Guest Moonthistle Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Hi all I am actually suprised by how much I like this phone - having moved from its big brother recently. However I'm hating being stuck with the "PINK", and was wondering if anyone has created a custom rom using apps from movistar rom. I would do it myslef but I honestly have no idea where to start. I flashed the movistar but although it looked great I couldn't connect to network etc. So have had to switch back. I was waiting for Paul to add the Generic option he mentioned but I'm guessing he's moved on to bigger and better things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tabor56 Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 how does it compare to the pulse? in what ways would you say the mini is better/ worse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Moonthistle Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 how does it compare to the pulse? in what ways would you say the mini is better/ worse? Its smaller, lighter and the camera is a lot better having said that the screen is not so great - feels similar to screens used on the Lg Cookie etc and the small screen size makes the keyboard a little hard to get used to - lots of typo's but i'm starting to get used to it now. Some of the apps are missing from the market but most are still there and they actually seem to run smoother on mini. Battery life seems to be about the same and as stated above your stuck with t-mobile "Pink". Hope this answers your questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gjole86 Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 (edited) i dont know about big pulse but today i had market, opera and youtube player in action over wifi with starfield live-wallpaper and adw launcher. no hickups no slowdowns no app closes. had ~70MB free ram (ATK is win here about killing things u dont want). from what i read in FLB-1.0 topic how ppl strugle with big pulses ram, im glad i took the mini :angry: so far so good. about little screen and its keyboard. i got used to cooltek+ 20 button setup. getting my wifi router back tomorrow so gonna use a bit more market craps. also i would be glad to see ppl post list of apps u use. Here: adw launcer 1.0.1 (5 desktops) starfield livewallpaper switchpro widget advanced task killer AndExplorer and RootExplorer Opera mini 5.1 Stock 2.1 T-Mo rom (no root) what i would like to try to tweak is: conctacts app sms app some sort of gallery replacement some sounds setter app icons changer (better cut was it as far as i know) and as last is there an app to menage installed apps, like check for updates for all user installed apps, games and such?

Guest gforums Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 I today tried this update fle: U8110 U8110 V100R001C00B226SP02(Ital y GIVI) http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/down...aly%20GIVI).zip This also has no working WLAN and GSM, but looks really nice. Comes with lots of languages, has no "pink" color and a good looking launcher. I just wonder if we can't somehow merge it with the working t-mobile UK firmware?! Isn't this just a driver/kernel issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't this just a driver/kernel issue? I've been trying to merge the movistar rom with the tmo one but keep getting stuck in a boot loop, probably because I don't know what i'm doing lol. I'll keep trying though and will post here if I ever manage to succeed (don't hold your breath though :angry: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Simon O Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 It's not an easy task but it's something I could do for you all if you want. Won't be able to do anything until nearer the end of the week but I'll produce an update.zip which will contain the t-mobile kernel, t-mobile radio libraries and wifi files. The rest will be Movistar. I don't have a pulse mini myself so this will be made entirely blind, but I'm confident it will work :D It my experiment works then I'll quite happily produce a Pulse Mini version of FLB-MOD which should run a lot better on your devices than my big pulse! Oh and if anybody fancies donating to my PayPal so I can buy a Pulse Mini, I would be happy :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used FLB-MOD on my big pulse before I switched so would love to see one for the mini. It sounded like such an easy idea just merging them but i've learned the hard way its not as easy as you think. Latest attempt even managed to include an Orange boot screen - no idea where that came from ;) . I'd also be happy to provide a donation as I now have some idea that it ain't as easy as it looks.

Guest spaceboy_100 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I would also appreciate this. I think most people with the pulse mini would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gforums Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 @flibblesan +1 from me. Would be great! But please don't use moviestar, but this one: U8110 U8110 V100R001C00B226SP02(Ital y GIVI) http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/down...aly%20GIVI).zip It's newer, contains more languages and a launcher capable of 15(!) homescreens. Look & Feel is like on moviestar. thanks! I'm sure you can expect donations if your first "blind" custom rom already should work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
