[Q] Which rom do most of us use for U8800 everyday

---

Hi gals & guys!
I just got notified and downloaded over the air an update here in Australia.

Believe it or not, I'm still using B133 build ... no updates, not even root, "clockwork" or "perfect" recovery. You see, my U8800 is very useful just as it is, and I use it for work so I'm reluctant to break something that maybe could work better, but works OK just as it is.

I'd like wifi tethering (though I use usb tether a lot and it works well) and FM radio receiver (which I'm told the Snapdragon CPU has and just needs the correct firmware to "switch on").

All this is my way of saying maybe I won't update, specially when the OTA - pushed file comes with no info about what has changed.

So, there's a survey attached to this post .. which build version and modification options is everyone using?

I really like the B160, as the wifi is really working, camera looks great and calling works flawless, one downside is that when getting a phonecall you will see the answering image looks retarded and the answering motion is not so good. Overall its wonderful.

From where can I know which version I am using? when I get on the About menu.. I see a lot of version stuff, but I dont see any B133 or B135 etc.. Any help on how I can find this out?

But when I go to update the rom it says no updates available

I use B160 Complete rom with all fixes and 1.5Ghz kernel. Perfect recovery and I use the ROM update--use INTERNAL 2GB SD as data.

runs great
better battery life.
WiFi hot spot is very usable.
OC to 1 ghz. have tried up to 1.5 but found 1 to be stable and a nice increase from stock speed.
using smartass for scaling.
cifs is very usable also.

I have this same setup on my phone and my wifes phone.

Go to "Settings", "About phone" then scroll down to "Build number". You will see a long number, towards the end of the number will be the letter 'B' followed by 3 digits ... that is your "B" version number.

As for no updates available, that will depend on what country you are using the phone in. Not every place on the planet gets the same update at the same time.
Hope this helps!

I need a CM6/7 mod...

Someday soon you will get it I am sure of it !
I mean come on this phone is really great and works flawless, why wouldn't it get CM?

B160 all the way for me. Fully working, solid as the default rom only better...
I will be installing the 2gb update also soon..

FWIW

M..

I'm running B133.

Thanks trevh

Running B136 here, rooted (z4root) with Clockwork Recovery, INTERNAL 2GB SD as data, some build.prop & hwVolumeFactor.cfg tweaks, launcher pro and overclocked to 1GHz.

I was running B160 but the constant restarts when using data over 2G was getting to me (same bug found in B135).

Only thing left on my wish list for this phone is...

• fixing the WiFi drop-out problem (it's not a massive issue for me)
• improving the performance of the camera (takes way too long to take a photo)
• getting the volume button to take pictures using the default app
