Dear Kalo, I wanted to let you know that after trying for a few days the official rom ICS, I'm finally back to your rom that isn't beautiful, but beautiful, even the phone seems to rejoice at the decision, it's all another film.

Caro Kalo, volevo farti sapere che dopo aver provato per qualche giorno la rom ufficiale ICS, sono finalmente tornato alla tua rom che non è bella, ma stupenda, anche il telefono sembra gioirne della decisione, è tutto un altro film.

Hello People!

I noticed that a lot of people downloaded the overclocked boot.img from the download list.
For this reason I am uploading a new ROM with these changes:

- The new boot.img has the overclock possibility;
- Edited the framework-res.apk in the notification area because in many cases it was impossible to read the dark text.

If you have just installed the B876_KALO_Perfection, you can simply extract boot.img and framework-res.apk and overwrite them (pay atention with framework-res.apk because it requires special Permissions).
For new users the new ROM it's just updated, but the name is always the same B876_KALO_Perfection.

Regards,

kalo

Kalo

may I start by saying Perfection is excellent. I only have one problem, maybe you can help me with it? If I am connected to data, I cannot connect to Wifi. The phone will obtain IP address and then connect for a second, but then immediately disconnect. But if I have data off wifi connects just fine. I did not have this problem with Reloaded... did anything change between versions what would make this happen?

Thanks in advanced :D

I flashed the new zip and the wifi problem remains. when I first reboot the device I can get onto wifi, but once I get a data connection it kicks me off again. I really enjoy your roms and would like to use perfection as my daily rom, but I am going to have an expensive cell bill if I forget to turn off data when I want to use wifi :)

Thanks in advanced

I put the systemUI.apk from the first version of perfection into SP2 and got a notification bar. Unfortunately the wifi problem remains as before. Thanks for such a quick upload though!!

Error in widgets

Kalo, I am experiencing a bug since your very early versions I cannot eliminate.

I do use some widgets (Meteo, news, other things...), but sometimes, when the phone hangs, reboots or otherwise malfunctions and I have to reboot manually (with AnReboot, usually), all widgets disappear replaced by a "There was an error during widget loading" (in Italian "Errore durante il caricamento del widget"). This used to happen with Go Launcher EX (which I love otherwise) that I replaced, thinking it was a Go Launcher bug, but then I discovered that the same issue happens with Zeam Launcher, too, so it must be something more serious... I tried to wipe both cache and dalvik cache... nope, no luck, error still there. And from what I remember I am not the only one experiencing this issue... Can you please check?...

Thank you, keep up the good work!

Paolo.

P.S.: what did you mean that you are not sure you will still have the 8800pro next week???

    - The default audio codec for High Video Recording Quality id AAC;
    - Edited the carrier name "Sonaecom - Serviços de Comunicações, S.A." into "Optimus";


    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.

    well 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.

    hope you can do something!thanks

    i think that you have the tools and knowledge to do it yourself ...
    take a look at this ...
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1411317

    try it yourself , and tell me if you want something more ....

    I FOUND IT
    download this ... http://www.mediafire.com/?2ues73f06ialncf
    i was made this for kalo's v1 , but i think its the same,, so you can use it ....
    unzip , and open the folder ..
    first make a BACKUP ,, and then put it via root explorer , in , system/framework .. (replace it with the existing one)
    give permissions ( rw-r--r-- ) , and reboot your phone ..
    dont worry , it needs 2-3 minutes to boot again ...

    THIS IS ONLY FOR TERMAGAZIS
    IF HE TEST IT AND ITS OK ,,
    Then you can use it , all the others , users of this rom

    so we'll have to wait , termagazis to respond , and tell us if it works

    replace it with the existing one and give permissions ( rw-r--r-- )
    wait , or reboot your phone .....

    well.. 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) :cool:

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