Not sure how I managed to break data/wifi, but after restoring through update.app and starting again all is working. Xposed works fine (adblocker and greenify). I tried installing Magisk over superuser, it installs but seems to break root. I will try installing superSU over the weekend, need my phone to work at the moment.

One strange thing is I cannot get my external SDcard to be recognized by file managers or my PC, but I can view it in TWRP or in Setting->Storage & USB, odd.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Rymcbc:
Are you not able to wipe the partition sizes in twrp and let LOS set its own up? Thought LOS did it during flash regardless of what was there already on any partions required but that was just an assumption.

---------- Post added at 05:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ----------

Did you ave to flash data partitions found here after the data wipe in twrp or did you just wipe data to remove encryption and then just let LOS do the rest setting the data partition up again? Also which file specifically is the one you wiped the first line out to get past the variant failure?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] #Henkate:
I am able to wipe the partitions in TWRP, but the problem is that im getting stuck at "Patching system unconditionally". I took the logcat of recovery and there ive seen that the problem is that system.img is too big, just like i expected.

So, CAN-L11 has different partition sizes than CAN-L01 and thats why LOS 13 for CAN-L01 wont work on CAN-L11. We need to build LOS 13 using the CAN-L11 partitions sizes.

I have corrected the partition sizes in BoardConfig (system image and userdata image) and started to build, but unfortunately ive got a build error after 7h 25m of building... an error regarding Jack, its possible that my PC was too slow or got out of memory and thats why ive got that error.

But man, 7h 25m and still didnt finish the build? Thats just too crazy. It would have finished in 8-10h since it still had to build some .jar and also the .apks.

When ive built ROMs for my previous phone (Galaxy J5 2015), it was taking 4h -4h 30m to build ROMs and it seems that it takes too much to build for Nova...

It takes much time to build just because my PC sux... And i dont feel like ill ever try to build since 8-10h is insane.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Rymcbc:
Is it not possible to change the partition​ sizes via fastboot/ADB?

Wish this rumored Huawei roll back app would just show up already.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] #Henkate:
I think you can repartition it with parted, but thats risky and you can mess up your phone badly.

CAN-L11 has smaller system partition size than CAN-L01 and it also has bigger userdata image partition size than L01 (just a bit).

If i would have a better PC or if i would be able to use a build server from someone, i could build...
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Rymcbc:
Def risky. Think it would be easier to find the exact partition sizes so it was easy to be sure. Never worked a build before so no idea on what's required for a build PC. What would do the trick specs wise.

Wish I had seen this LOS before I jumped to Nougat. Didn't like Emui 4 so i was eager unfortunately.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] #Henkate:
As ive said, i already corrected the partition sizes in BoardConfig.mk (device tree). You can see them too by using parted (i believe there are other methods too).

My PC has an AMD Dual Core 3.4Ghz and 4GB RAM and as ive told you, is taking me too much time to build. There are people who build in 30mins - 2h... So you need a strong PC, but i dont really know the specs.

Well, if you have CAN-L11, you cant flash this LOS anyway since it is for CAN-L01 and the partition sizes are different.

You can downgrad to EMUI 4 by restoring a TWRP backup of EMUI 4. Ive downgraded the same way.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Rymcbc:
As I've said I'm a MLA-L03 not a CAN-L11 or L01 so my partition sizes may be different then both and the version you have said you were trying to have built may not be of any use to me as is, but I have a desktop running at 4.5 GHz and 16 gigs of ram on a 990Fx chipset and endless time for it to run so I may be be able to have it finish for you and see how it works out if you would like.

I have been searching for a month on various forums here looking for emui4 twrp backups for my variant and have yet to find them anywhere so that option isn't available to me or I'd be back on MM already but thank you.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] #Henkate:
I didnt see where youve said that youre MLA-L03 owner, im sorry :p.

Well, youve got a nice PC and i think you should be able to build kinda fast. You wont have to keep your PC 8-10h to build like me lol.

If you are interested in building from source, then check out this great guide: [GUIDE][COMPLETE] Android ROM Development From Source To End.

Here are the device and vendor trees and the kernel made by [MENTION=4443334]Grarak[/MENTION] :

- device tree: https://github.com/Grarak/android_device_huawei_can

- vendor: https://github.com/Grarak/proprietary_vendor_huawei

- kernel: https://github.com/Grarak/android_kernel_huawei_msm8953

And here is LineageOS manifest: https://github.com/LineageOS/android/tree/cm-13.0 (you will find out in that guide why it is needed).

If youre willing to build for CAN-L11, here is the commit where ive corrected the partition sizes for it: https://github.com/skinzor/android_device_huawei_can/commit/43895fa9da6ffad0ad24a5042b58e171718d310b .
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Rymcbc:
Kick ass! I actually have a week off and nothing to do so I was already looking into Rom building a little as I knew I had a good base to start with here with Graraks hard work already having it functional on my variant coming from MM. Thanks a ton, I'll let ya know how it goes.

Are the partition sizes you have in the new commit the sizes from your nougat version now? IE am I able to grab mine for my current version and substitute them in place of yours if I get yours working?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] #Henkate:
Ive forgot to tell you something. You also need some free space.

My folder called LineageOS_13 has 27,8 GB. Inside the folder there are LOS sources and also the device, vendor and kernel for Nova.

You will also need about 30-40GB to build it. And if you want to build with ccache (build faster) you have to add up at least 50GB from what ive heard.

So you need at least 50-70GB free to download LOS sources and build the ROM.

Also, you might run into some basic troubles (like with java or something), but Google will help ya :D Although my knowledge is very limited, you can PM me too and talk somewhere else ( facebook, skype or something) if you are stuck with some trouble.

Good luck!

EDIT:

[MENTION=7284611]Rymcbc[/MENTION]

I reply too fast and youve edited your reply while i was replying to you :D.

The partition sizes from that commit are from Marshmallow.

Yes, you can check all partition sizes and modify them according to your model.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Rymcbc:
All good I have a half a TB empty drive I'll use for the rom and environment. I'll definitely​ pm you if I run into something I can't find a solution for. Limited knowledge of building but have been through a million android situations with my S7 & S6 and many many roms for whatever that will help with. Thanks again.

---------- Post added at 06:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 PM ----------

Ok so I just have to find the partition sizes for MM for the MLA-L03 variant if different then the CAN-L01 and substitute.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Rymcbc:
Perfect thanks! I can't grab my own unfortunately as I'm on Nougat and without a rollback app or finding some twrp back ups for my variant I can't get back to MM. But I figure if I can get your variant version built and all is successful then once found I can apply the same methodology with my own partition sizes.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] wangdaning:
I am pretty sure the partition layout is static among the variant versions of the phone (only changes being internal memory sizes). What changes is when you go to nougat is different than saying the phones are different. I never updated to nougat and was able to flash it fine. It would be great to develop more on this and I hope [MENTION=4443334]Grarak[/MENTION] comes back.

If you have nougat partitions then think about getting Lineage 14.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Rymcbc:
I haven't seen any Lineage 14 or 14.1 release for the Nova/Plus as far as I can find this is the only Aosp available at the moment. But I also have two different phones this one and a LG G5 that when upgraded to Nougat (LG was ota) both lost mirror link capabilities with my car which is a huge factor for me. So that's my driving factor in going backwards. I definitely​ prefer Emui 5 over 4 for certain if it wasn't.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] wangdaning:
My point was kind of partition changes were issues in several devices from MM to N. People could probably get back with fastboot, but I am not sure as I never went to N. If you are willing, fastboot the boot, system, recovery from an MM update.app and see what happens.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] mArIuS%:

[MENTION=4443334]Grarak[/MENTION] provides a TWRP v 3.0.2.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Grarak:
IIRC you only need to replace the partition size when your device has larger ones.

So replace USERDATA and you are good to go on both CAN variants.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] wangdaning:
I can see why [MENTION=4443334]Grarak[/MENTION] stopped dev support. The fact is you built a fully functional build. It goes fine on my AL10, and the SD card issue I had was solved with:

sm storage-force-adaptable yes

Only other kink is fm radio. I could do without this and this is common on any CM/Lineage build. The camera is working great.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] tnap1979:
hey guys.

im a fortunate owner of a MLA-L03 variant Nova Plus.

i have Grarak's TWRP installed, but i wiped my Rogers nougat flashed system partition in twrp,

and now the los13 is stalling at patching system image part

im VERY familiar with flashing and fixing and editing files, i have linux installs and VM's available, just need a little guidance...

im beyond sick of stock and NEED root or i dont want the device... ROOT is a MAJOR requirement for me.. i gamestream from pc to mobile and use Moonlight for ROOT users, and Sixaxis Controller app

the phone is currently bootloader unlocked as well, and still working, just stuck at twrp menu plugged into charger until i figure out a fix

[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Rymcbc:
Would that be the same theory for a MLA-L03 variant? Or would the partition size be different then the can L01 its intended for?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Araltd:
I'm sure many of you are more knowledgeable about this than I am. I recently upgraded to a S7E from a note 4. I was pretty bummed out learning afterwards that the S7E from Tmobile has a locked bootloader thus no root (twrp, roms, etc)

So is this just the future reality for all new upcoming carrier locked devices from Samsung? I usually get my devices from my carrier to finance them on my bill. So I doubt I'd be a buyer for any international (exynos) versions of future devices from Samsung.

I had read that the note 7 from usa carriers were fully root able? But I never had one, so I don't know for sure.

So I guess my question is, do you folks who are "in the know" about this more so than I am, think locked bootloader (ie: no root) is the future of Samsung devices now?

I have to be honest, if that's the case - I'll be forced to look at alternative devices that will be fully root able. Experimenting with roms, tweaks, etc... That's part of what attracts me to Android devices over the fruity competition. So bottom line for me anyway, if the Galaxy S8 and/or Note 8 will have locked bootloaders and no root and development for those future devices, I'll have to consider alternative devices.

I ask the question because I'm sure there are people here who better understand the industry better than I do.

Thanks for you time in reading my insanely long and complicated post. I look forward to reading your replies and speculation to what the future of Samsung devices hold for us.

Many thanks!

The way of the future
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] ShrekOpher:
Phones have had locked bootloaders for a while. They may used to be able to be hacked. Not sure to security improvements they have basically become unbreakable. This combined with many of the great XDA devs from the past taking jobs to help prevent hacking the phones had lead to the phones being completely locked down.

Unless some new talent steps up and figures out how to unlocked them and get around the signatures xda it's dying. For most users is just to much effort to get an international model or too much loss in cell service, because of LTE bands compatiblity.

The days of rooting phones and flashing custom software are going away. This is only further being pushed by the convenience of tap and pay and the fact that it will most likely never work on modified devices.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Araltd:
Buying international version for me at least, is not "easy" like simply getting from my carrier with monthly payments. Well if the bigger name brands like Samsung are going to have unbreakable locked bootloaders in the future released devices - that is really disappointing. I see development is strong on some of the smaller brands like OnePlus.... I guess it may be time to look at other devices. SAD DAY FOR ANDROID FANS IMHO.

Thanks [MENTION=5635420]briann_cs[/MENTION] for building and posting this awesome ROM. It's absolutely beautiful, and I love the all the custom settings offered. I managed to get it installed after several failed attempts. But I've noticed issues with the ROM; they're pretty minor and I've managed to work around some of them.

First, the Phone app force closes when you try to open it. Calls are able to be placed and received through the Contacts app though, and call quality is still good.

Screen recorder doesn't work from the quick settings toggle or the power menu option.

I'm on MetroPCS, but in the quick settings it shows the connected network as T-Mobile. APNs are configured for Metro and 4G/calls/texts work fine, so I'm not sure what why it is showing the wrong carrier.

In the settings, my internal storage reads -8GB used. I installed a file manager and it shows the same thing.

It did freeze once about an hour or so after I flashed it, but it booted right back up after a force restart. I can send logcats for any of the issues if they aren't reproducible.

Thanks again for your development on this ROM!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] crystal_clear:
many months ago, once i unlocked my device, i chose to install the htc shipping rom onto my device, banishing the dreaded orange one forever!

i actually called htc - to enquire why there was no access via their club, to rom updates - they informed me that i would only be able to get updates from my TSP (orange UK) this was another reason to change the rom, as orange are backward in coming forward with new releases.

They also informed me that only HTC supplied devices, were eligible for rom updates via the HTC club.

Can anyone please lend me a log on - so that i can update my device with orginal HTC updates, as i think there is new updates there, but not being original HTC - i see nothing...

your help would be appreciated...

(private message me if you can assist me) so as not to broadcast your log on details...
