[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divhandyman:
This question has probably already been asked, but her goes anyway. When the bootloader has been unlocked and rooted, is there supposed to be a bootloader warning every time it boots up, or is there way to stop that from popping up? Everything is working great just a little annoying every time it boots up.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] Tmobilefan906:
yes...unfortunately. lol

does your twrp recognize your micro sd? i have a 64 gb one in.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divhandyman:
Yes my sd card is recognized no issue on that. I just flashed Bare Naked, seems to be working good:good:
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
Phone works for sure with even 128GB microSD and TWRP should automatically mount the external SD. Do you get an error in TWRP? Did you pick external storage in TWRP?

Yes. I picked all the available settings to mount SD. It was a 64 GB card. I took it out and put in a 8 GB card, and TWRP recognized it fine. Odd!

Phone caller id settings/call wait settings

If I go to Phone app - menu (three dots) - Settings - Additional settings, the Caller ID and Call waiting options are greyed out on my XT. Anyone have these not greyed out? Can a couple of you confirm even if greyed out.

I have an active TracFone BYOP AT&T SIM in my XT BTW. If not greyed out for you, please specify your carrier. Thanks :) .

Dual SIM?

Thank you for the great work on this phone [MENTION=2895182]clsA[/MENTION]. DroidChart seems to indicate that this phone is dual SIM capable (droidchart.com/en/huawei/huawei-ascend-xt-h1611-2024). Do you know if we can use dual SIMs with the AT&T version after unlock, root and custom ROMs?

Thank you!
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] madvane20:
the phone only has one simcard slot and a sdcard slot
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] blue_streak_80:
Thank you for the quick reply, [MENTION=7934375]madvane20[/MENTION]. The reason for asking was that sometimes the micorSD card slot can be used as a slot for a nano SIM. In these cases you can either use the secondary SIM or the microSD card. Just making sure if that was possible with this phone.

I thought those only lit up when those services are available for your carrier.....?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
AT&T regular service = what I'm calling AT&T postpaid service. Do you have regular AT&T service and are those options grayed out for your XT?

I have 128GB cards :) and they work fine.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] RN_ReFlux:
I have regular AT&T service, and both of those buttons are active on my phone.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
Thanks :) . I guess it's a premium feature I don't get with my prepaid service. Did you get your incoming calls resolved?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] RN_ReFlux:
Nope, got tired of messing with it and gave up. Dunno what the deal was. Could not get calls on any of his roms, barenekkid, clean rom, stock rooted or the unrooted bare rom
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] clsA:
must have been APN settings they all work fine for everyone else

Did you ever restore the Full /cust directory before flashing ?

some of the roms overwrite it while others do not
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
APN settings have nada, zero, zilch effect on incoming calls. They only affect MMS and mobile data - period! :)
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] clsA:
so whats your guess on why his phone won't ring ? and mine and everyone else here works fine ?

I'm pretty sure in 3 months time more than one person would have reported the problem, don't you ?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
No clue at the moment :) . B160 has not been out for 3 months. Does OP's incoming call precede B160? OP will have to answer this.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] clsA:
Shouldn't matter how long B160 has been out, the basics of the roms have not changed

Bare Naked and Stripped Stock include

cust

system

and boot.img

CleanRom includes

cust

data

system and boot.img

All 3 roms include the same debloated /cust which only has these removed

AmazonKindle

ATTFamilyMap

ATTHotspots

ATTLocker

ATTSmartlimits

ATTSmartWIFI

ATTVisualVoiceMail

DirectTV

Huawei_Swipe

MyATT

Uber

YPMobile

and a renamed or replaced bootanimation.zip

This has not changed in the 3 months i have been making the Roms

He says the phone works fine with Stock B160

He then flashed CleanRom.V2.B160 and the calls stopped working

I have flashed every combination or stock b160 and all the above roms and have never had calls fail

sending and receiving calls and TXT is part of the normal testing process before the Roms are ever uploaded

So basically the only thing that's different is the /data in CleanRom V2 it would be simple to format data and see if the calls worked or not

which should have been done between flashes of cleanrom / and bare naked or Stripped Stock

It's tough for me to trouble shoot and fix what works fine for me and everyone else

Here's some shots of the phone receiving calls

Nurse, you got any more symptoms/clues for Dr clsA and I to chew on/look at:) .

What is the state of your phone/patient re: ROM and incoming calls? :) Did this problem start with clsA B160 ROM or before?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] madvane20:
does ur imei show in settings [MENTION=3248490]RN_ReFlux[/MENTION] also does under settings status show ur phone number in service etc?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
Everyone should save their WiFi MAC, Bluetooth MAC, and IMEI number before flashing ROMs, just incase. I've seen some strange shi* after flashing custom ROMs that nobody could explain with my Huawei Ascend Mate 2 - the WiFi MAC address changed and nobody could ever explain to me why that was happening :) . MACs should not change and are supposed to be unique between all devices.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] madvane20:
its how they have it setup although files are on oem etc partitions for some reason huawei likes to extract the info to data folder its how i found the fix for it changing peoples imei so clsa could release the rom. with his customization. and yes like devine said do that to be safe
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
That would be another good reason to use TWRP to backup your data partition, then restore it after flashing a ROM in case weird shix is happening after you flash a new ROM or you just want to restore you apps, etc.

[MENTION=3248490]RN_ReFlux[/MENTION] - if you have a TWRP data backup, maybe try restoring it to see if your incoming calls ringing starts working based on what [MENTION=7934375]madvane20[/MENTION] posted.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] RN_ReFlux:
Never tried any of the other roms before this attempt. I'll double check my imei number when that rom is flashed.

Don't know why this would affect only me an no one else though. That's what is confounding!
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
Yeah, good point.. Why this phone. You can debloat anything any other XT ROM does if your phone is rooted. If you have a data partition backup, try restoring it to see if that fixes the no incoming calls problem.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] madvane20:
u could try a full stock rom see if it works then we can go from there u can also install teamviewer on the phone to allow someone if u trust them to connect to ur phone and have a look at settings etc if u want me to try help just send me a pm
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] clsA:
Redownload the file and do an md5 check before you flash it again
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] RN_ReFlux:
Tried flashing data backup after flashing, still no calls. I haven't re-download the file yet, but my copy has the correct md5. Being that it is multiple roms, I can't believe that it is the zip itself.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] CyberManiaK:
hey guys does your XT also have horrible memory management and occasional slowdowns ? I'm on B130 rooted, and debloated. But I can't have let's say Walmart app, Amazon app, Calculator, Chrome only 1 tab and youtube loaded on memory because when I change between them they always reload !

On a side note I have been testing a LG Stylo for Metro PCS (MS631) 16gb/2gb ram with snapdragon 410 on Android 5.1.1 and this phone can hold better the ram and is snappier. How can that be possible?

Thanks.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] madvane20:
u really should do [MENTION=2895182]clsA[/MENTION] full rom updates to b160. then flash one of his clean or what ever roms. i have a zte warp 7 that has the 410 and it also seems faster than the xt but its cause their crappy rom. i looked at logs for stock rom and it was throwing all kinds of errors.= so that will explain alot of our problems. but yea go here https://xdaforums.com/android/development/-t3555254if u need help just ask me or clsa we here to help
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] CyberManiaK:
Thanks. on B160 have you notice improved performance ?

to be honest I don't know if the problems I'm facing, are because I have xposed installed.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] madvane20:
i dunno bout xposed but if u use clsa clean rom or striped etc it runs alot better. i got my own debloated rom but its not uploaded i removed alot more from mine then he did. but yes b160 runs alot better as long as ur not full stock xd
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] Paisley Pirate:
I'd suspect something else. Have you tried a different sim card? My BBRY Z10 did that a long time ago. New Sim cured it. And no, it never said that the sim was bad. Just no calls.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] madvane20:
yea but didnt he say everything worked till he flashed roms etc?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
What problems do you speak of? I have Xposed installed on my XT.

---------- Post added at 12:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

You could try disabling Xposed as described in https://xdaforums.com/xposed/xposed-safemode-disable-xposed-easily-t3230336 and see how your phone performs after that.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] CyberManiaK:
I'm on "stock" rom but B130 I have debloated the rom also. On B160 are you able to multitask, if so, with how many apps you start to see the reload?

Not a problem in particular related to xposed, but I have seen that my XT has worse performance than a LG Stylo which it has a Snapdragon 410 and the same 2gb of ram. So I was thinking if Xposed/Magisk could be doing something, because as you know xposed is not fully compatible with the XT. (I also have been experimenting also the FC on settings sometimes)
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
You could try disabling Xposed ..... see my updated last post.

Actually, this way is easier ...........

Go into Magisk Manager app - Modules - and uncheck Xposed Framework, then reboot your phone and Xposed should be disabled.

So give that a try and see if things improve. You can re-enable Xposed Framework by checking that box and rebooting :) .
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] Paisley Pirate:
He did, but after whichever one, after that none have worked... which means that it may well not be related to the flashing roms, but something else.

It was just a thought to eliminate one other piece that could cause it and narrow it back to a software issue.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
Testing the SIM in another phone would also prove if it's the SIM or not :) .
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] madvane20:
im gonna have to say might have to readd the right apn settings for his carrier had to do it on my nephews phone on gophone service although its a gophone i still had to add the apn to make it all work. but like i said im here for remote assistance if needed that way i can look check stuff etc
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] RN_ReFlux:
Not exactly, the only roms that I cannot receive calls on are the ones that clsa posted. If I restore me backup of stock rooted I can receive calls. If I go back and flash the full b160 update in twrp I can receive calls.

Going to try flashing the rr later after I wake up and see if I can get incoming calls there.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
APNs only affect MMS and mobile data functions - not phone calling function.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] clsA:
lol well considering their are only four custom roms for this phone total and i made 3 of them it only stands to reason

whats important is the order in which it occurred..

I highly recommend you redownload all the files

many of them have changed and been re uploaded many times

Start with B160_Full_Update.v2.zip

followed by one of the roms that doesn't flash Data like Stripped Stock

this would help pinpoint if the problem is in the cust directory or not

you say restoring you backup fixed it but not what was restored so that's no real help

anyway it seems to be isolated to just your phone and I'm not going to pull all the roms because of it

If you would like more help I'm always available
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] RN_ReFlux:
Certainly not asking you to pull your roms, nor am I blaming you for anything. My backup is restoring data, system, and boot. Will try redownloading.

Update : restored the resurrection backup without working WiFi and was able to receive incoming calls. That backup only has system and boot partitions. I've downloaded the files again for the full update, barenekkid, and the stripped unrooted. Will try those again after I'm done putting together my kids dresser.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] clsA:
Thank you and good luck
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
So restoring the boot and system partitions broke WiFi, but fixed incoming calls. Interesting.

I wonder what would happen if you went back to the previous boot and system versions. I would suspect the boot partition is not involved with the incoming call issue, so would restore system only to see if that breaks incoming calls.

Staying tuned for the rest of the story. :)

[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
No. I just run B160 rooted, debloated, themed, with Xposed/Magisk, and with Nova Launcher.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] CyberManiaK:
On your B160 when you have enabled do not disturb, is still there the "do not disturb" icon ? Also you can still see the battery monitor, screen on time and the menu to change the performance?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
Yes to all. Your ROM has the the Power Manager app disabled - probably because some consider it to be bloat - but not I. :)
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] CyberManiaK:
O:rolleyes: I guess i will debloat my own B160 then, there are some ATT apps that on B130 even with Titanium Backup or Total Commander I wasn't able to deleted them completely, do you have any tips, a guide or something so we can fully remove those persistent apps?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
Check for the Phone Manager app being disabled too - I may be wrong about it being the Power Manager app being disabled.

I don't have a guide other than make a full TWRP backup before disabling apps and uninstall the apps you don't want after confirming that the phone works fine without them. I only uninstall apps that the phone app manager lets me uninstall, as there's nothing to be gained by completely deleting the apks off the phone with a file manager, etc.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] clsA:

Bare Naked has the most stuff removed

Stripped stock may also work for you just flash SuperSU if you want root
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
Do you mean you could not disable apps (vs delete off the phone), and if yes, which apps?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] Tmobilefan906:
Sorry...I meant a specific thread.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] CyberManiaK:
Ok, thanks.

Well yeah bare naked it's supposed to have stuff removed, but I assumed not stuff from the system. Like when we clear the apps on ram, telling us how much ram is now free, the ability to see on screen time, or choose the performance level we want, or stock icons for system notifications, also not supposed to be removed is Mobile Network shortcut (yeah the shortcut on drop panel will bring us there) but....

On that stripped stock what is removed and what is left?

---------- Post added at 12:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 PM ----------

Yeah disable it can be done, but i wanted to deleted them completely and I wasn't able to do it. I don't have on top of my mind which ones. But there where some... I will try again. and make a list on which ones i can't deleted them.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] clsA:
Deleting too many gets you to the bare naked ROM.. things get broken. Phone Manager is horrible and accounts for many of the settings your missing.

It's no big deal the phone works fine many use that ROM with no complaint

If it's not for you try something else
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
I don't worry about the ones that can't be deleted, as long as they are disabled (so they won't run and can't use RAM). As I said previously, deleting them doesn't buy me anything, so it's not worth wasting time over deleting them because I can't generally re-use that space anyway or haven't needed the space.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] madvane20:
u can use the space on system by converting apps to system apps. so its not pointless to delete them. i have already done this its how im building my rom for the xt based emui.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
If you are not concerned about the security of giving those apps system privilege, that's awesome :p .

Anyone who does this, please post some real numbers on how much space you actually gained by moving apps to system :) .
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] madvane20:
let say for example hangouts was a system app but was removed from a rom someone released. and u want it back on there for system. does mean ur saying hangouts has full system priv no the apps u install tell you was priv they have or dont have. as well those root apps if u grant them root doesnt matter if they are on system or data they still has. so adding a app to system depends on the access it has by the app itself making it system app doesnt make it have full access or the preloaded bloat would of had full on access to the phone. although some dont use hangouts i do but thats a example. also u cant make all apps system apps just to let people know
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
Seems you are correct if this is still valid:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19868138/aosp-privileged-vs-system-app

Install in /system/app and definitely not in /system/priv-app

How much space have you saved installing apps to system vs as user apps and how many apps are we talking about here?
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] madvane20:
dunno im just making apps system apps for my rom like adway etc that way if someone does a factory restore if im not mistaken the apps installed on the system will still be there and functional. and i been doing the lazy route i supposse using this app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.systemappmover&hl=en
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] clsA:
I tried that and it only moves the app.apk

All the apps data is still In​ data/apps so it's not a big gain. Was worth a shot though
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
Now that's a very good reason to move apps to system :) .

Like clsA said though , insignificant space gains from moving apks as far as I could see also. My system partition has about 490MB free without having deleted or any moved any apks.

As long as we're getting updates from AT&T for the XT, I'm keeping my system partition as stock as possible and fortunately I have not had to do a factory reset since rooting the phone.
[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] madvane20:
we do have full stock backups out so modifying system doesnt matter. as well if u have ur own twrp backup can restore it. well since that program is useless guess i can always make a installer that will move file to make them system apps. ty [MENTION=2895182]clsA[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6065620]divineBliss[/MENTION] for bring some things into the light been dealing with a burn on my arm why im not full fledged on the site
