Any brave soul willing to take on updating this ROM with the later CM7 changes?

nope.avi

genokolar is focused on different projects like lumix or cm9
blefish is focused on 3. kernel and cm9
dzo focused on aosp ICS which is 10 times better than every other rom
stockwell retired
ret4rd and rtfpessoa focused on MIUI .32 and .35
exxxplorer is just posting terramino's performance miui for both .32 and .35 kernels.
franco.fransisco waiting for real .35 kernel
other devs are not interested about .32 kerneled roms.

I strongly recommend dzo's last rom.
awesome as legen...
wait for it...
dary.

Understood, was hoping it would be reasonably simply for someone with the right skills and a working build rig.

No way am I going to a .35 rom yet, not till the audio issues are resolved. My phone is my main business tool, I gotta have a fully working and easy to hear device.

Still, there's four very good .32 om's (MIUI-PT, ret4rt's MIUI multi-lang .32 port, this CM7, and Oxygen).

I see Aurora ICS has got a working camera... getting closer every day ;)

Im still on 1118 with franco, have the atmel screen so not dared to upgrade to official 2.3.5. Someone mentioned a fix next week for that, but who knows.

Someone that has tried Aurora mentioned that wifi almsot becomes unusable, and that the carrier i use also does not work.

Btu if the atmel fix is true i might try this.

Is it just to put back original recovery.img (replace cwm one) then flash original?

Does the compass work in the 1118 build for anyone? or is my choice 1118 with franco kernel or 1128 with geno's?
FYI - Compass does work in 1128 with Geno's kernel.

LOL just spent 10min waving my device in a figure 8 to try and get the magneto to reset - only to finally work out it was working the whole time and my office desk just happens to face true north..

I'm on B522 which has atmel problem BUT the problem isnt so bad. I can use screen without stopping. Also I never encountered with a wifi problem. the real deal is mobile apn problem (and I never encountered with this one too) there is so so little amount of big problems. but aurora ICS is ok for daily use. minor problems are minor (menu key opens keylock, no qr reader app, tethering is problematic) but they solved these problems once and more. they can fix them again.

I'm on Aurora ICS and haven't got a single problem with wifi beside sometimes won't auto-connect to saved network at startup but not a big deal. most stable wifi of all .35 roms i tried. dzo is doing an awesome work on it. almost everything is working except tethering and a few minor bugs. also sound is great, no low volume calls or sound distortion for me although someone stated having distortion on speaker i think

I tried a compass app on 1118 now, and it seemed to work. First time ive used it on the u8800.

Ill probably try Aurora if a updated rom comes on friday, or cant wait any longer.

Ive asked this in another thread, but you dont have to restore original boot.img before installing official 2.3.5?

Havent folloed so closely the development since using ics 4.0.3 beta on the huawei mediapad.

no you just have to put a dload folder with the update file in your SD root directory and reboot with vol up+vol down + power button and it will start upgrading automatically. anyway the Huawei zip comes with installation instructions if you need it

Hard to know if this has been covered, searching for these keywords returns too many results :)

On 111128-final my wifi doesn't appear to go to sleep. I normally have it set to never sleep, but battery life has been poor since switching back from MIUI so i was doing some troubleshooting, and set the wifi sleep policy to "when screen turns off".

Can anyone confirm this behaviour? And also whether switching to 111118+franco might be better?

Edit - was just about to say that 111118+franco has the same problem, but it seems to be a bug in BetterBatteryStats, so I'm not sure whether 111128 has an issue or not now ;) Either way, my battery drain was unaccounted for in BBS, so it may be related to 3g strength/coverage.

for anyone looking for an updated .32 based cm7 rom, try this one:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1527745

cm 7.2 and modified franco kernel, very smooth and cool. Needs one file copied from geno's 111128 rom for gps tracking apps to work. Check the thread for details. I'm now a cyanogenmod convert from MIUI! All because of a rotation animation, who would have thought!
Use the cm_u8800_kang-370.32.zip file from ezet's link in the first post, and copy the com.google.android.maps.jar file into /system/framework. There is a copy of it in one of the later posts or get it from geno's rom.

Add another convert here. This one from Aurora. That new cm7 .32 ROM is simply amazing...

I'm feeling a downgrade (from official 2.3) coming on...
And I only just upgraded on Friday! Huawei really is useless, there's no excuse for a laggy ROM with random reboots, missed calls etc... guess I'm going back to CM7 :)

Yes, Huawei really screwed up with the .35 kernel. The good news is .32 is very stable and pretty much bug free. The last months I was really giving .35 a chance but with this new cm7 with no bugs and extreme speed and smoothness, I see no point in upgrading to buggier .35 releases.

Maybe when Huawei releases a stable .35 I'll change my mind but that seems really improbable for them to achieve.

Dzo is making an extremely good work with Aurora, when those remaining bugs like GPS apps not working, get fixed, I will return to it. Right now, I'm extremely happy with ezet's new ROM.

Every U8800 user not happy with their phone should really try that ROM. It is just perfect in my opinion. :D

Yeah, i only upgraded in order to try the Aurora ICS port. A pity the kernel/drivers are so poor on the stock stuff. Many people have said it - never Huawei again.

Got a few questions before trying the Rom:
Can I flash it with my 4.0.0.5 CWM?
Has anyone lost the IMEI after flashing/using the ROM? :eek:
I have a imeibackup so I think I'm safe....

    -------------------------------------
    Multi-boot
    In fact, users in China use the U8800, multi-system has been used for a long time.
    So, now I will use my broken English to tell you how to use multi-system

    First, you need The extra two partitions in the 4G space. you could use twosys-partition.zip to get The extra two partitions 15&16

    download partition package:http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=787404&stc=1&d=1321675310

    And
    The second system-specific recovery system
    http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=787413&stc=1&d=1321675310

    put the twosys-partition.zip and you like rom's zip into Sdcard

    rename the recovery_4.0.1.5_en_sys2.img to recovery2.img , then place it to /cust

    Boot into recovery,flash this package directly, same as flashing a ROM.

    After flashing go to advanced options, choose to reboot to recovery.

    Go into recovery again, flash this package again directly, same as flashing a ROM.now you will have The extra two partition 15 and 16

    OK, let's flash two system into you phone

    Go into recovery again, flash you like rom's zip

    boot into first system, you could use RootExplorer access /cust, rename the recovery.img to recovery1.img, rename the boot.img to boot1.img,rename the recovery2.img to recovery.img.

    reboot you system into recovery, now you recovery is second system recovery,you could flash the 100911-cm7,it will auto flash into second system.

    reboot system, you will into second system (CM7)

    if you want change you system to first, you could use RootExplorer access /sbin/gk, you will found some .sh files,Execution the 8-ChangeSys will auto rename all
    img file then auto reboot to first system.

    you could copy the 8-changesys.sh to any place let you change system easy.

    restore offical partition : download

    Important:only the 100911-CM7 can flash into second system, other ROM only flash into first system
    please backup your data, because you will lost all data in phone

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned this but are there any plans to get official CWM/ROM Manager support?

    I've been meaning to get this done. I think everything is in place to make this possible now.
    4
    Okay for 2d I just had to replace the gralloc lib with the one from B160. I guess in future we'll want to be able to build this from source but for now this makes the phone way more useable.

    Here is a zip to apply until geno incorporates it into the next build. Also includes a kernel based on geno's with DZO's modified TS driver.

    Download: http://www.multiupload.com/QILGIXN410

    Now that the fighting is over, lets work together properly by finding what needs doing and delegating tasks to people. Here are a few things that need to be done.

    1. Write libcamera:

    Using the froyo libcamera causes all sorts of grief and can never be merged, we just need to figure out the msm_camera_ctrl commands (they aren't the same as other devices) that are passed to the adsp and modify an existing libcamera.

    This won't be too hard and I don't mind doing it.

    2. Get Venc and Vdec working:

    This is a bit tricky because the Huawei libs won't interface to gingerberead easily so again they need writing. The standard CAF libs will compile but the problem here is that they need a 2.6.35 kernel. Possible solutions are to backport Venc/dec from 2.6.35 to our kernel or change the libs to use the old interface. Changing the kernel is probably better.

    Perhaps franciscofranco would like to look at this one?

    3. Try to figure out why vsync is so crappy on this device:

    With vsync enabled for the panel you only ever get about 20fps, can we fix this?

    Perhaps stockwell would like to look at this?

    4. Put all the libs in the correct place so it builds correctly:

    The audio,lights and gps libs need to go in the device tree and build correctly.

    Perhaps Jacob could do this?

    5. Use a gingerbread RIL:

    Rather than use the froyo ril, try using the GB ril from a U9000. This would mean we won't need the old rild and all the unnecessary hw libs it uses.


    The aim should be to only us the minimum proprietary libs possible:

    These are:

    liboemcamera.so
    libril-qc-1.so
    libril-qcril-hook-oem.so (possibly)
    sensors.default.so (could possibly write this)

    and the opengl libs:

    libgsl.so, libEGL_adreno200.so, libGLESv1_CM_adreno200.so, libGLESv2_adreno200.so, libq3dtools_adreno200.so

    proprietary bin files we need are:

    compassd
    qmuxd
    rmt_storage
    oem_rpc_svc (possibly not necessary)

    Perhaps something somebody could do is to go through all the proprietary libs we are currently using and make a dependency tree using objdump so we can figure out how to use less of them.

    Anyway, just my thoughts, I'm not trying to force anybody to do anything and I really don't care about merging CM but these things would be useful for Oxygen and MIUI too.

    So, how's the official CM merging HCDRJacob was working on? Did he give up after people bought him the phone?
