Tested on latest xiaomi.eu rom

BEFORE STARTING ALWAYS REMEMBER TO BACK UP THE FILES YOU ARE ABOUT TO EDIT

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING BAD THAT HAPPENS OKAY

I WISH THIS WERE POSSIBLE ON NON ROOTED PHONES BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THE PAIN OF HAVING BAD MULTI TASKING :(

NOW LETS GO

1. Make sure phone is BL unlocked and Rooted

2. Flash latest Xiaomi.eu rom and make sure you have root (via superSU or whatever root app of your choice)

3. Install FX file explorer and FX root add on

4. Go to system/etc and find a file named mcd_default.conf

5. edit the file and delete the lines that are shown here highlighted

open image

6. Save file

7. Enable developer options

8. Find memory optimization and set to HIGH and Reboot

9. Wait for phone to boot back up

10. Go to Developer options in settings and Disable MIUI optimizations and Reboot

11. Install kernel audiotor and go to low memory killer option and select very light and enable "apply on boot"

12. Reboot

13. Go to fx file explorer and go to system/build.prop and edit the file - find the line persist.sys.whetstone.level=2 and change it to persist.sys.whetstone.level=0 and save file and reboot

14. Test it out yourself

EXPLANATION

Basically the lines that are deleted in the mcd_defaullt.conf makes sure that ALMOST ALL APPS are killed whenever you launch a system app like PHONE, MESSAGING, GALLERY. In AOSP roms this is not the behaviour, instead AOSP picks the least used app or the earliest app used to be killed when LMK (Low memory killer) values are reached. Deleting the lines brings back this AOSP behaviour. Benefit of MIUI is you can LOCK APPS IN MEMORY using the task manager/recent and now MIUI will kill the earliest used app in the recents/task manager that are NOT locked.

EXPLANATION NUMBER 2 REGARDING CHANGING LMK BEHAVIOUR USING KERNEL AUDITOR

The stock LMK values are not set by xiaomi or MIUI, instead it is automatically generated by ANY AOSP rom because it uses a ratio system. If the ram is big (like ours 3gb) than the ratio values will be higher. MIUI or Xiaomi should have fixed this but they didnt. SO PLEASE CHANGE THE LMK VALUES IN KERNEL AUDIOTOR

EXPLANATION NUMBER 3 REGARDING WHETSTONE

Don't uninstall or freeze this app. IT DOES NOT HELP OR AFFECT MULTITASKING AT ALL. DELETING IT WILL DISABLE MEMORY OPTIMIZATIONS

REMINDER

MIUI is a very RAM hungry OS so please dont expect a lot of free ram but unused ram is wasted ram anyway
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] x3m.zone:
Ok, first of all i just want to thx for this guide... but... it's not working.

Redmi Note 4 with MIUI EU 8.1.3.0 Stable.

I tested it for about 1day and here are my feedback:

- Phone hangs and become unresponsive quickly. I kill all apps, but still lags. If i restart the phone, then is ok for a while...but after i open again some apps, games, will die in huge lagging.

- Camera lags, google play lags, facebook lags.

- Fingerprint unlock have 1-2 sec onds delay. Never ever have this problem again.

- Battery is the same, no improvements here.

I finished after one day, restoring my backup.

I done all the steps, exactly in your way and your order. My feeling is that memory are not fully released, even if i kill all the apps.

I will test next every part in this guide, independently, to se how is doing...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] asusm930:
u have to use the latest xiaomi.eu rom

the stable 8.1.3.0 has a bug where the dev still classified the rom as having 2gb of ram only (we have 3gb variant as well) (i read this somewhere i forgot where) and the latest china dev xiaomi.eu rom has this bug fixed for our device. Try this tweak with memory optimization on LOW but remember use the LATEST xiaomi.eu rom. Phone is working wonderful on my device

also try freezing battery saver via Link2SD. This is the only other thing I have changed on my device
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] asusm930:
also thanks for feedback which is very important in testing tweaks
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] x3m.zone:
I use EU Stable 8.1.3.0 ROM for about a week and never had problems or any bugs. None!

I will try this again on EU Dev 6.12.15 today to see how is doing...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] asusm930:
I just tried this just now on a clean flash of latest EU ROM

1. memory optimization on LOW

2. Use link2sd to freeze battery optimizer app

3. Delete this line from mcd_default.conf in system/etc directory https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_Q4QjvbODxoS2RnRmRWTDk3TE0/view?usp=drivesdk

4. Set LMK Low Memory Killer value to medium on Kernel Auidotor

And thats it with the same result as my previous tweaks. I think this will resolve the lag that you are facing

Ignore my previous steps on this thread and follow these new ones. Good luck

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harut2K:
I screwed up my phone! Last year my idiot friend flashed CM13.1 on my phone which is very buggy (no video recording, no cellular data, random non-responsiveness and many other issues) but it was workable. Now that CM14.1 came out I decided to update it in hopes of fixing these issues.

So what I did was manually backup all my important stuff on my PC (photos, music, contacts etc), backup the system using TWRP's backup thing.

Then I tried wiping the data, dalvik and cache. It seemed like it was working but without me touching it, my phone rebooted and after a long time of saying "optimizing apps" it loaded stock Cm13.1. So I booted back into recovery and tried to flash CM14.1, which failed for some reason.

Now I keep getting messages that some apps are not responding even though I do not have them opened at all! How can I flash CM14.1 or fix the issues?

PLEASE HELP!

[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] Slavon-93:
Hello everyone. I have an idea: let's share our oeminfo?

What is oeminfo?

Oeminfo is a partition in Huawei devices that defines what regional settings will be applied on boot.

How does it work?

No one except Huawei knows what exactly this partition contains. It can't be mounted, most likely doesn't contain files and its format is undefined.

The only thing we know is that changing its content to the one from device of another country makes your device think it's from that country.

Also we know that the device somehow reads this partiton and decides what folder from cust partiton to read and link to.

What's all that for?

As we know, Chinese manufacturers often forget to update devices from countries other than China. It makes their owners frustrate and dream of new features they'll possibly never get.

How to know what oeminfo do i have?

First of all, go to "About device" and look at build number. For example, my Russian tablet has BTV-DL09C100B005 number. BTV-DL09 is model, C100 is region my firmware belongs to and B005 is version.

At this moment we can find the newest chinese firmware, which build number is BTV-DL09C233B026. C233 is Chinese region and this firmware brings some new features to EMUI like posibility to hide navigation bar, set screen density to apps etc. Of course if your region differs from C233, you won't see this update with Update menu.

Also, you can type *#*#2846579#*#* in dialer, go to Network Information Query and then to Vendor Country info. My device shows Vendor: hw, Country: ru.

How to backup oeminfo?

I know 3 ways:

1) With TWRP backup feature

2) With dd from TWRP adb shell

3) With ES Explorer.

1) Backup with TWRP is easy and doesn't need an explanation.

2) To backup with dd go to TWRP, connect your device to the computer, type adb shell in command line and you'll be in TWRP console.

Now type dd if=/dev/block/platrofm/hi_mci.0/by-name/oeminfo of=/sdcard/oeminfo.img and you'll get a byte-to-byte copy of oeminfo partition in internal storage.

3) To backup with ES Explorer, you'll need root access. If you have if, go to /dev/block/platrofm/hi_mci.0/by-name/ and copy oeminfo to another place.

I don't know which way is the most correct, but owners of another Huawei devices change oeminfo with ES Explorer and sometimes dd.

So, what do you, guys, think? If someone has Chinese DL09 with C233 region, please, share your oeminfo, so other people could get updates.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] lolo83560:
Wow, great post full of great info...

Just for the sake of trying, I successfully copied my oeminfo file as you advise from /dev/... to SDcard, using ES Explorer in root mode.

For everyone's info that's a mighty 64MB file... my case is vendor=hw, country=eu.

One innocent question: say we get a Chinese oeminfo somehow, how to be sure that swapping around those files in /dev/... directory won't brick the device? (or turn the display to unreadable pinyin characters...)
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] Slavon-93:
Well, this method of switching regions is used on many huawei devices like Mate 8, Honor 6, P8 lite, Mediapad M2, Mediapad X2, etc. I can't garantee that it works on M3, but I don't think it's something completely different from other devices where this method works. Anyway, at this moment I want to collect these files from different regions and see if they're at least similar. Its size is really 64MB and it's OK. I also would make a dd backup just in case something goes wrong.

P.S. what's your build number? I'd like to know if other countries have more recent firmware than Russia, cause the reason of all this messing around is just getting as more updates as possible.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] lolo83560:

Device not rooted yet and waiting for availability of official recovery before installing TWRP.

Device did have a lot of Chinese app (since uninstalled) but no real issue switching language to English on first boot up. Had to select English (UK) before I can use Australia as region. Selecting English (US) did not give Australia as a country as an option.

Have also replaced the EMUI with stock standard Google interface.

What's different from DL09? Wi-Fi only, no SIM? Is there anything interesting in Settings? Does it see any OTA?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] lolo83560:
Hi,

from Huawei's specifications page, indeed seems only two models have been released: DL09 (L as LTE) and W09 (W as WIFI).

DL being the same as W with cellphone "Network" features added, i.e. GSM, UMTS, LTE, etc.

Availability of the LTE seems to depend on region, whereas the (cheaper) WIFI model is available everywhere.

eg. in EU we have both, whereas it seems they only get the W in the US.

in my preliminary analysis I see that boot and recovery are signed and the signature block is 4K
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] lolo83560:
Looks a good start ... but it's all in Chinese characters. Google translate does a great job but eventually downloading bigger files need the "BaiduNetDisk" utility to be installed, which is all in pinyin too ... unreadable for non-asians and google translate cannot be used to help it.

Any chance you could retrieve this all and upload it for us to another place?

Essentially these two big 1.4GB files cannot be downloaded w/o the utility :

华为_BTV-W09_BTV-W09C233B017_中国(China)_6.0.zip

华为_BTV-W09_BTV-W09C233B010_中国(China)_6.0.zip

and beware, the file MiFlash工具教程.zip is reported by Firefox to contain a virus or malware. Might be true or not, but at least MSE does not flag it as dangerous.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] Slavon-93:
Don't know why, but I can mark these files, press ä¸‹è½½ button and files are being downloaded. The problem is it's very slow.

Also, I have a link to Full OTA firmware for BTV-W09C233B019:

http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1224/g490/v67974/f1/full/update.zip

PLEASE, BE VERY CAREFUL IF YOU WANT TO INSTALL IT

How-to:

1) Download this file.

2) Open it and assure that it has META-INF folder and UPDATE.APP file inside.

3) Find some kind of Huawei firmware extractor and open UPDATE.APP with it.

4) Extract cust.img and verlist.img

5) Open verlist.img with notepad or any other text editor and assure it has BTV-W09Cxxx inside, where xxx is a number.

6) Find ext4 extractor and extract cust.img. Somewhere in dualcu/cn/prop you will find local.prop. Open it and assure it has ro.build.display_id=BTV-DL09C233B019 inside.

7) Boot into TWRP and make a backup, transfer in to the PC.

8) Make a backup of all partitions with dd from adb shell (still it TWRP):

for f in 3rdmodem 3rdmodemnvm 3rdmodemnvmbkp boot cache cust dfx dts fastboot frp fw_hifi fw_lpm3 hisitest0 hisitest1 hisitest2 misc modem modem_dsp modem_dtb modem_om modemnvm_backup modemnvm_factory modemnvm_img modemnvm_system modemnvm_update nvme oeminfo persist recovery recovery2 reserved1 reserved2 secure_storage sensorhub splash splash2 system teeos trustfirmware vrl vrl_backup ; do echo "Copying $f"; dd if=$f of=/sdcard/$f.img; done

Please, edit it according to partitions you have, because this script is for BTV-DL09. The easiest way to do it is launch "ls -1" command, copy its output to notepad, delete userdata from the list and put everything in one line.

9) Copy img files to your computer.

10) put update.zip to your tablet's memory and install it with TWRP, just like any other zip file.

11) You will loose TWRP, so boot into fastboot and reinstall it.

I'm not responsible if anything goes wrong. I don't have W09 tablet, but all these have been done by me on a DL09 variant with Chinese C233B026 firmware.

Also, I will try to download these zip files and put them to another site.

Added links to those Chinese ROMS. Please, tell me if you can't download them or can't undestand how to.

[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] Slavon-93:
So, well, thanks to all. As I see, there's really no great need in changing OemInfo at this moment.

Here're the reasons:

1) You want OTA -> you don't modify the system. Otherwise it won't install.

2) If you have root and did some modifications, it's better to install Chinese firmware than wait for an OTA which may come or not.

3) This tablet is not a cheap one and still there was no person who'd like to try changing OEMINFO to some other, so we don't know if it can be done at all.

4) Chinese firmware can be successfully installed with TWRP and if you backup your cust partition and restore your original folder structure there after installation, you won't have any problems. Moreover your tablet will behave just like it's from your country, not China.

5) Nobody knows how to manually install OTA updates, because old ways don't work and new ones are not discovered.

[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] KorAdvocat:
TWRP backup image of BTV-DL09C233 (Chinese LTE Version) OEMinfo

Hello all, I'm relatively new to this forum but I'd like to make a contribution.

Recently I rebranded my Mediapad M3, changing the oeminfo from C233 to C100.

I made a backup before this change and would like to share it.

Of course, I wouldn't recommend the C233 unless you are Chinese. Because of the Chinese gov't ban on Google products, it removes most standard Google features and replaces them with Chinese versions.

While there are workarounds (installing Google Play) I feel that it significantly alters the Android experience.

I can confirm that changing from C233(China) to C100(Europe) works well, however I am not sure if the same can be said of the converse situation.

Anyway, enjoy!
