About kernel .32 being faster than kernel .29 -> are there any means of quantifying this?
Is this really related to the kernel or to the broken libEGL which you have fixed in this thread's rom?

Just wanted to ask this again... seems to have got lost...

people should note that dtox125 build comes with a2sd .

Thanks for pointing this out. Do we really need this pre-installed? Wouldn't a separate update.zip also do the job, like for the gapps?

Just installed this rom with all my apps. Works perfects so far, except the Market getting lots of fc's and being sluggish overall. Thank you very much for this rom!

I'm yet to experience Market crash... Never happened so far. (Though I did not install much yet).
Did you install gapps from the first link?
Did you wipe everything clean befor install as suggested in instructions?..
Do you have enough space in system partition (UK 2010 layout or better for u8220 device) ?

I don't know how to quantify it... In which units to measure UI responsiveness. cm/sec scrolling
Try to revert the open GL lib and see if it changes anything...

I found that the drivers for Alcatel One Touch 990 (Alcatel_AndroidManager_2.2.1111.2444.exe) recognizes the phone in windows

http://www.alcatelon...nes/ot-990.html

Just open the executable in a packagemanager and extract "\driver\android\usbdriver"or install the software.

yeah i found it after revert to normal rom. i'm going to reinstall rom to go with some more tests.

Question?
Does anyone have problems on wifi if installs a wifi app manager?

dear All!
Please place the backup of a clean install of the firmware. zip is not installed in any way.
I will try to restore your backup.

Hello!
I download this rom and install it with all instructions.
But when I touch screen, my device is reboot.
This is my dmesg: http://pastebin.com/m3bfVbWA
Dmesg captured with other rom, but i think, it does not hurt to diagnose the problem.
I'm sorry for bad english. I am belarussian.

Has anybody tried to connect to a 802.x network with peap encryption? I tried this with the CM 7.2 rom with the .29 kernel and couldn't because the popup where I had to enter the username and password always closed. Is this possible in this rom?

Can you also connect via with adb if you can to the device and get dmesg after it boots. But not touching the screen yet.
Want to figure if your melfas at least got probed successfully.

Wow thats incredible work!!   Been looking at this site for years ...and I foolishly just gone and bought me a Galaxy S2 for xmas.  It will never match the love I had for my pulse.  And for the record the pulse has 2 things better than the S2 1) the jog ball (I cannot tell you how much easier it is to edit text with that than having to use fat fingers, I really really miss it)  2) The cover over the USB port.  Very few phones have this now but why? get anything stuck in there, damage the pins,  and the rest of the phone has to be thrown away, its the most important bit.  Will be testing this ROM over the weekend. The pulse is dead. Long live the pulse.!!

I hate to be cynical, but the answer is in your question. If you damage the USB port and have to throw away the phone, then you will have to buy a new phone from the very same people who removed the USB port cover. Kerching!

Pulse is nearly as capable phone as modern budget devices based on msm7227 chip, like Ideos X3 or ZTE Score, ZTE Avail.
We have GPU countrary to cheaper msm7225 devices, higher screen resolution than them.

It's just Qualcomm who decided drop support for our chipset after cupcake. That's why no updates from Huawei. It was as same heroic effort from them to release Eclair on unsupported kernel tree. Now I did the same for froyo kernel tree...

Installed gapps from the link (only market was there, no youtube, no maps - got those later)
Everything was wiped
Yes, I updated from TXG's room, partition space is the same

Market is crashing when installing 4 apps or more at a time.

There also seems to be a problem when using samba (enables access to sdcard via wifi, just have to type //android in windows explorer). My phone restarts after a few minutes if the app is on, which is every time since it activates with wifi.

Did it work for you before? (samba via wifi)
Samba is not compiled in this build due to space constraint for boot image. Newer kernel is bigger by itself, but our boot partition is very limited - 2.5MB...

And I did not install 4 apps at a time 2 max

TGX does not change partition layout as any custom rom. Official roms - do.

EDIT:
it also looks to me that the support was not there even in the original huawei .29 kernel:

# CONFIG_SMB_FS is not set
# CONFIG_CIFS is not set

Did you use some custom kernel for that functionality?

hey guys. excellent work once again. few questions.. are the libs for opengl being copied from CM7 from the htc hero? or were they from another source?
another question is,  is it easy to get sensor OV7670 working? (i .e. front cam) as it would allow gtalk video to work on the pulse? i don't understand how the camera.apk works as the orignal eclair rom had option to switch to secondary camera in the menu tab.
i do not know how useful this link maybe to you but i believe this sensor is used in this project and has a 2.6.34 kernel and i believe it is based on an arm architecture.

cheers

Front camera is supported just as well as the main camera.
I'd guess it's a limitation of CM's Camera application as not very many devices feature it. (Or may be advantage of stock Huawei camera software).
Does gTalk work with the front camera in the moment? Can you try other camera apps from market to see if they can work with our front camera?

It is in fact very exciting topic - to have video chat on Pulse. We need to investigate it in full as we have complete low level support for both cameras and very latest gingerbread which supposedly should have ability for video chat.

As for OpenGL - I don't know where sun lbx get it from He did not say.
