Hey, freddy, good ROM, I'm pleased I have rooted phone (I have Linux on desktop and I was missing root access on my phone...). Also I'm pleased I don't have uninstallable apps.

Question on you - Do I need init.rc file? If so, can somebody send it to me? I don't want to flash my phone again (lose my data).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bravesoul:
Here is the init file you requested:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/pmjdpt

Edit:

By the way, freddy, i found out what was consuming the battery on the v1.3.2. It was the data conection thing, because i have a 3 month free internet connection with Vodafone, it was always checking my email, weather and others, and that was the reason. Now is way better, no more hanging with a charger on my pocket, hehe.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Pavouk106:
Many thanks to you

hi, how can i install Green-Mod? thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] circulus:
1. put zip file with green framework mod to sdcard root

2. install Amon_RA recovery 1.6.2 for T-Mobile Pulse Mini

3. reboot to recovery

4a. is recomended to do a nandroid backup first in Amon_RA recovery (requires some space in sdcard - about 200 mega bytes (maybe more I don't exactly know for now))

4b. in recovery select flash zip from sdcard and select zip with green framework

5. after flash do reboot and job is done

Has anyone problems with the hardware buttons? The touch-pad-button is sometimes moving while it's not touched and my power button hangs from time to time.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bravesoul:
I had the same problem, and as sugested, i went to market and downloaded ASTRO (There's also LINDA, but i prefer ASTRO for the layout), which is a very good file manager, you can also download the Vodafone apps on first page and then copy the original file manager to the sd-card, afterwards, install it. And that's it, problem solved.:cool:

I had it, it seemed like it was posessed, lol, has a mind of it's own, the solution was to reboot, but now and then i have the same problem. I believe it's a factory problem. It has happened pretty much since the day i bought it. About the power button, no problem there, but you aint the first that had complaints about it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
Interesting, so i do not have a broken device.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sancho_sk:
According the web reviews, the HW button is unfortunately also light sensitive - therefore on strong light it can act strangely...

It did not happen to me, yet, but I am alergic to strong sun, therefore I have limited options to run into such situations.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Pavouk106:
I have the same problem. Strong sunlight and shadows makes this happen. It's veru frustrating when writing SMS - cursor jumps around and you are writing here and there... Bad, but it seems like all VF 845s will do this.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bravesoul:
I hope Huawei is viewing this so they can fix it in the next generation of androids, if not already.

I live in Czech republic. When i bought Vodafone 845 i called to Vodafone support and they said that this phone is not locked at all. I tried T-mobile and its works fine.

So there is no carrier lock, atleast in Czech Republic
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sancho_sk:
Yes, there is no lock in CZ, but there is in HU :)

Enjoy the phone, I do :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Yogesh Khetia:
Sorry if i failed to explain but i meant that will this process of installing custom rom unlock the phone or the lock will still exist?

Hi Guys...

How can I make my personal Rom??

I mean, After I installing this Room, what is Great, I personalized and installed a few apps. Id like to "backup" the present status in case something gets wrong and I need to wipe or something.

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] freddyemmer:
go into recovery and choose nandroid backup + ext

Hi there,

I searched the web for like an hour now and was not able to find any information about the 845's GPS ... Can you please share any information about it? Which chip is it? Trying to find out if it has a better chip than the iPhone 3G!

Thanx,

Unlock

Hi!

I was wondering if i install the custom ROM will the phone be unlocked?

If not, how can i definitely unlock it? I don't want to use Xsim or others, i really need a full unlock.

I have searched some websites but the only one i have found is http://www.unlock-tmobilepulse.com/ since http://dc-unlocker.com/ doesn't work.

Does anyone know and have used http://www.unlock-tmobilepulse.com/?

Thanks in advance!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sancho_sk:
Check the latest (todays) version of dc-unlocker. It does already unlock the phone for 10 EUR.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
Does anyone know how to change the size of the lock-pattern? Seems to be changeable, as it changed in some version of this custom rom.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Necroman_AI:
Thanks! I already had that software version but i have choosen the Huawei Modem instead of the Huawei Phone...

Thanks again because after reading your post i went to the software again and noticed my mistake!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkzito:
Just did it. 10EUR and now mine is fully unlocked.

Nice one!

Thanks.

BUG with Green-Mod

Hi!

I have flashed my VDF845 and i really like the custom rom! Kudos for that!

Then i tryed to play some more and went to recovery and flashed green mod because i prefer it to the redish one.

It flashed OK but when reboot (also tried power down and boot) i noticed a problem with the lock pattern. Lock pattern locks strange and not centered wich made recognition of the pattern a big problem!

I tried to calibrate the screen but this is not the issue, i really think its with green mod since after flashing the custom rom it worked ok.

Haven't tried the red mod but can someone try the green mod and post their experience?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] freddyemmer:
Yes lock pattern is different with greenmod i can't get it to the original size like the redmod.. I'm going to add a note to the second post about the greenmod..

Does anyone know how to 'instal' this phone for linux/ubuntu?

I've added the following line to /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="12d1", MODE="0666"

Which is exactly what I should do, according to developer guide of Android.

It works fine with a T-Mobile Pulse (Huawei as well) from a colleague, but I cannot push anything when in recovery mode to this vodafone 845

Anybody know of some special tricks for this phone?

(Btw, I've managed to root it with a Mac in work, but my home laptop is Ubuntu only..)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
For Linux install usb-modeswitch, for Mac see http://anti.teamidiot.de/nusse/2010/08/vodafone_845huawei_u8210_on_ma/ which works for me
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bas-r:

Is ROM Manager working on the 845?

I have a Vodafone 845

In the Recovery Mode Menu I can´t move the selection up or down.

What I´m doing wrong?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fpereira_pt:
Did you try to use the DPAD cursor? It's the little squared button in the middle of the buttons set. ;)

In portuguese:

Desliza o dedo para cima/baixo no cursor óptico, que é o pequeno botão quadrado do meio entre os botões «menu» e «voltar/home». Para escolher a opção (enter) clica no botão.

Hi!

I'm using MR Edition ROM and i really like it a lot! Much more than the stock ROM.

I'm having some issues but i don't think its because the custom ROM, but i need some help:

1. How can i manage the ap2sd space of apps? I have created the partition successfully but it doesn't appear on the space manager...

2. In the ROM picture i noticed the 2.1-update1 firmware version, but i only have 2.1... I have the update option on the space manager options, but when i try to update it says there is nothing to update...

3. I'm also having some problems when enabling the Wifi. Sometimes i have to make several tries to activate it and sometimes it just wont activate at all... I have tried going to the direct option or using other software (like my settings) but the behavior is always the same: i try to tick the Wifi enabling it, but after a few seconds i get the "unable to start wifi" message and it do not get ticked, so i don't have wifi...

Thanks for your help!

Mr Edition roms

Hi thought you may be interested in this, I live in South Africa and it seems the original rom has been specifically desighned for our country

the original rom = xxx.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/downLoadDetail.do?method=downloadFile&flag=1&fileName=36254&attachmentName=V845%20V100R001ZAFC02B226SP01(South%20Africa%20Vodacom).zip

posted on the huawei web site, resets everything

Tried all the roms so far, your Mr Edition v1.3.2 causes th phone to become unstable, Mr Edition v1.2 works great, but The WI-FI refuses to work

Details

type : WIFI

state : UNKNOWN/IDLE

reason : (UNSPECIFIED)

extra : (NONE)

roaming : (FALSE)

failover : (FALSE)

isAvailable : (FALSE)

Wi-Fi

Unable to start Wi-Fi

power control is half lit asthough it is trying to activate

Please C if you can find a difference in the setting between the rom u used and the ZA rom found on the huawei web site

thank man

keep on the good work
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] freddyemmer:
please upload the original rom to a fast download site and i will have a look..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] freddyemmer:
The pictures aren't up to date ;-)

you can see the a2sd info by downloading quick system info from the market.

Where do you live? the wifi problems are country bounded.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bluedragon1982:
STOP!

in the last posts there was a comment that its only 2.1 and not like in the "older" screenshots 2.1-update1

The phone is stock shipped with 2.1-update1 (2.1-update1 is newer as 2.1)

so, is Mr 1.3.2 2.1 or 2.1-update1 ?

Note:

The 2.1-update1 was first shipped to the Nexus One and enables official the Multitouch on it

PS: can we please get newer srceenshots and maybe a blue-mod too?

(sorry if i request things here that are allready inside the rom - ill get my "Vodafone 845" later today and than the first thing after charge it will me root and flash Mr Edition 1.3.2, after that i can transfer all my apps form my G1 to the 845 via TitaniumBackup (ill hope that works). The 845 will be only an just-for-fun Android Device for me, cuz it as an 3,5mm so i can use it as mp3 player in my car too)

i realy like, that an verry low budget phone (99,90€) is that easy to root and allready has an rooted custom rom. Thanks for this!!!

Froyo update news

Not for the V845, but interesting news:

w w w . s o l i d b l o g g e r.c o m /huawei-u8150-mobile-features

Specs look pretty much like the 845. Maybe this will be the source for a port of Froyo to our cell. Sorry for the spaces, but the board does not let me post an URL.

Hi! As i said on the latest post i have firmware 2.1 with Mr Edition 1.3.2. But in your picture you have firmware 2.1-update1 and i think is more updated than mine! I have bought my new equipment 2 days ago...

I live in Portugal... Can we have a fix for Wifi problems?

I would also like a blue-mod... As you say, firmware 2.1-update1 should be newer than 2.1. I have installed Mr Edition 1.3.2 and it shows firmware 2.1 on my phone but i think this has nothing to do with the custom ROM? Can someone confirm this?

till now this rom is great, hopfull waiting for a blue-mod ;)

and with titaniumbackup i got my g1 (froyo) apps to 845 (eclair) copied

thanks for your work :) maybe you can add the phone and cantacts apk that are used in cyanogen's roms to your rom - i havent tried them, if i get a bite time ill try them on the 845 via adb push :)

YouTube slowing

Hi!

First of all, congratulations to the rom. I have noticed big optimizations in speed, thanks for all.

After a reflash, which is needed by a freeze on bootloader image, I wanted to watch a video on YouTube. I sadly saw that the video is lagging, it just can't play the video normally. In Task Manager I killed almost all of the applications, from ~20MB memory now I have ~85. But the videos are very slow tough. I have also downloaded SetCPU, it says the cpufreq is 528Mhz. Has anyone experience this problem? I really don't want to revert to the Vodafone OF.

Note: with the previous flashing this did not happen.

Note2: the problem is not with the buffering (or buffering-related:confused::confused:), because it starts the video, the red marker shows that about 30 seconds has seek. For about 4-5 seconds it plays normally, and after that it slows down, starts lagging. Also there is a strange behavior of the red line of buffer; when the lagging starts, the red line disappears :eek:, as there was no sufficient data downloaded.

Please help me!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TacoLoco:
Maybe because it doesn't use hardware acceleration and cpu is too slow..

Another bug?

Hi!

I think i've found another bug... When i'm in messaging and try to attach a new recorded audio, the message app forces to close.

Also i've been searching for the app that should allow to record audio, but i can't find it and maybe this is the problem?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sn0opy:
You could download "Voice Recorder" from Appbrain
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Necroman_AI:
Thanks! But i can't... It doesn't find any match on the market. This happends a lot. I used to have a Desire and every app was available, but with VDF845 many apps aren´t available on the market.

Is there any way to install apps that i can't find on the market?

Thanks!

EDIT: OK i am now able to install apps using appbrain, but i still get force close of messaging when i try to attach a new voice record from the attach options... And the Wifi issue is still here although i have seen ppl with the same custom rom in Portugal with no problems at all! Could this be some app that messes with my wifi?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sn0opy:
Added soundrecorder seems to be bugged. After start it tells me, my mSD is nearly full. But: Astro -> Menu -> Tools -> SD Card Usage tells: Capacity 3.77G; Used: 322.12M; Free: 3.45G

So it will use phone memory

Any idea?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bas-r:
No bug in soundrecorder for me.

Did you download the 'last version' of the 1.4 rom? (it's been updated)

Soundrecorder works fine on my one, saves recordings on sd card fine.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkzito:
Hi Guys.

Do I need to Wipe to install the 1.4 version?

If so, I just have to use NAND +Ext backup, wipe and restore nand?

Also, my Fancy Widget is not working properly, cannot get weather forecast.

And just one more thing. The Icons on Notification bar seen on the screen at the first page are different than mine.

Is this a mod? Green/Red?

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vebse:
Hey, great! It seems to me that it is really very fast!

Ok, I think you convinced me ;-) But I have some questions regarding the installation of the custom rom.

I have to do all steps from the installation guide:

1. Install Superboot (via Windows PC): The V845 device has to be connected to the PC for this first step?

2. Root The V845

3. Recovery Mode: What´s that?

4. Custom ROM installation

And finally: I added all my contact and telephone numbers with the PC Suite. Is it possible to install these numbers and contacts again after the update?

Sorry for my silly question, but I want to be sure that I have a working mobile after this procedure ;-)

Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TacoLoco:
Yeah you have to do everything.. Go ahead step by step and you will see for what Recovery Mode is..

Edit: ROM working great =)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vebse:

Ok, it seems I have lost my contact, but it doesn´t matter.
