Ascend Mate Thread

Anybody knows why our phone isn't listed in the xda developers device section?I think that Ascend mate really deserves a place in this forum same as the ascend P6 and I don't think that the Ascend Mate will have lack of support from other developers if that will be the answer why the device isn't listed.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mixterz:
gsmarena says the phone doesn't support 64gb sdcard. only 32gb
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] cashif:
^I am using 64gb card without any problem; its just that you cant install from it.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] janmic:
Which version are you using? Can't get CWM V6.0.3.6 to mount the external SD card 32GB.

Thanks

B905

Well i Flashed B905 tonight ... and frankly i was a bit pissed ^^

If you disable the Huawei Lockscreen "freeze" it .. you get some sort of 4.2.2. Lockscreen... but you cant palce widgets on it ... and whats really bugging me is that the "delocking" Thingie ... its off center :eek:

nononono

What i think is too not so cool is that the pulldown menue is white now ....

I was sucessfuly able to enable the hide option for the softbuttons.. but i reverted back to B221 ...

I'm disappointed a bit :crying:

But alas i das sop furious i wanted to extract the B905 Update.app ... and tried winrar lol because winrar extracts everything ^^

->Quick search on XDA revealed that LINK so i managed to get out the system.img from the B905 and extracted it .. now i have the extracted B905 system.img .. and now ... well i don't know but i have it ...

:D maybe i start making stuff with it when i did my exams ...

Edit: Firstly i started to deodex that stuff ... then well see...
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] flibblesan:
Or you could just use the Huawei Update Extractor from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2433454 :good:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Onecton:
Or i could use that :D well the method is basically the same just in a nicer package but thanx mate!

:highfive:

Found Him on XDA too [TOOL] Huawei Update Extractor [UPDATED: v0.9.3.0] ^^ works better than the other thingie i had posted ...

Themer Beta

BOLLOCKS!!

For some reason we are left out again ... because our stupid navbar on bottom reduces the resolution to whatnot x 720 ...

feels like we are some cast out freaks .. with a device stuck between a mobile phone and a tablet :silly:

kind of begining to suck ... well i like it still (the device that is) ... :highfive:

On an unrelated note:

Has anyone of you been able to disable the battery percentage in the notification bar?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] eskamhl:
in Build.prop

ro.config.hw_battery_percent=false ( instead of true, obviously )
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Onecton:
Thanks mate :highfive:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] janmic:
Thanks. I don't know why it is not working for then. The only difference is that my card is a Lexar.

Update:

Works now!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Onecton:
Again i did extract the stuff now .. properly with android kitchen and blablabla

so now after deodexing my first question is ...

what happens when i simply delete all Hw*********.apk ?

i think i wont come out with a HW free phone .. mainly a bricked phone :confused:

maybe christiansfreeman can provide some input ?

also im well aware that our bootloaders are locked and the problem with the CWM still is present ... but you have to play around a bit don't you agree?

is there a possibility to run the rom on an emulator ?

i never would have thought i would try and cook up stuff for my own handset ...

mind you that this is sooooo far away from even running on something .. its just alltheory at the moment and disc space which is consumed ... thats it
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mixterz:
thought the custom ROM was being released today?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Onecton:
wasnt he saying on the seventh ?

even if he is releasing it on the sixth ... at my place we have 00:30 am right now lol its in the middle of the night ^^
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mixterz:
hour behind yeah buddy. two extra days ain't too bad
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] theoppositeman:
He said 7th so another day to wait.....

Hmmm..where exactly he resides?

If he's in US then in my time he's still on the 5th and i'm on 6th.....the world is sphere..wish its flat..:D:D

hi boldo and everyone else,

Which version of root explorer are you guys using or which text editor? I edited the build.prop but was unsuccessful in getting the hide/unhide Nav Bar.

Rebooted and stucked in Huawei Logo, now on B905 still but unable to get the Nav Bar with hide/unhide version. Any help is much appreciated, Thks.

Guys...See Post #905 for the fix, Coincidently its the Rom version B905.... LOL.

Hopefully, by the time our posts hits 1000 on the 100th page, the kind moderators in XDA would consider our HAM dedicated page, as our HAM is definitely in the same league as the others.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Onecton:
Amen to that mate !

But i think we have a long way to go for the community to recognize us :crying:

but hey, keep on pushing till we get what we want ^^

i want an AOSP rom btw :D lol
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] theoppositeman:
It almost 1000.... Really hope that happen..

Btw, why some of us here hv issue with the nav bar whereas we downloaded the same firmware from the same link. Ham supposed to hv 2 types of release, 1g and 2g version of rom. Maybe theres a lot of different ham afterall, maybe.

Please someone help me.

Hi I am having serious problems with this device. I have it on vodafone uk and it was originally running firmware b105 so it was a bit out of date.It was all working ok on b105 but now having tried b221 and b212 once its upgraded I keep getting the dreaded Huawei home has stopped working all the while. I have cleared the cache wipe data etc and am now starting to panic as its doing this all the while now on all the firmwares I have tried. I have even done a factory reset but this huwawei home error wont go away. Please help me someone.Also how do I flash a cusyom rom on this device as I have all the files but need it explained in plain english please.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] theoppositeman:
Yeah. Thats right, but until now still no sounds ffrom CM...maybe theyre not interested or too many wishes from others....

Since they go commercial, CM totally rocks the world of android customs. I think they are busy preparing the Oppo N1 CM Rom..

T28@MT1-U06
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Onecton:
Okay Mate

1.) Get this -> Full B221 Rom

2.) In the Zip is and folder "dload/UPPDATE.app"

3.) Place fodler with update.app on SD Card with less than 64 GB , i would recommend a 8GB card or so ...

4.) Shutdown the Phone

5.) Press all 3 Buttons at once and hold .... Power + Vol Up + Vol Down untill you are in the stock recovery

6,) In recovery make a Factory reset

7.) then apply update from external storage ... it should find the UPDATE.app by default and proceed to flash that ...

8.) :fingers-crossed: shuld be working now without FC from any app

a real custom rom isn't really out there right now to my knowledge ..

but for a custom rom the flashing process is really the same ..

hope i could help? if not please feel free to ask again ^^ we are all in the same boat after all

although we need a CWM for that which is existent but not fully working ... please feel free to dig in this thread for CWM -> Link

For rooting process refer to the link theoppositeman posted below... we recommend eroot .. since a toddler can root with that ^^

i would looove that ... source?

-----Edit----

why the heck doesn't this thread show up on my participated thread section anymore??

is there a limit ? slightly confused ...
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] syaah:
Great write up, would be great to have a dedicated HAM forum page, so that we can have a page on flashing rom.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Onecton:
that would be great :D and thanks ,

always trying to contribute to the community,

give and take ^^

i think such posts should be sticky in every device because everyday there are new guys who don't know how this works and it is really confusig do dig around ...

found that particulalry annoying when i needed to root my mums SGS2 and in these forums it is really hard to get a clean overview if you are new to a specific device. :)

I love the implementation of the Emotion UI's Software Keys because unlike any other implementations, HUAWEI's implementation respects screen real estate, manufacturers can learn from Huawei
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mixterz:
we should migrate over to android forum and just start up there for now. as stated scrolling through hundreds of pages is stressful. xda have a grudge against this device no doubt about it.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Onecton:
Well we don't have a forum that's correct. And obviously no one of the mods seemed to recognize our shoutouts at the device request forum.

But in my opinion xda is THE go-to source for android modification and such.

I really like the stuff going on here.

Right our thread is bursting with information. And its a pain to get what is what especially since we have times where there a 2 or more conversations going on. But I think we manage.

Since we have some really dedicated people in here I don't want to abandon xda simply because we can't get a forum for ourselves...

I'm still sure we will get one.

True the HAM is a niche product. Much like the SGM or other scree behemoths .... But we get there!

I don't have programming experience or such but I found something on xda-university regarding porting firmwares.

I talked with my friend a bit regarding porting .... Maybe it is possible to port a good ROM...

I'm still investigating

But I won't abandon xda because such minor stuff....

Or major. Depends on what is what to you....

But look at the people furiously contributing. Well never stop lol :highfive:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mixterz:
never said abandon just start up elsewhere till its sorted out. as for ROMs. I use paranoid on the nexus 7 pretty nice and very customisable with access to cm10s themes etc and with a very strong backing here on xda. I'd like to see that for the phone.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] phillev:
Thanks for the advice. Could you guys tell me also when upgrading the firmware on this beast if you can migrate from let's say b105 right to b221 without having to do any of the others inbetween, basically in other words go from the lowest to the highest.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Onecton:
I know what you mean. I would love the backing of people like the HOX has :D

I mean that's nuts lol... Just check their original android development section...

But I guess we won't grow to such sheer numbers in users for the HAM....

I used the ROM in my signature for the HOX ... I would loooove that ROM on the HAM....

Well yes... You can flash from B105 to B221... The link I posted earlier is the full B221 ROM.

If you mean with migrate to migrate all files and apps to B221 I don't know....

You could use a backup... Or simply store your pics and stuff on a SD card prior to the update?

Since I don't use too many apps I simply load them again from the play store on my PC...

Click wait .... Bahm on the phone :D
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Jack Baht:
Ive been looking for some time for a large screen Android phone that I can afford and recently where I live in Thailand the Huawei Ascend Mate MT1-U06 has been reduced to 10,500 Baht ( $ US 335 - £ 209 ). The only model on sale here is the 1GB version . Ive come across these comment in a review

There are other things Huawei could've done better. For one, the homescreen of the Ascend Mate doesn't auto-rotate, which is an important omission for a device of near-tablet size that's trying to offer the best of both worlds.

The 1GB is really insufficient some times causing a 2-3 second lag when switching between apps .

The Guiding Wizard is restricted to a limited number of counties .

Google play store is not pre installed so you will have to root the phone.

Any advice / comments please

Thank :good:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Onecton:
True there are two versions. I don't know how the 1GB version performs since here in Germany they only sell the 2GB version.

The home screen doesn't auto rotate? Sure it doesn't... Its still a phone :D but there must be an app or something available to get the desired effect.

I never really tried the guiding wizard since mapps is more than enough... I'm not a fan of this not so really argumented reality crap :)

Does the 1GB version come with the Chinese firmware? If so yes you have to flash gapps because they are not available for Chinese Roms since the government decided in China that the internet is a bad place and should be restricted......

If it is a chinese rom, you have to root it and then slap CWM on it flash gapps...

But that is really easy. And it is revertable. Just flash over the stock ROM and everything is gone.

Rooting is a one click option with eroot. And you can unroot it the same method.

For more rooting check the link in my signature.

If there is a general rom on the phone you have everything out of the box

I think the HAM is a really good handset. I bought it because it is smaller than my tablet. But I can still view large PDF file with comfort and stuff.

It is pretty solid too. And for that price you won't get more screen real estate anywhere else.

Hi Jack,

Accross the border into Malaysia, they have the 2gb Ram version and you can order it online, where it comes with the global version ie Google Apps preinstalled.

Give it a shot, you will never regret, as it is, we have an awesome HAM community and contributors herein xda which never stops helping each other, the support within our HAM community is overwhelming.

We may not know each other in person, but the helps rendered are just like we had known each other from our past life... LOL

Hi and thanks for the comments ,

I live in a fairly remote location so going to have a play with the phone is a full days work, I have played with this phone once back when it was more expensive , but now its come down in price I'm very interested once again. It does seem that some people here are being put off with the 1GB , I'm planning to make another trip to go and see the phone once more to get more info about the phone on sale , and will report back what I find .

I had thought about buying a phone from out side Thailand , but knowing my luck when it arrived there would be a problem :mad:

So for peace of mind and having a local warranty it seems that the only version available to me is the 1GB model, there seems some great support here :good:

Hi guys.

I knoe its too early, but did christianfreeman already release his rom?

Well, its really nice having lots of friends here who are willing to share insideout HAM.

T28#HOX
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] flibblesan:
BTW, the Ascend P6 is very, very similar to the Mate so in theory it should be quite trivial to port a ROM from that device to the Mate. I'm sure I saw a MIUI port somewhere but I've forgotten which Chinese forum I saw it on (far too many forums!)

I wouldn't want anybody to abandon XDA since it is a good forum and full of interesting information but they do let people down when they refuse to create forums for popular devices that aren't from the major brands such as Samsung, LG, HTC etc. It took months for them to create a forum for the ZTE Blade and by the time they made a forum the device was already becoming less popular. Modaco has Huawei forums btw :o

It'll take longer for a western update to come out as it needs certifying by Google due to the inclusion of Google apps. Should be better than the Chinese ROM that still doesn't feel right even with the Google apps hacked back in.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] 8alinesse:
Hi jack i'm a 1 gb mate user, i've been using mate for 2 weeks now, yes its seem accasionaly lil bit laggy in this 1 gb ram, i'm from indonesia btw, we also hv a forum for mate here, and one of the moderator comparing the 2 gb and the 1 gb mate, and he said that there is no such different in running apps, it only showing differences if its runs 3d heavy games like real racing 3 and thoes kind of games... and the 1 gb mate allready have g app.. and the latest firm ware is the b221...

hope that will help u decide... (sowry my english is awful, juat trying to share and help)....
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Onecton:
Not that i heared of it :) if he had im sure he posted it in here. maybe he is huntig bugs and issues isinde his rom before he thinks it is ready for the public. which i think is a good thing

Indeed it should be quite trivial to use a P6 ROM to port it over to the HAM, since both share the same K3V2 CPU, problem is does the P6 also have the XMM6260 ?

Also if you check the P6 forums here on XDA there is barely someting in it ^^ which i quite don't understand since it is a real good phone.

And i really would love to see AOSP or AOPK on the HAM....

Chance is it is ported firstly to the P6 and if it will be, then the port from the P6 to HAM should be in theory quite simple ...

I pocked around a bit ... the K3V2 is actually a armeapi-v7a based CPU which is literally everywhere.... since it implements the Cortex-A9 Core.

But the question arises, is that the key to everything?

I PM'd a dev, but it seems i missed something, because in theory that isn't enough to enable a port from a different device (or Manufacturer) to another or something.. it has something to do with the XMM6260 the HAM is using, im pretty confused.

But hey the good thing is the HAM pushes me in a direction where I want to try rom stuff, before that i was perfectly happy with tahink a readyly available ROM from XDA and just slam it on my phone.

SInce the HAM hasn't such a strong backing, im forced to act for myself. And if i succed contribute to the community.

But im still in the learing phase... so dont expect something soon....

I quite don't get it why Huawei Devices don't have such a strong backing in general, why don't give the new kid on the block some love?

It looks like there is no info anywhere about our OTA update for b905 firmware
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] theoppositeman:
Well, it seems OTA for B905 wont come earlier. If u mean for int/global rom, i dont think so, for what i read in the chinese b905 that was release last week was in a final beta release or so. And seems they also got it not from ita but from the web too. I might be mistaken but int/global release will come soon, cross-fingered and wait..

Anyway, onecton was right about christianfreeman rom release. Because theres no 4.2.2 update yet except for the b905 chinese version, so i guess too he maybe putting some effort on it. Go for it mate, we'll wait.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Onecton:
I will try ... But don't expect some Results in the next time ^^

Nice onecton.

Now that we have 4 sections for HAM, why would there be a forum page for it? Guess XDA want something more?

One thing (for me) i will observed what will XDA do for the next few months when these few giants going out:-

But, by looking at my favourite spec, BATTERY, they're still below HAM...:thumbup::D

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] cashif:
why no forum??!?

Thanks for the feedbacks & Supports guys but I dont understand why xda moderators have not taken any action to provide us with a dedicated forum. Already, Ascend Mate is the 2nd most popular device in the general forum (if you eliminate other General threads about devices) and still we are not getting a dedicated forum; sad state of affairs!

As for christianfreeman(?) ROM, I dont think we are going to get any. If he develops, well and good, but he has just 7-8 posts and his two posts were promising about ROM but nothing done yet. I had my doubts then and I am even more sceptical now about us getting a ROM now.

Having said that, I am pretty happy with the Stock ROM, so not in a hurry to flash ROM!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] theoppositeman:
Come to think about it. I am glad after reading some news from microsoft. They hv held talks with 3 giants, htc,samsung and of course huawei to fill in their windows phone os in android for dual boot maybe. Hope this plans will be ongoing as our ham k3v2 chips is capable of many things. Thats what i think in my perception.

Anyone has been using the intelliscreen pro in ham? I've been using it since the beginning and it really helps to save our ham buttons. Its useful when using flip cases and putting in our pocket without pressing the buttons.

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Onecton:
an option for dual booting a phone is a nice gimmic,

but i doubt they will implement it on already existing phones...

a must where these 3 buttons below the Display,

leftmost this back arrow , center the "dedicated" Windows button and on the right the button for the "mighty" Bing search engine :D

but hey if it comes someone will most likely port it anyways , maybe
