Some review Baidu cloud os: reviewonanything.blogspot.com/2013/12/custom-rom-baidu-cloud-os-v5-for-spice.html



It seems it is the best ROM for now for the U8950D.

You could install it from the recovery. Make sure you have the latest firmware installed (B956) before. Formatting the /cust needed.

Install it at your own risk!!!

I installed the rom. It seems to be quite stable and looks smooth! Before this I used a MIUI rom. That was also stable, But this one seems to be more suitable for the 2 SIM card usage: it shows all icons and settings for the two SIMS, which is not the case in MIUI.

One remark about spontaneous reboots: I think I managed how to get rid of them (holds both for MIUI and this BAIDU):
when I set the WCDMA SIM mobile provider to "automatic", I got about one reboot a day. When i set it manually to my provider, I do NOT get any reboot. Maybe this also works for the stock ROM? Somebody tried that?

does it work for U8950-1 version of g600?

EDIT: Tried it and it seems it doesnt support my device, when in the detecting process , it shows my Mac address and IMEI and other stuff but it doesnt show the bootloader status and code as shown in the tutorial. Any way to unlock my bootloader?

It worked on my U8950-1. But I think stock rom is better than this baidu.

---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------

Do anyone know how to get stock recovery back?

I've just flashed MIUI rom 3.3.11 (and gapps) - and have a problem with themes app: when I go to the 'online' folder, app crashes with 'Unfortunately, Themes has stopped.' message.
Also I'm not able to change the wallpaper manually from settings.
I've made the factory reset before flashing, but I had FloMass-ter 1.7.0 beforehand. Maybe I should flash the official B956 prior?

+----------------------------------+
Issue resolved.
Wipe + 'use external SD' setting helped.

Baidu 49 rom

There is a new Baidu ROM (49) with Gapps. On my U8950D it runs more smooth then the previous one (46, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51805691&postcount=922). On the previous version, I had a lot of crashes of the Home screen, leading to waiting times before Home came back. In the new one, I still see some of these crashes but the device recovers directly.

For download, see the third post in:

http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=397268&st=3740

thanks fxexpert!

ps: would it be possible to add Dutch language to these ROMS? Or can you teach me how to do so?

new leFrog 5.1 ROM vs 4.1.2

Did anyone try the new LeFrog 5.1 ROM (android 4.1.2) from http://www.romzj.com/resources/default.html?view=rom&id=18426
Is this one for dual SIM? The previous version 5.0 was only for single SIM.

edit: I tried it and it is single SIM only! In fact, after restoring my previous rom with miui recovery, I lost my second SIM. This can be solved by re-installing the U8950d from http://pan.baidu.com/s/1sj8UJuP#dir/path=/U8950-1国外基带

I would be very interested to know if this 4.1 version can run with 2 sim cards.

    Recovery+Root

    Now U8950D could be unlocked. I just port CWM6 to our device. Not functioning perfectly but usable.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    How to install and root:

    0. You must first UNLOCK bootloader!
    1, Make sure you've turn off 'settings'-'fast boot'. Then power off.
    2, Press 'Power+Volume-' button at least 10s and you are now in fastboot mode. Download my eng-U8950D_Recovery.rar and run 'flash_RECOVERY.bat' on your pc.
    3,After flashing it will boot to system. Now download the file 'Root.zip' attached and put it to your sdcard.
    4,Power off again and press 'Power+Volume+' until it enters recovery. Now choose 'Install zip from sdcard'-'choose zip from sdcard'-'Root.zip' and wait for it finish falshing.
    5, Reboot your phone and now you have root! :)

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Not work:
    1, mount USB storage in cwm
    2, cwm doesn't auto mount /system partition.
    3, offmod charging


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Update version('Backup' does not work at the moment.Some important info see here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35253728&postcount=304):

    Recovery:http://www.mediafire.com/?psc1s3adv7krb12
    Root.zip:http://www.mediafire.com/?9up5ynv9y53np29

    Recovery+Root:
    http://www.mediafire.com/?81bl6kwvn391d


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    EDIT: If you're are care about offmod charging, just download the original boot.img bellow and replace the cwm6.0 recovery folder. Use the same way to flash this recovery.

    But DO NOT use this original recovery to flash any zip such as root.zip, because it won't allow you to. So you'd better make a backup for those two boot.img--one for flash zips, and one for offmod charging.

    1. This tutorial is only for installing official firmware on Huawei U8950D.

    1.3 Now copy/paste the UPDATE.APP from the extracted firmware file to your SD card, like this: /mnt/sdcard/dload/UPDATE.APP. Create ‘dload’ directory if needed.
    1.4 Then turn off your phone and disconnect from the USB cable.

    3.7 Select "install zip from sdcard", "choise zip from sdcard" and choise file with firmware.

    The first Beta version of the MIUI Rom is now out: http://bbs.anzhi.com/thread-6452258-1-1.html

    Download: http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=411200&uk=2936987094

    It should be flashed with 3. party recovery (CWM or MIUI) and a factory reset should be done after update.

    Note that only one signal bar will be shown, and that is for SIM1. But both sims should work anyway.

    Here is a anzhi forum account if somebody wants to look more about the thread http://bbs.anzhi.com/thread-6452258-1-1.html

    pw:8950

    Dowload:http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=411312&uk=2936987094

    I have some tips about this miui rom:
    1.I failed to flash miui using miui recovery. You coould use CWM recovery to flash. Do not forget to wipe before flashing!
    2.Statusbar only shows one sigh. But sim2 does work well. If you just use one sim, please make sure it be in sim1 slot!
    3.It seems there are some bugs while poweroff.
    4.Phone.apk and sms.apk are both still using original ones at the moment.
