[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] TheGeekRedneck:
Definitely seeing more random reboots as I've used the ROM more and more over the last week, but haven't been able to reproduce them except in ONE case - using the Wells Fargo bank app to deposit a check remotely. The app has you take a picture of the front and back of your check and I discovered quiter by accident that I could trigger a reboot almost every time while the app was trying to take a picture.

As I said before battery life is definitely worse than the Huawei sourced ROMS (both JB and Lollipop) but it's not unmanageable and I'm sure it will get better over time. Really glad to hear (no pun intended!) that the volume will be increased in the next build! :D
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Alucai Vivorvel:
So, I made a change to the volume using the fix posted a few pages back... will that be overwritten by the new build when it comes out, or should I manually reverse that so my speaker doesn't blow out the first time it tries to play something?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
It was changed in the github. They may remove it. Dunno till its out. But yes it would overwrite changes.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ArkAngel06:
I think the build prop gets restored to default after an update/flash, so you should be fine.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Alucai Vivorvel:
Wasn't it a file other than build.prop?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
You will probably wanna do fresh install. Its mixer XML. Hoping they release next build soon. Several edits made. Should make it much better.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] notoriouspk:
can't wait for the new build .....
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Alucai Vivorvel:
I just realised the build number in the Settings still says 20150817, even though I flashed the latest build over top of it (20150820 I think).
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Its fine. They just didn't change date.

Guys when I get a phone call it rings way before the screen turns on. Im able to take the phone out of my pocket and look at it and its still black then lights up
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Odd. I haven't looked at mine when a call comes in. I will have to check that out. Does your proximity sensor turn it back off after you hold it to your ear?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
Yes, fast also
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
I checked mine. It lights up within a second or so of ringing. Maybe an xposed module or something doing it?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
I don't know.. If it's just my phone I'll wait for the next build to do another full wipe. It def takes about 4-5 seconds after the ringer starts on mine
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Good idea. Seen lots of stuff being worked on. Can't wait myself. We are fortunate to have the devs we got.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Mozgus:
So, I assume people are aware that UMS file transfer is totally busted. The speed is terrible, and it's READ only, right? Everything I tell it to delete, fails to delete, and no files can be copied over to the phone.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
According to Matt's github that was changed 10 hours ago. Hopefully new release soon!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
I'm waiting...
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
They may be waiting till later this week. Huawei is SUPPOSEDLY releasing public L. Which means kernel source as well. Which would allow the devs a lot more to work with. Just speculation on my part. I don't know.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
Which kernel source are they using presently?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Good question. Lol. Dates go back for months. So no idea.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
What ROM are you currently using because you seem to be posting in both the carbon and cm threads.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
Carbon?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Carbon right now. Swap back and forth to test. But both are built from Matt's githib.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Lol. And a new PC to build with. Always a plus!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
Man I wish the next update would come soon. My phone restarted at least 5 times yesterday using Google Maps Navigation and in a few restarts no sim card error so ya...
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
So you and somebody else on this forum has the maps nav reboot issue. Weird.

Huawei Ascend Mate 2 - CM12.1
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
I think it has to do with WCNSS crashing. IDK. I use maps every day for work so this is almost a deal breaker at the moment. And on L309 it was have problems locating me.. I can't win... I'm sure the next update will fix it. Fingers crossed
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Isn't crashing on PAC ROM. Newest build from yesterday. Try it.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
What's PAC rom?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
http://xdaforums.com/ascend-mate2/development/rom-pac-rom-lp-mr1-beta-2-t3186673/page2
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
To sum it up, PAC Rom is a mix of everything between CM, Omni, Slim, AOSP, and the like. Along with some of it's own unique features. In a way it's concept is similiar to AOKP lol. Pretty nice Rom though. I'm building OmniRom 5.1.1 today after work :D
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
So just to be clear huawei still has not released a functional L, CM has restart bug along with battery drain and a few other minor things and what about PAC? What's broken? Haha
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
Brokenness comes with the territory of custom Roms lol. Even big time corporations can't always get it perfect. Requires a lot of time, labor, skills, and as always, trial and error. To be frank, I haven't seen one officially released Rom from any given OEM that didn't have some type of bug in it. But, good news is that it will get better over time.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
Nothing broken on Pac Man ROM that I can see so far. It actually feels a lot smoother than the other two CM based ROMS and my data seems faster than it was also. No issues with GPS
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
I have it installed now. Testing g it out
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
I ran maps quite a while with no issues to test. Worked without issue. Hopefully it will for you to. Lemme know of it does. And tell me exactly what was going on so o can try to crash it the same way.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
I used it to navigate to dinner so it worked once. That's one time more then CM so far so good [MENTION=5530607]Moody66[/MENTION]6
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Glad to hear it! As a residential electrician traveling a lot to work on homes and businesses all over North Carolina I had to use mine to find hardware stores.. Usually Lowes. And food joints. Even places to stay sometimes. I know how important GPS and maps are to people.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
Dude I use it every day. I'm a mobile technician and all I do is type one address after the next. When CM kept doing reboots and huawei B309 had my GPS location in the ocean one day I was beating the sh*t out of my steering wheel. Hahahah
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Lol. I set mine up to voice. Easier than typing. And hands free to drive. !
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
I used it for an 800 mile road trip and it never rebooted once. No idea what could be causing it for you. :confused:
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
IDK it seems to be working real well today on Pac Man ROM. Then again its only been one day.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Official build soon maybe. Fingers crossed! Wish the guys would take some compensation for their time.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
Can I ask a dumb question?

When you say "official build" does that mean it gets put on the "nightly" list. and then what does "nightly" mean for CyanogenMod? Is a nightly a build that you check on the updater app under settings? if so how often do they push updates? My other question is what is the benefit of having CyanogenMod vs PAC ROM once there both "official"? Isn't PAC ROM CyanogenMod with more features? forgive me if I'm totally wrong.. lol
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Lol all are using the same git for source. Official cm will get updates if the keep it up. Updater depends on who sets it up really. Just have to wait and see what gets announced. At this point I don't even know who's going to post and maintain it. Toms Google+ has a conversation ongoing. From what I have read what has been posted is up to date with current kernel source from huawei. Minis what has been added or removed from Matt's github. So if someone completed from there right now it should be official cm. I think they are waiting in U-ra to go through it and see. Don't quote that as fact. Just my understanding. Living the fact they are doing what they are. Being an aosp person I will be happy when this is updated. PAC I think is up to date. Carbon hasn't yet. Good times ahead!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
Right now I like the fact that PAC is still pushing updates (one last night) and they also have a bug/ticket website where you can see what is getting fixed and also request features. I have been on that ROM with greenify running and I am getting 2 whole days out of it 3 if i use the battery saver when it reaches 20%. When I was on CM I only got 1 whole day out of my phone by the second day I had maybe 35% which isn't going to make it all day. Battle of the ROMS I guess. Hopefully they all get finished. At least 1 hahaha.

Here is the website I was talking about for PAC ROM

http://reporting.gocanarytel.com/view_all_bug_page.php
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Cm will get updated to new commits. If you installed PACs first builds you would have seen the battery drain. They really should all be equal there once updated. Really boils down to features. I tried them all like I always do. Lol flashaholic. Using PAC now since it has the updates. Soon as the others get updated I will try them too.

More choices are coming. Different Roms. All Io can say right now. Fun fun. Still wish matt would give us a place to donate to.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
[MENTION=5530607]Moody66[/MENTION] you know how PAC rom has that "PAC Settings" and inside it you can customize different features like Navigation, Notification Drawer, status Bar, System, & different Miscellaneous" features. Is PAC rom really CM with thoes features added?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
When you make a ROM you customize it however you want. PAC uses Matt's tree and adds whatever features they want.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
whos matt?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Check toms Google+
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
your talking about this thread?

https://plus.google.com/app/basic/stream/z13eepz5eqjhjpnsw22njvb4vvrmwlol0

I do follow it but no one is saying anything useful ever. lol. I understand tom got the original CM to boot and then some how out of no where (were I lack the info) CM gets released the same day week as B309 from Huawei. where did the kernel come from? Then the updates stop after the front facing camera issue got fixed. The PAC Rom comes from no where and is working way better then CM and some guy says he will do updates weekly or bi weekly (last night was last release). to my knowledge all these bugs (battery really) is because Huawei will not release kernel? Tom Marshall says he is getting the kernel for us.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Lol the CM we are using is a PREVIEW of official more or less. You would have to have the understanding of where it all comes from. Go to the pac thread and click on the kernel source link. U-ra and Matt and not sure all who else that has commits. Should make sense then.

http://xdaforums.com/ascend-mate2/development/rom-pac-rom-lp-mr1-beta-2-t3186673. Notice it lists mdmower... That is Matt.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
No I'm understanding as your explain the missing gaps for me. I know who those screen names now and the light bulb in my head turned on. Once CM is official does that mean it becomes "nightly"? if so what does that mean?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
It should. Hmmmm explaining nightlies. CM isn't just a particular ROM. Its an entire database for the lack of a better word. CM makes changes and whoever is supplying a ROM for a particular device SYNCS with any changes CM makes. That make any sense? Sorry I am not good at explaining things. Lol
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
yes from what I'm understanding is if your device makes the "Nightly" list it will get updates like Microsoft pushes out updates via "windows updater" so the benfit to being on the CM ROM if it gets put on Nightly is it will get the "security updates"? what updates are we really talking here?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
CM has multiple categories when it becomes officially supported by Cyanogen Inc. Those categories are the following:

Stable, Release Candidate, M-series and Nightlies.

- The Stable version is the tried and tested variant of the firmware proven to be mostly bug free and suitable for daily use. The latest stable version is available for an assortment of the officially supported devices.

- A Release Candidate (RC) build may not be the final version, but a variant that has no fatal flaws or bugs, on the stabilization stages to become the final product that is the Stable variant.

- M-series releases behave similar to the RCs, but are considered ‘stable’ for the average user.

- Lastly we have the Nightlies, which are as volatile as a firmware can get. These releases keep coming at an interval of a day or two and if you do end up trying one of these, do not be alarmed if your device goes cuckoo on you. These ROMs are largely untested, and as advised by CyanogenMod, not meant for use for an average user. These releases, are meant to test untested waters that may or may not break your phone. So if you have no development skills whatsoever then please know you take full responsibility trying out a nightly release. But the saying goes with any release for that matter.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
That was so helpful
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
No problem, and as for PAC Rom, it is a bit of everything which is the idea behind it's name. The PAC source takes a bit here and there from CM, Omni, Slim and so forth but also includes it's own special touches to give its own uniqueness.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
And Carbon?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
Same thing as PAC but with it's own uniqueness that distinguishes itself apart from the others.

Pac just updated and we are told we have to be on B322 stock to update the latest. WIll this be the case for a CM12 update also?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Yes. PAC is built off Matt's github. Just make a backup of 322 in twrp and you can just flash it back using restore in twrp. Problem solved. I did that from day one just in case.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
Noob question. Does that mean if I'm currently on CM I have to go back to 3xx and then upgrade to 322 if I want to flash this or any of the other custom ROMs?

Have to be on 322 BL.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] nrfitchett4:
Having to flash back to stock, upgrade to 322 just to flash back to this is going to be a pain. One of the reasons I tried this is because the 321 update kept failing even though I was completely stock, no root, no custom recovery... Oh well, I'll still end up doing it.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
1. Download B321 Recovery from:

https://drive.google.com/folderview...sharing&tid=0B-nJFDpWA4MdVjhEYzU3TXlMZ0U#list

2. Copy recovery to your adb folder (usually c:\adb)

3. flash recovery using ADB ( I recommend renaming the file to something easier like b321recovery.img so it will be something like "fastboot flash recovery c:\adb\b321recovery.img

4. Download B322 Image from Huawei Site:

5. http://consumer.huawei.com/us/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=52043

6. Unzip and copy dload folder to your SD Card on your phone.

7. Power off phone and do the following.

8. Turn off the phone. Hold vol up+vol down+power until the Huawei logo comes up and then release only the power button. Keep holding the vol up+vol down until it starts upgrading/installing.

10. Once phone boots go to about phone and keep clicking "build number" until you unlock developer options

11. Enable "USB Debugging" in Developer Options under Settings.

12. Download TWRP 2.8.7.0 from:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347796529

13. Flash TWRP same you you flashed stock recovery in step 3. (I would rename to twrp.img) (fastboot flash recovery c:\adb\twrp.img)

14 Boot back into TWRP and restore your backup or install new build.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] TheGeekRedneck:
Sure you can, as long as I can ask why you seem to be bent on pushing Pac in this thread.... ;)

Honestly, I tried PAC-ROM back in the CM9/10 days on my old Galaxy Nexus and didn't care for it much at all. At the time they seemed intent on adding as many random tweaks and additions as they could without much regard for stability or usability and from what I've seen that really hasn't changed much. They also have this annoying tendency to move settings around - like moving things from where I expecting them to be and putting them in 'Pac settings'. Plain old CyanogenMod is very capable and the options and tweaks that are added seem much more sensible. No new addition or feature is put into CM without very careful consideration of it's effect and that's something I have always and will continue to appreciate.

But then that's the thing about having a choice... we get to use what we like! ;)
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
I think he asked the question because both ROMs use the same source and the current PAC uses a more recent/updated source compared to the CM source. Hence, the PAC ROM has less bugs. For example, with the present CM ROM, you sometimes have to restart the phone several times before your sim card gets detected etc . . . along with other optimization issues. I don't think he's forcing PAC on anyone. He's simply making a humorous statement.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] TheGeekRedneck:
Well I can definitely appreciate that... bug free is certainly a nice thing! :)

I'm holding out for those CM12.1 nightlies, however I might give PAC another shot just so I know I'm not missing out... no matter what no offense was intended! :)
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
According to Moody, the latest CM ROM by Tom (http://code.nwwn.com/roms/android/cm-12.1/) solves the battery issues we've been having on all the ROMs. So, you should definitely try that. Given that the kernel source has just been released, the next release of PAC will undoubtedly solve the issue, if not already solved.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
I noticed that the kernel used for this Rom currently uses two different by-name partitioning schemes lol. Not an issue at all but thought it was amusing.
