[Q] Will Ideos X5 U8800 get Ice cream sandwich (Android 4.0) - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

I know Huawei is worst company to provide updates as Android 2.3 has not been provided yet. Android 2.3 is coming end of this month according to Huawei. But the real question is whether it will get ICS.
ICS have lot of UI changes with performance improvements. I think google should work with OEM's to help them provide updates.U8800 is capable of running ICS smoothly.
800 Mhz qualcomm processor: Android 2.3 works on most 600MHz processors. ICS will not require >800MHz processor to run smoothly.
512 MB of RAM: ICS require only 256 MB
Adreno 205: it will take care of Hardware acceleration
800*480 resolution: it is pretty good resolution to run ICS.

i dont know about offical, but unoffical maybe

Well, Oxygen 3.x (w/ Android 4.0) is coming to the Desire, Nexus One, Nexus S and Galaxy S II and maybe dzo will port it to our dear device

I don't think so. not supported.

Official? Maybe not
The only hope is from devs, as ics source been published. I'll check development section daily

well if we will get 2.3 by huawei this year - then asuming all their work on this version - we will get 4.0 android when there will be android 4.5 or 5
Anyway we still doesn't have stable normal good working custom 3.5...so huawei will fail with their 3.5 version... and maybe ICS is not so good as 3.5 who knows.. - newer - doesnt mean better. we can look at Windows - from XP there is no improvement.

How do you know that, who gave you this fact...because technically ICS can run on any device that is capable of running gingerbread and the OS adapts to the specs of the phone so surely our phones are capable of running it, maybe not an official release but most likely from an unofficial port.

Htc Tattoo which is low level device and never updated from android 1.6 officially, now runs GB 2.3.5(custom roms) without problems.
So, X5 definately can run ICS.

Installed Oxygen 2.3.1-u8800_r1 build GWK74 with Android 2.3.7 at 1.0 Ghz
Works fine for me.
Superfast and stabile , fun to work with as everything is smooth and fast.
Only had to manually re-install some apps , because the provided ones did not work, like google voice-search and wifi theter.
Let's hope ICT is even better.
Huawei Ideos X5 U8800 , Oxygen 2.31-u8800_r1
No need for an Iphone , I got my Huawei Ideos X5

Sony confirm ICS for xperia mini and xperia neo, witch are very similar to U8800, so i think you are right.

3D driver optimisations

Hello every genius !!
Can someone add 3D driver optimisations in their fabulous kernel / rom like cyanogen mod7?
In cyanogen mod we can notice a real boost performance in 3d applications. So why not include the cyanogen 3d driver in next rom or kernel ?
Thank you all !

I'll quote my post from another topic
Guys, look at that:
http://glbenchmark.com/subtest_results_of_device.jsp?D=Google+Nexus+S&id=405
There are 12 tests of Nexus S in GLBenchmark, and 11 of them are below 2400 points (more or less like our SGS), but the most recent one (uploaded at 2011.02.11) scored 3025 points, more than Tegra 2. This result's is made by someone from GLBenchmark, and shows at "GLBenchmark team tested" page of the results. How is that possible?
Click to expand...

So, according to this benchmark, the performance of Nexus S'ses SGX540 increased dramatically somehow. And according to this article,
LG's software build also uses a newer version of Imagination Technologies' driver (1.6 instead of 1.5)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So, maybe, in the latest update (2.3.2, or whatever) Nexus S got this new 1.6 GPU driver with increased up to 30% performance?
Now this is getting interesting!
any more info about this ?
fake?
I think ots a fake or it was a special rom, i use darys rom with voodoo and have 2537
But wich driver the Cyanogen team use in their cyanogen mod7 ?
Their 3d driver score in quadrant pro is very impresive, nearly 30 to 40% more than stock froyo 2.2 rom.
I will try to ask the cyanogen team.
Kepp in touch
// oh your right
Well.. This really looks interesting.
Now this is interesting
Looking forward to this
Surprised someone with a little more knowledge hasn't commented on this yet. Hopefully we'll have an answer soon
In the meantime -> report here if the sources (I mean precompiled module, which will be inside the package) are online

Are you sure? On my i9000 with CM7, quadrant 3D test even can't be finished normally.

What is your quadrant GPU score in CM? On JS5 2.2.1 i have 2d:293; 3d:879. Are CM scores really better?
SGX540 is much better GPU than the one used in Tegra 2.
So I guess these results are caused by the newer driver version (1.6) released by IT.
with mitra rom i have these score on quadran advanced:
overclocked to 1.3ghz (on set cpu min and max @1.3)
total score 3702
at stock 1ghz (on set cpu min and max @1ghz)
total score 2865
good score for me with this rom.
i thing that the driver are updated...

arc perfomance vs dhd

Hi all. I with my friends compared performance of arc to desire hd and nexus one in browsermark using opera mobile and android default browser. In default browser arc scored almost 2 times more, using opera it scored 30% more.
Why arc is so much faster? This 3 phones have almost identical hardware. Scores of dhd and nexus one are almost identical. Has sony done some magic to dalvik?
Different processor ?

No, both arc and DHD use msm8255. I guess Sony makes a better board design or uses better components.
In PC boards, we also have this case. Same chipset but different performance.

They all run on snapdragon cortex a9 processor, arc and dhd have the same processor, nexus uses 60nm chip instead of 45nm.
Maybe better optimized!
Do you know CM ? Current version is CM7.1.
I think the performance on CM7.1 is better than ARC official version

Thats what I think too, but 80% improvement in browser O_O just wow.
Btw, can anyone test it? http://browsermark.rightware.com/browsermark/index.action Just to be sure my friend is not lying He claims his arc gets 65k.
I just ran it and got 54475 but I think I can make it better, coz whatsapp notified me of a message and the phone becomes more responsive after restarting it when you have it run for long time...
Mine scores 61k+ with the .283 build. Tested it last October before updating to .42
Attached a screenshot.
Awesome
Always thought Arc and DHD would be quite the same and the Arc is just a better lookomg DHD.

Android 4.0 ROM?

Can we dream of such a ROM?
Or did it turn out to be too much hardware dependent/too much broken features if ported etc..?
Also, will the USB accessories support will enable the use of an app that will let me use my X8 as a secondary USB monitor?
x8 can run ics!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362557
Correct if I am wrong, but doesn't the x8 has a single CPU with no GPU and that means it doesn't do hardware acceleration?
I think the lag issue with the UI would be a dead end.
x8 has got a gpu, it has adreno 200 if i'm not wrong

The X8 GPU is Adreno 200.
As you can see here: http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_xperia_x8-3403.php
Its 200 Adreno.. Stop bringing disinformation dude... defcon.

Not near the same.hero hac crappy ardeno 130,much worse than x8.but hero has a bit more ram,and thats all.x8 will run ics smoother.

just wait
no matter that,dont be negative,we re running gingerbread and we should not,so,let the developers works as necesary they need,im wait a bit,remember,were talking about linux based,so,is light to can port it too,dont worry,be happy,and just wait bro,you will see what im talking about in a few days,cheers

HTC Desire Z vs U8800 2D performance

Is it just u8800's drivers that make its 2D performance 'sluggish' compared to Desire Z (they both have pretty much the same HW and both oc'd @ 1,5GHz (same Miui 2.1.20 2.3.5, same ondemand governor).
Just wondering 'cause you can see the difference IRL (Desire Z's browser has a lot smoother scrolling and the 2D seems snappier otherwise too).
Becuase ROM probably doesnt have the new GPU drivers This one is with CM7 which has them http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21616241&postcount=292

Nice. Which version of CM was that? Hopefully we'll get the updated driver to Miui soon.

U8800pro worth it?

Yea so does anyone have u8800pro and is it good. Does it have all same specs like adreno 205 except for 1ghz processor. I have had u8800 and it was good but my parents are thinking of an android and they thought about this pro.
Sent from my Optimus 2X
from what i've read in many posts our u8800 cpu is a 1GHz underclocked to 800mhz... it can go up to 1.4 GHz and be very stable, with custom kernels you can overclock it up to 1.8 GHz which might not be as stable as 1400 mhz. u8800pro is pratically the same as the u8800 except for the cpu part.
Thats what i also thought. So that means its a good phone. Strange that only pro has a official ics update. Btw is that good?
