So today I've went to a service to see how much it costs to repair it and they've said 250 RON (~ 55 euros). Father wanted to come with me, so he went with me and he paid for it... He shouldn't have done that since we don't have that much money left and obviously repairing the phone wasn't a priority. I have 190 RON collected, so I'll help when he'll need money...

Now i don't know if they'll modify other pieces such battery or others... I don't really trust services unless they repair it in front of me... They've said that the pics and other stuff won't be lost and I hope so... Also, they've said that the display is original, according to the provider / manufacturer...

I'm supposed to take the Nova back tomorrow. I've used mother's S3 Neo (so crap SOT, 2-3 hours) since I've scratched Nova, so tomorrow when I'll use it again it'll feel like a upgrade lol.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Vinnom:
Oh man! Parents really do that xD so, good you'll be back :)

My mom often helps me out with money. We don't have that much money too, but she manages money like a pro banker, so mom knows her stuff :D

Mine will be repaired tomorrow too. I like to fix things, but I need to buy another tool kit to be able to disassemble our device (it needs pentalobe 0.8 mm screwdriver, I only have 2.0 mm) so I'll pay for it.

I could get back to emui 5, although the proccess is a bit confusing. I returned to bluesmoothie's backup. Then I downloaded one upgrade zip file from here (it is linked here in news/discussion forums). When the process finished, my device is set as CAZ-TL10 again (when with bluesmoothie's backup it says "HUAWEI CAN" as model) and NRD90M test-keys. I'll try other files to see if build number changes and I can update again.

The only bad thing is my bootloader is locked again and to unlock I have to do a major backup and right now I'm lazy.

[MENTION=4699730]Vinnom[/MENTION], when you get back to stock, are you only flashing the data from bluesmoothie's backup? When I do that my build does not change.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Vinnom:
Nope [emoji14]

I always restore all the three files.

Few hours ago, I've got my Nova back. The display seems to work fine and I haven't encountered any issues with the display until now. They've said that the display has 3 months warranty, but if it gets scratched the warranty is gone.

However, the front camera doesn't seems to work. The option from Snap Camera for front camera switch is gone and in other cameras the option doesn't show up or it is gray. I've took a look in the app named Device Info HW and the front camera doesn't show up there neither. I've attached two screenshots: first one was taken before and second one after it got repaired.

I don't know if the camera got broken when I've damaged it or if they've took advantage of that scratch and did sth with camera... When I've did put it under sofa, the sofa thingy was right over/near front camera (check pics from my previous post), so maybe it really got damaged when I've did that stupid thing... I have no idea. Well, I'm not using front camera at all, but you know, it's not bad to be there... Anyway, I can live without it.

I'll never do such a stupid thing again, ever. Also, I'll try to be more carefully (e.g. remember when it fall from my hands on the street...).

EDIT:

1) In apps which shows hardware info, it says that the screen has 4.59 inches... So it seems that's a fake display, at least it's working...

2) The battery capacity is 2920 now? It was supposed to be 3020 (original), so it seems that they've replaced the battery... Who knows what else they've did... and now I have doubts about the front camera.

**** services forever. I'll never repair something at services again unless they fking repair it in front of me. At least I hope it'll work fine till I'll get a new phone (not so soon).

I've attached more screenshots.

EDIT 2:

Regarding battery, oups... I've just seen that the battery capacity is defined as 2920 in power_profile. As far as I know, the power profile it's taken from stock, so it should be same on EMUI. I'll check tomorrow.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Vinnom:
I got my nova back yesterday too. Mine is fine, although as I said, I updated it to emui 5 and I didn't unlocked bootloader yet again, so I'm rootless for the moment and can't check like you did. I'll try another update from firmware finder (CAZ-TL10C752B368) tomorrow. If it works, maybe I'll be away from test-keys rom [emoji2]

However, the guys that repaired my device are friends of the girl I'm dating, so I think they did nothing wrong (and I spent in the whole process - buying display and repair - less than 60 dollars [emoji16] )

Maybe tomorrow I do all the backup necessary and unlock its bootloader again and then I can check things out.

I got my motherboard replaced and immediately flashed your newest LOS build. Not sure how I messed up the modem in the first place, but my sim card works fine on the new build. Odd thing is my Nexus 5 was having the same issue with the card. I will also say, [MENTION=4699730]Vinnom[/MENTION], magisk does work for me now.

Im not, but i regret that ive bought this phone :D.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Vinnom:
I don't regret having brought it, but some times I feel envy of other phones hahaha

I already decided next phone will be a flagship. I'm tired of mid phones. Buuut will take long time before I buy anything new

[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] #Henkate:
I regret that ive bought it because:

1) Huawei support is crap. They didnt even share a rollback update to downgrade, not like i care about it. There are people who doesnt wanna unlock the bootloader and go into so much trouble just to downgrade by restoring a backup made with TWRP.

2) No XDA support.

3) EMUI has some things which is annoying me too much.

When ive had Galaxy J5 2015 (my previous phone) i said that ill buy a phone which comes with AOSP next time (such as Moto) and with great XDA support, yet i ended up buying Huawei Nova based on the feedback of a friend (who was very satisfied with his huawei phones, but he isnt a guy who root and such) without even checking the available alternatives. Ive made a huge mistake doing this and i wont repeat it ever again.

Next time ill buy a phone, it will be prolly a Moto which comes with AOSP and great XDA support, although Xiaomi might be a exception since they are cheap and has quite good XDA support.

AOSP = updates, clean, no bloatware, no **** + XDA support guaranteed. Basically what i need.

No, i cant afford a flagship and i wouldnt buy a flagship even if i could afford.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Vinnom:
I understand your point. I really understand. Right now I don't even have money to buy anything too. But I'll try to save money for a better buy. When I said flagship, I think I mispoke which can lead to a misunderstanding. What I really wanted to say is: I want a high end device. Don't need to be a flashship, in fact. May be a high-mid end too.

If think about it, I had pretty good devices. Nexus 4 wasn't a high end but it was a good device. Maybe the one I liked te most. Then I had Moto X 2 which really had good community support, as you mentioned Moto devices has. But in the end of the last year, my battery was bad, I wanted a device with a fingerprint scanner, the ones sold in Brazil weren't really my taste. Then after reading a bit about some devices and reading about Huawei quality in some Android Authority and XDA articles, I decided to buy Nova. In fact, I was between buying it and Honor 8 and ended up with the former. Some things annoys me too, like EMUI bloatware, that device manager, the rollback thing. You mentioned it all.

But I like the device design, the battery is decent, the camera is decent too and a thing that really count for me: fingerprint scanner in the back. I dislike FS in the front so much that it is a "buy or no buy" feature for me.

Well, this quite a speculation anyway. It will take a long time before I buy any other phone.

Changing the subject, since sometime ago I'm thinking to go to another country. Brazil is a mess. Not only financial (it will recover It has always recoverer) but in politics too. You see, I like it here. I like our weather, our people, our culture, our food and a lot of other things. But is really difficult to live here. Everything is overpriced and we don't get payed so well, which contributes with the fact that I want to travel, to see other people and learn other cultures. Right now, I'm thinking of Ireland. As of phone device, it is a future talk, as I won't do anything about this now, but maybe next year. Only time will tell =)
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] #Henkate:
I completely agree with you. It's a lovely phone.

The salary in Romania (where I live, where I've been born) is kinda low as well. Many people goes in other country to earn more money, while some of them comes back. The common salaries are usually 200-300 euros (sometimes less or more) and some of the employers aren't really fair. In Germany, people earn from 1000-1500 euros. Compare that with Romania or other countries. Basically you work many months in Romania to earn as much as you earn in one month in Germany.

I'd like to travel too, but unfortunately I don't have any money. I have to get a job as fast as possible. I've said this many times, yet I don't have any. I mean, if someone truly wants to work/to get money, he'll find a job for sure. But I don't know why I'm hesitating (I think that's what I'm doing).

I've went to Germany, France and other countries in past, when I've went with father (he was working as truck driver (i don't even a car license for normal car yet), but obviously that's not really traveling. I mean, it's kinda impossible to visit monuments and such things when someone is working as truck driver. Also, I want to travel, yet I don't even know my own country lol. I heard and read that there's many cool places over here in Romania.

Ireland sounds nice, although I don't know anything about it lol. I'll do some research :D.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] aconger:
Was there an alternative? Hmm... Is there the alternative?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] #Henkate:
There are. Such as Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (way cheaper), Moto G5 Plus and some more I guess.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] aconger:
My hands are not so big. So, the list of my phones: Nokia 5110, Siemens C35, S45, Motorola x670, HTC Touch, SE XPERIA Ray, Samsung S4 mini. All of them had acceptable design and performance. And good battery.

You may say - boringly. For somebody YES, for me - utility things. Plus root and custom rom on Xperia Ray and S4 mini - darling game for adult.

For today Huawei Nova my virtual ideal. I hope to be the owner of them before it'll be a history :silly:
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] #Henkate:
Heh.

What about dumbphones? :D I thought about switching back to a dumbphone many times. Nowadays people spend too much on the "smart"phone and doing useless things.

You know, when I didn't have Nova (because I've broke it) I've been using mom's S3 Neo, yet I've felt uneasy or whatever.

It's hard to get rid of a smartphone. Yes, it does makes things easier, but most of the people are spending too much time and useless. You know how they say, people could and still live without smartphones.

What's your opinion about this?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] wangdaning:
It is insane the amount of time some people spend on their phones doing nothing. I especially hate how social media is now like an extension of people's body. I have taken students phones away and they almost die knowing they might have notifications. For me I could forget my phone at home for the day and only be a bit thrown off because I can't check the time :D
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Vinnom:
I don't think I can go back to a dumbphone, but I don't spend too much time doing nothing. I don't have Facebook account, for example and I spend 5-10 minutes a day.

Dear Henkate,

You know little bit more about my life than others. I really need operative access to email and whatsapp. And I like to spend 15-20 minutes in the evening for internet surfing.

I usually write quick notes and utilize gps navigator. I also make photos (less than 20 in a month) when my SLR at home. So I would need more than one device every 15-20 minutes without unpretentious smartphone.

This my point of view only :p
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] #Henkate:
What's up?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Vinnom:
I slept almost all the day long. Today (yesterday in fact) was one of those bad days for anything. But I read a bit though.

In the recent past, I bought too many books, graphic novels, mangas and too many games and didn't read or play anything. The result was a lot of books and a lot of games to play.

This year, I promised myself that this would change. So I started the following:

- each day I would read 10 pages of one book;

- each day I would play 1 hour of a game

- each weekend I would read 1 manga

I'm not following it strictly, but now I'm reading a chapter per day (usually 1 chapter is more than 10 pages, if it is less, then I read 2 chapters) and playing somewhat 1 h per day. But mangas I forgot to read, so I didn't have many progress in that lol

Ah, just to be clear, I read 7 books per week, so each day is a different book. I do that with the games too. I have an awful memory, so I'm doing that to exercise my brain (I won't lie, brain diseases like Parkinson's or Alzheimer's scares the cr@p out of me).

My goal is to read 3000+ pages per year. It is not that much and soon I finish my books :) the games will take more time though

Oh

This weekend I watched It and Kingsman - The Golden Circle.

I liked both. It is good movie(I don't like scary movies, but this one is good). It has a good script and good characters. A lot of comedy scenes and just one that really scared me.

Kingsman - the golden circle is one of the best movies I watched this year. I LMFAO. A lot of good/great scenes and it is really a must watch (if you watch the first and like a good action/comedy movie, the second will be just as good as).

Hah, I haven't read for years (prolly since I was at school)... Some time ago, I've got motivated to read after I've seen an arc from an anime, but I still haven't read. I have only 2-3 books to read as the rest ones are for kids. I heard that there's free books online, but it sux to read on a screen. I can print, but I'm not sure about that. I would need loads of ink for printer.

By scary you meant horror movies, right? I don't really like them neither, but few years ago I've watched the movie Wrong Turn (1,2 and 3 if I remember properly), but I'm not watching that kind of movies anymore.

I don't really have a good memory neither, but reading should help about that. I'd say that that's what it happen when you're not "training" your memory and using smartphone and all those ****. For example, it's hard for me to study something when I haven't been studying for long time.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Vinnom:
I like to read and to play, but when I grew up, I somehow forgot to enjoy life as I think it should and just parties and stuff like that. Thinks should be more joyful and I wasn't feeling it.

About horror and scary, I was that limbo when you know what you wanna say but doesn't know the right word for it hahahah mainly because sometime ago I read that horror is also related to grotesque and It is certainly not grotesque. The movie has some scary scenes but I laugh more than it scared me lol

I don't know if you want to, but start with a few things and in slow pace, try more and more is a good practice to learn. It is like workouts, brain needs an adaptation time so we can increase the load

[MENTION=4699730]Vinnom[/MENTION], let's move our discussion about Linux distros here.

So I've installed bbqlinux XFCE. I was so excited about it, but I'm quite disappointed.

1) I think it has more bloat than Mint 17.2 XFCE had, not sure.

2) I know nothing about that pacman right now or other stuff.

3) When I've tried to build kernel for the first time, I got an error for a missing dependency or something like that. Solved in about two mins after a google search. I don't know if I'll get more such errors which never experienced on Mint.

4) Then, when I've started to build again, my PC froze. Then I powered it off since it was late.

I'm not sure, but I think bbqlinux is outdated. When I've did repo init, I was told that there's a new repo version available.

Now i regret that I've tried this one since I've wasted plenty of time. I'm thinking to install latest Mint 18 XFCE, try Fedora or something else, but I'm afraid I'll waste my time again.

The official AOSP guide is recommending Ubuntu. I've used Ubuntu 12.04 in past a bit, but I don't remember why I've switched to Mint.

Also, it seems that there are some scripts on github which is setting up the required packages and such for building.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Vinnom:
I'm going to russian class now, later today I answer you properly.

But just fyi arch and arch based distros doesn't stay outdated as they are Rolling releases and you just have to do a # pacman -Syu and it will update its packages.

Look into arch wiki Android page. There you will have the section Building Android, where you can see if you have every package you need.

And about bloat, that is why I like arch rather its based distros: in arch, you install only whatever you want (and its dependecies). There is no such thing as arch flavour, because you will set up your own flavour :)

If you need any help with it, I'll be glad to help :)

[MENTION=4471434]#Henkate[/MENTION] how is it going? Did you managed to solve the issue or are you trying something else?

[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] #Henkate:
Thank you for all those informations!

However, I'm sorry that I've made you write such a long post, that I've made you waste your time. I'm saying this because I've ended up with Fedora 26 XFCE.

I've struggled about 1h or so on bbqlinux to figure out how to install a package from AUR or a downloaded .rpm to make a bootable USB, but in the end I've used dd command.

I've installed Lubuntu (as i read that it's light) and played a bit with it, but I didn't like it.

Then I've tried Fedora 26 (gnome), but it was so laggy while I was trying it from USB. On top of that, I didn't really like it neither, especially that menu when you're pressing the windows start button on keyboard.

Then downloaded Fedora 26 XFCE, played with it and liked it. It seems to be light on memory usage (Mint was too though) and smooth too. There's still some lags here and there, but it's obviously my PC fault.

All I've wanted was to install a new Linux distro as I've did many changes on Mint since I've been using it (like installing many packages) and the /home partition was a mess and continue working on LOS14. It seemed that it was smoother after I've cleaned it a bit of that mess, but I've still wanted to install a new Linux distro.

As much as I want to try/use Arch, I don't really want to spend time for troubleshooting things now or reading their great wiki. I read some posts/comments of people saying that it takes about 1 month or more to learn to use Arch / get used to it. I'll definitely consider Arch in future, when I'll be willing to get some headaches lol :D or when I'll fix the remaining bugs of LOS14.

I've checked comparisons of Arch vs other distros, reviews of people, yet I didn't find any single cons other than the fact that it is not recommended for beginners, which it isn't actually a cons.

If you wonder if I'll reconsider Mint again in future, well I don't know. Earlier I've read that they had privacy issues in past and that's what might keep me away from it, otherwise, I didn't have any problem with it. Sure, I've had headaches at begin too as far as I remember, but I don't remember if it was Mint's fault.

So for now I'll stick with Fedora 26 XFCE, although it might be too early to say that. Earlier I've synced up the sources (about 40-43gb) and tomorrow gonna sync the Nova's sources and try to build. I've installed some dependencies mentioned in a thread on XDA (for Fedora 25) and I'll see how it goes. I'm curious about the building time, especially with ccache and I'll have to do two builds to see that.

I've wasted 2-3 days until now, but tomorrow it's time to continue working on LOS14 (probably I'll try to make the CAF kernel again, by using Kdiff this time).

Once again, thank you for your informations, but I'm also sorry like I've said at the begin of this post.

I'll definitely read your post when I'll consider Arch in future.
