Sorry, no specific forum for this device here but, can someone out there tell me how to unlock/remove the lock pattern of the Huawei Ideos U8150-D without deleting the data as I forgot what it was?
I use to have a u8150 the only way is to use Gmail or edit build.prop I think.

How will I edit the prop file? The phone is not rooted.
Gmail? How? I tried 150 times with incorrect pattern and it just says please wait and try again in 30 seconds.

Hi guys
I am using a HTC Desire HD and I can not find the application in the market place.
So i've checked android market on my PC, I can see the natwest app but it is telling me that my device is not compatible. Any ideas?
Can I get hold of the APK from my brothers phone who is able to download it fine on his Galaxy S2?
Thanks!
It looks pretty cool. I need to save money so it would be good to have something to constantly remind me of how poor I am. I'm in Japan so I wouldn't be able to use it or install it from here.
I'm curious if you can install the APK and get it running. Root Explorer (File Manager) is the type of app which will easily find it probably in the data/app folder.
Seeing as it's a free app, if you can get the apk please pm me. I'd like to try it too just out of curiosity.
Have you modified your LCD density in your build.prop? Try changing it back to 240 then install from the market.
Hi Guys,
I have the exact same problem. Running Desire HD with AR 6.1.3. I am having problems downloading this app and a few others. I have tried the following with no luck.
- Changed LCD Density to 160 and cleared market data and cache
- Changed LCD Density to 240 and cleared market data and cache
- Used LCD Resolution to set the density instead of Rom Toolkit and repeated the steps above.
I am currently using market version 3.1.6 but have tried downgrading to market 3.1.5 but this did not help, also tried all of the above combinations whilst resetting the google services framework with no luck. (told this may help)
I do not understand the checks that the market / google perform on each device to determine compatibility but would it be possible they are checking for root via the SU command - maybe this was a condition of natwest being a secure app? (I have heard they have done this with google video)
This is the only app that I really need, and cant find an apk!
Thanks for any help!

True, but I wouldn't suggest installing a Banking app from anywhere other than the Android Market.
@alex-qts - Did you reboot between making the changes? AFAIK the only what the market would know if you had root was if it requested root, and you accepted it. I could be wrong.

I rebooted after every screen change, but each time I go to install I get the same yellow incompatibility bar and no download button. Strange thing is - I was also having this same issue for the autotrader app, and the LCD density / clear cache trick has worked for that app, but not the natwest? strange.

I had exactly this problem and also wanted to install this only from the Market.
I have had success by following these instructions to change the build fingerprint to something that is supported. I use ARHD 6.1.3.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18147141&postcount=53120
If it works then credit to wjsturgis3.
It contains the following edit to build.prop which fixes the market issue. The existing ro.build.fingerprint line is replaced with the following:
# Switch fingerprint when there is a US release of 2.3.5
# Original
# ro.build.fingerprint=htc_wwe/htc_ace/ace:2.3.5/GRJ90/150597.1:user/release-keys
# Modified for better Market access
ro.build.fingerprint=htc_wwe/htc_ace/ace:2.3.3/GRI40/87995:user/release-keys
Rebooted and I was then able to download directly from the Market and have just passed security and it's working a treat.

That includes the fingerprint fix but I wouldn't use it as it also has some other items which you may not want, such as Advanced Power Menu.
To do it yourself - You need to be rooted, take a nandroid backup, and then take a copy of the original build.prop file found in /system/ - then just edit the original using ES File Explorer and the built in ES Note Editor to include the new fingerprint line:-
ro.build.fingerprint=htc_wwe/htc_ace/ace:2.3.3/GRI40/87995:user/release-keys
AND put a # symbol at the beginning of the old ro.build.fingerprint line to comment it out. Still useful for future reference.
Reboot and it should work, but just for completeness, I also cleared the data from the Market in Settings>Applications.
Hope this helps,
John
thanks guys I can confirm that editing the build.prop file works! I now have the natwest app!
I simply used the following command to copy the build.prop file onto my computer, then edited and copied back to system folder using root explorer (renamed old build.prop that was in the system root)
adb pull /system/build.prop build.prop
Sorry if my instructions are not great, but it was my first time editing the build.prop file.
Thanks Again!

Heres the link
I am using BlackIce and had to change the DPI back to default before I could download the app, but in the past i have managed quite adequatley using the natwest website which I believe has greater functionality over the app, anyway will give it a go once I have cleared security
Thanks for the link. It's telling me my phone isn't compatible?
I've not changed my DPI settings, but how can I check the settings in case the ROM has changed it? (I'm running ARHD 6.1.2)

Thankyou for the fix. Didn't even know they'd released an app till this thread and then to find I wasn't compatible. At least I already knew how to fix it.
Will hit thanks when I get home.

open build.prop (/system/build.prop), with a suitable text editor and you shuld find a line similar to below
ro.sf.lcd_density=200
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If that reads anything other than 240 your DPI has been changed.
Many thanks for the help, mine says 240.
What does it actually mean? Is it the resolution? Is it noticeable if I set it to 200, and will everything else still work ok?
I know this is off topic, but it is a complete nightmare trying to search forums with tapatalk.

Here the ICS transition for MIUI 2.1.20 For U8800!
Download and put it in SD card.
Flash it in Recovery without wipe, Reboot, success!
Please backup your framework-res.apk first under system/framework in case any error occur.

Something is wrong with zip package. Cwm says: Can not open zip package. Installation aborted.

Works fine for versions 1.6 and 1.7.
Have you tried a full wipe after installation?

Maybe duplicated entries? Its a problem with your contacts, not about the rom

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?

No, as Qqqxxxzzz said it'll brick your phone. Be sure to avoid installing any ROM customized for another phone even for a different model like pro.

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:
There is a port in development section called b927.Have a look.
