just a quick question: is there any support for usb OTG with this rom?

[Hogweed]

USB host is supported by the hardware but not in any ROMs to date. Would require kernel coders to work on enabling it.

[Gigahurtz]

Great work. I have gone add free so I can enjoy the rom kitchen.

cant get it to install,keeps on saying not found update zip,i have renamed the unpacked file to update.zip,so not sure whats wrong,probably just me being a nub

[Hogweed]

You are using the wrong install option. Use install zip from SD card.  No need to rename the file before hand.

Just wondered: why have you not updated the build to B893? Seems a little faster than B888 (less lags). Just bought a new G300 and the stock rom seems pretty good (there was an online upgrade, which I did). Not much Vodaphone junk in it either. On the whole, not bad for a cheap phone. Andriod is getting much better out of the box (or maybe its Huawei?)!

Have not tried ICS; some folks have issues and I havn't really the time to mess around with the upgrade. So will stick with GB for now.

Does anyone have trouble with the Facebook app? I just get a black screen most of the time. Occasionally a post will show but without pictures.

I have the same problem, but I couldn't find a solution yet. I tried wiping the cache and so forth, but no improvement. Hope someone will give as an answer.

seems to be the same issue on all phones , latest facebook update didnt work too well by the looks of it .

If you updated the app try removing the updates . If its happening on the stock app that came with the phone i'm stumped lol

When I try to add file to rom and click bake, it takes me to Store page, despite being AdFree member and I have no problem to bake roms without additional zip files. Curious.

I think that's a problem with a recent FB update (or the reappearance of an old bug). Nothing to do with this ROM. Keep trying to scroll down if you get the black screen and the feed will hopefully appear. Problem seems to have fixed itself for me now in any case. Alternatively have a look at Friendcaster app which is an alternative interface to Facebook.

Clearing app data for Facebook might be worth a try if totally stuck.

Moved to this ROM from stock, and now I notice I am unable to download chrome browser, however the option to install it was there on the stock ROM.
Any ideas on how to sort this?

Forget it, was a long day!

I've never seen that problem on any other handset with the Facebook app.
I tried a data clear with no joy. Then a data clear and uninstalled the app (system app), are installed from market and still the same problem.

Like you say, sometimes the feed will appear but its too unreliable.

I have the paid version of Friend caster but some posts never show up because of some other users privacy settings (no sharing with third party apps).
Only thing to do is use the mobile web or Tinfoil for Facebook.

It is. Never tried it with B926 or 927 as I'm pretty sure it relies on HWA as well.

[b4da55]

Am looking forward to trying it
