[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] MURCIE'LAGO:
I've flashed this rom 2 days ago and I'm very pleased by its performance. after removing huawei chinese bloatware it has more than 1.5gig of free ram!

compare to previous rom I'd have (EMUI3.0/400dpi/b002) it is very smooth and fast

the UI is not as polished as EMUI3.0 but not a single lag. the wireless is very stable too

however I have 2 problem with that

1. battery is not as good as B020 or B021 (I think google services make it worse)

2. double-tab-wakeup does not work (like other 4.4 roms)

[MENTION=1053368]bthoven[/MENTION]

I've flashed this rom over b002 by use of a cfg file from B010 zip file

not a single problem ;)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] bthoven:
Thanks a lot. I believe double tab option is there and working, at least on b002 and b005 kitkat 400dpi.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] MURCIE'LAGO:
really?!

I had b002 on my device and no sign of double-tab wake up

is it in settings?

on what section an under what name?

that's a feature I've really missed :(
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] bthoven:
Motion control->double touch

Difficult to find it myself :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] MURCIE'LAGO:
yeaaaaaaah

it works

thanks alot :highfive:
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] MURCIE'LAGO:
Best ROM I've ever tried on this device so far! :good:
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] bthoven:
Hi,

could you share the b010 dload and cfg file (excl. update.app)? Thanks in advance.

ps. still can update from b005 (400dpi emui 3) to this 320dpi kk emui 2.3 rom
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] MURCIE'LAGO:
here you are
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] bthoven:
Really thanks. Will try and tell you how it goes.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] bthoven:
I still can't update from b005 to b001, update failed message on Recovery screen.

Really have no idea what to do.

update 25 Nov: it is working now. I don't know how; just worked after several tries.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Gelasius:
Chrome is working on mine perfectly. Font size you have 4 options in settings > display. It's the best ROM so far.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Ahmed.ragab:
I just bought mediapad x1 it is (7D-501) it was (B002) and there was an ota update i did it and it is now (B003)

I saw the posts here about the instability of kitkat version .. is there any stable kitkat update u tried for this device and where i can get it ?

Thnx in advance
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] MURCIE'LAGO:
Congress ;)

I’ve tried many roms, from android 4.2 to 4.4 and with emui 2 to 3

For me this rom (current thread) is the best because of its stability, speed and compatibility with many apps (I’ve still had some problems with sms filter apps but it’s related to android 4.4)

But before updating to the beta roms or other roms from the Chinese forums introduced here please be aware of the incompatibility of these roms with google services and many regional languages.

In many cases you have to root your device and add those services manually
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Ahmed.ragab:
thanks :)

So the problem only related the google services and I can solve it after rooting and I can solve the problem of dpi too ..

many thanks :)

I will try and provide u by the remain steps that will stop me :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] aflatoon2874:
Dear Ahmed,

You do not need to root to get google services and apps. Install Google Play via downloaded apk from your SD Card. Once Google Play is installed you can install all other google apps from play store. Find attached Google Play apk.

I would suggest not to mess up with DPI settings via build.prop file, as Huawei roms are notorious for messing up the device UI. Download the relevant rom for your DPI choice. Roms are available for both 320 & 400 DPI.

Good Luck :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Ahmed.ragab:
many thanks dear aflaton .

so I will install the official 4.4.2 ui 2.3 but 320 dpi and install the store u attached and all thing will go Ok without any trouble ever and what about Chinese app is it available to be uninstalled ?

P.s I was thinking about to stay with the stock 4.2.2 but if every thing go Okay after confirmation I will install it ..

Waiting your reply

thanks again aflaton :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] aflatoon2874:
AFAIK 4.4.2 ui 2.3 and 320 dpi is the best rom for our device. I have not faced any issues so far, I am on it for the last 20 days. However, it seems that Huawei is more active on the 4.4.2 ui 3.0 and 400 dpi rom (it has transitioned from b002 to b005 to b006). The 320 dpi rom has not seen any update. So you decide which rom you want to go with. ;)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Ahmed.ragab:
Okay thanks but plz tell me the steps of installing it i saw the zip file contain only update.app and how to remove the Chinese bloatwares ? :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] aflatoon2874:
Installation Steps:

1. Copy the update.app file to dload folder in your external SD Card. The dload folder should be in the top level directory of your external SD Card. The external SD Card should have around 4GB of free space.

2. Method 1: Select local update option from settings menu Updates->System Updates->Local update. It will search and show the update.app on your external SD Card. Select upgrade, device will reboot and start installing the new ROM.

3. Method 2: Shutdown device and reboot. Your device will start installing the new ROM.

4. When successfully installed (You will see big OK in green color), pull out your external SD Card. The device will reboot automatically into the new ROM.

Caution: if you do not pull out your external SD Card and force reboot, device will attempt to reinstall the rom.

Chinese bloatware:

You can disable some of the chinese apps and uninstall a few. If you want to completely get rid of the chinese bloatware then you need to root your phone and use System App Remover (root) tool to uninstall them. System App Remover (root) is available on the play store.

A word of caution though: If you remove any chinese app and any OTA updates are provided by Huawei (such as b005 and b006 in the other rom) in future for this rom then the OTA update will fail. Hence, I would suggest that you do not uninstall any of the apps. You may create a Junk folder in EMUI launcher home pages and move all the bloatware in this folder, this way it will not clutter your UI.

Happy flashing :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Ahmed.ragab:
I will try it downloading now .. thanks :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Ahmed.ragab:
I flashed it all go well .. but u can't sync my google contacts ..any idea i.found google contact sync.apk somewhere byt i couldn't install it...any idea?:confused:
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] bthoven:
Here it is

[quote name="rouch" post=56712405]There is a simple solution that does it all, mostly for the non technical persons like me. After trying different solutions, I found this with no need to root or to change files on your device . This way you can easily enjoy the updates Huawei proposes to roll out. <br />

1- Go to the original Huawei "app center" on your device and go to the search bar on top and digit these three letters: gms and perform the search (Don't be afraid if it's all in Chinese) <br />

2- Click on the big banner just bellow the search field where you see a bunch of google icons put together.<br />

3- Download the first in the list of results (Google play services) , then the second (Google sync for the calendar app), then the third (google sync for the contact app) and finally the eleventh (Google play)<br />

4- If you want to install a second google account to sync use google+ <br />

Restart your device and everything should now be in sync. You can now install whatever you like with Google play that should be on your phone. Thanks for all the contributions on this forum.[/QUOTE]<br />

<br />

Thanks a lot. That's exactly what I did lately after my update of those Chinese roms.<br/>
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] aflatoon2874:
Ahmed, either you can try the instructions of bthoven or install the attached apks for contacts & calendar sync. These are kitkat compatible.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Ahmed.ragab:
Worked.. Thanks aflaton... Great firmware ;)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] aflatoon2874:
You are welcome Ahmed. Glad that I was of any help to you. ;)

I got ma smart cover 2day and all is go smooth. Except the default explorer is laggy a little .
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Hasoka31793:
here's a tricky one for me. :)

can i install this rom while i'm having the B008 kitkat 4.4.2 and EMUI 3.0 on my device?

Please let the answer be yes :D
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] aflatoon2874:
Dear Hasoka, AFAIK there should not be any issue as both are 4.4.2 kitkat. Try flashing, the flashing process would let you know, if it can't be installed. In this case you will get a big FAIL message. Your existing rom will not get affected, if this happens.

I bricked my x1. My I cannot boot my device anymore, no boot logo no stock recovery only red and green led blinking
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phantomhive:
So I have been having a problem with the front facing camera on apps that utilize it but not stock or Google's camera app. This makes using the front facing camera on things such as instagram, and snapchat suck because everything is squeezed together making things like faces look extra long and skinny. I am not sure its the ROM doing this because I have tried others. Currently running Slimkat 4.4.4 build 7. Any tips would be appreciated
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phantomhive:
I'm going to bump this because I noticed something, maybe it will give a little more insight to the problem. When I use the stock or Google camera, and take a picture there is no distortion, because when I take the picture it turns out to be a square image, Snapchat and other apps stretch it because they are taking a standard image. Why is it that stock takes square images all of a sudden?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Is there a setting to change the picture from 4:3 to 16:9 or something like that?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phantomhive:
I do not see one
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pretzels:
I would like to bump this post, as well. I am having the same issue. Front-facing photos in non-stock camera apps take distorted photos, or rather, the aspect ratio is incorrect, resulting in distortion. Kind of makes SnapChat useless. I wish I could be more specific about when this started. I am on CarbonRom (11.06 nightly build with latest build of Ktoonz's kernel by Perseus). Though this was persistent on my last rom, AOKP, ever since maybe, two or 3 snapchat updates ago.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] FQuen:
EDIT :

Solved the issue thanks to a post I've seen on another forum! Sorry I can't find it anymore.

This will solve the ffc stretching issue for ALL 3rd party apps including Vines, Snapchat, Messenger, etc. (Tested on CM11 M12) Just follow the steps :

1. Unzip your AOSP-based rom

2. Go to /system/lib/hw/

3. Delete "camera.msm8960.so"

4. Change the name of "camera.vendor.msm8960.so" to "camera.msm8960.so"

5. Zip everything back

6. Flash your ROM. (I did a factory reset because I came from a touchwiz rom)

The problem should be solved!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pretzels:
I am trying to figure out what I am doing wrong. When I try to flash the newly-modified zip (that is, the one with the modifications you specify), TWRP gives me a failed flash error.

Aussi, merci beaucoup, Montreal, je l'apprecie beaucoup ! :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrrocketdog:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pretzels:
Great question. I don't normally do any tinkering with my phones outside of flashing prepared software (ROMs, and such). I'll check it out.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] FQuen:
pretzels, let me know if you successfully installed the ROM after the modifications.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] loosemoose613:
Pretzels, just curious, did you ever successfully do this? I'm having the same issue. FQuen's is the only fix I've seen anywhere after days of searching.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pretzels:
I recently switched to a new phone, so I did not get a chance to do any more troubleshooting.
[G2 and Desire Z General] fireball0093:
The title is exactly as it sounds. I finally parted ways with my good old HTC Desire Z a week or two back, it's in my mom's hands now for the time being. Honestly, I really loved this community for helping out, building roms, and everything. Hell, I love the whole xda community, who am I kidding. Even though I am no longer going to have this phone for a while (until my mom gets a new one, that is :P) I'm gonna still be around if people have any questions regarding it, or also regarding the YouTube series I had showcasing some roms that were built for it. I'm just in one of those nostalgic-feeling moods, where I want to say thank you to everyone for all they've done xD

Ok, I looked at the spec sheet vs the Nexuse 6 and there were 3 things I have a question about.

1. The WiFi is different

2. The LTE BANDS WERE DIFFERENT

3. Sensors

4. GPS

Can someone smarter than me, explain the differences and if they are relevant?

Hi,

Looks like Android 5.0 Lollipop has resolved the Sd card write access issue (security!!) that was present in Android 4.4 kit kat

http://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-5.0.html#Storage

http://www.androidheadlines.com/2014/07/sd-card-access-changes-better-android-l.html

Can the MX Player developer confirm or soon confirm that this is now possible in Android Lollipop?

Does the extended API of the SAF (storage access framework), present in Android 5.0 onwards, now allow for writing to sd card again?
[MX Player] CDB-Man:
[MENTION=3850543]bleu8888[/MENTION] you probably want to eventually take a look at this.
[MX Player] josuearisty:
Do you mean that apps will be able to take control over files on external SD Card?
[MX Player] imnoob55:
I am not sure if this really fixes it though? It seems to be about writing to external storage in the application's directory but not any other directory. You'd still need to access it be \extstorage\android\0\obb\%appname%\ etc right?

I thought this is what is broken and not allowing apps to really 'write' to SD card (outside of their own directory):

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html#WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

I am not sure if this means this has been explicitly fixed in Android L.

*update* whoops sorry, looks like L is indeed fixing the issue in KitKat and adding permissions to write/read anywhere on the ext sd, not just their app specific directory

http://www.androidcentral.com/lollipop-brings-changes-way-your-sd-card-works-kind-youll

So I guess what MX Player and apps like FolderSync will need to do is on initialization the user will select which parent directory they are allowing the app the access (incl all subdirectories) and giving the app r/w/d/m privileges. And like mentioned, the user can allow the app to use an entire sd card if they choose. Neat. So that is great news, we still have security mechanisms that were added but we also have the power to partition which folders are being accessed by which app.

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html#ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE

public static final String ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE

Added in API level 21

Activity Action: Allow the user to pick a directory subtree. When invoked, the system will display the various DocumentsProvider instances installed on the device, letting the user navigate through them. Apps can fully manage documents within the returned directory.

To gain access to descendant (child, grandchild, etc) documents, use buildDocumentUriUsingTree(Uri, String) and buildChildDocumentsUriUsingTree(Uri, String) with the returned URI.

Output: The URI representing the selected directory tree.

See Also

DocumentsContract

Constant Value: "android.intent.action.OPEN_DOCUMENT_TREE"

:highfive:
[MX Player] josuearisty:
This is not really broken, this is a feature now in kitkat, google decided it.

I really hope they give us again the way to have control over all SD card files in the coming versions begining with 5.0
[MX Player] imnoob55:
Sorry about that, 'broken' is a poor choice of words. I agree it was in fact a feature and a well warranted one, at that. I updated my post to show the new intent permission that resolves this issue and does allow control over all SD card files (or to a single directory and its sub directory) based on the user's choosing. Seemingly on initialization apps that need this permission will invoke a directory manager to select which directory or even entire partition the app will be allowed to rwdm to. The permission persists without needing re-authorization (unless directory location has changed) and persists through reboots.
[MX Player] grange:
Yes

Confirmed !! :) There will be a new permission (API) in Android 5.0 available to developers to use if they want to fully Copy/Move/Rename/Delete files from the Sd card :D

Please update MX Player to be able to use this new permission
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
If I am not wrong, the next update will be mainly focused on compatibility issue since it needs immediate attention.

It may take atleast few months to see a device with Lollipop & removable sdcard. Meanwhile [MENTION=3850543]bleu8888[/MENTION] can implement the new api.

So, it's better not to expect immediately in the next update.
[MX Player] dli7319:
Bump. I'd really like MX Player to implement this intent.

It would be support on next version.

Everything became wrong from lastnight, it restart continuously , something it can be used 2-5 minutes, then freeze and restart.

I had it flashed back to stock ROM ( Docomo) then SGP321 4.1.2 it problem still occur. Maybe something wrong with wifi function cos when i try to log in a wifi network it began to freeze , have no idea.

Can anyone can help me for this problem ? Do we have any way to wipe all wrong things on my tablet.:(

P/S: I found the reason is WIFI, when i disable WIFI it ok can use LTE 3G but when i active the WIFI connection it freeze

I did this last week with 13.1 and the same rom. It's a 4.4.2 rom but the kernel works enough to get s-off. Here is the thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2295596. The rom was pretty useless there is some compatability issues which crash video playback (including the viewfinder in camera mode) to the point where any video crashes the phone completely not just FC there's also weird screen artifacts. Everything else works though and it works enough to get S-off with firewater on Viper 7.0.1. I'd flash 13.1 then do firewater and reflash the rom.

The camera doesn't work because it's a fake - furthermore, it's not even running Tizen, as your firmware states : V700XXUBNC1, (AKA android).
