No one has answered me yet. I can't send adb commands from a computer.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
Do you have it enabled in developer options?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
Yes. But when you do, adb devices . . . you get nothing. Have you tried yours ?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
I'm not at home tonight.... I will try tomorrow... Restart your computer.

Has anyone seen a completely transparent status and navigation bar on a 3rd party launcher? I can't get anything to show 100% transparent
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
I'm using Apex and its fine... Both transparent

I'm using nova. The navbar is not 100% transparent. Its tranparent when you open the app drawer. BTW, does viper4android increase the volume? I feel its a little bit too quiet.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
That's what they say I have it installed but don't know how to use it lol. I play my music out the rear speaker but can't get it louder.. We need instructions lol
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] robertbarber:
have you tried a different cable to see if it helps.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
Its a driver thing. I tired on my other computer. Just the same thing. The computer can't communicate. It is usually the case that whenever you connect your phone to a computer with debugging enabled, you will always be prompted to accept a key on your phone. This time I didn't see any message on my phone.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
Yes you can increase the volume. Go to settings and under the UI settings select Expert. Then scroll to the bottom and select Output gain. Scroll up and select 6db. That in addition to other tweaking will increase the volume a lot
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Kid_Ding:
use google usb drivers http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html#top

Also if you have debug notify on check your device and confirm your pc
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Phone doesn't show its connected either? Or does it ask how you want it connected. Sorry. Busy day I might have missed what you said earlier.

We need a video on this, who's doing the honour :)
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Lol yea. Not me. People hate southern accents. Lol Super can do it. Two videos on this phone up already. Maybe on if them can do it.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
Ok so here's a new issue. I plug in headphones and they connect. Then it says Headphones disconnected, but audio still plays through. This causes Viper to not work because it also thinks there are no headphones plugged in.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
Ok guys, I just made a support thread.

Please use that instead!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MT2-User:
Smart Cover supported v

Out of curiosity, will Smart Cover be supported in future builds? Thanks in advance.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] u-ra:
Viper (any "mods" in general) gets the same treatment as Xposed.

Shouldn't be too hard, however, neither of us have one.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Lol I am sure the Mate2 owners here. Would be more than willing to supply you with one. We tried numerous times to get someone to take up development and offered donations.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
I haven't been able to locate that. Would you mind being a bit more specific?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
What's the video for I'll do it lol
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Installing cm12.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
I'll do it today... It will be up tonight
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Awesome. I am sure a lot of people will find it useful.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] robertbarber:
You may want to include how to flash updates in the video as well. That will help answer the questions like how do I flash the update and not lose my apps I've already installed.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
Video is made. Will upload in about an hr. To flash update they just don't hit wipe button. Lol. I will make video on next update
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] xordos:
Thanks, after adb usb works in linux machine, so I believe it is USB driver issue in my windows, which works with B309, but not with CM12.

I tried update the driver from above some days ago, but it didn't work, so today, I tried again, it works by choose slightly different steps from their doc:

1) Open Device Manager

2) Right click the mate2 under unknown device, select "Update Driver"

3) Choose "Browse my computer for driver"

4) Here, give/browse the driver location doesn't work, it says can not find driver software, instead, choose "Let me pick from a list..."

5) Choose, Have disk, and find the "android_winusb.inf".

6) Choose "Android Composite ADB Interface"

7) Confirm all the way to finish.

Now adb usb works in my machine.

Of course, need enable "USB Debugging" under Phone's Developers Option while doing above steps.

Thanks.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
Beautiful, thanks! Worked for me. I'll add to the support thread.

CM video install

here is the video in all its glory...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=---Utv9QfZk&feature=youtu.be

I have not had one reboot yet.. do you have xposed modules?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] CromDubh:
I've downloaded and installed cm-12.1-20150820-UNOFFICIAL-mt2 but when I check CyanogenMod version under "About Phone" it says its version 12.1-20150817-UNOFFICIAL-mt2. I initially installed 0820 over 0817, but I've also flashed EMUI B321 and installed a fresh cm-12.1-20150820-UNOFFICIAL-mt2. Shouldn't the newer version number be reflected under "About Phone"?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] USHAM2:
Mine shows the same thing. Minor fix.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Iguanadon:
probable cause is build.prop. ro.cm.display.version=12.1-20150817-UNOFFICIAL-mt2 :D you da man Jurica
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] TheGeekRedneck:
u-ra, this is completely freaking AWESOME! You have no idea how many people's dreams you just made come true! I've always said that if not for the lackluster software support and the constant forcing of EMUI down our throats, the HAM2 would be one of the best value oriented Android phablets out there - and builds of CyanogenMod is what the HAM2 REALLY needed to make that come true!

Is there some way that people like myself could donate to you and the other devs who are making this happen?

I am absolutely floored at the amount of stuff that's working in these first few builds of CM12.1 for the HAM2! Usually when you see CM ported to a new device you're lucky if you can even get basic stable functionality out of it let alone working peripherals like cameras, bluetooth, etc. You guys literally made my day! :D
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
As far as I can tell everything has been working for the last 2 days with no random restarts. I even got a few Xposed modules running right now. I will gladly buy [MENTION=3282752]u-ra[/MENTION] a steak dinner

[MENTION=4132147]TheGeekRedneck[/MENTION] do you still have the video of the HAM2 with the blue LED working? now we can start on that.. One more color would be awesome.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] TheGeekRedneck:
You know that's one of the first things I thought about, but I didn't want to push my luck by mentioning it!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
Greenify and gravity box
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
I also have Xposed Installed and I have both modules you have. However, I really have not had one random reboot. I have had this ROM since the first 5 minutes of release. I would disable gravity box and see if you have a random reboot again. I noticed not all modules inside gravity box work. my guess is you have a module inside gravity box that is causing the forced restart. my current modules are as listed.

1. Always Correct

2. Battery Home Icon

3. CM Settings

4. GravityBox [LP]

5. Greenify

6. YouTube AdAway
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] u-ra:
The thing about the blue LED is that's it's pretty much worthless. Huawei added it as an afterthought, it's not wired like the green and red (it can't do the pulse effect),

and the worst of all, it's too dim, especially if your phone is white. If you still want it, well, patches welcome.

Thank you, but donations aren't necessary. Donate to a decent charity instead.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
thats cool but if someone needed your paypal email so they could put some money in it and you could pick the charity of your choice?

Also you took the thunder right out of the blue LED. lol. Who wants a blue light that just stays on?? hahaha.

How is battery life for those who've had it installed for a couple days? Mine is doing real well. When I started work at 7 am it was around 90% and as I'm typing this its at 59% and that's with barely any use until about 2 when I got off. One thing I did was use clean sweep to disable most of the apps that were auto starting on my phone like chrome and a couple of others. I also tend to make sure my recent apps list is clear when I'm done using my phone for whatever im doing. Battery life is great on this ROM now if I could only get my cell connection to keep from saying no service to service every so often it would be perfect. Also is there any way to add more volume steps the ROM itself . I don't have xposed installed but when I did on JB I used this http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.p1ngu1n.volumesteps to increase the volume and it worked great. Any way to add this into CM? Thanks again for all the great work so far U-ra. I know it will keep getting better and better.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Your work and time is greatly appreciated.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ArkAngel06:
If anyone needs a volume boost for this, look here.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
Works great! Everyone needs to do that. A simple copy and paste with ES file Explorer. Big volume difference

---------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------

Does any editor have a search function? ES editor does not and that's lot of code to search
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ArkAngel06:
I use Solid Explorer, and it has a search for its text editor.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
Very nice. I got mine on 90 that sounds safe with the volume all the way out
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] robertbarber:
Didn't seem to work for me. Tried watching this video on YouTube that was hard to hear without phone to my ear before and it still sounds low.

https://youtu.be/STVew7vG_c0

It depends on what it is though. Some stuff will sound just fine, others will sound like their whispering, even with the volume turned all the way up..
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
That's a horrible audio video. https://youtu.be/6AFTKucAh3o this is fine see.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] robertbarber:
Yea that's better. Why the change in volume though? Shouldn't everything sound louder if the volume is turned up?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
I tested with Pandora and my text messages sound. Not youtube where each video is different quality
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MT2-User:
Charging stopped at 98% (5 minutes left)? Anyone did a full charge?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
With ArcAngel's tutorial, everything seems to be in perfect order in this ROM. The only problem is the battery life. After using Huawei's JB ROM for so long, we've been spoiled for excellent battery life. I'm a moderate user. I used to charge my phone after every 4 days averaging a screen time of about 14.5 hours. I rarely watch movies on the phone, play the occasional symphony but do a lot of reading. I've been using the CM ROM for the days. After I was done tweaking and restoring stuff on the first day, I charged the phone to completion. At a 100% charge, I went of to sleep. Approx 7 hours later, the charge was around 91%. I repeated the same procedure the next day. Again, there was about an 8% battery drain during sleep. On JB, I used to notice around 1% (no kidding) battery drain and at most 2% during standby. Also, as I've already mentioned, I'm a moderate user. I've been keeping track of my usage vs battery drain statistics. On average, I have about 1.5 hours of screen time for every 10% of battery life. Now, as I'm currently typing this, I have 82% battery remaining with a screen time of 1 hour 4 minutes. That's roughly a third (a slight over estimation) of what it used to be on JB.

To cut a long story short, I'll be lucky to get 7 hours of screen time on this ROM (compare that to 14.5 on JB). This is the only detraction to an otherwise excellent ROM. Maybe some of you guys are having different results?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
I check matt mowers and jurikas gihub daily. Many times a day. They are still working on the ROM. Sensors DRM amongst other things have been added to or deleted from every time I look. It will get better. Have faith. They are Good at what they do. This early in development its amazing its as solid as it is. Tweaking now will solve it.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] USHAM2:
I'm seeing about the same as you. Also want to note, after a couple days of use now I got my first random reset browsing through ES File Explorer. On a positive note, this is the best BETA ROM I've used as compared to other devices I've tested.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
Of course, I have faith. For a first preview, this ROM is beyond great. I've also been noticing that after a couple of restarts, the sim doesn't get detected. However, another restart or two solves the issue. I've been observing that during the time the sim doesn't get detected, the time period of the boot animation is shorter than other cases when the sim gets detected. Of course, I don't have any empirical data to support that. Would you mind restarting your phone several times consecutively to see if you get the same result.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Yep. Has happened to me two or three times. That and battery life are the only two issues I have seen. The cores seem to all be tied together. Where with stock it runs only as many cores as it needs. Qcom is one one the things they hit on yesterday. Guessing that's it. Didn't have time to look at what exactly they changed though.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
Well, I'll be sticking with this ROM and hope for the better.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
Was there a 3rd update done? I notice in the OP there are 3 links now
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MT2-User:
The 3rd one was posted shortly after the 2nd one was posted.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Iguanadon:
it was for hopefully the final front camera fix. :D
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MT2-User:
The Kernel version is August 20.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
Can someone check something for me inside the TWRP build that is provided in the OP? I noticed in the device tree that the /external_sd is annonated in the twrp.fstab file as it should be of course, but inside boardconfig.mk, TW_EXTERNAL_STORAGE_MOUNT_POINT := "usb-otg" and TW_EXTERNAL_STORAGE_PATH := "/usb-otg" are used. OTG is stated to be the external path and mount.

I want to know if accessing the external_sd with and without the use of an OTG cable can still be achieved.

My curiosity in the matter intrigues me since this appears unusual and the source handles external_sd and otg automatically, and by using those flags if it would override external_sd.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] tomlogan1:
Works better than anything else. I went from B321 to this and it is like a brand new phone. Just make sure you use the correct TWRP. I see no reason to go back to EMUI.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MT2-User:
I have charging issue (stop at 98%), shorter battery life and non-working smart cover. Smart cover does not working with EMUI B321 while it worked on B320; not sure about B322 yet.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Alucai Vivorvel:
Quoted from an earlier post of mine:
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] xordos:
you mean access to micro sdcard insert inside phone? It doesn't need any cable and can be seen as /external_sd. Let me know if you want me connect 2nd sdcard through otg cable, I need find the cable out when i back home.

Attached is the screen shot without any cable connected, just mount the micro sdcard.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
I already had that installed from day 1. If you choose powersave, the phone slows down drastically. Hence, thats not an option. I'm presently at 60% with just 2 hours of screen time; that's samsung numbers, not Huawei. Usually after 2 hours of screen time, I'd still have about 85% battery left. When we used to say the battery life on this phone was great, we weren't kidding. It was that good ! Presently, we're in samsung territory.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Alucai Vivorvel:
Yes, the battery is still an issue even after turning down the min frequency. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I used to brag about my battery life every time my dad mentioned how abysmal his iPhone 4S's was, so I know what you mean. The ROM hasn't been out for very long, but already we're starting to notice it.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
Ok, if you have an OTG cable then plug it up and see if it conflicts with external_sd access? Would do this myself if I had the device lol :-p.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ArkAngel06:
The battery seems great for Lollipop. A lot of phones took a dive when Lollipop came out. If I compare CM12.1 to the Huawei Lollipop builds, the battery is a ton better on CM12.1.

I was getting horrible battery life on b309.

Also on the Huawei JB and LP build, I would sometimes get lag when typing and if would miss letters and insert stupid stuff, but that is also totally gone with this CM12 build. I really couldn't be happier.

When I broke my OnePlus and needed a phone that day, I decided to buy this one because I wanted to try a 6" device, and I heard it had the best battery of basically any Android phone yet. Plus it was only $230 and I picked it up in a store that day. I liked the hardware but the software was so bad. JB wasn't great, although it worked OK. I always had a phone that at least had CM available. In my opinion, the Huawei Lollipop builds look kinda okay, but they are a nightmare when it comes to performance and missing a lot of stock Google Lollipop features.

I was really starting to regret buying this phone, but now I like it again, and I'm not in a terrible rush to upgrade. Although I probably will still grab one of the new Nexus devices.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] notoriouspk:
At last CyanogenMod for mate 2 thanks ...I hope it gets nightly status soon ...very happy to see this thread .Thanks PPL :p
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
Maybe, you can qualify your answer with some statistics. It will help a great deal if you do that.

In B309, although battery life wasn't as great as it was in JB, I was getting anywhere between 9 and 11 hours of screen time whilst doing the usual stuff I do.

In JB 4.3, I was getting 14-15 hours of screen time.

In cm12.1, although I haven't allowed the battery to drain completely, but based on current trend, I'll be lucky if I get 7 hours of screen time. Battery life has been the best feature of this phone and once its gone, the phone loses its prestige.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ArkAngel06:
I'm sure I won't get better results than what you're getting, but to me it just seems better than what I was getting on b309. I'll let my battery drain to 0 and see how it looks.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] notoriouspk:
too early to talk about about battery life for cm on mate 2 cuz its still a preview ...on my nexus 7 2013 cm runs gr8 n way better battery life ...so its safe to say we won't have any battery problems for mate 2 on cm as the ROM progresses from here on .
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] xordos:
ok, the usb pen drive via otg is mounted to /usb-otg. Both storage can be acessed fine in twrp.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] beastonprowl:
Not able to flash on the b322. Says not supported :(
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
Did you wipe data, system, etc ... before flashing?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] beastonprowl:
Yes i did. Formatted internal memory too i always do that before putting cm for the first time from stock OS.

This package supports b309, 312 , 320, 321 but this device has a boot loader 322.

Says Error executing updater binary in Zip " shows me the cm 12 filename"

Error flashing zip.

I think this is the same error i am getting http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62405525&postcount=78
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ArkAngel06:
Are you 100% sure you are using the special TWRP that is posted in the original post?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] beastonprowl:
Yes that is the only twrp i have downloaded. I followed the post only. Shows me version 2.8.7.0 on the screen.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ArkAngel06:
Can you downgrade to b309? If not, try downgrading to JB the official 2 step way, then updating to b309, and then wipe and flash cm12.1
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
I am pretty sure it checks version during install. Therefore it will not install to 322.

L on the 2012 version is horrible.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
We are definitely in Samsung territory.

I have been on battery for 10.5 hours and I am down to 36% with only 3h 23m screen time. No streaming video or audio at all. I am also using Greenify and literally have everything hibernating and when checking CPU Spy, the phone runs at 300mhz for the majority of the time. Even more than deep sleep overnight, which should never be the case. I've been on this for 4 days now so it certainly has had some time to settle in. Not sure what else could be the cause.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Alucai Vivorvel:
Well, I've been using my phone all day with 5 hr 40 min screen on time, unplugged around 7 AM (according to battery settings screen, I think I unplugged it then passed out again) and it's now 9:51 PM. The battery is at 51%. Definitely not as good as it was on 4.3, but I wouldn't call it Samsung territory, unless Samsung phones got far better battery life since the days of my Galaxy Ace II X.

Also, that's with some YouTube, tons of reddit including GIFs and news links with videos, and music playback (local, not streamed). Something is definitely wrong with your config.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
