[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] disL:
I tried both. It's still not working. I bought this in Finland so it's the european variant? Is anyone else having the same issues?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Someone with this model can confirm this.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] disL:
Europe, anyone?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] simon_templar:
I have also that problem with wifi hotspot and EMUI 5.0.1. Strange was that the problem did not occur while on one operator (Elisa, Fin) but a week ago after I changed to other operator (Telia, Fin) wifi hotspot did not work anymore. Other devices can still connect to Honor 8 hotspot, but connection is unusable. Huawei knows about the problem with the latest update and at their flagship store in Helsinki they instructed that it can be fixed with downgrading to emui 4.1. They weren't able to give any information about timetable fo fix. Maybe they haven't found the bug. I went back to 4.0.1 and tethering has been working, but that was not what I hoped. I hope they can fix the problem soon :(
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Honor8m8:
Same here

Hi, I just bought a honor 8, also from Finland. It's running the same version of android and emui. Having the same problem in the phone. So if you figure out how to solve this I would appreciate it a lot! Has anyone tried the bluetooth tethering?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
You need to contract Honor about this issue, them the details of the issue (build number, phone model..etc) hoping from them to work on an update
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] simon_templar:
Which operator you are using? Was the Android 7 / Emui 5 on your phone when you bought it or did you update it after purchase?

I guess bluetooth tethering would work. I didn't try it, but I can confirm that usb tethering did work on Android 7 / Emui 5.

Honor (Huawei) does know about the problem but for some reason they have not been able or willing to solve the issue. I am so pissed at Honor :( I gonna drop by their flagshipstore today and bother them with some questions concerning the update :)

EDIT:

I dropped by the Huawei/Honor flagshipstore in Helsinki and they claimed that there should not be any problems with lates OTA update. This sounded strange since when I asked in November if the available update (B360) has fixed the wifi tethering, the answer was no. Well, I just took a leap of faith with update since the staff at flagshipstore said I could bring the phone to warranty service if there would be problem. To my surprise wifi tethering is now working on Emui 5.0 and Android 7. :good: It's bit strange that they don't have this version available at their website nor do they have any information concerning the problem or fix. My current firmware is FRD-L19C432B360.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
Too bad, they're not taking their customers as a priority
[General Topics] speakerphone:
Can someone explain this to me. The storage in a device is in the ROM of the device. When you flash a cooked ROM it is in the ROM of the device. So are these in the same areas? When you look in /windows is that file what you flashed in or is it a copy? Where does all the space go?
[General Topics] S.V.I:
generaly the full storarge is 128mb. the roms that are coocked are about 53-57mb unless the extended storage is included in the coocked version so it might be about 72mb (i think)

When you flash rom the computer loads the files into the phone, then the bar reaches 100% and a long wait before the phone reeboots. The rom files are locked for good; whatever aplications or upgrades you put into it do not overwrite any of the files in rom. so that when you hard reset only the original ROM files stay in the rom and all of the stuff you put into it are wiped clean.

The extended rom (correct me if Im wrong) is actualy located in the ram (usualy 10mb) This is the place where your carrier installes their programs and settings they desided are right for you. some developers also use the extended rom to put in their fixes.... However, all of that still gets installed into main device memory

Then there is a pagefile (from 4-8-12mb in some cases)

That leaves whatever miniscule remains for available storage and ram.

I hope that this is clear.
[General Topics] speakerphone:
Can you just delete/add stuff to the extended rom or not?
[General Topics] Babysittah:
Yep, absolutely agree with ya 100 % dude, ain't nothin to it.:cool:

It's Oreo. XDA's DevDB setup doesn't include Android 8.x as an option yet.

Any thing special about the recovery? It's in the instruction but i'd rather keep my setup
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] CLShortFuse:
Not really. SonyAosp doesn't do anything special for recovery. I would just do kernel and system if you're coming from AOSP already.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] akhenaton.cairo:
Install without losing datas?

Is there a way to setup this up without losing all my datas and applications already installed on my rooted XZ with 7.1.1?

Thanks for your answers
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] CLShortFuse:
You can try. Don't flash or wipe userdata. I strongly recommend a wipe though, especially if you're coming from stock.

Safe to use as a daily driver?
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] niaboc79:
I've had to flash these gapps https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=...b850aa7a37f94f1b433cedcc9a9aeb9581d3ca3feb5de to be able to use the rom.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] CLShortFuse:
Gapps is already included, so you shouldn't have to flash anything. What issues were you having forcing you to reinstall it?
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] CLShortFuse:
I'm using it as daily driver. But trying to play or record video will make it slow down to a crawl after a few seconds until you stop. So if you watch YouTube videos, it may not be for you.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] niaboc79:
Without thèse Google apps the systemUI doesn't work. The notification panel is broken, also the home button.

The setup wizard works also with m'y gapps package.

Is there any way to install stock sony camera and enable 4k recording + slow motion?

Google Play have some issues for me, it won't download apps because of staying at "Waiting for download".
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Beckershoff:
4K recording is working while using Open Camera no sure though regarding slow mo.

Solved the "Waiting for download" issue by installing the Gapp package linked in the posts above.

B.t.w. solved also the stuttering video playback and recording issue by applying Rudy's workaround :)

B.t.w. before I forgot, thanks CLshortFuse for cooking this rom :good: Looks really good so far, keep up the good work :victory:

PS aren't you also the guy behind one-click-root? If so, another big thank because that tool saved me for throwing away a locked Fire TV some while ago :D
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] CLShortFuse:
NP, I figure I share the work I'm doing. I'm not really changing anything, just building SonyAosp as it exists in the repository. It includes everything, including gApps. I think the issues with it not working properly might be because it's expecting userdata to be flashed... maybe. I'm not sure, but installing the beta 8.0 zips on top works. Right now there's a new vendor.img system Sony is using and I'm trying to build it. It might fix (or break) some camera issues.

And yeah, I wrote SuperOneClick way back. Glad to hear you got use out of it.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Bitti09:
the new vendor.img needs a new bootloader to be flashed (which isn't released atm)

but there is a workaround which 'm currently testing.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Bitti09:
It shouldn't take more than 5-8minutes
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] CLShortFuse:
I was able to dump the the contents in /odm manually over adb, but it still didn't boot. I might have been missing some chmod permissions due to the way I copied them.

The files are there for anyone to try, but I would stick with 2017-09-27 until I can get a twrp script going.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] caqo71:
What about the camera so far.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] CLShortFuse:
Yeah, Auto ISO doesn't seem right to me. I had to manually set it to 3200 for some low light conditions. I flashed my backed up TA.IMG, but low lighting didn't get any less noisier. Seems like Bionz isn't kicking in.

I have a new nightly from overnight that's built. It's untested and needs a manual flashing of vendor/oem/odm partiton. I'll play with it later today.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] CLShortFuse:
Got it working. Check out first and second post. Basically convert sparse ext4 to regular ext4. Use adb to copy into memory block.

can anyone explain this step.

From where do i get SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_O_MR0_4.4_v02_tone.ext4.img

Why i have this to do?

what if i want back to Android 7.1 - do i have to revert this change somehow?

Can i use it also on 8331, or do i need other SW_binaries?

Thanks in advance.

bro you can try to copy SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_O_MR0_4.4_v02_tone.ext4.img to your phone or memory card

enter twrp then file manager

find dev/block/mmcblk0p53

open mmcblk0p53

[MENTION=431383]CLShortFuse[/MENTION] is the fingerprint fix built into the latest build? just noticed you removed the adb commands from the second post
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] CLShortFuse:
Sorry, this is for Single SIM variant. I clarified on the first post

It's on the Google Drive. Follow the steps in the second post. If you're going back to 7.1 Stock, everything will be reverted. If you're going 7.1 AOSP, then it has its own set of binaries (these are only for Oreo). I'm buillding for F8331, so you shouldn't have to worry.

Rudy's fix seems to not be needed anymore based on the new V2 vendor binaries. I haven't had an issue so far.
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] bruno$0:
Hello [MENTION=431383]CLShortFuse[/MENTION]. I glad to see the improvements from oreo aosp rom. Can you build the rom for dual version too? Is the usb driver fixed ( charge time speed )? Your rom is compatible with usb otg?

If i had know this, i had tested it before. - but now 8331 is in the title!

[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] CLShortFuse:
2017-10-06 is up. You can now reboot into Recovery partition. Now we can use TWRP. We can't directly boot with the Volume Up key. That may be a bootloader issue. I'm not entirely sure.

Did you apply the CPU Governor change instructions in the second post?
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] KevinCTofel:
Stuck at Checking for Updates

Got everything flashed and booting but during initial setup, it just cycles at "Checking for Updates" and occasionally reports that Google Play Services has stopped. Thought it might be the Gapps issue so I side loaded the gapps.zip noted earlier in the thread but no dice. Same exact behavior. Phone boot loader is unlocked so I know it won't get OTA updates - wondering if that's the issue?
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Bitti09:
reason is that a part of google play services doesn't get installed properly.

download latest apk for google play services and do this during boot:

adb install -d -r apkname
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] KevinCTofel:
Thanks. Gave it a shot and I do get the Play Services .apk pushed over but then get this:

/sbin/sh: pm: not found

No idea what that means. :(
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Bitti09:
you need to do it while phone is booting , NOT in recovery
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] KevinCTofel:
Ah. I didn't read closely enough and I didn't know you could install via ADB while the phone was booting. Got a very recent version of Play Services successfully installed but it still keeps stopping and I'm getting stuck for anything related to Google apps / account setup. Could just be I'm not using the right/best version of GPS so I'll keep tinkering. Thanks much for the assist!
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ste2610:
I had problems with the play store on an earlier build that was fixed by freezing "Goole play services for instant apps" I didn't have to install any new play services or play store via adb, not sure if that helps anyone
[Sony Xperia XZ ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] CLShortFuse:
Yeah, I don't have any Google Play issues other than the occasional Waiting to Download. All you have to do is go to App Info for Play Store and hit Force Stop. Then everything starts downloading.

If you didn't do a clean install, make sure you clear Play Store data. Also Google Play services, Clear All Data.

Haven't tested USB OTG but Google Camera with HDR+ works great. Just be sure to use TWRP to delete /system/app/Google camera before you try installing the APK. With Camera FV-5 RAW support really shows how terrible the default JPEG processing is.

Mine doesn't crash so it's hard to diagnose. I could only really say reflash system and don't install another gApps. Then clear all data from Google Play services.

My camera is extremelly dark in Snapchat due to the ISO problem, it worked back in Nougat. I hope this problem is fixed soon as its the last big problem I see with the Oreo roms. As soon as performance gets better(device gets pretty warm and slow at times, seems like the 820 is a ***** to handle), Play Store downloads work reliably and the camera works better this rom would be perfect. I didnt experience any slow charging with the Nintendo Switch charger, only the things I mentioned above. I've only had one random reboot so far, better than the Last Nougat rom i used. Chrome crashed 10-15times while writing this tho. It did never act like that before.. weird.
