Guest RussellS Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Hi all, could you just clarify something for me as I want to be 100% sure I know what I'm doing and not about to screw my phone up. I am currently on the Huawei B888 rom and I have CWM installed but NOT root. Unfortunately I need Bluetooth on a daily basis to connect to the hands free in my car as I use it for work So I cannot use CM9 permenantly yet. However, I would like to have a play with it and contribute to the community in a testing capacity. Therefore, If I install CM9 will I still be able to restore my Nandroid backup to get back to where I am today. What I would intend doing is installing CM9 at the weekend to test etc and then restore my Nandroid backup back to B888 during the week. I'm sure that is all ok but I just wanted to check with people more knowledgeable than me. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dt_matthews Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Are there plans to fix the tethering for the next build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest preciouspangolin Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Is it possible to introduce me to ROM development for porting and bugfixing? I am playing with OpenWrt (development and build system) on a regular daily basis and with Android app development. Even if I haven't seen Android ROM development yet, I think I could learn something new and help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RussellS Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 That'll work fine. Thanks Dazzozo, you've put my mind at rest. CM9 will be going on Friday evening (unless I get impatient and install it one evening before then as a taster). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you have a nandroid backup of each ROM switching back and to between them takes very little time. Gotta love the nandroid backups. :) Edited July 3, 2012 by Hpez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Looking good over here, just wish I had my g300 to play with :( still in repairs from 11days ago :angry2: But on a good note I have the OSD to play with, which is keeping me entertained nicely, even though it is locked down, hopefully not for long, sebastion404 is on the case.

Really rather strange! Working on it.) Overclocking is still to come. Can you add tethering to the not working list, just so people are fore-warned? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PeaceMaker_H Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 I can´t get more than 20h / 22h of battery, even considering 8h of those hours are during the night... I´ve been using a live wallpaper, could be from it.. since I am the first one reporting the battery leaks.. Testing this theory now with a normal wallpaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Davidoff59 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 battery use is higher but its a work in progress rom so its to be expected really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I didnt get a chance before swapping roms) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FrankieADZ Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 has anyone with ICS already installed on there G300 tried CM9 since? just wondering if it works and all that as doesnt official ICS and CM9 have different baseband's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dazzozo Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 I imagine if you try that you will have no radio. Yes they do have different basebands. This is where development starts to become a nightmare... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dazzozo Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 I imagine we could get to a point where you could flash a separate zip to install the older/newer RIL libs. Not really two whole ROMs. If the process becomes simplified enough, I might update this to the new baseband. Not sure yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hans Gruber Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Just build it for the new baseband :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dazzozo Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 It's too early to tell yet. I'd like to see the downgrade process but we're still waiting for that. Everything's moving so fast it's hard to tell where I should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FrankieADZ Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) hopefully the baseband stuff can be sorted....as I want to use/try ICS but dont want to miss out on CM9 :wacko: :( It's too early to tell yet. I'd like to see the downgrade process but we're still waiting for that. Everything's moving so fast it's hard to tell where I should be. Huawei havent helped really tho. should have just released the phone on ICS in the first place imo Edited July 4, 2012 by FrankieADZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dazzozo Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 should have just released the phone on ICS in the first place imo 100%. ICS is nearly a year old. There is literally no reason to be shipping these devices on Gingerbread and offering upgrades anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Davidoff59 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 There us also a confirmed upgrade to jellybean coming for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest skobywan Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Just registered and stopped by to say thanks to you guys for all of your hard work on this. I've installed the rom, it's very stable, nice and responsive on my handset. Considering I tried installing the official update today and was stuck on the Huawei logo for an hour, all I had to do with this was install the rom, install the apps and bang it was done. Great job guys, looking forward to the next update for camera functionality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
