Hi Seed8038,
did you test if HD caller ID or Full Screen Caller ID applications worked fine in previous versions of B876? Or in other ROMs?
I don't know these applications but I can test if they really works.
Regards

No, I have not tested the application on other rom. In my phone the only original (Huawei)rom and then only from you, from version 1.0.
About these programs, I became interested just now...
I have no idea for why don't worked. And just for testing dont want flash other rom. Therefore, I ask if anyone has a similar problem.

I have a problem with 2.3: both with Go Launcher and Launcher Pro, when I restart the phone, the launcher doesn't manage to load widgets and, instead of the space reserved for the widget, an error message appears. Possible solutions?
EDIT
It also happens with Zeam Launcher... it probably happens with every launcher.

There is one solution to solve your problem: delete the B876_KALO_v2.3.zip, download it again, put your device in recovery mode and follow the installation steps on the first post of this discussion.
I never had similar problem...
Again: don't try to jump a step. Steps have been written not for a strange case, but they are written because it's necessary to be followed.

I have no jumped any step. I think I found the problem: I reflashed the rom and I tried to reboot the phone before restoring apps with Titanium and it seems that the problem doesn't return; then, i restored apps and the problem returns. Uffffffffff, I have to restore apps without Titanium :S

But it's the only way to restore apps quickly. I like to try a lot of rom, without Titanium it would be impossible.

Try to install the applications manually , and then restore only data with titanium .......
And for me titanium is a major application , and it sounds very weird , that gives problems ....
Strange , I can't understand that titanium gives problems ....

I guess you did a launcher restore which tried to restore the widgets in the exact previous places they were be. But even if the application is installed, doesn't recognize it's widget(something like ''error'' message).
If so:
Try to restore with Titanium the apps that use the error widgets. Delete these widgets from your homescreens (drag and drop them in recycle bin). Then create the widgets again (long single tap in any homescreen).

People, titanium backup restores previous versions of apk files.
Since v2.2 all system applications are quite different because I removed a lot of unused files/folders.
So, if you are flashing v2.2 or v2.3 (they are the same except for the kind of mount /cust) it's not a good thing to restore a backup with titanium.
Of course not a good thing because it's made with Titanium but I just exaplined the main reason.
Titanium will bring problems if you try to restore a backup made before v2.2 or with other ROMs.
I am not saying that Titanium is bad.
You (generic new user) have to wipe and flash v2.3 and manually install all your applications starting from zero.
Otherwise you will have bugs and unstability.
Then you make decision, but please don't write your issue here if you experience problems after a restore with Titanium :)
I advert you!

Regards

Hello Kalo!Are you about to release a new version soon with any useful improvements or new stuff?

I'm about to install 2.3 and really customize it,tune it and stick with it.I really like your rom and want to follow the updates but it's really difficult to follow up with clean installs every week or so..I know most of users agree with this one.

So are you working on something really useful right now (performance wise) or should i go on with 2.3 ?

Things would be much easier if your releases were updates,without re-installing,it's such a turn-off having to install 50 to 100 apps every time and go through all their settings over and over for each and every one of them.It really takes so many hours.

It would be no prob if i trusted titanium or similar but that is not the case!
So..! 2.3 or wait for some days?!

I really appreciate your work and effort that you put into this project,cheers!

Hi,
Thank you for this post! This is a stable release and I think I'll release a new version by the next month maybe...
So you can install this version without thinking to a new coming release.

    - Edited the carrier name "Sonaecom - Serviços de Comunicações, S.A." into "Optimus";


    PREREQUISITES - ATTENTION PLEASE

    a) ROM
    Gingerbread 2.3.5 Stock Huawei version (B512, B521, B540, B552, B565, B572)
    or any customized Gingerbread ROM (CyanogenMod, MIUI, 2.3.5, 2.3.6, 2.3.7)
    or any ICS Rom (DZO Aurora, Genokolar MIUI v4);

    b) Recovery
    CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7
    If you have the stock recovery, you will not be able to install any customized ROM. So, you have to do these steps: download the CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7 (previous link to download the file), power off your device and turn on into Pink Screen Mode (holding down VOL+, VOL- and Power button). Plug in your usb cable to your pc and wait for the automount of the new drive. Navigate to the /image folder and rename the stock "recovery.img" into "recovery.bak".
    Now simply copy the CWM Recovery into the /image folder and be sure that its name is "recovery.img", otherwise you have to rename it into "recovery.img".
    Unmount the periferic, remove the usb cable and extract the battery to shutdown the phone. That's all.
    You can verify the new recovery installation entering in recovery mode (holding down VOL+ and Power button).


    INSTALLATION PROCEDURE FOR FULL PACKAGE

    0) Make sure that you have installed all prerequisites;
    1) Download the zip file of the rom with your pc;
    2) Shutdown your smartphone and to be really sure unplug the battery;
    3) Insert your battery and power on your smartphone into recovery mode holding down VOL+ and the power button (be sure that you have the CWM 5.0.2.7);
    4) Go to advanced ---> reboot recovery;
    5) At the new recovery boot go to "mount and storage";
    6) Mount usb storage;
    7) Plug in your usb-microusb cable;
    8) Copy the downloaded zip file into the external sdcard;
    9) Wipe data/factory;
    10) Wipe cache;
    11) Wipe Dalvik Cache;
    12) [OPTIONAL if you experience a huge battery drain only] Wipe Battery Stats;
    13) Go to "mount and storage", then "format /system";
    14) Install zip from sdcard;
    15) choose zip from sdcard and select the downloaded zip file;
    16) Install complete!
    17) reboot system now.

    Please wait about 2 minutes for the install process and be patient for the first boot.
    At the first boot the default language has been set to English. This choise because the rom needs to be more international possible.
    Anyway the rom is multilanguage and offers the default available languages of the stock Android base-rom.
    The default keyboard is the stock Android Latin.

    well done
    i'm glad , because you put the ,, patched libsqlite ,, in your update (1.7) ...
    its a great work from ,, mik_os ( a great developer )
    i think that this version , gonna make even happier the users of your rom...
    i'm a fan of your work , even if i'm steel riding my horse ... :)
    congratsulations again ..

    for those who still wondering what it does
    read this and i hope you'll understand.......

    Android phones as the underlying database using sqlite3. sqlite3 writes efficiency is very low, because the sync feature turned on by default, and fsync() must be performed after each insertion, the resulting system efficiency is low, and the disk life is reduced.

    I try to disable sync feature by default in exchange for greater IO performance and reduce disk consumption. While doing so may result in data integrity problems, but I still like to use it because most of the sqlite insert action can be completed within a few seconds, not too much to consider issues such as sudden power-down.

    After modified, the time of insert 2000 records to sqlite3 db, from 1m11s reduce to 2s.

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

    With Android applications, the database operation is non-persistent, normal step in app is:
    1.open db
    2.do read/write
    3.close db
    with step3, the data in cache will be flush to disk. so user will not notice any sudden lag, always smooth.

    With SYNC-ON, the db operation like this:
    1.open db
    2.1. write a record/do a transcation
    2.2. fsync()
    2.3. write a record/do a transcation
    2.4. fsync()
    .....
    3.close db/fsync()

    with SYNC-OFF, operation like this:
    1.open db
    2.1 write a record/do a transcation
    2.2 write a record/do a transcation
    ....
    3. close db/fsync()

    So, no-sync can significantly save IO time.

    i was made this for kalo's v1 , but i think its the same,, so you can use it ....
    unzip , and open the folder ..
    first make a BACKUP ,, and then put it via root explorer , in , system/framework .. (replace it with the existing one)
    give permissions ( rw-r--r-- ) , and reboot your phone ..
    dont worry , it needs 2-3 minutes to boot again ...

    THIS IS ONLY FOR TERMAGAZIS
    IF HE TEST IT AND ITS OK ,,

    well.. friend , korekore1 ,, is right about MIUI dialer , its more than a theme ... ;)

    so i decide to make a dialer for , KALO V1.8 ,, and probably gonna work also for V1.6 and V1.7 .....
    i took the .png's from , bluemagic theme ...

    THEMED DIALER ... download
    http://www.mediafire.com/?eep3y6km85m57fe

    and the , themed settings.apk , gonna work also for V1.8 ...
    http://www.mediafire.com/?7lkzal5skit8hvl

    HOW TO INSTALL , the themed dialer ...

    first , unzip ..
    then , via root explorer , COPY , the contacts.apk and phone.apk , and PASTE them to ,, system ,, give permissions (rw-r--r-- ) and then ,MOVE , both apps to ,, app ,, and replace them ... reboot and enjoy ...
    the path is ,, system/app ,, but we have to do the above trick to avoid force close before we give permissions ,, thats why we give permissions to ,, system ,, and then we move them to ,, app .... ( easy) :cool:

    if someone could make screenshots , i appreciate it .... :)
