For those concerned about the lack of Do Not Disturb (which is implemented via Phone Manager), there are many apps in the Play Store that offer this functionality, a number of which are free.

The removal of Phone Manager was a purposeful decision - as far as I am aware it isn't possible to ensure all notifications are received while keeping this application in place.

Sorry if it's a little off topic but I visited your blog Mike and was trying to work through your instructions for cooking roms.

I have got stuck with with using the Huawei Update Extractor tool I can only find the Boot.img and not the System.img in the B029 rom from your link. Any clues please.

Pretty sure I'm missing a simple step somewhere.

Thank you very very much it is work perfectly

You can't change the DPI in build.prop. For some reason Huawei override the value present in build.prop in a script inside the init.61262.rc file, which is present in the boot.img. In order to modify the dpi I had to unpack the image, rewrite the script and repack it.

What DPI do you want? The default is 560 (set in V1 to V2.1) and I have set it to 440 in V2.1 (440dpi version) and V2.2. A DPI of 280 would be ridiculously small.

Mike
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] ivanox1972:
Is in your rom implemented small middle huge screen size option?

I like if you can make 2.2 rom on stock dpi and also 640 dpi! I need it due not best eyes... Of course if not so big problem
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] mwarner:
I won't be making any more ROMs until official EMUI 5 is released, as I am using my Note as my primary device so can't easily develop. You would be best to use V2.1 until that time, which has a Default (560) DPI version.

[MENTION=3548602]mwarner[/MENTION] btw. I have played a little in emui 5 beta : disabling phone manager disables battery and notification settings. You can not access them from Settings. Is this same in your rom
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] mwarner:
I'm not sure what you mean by "disables battery and notification settings".

Everything works perfectly in my ROM asides from Do Not Disturb, as that is implemented by Phone Manager.

Mike
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] ivanox1972:
Ok friend. I simply freezed manager and result is, besides do not disturb not work, you loose battery item in settings and no way to access it. Also in apps advanced settings not possible to access notifications settings to choose any item of this. Your rom has same settings items as stock? Maybe is nougat more restricted?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] mwarner:
I see what you mean. There isn't any options in settings that take you into Phone Manager, as it's not there. Notifications all just work, without the nonsense of having to enable those you want to work and restrict others. This is the main reason I got rid of Phone Manager in the first place.

Can you try somehow to get battery and notification settings after killing phone manager? Do not disturb can be replaced by other apps but those things above are really needed, for me...
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] mwarner:
I'll release a version with Phone Manager left intact for you when I make my next ROM.

For my interest, what do you use the Battery settings and Notification settings for? I guess Battery may be useful if you have a rogue app, but why would you want to disable notifications?

Mike
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] ivanox1972:
OK, boss don't be angry. I think is good to have some battery stats as we have now with manager. Also customizing notification appearance is nice to have. In the moment I use stock rom with disabled powergenie ( it dims some main app, ultra stupid idea). Disabling it give me all thing except power intense apps classification, which is acceptable. I have all notification of apps moved to system partition, this works perfect.

Added Version 3, which is based around B332 - Android 7 / EMUI5

Please ensure you are on Stock B332 before installing & have wiped the Data Partition in eRecovery so it it mountable inside TWRP before flashing.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Egramf:
Walkthrough?

Is there a walkthrough? I can't find the option to wipe the Data Partition in eRecovery.

Power off the device.

Boot into bootloader (To do this hold Volume Up + Power Button and release all keys when you see Huawei logo).

After that, select recovery (Use Volume Buttons to navigate and Power Button to select).

Click on Install.

Navigate to the directory where you placed the downloaded files.

Select the EMUI 5.0 TWRP recovery and swipe right to flash it.

Then, head back to TWRP recovery’s main menu and click on Reboot» Recovery.

Once in the new recovery, click on Install and navigate to the directory where you placed the downloaded files.

Click on Install Image button located below (Now you will see a B320_boot.img file).

Click on it and swipe right to flash it.

Next, reboot into TWRP (Reboot» Recovery from TWRPs main menu).

After reboot, click on Wipe» Format Data.

Type yes to confirm format (The process will take very long).

Abort the process (Hold Power Button for 10 seconds and the device will restart).

Quickly press and hold Volume Up for 3 seconds to boot into eRecovery.

When in eRecovery select Format Data Partition. (There is no option to Format Data Partition)

After the format is complete, power off your device.

root

Hi there,

I read on the forum that it was possible rooting easily flashing this twrp (https://xdaforums.com/p9/development/twrp-t3565703) (small precision : even if it's written for p9 someone tried for honor note 8 and as it's based on the same chip it worked smooth apparently : source : https://xdaforums.com/general/gener...bootloader-t3488142/post71690549#post71690549) and then flashing supersu for emui5, is it compatible with this rom ? and would it by the way permit to just flash the rom without all the process ? As it seems to manage decryption properly ?
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] mwarner:
While the process you quoted is correct, it is rather long winded for what is required here. Basically:

1. In TWRP, go to Wipe & press the Format data button. Immediately hold down the power button until the phone turns off.

2. When the phone boots back up, at the normal Unlocked Bootloader warning screen, hold down Volume Up for three seconds to boot into eRecovery

3. Select Format Data Partition and then shut down the phone.

4. Boot back into TWRP & flash the ROM

This whole rigmarole is required as the current version of TWRP for the Note 8 does not properly support an encrypted data partition. Hopefully this will be resolved in future TWRP builds.

The reason you have to initiate a format in TWRP, but kill it half way through, is to mark the Data partition as Corrupt. If Data is damaged, eRecovery will display the Format Data button. Once formatted correctly in eRecovery, TWRP will be able to correctly flash the ROM.

Mike
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] Egramf:
3. Select Format Data Partition and then shut down the phone.

I don't have this option. I can only select

1. Download latest version and recovery 2. Reboot 3. Shutdown

When I Select: Download latest version and recovery

Next option is Download and recovery

There is no: Format Data Partition

Have I made a mistake somewhere?

Also to add I get an Error: 7

This package id for "frd" devices; this is a "eva".

[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] xIf22raptorIx:
Well just for information i rooted mine very easily, I'll do a quick tuto there :

- first flash this twrp (https://xdaforums.com/p9/development/twrp-t3565703) through adb (if you have the device error problem follow this (https://xdaforums.com/general/general/fix-device-offline-using-adb-t3359890)

for those who don't know how to do : enable usb debugging then connect your phone to your computer open a command window in your adb folder and type <adb reboot bootloader> (bootloader unlocked required) then while in bootloader type <fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.0-0-eva.img> then <fastboot reboot>

- now once your device have booted up copy the supersu zip from this thread (https://xdaforums.com/android/development/how-to-install-honor-note-8-emui-5-0-t3567576) into your sc card. type in adb <adb reboot recovery> you should enter recovery than go install select supersu and swipe. then wait, then reboot, it should reboot once or twice then SUCCES you're rooted

For those who already know those thing the quick tuto :

- flash this twrp : https://xdaforums.com/p9/development/twrp-t3565703

- copy the supersu archive from there in sd card (https://xdaforums.com/android/development/how-to-install-honor-note-8-emui-5-0-t3567576)

- flash it in twrp and reboot

- well done

little precision i'm on b332

I can't create thread so if someone can do it for me it would be nice.

Thanks
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] xIf22raptorIx:
As said before you have to possibility,

- you use a version of twrp that don't manage decryption so you have a 10+ steps procedure to root (https://xdaforums.com/android/development/how-to-install-honor-note-8-emui-5-0-t3567576)

- you use a version of twrp that manage decryption and you just have to flash supersu and twrp will automatically install the good boot.img. (the post i did just before)

both works.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & O] ivanox1972:

EMUI 5 battery life

As i wrote recently: "Dont update to B332, there is some battery bug, android Nougat drains battery at most! Nothing helped, wipe, hard reset."

Now there is a solution, it was because of SD card. Remove SD card, switch off phone and from recovery boot wipe cache, wipe all data/hard reset. After installation is complete, wipe cache again. Now, format your SD card in other phone or PC and after format insert into Note8 phone. After inserting into Note8, format SD card in this phone as well (I did it so). And now, complete, no more battery drain! Probably there have been some android files from previous firmware (EMUI 4.1, B29) and they caused problem with instant battery drain.

HwSystemManager.apk is the phone manager.

The APK of powergenie has power genie in its name.

Powergenie was buggy in emui4 and killed even app you allowed to run in background. I do not know if there is still the same issue on emui5.

I have never had any excessive drain caused by phone manager on my side.

Edit :

To remove them you can root your device then remove the APK (with total commander or a terminal app)) or freeze with titanium or link2sd (I had some issue in emui5, honor puts app in non standard location and I was unable to freeze, had to remove manually).

Another option is to cook a custom ROM, but it is a bit more complicated...
