[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
You can try "Quick Shortcut Maker"

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut&hl=en_US

The other possibility - If you open Viper for Android, in settings it's possible to make a permanent symbol to the message area (notification bar).From there you can open Viper quickly.

I had the same issue with K-Settings but managed to fix it following these instructions. Now im running Magisk version 20.3 and can open K-settings.:good:

I feel like the system is kinda slugish but might be due to the phone itself getting older. (My newer phone broke down recently so i had to come back to the P8).

The only different thing i did was installing - Busybox by YashdSaraf v 1.29.0 along with SELinux Permissive Script v1.2
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] bubba_66:
K-settings not working after Magisk update.

Did you start off with Magisk 20.3 or did you have an earlier version / which version did you start off with and when did you install the two Magisk modules, in what Magisk version?

Thanks DH

Never mind it seems I answered my own question.
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Lyovski:
Hi,

I have succesfully installed this ROM. Thanks a lot Tecalote!

Everything is working fine. I didn't update magisk manager to avoid any problems that can occur. Access to K-settings is ok.

Can you tell me how can I enable voice over wifi (vowifi)?

I checked with the network operator and vowifi and volte are enabled for my sim. But still not working in no signal area.

Thx in advance!

Hi, I can't find the K-settings anywhere in my phone to disable the lunar calendar. help please
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
K-Settings should be in settings menu if you use this rom.

It's written on the first page:

Disable Chinese Letters:

The Rom is European, but the K-Settings are from KangV. Thats why the Lunar component is installed in K-Settings (these are the only Chinese letters in this Rom).

To disable Lunar, go to K-Settings:

1) Lockscreen and desktop settings and disable: "Lunar Calendar" and at "Desktop weather lunar"

2) Notification settings - disable: "Show statusbar lunar"

Hi tecalote i update magisk 15.3 to 16 and it is ok
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Magisk Manager 5.6.1 and Magisk v16 (stable) - UPDATE

Thats fine - but sometimes it produces an Error....

Since yesterday night the new Magisk Update is available -

- Magisk Manager 5.6.1

- Magisk v16

Be careful with the Update and check following:

1) update Magisk Manager (you get request after starting Magisk Manager)

2) Open updated Magisk Manager - you get request to install Magisk v16

3) Use direct install Method - but if the direct install produce an Error: "Insufficient boot partition size detected" - DONT REBOOT PHONE NOW. Just close the window and go back to main site of Magisk Manager and click on "Update Magisk" again

4) Use direct install Method - second install will be succesful for sure (look at the screenshots)

5) Reboot Phone now - Magisk v16 is succesful installed...

[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Okay, but have you in module section still:

Busybox by YashdSaraf and

If yes, everything okay. If not, phone cannot work properly.

That's why for all the other Users the Guide - how to do it without NCK problem - if you don't mind ;)
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Morun:
Yes i still got them enabled in the magisk modules section. I totally agree that others should use your guide :)

Hello,

I've got some questions before flashing this custom rom.

I'm currently on the fRomFuture custom rom, which I flashed back in 2016, I think. Sorry if I sound stupid, but does this rom have any advantages? Like, does it run smoother does it have more options .. etc. ?

The next thing I want know is, what exactly do I have to do, to flash this rom without getting stuck in a bootloop or even brick my device? I've already made a backup with the latest TWRP, since my device is rooted I have to unroot it in TWRP? and after that I can flash your custom rom? Or did I miss anything?

edit: Oh and what version do personally prefer, magisk or su?

Thanks in advance, and I really appreciate your work.
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] beardedwonder:
I'm on 398 so I will do a full backup (transfer internal sd to my laptop), nandroid backup, install 399 then your ROM.

Thanks again.
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Aioria:
Hi Tecalote, I'm glad to see that your new rom is now available :)

I will flash it as soon as I have time.

Hi, ROM is very great, smooth and my huawei get second life. But after update magisk manager to 16.0 i get a request for nck-unlock code phone. I don't know why, because i bought my phone without any simlock and I never had a problem with this.

Edit: Ok, I uninstalled Magisk at all and I can normally log on SIM and make a call. But what should I do now? Manually install magisk like on a guide on second page? Or I need to flash ROM again from TWRP?
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Flash Rom again and do what I have written here:

[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] beardedwonder:
Have done the reinstall, no 2G only option unfortunately, I wonder if it's something to do with the APN settings. But at least I'm on the newest base ROM.

I had a weird problem where I couldn't flash twrp from fastboot (remote command not allowed).

Fastboot said the bootloader was unlocked but I had to 're-unlock' it to flash TWRP.
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
It has to do with the APN - I would reset this setting.

Normally the SIM will automatically configure!
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ChavezD:
So I'm planning to update my old p8 (actually used by ny girlfriend) to the newest base and clean install this ROM.

Will you do any update soon on which it is worth waiting or should I go straight ahead and update afterwards to magisk 16? (Which seems to be the last version for the next couple of months, if I've not completely mistaken topjohns message?)
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] chros69:

No :) I meant the whole process: I want to do the same thing:

- I'm on Magiks edition of Arrow v1 (b391)

- making backups

- flash back the official latest b399

- then flash this beauty :)

At point 20 - 21:

"use fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-grace.img flashing the current TWRP and immediately after flashing the TWRP:

Boot into the TWRP."

But how to go into TWRP at this point?

If I run "fastboot reboot" and hold down VolUp + Power buttons then it goes to the Huawei eRecovery.

Edit: I managed to do it, I rebooted normally the device and via adb:

"adb reboot recovery"
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
I always just disconnect Phone from USB, soon I have flashed TWRP and then reboot with Vol+ and Power Button
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] chros69:
Thank You for this, I also needed it!

Ok, thanks, next time I'll try it (although I hope there won't be next time :D )

It took me a while I had to flash both the official and your rom 2 times :) :

- I got boot loop with point 13:

"Re-boot to Stock Recovery (also goes directly through K-Settings) and there: Wipe Cache partition"

You can edit that post and add Factory reset there as well (at that point we already have backups for everything).

I just finished restoring everything (I only have to go through the settings), upgrading Magiks to v16, installing Uret Patcher, Xposed:

- v89 by rovo89, ahrion, zackptg5 (and yes, it breaks safety-net)

It looks so far so good.

Thanks for these as well:

- all the other Apps I have included are uninstallable with native settings /Apps

- Viper4Audio icon :)

Hi,

Great ROM [MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION], thank you. Is there any easy way to change the default font, not just size, but the complete font, please?
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Enable Fonts in display-settings

0) Enable Developer Options (settings/about phone 7x klick on build number) - enable USB Debugging in Developer Options

1) Connect P8 with USB to PC

2) Open Minimal ADB and Fastboot (Program) on PC (in Administrator Mode)

- after each code press enter...

3) Code: adb devices

- Phone should be listed with SN

4) Code: adb shell

- look at the display of P8 - be sure you allow RSA-Key-Request (always for this PC, okay)

5) Code: su

- allow Root-Permission on display - you should see now something like: HWGRA:/ #

6) Code: settings put system hw_hide_font_style false

7) Code: exit

8) Code: adb kill-server

9) Code: exit

10) Close Minimal ADB and Fastboot, disconect your Phone with symbol in Taskbar

11) Reboot your P8

12) You should now have in settings /display /fonts (where you can change it if you have another font installed)

Here you can find different fonts: https://xdaforums.com/mate-8/themes-apps/noroot-font-styles-updated-02-09-16-t3453559

Reboot and corrupted things problem

Hello guys, when I didn't root my phone and was on pure EMUI rom, ive experienced some rebbot problems or unusable phone, like keyboard was not showing, apps not loading and force closing...

When i've installed ArrowRom, all these things went away :)

Until yesterday :eek:

It was worst than ever, phone rebooting like every 5 minutes, power button wasn't working, apps weren't openning, etc...

I went to TWRP that worked fine, I've tried to fix partitions and received the error "/cust has invalid sintaxis"

so I've deleted all partitions, (before that i've backed up all my important data), and thats all, now i have a mobile without OS, and I'm scared if it's a EMUI fail...

Any help would be appreciated :;)
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
You didn't say which Phone you have GRA-L09, UL10?

And what's about your cust? c432, c185 or c636?

What was the previous Stock Firmware you had installed on your Phone b321a, b370, b391, b398, b399?

If you want help you should give clear information.

I am sure I can help you, but I am not at home at the moment.

dealing with encryption?

Hi,

I've got a GRA-L09C432B391, currently on MagicArrow v1, which is encrypted. It is my understanding that TWRP 3.1.1 does not support encryption. I've got everything I need backed up, and would like to start clean. Could someone point me to a resource explaining how to get past the encryption issue? I don't mind blowing up the partitioning table and starting from a clean slate, but I haven't really found any applicable guides...

As an aside, how do you guys deal with the limited internal capacity? Formatting SD1 as extended internal storage? App2SD/similar tools? XInternalSD? Something else? I've been moving apps to external storage, and it's really a pain, so I would like to try something different when I install v3.

Thank you!

-Nikki
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Tecalote:
Who tells you that MAv1 is encrypted?

Did you encrypt your data?

Rom or Firmware for P8 is not encrypted by default!

And I have never seen any TWRP for the P8 which support encryption, because it's not required.

If any User make a safe with Huawei Filemanager to encrypt data on external or internal storage - TWRP cannot handle this, because there exists no TWRP with encryption support for the P8.

So if you use a safe, just disable this.

And yes, for the limited capacity of internal storage you can install SuperSU Edition, Xposed Framework and XInternalSD.

(Xposed break safetynet - but if you don't need this, install SuperSU Edition instead of Magisk Edition)

I can write a guide soon I have time.

I would recommend you to update your Firmware too.

I have written a guide in German for Update, had no time for writing in English yet, you can use Google Translator

[MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION]: Thanks for your reply!

Yes, I encrypted it, back when I first got the phone. And now I am looking all over in settings and everywhere, and I find no option to decrypt it.

Yeah, I think that's my preferred option, as I don't need safetynet. Looking forward to the guide!

I was planning on upgrading to the latest stock first. Thank you for the link to the guide, it's very helpful! If I overwrite TWRP with stock recovery, do you think I could proceed from there, regardless of encryption?

TIA,

In the moment I have released a new Rom for P9 and working to create the new Threads for it.

And tomorrow I am whole day in my job.

I will find solution for you
[Huawei P8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] nikkiscores:
I found a solution for my encryption problem, wanted to write a quick update in case someone else is having similar issues.

Due to the encryption on the phone, TWRP could not mount, wipe or otherwise handle the encrypted partitions in any way. I flashed stock recovery to see if it handled encryption better, it did not. Tried a couple of other versions, then came back to the TWRP from this thread, with the expectation that I would go into terminal and destroy the partitioning table manually and try to then recreate it. However, I noticed there was an option to format /data and /data/media. This option worked, in contrast to the standard wiping of /data, /cache, etc. It obviously does something different, since one works and the other doesn't, but I am not sure what. Anyway, this was the magic dust that solved my main issue.

I then went through the steps to install the latest stock everything. When that was finished, I tried to install TWRP again, which kept failing. I thought the problem was with the adb setup somehow, but it turned out my bootloader was re-locked, even though it said "phone unlocked" on the fastboot screen. After unlocking the bootloader again, the rest of the installation was successful and happily uneventful.

To manage the limited internal storage, I installed the XInternalSD xposed module, and configured it with very conservative settings for now. I plan to go through their support threads and/or [MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION]'s guide this week and subsequently configure it more aggressively.

[MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION] I can't thank you enough for all your work, your excellent ROM(s), and also for your tireless and attentive support!!! You da man!!! :highfive: :good:

-Nikki

p.s. I will mention this to potentially save someone endless hours of frustration: it's very important to be sure your adb setup works correctly. I had a few different phones connected to my Win10 machine over the past few months (which each installed their various drivers, etc), that adb started behaving pretty erratically: no problems with executing some commands but randomly erroring out on others. This was extremely frustrating and a giant pain to troubleshoot, because I absolutely couldn't believe the problem could be with adb or my computer! I eventually just ended up booting into a live linux distro and running all the same commands from there, which executed flawlessly. Lesson learned.
