[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] DaDuckman:
I started getting random reboots a few weeks ago. I cant tie it to any app in particular and my phone doesnt seem to be getting hot. I thought maybe unlocking the bootloader and flashing a custom rom might help so i flashed CM13 and it seemed to get more frequent and it would almost go into a bootloop that i could only stop by going into recovery and rebooting that way. I eventually flashed stock lollipop back onto it and it slowed down to every once in a while and didnt do the bootloop thing anymore. I did a logcat through ADB but i dont know how to interperet it. Could anyone help?

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] axmatto:
I too am getting a sudden burst of rebooting after rooting my phone while on B322. I am working on removing apps one at a time though I do not think this to be the issue.
[Mate 8 Android Development] Ephemera:
Flash this ROM at your own risk. I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device when flashing.

The goal of this ROM is to rid of any unneeded apps along with replacing Huawei's apps with better alternatives such as AOSP apps. In the future this ROM will feature an AROMA installer but for now I am looking to squash bugs and make sure its as smooth as possible.

Features

:

AOSP Keyboard (long press symbols)

AOSP Email

AOSP Music

Android N Emojis

Google Messenger

Rooted

ViPER4Android

Call Recording

DT2W

AdAway

KangVIP Tools

Xposed Ready

Deodexed

Debloated

More to come/etc.

Noted Bugs:

-VPN getting "Unsuccessful" error when connecting over L2TP only

-Google Voice Routing not working when set as default

-AOSP Keyboard seems to be using data

-Permissions Manager does not open

-Can't swipe the NavBar to make the screen smaller

-K-settings: Lockscreen & Desktop Modifications not functioning properly

-Can't edit in gallery

Downloads:

ROM is in the download section above.

TWRP:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24421527759883292

Removed Apps:

https://basketbuild.com/devs/Ephemera/Mate%208

How to install:

Note: TWRP must be installed, see above for download link.

1. Head on over to the downloads section and grab the latest version.

2. If you'd like to clean install (recommended) wipe data.

3. Flash ROM file

4. You may need to install SuperSU from the Play Store.

Note: ROM will restart on initial boot, this is due to SuperSU patching the boot.img to prevent the filesystem from being encrypted. If it doesn't boot after the first restart hold power to restart it a second time, should boot without any issues.

Please report any critical bugs you can find. If you have a feature request or would like to a certain AOSP app don't be afraid to ask :)

If you like my work and would like to keep me going consider buying me a cup coffee by clicking here. It'll help a lot more than you think thanks to a recent loss of hundreds of dollars. If you're interested here's a read for you: http://xdaforums.com/mate-8/general/gizok-t3376018

Download link is a recovery image. FYI.
[Mate 8 Android Development] Ephemera:
It is in the download section at the top. Changed heading to prevent confusion.
[Mate 8 Android Development] tonyeltriton:
Is it necessary to flash the twrp or twrp 3.0.0.1 is fine?
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
huh, did we get an update to 3.0.0.1 for the mate 8? as far as i can see, rayglobe's version is still at 3.0...
[Mate 8 Android Development] tonyeltriton:
My mistake, you are right. My Twrp is shown as 3.0.0.r1

Did you download SuperSU from the play store and give access? Also use the app in the download section to SELinux to permissive for now.
[Mate 8 Android Development] catchfree:
1.Will xposed be installed in the rom in the future?

2.the reboot option is soft reboot?

Ps: it seems that this rom works fine on nxt l09,but others don't.

( stuck on the hwstartguide )
[Mate 8 Android Development] Hen Ry:
Ah, now.

send from my HUAWEI NXT-L29 with Tapatalk
[Mate 8 Android Development] Ephemera:
Yes it is a soft reboot. Xposed support is a WIP you can try flashing it to see if it works. How is it stuck on the hwstartguide? I have had someone report it works fine on the AL10 and I imagine it should work fine on L29
[Mate 8 Android Development] catchfree:
Ah i have a typo initially

It's l09 not l29.

I'll try xposed at night and give you a feedback

on my phone,the hwstartguide of is a loop(unable to sign in the hw account because of region, not sure if it will cause problem )

Additionally,the erecovery always shows that it can't receive the data of the package(guess that hw didn't upload the rom for my device)
[Mate 8 Android Development] Ephemera:
eRecovery should be working just fine that's something I haven't touched, it ignores build number and always grabs the latest for your model number. I can't test whether it loops o not because I don't have a Huawei account. But report it as a bug in the top so I can keep track of it and look into it later.
[Mate 8 Android Development] Hen Ry:
Call Recording

DT2W

Where do I enable it?
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
nice, proof that one can crossflash firmwares onto the single sim model as well :)
[Mate 8 Android Development] Ephemera:
Settings > Smart assistance > Motion control > Double touch

Call Recording is built into the dialer, so you'd make a call and then see the option to record it.

UNSUCCESSFULL, I followed instructionS: restore Radio FM, wait for 3 minutes (ALWAYS 0%), killed titanium and rebooted

NO RADIO FM :(
[Mate 8 Android Development] albireox:
I think I found the solution, at least this works for me. Use the FM Radio apk I've send you earlier today.

Use Root Explorer (or an equivalent file manager) and copy the apk to \system\app. Set permissions for the apk to rw-r--r-- (0644). Reboot the phone and see if the app works.
[Mate 8 Android Development] dannyo2:
YES!!!! You did!!!! You are the number one! the radio is now installed and running!

many thanks for your perfect support

So we can finally fix your solution as official system to restore the RADIO FM on Mate 8

Can you help me also with LTE Only too?

How can I enable LTE Only mode?

Thank you very much

There is no LTE only mode in this ROM i think, but network priority is always LTE first if it is available. You could check this in the hw-default files in the cust folder.

It sounds reassuring. Please, delete Chinese spy software SystemSta.apk

This is a tracker for Chinese rom maker to make money. You will find this apk in /System/Framework/

I like your ROM very much. Before I use KangVIP since B165. But since B180 he changed something and GPS Navigator Navitel started to ask activation as if it is a new device (some specific system information has been changed). Navitel is activated to device. Reactivation takes money. But your B180 works OK. Navitel doesn't say that this is new device. I'm glad.

P.S. Found in Removed apps MMS/Mms.apk. Put it to system/app-priv/mms. And reboot. I think it much better SMS manager than in this ROM. It shows both SIMs below (you don't need to switch). It allows to insert text info from any field (including email) of any contact into current SMS in a very convenient way.
