HONOR X2 EMUI4.0 B212 is out... (OTA)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] shaolin95:
Cool although I am losing faith this whole GPS thing will ever get fixed. I love this phone so much but man it hurts having to either keep an app running your GPS all day (hurting one of the big advantages of the huge battery) or restarting any time I am stepping out of home if I need GPS. Oh well.... :D
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
If someone can go back to stock B211 then take the ota to B212 then zip up their /system and send it to me that would be great.

Also the GPS issue, is it happening on all models of X2 or just the 703L.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Where is the location of the ota download? What to do after the download is finished: press cancel on the dialogbox, or copy it before clicking to prevent it to be deleted.

My device: 701->703 B211 xposed 86
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
When you can get the update.zip or you get the ota, let it update then after it reboots send me the /system.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] E--Man:
Thank you for letting us know!

Do you know if this fixes the GPS issue? Thx
[Huawei MediaPad X2] trurl3:
Your welcome... Sorry, no.. I had hoped that the information will raise the interest of someone who knows how to use it... :) We have to wait and see...
[Huawei MediaPad X2] E--Man:
AJ, I am just seeing the earlier replies of this thread including yours. Just wondering what this would give you because the GPS issue started in B211. The last time there was no GPS issue was on B112 EMUI 3.1. As such, wouldn't it be better to have B112 files to compare with B211 files?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Maybe the GPS issue is fixed in B212? I figured everyone would want to try B212 but I guess I'll just keep the rom based on B211 and not worry about B212.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] E--Man:
That could be true, but I knew for sure it worked in B112. I for one hand not yet received the OTA and I tried to check over 50 times and even clearing the Updater app data - no luck.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] trurl3:
Is it really so much trouble with making 'Simple Google with root" from new B212? I will be for it, at least for try... Although will miss KangVip settings...
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I can do whatever you want
[Huawei MediaPad X2] trurl3:
Thank you in advance. What you need from us to make it?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] shaolin95:
Man if it really works on B112 I am tempted to go to Lollipop just to get this fixed. I think I am more bothered by the GPS issue than by any features I loose going back.... But I will wait for that new one that just came up in case they fixed it. lol
[Huawei MediaPad X2] E--Man:
For those who received B212 OTA, which country are you in? I am trying to check for updates constantly in the hope of triggering OTA but so far no luck. Anyone know any tricks?

Here you are: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1qvachnhhihxo8a/update.zip?dl=0

But it is just an incremental update with only 183 Mb. We can not flash it.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] trurl3:
Why? We can, if we are on stock B211...

Boys from 4PDA found two upgrades, both OTA GEM-703LC233B212:

1. From 2016.09.26 - 184 МB presumably B212

and another

2. From 2016.10.24 - 44.91 MB http://4pda.ru/forum/dl/post/9085394/2016.10.24+GEM-703LC233B212.rar
[Huawei MediaPad X2] vuhongduong:
I am on B211 stock and I can not find the way to flash this (184Mb) incremental update.zip. As I understand, no one can do that.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] trurl3:
OK, I was not trying myself... Normally it should be possible by EMUI update or "three finger salute" (put update.zip in /dload folder and after switching off press VOL+&VOL-&POWER at once). Of course you have to have stock recovery either.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] vuhongduong:
People talked about that long time ago

[Huawei MediaPad X2] trurl3:
I see... Unfortunately I have nothing to say about it. Sorry. Just yesterday i managed to recover my working KangVip B211 from nandroid backup after one day waitng for OTA B212... So now I will not go back to stock and try update from dload.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
It should work regularly, by putting update.zip to dload folder and starting EMUI update local.

If it's not shown, you may have usb drive connection to pc or named it update.ZIP . It's case sensitive.

My device: 701->703 B211 KangVIP AJ Xposed
[Huawei MediaPad X2] vuhongduong:
There is no "Local Update" option.

Please give more details about "may have usb drive connection to pc or named it update.ZIP"

Thanks.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
I meaned that a name update.ZIP can be reason Why it's NOT displayed.

So simply put this one file update.zip (all lowercase ) in dload folder on ext sd card.

Delete dload folder on internal sd.

Check with files app that there is a dload (lowercase) folder on external SD in root directory with one file inside.

Unplug usb.

Goto settings, update and press icon below to get a menu. Tap local update.

In the flowering list it displays incremental update.zip. Tap it to install.

If the icon for local update is not active, you are not on stock b211.

It's not enough to do a factory reset on KangVIP.

My device: 701->703 B211 xposed 86
[Huawei MediaPad X2] vuhongduong:
My X2 is on stock B211 now and there is no Local Update option when press Menu.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
There is no local update in EMUI 4. You need to receive the OTA or wait until Huawei releases the stock B212 ROM on their site. After EMUI 4 Huawei has become terrible with updates. It's another reason why I ended up buying a Mi Max. They update every week and provide flashable zips and fastboot roms.

The X2 really needs a CM13 based rom but with no kernel sources it will probably never happen.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
In this case trurl3 shows the possible way. Turn off the device

Remove usb cable.

Press all 3 keys and release power key when screen comes up.

This starts dload update.zip

My device: 701->703 B211 xposed 86
[Huawei MediaPad X2] vuhongduong:
No, it does not work. I did nearly all possible ways but failed. The reason for that [MENTION=1397125]ajsmsg78[/MENTION] mentioned above.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] jojox1:
Hi all,

Thanks for the Kangvip rom.

The NFC don't work with this rom ?

Thanks for confirm.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] shaolin95:
Well if we take into consideration that the mediapad X2 does NOT have NFC, I am pretty sure it is safe to assume, it does not work with this ROM. :D
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Actually the rom supports dual NFC, enables the hidden extra 4gb of ram, unlocks the 128gb of built in storage that Huawei disabled and enables the QHD screen resolution which Huawei also disabled. I would definitely flash it if I were you.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rhonald:
Did you try to click the "DOWNLOAD LATEST FULL PACKAGE"?

Maybe it will lead you to B212 :)

Guys kindly try because I'm not on the stock rom right now :)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] vuhongduong:
It did not work too.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
What didn't work? Did you had flashed back the original recovery.img?

If the download didn't work, you can try to trick it out: press download and then pause if possible, or turn off wlan and data.

Then copy the update.zip to that hidden folder on internal SD which is used for ota . Use total commander to display hidden directories. In one you find update.zip our update.app, which is currently downloaded. Delete it and then copy the update.zip to that hidden folder.

Then turn on wlan again and continue download. The downloader will stop immediately and offers to install.

Good luck

My device: 701->703 B211 xposed 86
[Huawei MediaPad X2] vuhongduong:
At first, I am on Kangvip rooted rom B211. Then I flash back to stock rom B112 then OTA update to stock B211 (with stock recovery, of course).

I must say again that we have no way to flash this incdemental update.zip in EMUI 4, even with the trick you mentioned above.

Please do it yourself then post here if succesful.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] E--Man:
Still haven't received any OTA yet. I am on B211 Stock. I don't think it's by location but rather by IMEI. Different locations don't seem to make a difference. Anyone know of a way to trigger OTA?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
It's definitely triggered by IMEI ever since EMUI 4. You should be able to put the update.zip on your sdcard in a dload folder and then shut the phone off and while holding in volume up + volume down power the phone on and it should start the update process.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] vuhongduong:
I did this way already, it failed just after 2 seconds of updating process.

I have two X2, the older was registered beta tester but it does not received OTA update although.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Okay, it seems that the dload via 3 buttons press only runs the "full" update and not the update.zip incremental update. I tried this with the update zip for B211 and it only runs via executing from EMUI. I know the mentioned download interrupt trick, from Leo, who did this successfully with the B211 update.zip. But if you select to download "full package" the download starts with an update.app (not zip) . So this is the reason why it does not worked for you.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] jojox1:
Thanks for your help.

All what we know you can read on the last 3 pages, even that AJ offered to build a new ROM if someone of us would get the normal update via OTA and send him the system folder after update.

The zip file we already have, seems not to be suitable to install it via the common methods.

Is it possible to multiwindow with this rom? Had it a while just wondering if it had this feature.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Bearses:
Not sure if this has been discussed already, but this morning my 703L started acting up. All the settings reverted to defaults including k-settings, i lost all app permissions, the camera stopped working, and several apps (for example spotify) started auto-crashing as soon as I opened them. Was there some kind of EMUI update? What's going on. This just happened out of the blue, and my phone is borderline unusable now. Has anyone else had this issue? I'm on KangVIP obviously.

That happened to me on my Mi Max once. I had to restore a TWRP backup and then all was well. Make sure you do a backup after all you apps are installed and your settings are set, this way you can just restore it if there is a random problem. It never happened when I had my X2 though.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] super_sonic:
For me, its necessary to reflash xposed each time I flashed this Rom...
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Shaolian:
Although I'm not on the latest KangVIP, I'm on ver209, I think App Settings does indeed works, for all apps (including system apps). But the settings only comes into effect once we REBOOT the phone (as opposed to just rebooting the app).

In KangVIP ver209, AppSettings works "on-the-fly" for apps that WE install ourselves, that is, just by rebooting the app (that we want to change the settings). For system apps, or apps that came pre-installed, we'd need to reboot the phone for it to take effect.

For the latest KangVIP, maybe the "on-the-fly" changes is not possible, every changes need a phone reboot.

Lastly, as for the Chrome issue of losing "tabs", there is a workaround. If we set DPI lower than 260 (or something like that, I'm not 100% sure), then Chrome will enter "Tablet Mode". Then, tabs will reappear, on the top side (just like it does on tablets). I'm personally using 250dpi and screen (dp) of 800x1280.

You can try my suggestions and see if it works. Cheers!

PS.: I'm using App Settings ver 1.13 btw.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] MarsBless:
interesting issue

hey guys

I recently received my mediapad 2 and went through the process of updating through the updater. i then went ahead and went through the root/unlock bootloader process then updated to this rom. Eerything is working fine except the camera which now gives me an error " cannot connect to camera"...

Initially when testing the phone out the box it worked fine and it was only after did i experience this issue. any help on fixing this issues would be greatly appreciated
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
A reboot is not necessary. Simply kill the app via taskmanager and then start the app again after you have made changes in AppSettings

But I can not force chrome to tablet mode, I tried many combinations, but it did not work for me.

Which setting did you use general (tune dpi in KangVip) ?

Did you set any other settings in Appsettings?

Maybe it's something different in B112. You said you are on B209 Kangvip?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Shaolian:
Yes, I'm on B209, but if I recall correctly, even when I was on B211 (the Sept 2016 ver) I was still able to force Chrome into Tablet Mode.

I'm using App Settings 1.13. On App Settings, I've only tweaked the DPI to 250, and the Screen (dp) to 800x1280. But just tweaking the DPI to 250 is enough to get Tablet Mode on Chrome.

My General DPI (Tune DPI in K-settings) is 320.

Here are 2 screenshots of Chrome on my phone:
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Cryonics:
B211. Not sure how, but app settings worked once on Chrome. I set it 250 out of frustration. It worked, but I can't change it again after. Had to re flash ROM.

I gave up with chrome, gonna use dolphin instead.

On the other note, I can't seem to keep apps running on background, even after I use persistent notification. I'm using GMD Gesture Control to replace Navbar, had often to reopen the apps again to make it run like normal. I gave all available permission in 'phone manager', set power plan mode to 'performance', put it on protected apps.. nothing.

This is why Chinese ROMs are such a BS! Vanilla Android is good as it is, why should they mess this perfectly good OS with their crap. Now I remember why I put this phone away in my drawer a year ago.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Shaolian:
I was having the same issues with Whatsapp not giving me real-time notifications. Then I changed it to a system app by manually transfering its folders using Root Explorer (exact steps can be found by googling). Now it's giving notifications as normal. This can be further confirmed by checking its "app info", we'll notice that it's still running in the background. It seems that in EMUI, any non-system app gets killed everytime we close apps using the EMUI's built-in app switcher. Also, you'd might want to make apps like Whatsapp or Gmail to "auto start at boot" as well.

After changing Whatsapp to a "system app", I did the same thing to whatever apps that I'd want to keep running in the background, like Gmail, etc., just to be safe.

Yeah, I agree with you that all these "improvements" that the OEMs (Chinese OEMs in particular) do to the Android OS is just driving me crazy. And I really like this phone for its built, screen and the Kirin processor. For god's sake just keave the OS alone!

UPDATE 2 BELOW.

UPDATE: So far so good since yesterday. Used GPS off and on about 6 times at random times. More testing required to conclude anything... Looks like B212 OTA just might be the solution. <br />

<br />

*** PLEASE NOTE: The Google Maps app does have a minor issue but it does not seem to be the Huawei GPS module's fault - the issue occurs when closing and reopening the app and the current position shows as a gray dot as opposed to blue with no GPS notifications in the notification bar such as "Searching for GPS" or "Location Set by GPS". This is because the Google Maps app is not calling the GPS module to turn at that time, but if you start navigating then it DOES turn on and successfully gets a fix on the location - proof that the GPS module is indeed working. <br />

<br />

Waze does not have this problem. This shows the issue is with Google Maps not the GPS module. <br />

<br />

Does this help? <br />

UPDATE 2: So far so good at day 2,used GPS a few times to test and getting a fix is extremely fast under 2 seconds so that I'd an improvement as well. I did have a random reboot earlier today when turning off wifi but I consider this to be am anomaly of B212.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
I wouldn't turn it off, let the automatic do this. This should work and turn it on when needed.

Since AJ wrote he is busy, let's think about a way how to get it and configure.

Not all models get tis ota. It seems restricted by imei. The file is present in a hidden folder after download and deleted after install.

So if anyone next get the ota, please make a copy via total commander or other tool which can find big files on internal sd via search. [MENTION=218518]E-MAN[/MENTION] did you have problems on installing supersu?
