I'd would be great to know if going from stock B888 to Paul's would re-partition the phone. That way we could downgrade to the stock Voda rom's for warranty purposes, if needed.

Thanks

at the risk of a clip round the ear. The ROM she says ' U8815V100R001C185B888'

The assorted splash screens have such unwanted branded entertainment as 'Texas Hold'em'; 'Updates' , 'Discover', 'UNO trial', 'My Web' etc. etc.

Have I done something daft ? Is this always there ?

I don't recall asking Titanium to re-install these apps.

Did you do a full wipe in CWM before running the .zip?

u dont install B888 via CWM, you do it via the huawei install method.

B888 here and there is no Vodafone crapware. I am unrooted on stock recovery.

The DUO one is done with CWM, and given what thread this is, I assume that's what he's talking about.

yeah, if hes one about Pauls ROM then ur correct
my mistake

[nikopol1]

Nice Rom - working well so far. Noticed one odd thing with it is that the English selected is Slovakian English (That's got to be an error surely?). Haven't noticed
any craziness in the spellchecking though so it may just be a bug in the system. Anybody else got that?

Works awesome.

Awesome. Can I just flash this over my stock B885, and then restore a backup without worrying about changed partitions?

@ Paul O'Brien

Hi, Paul

Am I wrong in thinking that your build of the B888, doesn't change the partition like the Demo one does? To my limited knowledge, that's what it seems like you are saying above; or do I have that all wrong?

So, in theory, I could flash your Gr1 B888, and the partitions in my phone would be changed back to their original sizes, thus making it possible to re-flash a stock Vodafone rom if needed?

Thanks for your time,

Thank you paul,the rom is as expected for a modaco rom

No, I'm afraid I don't think it works like that. If it is just a flashable ROM then it is not going actively do anything with the partition layout. For that you would need a TPT (Total Phone Transfer) or an update file of the same style b888 used. Happy to be corrected if I am wrong, though.

You are correct,only a TPT can effect partitions.

thanks... thought it might be a bit of long shot. I'm sure people on here are saying that the update did change partitions, so only another one like it, or a TPT would change them back? I'm not overly concerned, at this point, as the phone has been great so far. No signs that I'll ever need a warranty, but you never know.

PS: so, can Paul's be flashed on top of the Demo B888?? Or, would there be trouble if you did?

I think Bumps asked if anyone tried it yet but I don't think anyone's replied?

Not for me. WiFi has been solid as a rock over the past few days.
