What about the Russian ROM for Huawei RU

Type this on Google : Honor 6 (h60-l04)_V100R001C00B109SP01_Firmware_Nonspecific(Russian)_Channel-Others_05012PLM

Someone tried to flash it ?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] Demazda:
Hi everyone.

I've tried to port H60-L01 EMUI 3.0 rom to H60-L04.

If any of you wants to download it and try it, here it is: https://mega.co.nz/#!f04RhD5A!-LAUWzYWg_8OB8GYvuWhFwZMUBSbXXC2wjy8_PBGzpI

Please remember that this port is UNTESTED (I won't have the device before two weeks) and that it can be very buggy. I did not modify a lot of things in there so... Make a backup before flashing anything! You'll also need unlocked bootloader and CWM recovery to flash it.

If you flash it, please report results so that I can make it work better.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] TsunaH:
Hope we can port EMUI 3.0 on H6
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] Diaruga:
It'd be great, and it should be more easy than you think!

I'm currently downloading the kernel source which is available at the following path :

http://en.ui.vmall.com/plugin.php?id=hwdownload&mod=detail&mid=70

Did anyone try to compile it?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] chrissss91:
Hi guys, I've got something weird with GPS.

It fixes very fast (at least a lot quicker than my GS2 :D), but under Waze the arrow (my position) lags went it moves, like if gps data where updated every seconds.

Waze himself is not laggy.

With Maps and Sigyc the position moves are not laggy but seems to be a little bit in late. I think it's not lagy because theses apps may smooth the move.

Under "GPS Test" it says "3D Fix".

Am I the onlyone ?

Any advice to fix this ?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] Samwix26:
I'll maybe test Demazda's port (when I'll receive my H6) ;)

Yeah it does but after 2_3 complete battery drains till. It shutdown n some normal cycles. Temp drops to 40 fr gamin n charging n browsing at 30 °c
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] virat tiwari:
please tell what is 2-3 complete battery drains

and latter will the mobile heat since it always getting hot on normal usage around 34*c

i have replaced it with new one but the new one is getting same problem

so does all honor 6 get heated
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] sunnyrullzz:
Battery drain means using every bit of battery in phone till it shutdown

Do it 2_3 times n it will stabilize the temp ir atleast does in mine case and also to some other users

[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] Diaruga:
I'm trying to compile my own kernel although I don't have the device yet, and it might be successful. ;)

I used the Linaro GCC4.7 toolchain. Here is the zImage :

http://d-h.st/R6e

I'm not used to pack a zImage into a boot.img file, I think the ramdisk is missing. But I keep trying.

For the time being I didn't change anything, I'll add stupid things like governors & schedulers in the future. :highfive:

EDIT : It's okay, I'm downloading the Russian H60-L04 stock ROM. Then I'll use the ramdisk already included.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] thrpod:
So this Russian ROM is the last EMUI 3.0 or EMUI 2.3 ? Does it supports multiple languages ?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] Diaruga:
The kernel is the same no matter what is your variant. The Russian ROM was the only stock ROM I found on the huawei website, it was made for the H60-L04 variant.

I think it should be pretty easy to port EMUI 3.0 on the L04 variant. ;)
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] Demazda:
Russian rom is EMUI 2.3, and is multilanguage.

If you want to try EMUI 3.0 you can still check my post here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56598822&postcount=325

But as I don't have the device I couldn't check if it was working correctly. Nobody reported success or failure for now.

EDIT: Diaruga, I think kernel sources found on Huawei website are for EMUI 3.0, though. Not sure if your kernel will work with 2.3 ramdisk and modules.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] Diaruga:
Are you sure about that ? The kernel source was released just after the international variant was launched in Europe.

And I see no reasons why it shouldn't work on EMUI 2.3, but let's give a try. And as you noticed, you provided a port. :good:
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] Demazda:
I am. Sources were released the same day EMUI 3.0 was released, as far as I know.

Great, I hope it'll work... fingers crossed! Also don't forget to make a backup, safety first.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] Diaruga:
I trust you, but I still see no reasons why it shouldn't work on EMUI 2.3 unless... the contrary is proved. :)

Fingers crossed.

---------- Post added at 06:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 PM ----------

I'm pleased to announce that I can now provide you my source-built kernel, and you can flash it through CWM.

http://d-h.st/F3y

Notes :

- It may not work on EMUI 2.3.

- The ramdisk was extracted from the russian EMUI 2.3 stock ROM.

- I had to edit a driver, so it can cause you network issues.

- The updater-script may not work as it should.

- This is UNTESTED.

I warn you, this is experimental.

Please report me any details of your experience if you decide to try it.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] Demazda:
I see. Thank you for reporting. Will try to do something better when I get my hands on the device.

[MENTION=5095669]Demazda[/MENTION] how you repack boot.img?

repacking insecure boot.img gives bootloop, probably xloader related for that.

Im trying to fix scripts for our device on dsixda's android kitchen but no luck till now.

Do you fix em or you use other method?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] Diaruga:
I use the mkbootimg tool. Are you sure it's giving bootloop due to the packing method ?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] VirusPlus:
The problem i think is not the packing method, is the insecure flag.

As im reading on older huawei's devices xloader.img check for secure-insecure boot.

I didn't try to pack secure boot.img btw.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] Diaruga:
Do you mean you'd like to change a stock bootimg into an insecure one ? Otherwise, I wonder if I'm missing something...

I'm not used to pack a boot.img myself, I usually use the CyanogenMod way of building which provides itself an insecure boot.img.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] VirusPlus:
Yes, im trying to change stock boot.img to insecure, but im getting bootloop.

If the kernel you build is insecure too thats the reason of bootloop on stock ROM.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] Diaruga:
I didn't try because I don't have the device yet! So I'm not able to know if it's working or not.

But it's interesting. Keep us informed!
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] chrissss91:
Finally i had to install Xposed 2.5 to make Gravitybox work :laugh:

Now I have :

- Android L navigation bar,

- Recentask2Kill,

- Kitkat circulaire Battery with percentage,

- Permanent Menu Button in navigation bar

In order to make Gravitybox work it seems mandatory NOT TO check "Disabled resource hooks" in Xposed options. Thus , under "Huawei Home" the icons won't be customised anymore. (I've not seen any other impact).

To be noticed : Xposed 2.5 is not the last version of the framework so for some modules you will have to install their older version to make them work (AppSettings : 1.8 Max, ...).

Sorry for my English :rolleyes:

It would be so awesome if CyanogenMod would eventually come to Honor 6. I can wish.... :fingers-crossed:
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] chrissss91:
Good to know, but as I wrote, icons are broken by Xposed so having a nice Lollipop bar with weird icons ... :silly:
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] chrissss91:
Does it mean that if I have only one theme on my phone, the icons will come back ?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] chrissss91:

Is there a tip to remove the carrier name (without decompiling resources) ?

Hate those icon background

I just upgraded from a Nexus 4 to an Honor 6 (EU version) and so far it's been a nice experience but damn those icon backgrounds are horrible. Your screenshot shows you managed to get rid of them while running stock 2.3 EMUI. Now I'm a complete noob when it comes to messing around with Android, would you mind pointing me in the right direction so I can try and do the same?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] itsnotmeatall:
By icon background do you mean the wallpapers or the icons themselves? Wallpaper you can change by longpressing anywhere in an empty space on the homescreen... choosing wallpaper and you will get some options - including your own photos.

Icons you can change by changing the theme in the 'Theme manager' app. You can also download some new themes - the links are on previous pages of this thread.

Grrrrr, Fm Tuner output is on a specific channel.

With my Galaxy S2, FM output was on "Media" output, but with Honor 6 is is on a "FM Tuner" Output and Tasker doesn't know this output. So I can no longer modify FM volume with tasker :(.

I tried Spirit FM 1, but does not seem to see the FM Tuner.

Any advice or workaround ?

How modify CPU frequencies ?

I would like to underclock my CPUs in some cases.

I used to use Tasker with my GS2, but it does not seems to work (obviously I've modified the 8 CPUs).

Do you know an application that can modify frequencies (on both QuadCore) ?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] TsunaH:
Do underclock you need a custom kernel no?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] chrissss91:
Ok, thx for the 2 answers, I tought you can UC with any kernel.

Read about that in all the reviews, so put the rear guard on as soon as I got it out of the box. Have a case on top of that, so no major damage so far (the case is a little scratched tho, having taken a couple of falls!:D)
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] Far_SighT:
+1. The case from flipkart is great (except that I once took it off from the camera corner and now it's perpetually bent :P). You'll never find the phone getting hot (37-41 deg C), which a lot of people, including me, find annoying.

Also, I have read that the EMUI 3.0 update is in the works (with the Chinese version released) and we'll get it in a few weeks. Can anyone confirm this for me, as I don't want to go down to rooting just yet (warranty period and stuff)?

method to root

I see at the web of srsroot this is a supported model to root:

HUAWEI	H60-L04	H60-L04V100R001C00B109SP01	4.4.2

I understand, when the mobile is unlocked, can reboot normally and execute srsroot to root it without install a recovery...etc???
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] deadko:
It was only to avoid possible problems when the 3.0 ota arrives
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] deadko:
when the bootloader is unlocked, it put to factory default or all remains untouched?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] itsnotmeatall:
Try this:

(you have to be rooted)

For boot animation sound:

Go to Device>System>Media>animationsounds

Here you will find a file called bootSound.ogg

Delete or rename it. In case you want a different sound you can convert a different sound to .ogg format and save it here as bootSound.ogg (it should be no longer than 10-15 secs).

I think this will only change the bootanimation sound, the bootlogo and its sound is stored somewhere I haven't been able to find yet. I changed the bootanimation and the bootanimation sound, but have not managed to change the boot splash logo yet.

For camera click sound:

Device>System>Media>ui

Here you will find a file called camera_click.ogg

Delete or rename it. (Inform if this works)

Heating below 40 is normal AFAIK.

PS: Please lets ask and answer questions in the forum threads rather than on PM's. Thanx.

Search for silent camera or mute camera apps in the play store.

I don't think you can change anything in the boot process without rooting.

In any case it is easy to unroot and relock bootloader to get warranty.

I've somewhat managed to get EMUI 3.0 to boot on H60-L04.

It shows "H60-L01" in system info but it works. Had to work around a little, though, and this is far from perfect (it works perfectly, but a lot of apps seem to be stuck to EMUI 2.3 versions).

Will keep working and report results again.

EDIT: update, apps are EMUI 3.0 versions. Only their icons are the old ones. Don't know why though.

EDIT 2: okay, applying stock theme was enough to make icons look 3.0-ish. Now going to write a tutorial.

Received it today!!

Received my Honor 6 H60-L04 today.

Unlocked/Rooted - instructions available works perfectly. Bootloader and unlock code slightly tricky but works.

Skipped EMUI. Not so "nice". Too much "iOS" feel of it and I can't really stand "Happy-Dragon-Yay-Anime" feel of asian visual styles.

I've opted to go with Nova Launcher and modded a bit of a KitKat/Jellybean stock feel to it.

The size of this 5" device impresses me. I wanted a phone that isn't too large and would match my Galaxy Nexus,

which it does perfectly. One-handed use, yay!!

Feels rapid/quick. Slightly slow flashmemory speeds. But I can live with that.

Need to test/use the phone a bit more to get a feel for the battery time and possibly other tweaks that can improve the phone.

Main wish is a stock Android/Google Edition OS for this phone. Preferably with dark/black backgrounds for Dialer/Contacts/Messaging...

:good::good::good: congratulation on finding a way to install EMUI 3.0 on L-04. Unfortunatly installing L01 image on my L04 doesn't make me feel confortable. I mean it can have different software and behaviour between international ( EU sold ) version and L01 that I don't want to have :rolleyes:
[Honor 6, 6 Plus General] Demazda:
Well, both are the exact same in terms of hardware.

I've been running it for hours now, everything is totally stable and works perfectly. And EMUI 3.0 is really beautiful. Though I can understand if you don't want to torture your device to get it. If you feel it could go wrong, my advice is to do nothing at all and wait for official release.

Random Shutdown with Green Notification Led blinking

Any one experienced random shutdown?

I woke up this morning and found that the phone was turned off (maybe just the screen was off) and green color notification led was blinking. The battery was around 60 % when I went to sleep. Also pressing the power button for once/ 2-4 sec didn't turn the screen/ phone on. I had to press the vol up+ down + power button for around 15 sec for the phone to reboot again.

Once the phone was on, the battery level was around 45 % (around 15 % drain over 7 hours) and there were lots of unread whatsapp messages.

Phone is rooted and was on CMW recovery when this happened. I know that it is not related but I have flashed stock recovery now.
