hi [MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION],

Another bug that has happened today. The touch screen is not responding on the Feb 2 build. Iv rebooted 2 times but still same issue.

I'll try to reflash the v2 update and report again

UPDATE

1. Tried flashing V1 update, TWRP unresponsive coz of the TS crash

2. Changed recovery to stock, in order to flash synaptics update. Phone not booting into recovery

3. Switched back to latest TWRP

Phone now back but unresponsive to touch. Power and volume buttons functional to wake only
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Let me fixup the stock recovery and upload it so you could fix the problem (basically for a quick fix you can flash CWM, flash the /system, /data and /cache, then it should boot stock recovery). Damn though, I wouldn't prefer people installing this ROM if it has this bug. I'm taking the time in the weekend to work out the solution to this problem. I will put a big red sticker on the front page until it is solved.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Synaptics touch screen freeze

I added stock recovery, modified to boot LVM/NON-LVM configuration properly. Can you verify TS installation is successful?

Anyone with the same issue, this is recovery procedure:

* Download the files below

* Save synaptics.img to SD card "update" directory

* Via pink screen, replace the recovery.img with the one in recovery-stock.zip

* Boot into recovery

* Install touchscreen firmware again
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mohammad.nomaan:
Thanks,

Dwldng it now.

Will update you in a minute

UPDATE

Stock Recovery updated, phone booting into recovery successfully as well as booting normally

TS Synaptics_update not successful

On Root Folder named - update as well as Synaptics_update

Error - E :update failed.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Hmm, so this does not fix it. What I will do now is try to implement the support properly in our kernel. I will test this in my device too (will replace to Synaptics tomorrow). This is a bad issue and must be dealt quickly.

You could also try taking the battery off for a longer period and try to install the update again.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mohammad.nomaan:
OK, will try doing to after few hours and will update here

UPDATE

Hi,

Removed battery last evening

Tried the update this morning, same error.

Hence the TS is still not responsive.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] selson:
compass

so, is it just me or is the compass still broken. just tried "new"miui rom and compass was fine. with cm12 it is not working. installed several cm10.1 and 11 versions and none had a working compass, deleted sensor data, calibrated several times but no success. i thought it was once working and that it stopped after a some update but now every version i tried has a spinning compass, strange. miui works out of the box, maybe it is because of the old 3.04 kernel?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
I am working on it, my old Synaptics TS firmware is corrupted too so if I can fix it I can fix yours.

I will see if I can fix it up properly. Theoretically after you disable sensor data, start maps or compass app and move the device in all axis. After that exit the app. Then the data should be saved properly and next time it should work.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] selson:
no, won't work. i mentioned this already last year but later i thought that maybe my magsensor might be broken. so i was really surprised that it worked with miui. so probably the data is not saved after calibration.

everything else is pretty much perfect!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Can you try this version of the recovery? It disables firmware comparing with the one on-chip, so it should always reinstall. It did not fix the issue for me, but I am running to a different error anyway.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mohammad.nomaan:
Hi [MENTION=4223446]Blefish[/MENTION],

Reinstalled the new recovery - Phone boots up in recovery

TS softward update - Error, same as before E : Error

Renamed folder Synapitics update and Update still same
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Do you have ADB in your PC? I would like you to do "adb shell dmesg" and output it to me after installing the firmware (do not reboot). The firmware is not installing due to a different problem, my own issue seems to be unrelated here.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mohammad.nomaan:
Hi

I don't have ADB but can install it now. You mean get the output after trying to update TS while in recovery?

Did I understand correctly
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Yes. adb shell dmesg is the command. Or if it doesn't work, you can first do adb shell, followed by dmesg. Kernel log should indicate why it fails. I am going to port the stock TS driver over to the kernel, so this would not happen in the future. I hope we can fix your problem successfully :).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mohammad.nomaan:
Thnx for the advise

I will be back home in few hours. Will try and update here asap

UPDATE

Hi,

Here is the ADB screen shot for your reference

Hope this helps

Thnx
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
This is almost what I need. I would like you to scroll up on that list, it should show RMI4/Synaptics/firmware messages somewhere. if you could get me those I would be thankful.

On a side note I think my own Synaptics controller is dead. It does not accept any firmware writes to it. I do not think yours is dead though, as others had successful rewrites after having this problem.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mohammad.nomaan:
Hi Blefish,

Please find attached the screenshots from the ADB Dmesg.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find the RMI4/Synaptics/firmware message

Hope this helps

thnx
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] JekaPinsk:
You can use "adb shell dmesg>dmesg.txt"

Than you will find dmesg.txt inside your adb folder or your personal folder in windows (e.g. c:\users\%username\)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mohammad.nomaan:
Thnx, will try redoing it tonight.

Cheers

UPDATE

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

I installed the official B512 ROM to use the device

All went well and rebooted successfully. Issue is the screen isn't responding now even on the stock ROM

As I have tried flashtool and it want would work. It won't even update the tablet to 4.4.4 with the time file is downloaded. Hope some one can help me.

Thanks james
[XDA Assist] It_ler:
Hi James,

best place to ask is in the Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > [HELP THREAD]Ask Any Questions! No Question is Noobish [NOOB FRIENDLY] thread.

There you should get quick and proper answers.

I found something about unlocking the bootloader here:

Unlocking bootloader tablet Z (Guide)

Unlocking bootloader

Usually you have to unlock the bootloader, then flash a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP are the most popular ones), and then you can flash a custom ROM.

But best to ask in the help thread for your device.

Good luck !

Hello everyone,

I had HTC one that I sent to maintenance to be swapped for a factory fault. Before I send it, I made a full backup with HTC sync manager and saved it on my E: partition. When the phone was at maintenance, I had to install a new windows because it crashed. When I received my new phone, I installed HTC sync manager and copied the backup files to HSMbackup directory.

The problem is that sync manager says no backup available for the device and I really need to restore those data because this is the only backup I have.

Please, can anyone help me???

Did you just reinstall windows or did you perform a factory reset on the computer? If factory reset, you are basically SOL.

There are some data recovery programs out there you can try, but it all depends on whether data has been overwritten. Try Recuva.
