Hi, you should not have any crash after 30 seconds.
What did you edited after the installation of my ROM?
If you want to install the B521, please download the package from the Huawei Worldwide website and unpack it. Inside the extracted folder you will find a pdf file, containing a detailed guide on "How to upgrade".
Regards,

kalo

Hello Kalo. Is there a way to try only the transparent drop down curtain? I'm using your 1.9 ROM. Thank you in advance.

Hi,
For the new user interface I edited lots of file, so I don't remember what you have to overwrite.
It's much better a new full installation because I had to analyze every script into the kernel ramdisk.
Still today I am not able to find the mistakes about the wireless autostart at the reboot or at the system power on (even if before the shutdown the wifi was turned off) and the possibility to full shutdown the device if you have plugged the usb cable.
For example, your device is powered off, you plug in the usb cable and you expect the battery charging animation. Sometimes, on the contrary, the device will power on.

These two bugs are present not only in my B876 porting but in every Gingerbread ROM.
Luckily the new B926 is not affected by these two bugs, even if they are minor bugs in reality.

Soon I will upload the new B876 "Perfection".

I don't know if this will be the last release, but if I can beautify the user inferface and fix those two bugs, I will release a new version of course!

Thank you korekore! I really appreciate your feedback!

Regards

Downgrading from stock ICS rom

Hi Guys

I upgraded my u8800 pro to official ICS B926 rom a few days back.
After a few days use I am getting random reboots,screen freezes while getting a call or it lags while playing games.I am thinking of downgrading to GB again..
And I found kalo's B876_KALO_Reloaded to be a stable and very good rom.But I have a few doubts

1.Since I have the official ICS B926,do I need to flash the official GB rom first before flashing kalo's rom??

2.Also If in the future I want to change from Kalo's ROM to any official ROM what should be procedure?In the u8800 pro official update pdf it's mentioned that I need to Install the official rom first or it may cause trouble if i update it from some custom rom.

Please guide.If it's already discussed in the forum can someone share the link please.Thanks in advance.

:)

Hi pika, I never tried your mentioned scripts because the ROM is really good, it does not need other optimizations. My goal is the best stability and I cannot be sure if I adopt new scripts which I don't know.
Editing the kernel settings can be a good optimization but also a bad action if something is wrong. Every CPU needs different values and I am not the one who is able to establish which are the best values for our CPU/device.
Anyway the ROM comes up to be a stable and daily use ROM.
If someone wants to add futher scripts, it's always possible!

Hi,

1) Yes, you need to flash one of the Official Gingerbread (listed at the first post of this discussion, I am repeating this phrase 10000000 times!);

2) You have to download the Official package, extract its content and read the PDF file which contains the guide to upgrade your device.

3) At the first page you will find all you need!

Regards!

Its funny that the two ppl that complaing the most in this forum...are the two that havent done nothing at all...you can't complain on someone that makes you a damn good rom and guest what he didnt have to do nothing...just makes it...so if you aren't ready to share your work (if had any) in the rest of the community...pls just stop complaining...stay with official or any other rom...we have many...and stop complaining!!kalo keep up the good work my friend...don't listen to those ppl...they have nothing more to do or/and say!!

    - 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 FOUND IT
    download this ... http://www.mediafire.com/?2ues73f06ialncf
    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 ,,
    Then you can use it , all the others , users of this rom

    so we'll have to wait , termagazis to respond , and tell us if it works

    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 .... :)
