Huawei Ideos S 7 ROM Update 2.1 Eclair to 2.2.2 Froyo (radio 2.6.32 to 2.6.32.9-ideos)

 Depending on my previously bought ROM and free RAM of 169 MB, I only lost 31 MB by the update from Eclair 2.1 to Froyo 2.2.2. But the android browser plays flash files (.swf) now and half of the memory apps need is installed on sd card (appstosd). Adobe Flash Player 11 is loaded smoothly in the background and videos need no buffering time. The name IDEOS appears on screen during the start-up for the duration of one minute - instead of the letters "Huawei S 7" bound to Android 2.1 as I had received the device. Several features of HTC's ROM's were being deleted during the implementation of the new one.

 Although the variety of available ROMs is getting widened, choosing one you like needn't be easy. I had downloaded the Indonesian full sized package, inspite of worrying about the reduction of RAM. Huawei Ideos s7 device automatically installs the right clock work module and radio definitions via the installation of the sd card - proposed you have added all the necessary data before. In Germany, Ideos S7 is sold with Android Eclair 2.1, fitted with the German and English system languages only. Its radio definition 2.6.32 instead of the usual one for Eclair, namely 2.6.29, won't matter, but Eclair itself does. Adobe Flash 10 for Android 2.1 devices required arm version 6, 7 or 9 once, but video playback featured a stressing long buffering time by this software configuration - distracting from watching the finally downloaded videos later.

 If you buy the device in Germany at the time, resetting the software to factory default will not re-install Froyo as sold by manufacturer Huawei Inc.. As I bought Ideos S7 here, the installed radio file was named "2.6.32" and the model no.: "Android 2.1".posted from Bloggeroid
