I believe the statement about the build prop was for the OP.


I dragged the clockworkmod folder directly to the SD card, and had no issue restoring the backup. (I had already flashed the ICS Baseband)

Are you still having issues with the backup?

It's working, i pulled the files manually and it worked, thanks. Btw i think my 3G is is still stuck on 2G, is that the norm for this ROM?

Flashing the ics baseband messes with the 3g. That is a partial fix and, as of yet, there is not a full fix. Switching to another ROM, or stock, will not fix it.

I wish the op would update the post, and make that a bit more clear.

--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

YESSS, I was about to post about this. It's freaking AWESOME on our phone!
 
It's without a doubt the best keyboard I've used.

I won't go back to cm 7, because I can't use this keyboard.
 
Quick question, what's the baseband with this 3g fix?
Stock U8665, gingerbread is baseband 109808 and hypothetically re-installing the 109808 baseband should restore 3G to those who decide to go back to gingerbread.

Hypothetically it should, but in practice, it does not.
 
A sweet ROM just got sweeter...

I've overclocked this version of ICS, the file is uploading now, I will post with the link to the overclock kernel with instructions as soon as it finishes uploading.

:D

Stress testing now to see how high we can get it!!

alright we'll wait for the updates, thanks again.
 
****Worked out the bugs, here is the Overclock Kernel.


Overclock Kernel for this ICS ROM​

**This only works for this ROM, so if you use it for another, and you get stuck in a boot loop, that's not my fault.

You will need a program that allows you to adjust the CPU speed, I use SetCPU.

Do not go over 1152, 1190 makes the phone freeze instantly.

--If you did take it over 1152, pull the battery out for 5 seconds, and when the phone reboots, open SetCPU before its loaded into memory, and adjust the CPU speed down. You don't need to factory reset.

**I've included the Stock Kernel, so you can restore it if need be.

Instructions:

1. Download this file HERE.

2. Put your phone into Fastboot.
-Power down your phone, then hold the Power & Volume Down buttons for approximately 10 seconds.

3. Unzip the folder to anywhere.

4. Select the "RUN ME" that suits your needs.
-One is for OC Kernel install, and the other is Stock Kernel


Linux/Mac users:

-- To install Overclock Kernel:
fastboot flash boot oc_kernel_install.img

-- To restore Stock Kernel:
fastboot flash boot Stock_kernel_restore.img


I will probably upload a backup with it already overclocked later tonight.


Don't forget to click the "Thanks!" button if this has brought a pinch of joy to your day.

Well i've tried both the STOCK ICS rip here, CM7, and cyanogenmod 10. Hands down stock ICS. IT seems to run a bit smoother than CM7 (ask me again in a few days after it's app heavy ;) loving the bluetooth working over CM7, loving the camera working over CM10. I'm sold on this distro until there's a camera fix for CM10. Xbox smart glass works ;) Kids love it. Many thanks guys n gals!
 
I gotta agree, the stock GB ROM at times it was very frustrating because there were so many bugs with the sensitivity of the touch screen (selecting the wrong icons on desktop, typing words on stock keyboard was a challenge at times). I like the CM 7.2 upgrade there were alot of features i liked on there, but the random reboots still prevented that from being a everyday ROM. This ICS ROM is definitely pieced together alot better, we'll see in a week if my phone rebooted for no reason. Otherwise great job Brumore! and thanks to other forum regulars for the other ROMs.
btw Is there going to be a stock JB ROM?
(just curious)
 
Hello,

I followed the steps as outlined here, but rebooted too soon, after I installed baseband but before I installed 3G-Modem and the Backup files. CWM 6 booted once for baseband installation, but no more.

Now, either vol + or - and power, stuck at ATT screen, computer doesn't detect USB. Pink screen loads Huawei modem drivers, but neither ADB nor fastboot see the phone.

Must I say farewell to my Fusion 2?

Regards

It seems you need to unbrick your phone, it is a last resort, but the method has been successful twice now.

As long as you can access the Pink Screen your phone is still salvageable... I will PM you with the information you require.

Good post. It should be a bit more clear that step 6:



Is only a partial fix, and does NOT restore 3G completely; Unless you've found a total fix?

Thanks for the post.

I believe there is a 3G fix for this mod (downloading then installing the ROM now) here's the link to the file you'll need: https://mega.co.nz/#!OUk3VJiC!X3FRcDx3SErn5meVHrKpQmwiVklyWE3hv7mclSW0SEw

and here's the link to the guide: androidbeing.com/q/full-3g-fix-after-ics-baseband-for-the-fusion-2.html

good luck. I will try after installing the ROM (download is painfully slow.)

I tried this one also and got it to load ok and got bluetooth but I still could not get data to work. The only thing I didn't do was the baseband because I'm already on ics baseband. I'd really like to get the stockplus-oc or the supremeUI working.

How legal is this? I am currently using this and I got a bit worried when I read the EULA, mainly because that makes it look like the Huawei software was pirated. Great ROM though.

I believe I saw Cameron581 say somewhere that android is open source so modifying ROMs and making custom ROMs is legal. I could be wrong though.

But what I was thinking was it may include proprietary drivers because it is Huawei. It is not an issue for me anymore anyway though, as I switched to CM 10 a couple days ago.
 
Has anyone else had problems with notifications on this ROM? sometimes I don't get them at all and sometimes I get them an hour late.
