15/May r6.1 - BigBearMDC and Paul's Pulse 2.1 ROM

[Guest robertopero]

Massive upgrade/improvement from Cupcake to Eclair (r1), the touchscreen is MUCH more sensitive .. i can now place my phone flat on the table and still use it (as opposed to having to hold it in my hand)

PS: Thanks so much for all your efforts. This forum rocks! :P

Don't wanna make a video of your phone? I haven't got time now to try it, but i am very intrested the phone's speed. Thanks.

[Guest starkos]

Anyone else have this problem?

Open contacts, click on a contact that you know has more than one number, click on call contact to see their numbers, their numbers show but at the top it gives the name/picture of a different contact :P ?

I'm on r2 with an o2 sim..

[Guest _melchett]

Great work Bobo, not just on this but previously for multitouch etc. Its always been worth checking out this forum thanks to your work. Now Paul has something to work with too it looks like a promising time for the Pulse.

I'll definitely be flashing this once apps2sd works.

THANKS ALOT GUYS!!!

That's great news as it was very hard to user in a car holder as you always had to touch the back of the phone as well.

Sorry mate .. I'm at work at the mo so cant do video. Personally I think 2.1r1 is a bit laggy but it is brilliant bearing in mind its an early beta.

But here's a video Dan ("Lurve Party") made yesterday:

it was a laggy for me at first (and lots of force closes until I rebooted) but after a while the speed picked up...I guess syncing google contacts/calendar slowed it down.

Thanx for replying, maybe it's a non t-mob problem like the menu button problem, anyone not on t-mob confirm?

i was on the vanilla 1.5 rom

i installed 1.5.2. pulseamonrarecovery and did a nand backup (accessed this thru reboot application from market)

wiped system, and installed this rom

now the phone is stuck in a boot loop, is there anyway to get to the recovery menu, or it the phone now a brick?

sweet!

[Guest Tar672]

r3 looks brilliant. Thank you very much BigBear and Paul (especially for the amazing speed this has happened) I'm definitely going to go ad free for this :P .

[Guest David Horvath]

Any experiences about r3? I'm thinking to upgrade..

[Guest de_shepherd]

Great work ... shows that the 2.1 work is pretty real ... but also, given the various bugs being reported, I think explains why the "official" verson has not been released. While people here may be happy to cope with a few "issues" to get 2.1 asap it would be commercial suicide for Huawei to release a new ROM along with a warning that vaious icons will start the wrong app, etc etc.

I think I'll wait a few days to see if the official release comes out (in any case, I'm going on a training course in France next week so probably best not to risk having phone issues for that!)

[Guest menno2]

Wow, Paul goes like a rocket,

I waited for the features r3 has, so ill upgrade tonight.

Thanx Bear for your initial work, great work by both of you!

Great job man!

What issues are needed to solve to release the final ROM?

[Guest adencool]

PWR + Menu + Red (end) key :P

tried that with a quick press of all three and also holding all three down, an its still stuck in the loop

[Guest robot1000]

Great thanks for the Update!

Would it be possible to add speech recognition app (or whatever the app is called) that is required to run Google Navigation?

only thing that doesn't work for me is vibrate...the rest of the issues are with non-t-mobile providers (which makes sense since this is t-mobile branded)

I guess the final ROM will come when the actualy final ROM leaks.

I'm not particularly inclined to spend much more time on this, it's probably as good as it's gonna get being a Beta leak... :P

1. turn the phone off completely by pulling out the battery

2. put the battery back in

3. hold down the menu+red buttons

4. tap the bower button

5. when recovery mode appears, let go of menu+red buttons

[Guest robot1000]

Do you think now we have 2.1, it would be easier to update to the lates 2.# release?
