wow wow wow, dude!

First of all, thanks! Radios in B906 really sucked! My gps locks but OBLY if i'm outside, standing min. 3-4m from any building. I guess the sensitivity of all the radios (wifi, gps & mobile network) went down.

I'd like to folow your steps but, euhm, could you dumb that down a little bit?

I'm definately not a noob, but half of the things you said, i don't even...

I'll be eternally gratefull :angel:

I've got to run but just enough time to answer :p

I got 2 Imak cases. One quicksand black and another with water drops. Just search it on ebay and you'll find it! The quicksand one feels kind of like the backside of the Mate itself but with a little more grip. They both cam with a free screen protector. I'll attach some (crappy) pics.

I also use Nova + widgetlocker and it looks really good IMO

I could also try to test a benchmark for you. You get one on your mind i should test on B906?

Sorry for the large pictures guys! Don't have time to propperly format this bcause i have to get my train now! I'll do it later :D

Update pics are now hidden :)

Hi hamdimo,

So, I finally tried to install the B906 on my HAM.... but the installation is failing...:confused:

I tried to installation using recovery and by local upgrade.... also i tried by putting the dload file in sd card & also on internal memory... still then the installation fails...

Any advice's please....

On internal sdcard make the dload folder .

Only put the .app file into it which you unzipped.

Turn on phone holding power and volume + / - .

If done correctly it should update with no other user input needed.

I was just checking if i uploaded the right folder and i really did, (two folders on my desktop: dload4.2 and dload4.1) so what's failing? what message appears?

Anyway, I HAVE TWO SOLUTIONS:

1_ Try this "a bit older version" B905 http://www.multiupload.nl/236MJ2AL87 but this version come without gapps, so you need to install the gapps apks from here https://app.box.com/s/mtbktgrnsvdrhut33uea/1/1198579223 if it installs then there's a problem with my upload and i'm so sorry for that :( i'll upload it again on my Drive)

2_ please make sure before upgrading using the dload folder that your mate is updated by the latest OTA from huawei, which is B221 (just an idea)

if the B905 flash goes without problems then there's a problem with my upload and i'm so sorry for that :( i'll upload it again on my Drive) so that the download speed will be at its maximum.

i apologize for the corrupted upload and i'm it again (fingers crossed)

It's not really that hard, you know you need to be rooted to do this right? :p if yes then read carefully:

1_ Download the apps i mentioned earlier (link in number 6)

2_ Get the app "ROM TOOLBOX lite "from the playstore, this app comes with many many many root tools but we need only one tool which is "Root Browser"

3_ The first time you open this tool it needs to install some utilities, choose YES, when it's done you get a to see some folders

4_ Scroll down to "system" and open it, then open the folder "app" in this folder create a new folder and name it BACKUP

4_ In the same folder "app" look for

[*]GoogleServicesFramework.apk

[*]GoogleServicesFramework.odex

NetworkLocation.apk

NetworkLocation.odex

5_ Copy and paste them all in the BACKUP folder you just created, then delete them

6_ replace them with the new ones Googleserviceframework and networklocation

7_ Change the permission for eachone of them to rw-r--r like this http://techtrickz.com/wp-content/upl...permission.jpg If you don't know how to change the permission of an app then just hold your finger on the app, a menu appears, choose permission and there you go.

If you encountered problems with the playstore force-closing, just restore the app you backed up "GoogleServiceFramework.apk with .odex"
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] the_messeng3r:
Thanks for that! Nova Launcher and Widget Locker looks quite nice on the Mate! Thanks for that! Thanks for the case ideas too!

I really like that KLD Enland case! I found it in Black on eBay, so I might grab one! Thanks heaps for that! Thanks for the video too!

Thanks for the link! Currently looking at the cases :)

Thanks everyone for the replies! I'm really looking forward to getting my Mate!! I'm just worried that it won't fit in my pocket :p
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] syaah:
Guys,

Confirmed that your downloaded "UPDATE.APP" file in your dload folder of your ext sdcard is abt 1.22Gb prior to updating.

If its not, you will have to again download the correct firmware, sometimes while downloading, the file might get corrupted.

It happened to me when I did my update,

this should fix the failing updating process.

Good Luck!!

i cant root my mate anymore ... rooted it first on b221 ... then i had to reinstall the whole firmware (via force method) ... since then i wasnt able to root the device via eroot anymore ... not on b221, b905 or b906 (i ALWAYS used the suggested version) ... instead, eroot always asks me to enter some informations, like version and some number and extra text ... after this it restarts the whole procedure ...

anyone has a solution for me?

Hi hamdimo,

Thanks a lot for you effort n time... :)

i guess the file in multiuploadhttp://www.multiupload.nl/TDVINMJCEC is corrupted.... in the mean time before you could upload ur google drive... i downloaded from the french fourmhttp://forum.frandroid.com/topic/170140-maj-officielle-chinoise-mais-en-fran%C3%A7aise-aussi-b906-android-422/page-3

And it installed completely....:cowboy:

Successfully rooted with eroot and enabled navigation bar hiding too... :good:

All-in-all... the firmware is pretty smooth... love that...:) only disadvantage is that Huawei has removed most of the stock theme's... :(

Is there any way that i can load the stock emotionUI theme's of B221-Android 4.1.2.....?

I didn't face any problems with the agps thing as of now.... need to explore the firmware more... to confirm whether i have this problem or not.

BTW i had a tough time working with the eroot thingy... because all the content written in it was of the whatever Chinese/Japanese [Asian fonts]... So, is there a eroot version 1.3.4 with English content in it...?

How are you guys managing to root with the Asian fonts content in it...?

Is it necessary to unroot the HAM before upgrading to the next OTA updates.... or can i directly apply the update over the rooted b906....?

---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 PM ----------

Can i change the DPI settings in build.prop to increase the clarity....?

will it bootloop the phone...?

if i can increase the DPI...please recommend me the DPI value that i can set to get clearer images without bootloops..
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Onecton:
Thanks for the nice words mate :o but i again will point out that im no dev :laugh: just enthusiast maybe,

anyway I will stick around.

Once you hit XDA, it's a one way road ;) to victory and awesomeness, i may be having another device, but the HAM community has always a special place for me!

Keep it up, i digged through the last 4 pages, seems like finally someone is attacking that device tree problem! So you guys can have custom Roms in no time if the succeds with the tree

Yeah, i kinda jumped the Nexus 5 bandwagon, since the return from my HAM was exactly the price of the nexus last week, ordered a white one since that had a estimated delivery time of 3 weeks.... ordered Wednesday.... phone was here on Monday. Nice device:victory:

hamdimo, the google drive link is the B906 firmware?

if it is cool with you can i add it to the ROM Thread? so that the other users can find iit more easily?

Eroot? just hit the only one button there is... it roots the phone not more not less ^^ frankly i didn't care since it does the rooting in a buttersmooth way ^^

for the dpi,

if you are already rooted, you can change the dpi for each app differently.

just install de xposed framework,

and the module called app settings.

i had it on my HAM and it worked flawlessly. no bootloops or whatever. :good:

Tell us the exact model of your HAM
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Bartcore3:
Good choice with the white ;D I also like the N5! But two things made it a big no-no for me.

The Battery is just 2300 mAh. I've become so used to the 4050mAh giant that i would probably never get till midday on a single charge :p

And there is no micro-SD card slot.. In the age of clouds and unlimited date, i still prefer to have my music saved and with me. I only have 860 songs but some are 1-2h long mixes. It takes almost 20GB of space, so if i would get a 32GB Nexus 5 i would have no space left for anything else..

I've seen that the B905 and the B906 both come with only three themes, that's really not enough :) that's hwy i'll be posting here more than 26 themes to choose from with screenshots if i had the time :)

here are my two favorite themes: MIUI V5 and Similar

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BzSEB4IswnapdUhWcWRYR1R5OE0&usp=sharing

HOW to install themes:

_Copy the theme file you just downloaded (which always ends with .hwt and place it in theinternal sdcard in the folder HWThemes

_Go back to the homescreen and open the app Themes. apply and enjoy.

IMPORTANT

: 1_ some themes come with a font pack and you need to reboor to apply that.

2_ some themes change the look of you navigation bar, you might not like it since they are made for other phones.

Screenshots:

MIUI V5

Hi Onecton,

I downloaded the xposed and app settings apk files...but before installing i wanted to know a few things from u as u have already used it...

is the dpi settings persistent for a given app even after rebooting... or else should i have to reset the dpi each time i reboot the phone...?

what would be the apt dpi for games like Real Racing 3... so that i get crisp images..?

Edit: I installed the Xposed framework and app settings... but i observed that after installing and enabling the Xposed framework... it is changing the display of the icon's of each app... even though i tried to change the UI-theme it does not change as expected...

I hope u understand it as u have used it...

So all i want to know if can i stop the xposed framework from changing the icon's of the the apps.... n let each theme do its work of changing the icon's as usual...

Added the pic's of before n after enabling xposed framework for your reference.

Thanks :)

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Onecton:
Hi Jeshuru99,

the dpi settings are persistent, meaning you don't have to punch them in each time you reboot. But of course you can change them according to your to infinity and beyond :)

As for the crisp image thingy, i don't really know, since the HAM has 720x1280 i don't know how much crispier do you want it? :)

i merely changed the dpi on some apps to really take full advantage of that immense 6,1 screen, like in whatsapp or 8tracks or soundcloud or name whatever non game you like and you know what i mean :o

That seems strange, i runned the HAM with NOVA-Launcher so i don't exactly know why this happens.

But i shouldn't happen.

Please Explain in more detail what you did.

Greetz
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Jeshurun99:
Oh....!!!! I have to sadly accept the fact that the required NFC module is not installed in my version of HAM....:(

bcz the apk for NFC is present in system/app folder & there is no mention of NFC in build.prop too.... so that directly points me to the fact that there is no NFC hardware...:eek:

Anyhow... thanks guys for the screenshots...:angel:

---------- Post added at 01:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 AM ----------

Actually I played Real Racing 3 on my friends GS3 Root CM 10.2 and on my HAM B221-Unrooted [prior to B906] and found out that the game ran more smoothly on his device than ours... also the image/video of the game in his was much clearer... but in HAM i felt that the game ran in a bit choppy manner and the image/video quality was more pixelated compared to his device... so only i got the idea of increasing the dpi.

Anyhow... i'm downloading the data necessary for that game [because of flashing B906]... once done i'll update you with the results of xposed framework :cowboy:

I don't use any Launchers... i prefer the stock emotion UI (atleast for now :p)

Normally in my previous phone's i observed degradation in the phone's performance[phone becomes slow] after using the Nova Launcher....didn't u notice the same on HAM.....?

So only i didn't install Nova on my HAM:cool:

okay,....This is what i did:

1) Installed Xposed framework.

2) Started the app and pressed the "Install/Update button" & reboot [Read from this]

Thatz it... the icons got changed after the reboot...

Also i have noticed that if i press the "uninstall" & reboot the HAM... the icons appear normally...

So, i feel that the xposed framework is changing the icon's look when it is enabled...

Any possible fixes...? So, that i get to use Xposed & also the icons remain the same.....

I notice some Times my GPS don't work(dont See any satelite.). Is a problem, since I use every day the GPS. I have root my HAM.

OmniROM is working on that right now, but since we are not supported by any custom rom out there, let's just forget about it.

BUT... if you turn the suspend button on in settings, you can get some floating apps, like "calculator, notes, agenda" those three can run at the same time, and also on top of another app like Browser.

try it.

Adding new contacts and sync

Something I noticed on my phone which i think is pretty important..

Currently on official b906 with Gapps via playstore. contact and calender sync adapter installed. I didnt notice this on official b221.

I noticed on my default people app, when i create a new contact, I must manually select "my contacts" in the group option right below. which is hidden by the onscreen keyboard so u may not notice.. if not it will not be synced to other devices. I have never noticed this before. I realised this "problem" when i was trying to sync my google account with a new WP device. Initially I thought its a problem with my new phone after reading some conflicts with WS and Google.

I have tried on 3 other android device and there is no need to go thru this step at all.. All their options are the same but different from HAM and there is no "my contact" group to choose. So i guess on many other devices any new contact will go into the "my contacts" group by default. And this option on HAM does not stick so every new contact have to do this manually.

So this may the issue if u happen to realise that your contacts "doesnt sync".

Hi.

Yes the suspend button really helps when we need quick response to messages, calculator or notes which can run same time with any apps. One app that i also realise that can do that is the built in TPlayer. It can play in different window, music or videos at the same time using other apps. There might be other built in apps in Ham that can do that but havent test yet and theres also this function in the Settings menu, multi screen. Dont really know what it do but it has to relate with other apps i guess.

Scpion says about the contacts sync thing, i also realised that it always go back to 'my contacts' when dealing with phonevooks or new contacts to add. Doesnt seem to sync with google but at least can be save as vcard for backup in mcard.
