Are there custom roms that work on this phone? Why isnt this phone in its own thread? I have spent 2 days trying to figure out what works and what doesnt. I am now at the lovely blue screen and not booting. If this phone is so different why was it not split off like the U8800 and U8800Pro?
I think the Ideos X5 is the u8800-51
Ideos x5 is u8800.

So any rom for the u8800 will run on the u8800-51?

This is FALSE, Ideos X5 (u8800) is NOT the same as Impulse 4G (u8800-51), and is Impulse 4G is also NOT the Pro model (u8800H), they are different hardwares. Read all the pages of this thread (there aren't too many to read and are as recent as March 2012):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1296485
At present there is no confirmed, fully-functional Gingerbread ROM for the Impulse 4G (u8800-51). Not even from Huawei. You are safer just leaving it stock with Froyo until someone gets off their butt and finishes the work on the Gingerbread port.
If this were a Samsung or HTC device it would have already been done a week after u8800-51 hit the markets. :/

Ideos x5 = u8800
Ideos x5 pro = u8800pro
Impulse 4g = u8800-51
u8800H = u8800 with different HW version.

hello,
I have an AT&T impulse 4g myself and no, there are no roms at the moment.
However, that being said, check out this excellent solution by skipped:

This will make the guts of your At&t phone into a u8800pro, just be sure to follow the guide to the letter, then you too can experience the joy of flashing roms!

When are devs going to start working with this one, do you need any resources such as a phone in order to start?

Voted. I just don't see any rom developing in this thread so according to forum rules it should be in general.

Hello everyone!
I haven't rooted/ overclocked a phone before.So I could need some help (I know the basics). I have the phone for 2months now and I'm thinking about overclocking it to 1-1.2 ghz. Is there anyway back from rooting and overclocking (becourse of the warranty...).And what's TempRoot? Will I be able to overclock it after updating it to 2.3 (becourse of the kernel)...(IF the update schould come.....who knows?)
Sent from my IDEOS X5 using XDA App
1ghz is ok. that's for sure. I dont think you need higher, but if you need, just lower it after need. To remove root and OC, just install stock rom. 2.3 custom roms, yes. Official which is for u8800pro, no.
I mean the official u8800/ x5 2.3 rom that hasn't come out for now...
DobI need a custom kernel to overclock? What's temp root?
Sent from my IDEOS X5 using XDA App
Yes, there is no official, but there is custom roms. I dont know what were i thinking when i wrote my answer. Yes, you need custom kernel, so custom rom does the job. Temp root lasts until restart. so when you restart your phone, you'll lose it.
But there will COME an orginal 2.3 soon™ Are there problems with custom roms?(wifi....) Is it easy to flash orginal back? Os there a kernel to overclock on orginal rom?
And thx for your answers!
Sent from my IDEOS X5 using XDA App
There is always problems, but those are usually written in the post.
You can check this link. It is ultimate guide for u8800 in modaco. It includes how to return to official.
There is no kernel for original rom.
Thx for the link. What's the best ideos x5 rom? What's the most "stock android like" rom. Maybe Oxygen? Will the orginal 2.3 be installed like an custom rom? Or is it something like an update? I don't want to break/lose warranty of my phone...How can I reset to stock when the phone has an problem at booting or volume keys?
Sent from my IDEOS X5 using XDA App
So the orginal kernel doesn't support overclocking? And there's no overclock kernel for the stock rom...?
Sent from my IDEOS X5 using XDA App
I have oxygen-2.3.1-u8800_r1 for over a week now.
Super Fast (It is running on 1024 Mhz) ,touchscreen reacts superfast ,no delay , no lag, ,superstable and the only problems that there are some apps that need reinstalling , like wifi-tether and google-voice and a few other I do not remember right now.
I edited the system/etc/media_profiles.xml and turned sample frequency to 30.000
and the sound with the recorded video is perfect now.
Battery life is good (altough I only switch wifi on when I need to download something because I do not have an umlimited mobile-data package)
For me , the Oxygen rom is perfect, Many thanks to the developer

Hi all,
How can I get the SIM to be unlock in Froyo. I am using a different operator from the one I bought the phone from, and until now I can only unlock it by using B517, but I have to stick with all kernel .35 Roms, and I really want to use .32 as well. Is there any firmware available so that I can have my phone unlock while in .32 kernel ROM?
Regards,
Pedro Mateus

I have flashed my phone probably one hundred times till today without any issues, but I will keep an eye on the different models...
My problem now is that I want to revert to .32 kernel and I can´t because I cannot find any firmare that would unlock my phone in .32 kernel. At the moment it is unlocked and available to all network operators sim cards in .35 kernel. Is there a firmware to do the same in .32 kernel (froyo)

Hello! So i got back my phone, where i have left it to get it fixed. I updated to 2.3.5, rooted and then tried to install aurora 5. Wifi wasn't working so i thought it might be because of the version. I tried other versions of aurora but that worked neither. I then tried miui elite and also wifi is not working. Though in official 2.1 and 2.3 it's working just fine. In custom roms it keeps saying "connecting". Could someone help me?
