nearly total noob here.
I got a Huawei Valiant, rooted and with CWM flashed.
I have been compiling files to produce various ROMS; one ROM with only original Huawei apks, one with all the bloat stripped out, and one with all the elite cool hacking goodies.
While I am able to easily tweak my ROM on-device, I am unsure about how to take one of my back ups and make it a distributable ROM without any personal data.
I have tried to search, but to be honest this site doesnt seem to like my phone one bit.
Thanks in advance!
No responses???
I'm really wondering whats the point.
79 views. 3 are me. And no one who read is interested or helpful?
Oh well, I guess no one out there cares.
Update:
I think I can take a nandroid backup and morph it to a proper ROM release. Still trying to figure it out. IMG, tar, etc format issues.
Have one backup of non-user data that is Huawei branded 100%. Huawei apps plus AOSP apps.
Runs smooth.
Got another wannabe ROM, Tor integrated as system app. All data is proxied around the world. All ad networks disabled through Hosts. This 'ROM' also has a bit torrent client, RDP/VNC, WiFi Scanner/Diagnostics, and 4 browsers. Also has working tether and ROOT. Primarily for my job use.
The last wannabe 'ROM' I'm working on is a completely stripped ROM. Having problems getting all the Google gone.
I could desperately use knowledgable brains.
Please reply even if you can't help. It is a LOT of work, and it looks like no one else cares... and it is too damn hard to read hundreds of half-dead threads for help.

Good Stuff!!
Looking for Custom Rom for Huawei Valiant as well. Got it cheap from MetroPCS
Please keep us updated.
Well, after a hard drive crash and a few soft bricks... I think I'll start by posting individual steps for individual programs/installations...
As a brief example:
Windowed Apps on the Free
Be rooted (I used impactor by sauric)
Use Xposed framework from here.
Xhalofloatingwindows. Install it.
Here's how to set it up
Blah
Blah
And then install this app, holoshortcut. The open source one works great to make shortcuts to existing apps that run in windowed mode.
Make sure the apps are not running when you click the windowed icon, else the original full screen app loads (force stop Browser then click the new shortcut so it loads windowed)
Running the non windowed shortcut resets the app to children until you force stop it and run it from the new icon.
There's also blah blah to make a blah blah etc.
Interested in that infos?

I'm sorry I can't offer any help im just aNOOB myself and was inquiring for a custom ROM with a custom theme (pink) possibly, and came up on ur post, I have a little trouble understanding the whole process but I'm learning and even though I can't offer any assistance to you I think your work on this project is highly un-appreciated and over-looked. You deserve a response from someone knowledgeable and as dedicated ad yourself. I have a Huawei Valiant and I rooted with the same method was excited to install a custom ROM but as you noticed there isn't much to work with and unfortunately I'm not as educated in this area as you are. I hope u find some help and if so send some my way......thanks
How did you root your device? I just got my Valiant and need to root it to get all this bloat off, theme & mod it and get my audio back up to par with V4 A, which requires root.
* I just saw the answer posted above.....derp Impactor to gain root

Hello friends, I am Naveen Naushad, an indie Android developer from India. I developed this app for G3, with which you can change the Volume button launch apps when the phone is locked, that too without root access.
A user tested it on T-Mobile G4 and confirmed it is working correctly. You will be able to modify the Volume Up action to toggle flashlight, launch a different app (instead of QuickMemo+) or even open a custom launcher shortcut. Unfortunately Volume Down cannot be changed as LG hardcoded it to launch camera, starting from Lollipop. Most people are ok with that as they need to change QuickMemo+ only.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apptuners.keyplusapp
Requirements:
Stock LG ROM (or ROMS based on it)
QuickMemo installed and working properly
Not compatible with official flip case
Request:
If you like the app, please rate, review and +1 it at Google Play Store. That will increase the visibility of the app tremendously.

I am not rooted so I cannot extract the APK. Moreover there is a chance that the APK for G4 might be different from G3, so it is best you get it from a G4 user himself.
By the way, if you are running stock LG ROM, there is an app called Updater, from which you can install QuickMemo.

Hi guys.
I want to allocate SMS alerts tones (not ringtones) to specific contacts with my Honor 7: can I do this?
Samsung’s TouchWiz, has an option to add a message alert to contacts, i.e. “Add another field >message alert”. However, Emotion has no such option. The facility to add a specific message alert to a contact doesn't exist with EMUI.
If this can't be done via the OS can anyone recommend an app (other than Ringo which doesn't work) which can allow specific alerts/message tones to be allocated to individual contacts?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Sadly could not find such an option in EMUI. you can give RINGO a try. It is available in the play store and the free version will meet your needs.

Thanks, but as I mentioned I tried Ringo and it doesn't work with EMUI. Ringo requires the stock SMS alert to be silenced, so in fact I then get NO alerts at all: it's as if EMUI isn't aware of Ringo. I've used Ringo before with other Android devices and it's great, even the free version, but it doesn't function with EMUI.
I knew I was taking a gamble buying a lesser-known brand (were this an Samsung problem there'd be petabytes of online answers to this issue...). Shame, as I love the phone for many reasons - looks like I'll have to revert to Samsung if no-one can help. :crying:

I apologise for my mistake and someone will be able to help you for sure.
Another idea is to use some other messaging app like go message etc. They might have this option.

Thanks for your reply, however, I've tried Chomp SMS and Textra, with no luck (i.e. no option therein to allocate SMS alerts to individual contacts).
I can't believe I'm the only Honor 7 owner to feel this an an issue that Huawei needs to looks at...
But you mentioned "go message"? What's the formal name of this app please? I can't find it on the Play Store (only "Go SMS", an app that enables SMS's to be sent via PC)

Yeah, it was GO SMS but I checked it out along with other contact apps but it comes down to emui not assigning a custom notification tone for a contact... I am out of ideas, someone else might have a few for you...

I agree, Mike, this is a feature I had taken for granted with having used Samsungs. Very convenient and I wish it were possible with the 7x
Curious,did u ever find a workaround or are u back to using Samsung?
I am looking to buy a good tablet for family use. Not having multi account support is a deal breaker. I hope Huawei keeps this feature intact.
In case of the MediaPad M5 10.8 Pro I can tell you that it indeed supports MultiUser. I've successfully added my g-friend as a secondary user on my M5. Only drawback is, that in desktop mode it now is always showing notifications of the secondary user as well. Other than that all works as expected.

I wonder if Pro version is the only one that supports multi-user, while the standard version lacks it.
10.1" is too big for comfortable couch-use tough. Nonetheless, I will still look into it.
Thanks for your quick reply!
Mediapad M5 10.8 non-pro, supported multi user out of the box. Not sure about the 8" version though, hopefully someone can answer that for you.

That's good to hear! Really appreciate Huawei does not take away functionalities that are suppose to be available out of the box this time.
I once bought an M2 and it does not have multi-user support, which really disappoints me. After learning this lesson, I now learned to ask around before making big purchase.
Thanks for the info!

This is exactly what I wanted to know! Thanks, I now feel a lot more assured in buying M5.
Guys, I think you need to know this:
I bought M5 10.8 as well last week. Multi User Support is very important to us.
Yes this tablet offers multi-user support, but its crippled somehow. Lets say you add (to your main account which acts as Administrator) another user.
You will have 2 users overall:
1. Your main admin account, Mike
2. and the 2nd we just added, Monica
Everything works great as expected, yeah.
But lets say you reboot your Tablet and Monica wants to use it after reboot. Guess what, she can't!
Mike has to login first in order to switch to Monica. Whaaat?
Adding accounts is easy so I don't think I made a mistake here, but maybe I did. But this is the situation at the moment. This is unacceptable. So if I can't fix that, I'll have to return it.
If it isn't my mistake, who is to blame? Huawei or Google?
I know multi user worked correctly on our broken Lenovo Yoga tablet (Android 4 or 5).
Unfortunately M5 Lite 10.1 (BAH2-W19) has no Users menu... Looks like it needs voice module and contacts book

Mediapad T5 10 doesn't support multiple users, neither. It's a shame when Android supports that since ages ago.
In the meantime there seems to be an update available so that the MediaPad M5 now can handle multiple users, am I right? Is it still the case, that the owner has to log in at least once after a reboot?

Yes adding an account is an easy task, but switching between them is a gamer.
Switch to another account from the desktop.
Tab the user icon in the status bar (upper right corner) to get the user panel.
Use another account at login.
Use the power button to open the starting screen, and tab the user icon in the upper right corner to show all users.
Use another login account after reboot.
Cancel the login screen with the 'back' key, to get to the starting screen and select the user as above.

I realize appassistant app for mate 20/20 pro/20 x got new features which can turn the ui into fullscreen gaming selection windows, (saw the video where the person connect the Betop G1 Controller to the mate 20 and automatically appassistant pop up with new ui), and the best features where the user can mapping BT controller whichever games the wanted, without using 3rd party app.
Can someone share new appassistant experiance? since I dont have mate 20 phone.
another thing, could someone extract the appassistant apk, would try to install on my honor phone, or maybe someone can ported mate 20 appassistant for other huawei/honor phone, that would be great.

I have Appassistant 9.0.0.309 and it doesn't behave like in the video.
I believe there's a 9.0.0.311 too, but there might even be newer. Does anyone have the latest apk?
My mate 20 pro is connected to betop G1 but there is no floating window when i play games which means i cannot adjust a key mapping
Any solution?

Hi, If I dont understand wrong, you need the pop-up menu to re-map your buttons.
If you updated the Getop B1 controller firmware and you're on the last update of your APP ASSISTANT, when you open any game, you PRESS the bluetooth button ONCE on your gamepad and the remapping menu will open.
On lastest versions, the floating button to remap has been removed.
Hope it helps you!
PS: Just to know, does anyone tried to play with headphones? On mate 20 X is rlly difficult due the jack position on the phone...so i have to use it without it....someone tried an usb c headphones?
