Project treble support? - Huawei MediaPad M5 Questions & Answers

Hi!
Could someone please check whether the tablet supports project treble? It should, because it ships with Android 8, but you never know whether a manufacturer follows the rules or not.
There are currently two apps available in the Play Store which can check this. I would suggest the following, because it can also check for A/B system partitions, which makes updates easier:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kevintresuelo.treble
I have tried the app on my older tablet - the "uses in app purchases" is only there for a "Donate" menu item.
Why is treble relevant? If you look at the xda developer forums of the predecessor, the Mediapad M3, you can see that there is not a single custom ROM available for it, although TWRP is available:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m3/development
Since Huawei doesn't seem to care much about updates, having project treble would make it much easier to get custom ROMs in the future.
Thanks
Chris

@chris_g treble is supported but A/B updates not.

Thanks for the info. I have bought the 8.4 inch WiFi model now, and I can confirm what you write (treble yes, A/B no). It's a nice replacement for my old Nexus 7.

Have you taken advantage of Treble and installed a custom ROM?

I would do so immediately ... unfortunately there is no stock image available yet, so no parachute if something goes wrong, and this is a no-go for me.

No, I`m quite happy with the Huawei stock ROM so far. You can get the Android app drawer if you don`t want all apps on the home screen, just search for "drawer" in the settings. And the Android button emulation via fingerprint scanner is great (tap = back, long tap = home, swipe = task list). Also it`s quite up to date, January 2018.
It`s more about future updates for me, when there will be no security updates.

@chris_g I am currently using the pixel launcher ... looks like an XXXL-Pixel device now

Same here. I'm fully content with the stock ROM for now. I'm just looking forward to a build of TWRP so it can be rooted.

I compiled b2g for the nexus 5 to try it out. If anyone else is interested, you can download my build. I attached the build logs as well.
In my opinion, it is nowhere near ready to be used as the primary operating system on the nexus 5 but if anyone wants to play around with it, be my guest.

It's interesting to check the progress, see how other operating systems are doing but yes, it's not ready yet. Still fun to try it out though.

Does stock ROM support multi user account?

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

Yeah, bought a M5 Lite, and multi-users is not possible. Bummer.
It's a feature I have on my old Nexus 7, very disappointed.

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.

Derpfest ROM android 10 discussion, experiences, mods

Hi to all
The developers of derpfest ROM don't wanna share the links to Derpfest in xda.
We have to respect this! Don't post any links to ROM or telegram derpfest groups!
Here is the closed thread without links but with important infos:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/help/android-10-derpfest-rom-10-official-t4032543
So, this thread is only for advice, discussions and experiences.
Future requests
Please tell me what you want to have changed or implemented, the I would ask the developers if it could be possible.
My list
1. adding autocall record
2. Adding flip display down to mute ringer
3. Smart charge (charging only to a predefined % value)
4. Adding display saturation level
5. All closing button in recent app list
6. And last to be 100% perfect with 5 stars: a system menu with automatic timebased network disconnect... Like leandroid app
Hi guys
This TWRP (last version from 16.) is lookin and working better than all others:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/development/orangefox-recovery-10-mi9cepheus-test-t3987959
If you delete the empty folder root data per_boot the backup is running without faults.
Many additional functions like disable magisk modules for testing or after bootloop with a non working module....
There are 2 versions of derpfest 13.1. 20 online. Someone checked the differences?
Is it impossible to support the ok google hotword feature?
Sadly hotword don't work on most custom roms in Mi9.
Except few roms
For example, old Bootleggers ROM, EvolutionX 3.5 1224 build etc...
You can assign AI button to ok google or use screen gestures,
but in my case I really need a hotword so I can't move to another rom.
I saw some comments before.
There was a saying that moving from possible ROM to impossible ROM, but the attempt failed.

Google cam for derpfest (may be good for all android 10)
Hey ladies
If you want to try my personally favorite of gcam with complete settings (I'm on derpfest but I think it's working quite good in all roms with Android 10) then you can download my backup and restore it with titanium. Recommend is no gcam is installed on starting restore.

most people looking for information about some roms go to the "ROMs" section and not here, which is why so little interest. DerpFest itself is the best rom for mi9 (with weekly releases.)
IBTD, a ROM with GAPPS included can never be 'the best ROM' for any device. YMMV but I'd like to decide by myself which Google bloatware I'd like to install.
Cheers

Battery tweak
I've tested magisk module "MOD optimal battery saving for Mi 9 v3. 7" in newest derpfest
and yesterday evening I was on 71% and today in the morning around 8 hours of sleep it was also 71%!
Never seen such a low battery consumption over night.

Yes, I think every gcam has some bugs.
Also this one:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1-HAYDgRI2z2Z7pbWMBtmEuP8jStW5oPT
But this one (apk install, unpack my zip xml settings to sd card that you've got a GCam Folder with subfolder Configs7 and there are the xml configs / open cam app and choose the config file by double click black area or in the settings menu)
I've found today and there are a lot of settings adjustable and quite stable. For me perfect pictures....
Try and give feedback.
I've used Derpfest for a couple of days and was very happy with it. But I couldn't get Android Auto to work with my car - dark screen on the dashboard and phone would lock up. I've dirty flashed PE and there Android Auto works fine.
I understand Android Auto may be a very rare use case, so I certainly don't want to complain. What's more interesting is that you may apparently try dirty flashing between PE and Derpfest...at least at this moment.
Can confirm. Android auto not working. Black screen and phone restarts for me.
So i am going back to PE.

Well most of us are still on EMUI 10 (10.0.0.206)
I'm not sure about other regions but I'm texting on behalf of VOG-L29 Huawei P30 Pro in South Africa.
I think that Emui 10.1 will come in June last week, or even during July. So, information on portals that Emui 10.1 came out for EU users are not correct. There are a few members who received 10.1 for testing purpose and presentation on Yt. Also there are reports that build 123 has bugs. So, I think we will wait security patch June 2020 with emui 10.1.

It was reported that 10.1 came out in Germany Spain and France. I've got it on mine, which is why I created the thread. Still you need to state that this is not correct, why? Screenshot attached, running 10.1 for 4 days, no test user.
I created the thread to see the experience of others. Indeed I've got bugs (see my post) but your statement is incorrect that 10.1 has not come out for EU users.
Maybe I'm wrong but there is some issue with mentioned build 123. Also, on Firmware Finder which use official Huawei server, there are no builds for 10.1, so Huawei obviously canceled test ota using HiCare or Support. That is the reason why noone here didnt report any about that build. Also, there is no dload or service rom for b123. But, lets see what will happen. I whish to be wrong but.... I have too much experiences with Emui releases.
Well, yes there's some issue. Not sure if it's test but it came via normal update. But quite some stuff is not working, multi window does though and it's fast. But no meetime, multi device panel etc. So maybe it was pulled after initial release

Great to hear. Are you able to go from a notification straight to a floating window app? Saw this on a video but it's also not working for me. Seems that at least three or four features don't work.
Noticed also that despite smart charging enabled, the phone hits 100% consistently even when charging shorter periods like in the morning from 40% upwards.

Well, your impression that the server which used by FF are the same like the Devices do, is wrong. Why? Because, if I use erecovery, I receive the same Version like I did through OTA. Same by usinge HiSuite on PC.
Means: Just because FF got no entry to the same servers like our devices on regular way do, it's no clue to think there's something wrong

Using that app i've shared and connecting using HiSuite, that app gets the OTA links update that are sent to your device from Huawei servers.
If i can get that links, i will do some test and if all went fine, i will be able to help all users update their devices to EMUI 10.1.

U're lucky that u got this update(probably from Orange), I didn't received it on Vodafone Romania...
Does some also has this weird notification theme error? Already had it on 10 and hoped they fix it. After multiple notifications are popping up and I pull down the notifications, some of the are turning white and translucent. I guess this has something to do with themes and dark mode, but it is occurring on every theme so far.

Multi window changed. Stay with XDA, for instance, then pick an app from your floating window dock and keep the divider pressed. The two windows jump into multi window. You can change the position by moving to top window down with its divider and vice versa. Doing this right now with XDA top and gallery at the bottom.
But multi window from the recent menu won't work. There you can start any app in floating window mode.
As for the rest, same for me ? seems like an incomplete update. Note that meetime will be limited initially but I'm in Germany which should have meetime.
I am on a German VOG-L29 but not in Germany
I am on 10.0.0.195
I was at Huawei Experience Store yesterday
They said for now its the latest and 10.1 will be pushed soon, maybe sooner to mine than to others because its German
If I check for updates its says up to date
is the Huawei Firmware Finder still working? I used it for gettin 0 day updates on EVA-L19 (P9)
I dont use Google on the phone, like to get a new experience with Huawei and EMUI only
how to remove Google Bloatware?
I found yesterday a free app that has a paid version for 3-4 bucks called Flaoting Apps, is that something that 10.1 have integrated called Multi Window?

I'm willing to throw some money at it if he can add the Poco F3 baseband to a pad 5 5g custom rom. Same chip set and specs basically.
I want calls and SMS to function. I want to ditch a phone and just have the Pad 5. My online banking is done via OTP (one-time pin). I can withdraw money cardless I just need my SMS to send me the pin.
Also money in and out of my account I'm sent an SMS.
I'll tip in $100 USD. Let's go.
The SMS (both sending and receiving msgs) works fine on mine (Pad 5 pro 5g). The voice call doesn't work at all. You can't even use a dialer for 'secret codes' for testing. I am currently on a GSI, but it was the same on MIUI. I am in the UK if it makes a difference.

Not at all, the miui interface and the google framework is integrated, i need a vanilla rom without such crap, then i can install manually the apk i need for my use.
I will strongly prefer to ditch MIUI if nothing else to greatly reduce the risk of irreversible hardbricks that seems to be fairly common with updates after the first year or so and very rare in case of custom ROMs if at all. Just today a new report mentioned MIUI 13 hardbricking Mi 11 Ultra, Mi 11, Mi 11 Lite 5G. MIUI is just garbage IMO anyway.

Go into developer menu and turn off Miui optimisation. Can sideload any apk once it's turned off.
I couldn't load any system apps and non store apks until I did.
MIUI is ok when you sort all the permissions out.

Miui is heavy, without this crap the os load 2 times more fast also, i prefer 100 times the standard aosp minimal but fast gui.
