I put up a new build (12/11) on the original post of this thread. After building it I also attempted to add Substratum support to a second build. Please note: I may have failed miserably. It could be broken. If someone that wants Substratum wouldn't mind being a guinea pig and test it out, you can flash the "unofficialsub" build here, then report back if the theme engine works. Thanks

To be clear- if you don't want to test out this beta Substratum build, download the new LineageOS build from the first post in this thread.

It is still very early in the 15.1 development cycle. There aren't even official LOS 15.1 builds for Nexus devices. I understand people want the latest and greatest, but patience is necessary.

Also- please don't download random files from youtube. They're always malware.

Widgets without connection

Any of my widgets are able to connect to internet (nor data nor wifi). And if I try to check the uploads, it shows error too.

Do you know why is this happening or how could I fix it?
[Huawei GX8] CommanderMamado:
first of all, thank you for the great work its amazing...

my request is to advise how to root ? as i already made the normal root using SuperSU-v2.46.zip with twrp and made clear cache/dalvik and I get stacked in the opening screen without being able to log in my devise for more than one hour.

Quick question: wich version of TWRP is the appropiate to install this ROM 3.0.2.0 or latest?
[Huawei GX8] Bortex19:
I had problems with the lastest, so maybe 3.0.2.0 is better
[Huawei GX8] areswargod:
Thanks for the Rom.
[Huawei GX8] sigmarelax:
Should be fine to flash the zip and reboot. If your data is critically important, make a backup before updating.

To the other posts- everyone should be using this TWRP: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70296158&postcount=79

edit: Dirty flash (ie without wiping data) worked fine for me. Just be aware first boot takes a while. After flashing it went from recovery into "Safe Mode" (no third party apps) for some reason, but that is easily fixed with a reboot.

[Huawei GX8] Franko30:
Hi everyone,

after a long battle trying to unlock my phone with fastboot in Ubuntu 17.10 (forgot to allow OEM unlock in the developer options on the phone...) everything worked (almost) fine:

I installed twrp-3.2.1-0-rio.img but it would not let me install the lineage-14.1-20180117-UNOFFICIAL-rio.zip - giving a status 7 error and stating that it is for RIO-L01 etc. phones but that my Huawei G8 (RIO-L01) is just "Rio".

So I followed these instructions:

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2522762

and edited the updater-script.

Finally I was able to install Lineage OS on my G8.

Everything except NFC works fine so far (have been testing it just over an hour), the sound seems to better than with stock ROM and as expected the camera doesn't work as well as in stock ROM. But finally I have a current security patch level and much more!!!

Thanks to the people working on this!

Hello,

I already have the 7.1.1 version. It would be ok to flash this ROM without wipe any data?

I will do a backup first, however.

Thanks.
[Huawei GX8] sigmarelax:
Yes, "dirty" flash should be fine. First boot after flashing will take a bit.
[Huawei GX8] Sustia:
Thank you very much for your reply.

That means that I will not lose any data or app, isn't it?
[Huawei GX8] sigmarelax:
You shouldn't lose anything, but nothing is guaranteed. Backups are a good idea.

Yes of course, backup first.

Thanks a lot!

how to flash stock rom for huawei g8 ??? please respond :)
[Huawei GX8] Bortex19:
Just like any other rom.

Are there any news about LineageOs 15 for this device?
[Huawei GX8] Sustia:
Good question, I'm interested also ;)
[Huawei GX8] sigmarelax:
I have not looked at LOS 15.1 yet. It is unlikely that I ever will. I've heard official 15.1 experimental builds start getting posted this week. I think camera (old v1 setup) changed a lot, so that might be an issue for the G8.

I posted a new 14.1 build. If anyone wants to try building 14.1, you can use the build script (on a capable linux system) here: https://github.com/sigmarelax/LineageOSscripts. It is very easy for anyone that is even slightly familiar with linux command line. Perhaps after learning to run a build, someone else could figure out the necessary changes to build LineageOS 15.1 for the G8.
[Huawei GX8] Bortex19:
New build flashed and working perfectly. Thank you Sigmarelax!

I do not know anything about builds, but thanks for share :good:
[Huawei GX8] morrows:
Thanks a lot for your efforts, I don't know anything about build rom but if there any guide or learning to start from I can give it a try.
[Huawei GX8] Franko30:
Thanks so much for the February firmware! It works wonderfully (just without NFC) and now I finally have it on my G8 as my everyday system!

Camera works, too (used Gapps pico and now the stock camera as well as Camera MX work as well as with Huawei's system).

Great work!

[Huawei GX8] Bortex19:
NFC works perfect for me
[Huawei GX8] kimtyson:
Yeah. Sure it is.
[Huawei GX8] Bortex19:
Nice answer! Are you always so arrogant? I can use NFC stickers without any problem. That's why I wrote that the NFC works on my mobile
[Huawei GX8] Franko30:
That's interesting - I had it installed on 3 G8 phones (one of them I bricked unfortunately later) and NFC worked on none of them...

Cheers

Frank
[Huawei GX8] Bortex19:
I've not tried sending files by Android beam, but the stickers works. I have only installed this Rom, SuperSU and the google apps.

Maybe I can upload a video or something if you want
[Huawei GX8] Franko30:
Now this is embarrassing... I did a clean install again with just the February firmware and the Open GApps Pico and now NFC works - installed my Data backup again - NFC still works. Good for me and thanks for your answers that made me try again.

But I found a pattern that might/could be an explanation: the phones on which NFC doesn't work are the old original G8 ones and the one on which NFC now works is a later model when they changed to other displays (colder colour temperature) and changed the name to GX8.

Frank
[Huawei GX8] Bortex19:
I'm glad it worked for you and you can enjoy the NFC. I think your explanation may make sense, because when I bought my phone, it was called gx8. Anyway, I think the change of name occurred not to be confused with an LG mobile phone that was called the same. So, from what I understand, there were no changes in the mobile features.
[Huawei GX8] gorsani:
this rom is really broken because it has a problem (brightness or frame per second )which causes permanant screen errors , it might not happen to you but you really dont want to risk it.
[Huawei GX8] morrows:
Is there anyone else face this problem?
[Huawei GX8] diaracing:
One week with it and nothing bad for me so far
[Huawei GX8] Franko30:
Yes, if it is the same problem I had that with the older, original G8 phones I tried the firmware on: Most of the time you're luck when the screen turns on after unlocking it. Sometimes the screen would turn on for a second but be unresponsive and then slowly go black from the outside in.

Until now I thought this was a hardware problem (one of them had it with the original Huawei firmware already).

But with the newer GX8 on which I'm using the firmware now, this problem doesn't occur.

The G8 and GX8 phones definitely have different screens: the G8 has warmer colours and the GX8 a cooler, sharper screen (with both Huawei firmware and Lineage OS).

Cheers, Frank
[Huawei GX8] gorsani:
my screen has a huge yellow spot on upper left side, i noticed screen is too bright with this firmware which may caused it.

Also it does not happen immidiately you have to actively use the firmware.

EDIT: apparently opengapps believes the lineageos is version 6 rather than version 7.1. I'll go back to stock since I need this phone as a daily driver, but I wonder if anyone else had the same problems.
[Huawei GX8] Franko30:
1) In the first post it says: Requires Huawei's MM bootloader - have you been on that before switching to this Lineage OS firmware?

2) Try not using the "newest TWRP", but the one recommended to me (and others throughout the thread) by sigmarelax. Find it via this post: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75673401&postcount=111 - it's the one that works although it is version 3.0.2-0 ...

BTW: Im using my GX8 as a daily driver and it's great! At least as long as you disable all the "start on bootup" and "run in background" options for most of the apps in the settings for the main memory. Otherwise battery drain will be high.

Re Flash to stock firm

To solve your problem you may have to download Stock firmware from sam mobile.com. Re-flash device using Odin3. Ive been dealing with a similar issue, and have had to do this several 100 times over the course of 3 day. It should solve your boot loop problem, but whatever else to are trying to do i'm not sure.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fediir:
Hello milesg86.

First of all thanks for your advice. But I think it will not help me.

I'll try to explain why.

I have already checked the latest firmware version for my device for my country on sammobile.com - it's N910HXXS2DQC7.

It's the same version that I reinstalled using SmartSwitch http://www.samsung.com/us/smart-switch/ .

Could it be the bug in firmware ?

Should I check some logs ?

Could you suggest how to check mmc fail ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galixy:
Did you install a specific app or update before the loop occured? However it smells like a defect mainboard. Here is the deal: You can try root your phone (if the factory reset worked there should be a OS on your Note 4) and flash custom recovery like TWPR. Then do a FULL wipe through it and flash the OS you downloaded again through ODIN mode. Dunno how experienced you are with it but keep in mind you do it on your own risk and the warranty is gone (if you still got it anyways.....)

What is the benefits from TWRP wipe ?

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galixy:
Has been a while that i used TWPR but i guess, when you trying to do a full a wipe it's telling you anyways if the device is not rooted?

TWPR does a FULL wipe, which means your smartphone is "empty". It wont boot then because there is no OS anymore, so you flash through odin (hold volume down, home button, powerbutton) your stock firmware. On Note 4 i never had an custom rom, only on the old Note 2 and CM rom was pretty nice. I think they stopped working on CM but i am sure you will find a stable version for your phone right here in the forum

It only stays on with the charger cable connected, if i remove it, it goes to bootloop.

On the note 4 ive tried 4 different batteries, they all say samsung but not sure if they're oem from samsung. But i also swapped the mother board and also same thing happens , so its not the mother board thats damaged cause I tried 2 of them and same issue.
