Honor 8 Nougat Screenshots

We are finally getting a Nougat update on the Honor 8. Right now this firmware is in beta, but I wanted to share some screenshots of how EMUI 5.0 looks at the moment. Check it out.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] emli_:
Are you able to dismiss notifications from the lockscreen like in stock Android? Thanks! :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] XDARoni:
Yes you can. You still cant use quick reply from the lock screen for apps like hangouts, but you can dismiss them which is nice.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] emli_:
Thank you so much for that info, really miss it in EMUI 4.1!! Can't wait to get the update to Sweden :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tntoak:
I'm gonna post some screenshots also for those who have not gotten into the beta group yet.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] tntoak:
Just noticed some new options when connecting the phone to a PC, including reverse charging and use as a MIDI device. Also, my PC now identifies the Phone as an Honor 8 instead of FRD-L04.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chug:
Is there a DPI setting anywhere in the settings menu? I think Nougat was supposed to have this built in... at least stock Nougat does.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] salihss:
So there is no more drag actions from status bar?I mean swipe from right side shows shortcuts swipe from left side shows notifications. Do we still have this feature? Thanks
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] salihss:
Please see the attachment. Do you still have these options
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] montana_uk75:
The Option to swipe down from the right hand side to show notifications, and to swipe down from the left hand side to get to the toggles and settings?

Sadly, this appears to now be missing from the beta...BUT who knows, it may return!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dinoypeter:
there is no need for that as one swipe down leads u to shortcuts and notifications
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] salihss:
This is one of the reason for my wife to choose the honor 8. She doesn't wanna see the half page size of short cuts when she would like to see as many as notifications at the same time.

And they removed the time column from the left side right? This is going to be a downgrade from emui 4.1 to 5.0
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikev190:
Most people prefer the new way. Me included.

Sounds like your wife would be more suited to a iPhone. Or you can just not install emui 5.0.

The only thing I don't like is the notifications being a number, but the rest is nice
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chug:
Yeah the new notification panel is far better
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] salihss:
Yes. I guess she is not going to install the 5.0 for a long time :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chug:
Can someone take a screenshot of one handed mode? Just curious if there's still a background image or if it's just all black behind the shrunken screen
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcpatrick:
Hello All,

I'm desperate that someone can help me. My phone was turned off during a system update this morning. Now it will not move past the Red triangle android guy flashing in error. I've managed to get to Fastboot Flash Mode but Recovery option does not work. I am desperate as i'm an idiot and did not back up 2 years of videos and pics of my 2 year old son, yes from birth to 2 year old, bday parties etc. I'm hoping someone can help me recover. I've tried the power cycles, none worked. I'm open to suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,

Jerry P.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hatterouble:
Okay, so I know how to spoof the Wifi mac address with Busybox

su

busybox ifconfig wlan0 hw ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

I was wondering if you can spoof the Bluetooth Mac Address as well?

Also if anyone knows of a app that can spoof Mac Addresses at bootup so I don't have to manually do so, that would be awesome. I did try "Device Id IMEI Changer Xposed" from the Google Play Store and Xposed Store but had no luck. I do have Xposed installed have have had it working for a while now.

Might be handy to know that I am running Cyanogenmod 12.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] iifuzz:
I downloaded a few different multi touch test apps and noticed specifically when I make a pinch gesture where two fingers are close together, the multi touch freaks out and flashes back and forward between the two fingers... Does any one else experience this?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] iifuzz:
Here is a video

https://goo.gl/photos/ZNZvjPc1NWbL1N1G9

Also it continues to flicker for about half a second after I let go
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] nednednerb:
I don't notice any multitouch weirdness when I pinch zoom..

Do you?

Something about finding a "problem" only in "test mode" sounds like a friend who moves their arm and is saying "it hurts when I do this."

And all you can really think of saying is "well, silly, don't do that then."

Seriously though, do you notice any real world scenario where you pinch zoom and it flies around or something?

Maybe your fingers have an electrostatic bounce!

Just for fun, what test app are you using? I will try to duplicate it at any rate!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] iifuzz:
Yes, when viewing pictures it won't zoom in till I grow my pinch pretty far, or in maps it will occasionally zoom out really far before zooming in.

I'm using multitouch visible test by bit power studios

Thanks
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] andevin:
Hi there. Did you find a solution for this? I'm experiencing pretty much the same on my Google Pixel 2, except that it is like that no matter how far i pinch. It tends to bounce back and forth like that whenever i zoom, and it gets pretty annoying when you do stuff like zooming on pictures on instagram, when you have to hold the fingers there to keep the zoom. Do you think the digitizer is broken? Seems to be a bit jumpy using one finger too (tested with the app Multi Touch Test).
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] wulfiss:
damn, you're on fire hahaha. i'll be waiting for the SGP611 version. :D
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] bogdaniux:
Good work!!! Done it. Works fine until now. Will do more research in the morning. Anyway, there is an issue with Google Play. It says that my device isn't compatible with a lot of apps that I normally use. I flashed multiple variants of 7.1 Gapps. Which one did you use? What about build.prop? Or dpi? No idea. I will get back tomorrow with more feedback. Keep it up!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Schuan:
Really awesome!! Thanks developer!!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lowtraxx:
Please give an example of an app which does not work, so I can test and have a look in the logs. Below solution should fix those problems.

For anyone who wants to fix this without flashing the full fixed version. Please download attached file, enable root for adb and do the following:

adb push tablet_core_hardware.xml /sdcard/
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cp /sdcard/tablet_core_hardware.xml /system/etc/permissions/
chmod 644 /system/etc/tablet_core_hardware.xml
reboot

Your device should reboot then and all the capabilities should be available again.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lowtraxx:
SGP611 Version is up. Everyone who flashed the build for SGP621 please follow the instructions in my last post or flash the 1.0.1 version. Otherwise some apps from the playstore may not download/work.

Could you please try the fix described in the last post and report back if that eliminates your problems?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Batyarap:
Thank you santa for the great surprise :D
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] bogdaniux:
I have just flashed 1.0.1. The matter with Google Play is resolved. Kudos!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] bogdaniux:
I had 3 crashes in 2h, while I was playing Clash of Clans. Always within a minute after waking the tablet from deep sleep. I tried to mimic the situation and get an adb logcat, but it doesn't crash while charging. Because it doesn't sleep. Do you think a logcat installed on the tablet could shed some light? Would that even remain logged after the crash?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lowtraxx:
There should be logcat apps in the playstore, that save the logs so you can review them afterwards. Could you also please try and disable NFC and see if that resolves the crashes? The only crashes I saw till now were all NFC related.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] bogdaniux:
The NFC setting is just blinking on and off continuously. I'll attach a logcat anyway. There are really a lot of NFC related errorshttp://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5835b760cefb3/Log_2016-11-23_16-29-53.txt

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------

I managed to turn it off after reboot. Fingers crossed...
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] NTRNSTR:
You are amazing!

CM is working great only issue I've noticed so far is that live display isn't working but that's not a serious issue.

Keep up the awesome work:victory:

Update: Ignore this part I just found out its a problem in CM and not with this rom-Another minor bug, after disabling control ringtone volume in settings-buttons the volume keys still control the ringer volume when they should be controlling the media volume.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] nicke85:
OMG! I can't beleive that this rom exist for sgp611..Thank you, will try :)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] ux50jp:
This CM14.1's battery life is extremely good compared to AOSP.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] bogdaniux:
I totally agree! Still, the tablet doesn't seem to sleep after charging. And, after disabling NFC, the tablet didn't crash anymore! Very happy about that!
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lowtraxx:
At the moment I am looking into forwardporting an older version of the NFC lib, as it seems to have worked then. After that I will be examining the charging issue. To be clear, this happens if you USB charge while the device is on and once it reaches 100% the wakelock is kept? Do you use a Sony chagrger? Do you charge via USB or via Magnetick Dock/Connector?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] bogdaniux:
It doesn't matter which charger I use, at least, apparently. I have a DK39 Sony dock, supplied by Aukey 3.0 Qualcomm fastcharger. All variants have the same result, even laptop USB charging. I didn't use my Sony charger in a while.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Cyberratchet:
First of all, thank you for your efforts lowtraxx. I still love my Z3 tablet and the splitscreen function is a useful addition to the operating system.

It’s not really an issue with your rom itself, but with Android 7 in general. Google changed the way apps can request access to the external SD card. You could just edit a file in /etc/permission in the past, but that way doesn’t work anymore. I’ve only found a workaround using Xposed, which still hasn’t been ported to Android N.

Is there another way to achieve this? I’d like to keep the SD card as an external one, but I don’t think the ComicRack developer (my main usage for this tablet) will update the app anytime soon.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] noname2no:
How may I contribute to get this rom running on top of the SGP-612 model (wifi 32gb)? By the way, many thanks for porting CM-14.1 to the Z3TC. This tablet is worth maintaining.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] NTRNSTR:
The only difference between the SGP-612 and SGP-611 is the storage so you could try flashing just system and boot without userdata (wipe internal storage and data in recovery first) or even flashing user data and then doing a factory reset if the wrong amount of available storage is shown (that works for nexus factory images) but I'm not sure if that will work.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] belrik:
Thanks for the build, cant say how good it is to see support for this tablet.

Quick question: Possible to upgrade from CM12.1 official nightly? Just have a bunch of apps and users setup...
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] richwright1:
Hi Guys, Silly question here but have been searching for hours and cannot find a surefire solution. Have a Z3c Tablet thats always been stock, wanted to try this so went to unlock bootloader but says 'bootloader unlock allowed: no'. Does this mean that i'm out of luck and cannot use any custom rom etc.? Would have loved to have removed some of the bloat and had a vanilla nougat experience...
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lowtraxx:
I honestly couldn't say. But you can just do a complete backup and try ;)

You are out of luck on the custom ROM front. But you should be able to root and get rid of at least some of the bloat that way.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] belrik:
Have you tried this? http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Andro...k-allowed-No-SONY-solve-it-please/td-p/181271

'Sony has accepted to provide us the way of getting the "Bootloader unlock allowed= YES", we only have to send an email to questions.es<at> support.sonymobile.com'
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] NTRNSTR:
Disclaimer:Check lowtraxx's post below, doing this might brick your device do so at your own risk

If you're able to get it rooted you could try using flashfire to flash twrp and then flash the fastboot images in twrp. In fact you might even be able to flash the fastboot imaged directly in flashify.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lowtraxx:
I could be wrong, but doesn't the locked bootloader check signatures on the boot image. If so, even if the flashing would work, you could end up with a bricked device that refuses to boot. (ReFlashing FTF with fastboot should still be possible in that case though.) But as stated, I am not sure.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] NTRNSTR:
Good catch I didn't think of that, I should update my post to add that.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lowtraxx:
New Version is up (V2 03.12.2016). Now a flashable zip :)

Disclaimer: Please make a backup before flashing this. There were massive changes in CM as well as in the overall structure of my ROM. Updating should work flawlessly, but I can not guarantee it.

Changelog:

03.12.2016 - V2:

- Updated to newest CM14.1 sources

- Switched to flashable zip (can still provide img files if needed)

- Updated to newest Sony kernel and driver sources

- Integrated Widevine DRM for Play Movies

- Lots of fixes and enhancements

- Better battery life

- Lowered user configurable mimimal brightness
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Notumuz:
is this rom rooted if not how works and where can we found working Gapps?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] iamnotkurtcobain:
So flash TWRP (how does that work?), flash rom.zip and gapps.zip in TWRP right?

Is nfc fixed? It drains battery if no configured properly.

Gesendet von meinem SM-G930F mit Tapatalk
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lowtraxx:
Its Cyanogenmod, you can enable root in development settings. And for gapps, use google for "open gapps"

NFC is still temperamental. I have it off for the most part and enable it if needed. But last I tried keeping it on yesterday it had no discernable influence on battery life.

If you already are on my CM you only need to flash the zip in TWRP. It will keep gapps. If you do a frash install, you fasboot flash the recovery, boot into it and sideload first the rom and then gapps.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] thommcn:
My guess is that the NFC bug on the SGP611 is upstream at Sony because every Nougat rom I've tried for the 611 has the same NFC fault.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] sicill:
So there is this persistent issue with sd-card. Upon initial installation it tells you that SD is corrupted. You reformat it from within the system, after which it works great, until you extract it or reboot. After which it says that SD card is corrupted again. With stock there are no problems whatsoever.

Are there any workarounds for this issue?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] Notumuz:
i could succesfully flash the recovery about fastboot,

but after restart there comes no LED purple, i hitting many Volume Up there starts no recovery :(

device is rooted an unlocked bootloader

P.S. can we not flash the Rom zip about the dual recovery?

I never used Adb sideload :(
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lowtraxx:
I have not found one as of now, as I do not have an affected SD Card. All my cards here work fine and are surviving removal and reboots perfectly (trust me, I am rebooting a lot for testing and such). I will ask around and keep a lookout anyways.

Hi, sorry, if I was not clear. I added instructions if you are coming from a ROM which does not support FOTAKernel recovery to the main Post.

If you come from stock or from a ROM that does not support Recovery on the FOTAKernel partition, you also need to fastboot flash the boot image for your device before rebooting into recovery.

fastboot flash boot boot-scorpion.img

Boot image - GDrive - Scorpion (SGP621) boot image

Boot image - GDrive - Scorpion Windy (SGP611) boot image

If you already have a recovery you can of course flash the zip directly from there. I also added that to the main post. Sorry.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] sicill:
Thanks, I'm using SDHC UHS-I type cards, if it's any help.

same here with Sd Card after format it with Tab works

after reboot or copy any data from Mtp (PC) comes

again Sd is corrupt must format again :(

I must go back to stock, i need my Sd card :(
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] michael_hamada:
Yep, AICP for SGP 6xx is the only one N based ROM which can treat SD without issue as far as I know.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] koron393:
I send cheap solution on AICP (and RR) to [MENTION=615507]lowtraxx[/MENTION].

He and xperia devs will fix SDCard corrupt issue:)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lowtraxx:
Talked to the sony devs. They want to merge the patch as long as there is no other working solution. I will add it today and upload fixed boot images later today. Thanks very much [MENTION=5688409]koron393[/MENTION]
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lowtraxx:
Boot images with the sdfix are up. If you want to try. Full update.zip for SGP611/621 are also up. If you have the SD Card corrupted problem and are still on V2 you can just flash the boot.img of your corresponding device and your SD Card should start working automagically ;)
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] sicill:
Yep, everything works great now, thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] thommcn:
I tested V2.1 on my Scorpion Windy (SGP611), no issues except for nfc. Copied files on to external sd card without issue.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] x52-curcuma:
OSMAND, Maps.Me both work on this ROM

Thank you lowtraxx! Now external sd card works properly. Some apps could not access ext sd card on AICP 7.1 now work well too.

Chainfire super SU is not working well but switching to pph superSU solved this as well.

THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for giving us cm14.1 on the Z3 Tablet.

I thought we are stuck with cm12.1 forever as cm13 was never made for it.

Thank you and I'm looking forward to new builds!

Is this only me?

If I unplug the cable off my sgp611 while charging but before the full charge, plug in otg usb stick to copy files, then plug back the charger, it will not charge. If unplug the charger from the AC and plug back, the same thing.

Unless you reboot, it will not charge. Never happened before with any other roms.

I am not sure this is a hardware issue or software yet.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lowtraxx:
It seems there is a Bug in the Sony (or vanilla 3.10) Kernel sources. Once you plug-in an OTG device it seems, it does not recognize any other USB connections afterwards until you reboot. I am analyzing this.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] DannyBiker:

Deleted. Mistake.

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] belrik:
Finally flashed this. Went from cm12.1 and hit an infinite boot so looks like a no-go to upgrade from the last official nightly. Nuked my twrp recovery too, wasn't expecting that. After wiping user data it was ok tho.

Only hitch so far is lack of adaptive brightness, even when set to "night" nothing happens so installed twilight instead.

Thanks to lowtraxx and others.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] lowtraxx:
Did you install TWRP on the FOTAKernel partition? If so, it should not have been overwritten. I guess you used NUTs dual recovery which is installed into the boot partition and gets overwritten on install.

Adaptive brightness works for me. Just tried shining the flashlight on the sensor in a dark room and the display set high brightness as expected.
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Original Android Developm] belrik:
I guess I must have had twrp in the boot partition, although I could have sworn I updated using the latest recovery image from twrp.me which ought to have gone in fota recovery partition... Fixed now anyway.

The brightness was working but not the colour temperature, I dropped the slider to 2700K for night but the night palette still looked as blue as the day one when I selected "night" instead of "automatic". Will try again.
