Camera is working!!

I was doing a discord call, and when I pressed the video call button, just for curiosity, it actually worked! So I downloaded two camera apps, OpenCamera and Google Camera, and they both worked! :) So on the latest build, yes, the camera does work!
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Yes, video recording it's working with OpenCamera, I already tried .... unfortunately I couldn't save any photos ... so it's working partially :o
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] donster42019:
Yeah, I didn't actually save any photos, but I did save a video.:o Perhaps you could update the description of the ROM to include video calling and video recording.

Hi.

Finally, someone took up this device (Lite 10).

I will not try yet, because there is no time for experiments, but I sent you a small donation to your Paypal. Lets support developer who makes it instead Huawei which sucks hard.

Good luck to you and us. )

wipe cache/dalvik and go???
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ossizwei:
Did a dirty flash this way yesterday (BAH-L09). No problems, all is working well. But i dont test camera, because i dont need it. My smartphone camera works well enough for me.

Great thanks to the developer.

Hi, thanks for your works, soon I will try your rom.

with these roms is it possible to see netflix in hd? has the drm been modified?

Oh nooooo ! I have read now that it is only for the verion lite, can it work on mediapad m8?

[MENTION=2335078]surdu_petru[/MENTION] Many thanks for this LOS16/Pie9.0 build.

It's the only route for an up-to-date Android OS on my BAH-W09 since Huawei decided not to bother updating it any longer, even before the US/China troubles :)

It works very well, and the only Huawei features I miss are the Home button functionality (which I read you are working on) and the magnetic sensor for flip cover wake/sleep.

I do have one significant problem, however, and I'm not sure if it's an Android 9 Pie/Lineage OS/unofficial-build/user-configuration issue...

I have a 128GB exFAT formatted micro-SD card from in my tablet, set up in stock EMUI 5/Android 7 Nougat, and the LOS16 build isn't seeing all the 100GB+ of music/videos/photos/books I have on there.

The Music directory, for example, is showing as a 0 byte file, instead of an 85GB directory.

The card works as expected in my LG phone, or Windows laptop - all the data is still there.

Am I missing something like a file-system permissions setting, Android privacy permissions setting, or volume name or some arcane protection activated because SELinux isn't active etc ?

Any advice welcome because admitting defeat and re-formatting the card in the current LOS16 build and then copying back 110GB of data to the card from backup across the LAN is something I'd *really* like to avoid ;)
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Please, didn't I understand exactly what is the problem with your card? e.g , in LOS 16.0 can you create a new folder (with Files app), copy a file here and then restart the device to see if you have access to the latter file ? Thanks !

[MENTION=9930649]surdu petru[/MENTION] could you make a version compatible with mediapad m3 no light?

Sorry, NO !
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Micromind:
Great great job for this Huawei's abandoned device!

I have some question/issue: I miss the finger wake-up feature, when device is sleeping, I used my finger to wake it up and login (no pin, no power button ...).

Second: I user Parallel Space for a second google Account (most, for playing games... even if I'm not so young!); it works, but tell me app need some permission which I give, but tell me again it need the same permission ... so I can't connect my game to the second google account.

Thanks for your time and great job Petru!

Sorry, today first issue solved (I reinstall both TWRP and OS) ... second problem solved by using a second account on tablet. Not so fast as Parallel Space ... but it works.

Thanks!
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Unfortunately LOS does not implement by default a solution for the fingerprint gesture, and at this moment I'm not able to fix it :crying:

Also I'm still working on camera, but unfortunately , I haven't found anything concrete here to help us :crying:

Thank you very much for understanding !
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Prezi1987:
can you tell me which one worked ? i'm trying to go back to stock rom and relock my M3 but since couple of days i can't find correct rom that doesn't return error 9 during instalation, only LinageOS seems to work everytime.

Hi [MENTION=2335078]surdu_petru[/MENTION],

great work, thank you very much! I flashed my BAH-W9 with this ROM. Now it feels like a completely new device! Everything is running smoothly, I could not find any problems. The malfunctioning homebutton is even an advantage for me, because I've used it more often accidentally. That can not happen now. The missing camera function does not bother in the least. Really great work!

Best regards,

On my M3 Lite 8, on this ROM, when I lock the screen a couple of times, switch users, or just turn on the battery saver, the colours get all messed up, until I turn on/off KCAL calibration/greyscale. Do you know a long term solution to this small, but annoying problem?

best regards,

[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] kuraikaze:
Dirty flash/wipe worked fine for me too :good:

P.S.: My previous issue with MicroSD card not registering contents was fixed by deleting one of the two identical /Android folders from it's root.

No idea *how* the filesystem allowed two seemingly identical folder names, but *shrug* - killing one worked. Weird.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Micromind:
Hi, almost everything perfect .... but I miss the second account on the tablet!

I configured the second account, second user, in this build I can't choose which account to log into the tablet.

May you fix it?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
I'm sorry, but I never used a second account. I saw that there were a few users which already use a second account, maybe you can ask them about your issue. Thanks !

Update

Hello everyone, and thank you surdu_petru for your work! I've successfully installed LineageOs on my CPN-W09 some days ago, but I saw that now there is a new build: what should I do to update it?

Thank you!

Hello everyone,

I installed the rom and the first boot is stucked on the Checking for updates screen. I can't go on. What can I do?

Thanks so much

ROM: lineage-16.0-20190915-UNOFFICIAL-bach

TWRP: twrp_3.2.0-0

GAPPS : open_gapps-arm64-9.0-nano-20190920

I report below the logcat output.

Edit:

Now it's working. I reflash the rom with a full wipe. Thanks so much surdu_petru for your amazing work

In the hope that the camera will work soon (Skype doesn't work), I made a small donation.

Hi, i installed Google Camera on my MediaPad an it says that there isn't enough space on my Tab.

Is there a´maybe an access rights problem or somewhere a wrong "save to" folder in the system?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Thank you very much !

Please, can you try a clean install ? Go to TWRP and wipe from advanced wipe all apart "Micro SD card", than flash LOS & GApps.

Good luck !
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] k626:
Hi, thank you for your reply! yes, I saw those, but I don't know how to "dirty flash" something... :cyclops: but l'Il investigate! ;)

thank you,

[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
You shouldn't wipe something, just flash the new build, after the new build was flashed you need to "Wipe Cache/Dalvik" before to "Reboot System" as shown in the screenshot below !
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] k626:
ok, done! wonderful, it was quite easy :D

I made a little donation too, thank you again for your work and your patience ;)

Hi!

you can add the multiuser function by adding these lines in build.prop (I used BuildProp Editor)

#Multiuser

fw.max_users=5

fw.show_multiuserui=1

fw.show_hidden_users=1

fw.power_user_switcher=1

Save and reboot, and you'll see the user icon in the drop down menu! :)

ciao, v.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Henry_Jones:
Hello, many thanks for this ROM, the devices (a W09 and a L09) are running smoothly now.

Just out of curiosity, how can I go back to stock Rom, as I've skipped the backup part as usual ;)

I've found a lot of ROM's here: https://huaweiflash.com/how-to-flash-huawei-mediapad-m3-lite-10-stock-firmware-all-firmwares/

and also some ways to flash them: https://huaweiflash.com/how-to-flash-huawei-stock-firmware-all-methods/

But all fail more or less:

- TWRP will not flash any of the files (OTA or FullOTA)

- The Settings-> System-> SystemUpdate is not available (of course)

- I've no idea how to reach the Project Menu from the Lineage OS, it does not work with the calculator and there is no phone app on the W09

- Flash & Flashy Tool require two files, which are not present in the zip files to download.

Is there any way back without a backup ?

It does not matter much, as I don't use the camera that often and everything else runs fine.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
You can try to unpack UPDATE.APP ( you should try to find yourself the tool here on XDA for unpack update.app), split the resulted images for vendor & system to raw images ( e.g : simg2img SYSTEM.img system.raw ) ... rename system & vendor raw to system.img & vendor.img, put boot, recovery, vendor & system images to internal storage & boot to TWRP !

Here you need to use "dd" commands to flash them in the appropriate partitions ( e.g: dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system) ... and reboot your device from TWRP in recovery ! If you are able to boot on stock recovery, here is mandatory to wipe all in order to encrypt device bach, otherwise the device will not boot on stock Huawei firmware.

Good luck !

EDIT :

It's mandatory that your update.app to be a FullOTA-MF and match your device previously updated to LOS 16.0 !
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Henry_Jones:
Thanks for the fast response. It went quite far:

- App unpacked

- System & Vendor.img expanded

- copied everything to the device

- dd'ed everything successfully

- told twrp to reboot to recovery

But after that nothing happens. If I hold Volume+ to reach recovery it just loops back to the red warning text. The same happens if I don't press anything, which is accoding to your statement "will not boot if not wiped in erecovery".

I still can reach the "fastboot" mode, so I guess I can start all over with LOS 16.0. --> Edit: returned to LOS 16.0 succesfully

Maybe I don't have the right FullOTA to begin with. Is there anything to look at beside the "BAH-W09" ? If the build number is important, is there still a way to find out the correct one ?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
First, thank you very much :o: ( you know for what ... )

Yes, I'm also stuck on LOS 16.0, because my device refused to boot on stock recovery or stock erecovery !

You can put your device in fastboot mode easly ( from any state ) ... just connect USB cable, and force restart your device ( press power more thanh 10 seconds) and immediately press volume down button !

Your firmware should be something like that : BAH-W09C100B251 .... but there is more firmware for W09 like C100/C233 and so on ...

The correct firmware can be grabbed only from stock Huawei Nougat ROM, from build.prop :

In my case, on stock Nougat I had :

adb shell

getprop ro.build.description
BAH-L09-user 7.0 HUAWEIBAH-L09 C100B018 release-keys

So my correct firmware to be flashed via /dload method or "dd" is : BAH-L09C100B018 !

Unfortunately my device does not want to boot into stock recovery nor erecovery, although before I had more than 10 different Huawei devices, and I did not encounter this problem in any device.

( My previosly Huawei devices : Huawei Ascend P6, Huawei Ascend 620s, Huawei P7, Huawei P8, Huawei P8 Lite, Huawei P9, Huawei P9 Plus, Honor 8, Honor 8x, Honor 7x, Honor 9, Honor 8 Pro, Honor View 10 & currently MediaPad M3 Lite 10 BAH-AL00/L09 ) !

Thank you [MENTION=2335078]surdu_petru[/MENTION] for developing such a great ROM for a brilliant but abandoned device!! But I have an issue: during the first setup wizard, after connecting to my wifi, the device remains stuck at searching for new updates. I tried wiping system, cache and so on, but the problem persists. The only way I found to bypass this problem is disconnecting from any wifi and skip the unnecessary steps which require a wifi connection. But in this way the configuration of my tablet is incomplete, therefore I can't remove the notification that says "configuration preparation"... Please fix this problem or tell me how to come out of this issue... thank you?

P.S.: I cleanly installed your ROM, I used nano GApps
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Henry_Jones:
Ok, then I'll leave it be.

If even you can't return your device to stock I'll stop trying and stay with LOS. ;) After all the "real" camera is with me more often then the tablet ever will be.

Even it's my first Huawei device, usually I'm a HTC guy, I'm impressed. It took 4 € to unlock it, as they closed the service for it. But so far it was worth every cent of it.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Indeed there is a issue with setup wizard on the last update, I don't know what's going on at the moment, but I'll check soon.

To fix you issue, please made a clean install with the previous update of LOS 16.0 from here ( lineage-16.0-20190822-UNOFFICIAL-bach.zip ), and Gapps, boot and completly setup your device. This time there will be no issue with setup wizard. Next, reboot device in TWRP and just try a dirty flash of the last update of LOS 16.0. In this way you'll have the last update working like it should.

Thank you very much for understanding !
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] mikwii2000:
Ok, thank you. Now I try?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Ok. Please let me know if it's working well ☺
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] mikwii2000:
Thank you [MENTION=2335078]surdu_petru[/MENTION] for your fantastic ROM and your quick replies! I have done as you told me, and now all is working perfectly :good:

---------- Post added at 09:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 AM ----------

I would also like to ask if there are problems flashing the latest version of magisk to get root permissions ... or if it is better to install another package e.g. SuperSU... thank you for your replies?

Edit: I found the official SuperSU add-on, and I managed to gain root access?

Edit2: I tried to play some music on my mediapad m3 lite 10" and I discovered that audio is almost without bass, and it's too weak. (With stock rom audio was very good!) Can you try to make audio thicker in the next update?? It is very important for me, because I use this tablet to watch Netflix and to play music on Spotify??

Thank you very very much for this fantastic rom!!
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Henry_Jones:
I see the same problem, but you can also solve it with not connecting to WLAN in the setup wizard. The google account and transfer from a former device can also be done later.

It's surprising I didn't see the problem with the last device but I set it up without connecting to WLAN on purpose and therefore missed it.

I often set up devices that way and never encountered any negative side effects doing so.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
This issue with the sound was also reported by someone else, unfortunately I have not found a solution to improve the sound so far. But that person told me he installed ViPER4Androd, and the sound was comparable to stock after that !

Ok, I already tried to not connecting to WLAN due to setup wizard.

But how did you solved the notification ? which its say "Preparing for setup..." ? at least on my device it doesn't go on, it hangs there :( like in those screenshots :
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Henry_Jones:
Ok, I saw that as well, but as the device worked otherwise without problems I just removed the notification and killed the task. :)

But you're both right in this case, a flawless Installation might be better to prevent further difficulties which might arise from this.

Just for completeness I tried the the procedure with flashing the "old" LOS and then dirty flashing the new one after it. This worked as described without a problem. So at least I'm prepared for further updates ;)

But even there I had to go through the wizard twice (during setup once and then again) to remove it from the notification area.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] mikwii2000:
I had the same experience yesterday, when I went through the setup wizard two times... But now all is perfect and I'll wait for new updates?

---------- Post added at 07:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 PM ----------

I'll try this app and I'll tell you if it works well (I have two identical devices, one with the stock rom, so I can compare the sound)??
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Henry_Jones:
I tried this today. It only works sometimes and it's a mess to get it to work. The supporting thread is about 300 pages long. :(

Both of my devices are flashed already and there is currently no easy way back to stock ROM. But I'll use it mainly with headphones so not much need for me to get V4A working.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Ok, I'll wait your feedback :)

There is already two people who already managed to go back to stock !

[MENTION=1499055]marciu[/MENTION], he posted here on the first page, and [MENTION=5049266]nateify[/MENTION] wich posted today early on TWRP thread !

You can ask them if you really want to back to stock, but I guess they used /dload method .

EDIT:

If my device is not able to boot on stock recovery or erecovery for some unknown reasons, this doesn't mean that all others devices can't boot on stock recovery/erecovery !
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] mikwii2000:
I easily installed ViPER4Android v2.7.1.0 which I found here in xda-labs. After granting SU permissions and rebooting, I tried to adjust various settings and I got a much better sound quality, although still a little worse than the stock ROM (for the basses). I'm not an expert or even a programmer, but I leave you the screenshots with my "personal" best settings:angel:. I hope you can do better:good::good:

Settings 1

Settings 2 with bass boost
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] mikwii2000:
Edit: I disabled AudioFX and further increased the bass on ViPER4Android and the sound has further improved

---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 PM ----------

Now the ROM would be perfect if you could find a way to enable the home button and the sensor that turns off the screen when the flip cover is closed. Anyway, thanks again for the work you do for us??
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] ossizwei:
Works for me too on BAH-L09. AudioFX is disabled.

Yesterday i played with my mobile network settings. Changed mobile network preferences from "LTE" to "GSMonly" and then to Global. After setting back to "Global" phone calls are working for me on BAH-L09. I tried a phone call with room speakers on. Don't know why, but phone call works include working mic. Tested it several times this day. One call to my son for 20 minutes. So I'm very happy now having a big, big smartphone.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] mikwii2000:
Hi there, has anyone tried to install Magisk on this ROM? Is it compatible or is there some risks?

No problem with Magisk here on BAH-L09. Magisk hide works well with my banking app.

Does anyone else have issues with wifi with this build (20190915)? It appears to be relatively sporadic, I might wake my tablet up and open an app, and the wifi drops. Sometimes it reconnects by itself, other times i need to click on my wifi SSID in the list for it to connect again. WiFi doesn't "turn off", it just disconnects. Don't have this issue with any other devices connected to wifi, and didn't have this problem with the tablet when on stock. Sometimes while using my tablet the wifi will disconnect again, other times it remains on for a longer period. I have the current power mode set to most powerful (least power-saving), however it also happens on the middle setting.
