Happy New Year, everybody!

[MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION], thank you for another fine installment of your ROM! Very grateful for all the work you put into this!

A quick question about HiVoice - this thing pops up every time I hit the Vol- button with the screen off (which apparently happens quite often when the phone is in my pocket), asking for various permissions. I don't use voice dialling at all - is there a way to disable/uninstall it? I have QuickCalling disabled in the Dialler, but it still pops up all the time!

And a small aesthetic thing: I really prefer the new constellations startup/shutdown animation in the new ROM, but I also kinda liked the runic logo shutdown animation from the previous version. Anyone know how I can replace the red Huawei splash at the very beginning with the runic logo? I am guess it just requires copying the animated image file in the correct location, but I've got neither the file nor the location.

Cheers!
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Hello :)

The HiVoice is a part of the Voice Control in Settings/ Intelligent support.

If you don't need this I can tell you how to uninstall.

But if you don't mind, if it is already a part of the Rom, just allow one time all asked permission and it never pop up anymore.

The boot and shutdown animation from the previous Gratitude I can upload tomorrow evening and tell you then how to replace the current one.

Have a nice evening, I come back tomorrow. :)

Thanks for liking my Rom!
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] nikkiscores:
I have Voice Control disabled there, everything is switched to Off.

I realize that practically it doesn't make any difference, but getting rid of it just feels cleaner to me.

Awesome, thank you! I just want the runic one, made from your avatar, it's very cool. :)
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Hello [MENTION=7628871]nikkiscores[/MENTION] - here you go:

Download the attached zip file in this post - "deleteVoiceControl.zip" and flash it with TWRP - it deletes the HiVoice App and the Voice control in Settings, Smart Assistance

The Runes-Shutdown-Animation.zip you can download from: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120696822 - also just flash it with TWRP

(no need for both to wipe Dalvik and Cache)

I wish you a Happy New Year! :)
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
The same for you :) Cheers :)

hi,

Long time ago i have flash new rom so i haave few questions please. :)

My phone is on fRomFuture - Gratitude V3 (the first one) , i'd like to upgrade to Tecalote Gratitude v5.

I know i need to update TWRP with KangV-HRT-TWRP-3.0.2.0, it will be done soon after that could i flash V5 directly above V3 ? or not?

thanks.
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Hello :) You can flash Gratitude 5 over 3.x. I would recommend a clean flash (full wipe - Advanced Wipe of data, dalvik, cache and system) In this case make a Backup of your Apps with Data. If you restore the Backup after flashing the Rom, don't restore System Apps from previous system (like WLan Settings...) But all User Apps and converted User Apps to System Apps (like WhatsApp) you can restore.

You can also flash dirty, in this case wipe Dalvik and Cache before Reboot.

System will be wiped during flashing the Rom.

Welcome to Gratitude 5 :)
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Hello all Users of Gratitude :)

In some month I can present you in cooperation with KangV a new Version of Gratitude.

First time it will be a Rom based on the European Firmware b390, cause it is a good one and optimal fixed in stagefright issues. :)

I let you know...

Do you mean maybe b370? And why do you think so?
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] roniex82:
Sorry, im a spanish guy, i mean the B317 on MM, the better performance for battery life

Enviado desde mi HUAWEI GRA-L09 mediante Tapatalk
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
It does not make difference, because here you get a Custom Rom - the Battery Life is much more better than in Stock Roms, no matter which version :)

I've flash v5 over v3, flash dirty (baaadd i know:D ) and all is fine, thank for your job and your help ;)

Just to know, the "Fixes " obligatory on v5 and no ?

thank.
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Yes, please install also the Fix for v5 (flashing with TWRP - no wipe of Dalvik and Cache)
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] revery0:
Hi,

I just flashed the fixes zip and the swype keyboard and the hivoicedelete and it seems like i lost my root.

I am using the magisk version.

EDIT

Actually i still have the root but AdAway cannot start and reports that:

Rooted Android required.... blah blah blah.

I had Adaway enabled and running. I cannot uninstall it because its a system app.

Any ideas?

EDIT 2

I managed to uninstall adaway with a 3d party program. Reboot. Reinstall. Problem remains

Also checked on magisk and i have systemless hosts enabled.

EDIT3

Version 3.2 was needed. So everything works now.

I am leaving the post here in case anyone runs into the same problem.
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Cocoxxx:
My installation gets stuck on "Formatting System" .. any advice?
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Maybe the Download of the Rom is faulty. Did you check the md5? If not, please check.

From which Rom or Firmware did you start? Are you using the TWRP which is linked in OP?

Did you make a wipe before installing?

We never had this issue before, that's why I ask you.

I would restart TWRP with Hardware Keys and make advanced wipe of Dalvik, Cache, data and system before flashing the Rom. (Hopefully you have a backup of your data or a Nandroid Backup of the previous System).

If md5 of the Rom is right, flash it again.
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Cocoxxx:
Indeed, the md5 was incorrect. Downloading the Rom again fixed the problem. Thanks Tecalote

Hello,

I have a unlocked Huawei P8 GRA-L09 B390, and i would like to install the custom rom Gratitude by Tecalote, and I have some question :

- Should I install the custom rom, or should I wait an update (because the custom rom is based on firmware b366, and that would be a 'downgrade')

- If the custom rom based on B390 will be out, is that easy to update it. Can I do it immediately or should I unroot first then update ?

- I'm a player of Pokemon Go, can I still play it with the Magisk Edition ?

- What's the main difference between simple root my P8 and install the custom rom ?

Thanks in advance.
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Hi :) The b366 is not a Downgrade, cause China Rom uses a different count system in versions numbers. But the Security is better in b390 and b391 (Stagefright).

You can wait for an update.

But if you like playing Pokémon Go - this Rom this time is not able to bypass safetynet. Also not the Magisk Edition and not the one without Root...

Several Developers are working to solve the problem with Root and Android Pay, Pokémon Go, Banking Apps. But at the moment it is very difficult even on Stock Roms (with Root, Xposed Framework...) to bypass safetynet.

Best thing :Two Phones - one, with Custom Rom and one with unmodified Stock Firmware and closed Bootloader...

Its a Cat and Mouse Game. Safetynet gets always Updates to check whether a Phone is modified or not..
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Ncmt:
Thanks for the answer, that's a little sad for pokemon go.

Is there not a way to play to pokemon go, with rootswitch ? I'm not playing pokemon go a lot now, so it doesn't really bother me if I sometimes disable the root.
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Sorry, this time it is not possible. It is not only cause of Root.

There is a VIP-version of the K-Settings available - it has more settings, even a hide root option which works like a charm.

But also with hidden root it is not possible in this Rom to play PoGo, cause this app checks if the safetynet is in green state.

And it isn't. I checked it with the App Cigital Safetynet Playground...

I am thinking about a Dualboot System for the future. In one partition a unmodified Stock Firmware for Apps, which requires safetynet.

And in second partition the Custom Rom for daily use.

[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Try to change it with using another theme. In the new Rom, which comes probably in two weeks this issue should be solved.

Hi :) This is not a Link for download directly with a Download Manager. In my Chrome Browser on my P8 I can open the URL and arrive Android Filehost. On this page I can use the Download Button. 169 Downloads - so it should work.

But anyway I would recommend to wait for the new Rom - I make also a Magisk Edition, but with Magisk 11.1.

The one from OP doesn't bypass safetynet.

Hopefully the new Edition.

I'm also looking Forward to the new Version.. hopefully it'll be ready soon since some magisk/SU/whatever Update recently broke my Root+xposed functunality :/

Dont want to Make pressure, since i even got no time to reinstall a rom (internal memory full..) Cause of my Finals at the Moment neither for Debugging the Problem that caused the loss of root. So mid march would be great :angel: :laugh:

I am working with much enthusiasm on the b391 Rom. K-Settings are already integrated and working - and now I have got also the Callrecorder to work!

The b391 with Cust432 is a hard nut, but I will open it to a full working Rom.

Push Notifications are working now (example WhatsApp) whitout converting them to System App - just install and be happy :) But anyway it is a lot of more work to do...

Can you tell as how you fix push-notifications because im convert Viber into system app but dont work...i dont get any notifications before i open the app...or we need to wait next release
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Yes, please wait for the release, which comes during next week, Notification will work then.

But for now:

1) Go inside the settings of Viber to Chat-Backup and make a Google Drive Backup of your History. After close the app (also in the background)

2) with any Root Explorer go to /data/app and delete the folder "com.viper.voip-1 (or-2)

3) With Appmanager uninstall Viber (if present)

4) with Root Explorer go to /system/priv-app and delete the folder Viber or com.viper.voip or Viber apk (if present)

5) Reboot your Phone.

6) Install Viber from Playstore.

7) Don't open the app!!

8)The converting to system app must be done with Link2SD, not with TitaniumBackup or other apps. Open Link2SD, search for the Viber entry, long klick on Viber: Convert to system app.

9)After converting a restart of the phone is required.

10) Open settings, more (after datamanager), Mobile Network - mobile data "always on" .

11) Open Developer Options Mobile data "always on" .

12) Open Wlan settings, go to the menu right down, use Advanced Settings and set "WLan on in sleeping mode"

13) Open Viber and make the authentication.

15) Viber search and find your Google Drive Backup - restore it

16) If you use Viber on PC, update it to newest version and open it.

17) If Viber on PC show you a QR Code open Viber on Phone and scan this code

Now Push Notifications should working. I use even Viber on my phone and it works as it should :)
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] NandorHUN:
Dear OP!

I have a question about the rom development: is it possible to make the new ROM like that PowerAMP skins (skin apps) would work on it as well? Unfortunately ever since Android 6.0 come out, on most Huawei devices PowerAmp skins from PlayStore does not work. I know it is a bit complicated and doesn't seems like much of an issue to look into the problem -- but I think PowerAmp is still the most popular music player on android - - and I have no idea what caused the issue, since the apps work just fine on any other device that run Android 6.0 except Huawei phones and I wasn't able to find any solution for this.
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Hi :) You're right - Skins for Poweramp doesn't working since MM on most Huawei Phones. It is difficult to find out why. The Developer of Poweramp says, its only an EMUI Issue. But I say it is both.

I think Beta Tester of new Huawei Firmware may not reported this to Huawei - and the Developer of Poweramp didn't make his App more compatible for Skins in relation to the Huawei Themes Engine. And the Developers of the Skins also not.

There's another player reported on: http://forums.androidcentral.com/general-news-discussion/412990-finally-found-better-player-than-poweramp.html

This Player: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrtstudio.AnotherMusicPlayer&hl=en

uses his own skins - if Poweramp has own skins, they would work (but not 3 Party ones yet).

Maybe its an security or permission issue.

I can't solve this yet but I keep it in mind.
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
A wonderful day all together :)

The New Rom is ready. It comes in two Edition - the Classic and the Magisk.

It is based on the European Firmware b391, but it should work on all models. Cause I configured a "Master" Cust. Primary Cust C432, but secondary also C00.

Push Notifications are working without converting Apps to System Apps.

More Details and Download Links in the new Thread, which I make in the later evening.

Please wait for detailed instructions.

The Rom becomes the new name: ARROW - cause it is a Teamwork by me and KangV.

Have a great day :cowboy:
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] lespaul79:

[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ChavezD:
Wow thank you!

And by the way, geat Timing: i just wrote my exam and since yesterday my Apps wont Update(Not enough free memory)

Looking Forward to flash it as soon as it's online :)

Edit: i think it'll be written in the new thread, but is there something Special to Look after while already on Magisk?
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Yes, there are some special things - wait for the Thread :)

If your internal memory is full - you better look at it, what you need (example WhatsApp folder, perhaps Screenshots, Pictures etc) and back it up to another place. After go to TWRP and make Advanced Wipe of your internal memory.

After copy the needed files back to the memory (like WhatsApp folder) before you going to flash the Rom.

If you do this, restart TWRP and make the settings new (they get lost with wipe of internal memory. (allow modification, set up time zone, language...) This cannot be done immediately before flashing the Rom whithot reboot of TWRP.

The Rom itself wipes only System!

If you want to make a clean install, backup all your Apps with data...

Otherwise you can flash dirty (but clean internal memory before)

And for Magisk Edition you should flash Magisk Uninstaller before flashing the Rom.

Hopefully I can congratulate you to your exam :) See you

The new version of Viper does not work with Dolby .irs files (which I think the best) unfortunately , so if someone want to use it: have to delete it, download and install the prevous version and make it a system app./

3) Go to Lockscreen and desktop settings "Lunar calender + desktop wheather lunar" - deselect."

I have released a New Rom yesterday, which one you are using currently?

Internal storage vs SD for apps

Hi,

Not sure this is a ROM issue or something else, but thought I'd ask here first...

Whenever I install apps from the Play Store, they are installed in the main memory by default. I haven't found any options to have them installed on SD. If I go under Settings/Apps/ParticularApp/Storage, I can then move them to External Storage. But when the app gets updated via Play Store, it once again ends up in internal storage, and I have to manually move each app I want on SD after each update. Naturally, this is a giant pain.

Does anyone know why this happens and how to prevent it?

I don't want to format my SD card as internal. I have a ton of apps, and I simply don't have the room for them all internally, so I put the important/daily/resource-heavy stuff on the phone, and the rest on the SD card.

I am so sick of having to play ping pong with the Play Store, I really hope you guys have a solution for me.

Would upgrading to Arrow fix this? I haven't yet found a compelling reason to upgrade, but this may do it!

TIA!

-Nikki
