[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] huladaddy:
Thanks for the great reply. My experience has been with rooting Samsung phones, and one of my concerns is tripping an equivalent KNOX meter. Reading between the lines, it appears that the Pixel 2 XL doesn't have anything like that and that it should be possible to completely make the phone stock again. Am I correct?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Rukbat:
Maybe Knox make economic sense to Samsung, AT&T and Verizon, but I consider it the worst thing ever done to cellphones.

Unless you format the bootloader partition (which would take a bit of doing). I can imagine it happening, but after 45 years of developing software, I can't figure out how to do it with the tools available.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] mrkhigh:
This phone has the ringtone and notification volumes mixed. Root is worth it to have that separated; sadly I'm on Verizon. Other than that I'm pretty content.....

Hello all.

I have the HTC _622(HK) model.

I'm still on December security patch with no more updates available.

Is this normal? Anyone can confirm?

Thank you in advance all.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] jmitr:
Yup same here.

not normal at all.

Essential is on April, even Samsung (S7, S7E) have March.

The S7 had to go through carrier approval, and HTC is behind them for an unlocked carrier free phone? Pathetic.

Not to mention Essential has pushed two 8.1 builds already.

[WLP][5.0+] WallNot - LWP with Network Status, Notifications, Clock & Batt Indicator

[YOUTUBE]K1maPscWg-M[/YOUTUBE]​

I always wanted to have Live Wallpaper with neat customizable style, digital clock, battery status, notifications and network monitoring, so as a new Android dev in few weeks I have created (with help of Unity 3d Engine && Android Studio) WallNot LWP. I know there is probably a lot to fix (better optimization, add more supported apps for notifications, more customization settings etc.), so any feedback or suggestions are very welcome here. WallNot was tested on my own smartphone (Huawei Mate 9) and few other phones and looks like it work's really good.

​

WallNot - Highlights

★ Interactive Live Wallpaper

★ 3 ready to use settings presets (more to come with next updates)

★ Beautiful digital clock

★ Battery status

★ Notifications support

★ Network connections monitor

★ Tons of customization options

Features:

☆ Digital clock where you can change color and enable AM/PM mode

☆ Battery indicator with 5 elements batt bar and percentage (color is the same as digital clock color)

☆ Network monitoring with incoming and outgoing data icons, WiFi signal strength bar and name & Cellular signal strength bar and network name

☆ Cool notification icons that will show up on Live Wallpaper when you get notifications (currently supported notifications from SMS/MMS, Messanger/Facebook, Instagram, Gmail, Whatsapp, Missed Call and Reddit (only official app))

☆ You can freely change WallNot style by selecting one of ready settings presets or set you own preferences (change element color, background color, environment lighting color, scene light intensity, touch light color, clock/battery/network color etc.)

☆ For battery saving you can change graphics settings (FPS and Quality)

☆ App is free, also currently there is no ads

Google Play link: WallNot - Live Wallpaper with Notifications & More

Permissions:

You may ask why we need permission to get localization of your smartphone. That's because cellular network monitoring permission is in one package with localization permission, and currently there is no way to separate that. If you wish to get animated information about notifications on WallNot Live Wallpaper - you have to give app permission to read notifications on your Android OS.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ratsalad:
Hi guys, having serious issues here and hoping someone can point me in the right direction to resolve them.

In all 'Smart Phones' I've had including the S3, S5, S7 etc I've been able to copy the entire contents of the internal storage to the external SD card or my Desktop PC with no issues at all, but on this S9+ It gets about half way through copying then stops, the 'copying' dialogue just disappears. I've tried in normal powered on mode, booting into TWRP and all result in the same problem, it's most annoying, I want to backup the entire contents, reset/reflash the ROM and then copying the internal storage stuff back but it just won't let me, unless I go through the tedious route of copying folder-by-folder...

I thought it might be an issue with my PC but just tried it on my laptop with the same result....

Anyone else having this problem? found a resolution?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ila420:
Are you copying the content via cable or wireless connection? Try switching this, also notice when the process breaks, copying which folder or file, try excluding that as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ratsalad:
Thanks for the reply, ethernet cable mostly, on a gigabit network, I have tried wifi and that failed too, basically I have about 105 files, mostly folders but a few about 20-ish standalone files (documents etc) obviously the actual file count runs into the thousands, copying always gets to about 55 or 56 out of that 105 then breaks, every single time, I have the same issue going back too, from the PC or SD card to the internal storage, I didn't have this problem on my S7 Edge a couple of weeks ago. I thought it might have been caused by me flashing a debranding firmware (xeu from H3G and back again) but I always flash then factory reset when I do anything like that ( that comes from my old HTC HD2 custom ROM days ;) ) but I've had this issue from day one on the S9+ as there was no root when I got mine I just copied my files over to go unrooted for a while until the Devs plied thier magic, well tried too, as that's when this failure malarky started. This is currently my 2nd S9+ with a 3rd on it's way and will be here on Monday. I've convinced myself that there are some serious hardware flaws on the S9+ and I'm realy hoping someone could say do this, do that and it works....

I guess it could also be Oreo, I have heard rumours that it's not the best Android version to have been released - I'm hoping that one or two of the many very knowledable people on here could help me, if not that I hope the replacement has come from a different batch and is okay, fingers crossed eh?

The Issues I'm having with this device is seriously giving my loyalty-to-Samsung mojo a severe knocking... :(
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] prestonmcafee:
I'm not so happy with EMUI 8/Oreo on my Mate 9. Several widgets don't update, requiring me to change the screen resolution during the day (weird temporary fix). I'd rather run Nova but EMUI pushes against that. I have a pretty good backup phone (ZTE Axon 7) so I thought I would give a generic system image a try. The last time I rooted and installed an alternative ROM was 2014, so I'm rusty. I successfully put minimal fastboot on a PC, unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP 3.2.1-0 (something may have gone wrong already at this point since I accessed it by vol up + power, rather than vol up + vol down + power). Then I installed the generic system image. It booted, but gave error messages at boot. Perhaps all I needed to do was install it a second time, but instead I tried installing a different image, achieved bootloop, made matters worse, and was rescued by the amazing and wonderful FunkyHuawei.

I am thinking about trying again, but I wondered if an expert would write a more patient guide that provides the exact steps to flashing a generic system image. By the exact steps, I mean with links to files and what you type in minimal fastboot (if indeed that is the right program), or when it is best to install from an SD card. I'm sure such a guide would get more people to try other ROMs besides the generic ROM.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Wirmpolter:
By a generic system image, you are referring to wanting to install an aosp image (treble ROM), correct?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] prestonmcafee:
Yes.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Wirmpolter:
And obviously you still have your bootloader unlock code?

Also what Mate 9 version do you have and what exact firmware is it running?

I can help ya out no problem. Just obviously want to make sure you avoid going through that again
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] prestonmcafee:
Thanks, Wirmpolter! I have the unlock code, but it shows as unlocked, at least I get the dire warning about the device being unsafe on boot. I have the US model, build number MHA-L29 9.0.0.360 (C567), with both Android and EMUI versions listed as 8.0.0.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] prestonmcafee:
Sorry, MHA-L29 8.0.0.360 (C567)
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Wirmpolter:
Oh...You're already bootloader unlocked that makes it even easier.

I'm using the system.IMG form the thread below this paragraph. Tried a few different aosp ROMs and it seems to be the best so far. Aside from a couple things of course. And the honor 8 Pro is the same CPU, GPU found in the mate 9.

https://xdaforums.com/honor-8-pro/development/rom-t3758564.

In the main post of that thread, just follow step 2 and 3 and you'll be good to go for having an aosp ROM.

As for magisk/root... You can follow my guide below that I posted the other day. Just let the aosp ROM boot up once first. Also I can extract the ramdisk.IMG you'll need if you can't once you check it over.

https://xdaforums.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-install-magisk-mate-9-running-t3773878

Basically in a nutshell to get setup on an aosp ROM is as follows

1 Download the ROM from the first thread i posted

2 Extract the system.img to where your adb folder is

3 Run command prompt from there

4 With your phone powered off. Hold the volume up button and connect it to your computer (fastboot screen)

5 Run command fastboot flash system system.img

6 Then type fastboot reboot but when you goto run this command get ready to hold the volume up button when the screen goes off so you can get the phone into stock recovery

7 Once in the recovery, perform a factory reset

8 Reboot the phone and should be good to go

Need to do first boot on its own before rooting
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] prestonmcafee:
Thanks!!!

It will be about a week before I can try again but I'm looking forward to it. Are you pretty happy with it?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Wirmpolter:
Yeah, fairly happy about it. A few bugs though but nothing major. Get better standby drain and about the same SOT time as EMUI. The only thing that is lacking is the camera in aosp doesn't use both cameras.

There is the stock camera port (works with magisk) but it's lacking a few things like video recording doesn't work... And umm not sure what else.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] prestonmcafee:
I needed to install an update, enable developer options and enable OEM unlocking (which was greyed out) before it would install. Here is my earlier post:

Dang, didn't work. Here is what I did.

-reset phone, but did not enable developer options.

-extracted and placed system.img in the minimal fastboot and adb folder. Ran a command prompt with administrative rights (win 10)

-shut off and connected Huawei mate 9 by USB, holding vol up

-vol up brought the EMUI restore screen. Shut off and tried again, same outcome. So shut off and tried vol down, and that brought up the fastboot screen. It reported phone unlocked but FRP locked.

-ran command "fastboot flash system system.img" and get:

target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes

sending sparse 'system' 1/4 (460796 KB)...

OKAY [ 11.167s]

writing 'system' 1/4...

FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)

finished. total time: 11.183s

I suspect this is due to the FRP locked condition.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] prestonmcafee:
Now I've run into a different problem: the EMUI screen gives me the options of

Download latest version and recovery

Reboot

Shutdown

It does not give me the option of a factory reset. What seemed to work was holding volume down through a couple of boots, when EMUI gave me the option of a factory reset. This gave me what appears to be a fully functioning system!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Wirmpolter:
Yeah, the FRP lock would prevent fastboot commands from working.

So, your system is back up and running?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] prestonmcafee:
OK, now that I have it up and running, here is the procedure I used, fixing what are either typos or variations because my system was slightly different. I unlocked the bootloader using instructions from:

http://www.teamandroid.com/2017/04/08/huawei-mate-9-unlock-bootloader/

I used Minimal ADB and Fastboot from

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

I downloaded and extracted the system image from the link Wirmpolter provided:

https://xdaforums.com/honor-8-pro/development/rom-t3758564

Here is a slightly edited set of instructions that worked for me:

a. unlock bootloader

b. reset phone

c. enable developer mode (settings/system/about phone tap on build number until developer mode is enabled), enable OEM unlock and USB debugging

d. check that FRP unlock and bootloader unlock worked by booting into fastboot screen (for me, hold VOL DOWN while booting)

1 Download the ROM from the thread above

2 Extract the system.img to where your adb folder is

3 Run command prompt from there (or use MA&F's desktop icon, which does the same thing)

4 With your phone powered off. Hold the volume DOWN button and connect it to your computer (fastboot screen)

5 Run command: fastboot flash system system.img

6 Then type fastboot reboot but when you goto run this command get ready to hold the volume up button when the screen goes off so you can get the phone into stock recovery

7 Once in the recovery, perform a factory reset [eRecovery didn't have this option, so I rebooted a couple of times while holding vol up and it eventually gave me the option to factory reset]

8 Reboot the phone and should be good to go
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] prestonmcafee:
Up and Running!

I'm up and running. Thanks! So far, the only glitches are:

While Android can see and format the SD card (a Samsung 64GB), the SD card is invisible over a USB connection and Google Maps and my music player can't see it. File explorer and copy files to the SD card, so the SD card works.

The camera is terrible, but you have a fix for that.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] irony_delerium:
Firmware Finder (they have Windows desktop and Android apps for it, and there's also http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/ which does the job just as well, though it's all in Russian.)

Find the FullOTA-MF firmware that corresponds to your model, download the 'update.zip' that goes with it - on the website, it's under the link 'update' in the same row. If you do it on your phone in the Firmware Finder app, hit "Download" on the relevant detail screen and it'll prompt you for which files you want.

Once you've got the update.zip, extract it, you'll find a file UPDATE.APP, which is what the extractor wants. If it throws up an error, disable CRC checking of the extracted content. (I don't recall what the label for it is and I don't have it installed on the machine in front of me...); and yes, you'll want RAMDISK.img from it.

Magisk Manager wants to create a patched ramdisk image. When it updates, it'll want to update the ramdisk image on your device (which it'll be able to do since it's running with root privileges itself anyway), but for the first pass, it needs that image provided and for you to manually flash it.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] prestonmcafee:
Thanks!

That is perfect. I downloaded the correct file from FF and I will try installing Magisk tomorrow or Sunday.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Wirmpolter:
The magisk manager app apk you just run on your phone to install it, no side loading required.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] prestonmcafee:
Thanks! Magisk installed! To flash the camera app, I first extract and flash kernel.img from update.app with fastboot, put the camera zip (extract first?) in the magisk folder on the phone to install it with magisk?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] prestonmcafee:
That worked

That seems to have worked.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Wirmpolter:
Worked okay? Don't think you need to have done the kernel part. But if it worked, then that's good.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] prestonmcafee:
The AOSP is working great! Thanks, Wirmpolter! It is fast, my widgets update, battery life seems fine. I really like not having the Huawei junk. Since I use Nova, it looks the same but works better.

At this point, my only bug is the SD card -- I can read and write with the phone's file manager to the SD card, but apps don't see it (e.g. my music player, and Google maps won't store to it) and when I connect a PC for file transfer, transfer to the SD card is not an option. I can probably live with 64 GB without undue problems. There seems to be some loss of quality in the camera, too, even with the stock camera installed via Magisk.

I'll summarize this thread in the next couple of days to give a guide to installing a project treble AOSP for those who haven't done it.

One question -- how do you update the OS? I like having current security patches.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] prestonmcafee:
Bugs so far:

Mute in speakerphone doesn't mute, although it does get a bit quieter.

Headphone jack doesn't work. No sound through headphones. The weird thing is that it detects the headphones. If you play music without headphones, then plug in the headphones, the speakers get quieter, about 3db. Unplug the headphones and the sound turns off. Speakerphone works on calls. Moreover, the headphone jack works on calls. I don't have a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter or I'd try that.

Update: This is apparently a problem with the built-in equalizer. Turning the equalizer off makes the headphones work.

The SD card isn't detected by most apps, including Titanium, though it is detected by Files. So for my Titanium backup, I write to Mate 9 memory, then use Files to copy to the SD card.

No other bugs so far.

It seems that our PDA's are the same size as a NAVIGON 7100 (see here), so if you go into ebay and put that in it comes up with the right pouch (370031956312) and these even had a belt loop. When I get one I will post up what they are like!

Ive just got mine, build quality is not great but for the price is ok.

Its a tight fit, taking it out is fine but replacing it neads care.

The belt loop is only double stitched and I dont know how long it would last. Perhaps if you are an office worker then it would be fine, but climbing in and around cars for me it might have to be back to my old krusell horizontal universal pda case.

Zip-up padded leather case

For those who don't need a belt clip, I found that the zip-up padded leather case that came with my iGO Stowaway folding keyboard (e.g. here at Expansys) is a perfect fit for my x7500. The keyboard doesn't really need a case, so I just keep it loose in my "portable office bag" along with its sister BT mouse and some A2DP speakers.

The case protects my Athena nicely while it's in my pocket at all times, and as I have BT-8010's I can pretty much control the phone side exclusively from them. Now just need to get me a MBW-150 bluetooth watch and I think I'll have it wrapped up... :cool:

Hi again,

Just to update on this pouch case. This guy has a 100% ebay feedback score and only charges $2.95 postage to any international address:). I contacted him to make sure it was correct. If this case fits the athena then its a bargain.
