If you're not sure which one to flash, use this one, the one by surdu, it's basically universal (for all G8/GX8): http://xdaforums.com/gx8/development/rom-t3383707 there are the two zips you'll need, the ROM itself and the modem. Flash those via TWRP, after flashing is complete do a full wipe and flash CM.

If you wanna go back to stock completely it'd be better if you flash B340, assuming it's available for your device.

We thank you a lot for your great job. These latest fix are life saviour.

I want to mention that, notification lights are working...at least on my device.

I will be editing this post with further bugs ( if i find any).

Cheers, and again great job mate.:svetius:

[Huawei GX8] pols murad:
Iam g8 rio-l01 running Mm B321

Can anyone confirm that fingerprint, camera and signal are working good for my version ?

Please get me link to how root and recovery for my version.
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
You can find on xda forums how to root and flash TWRP, just use the search function.

And yes, i confirm those above working.

I have the same device as you.

Cheers.
[Huawei GX8] pols murad:
thank you for fast reply

how is the battery life become

screen on time is more 5 hours ?
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
Thanks for feedback :o

dt2w is working , but there is a issue : dt2w cannot working toghether with gestures - so , you should disable/enable dt2w in order to fix ... and at this time gestures will stop working ! Now if you'll toggle gestures off/on , dt2w will stop working and gesture will be ok !
[Huawei GX8] rtfm_joey:
Awesome work surdu! I will try the update tonight and let you know the outcome.
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
Indeed dt2s works after enable/disable. But i mention that all my gesture were off. Clean install, i will be watching further...thank you.

Battery lifetime depend on what are you doing on your device.

If you are not playing , only surfing and music with a decent screen brightness...like 5-10%, i think it will keep you like 5 hours or more continuously.

The major battery drainers in my opinion are : the screen, mobile data, and syncing apps.

I recommend using amplify but with it stock settings and some build prop tweaks i mentioned here somewhere. Disable sync, and use manual brightness.

I charge my device once in two days, with the mentions that i am not killing it . ( surfing, music, wifi, and data connection always on ).

Cheers, i hope this info was useful to someone.

Edit: you may also want to disable "keep awake" for the apps that drain your battery.
[Huawei GX8] pols murad:
Really this is amazing rom

Notification light is working perfectly

I hope u will solve front camera's hdr problem soon

Smart cover is not working

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 PM ----------

Is there anyway to install stock camera app on cm??
[Huawei GX8] Thangyorange:
I see on the latest ROM you said "fixed signal strength problem". Does this also mean phone calls, texts and other notifications from messaging apps will notify me while the screen is off? I saw someone post that they were not receiving phone calls, and not even missed call notifications. Also when they turned their screen on, all the messaging notifications and texts would come in. I had these exact problems. I've just installed the latest ROM. Hoping that is fixed. I thought it was a sleep/wake problem, not a signal problem so I was curious if that is what you were referring to. Will chime back in if I find any bugs. In previous ROM I have profiles enabled. When listening to music with the screen off, all of a sudden the volume dropped. Which I take to meantje phone was disconnecting or reconnecting to my home wifi Trigger. Same while using Bluetooth. It would suddebly disconnect from Bluetooth speaker (also home wifi trigger). Sorry if I am repeating known problems. I thought it might be related. Will report back.

Thanks surdu!
[Huawei GX8] mutari_dirk:
Couple issues

Hi.

Just now installed new ROM. But i still have two problems:

1) NFC doesn't work. Have anybody same issue?

2) My bluetooth speakers (Creative) doesn't appear in list when I'm looking for bluetooth devices around (must say that other devices appear and succesfully connect to my phone (for example Mi band)). And my girlfriend's same G8 with stock 5.1.1 ROM succefully connects to this speakers. This issue was on previous ROM too.

P.S. Thank you very much, surdu, for your work!

How to unlock this phone bootloader so i can install this rom !
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
Use the search function on this forum, and you shall find the answer.

Cheers.
[Huawei GX8] tornido067:
I have found many ways, dude .. But the website keep telling me sorry we are busy ! Thats why i need help
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
Sorry, but here we talk about CyanogenMod ... your question may be here, if you want a answer .

Thanks for understanding !
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
After 2 days of usage...

--Dt2wu works but not always (gestures always off).

--NFC transfer fails (maybe i am to blame , let's say i dont know how to use it).

--I feel a little battery drain (or its only my imagination).

--Beside already known bugs, there is no other problem to report...

I will keep searching and will post later on.

Cheers.
[Huawei GX8] pols murad:
Hope to add fingerprint gesture

Smart cover not working

[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
I can send image via NFC with my device RIO-L01, with the last CM-13.0 :

Yep, I know ... this is also a new issue ( not so big .. ) ... hope to be fixed in the future updates !

EDIT :

I think there is still a issue about NFC ... cannot managed to receive any data , hope to fix soon !
[Huawei GX8] AndroidNewb666:
Take your time, the last update was really nice, I really enjoy the gesture function.

Keep up the good work.
[Huawei GX8] mutari_dirk:
I noticed that LTE is not working after the phone is disconnected from Wi-Fi (no data is sent or received, exclamation mark on icon). I don't know how to solve it, but after turning on\off flight mode, restarting the phone once or twice and changing LTE to 3G and back, it works again. That did not happen on previous ROM.
[Huawei GX8] tornido067:
ok guys this is getting serious !i know someone has told me to post in another place and i did ! and no one answers .i need to unlock bootloader .

i cant cuz the official website keep telling me that it is busy .

[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
I had made a clean install, but it seems gestures don't work at all, (even if dt is off)
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
The full name is "screen off - gesture " ... please just enable gestures, and on screen off, just draw a "C", ... camera will be open :o

"W" for browser will not work with stock (Gello ) browser ... you should install a compatible one .

[Huawei GX8] alex636:
If I uncheck "prevent accidental wake-up" option in display settings the lock screen gestures are working for me.. but not together with dt2w as you explained ... Great work!!!
[Huawei GX8] rtfm_joey:
I've used the new build since it was out and noticed the following:

- Reception bars are okay

- There still is an issue with fast dormancy/unable to maintain the mobile data connection in standby

- I just got a new Huawei headset, volume control works, but not the smart features (pause/play/forward), is it possible to implement this?

- The battery is still draining way too fast at 8% per hour just idling (Installing Amplify now)

- WiFi performance seems to be very low

On the bright side, this rom is fast and stable, thanks for the hard work surdu!
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
Why is your battery draining so fast?

I lose like 2% /8 hours deep sleep. (No battery saving app installed).

Wifi...drops sometimes even if i am near my router.

Do you have sync, and NFC active?

I can give you some tips for battery life...
[Huawei GX8] rtfm_joey:
Hi Marius,

According to Android, the only drainer is 'Android system'. I do have sync enabled for mail (Nine mail) and Pushbullet. Also, I have a Huawei watch, so bluetooth is always active.

I suspect most of the draining is caused by disabling fast dormancy in the build props. I did this because otherwise my provider (T-Mobile NL) is cutting of mobile data connections (like pushmail, whatsapp).

Auto rotate and auto brightness have bene turned off

I've had the exact same config on Android 5 and had little issue with drainage (approx 2%-3% per hour).

Tips are always welcome :)
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
ro.ril.power_collapse=1

pm.sleep_mode=1

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=600

ro.mot.eri.losalert.delay=20

windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=500

ro.min_pointer_dur=8

ro.max.fling_velocity=12000

ro.min.fling_velocity=8000

ro.config.hw_quickpoweron=true

Those tweaks above are always in my build.prop file. I also use amplify (stock setting, don't know if it is placebo or not), and for a smoother UI , i changed the I/O scheduler to ROW.

I am using manual sync and brightness

I may be wrong with my tweaks, but feel free to correct me . Cheers.

Edit: i am trying to achieve no latency without affecting the battery. As you can see bellow my screen is the biggest consumer ...rest is 1%.
[Huawei GX8] nicoloconte:
Hi all,

this is my feedback after 2 hours:

- carrier label showed as "####"

- whatsapp notificaton sometimes lost when dispay is switched off

- cannot select custom carrier

Thank you very much.
[Huawei GX8] rtfm_joey:
Thanks for your settings, I'll try them out in the next few days.

For now, I enabled fast dormancy again and installed Push Notification Fixer which sends a heartbeat every 5 minutes and prevents data connections being cut off. It seems the drainage has stopped (as expected).

I'll post the definitive results later.
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
I understand. I have low signal indoors, so i am using GSM only to prevent battery drain. Cheers.

Porting Stock Huawei Camera to CM-13.0 !

Hello !

I just let you to know, that I'm starting to port (hacking mode ) Huawei HwCamera to CM-13.0 !

Not really working now, but it's open without issue :D
[Huawei GX8] rtfm_joey:
Nice!

Can we request features (i.e. fingerprint swipe/smart headset?)
[Huawei GX8] VonXDA:
Very nice support love the builds
[Huawei GX8] Thangyorange:
Was also having issues with no notifications until turning screen on. Downloaded push notification fixer. I see the android default was 28 minutes for mobile heartbeat interval. Is this true for the latest CM as well? I never had this problem with other phones on CM. I was following a friend to their apartment in the car directly behind them. They stopped and waived their cellphone out the window. I didn't understand. Turns out they were trying to call me. I did not receive any notifications or even missed calls. Latest ROM Rio-L03 thanks!
[Huawei GX8] Joshuacr95:
Me too. And neither know how to solve this... Did you noticed that wifi signal is a little poor than before?
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
Sorry, not other features from stock Huawei Firmware, apart camera :o

Just checked right now and I have not this issues ! I have LTE signal after disconnected wifi ( no need to toggle Airplane mode on/off) ... and also wifi is good enough at least for me :o
[Huawei GX8] rtfm_joey:
I noticed that the issue occurs after charging the phone. The wifi is configured to keep wifi alive during charging. After disconnecting the charger, mobile data loses its connection after a hour or two. Restarting the phone fixes the issue until the next charge cycle.

Anybody able to reproduce this?
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
I made some progress on porting huawei camera to cm-13.0 !

- video rec. front/back - working without issues , also you can take photo while recording :o

- photo saved successfully only for two modes : Panorama & All-focus !

- unfortunately, at this time, you cannot take a photo with front/back camera , besides the two modes listed above !

New stock HwCamera will be included in the next build of cm-13.0 along with other fixes !

firmware flashen

hello please excuse my english ... I have cm 13 installed and want to return to HUAWEI_RIO-L01_Firmware_C432B170CUSTC432D004_Android 5.1_EMUI 3.1 .... how does it work? Thanks in advance for your assistance
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
And what was the question? Be more precisely! Thank you.
[Huawei GX8] geryfo:
how do I get back to original firmware? how does this flash? I have only one file "UPDATE.APP" located in the folder "dload" ... I do not know how I can use the flash
[Huawei GX8] rtfm_joey:
Download the rom, place it on your sd card in a folder called 'dload'and trigger a three-finger restore. Just Google it, this thread is for CM13 only
[Huawei GX8] geryfo:
Thanks but unfortunately does not work

in CM13 rom there is no update program

and the 3 button function volume up and down and power does not work

so I do not know how do I get the original firmware on my Huawei G8 RIO-L01

I'm already nights at google and no one can help me sorry
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
Are you sure :confused: ... it should work, just learn to use them ;)

If you have UPDATE.APP into /dload folder from your sdcard, turn off the device and then use the three hardware buttons :p

Good luck !

I made a clean install. Cheers.

Snapchat

Hey,

First of all thanks a lot for your work! I don't like Emui 4.0 very much and as someone who doesn't got that much skills this was the only working alternative. Although I've got a questions. Snapchat isn't working for me because the soft keys don't hide / the app stretches below them so you can't use the App-buttons which are below them, too. I tried apps like Immersive Mode but that didn't work for me. Thanks a lot!

Greetings to all.

It had been a very long out of Android stuff after coming from iOS.

I Recently got a RIO-L03 and didn't like EMUI so i decided to flash a custom ROM.

I came here, unlocked bootloader and managed to flash the latest version. Phone is working a lot better than in his normal firmware but i'm still finding some bugs. (And i know this is under Development :P. Not planning to be a jackaaass).

-huawei camera (Not cyanogen snap) is not storing pictures you take.

-4G signal was not showing. I tried resetting network settings (as suggested above) but it did not help. After a couple of hours it magically appeared by itself (?)

-i'm trying to enable fingerprint sensor (as stated is working). I went to settings->lock screen->Screen lock created my PIN (Before doing anything else, because is required) but whenever i try to select a different screen lock method the "settings app" crashes and i can't even change my PIN. I'm i missing something?

-Horizontal scroll is not working on the apps drawer.

I don't know why companies don't use stock android on all the devices. The world would be A LOT different.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks a lot.
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
Yep, I think you skipped the most important part : ( Installation instructions ) !

Anyway , thanks for your feedback !
[Huawei GX8] vicebtx:
It's been a long time. I lost my practice. LOL.

I will do a clean install of stock huawei MM, modem and then update to cyanogen. (According to instructions and History). Hopefully that will solve it.

Trying to read 88 pages of posts is not an easy task, though.

I thought i had read it all.

I'l post my results later on.

Thanks again
