[Q] Wht is the best rom to update? - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

Hey
I still have Froyo on my U8800 and I want to update to a flawless rom
wht shall I choose
official GB
oxygen
Aurora
....etc

It deppends of what do you want to do with your phone.
Install all the tree and make your choice
Sent from my Huawei Ideos X5 using xda premium

well I want...
improved functions
radio
longer battery life
no essential fails (like no haptic feedback or missing wifi ..etc like the official GB)
play games that froyo can't

i think you must try it one by one.

I would choose a .32 kernel based ROM, as they are still more stable at the moment. Oxygen by dzo would be my first choice

Which rom is stable and less bug?
i am newbie..

I Have Tried Lots Of ROM. I Can Say Best ROM It CM7 Till Now.

The first thing I did when I bought my phone summer last year, was root it and install a custom rom. Didn't even boot it to look at the stock set up first!
First rom I installed was Oxygen, and I have it say it worked great. Stable, fast, good battery life, and never had any problems.
Last month I decided I needed a change, not because there was anything wrong with Oxygen, but just because once in a while I like to play around with different roms.
Tried Aurora, and have to say it's great. Not quite as speedy as Oxygen and battery doesn't last as long, but pretty and damn stable, haven't had a crash yet.
Tried MIUI one afternoon, but not to my liking, too far from the Android experience imo.
Can't go wrong with either Oxygen or Aurora, depending on what you're looking for.

ICS. Should I?

Hey guys!
I am running CM7 Typhoon atm.. but I want to try ICS. Wondering if the builds are good/stable enough to be a daily driver? Is it worth upgrading now or wait till later?
Cheers
I think yes, but just for try it. ICS right now for HD2 is very unstable.
Yersterday we had got new version of Typhoon. I've been using it since I bought my HD2.
IMHO
i too am running the newest typhoon and am slightly interested in the new ICS builds. besides it being currently unstable, what other issues are there with ICS? I'M under the assumption that not all apps are compatible with it, or they dont fully function.
i'm all for waiting until everything is a little smoother, and i do follow the progress to an extent. i was just wondering about the current status of where is it now before i'd update.
Already on ICS
There are a few good options...
My requirement was a working camera. This took a little while but the Devs are great and I now have a good camera and working ICS CM9
I decided to try it with the SD build for TyTungs port of CM9.
Is it perfect, not yet, but I have not booted back to CM7 since I booted up CM9.
I am going to wait for one or two updated before going in with the NAND build but the SD build is great if you are using MAGLDR and can run the dual boot options.
Check out this forum for NAND details:

and this one for SD details:

Big Thanks to CyanogenMod and TyTung for all their work
Note: TyTung also was working on a AOSP version of ICS. I am note sure but it looks like he may have droped the AOSP in favour of CM9.
I relly like the CMx OS's and like CM7, CM9 has added CM functionality and options. You can see that CM9 is still being worked on in the menus in that there are a number of place holders in the menu, that do not yet have functionality, but the core ICS4.0.3 is working.
Good luck All,
To my mind there is no good enough ics rom(for today) for everyday's using.
Best was miui 4 works smooth, battery life is good but in my region rom doesn't see sim card...
Dev's have much work to do.
I would definitely suggest trying a SD rom first to get an idea of what it's like.

Hey! Catch me up!

I left the forum awhile ago - about the time NAND was starting up. Where are we now? My last was Elegancia on my card with all the other stuff that made it fun. Couldn't find a stable build, too many reboots to fix stuff, and the battery was driving me nuts. Still have the phone (HD2 TMOB) and would love to get it to work right. Any improvements?
stable? 2.3.7
latest w/ HWA - tytungs ICS V2.0
Wow, you've been gone a while then! Well, the HD2 is still running strong- obviously, the hardware in our beloved HD2's isn't powerful enough to play a lot of the latest games with ease (such as GTAIII), but it's still performing well with ICS ROMs (check out Xylograph's AOKP ROM, it's great! Or MIUI V4 from smokin901)
A lot of the ICS ROMs are still labeled as being in beta, but for the most part they seem to be pretty stable to me- I haven't had issues with random rebooting or anything on AOKP, MIUI V4, or NexusHD2.

[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}
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1690156
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] [L7] Is CM10 good enough now for a daily rom?

I really like stock android and was wondering if the latest CM10 nightly is stable/good enough for a daily rom. The current stock rom is still sluggish and I absolutely hate LG's UI, so I want to change.
well first time when i installed cm10 it was very smooth and fast i think to stay with it, but after weeks, month it became very laggy and slower that before.. now i installed back stock and will stay with it. I'll try cm10 again when stable version will come out..
Sorry for bad english
I've been using cm10 for a month now on my P705g, and there's been no problems so far.
Actually new version is 23.04.2013 CM10Nightly and I have one problem. My phone restarts several times per day...

[q] miui 2.5.25

Hi guys,
Does anyone still have this version of miui by Will5 on his hard drive? I can't download it from will5 thread.
It would be much appreciated.
Cheers
I know it doesn't help your problem much, but have you tried CM10.2 yet? It is such a better ROM in every way than any other I've used on my trusty MS2, Will5's MIUI included.
Thanks, but I actually use cm10.1 by Tezet. It's the most stable and smooth (after some optimizations such as disabling a lot of apps in hwa acceleration) for me. Everytime I try cm10.2 from czeshop or englemars I meet some problems like with bluetooth ad2p, some reboots or hangs... they are not enough finalized IMHO. Now I put all my hopes in kitkat
Anyway, going back to topic, I wanted to find this version of MIUI for my other MM2 to check the difference of performance between this good old miui that I really enjoyed back then and CM10.1. But I am afraid that no one hes this version of MIUI on their hard drive anymore
I finally manage to found that latest version of GB MIUI and it's such a pleasure to find it back. It's so much faster than any of the other roms I have tried. I've been on tezet's CM10 for almost a year, but going back to this miui rom makes my phone ultrasnappy! I forgot that pressing the phone button could make the dialer appear in less than 3 seconds... same for SMS and almost everything in the phone!! You click, it appears, period. No waiting time.
I'll still follow the evolution of KitKat, but even kitkat (I've only tried Engle-Mars one) is not as fast and quick responding as this good old MIUI for the moment. I hope dev will manage to optimize them to that level of snappiness!
I would recommend using KitKat. For me it turned out a lot faster than the CM10.x versions :good:
I don't know about the Engle-Mars Version, but the one of Czechop still reboots on me once a day. Featurewise they are both already on par with Tezets last Rom(but faster).
