HUAWEI RELEASE ICS 4.0.3 for U8818/U8815/G300 version B926【BOOT SYSTEM IMAGE LINK】

[Guest Asghar_UK]

Thanks, will try it when I get home from work.

That was quick.

[Guest Sonny Atwal]

what do you guys think the chances are of being able to update to UK ICS when it is released (B927 iirc) without the need to downgrade? it's just that some of the chinese app's and bootup screen, etc are annoying me with the fact that they are there and I have no idea what they say. Or is a custom ROM in the works to address these problems, I dont like the look of Miuiv4.

No one knows. It depends how the updates are internally versioned. B895 was unupgradable even though it was earlier than B926.

until Jelly bean of course ;) :lol:

[Guest andy.hyde4]

has anyone else got no english dictionary? so it comes up with a red line under every word when typing.

Is there a way to fix this? is the case on the MIUI port too.

I'll give it a go for you in a few mins, just making a nandroid.

Edit: boot.img flashed fine via TWRP and the system has booted up as normal. Anything you need my to test while I have it flashed?

thanks,

any chance you or any one else could give this a quick test :)

its for the extended power menu, should add reboot & recovery options

(i need to know if the new options are visible in the power off menu, if so flash the revert .zip as its not finished )

here is a zip to revert the mod after testing

http://www.solidfile...m/d/d560623b45/

things will be easer from next week as i should have a g300 by then lol

No go with that; it flashes ok but once booted if you press the power button to bring up the power menu the phone instantly restarts.

[Guest Davidoff59]

Andy I also have this issue

[Guest Ellis456q]

Forgot to say my screen isn't misaligned anymore since going to ICS, it was with gingerbread.

ah, think i see the problem

this one should work, if anyone could give it a try :)

this will reverse it if not

[Guest Lgdslr]

The easiest way to disable the 4 way lock screen is to go to Settings > Apps > All and click on 2d unlock then just press the disable button. This turns it off and gives you the default ICS lockscreen - no need for freezing or uninstalling.

Thanks for this and for your recommendation of Apex in the other thread.

I'm very happy with this ROM now.

:D

I have a prob like that, but for me is the lack of correction/prediction in another languages...

Installed a market keyboard app, not so good, but does the trick for now.

[Guest droiddruid]

I installed Touchpal keyboard from the market and deleted the IME thing that came preinstalled and now have a full en dictionary

Yes, but Touchpal always has full dictionaries and prediction...

It would be good to have that in the ICS keyboard, like CM9

[Guest andy.hyde4]

Thanks for that link I know have working auto correct on the stock ics keyboard :D

what link worked for you? did you flash the file from my link?

[Guest tillaz]

just been thinking, if the UK ics update is going to be the same as the Chinese version (it should)

why have they not released it yet.... all they need to do is change the splash screen & remove the Chinese apps

why not release them the same time?

because Vodafone are skinning the crap out of it and adding there bloat? lol

agree with u on it. they said Q3 for us....so it can be anytime....lol...you right tho...its gonna have a load of rubbish Vodafone on it.

just hope the bootloader unlock we have at the minute can root & unlock the bootloader.

[Guest Dazzozo]

They could theoretically block it (unlikely) but that would be Huawei's doing, and I really don't think we're going to get a new build from Huawei. I think they just sent B926 out to Unicom and Vodafone to let them do what they want to it. Unicom had the quicker turnaround.

[Guest tillaz]

iv found something interesting inside the ics update, its seems to indicate that 1088p video recording is enabled but not been used lol

anyone want to test this, see what the camera records video like

(make a backup first though)

1080p-video-test.zip

[Guest anything-but]

I`m up early so i`ll give it a go! :)

The 1080p option is there,but on selecting it the camera fc`s and you can`t get back into video options to de-select so it`s backup restore time. :)

hmm.. wonder if 720p would work,

there's also options to enable wmv & wma
