Maybe the kernel does not fit. AJ put the B212 kernel in the 206, like he did in b205, because it didn't boot with the supersu-patched kernel from b205.

What we know is that the 'do not disturb' function in phone manager supresses push when 'on'. That's the reason why it partially works when you freeze the phone manager.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] MalcomX:
freezing the phone manager was not possible for me. I can tab on "stop" (or "deactivate") but there is no change. After tapping on "stop", the button changes directly back to "stop" , not staying on "activate". I had to move the directory to another place and do a reboot.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Has anyone tried to put the original b206 boot.img into the installable zip.

I did so and it booted, but still shows an old date of kernel.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
I thougt it would be a good test to take the official update chain:

I installed B202 (to have the base including Doubletap-to wake.

Installed B205 (extracted update.app from updated.zip and dload that)

Installed B206 (extracted update.app from updated.zip and dload that)

So everything stock.

I enabled Double2to wake,.... and it did not work anymore.

I tested push. It works when app is running, but not anymore when app goes to sleep or will be killed by the user.

So I feel, that we can not recommend the B206 from this point of view to have these 2 features.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
I installed the newest playstore verson (beta) on stock B206

My tests showed that push seems to work if you set the pushing app in battery options to run in background when screen is off.

I could not enable doubletap 2 wake yes.

Now I will reinstall AJ's rom on that an try with this option an the new playstore version.

Update: I installed AJ's Rom an Push is working even if App isn't visible in background.

Dopble2 is not working

I will further test and report.

I get permanent message to update payservice.

Maybe I am on 12.6.65 beta.

I downgraded to current playstore version ... and push still works:

So Version 12.5.29 (040400-192802242) is neccessary and the option in battery to keep running when screen is off.

I will report tomorrow, if it still works.

I have an issue with the print plugin. I have installed the HP print plugin. when I want to print a document, no matter what APP I am using, the print dialog will start and after a second a message is shown "there was an error" and the print dialog disappears. So now I am unable to print any document. I have tested by applying all rights (mobile data and WIFI are enabled). I do not have any (more) idea, what kind of setting(s) I can change.

I reinstalled the HP print plugin, but it does not work. The google print plugin does not work, too. There is the same error message.

Please, can someone help me ?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
I did several tests how to get Doubletap to wake and push. I tested many combinations.

My last test together with [MENTION=6001068]Djiban[/MENTION] today was:

Dload B202 (full version with 4 files)

starting the system and enable doubletap to wake option

install TWRP

install AJ's B206 international directly on that.

Boot and install newest playservice version.

--- we had success both options work -- :) :)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
I confirm working push and doubletap2wake on my own device. Installed today.

Make Backup with Huwawei Backup Application.

I'ts good to have set the option to restore device on account (syncronisation of apps)

insert the 4 files for B202 on dload folder on external SD

start the update via *#*#2846579#*#* (dial on telephone app)

after boot do the initial setup with your google accout.

Enable Doubletap to wake

Install TWRP for Android 6.0

install AJ's rom (faster server from Deutsche Telekom) (has same MD5 you should check it)

wait until finished.

Google will restore your apps from playstore.

Push apps must be installed via playstore.

If push stops working when sceen became off, then go to Battery manager and select "protected apps"

In the list search your pushing app and turn the option on to "keep runnung after the screen is turned off"

The missing apps and settings can be restored via HW-Backup

Be sure to update google playservice via via playstore (this should come in automatically)

Enable developer options and set "screen lock" to off, if you don't want a lockscreen after double tapping to wake the device.

Thanks to AJ. Now we have security patch level Mae 2018 :)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] MalcomX:
please can you write a link, where to download the (four files of the) B202 ?

is printing via WLAN possible?

Actually, I have installed the "simply international B206", reading your guide, I think, I have to flush my Mediapd (GEM 701) and do a clean, new installation, to get the result, you described.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] MalcomX:
to install the B202,I have to delete TWRP by flashing an original boot.img. Can someone tell me, what bootimage I have to flash? Actually, I have installed the kangVip Rom by AJ on my second Mediapad X 2. Maybe there will be a usefull hint of someone, who can help me to solve this problem.

Thank you very much :)

EDIT:

I extracted the boot.img from B202 and flashed it, but I think, that was wrong, because, it seems, that I need a revovery.img. By typing the numbers above in the phone app, I can choose, "Softwareupdate via SDCard", but after that, the Mediapad does not update from the "dload" folder. It starts into the system....
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
here you'll find recovery.img from B206 stock:

and there some other official recovery:

Next time you'll install a TWRP recovey, install it on erecovery (recovery2) to then keep the oficial one on recovery1:

[Huawei MediaPad X2] MalcomX:
Hi Djiban, thanks a lot for your answer. Installing the revovery.img is not possible, because I get a message "it seems, that this is not a valid android image".

twrp.img is possible to install and works finde, but not the recovery.img/ recovery2.img. Neither by installing with TWRP nor by installing by adb / fastboot.

You can also use a recovery from former version B205 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=962021903579488029

fastboot flash recovery2 recovery.img

The printing problem is not solved regarding the system print service.

But you can install a printing app for the printer. It can print any document.

Maybe someone can figure out how to get the build in printer service working.

If I select print from Excel or other app, it crashes, when selecting my printer.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] MalcomX:

New build up in the OP. Read the changelogs in post #2 for changes. A clean wipe is recommended as SuperSU has changed from system mode to systemless. This may be the last build as it seems like there aren't many people left who have an X2. If you still own and use an X2 and are reading this, say hello so we can see who's still on here or maybe just like this post.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
This is my report on new B206:

I had installed B202 and B206 on that and rooted myself.

Now I test AJ's B206 international.

I made full Backup with Huawei Backup to easy restore my apps. (Also a NANROID to get back my former installation if anything goes wrong)

On TWRP I choosed WIPE and swiped the slider to do a factory reset, wich wipes cache, dalvic and data.

For AJ recommended that because of systemless root.

So all personal apps and settings will be lost, and must be reinstalled later.

Then I installed the Rom.

The first boot was interrupted by a reboot. This is normal, because of the supersu patching the boot.img.

After some minutes (less than writing these lines..) the system is back.

So much faster than doing a dirty install without wiping data. This would't work and would take up to 20 Minutes.

The first start requires to setup the system as new device.

You can restore the apps if you had enabled the option in google to save apps and synchronize them.

Now you can setup the device like you want and restore your apps and settings.

I had to install Xposed to be able to use appsettings.

The reboot after installing Xposed framework takes about 15 minutes. So be patient.

I had a "hanging" on Chrome and Xposed Installer after a while.

Seems there is an issue. Can't reproduce that again at the moment.

Doubletap2wake ist no longer supported.

Viper4Android does not work by default (It needs selinux to permissive)

Push needs an additional configuration to keep the app alive when screen is off (in battery options)

Thanks to AJ for this new update.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mouse723:
Thanks AJ, KangVIP slim V2 is still used, because it is relatively stable, but it will still be tested in the new version
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Xposed is what causes the rom boot to take a long time. I think I like it better when xposed is not installed by default but easy to install by opening up the Xposed Installer app and hitting install Xposed. This way the user can have a choice if they want. Push should be working now as you've helped me and gave me advice as to how to approach the new build. I figure we'll start with this and make it a basis for any future builds if there are any. Thanks audioralf.

Backup your current rom in twrp then do a wipe and flash.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] trurl3:
I am too still using my GEM 703LT with your's KangVIP.v4 - great thanks for developing for this phone. I'm looking into this thread every day, alothough I am quite content from currently using ROM. Anyway switching to Simply International B206 is tempting for me - only for changing something... ;)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] rimkam:
After downloading ROM, in TWRP the question is to flash SuperSu, or not. If to flash, the device does not load, the eternal screensaver of the Marshmallow. If not, the machine is loaded as new, without ROOT. The first thing I noticed is that the camera does not work. Tried it 2 times.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
You should Not install supersu. It's included.

It uses systemless root. So do a full wipe before.

Since I have no hope that the US will get a large phone with LTE I just ordered a OnePlus 6 and I'm selling my S8+. The OnePlus 6 at least has a 6.3" screen which is large enough for day to day tasks . I'll still be working on the X2.

Fist proceed the dload of b202 or b203.

The full package of 4 files includes the camera. Maybe it needs a component which is missing in the current system folder of b206, which AJ. took for the build. We had a similar issue on mate 9 where we have to flash 2 zip files after format data. I recovered missing files via HwBackup, so I have not noticed that problem.

I'm still impressed by the ongoing support for the X2 and thanks to [MENTION=3792009]audioralf[/MENTION] getting more and more confident with all this android stuff

Long talk short sense - both off my phablet s are now running that brand new Rom - with very little issues.

1. T2W is sadly gone, but I can cope with this.

2. The only issue I have to investigate is that one of my phones is restarting itself when I put the alarm clock to snooze. Every next time I try to wake up the cellphone it doesn't show the lock screen but reboots itself?!

GPS and push both are looking fine so far!

[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
The issue is with the newer kernel we need to use Magisk because it patches the boot.img and it will boot and have no app freezes (so far)

But I think it is responsible for messing with the EFS partition somehow which removes your IMEI(s)

I think it's best to use the older kernel as you'll have dt2w working. It's a good trade-off for just saying you have the latest update.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] MalcomX:
as I had read the issues, I decided, not to install the 5-20-2018, because I have to use my X2 every day and I am dependent on a functional device , especially GPS .

Please do not be angry, that I cannot test the device. I am on the 05-12-2018 version now, and there are no issues for me..

Today, I flashed a stock GEM 701L to this grandious ROM .

AJ, thank You again for your great work and help to keep this device alive !
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
This Simply international B206 dated 4/12/18, does it work bugfree for you?

Du you plan to release a simply international B206 with old kernel (as a working somply international B206?)

You meant 04-12-2008 ? This version is also bugfree for you?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] MalcomX:
Hi Djiban,

I ment the 04/12/2018, that's right.

There are no issues for me. DT2W is working, GPS, and Printing, too.

The alarmclock works fine , Whatsapp and Mail,too. I flashed a genuine Mediapad X2 GEM-701L (Germany) from Stock.

Let me tell You, what I did, when I am back from Holiday ( next week)

Meanwhile I know, that the way to flash AND the way to do some new boots after flashing and do some settings, is important to get a Mediapad without issues.

As I said, for me, it works fine. And, to say this, too: It works smooth and fast and better for me than the KangVIP-Rom.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Yeah the older kernel is pre-patched for root so I think it's a better option. I'm working on a stable KangVIP v4 then I'll be building a new Simply International.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
thanks for your hardwork !!!!

It seems that Simply International B206 04-12-2008 is working fine for some users here. Is the the kernel in this build is the old one (pre-patched for root)?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
I guess I know the way you did use. But maybe you can write it in one of the thread in the x2 forum, that speaks about converting 701L to Android 6.

Thanks for that
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
The old kernel from 2016 does not support printing in combination with B206. And the 'safe' does not work with it.

We discussed that some months ago.

It works all in b205 international

If you want printing and newest security patch you must use the kernel from b206.

In this case you must boot it once.

Then reboot into TWRP and install supersu to root it.

But it's not stable at all. I got issues with b206 with crashing system settings. I can fix it with with wipe cache, but don't know what causes this. I guess it's xposed. Maybe it becomes stabile after some reboots.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
[MENTION=3792009]audioralf[/MENTION] , you should test the brand new build with 2016-October-10 (=restest this kernel) , as [MENTION=395592]malcolmx[/MENTION] is able to print with this kernel!

[Huawei MediaPad X2] robigo47:
Hey aj,

thank you very much!

I've dirty flashed over 4/12/18 version. As yet no problems.

:)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Djiban:
Does this kernel means that last Google security updates for Android are not included? (boot.img should be from B206 anyway, no?)

Does it also cause no issue with dirty flashing between any simply international B2xx?

Thanks
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
Security updates are partially in kernel. Yes. But only very few. There is a tool which checks the issues and reports of the device is affected. I compared both variants and recognized differences. This was the reason why I tried to get my system stabilie with the new kernel. But after updating cyber apps and xposed ... a problem comes up with a FC on main settings. It can be solved by wiping cache. But it comes back after a while. So I gave up and personally recommend good 'old' b205.

The last week's new 206 version may be similar. We need more positive reports of working printserice (over wlan workout internet connection) and safe.

Gesendet von meinem MHA-L29 mit Tapatalk
[Huawei MediaPad X2] MalcomX:
I am printing over WLAN, but I do not use the safe, so I am sorry, that I cannot report, if it is working well. Maybe I can test, printing via direct WLAN to my Printer HP 8600 Pro Plus.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
The B206 kernel will not be included in either Simply International or KangVIP Slim, only in the stock rooted B20x roms. It seems to cause issues when rooting. I wouldn't worry about the date on the security patches right now as it's really not affecting anything and the device is over three years old now. Also, not having double tap to wake on a phone without a fingerprint scanner isn't a good thing.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
You can install v89 manually through twrp. I didn't include it because it's easy to just flash it in twrp. This way for those who don't use xposed they won't be forced to have it integrated.
