[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] ramritharaj:
EMUI Ducks

Kiwi L22

New software with volte feature drains battery very quickly. Phone lags to much.

I came back from AOKP just for VoLTE and in custom rom there is some audio issues, but i cant use official firmware as a daily driver because of lagging and battery drains.

My suggestions is that huwaei should consider giving stock Android for those who dislikes EMUI.

Nobody care about ios, and its useless replicating them over performance.

5x hardware shines with custom roms, where EMUI struggles to perform.

Next suggestion is a simple method for unlocking bootloader.
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
I agree with you, fortunately EMUI wil "lose a little bit of weight in version 5"
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] ramritharaj:
Will 5x get updated to EMUI 5?

They should fix and release a new update for B360 is a resource hungry and its degraded performance,

Some features suggestions-

1. Ability to modify height of navbar. Make navbar more useful. (I dislikes navbar and use other app - multi action home button. )

2. Ability to increase media volume steps.

3. Volume buttons change tracks while screen is off.

4. Automatic blue light filter.

5. Statusbar brightness control.
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] vsriram92:
Hope so Huawei won't leave the EMUI giving the stock android experience by removing all the stuffs in EMUI.

Apart from its specs, it promotes itself with the EMUI functionalities.

Even Google has taken down the fingerprint swipe from EMUI into the stock Android from Nougat. So Huawei and EMUI can't be separated officially.
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
I am expecting it to get updated. However, it's up to honor
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] ramritharaj:
Yes, there are some useful and excellent stuffs, like a built in firewall, fingerprint swipe, etc.. Even though no fancy features shouldn't be compromised for performance and battery backup for a mobile device.

Stay near stock doesn't mean that emui can't be innovative, Make it lightweight, stop replicating iOS,
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
You're right, EMUI can by lightweight and full of features like OxygenOS on the 1+3
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] vsriram92:
EMUI cannot be Oxygen and Oxygen cannot be EMUI.

EMUI is targeted at people who were using Iphone. So they need to provide a friendly UI for them.

And EMUI is mainly designed for Huawei devices. Not for its sub brand Honor. Honor reuses the available resource from its parent company to cut its cost.

Honor concentrates on middle class people. Huawei concentrates on High class people (Most of them who owns Iphone)

And since Huawei targets the customers of Apple Iphone, It won't use stock android like feature. Although, some of the stock android like features might be added as an option in it.
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
I do see what you're pointing at :) now I do understand
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
I would just like to see EMUI improve overtime and to go worse. Especially in smoothness and performance.
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] vsriram92:
EMUI is removing some features on upgrading. It might be on the idea of improving smoothness.
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
I really like the movements of Honor and Huawei on this. I hope they beat Samsung. :D
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] vsriram92:
No worries. Auto brightness wont be removed...
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] KNGPN Q w Q:
What about giving us USB OTG support? It is supported by the hardware (you can flash custom kernels to enable it), but not by the software (so not by EMUI). And yes, tone down that EMUI! The phone is so much slower with it. Or at least, optimise it.
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] vsriram92:
I hope so no OTG support will be provided.
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] KNGPN Q w Q:
I'm confused. What exactly are you trying to say? Do you hope OTG support will be provided or do you hope it won't be provided?
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] vsriram92:
It wont be...
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] bleached45:
Just got the 5X for a family member who is less tech savvy, and I must say, the protected apps thing is going to be a pain. I like the feature, but not the current implementation. I'd really prefer to see an option to automatically protect any new app by default and then I can go turn off individual apps. Even the current "All Apps" slider only selects the currently installed apps, so I can turn them all on to protected but when I install a new app, I have to go back and protect it.
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
Guys, EMUI 5 will arrive on the 5X
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
Where did you see the news?

Just read it. 2-3 months was the timeframe said, so maybe it'll come in December or maybe next year if delayed. Awesome news. :D
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
I hope so, since the p9 had a nougat preview in july, EXCITED
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] vsriram92:
Honor 8 will get it by Jan or feb. 5x will be after that only. So dont expect it to be early.
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] vsriram92:
Thanks for the update link...

Its a great news for all 5x owners.
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
Indeed, I hope they're up to their word
[Honor 5X Guides, News, & Discussion] matthias_n:
With the help of themes and alternative launchers EMUI really isn't bad imo. The only thing that annoys me is the lockscreen... I want to have the option to swipe on my e.g. Whatsapp notifications to see more of them... As soon as I have 2 + whatsapp messages (even if from the same person) I can't read them from the lockscreen... And this definitely is annoying ^^

And the ability to swipe down on the lockscreen to access the quicksettings would definitely be nice to have

Im too expecting the same like the one in Moto.

[Android Head-Units] reed2112:
I have seen several threads with issues similar to mine; however, none with this exact issue. Everyone seems to be running into trouble trying to install updates or flash the unit. This is not what happened in my case. I bought this Android Head Unit on Ebay a few months ago. It has been working just fine until a few days ago. It gave me an error message about "tw has stopped" or something similar. All I could do was press "ok" over and over again. It just kept popping back up. So, I left it alone, got where I was going and turned the car off. When I turned the car back on all the unit would do was either show a white screen, a screen with multi colored lines, or the boot up logo (Toyota symbol in my case) and then back to the white or multi-colored screen. It has gone to the "Android" logo a couple of times; however, never gets past that point. I hear static. That's it. I put a CD in and it ate it. Won't give it back. I've pressed the reset button. It just loops back to the blank screen with static. Sometimes it will boot all the way to the Android logo but no further. Most of the time the backup camera is not working. If the bootup gets to the Android screen, the backup camera will work. I emailed the Ebay seller and they said they were going to send me a file. When I asked when they were going to send me a file they said "Hello Friend, the Android 6.0 update is not ready yet". I emailed again and asked if they could just send me a file to restore the current version. I'm kinda stuck until they send me a file I guess. I don't really know exactly what version I have on there now. 4.4 I think; however, I know there is a lot more to it than that. I wish I'd made a restore file (if that's even possible). Also, there are no instructions as to how to get it to boot into recovery mode. I've tried lots of combinations of buttons, but I'm really just shooting in the dark here. Any helpful information anyone might have would be appreciated. I really have come to depend on the Navi and other functions. This unit fits right in my car and looks really slick. I was really enjoying having it until it quit working....

Install any custom rom u will get it

---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 AM ----------

We use it on enigma v5 and s8 rom.v1 all works
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] matzie:
Hi. I've read hundreds of posts and followed dozens of tutorials. I'm aiming to gain an understanding of what actually happens during the rom cooking process and I think I'm getting there. I've used loads of different toolkits and kitchens and most recently I've been using 'romdonalds' which has given me a better understanding.

However I'm a bit confused about the difference between the dump directory with loads of files and folders, and the OEM/SYS versions of these which I've seen when using packagetool and buildos. I know how to go from the 'flat' structure to the oem/sys structure, but I don't know how to go back again.

I'd also like is to know what really happens behind the scenes when you click the go button in buildos.exe.

TIA

Matt
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] matzie:
I could really use a little help to understand what's going on here. If there's some clear explanation of what actually happens during cooking that I've missed, could someone point it out to me please? I've searched thoroughly, read extensively, and pulled my hair painfully... but I just don't get it. I've analysed batch files in just about every kitchen there is but I've reached a point where I need some help.

If there's some unwritten quid-pro-quo requirement that I've missed before I can ask a question then tell me that too - I'm no freeloader, I've just donated to Slither2006 for his cube, and when I've fully grokked the process I'll write up everything I've learned in a really clear guide, I promise.

I'm not an idiot either - I was a technical architect at a large UK ISP until recently, doing stuff like building a huge virtualised server farm with custom management tools and a homebrewed iSCSI /LVM2 snapshot system that blows away anything commercially available, and now I work for myself... I've used HTC devices since the Blue Angel, also an Exec and now a hermes... but I could really use a hand here.

Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] crazyC:
I suspect you are quite a bit ahead of me here, but here goes.

The OEM/Sys folders are just part of the Dump folder, but extracted and turned into a more logically arranged order for manipulation.

When you run buildos it just takes these and a few other bits such as the XIP section and puts it back in a format for rebuilding.

Best I can do I am afraid.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] matzie:
Thanks for your reply crazyc. It's getting a little clearer now. Can anyone else shed any light? Ideally I'd like to know exactly what buildos does to turn the organised folders back into the dumped ones.

Piecing it all together:

A: I know how to get the dump folder from a source rom (nbhextract->nbsplit->imgfsfromnb->imgfstodump).

B: I know how to make changes to the dump directory manually (add/delete files; extract/convert .hv files to .rgu; edit .rgu files and reconvert to .hv; edit initflashfiles.dat to create shortcuts on first boot)

C: I know that instead of all that I could convert the dump directory to the organised oem/sys pair (pkgtool) and know that in theory I could manage that with BuildOS.exe to integrate oem packages with the option.xml file in them - but I don't understand what's happening here relative to (B) above

D: I can turn the dumped folder (but not the oem/sys folder) back into a flashable rom (imgfsfromdump->imgfstonb->nbhtool)

Can someone who really understands what's going on explain where I'm confused?

Thanks

Matt
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ai6908:
Here is my take about cooking....

When the dumped OS has all the rgu files in tact then spliting the dump folder as OEM and SYS will work.

Where as some OS do not have rgu file in them (some cooks prefer to cook this way...all OEM OS have rgu files). In this case you would have to use only the dump folder and edit default and user.hv to add and delete stuff. You cannot use package tool for this method.

You sure can turn OEM and SYS back to ROM, just use the right kitchen (Pandora, Bepe Kitchen, etc)

Hope this helps.

[Micromax Canvas A1] ForcaBarca10:
My phone is a canvas a1 with android m on it ( version 6.0.1 ). I was plagued by lots of the "Google x has stopped working" today it became a nuisance as it popped up every 10 seconds, so according to a guy, I cleared the cache after booting into recovery mode and it took a good 5 minutes. After the wiping, I booted up and i get "starting apps" for some 10 second and then the boot logo. This cycle continues forever. And once I did manage to reach the lock screen but then it wouldn't load Home - "couldn't start home". Can anybody help me out of this mess?

Update : now it's showing "optimising app 46 of 95" but after it finishes, I get an empty screen and only the back and multitask button works and, I get an error when I click home - "couldn't start home".

Please help as, though I have another phone, this is very important to me and lots of my things depend on whether this works or not.

Also, I haven't done a reset yet as I thought it'd be good to ask here first.

So I am trying to flash the nougat CM, but it keeps on failing. My moto x is currently on the 6.0 brazil firmware that was leaked almost a year ago. I flashed that firmware and then flashed US radios. That is where my device currently stands. After failing to flash CM 14 I tried to flash CM 13 so that maybe I could take that path to CM 14. However, that has failed as well. So then I tried to flash official 6.0 from motorola to at least get back onto 1097 firmware. No go. I am literally unable to flash anything. I have flashed the most current version of TWRP via fastboot, but thats about as far as I'm able to get. The bootloader is also unlocked. I would really appreciate somebodies time to help me out with this if they could. Thank you.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zstricky:
I assume you are at least doing the default wipe with twrp (data, dalvick and cache)? You may need to wipe even more though. What exactly is happening when you try to flash the zip with twrp?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim_C30:
And after full wipe (cache, dalvik, data AND system), make a factory reset of your phone. (Wipe->Swipe to Factory Reset)

After all try flashing again and you will have no problems.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremekizzle:
Yes I have wiped. It says "error 7" when trying to flash CM 14 when I tried flashing the stock moto 1097 firmware it said something about signed Android version from Google or something.

I have factory reset a couple times. Still no go.

I think I'll find the thread that had a guide on how to flash the Brazilian firmware that I'm on and see if there's an accompanying guide on reverting back and go from there. Worse case I brick it. Time for a new phone anyway. Lol.
