[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] champ784:
I've never had an issue with LOS, but that's probably cuz I like minimalism in my devices.. but when it comes to bugs or anything, is it stable, would you say? And as nice as exFAT is, I typically use EXT4 some I'm a big Linux guy.

Do you use any of the Samsung apps by any chance? I use the notes app and PDF editor and wasn't sure if they're usable
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] droidbot1337:
[MENTION=5290269]champ784[/MENTION] my issue with LOS is that it has little customization when compared to other ROMs. As far as bugs go, I haven't seen any. The Samsung+ or whatever app is present so you can just the apps I guess. I don't use any of them but they are there. You can make a TWRP backup before you try any GSIs. If you don't like any of them you can just flash back. Just make sure got make sure you go up your files elsewhere or you'll end up with a huge image.

Gotcha, sounds good! Thanks!

You can compile a new version of vold that will work with newer versions of android.

Also, Exfat should work fine on this version - https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases/tag/v123

Seems to also work fine in Havoc, plus you get a lot of customization back.

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ewingr:
I'm fairly reluctant to root the phone. I have had an excellent resource on here pretty much warn me against that.

I really want to put a different font on the phone. That's really the only reason I interest in rooting. I'm not wanting it just to be more decorative...I find the bold font hard to read in whatever app may be presenting bold text.

So anyway, l'd hate to do the root (which I understand is not really a full root), and then find it doesn't allow me to install the new fonts anyway.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
Rooting is 'full', just that technology (Android 9/10) is changing.

For AdAway app you must enable Systemless hosts (option/module in Magisk Manager), for modules Magisc automatically handles symlinking to the read-only System

So, even from root explorer (sugested MiXPlorer), you see as if AdAway wrote directly to the file system/etc/hosts, or that BusyBox tools are applied directly to system/xbin

Since EMUI 8, Huawei replaced Boot with Ramdisk, and since EMUI 9.1 Ramdisk is also read-only, hence Magisk must patch to Recovery instead

Because of that, you cannot have TWRP if you go for root (don't consider an alternative solution to flash TWRP over erecovery). But formally speaking, TWRP is not part of root (on the old systems, you could have TWRP without root, vice versa, or both). Even with TWRP, TWRP could not change read-only System, and it cannot see dynamical linking active only when system is running (Magisk running). Plus, because of new encryption since EMUI 8, TWRP cannot handle Internal storage (don't consider alternative solution to completely wipe Internal storage and format it without encryption)

All together, from system, systemless works fully seemlessly (as 'full' root). Just you don't use TWRP

To root:

- Install Huawei UpdateExtractor (PC), download update.zip for your 9.1.0.252 c432 from FirmwareFinder, unzip and extract Recovery_Ramdisk.img

- Copy Recovery_Ramdisk.img to the phone, install Magisk Manager, choose Install and then Patch a file, check all three options Preserve AVB, Preserve encryption, Recovery file

- Copy patched_boot.img (rename to patched_recovery.img or so) to PC and flash from Fastboot to Recovery (similar like flashing TWRP) - of course, Bootloader must be unlocked (you have code) and OEM/FRP must be unlocked

- You must boot to system through recovery (because Magisk was patched to recovery), if Magisk Manager shows rooted, you are done

To unroot:

- In case of bootloop or anything: just flash stock Recovery_Ramdisk.img back to Recovery, and you are back to stock

- Regular unrooting: take Uninstall from Magisk (and later, optionally, flash stock recovery_ramdisk.img)

- In case of OTA: unroot (regularly, as above), accept OTA, root again

Btw, you could update your sig now (no more EMUI 5)
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ewingr:
Thanks for all the info.

One thing I did not understand from that: will rooting then allow me to add different fonts?

Thanks for the reminder on the sig. I've been thinking of it but procrastinating...which means I would ultimately forget.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
Font size can be changed in Settings /Display

I never changed system fonts but there are Magisk modules to do so, search by Google, eg:

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ewingr:
Maybe I just am having a mental block...I can't find the firmware in FF. I searched on each of these as criteria:

MHA-L129C432

MHA-L129C432E7R1P8

9.1.0.252

9.1.0.252 c432

MHAJ-L129C432 9.1.0.252

None of those searches found a FW for L129 for the 9.1.0.252 version. I did see a lot for MHA-LGRP2.

I used FF on the phone. I downloaded FF for the PC, and can't figure out how to use it. I put a model in on the Main Page, nothing happens. I see no way to put a model in on the Search Firmwares page.

Of course, I was updated to 9.1 via OTA, so all the work I did getting to 9.1 did not involve downloading the firmware to my PC, so I don't have it from all that work.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
Look for MHA-LGRP2-OVS - see screenshots.

You can also find through Web:

https://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=MHA-LGRP2-OVS

Btw, there are several b252 packages there, all the same size (and probably all ok) but I was told that package number #279403

is the one that is distributed by OTA
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ewingr:
Thanks.

I saw the MHA-LGRP2-OVS ones, but I thought I needed to find one with identical name to the one I'm on.

This stuff doesn't make much sense...at least not logical. Only experience and/or help makes it possible to get it done.

Appreciate y our help.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ewingr:
Well, I don't know what's going on. I downloaded the FW from the link you provided, as well as from FF on the phone.

The one from the phone, once I transferred it to the PC, wouldn't extract anything from the zip.

The one from the link extracted, but when I loaded the Update.app into Update EXtractor, I got this error:

So, I then downloaded a different version from the web site (282444), and got this in Update Extracter:

Maybe it's warning me to not root:silly:

I am going through the thread about the extracter tool now to see if I find anything helpful. First blush looks like I'd need to make a profile file that is outside the limits of my knowledge. We'll see.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ewingr:
I found a post saying:

Sounds good

So, I figured I need to start by re-unlocking my phone. But at the site for DC Unlocker, the following message seems to indicate I can't unlock:

I'm on Android 9 with security patch 3.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
OMG - I think Im writing you THIRD or FOURTH time that the same unlock code you obtained will still work!!!

Because the code is bound to the serial number of your phone and will work for unlocking/relocking for the lifetime of your phone

Huawei is just making harder and harder to obtain the code (in the old days Huawei was giving the codes immediately and for free through their own page, now with the new EMUI versions it is needed to physically open the phone and use Testpoints and code providers charge you 30 Euros or more) but once you have a code (no matter when and how you obtained) , you can use the code the same way as always (fastboot oem unlock/relock ...)
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] 56_kruiser:
OMG, yes, you have. BUT the site that provided the method to do it says it won't, per the quote I put in my post. I'm inclined to believe you, you have been a very good source and patient. But, I was wondering why would they say it won't work? That is their exact words, about their tool.

That being said, I guess as that I had the code before upgrading to 9, then just following the fastboot commands with that code will work, and in fact doesn't even use their tool. . So, I'll continue with that then. The information out here can sure be confusing.

Thanks...

[EDIT]

I figured that likely it would be the ramdisk.img file, and through Google search I found a thread that verified that. So, I'm continuing on.

Thanks...
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] 56_kruiser:
Here's an interesting thing.

After patching the file, and seeing the instructions here, I find that the file they referenced in Downloads is a different size from the one I selected to patch, which was the RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img.

Do you think that indicates a problem? I presume I should use the one I selected, which was your instructions, but wonder if maybe something went wrong with the patch.

Again, just being cautious.

Thanks for your help.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
So, are you the same as previously, [MENTION=717159]ewingr[/MENTION]?

If so, have you successfully unlocked Bootloader with that old code

OpenKirin instruct to patch Ramdisk and that was correct for EMUI 8.

(If) yu are on EMUI 9.1, hence you need to patch and flash Recovery Ramdisk

When patching from Magisk Manager (MM), you have to check all three options: Preserve AVB 2.0 DM-Verity, Preserve Force Encryption and Recovery Mode.

Does MM report any error while flashing or success/ok?

You can rename patched_boot.img to like patched_recovery.img, doesn't matter, but you must flash it to Recovery (like flashing TWRP to Recovery).

Right after flashing, boot by key combo to that patched Recovery (like booting to TWRP by key combo, after flashing TWRP).

Of course, you will not flash/use TWRP here
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] 56_kruiser:
I don't imagine you'll find this hard to believe, but I got an error on the flash attempt :o

I renamed the patched file to: Patched_RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img

I entered this command:

I got this response:
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
Again, if you are on EMUI 9.1, forget Open Kirin instructions (for EMUI 8).

You must patch Recovery Ramdisk and flash to Recovery Ramdisk, so:

fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk Patched_RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] 56_kruiser:
I did in fact not use anything from the OpenKirin. But I apparently used wrong syntax for the command. But you providing that will help.

.......

It didn't work at first pass. I think this is why.

You will recall that in the discussion I had about the OpenKirin instructions that I mentioned they referenced a patched file in Downloads. Well, stepping through it again, and reading the small print, it says "Patched file is in downloads". So, it did not update the file I had put there, it used that to create a new patched file that was saved in downloads.

So, I will not go ahead and download that one and continue with the instructions. I bet it works this time.

---------- Post added at 10:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 PM ----------

I think I have success. But of course, a couple interesting things:

So, you indicated I need to "boot through recovery". So I expected to hold power, and vol-up to boot into recover. But it booted to the phone.

I got a request to grant Superuser to Tasker, which I did.

I loaded Magisk, and it says it is installed, but doesn't have any indication if it is rooted. I presume it is, given the request for Superuser for Tasker.

Just now had it pop up with a notice that there is an important system update patch. I don't know if I can stop it, or if I should care about it. I did say "later" so for now, it is not installing.

One other question: Is the method to have root accomplished in the future by booting with Power+Vol-UP? If not done that way, it boots non-rooted? (I ask because it did get booted up w/o holding pwer+vol-up, and it did not show Magisk installed. After that was when I booted with the key sequence.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
Magisk by default means you have root. You can install and disable modules in Magisk Manager, but you cannot disable root - for that you must Unistall Magisk (an option in Magisk Manager).

In MM you have a tab/menu showing all apps that were granted root - you can suspend or even revoke to some

Check in Settings/About, does it show you have b252 or b252 Patch03. I think that it thinks you are on b252 without Patch03, and it wants to install that patch.

But I don't know would you loose Magisk if you accept (or even get bootloop), so better disable authomatic OTA updates for now.

Believe me, similar 'Important' patches were receiving users (starting at the same time) with various Huawei phones running EMUI 9.1, discussing on XDA what it was, but there was never an answer, nobody detected any change for something better or worse.

So you don't loose anything if About showing b252 without Patch03

To boot to Magisk you must boot with Vol+ pressed - with USB discinnected.

If connected by USB to charger or PC, booting with Vol+ pressed will boot to eRecovery.

Normal booting (without Vol+ pressed) boots to the system (Android), but with Magisk disabled (MM will say that Magisk is not installed), so no root.

Reboot again with Vol+ and you are again rooted

If it ever comes an OTA for higher than b252, you will have to Uninstall Magisk from Magisk Manager and then accept OTA (and root by yhe same procedure one more time, with recovery_ramdisk.img from the new firmware).
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ewingr:
Anomoly with root...

Root is working, albeit with anomalies.

If I boot w/o going through the recovery/Magisk, the phone boots up w/o root, and all works fine. When I go through recovery/Magisk, it comes up rooted, but with the following untenable anomalies: Dialer/Phone does not load; Contacts are not available; As result calls I receive do not show who is calling, and I cannot make calls out.

Given that changing fonts do not give me the fix I was chasing (see this thread), I may, unroot. But given that I can boot up w/o root and it works fine, I'll hold off un-rooting for a bit.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
There is a fix for that DialerMessages/Contacts issue. You can search on XDA, or I will find you tomorrow.

Same problem reported by users of various Huawei phones rooted with EMUI 9.1, and same fix worked for all of them - so if you don't find on XDA forum for Mate 9, maybe you find on XDA forum for P10 or Honor 9 or something

I've seen the fix, know it was easy but don't remember details now

---------- Post added at 01:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 AM ----------

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=80499403&postcount=8
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ewingr:
Well, it's interesting...

This morning the phone seems to boot to root mode even if I do a normal boot, ie. don't use the key method to go through recovery. So, I figured I need to follow the adb commands from the post you linked for me.

So, even though I am in root mode, verified by opening Magisk to check, and by the fact that contacts and dialer don't work. But when I attempted to go through the commands, I got permission denied.

So, I just un-rooted. I can always re-root if necessary. But given that installing fonts do not fix the problem I'm chasing, (which by the way I did find some that don't require root to use...so the info I found saying root required for fonts was inaccurate) I have no need to root.

Now if I can just get the font style on the phone figured out, I should be good to go.

[MENTION=7786725]zgfg[/MENTION]...Again...I have appreciated your diligence, patience and support though this. The forum is pretty inactive...I guess many folk have moved on to newer devices.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
1) As always before:

ADB debugging must be enabled in Developers menu

2) Also as you had to do before:

When you connect to PC by USB, look on the phone and grant ADB debugging to your PC

3) New thing:

When you execute (from the PC)

arb su

look qgain on the Phone, Magisk Manager will ask you to grant root privileges to ADB (by su, you are entering as superuser)

Only then you can continue with the rest of commands to fix dialer/messages

EDIT:

Once you do 1, 2 and 3, , you will not need to repeat them anymore
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ewingr:
Ah, yes, that all makes sense.

Interesting, I find that often USB debugging gets turned off for some reason. I used to never have that problem on previous phones. But I do check it often because of that, but I did not check it when I was down in CMD doing the ADB commands, nor did I think to check about granting the privilege. Many years ago, when I was rooting in the Samsung's, when a privilege was needed like that it would pop up a grant request on the screen. This is quite different, I guess that's not the case, although it did do it once for what was I mentioned earlier.

I'll keep all this in mind.

Question: when a person steps through those commands to fix the anomalies, do you know if the previous texts can be restored after that it's been done? I do backup with Hisense.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] zgfg:
It also popups for privilege or so the rooted Huawei, but if screen is off and you didn't configure notifications on the screen off, you will miss them

For the second question I really don't know since I don't have any rooted EMUI 9.1 - but problem and solution/fix for Contacts is common for all rooted Huawei devices with 9.1, so you can search or ask on the corresponding XDA forums and threads - like the two I sent you in my answer yesterday

LDPlayer is a free Android emulator for PC designed specifically for mobile gamers. By making use of the Virtualization technology, the developer team has released two Android kernels, which are Android Lollipop 5.1 and Android Nougat 7.1. Thus, you will find LDPlayer 3 which is running Android 5.1, and LDPlayer 4 which is running Android 7.1 on their official website.

LDPlayer has developed many gamer-oriented features, like keyboard mapping controls, native screen recording, operation recorder (record script), multi-instance, etc. The multi-instance feature, which would be a great helper for those who want to play different games on one PC simultaneously, can allow you to create several virtual windows without using too much computer resources.

Moreover, LDPlayer is one of the lightest Android emulators that offer fast processing speed both on high-end and low-end PCs. It has been optimized for some high-demanding games too, such as Black Desert Mobile, Free Fire, World of Dragon Nest (WoD), etc. Though LDPlayer is not as famous as other emulators, it’s anticipated that more emulator users can find this new beast for gaming.
[Android General] Deleted member 1890170:
With regards to the mentioned multi-instance feature and your statement that this doesn't use too much computer resources I've to say: YOU ARE WRONG. Player instances share computer resources, don't hook them. Both the CPU-cores and the RAM-amount you assign to be used by a player instance are taken off of given CPU-cores and RAM-amount.

Think about, if your time allows ...

Typically a player instance must have 2 CPU-cores and at least 2 GB RAM assigned in order to more or less flawlessly run a modern game, e.g. PUBG Mobile Lite, etc.pp.

This in mind and knowing Windows 10 according to Microsoft exclusively at minimum needs 2 GB RAM and 1 CPU core to run, for example on a Windows 10 machine with a quad-core CPU and 8 GB RAM you can only successfully run ONE player instance at same time.

Peoples using emulators like LDPlayer always should do the math!
[Android General] RobertShawn:
Thay have an instance manager that can control how much cpu/ram you assign to each instance!
