[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] bfm.95:
Hello,

I'm thinking to install ROM on my 3t just saw a lot of roms here and want to ask you guys what's the best ROM which it better than stock?
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] daniel4653:
Simple answer since this thread will probably get locked down by moderators. There is no best ROM. Read up on ROM threads that catch your attention and try them out. See which one fits your needs or wants.

CleanRom

Version 2 is now Up !

​

Here's what I did, I removed all the AT&T bloatware and most of the Google Apps

while adding Root / Busybox / Nova Launcher / A custom EMUI 5 theme / and a couple of useful apps

We Fixed the IMEI problem and everything is stable Thanks [MENTION=7934375]madvane20[/MENTION] for your help

~Download For B160.v2~

~Download for B160.v1~

​

Flashing instructions.. You Must already be on the Correct firmware. (If you need to get to B160 Click here)

CleanRom will Wipe your internal Data partition ...Make sure you have a Backup !

You must Mount - System / Cust and Data before you start the install. After install wipe cache / dalvik and reboot.

As Always Make a backup before you flash in case anything goes wrong

Important: After you setup your phone boot to TWRP and make a Backup - I found a bug where Play Store and FireFox just Stop working (won't open)

If this happens you can restore your backup and everything works again.

Thanks [MENTION=3952783]skuly[/MENTION]

Get themes here >> https://huaweiemuithemes.blogspot.c...00-08:00&max-results=20&start=8&by-date=false

Make a folder on the ext_sdcard named HWThemes and put the file's in it. they end in .hwt

Same folder is in the internal storage if you don't mind them taking space their

IMEI Changed

Just flashed this and my IMEI changed. I flashed the B150 Backup and my number returned. I saw in the other thread this was happening but the issue still is still in this build at least. The rom looked good for the 10 minutes I was using it!
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] jg1210:
I had the exact same issue. Unfortunately and quite unusual of me, I didn't make a b150 backup, but my imei returned when restoring your b150 pre root backup from your other guide. The rom was pretty smooth for the five minutes I used it though.

Also thanks for the b130 to b150 update guide! I followed all the directions and went from b130 to b150 without a problem!
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
Sorry for the inconvenience I'm Pretty sure it's fixed now if you would like to try it again ...I appreciate the Feedback
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] divineBliss:
Thanks! I found that site before you responded and was hoping there was something better. I had tried putting the .hwt file in the local/external SDs in both HWThemes and the .cache folder, and the theme just would not show up in the Theme app. I got it to show up by putting it in /system/themes . Tried again today and now it's working fine just putting the .hwt file in external HWThemes folder :confused: . Which theme file is shown in OP?
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
Sometimes a reboot is needed for the theme's to show in the Theme app.

The theme used in the ROM is called OTA_black.

[MENTION=6065620]divineBliss[/MENTION]

[MENTION=2895182]clsA[/MENTION],

Note: Please correct your first link - it's not the 5X thread.

Thanks! I'll have to check out the other two links. Didn't care for OTA black because it's doesn't display the text description of each category in the phone settings window, just a small icon. This black theme is what I finally settled on:

[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
link fixed - check out VUi in the 5x forum

also the OTA black does have descriptions in the Settings screen just use nova to set the font to off white
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] divineBliss:
Which font would that be? Seems like a theme that doesn't require me to do that additional step is the better implemented theme.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
It's Nova that's overrides the Font

Not the Theme
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] divineBliss:
Doesn't happen with other themes and AFAIK Nova Launcher does not affect fonts outside of itself, so I don't know where this comment comes from. Tell me the exact steps in Nova to change the font for OTA black then, as I don't see anything in Nova Settings :) . Been using Nova Launcher for years.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
I set the font to off white in Nova settings
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] divineBliss:
Man, there's multiple different places to set fonts in Nova Launcher, that why I said "Tell me the exact steps in Nova to change the font... " :) .

I'm not convinced Nova Launcher font color affects phone settings font color. Show me a screen shot after you change it to red. Besides, non of my Nova fonts are black anyway.

EDIT: WELL GOSH DARN :) .. I thought I figured it out, but no luck :( . Anyway, I'm good with the N theme I previously mentioned :) .

Did you ever find a correlation between Nova Launcher font color change vs phone settings font color by trying to change the font color after my question about this?
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
No the CleanRom comes with 6 theme's to choose from, the OTA black is set by default. It works fine. The Nova App drawer font color settings needed changed to match the rest of the OTA Theme.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] skuly:
I'm curious how performance/battery/ram usage has been for people who have used this rom for more then 72 hours.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] divineBliss:
Since everyone uses their phone differently, I would say that the best thing to do is try it for yourself and see what difference you experienced. :) But it would still be good for others to respond to your question. I don't use this ROM, so don't have any data for you.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] guest_2011:
Did you get rid of the Huawei UI and replaced with Nova or it's still in the rom? Looking at the pics seems like didn't free up much storage space.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
It didn't free up much because the AT&T bloat and the Swipe keyboard are all on the /cust partition which can't be used for user apps or storage. All that's actually removed from the system partition are the Google apps and Facebook and Amazon.

It's a budget phone with a limited amount of user data space. You want more space buy a 32 or 64gb phone
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] guest_2011:
I'm not sure what cust partition does. I assume it'll be the same with any custom rom?
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
Yes the partition table is set by Huawei

Each partition is a set size.. flashing Roms doesn't change that
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] guest_2011:
Impossible to resize partitions or just that one cust partition?
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
not impossible. but risky and very little gain ..maybe 2 gigs tops

you can see the free space in each partition in the picture below

what are you going to take from to add to userdata ?
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] guest_2011:
I don't understand development and the risk but 2gb is a lot to gain, especially for this phone.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
look up at the picture I posted where you going to take from ? Cache ? System ?

not worth it to me .. you have 8.8gb - 2 more is nothing
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] guest_2011:
I thought take from cust if it's the largest one?
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
cust is the smallest = 512mb

If you take from cache apps won't load

if you make system too small the system apps may fail to update
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] guest_2011:
Oh ok then. Maybe someone can try it down the road and see what happens. Would be nice to get as much internal space as we can.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
Go for it .. I don't re-partition phones it's just not worth it

enabling and moving app and game data to the Ext_sdcard would help

but it's still limited.

Look into Folder Mount or link2sd for more ways to use storage on your phone

I'm not skilled. Don't know dev. I move everything movable to ext. Still have 2gb internal free, the more i install, the more it lags.

Dude it's a $49 phone .. it's not going to ever work like a $400 - $800 one

The main job for this phone is streaming and social media and content consumption, it's not a gaming device
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] guest_2011:
Who says it should work as as 400-800 phone? I'm trying to understand if internal storage is recoverable or not. If not, then i'll think twice next time before buying a Huawei phone. Not long ago a rooted and debloated a $10 8gb phone and i did gain some space which was nice. This seems different.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
if you have 6 gig of apps and games on this phone and it lags, that is telling you to stop installing stuff and start thinning it down

I put maybe 2 games and 5 - 6 apps on this thing total

Also dump the data hogs, use facebook lite in place of the full version

same with games stay with just one or two at a time

you can gain some space by turning off the Magazine unlock

and moving all the themes to ext sdcard

[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] divineBliss:
I don't think it's possible with this phone. I tried unsuccessfully to use Folder Mount app. You can use the extra micro SD space to store map files for offline use for apps like Google Maps.

[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] skuly:
I installed the rom a few days ago and the whole reason I finally installed this rom is because stock rom got so laggy after I'd used it for a week.

So far this rom seems to have a lot better performance.

When I first installed the rom Play store wouldn't launch after my first reboot. So I installed playstore from HERE and it didn't fix it but when I went to settings>Apps and disabled playstore it asked to uninstall playstore and restore the default so I did that and then re-enabled playstore and everything has been fine since then.

I don't think downloading/installing the playstore apk from that link had anything to do with fixing it, you can try first disabling playstore and see if it restores the factory/default , if not then maybe try installing the one from the link and trying disable again.

So far the phone hasn't been lagging like stock was but I think I might need to give it a few more days because stock was fine at first too but then was always eating ram.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
You'll find rooting disabled the swap (zram)

And the ROM will not suffer the lag that stock does.

Disabling Phone Manager will also help a little bit. But I leave it as a quick cache cleaner

Thanks for the tip on the Play Store fix I'll give it a try if mine acts up again
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] skuly:
I might of had to do the same thing with firefox but I didn't install firefox from an apk like I did playstore, so maybe installing playstore from the apk wasn't even needed

So yeah I'm guessing playstore updated itself and firefox and then broke, and disabling them removes the updates.

[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Gungho-sd:
I can't connect or use any bluetooth keyboards or gamepads with this device, and I'm wondering if it has to do with this simplified version of the ROM. All these bluetooth devices work with my other android phone, a BLU VIVO XL. For instance, a VR controller and a bluetooth keyboard both pair and connect on the Hwawei Ascend XT, but I can't do anything with them on the screen or for typing, or for gaming.

An xbox wireless controller gives me the error "Couldn't pair with xbox wireless controller because of an incorrect PIN or passkey." There isn't even an option to enter a passkey. My BLU VIVO XL connects to the xbox controller without even requiring a passkey.

Is anyone else having these issues? Is it related to the ROM? Is there a fix?
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] divineBliss:
Broke out the bluetooth keyboard to do this test and ............ yes, with my stock B150 rooted/Xposed ROM I am able to connect to and use my BT keyboard :) . I had to enter the BT passkey displayed on the phone using my BT keyboard for it to connect to the phone.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Gungho-sd:
Cool, thanks. But here's the important question. Were you ACTUALLY able to type using that bluetooth keyboard on the Ascend XT? Are you on the B150 clean rom, or the B150 stock rom? Thanks again.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] divineBliss:
use = type ...... So yes, typed, and did other stuff with special buttons on the keyboard including home, search, play media ..... just to name a few :) It would have been boring for me to just connect and not actually try the BT keyboard :p
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Gungho-sd:
Hah, true. But which ROM are you on? I'm trying to investigate if the clean rom is causing the issue.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] divineBliss:
Go back and read my initial response ....... it's all there :)
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Gungho-sd:
OH YEAH my bad, I missed that. so it could be the clean ROM that is causing my issue. Hmm?, I wonder if I need to revert back to stock rom :/.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] divineBliss:
Dunno :confused: . Can you do something simple like pair to another device and transfer files between them?
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Gungho-sd:
Yes, I can transfer files AND receive files on the Huawei. I can also connect to bluetooth speakers. I just can't seem to interact with a bluetooth keyboard and two game controllers (although they pair via bluetooth), all of which work on another one of my android devices.

But you're saying you can type on the device using a bluetooth keyboard, so that's promising. I'm thinking it might be a rom issue.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
Being Bluetooth works with some devices and not others it makes more sense its the keyboard your using than the Rom.

you can test restoring the stock /cust and trying it again all the files you need are posted in my guide
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] divineBliss:
Tried your Bluetooth keyboard on a different Android device to make sure it works there first?
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Gungho-sd:
I restored to stock b150 rom from my twrp backup. That didn't fix the issue, but you're right, it could be particular bluetooth device, despite it working on my two other android devices.

---------- Post added at 11:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

Hi, yes, it worked on both my nexus 7 2013 and my Blu Vivo XL. It's a pretty garbage bluetooth device, however, so I ordered another one on amazon to see if that would work.

As for my xbox one wireless controller (which i wanted to use for testing purposes only), I'm still getting the following error: "Couldn't pair with Xbox Wireless Controller because of incorrect PIN or passkey." This error occurs on my nexus 7 2013 as well, but on my BLU VIVO XL, the xbox wireless controller can connect and function. There are many posts online about this issue with android devices, so I'm looking into that as well.

In any case, I recognize my problem is off topic. I addressed it here, since I thought it could be a ROM issue. But now, I suspect it's not a rom issue, but rather a bluetooth compatibility issue between the external device and the phone. I'm going to give another bluetooth keyboard a shot when it arrives tomorrow.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] divineBliss:
Gungho-sd,

Did you also restore the cust partition as clsA suggested?
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
If he's using the new TWRP the backup would include the cust partition
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Gungho-sd:
I looked up what you're referring to and found it on page 6 of this thread, but I don't believe that was directed at me. In any case, in order restore to b150 stock rom, I was required to uncheck the box "Mount system partition read-only" under mount on TWRP. And all 6 selections, including cust were selected. Is that sufficient? Does that cause the cust partition to be restored?
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
Yeah the old TWRP backups didn't include cust like the new one does. If you restore cust and system your stock and if your device is still not working it's the device not the phone.

This ROM only has apps removed.. all the framework and library are untouched
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] onlycash:
I have a question maybe someone can answer.

I have two "virgin" H1611 phones, only thing so far is unlocked sim.

Is it wise, or preferable, or unwise to try and get them to update to B150 naturally with an AT&T sim?

Or should I unlock the bootloader and install TWRP and get root before doing anything else and start with B130 and then get to B150 after?

I would like to end up with this CleanRom in the end.

So to reiterate is it ok to start with B150 and then install TWRP and get root to install the CleanRom or is it better to do it the other way.

[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Gungho-sd:
Oh yeah, I forgot to update you all. I tried two other bluetooth keyboards and they connected and worked. So my prior issue was a keyboard issue and not an issue from the device. Thanks.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] guest_2011:
If i had to do it over again i'd wait for a custom rom. Don't see any difference between 130 and 150. Didn't need, didn't care for 150. Did it because i put an active sim and my rooted phone downloaded update and started looping. Decided to try this rom. Not all of huawei annoyances are gone with this rom. Waiting for custom roms.
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] clsA:
You can try Bare Naked or theirs a resurrection remix on the forums if you can live without WiFi
[Huawei Ascend XT ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] divineBliss:
Which specific annoyances are you referring to?

---------- Post added at 08:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 PM ----------

Unless you are particularly wanting to spend more time doing things manually, I would suggest saving time and OTAing to B150 first before unlocking bootloader and rooting if you have the required AT&T/AT&T MVNO SIM.

---------- Post added at 08:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:05 PM ----------

There's no need to wait for a custom ROM. Unlocking the bootloader and rooting has to be done before flashing any custom ROM anyway, and we have no idea when there will be a fully functional and stable custom ROM. And furthermore, any custom ROM is probably going to require B150 be installed on the phone as a starting point/prerequisite.
