is the mate 2 lo3 worth getting? - Huawei Ascend Mate 2

compared to say the grand x max+? also which is most stable rom besides stock for lo3? thanks for replys

also to root i have unlock it?

Yes

I've had a lot of good phones. Original Note and LG G2 among the best. I still use my Mate 2 as a daily driver. Totally love it. It will be a sad day when it stops working.

Off the top of my head (which may be really outdated), spec-wise and price-wise, I think the Mate 2 is better than any other of its competitors. Again, I haven't been paying much attention lately, so I might be out of the loop quite badly. But for a nearly 4,000 mAh battery and, thanks to some amazing people on this forum, quite a few custom ROMs, I have absolutely no complaints. I'm not replacing this anytime soon. My previous phone was used for either 3 or 4 years.
Just be glad you weren't here from October 2014 to June 2015.

Lol true. Got my own cm ROM made. And working on compiling omni ROM. Shm has several ROMs for it. And cm has L and MM as well. Way better device with stock ROM replaced.

usps says my phone will come monday, YAY!

I've actually been using the stock ROM for the past month or so, maybe longer. Actually not that bad, I like EMUI. However, I am missing some features of custom ROMs, like swiping notifications on the lockscreen getting rid of them instead of opening them, and being able to change the DPI without everything breaking.
Also, Xposed apparently doesn't work on B322? I haven't tried it myself, but that does suck if true. I used several modules back on B128.
Edit: Does anyone know if there's a way to get the Huawei camera app on CyanogenMod? I think I'm gonna switch back, but the stock camera is garbage, and Google Camera has a weird preview issue in portrait (image is squashed, but turns out fine after it's captured).

Just hope something doesn't so wrong. I have one rebooting from Bluetooth being turned on and they won't replace it.

am i supposed to update the phone or anything before unlocking?

You need to be on B322
And if it is CC or wind. Unlock the carrier lock before flashing CM etc

Indeed! Only thing to note with Candy Six is that live wallpapers seem to be broken at the moment, and Clock consistently crashes every time I try to open it. That may or may not have something to do with the Layers theme I installed though.

Bought my G2

Bought my G2 at opening. First one at store to purchase . This is the bes t phone I've ever had. LG did an excellent job. The only reason I will have to root is to debloat. This is the smoothest and the ui is beautiful. If you were debating don't. I came from the HTC ONE , which was and is a great phone, but this blows me away. Battery so far kills the ONE, which was my only complaint with it
Sent from my VS980 4G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
So far I've had a similar experience.
I cannot wait for this to get root, that is my only complaint so far.
The double tap to unlock really makes this phone.
It is a nice phone, but the fact we may not see AOSP is making me reconsider it. I like having the most recent version of Android as well as the stock Android UI, much better than any theme out there. Even the notification shade on stock is so much better. Oh well, have 15 days to return it, if anything new and awesome about the Nexus 5 leaks I may return this.

What makes you think we wont see aosp? Yes it has a locked bootloader but someone usually finds a way. Just wondering if I missed something and we will be stuck like the gs4 guys.

There is no "fact" yet, barely anyone has really gotten their hands on it yet to even start attempting to unlock the bootloader.
We won't really have a good idea for a few more weeks probably.

Is it weird for me to say that this is the first time I've bought a new Android phone and didn't really care to change the OS at all, other than wanting to de-bloat it?
I ran CM on all my previous phones, and after using this for a day and all the features the stock OS has, I'm perfectly fine with it.
Maybe I'm getting old

Its better than samsung's touchwiz but I cant stick with it, the mms app notifications are much worse and the stock lcd density makes everything HUGE! I'm running 360 right now but some things like camera are funky.

I run Hyperdrive on both the S3 and S4 and that is mostly Touchwiz. I would be happy just to root this one. I don't need CM or the others for this phone.

This phone has enough tweaks that if I have to stay stock with it, I'm ok. Had the HTC One and liked Sense 5 but coming from a Gnex I really wanted vast improvement in battery live. Got that now and then some.

I am totally satisfied with this phone. Always having touchwiz in the past, this ui just kills it. Its been allowing time since I have been happy with a stock UI. already rooted and debloated and I'm happy. Only one gripe so far. Google play music is not sending Bluetooth metadata to my car. I can live with that.

Picked it up today, and love it! The UI is so much better than TW, I don't think I'll even throw a custom launcher on it this time.

I'm in the same boat pretty much. CM while the development team is amazing is overrated IMO. I have a Nexus 4 and I like AOSP, but I don't need anything but root so I clean up the stuff I don't want on the G2. Too many test builds too many bugs, I'm over it.
If I could get back the stock Android browser and UI I would be extremely happy, definitely nice as is though.
I just wonder if this is better than the Note 3. It looks like a great device tho. I had the Optimus G Pro but it felt clunky and the camera was not the greatest. But the screen was amazing!
I am easy to please. I never had issues with TW. I ran both cleanrom and bonestock. TW is fine. This UI is fine. Root and all that jazz is icing but really isn't a huge deal. It's all android to me.

First impression

Hey everyone,
I'm living in EU and 5x is coming in about 3-4 days. Prior to purchasing this device and seeing the actual price difference between the two I'd like to know what's your initial impression? I've heard that the EMUI is very heavy and slows down the phone (which I'm sure can be fixed by custom rom).
Cheers and enjoy/hate your new phone.
I've had it about 8 hours now and so far I can't find anything I don't like. This just replaced my Note 2 so about anything is an upgrade. I have no use for the dual sim card, but its cool that it there, plus you can have two sims and an SD card in it at the same time. Very pleased.
Edit: Oh and the battery is supposed to last more than a day with moderate use.
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ
I to have had it for the day. Just picked it up during lunch. So far I have noticed some lag here and there when going though apps like YouTube and the playstore. I plan on using this for a hotspot/tethering phone as well as my international travel phone so the dual sim was one of the factors in my purchase. So far though I like it a lot. The fingerprint scanner is fast and only didn't read my finger once out of the numerous times I unlocked my phone with it. I can't wait for the dev's to get the root so we can load better software.

I have used it for a week. Camera design is weird, convex too much on back.
Rock. Solid. Phone. Stock ROM after cleanup runs great!
I have mine since 10 hours and I can confirm that it's hanging in some situations, but nothing serious... I'll unlock it soon and debloat it too.
looking forward to some Vanilla AOSP Roms =)

AOSP rom for Surnia devices

I'm pretty sure you could flash AOSP itself. It's stock, but theres no Google apps.

btw I wouldn't recommend it, I was trying it and it's preatty buggy and outdated. It doesn't have fm radio and it's using only bottom microphone for video recording (stock 6.0 uses both mics so there is stereo effect). It also doesn't support any new custom kernels because it wasn't updated for ages. The worst thing is that it slows down a lot after few days and you need to reboot. On stock 6.0 with squid kernel the performance drop wasn't that big, I was using it for 30 days without reboot and it was still pretty good.

I don't have any of those problems, except for msybe fm radio but I don't give a crap about that. But, I can flash squid kernel & I don't get performance drops often. So it's literally bug free for me. Maybe you should try flashing it again. After all, bad flashes happen.

My apologies you guys for not getting back earlier. I've been fumigating for bugs.
Those issues you were describing are the exact issues I'm dealing with today on my current ROM a popular CM based true to form option-heavy, stability-light ROM. This is a shame as its been fairly reliable platform for me. The occasional issue that was easily remedied with a reboot, a restore or a reflash. The past few months have been bug after bug for me. Mostly a pesky incompatibility issue with my ROM and OpenGapps.
Its seems all I've been doing lately is testing alternative gapp pkg sources, kernels and mods.
What makes this issue the real tops though is that the ROM I use was just listed as "Official" and "Stable" last month. There may be a weekly update waiting in the basket for me but the basket build server is down.
So....?
Not sure where to go from here. I'll tell you this much though. When I decided to try and root this device 8 months ago I had no idea it involved so much. I can almost write my own svripts, I'm understanding the bugreports I generate and read and i haven't spent this much time in a ToyBox since I was 9.
Lol. I'm not complaining though... I love to learn.
Oh and I still haven't tried the ROM you recommended as of yet. PC seems buggy now too.

With a heavy heart :(

Hello!
A lil back story!
Im coming from a nexus 5 32gig, used it for 4 years, broke its screen and now kept it on the side.
was dying to purchase the iphone se for 21k via bajaj emi card, sadly that option wasn't available.
The only option i had was honor 8 pro 30k.
Device was great but i would have to care alot and i thought spending that much on that phone might not be worth it. phone seems great, but that big phone isn't really my thing and i doubt id use it to its full potential.
So with a heavy heart i booked the note 4 32 gig[as thats more than enough for me]
I dont mean to offend anyone, im sure people love the phone and its GREAT for the price. thats why i got it
ill be getting it tomorrow, so before it arrives i thought id get my self prepared and cheer my self up.
i plan to make alot of changes, it would be great if someone could guide me!
1] I plan to change the firmware to lineage os or any suggestions are welcome?
2] anyway i can get stereo speakers mod? like earpiece and bottom firing speaker together?[i did it on my nexus 5]
3] Any camera mods?
4] If i flash the custom firmware would it make an impact on my battery life? i kinda felt it does on the camera, but still?
5] Any mods i should install from your end guys? PLEASE advice?
I got this phone cause it has great support, great built and amazing battery!
So i just thought i can make it my own lil Pixel [aka nexus 5 replacement]
Really looking forward to some help
Thank you all:fingers-crossed:

Hi!
1. There are customs with much more features than LOS and you can find them there on xda. I hope you ordered a snapdragon variant!
2. Im pretty sure that i've seen something like that, but trust me - you dont want to try that, because earpiece is just much worse than normal speaker.
3. Everything is on xda! But sadly i dont think that camera will be that "good" as on MIUI because MIUI has it's own camera libraries. So if you want better camera stick to MIUI.
4. Not really. Usually only kernel affects battery life.
5. Viper4Fx and dolby atmos for better sound. Don't install any AWESOME 4K SOUND MODS.

That's not true, ported Google HDR+ Camera is actually WAY better than stock MIUI camera, especially in low light. It can shot in RAW format, working HDR+ and Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) and 4k recording for videos.
It can be used on both MIUI and all custom ROM's after enabling Camera2 API.

1. If you just want stock android just go with LineageOS, it's the best... If you want more you can go with Slim, PA, XenonHD, AospExt they're among the best custom rom out there
2. Dunno, I don't like music with the phone speaker because it always suck, I'm listening with my earphone and it's good enough compared to my legendary ipod touch, I can't find any significant downside.
3. Hopefully you will not get omnivision sensor because it really sucks on low light and you can't use the hdr+ mods until MIUI dev fix the bugs for omnivision sensor.
4. Yes and No, you will end up with about 10 hours of SoT... you will get 12 if the ROM is good, at least 8 if the ROM sucks.
5. Just check your camera if its sony or samsung just get the hdr+ because the only complaints about RN4 is low light camera performace, the hdr+ mod makes it perfect

There is nothing like Nexus. Prepare to be disappointed with this. I was always a Nexus guy, coming to this device is such a disappointment but It's just temporary so I'll survive

No modds except that Google camera. The rest is just Octos rom. Not even custom kernel because ,for this device, every custom kernel is worse than stock Los one. Pretty unbelievable a?:laugh:.
But battery life is unbelievable also so no need for adjustment there.

Read guide, not possible to instantly unlock bootloader. After binding device with Mi Account you have to wait 72 hours to unlock bootloader.

You can get permission even in 5 minutes, you still have to wait 72 hours after binding device, sometime ago there was workaround using old unlocker but it's no longer working.

RevOS is awesome!

There was a brief thread for the ROM in the ROMs section that was promptly closed. I don't know if it will come back anytime soon, because I'm not sure if the dev even understands why his thread was closed, and I haven't made any effort to discuss it with him. It was enough to get me curious, though, so I Googled it, and it's fantastic. I highly recommend checking this ROM out, even though you will have to go through Twitter or telegram to get support. I haven't found any major bugs, and the fingerprint reader works better than all of the other non-stock ROMs for me. The only thing I ran into is that it comes with AOSP dialer and I wanted to use Google's Phone app, but it won't install. I had the same issue with MiUI. I was able to use the patched APK from XDA, though, so I think I'm good.
cause it has apps that wants payments as bloatware

I haven't seen anything other than stock Google and AOSP apps, but maybe you noticed something I didn't?
I installed it it's kinda good with the additional improvements but whenever i lock my phone and put it for 5 min it reboots randomly for nothing, i did a clean instal with the right vendor anf firmware im only getting this issue on REVOS so i went back to derpfest

Huh, that's interesting. The only problem I've had with it is my email app (Spark) kept crashing, but I guess it was the app, because they updated it yesterday, and now it isn't crashing.
How is the FP on derpfest?

Tho i found where the issue was, i was using LKT a magisk module to improve the battery i guess it's not compatible with it's kernel.
Found i bug u can't share a picture from the gallery or an mp3 file from mixplorer or any file manager to the messenger app it's the only rom with this bug
For the fp it was better in january build now it's getting worse after every update and it work 1/10 outside in the sun so kinda not the best

Tottally agree! It used to be a copy of miuipro. And now is a king of miui eu with YouTube Vanved and micro g embebbed.
Don't thing that is the kind of dev we should support.
Lol I'm not suggesting anyone give him any money. I just liked the ROM and it worked great when most of the ROMs have some sort of issues that irritated me. Now I'm running ColtOS.

I´m not mentioning you, mate! Sorry! I'm talking about users in general, because this dev never really created a rom. Always cloned others.

No problem. I don't know anything about the guy or his past releases. I'm a flashaholic. Since my last post I've moved on to Titanium OS. It's great to have a phone with so many developers!
After trying this for a while this is my review:
Rom is very smooth but Android Auto doesn't seem to work. Fingerprint it's nice for me (I think the FOD is the problem of this phone no matter what ROM do you use), but it doesn't have facial unlock so it's a bit annoying when fingerprint doesn't want to work. Apart from that it doesn't have long press to kill apps.
Anyway it's a good ROM for daily driver if you don't need those features and has a lot of customization options!

What is this, and why are you posting it here?
I've used this ROM for a while but switched to MSM Extended. I had some issues with RevOS after the OTA update and missed some configurability.
