Maybe not supported model?

---------- Post added at 03:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 PM ----------

Battery drain on the last update? Any reports?
[Huawei GX8] AndroidNewb666:
Try doing a full wipe, download latest gapps and use the updated TWRP provided by [MENTION=2335078]surdu_petru[/MENTION],it should work.

I also have a RIO-L01.
[Huawei GX8] titan5800:
finally i managed to install cm13 but when i set lock screen pin code it dosent change from swip type and when i try to change it again setting crashes do u have this bug also?
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
He has already answered to this question here , and I can confirm this :p
[Huawei GX8] titan5800:
i have this bug also lock screen pin not working (i came from stock 5.1)
[Huawei GX8] AndroidNewb666:
This is not a bug, im showing that it works correctly.

If you can, go to this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3383707, download the Stock MM and Modem, flash them THROUGH TWRP, boot into stock MM, go back to the recovery and flash CM and it should be working.

That's what I did.
[Huawei GX8] titan5800:
u had that rom on your phone i have a question will that rom work on my phone because normally my phone dosent supp official android 6

fingerprint works? did u get scrambled screen?
[Huawei GX8] AndroidNewb666:
Well, it should work...

The scrambled screen I don't know anything about that.

And yes, the fingerprint scanner on Official Marshmallow from Huawei works.

If you have the single sim g8, I'd advise you t wait for someone with more knowledge than me to help you out because I don't know if that works on the single sim unit.
[Huawei GX8] titan5800:
a bug i found : when i first installed cm13 the battery was stuck on 100% but after many tests i found that if i connect charger to phone and restart it battery stats shows the correct status and if i restart it again without a charger connected to phone battery shows wrong status again

is anybody else facing this problem also?
[Huawei GX8] AndroidNewb666:
Yes it is a known bug, the surdu_petru is trying to fix it.
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
Yes, already fixed ...

[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:

[Huawei GX8] titan5800:
Amazing !!! Keep it UP

downloading right now !
[Huawei GX8] Iguanadon:
that is correct. Fingerprint is not working ...yet :D

Installing now, i will be back tomorrow iwth feedback, keep up the good work.!! CHeers
[Huawei GX8] EarlyMon:
[MENTION=2335078]surdu_petru[/MENTION] - many thanks again for the update - you pulled the modem zip?
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
Thanks !

Modem is not required to be flashed, because fingerprint sensor was removed !

Fingerprint service seems to drain battery because is broken , so I removed ... will be added as soon as will find a fix.
[Huawei GX8] Thangyorange:
anyone still getting the crash when you go into lockscreen settings and try to set a password? I dirty flashed new ROM and latest GApps. Do I need to wipe everything and do a clean flash? or does the problem still remain after that?
[Huawei GX8] Iguanadon:
yes I have trouble with changing screen lock. settings crash after setting a lock password and cannot change swipe or smart lock. my guess is the removal of fingerprint may be the cause.
[Huawei GX8] titan5800:
flash stock huawei MM form this :http://xdaforums.com/gx8/development/rom-t3383707

and then flash cm13. lock screen will work then
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
This rom has a "device tree" based on Huawei MM B340/B330 ... so, you should update your device to Huawei MM before to flash this rom !

There is no issue about set a PIN for lockscreen if you come from Huawei MM :o
[Huawei GX8] Thangyorange:
Thank everyone!
[Huawei GX8] Iguanadon:
I will attempt this when I get a chance. I tried the B340 last night but had the flashing/corrupt screen issue. I will flash the Huawei MM then latest CM and see what happens.
[Huawei GX8] kimtyson:
To clarrify. Is the only reason to flash B340 MM to get pin lock screen? I flashed today's version with no B340 and everything seems to be working well so far.
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
I really don't know ... but I can confirm : if I install this rom over Huawei 5.1 , than I cannot set a PIN ... this does not happen if I install Huawei MM B340 and than CM-13.0 !
[Huawei GX8] titan5800:
sad :( still when i turn off screen wifi hotspot network stops :(

any idea to fix it manually ? i use wifi hotspot alot and its really painfull
[Huawei GX8] kimtyson:
I had that issue with previous versions but today it worked fine for me. Well over an hour of WiFi tether and no disconnect. Yersterday, I flashed the modem_update.zip. Not sure if that madethe difference for me.
[Huawei GX8] heruthe:
thanks alot surdu...I will install this version
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
Hi there, the last update works flawless.

1. Battery really last longer, and got fixed, i added some build.prop tweak to make it last longer.

2.No lag, smooth experience and perfomance.

3. No more problems with the wifi signal and net speed, added some build.prop tweaks to improve battery and speed.

GOOD JOB! Keep up the good work, i will consider donating in future. :)
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
Please can you provide us your tweak for build.prop ... maybe is there other users that want to use it. Thanks !
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
Of course i will provide them, today. But i found a bug, i tried to record a video, and after i pressed the recording button, nothing happened. Any one experienced this issue?

Video recording not working. Any idea?
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
I just got home and did a test, there is no issue regarding video recording at least for me !
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
I don't know whats wrong but, my camera doesn't work on video mode..
[Huawei GX8] AndroidNewb666:
Nice update surdu_petru, almost everything seems working good.

I've noticed a high battery drain while the screen is turned off.

Yesterday I went to sleep with 76% battery and i woke up with nothing.

Please check this.

Thanks.

Edit 1 - AudioFX doesn't seem to be working
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
Sorry, but I don't know what you do ..., but I have no issue regarding battery drain faster on screen off ... after a night , battery show 97% from 99% .. and also I have no issue with AudioFX !

Best regards !
[Huawei GX8] AndroidNewb666:
I'll try doing a clean install then.

Thanks for the reply.
[Huawei GX8] kimtyson:
Working great, Surdu. No issues with battery drain. No Audio FX issues. No issues with video cam. No issues at all after using for 24 hours. Thanks so much!
[Huawei GX8] titan5800:
can you give me a copy of your build.prob?
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
I can't, sorry. I am on MM now, camera not working properly on cm13 on my device...i dont know why..
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
Flashed again clean install, and my camera works just fine. I don't know why it didn't work in first place. I am using the build.prop tweaks posted with no problem. Cheers .
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
Fingerprint sensor fixed !

Hello !

I just let you to know that today ( after many attempts ) I managed to enable successfully : fingerprint sensor for CyanogenMod 13.0 :D

The solution to fix (fingerprint sensor) will be pushed to may github as soon as I'll have some more free time , so please stay tuned !

The next update of our CM-13.0 will include also this fix ;)

Best regards !

Good work mate, this is great news. Keep up the good work.
[Huawei GX8] EarlyMon:
[MENTION=2335078]surdu_petru[/MENTION] congratulations!! :)

BTW - putting system shutdown into a hibernate state instead of an actual shutdown was pioneered by HTC years ago - and they dropped it along with others - it really doesn't play well with a LOT of apps so fair warning on that ok. ;)

Otherwise well done at first glance! :)
[Huawei GX8] Iguanadon:
woo! Good work. Can't wait to get home and try it out. Well when its available or I compile myself. lol
[Huawei GX8] iowabowtech:
Congrats on the fingerprint sensor! Well done. I tried on and off again for the last several weeks and eventually gave up. Thanks for all the effort on this.
[Huawei GX8] ondra23614567:
Hello, when will a version with fingerprint?
[Huawei GX8] redbeard1083:
congrats! if you need help building due to time constraints i can pitch in. have been building your rom for a while now.
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
Thanks for your help ... first I need to clean my source, because I made many changes and not all are necessary in order to fix fingerprint sensor !

I hope that in two to three days to come with a new update and also I'll update my github :o

Best regards !
[Huawei GX8] redbeard1083:
no worries. i appreciate all the work you've done for this phone. if you ever need help with building, feel free to PM me and i'll do what i can to help out.
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
Hibernate: Your device saves its current state to your hard drive, essentially dumping the contents of its RAM into a file on its hard drive. When you boot up the computer, it will load the previous state from your hard drive into its RAM. This allows you to save your computer’s state, including all your open programs and data, and come back to it later. It takes longer to resume from hibernate than sleep, but hibernate uses much less power than sleep. A computer that’s hibernating uses about the same amount of power as a computer that’s shut down. (Info not mine, same logic for android device)

I wanted to say that nothing bad can happen if your system hibernates.

The only true downside is that it consumes a tiny bit power when hibernate, and some apps might not work properly after powering on.

My opinion: i've been using this tweak to reduce powering on and loosing state, with 0 negative impact.

This post is just to clarify things. Any other contrary idea is embraced.

Cheers.
[Huawei GX8] redimmer:
hi surdu. thanks for the new update.specially the fingerprint feature.

i have some bugs in the new release such as:

1:when i use a cover for my phone smart cover does not work and the screen doesnt turnoff or on

2:its very important for me to have the night mode but when i try to enable it my phone gets significantly slows down and it will become laggy.

so please in the next update consider these problems.the night mode problem remained since the 409 build.i try everything such as turning off the daydream and many things else.

and again thanks for your amazing work

best regards
[Huawei GX8] mikiking1991:
So in the last Realesed update work fingerprint sensor,or must wait for next release?
[Huawei GX8] EarlyMon:
[MENTION=6938900]mariusmauxy[/MENTION]

Appreciate the hibernate definition, I already knew that and like you have tried this mod often since 2011.

Glad it's working for you, my comments stand as known community knowledge and mirror my experience - despite theory and how it's supposed to be the same on Android as a pc, others have found repeatedly that it just doesn't always work for everyone as expected - quite the contrary.

My fair warning stands on those merits - like any fundamental change, good to try, great if it works out, but not everything can be guaranteed on a mobile device using timing tricks to make the stochastic Linux kernel and its job control act as an effective real-time system - and that's what underlies the problem when hibernation doesn't work as expected.

Not saying don't try it - am saying at the first sign of weird behavior, turn it off and see.

Hope that clarifies. :)

Hi, I have just installed it and there's no option to enable fingerprint sensor. When I enter to "lock screen" in configuration, It crashes the application.

Whent I put any locking method doesn´t work, just let me enter by "sliding". And continues not showing the "fingerprint sensor"
[Huawei GX8] Shampoos:
Is it necessary to be on Huawei MM before flashing this in order to use the fingerprint as lockscreen method? I have a RIO-L03, and as far as I know, there's no official update for my device and the flashable one provided here on XDA by surdu gets the screen flickering on thid model. I've actually been holding off on flashing this ROM just because of the fingerprint sensor. Does anyone know?
[Huawei GX8] AndroidNewb666:
If you already have TWRP, make a backup of your stock rom first and try flashing CM.

It should work with no bugs.

The Huawei MM requirement I think it was only for the Ressurection Remix ROM whose development has stopped.

---------- Post added at 04:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:31 AM ----------

Are you coming from Stock Huawei 5.1 or Stock Huawei MM?
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
I just flashed the latest update. Enabled the fingerprint . It works like a charm, no bugs. Good job mate. If u fix the HDR front camera, i will be your donator. Keep up the good work. Cheers and respect.
[Huawei GX8] titan5800:
works great but now when i setup fingerprint and want to to remove or change it setting crashes :) (like pin code lockscreen before)

anyone else with this problem? clean install fixes it or ...?
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
I think that you should update your device to Huawei MM B340/B330 and than install cm-13.0 ! I have not this issue because I already updated my device to Huawei B340 firmware. If you cannot update your device to MM, you should wait until Huawei will release a version of your device .

Best regards !
[Huawei GX8] titan5800:
i did that (had screen flicker issue) and after that when i installed cm i can use pin code lock and no crash but in new update that fingerprint is now working in first time it worked and i have fingerprint now but when i try to disable or open its setting again it crashes
[Huawei GX8] mikiking1991:
I have a big problem with this update... Previous update 12.6.2016 installed without problem,but this last update not working. updated twrp,downloaded latest gapps arm64 mini (today was realesed) but after first boot then phone setting apps 113 of 113 and after "starting apps" restarting phone. And restarting restarting restarting.... I installed succesfully ALL updates of cm13,so i know how I have doing (wipe dalvick,wipe cache) but this last realese not working. Why? (Dual Sim G8). I tried wipe system and data,and reinstall the last update,but nothing... I tried clean install but same restarting and restarting...

Corrupt zip file... I never installed official MM firmware
[Huawei GX8] fedesandor:
Im coming from stock 5.1
[Huawei GX8] titan5800:
you tried this modem_update (http://d-h.st/L8vL) and its corrupted?i had your restart problem before and i fixed it with flashing the modem_update.zip that is posted in instructions
[Huawei GX8] AndroidNewb666:
If the file is corrupted then something happened on the download or your SD card is messed up.

Try downloading it again.
[Huawei GX8] mikiking1991:
Ok i downloaded again,and work evrything fine,but i dont see setting for fringerprint... How can i enable?

Same problem,after setting the screen lock code,orr password,the settigs crash,and no fingerprint option...
[Huawei GX8] AndroidNewb666:
If you're coming from Stock 5.1 Huawei then that could be your problem.

Try flashing the Huawei MM if it's available for your device and try to flash CM again.

Hello !

I think that [MENTION=6938900]mariusmauxy[/MENTION] .... he put me ingenuity to the test :D

Just a new idea that came to me today :victory: ... and finally just fixed the last big issue : HDR Front Camera !

Best regards !

Edit :

Maybe I was too excited ... Indeed I can take HDR photo with front camera without issue ... but unfortunately I have not read "adb logcat" before posting here ... sorry for my mistake .

- logcat saying that HDR camera was disabled ( taht's why HDR front camera working fine ) .... anyway I hope to fix it as quickly ... because android N is coming, and I don't want to let unfinished my work on cm-13.0 !

I hope everything work in the next update !

Thank you!

Hai Romania! :)
[Huawei GX8] Molhamm:
very nice work from you [MENTION=2335078]surdu_petru[/MENTION] but we need clearly way to install this ROM when you finished from it because i had confused about the last ROM and i will wait for last update ..... i will be grateful :angel:

Try changing your APN to a different one and reboot.

That's what I did.
[Huawei GX8] Syzygium:
Im on B150(5.1) , Can I flash this directly ?
[Huawei GX8] matangii:
It's okay to install on any version on this device? Most here seem to have rio-l01. Mine is rio-l02 on B130 (5.1)
[Huawei GX8] kralkral:
i am coming from stock 5.1 to latest CM but there is not any option for fingerprint in settings even after flash huawei MM modem

edit(solved): if you com from 5.1 to cm like me,for working fingerprint you should first flash huawei MM by [MENTION=2335078]surdu_petru[/MENTION] {it does not matter that you get screen flicking just reboot to twrp by power+ volume up } then flash latest CM and now your fingerprint works normally

100000000 thanks to [MENTION=2335078]surdu_petru[/MENTION] for full working CM,now i dont need huawei MM update for my region
[Huawei GX8] Iguanadon:
