[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rak500:
Ha anybody tried Xlefmade TWRP with this ROM? I have farily odd behaviour with Grarak's TWRP: I cannot see folder past a certain level. At the moment I cannot see my Backup folder neither in the TWRP Backup section or in the Restore either. When browsing on my pc via Rom, I can see everything, but when MTP Enable in twrp, I cannot see nor create forlder in the SD card.

Any help will be awesome!

Apart from that, the ROM behaves perfectly, it's awesome!
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] wangdaning:
Sounds stupid, but have you mounted /data partition?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] rak500:
Yes! And it's not stupid, you have no way of knowing my TWRP proficiency, and it's a good question, but yes, I mounted all partitions, it's just that past 2 or 3 folder levels, I can read or write anything to the folder. I get a Failed to make Folder I/O error.

So I can see TWRP/Backup/ but nothing further in TWRP, but if I mount all partitions, and browse the folder when MTP is enabled, I see everything in windows, and I can RW.

It's very odd. I'm tempted to put Xelfmade TWRP to see if I can backup the data, but I'd like to make is safe first...

0038 baseband here.

roms shows on 3g no signal but according to apps i have good receiption
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] wangdaning:
Something odd. I switched over to your build from Grarak's because I lost phone calls (data/sms working fine). It was all good after switching, but suddenly today I realized it had happened again on your build. I clean installed and am trying to work out piece by piece what I might be doing to cause it. Been using your build a few weeks with no issue. I am pretty sure it is something I have done.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] GNUDroid:
did anyone got any chainfire supersu build / zip working on the nova?

i use the official lineageos su at the moment. want chainfires supersu since better app compability. e.g. autostarts app is not working with lineageos su but chainfires.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] wangdaning:
Chainfire's SU does not work on this device. Only thing keeping me hopeful is I have dragged this device on the ground (literally and figuratively) and it still is alive. If you install chainfire's SU, in my experience, it will boot, but it wont have root. It fails in TWRP. It cannot patch the boot.img properly. Magisk also cannot work for some reason. It installs fine, but you cannot run any modules. I think it is kernel related, but I have no time to help with that so I am not going to even try (looking for a new job and have a wife and child to support, sorry if I sounded rude).
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] GNUDroid:
exactly same experience for me with supersu and magisk. for me just official lineageos addonsu works. also not here linked one from first post. (with that just root for adb but not apps).

so let's wait and be patient for rom and su updates.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
If you flash phh Superuser, you have to install it's apk too: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.phh.superuser. This is mentioned in it's own thread.

The root options (such adb, apps) from Settings > Developer Options are meant only for LOS's SU as far as I know.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Vinnom:
The problem is not superSU. It is kernel compression. About magisk, probably its developer will need our boot.img so he can add the needed things to magisk so it become compatible

[MENTION=4806022]HEnkat[/MENTION]e could you try to speak with Chainfire about kernel compression?

When I had a moto x2, I couldn't flash supersu on it because of kernel compression (the dev said this to me and, in his words, was Chainfire who said it to him).
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
I guess i can speak with him, but first i would take a recovery log to see what it fails to do. I havent tried to flash SuperSU or magisk yet (never tried magisk) and thats not really my priority since the rom itself has some issues which must be solved.

The next builds will come with LOS`s SU by default which can be removed with addonsu-remove-arm64-signed.zip.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] icutzo:
+1

I would also like to try LOS on my MLA-L03 and see if that works !!! :D

Hello, I try did you find any solution for the LTE problem? I'm on RR but I have the exact same problem
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Yohannj:
I have tried some change in bulid.prop but without results. I also want to flash a different modem version, but i don't know how, it's not a simple fastboot command like "fastboot flash modem modem.img".

For now, i come back to stock because i don't have time to try something more and i need 4g for working.

I think I will have more free time in August

Good luck !
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] GNUDroid:
oh man. let's hope someone find a way to flash modem/baseband via twrp (liked it very much at Samsung s4 mini). to flash stock ROM + again unlock, flash twrp, recovery custom ROM would be a long task. :(

I wonder if one could extract modem.IMG from stock and make it somehow flashable?

since s4 mini had such a big user base, an own modem thread existed. .... and surprising: they made a big difference on standby (but just on a fully debloaded, greenified, wakelock optimized ROM with deep sleep times >90% at online)

... back to topic: should we communicate our baseband version in every post related to network? I'm on 00038, G3 shows no reception but actually works.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] wangdaning:
Modem img can be extracted from update.app and flashed in fastboot. I have done it. I am not sure it will help you guys though. It must be something else causing this issue. Maybe logcats of when you try to turn on/off network? It is so weird as it seems very sporadic in who is affected by it.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Yohannj:
When i was under lineage, i have tried to flash modem.img extracted from a marshmallow update.app over my nougat baseband, fastboot return me an error message ... i'am pretty sure that i have flash a good img file but if you say you have done that, i will try again later...

I have made a logcat of LTE problem earlier in this thread, and I have trying to find the problem but without succes, my knowledge is not enough :(
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] wangdaning:
I never went to nougat. Is everyone with this problem coming from nougat? Only advice I could think about, what I would do, is return to mm and try again. Sorry, my knowledge is not really better.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Vinnom:
Not related to nougat, as I tested and had no problem. Henkate had no problem too, I think and he tested coming from nougat if I'm not wrong.

hey im stuck on patching system image unconditionaly... I factory reset and wiped data and i dont have backup, I am on nougat.plizz help.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
What's your Nova model?

The problem is that CAN-L11's partition sizes doesn't match with your model and that's why you're stuck at flashing.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Vinnom:
May be the wrong twrp too. I had this problem and was using xelfmade' twrp. When I flashed grarak's, everything worked fine
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] GNUDroid:
[MENTION=4806022]HEnkat[/MENTION]e: any chance you will release an updated "intermediate build" until the video recording is fixed?

i mean we could already test some things as partly reported no signal indication (a bug for me, but receiption works), a bug that the spell checking does not switch if keyboard language is switched. and i'm very curious what hotplug does to the device performance/battery.

so a "beta" of the next build. - but just if you have one ready. At least i'm excited to test.

best wishes and many thanks to you!

---------- Post added at 06:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 AM ----------

by the way bugs: i do not know if it's a bug. tried to convert/format /data partition from f2fs back to "old school" ext4. even with a factory wipe i got an "encryption error" on boot. does anyone have a link for me.

background: f2fs is ment to be much advance for flash memory but actually if processing a lot of small files ext4 is much faster (you expirience this if loading appfreezer apps or updating busy box,...). therefore i want to go back to ext4 on data
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
Currently, there are following changes:

ROM:

- 1 July 2017 security patch

- switched to Snap Camera (quality seems to be much better as I've said in one of my previous posts)

- fixed NFC

- fixed Dual SIM - thanks to [MENTION=5678064]Yohannj[/MENTION] who for this

- added open source GPS HAL, ipacm & ipanat

- added libcryptfs_hw (haven't tested encryption)

- added more blobs: OMX, IMS, CNE / DPM

- disabled LiveDisplay by default

- got rid of CM Updater since we don't have official LOS

- cleaned up a bit the ramdisk

- increased ZRAM to 1gb and applied other changes/settings as EMUI 5 (in my opinion, multitasking seems to be better)

Kernel:

- applied a patch to allow 200 swappiness (for zram)

Those are the things which I'm supposed to test in today's build:

- GPS

- FM-Radio

- recording / video playback

That's all the changes. The other bugs are still there...

Regarding ext4, I'll have to add support for it in fstab and BoardConfig. I'll do this too, but I'm not gonna test it as I'm tired of restoring the stuff from internal memory.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Wahbax:
Any hope for the front camera bug on some devices? Have you been able to check out the logcat?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Vrbanc:
I tried every twrp I can including grarak twrp,my model is can-l01 and i download firmwere from grarak twiter acc,im stuck on recovery now.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
I haven't really checked the logcat yet as I find the video recording / playback issues as a priority, since camera is working fine on my phone and other's people.

Maybe you won't have this issue with Snap Camera.

how is the progress on los13 or los14?

with both sources still the same camera/video problems?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
I've just built los14 successfully few mins ago. It boot, but when the bootanimation ends, the screen becomes black and stays like that. At this moment, I'm making an eng build, so I'll be able to take a logcat during boot.

I haven't worked on los13 since I've started to work on los14, but los13 will be updated.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Asbi12:
Everything working great except camera

First things first, thank You for the great work on this ROM, so much better than stock.

The only thing that does not work on my phone (CAN-L11) is the camera, I only get "Can't connect to the camera."

I had EMUI 5 / Android 7 / C432B320 before, but downgraded like suggested to EMUI 4.1 / Android 6 / B100, with the TWRP backup.

In the older version, the camera worked, so I followed the directions for flashing LOS by wiping everything and then flashing.

Still, the camera will not work.

Maybe there is some change in the camera firmware between the stock Android 6 / 7 ROMs and this is not included in the TWRP backup?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
I've flashed and restored los13 backup from Nougat and I didn't have any problems so far, so I guess the android version doesn't matter when you flash this ROM.

I never had this camera problem which you and other people encountered. There are people (including me) who doesn't have that camera problem, while others has it.

A new build will be available today or tomorrow and it has Snap camera, so maybe you won't have that problem anymore.

[MENTION=4699730]Vinnom[/MENTION], if I remember properly, you're the one who've asked/said about SuperSU/magisk before in this thread or RR one. Few mins ago, I've seen this post. That guy is saying to use ext4 instead F2FS because their kernel is missing some F2FS patch and that's why the magisk isn't working. I've tried before a F2FS patch, but it didn't solve the problem. Perhaps I did something wrong (I doubt though). I may check it again.

I may add ext4 support for /data in the next build, but I'm not sure about that since F2FS is faster.

Cant wait for you to upload new updated lineage os? , we nova user only can hang on to you for new rom ? , sorry for my broken english hahahahahah , even im not using can l11 but i still can flash this rom on huawei maimang mla-a10 4gb ram 64gb storage without getting any prob ( maybe got some , stock camera app is a bit darker then another camera app , im using footej camera and the quality is so nice but im more hype for the snap camera haha) ( and sometimes music will stop for 0.3sec if u notice) . im using magisk on this rom , we cant flash magisk 13.0 using twrp idk we or only me hahaha but im use magisk with superuser not supersu , so magisk hide will not working , to use magisk , first u need to download magisk 11.6.zip , then flash it , after that u will get root acces , then open latest magisk manager app and install magisk 13.0 using the app, then the app will update ur magisk to 13.0 , base on superuser so magisk hide will not working.. , and I have a question , why cant we use our stock camera app ? ? , so many feature on stock camera huawei then 3rd party cam ?? sorry hahaha , and thanks for serve us ur best work , cantt waittttt ahhh hahahhaha

I see. Magisk i didn't try yet, it is one of the things I wanted to test but i forgot [emoji16]

I'm wanting to try that new build of yours. It would be great if the camera problem get solved for me, as I like stock Android feel rather than emui approach. Emui isn't bad though and I really liked emui 5 but as it seems it is beta, some things there annoyed me.

About f2fs and ext4, somewhere once I read that f2fs is really faster but only for small files and ext4 is better for bigger ones. Idk, I have to check benchmarks and some real tests to have a better opinion about this. In daily usage, I have no idea in how much would affect us for real (besides placebo).

OT: little OT here, sorry about it. About the placebo, I already read here in xda an article about tests with toolchains which a hard user made to see if anyone of them really made difference and he came to a conclusion that it doesn't. Google stock toolchain does the same that linaro and others [emoji57]

The links of device and vendor tree has been updated.

There are some screenshots attached at the end of this post.

CHANGELOG:

NOTES

Tomorrow a new update will be available for RR as well, with the same changes. Then i want to build Slim6.

Once I get my phone back, about a week, I will immediately install this.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Shazliey Azizan:
Im using your new rom , just update from previos version 2/6 , camera recording using snap is a bit darker , compared with footej camera app , other is good , nice job keep it up ?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
Interesting. I will check for more details/information's about this. There are already some benchmarks on XDA, but I didn't look into them. My previous phone (Galaxy J5) has ext4 by default and when I've tried f2fs on /data, the phone felt way smoother.

Regarding toolchains, there are many ROMs/kernels built with custom toolchains. I've tried many toolchains when I've built the kernel for my previous phone and I think the phone felt smoother with one of them or it might've been just a placebo. Since then, I'm sticking with Google's one and won't change that.

There are some ROMs which use custom toolchains though. One of them is Slim6 which is using linaro toolchain 4.9 as far as I remember, but of course you can build it with Google's too.

Haha. Excited? :D

Well, I'll try to look into it. I think this is "common" on cm though, but if it's better with Foofej camera, then I guess something may be wrong.

You've said about stock Huawei's camera in your previous post. It might be possible or might not, but that would require lots of time since basically it needs to be ported and I'm not willing to try that (at least that's how I think at this moment).
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Vinnom:
Will test new build ASAP.

Read some articles and tests about ext4 and f2fs and it seems f2fs is really much faster :)

The new build is great, good performance when using many apps simultaneously, f2fs for /cache is working, dual SIM out of the box without editing build.prop. Very nice!

Unfortunately for me, still no camera functionality on my device, snap camera UI initializes, but after a few seconds with no image ever showing up, it just crashes (fc).

I have recorded a logcat with catlog from just before tapping the camera app icon until right after the crash:

Camera problem

I think I know why some people have camera error and some haven't .

It coz Huawei use different parts in huawei Nova, for example I have imx386_liteon back camera and hi843s_ofilm, but some users from 4pda.ru forum told me they have both camera Imx (Sony) or both omnivison, some have boe display (like me ) some tianma and some jdi ( was one man who have chinese 4/64 black version with jdi display and both camera by Sony )

Wow! I didn't think about that. So basically, it is driver problems. How can we solve that? :/

[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] #Henkate:
Hmm, I guess it could be. There are many camera blobs, but not all of them are present in LOS (if I'm not mistaken) and I've noticed that there are many with different sensor name or something.

I've attached screenshot with mine.

[MENTION=4867541]Asbi12[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4699730]Vinnom[/MENTION], can you check too? The app is this one.

Since I've made this post, I want to thank to [MENTION=4867541]Asbi12[/MENTION] for his donation. Two days ago, I've checked my email and then seen a mail from PayPal saying that I've received a donation. I was like: "wtf" since I've never expected a donation :D. I really appreciate that!
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Asbi12:
From looking up some errors in my log file, I also found different sites naming different sensors for CAN-L11, but could not find a definitive answer if Huawei uses more that one set on the same phone model.

There are some other phones with different camera or fingerprint sensors on the same model number, so it is possible and it does appear to be the case with our phone by looking at those device info screenshots.
[MENTION=4699730]Vinnom[/MENTION] I seem to have the same camera sensors as You. Although somehow they have swapped camera IDs / are in opposite order than on your screenshot and the one with other sensors - I guess your's was taken on stock ROM by the look of the status bar?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Vinnom:
Yeah, I came back to stock after testing henkate's builds. As I can't use camera, I'll stay stock until I can :)

And about the sensors, I see. In my device, camera 0 is the main and camera 1 is the frontal one, right the opposite as yours.

[MENTION=4471434]#Henkate[/MENTION] now that I think of it, my frontal camera works, so it seems only main camera needs its blobs (this ov12870_sunny from OmniVision)
