[ROM] [DISCONTINUED] tahahawa's U81XX Froyo Mod V1.4 (First U81XX ROM with OTA!!!)

tahahawa · Jan 26, 2011

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT THIS ROM HAS CAUSED. FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK.

NOTE: THIS IS ALL UNTESTED. THE MINUTE I FINISH, I UPLOAD. SO DON'T BE SURPRISED IF IT DOESN'T WORK.

This ROM is based on @cas_xp's, @dsixda's, @kalt_kaffe's, and @tkirton's work. A big "Thank You" goes to them.

Also a big Thank you goes to www.heylisten.org/ROM, the provider of the free hosting and the one(s) that made OTA possible. I will also be making a QR code to download it straight to your phone.

Unfortunately, no.

Installation

1. Flash a recovery image

2. Copy the .zip file to your MicroSD card and boot the phone into recovery mode (call+volume-up+power)

3. Choose "Flash zip from sdcard" and choose the zip you just copied.

4. Wipe data+cache before rebooting. You should wipe unless you are already on a Froyo ROM.

tahahawa · Jan 26, 2011

Swap:

To enable swap on partition 3 or partition 2 (it will check partition 3 first and if it doesn't exist it will try partition 2)
$ su
# sdswap.sh enable

$ su
# sdswap.sh disable

Compcache:

If you are using are already using a swap partition on your SD-card, then you most likely shouldn't enable compcache. But if you do not want to partition your SD-card then compcache can be a good alternative.

Read more about how Compcache works here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Compcache

Enable compcache
In a terminal or using an adb shell type this:
$ su
# compcache.sh enable

Type free to confirm you now have 32Mb swap

Disable compcache
In a terminal or using an adb shell type this:
$ su
# compcache.sh disable

Type free to confirm you now have 0Mb swap

Advanced users
Compcache size, settings and swappiness is setup in /system/bin/compcache.sh
If you are an advanced user, you'll know how to proceed from here...

Some questions before putting this on, since I'm always a noob with installing new ROMs...

1) Is this in a stable and smooth stage yet (with everything working properly) or is this still in developmental stages? What is the difference between this and cas_xp's?

2) I'm currently running The Celestial Teapot at 652mhz, will this be noticeably slower considering it doesn't have overclock (does it?). What's the deal in regards to overclocking?

3) I can install this fine (flashing it) over Kalt Kaffe's TCT ROM (replacing it with this one) or do I have to somehow get TCT off first?

Forgive me if my questions are nooby, I always prefer to overask (woohoo new word) in regards to ROMs

Whatever the case, thanks for working on this! Awesome (really) if it works perfectly, but even if not, I like seeing any development with U8100.

Unfortunately, it won't boot on huawei u8110.

I've tried to delete data/fatory reset, but it didn't help.

1)This is @cas_xp's but modded.

2)I haven't tested yet. But the previous version wasn't as laggy. I'm going to try to bring OC in. To reduce lag.

3) You should probably wipe before coming to this ROM . I should probably put a short flashing guide in.

It will take a long time to boot for the first time. It is deodexed.

atomicr · Jan 26, 2011

I left it for 5 minutes to boot. Do I have to wait longer?
OK. I'll try one more time.

edit:
No, rom doesn't boot neither after 10 minutes. It is stuck on my Movistar initial splash screen.

So I will finally, after so long, have working 2.2 on my phone

Can't wait to try this...

Too bad. I'm sorry it doesn't work. I haven't tested this myself, so I can't tell you if it is working or not. Thank you for testing.

Does this mean you haven't tested the rom at all and don't know if it works or merely that you haven't tested on the U8110 but have tested it on the U8100 only?

I assume the latter, but I'd rather double check

@hachoo no

@syrenz I haven't tested it AT ALL. I don't have access to my phone at the moment. When I do I will test it.

Does the problem about wifi existing on cas_xp's ROM still exists?

I mean, automatical rebooting when stopping wifi..

Any bugs in his ROM should also be in here. If and when I correct them I will post.

cyberghoser1 · Jan 26, 2011

Yeah current bugs are: wifi on reboot bug, laggy rom,d-pad click, calibration, its a pain, but overall nice try tahahawa i think once you can test by yourself you will improve it a lot.
