Just found this phone in my drawer from years ago... this thing is adorable. Does anyone still care about this thing? I've never made a ROM before but I think a KitKat AOSP/CM11 would rock on this thing. After doing some research this has the Snapdragon S1 chipset (MSM7227A i think) which is the same as the LG P700, which has KitKat ROMs currently. If we based our work off of theirs, we could maybe pull this off...

    Progress: Flashable Stock ROM zip has been created.

    It works with this CWM by Prism2 ;)

    By the way for those wondering: you can make and restore full backups with Prism2's CWM as well. So don't worry there.

    Here's a download link for the stock rom for those who don't want to register for the other forum where our device actually has a section. However, it's probably worth it to sign up over there anyway.

    Anyone want to do a teardown of their Huawei Prism III to expose the circuitry? Curious to see some of the components. I would do it myself, but I do not have the proper sized screwdriver. I will most likely purchase one soon.

    Sure, I got the tools.

    OK here is the test. It should completely remove Carrier IQ from your device. As far as I can tell, anyway. If its in anymore places please let me know.

    This is a flashable zip in CWM.

    It is universal for Huawei devices. For example, the Huawei 8800 has a Qualcomm chipset and processor and developers patched the phone to have a usable pink screen mode. Here is the thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1457490
    Here is the specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_u8800_ideos_x5-3596.php
    I contacted the OP, but he says another developer (genokolar) released the patch. I checked his profile, but he hasn't posted since last year. I wonder how he did it.
