Okay i replaced the weather app with Emui 2.3 app. I knew all the while the weather app on emui2.0 was old but later on i got confused and left it as such. But now i replaced and, oh yes, it is a new one on Emui 2.3. The weather app on emui2.3 has the flat minimalist style animations and i like it.

But unfortunately the transparent weather widget still remains with the sun all the time and does not change. I guess extracting the me widget from the latest firmware of Huawei 3x/3c is only chance .

Edit: actually the widgets are working fine. I tried switching to a city in another country and the widget animation switched to the right one. The problem i think is with the app obtaining the wrong information of the weather in my particular city. The weather is described as sunny even though the animation within the app are night, and so the widget shows the sunny animations. The information is being collected from zh.weather.com. Is there a way to change that so that it collects weather from elsewhere ?

Also tried replacing System manager, as the one on Emui2.3 is newer. But it FCs when accessing "networked apps" and also when exiting system manager and settings.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] miz_pimp:
My weather widget also always stays with the sun, even at night, and my weather source is AccuWeather.com.

To change it to AccuWeather.com, I changed my build.prop language and locale to "en" and "GB".

Now I know not to swap the system manager with the EMUI2.3 one. Thanks!

The major one : The cursor doesn't appear in the search box of Google play and some other apps ( command line in zooper widget for example ) . At least it appears in the sms app and the browser.

Okay i changed the build prop and my weather is connected to accuweather, but yet the data coming from that site too is wrong, so my widget continues to show a fixed sunny animation, while switching to other citys with different weather, the widget animation changes fine. So its clearly a problem with the data coming from these websites and not widget.

And yea swapping system manager is a bad idea. I got FC and even after replacing it back with the original system manager i still get FCs. Do you have a way to fix that without factory reset ?

Also regarding the shortcuts in notification panel, it was mentioned that this was something enabled within the apk. But does there exist a separate apk just for these shortcuts ? Because even though we ported the suspend button, yet those apks did not enable the shortcut. which means the shortcuts are not enabled using the app apk and there might be separate apk for that which we could port ?

Vroot worked fine. I used the latest Chinese vroot posted earlier in this thread by another user. But i didnt get it right the first time as the chinese language gave me no clue of whats going on. So i ended up trying the English app and i got an idea of what is happening and then tried Chinese one succesfully

If you have Titanium Backup installed, go to the list of your apps, go to Phone Manager, then click on it and select Wipe Data, then slide to the right tab, to "Clear cache".

Wow nice. I am able to use the phone manager from Emui2.3 itself now and the FC problem stops by doing what you mentioned here.

There is also an extra apk on Emui2.3 called powersavingmode which is not present in emui2.0. I ported that too without problems but i don't know whats new because i don't remember all the details of the power saving settings on emui2.0.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] miz_pimp:
AND now it gives the option to close the apps when it's power intensive! :D

I'm not sure about the powersaving apk though, but I didn't add that.

Also I got the photo editor of the 2.3 gallery working by adding a few lib files from emui2.3.

I still get an FC after watching a video in the gallery, but it's only when I close the gallery. I can't figure out which lib file I'm missing though, so I'm hoping to figure that out soon.

Another thing I found out earlier is that when changing the build.prop locale entry to anything other than "CN", the call log doesn't delete anything, and when pressing the arrow key to view more info about a call, nothing happens. I normally wouldn't mind leaving it as CN, but then the country name shows in Chinese. :(

Miz and Warea ...could us take the notification bar apk of emui 2.3 and install like app system on emui 2.0 ? ?

Would be good if that works !

Do you think ?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] miz_pimp:
I have thought about that, and I'm assuming it could work to replace the SystemUI.apk, but I find the emui2.0 SystemUI less buggy than Emui2.3. If the flashlight and suspend button can be added to emui2.0, that would be awesome!

I did replace the System UI yesterday. And it is not compatible. The UI is slow and also i seen some graphical errors when showing notification in notification panel. It didnt add any new function either.

I also replaced the settings.apk the day before that, but no extra changes i noticed. It was compatible though.

So im still wondering where exactly the option for notification shortcuts are located.

Also MOJTABA mentioned the camera of Emui2.3 had more options. But i dont know what to port to get the camera of Emui2.3. I noticed though that the camera of emui2.0 has the extra function of taking pictures by noise level (and not just saying "cheeze"). It also has the vertical panorama mode, but that isn't so useful. I still have to make my mind on the picture quality. [MENTION=614645]mojtaba[/MENTION] do you know which are the additional camera functions in emui2.3 ?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] miz_pimp:
The extra notification panel icons will only show after doing a factory reset. The icons are definitely within the SystemUI.apk.

From what I can see, there are two extra options that can be toggled: touch and hold to burst, and volume buttons.

These are the lib files I used to get the Photo editor working in the gallery:

I haven't been able to get the video editor to work though, and that is what I really want!

BIG THANKS, warea, you've find best solution (for me, of course) for rooting B506... ;)

I've used before Vroot english version w/out succes... But after read your post and search for chinese version of Vroot, I've installed last one in same directory as previous (english) version, launched a new root action and... ¡¡Voilá!! It's rooted, now w/out hassles.

I've read here that it's best to change the chinese superuser version to other... In your opinion, between SuperSU (Chainfire), Superuser (ChainsDD) or Superuser (ClockworkMod) what's better?.

default.prop

Guys,

When I plug the phone to USB, it uses USB Mass Storage by default. I would prefer MTP.

However, even if I check "do not remind me", MTP never stays the default.

After a little research, I found that this setting was set via /default.prop

So I would like to change the following line from

persist.sys.usb.config=modem,nmea,[B]mass_storage[/B],adb,diag,default_mode

to

persist.sys.usb.config=modem,nmea,[B]mtp[/B],adb,diag,default_mode

I managed to edit this file (not easy to overcome default rights)

But after a reboot, the file is overwritten :(

So this file edition should instead be done on boot.img

And this part is far more tricky.

Does somebody has knowledge about this operation ?

Maybe, this is the wrong topic to discuss about ?...

The update policy for intentional was changed last year itself. Thats why we dont see any new international firmware updates coming. We only see regional versions, which are then leaked to us. So i doubt there is going to a single international version of kitkat and would instead be left to the hand of Huawei's regional departments. So you have to ask and push their regional heads to bring updates.

ps - our phone is running emulated Android and they don't want to develop anything else because it's worth MONEY!

Or maybe they are being restricted by Vivante ?

But we had a user here on Xda who had contacts with some developers for Huawei and that developer was said to be working on upgrading kernel for K3v2. But don't know what happened of that and whether they ditched the project.

Also weird is that even the leaked screenshot and antutu pics of P7 show that they are still using 3.0.8 kernel for the kirin 910. And this further confirmed by the Mediapad M1 and X1 which uses the kirin 910 having the 3.0.8 kernel. So far then we have yet to see any of the HiSilicon chip device using a higher kernel.

I don't understand why noone here hasn't mentioned a specific problem that all the owners of P6 have mentioned in my country's local forum :

All of us ( in my country with P6 of different European regions ) face a problem with the cursor : When we try to write something in the search fields of Google Play for example or in the internet browser, the vertical line of the cursor doesn't show up. It shows up only when writing an sms. This is why i uninstalled the Chinese version and never installed it again. In my opinion it's not a minor problem but a big one. If you write something and want to correct a letter, you don't know where the cursor is at that moment.

So it's not only the problem with the Chinese characters of incoming calls. Don't you have the problem with the cursor ?

The problem is that all the apps that do not show the cursor, are blocked in China, BUT the cursor showed everywhere in the Chinese B118 and B120, so I'm not exactly sure what they changed to hide the cursor in KitKat. My issue with this is that they know that international users use the Chinese updates, so why not allow the cursor to show anyway?
