i have read a method to improve U8800 performance in runing Gameloft's games.

the method is change U8800's parameters to make game soft cognize U8800 as HTC Desire HD.since Gameloft has optimized for QUALCOMM CPU,such as HTC Desire HD.

you can change parameters in the file:\system\build.prop,details is in attachment.

then save and quit,turn off and turn on again,it will be work !
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] admantium:
can we overclock the u8800 x5 with the T mobile G2 kernel and HD desire z kernel they are getting around 1800mhz as the specs are same.it would be good to see the X5 at 1800mhz as it kicks most of the top end models standed
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] admantium:
dose this text eddit work for gameloft games or did you just read it some where
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] szviva:
I have tried,it is work,and i never found any bug.More than 300 fans have do thus,most of them said it is work.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] admantium:
did you get modern combat black pegasus to work on the x5 with the text eddit.and what are the benefits of doing this in game play
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] szviva:
i have not play the game you mentioned above.

but when i play games ,such as asphalt6,Real Football 2011,all of them run more smoothly than before.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fruitgull:
From 800 to 1800 mhz. Are you sure?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] admantium:
look on youtube for overklocked t mobile G2 and you will see it unless its fake but i dont think so have a look
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fruitgull:
Cool. 800 seems to be really underclocked in that case. But I wonder how much battery a 1800 mhz cpu would drain :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] admantium:
i dont know but i got my huawei s7 overclocked to 1190mhz from 728mhz and its all right in battery drain not much diff
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] admantium:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] admantium:
one question my mate has a HTC Desire and games are smother on his then on my X5 why they both have adreno 205 anyone know
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fruitgull:
Was it the same way with the S7 in the beginning? No custom ROM support? And then developers took interest in it?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ryronz:
I updated the new kernal that was there, it appears to have broke the market. The market no longer auto updates and attempting to install things from pc does not work (No android devices associated with this account, although it clearly is).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dibb_nz:
I had similar problem with market - either i got a "network error could not connect" or if i did connect as soon as i clicked on anything i'd get a FC a problem with process com.vending - i had installed stockwells recovery and rooted with z4. Tried installing different versions of vending.apk and the market to no avail...also had problem with wifi constantly dropping out.

Eventually took the plunge and installed the huawei (general) update and it fixed both problems, which was rather lucky as I had 'lost' my original backups and factory reset didn't fix anything or take me back to 'factory'.

All in all a rather fun time (in the end) since i bought the phone 4 days ago!!

Looking forward to some custom roms AND OUR NEW sub-forum!!!!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ryronz:
I did end up fixing it while keeping my the kernal update / rom(2degrees general) by doing a Clockwork restore of /data. This seemed to have fixed the market and it shows up in android market on PC :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sanpsa:
Well yes and no... Now i made up my own .zip what has update binary from your update.zip and uptader-script like on yours, but still theme wont change, wiped also cache and dalvik cache.

If you push with adb the invidual files in recovery, then the theme works...

Edit:

Got it working now, only missed one line :)

2.3 theme only for ROM version that has wifi tether on it; U8800HV100R001C00B136

http://www.mediafire.com/?b32ktabgjmgdv4c

Some texts still needs change but not effect usage much, lot better still than original theme.

Think this should be put on hold till we get own section, getting too hard to contain all... :P
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
sorry if this sounds stupid..

i have rooted my x5, and installed setcpu (in an attempt to overclock it)..

but even when i set the max cpu speed to 1GHz, the display still shows 806MHz as max.. and quadrant score did not improve..

are there any other steps that i need to do?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sanpsa:
Think it needs compatible kernel for it to work. Compatible kernel for X5 dont exist yet...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
that means i need to wait for a customised rom to appear then?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] andreasha:
Anyone else having problems with battery drainage? Lose about 20% during night and it says 96% Android-system. Also why doesn't that show the screens usage?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ryronz:
Customized kernal, not necessarily a customised rom :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] the red krawler:
I have a problem with battery drain.

I ended up flashing from the original factory ROM (from huaweidevice.com) and doing absolutely nothing to the phone (no apps, no configuration changes, NOTHING) for 24 hours and still had the battery drain, so its a firmware issue not an app issue.

Bring on cyanogenmod, or similiar I guess. Or the promised 2.3 update....
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sanpsa:
Android has calibration file for battery indicator called batterystats, this file can get messed up in time and when roms/mods are installed, so it can seem that battery is draining fast.

For issues with battery draining you can try:

Charge phone fully, keep charger plugged and boot to recovery. Theres an option to wipe batterystats. Wipe batterystats and reboot with the charger still plugged.

Wait the phone and apps to start and remove charger. Let the battery drain fully so that phone automatically shuts down. Recharge and use normally.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Recka:
I HIGHLY Recommend you use Stockwells 2.0 recovery as it fixes a lot of these issues :) and I'd use it to update the kernel.

I have my forum up for now and still plan to use it as a mirror when we do and as a general forum dedicated to both the X5 and the X6
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] the red krawler:
Have you actually done this? And is there any benefit beyond Gameloft titles? (ie: Do other developers specially target certain brands for hardware acceleration enabling?)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Fruitgull:
I've also installed the Recovery.img finally :) No problem at all backuping my system. Thank you Stockwell.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rufnut:
I am thinking this way too as I have mplayer with Neon support on my U8800, however if I enable it, the app shuts ?

According to some sites Snapdragons have NEON support ?

It still plays my TV recordings ok after I :
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
thx ic.. :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] lslsu27:
i vote for U8800 too
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
i have just downloaded stockwell's recovery.img (and plan to replace the stock image).. is the above update still good to apply?

i read from earlier posts that this update might FC (or cause some other error to) the android market.. and a fix is by restoring the /data section.. not sure if this still holds..

tia.. :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] szviva:
i don't know the theory,but details you can see at :www*hiapk*com/thread-1196753-1-2*html(use" ." to replace "*"),if you can read chinese.

i really do thus,and it is work.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Recka:
I applied the kernel update with the v2 and it went fine. You know it works when you see ideos instead of android
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
As I said in the post with the update, it is created with the Australia Roadhound firmware in mind. The New Zealand firmware is a little different (older revision so more files are different) so if you're coming from that I suggest doing a full backup first then just going straight to the Malay version and then restoring /data. In hindsight I should have made the update a proper update containing the entire system partition but my idea at the time was to make it a small update containing only the files that changed.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Recka:
When in the draining process, do we just use the the phone as normal?

Edit: with the new GB theme, the menu text is still black but the clock is back! :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
thx guys.. im with the Hong Kong version which is using the ideos logo already.. :)

anyway guess i can always check the phone info to see if it is updated..

just to make sure i didnt get it wrong..

(1) a "full backup" means "Backup" in recovery mode, and after successful execution i should be able to find a backup directory created under /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/[timestamp],

(2) "restoring /data" means "Advanced Restore" and then restore /data..

right? tia..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Recka:
that's correct.

restore /data just restores your data partition and nothing else

hi can we speed up the camera shutter speed as its lage

i eddited the text save it then rebooted is that all you do or i did it wrong

games where the same as before a little framey
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Dima_2005:
So, any update on a new section for this phone? Probably gonna buy this phone but have to be sure that it can be easily rooted and there are some custom firmwares (like 2.3)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] snekkarn:
Was wondering this myself. Cant any moderators post a reply on when this is coming? how hard can it be to just post a message so we know that we are heard out there. this post alone got 30k+ views and alot of replies, so if that dosnt prove that this phone deserves its own section. then i dont know what. I think this phone has great potential with the help of xda dev :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
guys lets all be patient.. if u had been the admin of a not-that-tiny forum, u would have realised that its impossible to read/follow every topic on board..

just be patient and lets keep up the good atmosphere here while waiting.. 8)

Could someone tell me why in battery info i get battery health:over voltage

I started to notice this a few days ago after trying the rom from previous posts, the one with wifi tethering .

I did a battery calibration today but no change .

I don't let the phone charge over night or too long, just until it says it is charged

Thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] :
Mine says "over voltage" too, after installing the Malaysia ROM. Don't know why
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ryronz:
I wouldn't worry about it too much, if it wasn't happening on stock ROM its probably just a misconfiguration somewhere.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Recka:
I did the battery calibration (took it to full, wiped bat sats, turned it on until apps all loaded, unplugged and used until dead then fully charged with phone off) went to bed at 1:30am, woke up at 8 and it was dead
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] andreasha:
Did you have the same problem before you applied the new rom or update (which one did use)?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Recka:
I was getting low life 70% from 100% over night before and after the update but i did this and went from 100% to 0%
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Recka:
THe only think that's using the battery is android system which is at 99%...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] admantium:

Interesting piece...

http://www.apksmash.com/x5/apk.bmp

I doubt this would uninstall them but I found the APKs
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
u can remove those apks from /cust/roadhound/au/app..

i did similarly in my hk version..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Recka:
Fair enough :)

With the battery, factory reset (so no ROM's installed) installed the system info widget so I can watch exact percentages and it's dropping, 3% within 5 mins of being idle on home screen
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] admantium:
what games do yous have working
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] admantium:
before removing the standed .apk i would do a backup with titanium :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] rockofclay:
I guess it could be that when you flashed the rom, you didn't have full charge.

The counter could have reset, and when you charged your phone you've gone over the calibrated value.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Recka:
I am re-doing the calibration as I wiped the stats on low bat so it may be out of whack, I am in the process of charging now

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Reign1:
Yes, please share. Thanks!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] korpenkraxar:
I also figured it out. You need root for this one. The procedure I used is as follows (as root):

remount /system as read-write (rw)

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system

temporarly change permissions of the file /system/build.prop from 644 to 666

chmod 666 /system/build.prop

edit the following line in /system/build.prop:

from

ro.config.hw_RemindWifiToPdp=true

to

ro.config.hw_RemindWifiToPdp=false

save

reset permissions:

chmod 644 /system/build.prop

restart phone

After remounting the /system partition rw, I installed and used "SU File Manager & Terminal" on the Market to both change permissions and launch some text editor to edit the file. Fiddling around with file permissions may not be necessary if you figure out how to edit the file as root (which I never did).

Now it works great. A few seconds after Wifi is disconnected or turned off, mobile data starts by itself.

Transferring from XDA Ideos X5 thread

I posted this in the Ideos X5 forum before I knew that this thread existed. There's much more info here, in case you're wondering why I'm moving to this thread. :)

I bought one the other day, here in Western Australia.

Been using it for several hours now total and so far have NOT been able to find any menu items for wi-fi tethering.

This post is coming using USB Tethering which worked right out of the box. Tethered to an Asus EEE 701 Netbook running Ubuntu Linux 10.04.

So, if I can't find wi-fi tethering menu item, I'll need to get root access and install barnacle again.

Compared to my Sony Ericsson X8, that I've had since late last year, it's blindingly fast! The big screen is nice too!

So yes, I'm all in favour of a dedicated forum ... I reckon that the Ideos X5 / U8800 is going to be a big seller, at least here in Australia where I paid $349 for an unlocked, unbranded (vanilla rom) with version 2.2.1 rom.

huaweidevice dot com community

I've started a thread on the Huawei Device company community site (at least I think so, it doesn't show yet but maybe a moderator needs to approve it).

It might be a good way to get help from Huawei Device company staff, we'll see. Im hoping that Huawei will encourage community collaboration in development and support of the Ideos X5 / U8800 phone.

Why not ask for a forum of our own there too?

I had to resort to using a M$ Windoze machine to view it but the page can be found at:-

I rooted mine with superoneclick v1.7 without issues. As mentioned earlier in this thread the chipset is the same as the HTC Desire Z. I rooted mine to try and get rid of those stupid game demo things that come with the phone but I they are not listed in /system/apps so I don't know what to do now lol. I'm new to android but I'm fairly proficient using Linux. What does clockworkmod do exactly? Why can't you just cp or dd the directory you are trying to backup to sdcard? Also, does anyone know exactly how much ram this device has? I Have found conflicting reports of 384 and 512MB.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] langers1972:
The ones in NZ are sold with this caveat re WIFI tethering, suspect it's a firmware upgrade:

*WiFi Hotspot: please note that the first software release for the X5 does not contain the Android WiFi 'Hotspot' feature meaning that your X5 cannot act as a WiFi Hotspot for other devices (e.g. laptop) to share its mobile data connection. However the standard WiFi function of the X5 itself is unaffected and works very well. There will be a subsequent software release in April/May which will add the WiFi Hotspot function and we will contact all 2degrees users to provide simple upgrade instructions

I have had the U8800/Ideos X5 for a few months now and I can't say almost anything negative from it :D Especially with that price! 279€ in Finland (about 400$).
