This rom is based on the official firmware B540, so android's version is 2.3.5. This is a rooted version of the B512 fw with many tweaks and improvements.
To install this rom you firstly need to upgrade to the official 2.3.5 fw (be careful: update to B512, not to B540). Then you need root permissions and the CWM recovery.
These are the links where you can find the HOW-TOs:
update to stock 2.3.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326525
root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326525
recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343276

Hi,
thank you for this work!
Anyway I have to ask you something about your custom rom.
Does your Rom have the quick settings widget in the status bar?
Did you fix the accelerometer problem? For example if you try to move on the street view (of Google Maps) with the compass mode, you understand that the accelerometer has a problem.
Can you explain what problems you solved from the stock 512 Gingerbread 2.3.5 rom from Huawei?
Thank you in advance,
regards,
kalo

the rom doesn't have the quick setting widget...but the current release is only the aplha0.
i have just tried with an app called "accelerometer test" if the accelerometer works but seems that it doesn't.
from stock B512 i have not solved any problem because, using it for a month, i have not found any kind of problem. mainly i have edited the build.prop and i have added some scripts to improve performance.

yes, you must upgrade to official 2.3.5 (B512) because basebands are different.

I know well your work,cause i own an O1 p500,,,,,but i don't use anyone cause i didn't wanted to change baseband with lgtool and i stay with mik's rom....and btw for O1 there are plenty of good roms to use.......
PS...i made a lot of changes on 3 weeks which i own u8800 pro and i made a really fast and fully functional stock rom 2.2.2,,,,i delete about 14 system apps ,edited build.prop,created init.d folder,some other modds and a little theming,,,,and i like it very much ........maybe i create a thread and a video to saw people how good stock rom can be made......
As you understand it's very difficult for me to change baseband,as i still couldn't found a way to downgrade again if i don't like the new baseband.......and i want to have my fm radio not loose it.....
Someone must cook a rom for .32 kernel(old baseband)

you need the boot.img from your phone (get it using the pink screen mode) and the stock update.app (the bigger one).
then extract the update.appusing dsixda kitchen, copy the system.img from working folder to original update and cook your rom.

Great rom. Works flawlessly on my Impulse 4G
This is my first rom. I don't know if it's working, because i had to send my phone back. I need someone who can test ist.
Details
It's based on the Aurora ICS for the X5 and on the MIUI from ajhavery for the Desire Z. It's ported with the method of proxuser.
Bugs
It contains all bugs of Aurora ICS
Info
Q: Will it be supported?
A: At first i need to know if it's working. Then i will need a little bit of help, because i'am only 15 years old and have not enough time.
Q: Will there be updates?
A: Yes, when it's working i will release every time updates when the other devs update their roms.
It's my first rom so don't be hard to me if anything isn't working well.
Credits
Thanks to dzo for the Aurora rom
Thanks to ajhavery for the MIUI rom
Thanks to proxuser for his guide
Install:
I think you must do a full wipe.
Put the zip you have signed to your sdcard
Do a full wipe
Install the rom
Download
Mediafire
NOTE:
PLEASE READ THIS! THE ROM IS NOT SIGNED! SIGN IT BEFORE YOU USE IT!
It would be nice if anyone would be able to sign the releases, because none of the apps can sign it and i have not a linux PC.
I am not sure but I think it would be way better to try porting Desire Z ROMs because it has same chipset while U8150 has nothing simliar to U8800 except the brand
Well, its a beginning, thanks
You can use zipsigner 2, its on the market and its free... Later ill try your room! Many many thanks!

Even though there was a porting, I advise you against installing official ICS, because is still not well written and the ram isn't well managed, on my phone the B926 was laggy because there were only 10MB of free memory. Why you would install U8800+ ICS when you have Aurora?

Thanks for all the replies guys! I was going to try it but since you guys said no then it's a no.
I have tried installing Aurora and failed multiple times. I need a proper tutorial that has worked for other people. If you guys can lend me a tutorial then I will be more than happy to use it.
The problem I kept encountering, while installing Aurora, is that when I installed Aurora, the phone would boot up and it wouldn't go past the Huawei logo, and then after a while it would restart. It did this in a non-stop loop.
Please lend me a tutorial.
Thanks.

Hey guys. Thanks for the help. I did wipe all that data before but that wasn't the problem.
What I was doing wrong was that I download the Aurora 4.1 update, when I was supposed to get the original Aurora 4.1 first and then install the update on top of that.
If anyone else had this problem then do what I did.
Thanks for all the help guys! :highfive:

When going from Aurora to Icepika, Icepika installs and reboots..goes to the boot logo and then goes completely black with NO movement at all.
I have to remove the battery and reboot, only to find it has removed CWM recovery so I cant get back in to the phone again.
I put official gingerbread on the mmc with dload folder and recovered, re-rooted and put CWM recovery back on and then installed Aurora.
I tried this twice with the same results, followed the instructions you posted...any ideas?

I have upload a "little" record of this ROM running on my u8800. I think this rom has maked to u8800pro, but runs on u8800. I tell this because in Setting section, in "CyanogenMod version", is written "10-20121015-UNNOFICIAL-u8800pro", i'm not sure... :\

Yeah but thats an easy fix, just change that in build.prop
