[General Questions and Answers] alecxs:
one can't backup /data partition this way, because tar is just a toybox applet not cabable of preserving secontext. get a gnu tar binary (for example from opengapps installer), set mount namespaces to global, set selinux permissive (if kernel allows it, important) and run from su

/storage/1234-5678 is exFAT and has enough free disk space

tar --selinux --xattrs --numeric-owner -vcpPf /storage/1234-5678/data.tar /data

/storage/1234-5678 is vfat or less free disk space

tar --selinux --xattrs --numeric-owner -vcpP /data | gzip | split -a 1 -b 1024m - /storage/1234-5678/data.tar.gz.

another approach would be loop mount some file and busybox cp -avc everything where the -c flag is responsible for secontext (proper busybox required)

--numeric-owner flag is recommended if you are planning to extract it on linux PC later

you could also exec-out straight to PC if no MicroSD Card available, but requires gzip or other compressed stream, otherwise windows will mess up linefeed with carriage return and render your file unreadable

adb exec-out "su -c 'tar --selinux --xattrs --numeric-owner -vcpP /data | gzip'" > data.tar.gz

restoring .tar.gz from TWRP is absolutely possible, it's just that TWRP can't handle encrypted userdata partition (yet)

cat /external_sd/data.tar.gz.* | gzip -d | tar --selinux --xattrs -vxpPC /

(where tar must called with full path to binary like /cache/tar or /tmp/tar, or unlink /sbin/tar applet and place binary /sbin, or just rename it gtar)

Note: bitwise 1:1 copy of apps is not possible/sufficient if you factory reset your device, because apps might save data in TEE TrustZone (which is flushed on factory reset)

Hi @seemebreakthis, very interesting discussion on Android 12 backup!

Did you reach a workable solution with this?

Since we can restore most apps from a Google backup, it seems the real issue is to recover the user settings etc. after the Google restore.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Ulysse 31:
Hello! I've purchase a 'new' screen on AliExpress, which I suspect to be a screen with the green tint that some users faces at the device lunch. It's not a big deal for me, it work great in good light, but it's green and there is some display non uniformity clearly visible in dimme settings. I am happy with it because of the price I get it (around 120€ instead of 250+€ for an original), and if I see too much the default I juste increase a little the screen luminosity.

It was a year ago and the original screen was available on Huawei site, don't know where you can find it now, good luck!

If you're using an AT&T ROM, you have to do the registry stuff to remap it. I don't know much about this since I use an HTC ROM. Once that's done it can be set in the buttons settings since the orientation change is one of the choices there.

When I watch videos in 60 fps (720p or 1080p), there is serious lag on it. There's very bad stuttering that makes every video only watchable in 480p. The Snapdragon 480 is a very powerful CPU, so when my Moto E6, which has a Snapdragon 435, and my Moto G7 Power, which has a Snapdragon 632, can both play 60 fps videos smoothly, is this really a issue with the chipset or is it a matter with the OS?

HUAWEI P50 PRO GLOBAL VERSION (JAD-LX9) / GMS SUPPORT

Hello everyone, i want to start a thread with all know information that i collected. It would be great that everyone shares new discovered stuff about the GMS for the Global version of the Huawei P50 Pro (JAD-LX9) so that we have all that in one thread.

All Huawei lovers know that the P50 Pro is an great phone with an outstandig Camera, Design and Hardware, but the lack of GMS support makes it Hard for everyday usage.

Known Solutions to run Google Apps

1. Use Google Apps with an VM - GSPACE (link to the Tutorial) - Tested and Working

PROS

- Some apps works great

- Easy to setup

CONS

- Some Apps are not working (for example : Crypto.com App)

- It takes time to load the app

- Problems with notifications (there is an online solution for this on Youtube)

2. Flash the HarmonyOS 2.0 Firmware for the Chinese Market

I found two Website online that offers the official HarmonyOS 2.0 Firmware, this website are selling the Firmware.I havent testet it yet. But there a solution for the Chinese version with the HarmonyOS to install an Native Support for GMS. So if

we succeed

to install the HarmonyOS Firmware i think that the GMS problem is then solved. I think that the Firmware is for the Snapdragon 888 version of the phone because i found that the Kirin 9000 version has an another Model Name (JAD-AL50) -

but this info is not

confirmed.

2.1 Website that offers the Firmware

Firmware "JAD-LX9 102.0.1.200(SP2C00E200R4P1)_Firmware_general_HarmonyOS 2.0.1_05017RKJ"

link to Website (English Website)

link to Website (Chinese Website)

3. Install Play Store Via Ourplay (Chinese App). (link to the Tutorial) - Not tested yet

I will edit this post with all new know information.

Yes it's safe as GSpace emulates your device to a one, which supports GMS.

[Huawei P50 Pro] rjcvilhena:

[Huawei P50 Pro] theintelligent:
No, you have to use play store in the Gspace for updates. No automatic updates.

It worked! I have playstore on my P50 pro! One more question, I've been using Aurora Store. So now I can use PlayStore to install and update apps safely? I understand I need to make a shortcut to keep them in the main screen. No more need for Aurora Store?
[Huawei P50 Pro] theintelligent:
Playstore basically runs in the VM called GSpace whereas Aurora store will run the EMUI12.

I have not removed aurora store since most of the apps will run without using GSpace.

Attaching a screenshot of some of the apps, both Gspace (a small icon on the edge) and normal ones (without icon)

Thanks! I get more clearer how it works! I more enjoying the p50 pro!
[Huawei P50 Pro] rjcvilhena:
Hi everyone! I've just seen on Huawecentral that there's a new Play Store version. So do I have to download it and create a new shortcut?

One more question to clarify: is this process of using the play store to install apps safer than other stores, like APKpure? So in the end I'm using the official PlayStore, right? Thanks!

Thinking about this...As Play Store is part of Gspace, if I open an app that I don't want to install (inside Gspace) I can use it to navigate inside play store and install other apps? So there's no need for the Play Store shortcut, right?

"Prepare a good quality about 32g, usb c port U disk or U disk + otg adapter, plug in the mobile phone"

I will let you know how it ends, even if I am confident because some time ago I had already done this operation with a matepad pro with him and everything went perfectly ... (except that he kept me in front of the pc for almost 2 hours. ..)

Hello everyone,

as promised here I am to tell you about my little test... (ps. my old xda account was lost)

I state that I have the P50 Pocket Premium Edition and not the p50 Pro, but the procedure is identical.

This morning at 9 I started with the technician to modify the phone, I wanted to transform it from BAL-L49 European version to BAL-AL00 model which is the Chinese one.

Attached are the photos of the "post-surgery", there is still hope for those who just do not want to give up google services lol

Hello everyone,

Sorry for the delay, i will post some info Tomorrow or ASAP
[Huawei P50 Pro] QQRush:
sorry for the wait, after several searches I found that it is not possible to make these changes by us :'(

The duration of the operation if all goes well is only 30 minutes, and the cost of about 30 euros... the technician connects remotely to the PC with the smartphone attached, after some operations still need to update with usb + OTG via recovery. I can only confirm that it works.

For those interested I can give you his wechat contact... just PM me.
[Huawei P50 Pro] djeloy:
If you connect remotely, anyone can do it. Since it does not require the use of any box or anything... Because it is your phone connected to your computer. I think it would be a great help for all users to release this method.
[Huawei P50 Pro] Peludo27:
Yes bro release method we have subs in ... with access all roms
[Huawei P50 Pro] QQRush:

Also the guy used some tools that need to be purchased... sorry about it
[Huawei P50 Pro] blueangelmda:
As far what I know you need to change/ repair oeminfo file, and during this process you update it with cn model names and so on , later you update chinese software. I did it some time back with p40 or 30 , don't remember. However it requires a software and huawei cable. Soft was called sigmakey or sygma unlock.. It can be done on your pc by you , but if someone do this by teamviewer ... maybe another way , or it install sygmakey software on your pc and just use one licence to login, once done , just logoff from it.. That's just my thoughts, if anyone have any ideas, just share ))
