The most usable Pulsr

[Guest gusthy]

Of course it depends on one's needs.

Currently my "best of" in terms of usability is:

- Sweden or Taiwan 1.5 firmware for smooth touch screen

- Paul's vanilla 1.7 or 1.8 WITHOUT a2sd

- Swapper with default settings (32 mb, 10 for swappiness)

- a class 6 sd card

This config is fast, smooth, usable, able to multitask.

Can you give me a link for sweden 1.5? Because I'm going back to Paul's MCR also.

Why do you not use A2SD? It doesn't give much problems does it?

After every reboot you have to repair the cache.. ;)

It also causes a lot of problems that you just shouldn't have to deal with :(

when my pulse went down for low battery with swap and a2sd, the latter made strange things. and the place with 1.5 is enoug for me without a2sd.

this new 1.5 roms are on www.huaweidevice.com , any rom released in april will do.

True, but I'm used to repairing it and with the MCR you don't have random reboots.

Also can you use Darktremor's a2sd with this? That version repairs it at boot by itself.

For the problems, I can live with them. As long as I can rely on my phone to send and recieve sms properly I'm fine.

Sure, sms and opera mini was the two most important reasons to revert ;)

Thanks, is it the same as this one?: U8220 V100R001C125B262(Sweden H3G)

Because I just installed that and I don't have working touchscreen now ;)

*Edit: I just checked it and it's the same. Will try to flash different boot image now, does anyone know if that's the solution?

*Edit2: Superboot doesn't work, but extracting the original boot.img with split_updata.pl does.

I used the Taiwan one

[Guest Sh4d0w940]

I flashed that one now, and I don't have a working touchscreen either :S.

Are you sure you have an U8220 and didn't change boot img?

I installed taiwan ROM, then Amon ra, then MCR vanilla and works.

That rom was released around a week before hungarian 2.1, so i had a stable 2.1 with that and our beta 2.1 roms too. their only problem was that without time machine i didnt have warranty.

But if I remember well, previously I even used taiwan rom itself too.

this screen thing occurs when flashing 8230 roms, hmmm.

It's basicly the same, the one I posted has a Swedish language pack and 3 has messed with it (some apps are not visible in market and stuff).

The other one that you posted isn't as tampered with, but I'm not sure with one of the roms will give you a more sensitive touchscreen.

to get 1.7 or 1.8 MCR is mandatory to be a "vip" or there is somewhere to get it?

for 1.7 no, you can download it from here.

[Guest gusthy]

hmmmm.

instead of adding backing swap, I increased compcache size to 64 megs. it seems to work.

May it cause problems?

[Guest il_cholo]

I applied 1.7MCR (update-pulse-1.7-core-signed.zip) to my 1.5 8220-6 but my touchscreen won´t work, maybe there is a workaround for it, so far I see that 3G is enabled and GSM gets service, but I cannot move forward from welcome screen without touch :lol:

Yes, that rom is for 8220. you should use time machine now.
