Device info: Honor Play, Model (Indian): COR-AL00

As you'll know EMUI 9 is globally rolling out, I have received the Pie update on Jan 10th which is sized about 4.04 GB. Again on Jan 18th I received another update which is an Android Security Patch dated December 1, 2018. It is sized about 240 MB.

See the screen shots below.

Whats new in the update:

> Nothing much. I felt not much of any difference in my daily usage after the update except the ones mentioned above. Digital Balance feature is good to keep yourself away from mobile if used properly. Or you can lose the Balance and abuse it anyway. Its your choice after all.

> Battery performance is same again. Its good like before.

> EMUI interface has some minor changes like revamped Call Screen, Recent Apps, HiTouch for Shopping, etc.

> Gestures are same as previous ones. Still senseless.

swipe from left/right edges for back (****ty gesture)

swipe up from bottom center to home

swipe up from bottom right/left for Assistant

> Suggestion here: disable the Assistant gesture in the Settings for better multitasking.

Bugs:

> I have one. It may not be present for others I suppose. After rebooting device goes to zzzVIBRATIONzzz mode on its own. I have to manually turn off vibration mode every f time.

> EMUI is just a mimic of iOS like all Chinese mobiles do. But transitions are not as smooth as iOS. Sometimes UI transitions jitters just like that. Of course Android mobiles can never make it up to Apple's iOS when it comes to interface design.

> Apps got killed in the background. May be due to aggressive memory management. Keep your favorite apps padlocked in the Recents screen to prevent this from happening. I hate Recents screen personally. Its like going back to old iPhone interface.

You should know that:

> Third-party launchers (Nova too) won't work properly from EMUI 9 as Huawei announced officially.

> Widevine level is L3. Some may want to know this.

> Themes are limited as of now as EMUI 9 is new to the market.

> Its a worthy upgrade for me. No going back.

I highly doubt whether Honor Play will have any Custom ROMs developed in the future as we'll know bootloader cannot be unlocked. XDA page for this device is useful only for information & news sharing I think. Or correct me if I'm wrong. Thank you.

Let me know if you have any queries regarding update...

:):o:D;):p:good:
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] badaas:
Best way to avoid aggressive memory management is to change display to 720p!

As mentioned by another user on here ?

I don't notice any loss of quality of screen, working fine for me!

[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ravi_thekant:
Go to Settings>Battery>App Launch. Uncheck those apps you want to keep running in background i.e. manage manually. That's the solution.

If accessibility permission of 3rd party apps are being revoked automatically and you are annoyed of turning it on repeatedly, it's the solution.
[Honor Play Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
Thanks for this. I removed almost all apps from running in background. The usage has become significantly better.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alien.baba:
I have G5520ZCU1CRK1 ROM for my SM-G5520 and trying to edit ROM with EFT Dongle to added Google Play Store.

This ROM has LZ4 Compression files, so i extract them all and repack into .tar file as they were.

1. I download OpenGapps for Android Oreo 8.1.0 as per my device "arm" and unzip it.

2. I Edit "System.img.ext4" with EFT Dongle.

3. I Move every app to system/app, priv-app to priv-app and permissions to permissions

4. Now i Repack ROM and Flash it.

5. ROM Flashed Successfully and My phone get boot loop error.

Please Help me here what i am missing?

Note: It's my first time to Edit any ROM I tried alot of pack & repack tools but they didn't work for me. so i tried EFT Dongle to edit ROM and it work's for editing.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] vaggosgr:
Simple question. Will I be able to do OTA updates if I root and install twrp? If yes, will I need to root and install twrp again after each update?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] whizeguy:
Yes, you are able to use ota. (full roms must be flashed, os knows if you have root so it will download it.

Yes, updates will replace boot img with stock so you need to get twrp and root again. You have two options:

1. Download full rom zip (Funk has links for both stable and betas here on xda in the guides section)

2. Boot to recovery, flash full rom. (DO NOT REBOOT)

3. Flash twrp (use Blu spark latest, it always works)

4. Reboot to twrp, flash magisk.

Option two:

1. Install OTA from system, when it tells you install is complete, reboot to finish DON'T DO IT

2. Open magisk app, go to downloads and search for a/b twrp and install it ( there is only one module) after install is done DON'T REBOOT.

3. Go to main screen of magisk, press install, install, install to inactive slot (after ota) and after that install is complete, it's done.

Things to think about when updating: some Magisk modules may not be up to date when you update, this can cause bootloop. Some modules can cause system UI to force close. If you get this, use magisk uninstaller and see if you can reboot, if it works, then atleast you know it's modules.

There is also a possibility that substratum and swift installer can cause system UI force close aswell. Before install uninstall so you can install again after all is done.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] *system error*:
Good write up.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] RASTAVIPER:
Simple reply.

No, you need full roms to flash manually.

And yes, you need to reflash TWRP after each update.

Ok filarako?

[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] travnett:
Hello everyone

I have a problem with my P10 Lite. Once the phone is plugged in to the charger google play automatically updates app, which is fine, however the screen always lights up once the app installs. On other phones e.g P20 Lite google play does this in the background. It is quite annoying when I'm in bed trying to sleep and suddenly the screen turns on and off constantly as apps update.

Does anyone else have this problem and know of a fix?

Thanks in advance for your help.
[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] djg269:

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] GizmoFreak:
OnePlus 6 is getting older so thought about giving a new life to it. Below are the steps to get the exact same UI look of OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition on a OnePlus 6.

1. Set Wallpaper

Set wallpaper number 5 as home screen wallpaper for default look otherwise set any.

2. Set Ringtones

Go to Settings > Sound and set the below ringtones.

Phone ringtone - Set "cust_ringtone.ogg" as phone ringtone.

SMS ringtone - Set "cust_mms_notification.ogg" as SMS ringtone.

Notification ringtone - Set "cust_notification_sound.ogg" as default notification sound.

3. Set Boot Animation (root required)

Replace OnePlus 6 boot animation with OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition boot animation in Root > System > Media.

4. Change theme and accent colour

Go to Settings > Display. Select dark theme and set "#e0610e" as accent colour.

That's it.

Download files from XDA or from PhoneBatao.

Full tutorial with pictures available here.

Check out my YouTube video if you have any doubts.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netcracker:
Hello,

I just want to know can i install d802 rom on f320l ??aosp, lineage etc
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gchan93:
Well, Depends.

It depends on which ROM you want to install.

If the rom that you're looking to install is built on android nougat and below, yes, you can install them, and you can simply look up guides that help you install them.

However, if the rom is built on android oreo or pie, you cannot install them as no kernels for 320s currently support oreo and pie.

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] speedanderson:
So I've searched around XDA, Reddit and the rest of the net trying to find any root method for this tablet. I just got this tablet for free as a deal with T-Mobile.

I see a lot of guides on XDA for older Tab A's, and also for what appears to be the WiFi variant of mine (a lot of 380 and 385), but nothing for T387. I've blindly rooted stuff and made mistakes in the past ambitiously trying to find root on older devices and have ended up in soft bricks and (even a hard brick on LG devices) in the past, and I'm not looking to make that mistake again. I do know that Samsung's variants have kind of homogenized a bit more the past few years also.

Will these root/TWRP guides for the 380/385 also work for my 4G variant of this tablet, or am I going to have to hope and wait someone makes something a bit more specific?

Just wanted to inquire.

Or feed this thread to show how amazing people we are :cowboy:

Btw I'm quite impressed by the tab A 2018 (our version), my nexus 7 died 2 month ago and I got the galaxy for "free"with a data plan. I chose it instead of a Huawei Mediapad T5 thinking that they would be equally slow with their 2 Gb of ram... But the Tab A is very fast and handle everything I throw to it very well and timely imho (YouTube, browsing, very light multitasking).

I don't know how the T5 would have behave but I'm glad that I chose the smaller 8' tab vs the 10" T5.

Stumbled across this thread. I've bought one on OfferUp that is google locked. Are the steps to bypass the same as for the T387 the same as for the t580 or t380?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] ashyx:
Forget it. Its a carrier bootloader locked device. No root, no custom recovery, no custom software of any kind is possible or ever likely to be.

This is why no devs are interested in the device.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Logical_Foreal:
:/

I've got the Verizon version (T387V), only to find there's no root support, or custom roms available. I understand it's only a year old, so developers might be working on it now *shrugs*

Roms I can live without, but I need me some root.

I hope at least you can find what you're looking for here.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] goworekr:
The root method of SM T385 should work on SM t387.

Rooting SM-T380/T385 via Magisk Manager APK

1. Unpack stock firmvare ***.tar.md5 that is currently installed on your tablet (they MUST BE the same!!!).

2. Then unpack AP-block from step 1 to obtain "boot.img" file.

3. Download & install on tablet Magisk Manager APK.

4. Put "boot.img" on SDCARD.

5. Run Magisk Manager, in setiings set "Patch kernel", then setup the Magisk zip (Wi-Fi must be connected to Internet ).

6. When asked, point Magisk Manager to place on SDCARD where "boot.img" saved.

7. After some time You will get "OK".

8. Find on SDCARD file "patched_boot.img". Copy in on PC & rename to "boot.img". Then archive it to "<any name>.tar".

9. Set tablet to download mode & flash above tar-file via AP-slot of Odin-programm.

10. Tablet will reboot & ask to wipe all data to factory's params. Do it... Be noticed, that all passwords, setting, google registry will be wiped.

11. After wiping & rebooting install Magisk Manager APK again... And YEAH!!! You got root!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] XDA.Samsung:
This root method doesn't work on T387, since Magisk currently doesn’t support Iz4 compressed boot image. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] BakedinRC:
So this method definitely doesn't work?

any SM-T387 firmware can be flash into any SM-T387 devices i have a SM-T387W device and was able to flash SM-T38V and SM-T387P and also SM-387AA so maybe that can be exploited

Sadly, I have a MDM lock on my device. So it doesn't allow for adb access since I can't get to the settings on the device. When you turn the device on, it forces a web browser to a MDM account password. No bypasses so far. Went to recovery and knox doesn't allow for factory reset or wipe. I tried odin, but usb debugging is turned off so can't flash images. Also no twrp support

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Godfather_way:
check if your rev version is not 3 if its not 3 then you can downgrade to a lower version of android and as for MDM you can try to look up the IMEI here IMEI LOOKUP SAMFW and flash a new rom onto it

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] tommy1292:
I am experiencing the same issue. I have the t387v on 8.1.0. I have tried multiple things: Boot in safe mode, set passcode to enter it incorrectly to trigger a reset, download mode with odin to flash stock firmware. I did get close! I was able to interrupt mobi control upon setup - threw it in airplane mode closed out all apps, went to settings and spam clicked developer mode before it disappeared and toggled on usb debugging, I got it on but it switches off when I click another toggle in developer mode. Tried to use Kingroot but was not officially in usb debugging mode. The only other article I read that worked was someone intentionally bricked it with odin and flashed stock firmware and it did not require mobi control at startup. I tried to brick it but odin keeps failing when I try to flash a different combination file. Im stuck!

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] oldwolf613:
I am desperate: I tried to port my phone from Sprint to Tello. Got the phone unlocked, but it failed to Activate, even with all the help the Customer Service people could rally (much better than Sprint telephone customer service). So I tried to go back to Sprint. They claimed that a phone coming from a pre-paid network cannot be ported to a post-paid network. The people in the Sprint store were much better than those on the telephone Customer Service line. They got the number ported; but need to have to phone (or whatever is associated w/the IMEI) changed from pre-paid to post-paid by Sprint IT people.

If this doesn't work, I will have to return to Stock 7.1.1 on my Sprint HTC U11; in order to use the phone on the Tello network. The folks at Tello Tech Support told me my phone won't work on Tello with a custom ROM; so I have to return to the Stock Sprint HTC ROM.

*** I'm hoping this will not wipe my internal memory, or SD card ***

I am on the Bad Boyz v2.0 ROM now. I would not complain if I could return to Stock Oreo, or Pie... but Nougat will do for now.

I also need to know how I would go about rooting the newly Stocked device. Magisk is cool; but I'll take what I can get.

Previously, I used to be more active here, but due to a bout of bad illness (doing better now) I have been away from here for a long time (i.e. I'm still on Nougat). References to where to find the required files & apps will be most appreciated along w/tips on major steps to take; to refresh my memory. A line by line walk-thru would be heaven-sent; I've been a week without my phone & I've already missed calls from my doctor's office.

Thanks very much in advance,

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] JamilG:
I have the same increased stand-by battery usage (1-2% per hour). After monitoring battery usage with a Gsam Battery Monitor app, I noticed that 'sms_snd wakeup' activity was active for several hours.

After googling, I found out that sms_snd is a proximity sensor's process.

Try to disable 'Pocket mode' in Settings -> Lock screen & password -> Advanced section.

I am testing it at the moment, will share my results after a day of usage.

Please try and share yours.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] TNSMANI:
You can as well switch off the phone.

You have a severe mobile signal issue. The place where the phone was (while sleeping) has a very bad mobile signal. So for you it might be a solution to switch off the network. If you can't do that (as most of us can't afford to do that), another option is to switch to 3G or 2G where the signal might be better.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Blendman974:
Actually I don't think it will disable this process. A lot of users are reporting that there proximity sensor is always on (small IR led in proximity always on). This activity could be the source :/

EveryThing is linked xD

---------- Post added at 06:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:44 PM ----------

Yes I could switch it off at this point xD. But it's faster to wake up when it's on airplane mode. Anyway I don't personally need network when I'm sleeping.
