[Ascend Mate 7 General] CloudCompute:
Thank you Ciao. All's well now. I was able to downgrade to B326 and then again to B148. As of now I am still on B148. I intend to get back to B514 or the latest Kangvip rom at the earliest opportunity. The boot animation had changed to "Huawei" instead of the "Huawei Acsend" as soon as I got to B326, and I am quite sure that the rest of the issues I had with SuperSU would have have also resolved with that.

Meanwhile let us know about your experience with Kangvip 561. Do you see any noticeable improvements over B560? What version of Xposed framework does it come with? V84 or V85?

---------- Post added at 07:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 AM ----------

That's good news. Now my plan is to get to B514 first, take a good TWRP backup, and then move on to B561. I had used your de-bloat script and it just does a great job, thank you for taking time to write that.

Will it be possible for you to make some modifications to the script? I need a script that takes away only the Chinese applications, Kingroot and Skytone and I think the script removes more than that. Looks like it removes Huawei ID, Huawei Cloud and some other apps that i'd like to retain.

Hi cloudcompute.. Just wanted to tell you there's small misunderstanding... My name is not Ciao but Leonardo... I am Italian and I like to end my posts saying "ciao" which in Italian means Hello...

PS: glad to hear that your device is back!
[Ascend Mate 7 General] CloudCompute:
Oops!!! My bad...that was embarrassing, :p, but I've learnt something new.

How's your experience with B561 been so far? What version of Xposed does it come with? Do you see any improvements over B560?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] xd4d3v:
It seems the location and name of the removed apps in B561 is different, need to change the cleanup scripts. :(
[Ascend Mate 7 General] leonardus_magnus:
No need to worry... It was fun, because at first I did not get the misunderstanding....

B561 has no evident differences with previous versions, especially in my case: as you know, I flash new versions over the previous ones...

I have an issue with superSU... keeps asking me to update SU binaries (it always asks to do so after flashing a new version) but this time keeps asking at every boot, both after normal or TWRP binaries update... The funny thing is that my device is perfectly rooted and SuperSu works well, as well as all apps that need root access (i.e. SdMaid, titanium, device control, etc. ) :confused::silly:

I tried update Supersu to latest, installed via playstore, flashed via TWRP..., unroot... no way... I guess it's something in the debloat script by xd4d3v... the script removes also kingroot, but I'm afraid it removed something else that now superSU it's missing. Of course after debloat script I flashed supersu, but...

For what concerns Xposed framework I cannot tell which version is included in B561, because I prefer to flash xposed framework by myself via TWRP after disabling theme engine editing build.prop...

It's booting right now (:fingers-crossed:) after flashing v85... I'll let you know anyway...

Ciao

---------- Post added at 10:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 AM ----------

As reported I'm afraid that the script provokes issues with superSU binaries when removing kingroot... cannot tell for sure. Did you used the script after flashing B561? dirty flash or factory reset? Can you update correctly supersu binaries??

Thanks!!
[Ascend Mate 7 General] xd4d3v:
Hi Leo.

I just tried B561, and yes, i get the same issue as yours, but I don't think it's the script.

since it doesn't really work anymore, I did everything manually.

could it be supersu? I used 2.74 (also weird that the old supersu icon is still there)

maybe something leftover from that horrible Kingroot?

Had some other issues with B561, so i decided to go back to B522, have a look at your install, there might be some leftover from Kingroot, that needs to be deleted..
[Ascend Mate 7 General] leonardus_magnus:
Well, glad to hear that it's not the script... I had superSU 2.65, I tried 2.70 and I have now 2.74... no way...

What about this procedure: unroot, install again kingroot and then install again superSU and let it uninstall kingroot... If I have a few minutes this afternoon I'll try...

Ciao.

PS: xposed v.85 installed perfectly and working... tried also MATERIAL DESIGN XPOSED INSTALLER (HERE)

Perfect. And much nicer to see...

http://xdaforums.com/xposed/material-design-xposed-installer-t3137758
[Ascend Mate 7 General] leonardus_magnus:
No way again...

Even unroot, install again kingroot and then install again superSU and let it uninstall kingroot worked at all... superSU keeps asking to update binaries... At the moment I keep kingroot and I'll wait for next kangVip update... except this issue B561 works well...

Ciao
[Ascend Mate 7 General] CloudCompute:
Thanks for your feedback on B561. Do you wanna try B561a to check if that has the same issues as B561? I have tried out Kangvip roms with and without the "A" and sometimes the "A" versions come out better. Eg B553a. Maybe B561a is another case like that. I might try that out over the weekend. Can you give the links for Xposed Framework V85? I also need help in backing up my stock recovery of my unrooted B514 before I flash TWRP recovery and root my device. B514 so far looks good, it has none of the frills that come with Kangvip roms, however it seems to be quite stable.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] OscarBaia:
Super SU working ok just flash BETA-SuperSU-v2.74
[Ascend Mate 7 General] leonardus_magnus:
Hello, thanks for the info... I also tried that superSu version without luck... One one side you have a different device (a device supported by kangvip ROMs, while mine is not) and this only could explain my problems with superSu and also let me ask you: did you run the debloat script posted on OP?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] OscarBaia:
Yessssssss i did ran it. Works ok
[Ascend Mate 7 General] CloudCompute:
Can anyone guide me in backing up the stock recovery of my unrooted B514 before I flash TWRP recovery and root my device?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] CloudCompute:
I figured that I can get the stock recovery image extracted from the rom usong Huawei Update Extractor. For now I am still on B514 rooted. As I had indicated earlier. Stock roms have a significantly better battery backup compared to Kangvip roms, though they obviously lask the many frills that Kangvip roms come with.

Meanwhile what is the feedback for Kangvip B561 and B561 a from folks that have tried them already? Are there any noticeable improvements over Kangvip B560
[Ascend Mate 7 General] OscarBaia:
I have an issue with play store app. To install or update I need to do restart to phone for every app. Can anyone help
[Ascend Mate 7 General] CloudCompute:
What rom are you on? Did your issue get fixed already? If not try this. Delete your google account and add it again.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] OscarBaia:
Resolve. Did factory reset. Thanks for the help
[Ascend Mate 7 General] leonardus_magnus:
After various attempts, I downgraded to B560... B561 on MT7-L09 has something wrong with superSU and I cannot stand any longer bloats included in kingroot...

Wait for next release...

Any new Update from KangVIP?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] CloudCompute:
For Mate 7, Kangvip B561 from May 30th is the latest. They have so many iterations coming out for Mate 8, they seem to have lost interest of Mate 7.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Skorpi58:
Thank You....you mean also, it is to late for our Mate7 to see new Updates from KangVIP and also from Huawei...

KangVIP B561_A and B560 Stock ROM are the last ROM's..

What's about EMUI 4.1, can we hope anything?
[Ascend Mate 7 General] CloudCompute:
​

I tried Kangvip B561a yesterday after being on stock B560 for close to a month. I had no issues with SuperSU or with debloating kingroot and the Chinese applications. I see marginal improvement in battery backup and available ram over kangvip B560 that i had used last month. B561a performs nearly as good as the stock roms in both the parameters.

The steps I followed:

Took a nandroid backup of stock B560. Wiped everything from TWRP recovery, everything except SD card. Flashed Kangvip B561a and SuperSU. Booted up. Installed Google play store and Google play services using akp files I had on my SD card. Opened SuperSU. Installed system app remover(root) from playstore and granted root access. Installed chrome and SwiftKey keyboard. Removed all bloats, kingroot, build in browser and keyboard. Rebooted. Removed lunar calendars, and replaced the magazine unlock covers with a set of 191 pictures I have on my SD card. Changed dpi to 360 and shrunk the icon size to 130. Installed Xposed and Viper4android using inbuilt installers in K-settings and it's all set to rock and roll. :cool::cool:
[Ascend Mate 7 General] leonardus_magnus:
MT7-B561_Kangvip_v2.zip and MT7-B561_Kangvip_v2A.zip are available for download at usual usercloud and baidu folders...

[Ascend Mate 7 General] CloudCompute:
What a timing! Just 2 days back I spent couple of hours installing and cleaning up Kangvip B561 and we have the V2 here.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] Skorpi58:

[Ascend Mate 7 General] P-G:
Hi guys, can anyone tell me what to do to install B561 instead of my B357 (kangvip)? I am totally lost in conversation and threads.. Are there any step by step instructions? Thanks in advance!
[Ascend Mate 7 General] leonardus_magnus:
Yes... That's what I was thinking, too :crying:...

I believe I fixed issues I reported with superSU (wrong permissions) therefore I'll go for a B561V2 dirty flash - even if I know that this may bring problems - but it's sooo easy...

Otherwise I'll follow your procedure for a clean install...

Ciao
[Ascend Mate 7 General] CloudCompute:
I hope B561 V2 comes with the latest Xposed framework and installer.

I see you save some time by dirty install, however I am not sure how significant that is. Backing up app data and getting it back hardly takes the kind of time spent on clean up. You'll still need to root again, and clean up the bloats, that's what takes bulk of the time anyways.

I need help with the following.

1. A modified debloat script that removes just what I need removed. That's the Chinese applications, Yellow pages, Kingroot and Skytone.

2. Link for flashable gapps.

---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------

You can take the following path to Kangvip B561 V2.

1. Restore to stock LP rom B331 using a clean nandroid backup.

2. Flash stock recovery for LP.

3. Upgrade to MM B522 using local update. You might even get an OTA once you are on B331.

4. Once on MM, flash TWRP recovery for MM.

5. Copy the firmware for Kangvip B561 V2 into your SD card.

6. Wipe everything except sd card and install Kangvip B561 V2 from TWRP recovery.

7. Flash SuperSU, remove bloatware and you are good to go...

[Ascend Mate 7 General] xd4d3v:
Can you post the full path of the folders you removed?

I will use it to modify the script.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] CloudCompute:
Thanks a ton xd4d3v. However I have already removed the apps I wanted removed. I can find them the next time I install a Kangvip rom. I still am not sure how to get the full path of an application, can you guide me on that?

I have a feeling that your script removes more than what absolutely needs to be removed. So if you can remove anything not listed below from the script then that might do the trick as well.

All Chinese applications.

Yellow pages

Kingroot

Skytone
[Ascend Mate 7 General] xd4d3v:
rather than use a root uninstaller tool, just use root explorer.

the apps will be either in /system/priv-app or /system/app

I'm happy to change the script, but because i'm currently not using KangVip, i'm not sure what files to delete (kangVip seems top change the apps, and the location and files from release to release)
[Ascend Mate 7 General] CloudCompute:
Thanks for the response xd4d3v. I'll make an attempt to find the folders when I install the next Kangvip rom. I am currently on Kangvip B561a V2.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] xd4d3v:
even easier way.

look in the play store for "uninstaller pro" when you click on a system app, it tells you the path, then i can use that for the script..

Thank you very much for reply.
[Ascend Mate 7 General] CloudCompute:
Kangvip roms are based on stock roms however they are modified to add some cool customisation options. All the additional options are added to the setting and under K-Setting. K-Setting needs to given root access for all the features to work, however most of the functions work without root. You can select a DPI between the default 480 to the smallest 320. The size of the icons can be changed as well. the dropdown menu can be modified to view all the shortcuts in one go. K-setting comes with inbuilt Xposed and Viper4android installers. The look and feel of the status bar and navigation buttons can be modified. There are some additional tweaks as well that i havent tried, like Mipop setting and key settings. The latest for MM is KangVip rom is B561a V2

Hey,

Sorry for the delayed response, I never received any email alerts for your post. Be aware that the below steps are risky and can potentially brick your phone.

You can take the following path to Kangvip B561 V2.

1. Restore to stock LP rom B331 using a clean nandroid backup.

- Means in TWRP? Or using local update? Answer: TWRP. If you are on Kangvip B357, then you are already using TWRP. Download the nandroid backup from the following link.

https://mega.nz/#!4hQGUS6b!89ntJ_iq1...XSkCcN1uVG25Y8

2. Flash stock recovery for LP.

- I really don't know how to do it, can you please help? Answer: Use the following tool. https://mega.nz/#!9kBWnY7T!ybhARn5UN...xkgdVhEza6zwFQ

3. Upgrade to MM B522 using local update. You might even get an OTA once you are on B331.

- This is clear.

4. Once on MM, flash TWRP recovery for MM.

- Where to find TWRP for MM and which method? Answer: See answer for question 2.

5. Copy the firmware for Kangvip B561 V2 into your SD card.

- This is clrear

6. Wipe everything except sd card and install Kangvip B561 V2 from TWRP recovery.

- This is clrear

7. Flash SuperSU, remove bloatware and you are good to go...

- This is clrear, TWRP offers SupeSU installation automaticly, I guess. Answer: Absolutely not. Do not install SuperSU offered by TWRP. Flash SuperSU_v2.64_Pro.zip after flashing Kangvip B561 V2.

I am happy to inform you that latest update of Xposed framework works perfectly with B561v2... As stated by Rovo89, v86 of xposed framework works well with modified ROMs as EMUI.

As tested by me there is no need any more to edit build.prop as described in the first post (adding ro.config.hwtheme=0 ro.config.hw_theme=0 ro.config.themecolor=0) or to tick "disable resource hooks".

At the moment I use the following modules without any issues:

AcDisplay

Android N-ify

DynamicAlarmIcon2

Flat Style Bar Indicator

Flat Style Colored Bars

Marshmallow SD Fix

Notification Count

Perfect Color Bar

SettingEditor

Most of them are actually theming modules...

The main point is that I can now use and change huawei themes with the dedicated app... Finally!!!

Just install v86... As already reported I recommend Xposed installer by dvdandroid... it can also create the flashing script to install the framework via TWRP after downloading it...

report back guys, successfull attempt here. here's the step by step :

1. Nandroid Backup current ROM,

2. Factory Reset,

3. Unroot, restart then uninstall kingroot

4. boot into Bootloader and flash Huawei Stock Recovery 5.1.1

5. Copy original ROM B311 into sd-card dload folder ( you may create this if doestn exist)

6. open updater app, choose local update and select correct dload folder.

7. just wait, your phone will boot into recovery and automatically update

8. now your in stock B311, you can download OTA or offline update

i'm boot into bootloader and flash the Huawei Original Recovery 5.1.1

on Kangvip v2a (i flash kangvip v2a after upgrade to b560), i found GPS issues, theres no apllication cant read GPS, someone have same prblem? ---- solved
[Ascend Mate 7 General] CloudCompute:
Thanks for trying out that method prahastaabenk. I thought it was too risky to suggest, however now we know it's not :). How did you fix the issue with your GPS? I never had any issues with GPS on Kangvip B561a V2 though.

[Ascend Mate 7 General] prahastaabenk:
sure, which one is confusing you? i'm upgrade to V2a from Kangvip L
[Ascend Mate 7 General] P-G:
Thnx mate! I just want to be sure in some steps, you know :)

1. Nandroid Backup current ROM,

- In TWRP, easy

2. Factory Reset,

- In TWRP, easy

3. Unroot, restart then uninstall kingroot

- How to unroot? I have never done unroot before :) Uninstall kingroot - means just uninstall the app, so easy :)

4. boot into Bootloader and flash Huawei Stock Recovery 5.1.1

- Bootloader - it is fine, especially with kangvip, which has feature to boot into bootloader :) But tell me about stock recovery flash. Can I use the "Change recovery Huawei mate 7 by mobopx" utility instead of entering bootloader and so on?

5. Copy original ROM B311 into sd-card dload folder ( you may create this if doestn exist)

- Easy

6. open updater app, choose local update and select correct dload folder.

- Easy

7. just wait, your phone will boot into recovery and automatically update

- Waiting is easy

8. now your in stock B311, you can download OTA or offline update

- So once I am on B311, I can do OTA until I am on MM and then I can update to the newest kangvip (MM)? Well, not really, I think, I need to do root again, new TWRP etc..
