Do [MENTION=1397125]ajsmsg78[/MENTION] have an answer or a fix for it? what can cause this long boot up
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Long boot times were related to Xposed being installed but on the new KangVIP Slim and Simply International they boot much faster. The first boot should take longer but after you fully boot up the first time, each boot after that should only take around 30 seconds.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] naeemdurrani:
ok then i am gonna flash it kangvip slim again again now and will report back
[Huawei MediaPad X2] naeemdurrani:
i did dload b202 then flashed kangvip and then yippiee

long boot is gone now. the only thing left is mobile data, when i toggle it system ui crashes. when i turn it on from settings it turn on.

is there anyway i can copy simply international mobile data files to kangvip. because it was working fine in simply international. please help me with it.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] naeemdurrani:
i found the culprit!! i downloaded modded zedge apk from apkmb dot com after installing it each booting was taking more than 10 minutes. once removed it was taking 30 seconds as quoted by aj

Hello out there! Does anyone still have their X2? Has anyone upgraded to another device?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Germano1980:
I still have mine and using it. I bought the Mi Max 3 on Aliexpress, but the purchase ended up going wrong because the seller did not have the 6GB / 128GB version. I waited for 40 days until I got tired and canceled the purchase.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] goon-heaven:
Is there another device ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I've given up waiting for a really large device here in the U.S. and I bought a OnePlus 6. I really enjoy this phone even though it only has a 6.28 inch display
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Germano1980:
The Oneplus 6 is excellent, even with the screen of 6.28 "The problem is that here in Brazil, the taxes are so high that they make everything much more expensive, here a Oneplus 6 is priced the same as the Iphone X in the USA. I will wait a little longer to see if I leave the max 3 here or if I buy a Mi A2.

I'm still using my X2 with the 7/4/18 version of this rom on it and still is my favorite phone.

I am still using X2. This is a good mobile phone, thank you AJ for trying to optimize and will continue to support.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] frankf75:
Thanks to AJ, MediaPad X2 is still my daily driver. Great battery life even after almost 3 years, good screen for inside and outside.

But I guess soon I will replaced it with something new, something without the annoying noch.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] trurl3:
After almost 3 years I'm still use it as my main phone, mostly thanks to your ROM. I am looking for something new, but all new phones has this crazy screen ratio 18:9 which do not suit me at all...

Yeah I don't like it either.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] frankf75:
I bite the bullet and bought a Huawei Honor Note 10. Almost same screen but smaller footprint and no notch. AMOLED screen look great. Anybody interested in my X2 PM me.

The PocoPhone F1 was also on my list, but really hate that notch.

I am gonna miss this forum and specially AJ.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Thanks. This is probably the best forum with the nicest people that I've ever been a part of. In contrast, the OnePlus 6 forum is full of users asking the same questions over and over again and not much other ROM information is talked about in each ROM thread, only the same bugs that people are experiencing. There aren't many helpful people there. I try and help out the best I can but it's tiresome. The OP in most of the rom threads are a sh*t show and the devs never update the OP with proper flashing instructions or even if Video Recording works in a newer rom. Overall the X2 was one of the best phones I've ever owned along with the Mi Max. Hopefully I'll see you around on here.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] MalcomX:
Hi AJ, yes, my wife and I , we are loving this device and it is our phone, tablet, e-book and newspaper reader and a lot of more day by day..

It is possible to use it last but not least because of your great work to keep it alive by developing a rom for them.

Thank you again for this.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] gilaxone:
My wife still use it and today i've finally take time to upgrade it.

Flashed to Stock B008 then B206 then the TWRP-ENG-6.0-BLACK-BLUE and finally KangVIP+Slim+B212+v4+(7-4-18)

Everything seems fine, Bluetooth, Wifi, 4G, GPS, Photo

Big thank you for your work and advice in this forum !
[Huawei MediaPad X2] NeQ6SGN:
Hello,

Firstly thank you very much for your great work on this ROM. I have only found it rather recently and now I can use my X2 nicely again.

I do have something to report though. the newest version of this ROM that I have found is B212v4 (2-5-18) that one does not support third party VPN apps for me, it is however able to use the onboard VPN. Third party VPN apps such as PIA, NordVPN, OpenVPN are not able to obtain the necessary permissions as that prompt is somehow disabled.

This works in the version B212v4 (7-4-18) however.

Thanks once again for this great ROM :D

I don't think there will be anymore updates to the X2.

I am very sad to hear this, but it is also a very old machine.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
If Huawei releases any updates I'll update Simply International. I still have my X2 but I don't use it at that much anymore even though the battery life is still good.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] naeemdurrani:
I think huawei is looking forward to new devices with new chips which work faster. Nobody right now care about the old devices like x2. It was left alone long ago and you cant even find a new piece in a market. So all you guys who still hopes that one day..yes one day huawei will update this device. You are not living in this world. This device is kept alive by guys like [MENTION=1397125]ajsmsg78[/MENTION] and some others otherwise it was long ago dead. I am still using x2 but i am now looking forward to buy honor 10 from AliExpress as it seems like a better version of x2 by huawei. RIP the legacy of X2.

hi, can someone explain "Tune CPU GPU" section with those

"Power save 1 code + 1 big code"

and so on that are awailable,

anyone is using them and what difference you are geting ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
That's how to adjust how much power each core uses. If you choose power save you should get better battery life. I never used those settings becsuse the phone gets great battery life as it is. I leave mine on high performance all the time.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
New builds up in the OP. Re-based to B230, updated a bunch of apps. Added Magisk 20.1 Pre-Patched boot image. To pass Safetynet and have Play Store certification install the MagiskHide Props Config Magisk Module and then follow the instructions here:

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-magiskhide-props-config-t3789228

I have included two versions. The Magisk Version and the SuperSU version.

Also I have figured out why some apps like gestures stop working after 1-2 minutes. To fix this freeze or delete HwPowerGenieEngine from system/app.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] gruna:
installed version with Magisk. Still can't figure out why SafetyNet Test if failing and so are some banking apps
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Follow the instructions in my last post and Safetynet will pass and your banking apps may work. Mine passes Safetynet. You also need to Magisk Hide your bank apps. Go into Magisk settings and enable Magisk Hide as well.

[MENTION=1397125]ajsmsg78[/MENTION] Thanks for all your work. It's good to still see some support for this old tablet.

I'm currently on Simply International B207 (10-26-18) and see it crashing sometimes. I wonder if it's worth to upgrade to this ROM instead. But actually I was never sure what's the difference between simply international and this one here. Would you recommend me to change? Sorry if this is a stupid question but I don't mess with ROMs that much - I just want by tablet to work.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Simply International is built from the stock Global ROM and KangVIP Slim is built from the Chinese ROM but has KangVIP Tools baked in so you get some mods built in. I always ran KangVIP Slim on my device as I like ROMS with mods built in instead of having to install them separately.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] xdvsr:
Great product B230 is, [MENTION=1397125]ajsmsg78[/MENTION]!

#1

Cannot find "HwPowerGenieEngine", where is this please?

#2

When in "Dialer", cannot create contact from menu, must press various buttons to get there, why is this option missing?

#3

Went from B112 to B209 with update in dload, but that only worked because of UniversalCustB112.zip and b/c I flashed "BlueX2TWRPrecovery.img" into 'recovery' and 'recovery2', as otherwise it would not go into TWRP when pressing VolUp+Pwr.

Then it updated fine from B112 to B209, and afterwards to B230.

#4

Will there be Android 7, 8, 9 or 10 for the X2?

#5

The 'show all open apps' (square symbol) shows huge tabs and it is much harder to close them than in previous versions when they were all just double icon size, can you tell how to adjust this please?

#6

Where is the animated bulleted Huawei logo to be found, how can it be exchanged (e.g. to something more neutral)?

#7

Is it safe to get rid of the app 'Huawei Mobile Services' which seems to gobble up a lot of space?

#8

After flashing the B230, the internal disk showed about 10gb free of 32gb, but after the first PlayStore update it was nearly all clogged up, how can that be? Is there somewhere an app backup happening that could be switched off? How could one go about finding out what is going on?

#9

Could you detail the use of props to achieve SafetyNet: pass, since the instructions do not tell what/how to use the custom props (where are they? the listed ones are not for the X2). For the time being I have used one of those listed in props certified fingerprints for Huawei which have Android v7, but having B230 with v6, will there be any app incompatibility problems or will the PlayStore detect which Android version the device is running?

Thank you!

:)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Hope that helped!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Major_Tom:

I had the unlock key for the bootloader lying around for some years, but never did anything with it. A few days ago the need arised to put the X2 back to work - here we are.

Thanks very much for the good work.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Here's a little update on my X2. It has gotten slow to the point where I haven't used it. I ordered a new battery and I'm going to replace it and see if that fixes the slowness. If so then maybe a small update to the rom with updated apps for those who clean flash.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Clean flash the ROM again, something is draining the battery.

On a side note, the new battery did not help my X2's slowness. My little cousin is currently using the device for YouTube. I'm afraid I won't be doing anymore work on this device.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] dorpmuller:
I'm gonna wake up this thread... I just picked up one of these from Ebay. I've wanted one for a long time, 7" tabs now are real junk, so I'm *very* happy (y)

Actually came to me with this ROM but an older version which for some reason couldn't get internet access for tryin'. So I flashed the one here, all is good and I love it!

Only thing is, I wanna use my own lockscreen wallpaper but can't find *any* way to change it.

Could someone help?

I'd love to find another X2 just to have on hand but they seem really rare.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
I don't know about wallpaper in this rom. Actually I 've never been able to make the updating "magazine" wallpapers in simply international roms.

@dorpmuller

Contact me in private about an extra x2
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I received my X2 back from my little cousin the other day. Maybe I'll release another update in the future. The new battery I installed has some really long standby time. I left it on for the past 4 days and I'm still at 93% battery. I miss the long battery life on my newer devices.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
You've been able to find a spare battery, cool, did you change it yourself?

What do you plan to change in a future kangvip slim? And what about simply international.

Thx
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Yeah I found a non OEM one that shipped from another country but it seems to be as good as the original one. Standby time is really good now and the battery life is also good again. I installed the battery myself, it was really easy. When I have some spare time I'll see what I can do about updating Simply International with Magisk instead of SuperSU.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
The 703L I've sent you had a good battery state as far as I remember. Maybe you used it a lot, or not enough.

My battery is still OK, but maybe one day...
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I used it quite a bit with all the rom flashing I did. The new battery is awesome, it lasts forever like it did when the phone was new. i just wish the phone wasn't so slow, sometimes it's painful. The funny thing is I just stuck my SIM in it and I'm getting 3G somehow.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
to prevent it for being slow, maybe you should reinstall android 5 stock rom :)

Why is this funny to get 3G ? As the simcard is active....
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
The 2G, 3G and LTE bands the X2 uses do not support my carrier. I have a CellSpot, it's basically a mini cell tower that I hook up to my internet at home so I have service. The Cellspot uses the old bands so I still get 3G on the X2 when I'm home but as soon as I leave my house I have no service. I went back to the stock ROM already and it's still slow.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
Didn't know about tnose cell spots. Could be useful for a friend.

Even on Android 5 stock it is slow?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Yeah, I think the flash storage is wearing out. It has had a lot of writes and rewrites.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
Internal storage?

What about using a fast SD card as internal storage (android 6+ should provide the option, even if I've never see this proposed at SD forts introduction on any x2's Android 6.0)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Unfortunately that doesn't solve the issue.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
I plan to use a parftion of my huge Sd card to swap RAM. On Honor 6x it did accelarate the device, especially with many apps opened. Using this app:

AParted ( Sd card Partition ) - Apps on Google Play

App to manage partitions in your sdcard or usb device

play.google.com
[Huawei MediaPad X2] dorpmuller:
How did this work out? Any improvement?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
the sd card I had was a fake (very good imitation!). I'm waiting to a large proper original sandisk to try that, I let you know!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] thejackson5:
Does this version have more recent Gapps than your other ROM here? Obviously this is the newer release but it doesn't mention updated Gapps whereas the slightly older one does. Thanks much!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
They should have the same Gapps. The play store and play services etc will update automatically so I'm not sure that really matters.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
Hey @ajsmsg78 , I did turn recently to this rom for my daily device (yeah still using X2 as main phone!). Using simply international before.

I have 2 issues I couldn't solve by myself yet :

1) the toggle for mobile data in sliding-top-screen-shortcuts give me a force close only when turning on (not off), all other buttons work fine, and the toggle in settings also. cannot find any help on the web.

2) magisk manager prompt me this error at startup: "abnormal state running this app as system app is not supported, please revert the app to a user app.". I cannot update neither the manager, nor magisk (I am on 25.2, but update buttons are available, but installation change nothing) . I guess I have to reflash magisk, but as it is included in your rom, don't know exactly what to flash.

Root works fine, but in fact I want to use root-hide function, but cannot even find it in this version of manager!

Thnaks for your help with any idea!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
For the Mobile Data toggle I don't have that issue but maybe it does depend on what model X2 you have or what stock system you were on before you converted the device. Use the SuperSU version to get rid of that message as certain features of KangVIP tools don't work properly with Magisk
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
Got it for the superSU version. Unfortunatly I wanted tio hide root to some apps, so I thought it easily was possible only with magisk, isn't it ?

thks to keep replying
[Huawei MediaPad X2] thejackson5:
Would you be willing to sell your X2 running B230 for 200€?

I would I guess :)

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] nicholaschum:
So I installed CM12.1 on this bad boy, and I stopped using it for weeks. Come time I found the tablet and started charging it, it just keeps restarting and doesn't seem to charge.

Occasionally I could get it to recovery, but I would at least want to get it to boot up so I could use it.... Any help appreciated!

EDIT: Solved, what I had to do was:

- During the infinite charge loop with the big battery and thunder symbol, wait for it to show the Sony logo, then let it load the CM12.1 battery (small one)

- Then hold the power button until it goes back to the Sony logo

- Boot into recovery using the volume key at orange light, then reboot into bootloader (a blue light will light up)

- Then let it charge in that mode.

- Wake up in the morning and you'll have enough power to boot up into the tablet.

Hello,

i just got my Z5C yesterday and so far i´m more than happy. But there is one issue:

I use the AOSP Full disk encryption on the phone but it seems like the native Qualcomm hardware cryptographic engine doesn´t work well - i benchmarked the internal storage before and after, here are the results:

Before: read ~ 200 MB/s write: ~ 120 MB/s

After: read ~ 120 MB/s write: ~ 120 MB/s

(Benchmarked by A1 SD Bench)

I´m using a FDE on my windows 10 Notebook with an e-drive resulting in like 5% performance loss. The decrease in read-speed on the Z5C is noticable. What do you think, is there something wrong or is this a normal behaviour?
