[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, &] Vinnom:
Reporting

Hi there! I'm back =)

Today, I tested some things and my report is below.

I'm having a pretty much bugfree experience here. I'll talk about audio, camera and kernel.

-------------- Audio ----------------------------

Altough I can confirm my voice recording is low, when I try to hear it using headphones, audio seems ok. I didn't experience low audio in call as others and I'm talking about both ROM (LOS and this one). But, when reproducing audio via speaker, I can confirm it is somewhat low when compared with EMUI. Again, when in headphones is ok, but something maybe wrong with speakers configs ( loudspeaker and incall speaker).

-------------- Camera ----------------------------

I tested camera and I can confirm that SnapCam (Snapdragon Camera) is buggish. The app, the problem seems not related to ROM or drivers. I think that, as we are using stock kernel, not CAF and SnapCam is a code aurora project, it might be related (I'm just guessing here). I'm saying this because, when I took pics using Open Camera and Google Camera (installed via stock gapps), I didn't have any green pic or distorted effect on it like I had when used SnapCam. And, as I already said in other post, it seems that has nothing to do with HDR, because I had green pics with HDR on and off (mostly when taking a pic with frontal camera - it also might be related to model. Mine is imx219_sunny, from Sony where main camera is ov12870_sunny, from OmniVision).

Below is four logcats that I took, which might help to find the error regarding SnapCam:

Aosp Extended with Google Camera

AospExtended with SnapCam

Emui Camera (It would be nice if it could be ported, but it can't =/ =/ =/)

LOS 14.1 with SnapCam

-------------- Kernel ----------------------------

What I want to say about kernel is that I restored EMUI backup that I have and tested some other apps to check frequency in real time. Well, it seems that EMUI is realy buggish when talking about checking kernel stats. None of the apps could do a really good job checking it, but Kernel Adiutor was the one that worked better. I did check real time frequency manually this time and all I can say is that the original stock kernel doesn't behave good. Even using my script that explicitly sets min freq to 652MHz and max freq to 2106MHz, the min and max freq kept changing (and I confirmed it checking manually, looking myself into the files). However there is just one thing that original stock kernel does right that ours need to improve: big cores doesn't work all the time.

My thoughts about is that we are using stock kernel, but is not really the stock. It was compiled using the stock resources that huawei released, sure. But I think that might be some differences between what they release and what they put inside stock ROM.

Apart from that, I'm not experiencing any issues. Even taking pics is ok now, because I'm using Google Camera to do the job. The ROM is great, lagfree, have great battery life and good features (that is the cause for me keep this ROM and not LOS, which is too "pure" for me - although is much better than EMUI).

PS: about the toogles/QS tiles, I found out that if I just touch the toogle, it jumps to my QS tiles.... I thought I needed to drag it all the way lol xDDDDD

EDIT:

I forgot to mention that equalizer isn't working =P if it is turned on, it FC sometimes and doesn't have any effect on audio that is playing. Audio FX in LOS works fine.
