I asked that before and I THINK it was SHM who said it's possible but not really feasible. Don't quote us on that. But personally I can't ask for more at this point.

Huawei Ascend Mate 2 - CM12.1
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
Very possible assuming you have an external sd and are willing to format it ;).

Adapt this guide to your device and you will get what you want. It's very very easy to do. Has never failed me :). [MENTION=3266877]xordos[/MENTION] may have the intelligence to pull it off if he is up to it. I wrote that guide a while back under another xda account that no longer exists. Good luck :).
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Lol xordos may out of pure for the hell of it. Lol he's curious like me. I use to dual boot Android and ubuntu on a HP touchpad. Can be risky. If anyone does it it will be him. I don't have the time to put into it. Lol you about ready to pick another mate to just tinker with?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
I do need a new phone but unfortunately no lol. Just bought a new computer today and am currently working on removing windows from it to get linux installed and set up my build environment. Xordos could easily do this though, hence why I mentioned him lol. May take one or two tries to get it just right but he would figure it out. I can do it all straight on my phone which is what that guide is originally based on, so yea, it's relatively simple. Just requires common knowledge at the end of the day.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Flashing back and forth to make comparisons I have found that the preview CM runs all 4 cores a lot more than stock rom. Stock rom settles at one core then up to two then three etc. CM seems to stick all 4 cores together. Stock runs 787 mhz most of the time. It also goes to sleep much faster. MPDecision issue maybe? Just thought I would throw that in for info gathering. [MENTION=3282752]u-ra[/MENTION]

I do t know what yall are talking about. I take my phone off the charger yesterday and used 2 hours of Google map directions (on screen and gps and wifi) why also using my hotspot in the car for Pandora on my car radio and then when we got to the beach I listened to Pandora all day streaming to my Bluetooth speaker then used it again later to navigate to a restaurant. When I went to sleep yesterday I was at about 46% that a a 2 day battery to me... I'm gonna do it again today to navigate home after I stay at the beach streaming Pandora all day then navigate home (2 hours away) my battery is the same on this rom if not better. However I have no-frills cpu running slow as it can go without lagging the phone. Maybe try that guys. See pic
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
I only got 3 days out of my battery when I was on 4.3 and was actually using Huawei Power Profiles. Now all I do is put my phone on priority notify. It's the power app you guys are missing that shuts off wifi and data and stuff at night. (hibernate)

What's the best battery monitoring app that still logs after I charge. The stock graph resets after each charge.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
You are under clocking it from 1.6 to 997 to accomplish that though. So something is definitely off. But. It's only days old. Amazing what they accomplished already. Looking forward to the future with it. They definitely know what they are doing. As I said before this rim has been the most reliable 1st release I have ever installed. And I have flashed a LOT of devices with CM. Lol hundreds.

---------- Post added at 09:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 AM ----------

There is a lot. Better battery stats works well. I never used profiles. I always have WiFi running. Huawei didn't use anything below 767 or there abouts as a minimum. It's really about core control. When kernel source is releases in a final L it will help tremendously!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
YES! Bam! CM is finally here hehe! How many forms and riots did we have to endure to get not only L but also CM
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
LOL
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
I've had this phone a year and can't find any reason to get rid of it. I can never part with the battery and its massive screen. And now L CM! If it breaks tomorrow I'll up the same phone but now cheaper. Muhaha
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
GSM or CDMA? I run on Boost Mobile.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] tomlogan1:
GSM
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
Bummer lol. Boost is strictly CDMA unfortunately. But definitely appreciate your offer.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
I really wish they could just agree in one technology that works for all. So much money has been spent on the CDMA gsm war its never going to change. Not to mention the devices that would become unusable. Shame there wasn't a standard agreed to long ago.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
It won't happen. The expense it would cost to convert everything would be overwhelming and it would result in lawsuits to prevent it from happening lol. Meanwhile, I'm working on getting Lollipop running alongside linux on my pc (dualboot). I'm a geek :D haha
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Lol many many billion and as you said. Lawsuits for decades. Lol ya. You can't put it down! I have for over a year. If I had any available time at all I am sure I would be doing the same thing. Lol what distribution are you running?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] xordos:
OK, another task assigned on me. :) lol, just kidding.

But thats really a good reading, and can dual boot, man, that really cool. I will look into it thoroughly and try to apply on mate2.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
Best part is all you have to do is flash back the boot.img for that particular Rom and when you boot up that Rom will be there. All apps still in tact :).

What I meant is that CDMA is a superior technology from an engineering stand point, albeit more complex. GSM at full rate is just 26kbps and only 8 channels per carrier.

Any idea why my phone won't go into deep sleep overnight?

Ok, guys, I've allowed my battery to drain to 21%. I didn't play any games, videos or audio. I just sent a few whatsapp and viber messages, browsed a bit., received about 4 calls each lasting less than a minute. I had about a 4 hour screen time. Check the screenshots for more details.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] tomlogan1:
Port your number ? T Mobile or Cricket?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
T Mobile is out of the question. Don't do contracts :). Cricket is a possibility now that it's owned by AT&T. I got my Mother looking at getting the Mate2 and taking it to cricket lol. She wants one because of the insane battery life. Needless to say her and I have been playing 21 questions :-p. As for me, I may hold off for now since I just bought my computer yesterday. Besides, I can run Android on it like it was my own personal tablet ;).
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Consumer cellular is hands down best deal. Tried them all. As long as you aren't a data hog. Lol we have five phones unlimited texting. Like 2k minutes talk and 4 gigs LTE data for 110. No contract. Att towers.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] tomlogan1:
Am on Cricket but T Mobile does have no contract option.

I have to say that's the most bizarre thing I've heard today. :D
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
If you use an app to reply on here would that not also be a form of "texting". The concept isn't too far from one another. You type a message, send the message, and wait for a reply lol.

By the way, discussions here have gone a bit too far off topic from the main thread. Probably recommended to keep future dicussions on track. I'm just as guilty :-p.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Alucai Vivorvel:
I still text regularly even with 3 GB of data before throttling (WIND Mobile). Most of my family and friends don't have a lot or any data on their mobile phone plans as almost every carrier in Canada is overpriced.

Anyway, we're getting off-topic here folks.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ArkAngel06:
Here is my weekend of battery draining. Almost all WiFi, Bluetooth on and last night I left the screen on for about 8 hours overnight, just to see how it would do. So, subtract 8 hours for SOT if you wish.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
What's happening with my phone then ? I got only 4 hours of screen time !!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ArkAngel06:
I dunno, what was the WiFi vs LTE time? I'll be at work the next few days and I can test it on LTE.

I don't even use any apps like Greenify.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
For some reason, google services is taking a large chunk of the battery life. Take a look again at the screenshots two posts back.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
What app should I use to monitor my battery usage? Other then stock?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] TheGeekRedneck:
So far I'm still really digging this! It's like we got a brand new phone with this port of CM12.1!

After installing TricksterMod Kernel Settings (my tuning app of choice) and setting the minimum clock speed to 300mhz I haven't seen a huge decrease in battery life. I would say that battery life is a bit worse than the recent Huawei Lollipop beta releases, but not obnoxiously so and it's definitely worth the difference. I'd say I'm getting 7 to 8 hours of screen on time per full charge. I haven't tried changing governors or schedulers to see if I can increase battery performance even more.

Performance wise CM12.1 on this phone is fantastic. Like I said earlier, it's like a brand new phone both in terms of feature set and overall performance. Lollipop is pure elegance and it's a real shame Huawei felt the need to muck it up with EMUI on their recent updates. Hell, even the Lollipop easter egg works brilliantly which is something Huawei has managed to break in every single preview release of L/EMUI3 so far. I have no reservation about calling this early port of CM12 better and faster in every way.

Reboots? I have had ONE random reboot sofar, and I use and abuse the phone constantly so if anyone would be able to root out a potential stability problem I'd think I would manage. It happened while loading a game (Jackpot Party Casino, don't judge!) and only happened once. That may not even be related to our port of CM12 since lots of different handsets have random reboots with some builds of CM, it goes with the territory.

Bluetooth just plain works.

GPS just plain works.

Wifi just plain works.

Cameras just plain work.

Phone and dialing just plain work.

Really the only problem I can think to mention is that on occasion when rebooting or powering on the phone, the SIM card isn't detected. Another reboot always fixes it.

Simply brilliant. I've been seriously considering selling my HAM2 and getting another phablet like the Asus Zenfone 2, Alcatel Idol 3, or even springing for a OnePlus One.... but I feel like I can wait for another year now. That's pretty awesome stuff. :D

BetterBatteryStats
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
I also had the sim card problem but a reboot fixed it also. I had that twice.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
I've recharged my phone to 100%. I switched it off, switched it on again an hour later and there was about 2% battery gone. I then played some radio for about an hour with the screen on and to my surprise, I lost only 3%. One would expect a greater battery gain given that I lost 2% without doing anything and only 3% with wifi on, radio on and screen on. The only explanation is the phone is not saving battery while on standby. Apparently, it doesn't matter whether you use the phone or not, the battery drains at about the same rate.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Harris.S.Newman:
I too have had the Sim card issue,with a reboot fixing it.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Alucai Vivorvel:
The only time I ever had an issue with the SIM card was the first few minutes of installing the first build. It's been fine ever since, throughout updating to the latest build. A simple reboot fixed the issue, as is being repeatedly reported.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] nate5711:
I also had the no sim card detected issue , unfortunately a reboot did not fix my problem . had to uninstall cm 12,1 and go back to B309 . really enjoyed this ROM cannot wait* until the problems are solved , battery life was pretty bad to . My phone was a CC converted to 148 on AT&T
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
No MMS msgs again and APN settings are good. Any ideas?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Odd. But you are also getting way better battery life than the rest of us. Another oddity. Care to share what L you were running when you installed CM. And method of installing. That would help. IE what wipes you performed etc.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
What's your provider
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
Cricket
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Alucai Vivorvel:
I just noticed yesterday but confirmed today that I, too, have the 97% charge issue. It's at 96% half an hour after being unplugged, no way it got down to that from 100% so quickly.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Turn phone off and charge and see if it still says 97%..
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Alucai Vivorvel:
Turned the phone off, didn't give me a percentage but the icon showed it was full, then disappeared. I had difficultly getting it to reboot properly; even after unplugging it, holding the power button down for a forced reboot, it still went back to the battery screen. After the battery icon disappeared, the screen remained on but blank, and the green LED kept going. Again, this is with the phone unplugged. It wasn't until I plugged it back in that the forced reboot brought it back into the system. Now it's stuck at 98%, saying at 96% that it would take 2 more minutes to charge, then at 97% another 7 minutes to charge (still says that). That's especially ridiculous since I'm using the included 2A quick charge cable/transformer that came with the phone.

Edit: it seems it is getting up there, it's at 99% now. Lock screen says 5 minutes till full. It's just taking a really long time to do so, and it never reaches that when I plug it in overnight. Unless it really is draining 4% with half an hour of screen on time? Does that seem right? It definitely wasn't on B128...

[MENTION=3282752]u-ra[/MENTION] on the suggestion that I tag you. Any idea what could be causing a quick charge that slows to a crawl near completion?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Should tag u-ra in the post so he sees the issue.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] robertbarber:
I've run into more of an annoyance than a problem concerning WiFi. While connected it works fine but if I leave it on and walk the dog around when I get back within range I find out the WiFi has turned off. I turn it back on and its fine but is there any way to tell it to stay on or to turn back on without having to install another app or have to keep GPS on. I have it set to keep WiFi on during sleep and have the avoid networks with poor connections off. The battery profile is balanced. Any help keeping the WiFi on even if there's no connection nearby or one that its connected to before.

There is no reason to downgrade to B309 if on a newer build. Use the correct twrp, fastboot boot twrp, advance wipe everything except external SD and otg. Format data to fix portions and install. Every easy.

You have to upgrade to 309 first. OP says 309 or higher.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
For those having issues. When you boot into twrp to WIPE make sure you do an advanced wipe. Select everything but the last two selections. I reflashed using that wipe and haven't had the same issues. A standard wipe the first three installs and I had issues. Battery being the worst. Someone posted a screenshot of the proper wipe. Not sure where it is though. Once installed I deleted all the APNs except the one I use. No reboots. Battery life is back and my cell signal has been rock solid. No sim issue has not happened either.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
That was what I did from day 1. I did that again yesterday thinking along a similar line. Nope, battery kept draining significantly during standby.

Battery Test

Awesome ROM. Thanks man. Really appreciate it. So I did I great battery test today, in my opinion. It was my first day back to college today and I relied on my phone ALOT.I woke up at 6 AM. I had the brightness all the way up because I was outside most of the time. I was constantly going on the web browser to check my schedule and I was also pushing the school email automatically to instantly receive the emails and my mother called me soooo many times because she "missed me" then I went to work where i didn't use my phone much except to send an occasional text but j was still pushing emails. When I got hone, I checked social media like instagram, Facebook, snapchat and watched like 8 ten minute YouTube videos on max brightness, audio, and resolution. Its now 1 am and I wave 10%. Got through the day. Was kinda worried but I did it.

As far as settings? I set no frills CPU to 300-*900 with on-demand. Not many slow downs but I got in the habit of clearing my apps. And also, brightness was mostly at 50% or higher.
