wow finally a comment, I was getting bored here. The installation instructions are simple ; official froyo(huawei)-official gingerbread-official ICS-custom roms you want. But if you were on cm10 you have to downgrade to official gb first to get this ROM.
i was wrong beacause i read "Any ICS" on First Page...Thank you.
Now, from 47 hours to download frome the chinese website try again...
last question, the procedure that i have to apply is:
- official Gingerbread
- unlock bootloader
- Put Recovery modify
- apply procedure for install this ROM
is it correct?
or bootloader and recovery remains after install Gingerbread official?
thank you

You CAN install this over ICS but I recommend official ICS(still custom ics ROMs can be used but official is recommended). The best and most clean install is over an official GB ROM. The rest is correct.

You have to install, ONLY step 2 from an official GB, to get back to gingerbread.
Then change recovery.img, and install any GB based custom rom without having issues.

You can install it over froyo too.
Dude,what the hell.If you are not sure why do you give such advice?
Have you seen in ANY GB custom rom installation note something like ''You can install it over ICS''? Gingerbread rom needs GB base to work correctly..
Yes, you're right ..
I think 95% of the guys, which using ICS based roms, they never flash a GB based rom, and they don't know even how to downgrade to GB.
They care only for those crappy ICS based roms and nothing more.

It's an easy misunderstanding. When Kalo opened the thread and wrote that:
...no official ICS firmware had been released, so by saying ''any ICS Rom'' he meant some ICS ports based on GB baseband.
lol SvTeam

How could I know that lol. I'm still kinda new here, less than a year or so. Anyway I already said that the best and most clean install is over official gingerbread. Also if you download official ICS or GB (not sure) huawei gives you instructions on how top downgrade from ICS to GB.

I just said what kalo says on the first post "any ICS". How could I know that official ICS was not released by then?

I came to xda in November 2012, so even I'm not a year old.. But I know MUCH..
You are really acting STUPID :thumbdown:
It does not matter whether official ICS came before kalo's release or not.. Common sense says that this ROM requires the BASEBAND of GB..

NO NEED to unlock bootloader,
it is already unlocked in official GingerBread.
Just connect the phone (in pink screen mode) to your PC.. Wait for the device to be detected and when the image folder comes up, replace the recovery.img with TWRP 2.x.x.x
Thats it..
Additional info.- (If you want a rooted official GB then just flash superuser.zip, search it on google or xda).

Actually it does matter because this...
...is kind of misleading for new members.
SvTeam you are not new. I don't demand you to know everything but you are supposed to be a ROM moderator and know how Android works.
People I know the basic about android. Neither I'm a dev nor I'm here for so long to know that. The time that huawei released ICS has nothing to do with my knowledge. kalo clearly stated that you can install this over any ICS ROM and kalo was a dev so I thought it was correct and got confused like other members. I know that he should install this over GB and that's why i said that the best and most clean install is over GB.

Hi Everyone,
Sorry for the interruption. There seems to be a misunderstanding about how to install this ROM. It should be installed on a GB base. I think anybody reading the OP could be easily confused and think it can be installed on top of any ICS ROM. The recent posts make these points very clear. It is a shame that many of them also flame other users. Please stop the personal attacks on one another. If you see something that is wrong, just post the correct information with out being judgmental about it. Thanks!

Nick i have to disagree a bit sorry mate. Kalo was never a dev. Porting a rom doesnt make anyone a dev same with all of us who are prting roms. Well kalo had much better knowledge than all of us which allowed him to make this wonderful rom as we all know tho i never used his rom sadly and i never plan to as i never really want to downgrade to GB. Devs are the people with actuall knowledge like few who graced our small forums like Genokolar And Ivan and forumber2. They are the people who memorized every bit of android. You guys dont know how much hard it is to compile a rom from source for our Device due to its low ram content. Only modifying the manifest in git doesnt really help.
I dont care what other people really think about me for speaking what i really think of. Am here to help fellow members and new members but not to promote flaming. Xda is not a place for kiddo comments or trolls.

I only said that kalo was a dev because in his sign he had made rom for other device too (i think n4). Also he fixed many things on this rom too. Anyway on the other things i agree with you and sorry for my wrong advice that i gave.

If you know the basics of android, why would you even post a ROM?

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.

kalo868well 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.6
i think that you have the tools and knowledge to do it yourself ...

enjoy6well.. 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)
if someone could make screenshots , i appreciate it ....
