Guest ndot Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Hopefully it's vanilla with a loud audio jack volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paul Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 New TouchPal languages for generic TouchPal! - English - French - Portuguese - German - CHINESE - Spanish Also appears to have Block Breaker and Servo Search, which weirdly weren't in the Bouygues generic ROM. Updated DocToGo and RoadSync it seems. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David Horvath Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Good news! Huawei is working on roms, that better than good :) What are the plans, Paul? David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Well, first of all i'm trying to hack up an update zip for my own use to see what the changes are and have a mooch around. I need to check the phone etc. works because there may well be AMSS (phone ROM) changes that we can't apply on our U8220s (Pulses). If it all looks good and is generic, I might release the current 1.8 Beta as the last in the current 'pink or vanilla' style, and start building MCR 1.9 based purely on the Vanilla ROM. Maybe. We'll see. :) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest McSpoon Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Huawei have also added something called "modemPre.apk". Dunno what it is, but it is automatically granted with permissions to do anything and everything, from read your emails to access stats, wifi, camera, google accounts, etc. Does anybody have any ideas as to what it's for? **Puts on a tin-foil hat** It might be best to remove it if you're a Chinese human rights activist that doesn't want the state-sponsored Huawei to have access to your Gmail account. :) LOL Just kidding.

Guest Paul Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Just playing around with the new TouchPal i've pulled out of the ROM, it's a LOT newer (albeit looking the same but with more languages obviously). P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paul Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I wonder if the U8230 has more ROM... my standard build image created from this update seems to be bigger than will fit into the Pulse! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jmmL Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Boo, cupcake! I was hoping so much for some new confectionery! All good news though by the sound of it - to know that they're still actively developing it makes me more confident that it will see 2.x at some point in the not-too-distant future. Do the new localisations indicate possible releases in new territories? If so, great news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Hmm, nothing but bootloops on the image created so far, think i'll have to have a proper play when I have more time! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest McSpoon Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Yep I encountered the same, although it worked after the 3rd or 4th bootloop. But had no space left. And it looks like they've recently updated the T-Mobile UK Pulse CD-ROM too. http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/down...B004_TMO_UK.zip (I haven't bothered to download it, so I've no idea whats new. It's probably just the same old rubbish). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest klutsh Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Would you mind sharing some scripts needed to play with this, ie build scripts etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest McSpoon Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Would you mind sharing some scripts needed to play with this, ie build scripts etc There is a Perl script to unpack the UPDATA.APP file in this thread. It should give you the 'boot.img' file and 'system.img'. You can then use fastboot to flash those images to your device. As always, make a nandroid backup first. But there isn't anything exciting in this ROM. It's the same old cupcake as before. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
