i am also interested to try the 2.3 rom, if it work (nevermind the kbd issue, for now)

i'am waiting for expert deploy for my u8300, i have test more mod but the keyboard don't work when android is upgrade to 2.2 or 2.3.

i suppose driver native on kernel for keyboad is the problem.

Have you tried to install the Huawei IME?

I found HwIME.odex and HwIME.apk in /system/app/

libjni_hwime.so was in /system/lib/

Download them here:

dl.dropbox.com/u/4997718/Huawei.zip

It's worth trying, even if it may be in the kernel.

Maybe there are some more files, but that was what i found.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TuoNonno:
Give me the links of the two roms and I'll try to port the keyboard kernel extension to fix this problem :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TuoNonno:
I think that I managed how to do it...

basically it's quite simple, you just need to extract recovery.img from the u8100 rom and flash it to you phone trough terminal or adb with push command.

In this way you mantain the eclair kernel (boot.img) and you flash the froyo system.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] calippo74:
i tested the rom from huawei ascend, and work fine, but i need the remap keyboard and enable rotation screen.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TuoNonno:
Guys there are serious RIL problems with .29 kernel and froyo... dunno why but phone lose signal after some minutes of activity and I can't find out why Oo.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] calippo74:
you have test the rom with name "Huawei_Ascend_Android_2.2_With_Wifi"?

is very work rom but need the enable rotation screen and remap keyboard.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gaz14:
I have a spare U8300 and am happy to test your ROM to see how it goes on a different device, network, i have an Australian "Boost" U8300 using optus network.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TuoNonno:
Let me explain the problem:

In order to enable the hardware keyboard we need to mantain the .29 original kernel from huawei and work only on the system part of the rom, that's why I'm having so many problems...

Many roms works with the kernel shipped with them but we lose hardware keyboard in this way.

Without the source code of the kernel it is impossible to compile a new kernel for froyo :/

@calippo: can you give me a link to download the rom? (Huawei_Ascend_Android_2.2_With_Wifi)

atm with the hybrid rom I've created everything works but camera/wifi/ril/g-sensor, but at least we can boot froyo with the stock .29 kernel and I think that it's a good starting point
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] znial:
good, almost it is a starting point, ty to develop for us this on difficoult phone...

don't give up, and if you need testing or anything also that a newb can do don't esitate to ask :D

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Hampa_D:
any news on this device? just got one yesterday for around 50 usd new in box.

gonna be my spair phone, i must admit it's pretty sweet for the low low price i paid
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] znial:
it is a great (small) phone, it has the features of most expansive devices (gps, wifi, accellerometer and proximity sensors, qwerty, cam with flashled, trakball)

but it seems that due a firmware lack it isn't possible to get the qwerty and sensors working on froyo... and that makes the phone useless...

i hope some clever and smart developer fix this and we will get a newer OS for our little toy!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Hampa_D:
i wouldnt say useless maybe less usable but i really like it anyway. a small phone with big features to really small price (in sweden at least)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] LucaAlin:
Any news?

This phone (U8300) suport live wallpapers? I have instaled some live wallpapers but i cant find live wallpapers.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Hampa_D:
If anyone is missing Live Wallpaper it can be fixed. you need to have your phone rooted and im not going to give you a guide on that.

Download http://www.mediafire.com/?rq5iic4db7awt2j and add the files you want in the / system / app (I've used root explorer).

To get Live wallpaper needed files is LiveWallpapers.apk and LiveWallpapersPicker.apk.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] LucaAlin:
Tx, all i need it was to instal livewallpaperspicker. Now it works well
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] znial:

I also would like to buy this little

thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Hampa_D:
not heard or read any news about new roms etc but if the price is around 50€ i would recommend it highly.

about the battery i have not seen any bigger
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zio:silvio:
no price in Naples Italy is 80 € in a shop wind.

I'd be torn between him and U8150 ideos to 100 €

What do you think is better?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Hampa_D:
actually i don't know. i bought this phone as an extra phone when my lg optimus 2x was returned as DOA and now i got an full refund instead. can't really tell you if the ideos is better or not since i never used it but if it's only a 20€ price difference i'd go for the ideos. in my case it would be an 50€ difference and then i think it wouldn't be worth it.

get my point?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lugiber:
Just bought this phone. For €50 It's the deal of a life time!

Can't wait to start hacking it! Hopefully there are some roms coming along for it. I really prefer the standard android roms to the custom ones that the manufacturers force upon you.

Good luck with the development, there are many people anxiously awaiting your results! :-)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lugiber:
Just a re-cap on what i have posted on another thread on this forum...

There is a froyo beta from huawei for the U8500 that you can install on the U8300.

Unfortunatly the geosens doesn't work so the phone displays everything in portrait. Gps doesn't seem to work either. But its much faster than 2.1. So its almost worth it!

You'll find installation instructions here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=942971

Rooting information is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=966624

Also the keyboard layout doesn't match so you'll have to replace the file named:

qwerty.kcm.bin

located in:

/system/usr/keychars/

With the one attached to this post. Root explorer will (apparently) do that for you. I haven't tried doing it with root exporer (did it with adb). But i have tested the keyboard layout and it works just fine.

Hope this helps in some way and stimulates develompent of a custom rom!

Any luck with a froyo rom for huawei u8300?

recently I bought this little mobile from sweden.. It seems that it's not such a common phone and there is no much developping on it. Is there a solution to flash just a normal u8300 rom eclair/froyo without the applications from the swedish provider?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thepett:
thanks lugiber,

but as I understand is not a fully funcional rom..

so there is no need of installing a recovery I guess.. the motorola charm almost the same specs with u8300. do u think a rom would work on the huawei?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thepett:
so basically I could use whatever firmware for u8500 and u8150 without a problem on my u8300? Can u confirm that?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lugiber:
Well, the 8150, 8300 and 8500 are three different phones. So just because the 8500 kernel happens to work on the 8300 doesn't mean that the 8150 will. Or do you have any information that says it does?

Anyway, i have been using the 8500 beta for two days now and it works just fine. Except for the screen rotation. And you'll have to download Lcddensity and change to 120 in order to get proper screen rendering.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thepett:
Hey Peter,

I installed the froyo beta u8500 and although the screen stays on porttrait the gsensor does work on the camera app. So maybe we can get in the system and change permanently the setting to the screen to be using only landscape mode.

i have no idea how to do it tho i will keep looking..

i found on youtube something regarding android.manifest.xml and change permanently the screen orientation

or i guess this is just for .apk

damn I am so nooB in this...

cheers,

Petros
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lugiber:
It does seem that everything is working. Even the gps. From what i have understood while discussing this phone on a swedish forum the problem isn't the gyro but rather that it isn't enabled in froyo.

I have also tried several screen rotating apps without finding one that actually works.

But i have asked the developers of the 8150 to include support for the u8300. Perhaps they are kind enough to help us out. That would really be awesome because it would not only give us an awesome rom, but also multitouch!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] magnusjjj:
We are looking at the huaweii u8300 for a small larp/arg projekt.

Here in sweden the devices are dirt cheap, at about 81 dollars.

We are looking into getting debian to run at them, but so far we are stuck.

I would personally be willing to buy and send some of these phones to interrested developers, if it in any way aids the effort to get stuff going :).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thepett:
...and some app do work on landscape mode with the froyo beta firmaware.. for example angry birds, or changing the settings in the internet browser do allow it showing on landscape mode as well... so what if we edit all .apk to force using the landscape mode editing the android.manifest.xml?

anyway, switch back to the original firmware for the moment and wifi stopped working. any ideas on that?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] krst:
Damn, was not happy to read this, as i just experience the same thing!!! Wifi not working after downgrading! This means that it is not fully downgradable and that is not to non expected i would guess! And i do think so to because i can se that after downgrading in the settings menues some of the menues have changed and look alike the 8500 rom.... Lets hope then there will come a new rom soon or someone figures out how to revert the boatloder from 2.2 to 2.1 again....

This ends up to be not the best decisions made when it comes to testing a new rom, but still a classic misstake :-)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thepett:
I got the solution krst!

step 1

boot the u8500 2.2 firmware. Install z4root and then the root explorer!

with the root explorer copy the file wpa_supplicant.conf from the system/etc/wifi to your sd card.

step2

boot the original firmware! I personally prefer the polish one since it has many language and I like the boot animation but its up to you. Install again the z4root and the rootexplorer.. once done, copy the file wpa_supplicant.conf to the system/etc/wifi....

and there you go, enjoy!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] krst:
Aha many many thanks!

Was thinking of it beeing something like that witht he config file but was little bit lazy to try it out, will test it later today!!

Instead i tried a CM7 mod for the 8500 with android 2.3 instead from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=934931

and I would say that it is as good as the 8500 froyo running on the 8300 rom but in this version actually the screen rotation is working :-) The only real problem as i see it for this rom actually not beeing pretty ok is that the touch response in the screen becomes very bad. Guess that is a combination of that the 8300 has a resistive screen and other resolution..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] znial:
i'd like to try this cm7 rom, but cannot dload from ifolder...:( (it could nice if someone upload it in other place pls)

anyway, what are the pro and the cons from this rom?

what works and what doesn't?

this is an intersting start point :D

for the display response have you tried something like LCD Density?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] krst:
use google translate to translate the page. Basically you first have to klick one of the sponsors links, then you have to wait 30 seconds (you will see ticking) before you can download it, took me a couple of tries to figure it out but it does work!

No the lcd density i changed to 120 as in the original rom, the problem is however i think/guess as you cant really calibrate the screen and the screen of the u8300 is pretty bad from the begining it is pretty lousy now even more with wrong softwere :-) It becomes very dificult to click on anything small on the screen...

To be honest, if this version was cm6 it would be much better, the phone bearly can handle the graphical load of gingerbread even with all graphics turned off. In the end of the day, there are not really any big benifits of running this as i see it, to make a good froyo rom/cm6 for the u8300 however would be something as this will alow the JIT compilier and overal really improved software response as we saw was the case with the froyo beta for the 8500 that we flashed.

Good luck...
