[P8lite Android Development] mxz55:
Yes, that's a common problem with the P8 lite (ALE-21) and I heard other Huawei's - I also have a broken wifi/BT chip in mine, for more info read https://xdaforums.com/general/help/qa-wifi-stuck-mac-020000000000-g2-g3-g4-t3452133 (in the P8 Lite's case it is, like in my case, often a fried chip). I am not sure whether or not a broken wifi/bt chip provokes the Bluetooth crashing issue in this ROM, but if it does, the raised incidence of this annoying problem in the ROM is explained by the amount of P8 lite owners with broken chips because of their quality and lifetime. I had to uninstall the BT app package or use the 'wipe data' and app stopping method to interrupt the crashing and interface lag (although the sequence and speed of steps, wipe data and force stop in doing that is tricky, you gotta repeat the process a few times to successfully break the cycle). Note: the BT app crashing doesn't occur on other ALE-21 custom ROMs, despite using the same device with the same chip damage.

I really doubt that because I don't think you know Surdu on a personal level; he has not said he isn't working on this device anymore, recently in this topic he just said that his priorities (at the moment) aren't this device. This is subject to change at any given time, ofcourse. I do honestly hope that he will resume development on it when he's ready for it, because this ROM is great in terms of performance and so far in my experience has proven to be the fastest rom available for this device (in terms of interface speed and task smoothness), it feels really optimized which may be related to it being Android 8.1 oreo, and right now there aren't really 8.1 ROMs out there for the P8 lite.

I unfortunately had to stop using this, not because the ROM isn't stable (it really is, I don't think there would be *much* to fix or continue development on), but because it was unusable in my case because in no way I could get the SIM working, it was not recognized ("no SIM") and I am using single SIM. Even where others said it would randomly work (each boot having a chance it would be detected) it never did for me despite lots of (re)boots.

Note: despite my question in the post 4PERTURE quoted from me, he didn't offer instructions about how to uninstall the BT app package, so for noobs' further reference I will just note it:

- Go to settings on your phone, 'about', and tap the Build number like 5 times in succession rapidly until you got Development modus available. Now go 1 step back into main settings, go into "Developer options" and locate & enable USB debugging. Now, connect your phone to PC with cable.

- Download ADB & fastboot from https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip

- Extract all zip contents to a folder and run cmd (commandprompt) from that location. It should be unnecesary to mention, but either copy cmd.exe into the folder, use "start in" shortcut property, or 'cd [c:/location]' your way into the right folder.

- Enter this into your open commandprompt: pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.bluetooth

*Note: because I got rid of this ROM i can no longer verify if this is the correct package name for BT in this ROM, I believe it was, if it's not then you should generate a list of installed (system) apps with running the command pm list packages before copying the output, locating the Bluetooth app package name and replacing the "com.android.bluetooth" in previous command to delete the app, with your listed one.
