Hi!
Im just thinking about a own forum for Ideos X5. Its a great phone with really good specs for a low price. Its like the Zte blade but twice as good. It's also good for root because of the vanilla rom. So what do you people think?(Hope you understand, im not from a english speaking country)

I completely second this. I'm getting mine this week and I'd love it if the phone had some xda support.
I know this phone is getting quite popular in the non american regions and might get more popular due to the amazing pricing.
Please give us a forum \o/
Yes! Would love a forum. Getting mine soon, looks amazing for the price.
Can't wait for some rom love - Time to replace my mytouch 3g. If this phone came out in the US I think we would be seeing a lot more dev support for it.
Yeah Its a amazing phone for an amazing price If it just come out some good roots and it would be more awesome
Yes! We need a Forum for it!
My friend just bought one of these and it looks pretty sweet, especially for the low price. hopefully it gets a forum and some attention from XDA Devs
These are great value in Australia really cheap. $299 outright from Crazy Johns. Will probably pick one up soon. Really want a gingerbread ROM for it though, please create a section.
Yes, would like to see a forum for it too - it's quite a bit cheaper than equivalent phones.
Yes, forum please.
I bought one yesterday, here in Western Australia.
Been using it for several hours now total and so far have NOT been able to find any menu items for wi-fi tethering.
This post is coming using USB Tethering which worked right out of the box. Tethered to an Asus EEE 701 Netbook running Ubuntu Linux 10.04.
So, if I can't find wi-fi tethering menu item, I'll need to get root access and install barnacle again.
Compared to my Sony Ericsson X8, that I've had since late last year, it's blindingly fast! The big screen is nice too!
So yes, I'm all in favour of a dedicated forum ... I reckon that the Ideos X5 is going to be a big seller, at least here in Australia where I paid $349 for an unlocked, unbranded (vanilla rom) with version 2.2.1 rom.

Wait I thought x5 wasn't out yet....or is that just in America?

I got one last week and it is a great phone
I agree, this phone definitely needs its own forum. I got an Ideos X5 or u8800 a few days ago and it is just awesome. This is my first 'real' smartphone as I just upgraded from an n73 haha. I'm really excited about getting a 2.3 rom (and SetCPU ) onto my phone and I would be glad to contribute in any way I can.
There is another thread requesting the same thing (U8800 = X5)
that is, forum plx :]
Own section for Huawei U8800? ( 1 2 3)

+1 for own forum section.
I've had this phone a few weeks, I like it so far. Some minor things that I'd like to try to change, but I've been waiting for CM recovery before that. I mailed the ROM Manager creator if I could help him on March 8th, but no reply yet.
Edit: Looks like there's a guide on how to port the CM recovery for new devices: google "porting-clockwork-recovery-to-new.html". I think I might try this some day if someone else doesn't port it before that

Hope you get an answer Would be awesome if you tried it out and then post here how it worked
That U8800 thread has much more in the way of tips and useful info. While we wait for a forum dedicated to our Ideos X5 / U8800 phone, I suggest that we post any tips, info etc into THAT thread.
For example, I'll be copying my observation of the wifi tethering "gotcha" to that thread, now that I know it exists (thanks lyfkevin!).

Wow. I'm interested in this phone too ... since you already own one, does it run stock Android?
Really think we need a forum for this phone!
I'm not sure of your definition of "stock Android", Jubei71 but when I said "vanilla rom" I meant that it has a standard version of Android without phone carrier branding, shortcuts etc. For example, when it boots it just shows the Huawei logo.
It has "Swype" technology for the on-screen touch keyboard that I believe is a propriotory, non Google prodcut but I presume that Huawei simply pay for the rights to include it in this rom. And I found that I don't need to use Swype if I don't want too, "normal" hunt-and-peck key taps work just fine too.
I've installed plenty of stuff from the Google Market (Google and non Google) and it all works with no problems, although a You Tube link from one of my emails crashed the phone very soon after playback began. I had to power it down then re-start to regain control. I'm still checking but that email link may have been malicious or it may have been a "Adobe Flash 10" compatibility problem.
If my Ideos X5 proves to have unlocked Nand write and boot process (evidence so far suggests that it MAY be), I'll love it to death because then we'll be able to install our own "non-stock" , super-go-fast rom eventually!

Hi guys
I'm about to buy a flashed X5 for about 150€.
I have to say that im a complete noob (like the registration video told me ) in all these things and the x5 would be my first Android Phone ever, but nvertheless Im really excited about all this modding and flashing and whatever you people do with the phones. I just want to make sure the bought phone wont die within one week because of some mistakes the seller made while having fun eventually flashing it wrong.
Its said to be flashed with the MUI 2.3.7 and overclocked to 1,2GHz (is that secure for the processor?)
Also the description says it has "7 Launcher" installed - this actually doesnt tell me a single thing, could someone kindly explain what it is and what it does?
Thats all the information I got about the current state of the phone. Would you say that its a well-done combination, or is there some potential of the whole thing being nothing but a mess?
Many thanks to you!

That's a second hand phone? In Portugal, a new one costs 149€ :S
Well the seller says the phone has not been used at all, he just flashed it and put everything back
Anyways - could anyone help me out - should I buy the phone or does it all sounds too messed up already, what do you think
I would just check the price and spec of new phones in the same price bracket. This is an older phone now and I would not be surprised if you could pick it up for a similar price new with some looking.
That said, as long as it is all working, it should be ok. Price is similar to what I just paid for mine on a new years special. Launcher 7 will be gone when he wipes the phone data to sell it to you so you can choose to install it later if you want the windows phone 7 look.
I would just ask if it is still 2.6.32 kernel based (froyo rom) or if it has been upgraded to a 2.6.35 kernel base (official gingerbread). Either is fine, but it will just help you when it comes to installing roms later.
150€ is a normal price for a second handed phone here in Slovenia aswell. I might suggest, if you can get Samsung Galaxy S for that price, do it. I had Ideos X5 for 7 months, tried all ROMs I could find, but when I got my hands on Galaxy S, well...I switched to Galaxy S. The only major thing between them is that Ideos X5 has LED emitter. The battery seems to last longer on Galaxy S with stock ROM or custom in comparison with Ideos X5 stock and custom ROMs. Galaxy S has AMOLED display, which has a bit less DPI (it is 2mm longer, wider), but way better contrast with pictures/videos. In general it is smoother.
To answer your question, if the phone appears not to be damaged to you physically, you have nothing to worry about.
Hey all. I'm new to the forums and its been quite some time since i've owned an Android device. I've worked for Apple for a few years and recently decided to switch back to Android. At this point I'm re-familiarizing myself with the OS.
I used to be VERY involved with the "Jailbreak community" when I had my iOS device. And now I want to get to the same point I was regarding knowledge. First thing is to get this Note 3 "rooted" so I can do what I want with MY device.
Specs for my device:
Model number: SAMSUNG-SM-N900A
Baseband version: N900AUCUBMI9
At this point I really don't know what other information is needed to find what I need to make sure my "root" process is smooth. And yes, I have already searched the forum for both of those numbers above and found nothing. I guess the fact that it was released yesterday makes for nothing at this point. Please, anything would help my cause.
Thanks to everyone for your help in advance.
Can I use the ROM and Recovery mentioned in this forum for my A3300 Tablet. I just got it from China and I want to wipe off everything from it and install custom ROM. Can some one please help me with the same? The Tablet I have is A3300-T by Lenovo.
Same question

I'm new to Android (from the more user friendly iPhone garden) and have just gotten a Lenovo A3300-T tabletvia China as well.
After spending hours Googling and trying to make it useful I'm pretty much at a loss and ready to give up, but before I do, has anyone managed to either get Google Play to work on this model tablet or replace the firmware with something useful? (ie., that does have Googleplay included).
Cheers,
Mark @ NZ

If anyone ever figures this out I'd love to hear back. Pretty much given up on Android for now but using this POS as a basic book reader until I get an iPhone 6 plus from work.
Suprised at how low quality the screen is though, makes my ancient iPod Touch look positively modern :crying:
Hi there! Im a new user posting in the xda community but in the past I always came here to find fixes for my phones. This time I found some solutions but they did not solve my problem and I saw many people with the same problem here on xda and in other places. So, I decided to experiment and do "MY OWN FIX". After 3 days with my phone constantly crashing, turning off by itself, stuck in Galaxy Note 4 Powered By Android screen, and so on. I found that the problem could be the latest android update that Samsung threw in May (N910PVPS4DQE1). My phone is a Sprint version so the model is SM-N910P. I decided to install with Odin the previous STOCK ROM (N910PVPS4DQC1) from April. I did it, I flashed the previous ROM but to my surprise this did not solve my problem.
This has been the best phone that I've ever had. I do not want to lose it. I do not think it is a hardware problem because sometimes it will get past the Galaxy Note 4 Powered By Android screen and even get to home screen and use my phone "working perfectly" just for a few minutes.
ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED PLEASE!!!
