Credits go to genokolar for actually porting the U8860 2.3.6 firmware to the U8800Pro. This builds upon his port.
You may find his port announcement here, and you can download it from here. Thanks to user Skyline111 for the mirror.
Thanks also go to birdyi, who ported the U8860 2.3.6 firmware to the U8860. His port contained some brilliant things such as CarrierIQ framework removal.

This is a 2.3.6 ROM for the U8800Pro based on the U8860 B866 ROM. 2.3.6, naturally, brings a slightly newer version of Gingerbread compared to our 2.3.5 with B540. While I know it's all about CM9 (ICS), MIUI and so on these days, I'm a fan of stock (in the Huawei sense of the term) Gingerbread.
Features (or limitations depending on what you think of some of the following entries) of this ROM:
Rooted (adb also runs as root, too)
(Huawei) DLNA
(Huawei) A task manager that shows open applications with pictures (launching it when pressing Home has disabled in this modification because I found the Recent menu saves more time)
(Huawei) Security Guard, a way of hiding text messages, I think
(Huawei) Traffic Manager – a data counter
(Huawei) Wi-Fi WPS support
(Genokolar) FPS unlocked by default (configurable in enhanced.conf)
(Genokolar) ZRAM (Compcache) enabled
(Genokolar) Changed the autorun.iso path to the image partition so that formatting /data from CWM does not leave you with an empty CD-ROM drive when you plug the phone into a computer
bugreports service turned off entirely so that pressing the volume up button quickly after you've pressed volume down does not leave you with a few seconds' delay and a bugreports folder on your memory card
BusyBox from CM7
Android’s toolbox (poor coreutils replacement; more barebones than BusyBox) has its full set of links installed in /system/bin, so you use Android’s native chmod etc. tools. Why? To match the stock B512 firmware and to ensure developers testing on the U8800Pro correctly hardcode “busybox” in their root programs if needed
Optional lazy CPUfreq governor
Default language and region changed from Chinese – China to English – United Kingdom
Added in boombuler’s AppWidgetPicker
CM7’s Pacman added in to remind you to install Google Apps after adding an account with the Setup Wizard (make sure GApps is installed!)
VoiceDialler.apk added in from B512 firmware (although, to be honest, the microphone quality on my phone is awful…)
Bash shell, fix_permissions script, iwmulticall, MMS.apk, tcpdump and gdbserver and additional ringtones etc. from CyanogenMod (20120107-cm-7.1.0-u8800pro-Geno-en.zip) added in
Phone model changed to Desire HD, so Gameloft games can be bought. This may cause licensing problems with bought Market applications so be careful. (Although, I must admit that giving money to a company that doesn't support our phone seems counter-intuitive.)
Shutdown vibration reduced from 500ms to 100ms because I hate it (especially at night) but understand its usefulness in determining the answer to the question “Has the phone gone off yet?”
Huawei’s god-awful Low Battery notification replaced with a nicer one from CyanogenMod
Widgets actually restore themselves after a reboot! This was fixed by me replacing 2.3.6's PackageManager service with Huawei's 2.3.5 one.
MyCalendar widget from birdyi's port and MyEmail from B512 added in
Fixed proximity sensor dying if the light sensor was on, too.
Stripped down enhanced.conf - only swappiness, VSync and ZRAM settings available. I don't like /system/log.txt being created every time my phone boots and I think using a tool in Android like, say, No-frills CPU Control is the better place to set the frequency. SetXperia has support for setting the phone's CPU voltage.
More languages selectable from the Setup Wizard than just English (US) and Chinese.
Flash Player removed for copyright reasons. You can install it from the Market
Notepad and Richpad removed
Droid Sans Fallback supports more character ranges
Toolbox correctly has "Wi-Fi" instead of "WLAN"
Misc. kernel modules, like in B512, included
But I like the BusyBox tools and want to use them without having to prefix BusyBox everytime!
Just run the bash shell; BusyBox versions of cat, chmod, chown, df, insmod, ln, lsmod, mkdir, mount, mv, rm, rmdir, rmmod, umount, sleep, kill, and ifconfig will become the default while you’re using the bash shell (also nicer, BTW: you get tab-completion, for one) thanks to the CyanogenMod team.
Attempts to remove Carrier IQ. Huawei *do* include Carrier IQ in their firmware.
I’ve done the following to attempt to remove it the best I can:
Edited boot.img to not start Carrier IQ services
Removed Carrier IQ libraries from /system/lib and CiQ binaries from /system/bin
Added lines to build.prop to disable CarrierIQ, taken from the framework.jar file itself.
birdyi has also modified framework.jar to stop the CarrierIQ objects from being instantiated.
Ideally the best way to be Huawei-free is to use CyanogenMod.
I've removed the Cloud+ apps because of this. I've left some Huawei apps in, but I strongly recommend you install PDroid (the patcher works fine with this ROM) and block the more concerning permissions of Huawei system apps.
Kernel changes
Since the kernel genokolar provided with his port had a problem when a program used the light and proximity sensor at the same time – the proximity sensor would die out until the next restart – I took it upon myself to rebuild the kernel available from his github repository with the config from his latest kernel. After comparing his kernel to the source Huawei put out, I could see no code changes that would cause the proximity sensor to die out. Since I was rebuilding the kernel, I thought I’d make a few changes:
Add in the Lazy CPU governor by Ezekeel
Update a patch by stockwell to disable keypad lights (echo 1 > /sys/module/leds_msm_pmic/parameters/disable_button_leds) - use ButtonLock to control
Reverse genokolar’s decision to always allow NV logging – this can be turned on and off from the service menu on a stock ROM anyway…
Set minimum backlight level to 15, from Franco’s kernel. Warning: I haven’t tried setting it to 15 so I don’t know if that value renders the display practically useless, and I don’t know if Android lets you set it to 15 from its settings!
ButtonLock
Not as revolutionary as I'd like it to be, but useful nevertheless. I've written a quick widget, which looks like the Power Saving one, that turns off the button backlight. Useful for when you're reading books through FBReader.
You need to be using my kernel as it has the disable_button_leds patch. The advantage the disable_button_leds patch has over the chmod 444 method is that it doesn't introduce noticable lag. The widget's source is in the same folder.
When pressing the widget's button for the first time, there is a delay as the Superuser allow/deny dialog box takes its time to come up. After accepting, future launches are instantaneous.
If you need something that this ROM doesn’t provide compared to other stock ROMs, I recommend:
Not using it; or
Using a combination of diff, abootimg, Winmerge (or Beyond Compare) and apktool to compare this with genokolar’s original release, and with birdyi's ROM, and add what you want back in
Installation
Note: You must be running firmware version B522 on your device! If you have B540, you need to downgrade. If you have a firmware version lower than B522 (Froyo?), you must upgrade to B522 first. If you're already running a custom ROM, ignore this.
Take out the SIM card if you want the setup wizard to use Wi-Fi during setup.
Install genokolar’s recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343276
Place u8800pro-2.3.6-geno-v1-modified.zip on the internal memory card or an external one (I recommend the internal one to ensure you don’t run into U8800Pro CWM bugs with the external).
Get gapps for Gingerbread and place on your memory card. Find the link using every Android user’s favourite search engine.
I highly recommend using PDroid, but it’s up to you whether you want to use it. If you would like to use it, get the patcher from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357056 and point it to u8800pro-2.3.6-geno-v1-modified.zip. Place the PDroid-v1.27-u8800pro-2.3.6-geno-v1-modified.zip file onto your memory card.
Boot into recovery (make sure that fast boot is turned off in Settings->Applications and hold power and volume up while turning the phone on)
Do a data/factory reset.
Install the ZIPs, starting with u8800pro-2.3.6-geno-v1-modified.zip (obviously).
Reboot!
Install the Google apps (those ones not included in CM's gapps ZIP like YouTube) if desired when prompted – but note that the Market will probably close as you’re doing this as it will automatically update itself.

Are your APNs set correctly? In my case 2G works and I've had HSDPA working because when testing the Weather Clock widget (from B522, when I had it in) it would connect using it - I could see the icon in the status bar - and I had the pleasure of having my balance run down each time - I'm not a rich man
Edit: In build.prop, you can try playing with ro.config.hw_fast_dormancy=3 - genokolar had it set to 2, but I changed it back to 3 from the U8800Pro original ROM because I wouldn't be able to connect to my network otherwise.
Hopefully, it's not the case but it could be hardware differences. genokolar, who's work this is based on, being from China, probably has a Unicom U8800Pro, just like I do...
@Zaic
B512? This is for the U8800Pro. I'd advise you not to flash it. I'd recommend using birdyi's ROM. If you're after a certain improvement from this ROM, tell me and I'll try and isolate it for you (as long as it doesn't involve kernel stuff - I don't know how to build U8800 kernels) so that you can use with birdyi's ROM
I have u8800 pro - 100%
My ROM is original unrooted 2.3.5 B512 its one before the latest release which is B540
My ROM still has access to pink screen, otherwise its the same as B540 I guess
SO what should I do first to install this ROM? roll back to 2.2.2 or was it 2.2.3?
Ah, if you're running 2.3.5 already and in the pink screen mode you see a folder called image when connecting your phone to the computer you're ready to go
Hi!
My compliments for the porting of Android 2.3.6 to U8800Pro!
I am using your rom since yesterday and still now I am not having any kind of problems.
Anyway I notice the same bug of the B512 and B540 roms: put your smartphone on screenoff, then wait about 1 minute and fastly unlock the screen and try to pinch to zoom on the home. Sometimes the multitouch doesn't work on every position of your fingers, it only works correctly if your fingers are in the position of principal axes.
Please try to reproduce this bug.
I am using LauncherPro but this bug is indipendent by the launcher (for example I tried also Zeam Launcher, Go Launcher EX, etc etc).
I hope you can solve this bug, maybe kernel-related.
Regards,
kalo86

Sorry for asking, but how do you pinch to zoom on the home screen? I'm using Go Launcher Ex and I know that that has the swipe up gesture but I can activate that with one finger, anyway.
In any case, have you applied the Synaptics touchscreen update? For me it has increased the touchscreen performance greatly. I had one problem that when after unlocking, the touchscreen wouldn't respond unless I turned the screen off and tried again. The update solved that.
If you want to try it, open the service menu (*#*#2846579#*#*), go to ProjectMenu->Upgrade->Touch screen version query and see if it says "synaptics". If so, put the original Huawei recovery.img back on and put the synaptics.img file in a folder called update on your SD card. Use the recovery's "touchscreen firmware update" update option and it will automatically reboot when it's done.
Best regards,
qwerty12
Oh, really thank you for this "news" about the synaptics touchscreen update!
I have a synaptics too, then I am going to update the firmware.
Another bug, still present in B512, B540, Cyanogen and U8860 port: unplug your battery from the smartphone, insert it again, power on, then open your file manager and try to read the sdcard content. At 99% my sdcard is not read, then I have to reboot my U8800Pro and magically the sdcard is read.
Thanks to You and Genokolar for our development!
Regards,
kalo86
UPDATE: I updated the synaptics touchpanel but I have always the bug of multitouch. It is reproducible when you unlock the screen after a pause of 1 minute (about), then you open the stock browser and try to zoom with the multitouch. It works only if your fingers are on the principal axes and not in other positions. I have this bug on 4 different U8800 Pro! It cannot be a singular problem.
So, I have tried a lot of roms, based on B512, B540, U8860, CyanogenMod 7.1, I am sure I will try this bug on the next release because it's mabe a kernel bug due to the multitouch field.
Video demonstration
This is a video which I just uploaded on YouTube with the real multitouch bug.
This bug is in 4 different U8800 Pro.

I really can't reproduce this. I pulled out the battery while it was on, put it back in and started File manager (the one included with Huawei ROMs) and the internal SD card along with my external one were seen fine.

I am now with EMUI because I could not flash xposed on MIUI8 now.(I could use phone without xposed:silly
But other Chinese users said that these bugs will not influence your daily use.
Wow, this is like a dream come true. Do you think this ROM will be updated to fix the bugs (especially random reboots)? I'm looking forward to use it but I would prefer if there was a little bit more stable version for daily usage. Oh and by the way, what happened? Custom ROM based on Android 6.0 for Honor 6? Did Huawei finally release ALL the sources?
As for the SIM icon - I read on his blog that this problem happens only for the Sim Card #1. I think (but I'm not sure) than in MIUI you can actually mark SIM cards as #1 or #2 in settings. Maybe this bug could be "fixed" by simply changing the settings and marking SIM card as #2?

right now, nothing is a big issue, other than signal display.. unless it's perfectly usable.. and signal issues are quite common in miui ports.. honor 5x had it too. but solved eventually

6.12.12 is the first built for Honor 6. Since Ry09iu has been made so many ROMs for H60, like FIUI, Mokee, Flyme4, Flyme5, MIUI6,MIUI7, IUNI OS, BaiduOS, Tencent TOS, and so on!
So I think He will not give up ..
The way to build MIUI8 for honor 6 is that MIUI has put out patchrom, which help developers to make roms easily.
(So it is possible to make a CM13.0(Well, now called Lineage OS) on the same way, But no one did it...)
As for the SIM icon...Well, some Honor 6 supports TWO SIM CARDS.
Thanks for your answers. I installed it right now (on top of official B860 with TWRP 3.0.2). Unfortunately I seem to have a problem with my IMEI and Baseband. Every few seconds pop-up window appears, telling me that my Device ID is unknown and it couldn't find IMEI, therefore some Mi Account options like MiCloud will be unavailable. In my Settings > About Phone it says that Baseband is also "Unknown". I'm doing another Wipe Data / Factory Reset and we'll see how it goes. Other than that the ROM seems to work OK, however there are some chinese apps.
EDIT
Nope, it's even worse now. After doing a wipe in TWRP, phone boots up and shows the starting configuration screen. I choose language, press Next and it shows up the message that there is no SIM card. I press "Skip" and phone instantly reboots. It's the same every time.
EDIT2
OK, I figured what was the problem at the first time - I flashed OpenGAPPS just after I flashed MIUI, which was not a good idea, I guess, and caused the issue described above. I formatted everything in TWRP and reinstalled MIUI only (no GAPPS). System started and had the original MIUI configuration (before it was different, probably due to the openGapps). There are, however, some bugs.
First of all, the configuration can't be finished in my language (Polish). At the step where you can choose to enable or disable "Find my phone" option it would just kind of hang (you can't finish that step). When I pressed "Next" it would just slide back to the same screen over and over again. I couldn't get past that step. However when I switched the language to English in first step, the configuration went fine. So if you have troubles and you use other language than Chinese / English, then I recommend you finish the first-time setup in English and later on switch the language to the desired one in the settings.
Problem with SIM card is quite annoying. Device doesn't recognize SIM card (even though it might actually work) and the icon is flashing all the time at the status bar. Because of that Mobile Data switch doesn't work. By default Mobile Data is enabled all the time and you can't turn it off with the switch nor with the settings (settings crash when you try to go to anything SIM related). The only way to switch on/off mobile data is by connecting the device with USB cable and using ADB commands:
adb shell
svc data disable <- disables Mobile Data
adb shell
svc data enable <- enables Mobile Data
There's also plenty of chinese apps (some chinese store + chinese VOD). The browser also has some chinese texts + some options have chinese left-overs (Mi Account Settings). The performance itself is quite good and it's a good start. However for daily usage it, in my opinion, needs a bit more polishing. Would be nice if we had someone here that could make a port for Western countries like the modified KangVIP (removing chinese apps, repairing western languages and so on). Unfortunately I don't have that kind of skill so the only thing that I can do is to report bugs I noticed

Thanks for your answers. I installed it right now (on top of official B860 with TWRP 3.0.2). Unfortunately I seem to have a problem with my IMEI and Baseband. Every few seconds pop-up window appears, telling me that my Device ID is unknown and it couldn't find IMEI, therefore some Mi Account options like MiCloud will be unavailable. In my Settings > About Phone it says that Baseband is also "Unknown". I'm doing another Wipe Data / Factory Reset and we'll see how it goes. Other than that the ROM seems to work OK, however there are some chinese apps.
EDIT
Nope, it's even worse now. After doing a wipe in TWRP, phone boots up and shows the starting configuration screen. I choose language, press Next and it shows up the message that there is no SIM card. I press "Skip" and phone instantly reboots. It's the same every time.
EDIT2
OK, I figured what was the problem at the first time - I flashed OpenGAPPS just after I flashed MIUI, which was not a good idea, I guess, and caused the issue described above. I formatted everything in TWRP and reinstalled MIUI only (no GAPPS). System started and had the original MIUI configuration (before it was different, probably due to the openGapps). There are, however, some bugs.
First of all, the configuration can't be finished in my language (Polish). At the step where you can choose to enable or disable "Find my phone" option it would just kind of hang (you can't finish that step). When I pressed "Next" it would just slide back to the same screen over and over again. I couldn't get past that step. However when I switched the language to English in first step, the configuration went fine. So if you have troubles and you use other language than Chinese / English, then I recommend you finish the first-time setup in English and later on switch the language to the desired one in the settings.
Problem with SIM card is quite annoying. Device doesn't recognize SIM card (even though it might actually work) and the icon is flashing all the time at the status bar. Because of that Mobile Data switch doesn't work. By default Mobile Data is enabled all the time and you can't turn it off with the switch nor with the settings (settings crash when you try to go to anything SIM related). The only way to switch on/off mobile data is by connecting the device with USB cable and using ADB commands:
adb shell
svc data disable <- disables Mobile Data
adb shell
svc data enable <- enables Mobile Data
There's also plenty of chinese apps (some chinese store + chinese VOD). The browser also has some chinese texts + some options have chinese left-overs (Mi Account Settings).

THANKS FOR YOUR TEST!!!
I will try to report bugs you found to Ry09iu
(if He will listen to me. Some developers In China did not like answer users' questions because there are too many users trying to report their questions.)
In My test, I flash OpenGApps at the same time and it can start Into system. So I think it is not a bug or just OpenGApps's bug.

Yeah, I normally do that on other phones too. I can flash CM13 and then flash OpenGapps just after that and it works perfectly fine. However for some reason it didn't work too good on my Honor 6 with this MIUI ROM (I'm using H60-L04 btw). Maybe there was some error during installation, hard to say. However whenever I started my phone it would show up "No SIM Card" screen immedietaly on top of MIUI Configuration. When I pressed "Skip" my phone automatically restarted. Weird - that probably would fix itself automatically after SIM Card bug is fixed in MIUI.

How do you go back to stock EMUI from this MIUI 8 ROM?
I have the Indian H60-L04 model, and I would like to know how to go back from this MIUI 8 ROM to the normal EMUI ROM.
Thanks for any help!

Hello. Many people wonder if they can use fingerprint without keeping any lock on phone. Answer is YES!
HOW TO DO?
1. Setup any lock (pattern or pin) and your fingerprint too ofcourse
2. Reboot into recovery or use any root browser.
3. Go to data/system folder.
4. If you have setup pattern lock then delete pattern.key file and if you have setup pin lock them delete pin/password.key file (Don't worry this won't harm your phone) and restart your phone.
5. Congratulations! Now you can unlock with fingerprint without any lock on your phone
Note: This is just a small trick and many may find this useful while many already know this. This is applicable on all android devices and mostly all versions too. Enjoy!
Thanks
Could you make an instruction also for Oreo ROMS?
Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the nice tutorial. I was using the "Lockscreen Disabler" Xposed module for this. If you select "No lockscreen", then you can unlock with fingerprint and there is no lock. If you change your mind, just select "Deactivate this mod" and it will be stock. That's without any reboot.
What's this?
First of all, I'm not the original developer.
He post it on other Chinese forum, and I am just to ask for his permission and post it here.

This is an unofficial build of Pixel Experience Pie for Oneplus 5T (dumpling).
The original is for Oneplus5, you can find it here : Click here
The dev make a port version of this
What's working :
Boots
RIL (Calls, SMS, Data)
Fingerprint
WiFi
Bluetooth
Camera (but same as other Pie ROM, a little laggy in third apps)
Flashlight
Camcorder
Sound / vibration
GPS
AOD
Hotspot
NFC
VPN
And device specific addition (same as OP5 thread)
Known issues:
Permissive
or other issue same as OP5
Fingerprint gesture to view notification also not working
But you can try the solution provide by @Sabissimo at #16
Although that didn't work for me, some report they success, still looking into the problem
If that work for you, don't forget to give him a thank
If you find any bugs, you can PM me or leave comments below, I'll reported it to original dev
Instructions :
First, backup your data to PC or laptop
Second, you HAVE TO wipe data,system,cache AND INTERNAL STORAGE (some reported that it didnt boot if no wipe internal storage)
Third, flash the ROM and No verity zip (In my case, I use v3, but it seems with no problem)
Now you can boot up your device, it'll boot up TWO TIMES, and this is normal
CAUTION !!!
Version1 already include Gapps,Magisk (16.7), firmware, gcam and Redflare kernel (1.13 build)
So it is unnecessary to flash other zips
But in Version2, it didn't have firmware, but with Magisk (17.1) and Redflare kernel (1.16 build)
you guys need to take notice of this
Downloads:
Because original was on Baidu Cloud, and it may block some countries IP (Example: Taiwan)
So I upload it to Google Drive
If it is needed to upload to AFH or other cloud, just PM me, I'll upload it when I'm free
Here is the GD link:Version1
Version2
Credits:
Coolapk user "Tutoo" for his awesome work
and XDA user @bhageerathreddyy for help testing
Because of the forum rule, TG group link are not allow to post publicly here.
ROM OS Version: 9.x Pie
ROM Kernel: Linux 4.4.152, RedFlare EAS kernel
ROM Firmware Required: TWRP, Unlocked bootloader
Based On: AOSP
Version 2 changelog:
VoLTE reset on reboot Fixed

(Well... I copied these from original 5's thread. Don't forget to thank him for fix !!)
thanks
Thanks

This was much faster than expected for this rom, been swapping between this and OOS, will have to test this tonight and Pie for the first time, ty for fast release.
HI, just flashed this. Looks and feels good but the fingerprint swipe gesture doesn't seem to work properly, It treats it like arrow keys and navigates around the UI.

Can u tell me dose it includes the adaptive battery and gcam ? And how are the animations ? And notification slider options
ROM is awesome! Adaptive battery, gcam, slider - all working
To make fingerprint gestures work, put this file in /system/usr/keylayout , and give it 755 permissions

First boot took about 1 min max. You have to be decrypted, flash rom, flash noverity (I flashed v3) - and you should be good.

Well, it's definitely working for me tho, be sure to give it permissions.
Also, don't know if it matters, but I've searched for "swipe" in settings, and got in "Swipe fingerprints for notifications" menu, which is (weirldy) not available in "Gestures", there was no toggle there, tho, just instructions video. Maybe just entering that menu enabled that, try it out.
@Sabissimo did you update your firmware to 5.1.5 ? and have you installed vendor partition data ?

I was on OB15, so whatever firmware it uses - I have it And had vendor of OB15, but I don't think that vendor matters, since this is not treble rom, and doesn't use /vendor, it uses /system/vendor

Well... the dev said that the ROM doesnt have that function, but how can you enable ? I also follow your steps and give them permission then reboot again, but nothing happen.
Step-by-step of what I did:
1. Wiped everything except internal storage
2. Flashed ROM
3. Flashed no-verity v3
4. Rebooted, it rebooted twice, then started booting up with google animation
5. Noticed that fingerprint is working as cursor, went to settings, searched for "swipe", entered that menu, there's no toggle there
6. Pasted gf_input.kl in /system/usr/keylayout, gave it 755 permissions
7. Rebooted and everything is working!
Try doing it in the same sequence (First try to to enter swipe menu before pasting gf_input.kl, then paste it), maybe that did the trick.

Confirm this was the exact process I followed and works like a charm. Just need a couple of days with it to test battery life.
just have one thing to say thankyou so much and this rom is just smooth
For anyone that wants to flash this ROM, don't worry about your firmware. This ROM's .zip file contains a firmware ALREADY so it will flash the necessary firmware itself!

No bug i found. change kernel and check
i am also using this rom for a week or so. clean flashed. even formatted the storage before installation. so far this is one of the best roms i have ever used on santoni. and i can say that i have used almost every one of them. great battery life, great performance.

I did the latest OTA-Update and now my device stuck in a bootloop at the Mi-branding. No success getting into recovery (was Orangefox), so I flashed a new one with fastboot. I restored my last backup, which was working before, but it gave me the same result - bootloop! Anyone experiences the same or any idea where to search or how to fix this? I used Magisk by the way...

You mean Migrate? I use it also to restore Userapps. I think thats not the reason .
What do you wipe for clean flash?
I wipe everything except Internal and SD Card.
Then Flash Rom and Gapps. Reboot and do Google Stuff.
After that go back to Recovery and flash Magisk and Migrate Backup zip.
Have no Problems . Try it!
