Newbie Help Question - MIUI (Old) Versions - bugs and stuff - Huawei Ideos X5 U8800

Hi all
Have owned a X5 (U8000) since April 2011. In December 2011 I was introduced to rooting and custom ROMs via a friend
He rooted the phone and installed MIUI 1.11.25 - which has worked well, with two issues Green Lines in standard YouTube Playback and not being able to WiFi Hot Spot.
Today after many months of procrastination I purchased ROM Manager 5.5.2.8 and installed MIUI 2.12.20.
The two problems I have still remain sadly and I have introduced a third - the 'bold' headers in ROM Manager are missing and I can only see the words below.
Wondering if anyone knows a fix for above issues - have read all the threads I can find and see nothing mentioning these issues (the WiFi Hot Spot was fixed in the release just after MIUI 1.11.25).
The next question - I want to try CM10.1 which requires the official 2.3.5 kernel (?) - I am having trouble locating a mirror that still works.
Thanks all

I hope these aren't the only fixes in this release... Btw someone check if this ROM has Huawei's cloud service enabled along with all other possible fixes (wifi, touchscreen feedback, dalvik cache...)

what is ''normal''?
maybe after a few days we will see an advance version?
from facebook/huaweidevice:
"Hi Goh, the trial 2.3 Gingerbread upgrade for the X5 is currently available for download. However, please be informed that with the trial version, you may encounter disconnections with certain WiFi access points. Our R&D team is currently working on this matter to ensure stability on its WiFi access. We aim to release the official upgrade by 31st December. Thank you for your patience."
I've been trying to download this for days (it was up in early December but has since been updated) but all I get is server unavailable. Can anyone upload the file for me?

Hi,
The link is this:
EDIT: I cannot post links here.. send me a PM

GB 2.3 Final release
Huawei just anounced that the ROM launched at 28.12.2011 is the Official One, they called it Enhanced Version...(of what???).
If this is the last effort by Huawei to do an Official ROM to U8800, it is a very very BAD effort!!! Shame on you Huawei, i expected better!
I HOPE that the final release it's still to come...(it's christmas!!!)
Bye!
Is is worth to upgrade? I still have 2.2 version on my Huawei
I don't understand one thing why huawei doesn't use phone's online update ?
Never did, since version b133 till b522 there was no online updates, while checking through phone. Why do they think this menu is for ?
I have a bug:
After trying to download updates from the market, the download progress can't be removed from the notification area. Even after reboot, it gave me several errors but progress is still there.
To summarize: Won't recommend to anyone and consider myself huawei devices.
BETA v3
Hi all! After update to 2.3 GB of BETA ver3 (because I do not believe that this is the final product) has no problem with the SD card, with the freeze and reboot. Still not working haptic feedback and 4 functional keys backlighting. Display still very sensitive. In settings - info about the phone - online update - Update the firmware: there are 2 updates for M886 !!!!!! I tried, after reboot start installation new FW and end with an error . After restart everything is OK, the phone works .... uffff! M886 is different hardware, but I had to try
After root no USB CD function, long time to access massstorage internal-external SD.
I updating from stock 2.2 B138 ROM with IMEI back with ToolBox 5Irom, after update to Beta v3 IMEI again zero !!!!!
They call the 12-28 released version a normal one. But the actual meaning should be a uniform version.
All the initial integrated apps are same in the oversea vertion and in the verion released in China,like Facebook,Twitter,even though these two service are not available in China.
And this version also support many language for the uniform using.

CM9

I am not allowed to post in the development subforum yet, because I have too few posts so far, therefore this ends up here.
I have come upon the same error as obscure.detour, I can not install several common apps, due to them not being 'compatible with this version'.
This occurs since Alpha 7, never before that.
I own the US version of the TPT.
why not post directlty in the ICS CM9 thread ??
And what is the purpose of this thread ?
obscure.detour, As the fella stated in the OP, he has too few posts yet to be able to post in the dev forum.
I dont know the issue with the apps. Maybe a data wipe and restore with Titanium may help.
i had to resort to using a modified play store, after i did it fixed the compatibility issue for almost all apps.. not a perfect solution but a work around for now. take the vending.apk out of the zip and put it in your /system/apps folder and reboot, may have to clear data for the app too dont remember if i did or not.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1548459
A hacked market is included in the rom but for some reason it doesn't work always. I'm working on another solution right now. Until its finished you could try the market xrscyr mentioned (its a different version as the one included in the rom)
Original ICS is not so far away.
Hope it'll be released in Mey. Then I get a lot of work because ICS for my Galaxy Note should also come out.
So im looking forward for working camera and GPS mods on K1 then. Meanwhile i could live with rooted Android 3.2.1.
Sad to say, that might not happen:
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Slate-Tablets/Ice-Cream-Sandwich-for-Ideapad-K1/td-p/638437
Still maybe some good news though. People are saying the K1 hardware is being repackaged for sale as the Medion Lifetab P9516, and Medion is marketing it as ICS compatible. If true and Medion releases ICS, their ICS build could maybe be independently ported over for the K1, since the hardware would be the same if the rumor is true.

[Q]MS2Ginger Camera Preview

Hi all,
I've just flashed my Motorola Milestone 2 with the ROM below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169038
It previously ran the stock 2.3.4 which was pushed out by Motorola late last year. I rooted the device using SuperOneClickv2.3.1 and then rebooted via Droid 2 Bootstrapper and followed the instructions in that post to install the ROM. The device now boots into MS2Ginger 3.0 successfully and all functions work - except the camera.
Unlike other posts on the forum I can use the hardware button to enter the camera. But there is no image preview on either the camera nor video modes. However, if I "take" a picture, the picture is taken successfully and stored to my SD card. It's as if the preview is just not appearing, but the camera is actually functioning. My symptoms are the same as the poster below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1515840&highlight=camera+preview
To this end I am a bit lost. Any help or pointers would be gratefully received!
I'm having the same problem.
New Milestone 2 updated to UK 2.3.4 SBF then installed MS2Ginger 3 according to instructions in aforementioned thread (I think I followed pretty closely).
I cannot:
- Play video in Youtube app or Flash (not tried anything else)
- See any preview in the camera app.
Both just display black where the video would be.
Would love to post in developer forum and help them fix this bug (and help sort my own issue too!) but for silly 10 post rule.
I've reposted over in the MS2Gingerbread thread. Hopefully someone will see it and pick up on our problem..
Thanks!
Have you made any progress with it yourself?
I think I'll move on to a different ROM soon as it's a show-stopper. It's unfortunate because I was loving everything else about this one.
I had many problems with MS2Ginger 3 too, even after two full wipes and re-installing, it was still unstable, so I gave up: got back to retail 2.3.6 and now I'm on tezet cm9 and will soon update to this one
Now I got so much used to the ICS interface that I can't go back to GB

[Q] may 13 paranoid android launcher problem

Hi. Before the latest PA ROM update (may 13), I had my launcher working great at 720p 160 DPI. When I use these settings now, I get huge gaps between the rows. Help?
Thanks

You might try the appropriate thread in development (albeit the 5th of May version) here or use Google+ to report this issue.
Other than that I can only recommend going back to a build that did work for you. You're using bleeding edge versions, so expect issues, bugs, and virtual nuts and bolts flying around at times.

Actually, neither the development thread nor Google+ is the appropriate venue. There exists a thread right here in the Q&A forum for AOSPA help, and the official bug tracker is at colormeparanoid.com.
Like you said, the OP should expect issues as he's flashed an alpha version of the rom. From the tenor of the post, it seems that it may have also been a dirty flash. If so, they a clean flash should be attempted prior to considering this a bug.
So where can I find a stable version of the ROM?
You have a few options on how to proceed. You can try a clean install to see if the problem was caused by dirty flashing, you can use a third party launcher such as Apex, or you could go back to an older release such as 3.15, http://tinyw.in/xQxR
The screenshot I attached shows the problem - gaps between the rows. Anyone else got this? I've flahsed newer PA versions with the same problem on each.
Since I rolled back to the 3.15 version it has come back to normal. But this isn't the solution ; I don't want to be stuck on an old version.

Bluetooth call issues with every AOSP rom

Hello everyone,
Sorry if this is obvious or a known bug but i've searched through a dozen of AOSP threads and found nothing satisfying.
So here's the story :
- I have clean flashed LineageOS 14.1 official 20180110 a week ago but i have those distorted voices when called over any bluetooth device (tried car and BT Speaker). On their thread someone says that it actually has been fixed in 20180103 build but the problem is still present though we're already one build ahead since then.
- Anyway, I decided to change my rom and try out AOKP. I clean flashed it today. Working fine, except for that exact same bug.
- Tried AOSPExtended, same thing.
So do all AOSP roms have this bug? I can't believe it since apart from 1 or 2 posts in Lineage's thread nobody seems to care in any AOSP rom.
If (and i hope so) the answer is no : could a kind soul show me some good AOSP rom without this problem?
Thanks for caring
Same for me on Galaxy S7 (herolte G930F).
Tried newest LineageOS and AOKP - directly after setup. No other changes made. Music over bluetooth works as expected. Phone calls imposible.
I found a Video here which shows exactly what happens:
Google: "s7 edge lineageos bluetooth Youtube":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utDsXrCY5N0
Also some other People seem to have the same problems. See other thread (Post #1999):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ial-lineageos-14-1-galaxy-s7-t3529197/page200
Thanks for the infos !
I didn't see the post 1999 is LOS thread, seems like the build.prop is a good fix but unfortunately it doesn't work on latest LOS build.
Will try on AOSPExtended with the same editing on audio_hal property.
EDIT : Works on AOSPExtended ! Didn't try AOKP yet
Hi can you please explain how did you fix this ? happen exactly the same for me, thanx
