Expanding on what I was saying earlier, 6.0 fully-featured custom ROMs aren't expected for a good while. It takes time to get it building for devices other than Nexus(es), let alone any QCOM device. Even PAC 5.1 doesn't have all of the features that was in PAC KK because it takes time to port them.

That being said, ETAs are no bueno in the thread. :)
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
Good enuf' to know it's in the pipeline ..... when you want to feed us more crumbs, you can - in the mean time we should not ask for updates :) .
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MT2-User:
Agreed.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] LeeMartinC:
Does anyone know which mod from xposed or theme makes the navigation bar transparent all the time?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Mozgus:
So I made the jump to 10-04 but I am getting google services error and permissions on SD card seem to be locked. I see you changed gapps packages but none of them install because they say my existing one is incompatible. What do I do? Flashing the old Banks september package doesnt fix things for some reason. For now I went back to an old twrp backup.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
What did you upgrade to 10/4 from?

Did you follow instructions in post 1 including using correct recovery?

Did you wipe dalvik and cache after flashing?

Several of us using 10/4 here.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Mozgus:
From 9/28. Yes and yes. All the other updates went fine.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
I have started using Open Gapps because I want the newer Google files. I have had weirdness with Google Play Services in past updates before switching Gapps - maybe coincidence.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Mozgus:
So I'm assuming I have no choice but to format so I can switch to a different gapps?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
Why don't you just do advanced wipe then wipe both caches and then internal storage and system (leave data) flash the new build and the gapps you want and you will have no data loss
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
None that I am aware of. The transparent NAV and Status bar for some reason only works fully with certain launchers on 5.1. Not sure why, even some launchers that feather a fully transparent status bar don't work properly. I use Apex launcher and have 100% transparency.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
I have not been wiping internal storage when upgrading to new PAC-ROM releases. Is that going to cause any problems?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
Possible.. Your having issues lol. Just do that every time. It takes 20 seconds
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
Here's a pic
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
I didn't need the picture ;) . I've been well trained by your previous guidance and videos. I just leave the internal storage box unchecked to save my internal storage files. So all jokes aside, is that bad to not wipe internal storage, but wipe the other three items? Thanks again!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] cypriotxx:
Hi there,

i have managed to install the B322 from B148 Thanks to divineBliss and SHM :) and and now i would like to install PAC-ROM where do i start what are the steps and files to install please ?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
Internal storage is where your gaaps is saved. You want to wipe everything but your data flash the latest build and then gaaps and then xposed if you want then reset and done
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Mozgus:
Still didn't work. Still have the storage problem. SD card has no permissions. Dogcatcher for example refuses to download podcasts to SD card. Any other ideas?

I know we have double-tap to sleep with PAC-ROM.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] cypriotxx:
all looking great but how do i put screen lock pattern password on this PAC rOM :) ?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
Are very nice feature of this ROM is the search in settings. Go to settings and search for lock using the search icon.

You got this far, so I know you'll find it ;) .

This ROM has a lot of very cool features, so you need to spend some time going through all the settings options to understand the capabilities/controls it has.

mmm the other thing is the camera , seems doesnt have "beauty face" mode like the stock rom .... any idea ?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
Is anyone having problems with the camera not saving pictures to the SD card?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
Yup me 2. I snap it but it does not save... Bug it.. Good find
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] robertbarber:
On Android 5.0 and above Android restricts you from writing to any folder on the SD card. You can have a program save files to a folder it creates itself but not anywhere else. Here is a YouTube video that explains this a little better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJHhrJfrYJw . As for DogCatcher I found this that may be of some help for that. it says in the description without root but even if if you have root you should be able to do this the same way as well.

Storage Directory

This is the directory where all the media (audio/video) and feed thumbnails images will be stored. Changing this value requires that any media stored in the previously configured location to be manually moved to the new location.

There are a few reason why you might want to change this.

•Your device does not have a file system mounted to [/sdcard] (like the HTC Incredible without an SD card)

•You have an internal SD mounted to [/sdcard] but want to store your media on an external SD card.

Here are the steps to migrate your media to a new location.

•Exit DoggCatcher

•Use a file manager to move your DoggCatcher directory to a new location. By default the DoggCatcher directory is at "/sdard"

•Start DoggCatcher

•Configure the storage directory preference to the new location. This will vary depending on your device. •HTC Incredible - /emmc

If blank, the default value of /sdcard is used.

This is from a forum post on the DogCatcher forums. you can find the post here http://web.archive.org/web/20120619233906/http://www.doggcatcher.com/node/277 .
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MT2-User:
Interesting in double-tap to wake up feature too.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Have you tried changing it to internal then back to SD?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
Yes it's snapping it for me but not saving it.

I realize that. We are on weekly PAC-ROM releases. Just saying it was working on the 9/29 build if anyone can't wait for a fix.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
[MENTION=4960802]thenameisnigel[/MENTION] can you mark 9/29 as stable. And then we can move forward with experimental builds. I know you know what I'm saying. You proposed this idea earlier last week
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] cypriotxx:
what do we do , when the new version comes out ? i cannot see any in menu to do auto upgrade like in CM12 ?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
Yep, it's not saving. This wasn't an issue until the latest build and using ES File explorer, if I want to go and delete something from the SD card it's back to this deal also. This wasn't an issue until the stock L updates came out. Never was an issue on these CM based ROMS until this build.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
I don't think PAC is doing that yet.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
You can dirty flash and won't lose your apps. You'll just have to install new PAC-ROM zip and Gapps zip over top of what you have.

Don't wipe data for future updates. If you don't like 10/4 because of external SD camera issue, go install 9/29 zip and Gapps and you'll be good. Remember not to wipe data (and I don't wipe internal storage when I'm upgrading either - we'll see what "the man" says about that).

New releases will be released today and Friday. Experimental today, stable Friday. In case anyone needs a refresher on the difference the stable/experimental builds, stable builds are tested by me and/or one other tester for at least a day or two before release and will include an updater. Experimental builds are released immediately after the build, and will include an updater too but probably won't get it until Friday because I'm working on M bringup + I'm lazy. ?

I keep having a problem when I try to flash the new builds without doing a fresh install. I wipe everything but data, install the new rom, GAPPS, and Xposed and then I wiped the dalvik and cache again before I reboot and after rebooting and optimizing apps I find out that Google Play Store and Google Play Services have disappeared. at that point I just went ahead and did a fresh install because if they disappeared what else did too. Weird thing is when I do a fresh install using the same GAPPS everything works fine. Also when doing a fresh install can anyone see if you can change what apps it restores from backup. I can deselect an app but when I go to select okay it wont let me select it or cancel. I have to use the back button on the nav bar to go back. The GAPPS I am using is the Banks GAPPS 8-18-15 edition. I use it because it doesn't have YouTube so I don't have to uninstall it to install OGYouTube . Any Ideas why it doesn't like a flash with everything but the data being wiped but on a fresh install has no problem? I am using TWRP version 2.8.7.1 mad by MDMower.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] cypriotxx:
Hi divineBliss hope you are well, here why we need the stock camera app which found it works better then the most camera apps with a lot of features..

There are a variety of shooting modes within the camera to give you quite a broad range of functionality and control with Huawei Mate2

Normal – Manual mode, full control over the settings. Some element of default for a reasonable picture.

Smart – An automatic mode that intelligently takes the best picture possible

Beauty – Offers a 10 level auto face enhancement, ideal for portraits.

HDR – High Dynamic Range that improves the lightest and darkest areas of a photo.

Panorama – A wide shot of the scene compiled through a series of images being stitched together

Filters – Applies filters/colour schemes/tones to the image live rather than after capture like most image editing applications.

Audio Note – Takes a 10 second audio clip with a single image

Audio Control – Triggers the camera when a certain decibel reading is achieved.

Best Photo – Takes 10 photos in quick succession from which the best one can be picked.

Watermark – Allows you to leave a mark on the image. Based primarily on your location, it can be edited.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
I thought we're not to ask for ETAs.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] robertbarber:
I figured I would ask it as a general question if he doesn't want to answer that's fine because we know it will be out sometime Friday. I was asking because I was wondering if I would be able to do the upgrade Friday night or Saturday because I have to be to work early Saturday morning.

One way to get the navigation bar back is Settings->PAC setting->Navigation , turn the navigation bar switch off, then back on and that should bring it back without a reboot if you don't want to reboot immediately.
