Probably will not be posted there. Yes SHM as can be seen in settings menu. He has a lot of time invested in it. Several builds with several people testing. Its fast and smooth. And everything functions.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
Where is there? I wasn't talking about the Dual Boot thread if that's what you mean.

Why no Candy 6 thread on XDA under HAM2? How are the masses going to find out about this potentially great creation and share information about Candy 6? Where is SHM these days? :confused:
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
'So no XDA thread on Candy 6 yet"

---------- Post added at 09:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 PM ----------

That is the reason why. Questions... Whining and such. And the reason SHM left XDA.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divhandyman:
Been running this one since last night, and I must say this one was worth waiting on, Please tell SHM Thanks for the update very nice one.:good:

I want to try CandyRom, do I need to flash the fsf2 twrp first??? Step3 wants me to select data or cache is one better than the other or should I just use both of them???
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divhandyman:
Yes you need that option on twrp when you wipe and then repartition to fsf2.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] nate5711:
Ok, but do I need to use both data and cache partitions??? Thanks for the reply..
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divhandyman:
I wiped Dalvik, cache, data and system then drop down to the box below, "Repair or Change File System" change to fsf2 After that is done flash rom and gapps reboot.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] nate5711:
I want to try candyrom but I'm having a problem with adb trying to flash the f2fs twrp. Every thing is ok untill I come to the flash part, I get this message c:\adb is not recognized as an internal or external command. I'm using windows 10 pro, didn't have this come up when I first flash twrp last year. Anyone know what's going on??? The command propmt works for other commands.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
Are you in the directory where adb.exe is located when you are typing "adb" ? :)
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] nate5711:
It's in C programs files, yes I'm typing adb. I like to use android studio this is what I used when I first flash twrp last year. But when it didn't work I use the one super bass used. 15 sec adb.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
What is the output if you type "dir adb.exe" and "adb version" ?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] nate5711:
dir adb.exe Volume in drive C has not label

adb version Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.3
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
So what steps are you following when you get the adb error?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] nate5711:
adb devices gives me my device

adb fastboot flash recovery twrp2103.img waiting for device

unplug phone volume down power go into bootloader

plug phone back up I get the error saying couldn't load twrp
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
Try following this:

I have not installed Candy 6 on my phone and it's been a while since I installed TWRP.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MT2-User:
To "update" your TWRP without computer:

1. Download new TWRP.img on Mate 2.

2. Boot into TWRP.

3. Click "Install" button.

4. Click "Zip" botton at the bottom right, and it should change to "Image".

5. Locate and select your newly downloaded TWRP.img.

6. Choose to install "Recovery" but NOT "Boot".

7. Reboot into "Recovery" and you will in your updated TWRP.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MT2-User:
The one you just installed is 2.8.7.1 WITH modification.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] jordant2:
Had to try this ROM. Everything works well but the camera is buggy as stated. I actually found that deleting the android camera and gallery, then installing google camera and photos from the play store helps quite a bit. Now I only get a "can't connect to camera" when switching between pictures and videos. But its corrected when I close the app and then reopen. It doesn't require a reboot to open the camera.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
If you were in the latest candy 6 that wouldn't be an issue. The stock camera will crash on occasion but will start back up with out any issues or reboots. Changing camera apps will not solve the camera issue. It has been worked on for some time. Still being worked on. With the latest C6 you don't have to flash a special camera so any should work.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] nate5711:
I'm now on candy 6,very nice rom once again thanks for the help. They say you learn something every day and I just did.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MT2-User:

Is anyone experiencing a huge battery drain due to WiFi ? I'm on CandySix and my WiFi has been off the entire time. Please take a look at the screenshot.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
If you are on Candy 6 give it a day. A second charge . That will resolve any issues.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] jordant2:
I was seeing this too but I'm not sure it's effecting anything since I have over an hour of screen on time. Overall I really like this ROM, I guess this is the unofficial support page!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Is now anyway. Lol. It is still developing though.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] robertbarber:
New build is out now with some new Optimizations to increase speed and battery life.. Camera should be 100% fixed also. For an list of what's changed, the changelog is in settings under about phone. This build will require a clean install due to all the changes made. you can find the link for the new build here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24389512218018179

I have a question, not a request. My question is does anyone have tasker and if you do does it work with this rom? I am having difficulty accessing tasker its like its not compatible with this rom.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MT2-User:
Tasker works on this ROM.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] joed1960:
I'm really enjoying the ROM, but have a question. Will Microsoft Exchange be added at some point? I wasn't able to get my work email setup.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MT2-User:
Try to install MailWise from Play Store.

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 AM ----------

You could also Sync folders (Exchange) by setting up "Sync Options" with Exchange account(s) in App.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] robertbarber:
An quick update to let you know that if you are having problems after reboot with your mobile date not wanting to connect until you toggled airplane mode then this latest update to Candy should fix your problem with that. Double tap to wake is also added in this update. A clean install is recommended to avoid problems. There is also an updated set of Banks GAPPS which you can download here http://download.dirtyunicorns.com/f...s/BaNkS_Dynamic_GApps_6.x.x_1-26-16_15:04.zip . The update to Candy 6 can be found here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24391638059059465 .
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Alucai Vivorvel:
Hey, thank you for posting here, and please tell SHM I said thanks! I didn't even know he left XDA (I don't exactly frequent this place), that's disappointing. But I am super excited to try this out! It's already installed on my device (just came back from stock after two months), thanks to your helpful instructions (though might want to edit that post to mention you need to convert /system to F2FS, that confused me momentarily). Just reinstalling all my apps, then I shall explore! Glad to see the camera is a huge improvement from previous custom ROMs I've tried on this phone, too. :D

EDIT: So, I've discovered an issue: Live Wallpapers do not work with the latest build. I do not know if they worked previously, this is the only one I've tried so far. At first I thought Wallpaper Changer wasn't updated for Marshmallow, but I quickly installed a random Live Wallpaper to test, and yep, the launcher says "App not installed" when you go to select it. Thankfully, Wallpaper Changer has a "static image" fallback, but it's still annoying.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] jwhood:
Im on c.c var and cant flash no,cm roms or candy rom,ive installed the twrp for the cm specific and i keep getting the updater script 7 thing,im on 322 also ive read thru every thread and cant get any recovery to flash even tried the 12.1 specific and no luck any pointers

Sent from the corner of "Long & Gone"
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Alucai Vivorvel:
I switched over to CM13. I'll wait till Candy Six is more polished. Got tired of bootloops from Layers themes and activating a single Xposed module. And again, Live Wallpapers.

I am missing the camera from Candy Six though. Any way to extract that and install it in CM? The CM camera is so incredibly basic compared to it.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] beastonprowl:
I feel c6 is better in battery life than cm anyways. I get it with the boot loops with the layers. So better off to stay without installing them and camera is really good on the c6 too.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Alucai Vivorvel:
The basic UI is so bland though, even switching to Dark mode. Whereas CM's theme engine never bootloops for me, and I found a really nice theme.

As for battery life, really? I had to charge my phone every night with Candy Six. When I ran stock and CyanogenMod (12.1 anyway, we'll see about 13), it was every other night.

To each their own though. I was literally gushing over how smooth CM13's animations felt vs C6.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] robertbarber:
For those who are having problems with battery I have a screenshot I got from SHM himself that he said to share. He is using the 0209 version of Candy 6
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] kimtyson:
Gotta be a fake Photoshop pic.

But seriously, that's amazing. I want to see what it shows at about 50%. It went from 10 to 7 days after just losing 6%. Maybe it needs to figure out the curve better. But still, pretty nice battery.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] robertbarber:
Candy 6 02/18 build

There is a new update to Candy. This build adds pie controls which can be found under settings then Candy Interface then navigation.If you have never used pie controls just swipe from the location where you place the pie controls (right, left, or bottom) and the press the button for the function you want to do. Also in this build is a new Hotplug which can be accessed from kernel auditor. This hotplug allows you to control the min and max cores that are online always, max cores on when screen off, as well as idle frequency which is used to set the frequency above which the other cores will come online.

For the hotpug you can use only one at a time, you cant use both at once without having problems

. There are also new governors added here is a list of the governors that have been added

abyssplugv2

adaptive

badass

dancedance

darkness

hyper

intellidemand

electrodemand

lazy

lionheart

nightmare

ondemandplus

optimax

pegasusq

slim

uberdemand

wheately

impulse

yankactive

zzmove

intellimm

smartmax

smartmax_eps

Userspace

For a description of what each one does you can check out this guide here http://xdaforums.com/general/general/ref-to-date-guide-cpu-governors-o-t3048957

Some are built for performance while others are a balance between performance and battery and some are for battery life

Be warned some of the Hotplug settings and Governors will not work together well or at all. If you are experiencing freezes and random reboots try changing your governor and/or hotplug settings to see if it goes away

also allow your system time after changing your hotplug settings or changing to a different governor to allow your system to settle from the change as well as for you to judge how well the settings you made work for you.

A good rule of thumb is allow at least a day with your new settings before you decide to change them

.

The link to the new build of Candy 6 is https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24421527759881444

lastly there have been some new quicktiles added that you can access when you pull down the notification shade to access them, the new tiles are Kernel Auditor, Candy Interface, Themes and Heads up.

For any other changes the changelog is under settings then about phone then changelog

I am also posting the setting I am using in kernel Auditor for those who want to try them out to see if they will work for them. These settings may not work for everybody.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] robertbarber:
A quick update about pie, If you have the default NavBar enabled then only use PIE on the left or right side. Must turn off the standard NavBar if you wish to apply PIE at the bottom. Otherwise PIE will bug out because they both can't be used at the same time at the same location. To turn off the standard NavBar go to Settings->Candy interface->Navigation->Navigation bar->DimensionsThen select Navigation bar height and width. Change them to 0 dp.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] beastonprowl:
Thanks for posting details on the latest update. How do i enable themes? The layers showcase app still seems to say themes not compatible when i try to download it.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] robertbarber:
Themes are enabled by default in Candy, All you have to do is search the Play Store instead of using the Layers Showcase app. Use words like Layers or Layers Theme and you will find hundreds of themes to chose from. If it says something about theme ready apps in the description you can find those here http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/apps-themeable-hangouts-layers-cmte-t3113192 . Before flashing the Theme Ready apps remember to uninstall the apps the Zip will theme due to the fact that an update from the play store will cause the app not to be themed and could cause other problems.Before messing with the Layers Themes I would Very Strongly advise you to do a full backup in TWRP to avoid having to reinstall if things go wrong because not all layers themes are stable, the stability of them lies with the developer that developed them. Some suggestions for you to try are https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.setiawanjimmy.TheMagpie&hl=en and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jerbeck24.Spectrum&hl=en . both are paid themes and both use the theme ready apps. These are the Themes I have and have found them to be pretty stable. Of course they may or may not work for you depending on your setup. If you have multiple themes installed always try one theme at a time, because you can run into problems if you theme the same item in two themes at the same time, That is also where you backup will come in handy should you have any problems.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] jordant2:
Any idea if this build can be flashed over the 2/10 build? I've been using it all week and it's rock solid. I deleted the layers app so I didn't try any themes but everything else seems to work perfectly. I know I can make a backup and flash but I figured I'd ask as you may have done a dirty flash.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Alucai Vivorvel:
I would strongly recommend using the Layers Showcase, as it displays DPI support for a given theme. Ignore the Android version, that was always wrong for me, but if a theme doesn't support the DPI you have set, it has the potential to send your device into a bootloop. I know it did for mine, tough I can't recall which theme in particular that was, sorry.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] robertbarber:
You can try it and see but when I update Candy I always do a clean install to lessen the chance of anything not working due to a dirty flash. just remember to wipe dalvik and cache after flashing if you do dirty flash.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Davinci50:
I have been dirty flashing all along, But do it at YOUR own risk.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] joed1960:
I'm on the 2/18 build. Has anyone had any problems with Bluetooth? It was working fine prior to this build for me.

Downloaded, and installed with no problems. Maybe I should've paired my bluetooth after wiping and installing a new CandySix build before coming out here. SMH again...
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Kevinoriej:
Hey guys, I'm a little lost here. Could someone tell me how to install this rom step by step ?, and news build. I have TWRP 2.8.7.5 with lollipop 5.1 oficial (rooted). It would be a good little guide. for we do not know much about this. my English is not perfect, I'm Spanish. This is the only website where you can get room for this phone. thanks
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
You install this ROM the same way you install any other ROM on any other phone. In case you don't know that, here's what you do :

0. First make sure, you have the latest Lollipop update (it should end with B322).

1. Put the zips of the ROM and GAPPS (google apps) on your SD Card.

2. Boot your phone into recovery. To do that, switch your phone off and switch it on again while holding the volume up (vol +) button.

3. In TWRP, make a backup of the ROM you're presently using in the event you're not happy with the new ROM.

4. Still in TWRP, go to Wipe, then Advanced and format these partitions : Dalvik, Cache, Data and System.

5. Now install your ROM. Then, install GAPPS. Then reboot your device.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Kevinoriej:
Yes. I am in B322, but in other threads, they say that this room needs f2f?? how I find that option in the TWRP that I have? otherwise, the video camera works and Snapchat in this room?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
You can change the file system of the partitions in Wipe > Advanced and then you can select F2F. Do them one at a time. But remember that the Huawei stock ROM doesn't support F2F meaning that you'd have to change the file system back to EXT4 before restoring.

Even though I don't use the camera much, I just tested it and it seems to be working.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Kevinoriej:
OK perfect. but which version is better ?, the one in this thread, or the page cyanogenmod. ??, the last build in this thread has been deleted.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
Don't you know that you cannot ask questions like this ? Are you trying to start a war ? Those who like fidgeting with their devices are never satisfied with one ROM and so end up trying all.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
If I install Candy 6, does it require any particular external SD card format? My external SD is currently formatted exFat.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Alucai Vivorvel:
No, your external SD card should be fine as-is. It's just the partitions on your internal storage that need to be formatted as f2fs.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
"internal mode" vs "portable mode" external SD options

Thanks! I must have picked "internal mode" vs "portable mode" when I tried (before even knowing about the options):

https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/3oz7eu/guidelines_for_marshmallow_users_formatting/

"Internal mode" will require the SD card to be formatted, so anyone wanting to go that route be aware of that and backup your external SD contents first.

Thanks to robertbarber for sharing this with me when I PM'd him.

Based on the articles I've read, better stay away from "internal mode" as you won't be able to read the contents of the SD card outside to phone and questions of how to upgraded to a large SD card have gone unanswered in the reading I did.

I have to go back and try installing Candy 6 again sometime.

Do you have to format the sd card to f2fs for aokp, I know you do for candy rom.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Davinci50:
you can use f2fs, a clean install is recommended
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] nate5711:
Ok, will give aokp a run.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] robertbarber:
If you run into a problem after install of AOKP in your first boot where it seems to hang at preparing contact storage just force a reboot by holding down the power button until the phone reboots, it should boot fine after that.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] joed1960:
Just finished downloading. After making room on my SD card for a backup I'll give AOKP a try.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] beastonprowl:
Any reviews on the AOKP build? Most of it works ?
