EDIT: found the solution for the network "problem": went to Settings / Accounts / (clicked on the 3 dots on top right) / Auto-sync data => on. It keeps the connection open when I turn off my screen now.

As I said in my previous post, all major bugs were fixed for me (clean install on a RIO-L01), however ...

After 2 days the interface starts to stutter a little, if I close everything in the app switcher, UI is smooth again. Maybe it's an app of mine in particular.

The network seems to go to sleep after a while when the screen shuts off. Tethering stops after 10 minutes or so until I turn on the screen again. As a workaround, I use a ping tool in Android to prevent the network from sleeping by pinging some random IP each minute. EDIT: now network stops immediately :(

[MENTION=2335078]surdu_petru[/MENTION]: which nightly build do you take the source from to apply your patches for the GX8/G8? And where are you storing your changes? I would like to check the changelogs and the diffs!

Merci !
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
Please take a look on my github ( see github source code on OP ) if you want to check what was changed/updated !

My source is almost all devices msm8916 & msm8939 with CyanogenMod released ( you can see source on CyanogenMod github ) .

Good luck !

[Huawei GX8] kp2401075:
Thanx for help!!!

Thanks for the help surdu_petru

i have now successfully installed the latest version and

i love it !!!

thanks again for the help
[Huawei GX8] avenir791:
how u use this ping tool to prvent the network from sleeping thanks
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
I use Pingtools Pro, tab "ping", options "ping indefinitely" + "ping interval 60000ms (1 minute)". I ping 8.8.8.8 which will be a server close to you.

I wouldn't suggest you do this all day everyday. It will kill your battery. I do it while tethering when the phone is plugged in.

EDIT: I receive notifications during the night so I guess the phone sleeps and wakes up eventually. It's just annoying that we don't receive messages instantaneously.

EDIT2: found the solution: went to Settings / Accounts / (clicked on the 3 dots on top right) / Auto-sync data => on.
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
So the releases you are doing are they clones of the Oppo R5 (msm8939)?
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
Sorry but NO ... why do you think is clone from Oppo R5 :confused: As I already said , my source is not ONLY from a single device !

Good luck !
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
Hello !

I already started to build CM-14.0 for our device !

( please don't ask stupid questions ... when I'll have something stable, I'll release a first beta test ... thanks for understanding )

Until I'll release a stable CM-14.0 for G8 (GX8) .... in every weekend I'll release a new build for CM-13.0 :)

Best regards !

Hi,

I have this issue. I tried to enter recovery because my sdcard got corrupted, and when i do this, it shows the twrp logo, and it starts flickering ...and nothing...

Any ideas?

First Weekly Releases !

Hello !

First update ( Weekly Releases ) was already released !

Please check OP for downloads .

There is no supplementary features added ( regarding previous version ) - apart what CyanogenMod Team added into source until today .

Best regards !
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
Thanks a lot mate. Already updated. Cheers.
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
EDIT: found the solution: went to Settings / Accounts / (clicked on the 3 dots on top right) / Auto-sync data => on.

Guys the tethering (or mobile data) still stops as soon as I shut down the screen. Is it related to CM13 upstream or this port? I have found nothing on Google regarding this and looked for days. I really need tethering and I can't always have my phone plugged in to make it always awake. I checked the CPU states and it enters deep sleep as soon as I shut the screen off.

I landed on these release notes and it seems its supposed to be working: http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/cm-13-0-release-znh5y

Will this bug be in CM14 if it's indeed a bug in this port or in Huawei drivers?

Thanks!

EDIT: on Reddit they say the problem would lie in this build :(

Mobile Data Not Working

Yeah, same here. Start streaming Pandora, lock phone (power button), when song finishes silence. Press power button to see screen (still locked) and next song kicks in.

[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
I know about this bug by long time ago and it seems to be a SnapdragonCamera issue :)

Flash On it means OFF and Flash Off it means ON .

Good luck !
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
It works. Thank you.
[Huawei GX8] grungle25:
You are correct..

Only took a few hours and just like you experienced it has stopped working.
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
I read about doze in MM and it seems it does 2 things: enter deep sleep and groups notifications together AND block apps that have been inactive for a long time. Maybe something gets switched off. I don't know :( Really frustrating as I'm moving in a house where I don't have Internet so I would be tethering a lot.
[Huawei GX8] AndroidNewb666:
Hey [MENTION=2335078]surdu_petru[/MENTION], first of all, thanks for the hard work you're putting on this project, it's really good to see an active community for this device.

I was wondering if you could maybe add MultiRom support?

I don't really know if this is still a thing but I since there are a couple different roms available for our device, I really like think that would come in handy.

Anyways, if you don't have the time or don't want to do it, I get it, it must be hard for you to work on all of these projects at the same time.

About CM -

For whatever reason, my cpu is always at 100% like it was on performance mode... I haven't done any changes onto the kernel... Im really worried because I'm getting really high temperatures... Around 70° on normal use.

Cheers.

(didn't really know where to put this question so I thought the best place to reach you was making this question here.)
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
Sorry, but I don't have much free time to work on other projects ... maybe one day I will work on a custom kernel to improve performance ( this is the part that I know very well and I like the most, unfortunately not yet time to start this project ) .

About your CPU issue ... I cannot help you with too many things ! I already installed Kernel Auditor ... and my device run on 200MHz about 26% , Deep sleep 40% ... and the rest up to 100% on others frequency ! So I cannot see any issue on my device about CPU !

You can make a test : Perform a clean install and flash ONLY CM-13.0 and Gapps to see how it behaves ... at this point you should not have any issue about CPU .

Good luck !
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
Well ****. I found the problem (well it works now, who knows how long it's gonna work). Turns out that I opened my calendar and it said to me "sync is turned off, modifications to your events will not... blah blah". So I went to enable it.

Went to Settings / Accounts / (clicked on the 3 dots on top right) / Auto-sync data => on

Then I said to myself, I will try tethering maybe the connection will be kept open and BAM it worked event if my screen is off now.

Well after thinking about it it makes sense now. If bg sync is off, why keep the connections open. But it has its collateral damages :)

So after maybe 2 weeks of trying everything, I found it.

Mine was already on.

Unfortunately mine was already on and it still happens :(

Have tried turning it off then back on just for fun. :)
[Huawei GX8] Trailhunter:
Hi

thx for the good OS! I like it more than the orignal EMIUI. Everything is working fine, especially apps for the Lock-Screen :) and rSAP.

But for my dual-sim-phone (RIO-L01) how can i deactive one of the simcards? eg. for working for the weekend.

at the moment, I take the sim out of the phone - manuel disable a simcard :D

Maybe there is an own app, or a code that i can run manually?
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
Today is the update day :angel:
[Huawei GX8] Trailhunter:
Du you know that is fixed now :)?

My CM13 Rom does not offer me an update. Can i install the new ZIP without losing all apps and data?
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
If you only update the rom, you dont lose a thing.

Follow the instruction from the 1st page.
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
EDIT: Rebooted, started working again

I don't get it, the network bug is re-occuring after disappearing for 3 days. I'm starting to loose hope since the updates are just modifications from upstream and this bug is related specifically to this port.

[MENTION=2335078]surdu_petru[/MENTION] I don't see any commits in your github. The sources of your port must be made open source no? Can you give us exactly from which sources you build the port? I don't want to build it I just want to follow the commits history to see what's changed and file a bug on the right repo.
[Huawei GX8] Trailhunter:
in the current update its the same.
[Huawei GX8] redbeard1083:
Forgot to post, new weekly update is available. see the OP. moving forward i'm going to be helping out with building cm13 for this thread.
[Huawei GX8] AndroidNewb666:
Try doing a clean flash.

I don't have any network bug, everything is working perfectly.
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
Hello !

Please can you check : Settings - Battery - History details , to see Cellular network signal bar what color is ?? if is almost green than should be OK, but in my case this bar is almost red and this is not OK ... this could explain also your issues about Tethering ;)

The predominant red color bar for Cellular network signal it means : there is no cellular connection on screen off !

But with the same build , there is some devices where the predominant color bar for Cellular network signal is green !

There is no fix for this issue right now ... but I hope to find a way in the future to fix this issue .

Maybe [MENTION=5399951]redbeard1083[/MENTION] can help you more than me ... he started building CM-13.0 on every week-end for you all !

About your request :

No, because it is very simple : there is no such thing !

Please, once again check my OP for source code ! My source is open and also you'll see all commits there ( brunch - mm ) .

Best regards !
[Huawei GX8] KobySam87:
Any update ...?
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
Yes, see first page
[Huawei GX8] KobySam87:
OK
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
[MENTION=2335078]surdu_petru[/MENTION] Thank you for your explanations. This is indeed the problem. I am in a remote location so that explains it. BUT if I go to the city with a good signal, I have to reboot for the network to continue when I shut the screen of. Toggling airplane is not enough.

"The good thing" is when I come back to the remote location, the network still continues when I turn the screen off UNTIL I reboot.

So I guess "the switch" that triggers whether or not the network will work when the screen is off is occurring on boot after evaluating the strength of the signal. However the signal becomes after that, it doesn't matter.

So THANK YOU, you finally nailed it :)

---------- Post added at 10:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 PM ----------

Check my previous answer to OP :) I hope you have the same problem so you can be sane again ...
[Huawei GX8] Trailhunter:
Servus,

Maybe, for Radio Network Problems, instead of reboot the whole phone you call reboot only the RIL Daemon.

use the following command in a Shell (eg SuShell) - of course, your need root-rights for this:

setprop ctl.restart ril-daemon

I don't have problems with my network, but need this command after my car rSAP disconnects and the network-service RIL needs a restart.

all you need to know about rSAP on Android: www.android-rsap.com very great support und app!
[Huawei GX8] cerazunio:
Newbie needing help :confused:

Hey guys,

Still new to the android modding scene but I managed to root and install TWRP luckily I guess.

Having already downloaded GAPS and the ROM and updated my phone to Marshmallow, I've been looking for detailed steps on how to flash the ROM,

at the first page I think its assumed everyone knows and this is where im stuck.

any help would be highly appreciated,

thanks!
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
I followed these but of course I took all the files from this thread.
[Huawei GX8] Trailhunter:
Hello,

mh, i don't know - i grabed the commands in the android-rsap Forum and thought, it might help some people with theses problems. Normally, the rSAP - App has an Plugin, which runs these commands for itself.

I use it only, when sometimes i change something and the Plugin has no root-rights and fails. Than i manually runs the commands in the SuShell, instead of reboot the phone.

In my opinion it can run also in the terminal - but the test just in the moment, does.... nothing. No Error, No RIL-Restart.

Sorry, maybe another user can help.
[Huawei GX8] duendemago:
My only problem: Must install Stock 6.0 MM first! The only one made by same Dev, makes my screen to flicker and the process to extract the modem file etc. seems complicated for a noob user like me...gues I will have to wait. But is great that many people can have MM! Thanks Dev!!! :)
[Huawei GX8] Shampoos:
There's no need to extract anything. Just flash MM ROM + Modem, perform another factory reset and flash CM.
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
Or if you are still running stock, just update over the air?
[Huawei GX8] Shampoos:
Not all models have official 6.0, like L03.
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
Oh really, didn't know that sorry guys :)
[Huawei GX8] duendemago:
Thanks for kind answer. Can you explain how do I extract modem from my actual 5.1 ROM for avoiding the flickering problem? My second question: Is the MODEM file also flashed via TWRP? And finally: do you recommend CM at the long term? (can we expect major bugs to be fixed, such as: low signal bars, wifi connectivity problems, fingerprint sensor, etc?)

I know this update will make the Gx8 runs smoother. Now day I feel the phone has became sloppy, laggy and freezes some times (even with 8 cores, seems that it can't deal with multi tasking!)

Greetings [MENTION=4870151]Shampoos[/MENTION]
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
I found this for you.

I run CM13 on this phone and I find it snappy. There are some lags here and there but I deal with it. This is an 8 core yes but it's a middle range CPU, no frills. Also, for me at least, most of the time (99%), the 4 x 1.2 GHZ cores are off (sleeping).

It seems there's no full NFC support but I don't use it. Everything else is working for me. My phone rebooted alone once and sometimes an app just closes like that. But I don't know if it's related to CM13 or not.

A few weeks ago it was unstable and had problems but since 2-3 weeks it's usable daily without a problem.

I won't go back to EMUI ever, in fact, I chose the GX8 because of CM13 support. I ran EMUI like 2 hours.
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
For some unknown reason, a service of power management , wasn't added properly in the last two updates ( weekly updates ) ... this was fixed right now and with the next update we can expect an improvement in performance CPU / battery !

Edit :

As I think, you already know : redbeard1083 will release all these updates weekly !
[Huawei GX8] redbeard1083:
this week got away from me! i didn't forget. i hope to have it built and uploaded tomorrow at the latest. my apologies for the inconsistency.

Hi all, with the latest version I have the usual 3G problem and a new problem to geoloc. Different app cannot find the location though I have high precision enabled. Maps navigation works well...anyone have the same issue? How can I fix it?
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
Out of curiosity, what are your usual 3g problems?
[Huawei GX8] nicoloconte:
After some hours the internet connection goes down.
[Huawei GX8] AndroidNewb666:
Don't know what happened or what you guys did, but the mobile signal is significantly better as you can see on the screenshot, the bar on the bottom is almost fully green.

And also, I'm getting approximately 6 hours of screen on time (as you can see on the screenshot) and that's insane, thanks for the build!

I'm saying this because for some reason I didn't have this much battery on the other builds, you guys really did a great job.
[Huawei GX8] mariusmauxy:
I have no problem with none of 2g,3g or 4g. I navigated today using maps+ gps on all networks with no issue. Try to make a clean install. Cheers

[Huawei GX8] daankets:
Same issue

I have the same issue with Google Fit. It keeps asking me to enable the location. Pressing the button takes me to the location preferences, but Google Fit is never added to it. Also, maps & maps.me take a longer time in order to get a location fix. Finally, maps is not collecting 'visited' locations.
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
What do you guys think is the most recent stable version?

The GX8 of my girlfried has the same problem. Last night I gave hotspot to my S6 and I wonderd why i couldn't switch to any site and it worked when I unlocked her phone. Same with WhatsApp messages, she always got only 1 hook.... and if she takes her phone and unlocks it, then I get the second hook on my phone in her message log.

hi everyone

thanks for this amazing build.

but I have a major problem.

I want to root it and when I flash it don't lunch again and I have boot loop .please if someone is successful with rooting method introduce me one.

and I noticed that that the optical stabilizer is off in the camera.

and please someone introduce me some good software so can backup my phone with the PC
[Huawei GX8] surdu_petru:
You don't need to flash anything for root ... you just need to enable root on CM-13.0 ;)
[Huawei GX8] redbeard1083:
i'm back!

new weekly update. should include Oct security updates. enjoy.
[Huawei GX8] mikegleasonjr:
Is this only security fix release because I had to revert to two weeks ago due to network instability and GPS bugs... ?
[Huawei GX8] redbeard1083:
Yes. Only security updates.

Might be worth making a twrp backup and trying a clean install. I haven't seen a lot of the GPS stuff you guys have been talking about. Losing cellular when sleeping I have seen.
[Huawei GX8] AndroidNewb666:
You don't need to root it, just activate it on the developer options.
[Huawei GX8] allurba:
With the stock rom I have network signal to the fullest and with cyanogen have little network signal. If I go to poor signal areas, with cyanogen I have nothing.
