[Q] Aurora ICS Installion - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

[Q] Aurora ICS Installion - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

How should I install Aurora ICS for well game play performance and well battery performance? (Which B5xx version, Which CWM version, format/system? )
I can't speak English well.

i use cwm 5.5.0.4 and i always wipe the 3 caches and fix permissions and mount and format system... and with aurora some games work well, but others dont really work, i dont think this is based on wich huawei rom u install to upgrade to gb...
in concern off battery performance when i used this rom i manage to have with a regular use of my phone 2 days off battery, only care i had was not to install facebook app...
off course i dont spend all day playing but i have always data on with 3g and most of the time wifi open...
hope it helped

Hello.
This is where you can look at the tutorial and get the files to install if you feel like jumping into it ...
ICS Step by step and files
Note: if you do flash this and it hangs at the boot screen, pull the battery and flash it again and it should work. Some have had to do it 3 times.
I take no credit for this ROM and full props go to the developers of the above post and all those working to make this happen.
First the look and feel of ICS is nothing short of superb. The speed as of now is similar to all the other ROMS I have tried with a little chop here and there but nothing major.
Yes lots of little issues and items that do not work like the camera and GPS but not a huge deal for me so I am willing to stick to it.
Battery so far is decent. 13 hours and 43 min. on the first charge to calibrate and sitting at 24% still. This included allot of playing with the phone and reboots to test jigs
As for the issues that are somewhat bothersome, they include the following.
1. No home or search button. I know same as usual when installing an i9000 ROM but the key mappings from the GB ROMS does not work.
2. BLN (issue all around) will remain lit until you wake the phone to get the notification.
3. They had to do some funky stuff to get 3G to work so it lags to start. Not a huge deal cause it does start and remain working.
I will be continuing to use this ROM and hopefully everything will be working soon (these guys are flying. Also I have been told that the folks over at Glitch are already working on the kernels for the ICS port so that is promising as well.
If there are any other out there running this on our phone chime in with your thoughts or fixes if you have any.
Thanx
Bucky

Thanks for starting this thread. Can't wait to hear about your progress.

Alpha 7
Hey here is the update ...
Installed the Alpha 7 update today and I have to say this rom is fantastic.
1. Camera is fixed and works like a charm.
2. GPS locked in seconds and accurate indoors!! Big improvment over all other roms I have used.
3. HW Acceleration is fixed and working from what I can tell
4. You Tube is fixed and can watch video
Still on the not working list
1. Can not plug the phone in while off as it just restarts. this is a work in progress and known issue
2. Can not record video
3. Will not read a SIM card for contacts and so on (thank god for Google sync)
4. Still no home or search buttons (I think I may need to work on that on myself unless a kernel is released)
SO my review so far ...
No real issues with the general use of the phone. Text, phone, email and web are solid, I have installed apps from the market with no issues and not one FC yet. Battery life is good and nothing is taking over. I have been able to use the phone all day and still have lots left over before going to bed and plugging in. I have not been through a full battery as of yet but that is what I am working on now.
Memory - Last I looked I had 174MB of memory remaining which is the highest I have seen.
ICS is really smooth and fast while moving around. I am going to continue to play with it and report back here for everyone.
I don't use a whole lot of apps so there won't be much regarding those.
Thanx for stopping by and I will post pics when I can.

Thanks for the update. From your review, it sounds like an awesome rom. Can't wait to try it but need them to fix the video recording first. Although I might just cave and try it out just to see what the fuss is all about
Can always restore my current setup... lol.

Update ...
been getting the SOD today and not sure why, I mentioned above that the HW acceleration was working, I misunderstood and it is not fully working yet.
I found that the system partition is very small. There was an update which required copying libs and there was not enough space left to do this (2MB). Not too sure if this is due to coming from MIUI or just a ROM issue.
Alpha 8 was released but had quite a few issues so not flashing that one.
Daily use has been great so far (except for the SOD) with no reception or data issues.
I am still working on the home and search buttons but I think that will get fixed with a kernel update. I tried the keymap file but these buttons do not even register in recovery so I get nothing in the ROM either.
More to come ...

Haven't tried this (likely won't as I need the phone for work) but buck have you tried the manual key fix - some directions in our thread on putting on Darkys 10.3.

Hey buck , was doing some searching in teamhacksung's thread about their ICS port, and someone suggested to change the following and then the key mapping for our phones will work properly. Not sure if the file system is the same for both, but definitely a bit of info if it isn't!
All you have to do is change this part on**arch/arm/mach-s5pv210/mach-aries.c*

Hey, have a telus fascinate too. Know how to flash and all that fun stuff. Just don't fully follow where you make the changes for key mapping...if you could just guide me in the right direction, I can figure the rest out...
changes in the kernel zip? the beta zip? after flashing? something completely different?
thanks a lot!

There are no changes to be made with this ROM, they are built in. Just flash and all good.
I will post update tonight after work.

There are allot of BT related posts in the QA. I personally do not use any BT but I do have a headset that I will try when I get home.
Seems to be a battery drain issue too as my phone is now dead but I have not calibrated so we will see after I do that.

AT LEAST YOU GUYS HAVE IT RUNNING!!
I am having a hell of a time trying to get it to work. I have tried so many different ways to get it up and running but no luck.
I've tried installing it from MIUI 3 times but all I get when trying to boot into ICS for the first time is a Black Screen after the FuguMod boot screen.
The funny thing is that the 4 soft buttons at the bottom light up still.
So I then decided to try the JVT way:
-Flashed JVT DARKYROM (ODIN)
-Lagfix OFF
-FULL WIPEs (factory reset, cache, dalvik)
-FLASHED CM7.1 STABLE
-FULL WIPEs (factory reset, cache, dalvik)
-Flash ICS BETA1
-Flash kernel
-FOR THE SECOND TIME:
-Flash ICS BETA1 AGAIN
-Flash kernel AGAIN
Same issue, black screen after the FuguMod boot screen, buttons still light up.
So i tried a couple more times in a few different ways based off what I have already tried, but this time, before booting into ICS for the first time, I installed the 'Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip' package.
Same issue. I'm not having any luck here.

OK so here is what I did ...
Started from MIUI 1.11.18
1. Do a nandroid backup
2. download all the files to the SD card. This includes the ROM, Kernel and super user fix
Links:
Kernel:http://ice-cream-sandwich-sgs.googlecode.com/files/FuguModICS_GT-I9000_update.zip
ROM:http://ice-cream-sandwich-sgs.googlecode.com/files/ICS_4.0.1_r1-Beta1-i9000.zip
Super User:http://ice-cream-sandwich-sgs.googlecode.com/files/Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip
3. Boot to recovery and do factory reset, wipe cache and davlik cache
4. Install the Kernel first and reboot now
5. Boot into recovery factory reset and wipe cache and Davlik and Install the ROM then reboot now
6 Boot back to recovery and install the Kernel again with out the wipe
7. If after reboot you do not have root then boot to recovery and flash super user fix
8. reboot and it should be working at least it was for me
It seems to me that you are missing the first flash of the kernel before the ROM. It sets up the file system from what I gather
Note: If needed flash the kernel and rom then kernel again with all the wipes as mentioned above.
I know there are allot of folks having issues getting it to run. Not too sure if it was the way I installed MIUI that might have made the difference.
My battery is charging now so I can calibrate it and see how it goes after that (it drained pretty quick today) lol.
I hope you can get it going cause it truly is awesome
Still not working:
Can not charge with the phone off
Google TTS stops working
Phone will not vibrate for SMS or email when in silent mode
BLN stays on for notifications until the phone is taken out of sleep (can be turned off)
Compass is why off (have not attempted to calibrate yet though)
11 MB left in the system partition (not much but I do not think there will be many changes there)
Video play back is choppy and some will not play
Bucky

regarding the black screen:
- had that too... I let it sit on the black screen for 2-3 minutes and then it went to the boot screen animation (a multi-coloured )...that for a few minutes...then finally booted.
How i got it working:
a) Started on MIUI...booted into clockwork
b) Backup
c) Wipe data / factory reset and cache and dalvik cache
d) Install rom and then kernel
e) Restart
f) Install rom and then kernel
g) Restart and wait very patiently for a little while
h) Once it all works, can reboot into clockwork and install superuser
Good luck! I really think the rom is nearly stable enough for daily use...
-------
Also have the no vibrate on silent... haven't tried the other stuff yet.
Oh and TTS hasn't crashed on this version yet for me...
Astrid glitches a little to a lot.

Changing from google tts to picco tts solves the problem there. As for the other stuff it is all reported as known.
I am using as a daily on my phone and no issues with general use. Still testing battery and that seems to be a bit of an issue with regard to Android OS as usual

So to install this ROM I would just have to install it as per totallydubbed's instructions? I don't want to flash miui if I don't have to to try this out.

{Info}Simplyfying the ICS install on Nexus S i9023.

first of all please look around , all your answers are available here in the forums,
make sure you have a computer ready to help you with fastboot,
my recovery kept getting wiped out but it was easy enough to push it via fastboot,
This thread has the best source for your manual ICS update for nexus S i9023.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398186
1. take a updated backup of the GB rom, then take a separate backup via titanium backup just to be safe. also backup all your required data(call logs / SMS)
2. into the recovery, make sure to wipe every thing including the dalvic cahche, chache, battery stats.
3. reboot once then install the update.zip(assuming you named the downloaded ICS rom into update.zip)
4.keep rebooting after every install of the update.zip then recovery then superuser.
5. install the super user file thats available here on the forums(2.3.6 or something). it works for time being. then when you have acess to the app market, remember to manually update it to 3.07(updated for ICS).
6. When you are done you have a fully working Rooted Nexus ICS.
7. i9023 users remember to actually get the i9023 version when it is released... because Just because this version works for US doesn't mean that it will give the best experience.
*.those complaining about poor battery life remember it takes a few 0-100 charging cycles to get a better estimate. and you need the estimate from zero. meaning you should have wiped the battery stats.
*. also most of the applications are working for ICS but don't expect them to work just because they were working on GB. they have not been updated for ICS. I know the web browsers keep crashing (i tested the ICS web browser, Dolhin HD and Mini, Opera Mobile and Mini).
*. softwares like data enabler and juice defender or 2x battery have been rendered SOMEWHAT irrelevant, because you can disable the background data quiet efficiently from the ICS Ui itself.
This is a rooting guide where you can also find the links for the CWM recovery and super user 2.3.6. trust me that it works.

[Q] No Mobile Data after leaving wifi zone

Hi,
I am using hyperdroid ROM for a long time now with many versions. With some installations, I have issus with my mobile Data connection. When I enter my home, it connects correctly to my wifi but when I am leaving again and the phone looses my wifi connection, it usually doesnt reconnect for mobile data. I also cannot solve this problem by switching to airplanemode. The only possibility is, to restart the device - till I leave home next time...
With a few installations of Hyperdroid Rom, i havent had this issue at all but for now, it persists.
Do you have any clue und that?
Thanks,
cmoe

Sorry I don't understand what you are writing. The only thing I understand is that you don't wanna use ICS roms... Hyperdroid is a GB CM7 Rom... no ICS

Have you wiped data/cache before flashing?
Sent from my NexusHD2 using XDA

yes, i allway wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik
EDIT: But if i unfurtunately didnt this time... is there a way to fix it without a complete reinstall?

i think it's better to check with another rom version.
then check your problem.

Hm, Think I'll wait then till next version of ROM as after each install, I do my special personal tweakings (removing apps like launcher from system-partition and replacing with launcher and apps I need) and I don't have time at the moment to do so with a clean install =D

[Q] Android 4.2.2 based roms!!

Hi, I have installed CM10.1.3 stable on my US Cellular XT901 electrify M. The ROM is same as for XT907. everything works fine until after few days my some of the apps specifically games starts freezing giving error ' process.system not responding' and game also force closes. After that every other game or browser like chrome start to Force close giving same error. I reflashed the ROM in clean way.
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
manual format system
mount system(tried without this step also, nothing changes)
flashed ROM zip
wipe dalvik cache
after activation reboot
flashed Gapps
Tried slim bean ROM build 7.1......having issues with musicFX and poweramp compatibility.
tried different 4.3 ROMS they all feel somewhat laggy.
So can anyone suggest me any solution for CM10.1.3? or suggest another 4.2.2 based stable custom rom.

Back up whatever you need to and reflash back to stock 4.1 using Matts Utility ( Look in Developement Section). Then download and read the instructions on how to flash Liquid Smooth. Its by far the smoothest and astest rom ive used on my Droid M. Except i cant get my bloody Whatsapp contacts to sink. Good luck.

I used liquid smooth and loved it... except batery life which sucked really bad!... it made my M's batery life feel as bad as my Galaxy Nexus was... Terribad!
..
I've tried AOKP and never looked back, batery life is awesome!
Also, big part of Liquid Smooth's slickness is due to the launcher it comes with => Nova Launcher.

Thanks for the reply.
can you provide the link for Liquid Smooth V2.9 because i have v2.8 and it is not working fine. Not able access quick settings menu!!
Does making Nandroid restore to stock 4.1 will help?

Random reboots on every rom after H2OS

Hey guys.
I don´t wanted to create a thread about this but after some troubleshooting without a solution i don´t know what to do.
After i installed (i think it happens after that) kingmercians hydrogen os, i doesn´t matter which rom i use (cm13, cm12, aicp, ......) i got random reboots. I did´nt install any new app, tried it with gapps, without gapps.... Sometimes it happened right after the first boot of a new rom, sometimes while i restored via TB (no system apps!). It´s not reproducible for me.
I don´t want to make it factory fresh but i know this could be the last way.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Did you wipe before you installed new rom ? , also have to say that cyanogenmods like 12.1 and 13 are still unstable tried all myself too . I suggest you to wipe everything but not internal storage , after you installed those ROM's and gapps did you wipe ? also what gapps are you using ?

First, thank you for your reply!
Yeah.... Every time i switch between roms i wipe everything, cache, data, dalvik and system. And after gapps, i wipe dalvik and cache.
The strange thing is, the roms i used before without any problems (installed for example razor rom which i still had on my internal memory) causes reboots. That never happens before.

hey, i have random reboots and it always happens when I am in another location that is not my home. I thought that it was related to location and wifi but that is not the case. I clean flash and I accidentally wiped out my internal storage. My phone works now but please help
