Credits go to genokolar for actually porting the U8860 2.3.6 firmware to the U8800Pro. This builds upon his port.
You may find his port announcement here, and you can download it from here. Thanks to user Skyline111 for the mirror.
Thanks also go to birdyi, who ported the U8860 2.3.6 firmware to the U8860. His port contained some brilliant things such as CarrierIQ framework removal.

This is a 2.3.6 ROM for the U8800Pro based on the U8860 B866 ROM. 2.3.6, naturally, brings a slightly newer version of Gingerbread compared to our 2.3.5 with B540. While I know it's all about CM9 (ICS), MIUI and so on these days, I'm a fan of stock (in the Huawei sense of the term) Gingerbread.
Features (or limitations depending on what you think of some of the following entries) of this ROM:
Rooted (adb also runs as root, too)
(Huawei) DLNA
(Huawei) A task manager that shows open applications with pictures (launching it when pressing Home has disabled in this modification because I found the Recent menu saves more time)
(Huawei) Security Guard, a way of hiding text messages, I think
(Huawei) Traffic Manager – a data counter
(Huawei) Wi-Fi WPS support
(Genokolar) FPS unlocked by default (configurable in enhanced.conf)
(Genokolar) ZRAM (Compcache) enabled
(Genokolar) Changed the autorun.iso path to the image partition so that formatting /data from CWM does not leave you with an empty CD-ROM drive when you plug the phone into a computer
bugreports service turned off entirely so that pressing the volume up button quickly after you've pressed volume down does not leave you with a few seconds' delay and a bugreports folder on your memory card
BusyBox from CM7
Android’s toolbox (poor coreutils replacement; more barebones than BusyBox) has its full set of links installed in /system/bin, so you use Android’s native chmod etc. tools. Why? To match the stock B512 firmware and to ensure developers testing on the U8800Pro correctly hardcode “busybox” in their root programs if needed
Optional lazy CPUfreq governor
Default language and region changed from Chinese – China to English – United Kingdom
Added in boombuler’s AppWidgetPicker
CM7’s Pacman added in to remind you to install Google Apps after adding an account with the Setup Wizard (make sure GApps is installed!)
VoiceDialler.apk added in from B512 firmware (although, to be honest, the microphone quality on my phone is awful…)
Bash shell, fix_permissions script, iwmulticall, MMS.apk, tcpdump and gdbserver and additional ringtones etc. from CyanogenMod (20120107-cm-7.1.0-u8800pro-Geno-en.zip) added in
Phone model changed to Desire HD, so Gameloft games can be bought. This may cause licensing problems with bought Market applications so be careful. (Although, I must admit that giving money to a company that doesn't support our phone seems counter-intuitive.)
Shutdown vibration reduced from 500ms to 100ms because I hate it (especially at night) but understand its usefulness in determining the answer to the question “Has the phone gone off yet?”
Huawei’s god-awful Low Battery notification replaced with a nicer one from CyanogenMod
Widgets actually restore themselves after a reboot! This was fixed by me replacing 2.3.6's PackageManager service with Huawei's 2.3.5 one.
MyCalendar widget from birdyi's port and MyEmail from B512 added in
Fixed proximity sensor dying if the light sensor was on, too.
Stripped down enhanced.conf - only swappiness, VSync and ZRAM settings available. I don't like /system/log.txt being created every time my phone boots and I think using a tool in Android like, say, No-frills CPU Control is the better place to set the frequency. SetXperia has support for setting the phone's CPU voltage.
More languages selectable from the Setup Wizard than just English (US) and Chinese.
Flash Player removed for copyright reasons. You can install it from the Market
Notepad and Richpad removed
Droid Sans Fallback supports more character ranges
Toolbox correctly has "Wi-Fi" instead of "WLAN"
Misc. kernel modules, like in B512, included
But I like the BusyBox tools and want to use them without having to prefix BusyBox everytime!
Just run the bash shell; BusyBox versions of cat, chmod, chown, df, insmod, ln, lsmod, mkdir, mount, mv, rm, rmdir, rmmod, umount, sleep, kill, and ifconfig will become the default while you’re using the bash shell (also nicer, BTW: you get tab-completion, for one) thanks to the CyanogenMod team.
Attempts to remove Carrier IQ. Huawei *do* include Carrier IQ in their firmware.
I’ve done the following to attempt to remove it the best I can:
Edited boot.img to not start Carrier IQ services
Removed Carrier IQ libraries from /system/lib and CiQ binaries from /system/bin
Added lines to build.prop to disable CarrierIQ, taken from the framework.jar file itself.
birdyi has also modified framework.jar to stop the CarrierIQ objects from being instantiated.
Ideally the best way to be Huawei-free is to use CyanogenMod.
I've removed the Cloud+ apps because of this. I've left some Huawei apps in, but I strongly recommend you install PDroid (the patcher works fine with this ROM) and block the more concerning permissions of Huawei system apps.
Kernel changes
Since the kernel genokolar provided with his port had a problem when a program used the light and proximity sensor at the same time – the proximity sensor would die out until the next restart – I took it upon myself to rebuild the kernel available from his github repository with the config from his latest kernel. After comparing his kernel to the source Huawei put out, I could see no code changes that would cause the proximity sensor to die out. Since I was rebuilding the kernel, I thought I’d make a few changes:
Add in the Lazy CPU governor by Ezekeel
Update a patch by stockwell to disable keypad lights (echo 1 > /sys/module/leds_msm_pmic/parameters/disable_button_leds) - use ButtonLock to control
Reverse genokolar’s decision to always allow NV logging – this can be turned on and off from the service menu on a stock ROM anyway…
Set minimum backlight level to 15, from Franco’s kernel. Warning: I haven’t tried setting it to 15 so I don’t know if that value renders the display practically useless, and I don’t know if Android lets you set it to 15 from its settings!
ButtonLock
Not as revolutionary as I'd like it to be, but useful nevertheless. I've written a quick widget, which looks like the Power Saving one, that turns off the button backlight. Useful for when you're reading books through FBReader.
You need to be using my kernel as it has the disable_button_leds patch. The advantage the disable_button_leds patch has over the chmod 444 method is that it doesn't introduce noticable lag. The widget's source is in the same folder.
When pressing the widget's button for the first time, there is a delay as the Superuser allow/deny dialog box takes its time to come up. After accepting, future launches are instantaneous.
If you need something that this ROM doesn’t provide compared to other stock ROMs, I recommend:
Not using it; or
Using a combination of diff, abootimg, Winmerge (or Beyond Compare) and apktool to compare this with genokolar’s original release, and with birdyi's ROM, and add what you want back in
Installation
Note: You must be running firmware version B522 on your device! If you have B540, you need to downgrade. If you have a firmware version lower than B522 (Froyo?), you must upgrade to B522 first. If you're already running a custom ROM, ignore this.
Take out the SIM card if you want the setup wizard to use Wi-Fi during setup.
Install genokolar’s recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343276
Place u8800pro-2.3.6-geno-v1-modified.zip on the internal memory card or an external one (I recommend the internal one to ensure you don’t run into U8800Pro CWM bugs with the external).
Get gapps for Gingerbread and place on your memory card. Find the link using every Android user’s favourite search engine.
I highly recommend using PDroid, but it’s up to you whether you want to use it. If you would like to use it, get the patcher from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357056 and point it to u8800pro-2.3.6-geno-v1-modified.zip. Place the PDroid-v1.27-u8800pro-2.3.6-geno-v1-modified.zip file onto your memory card.
Boot into recovery (make sure that fast boot is turned off in Settings->Applications and hold power and volume up while turning the phone on)
Do a data/factory reset.
Install the ZIPs, starting with u8800pro-2.3.6-geno-v1-modified.zip (obviously).
Reboot!
Install the Google apps (those ones not included in CM's gapps ZIP like YouTube) if desired when prompted – but note that the Market will probably close as you’re doing this as it will automatically update itself.

Too times was a situation, when phone lost connection with wi-fi spot, he see the network, but can't connect. Help reboot.. else working so far without problems, testing..

turned off the wi-fi and got the main bug - does not work 3g/2g data transfer, hmm....

Are your APNs set correctly? In my case 2G works and I've had HSDPA working because when testing the Weather Clock widget (from B522, when I had it in) it would connect using it - I could see the icon in the status bar - and I had the pleasure of having my balance run down each time - I'm not a rich man
Edit: In build.prop, you can try playing with ro.config.hw_fast_dormancy=3 - genokolar had it set to 2, but I changed it back to 3 from the U8800Pro original ROM because I wouldn't be able to connect to my network otherwise.
Hopefully, it's not the case but it could be hardware differences. genokolar, who's work this is based on, being from China, probably has a Unicom U8800Pro, just like I do...
@Zaic
B512? This is for the U8800Pro. I'd advise you not to flash it. I'd recommend using birdyi's ROM. If you're after a certain improvement from this ROM, tell me and I'll try and isolate it for you (as long as it doesn't involve kernel stuff - I don't know how to build U8800 kernels) so that you can use with birdyi's ROM
I have u8800 pro - 100%
My ROM is original unrooted 2.3.5 B512 its one before the latest release which is B540
My ROM still has access to pink screen, otherwise its the same as B540 I guess
SO what should I do first to install this ROM? roll back to 2.2.2 or was it 2.2.3?
Ah, if you're running 2.3.5 already and in the pink screen mode you see a folder called image when connecting your phone to the computer you're ready to go
Hi!
My compliments for the porting of Android 2.3.6 to U8800Pro!
I am using your rom since yesterday and still now I am not having any kind of problems.
Anyway I notice the same bug of the B512 and B540 roms: put your smartphone on screenoff, then wait about 1 minute and fastly unlock the screen and try to pinch to zoom on the home. Sometimes the multitouch doesn't work on every position of your fingers, it only works correctly if your fingers are in the position of principal axes.
Please try to reproduce this bug.
I am using LauncherPro but this bug is indipendent by the launcher (for example I tried also Zeam Launcher, Go Launcher EX, etc etc).
I hope you can solve this bug, maybe kernel-related.
Regards,
kalo86

Sorry for asking, but how do you pinch to zoom on the home screen? I'm using Go Launcher Ex and I know that that has the swipe up gesture but I can activate that with one finger, anyway.
In any case, have you applied the Synaptics touchscreen update? For me it has increased the touchscreen performance greatly. I had one problem that when after unlocking, the touchscreen wouldn't respond unless I turned the screen off and tried again. The update solved that.
If you want to try it, open the service menu (*#*#2846579#*#*), go to ProjectMenu->Upgrade->Touch screen version query and see if it says "synaptics". If so, put the original Huawei recovery.img back on and put the synaptics.img file in a folder called update on your SD card. Use the recovery's "touchscreen firmware update" update option and it will automatically reboot when it's done.
Best regards,
qwerty12
Oh, really thank you for this "news" about the synaptics touchscreen update!
I have a synaptics too, then I am going to update the firmware.
Another bug, still present in B512, B540, Cyanogen and U8860 port: unplug your battery from the smartphone, insert it again, power on, then open your file manager and try to read the sdcard content. At 99% my sdcard is not read, then I have to reboot my U8800Pro and magically the sdcard is read.
Thanks to You and Genokolar for our development!
Regards,
kalo86
UPDATE: I updated the synaptics touchpanel but I have always the bug of multitouch. It is reproducible when you unlock the screen after a pause of 1 minute (about), then you open the stock browser and try to zoom with the multitouch. It works only if your fingers are on the principal axes and not in other positions. I have this bug on 4 different U8800 Pro! It cannot be a singular problem.
So, I have tried a lot of roms, based on B512, B540, U8860, CyanogenMod 7.1, I am sure I will try this bug on the next release because it's mabe a kernel bug due to the multitouch field.
Video demonstration
This is a video which I just uploaded on YouTube with the real multitouch bug.
This bug is in 4 different U8800 Pro.

I really can't reproduce this. I pulled out the battery while it was on, put it back in and started File manager (the one included with Huawei ROMs) and the internal SD card along with my external one were seen fine.

Hello there! I have created a small flashable .zip with some tweaks I came up with, while experimenting with my MIUI V4 by geno.
This should be compatible with CrazyMIUI (as it is based on geno's release), but only if you have the same release number.
Before flashing make sure you have the same MIUI version as the patch (see version number below). Otherwise you can make the changes on your own with a root file manager at the specific version you are using.
Finally, if you don't want any of the included mods, you can delete the corresponding file from the .zip before flashing. For example lets say you don't want Google play to be installed. Open the .zip file, go to system/app/ and delete the GooglePlayStore.apk file. Then flash normally. The update script manages to flash only the included files/tweaks so you should have no problems.
In case you have problems after flashing, fix permissions.
Tested with CWM 5.5.0.4.

Version [2.10.12] Changelog:
NOW BASED ON MIUI PORTUGAL (SHOULD WORK ON GENO'S TOO)
FIX PERMISSIONS FROM CWM AFTER FLASHING. I don't know why but the permissions I am setting doesn't work even though they are the same...
...the rest are the same...
Version [2.9.14] Changelog:
...same
Version [2.9.7] Changelog:
(SAME) Erase the /system/media/video folder. This folder includes some video samples but are useless. I delete them everytime in order to have some more space at the system.
(NEW) Erase some Chinese apps. (supermarket, baidu input, root explorer)
(SAME) Add Google Play (v.3.8.17) as system app because otherwise system can't always update/install apps.
(NEW) Add google Talk because it was killed by the system if it is installed as a user app.
(SAME) build.prop changes. Set composition to gpu, default language english, non-killable launcher.
(SAME) /system/etc/gps.conf tweaks. Use European gps server.
(SAME) /system/etc/enhanced.conf tweaks. Enable ZRAM (SIZE: 80), enable VSYNC (No screen tearing, lower battery consumption, but I think lower benchmark scores), default I/O sheduler: noop.
(SAME) /system/etc/firmware/wlan/qcom_cfg.ini tweaks. Based on sbasil's patch for Aurora. I have doubled my wifi speed!
(SAME) tweaked media_profiles.xml in order to record videos as mp4 (instead of 3gp).
(NEW) added binaries and init.d folder for init.d scripts compatibility. Now every script inside the /system/etc/init.d folder will be executed at startup. A 00test script is by default there which, if it is executed, creates a Test log inside /data. Use it to test if the scripts are executed correctly.
(NEW) fixes some permissions.
Version [2.8.31] Changelog:
(SAME) Erase the /system/media/video folder. This folder includes some video samples but are useless. I delete them everytime in order to have some more space at the system.

If you look at /system there should be a log.txt which has some boot information. One of these should be open zram... if it is on at the enhanced.conf file.
In terms of performance i noticed fewer redraws and faster opening of apps... but maybe it is a placebo...

ROM will be great when sources will be optimized, but tweaks is like a push candy to dead man. Modifications of how ROM works - yes, but tweaks for performance...
As I saying - customize the source, but not that what goes after when all of customizers understand this meaning all goes on the next level of good things

I agree 200% with that but as long as i don't have the time to mod sources and kernel i am just waiting as you are... I am pretty sure that geno isn't making any progress for U8800 apart from updating the MIUI sources so I append my hopes on MIUI. I think there is room for improvement in 3.0.8 kernel and the smali codes of our patchrom, in order to be optimized for MIUI but i cannot be sure of that as long as i haven't dig the codes enough...
Apart from that i am having better performance with these tweaks so i thought sharing them.
Sharing is caring

Hello there guys!
Please Read:
From next week, I won't have much free time, so this is something like a goodbye thread to xda community. This is maybe one of the last mods(if not the last I upload). Of course I will visit the forums every once in a while but probably I won't have much free time available to mod ROMS. Anyway. Let's see the new ROM features
Special Notes - Please Read:
This ROM is based on Final Full B928 ICS Baseband as uploaded by Broxnitas here(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1793014) on xda and is using Official ICS Baseband(404029). Make perfectly sure that you have a working CWM backup, or that you have a copy of your GB amss.mbn file. Alternatively download this flashable CWM .zip that returns your phone back to GB Baseband from here(https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_kPUrNkk3T0QmRkTld5SFh5Vm8/edit?pli=1). If you use any GB based ROM while on ICS Baseband you won't have network access so keep that in mind.Also this ROM is as small as 170mb so you don't need to repartition your system by flashing step1 from official upgrade.Finally System Language is English. Change it like usual from settings(I disabled the annoying to me feature that adapts network's language).
Changes:
1) Removed lots of apps. As usual with my release,you only get a basic system. Install every app you want from PlayStore. This time Sync is perfectly working(tested it personally). Stock Browser is also there.
2) Added Volume Rocker Wake & Search Button Locks Screen
3) Updated hosts file. No more ads in free apps!
4) Added DSP Manager and Trebuchet Launcher (Official CM9 Apps)
5) Removed almost all media files (in order to save space) and disabled camera sounds.
6) Changed default CPU Governor to userspace. System seems more smooth in my opinion.
7) Added init.d (added battery and Wi-Fi network tweaks)
8) Using kamatozko boot.img for better multitasking & unlocked fps by default
9) Zipalign
10) Added Battery Percentage in status bar
11) Updated media_profiles.xml for better HD video recording quality
12) Slightly Jelly Bean themed (Added Default JB Wallpaper + Galaxy Nexus JB Boot Animation). Optionally you can also install Holo Locker from Play Store if you want a JB lockscreen.
Installation Instructions:
1) Copy ROM .zip file to your sd card
2) Boot into Recovery
3) Wipe data/factory reset
4) Advanced->Wipe Dalvik Cache
5) Install .zip from sd card
Reboot & Enjoy!
Note:
You may not need to do Wipe data/factory reset while in recovery in an attempt to keep your apps and not having to reinstall them. However, if ROM does not boot after installation complete, then this is probably the cause.
First Boot is gonna take a while. You'll even get bored But as long as you see the soft buttons light up, then everything went fine.
Download:
http://www.mediafire.com/?zreoo9noqqcrqpb
3G & data usage fix:
Only do the following if you want 3g & data plan internet usage.
Open /system/build.prop with a root explorer
change this line(number 100) from: ro.use_data_netmgrd=false to ro.use_data_netmgrd=true
I've changed this value when I was testing the ROM in order not to waste any money, since the phone gets the time from network and this costs me 1 euro!!!
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Hope you enjoy now!
Thanks To:
Giris for porting newest ics baseband to gb baseband
Broxnitas for the same reason + the actual ROM in which this mod is based on + GB amss.mbn flashable CWM .zip
eng.stk for his CM9 DSP Manager port
matt5eo for his Trebuchet Launcher mirror
kamatozko for modified boot.img
sr21 for Galaxy Nexus JB boot animation
Happy Flashing

3G signal works fine in my phone.
Maybe you didn't change mobile network settings, or you have low 3g signal in the region you live.
You can more easily control your mobile network's type by doing this:
*#*#4636#*#*
>Phone Information
>Set Preferred Network Type
if you see in network type saying HSPA than your are on 3G. If it says GPRS you are on 2G.
Choose WCDMA only if you only want 3g network.
For more information on networks, read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966172
Anyway,I just want to say that the ROM can use 3G. The problem is with your settings

....for me same problem...
I really don't know what is the cause of this.
Have you however see your network type in *#*#4636#*#* menu?
If it's HSPA it's 3g. Here it works ok. Maybe it also works ok for you also, but because framework-res.apk and systemui.apk are modded for battery percentage, maybe 3g icon in statubar somehow "broke".

I check network and it's UMTS but data network doesn't work... I'm at home, my son has the same operator and his phone has HSPA and data network are ok... may be this issue is because i didn't make wipe data/factory reset to not reinstall my apps (my previous rom is yours B927)... tomorrow i'll try to reinstall your ROM but first performing all wipe (data, factory reset, cache and cahce dalvik) and system format...
however thanks for your fantastic job (now i use your rom B927, perfect for me)

@Ironbeast to restore search button original function do the following:
open a root explorer
go to /system/usr/keylayout
open qwerty.kl as text
change: key 217 POWER WAKE
change to: key 217 SEARCH WAKE_DROPPED
Save & Reboot
Btw did you mod build.prop to change your dpi or phone model?
Cause this can cause problems with playstore

I have downloaded the ROM from original site and flashed as per your recommendations in STALLION thread. It's great. I have some queries.
1. There were five patches whereas you have given seven.
2. How do you lock the screen? Is it only to be locked with POWER button. I use third party screen lock app tied up with long press search button which is not working here as this function is tagged with camera. Any alternative for screen lock?

1. Sorry, i made a mistake, there are only 6 of them, not 7. I dont know why u have only 5, and it doesnt realy matter.
2. I dont use any buttons to lock, screen timeout locks itself, or i use power button, but if u want, u can use search button, by doing this:
System Settings>System>Button>MI button>Trigger Toggle>Lock

If you want to put power button to search button go with root explorer to system/usr/keylayout open qwerty.kl with text editor,find key 217 and change it from ''CAMERA'' to ''POWER' and in the same line from ''WAKE DROPPED'' to ''WAKE'' .Save and reboot.Now pressing the search button closes the screen,long pressing it brings up the power menu.
People this is the best MIUI so far and the latest one with final release date 14/1/2013,Everything works.This is a special rom started by Geno,then Hay modded it,then Ry09iu modded it farther and lastly Sakura combined the mods of all of them together with his own and released this amazing rom.you got to try it

No worries about ram unless you have 200apps installed like all roms
installation:
be sure you are on official gingerbread or gb based custom rom.
boot into recovery,reboot recovery
wipe data/factory
wipe cache
wipe dalvik
wipe battery stats
format system
reboot into recovery
Do the same wipes again for a second time
install the rom
reboot normally
reboot into recovery and install ''20130101_U8800Pro-MIUI2.3.7 by FCS fix 20130104-12_update.zip''
reboot normally
reboot into recovery and install atmel fix zip (if you are on atmel)
reboot normally
reboot into recovery and install geno's gapps
reboot normally play a bit with the new rom
reboot normally again
THIS IS THE BEST WAY
You also need to replace some chinese system apps with the english ones,i will upload them later with instructions
and also replace some files like hosts,gps etc.i will upload them too.
please OP add these to the first post because there will be confusion!

1. Sorry, i made a mistake, there are only 6 of them, not 7. I dont know why u have only 5, and it doesnt realy matter.
2. I dont use any buttons to lock, screen timeout locks itself, or i use power button, but if u want, u can use search button, by doing this:
System Settings>System>Button>MI button>Trigger Toggle>Lock

To korekore.
Great post. Very supportive.
I agree to you with first point. Five patches replaced by one single patch and I am using the same.
I will surely try your method OF search key lock /power button. I will surely try that.
Lately there are four more files of which I am using the gapps lite. My touch screen send to be working ok and I have not flashed the atmel kernel mod. BTW how to know whether I have a ATMEL or SYNAPTICS hardware?
Lastly waiting for Your English version apks.
Great ROM. Dream of similar JB ROM.
Thank you.

On your phone dialer you dial *#*#2846579#*#*
A menu will appear,then you go to project menu->upgrade->touchscreen firmware upgrade->touch screen version query and it will show you if it is ATMEL or SYNAPTICS.
Be aware however that this menu does not appear on all custom roms. For example in CM7 if you try it, nothing will happen.
For what is this FIX?
For me the 4 button does not lighting

That fix improves speed, stability, adds V6 SuperCharger script, improves power saving, etc.
No button backligt is not a bug, but you can "fix" it by doing this:
Download any root exploring app, go to sys>class>leds>button-backlight> edit it like text, and write 255>save it

Yes,I tried it too on MIUI but like CM7 it doesnt work in these roms. It works on official/stock rom 100%, i checked it on my official rom before installing this MIUI.
If you have a recovery backup of the stock/official rom you can restore the official rom and try it there, it will work there 100%.
Which kernel to b flashed for this Rom?
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
