I'm in the same boat for the LX1.

I can point you in the direction which kind of helped me. In my case, I can get software on it and boot, but it fails safetynet (there is no root on it). So Google pay doesn't work. Deal breaker for me.

Hi All,

After much deliberation, I have bought the Mediapad M5 8.4 (wifi only) to replace a Nexus 7 2013 32G model (which i broke the screen while trying to fix usb port...)

WTF !!! this is NOT a TABLET !!!!! it seems it thinks its a oversized smartphone...

it might not be a big deal to some, but it gets annoying....

I will try to live with it for a bit, hopefully getting used to it...

BUT....

is there a way to make it a "tablet" (i know people sugessted other launchers, but these do not do the trick....)

Help me get this tablet back to being a tablet....or is it a pad...hmmm...... Huawei.... i bought a tablet...not a 8.4 inch phone that cannot even make calls !!!!

Thanks,

George
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] GuestK00136:
There's definitely some odd design choices. Specifically the odd button placement and the lack of the USB C video output.

But the caveat is who else is attempting premium level Android tablets in 2018?

Samsung and Huawei.

Potentially Xiaomi.

Maybe Asus and that's highly questionable (given their choices of internals).

The fact is that Android tablets are a dying breed. Even Apple's sales have dipped slightly year after year.

-----

But aside from Launchers (Nova, Apex, etc) and the ROMs section of this forum, there's not much else that can be done to circumvent an OEM's design choices.

My advice; if you're unhappy, return the product and look at something like a Galaxy Tab S2/S3 or Xiaomi MiPad 4.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] thref23:
Hmm, I bought this tablet in part because it was an oversized smartphone. Why have a separate phone, tablet, and laptop when I can basically combine them into one pocketable device? Huawei seems to be the only company really rallying around this mold of late, which I appreciate.

What exactly makes a smartphone vs a tablet? You can change DPI via Developer Options. One of the Open Kirin roms might help as well.

I also bought M5 8 LTE because it is a oversized phone, I used M2 8 LTE for 2 years and couldn't bee more pleased with the device, and made the upgrade to M5 8 so I get a faster and newer software, I just love this form factor and a big bonus with this is that I can make phone calls. All I one device for me
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] algiuz:
My guess is because they won't have to make changes uptading firmware, which is in my book better to have software support than getting few Android tablet features. This is the least of it's problems.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] mroshaw:
It's not the tablet's fault, rather it's the apps - or the app developers, to be precise.

When you build an Android App, you design and define layouts based on attributes of the device on which the app is running - or, as the case with many Android app developers these days, you don't! Therefore, without appropriate layouts defined for the resolution and ratio of the M5, you get what you see in a lot of apps: the M5 acts like a big fat phone.

However, you can find apps that work well: Crashlands is a game that gives you visibility of a large area of the map when played on the M5. Netflix looks brilliant, using the ratio and resolution of the display.

If there are particular apps that don't look good, contact the developers. Given the limited use of Andoird tablets these days, in relation to the number of phones, don't be suprised if the dev simply can't be arsed to build in layout support for what's effectively a "niche" device category.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] o_giorkos:
Hi,

if I undestand what you say, then my previous nexus 7 2013 , was 1920 x1200 = 1.6 Aspect Ratios

the mediapad me 8.4 is 2560x1600 = 1.6 aspect Ratio again...

also, re resolution on the mediapad is higher (which someone might guess its a bigger screen - ok..not necessarily ) !!!

then again...my moto g5 is 1920x1080 is still 'high' res, but a smartphone nevetheless... and it acts like a phone..like it should...

yet again...my lenovo tab a2 10 is 1920x1080 ..same res and aspec as my moto g5, but acts like a 'tablet' as it should

so...I don;t really see that this is the reason why is acting as a phone (I am saying this without any android app development knowledge as you do...so i might be completely wrong !!))

for example...chrome on nexus 7 has tabs and 'new' tab tabbi thing like a desktop version does...on media pad is like my motorola phone...no visible tabs... (i installed firefox but does not render pages as 'accurately' as chrome)....

gmail the same...i know its not a huge problem....but a problem nevertheless....oh boy do i miss my nexus 7 nice soft feel.... (im actually plannign on buying a used one ...again....)

anyways...thanks for the info !

I agree. Since mine is not even 1 week old, I had not tried it with much apps yet, but at the moment, I am getting funny render from the Facebook app. It draws correctly in landscape mode but squeeze the person's profile done to the left while having full size normal suggested people on the right while in portrait mode. Not sure if it even knows if it is a phone or a tablet itself as:

a. things display correctly on my K1 Shield with FHD display

b. things display correctly on my Axon 7 with QHD display

Not sure about who's fault is it but the same app (Facebook) "draws" correctly on my Axon 7 which has QHD display like the M5.

Some interesting reading on the Android Dev pages:

I've developed a couple of apps in the past and dealing with multiple devices, resolutions, DPI and ratios is an absolute nightmare! It's one of the reasons building for Apple devices is that much easier.

I just got the Huawei M5 8.4 (replacing Nvidia Shield Tablet) and didn't notice anything different about the Huawei M5 8.4 until I used the YouTube app which looks more like it does on my Xperia Z5 Premium the it did on the shield tablet. Specifically minimized videos looks absolutely bizarre, no matter whether if you're in landscape or portrait mode: they don't shrink correctly.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] Michiel0912:
You can change the DPI in development settings and your apps will go into tablet mode. Oddly the back and task manager button are gone and once you reboot it will go back to the original DPI. I tried to get a bootloader unlock code from FunkyHuawei to install a treble ROM but they could not unlock it and gave me a refund after 14 days. All this and the lack of Bluetooth codecs made me return the tablet. For now I will stick with my 2015 Tab S2.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmp567:
I searched (and searched) so forgive if there's an obvious solution but I want to be able to change what a notification says. Example: whatsapp wants to say that so and so texted, I change it so it always says "app updated".

Basically what an app like hidemytext does except they only exist for sms texting.. not just apps in general. The only ones I could find were "Privacyhider" and "cloneIt" but they crash immediately when trying to open an app (an issue they claim to be working on but I think those apps are pretty much obsolete now). Plus, they seem to clone the entire app. I really just want to modify the text of the notification.

PSB does it perfectly for stock sms and mms but again, I'm hoping to be able to use it on a 3rd party app. Maybe there's an app out there that's primarily designed for something else but has this feature included...

I bought a Krusell, i can't remember the size but it fits the Tilt very well. The others I used were for the 8525 which is close in size but they didn't fit well. Taking it out takes a little practice since you have to push from the bottom of the case and slide it out, but i love the quality of leather. It's also a fixed clip. So you may hate it, but my 2 cents

Has anybody tried the Android P DP4 GSI on the Xiaomi Mi 8/ Mi 8 SE?

Couldn't get the treble P GSI to boot on my Mi 8 SE but I managed to get the Oreo GSI running (doesn't have notch support though).
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Jeik:
Which GSI booted on your SE?

Other Mi8 SE users reported that every GSI they flashes resulted in a bootloop.

Can you also mention the last MIUI version you had when you flashed a GSI?

As for P, you tried the semi-GSI, right?

Some people said that they had to fix things themselves for the image to boot but did you try flashing Magisk or setting Selinux to permissive? There should be a "permissiver" zip on the P gsi thread if I'm not mistaken.

dm-verity and selinux could cause a bootloop.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] pravsterrr:
Got my Mi8 SE running MIUI 9 Chinese.

Unlocked the bootloader and flashed the latest Xiaomi.EU MIUI 10 ROM as a base and then tried both: GSI for phh-Treble AOSP and Resurrection Remix phh-Treble. Both worked surprisingly well, the notch being detected was the main issue. I followed this guide on xda.

Yes it was the P semi-GSI that resulted in a bootloop. Might try the permissiver zip.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Ydraulikos:
Unlock your bootloader, flash a TWRP and format your data partition. Then flash and try to boot the latest xiaomi.eu rom. If you succeed, format /data /system /cache and flash /system with an arm64 GSI for A only devices such as https://github.com/phhusson/treble_...d/lineage-v21/system-arm64-aonly-gapps-su.img
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] marcel112:
ok, i am running xiaomi.eu rom so thats allready done.

The img i download is allready the lineage os, what i see

And is there a completely different forum/site where just. only trebel based custom roms are stored and discussed.

Is it gapps included, because normally it has to be flashed separtly.

Can you just format and go back to any miui rom, and when wanted to trebel based, just flash img file in /system again

Sorry for all the questions
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Ydraulikos:
Gapps are included in the above link. You don't need to flash anything else. And yes you can always flash the stock rom. Just remember to erase /data when you change between MIUI & AOSP based ROMs.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] marcel112:
ok, so its like normal business.

Normally when i switch between custom i allways full wipe

/dalvik

/data

/cache

/system

As long as format data was once, i dont have problem..

Can you provide links for more like RR for SE?

I didnt knew there was development at all for SE on custom roms

EDIT: https://xdaforums.com/project-trebl...opment/resurrection-remix-phh-treble-t3767688

this one is for RR, and if i am correct you linked me to the first in the V5 section, so the xiaomi mi 8 se is a ARM64 A-only device?

But what is the difference between gapps and vanilla
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Ydraulikos:
Gapps include google services, vanilla does not.

Mi 8/SE are ARM64 A-only devices. You can try flashing any treble based rom with a high chance to operate normally. With a decent treble implementation, there is no need for custom rom development. The device specific blobs are moved to a separate partition and are provided by vendor.

On the Moto Z it was a "fastboot -w" command but I don't know if it's the same on the Xiaomi phones and I don't know if it's safe ( it theoretically should be but I have no clue if Xiaomi did something and if disablung encryption might cause a brick because of Xiaomi) .
