Guest insx Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I installed r3b this morning, thanks to the excellent guide posted elsewhere. GPS and WiFi seem to be working fine. The only things I'm missing from the t-mobile setup are the 9 desktops that scroll via the button and the ability to drag icons between them. Also the favourite contacts button (for thumb browsing). I'm sure that has a proper name. Maybe these can be got back, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest insx Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I've learned a bit having messed around with it today. 5 desktops is plenty and I've discovered the home icon twice to bring up the switcher. Barnacle seems worse than ever. Constant "NAT Restart: Message too long" when trying to open google on a client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest insx Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 The ability to search contacts seems to be missing when composing a text. Major pain! Is there any way to bring it back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any way to bring it back? gforums is on vacation until 17th, and all my cooked roms failed so far. but imo maybe if u replace the contacts.app with the one u had before (i hope u made nandroid backup and can extract stuff from it) then u should be fine have no idea for barnacle i dont use it at all,there are plenty of free/opened wifi's arround me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gforums Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 ok guys, I am back from vacations! Any questions left now? Please post them (again), as I don't know how actual this thread still is. I have used the pulse mini over the last the weeks now with my r3b rom and it was working all well. Zero FCs, just sometimes a hang (one click on "wait" and done...) of the fancy weather widget. Of course, this rom can cause trouble on other huawei devices. It is just for the UK PULSE MINI and all other devices won't work probably. For other devices, we would need a working original rom of each of those and modify them. Not that difficult, but not my job as I don't own other devices than the pulse mini. ;-) Best, gforums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how often I'll update the rom...I'm not using the pulse mini as my main phone and my time is very limited at the moment where I am writing my diploma thesis soon. I'll have a look at the rom from time to time but for now, r3b looks quite stable.... I have a prepared r4 on my PC which has some little improvements, but nothing what really matters. If I get some time, I'll test it soon and make it public... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used your rom and liked it very much, but I had to go back to the stock rom, because GPS was not working.

We'd need to do the modifications on an Austrian Base rom. Is it availbale somewhere?

Guest jasonXXx Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) @gforum Can i just ask what recovery image and version your using and how flashed it? Edited August 17, 2010 by jasonXXx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest webjames Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) SD Card wont mount Hi All, Just tried flashing your rom this morning. That is r3b, not that i got to that part. I have a UK T-Mobile pulse mini, and up to this point have done nothing with it except unlock it via http://www.dc-unlocker.com/ I have installed the drivers/pc-suit tool on my windows 7 pc Following your tutorial: 0. my battery is fully charged. 1. I installed AmonRA that was easy enough i then did a nand backup via it onto my sd card, then dumped my whole sd card onto my computer. 2. entered recovery mode again after the backup 3. partitioned my sd card with a 0mb swap and 256mb ext2 4. wiped my data, and then cleared the dalvik cache 5. downloaded the rom then booted up my phone to copy it onto the SD card. This is where i am now, unable to mount the SD card. I am still able to boot up to the android system recovery mode. I can't restore my backup image as android system menu cannot read my SD card. Help would be very much appreciated. Kind regards, James UPDATE #1: I have tried re-partitioning the SD card via the recovery menu, powering off, then trying to mount - still can't mount I have tried formatting the SD card using the file manager built into android - still can't mount I can creat folders on the SD card, so it does seem to be functioning but - still can't mount UPDATE #2: I have tried access the SD card from OSX - still can't mount SD card mounts fine using a USB card reader. I'm going to try and restore my NAND backup i took UPDATE #3 Restoring the NAND backup that i took also restored my ability to mount the SD card, i'm now going to flash the custom ROM UPDATE #4 Flashed the rom, then did a wipe data, works fine! Just want to say thanks to those guys who developed this rom. Great job! Conclusion: Firstly the bad: SD Mount doesn't work The Good: The new rom is better in ALL respects I especially like the fact Google contacts are now filtered and only those in 'My Contacts' are displayed, not 'All contacts' It's fast- really fast, it turns this underpowered handset into something really useful Theming is great, or rather lack of it, gone is the pink of t-mobile. I could go on! Edited August 17, 2010 by webjames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny did you root your phone before installing the recovery image? if i try to install recovery image without root it says complete but i still just get t-mobile image no recovery also if i install recovery after i root i get tmobile image then screen goes black and hangs. I have noticed when you root the phone usb mount no longer works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed when you root the phone usb mount no longer works. Well my phone wasn't rooted before, although i got the recovery working fine seemingly. You are right, I can't mount my SD card anymore, but given how much better the rom is i'm sticking with it. See my post above to see the steps i took. If i find anything i'll post it.

I just restored a rom i had on backup that i took just after installing the loader. If you don't have one then i'm not knowledgeable enough to help you further i'm afraid. If you've got a backup on your computer, you can use a usb card reader to put it on your SD card then boot into the recovery loader then do a nand restore.

All the best, James Ok thanks for help but thats not what i mean im back to stock now. Ok what i would like to do is install a recovery image this will then let me install updates.zip files so i could use the lates su and superuser update.zip from xde developers this is the latest version of su and superuser app when i update using the zip this stays even when i do a wipe so thats all good i would then like to get rid of the recovery image and restore the stock t-mobile recovery. And i will then have a fully stock system but it will be fully rooted with the latest su and superuser app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Danh2122 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 For those with SD Mounting problems If it helps i've found that restarting the phone with the USB cable plugged in seems to fix it until you unplug it --OR-- Take the SD Card out while connected via USB, wait for the PCOPTIONS menu to come up on the pc, (Start it if it doesn't automatically), the reinsert the SD Card, and chose Mass Storage (or whatever it's called) from the PC. This works for me and may work for you, eh no harm done in trying :D Dan :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took the fingerprint from flibblesan's pulse mod. I'm notsure what fingerprint it is exactly. You can change it within the "build.prop" file from the rom. there are two entries responsable for the fingerprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
