What do you mean?

We have a Jellybean ROM(CyanogenMod 10) that runs smoother than ICS. Posted at Fusion2.org

Please explain further, I require more detailed info to troubleshoot your problem?

We also have the baseband fix you're speaking of here, and have had several people flash it.

Only partial 3G has returned; they do not get 3G in all the places they had gotten it previously.

So this only a partial fix, and 3G is not completely restored.


This information should be available to them, before they flash the ICS baseband.

Why not post CyanogenMod 10 for Fusion 2 on this forum? And are you knocking down another’s contribution, ye is not humble?

Mobile telecommunications coverage varies based on location. You can try updating the apns-conf.xml.http://www.solidfiles.com/d/d8a5506c1d/

I wouldn't do that. I was just explaining why Radiance said:
To sacrifice butter or not to? That is the question. :egg:

Cool I will check it out. Thank you.

I just did. We had a bit of trouble, and I spent the last few days getting the guides back up on the other site.



-I didn't mean to come off as rude. Forgive me if it seemed like that.

Additional removable bloat:

Browser.apk
Calculator.apk
DeskClock.apk
Email.apk
FrenchPack.apk
GMS_Maps.apk
GermanPack.apk
HwBeyondTheSkyTheme_Small.apk
HwDawnTheme_small.apk
ItalianPack.apk
LiveWallpapers.apk
MediaCenter.apk
NotePad.apk

EDIT: You can also take out the 2D Unlock (PotterUnlock.apk) and get the pure ICS lock screen.

EDIT 2: You can remove the CD drivers by going into recovery, mounting /system and then going into shell and typing these commands:

[HIGH]cd system
rm -r cdrom[/HIGH]

Did you place the backup file in /clockworkmod/backup/ ?

Did you place the backup file in /clockworkmod/backup/ ?

do I have to manually put that backup file in the right directory, e.g. when I do backup restore at CWM, or should that file should be already in there when I unzip the file (I looked on my comp and there's files in the Android_4.0.3 ) but when I tried to do it in CWM it says the file is empty. Should I try to put it on the SD card again?

Sorry for my previous post, I had not downloaded the file yet.

I downloaded the file, and saw that the file was already placed in the clockworkmod folder, so I'm not sure why you're not able to use the file to restore the ICS backup.

As for it being in German, Android should auto-detect your language, and switch the language to that.


You should indeed try to put the files on the SD card again, maybe something went wrong when it was copying the files.

Nice, another rom! Thanks! I need to think about it (my 3G is already pretty limited since I have to use refarmed T-Mobile 3G towers).

The other ICS rom is a CM9 rom. Is this a port of the Huawei ICS rom? What was the base phone this was ported from?

While a minimal installation would be nice, I think keeping the basics is more beneficial. Some people may need email.apk (I know I do!) and some of the others. It's easy enough to delete uneeded apks.

You're welcome. This is not a port. It is the Huawei stock version of ICS 4.0.3 from the Ascend Y201 Pro.

Although some of the bloatware was removed, apps such as email, file manager, fm radio, etc. (Images in first post) remain and may be uninstalled at the user’s discretion.

I always delete APKs as I'd rather have fresh ones from the market. I'm just weird like that. I also use alternatives to everything. Removing the stuff that isn't used seems to help a lot with RAM issues too.

As for the ROM itself, it's great. Very stable.

I tried opening the file when the phone is plugged in USB storage mode and I verified the file is on the SD card, but when it goes in the CWM, the files don't appear.

Anyone got any ideas?

I was having issues with my SD card, so I didn't get a chance to put this on my phone.

Finally got another SD and was able to restore this backup, and I must say, it is AWESOME!

Really stellar job!

--on a side note, if you want a sweet keyboard, with this version of android, you can sign up to test Fleksy, and the keyboard is equally as awesome.


Thanks again, I love this one. :D
