[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Necroman_AI:
Hi freddy, i don't know if you read my previous post on page 49, but there is a bug on green_modv3.zip since it has some red bars (volume, loading pages on browser, ...).

Also, could it be possible on the next ROM to include the standard gallery (as 1.6.2) but allow to install 3d gallery and keep the two of them? (because if we install or flash 3d gallery on 1.6.2 it will replace the standard gallery)

Thanks again and keep up the great job!

Also on these ROM versions i notice that mi wifi issues are decreased. Although it's difficult to turn wifi on at first try, i can usually turn it on at second or third try. On previous versions sometimes i couldn't turn it on at 10th try! (maybe something you changed on 1.5 version as the change log refers something for south africa).

94Mb.... Official Froyo for Huawei U8150?

Let's time to port! :)

Firstly let me congratulate for this work.

I try to find the hungarian language under Settings / Localisation menu, but I couldn't find.

Can I somehow install this langauge ?

When I pushed the new Custom ROM in to my device , this langauge disappeared from this menu.

Thank you for your answer.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Necroman_AI:
Have you tried morelocale2?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zozoven:
Ohh, nice thank you.

This apk is very good forme :)

I have got another question, I installed the New 1.6.2 custom rom and I get the following blinking error message when I turnod on firstly :

"android core process stopp working "

I installed all of them custom rom with wipe and this problem came out firstly.

How can I solve this issue ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Necroman_AI:
First wipe cache. Then just flash the custom rom. If you get some force close on an app. go to definitions, applications and chose the app that gives you error. Clean the cache or data of that app and then try again, It will surely solve your problem...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] firetrap:
this custom ROM have apn's for Portugal?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Necroman_AI:
You can install APN Portugal from the Market to set all Portuguese carriers...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zozoven:
Thank, It was worked. I wiped as you wrote and it is working now as designed :)))
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TacoLoco:
There's also a new ROM for 845 on your second link:

U8120	U8120 V100R001GHAC02B233(Ghana Vodafone)	Host Software	2010-09-03

But probably nothing interesting..

Edit:

Nothing to loose so I will try Ghana ROM to see if Froyo inside ^^
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkplace:
surely, 2.1 for Ghana Vodafone 845

The interesting is Unpack the UPDATE.APP included in the 'dload' folder

And of course in the PDF file, this is the result after flashing:

Somebody know how can Unpack the UPDATE.APP ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TacoLoco:
:confused: You got Froyo on your 845??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkplace:
I wish I could..

the picture is included in the PDF of the update, to verify that installs 2.2

I'm also thinking try just the update how if was the U8150, but surely didn't work..

The interesting is to Unpack the UPDATE.APP and then port it.

Uninstall LauncherPro and install ADW.Launcher.

K, the only thing i've found is a nice tool made by Dave Da illest 1. We could use that, but ppl have to sign it manually. Np for most people here, but not for dummies :\

1.6.2.rom does not show the caller's image. Solution?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TylerDurden20779:
hey folks!

first of all, thanks for the cool rom and the great community here!

the 845 is my first android phone and it's doing pretty fine with v1.5 at the moment! i like it!

i just encountered one problem:

if i add a new event in the calendar app it doesn't sync with my google calendar and doesn't appear there.

the other way round works perfectly. if i add something in the google calendar it appears instantly on my phone. and even if i delete this on the phone then, it is deleted in googel calendar either.

so the problem is just with new events from the phone.

anybody got a solution for that?

or is it a general bug?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkplace:
Extracted the UPDATE.APP from the Huawei Ideos ROM using Perl Script:

http://android.modaco.com/content/t...data-app-was-new-version-of-split-updata-pl/#

Really usefull stuffs, but the interesting is in the boot_versions.txt

U7625V100R001C85B100_BOOT

U8110V100R001C85B101_BOOT

U7625V100R001C85B004_BOOT

U7625V100R001C85B005_BOOT

U8100V100R001C109B101_BOOT

U7625V100R001C85B100_BOOT

U7625V100R001C85B006_BOOT

C8150V100R001C126B805_BOOT

Not mentioning about Vodafone 845 (Huawei U8120), but seems boot support for another similar like U8110...

and in the upgradable_versions.txt

U7625V100R001C85B100

U8110V100R001C85B101

U8100V100R001C109B101

U7625V100R001C85B004

U7625V100R001C85B005

U7625V100R001C85B006

Again same mentions, seems that the ROM could update to froyo some Huawei terminals...

So surely we can port this Froyo ROM to Vodafone 845
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TacoLoco:
Great lets hope for froyo ROM =)

BTW we can see the interesting of this system.img of the U8150 Froyo ROM.

Enjoy.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TacoLoco:
As I'm an absolute noob in coding and Linux, two questions from me:

1. /lib/hw <- drivers?

2. if identical hardware, "just" build.prop has to be customized?

thx
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkplace:
system.img 'unyaffed' uploaded!

U8150 UPDATE.APP -> system.img -> unyaffed:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=26GS5ANT

so time to work babies ;)

Taco, not clever for me, isn't only change 'two things' and all will works...

needs to see the hardware difference FIRST, and then try to work with it.

EDIT: the link is not a Froyo rom for 845, even isn't signed, so don't download to try flash with it, NOT WORKING

These files are the needed files to work in a future ROM of Froyo in Vodafone 845, but nothing yet.

FRESH NIGHTLY NEWS

Tested the Froyo ROM of Ideos (U8150) with fastboot, Splashed boot screen, first hang.... and now is working!! dialing working, sound working, wifi not working (need coding), 3G working, GPS working...

EDITED: Runs so light.. oh my god.. freddy, forget more 2.1 versions and do these steps:

posted by rickywyatt @ MoDaCo:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

remember that i take no blam if you brick your phone

bug remember there are bugs

then you need to do this

first download this

then you will need ActivePerl then you will need android sdk

ok now you got evey thing you need

1 install android sdk

2 install ActivePerl

2 open cmd then drag split_updata.pl to it then pess speace bar than drag update.app then press enter

(I preffer using cmd -> perl split_updata.pl UPDATE.APP)

5 goto C:\Users\xxxxxx\output

6 look for boot.img & system.img (& userdata.img)

7 drag these files and put them into C:\[...]\android-sdk-windows\tools

8 then open cmd and enter

(NOTE: the phone will be in bootloader mode (holding volume down + End) and recognized by windows in bootloader))

C:\[...]\android-sdk-windows\tools\fastboot.exe flash system C:\[...]\android-sdk-windows\tools\system.img

C:\[...]\android-sdk-windows\tools\fastboot.exe flash boot C:\[...]\android-sdk-windows\tools\boot.img (2.6.32.9 kernel, you can test 2.6.29 using another boot.img)

C:\[...]\android-sdk-windows\tools\fastboot.exe flash userdata C:\[...]\android-sdk-windows\tools\userdata.img

C:\[...]\android-sdk-windows\tools\fastboot.exe reboot

and wait untill untill your mini pulse boots and now you have android 2.2

-----------------------------------------------------------------

after first boot, skip the tutorials quicky, could hangs some time until could load the dashboard.

Knowns bugs:

- WiFi not working

- TrackPad not working (also not working the button)

- Notification Bar causes crashes

- Bluetooth working but no MAC info (not tested yet)

- No screen calibrating options

:: Please report bugs for bugtracking, thanks :)

DON'T PRESS THE TRACKPAD BUTTON! IT HANGS!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sn0opy:
What about replacing the wifi app with the 2.1 app?

btw. who's hosting the VF845 custom roms on Dropbox? I'm mirroring all roms since 1.4 and every file was uploaded in < 1 sec, which means, they're allready on DB.

// oh wait, forget it. Drivers will be in another dir
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TacoLoco:
Now this is great, good work darkplace! Downloading..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkplace:
For the people who wants to test and support the bugtracking i'm gonna make easier the things:

HOWTO Froyo @ Vodafone 845

1. Download this file (contains lastest boot.img kernel, system.img and userdata.img)

2. Download Android SDK extract the zip on C:\, open SDK Setup.exe, activate fetching (in settings) and update all the possible packets (optional).

3. Put boot.img, system.img and userdata.img in \tools folder of the android-sdk

4. Make a NAND Backup of your actual ROM (using recovery and Nandroid)

5. Put your phone at Bootloader mode (shutdown, and start holding VolumeDown + EndCall buttons), the system will recognize new hardware like Bootloader, let it finish installing drivers.

6. Open command prompt (Windows Start -> cmd.exe) and goto C: , then to the sdk folder and do the following:

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\fastboot.exe flash system C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\system.img

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\fastboot.exe flash boot C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\boot.img

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\fastboot.exe flash userdata C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\userdata.img

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\fastboot.exe reboot

The system will reboot and starting loading IDEOS booting screen. Make sure to skip the tutorial steps and the date steps Just skipping all to start with the dashboard becouse sometimes hangs.

TrackPad button not working and causes hang-reboot in the phone

Knowns bugs:

- WiFi not working

- TrackPad not working (also not working the button)

- Notification Bar causes crashes

- Bluetooth working but no MAC info (not tested yet)

- No screen calibrating options
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] apuka73:
trackpad problem is outside of other problems?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkplace:
is stable, but it's a bit hardware-sensitive, specially with the trackpad (try to don't touch it)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] apuka73:
back to the original ROM loaded in the usual way?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkplace:
restore nandroid backup with recovery
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] capmaan:
i would like to flash that FroYo ROM. But why you don't pack it in to a ZIP?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kelzsoca:
does wifi work?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Andy_S:
Hey Darkplace, GREAT news! One thing (or two) that may interest many ppl around here is... is EDGE working in Froyo? Can you test it? Thanks!

That second thing is BTS-based navigation (when GPS signal is not available) - is the bug fixed too? aka load Google Maps in building so you won't have GPS signal and locate yourself - if the position is somewhat accurate or absolutelly - few kilometers - off
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christian Buchner:
This thread is the reason I just ordered a Vodafone 845 (...and the price of 99 Euros)

I think we may need a mirror of the fastboot image. Megaupload says "file is not available".

EDIT: oops, I retried clicking the link now and suddenly it appears to work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkplace:
See the knowns bugs in the topic. WiFi not working yet.

Basicly becouse i'm very noob about signing and repack .zip packages, this mainly, the 2nd question is about not sure if the 2.2 ROMS gets the same routine to update package that 2.1 ROMS using recovery, so avoid problems, the 3rd question is becouse this is a quicklier way if you have the sdk and you uses fastboot.

Not sure about EDGE, becouse i was using 3G detected by default, I made no wipe so all the APNs is working at least in 3G

About BTS-based navigation not tested yet, but Google showns my city localization so GPS is surely working.

Fastboot is included in SDK\Tools of Android SDK, the .img files are shared in megaupload, deleted the older system.img unyaffed in the another post so feel free to make your own Test-Cooked image ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Andy_S:
edge - the problem in original firmware is that the EDGE is disabled by manufacturer, so could you please test it ? Can you also test navigation without GPS?

and mainly - do you plan to hack drivers for wifi&joystick ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkplace:
I'm gonna test EDGE and GPS in a while, time to do some social things :-P

Hacking drivers? I'm not a coder, I was scripter some time ago, so the hard way will be to the coding masters, take sure will not take a long time to port ;) (anyway I will test mixing some stable drivers at FroYo, later the results).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Andy_S:
Great, thanks for all the news ;) i will be hoping for any good news.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkplace:
@freddy:

Are you work in progress with FroYo ROM? It's becouse I think I can create a pseudo-stable version of Froyo, but if you're making yet I stop it and helps you in the way of the possible.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dreamshadow:
Hey all,

I'm new here and to the ROM modding. So far I installed freddies mod on my 845 and swapt some programs and the bootscreen inside the zip package. The signing part to get it installing is really easy :).

It would be nice if we could make a flashable zip file from the froyo version so its easier to replace things like wifi driver. With the program "unyaffs" its possible to extract the system.img. We also have a boot.img and signing the whole zip wouldn't be a problem. I guess we only need a up modified "update-script" file for the "META-INF" folder. Does anyone know how this works?

@Darkplace: I read on a dutch forum Freddy will be on holidays for a few weeks, so he might not respond for while?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkplace:
i'm gonna try to make a build.prop linking to WiFi and TouchPad Eclair drivers to see if will working, but still don't know how are working these files...

We needs freddy, i'm not a master :P
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] [GER]Roxxor:
Hi,

my v845 will arrive monday or tuesday :)

And im very interested in modifiyng the phone... Do you have some ressources where i can get a little bit into rom-cooking?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkplace:
zipped ROM version almost done, trying to fix update-script to finish properly the ROM flashing... testing results..

I'm having problems with the routine 'set permissions' in the update-script (i'm basing on the update-script of Mr Edition 1.6), due to root access surely... anybody knowns how it works? thanks.

EDIT: Hangs in the bootsplash, I Will try on a Vanilla FroYo version, anybody knowns where can I download a vanilla update.zip ?

Cooking .zip-based rom file for Vodafone 845 Unstable, but working, in a few minutes the result..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TacoLoco:
Cool I will try it before I go to bed.. One question what do you mean by unstable, I think you mean the issues you already mentioned or some new caused by zipped rom..?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkplace:
I'm Uploading to megaupload the .zip file for testing.

Unstable means that if you're impatient and don't wait, the system will reboot-hang

TouchScreen is not calibrated that all, i'll try executing TSCalibration.apk but calling works perfectly, and only included the SpanishPack.apk (only chinese-english), so if you wish you can cook your own rom with your fixes ;)

Feel free to use and test, also sure feel free to bug report ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] [GER]Roxxor:
is WLAN working?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkplace:
FroYourself 0.1a @ Vodafone 845

Extremely Unstable, so better try using fastboot with the SDK, anyway feel free to try it with Recovery Flashing (MAKE SURE YOU MAKE A NAND BACKUP).

WiFi not working... see bugtracking in old posts Roxxor.

EDIT: Now is very very unstable and causes constantly forced reboots, the best way to TRY it USING THIS GUIDE step by step.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bravesoul:
My Wifi is working well, which encription do you use?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkplace:
bravesoul, I think he's telling not working at Froyo port of U8150, i'm gonna try using another kernel to see if it's more stable...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TacoLoco:
Well flashed it the manual way and seeing IDEOS boot screen.. Problems as you mentioned.. Market works, but had to switch to TouchPal to type in Google Account..

But I'm having Froyo on my 845 thanks man =) Good luck with new kernel btw
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkplace:
I'm trying to making a custom boot.img with android-msm-2.6.29 kernel to see if it's more stable than 2.6.32.9 included... it's a little bored but at least we'll doing something until freddy come backs again ;)

Will this ROM unlock my Magic? I recently updated my ROM to the new HTC Sense hoping it would unlock my phone from Three to Optus.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] [GER]Roxxor:
so I did some research on the wifi problem... does the 845 have the same wifi module like the t-mobile pulse?

if yes i have found an interesting thread how to compile the drivers for the t-mobile pulse, because they are not under the GPL

ok.. im not allowed to post links Oo

i hope you dont mind darkplace and TacoLoco that I send you the link with a mail... have to go to sleep now.... 3:45AM in germany xD

Hope my device arrives today :)

I mean the possibility to configure a proxy server when the V845 is connected via Wlan to the internet. Here in my office I have an access point but the connection can be only used through a proxy server.

The messaging app is in english language. Nearly everthings else works in german language, but not this app. Can I change that?

THX. :)

Original app-s no good, I'm Hungary. The language is Engish. :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] freddyemmer:
i noticed that problem.. I can't find the problem why the message app is not in any other language.. I'm going to look at it..

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vebse:
Also many thanks from me :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
Yes. No offense but I don't like the idea of downloading binary images somewhere from the web and not being sure there is no harm.

I noticed that the device is a lot faster with your rom, really cool.

Is it possible that USB debugging is broken?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Maxrunner:
To root this phone do i need to install superboot? or can i just go straight to where it says "Root the V845 (via Windows PC)"?

one problem not with your rom of course but more with huawei phones is switching from cdrom to usb device any idea how to do that?

and can you make the top frame inverted? black background and white icons instead of white background and black icons? well i find this out eventually lol

nice rom thank you i will use it ...
