[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
Thanks for asking :) - it's your time, so I'll respect the decision you make on this which you are most interested in doing.

It seems that you are making good progress on LineageOS, but do recall at least one other person is working on it and ran into a problem with WiFi and camera not working IIRC. You may wish to check with them on that issue.

I will continue to work on trying to get my phone back to B140 stock from B140 rooted using my current backup files - not ready to try the clsA method just yet.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] Luvcex:
Ok hate to sound like like a noon but do I need to have a sd card to hold adb and twrp or can I just save them on the phone. I've rooted phones before but always used one click root methods this is my first time doing it this way. Any help is appreciated
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
You should really get a 128GB microSD card to make your life easier, but a smaller one will work. You will at some point have to wipe internal storage, so you should not think about storing backups there. My TWRP backups are 3GB on the low end to 9GB on the high end. :)
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] bengfords1:
Does anyone know how to boot directly into TWRP instead of stock recovery when pressing Volume Up + Power? Still cannot do that, and am wondering if others can or can't?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
If you followed the instructions in OP, you would have the TWRP as your recovery. Did you flash TWRP initially?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] bengfords1:
I do have TWRP available, but only if I use ADB commands. I followed the instructions as best I could. Maybe I did something wrong?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
What adb commands are you using? Did you unlock your bootloader via Huawei website first?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] bengfords1:
I got it! Just forgot to flash it, apparently. Must have missed that step. Goes right to TWRP now. Thank you. Sorry to clog the thread with a stupid question.

[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] Mike64b:
I don't know what's happening to my XT. I rooted it a week ago, installed xposed, amplify, greenify, removed some bloat, etc and now after a few days it is pretty laggy. And just today after a 100% charge over night, the phone battery died at 4PM with pretty standard usage... This seems crazy to me. Any tips on how to figure out what's causing this?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
Have you tried rebooting the phone? Sometimes that simple act will cure it.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] Mike64b:
Yeah numerous times. It's pitifully bad. One example: when I press snapchat it takes 4-5 seconds for the camera to become unfrozen. Or sometimes pressing the middle button to access the app list, it takes 2 seconds to display the button press.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] clsA:
you could try Ram Truth and see if you have a SWAP / Zram partition if it's 0 try re-enabling it

if it's 700mb try disabling it
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
Did you disable or install something new around the time this started? This sounds like more than something related to swap.

anyone know how to get the phone to connect to virtualbox? i installed the pack or what ever that enabled usb 2 and 3 but cant get it to work on either one unbuntu 16.04

Sorry...

I am very sorry to inform my friends in this post that I have abandoned the Huawei Ascend XT Slim Rom that I was developing, as I have gotten a Galaxy S7 edge for free, I am really sorry guys. I work two jobs and I just didnt have much time to tinker with it anyway. ): Best of luck to you all.

echo in hangouts dialer speaker phone

When I use Hangouts Dialer to make a call in speaker phone mode, both parties hear echo no matter what and no conversation can be established. Doesn't happen in regular mode though. Any idea ?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
Have you tried the same test on another device to confirm this problem is even related to the XT?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] clsA:
I think you'll find the Huawei and Honor phones don't play well with Google Hangouts Dialer at all. I remember issues on both the Honor 5x and Honor H8 and this app. In fact I think even the Nexus 6p had some problems using it.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] troptard:
Hangouts Dialer works very well with the Ascend XT if you do not use the speaker phone mode. It is the speaker phone mode that generates continuous echo. Have not seen this in other phones.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] madvane20:
i had other phones do the same i havent figured out a bypass or simple fix yet. maybe we gotta report to google see if they can release a patch?

if not we can always try to find a work around via app or some kind of config modifications.also btw should i work on twrp or philiz cwm touch?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] jarrettsuydam:
I've always liked cwm touch personally but the TWRP we already have just needs fixing. Whatever interests you I guess
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] RN_ReFlux:
I personally prefer twrp.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] madvane20:
ok i will do my best to fix twrp and also try build us a cwm as well but atm working on lineage
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] powerserge1:
Reposting, great news. Awesome that you found this, Huawei has released the source code. Should be easier to compile a ROM and tweak TWRP now.

In the search box, indeed type Ascend and it comes up from the above link
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] ensol52:
lol i was gonna give the good news too XD. But yeah, finally we have source code

Thanks, but I'm just a messenger trying help this community break through a wall. Kudos to you for actually working on a ROM. I just ran out and grabbed the Ascend XT at Walmart for $74 (lowest price since Black Friday!). Now waiting for unlock code before opening up.

One of the things I've done in my day job of 11 years was develop and maintain Linux device drivers. I haven't touched anything in the Android world. Do you have any suggestions on something simple to start with? Even if it's doing something that's already been done, at least I'd learn the process.

Thanks!

android is really just linux based os so if your are familiar with linux u should catch on quick to android i dont have the links to the sites i been reading up on. im sure someone will post u some links or say look here. to a post where someone listed some sites. u can try search this thread im sure there is some links in it
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
Well this was an important message to deliver and should help us win the war of no working XT custom ROMs so far :) .

I would think starting with TWRP is a good thing to get our feet wet with for learning Android development. Our TWRP doesn't currently backup or restore cust, so that's a definitely important fix we could use.

See

https://twrp.me/faq/howtocompiletwrp.html

and

https://www.xda-developers.com/compile-twrp-for-your-device/

and you want to set up a Linux build environment if you don't have one yet :) .
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] pekcle:
Nice! I don't spend that much time on here so this is a massive shortcut. I was actually considering this project already since TWRP is much smaller than a ROM, the problem is clearly defined, and the fix SHOULD be straightforward. Of course, I have no idea if it's really that easy to fix. I'm just figuratively getting my feet wet on this, so don't wait up.

Thanks again.

Look forward to some development for this phone. Unfortunately I find phone locked down with current software. I notice slow response (2-3 seconds) loading apps at times. Also I notice frequent signal loss on the phone, don't know what is causing this but I have multiple of these phones with same issue, unable to change network mode to see if that fixes the issue.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] Centora:
I share the same interest in development for this device! For the most part I've disabled the bloatware and run 3rd party apps (launcher etc), however I do notice the 2-3 second delay your talking about. I read up on this and found if you don't "protect" an app, it is cleared from memory as soon as the screen turns off to save battery. So an app, lets say FaceBook, is protected... it stays in memory even after the screen turns off. If it isn't protected, anytime you want to load the app, it must first load itself into memory. I didn't ever experience this on my old phone, but that was 4.3, 6.0 Android is completely different. As for the network... I haven't tested this on a mobile network, but using this phone for about two weeks now, the WiFi seems to work better than my old Note II.

I've contacted tech support in the HUAWEI Texas division. Spoke with tech about getting HUAWEI to post source code. He will email corporate office about the ongoing requests. Model number for our phone is HUAWEI Ascend XT -Texas-A1(H1611) hence handle and developed in part state side in Texas.

Hope progress is made.

Before getting this phone, I didn't realize how dependant I was with having root. So it would be a wonderful Christmas present they release source code. :D
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] jarrettsuydam:
It would be a great Christmas present. I'd love to have vanilla Android on this thing! No bloat. SD app support and root of course.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] sonofdan:
Thanks for the reply will have to try this out. As for the network issues I've been experiencing, I have tried a network monitoring program and in the first 24hrs I left wifi on had about 22 minutes of signal loss. Turned off wifi for 24hrs and no signal loss. With wifi on mainly connected to hspa network, with WiFi off pretty much always on LTE network. By the way I use this phone on Telus network in Canada.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] Centora:
I use this solely via WiFi currently. So there may or may not be conectivity issues, but for me personally I haven't noticed WiFi dropping connection while in-use. The Note II would disconnect and reconnect on a daily basis.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] sonofdan:
I should correct myself. It is not the WiFi that I have ran into trouble, it is the connection I have to my carrier when WiFi is on compared to off.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] Centora:
Perhaps WiFi might lose signal and than WiFi reconnects. However, WiFi needs to reauthorize due to this loss, which takes roughly 2-3 seconds. This slight delay is your issue.

You would think having both a mobile and WiFi connection you should never experience delay, but this isn't how these devices generally work. The software itself, especially since this device is carrier branded, wants to use WiFi over mobile networks to save your available data. Data is expensive also, so the less you use, the better off the company is. So when the phone detects a WiFi presence, it wants to use it.

Keep us posted. In the past two weeks supposedly people are having issues unlocking their phones. Unrecognized IMEI or something along those lines...To be safe you can get a code on Ebay for $1 or $2. You should have your code by now, usually it's 2 business days. Maybe don't take a chance. They have charged $50 to unlock a phone in the past, hope they don't stop with the free unlocks

Glad you saved some $.
