Just install nova launcher to get the vanilla android feel, you get the app draw to. That's what I've done.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DANfour20:
Lol even if huawei update the kestrel to KitKat it's still Gona have that emotion ui.

I'd like kit kat, not that fussed though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RawPenguin:
If we get PACman though ;) It supports 4.4.

I just want the transparent statusbar, it looks REAL slick.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rophaq:
try this and see if its any good, the nearest you can get to kitkat, i think it has transparent status bar, pm me if it works
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DANfour20:
I notice you tell a lot of people to try stuff for you, are you scared to try them yourself?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rophaq:
No. I've tried it on my phone and it looks great. That's sad you don't even own the kestrel only on EE network and you keep pestering everyone here. Whether you go and by the phone and get help here or shut up and stop asking your stupid questions. This is a forum where people help each other. Got it. If not I can make zip that you try out to see if it can work with your ****ty attitude.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RawPenguin:
It did work, although it is a pseudo-status bar. I probably won't use it much as I love the custom configs for Holo. Thanks for the suggestion :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DANfour20:
Actually mister thinks he knows it all I've owned my kestrel for around 5 days, did you miss the point were I said install nova launcher for a vanilla feel as that's what I did.

Why don't you make a zip which will help you read better.

And obviously the convo we had about price plans from three you didn't even know the difference between pay as you go and contract. :laugh: lol then you even try to remove what you wrote on that thread. What a shame people can still read your stupidity since I quoted you lol. Oh that threads here by the way incase anyone wants to see. It would seem rophaq is an ee sales man. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2744097

And I don't get why your saying about a crappy attitude. I asked if you were scared because I wondered if there was any risks in doing what you were asking others to do (you hadn't mentioned you had done it on your own phone already, although its strange when you suggested for that guy to flash it you only thought it had a transparent status bar, if I'd had it on my phone already I think I'd have known for sure) unless me correcting you and disagreeing with what u write qualifies as a crappy attitude.

Anyway rant over. I have rooted with towelroot and I use esfile explorer to try uninstall system apps. Facebook twitter etc. But when I choose uninstall it says uninstalation unsuccessful. Wtf esfile explorer has root permissions and that's how I used to do it on my xperia u. Where am I going wrong?

I definitely recommend doing this. I've had it done for a while and it has made everything more controllable.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DANfour20:
In es I open the sidebar and select root explorer, it pops up with the root access request which is granted, then I select app manager and then change it from user to system apps, select Facebook choose uninstall and all I get is uninstallation not successful.

I don't get what I'm doing wrong?

Personally, I use Link2SD (free on app store) to uninstall my bloatware. You can also use nobloatfree.

Same thing happens. I'm out sure whether Facebook, deezer and free games apps are system apps. Links 2 SD and nobloat free don't even list them. Its only in es file explorer they come up as system apps. There respective apks must be in another location. They are not in system - apps folder

I haven't updated yet either. The 2 times that I tried it, it went to the recovery menu, flashed it, cleared the cache, then rebooted. The update did not take effect after the reboot though...?

All I care about at the moment is that the update.app has now been released, which should help devs create a stable CWM. Updating will most likely remove root, which could be a pain. (Initially getting root was tedious)

Building CWM for EE Kestrel

Hi,

Following this guide, I'm trying to compile a CWM for the Kestrel, though I've reached the point I don't feel confident anymore, so I'm seeking for help.

I've used CM-11.0 as source for this task, I downloaded the source and setup the environment. Then when I entered the command

build/tools/device/mkvendor.sh huawei g535-l11 /path/to/the/boot.img “

I was prompted to choose a device through the

launch

command, but since there was (obviously) no Huawei G535-L11 I opted for the AOSP-ARM (the first one in the list). Please advise if this is a wrong choise.

Secondly, when the boot.img is extracted, and the folder and files are created, I get an empty BoardConfig.mk and recovery.fstab just holds a single line.

If anyone has any advice about this, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Farmakon:
I've tried to compile a custom recovery from the CM-11.0 source but it doesn't seem to work.

I think there's a problem with the ramdisk address (see BoardConfig.mk). The ramdisk size is 2182837.

BoardConfig.mk and recovery.fstab are included in the attachment.

Any advice?

Hey, I wish I could help but I'm no android dev... If I had a better PC rig then I'd totally get into it. Anyways, I would recommend you try to post in as many forums as you can, as this thread isn't yielding results. Make sure that people know that this device is new to being rooted.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Farmakon:
I'm trying to compile the kernel, can anyone dump the config.gz for me? My system was erased.

From recovery use this adb command.

adb pull /proc/config.gz > default.config

You can attach the default.config file here. If it fails, probably the kernel wasn't configured to generate the .gz file.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArcticFox:
It says "remote object '/proc/config.gz' does not exist"

I wish this phone were more popular, I hate the EmotionUI crap. I'd love some MIUI action on this.

Slow. The compile recovery I get from kernel source and dt file doesn't work. The phone reboots twice (as it should while pressing vol up and power) but then it suddenly turns off instead of showing the CWM screen. I think it's something with proprietary drivers that I haven't figured out yet. I'm still at it though.

Cool, I'm glad you're still at it! Is there any way I can help?

Github repository

I created a github repository for the G535. It relies on the source code to compile the recovery but, eventually, it can be used with a precompiled kernel.

The recovery compiles but it boots into a black screen. I believe it's due to some issue with the graphics drivers that I can't figure out.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Experimental Recovery

Warning: Proceed with caution.

My phone is hard bricked so I cannot test this build myself. If you intend to test it, you do at your own risk. I take no resposability for damages to your device.

To use this recovery, reboot your device in fastboot mode (bootloader mode) by pressing and holding the volume-down and power buttons together.

Uncompress the archive (you need the .img file). Load the recovery through the shell using this command:

fastboot boot /path/to/file

This will simply load the recovery into the phone's memory without actually flashing it to the partition, the device will reboot into TWRP recovery on its own.

Now, DO NOT WIPE and DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING through the recovery. Simply check the log file (middle icon at the bottom) and see if there are errors mounting the partitions. If so, please post the log here so I can try and fix it.

I even went through the build.prop and changed/removed everything which wasn't related to the g535 and still nothing. The problem which I can't figure out is I can't find the bloody torch apk in the g6 ROM. I've probably overlooked it. But I shall keep looking.

On a little side note there is one ROM in the g6 development which has a script to change the data partition to 4gb, it uses the internal memory.

I'll have a look for it and post the link.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hillbillie:
Funny, I can't find the vmall thread I got mine from. Googing "g535 b120 update" didn't help much.

So...... a quick question, which service provider do you use?forget this, wrote before I reread!

I say that 'cos things could get tricky. I'll explain later when you reply, in the meantime - unfortunately ? - I'm up in the mountains in Spain so uploading 1.3gig will require a trip to a free Wi-Fi café!

I'll include 3 basic apps with the dload directory which you should move to your ext. sdcard, hold vol +/- and pwr, until you see the huawei/service provider screen at least twice, the third time round release - ONLY - pwr. Then you'll get the Android build icon, wait till it finishes and it will ( I forget) reboot as a brand new mobile(I hope!). Make sure you copy these apps as well...

1. Towel root . obvious it doesn't need reboot but you do need a data connection

2. SuperSu. Obvious

3. X-plore. An all in one file manager

If you need anything else , like titanium , let me know and I'll throw them in the mega folder.

Sorry for the delay, hopefully you should be up and running in a couple of days.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hillbillie:
Really stupid of me, not too sure.

Go back to page 8 # 77 post.

After you read this, maybe someone will add more info.

But, the issue with EE and Gova Bouyges versions lies in one place:

custom.bin (found in /data), if anyone has this make a copy as .txt and post.

Here's why,

Gova = orange/es it could be vodaphone/es or movistar/es

Your original - pls confirm anyone - is probably EE/us or some such. Why?

Cos huawei uses this to find the matching directory in their /cust build directory.

I.e. /cust/orange/es /cust/vodaphone/es etc.

Now if you can root and supersu you only have to edit custom.bin and find someone who can supply the /cust/EE? directory and files. When you reboot, boot will find your service providers .xmls and local.prop files for your phone, country codes etc.

Phew! I hope so, and hope that post #77 readers can also reply to confirm.

BTW re: build.prop and xposed, I rebuilt at least ten times before I found the right combo:

(It wasn't build.prop, yes huawei theme =0)

Correct xposed

Correct Gravity Box

Correct Boot Manager, unfortunately I downloaded the last two latest versions and it went blank!

More later, depending on #77 replies
