Guest tillaz Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 1. Removing the .ISO files from your ROM didn't get rid of the virtual CD drive. I'd rather it not appear at all or work like it used to (with the .ISO mounted so the drivers are accessible, or at the very least replace them with my own .ISO). If I simply move the two .ISO files back to /cdrom and /etc it has no effect, though I didn't try doing it with a flashable .ZIP because /system is the only path in there and I didn't know if it was important to match. I just copied extracted cdrom and etc from the removed.rar and copied them to the SD card and merged them using Root Explorer. to be honest i never even noticed that the CD drive is still mounted even though the iso is removed, but now i do it really does not bother me as when you enable usb mass storage from the notification bar it opens both storage options automatic and its gone as soon as you disconnect your phone so its no big deal. i will upload the drivers / cdrom when i get time. 2. The 3G fix linked earlier in the thread breaks USB Mass Storage. It appears to flash a couple of images to some /dev/block files, but I don't know what the "fix" does that would cause other things to break. what 3G fix? data works fine on this rom, unless your not using the Y300-0100, then i have no idea as it was not made for other devices. The virtual drive appears as soon as I plug my phone into the USB cable, but the drive letters don't show up until I choose the option to turn USB Storage on. Previous behavior was they all showed up as soon as the phone was plugged in, didn't prompt me to turn USB Storage on, and both the internal and SD were still accessible to the phone while connected (I didn't ever have to turn USB Storage off). like I've said before, this is normal / the way its supposed to be on stock android (AOSP) previous behaviour is huawei's customisations, and the idea of this rom is to remove all of that and use AOSP, you will want to use a more stock huawei based rom if you want that stuff. note: if you want storage options to be available as soon as you plug in the phone (on AOSP) you need to select "connected as installer" then choose MTP connection, then when you plug in your device you will have something like this, which has the storage options inside.

Guest kmau Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 think i have found the true cause of the phone slowing down (its not xposed framework) performance seems very good now, will be an update in a few days or maybe a week - improved handling of RAM (no that's does not mean more free, as that's not good) - improved performance - improved battery life (fixed the crazy drain when off wifi) So you continue to develop this ROM? I have lost a few step ... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest internectual Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 what 3G fix? data works fine on this rom, unless your not using the Y300-0100, then i have no idea as it was not made for other devices.The one mentioned here. It's a batch file with adb commands to flash two .img files to /dev/block (and a new recovery) which works to restore missing support for 3G on the Y300-0151, but breaks USB Mass Storage under your ROM (and presumably the "NORMAL" firmware on Huawei's website for the Y300-0100). like I've said before, this is normal / the way its supposed to be on stock android (AOSP) previous behaviour is huawei's customisations, and the idea of this rom is to remove all of that and use AOSP, you will want to use a more stock huawei based rom if you want that stuff. note: if you want storage options to be available as soon as you plug in the phone (on AOSP) you need to select "connected as installer" then choose MTP connection, then when you plug in your device you will have something like this, which has the storage options inside. That gives me access to the internal and SD card, but when I tried copying a .ZIP it never appeared. I suspected this was a limitation of using a connection type designated for media players, as I've had similar issues with MP3 players using MTP. If I can't copy any filetype to my phone without going through hoops it isn't useful. That's why I prefer drive letters and no restrictions on what I can copy.

MTP connection works for copying any files, including .zip.. i know this for sure because MTP is the only option the nexus 4 has, so i have to use it regularly. it operates the same in the huawei stock rom and this rom as i have personally used it before. if you do not like MTP connection use mass storage, this gives the drive letters, and works much better, this needs enabled when you want to use it from the notification area and turned off from the same place when finished like the most android phones. I'm guessing you are new to android or you would already know that's the normal way mass storage is handled, and its huawei's stock rom that's different. understandable if EmotionUI was your first look at android ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hele16 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Hi, I have a Huawei Y300-0100 Czech Republic. Handsfree is connected, but the sound is heard from the phone. During the call, off and on hadsfree and everything is fine. Every time I call, repeat this procedure. You do not know how to solve this problem? Thank you.

Guest ZolaIII Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) Just to let everyone on the costume roms know that the official firmware upgrade is just rolled out over the OTA! It's a 194B (87,16 Mb) containing the Viber fix & Google patches for the system! It's for Y300 & base it's 178B... This is most frequent trade, i will delete this in a couple of days.

Guest ZolaIII Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 This for stock ROM as well? It's for Y300 international! If there is no any for G510 in next couple of days then there is sense in uploading this so the guys like "Tilaz" can integrate it manually in they buils! On the other hand Kral or someone else could make various (scripted) flash able zips so it's available for everybody on stock or stock based. To be honest i don't know is there any difference between this & 190B except naturally this one is intended for international version of Y300...

Before that I had a Motorola i1 running 1.5 and a Samsung Prevail running 2.3, so it's not my first time at the rodeo. If Huaewei ever gets around to posting the right firmware for the Y300-0151 I'll probably go back to stock and just "roll my own" as you have by stripping out the bloat and replacing apps with ones of my choosing. I don't really have an issue with EmotionUI. I liked that the version that originally came with my phone supported "inserting" app icons in front or behind others, and dragging icons across pages. With stock UI or the old EmotionUI that's part of B172 you have to manually move every icon after where you want the new icon to go. It was a minor inconvenience that it had no app drawer, but I just placed mostly unused apps on the last page and ignored them. I could have put them in folders instead.

Guest ZolaIII Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Well tray this one cawboy! It works like charm! http://www.mobilesmspk.net/application/personalization/advanced-xperia-z-launcher-v2-0-5_812 Nice to know that we have and good old boys around hire!

Guest ZolaIII Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Sory! I whose unable to catch the B194 OTA update because it's automatically deleted after 1/3 install steps! If someone else is willing to tray choose remind me later option after download! I can only confirm that is a bug fix update like B190 with probably more Googles patches, so it's stability - functional not performance update.
