There are two versions of b361 Full Firmware available - one is here (b361) : http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G753/g104/v56223/f3/full/update.zip

If you have current TWRP installed:

You can download this Firmware. Then you can download Huawei Update Extractor: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2433454

Extract RECOVERY.IMG (not recovery2.img) and flash it with ADB. Disconnect USB from device and with Vol+ and Power Button boot to Stock Recovery. Then look if it works - Wipe Cache Partition - if it works successfully you can update your Firmware with b391 (hopefully it works with one of the two links I found in previous post) so you have a lot to download.

Hello friend, after a few days the rom goes great, your german user who came from cm had a problem? Following all your steps is all perfect
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] 00471:
sorry for late reply, i didnt notice, yes im using your new rom and as always its awesome, you are the only active developer for this device so, and i think i can say that, we all are very glad for that, CM13 is probably never going to be done, people there dont have time and this device is not so lucrative to spend much time on it, so i really apprecitate your efford, thank you
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Good morning lespaul

All good. The German user has no problem. He just wait for feedback about GPS function in new MagicArrow Rom, because he need it for his job all the time.

If this work properly, he comes back from cm to my new Rom

Hi guys, I'm willing to try new roms to see if I can still keep my phone. Is the battery drain any better with this rom? And what about the camera and the phone overheating when charging or playing games? Thank you for your work btw, from an Italian follower
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Its mandatory for GRA-L09 vto install b398 first!
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
If you do the steps guided in Post #1 everything is good
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] nomadcrysis:
I run the installation as written (first stock recovery--Update to B398--installing TWRP and Flash V2)... The rom is very fluid and the battery life is excellent compared to V1.. This was a great job also because only useful applications were included... really good...Congratulations to Tecalote.

Extreme battery drain for me.

[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
In this case you didn't install the Rom correctly as I guided in OP. (Post #1)

You must update your Firmware to b398 before flashing the Rom.

After you must wipe the partition cust, data, cache system, Dalvik /Cache.

If you don't do this steps (having old Firmware b391 or older in Background) then you have your bad result.
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ceres:
I did all steps.. i'll try flash rom again

Inviato dal mio HUAWEI GRA-L09 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
First install Stock Recovery and then flash again b398.

After make a Factoryreset! Factoryreset and Wipe Cache Partition with Stock Recovery is a necessary step

Then flash newest TWRP (linked in Post #1)

and flash Rom again.

Use my Guide in #1 and do not miss any steps
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] lespaul79:
The battery is perfect, of the best of the ROMs I have tried, I installed b370 with root only, unroot, installed b370 stock recovery with fastboot, start stock recovery and did a factory reset, update to B398 with dload three button method, I installed the new twrp with fastboot, started twrp and did wipes, reboot twrp and install arrow v2, I followed all the steps of @ tecalote for the notifications and everything goes perfect including the battery that is very very good
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Thank you for your feedback :)

Maybe it is necessary to start from b370 to get best results. B370 is a Firmware which makes wipe automatically, all higher Firmwares don't do this..

That means Users of Arrow v1 should go back to Stock b393 and downgrade to b370, then upgrade to b398.

Maybe its also enaugh to go back from Arrow v1 to Stock b391 and then upgrade to Stock b398.

But directly upgrade from Arrow v1 to Stock b398 is maybe not good.
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] lespaul79:
Thanks to you, I am really satisfied with the results, every day more happy with his new rom

Battery drain

hello i have a huawei p8 gra-l09

i have do all you described in the installation guide but nothing...

my phone drain a lot of the battery, only listening the music eat 1% of battery every 4 minute.

before installing this rom ( v2) i do all you describe ( everything) and now i use greenify, but nothing!

please can you help me or suppose anything about this problem ?

now i will try to calibrate the battery.
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] jbmir:
Hello, i can't restore folders and icons disposition from Huawei Backup and Titanium, the folders disappear....

Thanks
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
I do it since P6 to P7 to P8 to P9 from Jelly Bean to Kitkat, from Kitkat to Lollipop, from Lollipop to Marshmallow and finally from Marshmallow to Nougat (on P9)

I haven't one time the problem you said.

Of course, Desktop Layout can only be restored if you have same Theme at the moment and same Apps installed as before.

Look at Screenshots.
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Maybe, hopefully this helps...

It's very interesting for me to see that battery life is very good for the one's and very bad for the others.

If it would be bad for everyone, I would say - okay, something is wrong with the Rom..

But this isn't the case. That's why I ask myself - how can this be.

And I think now it's maybe an issue of Firmware History.

Perhaps it must be done as following:

Users of Arrow (v1) - back to Stock b391, downgrade to b370, upgrade to b398, Factoryreset, install TWRP, make wipes, flash Rom.

Users of MagicRaibow (v2) with Battery Drain - back to Stock b398, downgrade to b370, upgrade to b398, Factoryreset, install TWRP, make wipes, flash Rom

Since Huawei don't tell anymore which Firmware needs which Firmware before, because of OTA political decisions...

We must experiment what brings + and what makes -
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Xda mdq:
thank you for answering.

now i calibrate the battery and i will see if the consumation is normal or not.

if all this doesn't work i wiil try to restore official firmware and do all you write.

you can see my actual consumation stats in these images
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Ammar_:
Hi,

I have installed this ROM few hours ago on my GRA-UL00 and it's amazing! So many good features and implementations on this ROM, but I have stumbled upon few minor issues but are slightly annoying. First, the 3g/4g icon would not show up near the signal indicator in status bar unless you turn mobile data on. Back on stock it used to show up regardless whether mobile data was on/off. Also it shows HSPA which is technically still 3g as 4g. Second, the font in weatherunderground widget is oversized for some reason, didn't happen for me on stock. You can check both the weather widget font and status bar signal icon in the attached image.
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] jbmir:
Thanks! the problem was that the home layout(5x5) was different in the saved restore(5x4)....Solved!!!
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] walnew:
after installing c185B391 stock firmware (no firmware more than that for me) and then installing your ROM build number shows C185B389

I think it should be 398 as your rom based on it....????

I have a huge battery drain ... any solution??
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Did you make wipe of Cache Partition and Factoryreset with Stock Recovery on b391? This is an necessary step, before flashing TWRP and did you make the recommended wipes before flashing the Rom?

It shows you b389, because I included the cust for all models which were available at releasing the Rom.

So if you are on cust 432 it will show you b398.

Maybe battery drain which some users have is related to the cust implementation.

I am planning to make a Relaunch of MagicArrow v2 with some changes.
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] lespaul79:
Hi Sir, I experienced a single problem, yesterday I started to load my p8 in off mode, and when I went to turn it on I had only charged about 30 percent in 9 hours
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Okay, it seems there's a fault somewhere.

Wait please for the Relaunch of the Rom probably in one week.

I must look.

could you please tell which App you had used for calibration?

I know also two good ones, but I am interested, which you have used, thanks
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Xda mdq:
you welcome ...

in my opinion it isn't the app that give my this abnormal differce of duration of the battery but the passage that i doed after the calibration.

the app is called ( battery calibration), the app's icon is the android robot with a percent.

if you would to see the passege that i doed you can read here:

Sure friend [MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION], I don't have any battery drainage problem, the only problem I experienced was when charging in off mode, the problem was no doubt that it was not your original charger, when loading it back with your original charger everything was perfect. That said [MENTION=7578299]Xda mdq[/MENTION] they should do it all, I always do a battery calibration when I install a new rom
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] akupac:
Little problem here. Followed all the steps untill the Safetynet bypass check, and it's green on AdAway, but not in MagiskManager. There, is displayed: "ctsProfile:false; basicIntegrity:false". As you advise for block apps, I don't know if it is OK.

Note: the MagiskManager didn't come installed with the ROM, so I had to download and install it.
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
If Magisk Manager didn't come preinstalled, your data partition was not mounted correctly during flashing the Rom. Because the Rom includes the Magisk Manager, also in Magisk Manager the SELinux Permissive Modul, which is required for K-Settings and Busybox xds as Magisk Module, which is required for that work the system correctly.

Did you wipe the partitions as I guided in Post #1?

Did you enable USB Debugging and Reboot after first setup?

Did you check the md5 of downloaded Rom?

Did you install the Safetynet Fix Module from Download section of Magisk Manager and install?

Safetynet must be green and this is always the case, if you make everything right.

Please read post #1

And I wrote also, enable systemless hosts in Magisk Manager, before enable AdAway hosts

Please check and reply again :)
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] akupac:
Didn't do that. The rest is OK. I'm gonna check the md5 and download the Rom again. My file is from some weeks ago and I've been transfering ir between devices...

Now I'm stuck at TWRP. Sometimes when it starts, the touch doesn't works and after a little while works again. In TWRP, is the "Zip file signature" check option the md5 test?

Tks for the support and for the Rom! :highfive:

---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 PM ----------

I've checked the md5 and it is different. My file is dated 8 august, I don't know if it could be a different version. I've checked with the md5 information present in the download link of the magisk version. The download is finishing and I'll flash the ROM again.

Which steps should I repeat from the install guide?
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:

So now, I'll wait for Arrow v2.1 :)

I had to redo the calibration: something strange happened during the night, P8 was turned off this morning :( Let's see this time.

Small problem... OTG crashes me the cell... Arrow V2...

---------- Post added at 11:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 PM ----------

I think I solved... you must not give as default Mixplorer

---------- Post added at 11:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------

Basically I deleted MiXplore as a system app reinstalled as a normal app... Now it's OK
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
The idea was good :good:

But you must look now - Mixplorer came with VLC Codecs (Player) and Reader (PDF) and packer (zip /unzipp)

Problem is, the Addons are no more open license since short time.

There are new versions now on Playstore for selling.

The new Version of Mixplorer is free, but it don't work with the older plugins.

So, if you used the apk from the system App Mixplorer of my Rom to install it as User App, all versions are working (cause I looked for team working versions)

But if you have a newer version, then the add-ons don't work.

I tried to integrate Mixplorer as User App.

But Huawei P8 has problems with preinstalled User Apps.

Sometimes they would not be flashed during installing the Rom
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] nomadcrysis:
MiXplorer I didn't take it from the play store but from another site and it's full but before I made a backup.

I read comments about battery drainage ... and first of all what we must do is to congratulate [MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION] for continuing to work on our P8 and creating great roms, this ROM is very good, the battery is good maybe not for all , But surely following the new instructions or the next update of the ROM will improve, I for my part I give a thousand thanks to the developer

Actually I didn't have much time to test more/deeper, but for now everything seems to be working (well, except my sim-contract being deactivatet but thats a thing the new sim should fix tomorrow morning :) )

Battery lifetime is awesome by the way, I think it is much better than gratitude before, and gratitude was allready better than stock, great Job! :good:

But: i think i made a mistake with the dropzone "error"-message thing: It is just a hint, that some App was blocked by the Settings to be displayed. I was able to take a screenshot, gonna edit it to the post later from my phone.

One thing is strange though: it states, that (Facebook)-Messenger was blocked by dropzone Management, but at this time there was already a contact Floating on the Screen (dropzone active).. It is neither annoying nor Pops it up on a regular Basis or whatever (today only one); i was just curious what it might be.

What so ever, the Rom is absolutely fantastic, super smooth and battery drain, expecially while screen is off (primarily at night) is the best i've ever experienced on a Smartphone so Long. Thanks also at KangV!

Edit: Edit from xda app doesn't Support Picture upload btw
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Thank you very much for your feedback - and btw thanks to all Users for their feedback :)

Now I know exactly what you mean and here is the solution:

It's a permissions issue in Notification - can configured with a little trick

1) Go to Settings /Apps and below in the right corner open the menu - use: showing system processing

2) Find K-Settings and kangvip.res

3) Go inside and to Notification (in both)

4) Set up all the shown options

See screenshots

I am happy by myself about the good working Rom and the likes from all those Users:)
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] NandorHUN:
Hi dear OP!

Have I made a modification, or the ROM changed the "Pull down on the home screen search" ?

Alternatively you can use the Google App. Long Pressing the circel in Navigation Bar opens the GSearch

[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Hello :)

Installing Xposed Framework DON'T brick the Phone!

Its a part of the K-Settings, install it from there.

(arm64 SDK 23)

In Magisk Edition are two options. Xposed from K-Settings /Xposed Settings - install Confirm = Wanams Xposed (System-Mode) or instead from Magisk Manager (arm64 SDK 23) =systemless Xposed Framework

The Restart of the phone needs about 10-15 min! Everything written im OP :) After this long Reboot everything is working very well.

The font style menu is working if the Rom is correctly installed.

Try to boot to TWRP, go to Wipe /Advanced Wipe and wipe Dalvik-cache and Cache (Restart the same 10-15 min)

Which phone model to you have?
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] wfonz:
Clean (I had a mess with files before so I decided to wipe everything, including storage)

At the first time, k settings worked

Now they won't open
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Do the same steps I wrote here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71177256&postcount=45

But do some steps more - go inside this window also to "Memory" and delete there data and cache.

Do this with K-Settings, kangvipres and also with the App "Settings".

After you delete it in Settings, Settings switch away.

Reboot your phone and it should work again.

Some settings has to be setup new, like Developer Options
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] wfonz:
Did everything, they won't open anyway ?
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Okay, then boot to TWRP - look, if the Settings there are correct (Time Zone, allowing modification on system, Language...) TWRP is connected with K-Settings and after a wipe of the internal Memory it is necessary to Reboot TWRP (restart /TWRP) before flashing the Rom (otherwise it would not installed as it should)

If the settings are correctly, just reflash the Rom without wiping anything, except Dalvik, Cache. (Wipe only this two)

This should solve the problem (you loose no data)
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] wfonz:
I did everything and didn't work. So I wiped everything and flashed the rom. K setting open, so I installed systemless xposed from magisk and then the problem showed again.
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
This is very strange! At the moment I have no idea what could be happened -

1) which TWRP to you use? (it should be the one from OP)

2) which Phone Model to you have?

3) With a Root Explorer navigate to /data/system/dropbox

There are Logs - send me all those logs packed in one zip file (upload it here - reply, go advanced, manage attachments)

I find a solution as soon as possible
