[Q] List of the best U8800 ROMs - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

Hi everyone,
I am going to buy a U8800 and was wondering what were the best/most stable ROMs available for it now.
Is there anything being worked on (I saw vataloco was trying to build some CM ROMs)?
What do you use?
Thanks in advance.

If you just read this forum you just posted in you can see that's 3 different CM7 roms in development atm. Not fully functioning yet. Otherwise its probably the VOID 2.2.2 the biggest fully working rom. There's also one rom from the modaco forum, r3 something.

Both void 2.2.2 and FLB r3 have the intermittent sleep power draining issue (phone loses 40-50% of the battery over night). The only Rom that doesn't have that problem and is nearly fully functional is Oxygen:

Miui is another very good Rom, but unfortunately there are some problems with camera and sd card...

didn't have sleep battery drain on flb r3 or r5. battery losses less than 5% during the night.

Don't know about R5, wasn't aware that there was a new FLB release... R3 definitely has the power draining bug, tested that a few weeks ago and multiple users reported same thing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145004
Very interesting that the new FLB version wasn't posted on XDA...released on 21 July 2011:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/342...wei-u8800-with-online-kitchen/page__hl__u8800

r3 only had a battery draining issue when running overclocked, possibly due to incorrect overclock values. r5 seems to have that issue resolved. However I should point out that running overclocked will use a bit more battery than running at stock speed.

I have added details of the latest version of FLB to the other thread.

Cheers for that.

what is the problem with the sd card? I´ve never had any problem with that

Nowadays 4.2 are working real good, hope they do not stop the support. This is a great phone

Froyo with no sense UI BUILD?

That is what I am looking for, right now I am using an Energy ROM, and a skinnyEVO build right now, have not tested to see how long the battery will last starting at fully charged yet, hopefully I get a full days use, I have background data turned off, brightness turned off, wifi etc...any suggestions on ROM + build combo's that anyone else is using that has a high battery life?

This one is very good for a clean build. It is based on Stock + Cyanogen. Try either 11182010v4 or 11192010v4
[Everyday Builds][latest linux_on_wince_htc][PPP] CM6.1+
I use to use that exact combination. I had the latest energy rom plus skinnyEVO too, 1.7 was a great build! However it's been awhile since he updated the build and the newer hastarin kernels are a pain to set up(since you need to replace libs and camera drivers and such) so I've switched combo:
VBNROM *Reloaded 2* + [Core Droid V0.8]
VNDROM loads faster than the energy rom I was using(and I believe it uses less memory), so I switched to that. and I know Core Droid isn't non-sense, but I get better battery life with it(with new hastarin kernels) than I did on skinnyEVO AND it has the g-sensor fix so now more ts freeze.

Does the Core Droid have Kernel 8.5.1 built into it? That is the only thing I have not learned how to do is install Kernel's, i'll try the ROM that you are using, I have Core Droid Build on my desktop right now, but it seemed to drain my battery fast as well.
I would try biff mod from 1 dec. His roms are very stable and they are uptodate. With the 8.5.1 kernel.

[Q] [NAND] Kernel? _eb

Hey XDA
maybe i'm a newb posting this thread and gets punched for it, but i searched around findin nothing worth it.
I am not alone with my question, cause many many others asking the same, they dont know anything about it and i just want to have some informations and sum them up in the first post here, so all can inform quickly about the nand kernels.
Beside MDJ S-series for Nand i didnt found anything else, Hastarin was really present in SD kernels, but i cant find a nand version.
I'm satisfied with MDJs kernel, cause i never had problems with it, they're smooth and fast so thanks at this point, but as MDJ never stated about EXTENDED BATTERY support, if he's about to inplementate or not, i'm looking for a up-to-date kernel as we're now in the Nand century, which supports extended batteries (htc official ones). It's too bad Hastarins kernel didnt get updated to Nand version, cause he released many versions of it (_eb _olcam _eb-olcam and normal).
anyone got further informations?
i'd really appreciate, as i'm about to buy such a battery the next few days if theres a working/supporting kernel.
thanks in advance.
*push*
anyone have an idea?
ive been having the same problems as ive just bought an official extended battery for mine. been using Mdj's cyanogen v2.6 until today as it doesn't support the EB. I'm now using NexusHD2-Froyo_V1.9a_NAND.7z with the Gscript kernel to get the EB to work. Hopefully the EB will be supported more widely as the HD2 really needs it!!

right, is there any way to get the EB supported by the Nand build by using such a Gscript? or will it just only work for your build? (NexusHD2-Froyo_V1.9a_NAND.7z)
come on there are so many NAND kernels in the custom roms built-in, as we can read in the thread title, but no stand-alone kernel update to use it with another build.. or they dont even say if EB is supported or not..
have to look for NexusHD2-Froyo_V1.9a_NAND.7z maybe I'll switch to this until EB is supported more widely
anyway thanks man, at least 1 reply
i found a kernel that supports EB battery, and it seems that it can be installed seperatly by CWM zip, my extended battery is ordered and should arrive the next 3 days, will report back

[Q] Most stabe custom rom recommendation?

Hi guys, I've just recently purchased a U8800 (NOT pro, just the normal one).
I did some research already and the more I read, the more confused I am. It seems that many roms, especially the MIUI ones all have similar problems related to performance, wifi issues etc.
And speaking of MIUI roms, I'm not sure which one is the better one (in terms of speed and stability). Here're the ones I'm referring to:
[ROM] MIUI V4 based Elite ROM SX - (Stable) - 2012-07-14
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562661
[ROM][MIUI-V4][2.8.3][3.0.8]CrazyMiui|08/05|{SMOOTH,FAST AND STABLE}

MIUI PORTUGAL V4 - 2.9.29.1 (Base GenoKolar)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928336&highlight=miui
It seems that some of them are based on GenoKolar's MIUI rom, and that some are based on other people's roms.
The same applies to other non-MIUI roms, such as this one:
[ROM] Elora 1.10.13 - 2012-10-13
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798031
which is a hybrid of DZO's Alora rom and some extra added stuff from other roms.
Anyway, I'm really confused by which one to try. I don't want to risk bricking my device or going through the trouble of testing each one and experiencing the problems or bugs, and then try the next one and so on. I was wondering if someone could kindly provide some suggestions as to which rom is the most stable and is decent in terms of speed/performance.
Also, by stable I mean that it has the least bugs OR that it has the minimum amount of critical bugs that could affect the phone's daily use.
Thanks in advance.
Personally i think that for daily use ezet's CyanogenMod 7.2 with .32 kernel is the best considering performance,battery etc. but it is kind of outdated since dzo has made a pretty stable ICS rom(Aurora) which is a lot newer and smoother but with a few bugs remaining. Not to mention that dzo is from the same city as you haha!

Thanks for your reply!
Ya I also think that CM 7.2 is quite outdated, even my Motorola Milestone (which has locked bootloader and no custom kernel support until recently) is on an even newer CM RC release, I think it's on RC3 or RC4 now.
And ya I also agree that Dzo's Aurora rom is probably the most updated one around here but I did read a few comments in the last few pages about certain bugs so I dunno if I should flash it or not.....
I prefer Aurora 4.1u1 for daily use. There's still some bugs, but with some time and understanding of how to find the reason of your problem you'll get the most recent and stable ROM for U8800 now. Also Dzo's back and he is working on the update now so it wouldn't take long to fix all the bugs remaining.
Hi!
Actually i'm with Elora. It's pretty cool and stable.
Best regards
MIUI PT, based on Geno's version is the way to go., in my oppinion.
Very stable, nice and weekly updated
But, honestly speaking, althought every rom as its ups and downs, nothing like you try them all and see which one adapts better to your needs. :good:

[Q] Just returned to Razr M.. Deodexed Stock Rom? Fav kernel for battery life?

Hello folks. I have recently returned to using an XT907 after I lost my original whilst doing a kegstand at the beach on the fourth of july . Anyway, I have been perusing the piles of recent threads and am having trouble finding whether anybody has been keeping an up-to-date (4.1.2) rom which is perfectly stock, except deodexed, and perhaps debloated. If anybody could just point me in the direction of a thread with that information I would be grateful. I like this style rom because I like to make my own minimal design tweaks, but most importantly it seems to give me the best battery life and long term stability. If you have a seperate custom Rom that has been exceptional in both of these catagories and you care to share, that would be appreciated as well.
I am also interested in what kernel people are using with their custom roms, and how that has affected their battery life. I was able to get at least 24+- hours with solid use roughly 1yr ago which a custom setup like I've described and a custom PB&J kernel. With stock everything now, I'm lucky if I get 12 hours.
If I missed a recent thread containing any of the information that I've just discussed, I apologize but I didn't see any. Any input would be appreciated, thanks!
if you want a good battery life, I suggest you use the CM stable rom for xt907, 4.2.2 andriod OS.
you can use dsixda's Android Kitchen to deodex the stock Rom your self if you cant find a rom you like.

you can then debloat using this safe list

Personally I'm on CM KK nightlights and have no desire to go back to a JB rom. Fast, smooth and battery life is great. I'm using CM kernel that comes built into the rom but I know a lot of people use arrrghhh's

I9500 Kernel (Light Weight Kernel 20.4) Issues

There's only one kernel for i9500 CM, and after flashing LWK 20.4 my wifi stopped working and I've just dirty flashed CM12.1 on my phone again.
Well, since I can't post on development forum: is there anyone that can help me with this?
The original reason I've dabbled with kernels is the abhorrent battery life I was getting out of my box. Like, 6-10 hours with little to no usage!
When I've first installed gearCM about 5 months ago, battery life was tolerable. Not as good as stock firmware, but good enough to last the day. I've installed OTA updates every few weeks and after the latest such event (~2 weeks ago?) my battery just started to drain.
I've re-installed another rom, Resurrection Remix 5.5.8, which still drained battery. Now I'm on official CM 12.1 latest nightly. Google services crashes every now and then. I haven't really gotten a chance to test battery life, but I'm pessimistic.
What can I do about a good and functioning kernel with a stable ROM? (no TW please)
CM and CM-based roms I like most, but if LWK isn't going to work on them, what other ROM would you recommend?
Try PAC ROM 5.1.1
Hi,
Try GearMod kernel and let me know.
