Kangvip is working like a charm here also. It is sad to hear that you're leaving... I'd be glad to be a tester. I went from the 6p to this phone because it had some features that the AOSP roms had out of the box. The size, beauty and storage took me from the Nexus. It has it's quirks, like the overbearing battery optimization that stops alot of apps and buggy notifications but I like it. I'd like to be a tester.
[Mate 8 Android Development] ajsmsg78:
If I could list the pros and cons they would be:

Pros

Build quality

Battery life

Screen size

Fingerprint scanner

Bright & vibrant screen

Cons

Terrible camera in anything but daylight

Video recording at 60 FPS is way too dark

Speaker distorts at max volume

Notification bug which Huawei will never fix

Signal quality is not as good as the Nexus 6 or Mediapad X2

No VOLTE or Wifi calling on TMobile in the US

Can no longer do local updates as of EMUI 4

It's like Huawei took a step back with EMUI 4 . I do miss stock Android and CM and at least a Dark UI that works properly. I ordered a Nexus 6P from Newegg. I'm keeping my Mediapad X2. I think if US sellers sold the 8 directly and it supported everything then it would be possibly worth keeping but it's just getting too annoying for everyday use. The title of my review would be, "Awesome hardware, terrible software." Huawei really needs to go with Stock Android or at least ditch EMUI and come up with something else. Not to mention this cust partition which varies between countries and makes development that much more difficult in getting a certain rom to behave the same way across different models.

Thanks for your hardwork but I would like to add my experience that all of my notifications are fixed after using paid greenify with GCM push enabled.

Cheers!
[Mate 8 Android Development] bufordtjustice:
What are your settings in greenify to get notifications working?

Thanks.. But after 5 days I think the battery life is bad, Also the are hot when I plug phone in charge.. But after all is fine.
[Mate 8 Android Development] Oxipitale:
Thank you for your answer. I'm not sure though that Huawei is not gonna do something about the notifications. It's a major issue.

Huawei NXT-L29- KING VIP Slim
[Mate 8 Android Development] ajsmsg78:
The issue exists on the Mediapad X2 as well and it has been out for over a year now.
[Mate 8 Android Development] p_noch:
Here it is, to get the push working, I added all the apps including ones that I need to have notification in sleep to greenify's auto hibernate list to have greenify manage them and provide push feature.

Cheers!

[Mate 8 Android Development] SlyUK:
Which phone do you plan on getting ?
[Mate 8 Android Development] ajsmsg78:
I have a Nexus 6P coming today. If there is a P9 Max release here in the US then I may buy one of those as well.
[Mate 8 Android Development] SlyUK:
Enjoy either or both. Nice to see you still have faith in Huawei :)
[Mate 8 Android Development] ajsmsg78:
That's why I ordered the 6P. Now I can have a Huawei phone with stock Android. It doesn't get any better than that. I wish the screen was a little larger though.
[Mate 8 Android Development] misho_20063:
Hi bro the rom is perfect but small problem screen mirroring not working can fix it with patch or anything
[Mate 8 Android Development] cline2:
Is there other 6" display phone out there? Nexus 6P is 5.7". Huawei Mate is 6". I just wonder if there are more 6" phones out there?
[Mate 8 Android Development] tdamocles:
Samsung a9 pro?
[Mate 8 Android Development] ajsmsg78:
I've been looking into that but don't have a fix yet. I'll have some news for you guys in the next week explaining the future of KangVIP Slim.
[Mate 8 Android Development] ajsmsg78:
I know, I wish the 6P was six inches but honestly it's not really much smaller and with the awesome camera, dual stereo speakers and stock Android there are literally no bugs at all. I like it so far. If Huawei can fix the camera issues, use a better speaker and fix all of EMUI'S bugs in the Mate 9 then I would reconsider it.
[Mate 8 Android Development] ajsmsg78:
Hello all. Pappschlumpf is going to be taking over KangVIP Slim. I'll still be helping out behind the scenes but pappschlumpf is very capable of making the rom even better and I know he will. I'll still be around if anyone needs help. I'll try to contact the moderator and see if I can change the ownership to him.
[Mate 8 Android Development] hamadazh:
than you boss so much for your hard work :good:

thank you so much for everything :)

we'll miss you :)
[Mate 8 Android Development] albireox:
That's great news. Thanks for all your work on this ROM.
[Mate 8 Android Development] Oxipitale:
Hi,

thank you for your work and for finding someone to take over. Welcome to Pappschlumpf on this ROM :)

May I suggest a first step for the next release ? Disabling deviceidle seems to work quite well for notifications, so it can probably be integrated directly in the ROM.
[Mate 8 Android Development] SlyUK:
That is excellent news. May we see this rom in future generations of the Huawei Mate Series too (if possible).
[Mate 8 Android Development] pappschlumpf:
Yes, sure!
[Mate 8 Android Development] tdamocles:
Does anyone have Google on tap working? It was working for me for a bit and then it decided to stop.
[Mate 8 Android Development] ajsmsg78:
If I end up getting a P9 Max I'll be doing a Kangvip Slim for it.
[Mate 8 Android Development] pappschlumpf:
Yeah, that will be a nice device too i think.

Big thx for your work and that you entrust your project to me :)

An update to B180 is ready and will be posted soon. ViperAtmos with preinstalled driver is included now and the basic gapps package is included too. For sure it is still a SLIM rom. A removed apps package is available too.
[Mate 8 Android Development] SlyUK:
Do you mean P9 Plus:

http://consumer.huawei.com/uk/mobile-phones/p9plus/

Or is their going to be a P9 Max like there is a P8 Max ?
[Mate 8 Android Development] meallad:
does this or any other ROM fix the notification issue for the mate 8?
[Mate 8 Android Development] ajsmsg78:
There will be a 6. 9 inch P9 Max soon. Supposedly it will have all the same bands as the Mate 8.
[Mate 8 Android Development] SlyUK:
Oh interesting. I think thats too big for me. 6" would be the Max in my case. If you do get one and you produce a rom for it, good luck :)
[Mate 8 Android Development] pappschlumpf:
There's a post in the thread explaining how to fix it using Greenify. It is working great with it. Please use threads search ;)

Nor necessarily. The Chinese and International versions both update similarly.

Swipe up on the lockscreen and go to covers and remove the covers. That will get rid of the Chinese text.

Good, I use now the stock b180 and the battery life amazing, may I will try this in future because I like the Kang tools ?

The battery life should be like stock. The changes in KangVip ROMs are not that invasive that this could influence battery consumption of the ROM itself.

Is there a beginners step by step guide for flashing a rom on the mate 8? I have the nxt-al10 32gb and the fingerprint scanner doesn't show up in settings. I want to flash a rom to see if it will fix the issue and I used to have xposed on my nexus 5.

Thanks
[Mate 8 Android Development] pappschlumpf:
Wiping cust is not a good idea i think. But well if you flash B180 it is back again. I've a permission manager shortcut in phonemanager and settings. If you're using an eu sim card, the eu cust profile is patched to show the permission manager and some other settings.

Hello. I am from Germany. I tried every Rom and gave every new version a chance. So I did with this version.

Result: Best Rom ever!!! Everything is working. Everything is smooth and fast. Designs are working (they never did before in other Roms). Notifications are coming immediately. Gmail and WhatsApp notifications are working fine. My Huawei Watch is working without problems. Kang tools are also working fine. Double tap to wake is good to have.

I am mega happy with this Rom. Thank you very much for your hard work.

The audio_policy is stock B180. And it is the same as in B172, if you compare these files. In soundfx dir are some files that are out of the ViperAtmos package. I'll make a package without ViperAtmos on monday and you could test if it works better for you.

Should be under K-Settings at the top of the Settings app. In there there's a Xposed category to install it.

Thank you.... I went there ( settings - k settings - xposed settings) but when I tried to install, It just gave me "uninstall xposed frame work" when I confirmed, the mobile restated but xposed wasn't installed at all"
[Mate 8 Android Development] pappschlumpf:
Just download normal Xposed for arm64 and flash it in recovery. But normally install using kangtools works too.

I'm uploading two new files atm. With ViperAtmos (no driver install needed) and one with Viper4Android (install drivers as normal) only.

SystemSta removed completely now. Build.prop corrected in Atmos Build.

[Mate 8 Android Development] pappschlumpf:
OP updated with new Links. Fixed Atmos build and a build with Viper4Android only. Have fun :)
[Mate 8 Android Development] pappschlumpf:
Yep, my personal feeling, too. And Android wear is working correctly as background service the first time! It was asking for it all the time in previous versions, but the confirmation dialog never appeared. In B180 that is working. Marchmallow like it is asking if battery save settings should be overwritten for Android wear. It should work for other apps like this now too. Great, it seems like Huawei is working on it.

What do you recommend to flash "B180 ViperAtmos" or "B180 only Viper4Android"? I noticed that Viper4Android in B172 doesn't affect quality of the phone calls. It affects only players. What I want is just to increase the volume during watching video in loadspeaker and (if possible) to add more basses to the phone calls on loadspeaker.

What about flashing XPosed without having eternal bootlogo? Where can I download the correct one?

P.S. Can you add md5 to Changelogs? I cannot check on my phone if it was downloaded without mistakes. I am afraid to flash not correct file.

Best way to install Xposed is to flash it right after flashing the the rom before first reboot, by doing this you should get percentage indicator while booting the first boot.

If not you will need to wait quite a long time in what looks like a 'stuck on huawei logo' after flashing any version of Xposed in System with many apps installed, if you wait long enough it will eventually boot up.

Make sure to clean cache and dalvik after flashing also.
