1- what's the difference between the chinese and the international version ?
Google and not chinese/Huawei apps.
2- is it easy to flash the international rom ?
As easy as flashing other roms.
3- is it easy to root ?
Depends on your experience and ability, read the rooting threads.
4- i've seen many about the notification issue .. will it be solved if the i flashed the international rom or not ?
No. Doze settings can sometimes.
5- what apps have this issue ? ( SMS , whatsapp ,FB etc...)
No specific apps.
If you want more specific answers read the forum, if you dont understand post on THOSE threads instead.

and also google+ or some other apps will not work - they crash after opening. any solution?
thanks
Hi see my response on another thread.
It took a bit of effort but managed to get Gmail, playstore, maps, YouTube, etc . working. Only thing I'm having problems with is voice search.
Good luck!

The links are based on the assumption that one has custom recovery or Clockworkmod recovery. If you have it, you just need to put the zip file in your SDcard after renaming it update.zip. Then, boot to recovery and update from sdcard. I tried one of the ROMS, one that mimics Samsung sIII, and it is okay. But there are no virtual keys. The volume keys and power keys are converted and applications are used for volume and reboot. The ROM is multilingual and has google market. The FM radio is not working, at least, for me. And there is no FM transmitter application. I had to change back to official ROM. All the same, it is a good ROM.
Is there any way to change /Data to the internal sdcard? The internal sdcard is useless for me because I use external one.

wait ... let me figure out how to flash because i also cant understand chinese i just bought this phone
from china and my fren help me to flash to ROW rom ....
Read this manual, also applies to S880
And BTW: a newer S880_ROW_S108_120906_USER.rar is out
Warning though: If you flash a factory ROW, you loose any ROOT that your vendor may have put on for you. I propose when you flash, you *skip* the recovery, so it keeps the recovery your vendor has put on for you.

Download this http://forum.frandroid.com/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_id=17527, and copy the needed files to system/etc
Although GPS is really **** at this phone
You will not find right rom. I had found one in chinese forum, but screen didn't work right. I sent it back to shop for refund
I found a semi-custom rom in the italian forum but gps isn't working any better.

Google on whether your bootloader can be unlocked. Unlock it. Use fast boot to flsh kernel. And use cwm to flash cm zip file. I know it's not noob friendly but I think the cyanogen mod wiki explained it in great detail so I needn't repeat it
Press the "thanks", button if I helped you.

Hey guys,my local phone shop in europe gave me a free huawei y330.I had much weaker phones and they worked good with stock rooms and even better with cyonagen and etc...the problem is the stock room on this plastic makes me wanna cry-there is no app menu,everything goes to desktop and I can't uninstal ****,70%of Ram is used by the system and it lags...I googled for 2 hours and I can't find how can I instal a custom ROM or ROOT or anything As far as I know there is no custom rom,but if I could root it and uninstall not needed apps maybe it would run smoother.Can anyone help me?
