I got the first couple of reboots before installing Magisk, but more frequently after installing it. I'm thinking to remove it, but not sure due to the warning message you get when you go to use Magisk Manager to uninstall it. I don't really have a need for root, just installed Magisk to help with ROM testing. Maybe I'll restore from the pre-Magisk TWRP backup I made...
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Half Alive:
Just hit restore image.. Then test and see if you get any reboots.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] thunderz1:
Thanks that is great news. I am new to MAGISK and have the props module installed however I do not understand 'changing fp + force BASIC'. If you could provide some further details that would be much appreciated and hopefully will help others.

Thanks!

[MENTION=2057543]wallak.1973[/MENTION], thank you very very much for your generous donation, I'm glad to see you're happy with this custom ROM !

In this week-end or maybe sooner I'll release a test kernel for your device with internal & external storage kernel drivers ( without any modification ) from Huawei Mate 8 Oreo kernel ! If you still have random reboot issues after that, you should take in account to change your external storage with a new one maybe with better performance !

I'm not sure, but I'll try to implement this stuff in the next releases ( I don't know if it will be on Oreo or Pie )

Thank you very much for your feedback !
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] martymcbro:
Nice, I want to try this too, because with this ROM play store keeps telling me that my banking app is not compatible with my device. It used to work with stock ROM.

Can you tell me which fingerprint to use for BTV-W09? I forgot to save the one from the stock ROM.

Thanks
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Half Alive:
Run it from terminal with su then "props"

The first option to change the fp and I picked mate 20 pro.

Then the second one from the main menu to Force BASIC.

Make sure to enable *Hide magisk* from magisk manager.

I used the mate 20 pro. I guess you can try with others. Also passed when I picked from other brands.

Much appreciated! Netflix is now available in the play store.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] 30adi:
Hello. I don't know if this is a issue, but I will ask:

Is this view normal in the last update? Is normal to see the quick tile so small?

XDA page in chrome is also way too big.

Device: BTV-DL09
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Yes, because I switched to tablet mode .... but you can edit anytime how you want your tablet to look from : settings-> display-> display size !
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] martymcbro:
OK, I'm passing the safety net check now. I used Mate 20 pro. But I still can't see my banking app or the netflix app (like [MENTION=4139041]thunderz1[/MENTION] wrote) in the play store.

My banking app is this one:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.dkb.portalapp

Do I need to do something else to convince Google that my device is safe? I changed the fingerprint, when I was already logged into my Google account on this device. Don't they remember that the device was unsafe before? I also logged out and in again..
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] infamous_black:
If you passed safetynet, clear data for the play store, google play services and google services framework.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Half Alive:
Ok.. Random reboots to erecovery still happen without magisk (much less frequency)

So I suspected that it has something to do with ram as for me it happens when opening an app.

I found an app that's called "Easily fill ram" from the play store. And indeed it's related to ram.

So can you test with the app please and hit "Fill full ram", as soon as it hit 89% then it should reboot.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] martymcbro:
OK, thank you. Seems better now. The Netflix app just appeared but my banking app is still missing. Must be some other reason..

Maybe I could try with the original fingerprint from Mediapad M3 Stock ROM. I wonder if someone could provide it?
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] thunderz1:
You may also want to make sure that Google Play Services is checked under MagiskHide in Magisk Manager. If Netflix is available this is probably true but worth checking.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Me,You,and Daigorou:
Thank you for developing our tablet. You are very strong.

I have been using your ROMs for two weeks, and I decided to return to Stock ROM, because my BTV-L0J has random reboot many times.

Its rotation is still unstable after fastboot flash original CAST, but it's very curious because its rotation works well on two apps, Camera and Gmaps.

I hesitate to post my comment because it's negative...

However I agree with his post, because when I used Chrome, especially when I opened a lot of tabs, it very often rebooted.

I don't know his model, but if he has BTV-L0J like me, it's quite suspicious. Other models that has 4GB ram, on the other hand BTV-L0j that has 3GB ram.

---------- Post added at 07:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 AM ----------

I've read all comments in the thread, and I think that other models that arrive quite stable. But unfortunately BTV-L0J is still unstable, because BTV-L0J is not real Mediapad M3.

How can I stop all vibrations? I have them turned off everywhere but every notification vibrates. I want to kill them all system wide.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
[MENTION=4139041]thunderz1[/MENTION], thank you very much for your donation :o

Ok, my device has 4GB RAM and it's BTV-DL09 .... I'll try to check a kernel from a device with 3GB RAM to see the diff ... maybe there is something RAM related and your issues will be fixed in this case .

EDIT :

I want to check something ... please, I need a result of this command :

from BTV-L0J with Stock EMUI Rom ( rooted ) & running Android Nougat if possible !

Thanks !
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] thunderz1:
I have not been able to find a way to stop them system wide however if you tap the Privacy Guard notification for any running app you can revoke vibration. This completely stop vibration on a per app basis.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Half Alive:
My device is also BTV-DL09 4GB Ram. Your device doesn't reboot when you fill the ram?

Edit: Just for testing I flashed an older kernel (4.4.0 Aug25) and it no longer reboots when the ram is filled.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Yes, my device reboot on 89% ... thanks for telling me that on 4.4.0 there is no reboot ! I'll check this !
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Vesko01:
Hi, after installing the ROM I noticed that I cannot find the Netflix app in the Google Play Store. Is there a solution to this? Thanks in advance!
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Me,You,and Daigorou:
Thank you surdu_petru.

Right now, on my BTV-L0J running Stock EMUI Nougat ROM of Mediapad M3、and the ROM is modified by Me. So it wouldn't really be your request.

I have already written what BTV-L0J which is not true Mediapad M3, it means BTV-L0J modified by NTT DOCOMO (Japanese Mobile Carrier). So I had to modify Stock EMUI to eliminate error, e.g. Rotation etc.

Do you want the result of a original BTV-L0J ROM? A original BTV-L0J ROM is not same EMUI of Mediapad M3.

---------- Post added at 12:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 AM ----------

Running Your LineageOS on BTV-L0J, the Rotation is still unstable after flash the original CAST, but it was stable on the two apps, Camera and Google Maps. I don't have any program knowledge, but it would be hint.

Thank you.

build 25.10.2020 - or: now we have a deal

Good evening Surdu,

I switched to build 25.10.2020 coming from 4.10.2020 on my w09.

Now it's running stable for 2 days now. No reboots or anything else.

Especially my two issues with WiFi and battery drain are gone.

I did not use my pad for about 20h hours and there was a loss of 2%. That's what I had with stock ROM as well. Goooooood job Mr. Frenchman!

Keep going, your work is giving me hope for mankind. Seems to be, that there are people willing to help others without getting an advantage, just altruistic.

Thanks a lot.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Thank you very much for confirmation .... I removed some unwanted wifi kernel drivers code, I guess that's why your issue it's fixed now !

I'm glad anyway to see that your happy with this build :)

After disabling Magisk, I am not (yet) having reboots, but Facebook Lite keeps shutting down. I can post, then go back to browsing, and FB Lite will often, not always, close in the background and I get an error notice.

89% RAM reboot - W09

Hello Surdu,

I can confirm, my W09 is rebooting as well, when reaching 89% of RAM-usage.

Tried to fill the ram with the earlier mentioned "easily fill ram" app.

Btw: Thanks for switiching to "tablet" layout. Now I have enough space on launcher for my apps and my beloved "bloons TD5" is runinng in tablet mode... YeeeHaaaa.

Edit: no root
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Just fixed now the Low RAM issues .... on my new fix the aplication just exit as soon as it hit 93~94%, and I think this is the good solution ... not like on 4.4.0 kernel where the application continued to run until the device become irresponsible :o
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Half Alive:
That was fast... Much appreciated.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Thanks to you I found the issue quickly ... I couldn't have found the issue without your specification 4.4.0 kernel ... there is almost 22.000 new patches added in the current kernel, and without any clue I would not have found the solution in a very short time.

I'll try to release a kernel update to fix this issue soon !
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] chris_6597:
Thank you surdu_petru

surdu_petru, thank you very much for your hard work! :good::good::good:

The 2020/10/25 version is my first lineage OS on m3. I found the same 89% RAM issue and I appreciate your quick solution to the problem.

I like phone mode instead of tablet mode. I find that videos on YouTube have a frame drop when the video speed is speeded up. Change to phone mode could alleviate the problem.

change to phone mode:

1. enable developer options by tapping 7 times Build number in setting->about tablet->build number.

2. enter developer options

3. change the smallest width to under 599 dp or below.

I would like to know the stock EMUI or previous lineage OS "smallest width" and try to solve the frame drop problem on my tablet.

update:

The default smallest width of lineagos 20201025 ROM is 609dp.

I found that I am wrong, change to phone mode could not alleviate the problem.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] tek3195:
I bought mine as a brick and used test point to recover. Never have taped display back in all the way soooo, I took the vibrator out. It's just glued in and connection is made when mounting charge board over it. Took like 90 seconds and now I know it will not vibrate. After a couple days with no problems I'm guessing it's not going to freak out without it.

This would not be the approved, supported or even suggested method and was only done because tablet had already been opened.

Installations:

- via bootloader mode :

-or easily into TWRP by choosing Install Image, select your boot image and also you should select partition : BOOT !

I hope that your device will run a little smoother than before :o
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] friedsonjm:
Installed! Testing with Memory FIll, when >80% memory usage, memory use is immediately reduced, rather than rebooting. :)
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Yes, and the application will close when it hit ~93% !

EDIT :

The solution it's 100% the same like on Mate 8 using Android Oreo !

EDIT II :

We need also these configurations added to build.prop

... but I will add them in the next update of LOS 15.1 ... of course they are not as important as my kernel fix, but they must be exist in Oreo Rom !

Confirmation new Kernel rocks

Hello Surdu, good morning everyone.

I can confirm, Kernel 4.4.62 has solved the RAM issue on W09.

I tried to fill the RAM and the system was fighting agains my RAM app from 90% and above. It was a hard fight for about 1 or 2 minutes. Increasing to 92%, decreasing to 89% and again and again. After 2 minutes the system lost and the RAM app increased to about 95% and was killed.

So, working perfect!!!

Btw. I did not change anything in build.prop.

Have a nice weekend.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Thank you very much for confirmations !

[MENTION=7218152]earlg100[/MENTION], the kernel it's 4.4.66 and not 4.4.62 and also the modification of build.prop it's not 100% required !

A very nice weekend for everyone :)

Started getting some freezes after installing Magisk, and removed for now. I have tried several camera programs, they are not able to save pictures taken.

For some reason, I can't update Open Camera.

NOTE: I have not edited build.prop
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] infamous_black:
Not experiencing this on my w09. After flashing the boot IMG, I flashed magisk agaim because I already had it installed then wiped dalvik cache and reboot. I can open the camera app with out issues.

Hi guys,

One thing I noticed when charging (maybe it has been already discussed): if I put the charging cable while powered off, it shows the charging logo for about half a second and then boots to a black screen (the first time it showed the fastboot screen) and does not charge. So the only way to charge it is when it's actually powered on. Is it common thing in custom roms?

Btw installed the latest boot image (DL09) and everything is super smooth so far (apart of the already known issues)

Have a nice day!

[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] friedsonjm:
I normally have it on while charging, but I turned it off to try this; I can confirm that when off, when plugging in the charging cable, it started to boot, but in my case, the screen simply went black and stayed that way. I had to removed charging cable, then I could boot it normally. I've not seen this behavior before, but it is not a major issue for me.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] surdu_petru:
Yes, it looks like off mode charging it's broken, I'm sorry for this inconvenient and I'll fix it on the next update of LOS 15.1 ! Thanks for understanding :o

I can confirm, that the device will boot after a while to bootloader mode if you plug the charger cable when the device it's off !

Hey everyone,

just came to say thank you for the ROM and the guide. I have a BTV-W09 and everything seems to be working pretty fine outside of the known bugs like the SD card issue. As someone stated before, I would really appreciate if the fingerprint sensor could be used for gestures like the way it was used on the original Emui system. But that's a minor thing, I'll just need to get used to the buttons on the screen.

Finished kernel update for Oreo !

Hi !

I want to announce that I have finished to update our kernel from stock Android Nougat based Linux 4.1.18 to Android Oreo based Linux 4.4.114 :o

Of course it was a very hard job for a few months totaling over 25,000 new patches/commits, but at least, now we can easily keep our kernel & custom ROM updated with the last security patches - this was also one of the reasons why I resorted to this kernel update !

There are only a few drivers adjustments left from the Huawei Mate 8 Oreo kernel and also to fix the broken off mode charging .... I'll try also to fix adobtable storage !

Unfortunately, some features of the stock Rom like flip cover & fingerprint gesture will not be available on this custom ROM.

There will be only 1 or maximum 2 updates of LOS 15.1 before to switch to Android Pie Lineage OS 16.0 !

The next update of LOS 15.1 will be based on Android Linux Kernel 4.4.114 and also with the last security patch for November !

EDIT:

Starting with Lineageos 16.0 release, I'll continue to release an update every 2 months ( or maybe monthly ) for LOS 15.1 only if there will be minimum 5 users which will use this ROM !
