Question on rom OTA update

Hi Surdu

First a big thanks for your time and effort on that rom. I've been using CM on other phones for ages, and your 2/7/2014 rom is my first try of OmniRom ... and it's very cool as well.

I was wondering two things:

1. Since your build is not a official one from omnirom.org, are we supposed to use the OTA built-in update mechanism or to update our roms via the new updates you could (could or ... will :confused:) post on this forum?

2. Have you already discussed with the omnirom team to plan to make this rom the official one for the P6 ?

Big thank again for your efforts for the P6

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] surdu_petru:
Hello !

As I already said many times in this forum, unfortunately we cannot bring officially rom for our device because lack of source code for our k3v2oem1/vivante chip !

Also you can take a look here . Thanks for understanding !
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] KrissSo:
What's a quick answer!

Does that mean we should disable omnirom's OTA update on our devices?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] surdu_petru:
Thank you very much Dennis Köpp for your donations :o

Donations are greatly appreciated but never expected !

hi to everyone,

i am new to the P6 (P1 before) and looking into a couple of roms. your omnirom is the best so far as i can tell. however i find some issues, maybe it is just me, or maybe there is others experiencing the same problems, anyway i just would like to address them so you might be able to have a look into this and fix em or give me a suggestion on how to fix them myself.

- cannot even switch on BT

- whatsapp issue: when trying to change ot set a group picture, whatsapp crashes

then here are some suggestions:

- REALLY MISSING THE TONE+VIBRATION TOGGLE IN QUICK SETTINGS (to mute your phone or set to vibration only)

- would be nice if it was possible to have a different background on the lock- and homescreen

- maybe a battery icon with percentage?

and last but not least a question. i've read many posts, blogs etc. on the kitkat storage issue, anyhow i would like to know if anybody here has some sort of workaround, otherwise you run out of storage pretty quickly :)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] tauio111:
Go to Battery submenu in Settings menu and you will be able to change the battery icon type there.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] liquidor:
:good: thanks for info :)

another question: I am on B510 and then installed Omni ROM on top of this. how can i go back to previous FW now, for example B120 or B125? when trying to upgrade (downgrade) i always get:

.....

Checking Module SYSTEM ...

Huawei SD card update fail......

......

FAIL

How to flash back original huawei rom?

Hi,

I installed omnirom (2/7/2014, kitkat) + twrp 2.7.1 and would like to come back to the huawei rom (jellybean or kitkat) - omnirom is very nice but this change back is required for other reason.

Could anybody tell me how to do and which file could I download (I deleted my rom backups...).

Thanks in advance

Kriss
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] klincharov:
I can't do anything with TWRP_installer nor the Huawei toolkit. I just get the 'device not found error'. But If i restart the phone to recovery, then I can. It's frustrating, anyway I can fix it ?

And my power button stopps working for some reason until the screen locks itself automatically. I also have problems with turning Wifi on...

I might need to reinstall everything. How would be the most proper way to do that ?

edit: I think I should downgrade with the special downgradefile.app to b125, then update OTA to B510 and then reinstall Omni, right ? No standalone update.app/zip for B510 ?

еdit2: did the clean install. so far so good.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Timi91:
Hey surdu :)

Cool rom again, I can't go back to another one.

If you have time can you please check why our p6 never reach 1.5ghz?

Cause everything is awesome except for my own personal ego benchs haha. Thank you again
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] surdu_petru:
Hello !

Yes, I know your request - unfortunately at this time I cannot do anything . A likely solution would be the moment when Huawei will release the kernel source code for KitKat !
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] alex61194:
Surdu thx for you work, i have a issue with your rom the firts day with the rombis really fast but after that is extremely slow i don't know why, please help

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] surdu_petru:
Thank you very much to Boris Jockin for donation :o

Thanks !

Already used for more days - I honestly for me was always like on the first install .

Was installed on clean and added only Gapps .

May be for several reasons, one would be to use the framework xposed ...

Please make a test for a few days on clean install and only with Gapps to see what happened .

Good luck !

Edit :

To try a solution faster - but not 100% sure - please go to twrp and wipe only Cache & Dalvik-cache !
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] alex61194:
Already try it the wipe, the issue comes when i use my backup from titanium backup

Enviado desde mi P6-U06 mediante Tapatalk
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] surdu_petru:
Yep, well now you have found the solution !

I never used this utility to backup - and also you're not the only one who report issue after restore backup .

This does not mean that Titanium Backup has some issues, but rather believe that there exist some applications that do not like OmniROM :D
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] alex61194:
Better no backup huh? Well i will try it ty

Reminder...
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] stuntmanmike82:
Love this Rom.

Only problem i have is that when i want to play a video it always takes several seconds till it starts. And stopping too. Is this a bug or only my problem?

With stock it was smoother and faster. But only in Video Playback. In everything else this amazing Rom is unbeatable.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] surdu_petru:
Please check if Dolby Digital Plus is enabled !
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Nothing4You:
Do you happen to be stopping dolby? It's required for smooth playback
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] stuntmanmike82:
Thanks a lot.

I disabled it and now it works great.

Why is it part of the Rom when it makes problems?

And will there be an update based on b511?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] tauio111:
It's the other way around actually. Disabling or removing the Dolby audio will trigger the delay bug.

With Dolby audio enabled the delay bug is gone.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] stuntmanmike82:
Thats kind of different for me.

When disabled some movies especially on homepages are much faster and some dont work.

When enabled everything works but starting and stopping the video needs some time.

Hello,

I was running OmniROM 4.4.4 02/07/2014 on my P6 for about two weeks with no issues, but yesterday device couldnt start - stucked with android logo (not frozen, animated whole the time till device goes off cause of drained battery).

Using twrp 2.7.1.0, but unable to reflash device again (with any ROM) - getting I/O error when trying to do any wipe

device is still working with adb, so I hope that there is still chance to get it working - can anyone help me please?

Thank you

Thanks :)

You are a really great developer for our phone and have deserved your vacation days ;)

I will try the new version tomorrow
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] liquidor:
Hey surdu,

Really nice work, everything runs really smooth so far. Just two little things which bother me and maybe you can add/change them in your next release :)

1. I'm desperately missing a ringer mode tile in the quick settings like the one from CM where you can quickly change between Silent / Vibration /Tone

2. The Gallery apk has white background and grey font which isn't ideal?! When I choose a picture in whatsapp ie it's is "normal" black background which is much better

Enjoy your vacation! Well deserved :D
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Nothing4You:
Is the selection when you hold the power button not enough?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] liquidor:
I know there are other ways to silent your phone, i just like this tile best :)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] cpx07:
Hello guys, how is battery life on this new update? Thanks
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] stuntmanmike82:
Thanks!

But when i try to change a picture gallery stops. Does not work anymore.

And should i try art or stay with dalvik? Whats better?

The Rest is running very smooth.

[emoji2][emoji106]
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Til96:
If you swipe in the quicksettings on the volume tile you can set the vibration and sound off and etc.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] liquidor:
Thanks [emoji106]

I am also encountering problems with whatsapp. Cannot send any pictures. Tried sending it directly with whatsapp camera, via share function from gallery and by selecting it from gallery within whatsapp... Any ideas?

Also i cannot download any media in whatsapp [emoji30]
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] _heisenberg:
Backup Internal Storage, then wipe it. Then restore backup
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] liquidor:
thanks for the answer! twrp doesnt give the option of backing up the internal storage so i just copy the content to my external sd, wipe and the copy the content back to internal?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] S_Sonic:
Great rom I love it. But only one thing: when I set the alarm and turn off the phone it does't automatically boots to ring the alarm, can you fix that?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] stuntmanmike82:
Thats not possible!

When phone is off it is off.

Try flightmode and Alarm works.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] jynkky:
Well, I think that battery life could be better. Today I have taken about 20 pics, recorded 2min of video (synced pics and vids to google+), received few emails and used chrome less than 10 mins. This is my first custom rom installation with this device so I don't know is it good or bad compared to other custom roms.

And I think this was just light use, so even with medium use the battery could end before the day ends.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] liquidor:
using this rom for two days now and i experience some wifi troubles. lossing wifi connection quite often and then have to disable and reenable wifi
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Hongrois123:
I think your initial problem might be - like in my case the previous camera app had not been removed somehow during the update. I simply deleted the camera2.apk from system/app.... check if its there for you
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] jevtabg:
Can some themes be applied directly, or I need to install some other launcher ?

I saw someone wrote with xposed, but how ?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Til96:
Yes, for example I have installed an Android L theme which is a module itself so you don't need a theme module for activating it.

http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/xposed-android-l-theme-t2803003

It is not in development anymore so the quicksettings are still normal.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] ahk31:
You can also try XThemeEngine or HKThemeManager. There are a lot of themes available.

No GPS fix

I installed the new update and restored my data via TWRP.

I can´t get a GPS fix. I tried it without restoring the data and than GPS works but with restoring it just won´t....

Any ideas?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Arjen:
And what if you backup and restore with Titanium Backup?

Guess you are restoring some faulty stuff from the previous rom with TWRP, or just flash the new build over the previous one, that should work too.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Killerbockwurst:
If I restore with Titanium Backup it works fine, GPS fix in about 5sec, but than I cannot install Xposed framework because it says:

copy recovery-disable-xposed-zip

recovery-disable-xposed-zip can not be unpacked

If you have a solution for that (I couldn´t find smth googling) I will do that.

Xposed framework is more important for me than GPS :)

This ROM is working as it has to. I only have 1 problem. Maybe I have missed out on this in the thread, but I can not copy and or paste nothing on the internal SD. My whatsapp do not permit to download pictures and the camera wont let me save picture if the file path is set on the internal SD.

Any solution(s)?

Thanks to any helping me out.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] ahk31:
Wiping internal storage in TWRP will solve your problem. All the information there will be lost. So make a backup first. Or copy it on the external SD card.

Anyone know why my network indicator is showing this every time I don't have a signal?

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Keviio:
I get very good photos.

I recommend you all to install Camera360 to get good photos.

And the stock camera of KitKat is good at taking videos.

I don't know why you're not satisfied.

If you don't like it, then say that once, but don't tell others it to be worse than it is! [MENTION=1548853]87insane[/MENTION]

If you're this dissatisfied then why do you still own this device? You just don't know how to handle a smartphone as I think.

But enough off-topic!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] 87insane:
Hi,

I think this is the wrong channel to discuss about it.

I want to explain myself still short.

If someone says that he wants to use the phone mainly for photos, you can also tell him not that the P6 is optimal for it.

It's like you said in objects that do not move good photos and macro shots are also good. BUT defenitiv it is not suitable for party pictures or the like. Try to take a photo with the original app at night with the flash to AUTO. This works almost never correct.

I personally use the P6 but not primarily as a photo camera. Which is why the P6 in all other points for me is optimal.

Your last sentence I will ignore. Find that it is a very bold statement.

Greatz,

87Insane
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Keviio:
You're right, but...

You think the stock camera is not that good, especially the automatic part is bad as I must agree.

I recommend you to install a camera app from the play store, most of them handle the flash better and so on.

I'm sorry, I was a bit raged up because of an argument.

Everybody talks about Camera-issue and I think its kinda hard to fix, because the camera-server isn't working, but how about the battery-led-issue, do you know how to fix this ?

Shouldn't be such a big problem like the cam ?

In additon, could you please resync github ?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] tauio111:
Should be easy to fix.

[MENTION=2335078]surdu_petru[/MENTION] try this

In p6-omnirom / device / huawei / hwp6_u06 / overlay / frameworks / base / core / res / res / values / config.xml add this

<bool name="config_intrusiveBatteryLed">true</bool>
<bool name="config_multiColorBatteryLed">true</bool>

Multicolor for red,orange and green led, since our led is missing the blue colour this shouldnt be a problem to enable.
