[Mate 8 Android Development] danywalkert:
It boots but it does no detect the SIM card at all, Im on a Mate 8 L09 (single SIM-32GB), is there any fix?

Man this is beautiful, aosp makes this device 100 times better, I hope this ROM ever makes it to a fully working ROM.

Thanks a lot Skypolo and all involved.
[Mate 8 Android Development] matrox02:
Yeah I have the same issues with my nxt L09, I logged a bug as per first post, but have not heard anything yet, I'd love to make this my daily driver...
[Mate 8 Android Development] cih997:
I have this SIM card issue on my L29 from time to time but I restart the phone then once or twice and I get the SIM connection eventually.
[Mate 8 Android Development] Kingzak34:
What recovery did you use to install the rom?

Tapatalké depuis mon Mate 8 LineageOS !
[Mate 8 Android Development] cih997:
I mentioned this here https://github.com/PaulFasola/android_device_huawei_next/issues/18#issuecomment-287295657
[Mate 8 Android Development] Kingzak34:
I didn't remember it was you. Anyway since you're not sure your you installed it from recommended twrp we can not know if issue came from recovery or not. Cause I had issues with others recovery for sim too.

Tapatalké depuis mon Mate 8 LineageOS !
[Mate 8 Android Development] cih997:
Thanks anyway.

I think the issue is that even if I try to reinstall, the correct TWRP may still not work. Do you know about any issues related with this TWRP? Also, can you confirm which one is the correct one I should have used?

If I decide to reinstall including TWRP what would be the best approach? Should I reinstall TWRP only or do full format / wipe etc.
[Mate 8 Android Development] danywalkert:
Me too

I know, if the SIM was detected Id be using it from now on, dont care about the other issues.

I will try and replace the cust folder or flash it through TWRP and see if that would fix anything, that has helped me before when using stock firmware from other models.

You seem to be trying to flash the update = 5.1

"Alpha 5.1 - (Full)OTA / download

Link: click here

Fully fix the GPS (satellites acquisition, bad wakelocks...)

Fix offline charge (animation) and adjust the settings for a faster charge (rapid charge still In the to-do list).

Have the latest LineageOS 13 core changes"

And you are correct, you have to unzip it twice, then flash it through TWRP. I have just gone through this and the update flashed correctly.
[Mate 8 Android Development] _skypol0:
After a little break.

Let's fix this unstable RIL/signal !
[Mate 8 Android Development] danywalkert:
Sweet!

Welcome Back!
[Mate 8 Android Development] Kingzak34:
You should backup first (beware to transfer backup to computer in case of you need format data or to backup on SDCard)

The twrp you must use is the one recommended in FAQ and OP.

You can try to reinstall directly with the recommended twrp, and see how it goes, and if no changes, full format and flash again.
[Mate 8 Android Development] pooya2ir:
any new release ?

cant wait ...
[Mate 8 Android Development] _skypol0:
There will be a release once the focused tasks will be completed, there is no delay (I've got some IRL priorities) and i'm the lonely contributor.

So the progress is stopped when I don't work on the port. (unfortunately)

Current tasks :

- Stabilize RIL (telephony) for AL-10 and fix it for the L-09 variant (I've made a "properties" switcher which *should* fix (almost) everything)

- Add double tap to wake feature (80% done)

- Add fingerprint feature

Once done, I'll start to focus on the camera (stabilizations) and on SELinux (Enforcement) for the beta.
[Mate 8 Android Development] _skypol0:
I need some AL-10/L-09 users for some internal informations (you'll need a terminal app/ADB)

Could you PM me ?
[Mate 8 Android Development] danywalkert:
Im in, I have a NXT-L09.

Hi there, already sent you a PM, doesnt show when I check my sent messages though, hope you did get it. If you didnt Im already commenting on your ROM github page, please let me know how I can help, ill do it gladly.

Cheers.

[Mate 8 Android Development] Hessa:
I'm on build 13.0. 20170324

Flash went without trouble

Wiped dalvik but having terrible battery drain in 4 hours almost 50%

My phone is l29c432

Also i wanted to try this rom because the mui 5.0 is not playing well with klwp

Pithy this rom has the same problem with klwp

Animations not working well (randomly moving) just simple coding not working

Never a Huawei for me

Also having trouble with calling when i try to make a caal it just soft reboot

when somebody calls me it just soft reboot

Can somebody help me to return to stock

What is the best way

Thx for any help ?
[Mate 8 Android Development] _skypol0:
Edit : L-29 or L-09 ?

I've got an L-29 one and I don't have your bugs :/ Your flash went wrong.

To rollback to stock : flash the stock ROM or your backup with TWRP/any flash tool.
[Mate 8 Android Development] _skypol0:
Hi, the switcher is complete and working in my phone (L-29). I'm uploading it for a AL-10 tester. Depending of the results, there will be another OTA release this week
[Mate 8 Android Development] qinhongwe_i:
I'm use alpha5(0329) in my CL-00(Change the OEMinfo and flash the AL-10 official rom,now it is AL-10 in EMUI)，LinegeOS is normol in my CL-00 except SIM，I only can use the second SIM(GSM and WCDMA 2G)，the first SIM can't use any operator(but it can identify operator and display on the SIM of Settings).By the way,when I didn't Change the OEMinfo,Using LinegeOS is not different,but the baseband has changed.
[Mate 8 Android Development] cih997:
Sounds great. Do we know about any fixes or improvements for Bluetooth / Mobile network connection / Camera with following update? Thanks!

[Mate 8 Android Development] cih997:

No delay, but on their way. (except bluetooth which is labelled as "stable", unless someone report a bug that can be reproduced)

Please refers to the "I've found a bug" section. Unfortunately I can't solve your problem with this feedback :/
[Mate 8 Android Development] cih997:
Thanks, there is a whole topic on github with "mine" BT issues https://github.com/PaulFasola/android_device_huawei_next/issues/24 but I assume noone is experiencing this so this could be related to my device(s) only...

[Mate 8 Android Development] joseftwilfredo:
No more actualitations?

[Mate 8 Android Development] _skypol0:
Still on it's way, no release this week cause' the issue is still not fixed. Also, since I don't have your variant, it's even more difficult to test rapidly (also real life, job, studies etc..), time is a luxury.

Check my commits history to see the status of the project.

Meanwhile, I made kinds of improvements concerning the Camera, screencast and other several minor fixes . The fingerprint scanner is now online but Lineage can't initialize it for now.

The beta update may come before having a RIL patch for the L-09 variant.

Sorry I don't read this thread much , I did port of a p9 but fingerprint I have no solution I can do. Its much faster access to apps but , emui is what makes the mate 8 great. I already put up my os but just got rediculed about it and I went a lot farther than this on 7.1..
[Mate 8 Android Development] danywalkert:
Hi there, quick questions:

did you use the recently released huawei open source?

In simple steps, how did your accomplish to do your port?

Share a link to your port please!?

I'd like to study it and give porting a try, thanks.
[Mate 8 Android Development] _skypol0:
Hi folks,

Just a quick update to announce that

I'm not working on CM-13 anymore

.

Since a few days I work on CM-14 which will appear in another thread in a few days

If you are on CM-13 and you want to upgrade to CM-14, since the filesystem of the data partition has changed, I'm not so sure about the result.

You guys should upgrade to EMUI 5.0/7.0.0 and wait (if you want so) for the first Nougat release,

I'll post a link here when the new DB thread will be published.

NB that CM-14 is not fully running on the Mate 8 for now. Fully = at the same state as the CM-13 progress.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.
[Mate 8 Android Development] danywalkert:
Great news!

Thanks for the update and for not abandoning the mate 8 =)

Cheers.
[Mate 8 Android Development] ScouserCL:
Looking forward to this :good:
[Mate 8 Android Development] _skypol0:
My phone is currently stuck in EMUI 5.0 with a screwed up partition table ^^' I'm trying to fix this before working again on the build.

Android is hard, sometimes.
[Mate 8 Android Development] ScouserCL:
Is it too hard to fix?
[Mate 8 Android Development] jbmc83:
haha i know that feeling, playing around with partition tables can be quite finicky! were u trying to make the system partition smaller than the stock 1.98 GB?
[Mate 8 Android Development] _skypol0:
My file system was messed up since some CM-14 tests and so there wasn't any TWRP working with it. The dload method wasn't working too.

I managed to fix this right now (with a pre-rollback, a rollback to 6.0 and finally an (official, for the first time !) 7.0 OTA upgrade.

This wasn't so hard, I just don't have enough time to focus on this for now, so everything is slow :/
[Mate 8 Android Development] Forever5212138:
Would someone like to pull cm14 to mate 8? thanks very much.
[Mate 8 Android Development] cih997:
Hi guys, do you know how or if there is step by step guide how to move from this ROM to the latest stock ROM (L29)?

Am I correct that I will need to do that anyway if moving from cm13 to cm14 in the future?

Thanks in advance.
[Mate 8 Android Development] Mulham82:
Hi Guys,

Is there will be an official Lineage OS for Mate 8?!! Is there any MIUI ROM for Mate 8?!!

By the way, I can see that there is no much custom ROMs for this device.

Thanks.

Will rom from honor 8 work, since it has same hardware ?

Well what do you think? What would happen when flashing other devices roms to a different device?.... bricking it maybe...?

[Mate 8 Android Development] El Solido:
It has same hardware ? Don't act like you know anything about android, with that statement you proved that you are dumb for android.
[Mate 8 Android Development] its the peanut:
if you think you can flash a rom on a device wich it is not designed for... go ahead. I have been around here at xda and a few different other forums for a couple of years now to know and have seen too many crap on alot of devices, and i know from expierence and from other devs and users that it will end up in hard or soft bricking a device. I've been on the android boat almost after the beginning, and began rooting and helping developers back in the days of android 4 (kitkat).

Now i got you sort of mad (or whatever you feel like) by my post cause i did not give you a straight answer, but if you would think logically you get my point (some of the devs that have been here for some time will understand my post). With a reply like that, you are at the wrong person!

Your statement that i am dumb proves that you dont know what you are talking about. It proves that you quickly draw prejudices.

I am an *sshole and i am aware of that, but i am certainly not dumb!

[Mate 8 Android Development] El Solido:
It works for xperia devices, so what is problem ?
[Mate 8 Android Development] its the peanut:
It depends, from expierence it can be bootloader version, firmware version. Certain coding added into an other device. Partitions, security features wich can interfere with roms. Sony xperia (or just to say sony devices) are mostly made the same because sony does not really prevent us from developing (rooting, flashing etc)... i read somewhere they kept their firmwares open and the sources for people to play with. The possibility with sony flashing roms on devices its not build for is a bit higher, but can still result in various bugs.

Huawei is stubborn as ****, i tryd myself but i got a busy life so i stopped with it (i didnt post anything about it, i dont do placeholders, but i worked on it just to try). Alot of other developers, not just this device, but also the P8, P7 and the rest of the boat where very hard that developers stopped or just never responded on their own project.

If you flash a rom to a device its not meant for, you can end up bricking it... huawei is in alot of cases hard to brick and just ends up in soft brick... wich can be fixed easy... but you have the chance of hard bricking and with some new security added to the hardware by itself can just kill the device (ending up totally unrecoverable)

n00b question, noticing the excitement of getting CM ported to the Mate 8, how is this different from other custom roms ?
[Mate 8 Android Development] SanHelios:
Cyanogenmod is a custom-tom, which is pretty close to the actual Android. It doesn't contain any bloatware and is quite "clean".

A good thing about CM is its continued support for older devices with the latest android-releases...

https://www.cyanogenmod.org/

Here's their website, if your want to find out for youself. :D

[Mate 8 Android Development] birleytweet:
Thanks would be awesome to have this working on the Mate 8. I've been undecided about the Mate 8 as the first Chinese phone I've tried. The available ROMs was a bit let down, but do think it's a great phone with large battery capacity and overall works great. This would top it off having CyanogenMod. Thanks
[Mate 8 Android Development] _skypol0:
When everything will be online (RIL, Camera and cie) I'll do my best to optimize CM-13 for this device, from the kernel to the apps.

And when it will be possible to port CM-14 on this one, I'll work on (contributors are welcome as always ;) ).

Audio is working since this morning, RIL is the next (and the last one) to be fixed before the Alpha-2 release (do not hesitate to open 'issues' on the GitHub if you guys find anything not listed in the "GitHub's Project" board).

[Mate 8 Android Development] malekowsky:
It's working on NXT-AL10, I just went from B386 and all is working except the functions that you mentioned that are not currently working

Boot time takes forever, but hey just to see that CM animation on a Mate 8 is worth the shot. This looks very promising.

I have a feeling that when plugged and screen is off, the display is not completely turned off.
[Mate 8 Android Development] _skypol0:
Awesome news for the AL10 compat, you made my night!

Boot time might be much better in the next release and I've disabled the deep sleep mode in that build for now (see the dark screen of the death issue).

This next release will also bring up OTA updates through the official CM-Updater, more convenient. (updates will still be unofficial and from my personal server)
[Mate 8 Android Development] ferchotapia:
Yep, it works for Al 10. Same, had the 386 when flashed CM. Awesome, I was about to sell my Mate until I saw someone porting CM . This is getting better and better. Great Job
