How do I import a vcf file, the list of all contacts? I can't find the menu button and we don't have a physical buttton for one.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] xordos:
In the contacts app, 'all contact' page, right top corner, vertical three dots, that the menu button.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] lowao:
I wasn't able to find it in those settings. They are different than stock.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Since contacts are backed up to your Google account just log in to it and save them that way.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] xordos:
Open the 'contacts' app, i think the screen shot you give is phone app.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
Have you tried putting the vcf file in a known folder on the phone, then navigating your file manager to that folder, and clicking on the file? I've had phones where doing that worked.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] lowao:
I tried this as well, and this worked as you described. Thanks!

Ha! I feel a bit silly for not checking this and I guess, assuming the phone app and the contact is the same/directs to one another is a bad theory. Thanks! This worked.

How do I merge my local contacts and google contacts together? Not all of my contacts are backed up to google, and I have been trying to fix this for ages. I have tried searching on google and asking my friends, but nothing. Any advice on this?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
Can you export the local contacts to a vcf file, then delete them out of the contacts app, then import the saved file and have it go to non-local?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
How many contacts we talking? Just curious?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] lowao:
Not too many? Just over 300 here at least quoted by google contacts. I try to stay on top of this. But locally, I don't know.

Please excuse the question if it is silly, but how do I delete only local contacts? Or do I delete all contacts and import the vcf again? However if I do that, I am not presented with an option to sync them to google contacts.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
I'm asking how many local contacts need to be added to Google?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
See the attached pics. Export to a file on your phone and use that file to import on Google contacts on the computer. I attached pics
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
From your contacts app, is there a setting to view only local contacts? I use PAC-ROM, so my contact app has three dots to click to get into Settings.

superbass311,

I wonder if all that can be done from the phone itself. I would think so.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
When you import it ask you where you want to save the contacts. Look at the SS
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
Thanks! So no computer required since it can all be done from the phone.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Cellomancer:
May I ask where you got TWRP v2.8.7.1 for the HAM2?? I've seen on Super Bass' video and now you have it.

I can only find 2.8.7.0 on the official TWRP Devices site. I do have 2.8.7.1 on my Samsung GS2, but I can't find it for the HAM2.

Thank you.

Sure quiet in here. What's happening out in cm land?

Checking out the github in OP will tell ya.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] mdkathon:
I've done some quick searches regarding crashes/force close on the forum when one manually changes the DPI on the Huawei stock 5.1 ROM. Is it possible CM12.1 has the same issue? Just did an install today and generally, it's great, but I am getting a lot of crashing when going into settings, and when I attempt to add home screens in Nova Launcher.

I've tried 240, 260, 280, and all seem to be having the same issue. It's not 100%, but at some point, the Settings gets out of whack and when I select any option (Apps, Battery, Wifi, Display, etc.) I get a crash which requires either a soft reboot, or reboot to "fix".
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Looks like this one is dead.

These nightlies work great! Thanks for all the work you are putting into it.

Can you port CyanogenMod to MT2L05 ?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Archon810:
All your links are corrupted.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] kimtyson:
Actually two of the three fail. They aren't "corrupted". One is to his personal G-drive so I guess he removed the share since it's old news. The other link to Huawei can probably be found if you try a little.

Edit: Here ya go, http://consumer.huawei.com/us/mobile-phones/support/downloads/mt2-l03-us.htm#anchor

But there are easier ways to get there, now. Do some more reading. Find the CM13 thread and try that instead of CM12.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Archon810:
The first 2 actually are corrupted - he probably copy pasted them and they got truncated. Look at the urls - they have "..." inside.

I already got all the files needed elsewhere and have a recent CM13 nightly on my Mate 2 now, just thought OP should fix the links.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] kimtyson:
My link above (which works) has the same "..." thing in it. Anyway, glad you got what you wanted. You enjoying CM13? __Off Topic__
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Archon810:
Oh come on, this isn't my first day on the Internet. Look at the actual links, not the text displayed. Your link is fine, but the links I was complaining about are actually broken.

As for CM13, I had a rough start related to gapps with nonstop crashing, but I was able to fix the few issues by adjusting permissions and powering through the crash popups that would show up every second. I am not going to use this phone much but I wanted to bump it up from Jelly Bean finally and decided to go all the way to Marshmallow because why stop at 5.1?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] vgs929:
How's this running?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] arcadesdude:
It's stable as far as I can tell. All the hardware works. The Auto (adaptive) brightness doesn't work. The app Lux does so the sensor is ok the CM software must be the issue. Performance is huge increase from 4.3 but battery drain is up too. I've had to underclock the cpu and will set up wakelocks soon to help with that though. Otherwise, works really well/smooth.

I haven't seen any updates despite it being 'weekly' though. I guess all the devs jumped ship and went to CM13?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] lowao:
I am having a bit of troubles installing an Gapps on my phone. But installing the ROM does work. I keep getting the following.

"Error code 20.

Unmounting Sytem

Error executing updater binary in zip"

with version 2.8.7.0. I was on 2.8.7.1, but I got the same message. I went to TWRP 3.x and that wouldn't work either. I forgot the error message. TWRP > Mount > System is not checked. I am stuck and I am not sure what to do. Thankfully, I have a backup which restores fine. But I would like to try this ROM. Any tips or suggestions?

Edit: I am idiot and didn't actually read the CM version I was downloading from this thread. It is Cm13 and I was using Android 5.1 gapps which was failing during installation. After reinstalling with the correct gapps version, 6.0, it is working now. I'll leave everything in tact to bathe in my shame.

TWRP 2.8.7.0

Cm12.1 20160721

Gapps 20160721
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] CTXCI:
I've downloaded all of the files, but I'm unsure what to do to flash the twrp. Can anyone assist me in doing this? It's been a while since I had to flash a recovery. Thanks in advance!

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] leo5111:
which is faster? 12.1 or 13.0?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] arcadesdude:
13.0 is better performing, faster and better battery life and feels more responsive too. Huge improvement over 12.1.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] FayBer11:
Okay
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] TheSchlaf:
OK, I bought a consumer cellular Mate 2, unlocked the bootloader, flashed to B322, and installed the version of TWRP 2.8.7.0 linked in the first post of this thread. Every time I try to flash a ROM, I get an unknown bootloader message and the flash fails. Anything else I should check before I try flashing again?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
You might want to check out this thread which is up to LineageOS 14.1/Nougat. I don't know if it works with the CC Mate 2.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Alucai Vivorvel:
Hi, first of all, thank you so much for doing this and allowing us Mate 2 users to finally have a custom ROM.

I just wanted to point out that it seems the Google app, and even certain menus in the system Settings, cannot access the microphone or camera. That includes "OK Google" on all screens, and face unlock. The Google app tells me it was unable to reach the microphone and to restart the device when I try to train it by saying "OK Google" three times. And the Face Unlock (under Smart unlock and Trusted face) simply fails and says "Camera isn't available" on a white screen with the dots that one would normally place their face in.

Edit: And apparently the "OK Google" stuff works now, so just ignore that, I guess.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
Maybe you have the same camera issue some of the others have?

I'm also debating whether or not I should flash this. I'm on 4.3 right now.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
I would wait or at least upgrade to B309. I had that since release and really like it.

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------

If it is using the front camera then yes it's sounds like an obvious camera issue we are having. The issue should be addressed in the next release... I wonder if that will be tonight or next week. Lol.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
Yeah I was on 309 when it came out but there were too many annoyances for me, so I went back to JB. If Xposed works on this ROM then I'll be even happier.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Alucai Vivorvel:
Out of curiosity, which Xposed modules do you use? Xposed is often a way of getting features built-in to custom ROMs (such as CyanogenMod) on stock firmware. I used Xposed all the time on stock B128, but after converting it to B148, upgrading to B309 and flashing CM, I see little reason to install it again. About the only thing I miss is being able to turn on the flashlight by holding the "Vol +" button.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
Most important ones for me are Screen Filter and GravityBox, but I assume most of GravityBox's options are in CM?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
I use it for you tube ad block and all my cracked programs most of them have xposed plug in. I also like gravity box.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
I don't have the front camera issue and these all work fine for me.

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------

What are your thoughts on this if I may ask? Does it seem like it won't be an issue to change it? I'm really in need of V4A on this device. That's the only reason I can think of as to why its not functioning.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
Disregard, the thing I found won't help.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Tried everything. All working for me. 309 then twrp and rom. Google stock Gapps. Yes... I know.. That's a lot of Gapps. But I don't have to hit play store to redownload. Everything has settled down and battery life is way better after it settling down. Saw data go away twice. But cane right back before I could even go into settings to check it out. Hasn't done that at all today.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
Any comments on battery life on this ROM? What about idle battery drainage?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Takes a day or two for L to settle down. So far it has been OK. Not like I was use to. But that is due to all the original syncing and Google things that always have to build a pool of data before easing off. Mine started out saying ten hours left in battery. Now it is saying 4 days. I will give it a day or two more then I can give you a better answer. It does seem cell standby uses a little more than before. Happy so far. Haven't installed xposed yet. Waiting in the settling. Love the screen controls. Like mine more blue than white. And adaptive is wonderful as it is.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
Some people reported issues on other devices due to it being set to enforcing and by changing it to permissive it fixed the issue. I cannot vouch and say this will be the case with this Rom but you can try it out. Just grab the boot.img and unpack it using this tool. The ARM directory in that tool is built to be used right on the device - I am the maintainer for it currently. The root of the source is to be used on your linux distro. You decide which to use.

Unpack and then open up the file, img_info. Look for the cmd line and change it from enforcing to permissive. Then repack and flash the boot.img. Report back with the results. Below pictures are merely visual guidance using a twrp recovery image as a simple example. With that said, in the first picture it shows the cmdline using permissive. It is. In the third picture it is highlighted showing enforcing. I know. I changed it to enforcing so I could highlight it and give you a visual idea on where to look for it :).
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
Ok, I gave in. Installing 309 now. I forgot, do I need root for adb?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
You needed to re root after 309
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
You know, I'm a bit of a battery life pyscho. I don't have any evidence to support this right now, but I think battery life on CC JB is the best, then stock JB, then stock L. I can almost swear that on CC JB I used lose about 1% of battery life overnight. You did have the CC HAM2, no? Maybe you can concur to what I'm saying.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
I always get 2 days easy out of my phone. I don't count the hours I count the days. On the 2nd night I need to charge it. I've been on 309 since release

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 PM ----------

If i install CM with my front camera issue will I have to reflash the rom for the update? I wana put it back on lol.. I don't wana loose everything.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Well thisnisnt same phone as I used to start with. But it is a converted CC. And I agree with what you just said. However. L does take time. I think this may beat it once it does. Fingers crossed.

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------

Just make a backup of data. And restore it after you flash. Then you don't lose anything. He could make a patch for the different cameras. Depends on how he wants to do it really.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
Well where is he at.. Lol I would have gladly bought him a steak dinner.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Harris.S.Newman:
Can someone post the method to root a HAM2 running CM?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
It's under development tools
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Harris.S.Newman:
What does that mean? What development tools? Where?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
Go to about phone and keep click build until developer options unlock then scroll down and you will see root
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
You will see this in settings after doing what Super said.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Experimental xposed works. As does Greenify. Used cpu spy. Cpu is very aggressive. Stays at max mhz most of the time. May be what's causing extra battery drainage. But this may work out is a day or two of use as well.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
Good point on the CPU. I have CPU Control Pro and am going to set it to max at 1305 and see if that helps with my battery life. I've been in deep sleep for more than 50% and feel like I should have more life at this point
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
I forget. Was yours a converted CC or stock. It won't harm anything to run the rom. If that's what you mean. Odd thing is people on stock and CC used the factory files and had no issues with camera.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
I have the real HAM 2 from Amazon. no CC for me. the Dev already checked and said my front facing camera is different and it has been added to the next release.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Awesome news. I was wondering if that was the issue. CC and stock being different hardware. We need more people to chime in and let us know what phone they have and if camera worked. I don't think anyone had any idea different hardware was used.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
this is the first I heard of different hardware being used. From what it looks like its only the front facing camera. I installed CM earlier today and everything was working except the front camera. [MENTION=3282752]u-ra[/MENTION] said the issue has been fixed and will be released in the next build. I'm flashing CM back now because I don't want to wait for them to fix it. hahaha Hopefully it will be released from CM updater so I don't have to re-flash the ROM and setup once again. I'm about to re-flash CM in a few minutes. (not like I take a lot of selfies, I can wait for the fix provided its fairly soon)
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Even if you have to reflash you can always dirty flash. Yep. I am loving it. Even with the possible battery issue. Still thinking it will get better as time goes by. Day or two made a huge difference on my HP Touchpad running L. Pretty even with KitKat on battery life now.

I just did not like EMUI at all. Personal preference I guess. Can't thank u-ra and the rest enough.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
My only fear seems to a reality ! Hope the dev takes a look at it.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Lol ha I enjoy the long battery life. I am sure it will work out. This rom was just compiled two days ago and as solid as it is I am sure it will get better. Chin up!

Experimental is the only one that will work. Flash it with twrp then install the apk. All set. Didn't test a lot of the modules. Greenify which ran perfect. Dunno about the rest.

I have the right version of TWRP but it still keeps giving me that error when I try to install.if anybody has the md5 hash of the new update I'll compare it to what I have but I don't think that's it because the last versions hash matched and it gave me the same error.
