[Firmawe] Firmware size - STF-L09 - Honor 9 Questions & Answers

Hello dear Community,
I am wondering that the size of the Firmware (Memory&Storage > Firmware) is 12,67 GB large.
Is that the case in any of the STF-L09 Models with the latest updates?
This seems to me as a huge waste of the available storage, since I am using two SIM Cards.
Is there any way to reduce this size?
I would be grateful for any confirmation or reply.
Thanks, Veduuu

Yes, system takes a lot of space, it's normal

Thanks for the confirmation!
My old 2nd gen Moto G uses around 3,5 GB for system files and necessary apps with LineageOS. I am just wondering what the additional 9 GB is used for in a Honor 9.
How big is Firmware size running a custom ROM (e.g. LineageOS for Honor 9) ?
Thanks in advance

Custom ROMs take less than the Stock Firmware (EMUI)

[ROM][HUAWEI OFFICIAL BETA][7D-501u]KitKat 4.4.2 / EMUI 2.3 / 320 DPI

Below is the latest Huawei Official KItaKat Beta for 7D-501u (3G Mediapad X1 aka Honor X1 in China).
Main characteristics of this ROM are 320DPI and a whopping 1.4-1.5GB of free memory after boot.
Initial feedback by Chinese users is positive.
YMMV
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...g0/v15243/f2/full/7D-501uV100R002C553B001.zip
If you encounter problems running this beta, 'fraid not, just download the latest official 501u ROMs from Huawei and flash it back.

Is it even possible to flash 501U ROM onto 503L?

Sorry, my bad, i copied some of the contents from my 503L thread, already corrected the mistake (the links were the correct 501u ROMs though).
To answer your qn, it is possible to flash 501u ROM onto 503L, but that would be pointless as LTE will almost certainly not work.
Anyone has tried this rom? Really need feedback before jumping in.
Does it come with google play and other necessary google stuff?

definitely no google services 'pre-installed' in China ROMs (all the 3 above are China ROMs).
u can however 'wake' them up by removing /cust/channel/XXX_XX_XX/xml/UNSTALL_APK.XML (/XXX_XX_XX is the only folder inside /channel; its name may vary from ROM to ROM)
will update the thread if i can find international version of 501u ROMs.
I successfully flashed it at the second time with another bigger rom download.
I can say that it is not worth of flashing because font size is very small and chrome is not compatible totally with phone page.
So, I decided to flash back to C233B010.
Don't waist your time.
any good for this rom? I'm running the 4.4.2 400dpi imui 3.0 which has two annoying issues:
1. can't set Nova Launcher as a default launcher
2. it is mobile UI, not tablet-optimized ui as in official 4.2.2 imui 2.0.
Does it has the above two issues?
How is it different from the 400dpi one? (already root, solve the google+ things).
Hi,
I'm running the 4.4.2 emui 3.0 400dpi from the below xda post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-mediapad/general/rom-kitkat-4-4-2-emui-3-0-400-dpi-t2925015
rooted it with iroot, solved the google+ compatibility as suggested in this board, now all incompatible apps are compatible.
My only problem is I hate the mobile UI on this 400dpi rom (prefer the tablet UI as in the official rom b020/b021, or, I guess, on any 320dpi rom).
I intend to update the rom to the one post here (320dpi). I've tried several times without success. It recogized my update file and after it spent some time loading the file on the updating display, it reported failed every time. What I did was creating dload folder, put the update.app into it with some other small files I brought from this 400dpi upgrade; or from other roms.
I also downloaded and tried updating with the official kitkat 400dpi (international rom, B102) from Huawei Germany website, it also failed at the same point (the display which has big EMUI banner)
I tried both on 32gb class 10, and 4gb class 4 microsd card.
Anyone had experience in updating your X1 (7D-501u) from 400dpi to 320dpi? What small files you put inside and outside dload folder (please share those files)? Any tips would be really appreciated.
I've flashed this rom 2 days ago and I'm very pleased by its performance. after removing huawei chinese bloatware it has more than 1.5gig of free ram!
compare to previous rom I'd have (EMUI3.0/400dpi/b002) it is very smooth and fast
the UI is not as polished as EMUI3.0 but not a single lag. the wireless is very stable too
however I have 2 problem with that
1. battery is not as good as B020 or B021 (I think google services make it worse)
2. double-tab-wakeup does not work (like other 4.4 roms)
@bthoven
I've flashed this rom over b002 by use of a cfg file from B010 zip file
not a single problem

I still can't update from b005 to b001, update failed message on Recovery screen.
Really have no idea what to do.

Chrome is working on mine perfectly. Font size you have 4 options in settings > display. It's the best ROM so far.

I saw the posts here about the instability of kitkat version .. is there any stable kitkat update u tried for this device and where i can get it ?
Thnx in advance

Hardware requirements for upgrading to a new android version

I just wanted to know that what are the hardware requirements to upgrade to a new android version , lets say lollipop..
My phone has 4gb interñal memory and 780mb ram , is that enough to run lollipop (im running on kitkat now) , If yes than how much memory will be left after upgrading to lollipop?
It's not hardware matters, as long as latest ROM available for your device, then go for it. If you're mentioning stock rom, it depends on your manufacturer that releasing firmware upgrade or not.
May I ask what are you trying to achieve?

hi R324D , i am using galaxy core 2 SM-G355H , running on kitkat , ive rooted it and installed a TWRP on it and was thinking to upgrade to lollipop but it only have 4gb internal memory , just wanted to know that is it enought run lollipop on it? coz i have another phone running on lollipop and 3.48 gb is reserved as system memory , and if we do the maths , will I be left with just 520 mb ? If yes then should I upgrade to Android L?
Thanks!

I don't think that's how it works, System partition different each device, it's not fixed. Idk, but usually it takes 20-30% of internal storage for system partition.
Moreover, unless you already altered your system partition, you shouldn't worry about that.. Lets rom handle system partition automatically. Another option you can use external sdcard for extra storage, I admit 4gb is to small for int storage.

Am I safe installing the Android Q beta 3 GSI on my MI 8 Lite? Will the Camera work?

Hey everyone!
I really love the new android q beta and i was wondering if it is possible to install it on my mi 8 lite?
On android developers it says, that it's necesarry for the phone to be launched with android p (mi 8 lite wasn't):
https://developer.android.com/preview/gsi-release-notes
Is it okay if I have my phone updated to android p or that is not the same?
If I install this GSI, will my camera work (it is quite important for me)?
I am not really good in this tipic nor do I know much about it, but I have installed many roms before.
Thanks

It wouldn't have the miui camera since it's not a miui release so you might have to install gcam. But the only way to answer your question is do a backup and flash it and see .
The linked images are for ab devices and ours (mi8lite) is an a device. AB devices basically have 2 system partitions and A devices only have one. So it won't work for us.

This link for download to Android Q GSI, for A/B partition or only A partition:
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/gsi/
So is. Android Q is a long time ago for A.
The only one that starts the beta 2 of the Q in the mi 8 lite.
Sorry for the sincerity, but the such project treble A beautiful piece of crap has left. So far I do not know where they got the idea that this would be useful ... Even for devices with A / B participation there is no stable work, all bugged.

Any Android 10 supported Rom?

Any Android 10 supported Rom for Umidigi One Pro?
Apparently there is, and at least two articles point to it. I already have TWRP and Eragon2.5 (based on Android 8.1) installed, but I found myself having to do a restore. I don't know whether I needed a later version of TWRP (I have 3.2.3), or if another one exists.
Here's your link for the allegedly supported Android 10: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases/tag/v204
You need system-quack-arm64-aonly-gapps.img.xz
I had to uncompress it to the img file because the version of TWRP I have doesn't recognise xz as a valid compressed file. When I installed it, it rebooted to a bootloop.
Yeah tried many. Using ArrowOS 9 at the moment. Working perfectly. No 10 worked for me as well. Just stuck at bootloop
Link to arrowOS9?

Thanks.
I'm interested. Unfortunately, nowhere can I find user experience with the Umidigi One Pro and ArrowOS.
What does work or what doesn't work?
Battery life?
What patch level do the security fixes have?
Maybe you can answer a few questions

Arrow OS 9 Seems to have best battery life out of all. Security patches are of Jan 2020.
NFC does not work, cam is ****ty. Sometimes UI errors (in Arrow OS 10) but can fix by installing some other launcher and Gapps. After restart time and date goes incorrect unless you are connected to internet. and Gifs become glitchy.
As of now the best Rom i can tell for Umidigi One Pro is AncientOS-CIVILIZATION-v3.7. There is 3.8 out there but that does not work. No issues other than bad cam, nfc and time incorrect problem.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/amber-gsi/files/AncientOS-CIVILIZATION-v3.7/
Also with AncientOS-CIVILIZATION-v3.7 you can get latest security patches installed within rom.
I'm trying to get Android 10 on my One Pro, all the AOSP builds won't boot (stuck in Android boot screen). Am I using the wrong ones, I have been trying "a-only", "arm" variants ?
Thanks a lot.
I tried tons of different Android 10 ROMs on the Umidigi One Pro, the only one that worked so far is the v204 of @phhusson, but for some reason only 8GB of memory are accessible (out of 64). Did I do something wrong ?

Slow cramped SONY M4 (E2303) 8MB Android 6.0.1 What to do? should I update to Android 7?

Hi everyone my problem is a Slow cramped SONY M4 Android 6.0.1 (E2303) 8mb What to do? update Rom? from what I'm reading different things from its possible to use the latest version of Android to its highly risky compared to other phones like my old Galaxy 5 mini, that thanks to you guys I was able to update and continue using until its hardware gave up. If I could just get rid of the bloatware but I can't delete or transfer it to sd, yes this phone promised so much and delivered little!
Kind Regards

go to settings and then to the memory page. if it shows 1GB or less your motherboard is broken and needs proper micro-soldering repair but if it shows 2GB then you should reflash the os

I'm glad your M4 aqua's board is still fine but mine is broken and I haven't had time to replace it yet but first of all, I already said that try to reinstall the whole stock OS on your phone with Xperia companion and if it's still slow after that then you should try a custom ROM and it's your choice what version of android to use on it but the stock Rom has 2 versions android 5 and android 6 but I guess Xperia companion can only reinstall android 6, OH and the Xperia m4 officially supports up to 6 that you already know
