Yes, I tried everything with the kernel Huawei got me, however since its barely openable, and configurable, I needed a good kernel to start with.

So, I'll follow what you said, I'll extract a boot.img from one of your latest frimwares.

Point is make the phone a bit faster with OC and add some governors with a better battery life. Hell maybe even get 10-20MB free ram if possible.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] :
Don't waste your time with OC, but sure, a governor like smartass should improve performance. To have zRAM capabilities would be great in this device too. But, really, if you can, contribute with messi's device tree. There are bugs that needs patching, it is so close to be in a beta stage.
[General Questions and Answers] VisualTech48:
CENTSOARER could you take a moment and upload the boot.img if you can. I'm testing something with my phone, so until I revert I can't do nothing. 2-3 days to be correct.

And are you sure about OC, because OC like it stands, OverClock - Goes over the processor capabilities, even a plus value of 200 would mean actually 400 so its a great deal.

And yes, my main goal is to insert Smartass to improve stability and performace, however zRAM is hard to achive on such a heavy kernel as Huawei's as the complicate everything they can.

[MENTION=5232707]CENTSOARER[/MENTION] hi buddy.. Please give me MORE themes like you gave ME on that day..... lollipop theme.... Also this theme have no app drawer why?

Please give me alot themes which change the system ui.

Also i use B509. What is new in b515?
[General Questions and Answers] :
It is very tedious to create an EMUI 1.6 theme, I just found out today. I'm sorry to tell you but there are not a lot of themes like that, I just made it a little better, but you will have to install B515 modded firmware to see it yourself. I just edited the B515 modded firmware post, there you will find more information, in general this firmware boosts performance, UI, 3G connection, sound and RAM management.

[General Questions and Answers] VisualTech48:
Hi everyone, let me point out that from the kernel I found out our freq is in sys/devices/system/cpu, there we have 2 cores cpu0 and cpu1 with addition folders cpufreq, cpuidle, cpupower. There are some kernel stuff there, so I'll check them out, because I think something could be there.

I got the info from BOOT.img from CENTSOARER, in file init.qcom.factory, where it seems to load some CPU info. The files are not located in the BOOT.img, so I'll extract it today, and see what is possible to do, as my focus is putting the Smartass V2 governer. Wish me luck.

EDIT: These are current thing of the kernel, as this is a huawei phone It is a bit complicated then I tought, looks like back to boot.img. I can't find any of the governers in the kernel.

I'm going to install unbuntu, as I downloaded the kernel source. Its almost impossible and too risky to go with the boot.img, with this I'll try my best to compile the kernel, and try to put the Smartass V2 governer. Reporting back in a few days!

Hei, [MENTION=5232707]CENTSOARER[/MENTION] please post your hwtoolbox please
[General Questions and Answers] PieroV:
Hi, you'll need a cross compiler too...

After you'll have created the kernel you can replace it directly using some tools (pack and unpack boot.img, I think they're a pair of bash script which needs some other tools you can download from Cyanogen repository). Maybe you'll need to replace Huawei modules with yours, and if you do this mind particular attention to wlan...

I warn you: in kernel compatibility between versions isn't guaranted and Huawei patches governor, too, as I remember.

When you add a file, you have to add it to Kbuild and Makefiles...

And last note: you'll need an app to modify governors, too. Cyanogenmod includes this in "Performance" in Settings, whereas Huawei doesn't.

[MENTION=5232707]CENTSOARER[/MENTION] : I've finally tried your last work! :good:

It works very well.

I think I've understood some swap problems: SuperSU by default enables a security feature to isolate root and filesystem, therefore you won't be able to access files from SD card. This is also for swapon, my favourite way to enable swap :)

I've had some problems to get root on ADB shell, but I've enabled multi-user and then I've got su on ADB, too.

Congrats to [MENTION=263745]cubi[/MENTION]93 for the theme, too, it's really nice!

Last news from CM11: messi2050 did a great work, however no wlan and no modem yet...

I have a build from yesterday, but there are some problems: frequent reboots and trebuchet doesn't work...
[General Questions and Answers] VisualTech48:
Good news guyz! I have managed to extract the "frickin" huawei kernel. Its a 500mb extract, took 3 hours, but we have it all. All the governers where they should be, so adding a new shouldn't be a problem.

Wish me luck. Here is an screen of the governers!

[General Questions and Answers] himister:
Just a little update about DOWNGRADE. So far I can say it's possible via Partition Backup & Restore app. It's free on G market.

I managed to downgrade the firmware from B515 to B183 but there was a price to pay...sort of speak...I screwed the IMEI on other Y530.

So before any kind of modding two things that every noob should do is to unlock bootloader and make a backup of non system partitions.

This app is kinda buggy and doesn't cooperate well with SuperSU so I used only Towelroot2, doesn't require internet conection for root access.

Partitions backup is possible only on internal SD, it want change to extSD but that was sufficient for backup thE ''odd'' partitions.

Made a backup from first y530 and flashed onto the 2nd. I avoided the modem partitions but that's the catch...these are not EFS IMEI so I made a mistake.

I know this was a foolish attempt and costly one, but sacrifices must be made. I hope I will manage to restore the IMEI and any input would be welcome.

these are the onces I flashed, and succesfuly restored B183 via dload:

-ABOOT

-BKBOOTUP

-FSC

-FSG

-LOG

-OEMINFO

-PERSIST

-SBL

-TZ

I'll investigate further so DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS until we know more and without prior made backup of all partitions.

Please be careful, while at the begining I was trying to build a HwToolBox.apk, in the end I managed to bundle it into the overall theme so this HwToolBox.apk, while should be working, it is not tested. Perform a backup and don't forget permissions (TIP: copy to /system, set permissions, from /system move to /system/app).

my phone build number is b511 now.

thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Kombuk:
I think its b515
[General Questions and Answers] VisualTech48:
Probably some of you are wondering how is the progress.

Well I'll be short as I'm here, sittng and trying to make the toolchain work.

That is the main issue now, as I want it to work so the job with not just adding governers but everything else would be a lot easier. Now, I did placed the governer and it is the real smartass V2, however compiling the kernel I do not want to do now, as it is not done. Issues with toolchail like I mentioned is the key.

Anyway, PIEROV, if you know this, I tried LINERO Cross_Compile, but it doesn't seem to work. When i go and make the build config (last step after making A)

export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=/toolchains/bin/arm-gnueabi-

Then to make the config I wrote down

make Y530_defconfig

It doesn't work, says it can't make them... Or is it already there, so I just need to modify it by

make menuconfig
[General Questions and Answers] :
Hi guys. I've been digging in performance for stock firmware and as Visual is working on smartassv2 governor and other things, I am struggling with battery gains derived from CPU hotpluging.

I have a question for you: Is MPDecision worth in this dual core device?

MPDecision is Qualcomm's CPU hotplug implementation and is a great feature in theory because it turns off those cores your system is not really using, so, if you have a lot of cores you save a lot of battery life. But we have only two cores and they are being used almost all the time. The top command keeps mpdecision threads always as high as surfaceflinger and now that we know Y530's kernel was built too for other quad core devices I keep myself questioning if mpdecision is worth keeping in our device. In the meantime I have disabled it and while bpth cores are always on, the phone feels cooler than before.

[General Questions and Answers] spiritflare:
no SD card after using towelroot

Was able to install geohot towelroot and successfully root the Huawei Y530. After i installed SuperSU and it was fine.

Tried using some root apps and works fine.

But i noticed now that downloading any file results in error: " No SD card"

Or "download unsuccessful". Can be anything: google drive , images , files, etc.

Apps seem to install fine from playstore.

What i tried to fix:

1) erase SD card via huawei storage menu- erases and remounts.

Doesnt fix issue.

2) hard restore from power off (wipe dalvik, erase filesystem)

This restores the phone - but still doesnt fix SD issue

I noticed through filesystem viewer that /storage/sdcard0 and /storage/sdcard1 seem to be read only as the permissions are: d--

3) i tried through terminal trying to: chmod -R 777 storage but it says filesystem read only

So now what can i do to go to fix this? Anyone have link for stock factory firmware GSM y530 ?

[General Questions and Answers] :
Hi Taku.

If you want to apply Gravity Box's mods, as a lot of them are UI mods, then you need to disable hwthemes. Go to build.prop and find "ro.config.hwtheme=2", edit the "2" value to "0", reboot and you will loose the flat theme, but you will get Gravity Box's option enabled.

[MENTION=4280317]VisualTech48[/MENTION], yeah, I think it is msm8x10 or msm8x1x. There are three msm8x1x brothers, the msm8210 (ours), msm8610 and msm8612. I guess Qualcomm engineers used msm8x1x to cover the three of them and [MENTION=6200942]PieroV[/MENTION]'s github follows this fashion.

(edit: all the firmware I've been able to find, with the exception of the B5XX firmware, has a lower version number)

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] himister:
Simplest answer is:

If you'd like to upgrade by official dload method, B515 isn't compatible with any other cause it's localised to balkans region...but if you'd like to upgrade only system partition and kernel (boot partition) then I'd suggest you to do it. Only prerequisities is that your device have unlocked bootloader by code from huawei.

Simplest way to do it is to download the firmware, unpack archive, extract boot.img and system.img with Huawei update extractor and flash them with fastboot.

No other change will occur and you can revert to your stock version the same way.

Also you can try CENTSOARERS B515 moded rom few pages back. flash it through CWM recovery, but make a backup of your first.

As for the differences between older versions and B515, B515 seems to be faster and it's very easy to root just with SuperSU zip update file which you can install from CWM recovery.
