[NIGHTLY][2.3.7][UPDATED 17/01] CyanogenMod 7.2 for Huawei U8150 [UNNOFFICIAL]

dublea · Jun 6, 2011

Just installed via Rom Manager. After initial install, all seemed well. I had issues with sound quality (ringtones or calls,) the web was extremely laggy to load/operate, screen DPI not set correctly for lockout and such.

When I installed the gapps the install failed. System had kernel of 2.3.4 yet gapps was for 2.3.3. I'm guessing gapps isn't updated to the current release. You guys are doing great though! Keep it up. Until then I'll keep using DroniX, OC w/ multi.

Did you install exactly according to instructions? Wipe/Clean install... None of these issues exist if installed correctly and GAPPS installs fine everything from it works

I cant wait for new release... i hope at least notification ring but get fixed asap!.. its starting to annoy me

There is workaround for this, which is working fine for me and others:

There's a temporary tip to get it working. Go in settings -> cyanogenmod -> Sound and put on "Notifies,Ringtones,alarms" in play only using speakers section.

Yes, I performed the install per instructions but still had issues with gapps. I might try to download again as it may have been corrupted.

EDIT: I deleted the downloaded files, redownloaded and installed. Awesome rom! Got it synced with exchange and got Netflix working (downloaded from market even!)

Where is the download link for GAPPS?

Do you have Rom manager installed? Then go to Download Rom, then choose the Google Applications add-on link. There is gapps.

Now, does anyone have a good recommendation to a gallery app? One that streams vid like the original gallery app? I use streaming vids with it for my job and would hate for this functionality to be lost.

I want to say thanks!

Yes, I want to say thanks to all the members of the IDEOS DEV TEAM for their great work!
I have been following them since Cyanoman v2 (the best rom till now imho) but Gingerman v5.1 (I have been using it now) works well. Obviously, something needs workaround, something doesn't work but, you know, it can give up something!
I bought a Huawei U8150 by chance and now I can have Android 2.3.4 without spend too much money for a high-end cellphone. What else!

Just a little question: what about opengl and 3d homescreen support?

Ok, I know I'm not a genius with Droid but the U8150's hardware is just not capable of good 3d to my knowledge. It does have an Adreno 200 GPU that does in fact support OpenGL ES 2.0, OpenGL ES 1.1, OpenVG 1.1, EGL 1.3, Direct3D Mobile, SVGT 1.2 and DirectDraw. The phone just doesn't seem powerful enough to use a 3d homescreen though. I've tried multiple 3d type games only to find it wouldn't load correctly. Hell, even Bejewelled wouldn't run in it. Doesn't mean it's not a good phone, I love it. Just not for gaming =P

not work/install Webmoney mobile client

dublea · Jun 8, 2011

Ok, I've used this for about 2 days now and I'm going back to DroniX 0.4 for the time being. I love that I could use Netflix and other apps. I love how stable and smooth it was. BUT, there was major problems with Wifi and audio.

Wifi: The phone had issues staying connected to two different routers, one at home

, one at work (g.) These routers are in the same room as I am most of the time. I should have FULL signal. I never got full signal, only 1-2 bars. Also, when phone went into powersave mode / screen lockout, wifi turned off to save power. That's not a big problem. But, when I would unlock it, it wouldn't re-establish a connection to my routers. I'd have to turn wifi off, then on again for it to work.

Audio: When the phone is first booted, all audio correctly goes through whatever speaker it is intended to broadcast through. But, after you lockout the screen and the system goes into powersave, the audio that would have gone through the speaker phone speaker would come out of the earpiece speaker. Every time. I was missing calls and txt due to this, but that's no biggy =P

As I've stated before, AWESOME work guys. Keep it up! I can't wait to see this get better!

How did you get Netflix with video working on the U8150 with Gingerman 5.1?

Update: Oh looks like you are using a Droid.

While waiting for rom update I made some fixes myself.

I have modified framework.jar file (native calls for auto focus are disabled), so apps that use camera through framework works without problems. This isn't a complete fix because apps that use camera through native calls wouldn't work if they use auto focus function.
I am using modified framework.jar for a week now and no problems occurred. Every app that I installed worked fine, like Barcode Scanner, IP Webcam etc.

INSTALL:
1. Full system backup (for safety reasons)
2. Copy modified framework.jar to System/Framework folder and overwrite original with file manager like "Root Explorer" which enables writing to a system partition
3. Change permissions of modified framework.jar after overwriting: USER: Read, Write; GROUP: Read; OTHERS: Read
4. Reboot phone (first boot takes a little bit longer while dalvik cache is rebuilt)
5. Enjoy!

EDIT: Reuploaded framework.jar for Gingerman v6!!!

P.S Also, I added ServiceChannel class in framework.jar, extracted from original Ideos 2.2 rom which is a small step toward resolving FMRadio issue

Awesome - do you think you could look at the changes I made to framework-res.apk, phone.apk and contacts.apk earlier in the thread and see if you can recompile them? I had FC issues and my lappy has been decommissioned

(I'm a neat freak when it comes to layouts!)

I got netflix working on Gingerman5.1 and dronix 0.4. It's a hell of a lot smoother on Gingerman.

Gingerman - Just downloaded from Market

DroniX 0.4 - Use the Netflix app on here, the one from the market, not the device check removed.

No, I called android based phones droids before the "Droid" was released. ^_^

Thanks for the ROM

Seems i cant use USB developer mode. Dont need it though.

The Radio was mentioned a few times already, so i ll wait

My two mayor issues are the occasional stuttering when playing MP3 and the loudness of the head speakers. The stuttering is my main issue. Is this a DSP thing or does the SD card need abit more memory for buffering ? or is it much more complex ?

I have read that other Android devices have somewhere hardcoded values in cfg files or in the code itself. Is it possible to raise the volume of the headphone in Gingerman a bit ?

With the DSP manager and some quality headphones this is my first Android i d call a music player. If there was a bit more volume and no stuttering it would be perfect.

Oh.. about the poll on top of the forum.. i d say remove the whirling characters. Make it just a simple loading bar or just use the "waiting wheel" from Android. The boot pic is really nice, but the whirling characters not so much

Edit: I cant update OI File Manger from Market. Says something about wrong signature.
