Hi - you need correct (!!!) twrp and flashable supersu - if you don't know where/how to search, i urgently ask you to read more about flashing, recovering etc until you understand what you are doing! You find both items in Letschky's Androidhost-Repo: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=172733

Ok so thank you for the answer and the link

I downloaded everything i needed but now how i have to do is a small guide to seuire step by step not to go wrong

Still give patience

I put the Unlocker code with cmd now tells me bootloader unlock

I did not understand how to install the TWRP and where I find the program

How do I install it?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
Look nice, can you upload a No Manager version for 3.1?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] MarkAndroid:
I followed the guide when restarting the application is not present among the installed applications.

I have root and use mixplorer instead of ES File Explorer

I tried to put it directly into the system/app and system/priv app folder

I tried to put it in the vending folder in system/app and system/priv app

I tried to rename it Phonesky.apk

I have given permissions to the folder drwxr-xr-x (755) (yes execution)

I have given permissions to the application -rw-r-r-- (644) (no execution)

The playstore is not installed!

If I try to launch the apk installs but reboots disappears between installed applications.

I was wondering if this rom has the same problem as the regular one: battery drain became really massive.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Fozzee1970:
i don't have any battery issues.

---------- Post added at 09:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 PM ----------

You don't need supersu you just need to unlock the bootloader and use twrp.

How many hours of SOT do you have any day?

I tried with no SD card and still have no more than 4, with the "phone idle" sucking the **** out of my battery.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] MarkAndroid:
Hello,

what can I delete to have more space available in rom and integrate the applications I want in the system?

I only have a few free MBs.

When I move APK from data / app to system / app, do I have to move the entire folder with OAT and LIB subfolders, or can I just move apk?

Thank you
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Fozzee1970:
I don't really look at that stat as the phone gets some charge at different times of the day. I can tell you the on screen time in real life use for me is no worse than any phone I've owned before.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] mwarner:
I wouldn't suggest deleting any further Huawei apps, but delete any of my integrated Google apps to make more System storage.

There should, however, be no need to move anything into System - follow the instructions linked to in the first post and your apps should not be killed in the background.

Mike
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] MarkAndroid:
Hello,

I use the original ROM, I asked you why you are a "genius" and you have been able to get APP google into the ROM (the only google app has a size of about 120MB!).

With the first post instructions, when I close a recent app, it is also automatically closed by apps in the background. As I often use mapping tracking apps, I can not risk closing the app unintentionally, even if locked with the padlock.

What files can I remove from the original ROM? I only have 4.5MB free in system!

Thanks again for the answer
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] mwarner:
There are multiple Google apps included in the ROM - e.g. Photos, Music etc. You can delete any you don't want ....

... however, are you sure you have followed the instructions in my Blog Post? If so could you provide me the steps to reproduce this issue? I have been running with the Note 8 and my ROM as my primary device and have not experienced any issues with app closure.

Mike
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] MarkAndroid:
I followed all the steps I mentioned.

Try downloading from google play this application:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tappytaps.android.geotagphotospro2

Once the application starts, press rec to start recording.

Without blocking it in app recents, try deleting it from app recents and you'll see that the app closes and does not work in the background (see also that the status bar icon disappears when it is closed by recent apps).

This with all the programs that should work in the background:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobidia.android.mdm

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.maptrek.lite

etc. etc.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] mwarner:
I have reproduced your issue - killing the app on the Honor 8 kills the underlying service, whereas on my Xiaomi Mi Max running Lineage the service is retained when the app is killed.

I couldn't find a way around this i'm afraid. I guess the workaround to this is just not to kill the app from Recent Apps. I personally never kill any apps - I just let the OS manage memory. I can see that the app could get unloaded by the OS if you opened lots of additional apps, so I guess you just need to be a little careful if you are running something in the background like this, or lock it in the Recent Apps list.

Mike
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] MarkAndroid:
Unfortunately, even blocking the application in recent times, every now and then, after a few hours, are automatically closed, I do not know why!

By installing GeotagPhoto and OruxMap in the system, though they do not block the app, they are always open, with the icon in the visible status bar.

That's why I wanted to have more memory available in the system. In order to be able to insert my apps that should never be locked automatically, even by mistake.

If you can understand this big problem of HONOR, we will be grateful to you :)

[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] mwarner:
Not having posted in this thread for 9 days hardly makes me inactive :)

I do plan on making a B350 version of this ROM when I get the chance. As the Note 8 is my main device, i'll have to transition to another first before restarting work on B350.

Mike
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Fozzee1970:
Mike can you please help me with a guide on how to get back to stock?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] mwarner:
Read the first post.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Fozzee1970:
I have where does it tell me how to revert to stock?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] mwarner:
From the first post:

NOTE: It is a requirement to start from the same build that the ROM is based on (B027 for V1, B029 for V2.x and B332 for V3.0). We can revert to a Stock ROM by booting into eRecovery and updating via WiFi.

Mike
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Fozzee1970:
I am currently on your rom and want to return to stock. That method doesn't work it fails.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] mwarner:
Ok. That's what I've done previously. I'll take a look when I get the chance.

[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] cms062407:

[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] ozzy lion:
This ROM looks interesting.

Its a shame it needs bootloader unlocked...

I'll wait for the latest build before trying I think.

Thanks for your hard work. Do I have to downgrade from B352 to install the latest version 3.1? If yes where can I find the B332 Rom?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] mwarner:
I haven't tried it on B352 to be honest - I'd be grateful if you would try. I'm still using my Note 8 on B332 as I don't think there's much I'm missing out on. It's also rather more tricky to create a Custom ROM using B352 as I've got to combine the OTAs.

One day I'll give it a go, but as the Note 8 is still my primary device In don't want the downtown.

Mike
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] coco1476:
I will give it a try this weekend as this is my daily device, I just hope I won't get into trouble. I will give you an update on the results once I try it. Thanks
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] coco1476:
Sorry for the late reply. I have tried numerous times to get my bootloader unlock code so I can root and install your rom but it gives me the same error everytime, "the Huawei I'd hasn't been valid for 14 days" even though I had the phone for over a month with a valid Huawei ID. I tried contacting Huawei with emails but they told me that they cannot give bootloader unlock code by email. I really don't know what else to try
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] coco1476:
Hey Mike, just letting you know that I talked to my wife into letting me play with her phone since she could get the unlock bootloader code. First I tried twice to install over B352 and I had no icons at all, so couldn't do anything with it. Then I installed B332 and everything is perfect now. So coming from B352 is not working. Hopefully when you have time to build a B352 it would be awesome because your 3.1 runs fast and smooth. Thanks again for your time and hard work

[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] GT725:
hello, I tried it via erecovery but unfortunately he breaks me down without even loading.

If I go over the Hi Suite system update he offers me to switch to another version which I would like to do. He downloads the file I choose to restore. He installs the file and starts in twrp. here are two error messages and nothing happens next.

hallo, ich habe es versucht über erecovery doch leider bricht er mir da ab ohne auch nur zu Laden.

Gehe ich den weg über Hi Suite Systemaktualisieren bietet er mir an zu einer anderen version zuwechseln was ich auch tun möchte. Er lädt die Datei runter ich wähle wiederherstellen. Er Installiert die Datei und Startet in twrp. hier gibt es zwei Fehlermeldungen und nix passiert weiter.

I just got my phone yesterday and as soon as I turned it on and connected it to Wifi, the system found an update. Now I'm looking at a fully stock EDI-AL10 on B356. Do all the previous directions on how to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, and flash the Google Integration ROM still stand regardless of the update? I've noticed the last update was for B332, and that there seem to be different version fof TWRP floating around. If I follow all the instructions on the first post for the B332 version, should I still be OK?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] letschky:
Flash Stock Recovery before you make this Procedure.Or via Hi Suite working Restore to B030

Du musst das Stockrecovery flashen bevor du über das Erecovery wieder herstellen willst.Was manchmal passiert das es beim ersten mal nicht funktioniert,dann ins erecovery und nochmal machen,dann funkt es 100%ig

Oder über über die Hi Suite kannst du zurück gehen auf eine frühere Version,B030 gehts dann zurück glaube ich,aber das sollte ohne Stockrecovery funktionieren,also du kannst Twrp drauf lassen.

I bought an Honor Note 8 last week and the ROM version is B031 (Build # EDI-AL10C233B031) and I hate the current EMUI (VER. 4.1.3) and Android 6.0.

[MENTION=3548602]mwarner[/MENTION] thanks for great effort- we really needed some custom rom here

however, I am on emui 5 beta- I hope you can make your rom for it also, could be interesting...

You said deleted powergenie and phone manager. i also freezed powergenie on 5 beta without any problem, prevent stupid screen brightness drop in some apps. But phone manager? I saw that freezing it leads to use do not disturb mode for example, have you solved his?

thanks
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] mwarner:
The removal of Phone Manager outweighs any advantages of keeping it IMHO. If it is kept, we cannot guarantee that we will receive all notifications.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] mwarner:
Did you perform a Wipe in TWRP before installing the ROM?

Also, were there any errors displayed when installing the ROM?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] ivanox1972:
Can you try to implement 5 beta same as b29. A am now on emui 5 bootloader and stock, I will check, test?

After 3 days using emui 5, looks to me that such rom should be perfect : only problems I have there is due to too big restrictions made in emui 5 by OS. And your rom canceling this...

[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] mwarner:
I'm not sure whether I will create an EMUI 5 ROM until we get an official release.

Now I have made an EMUI 4.1 ROM that suits my needs perfectly (V2.2) I am moving from using my Xiaomi Mi Max to the Honor Note 8 as my main device. You can't easily develop a ROM if it is your main device, so there is a reasonable chance that I won't be making a new version until April & the first non-Beta EMUI 5 ROM is released- unless something particularly interesting happens in the Beta builds.

Flashed V2.2 successfully as well.

Got some strange errors in TWRP (could not unmount /system ? and after flashing something about eMMC ?) and the first reboot hung.

After powering off and on it rebooted normally and luckily nothing was wiped.

My DPI is still 480 though. I changed that with the stock ROM so that setting is apparently persistent.

Also the Huawei Camera is now working fine! It does not distort the viewfinder anymore in landscape mode and I can also switch between the modes without it hanging!

I have removed the Weather Clock, so this will be the issue. As I don't have the 'dot view' style case I haven't taken this into account - sorry!

Sorry Mike.

Didn't mean that to sound like a complaint, far from it.

It gives me an excuse to buy a new case ?

I was going to follow you blog instructions to try making my own rom but you have done such a good job with this one I don't need too ?

You must have done something wrong, I don't have those apps.

Keep trying it's worth it.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] cashif:
Am so tempted to try out this ROM but dont want to waste my time restoring my apps/messages (Have more than 30000 sms) as I will have to redo it as and when EMUI 5.0 is released.

Hence my request to Mike, if possible, develop a ROM based on EMUI 5.0 beta. Will even skip final Nougat ROM if the proposed beta EMUI 5.0 is as well integrated with google as the folks here claim.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] mwarner:
It's unlikely I'll develop an EMUI 5 ROM until the final version is released - sorry! From tomorrow I'll be using the Note as my primary device, so don't want to keep wiping it while testing.

You could always take a TWRP backup of your current System and Data partitions so you could return back to your current setup & test out my ROM in the meantime.

Mike
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Flavio:
No I did not because it takes way too much time to re-install all the apps and settings.

But wasn't the System formatted when this ROM was installed so shouldn't these Chinese apps be gone?

I cannot uninstall them either.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] mwarner:
There is an additional "Cust" partition on Honor devices that is intended to store additional apps used by service providers etc. I suspect this is where your extra unwanted apps are located.

I don't think there is an option to wipe this separately in TWRP, but I've not really looked & I've not got the device on my at the moment. If you do a Nandroid backup you should see it in the listed partitions though.

Mike
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Flavio:
I can see the Cust partition in the TWRP Mount page.

Is it safe to mount and format or delete?
