Hello!

I want to ask - is there a way to enable 14 wifi channel?

I know, that this channel is allowed only in Japan. So I need some fixes in *.prop files or elsewhere for this to work.

I've tried different settings in build.prop and different local.prop files, but have no luck with 14 channel.

When I select this channel on my router (openwrt flashed) my X2 just looses wifi.

I can change *.prop files by myself but do not know what I should change exactly.

Any ideas?

PS: i'm running KV SLIM B211 now on my 703L.

Hello,

i had the same problem with the binary update . After restart i had to update again. So i installed your last Update from 09-01-16: Updated to the latest SuperSU 2.77. Now i don´t see SuperSU in the Appfolder. Is that ok ? Can i somehow check that SuperSU is installed ?

Thanks for the great Rom.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] goon-heaven:
Similar symptoms here with SuperSU update. Flashed update, flashed ROM.

but cant see SuperSU in AppFolder.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
[MENTION=7231792]Sebi1960[/MENTION] Navigate to /sbin and find and delete the su file. Then navigate to system/xbin and delete the su file. Then reboot the phone. When it asks to update the binary again say yes then choose normal then reboot. It will be updated and it won't ask you again. If you don't see the SuperSU app just download it from the Play Store.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Sebi1960:
Thank you for your quick answer.

I deleted the files named su in the folders.

Reboot

Than installed SuperSU4.3 from Playstore.

SuperSu asked for Update.....

Reboot

same Loop :(

but it is still workin , right ??

Thanks,

just got my 703L chinese

Hi everyone,

I just got a MEDIAPAD / HONOR X2 from aliexpress for $363 AU DOllars, BARGAIN!!!

it's the 3GB RAM, 32GB ROM model It's a 703L

I am finding it hard to use as some of it is in Chinese, I have factory reset and choose english asutralia

Still the huawei market is stuck in chinese as are other things like lock screen etc

If installing this rom, would the phone be in English? and would it come with the GOOGLE Play Store?

Lastly, this thread being 100 pages long,

can anyone in give me a general idea of steps to complete a custom rom install on this phone.

my phone is stock right now with 5.1.1

it has an ota 6 ready and waiting, I thought I'd wait as i dont want to install an update incase this limits my options!!!!

Await your replies..

MANY THANKS :)

Shaun
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Take the OTA update to B211. If you don't get it you can manually flash it by downloading the B211 update.zip and putting it in a folder in your internal storage called dload. Then go into Settings--->Updater and choose Local update and it will find the update.zip then hit update again. Then you have to unlock your bootloader. I recommend using DCUnlocker. See my thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/mediapad-x2/general/mediapad-x2-unlock-bootloader-root-guide-t3212325

Then you can simply fastboot flash twrp then flash this rom.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] toxsickcity:
Hi,

thanks so much for your reply.. BIG THANKS :)

Can you tell me if this ROM will have any Chinese language anywhere other then the lock screen as you mentioned.

and

This ROM should be fully compatible with my 32GB version of the MEDIAPAD X2?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
No Chinese anything after you uncheck those three boxes after the first boot and yes it's fully compatible with your 703L. Just make sure before you flash the rom you're already on Android 6. (B209 or B211)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] toxsickcity:
Hi Again,

I have my codes, tho I think it might be already unlocked as it's a aliexpress brought phone advertised as unlocked,

anyways my issue is this

everytime I try to use the fastboot with admin rights even!!

It always says waiting for device.

I notice in device manager "linux file-cd gadget usb device'" is my phone!?! weird.

I am going into the boot thing VOL UP+DOWN and Power..

not sure whats happening!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] toxsickcity:
I solved the bootloader, I was suppose to have VOL DOWN and Power! duhhhhhhhhhhh hahaa

Last question,

Can I install a ROM, by copying the ROM to the phones Internal Storage's Downloads Folder?

or strictly needs to be from a MICROSD CARD?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
It's up to you.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] hondajohn88:
Just remember: If you store the ROM file on internal storage, don't wipe Internal Storage in TWRP or the ROM file will disappear. Also, to get to TWRP, you need to press and hold VOL UP & VOL DOWN and Power.

:)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Good you found out, but this has been written down in the how to root and install rom thrads many times. Post 1 of this thread mention in red letters to proceed the steps to sock 6.0 before installing this Rom.

---------- Post added at 05:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 PM ----------

By the way: only format internal sd via EMUI not via TWRP, because the format changes. After that copy the kangvip Rom.

Sorry the advice is not correct: Vol+ vol- and power key will start firmware dload. If TWRP is present in recovery 1 partition, it will indeed start TWRP, but I advise to use just vol+ on reboot.

Hi, everyone.

I'm trying to lower the system wide dpi to below 320 (I'm trying to get 260).

As the lowest we can get is 320 using the K Settings, I tried editing the build.prop file. But no matter what I do to both "ro.sf.lcd_density" & "hw.lcd.density", nothing changes the dpi.

Am I supposed to edit another ".prop" file that might be overwriting the build.prop?

And I'd like to say a big thanks for AJ for this amazing ROM. I've just upgraded to the Mediapad / Honor X2 from the Xperia Z Ultra :)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
add qemu.sf.lcd_density=xxx to the build.prop where xxx is the density you want. No problem. I'm glad you bought the X2. You got a pretty good price for it too ;)

Hi,

Your work on this ROM is amazing

Thanks so much for your efforts

Works 99.9% fine

I have 1 issue only.

I brought Nova launcher long ago

Every time I try make it default, nothing happens

It seems my first attempt scrools screen down. After first attempt nothing happens at all..

[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Updated new build with new material VUi theme by [MENTION=6139794]venom007[/MENTION]. Please visit his theme thread in the Theme and Apps section and thank him. Updated to SuperSU 2.78 as well to hopefully fix the binary update issues. You can flash the new SuperSU 2.78 in TWRP on your current version of the rom. You can download it here:

https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/supersu/download/zip/SuperSU-v2.78-201609011115.zip

After you flash this in TWRP you have to go into the Play Store and download the SuperSU app.

After reboot, GPS is fine again.

It only found at Android 6.0 not in Android 5.0

Dose anyone have any idea of it?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Yeah I fixed that right before you sent this.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
OK guys I finally figured out why the binary would not update. I had to update the su binary in the kernel. I added the new kernel to the rom and here's a flashable kernel that you can flash in TWRP to fix it.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] goon-heaven:
All fixed here too - had to flash ROM. Thank you AJ for resolving and for continuing to enhance your ROM.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Shaolian:
Hi, thanks. It works! :D

Changing the DPI to 260 would result in the Themes App crashing. But if we change the theme in the original DPI (or anything above 320?), and then change the DPI to 260, then it'll be alright.

Any DPI at 240 or below though, would make the Status Bar and Navigation Bar dissapear. So, perhaps 250-ish DPI would be the lowest possible.

Hi, regarding Chrome, yes tabs is somehow non-responsive below 325, but if we lower it further still (in my case 260), then Chrome will enter into Tablet Mode, and tabs will behave like in a large tablet, with "tab flaps" on top of its address bar.

Hope this info might help others. Cheers guys :D !

Update:

Upon further fiddling, issues began to crop up. I've managed to get everything working ultimately, with the ver B209 rom. Refer to my post #1132 in this thread for details.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] shaolin95:
Everything else looks good at 260? Like the dialer? I'm about to flash this now. Thanks
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Shaolian:
Yes, everything looks good so far. I'm still in the middle of trying out the ROM.

Perhaps the fonts on the Notification Shade looks a tad tiny on 260 DPI, but I'm used to it, since I'm on 260 DPI too on my Xperia Z Ultra.

Anyway, we can adjust DPI on a per app basis using the (already included in the KangVIP Slim ROM) Xposed Module "App Settings".

Hi,

See the photos of how emui displays recently used apps or aka Close apps screen with how much memory is free etc..

Currently your rom displays large kind of like the right side of the photo.. only able to see 1 full app and 2 halfs on each side

In emui which was Huawei stock rom

I like how it displays 4 windows in the layout..

For some reason I remember mine being 6 windows at a time

Is it possible to change this?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
There's nothing I can do about that. I'm not 100% sure but I think it changed to the single column recents in EMUI 4.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] J05EPH:
Hi, I have installed KangVIP B211 successfully, but for me is not working correctly changing density. It looks like it changes only text and some parts of ui, but not everything. I want to use one app which looks like smartphone ui when 400 dpi used, but when I change it to 360 it switches layout to tablet-like mode. I did it on my Huawei Mediapad X1 (Android 6.0) successfully and also on mediapad X2 (Android 5.0) it worked, but after upgrade to Android 6.0 - KangVIP B211 I am not able to switch to tablet-like layout. What I have tried:

K-settings changing dpi -> it changes only text and som parts of ui

EMUI settings to switch between small-normal-big -> it changes only text and som parts of ui

App Le DPI changer (w/o WM, with WM, edit build.prop) -> no change. After reboot dpi was back on 400(?!)

Manualy edit dpi in build.prop -> after reboot no change

What can I do to change density please?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Add qemu.sf.lcd_density=xxx to the end of system/build.prop where xxx is the density you want. Then reboot. You can also use Xposed App Settings to manually change the DPI or each app seperately.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] J05EPH:
1. qemu.sf.lcd_density set to 240 -> after reboot no change:(

2. Xpose App settings set to many diffrent values -> no change :(

What at least has some influence on density is K-settings and EMUI settings

Strange is that changing values in build.prop do nothing :confused:

(I tried to set up qemu.sf.lcd_density, ro.sf.lcd_density and hw.lcd.density)

Auto close of apps?

Hi everyone,

I have been using this ROM for a while now, LOVE it,

I have a small issue maybe someone can help me with.

I have ttorrent, torrent downloader.

for some reason it closes after an hour or so.

I think the system's auto close is turning it off all the time,

I have looked in dev options and in the settings area and cannot find anything that will help

My old XPeria Z Ultra didnt do that. Tho the xperia used Android 5.1.2

now using Android 6. and custom rom,

not sure what I can do to remedy the situation

does anyone have any advice?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Shaolian:
Hi, I've been fiddling with this ROM for the past few days, and these are my findings:

B211:

1) App Settings does not work, under any circumstances. Period.

2) "qemu.sf.lcd_density=xxx" does indeed work, but with an important caveat: we must NEVER touch the DPI/Density/View Mode in the phone's original settings. Doing so, the DPI set in the original phone settings will OVERWRITE anything we do to the "build.prop".

3) Any DPI at 240 or below will result in missing Status Bar and Navigation Bar.

4) At 260 DPI, it's impossible to sideload apps, as a certain dialog (to confirm Install?) is killed as soon as we try to install an apk.

B209:

1) App Settings works! Yay :D (Works on any app so far, except "Play Store" and "Settings")

2) Again, "qemu.sf.lcd_density=xxx" works, but with the same issues as cited above.

My Results:

I've ultimately settled on the ver B209 rom with the following tweaks:

1) Set DPI on the phone's Settings/Display/View Mode > Small (which is equal to 320)

2) Use App Settings on a per app basis.

Using these combinations (B209 rom), I'm able to sideload apk's, and by using App Settings I can individually change the DPIs on a per app basis. Take note that we would have to install/flash Xposed (v86 works flawlessly on Huawei devices) manually ourselves.

Everything seems ok so far. Hope this helps.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] toxsickcity:
Hi Everyone,

I am using the XPOSED APP SETTINGS.

this is how to fix the issue with apps auto closing
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Shaolian:
OMG!

Remember when I said that even on B209 ROM that I couldn't get App Settings to work on the "Play Store"?

Apparently, it does work, but it'll only take effect AFTER a reboot!

So, maybe App Settings will work on B211 too, but we need to reboot for it to take effect.

This occured when I had removed sd card and SIM, to use my nano sim and then set password.

I did not create vpn or encrypt the sd card or set password on sd.

No option here to enable.

I deleted credentials as I have found a hint.

Booted device afterwards, but still on this issue.

Go back to security setting and find "Device Administrators" and clear (disable) all checked boxes.

Once powered on again go into the security setting and find "Clear Credentials" and once again clear

Okay I supposed that. Although on nexus 6p I think TWRP can give access on sd if you know tke password.

On Huawei X2 impossible.

I had made Huawei backup of my data.

Then wipe data partition on TWRP and got resettled KangVIP back. Sd was cleared like the format sd on factory reset. So all data was lost.

I recovered huawei backup and got back all data and apps and settings :)

Set password and tried to remove password. Now it works.

So I thing the issue was a result of several dirty flashs.

Hi,

finally I'm more or less happy with the new ROM, I replaced the Huawei-launcher with the Nova Launcher, where I can select landscape mode as default what works for most apps/screens.

I also replaced the Google keyboard with the ai.type plus keyboard, what gives me the numerical keys on the keyboard.

But I have problems with (at least) two apps, that should run in the background, what is not working at all.

First one is "Twilight", an apps that reduces the blue light in the evening, it works if I start it and leave it running, but if I restart the tablet it does not come up automatically nor it stays active if I close the window. On my other tablet it works as expected.

Second (sort of) app are replacements for the lock screen, they are named "Lock Screen Pro", "Picture Passcode" and "Picture Password". Same problem as above, I don't get them running in the background.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot,

kind regards thgxda
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Make sure they are enabled in permissions manager to stay on when the screen shuts off. Make sure they are in the list of apps allowed to start. Go into Phone manager and into the menu and Dropzone management and make sure they are allowed Dropzone (the one thing no one knows about but it's important) Go into Apps, and make sure those apps are allowed all permissions. If all else fails, move them from data/app to system/app and set the permissions (0755) That almost always does the trick.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] thgxda:
this setting I can not find.

Well I don't like to give an app "all" permissions, but I'll give it a try:

In Apps:

Twilight - Permissions:

Your location: enabled

Set individual permissions:

Trust this app: enabled

App auto-launch: enabled

Dropzone applications: enabled

Permission manager:

App auto-launch:

Twilight Launch with system, launch in background: enabled

Dropzone manager:

Twilight allowed: enabled

Then I start the app, make the settings I want and restart. After login the screen stays white, but a second later, it turns to red, so it seems, that Twilight is working now - only change was "Trust this app: enabled". In the app-settings I also have the "Force stop" button now. But the app seems not to run "really" in the background, it's window is not hidden, if I close it, the functionality is gone.

Same now with "Lock Screen Pro", same settings, first difference:

Permission manager:

App auto-launch:

Lock Screen Pro Launch with system

Dropzone manager:

Lock Screen Pro allowed: enabled

But this one I don't get up and running at all, I will try an other "Picture Password" apps now - or does somebody has a recommendation?.

Will have a look at this later,

Thanks a lot,

kind regards, thgxda
