Guest Chris Banks Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) Finally made the jump from my Blade to the G300 an very glad I did. Didn't realise how slow & outdated the Blade really is now. It is so much faster. Anyone thinking of making the jump, should definitely do it. Anyway sales pitch over. The phone OTA updated to B892, and it seems fine. I quite like some of the Huawei skin tweaks, if a little 'ugly' in some places. My main question is, is there difference between the stock ROMs from Huawei & vodafone apart from the vodafone apps? As in, i f I remove the vodafone apps, is it the same as the ROMs from Huawei? If not, what would be the best build to go for? In the OP is says B886, but that version is older than what I'm currently on... Think I am gonna stick with GB for a while until ICS really takes off. I really hope we get to see a CM7 or CM9, or even a CM10 build in the future. EDIT: Also, when I ring someone, across the top of the dial screen is says: "dialling call forward conditional is enabled" Does anyone know what this means, as I have not seen it before. Unlocked phone on giffgaff. Edited July 28, 2012 by Chris Banks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MioCZ Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Need little help, how to change hostname in rooted B927, or where the right config file is located, or should be crated? I went through filesystem and nothing found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dakid1235 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Hey guys. How do i flash a stock app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Do you mean stock apps or stock ROM's? You can download apps from Google Play Store https://play.google.com/store. If you want Vodafone stock ROM's, you can do OTA updates from your phone; if you want to download other Huawei stock ROM's, you need to follow the guide at the start of this thread.

You install it to replace the stock recovery mode – so when you boot into the recovery mode, rather than just having the factory recovery, you get the Cwm menu instead which allows you to backup, restore, flash .Zip files (apps or replacement roms), etc. Best guides are the stickies in this forum. I'd recommend going with the "how to install ICS 4.0.3" thread followed by the one telling you how to install the infusion ROM. First will get you on latest official version, second will install a good custom rom (optional). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lobespear Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 3. I updated by having phone on and simply imputing the *#*#2846579#*#* on the dialer keypad and when you input the last * the update starts automatically. No need to fart around removing batteries and trying to hold 3 buttons. doesn't that code just open the engineering menu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hoggonator Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) Arghh, somehow I have set the screen one to the left of the middle screen (IYSWIM) as the home screen and cannot reset the middle screen as my home screen. Anyone know how to reset as googling is coming up with nothing! ETA: Sorted it out, fat fingers error....

Guest clarkie71 Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Hello people, A little assistance please. I managed to root my phone after a few issues with drivers off my old vista lappy, resolved by using wives window7 lappy. Thought I would upgrade to rom at start of this thread (886)? Everything was going well, downloaded rom to pc,transfered to sd card and phone started firmware update. Only problem was update failed on stage 2/2, have I done something wrong? Do I need to enable usb debugging or something? Any ideas please. Ta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dalecheesy Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Only problem was update failed on stage 2/2, have I done something wrong? Do I need to enable usb debugging or something? Any ideas please. Ta. Think i had fastboot unticked and usb debugging enabled. Seemed to freeze at the end of the second stage and didn't auto restart like after the first bit but just pulled the battery and the jobs a good 'un.

Guest chohan01 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Help!!! I've flashed back to b888 from b934 with the dload and vendor folders but the toggles do not appear in the notification bar or the display settings. And the overall ui has become quite slow!

Guest sammyc77 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Don't. Just found out it wont work with the older baseband due to a framebuffer issue. Thanks for the heads up, reading the thread and it looks like the wait shouldn't be too long for CM10 for 2030 anyway \o/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
