• Description: CM7 port for the Huawei M835. Well, let's be honest, unless you're living under a rock, you probably know what Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread) is.

• koush - for his kickass recovery.
• CyanogenMod - should I say more? Thanks for the best ROM out for our Android devices.

umm, i think it didnt work for me, hope this helps...

PlayfulGod

yep sure does, I'll fix that n recompile.

migsz

is there anyway to know when everything will be working properly on it such as wifi and the force closes? and does web/sms/mms work?

dayoungoutlaw

yes guys should be fixed in a few

dayoungoutlaw

yes web sms mms work wifi also works and i think the fc is on market but not sure yet

CyberTails

Nice work, sad about the Status 7 error, but I'll be looking forward for the fixed version

PlayfulGod

its being tested now

JungleDH

I'm stuck on the Huawei Boot screen. not sure whats up....

nu2moding

now it loads n stays on the splash screen...
DAMN IT!!!

JungleDH

same here... I'm sure it will be fixed soon enough.

MatIzKool

So I just install CWM Ascend and download CM7 rom? Because I dont want to b stuck in the Hauwei boot logo loop thing for the 3rd time.

CyberTails

I'm sorry, but in my opinion (and testing) The only CWM I got to work without it rebooting or freezing on the Boot Logo (Mine's is Pinkie Pie, not the Huawei Logo) I had to use the Huawei U8150 Ideos Recovery mode

MatIzKool

So does the u8150 have the cm7 that works on hauwei m835 or is it the ascend cwm

JungleDH

I got it to work. What you have to do from CWM is flash the Huawei Ascend Recovery and install the CM7 from there. It works. But then it doesn't

As already said, Wifi doesn't work and the Market doesn't work. You get Random force closes and even when trying to text, you can't see what you are typing for some reason. not sure if you want to get into it at this point. But I am sure these will be fixed sooner or later.

crienn

I found a way to fix the market force closed issue. I used a downloaded googleapp.signed.zip that I used for nookcolor CM7nightlies. Market worked fine youtube ect.

Heres a copy http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36551520/gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip

Just flash it as you did with CM7 for m835 thru recovery.

Also I used Ultrajack recovery work fine for me.

PlayfulGod

So the issue is with the new gapps?

Gapps link on wiki has be edited back to 0613 gapps.

JungleDH

Anybody know how to add Metro APN. made a big boo boo and now have no cellular connection...

PlayfulGod

all the apn does is the mms and maybe data stuff. If your phone isnt making calls, you really broked sumtin.

capfl2k5

Im gonna try to pick one up tomorrow. Is there a way to revert back to completely stock with fastboot if something gets really &!@#%@ up and it wont boot or go into recovery? I dont intend to use it as my regular phone but for 40 bucks used I cant pass up a new toy to play with and possibly break a few times in the process but a 40 dollar paperweight would make me sad also

PlayfulGod

Think I posted up a guide on my wiki on how to revert back to stock.

crienn

Im not sure never tried the latest gapps was kinda a last minute thing. Ill try the new gapp today see how that works.

Last edited by crienn; September 1st, 2011 at 05:11 AM. Reason: Just tried the new gapps would not let me update it keeps giving me an error install aborted. So Im guessing maybe lol

JungleDH

I flashed the wrong ROM. (Dronix) which works except the whole cellular thing LOL. Even if I flash another Rom the Dronix Load screen starts up instead of the Huawei Logo.

No idea what to do.

PlayfulGod

lol umm flash a rom for the m835 maybe

JungleDH

I can't seem to find any but the CM7 which didn't work as far as giving back cell service. I even tried a Ascend Rom which flashes to it but scaling is all wrong and even then, no cell service.

PlayfulGod

you may need to flash back to stock and reprogram by dialing *228 option 2 I believe.

JungleDH

when I dail *228, it says no mobile network available. At the lock screen it says No UIM. It thinks its a GSM ROM. When you look at the VPN settings it says Vodafone and all that. I know the VPN is just for Data and stuff but I deleted that xml and tried to replace it with Metro settings. That did nothing. Its looking pretty dim.
Anybody Got a Ascend for sale?

Tokenpoke

Lol.

Maybe.

JungleDH

The lesson is: Never sell your backup phone, and always make sure you know what you are Flashing.

nu2moding

ok still trying to install this rom- stuck at the, i guess boot animation now, BUT when installing, the progress bar stops at like 3/4 of full-that's not right, is it?

PlayfulGod

dl the back to stock file and restore to stock n start again

sound like you got a bad dl, re-dl and try again.

JungleDH

I have downloaded the stock but cant flash to it since i can't download CWM to get to the Ascend Recovery. UJ won't do it for some reason either.

PlayfulGod

the dload folder with a .app file in it?

with that file you dont need CWM or the stock recovery. Just place it on the sdcard and do the button combo and it does its think.

nu2moding

it installs all the way and i can reboot n stuff
, but when it's done installing the progress bar 's at like maybe 60-80% when CWM or even UJ say its done.
boots, but still stuck on those 3 funny lookin dudes n nothing-even after waiting like 30 min...

starxpilot

Hey PlayfulGod, I was finally given the 'goahead' to install a ROM on an M835.

Any "PlayfulMod" For this phone or is it Cyan only?

PlayfulGod

I have the the .img's I need to cook up something for it. Think thats what I may do tomorrow along with a few others things I been putting off.

JungleDH

Well as things will have it, I purchased an Ascend today and just flashed to CM7. And I would still love to know how to recovery my m835... I guess i will use it as a Guinea Pig for now. Thanks for everyone!

Still having trouble with Wifi...

CyberTails

Any Progress on the Wi-Fi Issue with CM7-M835

sKaTeR

need a wifi fix please!.. ..

pcwebiz

I hated this phone before I installed this ROM. My phone is as fast as anyone could expect given the processor speed. Thanks to this ROM I am content with the M835 for the moment.

Like everyone else I am expecting an update with a WiFi fix.

PlayfulGod

someone on the stock rom look in the about and tell me what the kernel version and name are plz.

crienn

Kernal version
2.6.32.9-perf
android@localhost #1

PlayfulGod

ummm
I may need to see if they release the kernel source lol

PlayfulGod

New build available, check OP for link to wiki and details.

Those who get/got the status 7 error, toggle off assert checks.

kingsolo00

CyberTails

Same here, using CWM 3.0.2.4 Ideos U8150
