[Huawei Ascend P7] drguild:
I wanted to make a thread for all things Emui 3.0 for general discussions about the actual rom interface itself and the stuff it has

There has been a few threads mislabeled like the thread in here called 25/11 EMUI 3.0 Official Update which was only asking and hoping for a ETA for the L10 model.

And other threads which have been about Emui 3 talk but only asking for downgrade and other things.

No thread has been designed as the actual Emui 3 general discussion thread for talk about the actual Emui 3 system on our phones.

So this thread is here to change that I hope so we can actually discuss the Emui 3 system and try to consolidate posts into one thread.

Below is some stuff I'll think about maintaining for a while.

FAQ

When is the ETA on Emui 3 for L10?

- Beta version "B602" is now rolling out to select people that signed up at this link

- You must be on version B133SP01 to be able to update.

- ETA on final Emui 3.0 for L10 would be in early January.

- Remember Emui 3 B602 can be very buggy as it is classed a beta which means its going through bug testing for pending fixes.

- Do not complain to us if you happen to find bugs report them to huawei through the inbuilt HiCares app.

Why didn't huawei released Emui 3 L10 same time as other models?

- This would most likely be due to licensing and other factors with the fact they are a Chinese company and coding the rom for there own language first to see how things go before doing translation and localisation into the international market and due to language barrier they choose like most people to work with their native language first till they get that done right.

Huawei are too slow and don't care about us :'(

- Huawei is a Chinese company and Chinese is their primary language and as such there local native models come first before there international models. If you do not like that buy a phone from a local company in your country next time,

We are never getting Lollipop :'( everyone else supposedly has it.

- With Lollipop it was only released in early Nov 2014, all developers hadn't had it that long to be able to customise and test their own interfaces and hardware etc yet and fix any issues that come up.

- Also Lollipop 5.0.1 was released December 3 2014 to fix critical bugs that the device can be totally wiped and unusable under certain conditions from the lock screen if you failed the pattern, and most company's know there may be some critical post release fixes.

- Most 3rd party companies still don't have a stable lollipop build and are expected to have their roms out to the general public for mainstream devices around March 2015, 3rd parties without much system level customisation may be out to consumers by end of 2014.

- Only Nexus devices have lollipop initially as there firmware comes directly from Google themselves everyone else has to customise and compile Lollipop for their devices as well as fix any bugs that come up it all takes time before a public release.

What about custom L10 Emui 3 roms?

- This is NOT really recommended especially for end users, till things mature and that is for all roms for all models.

- If there are custom Emui 3 roms for the L10 they would be done by repackaging parts of roms from other P7 models like the L07, or the new beta, this is risky if the drivers and hardware differ between models and is hacky at best and not fully integrated.

- The kernels are released and people are working on building a rom from those so be patient or help them out if you know about linux source.

I upgraded to a custom L10 Emui 3 version and my phone is screwed up I want to downgrade back to stock L10

- Theres a post in this forum about doing that, but personally I don't know how involved or working it is I'll update this when someone links a proper guide.

I cant wait, tell me how I can create a custom Emui 3 rom for L10?

- As above its not recommended due to differences in hardware.

- Also if members here knew how to make a proper custom Emui 3 roms, they would already be on these forums not waiting for someone to ask for a guide on how to create one.

What models are currently officially supported with Emui 3?

Will update when more info comes in.

L00 / L05 / L07 / L10 *BTA*

Can I root Emui 3 on my device?

Currently I don't see a method for doing that but i'll update when something is linked to me.

Can I use Xposed on Emui 3?

- From what I can see it's not properly compatible with our phone and has issues with the launcher breaking stuff.

- It is not worth the hassle causing issues to the system and breaking system things and potentially bricking of your device just to for example change the navbar size and auto hide it.

- Auto navbar hide can be done with the GMD autohide app, no rooting is needed to use this.

Can I use a custom recovery on Emui 3?

Currently I don't see a method for doing that but i'll update when something is linked to me.

Current Issues with Emui 3

- I'll post some of the big Emui 3 issues affecting users here.

- Sometimes music player will start playing a local file randomly when you have a different music app running like digitally imported, while using the smart cover.
