I have an issue with B321 ROM in my AL-10device, the clock in status bar usually disappear randomly.

When I go to K-setting and change its position, clock shows fine and I can change its format and position .

Then I just use other applications as usua, clock disappear randomly and never show again until I go to ksetting to disable/enable again....

I never meet this problem in b172/180 version.

I think i've answered that already. Again, return to your stock ROM, maybe you've a backup. Update to B321 stock. How? Sorry that's well known, and i've written about in another answer already.

I have tried to flash this ROM over B180 on AL10, but I stops on boot screen like "Your device has been unlocked and can"t be trusted" bla bla bla your device is booting now...

nothing moves.

I tried also flash boot.img for B321, then it shows logo, but looked like boot-loop, because screen was blinking light/dark.

OK, is there any easy way to flash this ROM? could you help me plz? I have AL10, flashed recovery 3.0.2, wipe all of option (excluding ext SD card of course) then I flashen ROM file, wipe dalvik & cache, flashed Clock Fix, reboot and I am on dead point :(

Sorry Buddy, just a short answer, just read the last 4-5 pages of this thread before you ask any further questions!!!!
[Mate 8 Android Development] dannejanne:
Kangvip is really awesome. There is only one minor little thing that has been bothering me with the ROM since day one I started using it.

What? The recents button!

Thanks to its longpress option it feels much less responsive than on stock. For the home button you can turn off double tap and it will be instant like stock. But even though you disable the longpress option on the recents button it still acts like if that option is on. That is it does not register a press until you let go of the screen. I want it to register a recents press as soon as I put my finger on the screen just like on stock. This little thing makes the phone feels much less responsive when multitasking a lot. It does really bug me because it's used so often and it's so noticeable.
[Mate 8 Android Development] ajsmsg78:
That happened to me and it took me some time to figure out why and it was because my bootloader was relocked and after unlocking it again it worked.

No you have to flash complete B321 stock first.

bootloader status says unlocked

when i put the phone in fastboot/bootloader mode it says Unlocked? is that a false positive? locked but showing unlocked?? not sure. what has worked for me partially is. stock 180>stock321 and flash the modded 321 with no wipe. when i flash the beta TWRP after stock 321 it asks for password everytime. tried the default TWRP password as well. no luck as well. for now im back on 180 with the 3.0.2 TWRP and i have no issues wiping data etc
[Mate 8 Android Development] ajsmsg78:
Start over. Fastboot flash the 4 img files from the last stock rom you were on before you updated to B321. (B180) Then do the dload method to it as well. This will put you back on stock. Then do the dload to B321. Then flash twrp and wipe data.

[Mate 8 Android Development] aDarkBox:
im a bit slow, just finished rooting and installing twrp. after i finish backing up my stock rom ill be installing your new update and giving it a go. I have a somewhat unique model from what I've seen, chinese model NXT-DL00, so it might be interesting to see if everything still works fine.
[Mate 8 Android Development] aDarkBox:
so clean flashing worked flawlessly first time, everything is running for a little while now and no crashes. Only thing im noticing is there is a lot more random chinese (pretty much everywhere) as compared to the stock chinese firmware i was running. How can I get rid of all of that? Edit: I discovered most of that chinese was from the lunar calendar and weather options under k settings -> notifiation settings and desktop settings. Also, the navigation bar is about half the size of the navigation bar on stock. its more difficult to press the buttons now.

another error: in k settings, activating the seconds display for the status bar clock puts them AFTER the am/pm indicator, like 3:19 AM:53 instead of 3:19:53 AM. Also, in advanced settings, pressing multi-screen will just close and reload the settings app instead of whatever its supposed to do.
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
hey buddy, i was wondering: where and how can i modify the height of the nav bar? would be nice to make it a tad smaller, was used to that on my previous nexus 5 :)

btw, im talking in general, not specifically to your rom here...

I had the same issues and when I fastboot flashed back the img files from B321 then factory reset, then installed TWRP and booted into it I was able to format data, even though it took awhile. I would fastboot B321, then after it boots, put the B321 update.app on your sdcard and do the volume up + volume down + power to boot and let it install B321. Then after you reboot, install TWRP and try wiping.

Do you've removed your google account before returning to stock ROM?

The answer is in my guide. Use DC-Unlocker to unlock FRP. Atm i know no other way to remove that lock.

Search your bootloader unlock code, you'll need it later!

Download B321 from here (THX to ajsmsg78)

Extract update.app to sdcard/dload

Copy it to your PC! Use Huawei update extractor to extract boot, system, cust

Remove your google account from yiur system!! Very important!!

Reboot to recovery

Full wipe including internal sd

Flash the downloaded zip containing the update app.

reboot to bootloader

flash boot cust system

reboot and wait until chinese screen disappears.

let system boot.

reboot to fastboot

flash emui 4.1 stock recovery

reboot holding vol up, vol down and power

let recovery flash update app.

reboot.

Well i hope your bootloader is still unlocked now and FRP is unlocked too.

If not use DC unlocker to unlock FRPv(found no other solution that quickly) 15€!!!

reboot to bootloader

unlock bootloader again!!!

flash twrp beta for emui 4.1

root your stock 4.1

reboot

format data to decrypt

flash my Kang

Now lets get twrp set up

1.	For that we need minimal ADB again

2.	Headover to http://xdaforums.com/mate...ate-8-t3298567

3.	Download TWRP according to your EMUI (For B321 it's EMUI 4.1)

4.	Place the image in the directory of the Minimal ADB

5.	Rename it to just twrp.img (not necessary but simplifies things)

6.	Put your phone in Bootloader Mode (Press & hold power and volume down)

7.	Run command.bat

8.	Type <fastboot flash recovery twrp.img>

9.	Then type fastboot reboot

10.	Now you can hold volume up and power until your phone boots into TWRP

reboot to bootloader and have a look to FRP state green FRP locked, red unlocked. It's directly below the bootloader unlocked / locked.
