Hi guys.
as i saw on this threat(PurePerformances™X), its is very attractive to me, and because of this i m considering to root my XTZ and push performance with this MOD.
Just as what i mention after i using this XTZ about 10 days, i think that firmware/android OS got some problems. The situation happen is when after i playing a game(dungeon hunter 4/asphalt 8) with 1-2 hours and exit, the homescreen will redraw even after that i just use others apps and go to homescreen. maybe this is normal but when i saw in setting-> apps-> running apps, the android OS is using about 1.5GB of ram usage and lot of apps's status is "Restarting". the only fix is restart the tablet. Is that a bug?
Xperia Tablet Z is a good tablet from sony, i hope i can keep it with original, so root is not too important but performance is important for me. so i hope this MOD may fix the situation from above.
any successor or any rooted XTZ is tested with this MOD? if someone is tested, hope can give some comment on MOD.
Thanks.
p.s: later i will try this mod in my xperia S.
update: screenshot for the situation/bug

That's probably a bug in the fw. Which fw/Android version are you? I have my XTZ for over a month now and I never had that problem...

my XTZ is 10.3.1.C.0.136/android 4.2.2
I tested on XTZ, seems this MOD is not fully compatible, some of functions like crossbreeder seems not working, some updater script like echo to build.prop is not working as well.
now i m uninstalled this mod and wait for futher modified MOD for XTZ.

Any luck getting the OS to stop using all of your RAM? I'm having the same problem. 1.5GB used by the OS so I can't have more than one app open at a time without the other app closing.
Hi,
i use a 7D-503 mediapadX1 from china in france, actualy in B007 ( full fresh install ) android 4.4.2 , et EMUI 2.3
the system send me that an update to B010 is available,
i launch the process, download reboot , verifying, install , and it fail
probably because i am root or modified the xlm to have the google apps.
how to apply the OTA update ?
if it's impossible, where to download the B010 update ? what is the changelog ?

I had the same issue with the B007 update. And yes, once you root and modify the xml files you won't be able to update. You'll have to download the whole ROM and do a full install. It might work if you put all the XML's back however, I haven't tried that yet...
At least that's been my experience..
Side Note, I have a 7D-503 as well and don't see the update...
Here's the website where you can download the full roms, but nothing B010 yet...
http://www.emui.com/plugin.php?id=hwdownload&mod=detail&mid=64
It's actually nice to see Huawei actively fixing stuff. I'm guessing they check these forums and listen to user feedback.
If you get it installed please give us your impression. I'd curious to see if the DPI was still 400. That was one of the things keeping me from upgrading to 4.4.2

Updated the post above with the 2 different upgrades...
thank's
Starting with B006,phone/call connectivity was super! Since update to B007 there are spots of poor signal quality on my way to work. Not as bad as my old Samsung galaxy s2, but not anywhere as perfect as before. Anyone (Europe) can confirm?
How is the signal after update to B010?
Is the DPI still 400?

Can't speak for Europe but works fine here on Rogers LTE. WiFi seems to be slightly better as well although that could be placebo effect.
It is uncanny how much smoother and faster 2.3 feels compared to 2.0... I think I can live with the DPI if the wifi improvements stick.
I was having issues with Wifi on the 4.4.2 B007, But with B010 it seems to be much better.
The 400 DPI is still a drag, but at least I got everything working with B010. So far so good. Wifi and Cellular seem improved. They still act a little weird at times, I swear the Wifi just hangs every once in a while and then will reconnect to my access point and be fine. But so far its good enough to use every day.
The issue with 400 DPI is that some of the apps I used to use no longer install from the play store. And well, the UI is too big in general.
Google+ is one of them, says its not compatible with my phone anymore.

Yup 400 DPI is terrible. Everything looks weird and some apps no longer work.
Manually setting the DPI to 320 breaks alot of other things...
Huawei, if your watching this forum, please go back to the standard android DPI of 320. Everything works and looks normal...
The performance of Kitkat is a nice bump, now it's time to make it compatible with all the apps we used to use.
Please?

Did you try Online Update? If you are running 2.3 B007, it should pick up the update for B010...
Doubt 400dpi will be changed back to 320 any time soon...
There was a huge uprising at the Chinese forum protesting the change of dpi to 400. People are literally screaming there, hoping Huawei folks can hear their protest.
However, it seems that Huawei will not make this desired changed any time soon. The reasons? Huawei has multiple products but X1 is a weirdo. It is a hybrid between a tablet and a cell phone. Naturally, Huawei may want to anchor its development effort on one side, either tablet or phone. Unfortunately, it seems Huawei has chosen the phone side. What people are suspecting there is that Huawei simply transplanted the UI for its 5.5 inch phones to X1. This certainly can save Huawei a lot of time and effort on development and bug fix.
With 400dpi, many times the apps will consider X1 a cell phone but not a tablet, therefore, install the incorrect version or simply refuse to install at all. This is plainly sad.
Meanwhile, apps such as Google Voice callback (e.g., Voice+) does not work on X1. It will result double calling - the native dialer still calls out while a call back is received. Such issues seem to be related to the customization Huawei has done to Android.
Since the bootloader is now unlocked, can someone or the CM folks create a ROM for this fantastic machine?

Cyanogenmod or another rom for huawei mediapad/honor x1 ?
When you are on B007 the system will prompt to do an OTA update. The OTA file is about ~100MB and is downloaded to the HwOUC folder on your ExtSD card. If you modified certain build.prop values, set_immutable.list file or removed stock apk update will fail...a log file, "FOTA_LOG" will be created telling you why the update failed...and it will most likely delete the OTA file it downloaded
So if you rooted or modified system files, you probably have to flash to stock B007, then upon boot the system update program will prompt you to update to B010. My first attempt to update failed because my device was modified, so instead of re-downloading the ~100MB file, I tried to fool the system by placing the file in the ExtSd\HwOUC folder..but it didn't update. So system update program download the file again before update was successful.
Cellular reception is better, is normally get yellow bars at home, but now they are green. Camera performance also seems better, less noise, but didn't see it in the change log. Still 400dpi.
EDIT: Full B010 ROM is out http://www.emui.com/plugin.php?id=hwdownload&mod=detail&mid=64
I'm in a different part of the country now on vacation and I have noticed that wifi performance is much better on older routers, meaning routers that are not N compatible. G only routers seem to perform much better. When I get back home I'll try experimenting with G only settings in my routers.
The Wifi still seems to freeze every few days of it being on continuously, I just turn off wifi and then back on and it starts working again for a few days. I think it might have to do with switching from wifi to mobile data and back a few times. (I leave wifi running all the time and it is set to never sleep in the advanced settings)
So far for B010, Mostly everything seems better. There's only a couple of things needed to make this more into a production type rom, currently it feels a little Beta... Hopefully this feedback with help Huawei as they seem to be actively fixing things which is more than I can say for the US cellular carriers. I love you China
1. Wifi compatibility/stability needs improvement still. Its better, but not up to reliability standards of any other cellphone i've used. (This might also be limited to the US market as i'm sure Huawei isn't testing phones out here, but really wifi should be wifi no matter which country you are in)
2. For the love of god bring back 320DPI !! (Yes it is big and I could live with that if there weren't so many app compatibility issues, too many apps just don't work at this non standard DPI)
3. I think the memory management still needs some work, From what I can tell the phone like to proactively close apps in the background. This might have been needed for old android versions but is completely unneeded now. Just let android do what android does. (I have even used titanium backup to freeze the Phone Manager app as this seems to be what kills background processes. or at least I think it does)
I think thats really all I can think of. This rom is really great with the exception of the above glaring issues/bugs. There's tons of little things that could be improved, but the above 3 (and really 1 and 2 are the most important) items are keeping this rom from being perfectly functional.
Hi I thought we could post here in one place our initial impressions of the Marshmallow release of Remix OS 3.0.101
Here are mine:
Positive:
1 First, thanks to all the devs at Jide and especially Chih-Wei Huang
2 Ethernet connection works fine (fortunately)
3 Glad to see that I could activate Play Store from command line as in earlier releases
4 So far seems smooth and fast; will load it up with apps to see if it slows down
5 Glad to find that it's already rooted (yea)
Not Positive:
1 Needs way to disable touchpad, as it is not needed for those of us with touchscreens (perhaps it's there but I did not find it)
2 Suggest way to reverse launch bar for right- or left-handed users
3 Wifi is broken for me with BroadCom chip BCM43228
I'm not a gamer, so hopefully some of you can put in your thoughts
A few more:
Positive :
1 Maps doesn't freeze anymore
2. Nova Launcher works well
3 Partial function of LMT Launcher (left only)
4 Windowing working very smoothly
5 Over 70 common apps tested and working
6 Screen brightness is working again
Not Positive:
1 Location not working (possibly because I have to use ethernet since wifi not functioning?)
2 cannot modify file excluded-input-devices. xml to disable the TouchPad
Nova Launcher working very nicely.
This version is really exciting, so much potential. On my Asus K55 everything seems to work well.

Without hacking, disable things and stuff?
positive:
1) all apps now work as windows (hangouts didn't for example before)
2) less overheating (even though still not ideal)
3) better resizing (easier to grab the edge of the window)
4) finally google maps work (and google photos too!)
5) new settings ui is superb
6) finally there is built-in root functionality
7) finally there is native brightness control
negative:
1) window snap-in is gone (before, bu dragging a window to the left or right edge, it woild resize to half the screen)
2) the google play music notification has white text on white background
3) the native root doesn't allow uninstalling apps (or is it just me?)
4) app launch time is still a problem and the window cannot be dragged until the app has fully loaded

how the heck did you get that to work? i tried the method from lollipop, where you root, install nova and then uninstall the native launcher, but the built-in root access somehow doesn't let me uninstall system apps (but root checker says i'm rooted and kernel adiutor works etc...)
EDIT:
oh nevermind, i got it for anyone having the same issue, just enable root and use sd maid to freeze the stock launcher

On the gamer side it is disappointing.
2d games work. But 3D games have problems with video acceleration.
Open gl Es 2.0 works great.
But open gl Es 3.0 and 3.1 just totally freeze remix os on supported nvidia cards like the gtx 760.
And still no sound output selection for hdmi audio.
This is just a bad version here.
This version won't boot on my tablet (it goes from the boot animation to a cursor in the corner and then reboots). I'm going to try the 32-bit version shortly, even though I have a EFI-based system and see if that works.
changing orientation
Very smooth and running well. Apart from the points mentioned by others, the rotation from landscape to portrait mode is not working. I run Remix OS on surface pro 3 Dual boot.

I was having problems with this module on Nougat but realized the problem was that I had Data Saver on. Any kind of background internet limiter will screw with this. Once I turned this off, it was working fine.
Btw, I am not the creator of this app, I'm just building it from source, so any bugs or anything would need to be directed at the developer. Btw I believe min SDK was 4 and target SDK was 23.
Updating atm... will update first post
Latest has been uploaded. Seems to be much more stable then previous version.

Google reported an abuse to rovo89, who had to remove the module from the repo.
That is why the team after the YTBP module stopped to publish official apks, and the only official thing you may download from the project's github at the moment is the source code for manual building. Please note that the YTBP module apks floating around on xda or elsewhere (like the one attached in this topic) are not official ones, but it doesn't really matter as the official ones do not exist at all
Careful! This module works fine until YouTube update on February 1st (in Europe). Had to uninstall and go back to previous version. I have unchecked auto updates for YouTube. Hope it can be fixed, it's great and an everyday tool for me
Is it this module or my phone but since two days, every one video in background so with the phone screen off, the YouTube app crashs or exits and sometimes I get in the preview of the video with the screen on, "audio available" with a background black, that's all, I have to back and select again my video to read it and 5 minutes later, same problem :/

You should switch to Youtube Vanced non root. That is a way better solution than an xposed module. Plus they offer a black themed version. I stopped updating this because that was released and works perfect.

Wow, nice ! I'll try this asap I hope this is better than Eragon
Is there any way to root it ? I'm not sure it's the same way than with official rom, is it ?
how do i boot into recovery? i accidentally wiped my phone and then reset it before installing the new rom and now i cant get past the elephone logo when it first boots . i need to get to recovery to restore my backup.

I think it would be helpful that you make a new topic, too. Because all I know is that you can't get into recovery without a system .... maybe adb and fastboot!?
This ROM brings even more bugs.
According to users on the official Elephone site the ROM is not recommended.
https://bbs.elephone.hk/forum.php?m...&extra=page=1&ordertype=2&page=2#.WzaSXtIzaM8
I flashed it a few hours ago. When you load the scatter file with flashtool be careful that 'userdata' is NOT checked or all your apps and data will be lost.
After flashing the new rom I flashed twrp recovery with flashtool and then booted into recovery with 'adb reboot recovery'. There I installed supersu.zip for root access.
The new rom does not make a real difference at first sight. I will try it a few days to find out about battery and performance.
What I already found out:
-more bloatware
-no live wallpapers supported
Does anyone have an idea how to install the live wallpaper abilty to the system?
I have installed the rom for almost a week now, this is what i found so far:
-memory management diferences are negligible if any
- audio sync in certain apps have not changed
-camera app is a old version of google camera and it is buggy, but can be easely fixed by a 3rd party camera app
- performace seens a lot better with a inscrease of score in antutu from 78k to 90k and it does fell a lot better to use
-the new bloat is just google stuf and dolby atmos which does somewhat work as intended
-the old bloat like mtk logger is not present
-no further bugs found yet
Can waste time trying out rubbish. If they can't do OTA then they can shave that update up their a#s.
How i root this rom?

I think, same as stock/Eragon https://forum.xda-developers.com/el...p-recovery-twrp-recovery-elephone-s8-t3705742
I'm using the 'new' rom for 2 and a half weeks now and today I flash back the original firmware. Here is what I found out on my S8:
postive:
- battery life and charging time have actually improved (that's it for positive...)
negative:
- Live wallpapers don't work. I did not find a way to solve this.
- No real improvement on the camera, focus is still slow. They use a different app now but sadly the front light is not supported anymore.
- Problems with changing networks got even worse. On the old rom I had problems when changing between mobile data and wifi, now even changing between wifi networks does not work properly
- Wifi speed is very low sometimes. The only way to solve this is a complete reboot.
- I did not notice any improvement in performance and temperature, so I cannot tell whether this is good or not.
- Bloatware like some google apps, a few apps called something like lawnchair, unknown file explorer and music apps
If this is the update we are waiting for since half a year, it is very disappointing. In my opinion they got it even worse and there is no reason to flash it.

I have almost all solutions for those problems.
-Wifi, buy better connection.
-Tempature, u should use more time on reading,tempature is decreased lot in simple apps...
-Bloatware, LAWNCHAIR is a LAUNCHER, And u can root to delete shutle music app. And u can change file exploler.
-Performance, AWW did u runned before and after benchmarks? Not? okay. I have saw lot performance upgrade.
-Livewallpapers, I think it disabled for better battery experience.
-Network changing, LoL i have not this problem... buy a new elephone!

Dude, all your "solutions" is just showing off how toxic trash you are. Learn some common human decency, grow a brain (brain cells first), I heard these are popular nowadays
