Scrolling Screenshots

Was anybody able to make scrolling screenshots by using Smart Screenshots:

>> Knock firmly with your knuckle and draw an S to take scrolling screenshot

See:

Settings / Smart assistance / Motion control / Smart screenshot

The other knocking options work but not this, probably the most interesting and useful one

EDIT: Thanks to an answer fron one user (not from XDA), Scrolling screenshots can be taken much easier:

Just take a Screenshot by pulling down Notifications area, then tap on Scrolling screenshot option at the right-down corner

This way it works even with Scrolling screenshots disabled under the Motion Control

Such a 'scrolling screenshot' attached, capturing a complete XDA page from browser

Help

Hello, I just updated to Oreo today, however the google play store crashes(it opens and closes), and in settings in google options is all white. How can I fix that? Or how can I return to nougat european cust? Sorry, I'm not an expert in this.

Edit: I could do a rollback to Chinese Nougat using the HuRUpdater, which led me to debrand the phone to Europe Nougat with the HWOTA7 (with european Nougat previously downloaded from android firmware manager and the files prepared in the update folder of HWOTA7).

Thanks from your hardwork in Oreo.

The Google Playstore zip is too old.

Just installing instead the actual Playstore apk solve the problem.

I am currently working on new Network Patch - different as previous.

The Thread will get a complete update soon as possible. (ofc with new zip files, Links etc)

It's not anymore required to update from AL10-b399 (Nougat) first to b535 (Oreo), it's better to update from AL10-b399 directly to b540 Oreo...

Everything will be explained after Thread is updated.

You can try battery callibration (root required)

1) AdvancedRepairBattery

To repair cells

2) AdvancedBatteryCallibrator

Start close before phone wants to die (in your case, if it dies below 70%, then start when 75% or little more)

When finished, reboot and connect to charger, charge to 100%

In the next few days let it drain the battery down and then charge to full

Both apps available from my Mega

Currently on B540, with root and TWRP installed. No patches installed.

Am I right in saying that to get up to patch 02 I should do the following:

Uninstall Magisk, then remove TWRP and Magisk and restore the Huawei recovery and Huawei stock ramdisk:

fastboot flash recovery AL10c00b540-Stock-RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img

fastboot flash recovery AL10c00b540-Stock-RAMDISK.img

Install the OTA's, then to get root and TWRP back install latest magisk apk and patch using

fastboot flash ramdisk AL10c00b540_Patch02-Magisk_v18_1_Encrypt_AVB-Ramdisk.img

fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk P9-EVA-8.0.0-TWRP-v4.img

I don't flash two at a time (paranoia?), but always one by one

Eg, uninstall Magisk, flash by TWTRP stock b540 Ramdisk, reboot to System, and then you can still boot to TWRP and flash stock b540 Recovery, reboot to System

(Probably Uninstalling Magisk is enough to clean Ramdisk, but again paranoia :), I still flashed stock Ramdisk afterwards)

Once you have b540 Patch 02, flash TWRP by Fastboot, reboot to TWRP, then flash Magisk patched Ramdisk from TWRP..

PS: b540 and b540-Patch02 share the same stock Ramdisks (and probably the same Recoveriies), but different Kernels

Hi, I have a L19 rebranded to AL10, as per the guide. I then installed OpenKirin OmniROM Pie Alpha 5.2 (after clean install with network patch). Everything works great, except that it doesn't recognize my SIM. The lock screen shows "No SIM card - No Service" and SIM slots show as 'empty' in Settings. In About Phone, it shows 'Not Available' for SIM status. For 'MEID (sim slot 1)' it shows some sort of ID. This is the slot in which my SIM is. Do you have any idea how I could get this to work?

I copied those 3 files in the correct places (although I think that's for a different problem, but worth a try), but it made no difference.

Also, I originally purchased the phone with the L19 firmware on it from AliExpress, but the back of the phone actually shows it to be an EVA-AL00, if that's of any significance. The SIM and network are recognized out of the box with the AL10 Oreo firmware.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
IMHO, there was somebody else here or in the Open Kirin thread:

https://xdaforums.com/p9/development/roms-openkirin-aosp-collection-t3828806

with the similar problem

Your phone was originally Chinese AL00 but seller rebranded to L19, now you rebranded to AL10 and with OK Treble ROM (Pie) IMEIs/SIMs do not work

For EVA-AL00 there is also Oreo b540. Maybe you can try going back to AL10 Nougat (post #3), then rebrand by HWOTA7 (practically like in post #2 but choosing AL00 instead of AL10)

Once you come to AL00 Nougat you may receive OTA upgrade to Oreo (?), where you would not need to install NW patch since your phone was original AL00

Then, maybe Treble Pie would recognize your SIM card(s) - or maybe not, if Pie ROM doesn't properly support EVA-AL00

Sorry, too many "maybe" :)

But problem must indeed be related to your observation that by declaration, your phone was originally AL00 (before subsequent rebrandings).

Unfortunately, there are no other users with the similar situation and it's not known how/does Pie work with AL00

Btw, Open Kiririn devs have had a Telegram channel for the 'live' support

https://t.me/joinchat/EeDpi02ekfeJSBeaV4eqOw

but one channel for all Huawei/Mate phones with Oreo and running OK ROMs, hence you could not expect useful answers to such specific cases - unless there would be another user who had the same situation and who solved it
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tenshar:
Thanks, I hadn't thought about that. I was just able to find some time to try this. Unfortunately, it didn't work. I also tried it with Open Kirin Resurrection Remix OS Beta 3, which is Oreo. That also didn't work. If I move my SIM to the second slot (with OmniPie or RROS), I do have a signal, but I can only use 2G data connection because that's all the second slot supports. At least I was able to confirm that it doesn't work. So, to anyone else with an AL00: BE WARNED. OPENKIRIN ROMS DO NOT WORK WITH EVA-AL00, EVEN IF REBRANDED TO EVA-AL10!

I ended up moving to the stock AL00 Nougat rom and got the OTA upgrade to Oreo EVA-AL00 8.0.0.535(C00patch02). I side-loaded the Play Store, used adb commands to uninstall the Chinese and bloatware apps, then replaced them with google or third party apps from the Play Store. Unless there's ever a treble ROM that supports AL00 (or a patch that fixes this), I'll stick with this.

Hey there masters!

yesterday I upgraded to Oreo, its a success

If I am able to show my respect other than in this comment, tell me how I could help (donate? / betatest?)

I am quite advanced IT engineer, so maybe I could be of some help for new developments.

effort:

- 4$ to ministryofsolutions for bootloader unlock

- 6-8 hours of very focused work with my win10 and eva-p19

result:

until now everything seems to work except:

- data plans show chinese providers (not confirmed - see screenshot)

- bootloader cannot be locked (confirmed)
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
So you used Ministryofsolutions for 4 USD for Bootloader code (people usually use DC-Unloccker for 4 Euros):

https://ministryofsolutions.com/huawei-bootloader-unlock-paid-service-html

Data Plan menu with Chinese towns and provinces is actually known issue (not reported to XDA but to German Android-Hilfe forum) - in fact, it is stupid that user cannot setup Data Plan (like it worked on Lx9 Nougat) without chosing his (Chinese) town and province

For donations to developer [MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION] you can find on his XDA profile :)

Btw, there is a know problem with the lost band 20 (LTE-800) but this is probably not possible to fix
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tecalote:
The new Network Patches (will be released during this week) - don't show data plan with Chinese Providers.

Data plan is shown in your language then and not dependent on provider.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] daveh077:
Are these new Network Patches something we can flash on top of the one we currently have?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ant0nwax:
I will see when I am back in Europe how that interferes with my life, I am happy to have less Data availability :) pffft

LTE-800 (band 20) supported!

Three screenrecordings attached***, by using LTEDiscovery (root can be granted but working also without root), Net Monitor and Network cell info lite (they don't require root)

- 4g disabled, apps show UMTS bands in use

- when I enable 4g, all three apps show that AL10 initially parks to LTE-800 (band 20 but after few seconds it switches to LTE-1800 (band 3)

On the Network Monitor screenrecording you can even see that phone was aware of the four LTE-800 cells at the beginning (one serving, three neighbouring) - showing their CIDs, then it detected LTE-1800 cells and switched to one of them

It seems that LTE-800 (band 20) is not really disabled by modem, but that AL10 prefers other bands (my operator provides only bands 3 and 20, hence cannot test with other bands) - using the old/original NW patch by [MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION]

Similar observations reported long ago by [MENTION=9547341]zetamarco[/MENTION]

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78089781&postcount=1021

***Cannot attach mp4 screenrecordings, hence uploaded to Mega, you can play through browser or download and and play them

https://mega.nz/#F!JwkVyRya!Rb7OUE0z3PEpXBRxGOM-vQ

Edit: Got privately confirmed from a German user who lives on countryside where only LTE-800 is available that it works for him, and Net Monster app showing him that AL10c00 indeed uses LTE-800 (band 20) persistently - with Mobile Internet working fine

Somebody else could also test, out of the town operators save on the nunber of towers with LTE-800, since lower frequencies (longer wavelengths) provide longer range (but also lower bandwidth / serving less number of users, which is ok in the less populated areas)

Similarly, mini LTE-800 cells might be used in large malls, since longer wavelengths (lower frequencies) better penetrate through the walls

Don't lock bootloader because ota update will fail.

If you want to lock you have to

3.Type fastboot oem relock YOURBOOTLOADERCODE

4.The device starts low wipe reset and all data is wiped

5.DONT FLASH OTA UPDATES

Unlocked Bootloader does not prevent/interfere with OTA updates

Locking Bootloader will trigger low level hard reset, and you will loose Network patch

OTA or locking Bootloader may brick your phone if you have TWRP and/or Magisk

Sorry for putting it big, red and bold - every so somebody new asks the same question (answered many times) - May I lock Bootloader?

You must stay with the locked Bootloader

If "Untrusted phone" on booting irritates you, rollback to the stock and not-rooted Nougat ?

So how did you enable B20? With b540 and current network patch, it does not work at all. It doesn't even list my carriers 4g in manual network selection
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
My phone is P9 dual SIM (L19), rebranded to AL10c00, with the latest b540 Patch02, and the old NW patch for b535

Today, whille going around the town, I caught the phone at three places as attached and stayed attached to b20 (at the other places it was on b3 - never on b7 although b7 is also claimed by that operator). Eg, I was sitting in a caffee and for half an hour or more, it was on b20 and mobile Internet worked fine for me

However, for me it also depends on the operator. With the other SIM card (operator), it always stays on b3, except for a few seconds on b20 upon switching Airplane on/off or 4g off/on)
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] daveh077:
Using that app i can see some activity on my phone with b20, but not for very long, it seems to prefer band3. But that could just be the area i'm in.

Hey guys!

I have EVA-L09 with original firmware. I want to upgrade it because i have some problems with camera, battery draining... I already buy DC-unlocker code to unlock bootloader code, but it didnt work. Is there some other service / bypass to upgrade to new firmware?
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] daveh077:
You would need the bootloader unlocked for this to work. I had the same problem with battery draining and camera crashing the phone, phones over 2 years old. Getting the battery replaced fixed that for me.
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zgfg:
Package is big, over 120 MB.

AFAIK, it requires to start from b540 with Patch02 (latest OTA).

It can be installed over the previous NW patch (I had b540 Patch02 with the b535 NW patch).

It cleans the phone of all China and brings international stuff (accordingly, there are slight changes in Settings, see attached screenshots).

Playstore and GBoard must be manually installed, and it is also ready for the installation of Google Assistant

Locaton Sharing is enabled, and it seems that Launch/Background settings are now more strictly followed

I cannot test but 4G+ also works. [MENTION=6870018]Tecalote[/MENTION] now cracks to additionally enable VoLTe/VoWiFi - maybe it will delay the release for few days

There will be only one, OTA disabled patch - of course, with flavours for P9 single SIM, P9 dual SIM (and P9 Plus)

Rooting as usual, optional, via Magisk

There will be two small additional patches, only to enable and disable OTA, ie for toggling HwOUC between apk and bak extensions:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78948095&postcount=1493

And there is also a new Face Unlock patch

I've rebranded to B540 and my About phone looks like this:

System Update will show do you have Patch02 - see attachments

If OTA disabled and rooted, go by MiXPlorer to root, /system/app/HwOUC and rename HWOUC..bak to HwOUC.apk, and reboot

If you are going to install Patch02 by OTA, you must first uninstall Magisk (if installed) and must re-flash stock b540 Recovery (if on TWRP) - as available here
