Guest ZolaIII Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Apps are the same, so shore why not. As i can remember somebody posted a link for it hire at Modaco(UK firmware).

Guest Clarkiieh Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 I got the normal firmware off the huawei site when I messed up my build prop and extracted it then put the update.app on root of SD card and tried force flashing via volume up and down and power and it failed at stage 2?

Guest Clarkiieh Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) Loop i just unpacked the update.app and made a flashable .zip, never tried the official way before. also the B178 repack is only offering me an update for "push service" and not B196 :huh: think i will just give up on this. Tillaz please can you upload this and share the link in my new thread. I think it will benefit a lot of people who mess up on flashing and modding ect. That's if its not too much to ask of cause dont want sponge of your work, and would never take credit :) Edited August 20, 2013 by Clarkiieh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tillaz Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 think someone mentioned the phone not vibrating when ringing or the option in sound settings not working? you need to enable it in the diallers settings to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Frankish Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Tillaz buy my Y300? It's boxed and had a screen protector on the whole time so it's like brand new anyway. I'm getting a china phone possibly anyway. Think I really want the Xiocai X9! Not selling yours are you?

Guest jackosterman Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Thoughts on battery calibration, anyone? I don't mean wiping the battery stats, as that's been long debunked, but power cycling and whatnot. To be honest, I've never bothered after flashing new ROMs on past phones, but after 6 or 8 hours of intermittent use yesterday (3G on), once the battery hit 40% or so it began rapidly falling until reaching 11% in the span of a couple hours. I never understood how a blinking LED is supposed to help me preserve what little charge I have left... >_> Edited August 21, 2013 by jackosterman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as on Stock 190. I'm currently trying Lewa, and the battery drain seems steadier - not saying it's better battery usage (yet) but it seems maybe more accurate reporting.

Guest jackosterman Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) think i have found the true cause of the phone slowing down (its not xposed framework) performance seems very good now, will be an update in a few days or maybe a week - improved handling of RAM (no that's does not mean more free, as that's not good) - improved performance - improved battery life (fixed the crazy drain when off wifi) Just asking out of curiosity, I gather these issues are inherent to the stock ROM (ie. Huawei gaffes)? Edited August 21, 2013 by jackosterman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Joao Pereira Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Hi tillaz First of all, great work on your rom. After testing some, yours is still the one that gives best performance. A couple of things and a request. In your b02 rom the google calendar isn't syncing... tried different calendars but the result is the same. Also the browser sometimes does start, even after reboot and clear cache ( replaced with chrome ) If you have some time, could you port the major apps from the MIUIV5, like dialer, contacts, sms, gallery... ? They have a great look, but even after i extracted the file, i'm not able to install any of the apps... not even from recovery... http://www.modaco.com/topic/364329-rom-ascend-y300-0100-miuiv5/ Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vladandrei51 Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Hi tillaz, Not sure if is relevant anymore but a week ago you asked us to send a mail to huawei regarding HWA, I got a respond today: Dear Customer, Thank you for contacting Huawei device. After our relevant department checking, the > android:hardwareAccelerated="true" tag can work well. Would you please kindly double check and try again? Once again thank you for contacting Huawei device. Best Regards. Huawei Device Customer Care Team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never understood how a blinking LED is supposed to help me preserve what little charge I have left... >_> there is a serious problem with battery drain from "mobile data" on huaweis stock roms, put your phone in airplane mode and use wifi and the battery is amazing... obviously this is not a solution just a way of seeing where the problem is coming from, i think its been caused by fast dormancy not been configured properly maybe i will get a chance to take a look befor my phone sells.

Once again thank you for contacting Huawei device. Best Regards. Huawei Device Customer Care Team. yeah, same message as the other two, check back a page or two for my reply. @everyone i have made big changes to this rom, totally cleaned it out, removed lots of libs and binary's for huawei's crap that is no longer there that where causing problems feels much faster now and ram seems much improved i will also not include any apps that are available from the market (Google stuff) my reason for this is because these apps are updated regularly and you end up with the app on the system partition and the data partition after an update... so we might as well just have them on the data partition and not both plus not everyone might actually want them. hopefully i get this out before my phone is sold, as i don't really have a lot of time for it at the moment with me working on some new stuff for the play store :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tillaz Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Where you get the xiaocai from then as I've only seen white and black?! Want to order on pay day so doing my research now to pay on Friday. would use dealsprime with free shipping, use the 3% off coupon and its only £94.98 http://dealsprime.co...-gps-8-0mp.html was talking to them on live chat and they say you just need to leave a note on your order if you want the other colours or you can buy them individually from here for £4.50 http://www.banggood....X9-p-81065.html Edit: here is close up video i downloaded a while back from YouKu.com its gives quiet a good look at the phone in HD, you might need to update the codecs on windows media player to play it as its an .flv, unless you use VLC player or something. http://www.solidfiles.com/d/a814e84e85/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tillaz Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 the utilisation of the RAM is definitely much improved now, and this is with HWA fully working (system apps working) and all my apps / games installed, which is around 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
