1. you cannot use windows 10 if you are looking to use source code to develop android without using a virtual machine with one of the many latest linux flavors available. It's personally better to just use one of the latest ubuntu LTS versions via installing to your pc. Build times are extremely faster. you may however use a kitchen... kinda like this one

https://xdaforums.com/chef-central/android/tool-universal-tool-t3519911

or it for that matter to modify certain things and make customizations to what has already been built from source codes. So...

2. Basically and Thankfully the noted members in OP already got to it before me (had a co-worker pass last week) but the TWRP-recovery was pretty much ported to my understanding. If it were built from source than theres a better chance of custom roms built from source coming soon. If I am incorrect please someone enlighten the threads readers. If I am, then using a kitchen is your best method of cooking something on win10. and there isn't much source to share unfortunately.

3. I didn't personally to share my paths but if I would say start googling xda for guides that are recent, there's a ton of info on here to match your personal preferences as to what you wish to develop.

4. I work 12 hour days and rarely get to reply in a timely fashion but if anything PM me and give it approx. 36 for I respond less the weekends

Awesome teamwork, Everyone!!

I was aiming for twrp to be completed by tonight and you guys beat me to it. I'm mourning right now so it was a relief to know I could just flash and fall back. Any of you need a hand or get stuck with anything pm me with the specifics. Tomorrow and Tuesday I will not be at work until the afternoon so there's a better response time.

Thanks Everyone!!

systemless root
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
Thanks!

xx_iamxanderman_xx was thought theirs is not systemless.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] 9000RPM:
Thank you guys. So I followed all the steps and got SuperSU on it. After I installed CCleaner and went to system info, the root status is listed as "no." Also, the SuperSU grant permission dialog box never popped up for CCleaner. Greenify seems to work fine but I did notice that when I try to uninstall system apps in ccleaner, they all failed to uninstall.

Is this a limitation of systemless root?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
That does not sound correct. Do you have SuperSU in your app drawer?

If you bring up an adb shell and type "which su", what happens? Also, if you type "su" from adb and watch the phone, you should get a SuperSU prompt.

Find my Root Checker post from today with link and install and run it to see if it detects root.

How I Installed Rootless Xposed using Magisk

Make a full TWRP backup first.

I used [UNOFFICIAL][Magisk][Nov 28] Xposed v87.0 - Universal Systemless Compatibility

https://xdaforums.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268

to install Systemless Xposed on my XT.

Remember to make a backup, and the phone will be sitting at the AT&T logo for about 30 minutes after you start the

Xposed Framework installation from Magisk. (xx_iamxanderman_xx, thanks for posting about the 30 minutes :) )

Remember, make a full TWRP backup first. It's cheap insurance :)
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] xx_iamxanderman_xx:
Sorry, I just realized that my root is systemless. Don't know why I thought otherwise.

Also, just a quick update on my ROM development, Candy repositories will not download to my computer, it fails after it downloads about seven gigabytes of data. I will, hopefully, be doing Cosmic OS, which is similar to Candy and uses Android seven. If this download fails and keeps failing, I am not going to post about it. Any future posts will be releases and help for those who ask for it.

Also, I saw someone on here wanting Paranoid Android, I looked into porting Paranoid Android, but that is a KitKat based ROM and I would prefer something current.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
Can you post a link/information on where you were trying to download the CandySix repositories from. I may give it a try and see if I have better luck.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] powerserge1:
Now that some things are in the works for the Ascend XT wonder if this phone can have it's own forum?

As in a general/questions section, development, accessories and theme/mods section? This would be nice instead of everything crammed into one thread.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
Good idea, but to start with we could create multiple threads right in this Huawei Ascend XT section we already have:

https://xdaforums.com/t/huawei-ascend-xt

This thread is under that, along with a few others, but I don't think people know about the section I reference it's not so apparent from

xda-developers - Android Development and Hacking - Android General - Huawei Ascend XT H1611

at the top of my screen.

You want to contact a moderator and find out about all this?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] 9000RPM:
Yes SuperSu is in my app drawer. I download Root Checker and when I granted permission, it verified that my phone is rooted.

But the grant permission dialog box never pops up for CCleaner. I know it should because my tablet is rooted and I am able to uninstall system apps in CCleaner.

Also for XPosed, I didn't use Magisk, I downloaded the ARM64 version from the "official" tab. Also took about 30 minutes at the AT&T globe screen.

I was attempting to download the git repository from GitHub.

Here is a link to that: Click Here

The commands I ran were:

repo init -u git://github.com/CandyRoms/candy.git -b c7.1

repo sync -j8

Okay, sorry for my mistake. After I port Cosmic OS, I will attempt to port Paranoid Android v6.0.1 for you.

No, I wasn't asking for ya too, I'm going to try to learn and do it myself. I work nights and have a good bit of down time overnight, so I've been starting to do some treading.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
The partition shown is correct, but you need to give Magisk storage permission. Why are you installing it if you already have Xposed working?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
"Airplane mode" in status bar

Got rid of "Airplane mode" text wasting space in status bar using Xposed module Flat Style Bar Indicators.

It lets you customize a lot of things on the status bar including position and format. :)

We have this on our phone.

Try

repo sync -f -j8

I normally use a similar command but that should stop it from quiting on you if you have enough cores to support it as well as good INTERNET connection. Goes smoother with Browsers and stuff closed.

I use cricket so it may error itself server side.. still less bloat more hope!

It's annoying. Battery charging notifications, correct? If you plug it in it says device is charging-- unplug it says device was taken off charger at lets say 89 percent... would help if had more details in my O but definitely an extra obtruding reason to click my phone for no reason.

I did check your updated post and updated mine, lol. Only remote app on my device should be one I choose to use for side work on the go. AT&T has a thing about having less workers so instead of you calling, someone else can just tap into your phone and get paid less than call center workers by the job instead of the hour.

[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] 9000RPM:
Here to is when I plug in a USB cable.

And when I unplug.

Magisk is not installing. It would say installing but the progress circle would just spin. And when I tap anywhere, the install status box would disappear.

[MENTION=2249922]justlovejoy[/MENTION]. Yes. The LED indicator light already lights up when im charging. I don't need another diaglox box. Haha.

I can't seem to boot into recovery with vol +/- and power button. It keeps going to fastboot and from there I need to send adb commands to get into TWRP.

Also, is there a way to disable the untrusted unlocked bootloader message at startup? Adds delay to the boot time. Thanks.

What exact button sequence are you using to try and get into recovery and ending up in fastboot? Please specify when to release the button(s) too.

No way I know of to get rid of that bootloader message ..... it is annoying :) .

How to enable hotspot. Use your favorite app manager program and uninstall or freeze the app that says com.huawei.entitle. You can use the Debloater app also. It's listed as ATTEntitle. Uninstall or disabled this app and teathering works.

Well, I restored from the rooted backup in TWRP and now the battery charging dialog box no longer pops up when I connect/disconnect the USB cable. Not really sure what caused it but at the time, I had Xposed installed with Greenify, MinMinGuard, Youtube Adaway active.

I find most of the problems with Xposed framework. I stay clear. I just removed everything that Huawei put on the phone except for the settings framework. Not possible without a boot loop. I flashed OpenGapps ARM64 6.0 Super. Now I have stock dialer, clock and so on. Use ROM Toolbox, also you need to set system to R/W, and set SElinux to permissive. Tethering enabled! Look Real Pixel Launcher via OpenGapps.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] 9000RPM:
Okay so I figured out it was Simple Controls by coolAce that was causing the battery connect and disconnect dialog box. I've uninstalled it and installed PieControl instead.

I don't like the soft keys on the bottom as it takes up screen space so I added "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" to the build.prop file

I also left off XPosed for now as it was causing random app crashes. It would crash the Phone dailer and even the settings app.

Update: it's actually enabling accessibility to Smart Control and Pie Control that makes the USB connect and disconnect message to pop up.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] scalhoun:
That worked perfect. thank ya!
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] shawnchalfant:
"qemu.hw.mainkeys=1"

[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] jarrettsuydam:
i found that if you set the dpi to 280 that everything looks much nicer and not so blown up, give it a try for amazing results.

"adb shell wm density 280 && adb reboot"

the default is 320 in case you want to go back.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] shawnchalfant:
Yeah I did that the other day, I just did not care for the size of the apps on the recents menu, they appear to small for my likeing. I just edit build.prop via ROM Toolbox Pro editor.

Well I did it for giggles again, Sticking with 280, I got my 5 icon dock. That's the deal maker for me. Thanks?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] sweetboy02125:
So where all the soft keys go if not at the bottom? How can I "go back"??
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] jarrettsuydam:
I figure this is easier than bloating up the thread. I have set selinix to permissive and system is RW but not a single app will do more than disable system apps. Now I have been able to run myself of a couple things but I want the rest gone so I can just use Gapps like you did because I honestly prefer stock Android apps because they get updated regularly and I can change them out if I don't like them. Thanks in advance.

I would appreciate some clarifications about the following steps in flashing TWRP and rooting.

Would step 3 here be too late at this stage because the step of unlocking bootloader has already wiped all the personal files? In other words, should the backup have been performed before unlocking bootloader (i.e., step 3 should be better done as step 0)?

I'm confused about step 6d) here: Is there a button on the TWRP interface with which you select for rebooting bootloader?

Also, is TWRP.img in step 6e) basically the renamed file xtrecovery.img downloaded from here?

Is the adb command referred to here the following?

adb boot recovery

Thanks!

Yes save all your data before unlocking the bootloader and yes you can do either to reboot back to recovery. Someone please clarify the steps in the OP
