EMUI 3.0 was just released few days ago, unfortunately only for China variant.
It is now under Beta version, receiving feedback from tester.
Already installed on my HAM 2 MT-L05, quite a large changes in user interface. and have the Android L navigation bar.

Does anyone know what the differences are between the China device and the US device? Processor, ram etc

Processor/GPU is completely different hi silicon kirin v qualcomm snapdragon. Completely different LTE bands. Same amount of ram. Same screen. Data partition is emulated on MT2-L05, but this may have come about when we installed the kitkat update.
Hmmmmm so then a port might not be impossible. I run an S5 port on a Note 3 completely functional. I'll have to ask around and see what some devs think
what about the other ones. mt2-c00.mt2-l01.mt2-l02
the otther china variant have the update as well

So this is just purely cosmetic? Doesn't seem like it's worth the effort since I would have to uninstall TWRP and reinstall my stock recovery, right?

HAM2 ...
I have just rooted a newly purchased HAM2 and completed the root using towelroot. Have been trying unsuccessfully to upgrade the EMUI to 3.0, so I decided to look around and discovered that I need to first update to EMUI 2.3. Does anyone have a full working version of this update??

EMUI 2.3 is only available for the Chinese variants of Mate 2, It's installed alongside KitKat 4.4.2
Emui 2.3 and EMUI 3.0 are currently unavailable for Mate 2 US version.
The EMUI 3.0 update is not an entirely cosmetic makeover as it does add a few new features to the phone.

Yeah, the only way we are getting 3.0 and KK is if someone can port the Chinese ROM and UI over and make the necessary changes so that everything on our devices works.

Well, I guess I have to just put a custom ROM on this bad boy and tough it out until I get this one+one!!!
If u can find one...
Suddenly i am so glad that i got the china version...
So far pretty please with the new ui. But I realise the camera shutter is very very slow.. Almost unusable.. The stock messaging app is a little confusing. And, I can't figure out how to change to another launcher... Anyone have any idea?
I am on b603. Received an ota to upgrade to b606 worth 140mb. Anyone have any idea what it's about?
Uodate: well I did the updating. Nothing seems to have changed. But the root did survive.

Hi. I had the same problem on b606. Nothing would stick as a launcher as Huawei Home always overrides everything.
I got around this by installing nova launcher from playstore ( I'm sure any other launcher will work fine ).
Nova Launcher wouldn't stick as default launcher, Huawei Home always overrode it, so after making sure I had another launcher installed, I installed Rom toolbox pro and used the manage apps setting. I scrolled down to Huawei home, tapped on it and selected "FREEZE". As soon as you do this, the option to set Nova as default launcher appeared and has worked perfectly ever since.
Like I said, you can use any other launcher, just make sure you have it installed before you freeze "Huawei Home"
On a side note, I also had to re-root the rom after installation as root had gone, and I also had to perform the delete "set_immutable_list" hack to get Full root back.
( Bear in mind, I had TWRP installed on my MT2-L05 so the initial b603 OTA update wouldn't install for me, I had to download the full 1.23gb rom from Huawei Website and do a completely new flash from scratch, so this is why I probably lost root )
I also just checked the camera, the shutter speed is ninja fast for me .

Did you have to revert to the stock recovery before you were able to install the update? Wondering if there's a way to apply the update while still using TWRP.
No mate. I didn't bother. I just downloaded the full b603rom from the Huawei website, extracted the "dload" folder to my external sd card, powered down phone, held in VOL UP+VOL DOWN and then held in the POWER on and it just fastflashed the rom over the top of TWRP.
I then had an OTA for b606 which is about 140mb, I installed that and then rebooted.
I just booted into recovery out of curiosity, and now have an EMUI logo recovery with 3 options :
Reboot System Now
Wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
At least now we finally have full album artwork on lockscreen and media controls on lockscreen....looks pretty cool.
I have tried it with Spotify, N7 Player, Tunein Pro and Pocketcasts and they all display fullscreen artwork and media controls on lockscreen work for all of them.

The Lenovo Yoga Android Tablets 10"(b8000) and 8"(b6000) (aka Yoga Blade) seem to be the red headed step child around here.
I feel like I dropped the ball back in December when I started to try to get CyanogenMod on the b8000 and never finished.
Working with MTK processor was intimidating and demoralizing.
Things seem to have changed a tiny bit since I dropped out. There is a new Firmware update (http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/5045-rom-yoga-10-b8000-a422-000-072-140122-ww-wifi-ota/) and a TWRP recovery is available (http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/4517-...oga-tablet-b6000-wi-fi-и-3g-b8000-wi-fi-и-3g/).
There is no update to the kernel source (http://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/en-us/products/yoga_tablet_10?tabname=downloads).
Anyone gotten a custom ROM, especially CM, on the Yoga Blade?
I thought it would be easier to get CM10.1 (Android 4.2.2) up and running, since that is the official stock version.
Of course I'd be ecstatic to get CM11 running.
I'd like to make another attempt at this, but I do not think that I can do it alone.

Is it worth effort?
As this is an MT8389 Soc running @1.2Ghz is it really orth theeffort to do all this CWM/TWRP recoverystuff? Since most of LENOVO phones lower mid range like my A880 is running MT6582M (quadcore), but I am a LENOVO Pc user too. It will be interesting to see development of the YOGA 10 using MT8389 maybe upgrade to CM11 but how many device sout there is currently using MT8389 anymore since MT 6589/6593 is introduced.
there is no motivataion except for die hard YOGA Pad users.
Anyone tried this or has more info?

I am surprise to check that there is an update to Kitkat OS for my MTK CPU tablet last night, download and upgraded to 4.4.2 with half an hours.
I used CPU Z to confirm it is really Android Kitkat OS 4.4.2, sad thing is that some of my app is not working with 4.4.2 OS.
My root is gone and unable to use Framaroot to root my tablet now, still trying other tools to root.
So did anybody managed to root the tablet again after upgrading to 4.4.2?
I've got the update notification but still waiting to upgrade, wanna be sure to have root permissions again first!

Framaroot latest version 1.9.3 still fail to root for OS 4.4.2 but finally manage to did it via Chinese one click root application Vroot
http://www.mgyun.com/en/getvroot
This root tool is very easy to use.
It is different from all other root method which will install super user application on our android device but this root tool will install a Vroot application which include built in super user to manage root access.
You can uninstall your old super user app and it still working fine.

Here's more info about the vroot method incl step-by-step guide:
http://www.patchworkoftips.com/root-lenovo-yoga-8-android-kitkat/3727/
Personally I'm with the guy who wrote this (i.e. Chukwudi Emmanuel Udegbunam) and leave my fingers off Chinese software that gets (a) installed on my PC and (b) replaces the regular SU binaries with their own version (which apparently cannot be replaced)
Good thing is there DOES seem to exist a root exploit. Hopefully someone on XDA will be able to port it and enable regular SU.

I allowed the update hopeing Levono would have left in the multi user feature.. they deleted it.
I have been experiancing various bugs,, DO NOT ALLOW THE UPDATE!
I wish I could go back. no more root access so the multi user app will not work
biggest issue Pandora, Amazon Music; while streaming the feed will stop for a moment then the music speeds up then slows back down, this stopping happens constently I hate it.
NEED A CUSTOM ROM!!!

Upgraded & rooted
Hi,
upgraded my Yoga a few days ago and rooted with Vroot from a virtual machine (disconnected from the net and ready to restore a snapshot ). After that installed SuperSU again, removed the Chinese installations from Vroot and being happy now with a rooted KK-Yoga. :victory:
MultiUser can (according to a little search) be activated after rooting.
Found no bugs in the new rom but I am not using Pandora or Amazon Music.

I just setup the flash tool and flashed the latest 4.4.2 rom from the russian website over my rooted 4.2.2 so far its working fine.
Had one issue where it would turn the screen off.. So it would time out and the screen would go off and the power button would wake it.. But not let it sleep. And holding it wouldn't bring up the power menu. Or even force restart.. But I used the schedule power off feature to get the tablet to shut off.. After I turned it back on it works fine.
Also one note. If you are on 4.2.2 and you rooted it and you deleted system apps. And you can't get the ota update to finish in recovery.. You don't need to flash back to stock 4.2.2 you can instead flash 4.4.2 ROM from the Russian website right over top.. Only problem is it goes to setup in Chinese if you can get through it you can change the language back to english

There is many Chinese root tool which is able to root our Yoga tablet with KitKat.
My advise is to unroot your tablet before apply the KitKat 4.4.2 update from Lenovo.
Two of us report same issue of unable to root with the latest update of KitKat 4.4.2 released last week by Lenovo to fixed the bug issue of the first release of KitKat.
We had to flash back the original KitKat 4.4.2 ROM to root again.

You can even try the Kinguser APK method to root your Yoga Kitkat 4.4.2

i currently use metro pcs . i would like to buy a good phone.
ive been considering the samsung j7 but the specs on the honor 5x look better.
ive been reading up and it looks like it accepts the metro pcs sims.
according to various reviews, the main issue with the honor 5x is the android interface.
i would like to know which is the best way to get a stock android rom while keeping the phone functional. ??
would installing a stock android be alot better than the current interface the phone comes with ? { is it worth it }
also .. can i play games like hitman sniper on the honor 5x ??
Got Modacco rom no problems or lags i camera from almost stock android
i just bought the phone from new egg, now im looking for a tutorial that shows how to change to a custom rom.
also... instead of custom rom, will i be able to increase performance by using another launcher instead of emui ??
or
am i better off installing a custom rom for maximum performance ?

Nova Launcher is considerably better than the stock EMUI launcher, though I'm not sure that would increase performance... If a faster phone's what you're looking for, then flash a custom ROM, preferrably one that's debloated and as close to AOSP (stock) as possible, so you don't have Huawei's apps slowing down your device. I'm currently using EMUI and fine with it until fingerprint support comes to stock ROMs, but many people agree that customs are much better, faster and stable than EMUI.
Since you didn't specify wether it's your first time flashing a ROM or doing advanced stuff, I'll advise you to read up carefully and thoroughly about what you're getting into - step-by-step guides are nice, but knowing what you're actually doing will most definitely come in handy in the future!
ive flashed a couple of tablets and phones.
theres two so far im willing to try , cm12 and modaco
ive been doing some research and I have some questions....
1- with cm12 does every thing work fine ? ex. fingerprint hdr etc..

Hey. I have the honor 5x too. I installed a rom called resurrection remix os.
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/rom-resurrection-remix-os-t3386555)
It is a really solid ROM and increases your performance greatly. It is based on cm 13. Everything works and is stable (on my phone at least). The only thing that doesn't work is the FP scanner. I only tried this ROM so I don't know how the other ROMs for this device perform. So far this has been a really stable option for me. Try it if you want.
Sent from my KIW-L21 using XDA-Developers mobile app
jimandroidnerd thncx for the input , i will try it first to see the best performance the honor 5x can give.
im mainly looking at "modaco" rom or the " rom-stock-b151-stock-rooted-deodexed-t3355130 " because they are either the stock or based on the stock rom.
also i want that fp scanner to work.
WAIT... i just noticed that modaco is only for the KIW-L21 ???
im getting a KIW-L24. what are my best options now with fp support??

Honestly, if you so desperately want FP support, stay on stock, or debloated which would be the most "custom" you'd get afaik. I'm also waiting for FP support so I know the feeling... There are some nice features in EMUI (that Themes customization app is a great thing honestly, I love it, for example) but I would like to run a custom ROM someday. We'll have to wait for the security base release I guess...
ima put in a stock.debloated.root rom and call it a wrap.
if im unsatisfied with the performance ill try resurrection remix os
and just not use the fingerprint.
im getting a KIW-L24 { as mentioned in post #8}
modaco is only for KIW-L21 { as far as i know }
i want a debloated rom that is stable , no glitches .
all reviews i read so far for this phone are positive,
except the emui interface and the preloaded bloatware .
i know im buying a budget phone , but i want it to work as smooth it possibly can

My bad, I missed the conjunction "or" in your sentence : "im mainly looking at "modaco" rom or the " rom-stock-b151-stock-rooted-deodexed-t3355130 ""...
But nobody than you can say what is a bloatware or not so even though Clsa's rom is good better create your own ROM removing what YOU consider as bloatwares.
Since Xposed framework v83 you can also install it by yourself without the need of a deodex firmware : you just have to consider the pros & cons of "deodex vs odex firmwares". Actual working version of Xposed framework for the Honor 5x is v85.
The other problem except EMUI is the lack of OTG feature as default and some other few stuffs...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, you actually CAN tell what is bloatware and what isn't, the only difference would be wether you find a particular app useful enough to not consider it a bother on the system...
There's basically no theoretical downside to deodexed ROMs or files, apart from boot time if you wipe dalvik. A question: is Xposed v85 a flashable .zip like normal Xposed? I read somewhere on here that you had to modify system files to do that, but I'f be very happy to know that the Honor 5X now has proper and easy Xposed installation available.
Arobase40 said:
Well I won't argue on what is bloatware or not as this is mainly personal to one another and I won't argue either against deodex vs odex ROM as as I said we now have the choice between apps customizations and ROM performance...
What only matter is your question : you can flash any Xposed Framework zip file with TWRP, but since v83 till v85 you can flash them whether you have deodex or odex firmware and the only change you have to do is to modify the build.prop file.
I actually have Xposed Framework v85 on my odex firmware and it works pretty well.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So by flashing v85, I still have to change the build.prop file? Is there any guide on doing this? Honestly I'd rather wait for v86 if it means not having to edit system files, but if it's unavoidable, then I guess it can't be helped...
just got the phone yesterday. after i deleted some apps and changed emui to "google now launcher"
it seems to run fine. ill give it a week before i start changing the rom
Arobase40 said:
I don't think a v86 would be of any help, just a new Xposed framework installer app...
Otherwise you simply need a root explorer (or kind of same app with root rights).
If you don't want to do the changes directly into your system, you can copy the build.prop file to your Sd Card (keep an unmodified copy somewhere just in case), and do the changes from there with a notepad or such. Then copy the modified build.prop back to the system folder keeping the same permissions and reboot... That's it !
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm actually reluctant to modify system files if at all possible not to do so since I almost bricked my 5X doing just that (well, kind of, stupid mistake but still...). I'm missing the easy Xposed framework installer honestly. I really hope someone creates an installer for this, or a single flashable zip that also modifies build.prop...
I also just got the device yesterday. Was surprised it allowed me to delete the bloatware on it! I guess they were nice and did not install them on the system partition.
ALso interested in any performance tweaks. Like the phone and os in general but with "budget" processor it would be good to have it running as light on resources as possible.

For performance there are custom, stock or debloated ROMs, and in case you're looking for something in addition to EMUI in order to make it faster I recommend you the apps "L Speed", "Greenify" (guessing you already know this one), and "Kernel Adiutor" if you're into kernel tweaking. Putting your cores on Performance governor should speed the device like hell, at the cost of battery life, but you can tweak it to a smaller degree and find your balance.

Wrote a post on the thread that was ignored, lol. It says on the FAQ that there can be problems with Huawei/Xiaomi as they are chinese manufacturers and do things differently to, say, Motorola, so I'm guessing I won't get a reply no matter how loud I cry out.

But I was polite though... I think. It's probably got more to do with the fact that it's the general Xposed thread so your message gets buried behind bug reports and other questions, I guess. I was searching for other ways of contacting the dev but desisted upon finding that in the FAQ.
Hi, all!
This is my very first post. Not even sure if there's a solution to this, tried searching but probably my keywords didn't exactly hit it.
I have a Huawei P9 Lite. I just received the OTA update for Nougat Beta with build number VNS-L31C636B331. My previous build was VNS-L31C636B170. I received the OTA update after I registered to become a beta tester. The installation was successful, things went running smoothly until I noticed my VPN app was closing when my phone is locked (even when I had it set to run after screen-lock). It got so annoying until I decided to reformat my phone. Things are running fine again, but some system or stock Huawei apps are missing, like calendar, clock, and calculator, to name a few.
Is there a way to download and reinstall these apps? And if so, are the downloadable apps already designed for Nougat on Huawei? Or are they from Marshmallow?
If there is no way to download stock apps, can I ask help to downgrade to Marshmallow? I'm planning to downgrade, and then tick back the Nougat update again from settings.
Thank you so much, guys!

You posted in the wrong subarea (Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting)
Try your luck here: Huawei P9 Lite - XDA
I own a Xperia Z5C when there is a stock app missing on modded stock-roms i can download them by playstore.
1) How can a custom ROM like RR be as good as the official ROM? - I mean RR works on all devices and they do not even manage to have the same official MIUI version on all phones. All the developer versions are the same version but have different MB sizes for every phone. That needs to have a reason...
2) I want to chance my harware buttons to start an app. I did it before on my Redmi Note 3 (Kate) with xposed. Worked like a charm. I even had OTA support with TWRP.
Now I tried it with the Remdi Note 4. I am on developer v. 7.4.27 - which means I have Android 7 thus, no xposed framework. I want to go back to a Android 6 MIUI version. Which one should I use? As soon as I update I'm screwed..?
Well, in the end I am kind of lost between these options:
1) Install latest stable version and wait (for an uncertain time) 'till TWRP works fine and get xposed
2) Go back to an earlier stable version and install TWRP and xposed - and never update until xposed for Android 7 is out
3) Switch to an older developer version which has Android 6 and install xposed - and never update until xposed for Android 7 is out
4) Just screw MIUI and switch to another ROM. Which one? RR sounds cool.. can I change my hardware buttons to start an app there? Can the custom ROM be better then the offical ROM? ...and I think RR is oon Andoid 7 which means again - no xposed :crying:

You can install AOSP Extended it much better then STOCK and yes u can also set any app to be launched from hardware button on that
Hit thank button if i helped
Hey, yeah I know I can install cusom ROMS. But I wanted to get some background information
edit:
Also this answer is too general. Doesn't flashing AOSP Extended mean I need to flash all the updates? Thus I need to login in all apps again etc... I also read the thread and there are some bluetooth issues with the ROM. I do not want to "maintain" my phone all the time. I am coding at work all day. I have a **** ton of things to do, nevertheless I love playing around with my phone if I have time, I do not NEED to spend time with "maintaining" my phone.
I therefore like to have it as simple as possible. I love the OTA updates. I even like the look and feel of MIUI.
Just want to tweak my phone
For now I flashed the MIUI v. 8.2 and just took the MM (Android 6) based version.
TWRP is running, SU, xposed. But I do not know what happens when I will update over OTA the next time....

According to me u should not go for custom roms because custom roms requires lot of maintenance
u should just root ur phone and tweak it as u want

Looks like the CN rom for the 6R finally got the Android 12 update. Who knows when the heck global is gonna get it. For the 6 and 6 pro the global rom didn't get android 12 until 9 months after the china rom lol. So I was wondering who wants to be the scapegoat and test it out for me? I can drop the link of the CN rom if you want. I specifically want to know how performance(most important) and optimization of the rom is with heavy games like Genshin etc.
Hello, just updated to CN Android 12 from global. But I cannot really state anything as I had just bought the device and went straight for the update. Although coming from global A11 I can definitely say that it contains loads of bloatware specific to CN and have many apps utilizing nubia services but again are specific to CN. In relation to gaming performance I found it not lacking at all since I'm coming from SD845. But will test Apex tonight and put in my findings. Also, the Nubia keyboard sucks. It as annoying as it can be because of weird CN shortcuts mapped and the keyboard is way too slow in response unlike Gboard.
Regards,

Hello, can i get the link for the CN Version from Android 12 for the red Magic 6r . I want to Test this Version and will give you a feedback. At the Moment , my red magic 6r is unusable for Gaming since i have installed the latest official global rom v1.24, beceause the Touch Delay was high and the Touch screen does not detect small movements. I had also sent the phone to the service but they did not soved the problem.

I have found the Website to Download the latest CN Firmware Update. Now the Touch screen bug is solved and i can use the phone for Gaming again . Also the Google playstore was further available
Google apps are not available in CN for obvious reasons and are required to be downloaded separately but is fairly easy.

I know, but before i installed the CN Rom, a global rom with Google apps was installed. After the Update, the playstore and Google Apps was further available in CN Rom . I had make a factory reset, After that, the Google Apps are lost.
Its also possible to use the CN Rom v6.10 to make a downgrade. Before i installed the CN rom, the global rom v1.24 was installed. I tried before to make a downgrade from v1.24 to v1.17 but it was not possible. But its possible to downgrade from CN Rom to global V1.17
Reason: the global v1.24 has massive Touchscreen Probleme (he does not detect small movements)
Sorry for my english

Yeah I tried the CN rom once on a previous update months ago and I also had those same issues. I didn't like how many Chinese crapware was installed without a way to remove them and I absolutely hated the keyboard. What is it called Sugoi keyboard or whatever. After a ton of fiddling around I was able to get it to be in a QWERTY layout but I just gave up on it and installed Gboard. I'm thinking of moving to CN again just for the android 12 update but only if it gives a decent performance boost. Hence why I made the thread. Looking forward to your finding on the performance though

Good to hear. Back when I tried the CN rom way back, I also factory reset which removed google apps(since CN doesn't use google stuff) but I just found an apk for the playstore and all the other google apps I needed and it worked no problem. Are you still on the CN Rom 6.10 or did you downgrade back to a global rom? Can you tell me the gaming performance on the CN Rom. I'm curious if the android 12 and all those other game space improvements they did boosted performance.

I think the Performance is the same like Android 11. The phone gets hot on Android 11 and also on CN Android 12. I Play pubg at 90fps. On global v 1.17 i get a light throttling After 60 minutes of Gaming . On CN V6.10 (Android 12) i had not played this Long time, beceause my Focus was at the touchscreen reaction. But i think the phone throttles also on CN Android 12, beceause the phone gets very hot during gaming and without a fan it will destroy itself. The Gaming Center looks a Little bit different, but i have not invested enough time. Sorry At the moment i‘m back on global v1.17, beceause in my opinion the touchscreen works best on this version.
I use this phone also only for gaming, like a Gameboy. To make calls or write messages, i use a other phone. So I can nothing to tell about the battery life on CN Android 12.

Tried Apex Legends on full settings and turned every feature on. The game went pretty smooth with no FPS drops at all. But I just played like 2 matches and the phone wasn't hot as well. The charger was connected with powermode set as "Rise" and "Charge Separation" enabled. Had fun btw. Also, there's this new mascot which wasn't there before and looks kinda annoying instead of intriguing. The phone sometimes locks itself just after I've unlocked it with Fingerprint and needs to be unlocked again. Also, I had to manually adjust all Google apps notification settings and some other apps too because they won't share any notifications on lock screen. Disabled all the CN gunk or uninstalled if available. Gamespace has lots of good features and I admire all of them, don't know if they were present in the Global rom. And finally strangely I'm not able to delete or copy files to the Android folder. Which wasn't an issue on any of my previous unrooted phones.
Anyone here tried to root there phones? Or unlock there bootloader? Thank you
