Maybe since update 2.9.3936, I feel that WhatsApp is getting heavier and take a while to load from my Huawei U8100 Android Smartphone. And it's like it hang a while when I have a notification, and taking so long with dark display when I open the application.

Tips Upgrading ROM - Avoiding Error on Upgrading and Using Custom ROM

noreply@blogger.com (Andra Blackbone) — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 21:07:55 PDT

Tips Upgrading ROM - Avoiding Error on Upgrading and Using Custom ROM. Using a custom ROM with your Android Smartphone have many positive impact to your phone. For me, after using Custom ROM, upgrading from eclair to froyo and after that froyo to gingerbread, I can feel many different in this Custom ROM.

The latest ROM in this blog is Update 26 Gingerbread ROM by joiloroi.

Some change that Android user want most like battery lifetime usage, performance speed, and compatibility with Android Applications and games. And many ROM or I can say that is the main reason to use Custom ROM. The developer of each ROM also keep their ROM to satisfy their users.

But there is a time that we got error while or after upgrade the ROM. Maybe you familiar with the word "Force Close" on your Android. There maybe because the ROM bug or you don't install the ROM in the right way. This post will give you the best way to install ROM, or I can say My best way :D

Backup All your important data (Applications, Contact, etc)

It's very important to do a backup before do anything. I always backup all my Applications and contact before doing ROM upgrade. For Applications backup I' using Huawei Backup. Another applications is Titanium Backup.

Download ROM that Compatible with your Phone!!!

Find ROM that compatible with your Android Smartphone :D

Wipe All Data Before Install ROM

That's why backing up applications is very important. You can also upgrade ROM without wiping data, but the safest way if you don't want to getting "Force Close" or system reboot.

What to wipe:
~ Wipe Data/Factory Reset
~ Wipe Cache Partition
~ Wipe Dalvik Cache (Advance Option in recovery Mode)
~ Wipe Battery Stats (Advance Option in recovery Mode)
~ Format /boot (Important: Only do this if you still have problem after upgrade ROM, do this and repeat all the upgrade step. You can find this in "mount and storage" option in recovery mode.)

Install the ROM and do a clean reboot after the ROM installed

Do not install anything after you successfully installed the ROM. Reboot your phone right after you get the desktop. If you having problem in accessing the desktop after the second reboot, that's mean something not right. You need to wipe data again and reboot. If it still a problem, do Format /boot and re-install ROM.

Do not Install Applications at once

With Huawei Backup or Titanium Backup, you can restore all your applications at once. Don't do that! Just install 2 or 3 applications and reboot after it.

That's all!!!

Huawei U8120 Default USB Driver and PC Suite

noreply@blogger.com (Andra Blackbone) — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 14:18:15 PST

After Upgrading your Phone to gingerbread ROM, you will see your phone model is change to Huawei U8120. That is of course makes you happy, but try to connect it with your computer. It will ask you for Huawei U8120 Driver too. And maybe you will try to find it on CD Drive that usually installed automatically, but there is only a removable drive that can not be access. When you try to access it with the option on the phone, you will only see files from your MicroSD card.

Well, that is my experience :D. Using the Android File Manager to find the driver on the phone storage, still no luck for me. The driver is needed to use with PC Suite or to connect using ADB shell like when you install ClockworkMod recovery to your phone.

You can read here MyPhoneExplorer 1.8.2: PC Suite For Android Huawei U8100/U8120 if you want to download the driver from Huawei Official Sites that work with Huawei U8120 Android Smartphone or continue reading this article to use the default driver and PC Suite from Huawei U8120 phone.

This Huawei U8120 Default USB Driver and PC Suite was extracted from original Huawei U8120 phone with the same trick like my previous post Default Huawei U8100 USB Driver and PC Suite. This file is in .ISO format, so you need a software to mount the ISO file or extract it like Daemon Tools.

Default Huawei U8100 USB Driver and PC Suite

noreply@blogger.com (Andra Blackbone) — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 13:31:46 PST

Default Huawei U8100 USB Driver and PC Suite is very useful for you who lost the driver when upgrade ROM. This driver and PC Suite is from my Android Huawei U8100 Phone. I did backup before doing anything to my phone just in case I have a problem and can not access it with my phone.

This Huawei U8100 USB Driver and PC Suite is taken from the phone storage. When you plug the USB cable from your computer to your phone, you will find this driver and PC Suite in a new CD Drive on your computer.

This driver also used if we want to install ClockworkMod recovery to a computer that have install this driver before. It won't be necessary if your phone storage can be read and access from the computer. But it will be very important if your computer cannot access the phone storage and you have to install the driver from outside the phone.

MyPhoneExplorer 1.8.2 maybe the only free PC Suite that work with Huawei U8100 that have been upgraded. I have try several PC Suite like the famous 91 PC Suite, MOBILedit!, Default PC Suite for U8120, and none of it work until I use MyPhoneExplorer 1.8.2.

The main reason that I want to use PC Suite is because I want to be able to send SMS messages while I'm on PC. MyPhoneExplorer 1.8.2 of course have that ability, it's also can be use for file transfer without unmounting the SDCard, Import or Export contact, save sms messages, access calender, create event, note, etc.

It's also can have the snapshot of our phone in real time. The menu is available on "Extras". With MyPhoneExplorer 1.8.2 you can manage your phone easily.

To be able to connect your phone with MyPhoneExplorer 1.8.2, you need to install Huawei Android Handset USB Driver v1.1 first if you have upgrade your phone to gingerbread or froyo.

Download Youtube Video on Android Phone

noreply@blogger.com (Andra Blackbone) — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 00:21:35 PST

Want to Download videos from Youtube to your Android Phone? Yes, you can do that! There are many applications that have ability to download videos from Youtube. The most famous application is TubeMate Youtube Downloader. But don't expect it to be available on market. You have to download the apk file here and install it manually.

In this post, we don't use TubeMate Youtube Downloader. We use Youtube Cache for download! Youtube Cache is an application not to download but to make Youtube videos can be play offline. But, with a little trick we can save the offline video to our phone and play it with our favorite video player (even without flv player).

First, you need to install Youtube Cache to your phone. And if you lucky, you can find it on market or just download the apk file here and install it manually.

Second, open Youtube Cache and search the video you would like to download. tap "cache" and wait until it finish downloading. You can choose "run in background" if you want to do anything else or search another video and watch it. See this image below:

If you want to see the download progress, simply tap "video" besides "search" tab. In this tab, you can pause the download progress, playing the downloaded video or delete the video.

And there also "setting" tab to determine the quality of the video you will download (I'm using "medium"). All downloaded video can be played offline, so make sure it's "done" or compare the progress with the video size (sometimes it's still says "pause" while the download already "done", so just compare the size).

Next step is to save the downloaded video, so you can play it with your favorite video player permanently. All the downloaded videos are saved in "youtubecache" folder in your MicroSD. The trick is to copy the video to your video folder and rename the file to "something.mp4" (That's what I'm doing, haven't try another extension). And you are done! Now your video player can play it. Don't forget to delete the video that you have copy from Youtube Cache "video" tab by "long press" the video and choose delete.

This is my trick to use MP3 as a ringtone on my Huawei U8100 Android Smartphone. When first time I'm using Android Smartphone, I think there is no way to use Mp3 as a ringtone because there is no choice in Mp3 file to use it neither in Sound setting to browse file as ringtone.

Maybe there is more easy way to do this, but like I say this is my trick and didn't use a special applications to do this. All you need is installing Winamp on your android smartphone. You can find Winamp on market or download apk file and manually install it here.

After installing Winamp, play your Mp3 you want to set as ringtone.

In this example I use the song from "Simple Plan - Shut Up" as my ringtone. Just play it with winamp and click menu on your phone, then choose "Set as ringtone" that's all.
