Sounds promising.
TBH all you need to do to start with is created a deodexed ROM with the current improvements implemented (OC'd bootloader).

Thx for your suggestion! This is my unordered To-Do-List:
CM6
CM7
MIUI

THANKS from china ，from a college student ,hope everything goes well

Just made the stock Froyo bloatware-free.
Features:
rooted
superuser
replaced stock Launcher with LauncherPro
removed all bloatware
added Android Terminal
some other smallies
Just struggling around with WiFi but rest is ok.
Once that's done I will start with CyanogenMod. You may check my site as I created a placeholder for the new ROM. Once it's ready it will be available for download there!

Yesterday huawei released a update package with enhancement of WiFi , it may help you on WiFi .
Again ,thanks for your work

Make sure you've got the right wifi driver modules being loaded by the boot image to correspond to the libs.
Is this based off b136?
Edit: Also you claim to have removed the bloatware, I would have to assume you just mean the stuff in system/app and not stuff from /cust. If it's the latter I'm wondering what you've done there considering the different cust versions.

[Q] It is important to update the Firmware before Installing a Custom Rom ?

Hello Everyone,
I've been reading the "Ultimate Guide to the Huawei U8800" at the Modaco Android Forum, and until know I've been able to root my phone, install the recovery and fix the reversed Camera Bug.
But the fallowing part of the Tutorial talks about Firmware Update, is this really important before installing a Custom Rom ? And, if it is can anyone explain me why ?
Thanks in Advance,
Luis Da Costa
PS: Sorry for my bad English :S...

Well someone here at xda wrote that with the newest firmware you get a baseband-update for some devices (he was not sure I think). I did not apply the newest firmware, maybe it was already installed, at least I did not encounter any problems.
You cannot break anything by applying the newest update from Huawei. So if you want to make sure, go ahead. Just do not stick to the Huawei-ROM. Do yourself a favor and install void, Oxygen oder Miui. I use Oxygen, it is based on Android 2.3.5 which is just very fast and the battery lasts about 2 days. You won't get much support for the Huawei-ROMs and there are some bugs. But there also are bugs with the custom-ROMs, so read the description first.

I would strongly suggest updating to the latest B138/B162 before installing a custom Rom. To my knowledge, a stock Rom installation does the firmware upgrade on the screen/internal modules as well.

Thanks for your help. I just have one question. Since all links from Modaco are down, where can I download the lastest firmware ?
Thanks in Advance,
Luis Da Costa

As long as yours is a U8800 and not U8800H, then you should be just fine.

B138/B162 are the same?
I thought that B162 was newer than B13x versions.
Can you explain please?
Thanks

They are not the same. B13x are generally made for the whole world, except China. Being the home country, China has a dedicated set of Roms - B158, B160, B162 versions.
B138 is as new as B162, they were both released at the same time. I don't like B162, the icons and interface are slightly different.
I would recommend B137/B138, preferably 138 as it has the latest drivers.

Ok, thanks for the quick explanation.

Advise
For those that want to update the firmware of their devices, don't worry (I was very scary indeed :S), the phone will boot, and reboot, and reboot, and reboot .... until you see and Android screen ^^
OH THE CAMERA IS SO FAST COMPARED TO THE ORIGINAL FIRMWARE !!! Thank you ! A lot really

I've used all roms and they work very well (I still prefer Oxygen), but I cannot use them because they need and External SD Card to take picture and listen to Music....
So until there I have no choice that stay with the Original Rom :S...
If only I can help solve the problem...

Thank You!

Put the dload folder on sd card and press vol+, vol- and power the downgrade starts automatically. If pink screen appears, it is wrong

there's no need for that, just backup the phone with cwm

I can not rooting the device, the following message appears: "Following the device does not have drivers installed" "IDEOS
USB/VID_12D1 & PID_1038 & MI_01 "what should I do?

That's because you have not update the drivers.
You must to go to control panel, then click into device manager and there you check the IDEOS device, right click and click on update, then search manually (Mobile Partner > drivers > select adb_driver) and that's it.
sewa2k I read your "how to" thread on mobilecloseup.com and I have few questions to you:
1. the reboot bug could be fixed?
2. is there any mod more "stable" for the u8800-51 which can supports 2.3?
Thank you in advance, gracias

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL]LeWa ROM

I made a new version of LeWa ROM! But to be precise, I crossed LeWa ROM and CyanogenMod 7.2.0 by FrozenAceTeam. You may ask, why? Because I liked the design of LeWa ROM, and speed of CyanogenMod 7.2.0 by FrozenAceTeam and I decided to merge it seems I have come!
I post the beta version and more to update and improve the firmware will not!

Not exactly. The topicstarter was not an interpreter of LeWa firmware. He used tsl1610`s work and not even thanked him at the topic.

Yes, you're right, I took as a basis for his work, not thanked, because I wrote from the phone, now add credits in the first post

So basically you crossed files in both zips?
To be honest Lewa by itself is just as fast... but thanks for the effort anyway.

Well special thanks to tsl1610

[Q] Can we dual boot?

Hello everyone! So im using auroraSP and i'm very pleased with it! i mean battery consumption is great and everything is so smooth! but i like to try new roms like all these jellybean based roms. So i was just wondering is there any way that i could dual boot my favorite and stable rom with other roms? I found some apps on the market but i'm not really sure if they're gonna work or just mess up and brick my phone. Have you tried it? Do u know if it can be done?

Yes, It is possible

Any English guide? Also im just wondering. What about flashing mods? In which of the roms are they going to be added?

Yeah that would be great! And i think it'll help the development of our phone! I'm sure there are a lot of guys who are bored backing up and restoring their roms for trying an other one for just a few hours
