[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Tirbalak:
Hello,

My dad will be in flight to China in a few days, he will be in ShenZhen where I heard there is a big mall for electronics shopping, great for buying Honor 9.

So I have a few questions, Can he buy Honor 9 that is unlocked and in English? and, What should I provide him with the details of the phone? the EU model number? (where I live)

Any tips and advices would be most welcomed,

Thanks :)
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Tirbalak:
ehh Thanks, but I could just switch the ROM to a better one, or cant I?
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Better buy the EU model. Chinese model will give you problems if you're not chinese.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Tirbalak:
about 3000 CNY
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Tirbalak:
What problems exactly? in the telecommunications?
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Well some users complain that they can't remove some chinese characters even though selecting English as language.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Tirbalak:
Interesting, but can't I just install the EU model ROM? if there even is one
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
That is the solution. But as of now, there' s still no rebranding guide for Honor 9.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Tirbalak:
Yeah that doesn't really concern me at the moment
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Tirbalak:
about 385 euro but that's an estimate
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Tirbalak:
Hmmm yeah, I know think about ordering it from Aliexpress, the price will go up in about 40 to 50 dollars but that phone won't be sold in my country anyways because I am kinda in the EU and kinda not, we buy the same smartphone model as the EU one.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] jerryhou85:
As a Chinese, I do not recommend you to buy a China model of Honor 9 since you may have some issues with Google Play services and EMUI English UI... Google Play is the biggest issue by far with China models.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Tirbalak:
What about Hong Kong? should I buy there the Honor 9? if yes, is it global ROM?
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
HongKong is in China. So yeah. Pretty much a chinese variant too.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Tirbalak:
Are you sure? Hong Kong is like another country, it has western products and is pretty western by itself although it is in China and is connected to China it is still like another country.

I am pretty sure the smartphones there have google play, although to be sure I want to wait for the chinese guy's answer on this matter.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Not 100% sure. Yeah let's wait for his answer.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] jerryhou85:
I believe it is not officially sold in Hong Kong for Honor 9? Probably you will get a China model there as well...

If you go for Xiaomi, sure you can buy a good Xiaomi with working Google Play Services in Hong Kong.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
That's what I thought of.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Tirbalak:
ahhh ok, thanks
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] mdabar:
There are lot of chinese websites (or Aliexpress) where you can find the chinese version of Honor 9. Which main difference (and interest) is having 6GB of RAM.

However, regarding warranty you will still have to depend on chinese warranty :(

If you put the EU ROM, you may lose that warranty in case of having to use it... I'm not meaning I wouldn't do it if someone was going to China (because I would). But just think it before buying.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Tirbalak:
I see, I am looking through different smartphones and am open minded, I am looking for a fast and with long battery life smartphone so any recommendations are welcomed :)
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] mdabar:
That was exactly my point... I was waiting for the OnePlus 5. But I see it's expensive, they've increased the price too much in this model. Then I started looking different alternatives and the short-list was something like:

OnePlus 5

Xiaomi Mi 6

LG G6

Meizu Pro 7 (not yet launched, probably next week)

Honor 9

For appearance, specs and price, I've decided to order the Honor 9 this weekend.

Meizu Pro 7 is launching next 26th of July (next week), I'm very curious about it. But Honor will be home in 24h once ordered, while Xiaomi or Meizu take weeks to arrive coming from China, with the added risk of having to pay extra customs.

;)
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] felix168:
A Xiaomi Mi6 is a better phone than either the Oneplus 5 and the Honor 9. You will get much greater support with the Xiaomi and it won't come with jelly effect screen. Honor 9 is great. Love Huawei's product. However, if one is going to run into issues with Google Play, OTA, etc, why bother? Just my opinion.

For me, I'm just going to wait until Q4 to see if Honor will offer a U.S. version of the Honor 9. Otherwise, I'll just get an Honor 8 (same spec as the 9 virtually in all area but will be much cheaper). Still questioning why Xiaomi can't offer all LTE bands on the Mi6 like what they did with the Mi Note 2. Bummer!
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] mdabar:
I was thinking on the XIaomi Mi 6 for long time too. But then... Honor I'll have it in 24h normally after ordering and with European warranty (2 years!). While Xiaomi while take weeks to arrive, probably having to pay extra customs at arrival and then warranty less than 1 year having to send it to China :(

I had a problem with a chinese phone in the past...warranty worked well, but to use it I had to sent the phone to China (paying shipping) wait near 2,5 months to have it back and proving to the customs service that I had already paid initially for that phone.

That's my experience... and until I saw the Honor 9... I was close to order the Mi6 :P

If it was cheaper, then why not?!

English ROM for Honor 9?

Guys, I just bought a Honor 9 from China and then realized the Google Play problem. I am in Germany now and have no chance to return it.

I would be more than happy if I find a solution to switch to English ROM.

Is anyone already aware of an instruction?

Thank You,

Shahab

Honor 9 Official GAPPs Support for China Model (works for other chinese phones too)

Hello alL,

I come to bring you good news. I have managed to install google play store and other Google Apps on the Chinese version of the Honor 9 (WITHOUT ROOT).

For anyone wondering, here are the steps.

1 - Download this file to your Honor 9.

2 - Decompress the zip file and install "Google Installer_2.0.apk". Don't touch the other files.

3 - Run this app (the one with the chinese name) and confirm using the Green button near the bottom.

4 - Confirm all prompts for authorisation, ensuring you select "Trust app" to give it full permissions. This will install the core "Google Play Apps Suite" as a user app, meaning that you will be able to uninstall "Play store" by simply dragging it to the top. See 1st screenshot.

5 - Check if Google Play Store has been installed and is working. If android complains about "Missing GMSs", reboot and try again. If still you have problems, try downloading "GMSInstaller apk" from an internet mirror of your choice.

See attached screenshots for proof that it works!
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] battilory:
Take a look at my solution above. Guaranteed to work even without root permission and/or unlocked bootloader. Took me 5 mins.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
Does it work flawlessly?! If so, make a new thread in the guide section. It will be more visible to people with Chinese honor 9 :)
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] shahab_rohani:
Thank you. I have already solved the google problem with the help of my Chinese friend. One will find a lot of suggestions if google it in Chinese. The solution was basically installing the GMSInstaller and the GoogleInsaller.apk.

by the way, there are still problems with Chinese ROM e.g. the HiBoard app is only in Chinese, some places in Setting is only in Chinese etc. That's why I will try the rebranding sometime later. I am just afraid of doing that after reading the disclaimer in the Link jerryhou85 provided.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
Rebranding is kinda difficult, one mistake and you can end up with a dead device
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] jerryhou85:
It is something you have to take when you bought a Chinese model phone and want to customize it deeply... But if you follow the guide, mostly you will be fine. :cowboy:
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] battilory:
Yes, it works flawlessly, i've created the guide! Thanks!
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] PalakMi:

Hey! Gonna do the same thing as the phone won't be available in Iran apearently. Wanted to know if you recommend doing so? What are the problems with the Chinese rom? Can those issues be solved easily? Generally would you suggest doing what you did?

Any help would be e appreciated.:)

This game just won't stay open when multitasking. Is it the phone, or jusr the way the game is made?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] backb0ne5p1d0r:
A big part of the game is server-sided. It has to reload every time you open the game so that it gets the new settings and updates from Supercell servers. It's just how the game works.
[Xiaomi Mi 4C] BlackXhorneT:
Hi All,

Might be late to the party on this one but I thought I'd quickly share that the MIUI 8.5 stable builds for Aqua and Libra (Mi4S and Mi4C) are out on Xiaomi.eu as of a couple of weeks ago.

Links here -

Aqua: DOWNLOAD

Libra: DOWNLOAD

These are both based on 7.0 and as I've only flashed it on my Aqua this morning it's too early to give any real thoughts on them, but one thing I can say so far is damn it runs cool. Really nice for that!

If everyone already knows, then ignore. If not, try it out and enjoy!

My flashing process went as follows (coming from LOS14). Not necessarily the best process, but worked perfectly for me.

1. Flash android 5.1.1 dev build via MiFlash (the ones that allow for unofficial bootloader unlocking)

1a. Downloads for the aforementioned dev builds available here - AQUA - LIBRA

2. Unlock bootloader

3. Install Kumajaya TWRP (DOWNLOAD)

4. Wipe all partitions except system

5. Move stable build (linked above) to internal storage and flash through TWRP

Note, installing will re-lock your bootloader but this shouldn't be a big deal. If you want to unlock it again, the steps above will walk you through it.

Enjoy

Hello guys,

My friend got a oneplus 5 and it has a groove on the upper middle of the camera ring? Do you guys have it to or is it some mechanical flaw

sure it doesn't affect the glass now but I'm worried the glass is more prone to cracking now..maybe. Anyway today is day one so there is ability to get it replaced so let me know thanks!

That's so funny because when I opened the box it was like the first thing I noticed. And I thought, what the heck is that! It's definitely part of the design though. As somebody pointed out I guess it's for NFC. Which makes sense.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XEROling:
Hi all

I had an idea but i never found someone who did it...

Is there a way for magisk or supersu... Or another su app, to make them request fingerprint instead of just clicking yes and no to grant root access

I didnt post in my device forum because i think this can work on all devices.. although my device is galaxy s5 sm-g900t
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DE SEXIEST:
I think this is a good idea

How do you start that?

Are you a developer or programmer?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XEROling:
if i can work on the source of an existing su app, maybe i could add a fingerprint request and remove the yes button... Idk that's just an idea

I'm saying maybe a lot because I'm still learning

Edit: i might download the source of magisk and ask them for editing permission

Maybe i will get lost in the files maze of the source because i don't have a map lol
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XEROling:
UPDATE: I've realized that it isn't that complicated as i expected... Maybe... I say maybe fingerprint feature will be brought to magisk by me? :D who knows... Or maybe I'll simply fail :P anyway there's hope
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MPeti1:
you have no reasons to not try it. if you succeed it will be good, if you fail you will not lose anything :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XEROling:
Eventually i think im not gonna do it

Because even though I'm putting the right codes but i dont have the right tools to edit magisk (to build properly without errors) so i got million errors and can never build it and make an apk out of it

I'm thinking of making a tool kit app (general non or root tools)

Aaand.. i will include the fp to secure it :laugh: (optional) because root = if wrong person > get control of device

Maybe we just report to the dev to make fp for magisk better than a learner (me)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MPeti1:
Why don't you ask the dev of Magisk what tools do you need for that?

Or Aicp rom ( linage with full feature)

Or citrus rom based on (CAF only)

https://www.google.de/amp/s/xdaforu...t/rom-citrus-caf-3-1tangrine7-1-t3572769/amp/

and finally RR 5.8.2 (you have it already but the last updated one)

I tried every rom in this forum.. seriously.. and now i am on RR 5.8.2. Not 5.8.3 because it is still buggy!! All of them gave me minimum 5.5 h SOT

RR 5.8.2 is the best rom till now i have tried.. very very stable, full substratum support, very good battery life (SOT 5.5- 6) as it has equipped with RA kernel.. and finally you have every avalible Android feature on this planet inside it.

Hopefully i was useful, i had your question once upon a time

If you just want battery life.. go for Nuclear rom 6. no rom will give you like it.

I am getting 15% battery reducing per h on wifi with 1h SOT while network and gps are on and the display at 50%

I am finishing over 20 h with over 5.5 SOT including over 2h web browser, 1h calling, and the rest are mixed consuming.

Dont forget that my battery is really old now, 5.5 would be 6.5 at least with new battery.

No at all!! If you have then i advice you with AOSP-CAF rom like DU 6 or 7 or candy rom nogut i mentioned above, it is the fastest rom i have tried , i did not like it because i had problems only with 60 fps video shoot, other than this, it is very stable, insanely fast, very good battery life, and i am pretty sure will be the best for the hardware compatibility, this means if you flash it and still have problems then think about a hardware defect!

Helpful channel

Hi everyone,

I found it is very helpful to share this youtube channel with you. This guy has reviewed almost every rom made for OnePlus one, from marshmallow till nogut, and gave a final honest opinion in every rom, which is can be applied for every smartphone run this rom.

https://www.youtube.com/user/arcadianlogic

For how is asking for batterylife only, nuclear rom 6.0.1 is the best, check its review and see that it is comming directly after sultan rom ( how has insane batterylife but it is not available for zuk z1 sadly). I guess this would help every one to decide which rom should flash. Just remember, dont expect identical numbers with oneplus one, but comparible numbers only, means if he said that this rom has the best batterylife then it will be for every smartphone, just the SOT will be different from OnePlus one.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] ArkAngel06:
Every time I sit my phone down on a table, it rotates.

Had to lock my auto rotation, I am currently using Tasker to allow it on some apps, like YouTube and Netflix, or anything with video pretty much.

The final straw for me was trying to listen to a voicemail, if I hit play and then put the phone up to my ear, it would stop because it rotated. I'm not holding it up to my ear sideways, but it's just enough to cause it to flip.

It's way too high, and I doubt it will be fixed.

Has anyone used another ROM like a Lineage based ROM? Does it still have the problem? I imagine that it could be fixed through software calibration, or in a completely different ROM, never have existed in the first place.

Anyone have any other fixes?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] zathus:
I used Tasker to solve this issue. I found it to be overly sensitive also. You just going to tasker, start a new profile. Select the apps you want to auto rotate. I just have YouTube. Create a new task, actions, screen, auto rotate. Set it to on. Then back all the way out long press the task and select an exit action. Set it to turn auto rotation off. So every time I open YouTube autorotation goes on. Everytime I close it Autorotation goes off
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] ArkAngel06:
In my experience, all you have to do is the first part. I don't have an exit task and it works fine and autorotate is on with only on the apps I have selected.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] takuya16:
How to fix it... at least it worked for me

it seems to be caused by the accelerometer/gyroscope being mis-calibrated, to recalibrate it,

1. go to dialer

2. open the number pad, and enter *#808#

3. select "sensor self-test and calibration"

4. lay the phone on a known flat surface

5. then tap the buttons with the word "accelerometer" and "gyroscope" about 5 times each

6. exit the menu and see how the screen rotation feels
