Ok,
Since people have had some problems with losing reboot options, xloud, etc. from flashing older packages I am going to remove them & make this thread exclusively for Wolfbreak's 2.3.3 rom v6 (or latest). As of now it is the rom I use and the only one I can test properly and guarantee working. I am only including the framework-res.apk in these zips and not framework.jar or android.policy.jar, etc. so they will not add functionality to other roms and will only work with roms that share the same features as WB's.
Remember you can make a theme with a percentage battery at UOT kitchen or use one of the other mods or themes around if you have issues.
*Note-You will not need to mount anything special when installing these. Flash as a custom zip in xrecovery as you normally would.
Zipaligned,for her pleasure.
Grey Battery Icon with Percentage
Flash as a custom zip with xrecovery
Download: WB_v6_GreyBattery.zip
PLEASE remember to back up your phone before installing!!
Grey Super Circle with Percentage
Flash as a custom zip with xrecovery
Download: WB_v6_GreyCircle.zip
PLEASE remember to back up your phone before installing!!
Other versions reported working:Here
Icons are from Fightspit's thread and UOTK
Thanks to MrRusch & _calum_ for doing this originally
Thanks Frosty666 for initial screens & testing
Thanks to 10asseye & zorglub08 for the icon fix & keeping up with this when I wasn't.
Hit "Thanks" if you use it
Great work, we needed something like this. The default battery icon is useless.
I'm just backing up and downloading now. I will report back in about 10 minutes with the results. I'm using Wolfs's 2.3.3.
EDIT:
Works fine on Wolfs 2.3.3. Only one small bug; when charging, on the lock screen where it displays the battery level, the icon is slightly cut off at the top and bottom. No biggie though. Good work AyDee.
Screenshots are attached.
Great, thanks for confirming! Between my daughter's birthday and other stuff I haven't had a second to sit down & flash the SE 2.3 yet.. Tomorrow!!
I will fix the icons that are cut off and make an xrecovery zip soon.
And hopefully we'll see some themes pop up in the next few days using this
This is now flashable via xrecovery.
Also, the lockscreen images should be fixed.
Sorry for the double-post... Cheers!
Flashed worked absolutely fine.

Handset will reboot while you long press the power button to invoke the power menu with Wolfbreak's GB_V06.
I have installed new Wolf firmware 006 and this Battery Mod crashes when you press power button.
I was loving this circle mod until I started to investigate (why crashes with Wolf Mod) and If I can solve it and I found A VERY STRANGE THING (for me):
Can you tell me why do a battery mod that only changes Notification Icons does need ALL this strange permissions?:
*Your Personal Information: read contact data, read user defined diccionary, write contact data
*Services that cost you money: directly call phone numbers
*Your messages: modify Gmail, read Gmail
*Your location: coarse network/gps location
*Network communication: control near field communication, create Bluetoot connections, full internet access
*Your accounts: use te authentication credentials of an account
*Phone Calls: read phone state and identity
*Hardware controls: change your audio settings, record audio
*Systems tools: bluetoot admin, change Wifi state, change UI settings, disable keylock, modify global system settings, mount and unmount filesystems, prevent phone from sleeping, write access point name settings, write sync settings.
I fixed the charging/low battery icons, one pixel line was cut at the bottom.

WTH are you talking about? How are you even trying to install this? If you are trying to install framework-res.apk with an app installer it won't work. Framework-res.apk may need those permissions since it tells the ui how to behave for all of those actions but I honestly have never dealt with permissions when installing.

Awesome, got your PM & I'll update soon.
I originally made this since UOT Kitchen was down and there was no circle battery mod out yet. I will continue to update it to make it easy to just download & install, but remember you can make a theme with a percentage battery at UOT kichen or use one of the other mods or themes around if you have issues.
Cheers!
*Edit- There is a fix for Wolfbreak's 006 rom, see OP
Yes i did installed with xrecovery in update 005. But when I've installed firm 006 at first circle battery wasn't functioning so i tryed to extract it and install the apk only to check if that helped and this permissions issue came up... I really dont like that this mod has all this permissions.

Yes, it would be fine. Remember that bootmenu included in r2beta port has problems applying updates. It can´t mount /temp and would give you error. Change your bootmenu/cwm before updating.
I still can´t gent to mount RW in rootexplorer. Don´t know if it´s the version Im using, or other thing.

Yes, su works, but I tried some apps that needs root, and dont ask for root permissions. Maybe it´s a problem with superuser.apk?

Apps on my phone that ask for root privilege are workig with no problems, including rw on rootexplorer. I used titanium backups to restore.
Thanks for reporting, will test further.
how much of a chance is there of bricking? is it a big risk? currently on cm7 latest build, if i flahsed and then wiped data, cache and dalvik, would i have less of a chance? silly questions i know
thanks anyway
The same chance than with any other rom
But you know, there are people that screw things beyond imaginable reasons
Tanks man!!!

Actually it is realy hard for a stupid guy to perma-brick Milestone 2, thanks to the locked bootloader...
You can always go to bootloader mode and flash an SBF.
Just make sure you don't mess with /pds (this has your IMEI and is unique to each device) and some /dev/block/mmc1p* partitions.
Sent from my Milestone 2 XDA App
Yep, If you know the basics, it should be hard to break it.
Some pc's dont like rdslite, dont know why. Just be careful to cover the basics before flashing your phone.
Guys, do you like miui? It's so nice this ROM. Maybe is not the fastest, but the work miui team did, it's amazing.

Sent from my Milestone using Tapatalk
i didnt include it. i`ll see what i can do next week.
Is this based on your update to DannyDroid's MIUI version or Galnet? And what's the difference anyway?
Which MIUI-flavor would you recommend in terms of stability and speed?
Thanks for your hard work - good to see new dev's working on the stone!
it is based on miuiandroid version with the usual improvements (ext2, for example.).
i thought of using galnet version but since miui is a closed source, galnet can`t really do much with it. and, it comes with unnecessary apps.
anyway, i`m still new to this and i hope to improve with each version
thanks do you how to enable 5 point multitouch in miui?
another question for hardware keyboard, when i press alt+g its output is "-" not "%",same for all others, can u fix this?
nim, why don't you combine your ROM with hebmiui ROM?
it could be very helpfull
or at least explain to us how do you app2ext on miui, I couldn't make it, thats why I'm using your ROM, wich is very good btw!
Checking the new one for few days and will reply. seems nice and smooth!
Just flashed this ROM today because i wanna try out something new
first, i'm very impressed by its speed. though it's by no mean as fast as CM7 and FM, it is fast for a MIUI rom. The horrible lags that pretty much killed MIUI for me are not there (or maybe there but are subdued somewhat). So if super high speed is not one of your concern, you can flash this rom for a change
Other than that, I will have to further test it and see how. it's not laggy so much as to push me back to my CM nandroid :x

- 3 Launchers (Adw, Huawei and Holo V1.0.1)
- TouchScreen, compass and battery calibrators
-> Wipes Required - Dalvik, Cache
-> Formats - Boot, System
-> Data Wiping / Factory Reset - no problems were reported by not wiping data but, if u encounter problems (bootloop, FCs, apps not working, etc). u'll need to do a wiping data + dalvik and reinstall all your apps
--> if ur apps are linked, unlink them. After flash/reboot, dalvik cache will rebuild itself with all apps info, including the linked ones. this way, wont exist conflicting doubled dalvik's
- CM 7.2 RC1 sources for Huawei u8150
- Lightly themed
- 40% Tweaked (0% Supercharged)
- Increased performance
- Screen, compass, battery calibrators
- Other Stuff i can't remember now

How to change ClockWorkMod Recovery
I made it simple by using the same proccess of flashing a rom. you just put the cwm zip file in your sd-card. Reboot to CWMod recovery, select "install zip from sdcard", select your new cwm zip file. After flashing, go to advanced and select "Reboot Recovery". Now you can see your new Recovery.
How to change MAC address
Method 1- unzip MacAdress.zip, go to system\etc\firmware\, open with notepad++ this file "nvram.txt", find this line of code:
macaddr=00:90:4c:14:43:26
write your own mac-address found inside the phone in the battery case, save.
go all the way back, zip META-INF and system folders with Store compression.
or just open MacAdress.zip (not unzip), go to system\etc\firmware\ and drag-and-drop to that folder ur edited "nvram.txt".
flash the new MacAdress.zip, fix permissions, reboot.
Method 2- open RootExplorer in system\etc\firmware and open "nvram.txt" with text editor, locate this line
macaddr=00:90:4c:14:43:26
and write your own mac-adress (like 11:22:33:44:55:66), save and close, reboot.
To install from stock rom you need these ones too
- [z4root]
- [rom manager]

[COLOR="Red"][B]What is Working[/B][/COLOR]
Apparently almost everything
[COLOR="Red"][B]Bugs/Not Working[/B][/COLOR]
[COLOR="Red"]what are the drawbacks? The bugs that i need to live with of i update?[/COLOR]
FM Radio not working. Almost all phones that had FM Radio, updating to Cyanogenmod made them lose FM Radio because of certified drivers and other issues
Keyboard - some keys that used the double function, like the ".com" key or the "smiley" key, are stuck to using only one function, ".com" stays just "@". if u have keyboard issues (keys switched or something), flash the correct version for your phone. more info at the 2nd post.
TouchScreen calibration - it is not the best compared to the one used on u8300 eclairs, but is something almost as good.
Onscreen Keyboard - since most users use the hardware keyboard, the onscreen keyboard is purposely disabled. so if u want back the onscreen keypad (to use other soft keyboard like go keyboard or, i dont know... tswipe), just ask for a patch enabling it, otherwise i'll keep it disabled as a reminder of the keyboard issues. By request of songrak, a patch enabling the on screen keyboard is available for download, plus a Huawey Keyboard app (tx to RedDeviL). Check the Extras section.
[COLOR="Cyan"]Remember this is not an update for the stock rom, it's a new OS. [/COLOR]
Keyboard access Keys for a turned off phone
Call button + volume up + power -> turn on phone in CWM recovery
Hang up + power -> turn on phone in Bootloader mode (fastboot)
Hang up + volume up + power -> activate the huawey stock rom flashing, it will wipe everything in your phone and flash the stock rom back to phone (if you have a dload folder in your sdcard)
Flashing Requirements
- Rooted phone
- ClockWorkMod Recovery
- Rom files
- Partitioned SD-Card -> Read post 2 for more info
- 100% battery charge (in reality you just need something between 40% and 100%, but this way if u encounter problems, u'll still have energy in the phone to solve them and it will avoid a miss-install resulting from the power ended during flash)
Flashing Procedure
note: - Put the files into the root of your sd card or any other folder of ur liking.
just by my experience, i advice u to put also the dload folder at the root of ur sdcard, with just the updata.app inside. its just in case u experience something (phone not coming out of bootloader after restart or something) and this way u can go back to stock easy and start again
[Stock - 1 to 20] / [Others -> 5 to 20]
1- Install z4root and do a Permmanent Root to the phone
2- Install rom manager and open it
3- Select "flash ClockworkMod Recovery" to install the custom recovery from rom manager, choose huawei ascend recovery
4- go to "all clockworkmod recoveries" and flash a previous version of ClockworkMod Recovery, after finish, do step 3 again and go to 5. (its to avoid conflitcs with the huawey recovery and to avoid no access to CWM recovery)
5- select Reboot into recovery and do a full backup of your current rom (optional, but if u dont do it, u'll lose everything u had - if u want to go back to your previous rom)
In CWMod recovery Menu u use the trackball to go up/down (press it results in a "enter key"), the go back buttom is a go back buttom (lol) and return (enter) key is a enter
6- select wipe data/factory reset from the menu
7- go to advanced and select wipe dalvik cache
8- go to mount and storage and select format boot and format system (use the keyboard enter key to avoid selecting and entering the wrong one with the trackball)
9- Choose "install zip from sdcard" and select Vicky from the menu, go on with the process
10- Once done, again Choose "install zip from sdcard" and select gapps from the menu, go on with the process and again choose "install zip from sdcard" and select SuperSu
11- go to advanced and select fix permissions
12- go back and select reboot system now (remove ur sim card before)
the first boot it should take between 1 to 4 minutes (the phone is in bootloop if u see the animation or the boot sound restarting itself - the screen goes black and the android in a circle appears again, if it does this again and again, its on bootloop. if u dont see that it is fine (since it doesnt stay there for 15 min))
13- Calibrate screen and it will reboot as soon u finish. (read bellow if u miscalibrate screen)
14- insert the sim card before the phone enters the boot animation
15- turn on wifi, check if it is activating, if u dont use the 3G data, turn data off. Configure everything u want to be set ( like the crt animation or the buttons on the status bar or the allow unknown sources install - this one is a must), dont open link2sd nor set the cpu to 710 (or other) yet
16- reboot into recovery (long press the power button and select Reboot and Recovery mode)
17- Choose "install zip from sdcard" and select Boot sound Remover then reboot system, if u want to remove the boot sound
18- go to apps drawer, open No-frils CPU control, there should be there 2 frequencies, 245 and 600, change the 600 (it is the higher frequency the phone is working after reboot) to the value u want (dont worry, all of them were tested and none will grant problems, dont go bellow than 600, u'll slow down the phone and drain battery faster, 710 grants more performance and the battery drain is almost the same as 600), apply and grant superuser permissions
19- Open link2sd, grant permissions and select ext4.
20- Reboot
21- Install Google play Services (com.google.android.gms-7.8.95_(2113048-032)-7895032-minAPI9.apk) <- i don't know if Google PS will update itself for the most recent one (and bigger one) but it can be denied by going inside the playstore, searching for Google play Services and in the options, de-select auto-update.
22- Enjoy
(one thing, after the 1st boot and after the sim pin screen - if u have the sim card inserted -, let the phone stay a while in the touchscreen calibrator, there is chance that u need to insert the pin again and that will restart the calibration and could miscalibrate the screen. if u dont that to happen, insert the sim card before the 2nd boot)
If by any chance u miscalibrate the display - Go back in recovery mode and flash TSReset, reboot and go to Calibration app in Cyanogenmod settings
advice for a perfect install/config
- 1st boot - before calibrating screen wait till holo locker locks screen, then unlock, give a few seconds, then calibrate, this way u'll avoid the restarting of the calibration app. if, cant reach the unlock button, rotate phone
- 3rd boot - [Very important] Give 2 minutes before entering pin because file system is being changed (dalvik cache is being recreated on cache partition and if the OS is loading apps, the dalvik wont be perfectly moved)
- after selected the home launcher, you can freeze the other ones, using link2sd (selecting the launchers that you dont want, long pressing them and freeze) ou by using the applications section in settings.
p.s. u can disable the holo locker when u want to
- the boot sound is activated, i let it stay because, this way, u can see if the phone enters in boot loop after install (the music restarts). when u are done with the configs, u can delete it.
dont bypass the google apps or it will result in no-lockscreen and no receiving calls/sms bug.
(just kidding but they are really, really necessary)
any opinion, bug report, other things about the rom is welcomed to improve the rom
lol. +6k views and only one thanks

How to partition a SD-Card and how to work with Link2SD + Swap
Using this you can add more apps to your phone and keep a lot of internal memory free
[link2sd]
[XDA - sdcard partitioning]
[how to partition sdcard using windows]
[[GUIDE] Link2SD for Dummies] -> it wasnt me who named it
[[Video] How to Partition Your SDCARD using CWMod Recovery]
[[Video] Partitioning SD for Apps2sd and Swap]
[[GUIDE] Increase RAM using Swap File and Swap Partition] -> it has a text guide for Minitool partition wizard
~Values for the partitions: (as allways, its your choice to increase or decrease those values)
Swap - Max 64mb (initially i had 256mb (too much). even at 128mb and 100% swapiness, it was much. so i tested with 64mb and got the perfect partition size for swap, leaving a couple of free mb if wanted to increase swapiness)
SD-Ext - depends on the size of your sdcard and if you install lots of apps and want to link them so, minimum - 128mb
The rest is for sdcard data
Remember to backup your sdcard before partition it
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After flashing the rom, you'll need to calibrate battery.
use the batterycalibration app or the built-in app in CM settings to calibrate battery.
let the phone charge to 100%, wait 10-15 min, open batterycalibration, the battery values should be around 4120 and 4167mv, press battery calibration (do not unplug the phone yet). shutdown the phone, let it stay in charging mode for 5 min. reboot, check the new battery values at batterycalibration (the new ones should be between 4170 and 4270mv), let it sit there for another 5 min and, finally unplug the phone.
-> sometimes after doing the calibration, the battery 1st charge drains in a few (between 8 and 16) hours, but its normal. <-
even it drains the 1st charge, dont worry about doing a 2nd battery calibration. just do a normal charging, after one or two charging/draining cycles the battery will work properly.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
keyboard files for other languages
tuono in Adrenalin's thread made several keyboard installers, they work in Vicky's too, they are on the 1st page, 1st post.
u just need to download it, place it at ur sdcard, reboot to recovery, choose "install zip from sdcard", select the language file, after finish, fix permissions and reboot.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GPS settings
the actual gps settings are for europe.
if u are from outside that area or u want a more specific area, u can use the fasterfix app. on its menu there are some gps servers and a custom option. by selecting it, u can write the one gps server u want (if it wasnt on the list). basically, it is just writing down the country abrv.
(france is fr, united kingdom is uk, etc) before the gps server adress.
something like this
uk.pool.ntp.org
for more info, visit http://www.pool.ntp.org/
using gps status app (its on google store), u can see if ur internal gps hardware is working and ur actual location
Note: u8300 huawei's gps was made to be an online gps (a gps assisted by internet), meaning, for it to work with google maps, ndrives and others, it needs to be connected to the internet to work properly (unless u use an off-line gps app that saves the maps in the sdcard and uses the tracking system to navigate, there are a few in google store and they work great without internet)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Important
for the ones that dont like being at the spotlight
(just kidding)
the beats audio boot sound was supposed to delete itself after that 1st boot but apparently busybox (i think?!) cant remove it while the phone is booting
use some root explorer app and delete this file (android_audio.mp3) from this folder "system/media/audio/ui"
or replace it with the sound u like. (needs to be renamed android_audio.mp3) <- i did that and some guys hate my guts
or if u are a windows user, go google (lol ) and search for android commander, or go to the creator thread here in xda, its a very usefull tool and u can use it to delete that file and to do other stuff with ur phone. there is also a linux version but i think its a dead issue, but if anyone want a peek, go see it
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TouchSceen Calibration
if the display miscalibrates it self by bad calibration input or other stuff, go to recovery and use the TSReset to reset touchscreen calibration
the rom has some TS values by default, that allows you to go to the screen calibrator and calibrate again without any problems and with more accuracy. this way the old bad calibration input wont interfere with the new one

For just the portuguese users
[Mini-Tutorial] Configurar MMS em Android
os apns foram actualizados com as modificações necessárias mas se, por algum acaso, (ainda?!) não funcionarem as mms, façam o seguinte:
- Instalar APN Portugal
- Abrir o APN Portugal e seleccionar "Configurar APNs"
- (opcional) Colocar o widget do APN Portugal no homescreen (recomendado)
- (opcional para controlar acessos indevidos à internet) Garantir que o widget está vermelho e não verde, ou seja, a internet está desligada OU abrir o APN Portugal e garantir que a internet está desactivada
- Ligar dados no smartphone (Definições - Sem fios e Redes - Redes Móveis - Check Dados activados)
- Testem enviando uma MMS para vocês mesmos.
NOTA IMPORTANTE: Se colocaram o widget, sempre que quiserem aceder à internet sem ser por wi-fi, TÊM que carregar no widget para ele ficar verde, senão não vão conseguir aceder à internet. Se não colocaram o widget têm que ir à app APN Portugal e activar o acesso à internet.
NOTA IMPORTANTE 2: Com a instalação do APN Portugal é possivel permitir/negar o acesso à internet (excepto wi-fi) por parte do smartphone, por isso não há problema de ter sempre os dados activados desde que se faça um bom controlo na APN Portugal para activar ou negar o acesso à internet. Eu tenho os dados sempre ligados e quando necessito de aceder à internet 3G basta-me tocar no widget e voilá. Quando termino a navegação, toco outra vez no widget e a internet fica inactiva.

Issues and/or updates info
An annoying "bug"
Only 3 users complained about this <- i thank you for reporting problems, without those reports i'ld assume everything is fine and could neglect bugs or errors and i dont want that
"I have a problem with receiving messages... they come with big delay and/or I receive it multiple times, even though it's not sent to me more than once."
apparently its an occasional memory problem (at least that was my case but i am using dev version 2.5) but could be related to the phone app (no need to explain since i'll see if i can fix it in the next version)
this fixed mine
(the names may be different but i think u know what i am talking about)
go to settings / cyanogenod settings / performance / lock messaging app in memory (<-- check this box)
other fix
uninstall the message aplication, u can use the link2sd to do that, its quicker and easy
install go sms or handcent sms or someother messaging aplication
reply back which one fixed your problem so i can see where exactly is the problem and fix that in the next version
what is to do for next updates
make the keyboard be more like the stock keyboard
add a battery power bar - 90% done but v2.2.7 has an app for that purpose
add a cpu bar - 60% done
fix network tweaks - 80% done - only a few conflict with the cmparts settings and others with the network, so they are not implemmented in v2.0 or v2.2.7 but dont worry the important tweaks are already running at the boot start
fix camera saving 90 degrees rotated files or fixing adrenalin camera transparency menus problem - i will do the one that is quick and wont be more a pain in the a**
fix the camera and gps battery drain that results from their using - that comes from the sources, the problem isnt after their use, is while we are using those apps. a friend is already trying to make them a little less energy drainners, lets see if he can do that
FM radio -> still a pita but dont force close the fm radio app anymore
modding
fix some icons that overcome the text bellow in buttons -> done
a bug resulting in a fc on the config of the light button at cmparts, options are already configured but if we want to change it, it forces close
fix the size of some menus (bigger than adrenalin and some bigger than stock), its a problem because this is an mdpi rom now instead of a ldpi like adrenalin -> 30% done
p.s.- i will try making those fixes not requiring any wiping, its a bummer doing wipes everytime and it wears the nand memory (from what i could investigate, only after 100k wiping cycles, lol, still have lots)
i will put more after

Just wanted to report back on version 2.2.7.
It seems to keep more apps in the memory and multitasking is for the first time kinda usable on gingerbread.
Menu buttons are fine now
ICS rotation is awesome!
Still cant notice a difference with beats audio, because our soundcard just sucks more then can be fixed by software, even stock wasn't good.
Bravia engine, can i turn that on and off at some place or is it enabled by default?
Only problem i noticed, after upgrading, the gmail app was gone and if i installed it from the play store it just crashed. Could be fixed by moving the apk to /system/app and fixing permissions.
Seems like its slowly getting better and better.
Thanks for your work!
Silas
that was my fault. i posted the wrong updated gapps (missing facebook, gmail, etc), tx for reporting
later i'll fix that
bravia is on by default in build.prop
ro.service.swiqi.supported=true
persist.service.swiqi.enable=1

i tried to add an on/off to settings but... (i'll work on that later again). i noticed a difference in the taken pics, not on the camera display (stock cam app sucks, try the sleek cam and see the difference, clear img)
is hard to notice beats audio but u can tell if u put full volume that it doesnt distort audio like stock eclair. try setting a preset in the dsp manager
but that is one of the reasons i'll try xloud or megabass
edit: gapps fixed
edit2: lol
weird stuff
trying to add an Bravia on/off to settings, managed to fc wireless setting in the proccess. the surprising stuff was the free ram it left available.
135/178 mb (available/total) ->>>> something to lookup. to see if it can be managed to have all that free ram and have a full working O.S. <- that would be something really big to this little device (gameboy, lol)
btw, Silas, have u done a data wipe before fashing 2.2.7?

We do have 256MB of ram built in, right? Should the os itself really take more then 100MB, as it doesn't even has a GPU to keep up and running?
It actually quite noticeable how much faster the HTC Wildfire is, with the same CPU, but more RAM.
Nope, i didn't do a data wipe, just cache and dalvik. But my phone has now started to behave the same way as with your first patch, it doesn't keep the settings (for example the screen brightness resets itself) and i cant go to airplane mode.
I will see if your latest gapps update fixed that, and then report back. When the always terribly slow rapidshare has finished downloading
funny. my downloads and uploads are fast from rapidshare. i uploaded gapps from my u8300 in 4min. (i might switch to dropbox the big files and leave rapidshare for the stuff with 2mb or less)
according to http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/huawei_u8300, we have 256mb, but unless the 178mb that appear in status are the ammount of ram available for the user and the missing rest (that dont appear anywhere) for the o.s. ,.... u get the idea.
512mb of memory flash
192mb- data
170mb- system
70mb - cache
3-4mb- boot
1mb- splash screen ( bootlogo)
(the rest for mombo-jumbo partitions like OTA)
the day i figure how to change partitions size without messing the phone internals.... that will be a good day
i was affraid of that. i do not experience that but i flashed with full wipe. not using data wipe was only tested with users that dont keep much stuff in data (almost nothing only apps) and i dont know if they changed the default settings and since none reported any problem, i figured it was fine.
like i said, v2.2.7 is a new rom, only the looks is the same as v2.0. that bug now (since i still didnt put the super 3g tweaks that busted those settings) is probably resulting from the saved settings/info/etc in data partition.
since i removed those tweaks, i have not seen that bug again and i am using v2.2.7 for almost 2 weeks now.

Running aplications is showing about 50-70MB in total, so the OS must use ~200MB for something
Another thought, would it maybe help us if we use the sdcard for swapping? I'll try that today and look if i can notice any difference
Flash memory is not that much of a problem, as we have app2sd.

It's a pretty random problem. Yesterday the bug was there, but after reflashing the new gapps and replacing superuser with supersu, it's fine again
Optical Fiber still havent reached this part of portugal and 3g data plan is absurd. That example was using the phone and a (lets say) "public" wireless with 10% signal strenght reception. i dont know the up/down capacities of that one ( i just detected it and the rest is history. Lets say i have allways access to the net and never used the 3g data) but most people here buy the 2mb pack (2 mb down / 256kb up) argh, stone age! Normally, at home, i can download 1gb in less than 10min and upload about 2x longer.
I considered swap and and a ram module (zram.ko) too but i hadnt much time to try it.
I am not worryed with the flash memory, like u said, we have app2sd and link2sd. What is annoying for me is seeing all that mb just sitting there un-used
edit: use the sdcard for swapping?
process
- creation of a 3rd sdcard partition for swap
- adapt a script to format that in recovery and other to enable the swap partition at phone boot ()
results so far
pro-swap
- no battery drain resulting from doubled sd-card read/write (none that can be noticed even using other means to check battery outputs)
- phone seems more responsive and the benchmark test results were more stable than the previous ones without swap, in fact, increased an average of 14~20 total points in ram/cpu integer
- still havent noticed much improvement (there is some) in multi-tasking but the phone isnt loaded with much apps (read downside why) and that will tested again when i have loaded the phone
downsides
- according to any devs of swap scripts, Swapping decrease Micro SD's life but it is easier and cheaper to buy and replace a new sdcard than a new internal memory (no argument there, done a quick search and realised that for the price of a memory chip + repair, u can almost buy a phone). in fact, according to one dev, he is still using the same card for 2 years (almost year and half using swap) and he still didnt see any wearing problems in that sd-card area (swap partition) or any other.
- the reason why the phone isnt loaded with much apps is because for the creation of a 3rd partition, i wiped and divided the 2nd partition (link2sd partition) in 2. that interfered with the link2sd script in system and didnt let me either activate swap or link2sd partition or replace the link2sd scripts in system, so i did a fast solution for that, full wipe . what i should've done back then was modify the size and create a new partition using the free space of the 2nd partition and no problems after but some ideas only come after the previous ones failed. lol
- i dont know which is better for swap, if the swapper app in store or just a init.d script at boot. <- tests for later

I have been using swapper 2 for a few days now, and while it works fine, and hasnt caused any problems, it also hasn't improved anything that i could notice.
What size and swappines settings do you use?
125mb swap partition (so i have 3 physical partitions in sd-card, 1-fat32 (data), 2-ext4 (link2sd), 3-linux swap (swap partition))
swappiness=100
vfs_cache_pressure=25
apparently, most of the swappers agree that less than 100 almost dont do anything
my previous was 60
"A low value means the kernel will try to avoid swapping as much as possible where a higher value instead will make the kernel aggressively try to use swap space. The default value is 60, and for most desktop systems, setting it to 100 may help to improve overall performance, whereas setting it lower (even 0) may improve interactivity (decreasing response latency.)[1]"
Changin the minfree values to 6,8,16,20,22,24 is giving some truly amazing multitasking!
I can now have about 8-12 apps in the "memory", with nearly instant switching.
My vfs_cache_pressure is at 10, which i think is default, i have 256MB of swap, enabled with swapper 2, but on a seperate partition. swappiness=100
This phone has newer been so fast
Edit: I was voting for stock browser because i want a vanilla experience. But i use Opera Mini 95% of the time, and sometimes Opera Mobile.
tx for the info, silas
i had changed a "bit" those values and oom priorities, etc
vm.min_free_kbytes=18400;
mine were :̶8̶,̶2̶0̶,̶4̶5̶,̶6̶5̶,̶9̶0̶,̶1̶0̶0̶ 10, 16, 55, 70, 85, 100
i'm still testing those for side-effects

in the pic above, i used v6 script for tests. even though i changed all values, it still said 50% supercharged. then i figured out why, the script couldnt find the supercharged adj file nor the minfree. v6 puts them in /data to read them at boot start but since i didnt supercharged, my /data didnt have them. (i just altered the rom defaults making a more cleaner version - less files in /data and /init.d - and 100% tweak stick. on the opposite, v6 values didnt stick every 2 boots - dont know why that happened)
i love zepp's work but i dont use v6 supercharger for, mainly, two reasons
1- slows down boot proccess (dont know why), it can be noticed in the boot animation, it becames slower
2- some tweaks in the script block the light, orientation, gps, data toogles (one cant change those if the wifi or data is connected)
what i changed in rom defaults (these are only if using swap)
OOM_MEM_Settings, OOM_ADJ_Settings -> build.prop
minfree 2560,4096,14080,17920,21760,25600 -> (10, 16, 55, 70, 85, 100)
adj 0,3,6,10,12,15
swappiness 100
vfs_cache_pressure 25 -> yeah, the default is set to 10
dirty_expire_centisecs 500 -> will test other values later
dirty_writeback_centisecs 1000 -> same here
dirty_ratio 95
dirty_background_ratio 60

a good memory management
It seems like you are trying to get as much free memory as possible. Which isnt exactly what i want to do. Unused memory is always just wasted memory.
The perfect memory management would be when we can have all the memory filled up, but always have something that can be cleaned up when needed.
I havent tried all your values yet, might do that when i have more time, and a computer. Right now im testing out these values: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1227269
Also, Rom Toolbox is fantastic for this kind of tweaking, just a tip
That will be a yes and no. I am trying to keep free some internal memory to use when its needed by the current aplication or the os and load up all the rest in swap. Just like what u are doing but using swap as loaded "ram" to give some slack to internal ram for when we need it. I found out that the internal taskkiller kills apps after some time in internal ram, cached or not, even if tricking it to think we have more than 178mb ram ( the oom adjustments) but it doesnt kill the ones mostly present in swap (funny stuff). Other reason was because the phone couldnt reach deep sleep with a loaded internal ram and with taskkiller seeking for terminable apps, all that increased the battery drain. Since i never turn off wifi nor data, i noticed some power drain, higher than the ones before
rom toolbox, i used it a lot before when i was on adrenalin update 2 but it cant alter the lease value too. I can do most of the stuff by head now, in part tx to rom toolbox

I must say, your settings work ok too, pretty much the same result as my earlier settings.
I found something interresting
I was replacing some system apps with the ones from Cyanogen 7.2, and i suddenly noticed that the auto brightness option was back. (I love that feature, relly usable ) It must have been eather Settings.apk or Settingsprovider.apk that did the magic.
But it introduced one bug, which also was on adrenalin earlier, I have too open the wifi settings to make it scan and connect. Could maybe be fixed by changing some scan settings?
Also, replacing some other files made a difference in performance. (Maybe just an illusion...) I think it must have been framework-res.apk and systemUI.apk. Maybe some other apps where optimized too.
And that gave me the stock look back. Nothing back about your theme, but stock looks much better
Replacing camera fixes the menu, (not transparent and horrible to read anymore). Image is still rotated, I might look into that later

It does really seem a little bit smoother now
nice to see that someone is making stuff for our phone. like tuono once said, "i was starting to feel a little lonely here"
if u are using the ones from u8150, its normal they work good with vicky. like most roms made from cyanogen sources for huawei phones (u81xx/u82xx/u85xx/u88xx/m86x, etc), they all use the official u8150 code and part of vicky's code is also based on those sources, the rest is based on samsung.
about auto-brightness, u replaced the cmparts.apk. the "bug" is on that apk. its not an error in the code but something else interfering with the openning of that setting. i've tried the lux app and it proved me that auto brightness is working. activating the brightness icon (not the app in drawer but the toogle like the wifi, bt) in the toolbar (systemui.apk) and then pressing it until it reach auto, showed that too. i wasnt much concerned with that because i think it works backwards, when in sunlight it reduces the brightness and in darkness is the opposite, it burned my eyes when i used (i have photo-sensitivity <- i think thats the right name in english for that) and u8300 display is hard to see with sunlight and low brightness. but everyone is free to use what they see fit to it.
about performance, u are right. most performance increased is an illusion and its not. i did a couple of tests before i succumbed to the urge to change the stock looks (lol. i was forced by u know who ). i tested with stock look, mod look and stock look with a theme applied (using theme chooser). the results were pretty much the same but only modded looks got allways higher scores. most definitely because most pngs are smaller in kb than the ones from sources and the ones in the theme apk, that size makes all the framework (i'm not just talking about framework-res.apk here but all that is loaded for the display view) to occupy less in memory therefore granting more performance. but all that is if using vicky's apps, generated from vicky's mixed sources. now the reason that u have or appear to have an increased performance is because u replaced most system apps except the jar files. most of them dont make a difference but systemui, settings, cmparts and frameworks-res make. a quicky way to explain is if u think those apps as computer hardware and programs that run at windows start. if u disable some hardware and block some services and programs to start at boot, u will notice an increased performance in the pc, that is what u did. by replacing those apps u disabled some "instructions", since they wont run, more performance. just like when i crashed the network settings and freed a lot of ram. the jar files in frameworks folder use those instructions to make run some stuff like the 1% battery. stock only has 10% battery indicator.
i hope i explained myself well. its 6h in the morning here and i dont sleep for almost 34h. and i have to feed Vicky (btw, Vicky is the cat)
i am a bit curious about some things. why the rom manager and cmwallpapers conflict? those apps are universal. (cmscreenshot, u did have to replaced it, its universal, same code for every gb rom)
about the looks, i am making it a theme chooser app. it will make more easier for me to do the needed stuff in system apps without having to concern about the looks and the ones that dont want that look can easily change it or delete.
other thing, battery seems mor stable now. heres a screenie

Yes i have those from u8150, because its 90% the same hardware. Just another screen and no keyboard. (and maybe some internal stuff like the acelerometer, but those should "always" work).

But cmparts.apk is just for cyanogenmod, and other roms, even plain android source, has this feature. A fun little fact, even the stock rom could read light sensor data, but the auto brightness feature was missing.
Is it epilepsy you have? Its when you react to fast color/light changes?
It's possible to change the brightness values, and some other nice settings, in the cyanogenmod settings>Display>Automatic backlight

So your framework-res.apk is smaller? (don't have your files left, and rapidshare is still slow ) I might try to write a small python script that decreases the quality of the images.
Could you explain what i have disabled, because everything is still running, that i can notice. Or have you added some services that i disabled? (i get that the battery is updating less often but that shouldn't make a noticeable difference?)

The conflicts are just some things owncloud (my hosting service, similar to dropbox, but on your own server) messed up. It's not the most stable peace of software ever written
Cmscreenshot was not exactly the same size, so the might have optimized something since the last release.

Battery stats never worked for me, it always blames some random app like youtube for 99% of the usage, even if it was running 5seconds
But at least battery life is ok for me, usually enough for a school day.
Edit: I will try to build some apps from source, and maybe reduce the size if possible. Might also try to take a look at the camera.
Edit 2:
I fixed the camera rotation

Also i'm working at reducing the memory usage of the framework.
Could someone (NAZUnlimited) please check how much memory "Android System" and the service com.android.systemui is using?
Mine is currently at 21.48MB (was at 20MB directly after boot) and the systemui at nearly 6MB
You can use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rs.autokiller to check that.

no, not that. a sleeping brain couldnt find the right word or expression
photophobia or light sensitivity. i have cat eyes or bilateral coloboma (cat eyes is cooler, lol). my sight is fine, i just have to wear glasses with lenses that change color with light (i dont know the name of that, photo lenses or something). my coloboma problem is more of a cosmetic thing but it leave me with a high sensitivity to light.

ok. after install the program
free ram -> 96MB
Android System -> 20.11MB
com.android.systemui -> 4.53MB
after reboot (here the program changed my oom settings without asking and i didnt apply nothing)
free ram -> 67MB
Android System -> 18.79MB
com.android.systemui -> 4.82MB
reboot 2 (with deny permissions for autokiller and keeping my settings)
free ram -> 85MB (with time or use, some apps will be cached to swap and will free ram)
Android System -> 19.26MB
com.android.systemui -> 4.07MB
i tested the cam. great job on that. now the only thing that remains to fix in that is to unsquare the img we see in the app. there was a cm's cam app that didnt have that problem, only the rotated save problem. dont remember if was in the htc or xperia cm gb.
one thing, reducing with high compression the size of the app is great for the amount of space it occupies in memory ("physically") but it forces the use of more ram to read the app, reducing performance. that is why odexed apps grant more performance (but they grant other problems). the trick is to set the right compression and/or reducing the amount of space the app occupies unpacked (pngs, code, etc). thats why zipalign is very important to deodexed roms

no, my frameworks is in fact bigger than the one from sources, it has more files stored inside (if i recall right, something between 260 and 330) (used the trick above).
dont worry about what u have disabled. for stock looks, it wont cause any problems. but just in case, u should do a factory reset (data or just a dalvik reset) and check. if nothing force closes at start, u are fine. most services are in the jar files. u wont have any problems unless u replace those.
about the quality of the images, u need to be carefull there. most pngs stored have visual indicators. if a pixel is missed on those indicators, u'll have visual bugs or worse, the os could stuck at the end of boot and stay there, never starting to the actual interface. i had those problems in a lewa rom (hdpi)

Well, why not try to odex all the apk's. The stock rom was odexed. Which problems should it introduce?
I'll do that now and see if i get any performance boost, or bugs

I have wiped data since my big changes, and no problems.
My framework-res.apk is currently 3.9MB, the same size as yours. But i have no idea where i got that from
I have actually replaced my framework.jar, with no problems at all. Mine is ~0,2MB smaller, most likely why my memory usage is lower. Also, some of my other .jar files are smaller, but i haven't tried those yet.
I had changed my images, and saved ~0.2MB there with no problems that i could find.
But the thing i wanted to do was to use a higher compression, but it was already as small as possible. So i reduced the resolution to 70% of the original (in each direction).
Reduced the size of drawable-mdpi to 976.0 kB from 1.1MB. No big changes. I might try to do that again with my new framework-res.apk (the one i don't know where it comes from ) and all the png's.
But i don't think we can save much there.
Edit:
I odexed a few system apps. Settings, systemui, holo launcher, camera, root explorer and play store
I noticed a little bit better performance with the launcher and the play store, but it's nothing revolutionary.
My system files are available here: http://silenz.se/owncloud/public.ph...dddf22a07966e8b75&file=/ownCloud/huawei_tweak

First of all many thanks to all those people who have made it possible to run CM10 on our mobiles - Kabaldan most importantly for developing CM10 and skrilax for the nightly builds. Also all developers like zepellinrox, fufu for the various applications, scripts and tweaks.
Since other users asked for a list of tweaks/modifications etc. I prepared this post.
The things I am proposing below are working for me, they might not work or be suitable to you and the way you use your device. I am just sharing my experiences.
Before installation:
- Fast micro sdhc card (4K random writes at 2 MB/s)
- 1 Ext 3 partition of 950 MB
- 1 Swap Partition of 950 MB
- Fufu open recovery minimod v.0.23
- Wipe all
After installation
- Install miui cam app from the link below. The first time camera is run, it asks for default application just choose the miui
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1687161&d=1359486822
- Install Quickpic. The first time gallery is run, it asks for default application, just choose quickpic.
- If there is a trouble with alarms of the default clock application (app freezing after choosing alarms) just erase cache of the app.
- Install FTL Launcher Lite (free mode is ok – no need for the paid one).
- Activate swap. I am using 98swapon script by fufu and I activate the whole of the available swap on my card. With the settings I use after a couple of days it usually stays below 100 MB. If you want experiment with fixed 64 MB, 80 MB or 128 MB.
- Install script manager from market
- Download the latest zeppelinrox script and the supercharger starter kit
From the starter kit install only sqlite3+zipalign_installer_v6.sh
Run the supercharger script and install it and activate what you want (I have activated everything and use 512 MB multitasking settings)
After that you will achieve 50% activation of the script.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18703418&postcount=5021
- Download Ultimate Jar Power Tools windows version. In order to install it you need to activate usb debugging and run the application as administrator from the pc. I think you also need Motorola drivers so that the phone is recognized by the pc. I activate everything.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914159
- I install autostarts, this is a program with which you can disable startup items. It is a paid app, I have not searched if there is a free alternative. I disable almost all non-system apps that I do not want running after boot and some system ones with great care like maps.
- I disable hardware acceleration for most apps I usually run. I have found this makes things a bit faster. This is because we are running with a CM9 graphics driver (maybe this is not the only reason, please correct me).
- After installing about 50 apps I have some trouble with play store. The app downloads but never installs. I have to exit play store, open a couple of apps that need much memory (e.g. navigation software, browsers etc.). After that I fire up play store again and the app starts installing. Also it has happened with some big apps in size (above 20 MB) that it says no free space is available. After clearing the cache of apps like web browsers, skype, navigation software, etc. the installation is possible.
- In order to make vibration stick even after reboot, it must be activated in profile settings. If the choice is made through the drawer it is lost after a reboot.
Most probably I have forgotten something; I will add it later on…
950MB for swap? Really? Too big.
Improve speed by setting all (3; windows, scale and speed) animations to disabled in Dev Options.
Uninstall Gallery and Trebuchet when you have installed an other app (QuickPic, FLT or Lightning Launcher) same for the Cam App.
I will keep this reply updated with all infos I can remember.
Never intended to use 950 MB swap with milestone and whenever I have seen the swap going over 150 MB in usage the phone is at the edge of usability. There are scripts and apps with which you can set a specific part of the swap partition for swap so you can actually set whatever you want from the 950 MB.
When going from one mobile to the next I usually don't format the card, since mp3s and so on will remain there. I formatted the card assuming that I would use it with my future phone as well and anyhow 32 GB are more than I currently use (about 15 GB). My last memory card of 8 GB came from my previous phone.
I was doing tests to see when the phone started to lag and this is why I had let it unlimited to the full 950 MB. It was about the time I installed zepellinrox script with ultimate jar tools. One side effect was that swap grew very slowly in comparison with before. I noticed that even after 3-4 days rarely it exceeded about 100 MB. Fufu also said that he would include in his script the option to set a specific size of the swap in the next version. So I kinda let it there.
Thanks _crAss_ for the usefull post and the work you put into it to help others. Whenever I have the time I will take the plunge into CM10 to see how it goes. As soon as I get it to my liking and if I enconter any problems/issues I will report it here so others might read as well.
Thanks again. :good:
I think one the most important of all this tricks is the fast SD Card. But I'm unable to find a good one. Mine is a SDC10/8GB from Kingston, but is not really fast at 4K writes. Do someone know good models? I want to buy a new one if it complies the necessary speed.
There is a post at another forum with lots of benchmarks. I give the link below. The problem is that different production dates give different results. I got the transcend Ultra 32 Gb, the results are not the same as the ones reported in that post, but are comparable and fortunately the 4K random writes is good. My old card was a Toshiba class 6 bought years ago, presenting class 10 speeds in sequential read/write. Unfortunately 4K writes were down to 0.016 KB/s making it unusable for swap (I used to use the internal memory for swap then).

Also yesterday I installed viber and experienced huge battery drain, about 10-10% per hour. Even though I disabled everything through autostarts it kept popping up in running apps list and I guess it constantly tried to connect to no avail (since I activate wifi or 3G only when I want to log on to the internet). The new battery I have with moderate use goes up to 2 days, so imagine my shock of going down to almost in a couple of hours with screen off during the night...
I´ve installed CM10 on my phone and I´m in the process of configuring all the apps I need on it. I will just give my first impressions of the pros ands cons.
Pros:
- CM10 seems smoother than 9 (when everything works correctly), but this might be due to cpu overclock settings (I´ll explain later);
- Still did not experiment with other cm10 exclusive functions like Google Now for example, but if they work that is a plus for me;
- Contacts Import/Export from SDCard option available from the Phone app;
- SMS sending on Enter issue with CM9 seems not hapening on 10 (I remember using it before and it did not happen on 10). Still need to further check on that.
Cons:
- Power button options do not include a screenshot option (as CM9 did);
- Notification bar when pulled hides the icons on top (I do believe on cm9 they remained there), and the user can´t see, in real time, the changes made;
- Network icon stays blank when conection is very,very low/no conection is possible (happens a lot with ****ty Vodafone at may house), to the point that I do not know if I do not have any conection at all (on CM9 when the network was inexistent a "x" appeard instead of the network strengh bars);
- Camera app does not have the option (nor the media/camera sounds renaming option helps) to disable shutter and focus sounds (it could be useful for people who wanted to use the stock camera for photos and panorama and another camera for video). I´m using UCam at the moment and the option is there. Did not try MUIU camera nor Zoom Camera as other options yet as mencioned somewhere, but I believe at least MUIU camera does not have panorama option (a feature I love to use and used alot on CM9);
- Overclock feature does not stick even after a screen on/off situation. It always reverts back to maximum 1000MHZ cpu clock (what I talked above-maybe the smootheness I feel is due to the cpu clock this high?). Most probably. My battery came to 20% from 100% in less than 6 hours with the cpu clocked like that.
On CM9 I used to use 600MHZ for comon tasks and 800MHZ for heavier tasks/heavy games (along with Swap enabled) and it did the trick perfectly. More than 800MHZ the cpu just gets to hot and the battery drain is too high in my opinion. Using the overclock script mod (when you need to change/scale everything to the clock you need) simply does not cut it for the use I´m after (quick change between options). Will try and see if old Milestone Overclock does the job on CM10.
From the top of my head these seem to be the things that popped out at first glance (and some really anoying - like the cpu thing). Will test it further and report back :good:
P.S: Is it possible to disable the CRT screen off style? I do prefer a simpler "old" school screen off style.
First of all which governor have you set? With it set to inteactive most of the time it settles at 250 MHz when doing nothing. I get (with a new battery) very long standby times. Even when fooling around with the phone a lot I can get easily a full day.
The screenshot in the power button menu can be activated in settings (System-Power menu).
If I remember correctly the animations can be turned off in Developer options.

Thanks for the reply. The governor setting is set to interactive, but still when I do use the phone it ramps up to 1000MHZ which, at least in my phone,the battery has got to years plus, it shortens battery life a lot, and I do believe the cpu gets to hot for my liking really. I installed Set CPU, the problem with it is that sometimes when rebooting the stock governor settings stick and override the Setcpu one´s. Other times it does not happen, and Setcpu one´s prevaile...
Relating the screenshot option, I found the menu I needed thanks to your input:good:. Still I can´t find any option for the CRT animation under development options or any other option really. Maybe it is not present on CM10? Other things I notice on CM10 is that sometimes when turning the phone on (booting) it does not always lock on my network provider, even filling in the pin number. Sometimes I go and notice the network is not activated at all and have to put the phone to fligh mode and back again for it to lock in. Other than that I´m installing all my apps and will see how it goes. For now it is snappy enough

Dear Ricfil,
I also agree with most of your findings.Are you using the stock launcher 'Trebuchet'?If you install 'Lightening Launcher' and delete Trbuchet CM10 will become more smooth.More over Lightening Launcher is lighter than than Trebuchet and FTL Launcher also.
Regarding UCam,it's present update is much worse than the previous making it user unfriendly and it's camera mode unusable.So I uninstalled it and tried with MIUI Camera.Although it is much light with 463 KB it is spartan and lacks major options like video flash.video zoom ,panorama camera etc.So I installed Zoom Camera now and found it is the most smoothest than the stck,MIUI&UCam having a low weight of 550 KB,with all functions like,Video Zoom,Video Flash,Shutter Sounds,Panorama, abundant options of focusing&colour filters etc.It's also is the most user friendly and it is having frequent updates also.
Coming to Battery Drain,if you install an apk from Playstore namely 'Greenify',it will considerably reduce the battery drain by hibernating unwanted applications running in the background all the time.It will allow the apk to run only when it is needed.
About CRT I don't know much much about it.So will you please through some light on it so we can understand in detail?
Thanking you...

This was changed in CM10. When you have no signal, the icon is a unfilled triangle with a thin border. But if there is signal, but it is too low, you see the dark grey bars.

:good: Thanks for the info man.
Relating Lightning Launcher, I´ve tried it before but the learning curve for it is to much for me right now. I need something easy ti use and fast. This Launcher is so amazing in the way it has got so much it can do that it tends to be to overwhelming, for me at least. I´m using the good "old" Launcher Pro on CM10 and for now it is doing the job pretty well in my opinion. Fast, stable, with all I need.
Another subject I notice is when titanium restoring apps some of them restore to the sdcard (not internal memory-ext partition). if I try to move them to the ext partition(internal memory) with the built in app configuration of CM10 an error appeares relating low memory on internal memory-when there is plenty of memory in there-on the ext partition. A workaround I found was using Titanium himself to move the apps to internal memory. It does the trick for me
Relating the camera aspect, I´m fortunate enough to have an old UCam version (agree with you, last one is not indeed user friendly-I much prefer the version I´m using). Will have to check Zoom Camera to see how it goes for me. By the way, did you unistall stock Camera and Galery? If so, did you do it the normal (aplication configuration) way?
Will definetly check the Greenify app also. But still the 1000MHZ clock is there, which is too much in my opinion at least. I´ve already created 2 10 overclock files with one of them with max cpu clock at 800MHZ (for heavy stuff-like games and such) and one with 600MHZ (for common tasks). They work great, the problem is that the script only sticks at boot, If I could find a way to make it stick when the system is on that would be awesome (to swap between them on the fly ). It probably isn´t possible-at leats for now.
The CRT aspect I mencion is the effect you see when pressing the power/on/off button to turn the screen off (that quick white line effect you see, like it happened with "old" CRT TVs (don´t know if your familiar with them, those big boxes of the 70s/80s/90S
Do you have a way to turn that effect off? On CM9 there was an option for it. On 10 I can´t seem to find it.
Will continue configuring the phone and will be posting back:good:
Thanks again.

Network Icon:
Yhea, I did get that. I guess I prefered the x icon when no network was available, because I do not know if when the signal is to low any bar appear (and if so, that might confuse me between very low signal and no signal at all). When the signal is good the bars are clearer?! I do believe this change is way more confusing than using the CM9 method, but... opinions

Yes, they are almost white, it's very easy to distinguish them. But when data is activated and working well, they turn blue.

Thanks Ricfil for the reply.
regarding stock gallery apk,I uninstalled it using TitaniumBackup with deletion of Backup and wiping of Data.
Coming to setting of CPU,have you used the facility in Settings/Performance/Processor/Maximum CPU frequency to set maximum to 800?
Regarding installation apks,I use the following method.After installation using Playstore or side loading the apks which show in the internal memory are moved to SD Card using Titanium Backup.AT first Titanium will ask whether Ext partition has to be activated.I opted yes.Thereafter Titanium will move all the apks to sd .In it there is also option to move the apks to internal memory.
And thanks for the information for CRT.Iam familier with it with my CRT TV.But I am sorry to offer a remark since I didn't give a particular noticce for it.
Thank you again

Ok. If I understood correctly, you unistalled the galery.apk of the phone using titanium, and after also deleted the galery backup on Titanium?... Did not quite get it May I simply unistall the camera and gallery whithout the phone go bootloop or something like that (my main issue, since no backup was made yet)?
Regarding Titanium apps installation, mine did not ask where I wanted the apps to be installed, they simply install and the stock app2ext script installs the apps onto the ext partition (when it works-since some apps do not install using the stock functions on my phone). That is why I mencioned I´m using titanium to "force install" apps to internal memory (ext partition). I´ve managed to install them all, will see if they are not broken or something like that.
On a side note. I´m pretty shure when I first installed CM10 (5 months ago) it had the option on keyboard settings to choose to disable the enter key to send sms messages (hardware keyboard). That was one of the things that made me switch to it again, since CM9 does not have this option. But lately I´ve been looking for that option and it is no longer there. At least I can´t find it...arghhh I HATE the lack of that feature. Pisses me off! LOL. Maybe kabaldan took the option out? Hope not...
Also today, a feature I was having pretty comonly the first time I installed CM10 happened again. The "Telephony problem-phone needs to reboot" dreadfull window appeard again, no network resulted from there and a reboot was the only way out of it. Some bugs I guess... that is why CM10 is still in Alpha stage I believe...
See you.
P.S: I´ve just read a private message from a fellow forum member named Sunxperous who was kind enough to help me out regarding the CRT style effect option. Better than using my on words, I believe he might not mind if I put here what he explained about the options to enable and disable that setting. It went like this:
Hello
I do not have the number of posts required to post in the development forums, so here is a private message with regards to the screen-off CRT animation.
I believe the option you are looking for is found under Settings > Developer Options, "Window animation scale". A scale of 1x renders the CRT effect, a scale of 0.5x and off disables the CRT effect.
I read elsewhere on the forum that turning the animation scales off or setting them at 0.5x makes the phone feel snappier. I liked the CRT animation, hence I kept "Window animation scale" at 1x.
I hope this helps, and if it does, do enlighten fellow Milestone users in the thread about it.

Regarding uninstallation of gallery.apk,I uninstalled it using Titanium with deletion of Backup.You can uninstall without deleting Backup.If Backup is deleted you can't restore the apk with Titanium.
Titanium will ask only in the first time after flashing the ROM with a full wipe and reinstalling Titanium as to whether ext sd card is to be configured for installing the apks.If we agree to it then it will install the apks to ext sd card automatically all the time afterwards without repeating the same question.
In relation to keyboard settings for "enter key' I also do not see any options in Settings/language input.
But I experience a problem with MMS.?The phone does not send MMS eventhough I completed the APN set up for the MMS as per the default settings specifications provided by my Carrier provider.When I press the SEND button the MMS shows 'Sending'.But it never sends.What should be the problem and what is the remedy?
Thanking you once more....

Titanium did not ask that on first time for me. I´m pretty shure it didn´t. Nevertheless, I found the way mencioned before to install all the misisng apps to internal/ext partition.
Relating the mms issue, I havent tried to send an mms yet. Will let you know how it goes when I do. If you did enable "activated data" option on definitons>wireless & networks>more>mobile networks, have network data enabled on the carrier side and it still does not send it, it is probably another CM10 bug I guess. I´ve read about people also having problems with tethering and the likes... Things meant to happen in "a work in progress" I guess...
Regarding Grennify, I´ve already configured all the apps possible to be hibernated on the app, but still, system apps like Maps, Google Play and others (which are always turning on on background memory) cannot be "grennified", with a warning that those system apps can´t be "touched"... It would be cool if this app would actually let users grennify all available apps...
Just remembered, things I don´t like on the notification area on CM10: The fact that the drop down isn´t semi-transparant like on CM9 and date is above the icons with big letters (personal opinion, but I prefered the smaller below the icons date letters on CM9). Small issues I believe .
Things I do like on CM10 notification area:
Available info regarding calls received, sms received and the option to directly send an sms back/call someone on the fly. I also like the fact that the user is able to quick delete all running background apps on multitasking menu by simply clicking one button. Good thinking! :good:
Thanks for the heads up.

Maps and Google Search can be greenified by converting it user apk using Titanium or by uninstalling them and reinstalling from Playstore.I didn't try to greenify Playstore as it may become harmful sometimes considering the unpredictable nature of it.But I think it won't run in background all the time if we get out of it after it's use by long pressing the back button if this button has assigned 'kill apk function'.
And waiting for your report on MMS after your test in convenience,
with thanks....

Ok man. Thanks. I´ve used Titanium to convert Maps and Google Search to user apps and it works wonders Play Store does not work, whenever you go to update an app, Play Store crashes and never launches again, with an error. It must be a system app I believe - when coverted back all went ok. On the first launch Greenify seemed to ocuppy lots of ram on my phone, making it sluggish, but after a reboot all started to go well It seems a pretty nice app indeed.
Relating the mms option, I do not use it a lot, but when I get my operator monthly feed on the phone again (low on cash at the moment ) will try to send one an see how it goes. Will report back here.
Take care man.
