[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] andy.m:
Update: I managed to finally unlock it, root it and install Google apps. :)

Jethro, thanks a lot for your walk-through. I pretty much tried all your steps but didn't succeed. Maybe you can help.

1. I went straight to Huawei's website, filled out that form and kindly asked for the unlock key. Together with S/N, IMEI # and Product ID. Three attempts, but never any answer from Huawei.

2. Downloaded VROOT and with the help of my Chinese colleagues successfully rootet the G520-00000. Or, so the software says, according the Chinese. I have a Chinese "Superuser" installed, or whatever that little tool is.

3. I've manually added Gmail and Google Play Store. Logged into Gmail first.

I can now start Play Store. However I get a "Connection timed out". First I thought it was because I was still in China. But now back in Germany with no restrictions on the internet, Google Play Store can't connect. I do allow (Chinese character on the right) Play Store in the Superuser software. But no success.

Is it not rooted?

I have ESFileExplorer installed and I get access to whole lot of "strange" folders. I can delete certain China Unicom apps.

I can install Google Chrome. But Chrome crashes immediately every single time.

Without the Play Store I don't get G+ and other Google apps running that require Googe Play Store access.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Andy

Huawei G520

That is nice guide. Thank you for explane all. I bought Huawei G520 but all rom support just english and chinas. Is there any Multilanguge Rom? I need Rom with Turkish language support.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wuufer001:
The feature of the HTC One consolidating all messages to under the same person with different phone numbers is annoying for me.

many people i know have a personal and work mobile phone, so 2 numbers.

but the messaging app consolidates and puts it under the same name, so everytime i want to text i have to go to the menu and select which to send to

is there a way to remove this feature, or the only way is to create 2 contacts for the same person in the phonebook?

TIA
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bryan05:
I think you could go to edit contact and unlink the numbers. Not positive but I think it could work.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wuufer001:
thanks for the suggestion, haven't tried it out since i downloaded the Go Pro sms right after posting

i think i'll just stay with this app, more options and customizing

Man, I'm the very first person to download Joey Krim's Original 2.0.1 Deodex! It's loading now. I can't wait to see what it looks like. I'm wondering if my smelkus recovery will block the update of this too. Lol... I'm about to find it with SD Maid and delete it. Anybody know what file folder it is housed in? I'm gonna BAR-B-QUE this phone tomorrow if I can't get it fixed. ha... I'll post a video of the ROM ROAST. I'm sick of this b.s. I wish I never tried anything different than what I had been doing. Now my phone is a piece of crap. But I got this Throwback to get me to sleep tonight. It just booted. Can't wait to see the old stuff.
[EVO 4G General] nathantaylor:
Yeah, you really screwed up your phone somehow. Idk if you'll be able to get it fixed, but just go with one of the few roms that you said worked and you'll have to live with it. :( Sorry, i don't know what else to tell ya.
[EVO 4G General] Sleepycloud:
Man, I fully unrooted my phone. Then rooted it again, and it's supposed to be like new again. I had no issues during this process. Everything went according to the outlined procedure. No deviations. Well guess what, it still does the same thing with the Pacman ROM. I was convinced that there must be something wrong with my phone, but I'm not sure now. Surely to God, nothing could still exist past an unroot and fresh flash right? I mean, the file system was completely reset with the PC36IMG right?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roligov:
Hi,

I have a Galaxy Note 2 and a Nexus 7 32GB 3G.

They are both rooted and both are running custom roms.

Note 2 is running Omega Rom, Nexus 7 running Slimbean.

Both have usb debugging turned on.

I have the samsung drivers installed for both.

I have them both "Connected as a Media Device".

When I connect the Note 2 to my windows 8 pc I get full access to the data folder and all the system files.

When I connect the Nexus 7 to my windows 8 pc I do not even see the data folder, I see everything BUT the data folder.

What gives? Anyway to enable this without having to using Android commander etc...

Is this a feature of Omega rom that Slimbean is missing?

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
The Nexus 7 mounts as MTP. You will not have access to certain directories. The Note 2 is mounting as USB mass storage, it seems.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roligov:
Thanks, possible to mount the Nexus 7 as a USB mass storage device? What determines how it's mounted?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roligov:
I seem to have found the answer in another thread:

I'm guessing it's the same with the Nexus 7 and it's an "emulated" sdcard?

Awesome job guys, it was great to see this in development and finally finished. And THANK YOU for the DevHost mirror, its way faster than too... I'm getting between 5-10Mb/s
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] HTC_Vivid:
Hey I'm downloading it right now and I'm wondering if the ROM still has low call volume problems?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] theslam08:
Wooow, I really thought this phone had no more hope (excluding the dev thread). And here it is...nice work everyone that put in the time. We all GREATLY appreciate it.

Time to test this out and report some bugs.

Thank you again!!!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
Seems like I can barley hear voicemail so I would say yes...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] switchy85:
I'm assuming that's being dealt with in those kernel changes that were hinted about in the OP. Can't wait to test this out. :D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
It hasn't been fixed the entire time CM10 has been out... So if these guys find a fix I would be amazed!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Sultanxda:
Don't get your hopes up :( I've already tried fixing it many times in the kernel without any luck.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] frankieGom:
Excellent news! Going to bed to word of "I don't know what else to try" and waking up to a new thread and a fully functional ROM!!!

May I be so bold and ask what the last missing but was for getting WiFi working?

Big thanks in any case to all, known and unknown, that participated so far.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
Some firmware was missing for it. As far as I know.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] frankieGom:
Thanks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] WildfireDEV:
Well flashed it on my phone and it is awesome. Get ready for the flood of 4.2 ported roms. Already working on two rom ports from the HTC Sensation just need to finalize and get permission from the devs hopefully will have booting roms up by Friday as I am going on a holiday.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] theslam08:
After some quick initial testing, it appears everything in OP WORKING list, WORKS :).

Data, SD, Wifi, Sound, and more. Seems VERY snappy too. Ohh some really good work
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] l0000l:
Thanks guys for your great work :thumbup:

One question 1080p video can be played with hardware playback ? Cm10 can't do this
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] WildfireDEV:
Only bug that I find is that it takes quite a long time to wake up the screen compared to cm10.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bruce7373:
Since this is 4.2.2, will BaNkS Gapps will work OK?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] camo_flage:
Can't wait to flash :D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bruce7373:
I see there's still the issue of CM not mounting the external sdcard when USB connected that exists with CM 10. I was hoping things would be different with 4.2.2, but apparently not. The workaround is to go into Recovery and mount it there, then connect. So this must be a CM issue, since the problem doesn't exist with PAC (4.1.2). Or maybe how CM works with the Vivid. Anyone have any idea?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] frankieGom:
If the APN list remains empty, check that MCC/MNC fields are set to correct values for your operator when adding an APN. If they remain empty it means the phone did not read the SIM properly (it uses the info from the SIM to display the list of predefined APNs for your operator).

Try to reinsert it or to reboot the phone.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
If you have no APNs it means you have no service which is the bug . Turn airplane mode on then off and you will gain service AND APNs will be added
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] frankieGom:
Is this how it is coded, really?

As an aside, and for my information, anyone knows where the network attach procedures are implemented in the CM codebase? I see something weird in the way APNs are used for LTE initial attach and would like to have a look...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pitpit24:
Awesome benchmark!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
Bro do you even quadrant ?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] theslam08:
The bug happened to me when booting with WiFi on and connect to a router. Will try the airplane trick, thanks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] albinoman887:
use a different video player

To the battery people. please keep that sh*t out of here. go read my pyramid thread. you will see my stance on battery drain. its a Q&A question. your using the same kernel the shooter and pyramid are using. they dont have wakelocks or anything so neither should the vivid. yes your battery is going to be worse then the last builds beccuase I FORGOT TO ENABLE MPDECISION you were only running on 1 core. thats why you had such great battery

The sim card thing is odd. just hit back for now. and if you dont have service toggle airplane. i'll look it over tonight/tomorrow. i'm gonna be on the road a bit tomorrow though (going somewhere for the 4th) but i'll have my laptop still

The soft reboots is an issue i already know about. your probably gonna keep having them til i can get pmem memory remapped in the kernel. i had to do the same for the pyramid. basically there is a thing called pmem sf that software uses for some memory stuff (graphics, cached textx, etc) and it has a fixed growth size. its set to 32 mb in kernel right now as it was on pyramid. this is ok on 4.1 but 4.2 needs more. so it needs to be bumped to 64. but then everything around it (framebuffer, writeback buffer) need to be moved. i have it "working" with 64 mb but the device only shows 597 mb of ram in about phone. if i try and give it more ram for userspace we end up with a black screen like the june 30 build. so its gonna be a bit since i have to rely on billibox for testing. and its just a pain in the a** (lots of hex math)

Anyways. i'll be back later with any updates
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] camo_flage:
I have the Rogers variant of the Vivid and I never had the sim card problem
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] erics:
I have never had the SIM card issue and i am using an ATT vivid

Also to those who are complaining about battery I have almost 2 hours on battery and I am still at 99% (with close to 20 minutes of screen time)

I will say that i never use Wifi, so maybe that is where the drain comes from?

Once again awesome work Albinoman!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] WildfireDEV:
I am using the Telstra version of the Vivid and I have no sim card problems neither do I have battery problems. Battery life is way better than CM10 in my case.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] camo_flage:
Check what your CPU is clocked at
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] eliaslear:
on straightalk on att network. i did all wipes with twrp 2,4 then clean install. everything went great. no sim card crap or reboots.i had to manually add apn settings but that's because straightalk uses secondary network settings. it actually preloaded several att apn settings. volume is increased but still not adjustable. great work guys for finally making this happen on vivid (even though i caved and went to samsung). the long fight is finally calm for you devs.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] albinoman887:
yeah i jumped to samsung too, (steve's fault lol)

so who actually DOES have the sim card thing? and the airplane toggle thing. more info the better.

Also anyone having a crapload of soft reboots when getting texts or anything? it was a problem in sensation i had to fix.

ALso people who are having the sim or airplane toggle issue. open your buid.prop and delete the whole #Holiday RIL section. its like 10 or 15 lines. see what happens. expariement. i dont think all those settings are required anymore
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] theslam08:
My SIG has all my info.

I have AT&T BRANDED phone but unlocked and ON T-Mobile service. I had SIM network error first boot, first flash but not the next flash I did. But just hitting the back button works fine, not sure why that pops up if just hitting the back button is ok.

I also narrowed down the no data after reboot. Just turn OFF WiFi before you reboot and data/cell service is fine after.

And 7/02 seems VERY snappy :). Really loving it. Nice work, ty!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
I have mine set @ 1.7ghz and I can get battery stats like this...

I already told you :P CPU OC doesn't matter THAT much @ batterylife on this device..

I've actually tested this because i had low battery and tried saving it.. put the min to the lowest and the max @ 1ghz powersave.. phone was laggy as hell and STILL ran out of battery just as fast as 1.7ghz ondemand
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] albinoman887:
ok thanks for the info on tmobile...that will help narrow it down. too bad i dont have the phone lol i'm on t-mobile

As for the Wifi thing thats a werid one. probably a permissions thing somewhere. i'm gonna be on the road today, (going on vacation, but i'll have my laptop) so develpment will be a little slower for the next 5 days
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
I'll test the build up on here. Current build i have now i get the message on soft reboot. and I'm on AT&T
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] camo_flage:
Doesn't your phone get hot?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] NWinfuse:
No sim card displays for me at reboot on 7/2 build but goes away on its own if I let the phone sit for 30-45 seconds. Not sure if this the sim card issue everyone is talking about. I don't consider it an problem as it sorts itself out quickly. The only other issue I have is that I cannot get widgets to place on homescreens, message displays stating "not enough room on this page"
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] djinn5150:
Been running the 7/2 version of this rom for a lil over 24 hours now. ATT variant, wiped system, dalvik, data, and battery stats. came from cm10

Governor: Badass

Min CPU: 384

Max CPU: 1512

First charge battery went pretty quick after that stats seem to be pretty accurate and getting decent life currently 3hrs on battery still 63% mostly being drained by cell standby( I have low service levels at home). I run greenify to kill facebook and maps when not in use, I also have tasker set to kill bluetooth and gps when I am at home.

I have gotten a few soft reboots, a few times I get force closes of system.ui

Maybee three times during a reboot i get the sim card issue, back out and everything connects up just fine.

Call volume is very low for me, speakerphone or regular speaker. From what I can tell have not had any mic problems, volume issue is only on my end. Haven't tried headphones yet, audio seem very overdriven on media as well, if i turn up over half volume i get a lot of distortion, turned bass way down using dsp and seems to help. (I plan on doing a clean install to see if this takes care of it)

All in all its running very well, very responsive. None of these issues are enough for me to not use it as a daily driver(yet, call volume may become a problem for me).

Otherwise GREAT WORK!!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] albinoman887:
when you say soft reboot do you mean an un-scheduled ramdon reboot your u hitting reboot on the phone

to the person with the homescreen propblem. go into lsettings launcher and play around with your homescreen grid size. let me know what value works. i'll set it as default
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] calikevin:
Albinoman, I hate to post this and thread hijack but could you maybe point me in the right direction to help me fix the issues I have with slim bean before you leave for vacation? APNs won't save and external and internal storage don't show up in File Manager.. It was ported from the sensation if that info helps at all.. Muchly appreciated good sir (:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
cooler than normal unless im playing a game and charging

Android 4.2.2 Discussion thread for a bunch of those posts that aren't rom related.

Hmmmm.. I wonder how high this device can go :P [MENTION=637426]quadrant[/MENTION]
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] NWinfuse:
Playing with grid size made no difference, I tried everything from 4 by 4 all the way up 6 by 6 including every combination in between.

Edit: it appears grid size was a factor for some widgets. A few worked while others of the same size didn't, odd issue. Most would not work until I sized up to 5 by 6 or 6 by 6. With the previous build this issue did not seem to exist
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] theslam08:
Just try a different launcher. I am using Apex and have 0 launcher problems.

I have almost no problems with this build (07/02) besides the one little issue of the WiFi needs to be turned off before restarting (for me anyway).
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Mr_Random:
I read the posts about battery life/cpu oc... but anyways, I can't get values other than 1566 to stick. My phone benefited from 1350 or so on cm10, I'd like to try it again on 10.1...

That and I'm getting shell reboots when I basically just push too many buttons too quickly or something...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] NWinfuse:
I know I could use a different launcher but I shouldn't have to as this was not an issue on the previous build. Also, I actually prefer trebuchet launcher anyway.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] albinoman887:
your the only one. but if you must. try the trebuchet.apk from the old build and see a difference
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] calikevin:
Sir albinoman, do you recall how the SD cards not showing up was fixed? We are having a few issues getting our ports fully operational and would greatly appreciate your input on the matter (:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] NWinfuse:
I did another clean install and the problem is fixed

Not sure what happened the first couple of times I flashed as everything but widgets was perfect but Rom seems to be running great now.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] frankieGom:
More on this...

I have been able to test it a little deeper, so just in case it helps identify what the trouble would be with SIM cards, here it is:

I happen to have access to SIM cards from work for test purposes. They do not allow registration to any live network (the cyphering keys are the wrong ones), only test benches at work. If I use one of these, a network search will return a blank list.

With that SIM, going into the APN menu, I can add any APN of my liking and it will stick. As long as this SIM, or a similar one, is in the phone.And when adding the APN, the MCC/MNC fields are automatically, and correctly, filled in.

I have seen instances where APN would not stick. Each and every time the MCC/MNC data would be blank and I would have to add it myself. And each and every time, after playing a bit with reboots and extracting the SIM, the APNs would reappear (including duplicates when I'd created the same one several times!).

The list of APNs your phone has access to depends on the SIM inserted in the phone, not the network you're registered on. And you do not need to be registered on any network to set the APN on the phone. I know, I've just done it. ;)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] albinoman887:
Check my github. If your just doing a poet not a compile from source I don't know how it will go but u basically need my ramsisk and cold.fstab. and the boot IMG needs to use the init binary packed with mine you can find it in the vendor htc repo. Check the op for my github link

I think I got the vold.fstab and ramdisk figured out, but what do you mean by using the init binary packed with yours... Which files would those be?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] albinoman887:
look here: https://github.com/Team-Hydra/android_vendor_htc/commit/356f9691a3e77b0aba1651cb765870695357e231

and here: https://github.com/Team-Hydra/android_vendor_htc/commit/fefbec2c91967114dd4b6aadbfd4a00fb902d692

the boot.img has an executable called init within it. this is how the system starts up. without this binary nothing would start. usually its compiled from source during rom build. for some reason the one in the cm10.1 source doesnt work as is. i had to revert a couple things. so i have it in my vendor repo so it just overrides the compiled version. Now since your doing a port i'm not sure if your compiling...? if thats the case then you need to take the boot.img from my rom and extract it with rom kitchen or something. grab the init binary. and repack it into your boot.img that you are using.

It's probably gralloc running out of memory.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
Is that something I can fix?

Or do I just wait?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Sultanxda:
Unfortunately, wait. Surfaceflinger needs more memory allocated to it but by allocating more memory to it we need to offset all the other memory allocations for other onboard devices, else it won't boot or it'll boot and cause reboots.

Using another device's memory map isn't an option either (unless you want to lose 300MB of RAM).
