OpenKirin for MediaPad M5 - Huawei MediaPad M5 Questions & Answers

Hi all, just seen a post about OpenKirin for our devices.
For MediaPad 8.4 seems to support SHT AL09 AND w09
I have funkyhuawei for another 25 days so will give it a try this week and give u all a shout:
https://openkirin.net/
Check it out before me if u get a chance (it's my first day at a new job tomorrow so want something stable for journey to work tomorrow)
Let me know what you guys think about it? Have you tried it before? Have you any knowledge on the Devs and their work etc.

Yes you can use the Rom on your m5. Nearly all works some small things are not 100% OK but nothing important. Only Carbonrom has a Tablet version right noe Rest will be added later
I will add a thread with Installation guides and all other needed in the next few days. If you have any questions ping me. I'm the developer for tablets in open kirin

@rcstar6696 I tried the RR OpenKirin Rom. Most things work well, good work
Same problems as phh-treble with bluetooth being a bit weird (same as the bug I logged here https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/issues/94)
Fingerprint works but home button doesn't (phh-treble fixed this with a custom IDC file)
AOSP camera works but the other camera app crashes at launch

hmmm on carbon i have no issues with bluetooth but i will test more now. about the fingerprint i didn't get what you mean for me fingerprint works all the time its equal if i enable fingerprint navigation or not. Or do you mean if you enable fingerprint navigation no homebutton possible ? if yes thats a limitation from rr on carbon we use a different implimentation for the fingerprint gesture and both work together. i recommand to use the carbon tablet veriosn for now until we push out tablet builds on other roms

No issues on carbon now.. All working fine..

Carbon for tablets v1 build works well, very smooth.
Still the same bluetooth issue, mouse will not pair. It works perfectly on stock rom. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you troubleshoot this issue
Separately, mouse behaviour is strange on this device on all roms including stock, so I think this might be a kernel thing as Huawei define their own 'mouse0' device.

Do I need to have an unlocked bootloader to install Carbon ROM?
Also I was hoping someone wouldn't mind sharing some pictures or creating a YouTube video showing what the carbon ROM looks like on this device.
Thanks

I'm on beta1 for tablet, it feel smoot and stable for a beta, 1080p stutter even on YouTube but it should be solved on beta2 right? I Will try some demanding games too. What's the difference between tablet and generic builds? Just the UI optimizations for bigger screen? ( that's a great thing i hated to have a tablet with phone UI till now!) tyvm i didn't have time to test BT but fingerprint work perfectly for me, even touchscreen precision feel better than stock! Can't wait for the update! The newly announced huawei GPU turbo will be added to treble builds or will be impossible to have it out of emui?
I have some trouble with leanlauncer, installing latest at a glance plug-in fail even after i remove pixel launcher, any idea?

A New beta comes tomorrow hopefully if all goes well
It has a full tablet ui

hello how is going with Carbon? I'm not familiar with Lineage OS, i see a lot of fix on the changelog 'till build number 4, it means it should be more stable and optimized than Carbon at this point or it's just different and it's at similar point? I'm still on Carbon Beta 1 for tablet, everything is working fine beside some performance issue and minor things

Today I installed los on mediapad m5 10". I have to say that developers have done amazing job. Yea, it's not optimized for tablet size, but i don't really care. It looks and works superb for beta.
Bluetooth is a little bit funky if you want to connect like keyboard and speakers at the same time, in that case, bluetooth speakers are disconected. I have found no other issue. Netflix is working, downloading is possible and it's HD resolution.
Camera is crashing, but i never use camera on tablet. Performance is top notch
I was so impressed by this build that I instantly donated, enjoy the beers guys

Carbon is more in Front of lineage and step by step all things get included in lineage. There is no diffrence between in functionallty but carbon is optimzed for tablet usage. One big pro Carbon is Aosp based Lineage is CAF but our device is not supported by CAF but on aosp

review required : current status of the phone

I am on the lookout for best VFM phone(with 820 chipset, decent camera), currently. I am a power user, hence, flashing/rooting is good with me.
My budget is INR 20K. How would you rate LEMax2 ?
With CM13 ROM, are all issues hw/sw resolved ?
please let me know since I am buying for wifey. And she is not techie.
Thanks for your time.
I am using Cm13 (Mokee) + pixel Launcher, about 2 days and everything is working fine.
on cm13 camera is pretty bad, everything else worked for me (except IR, but i'm not using it)
Buying for wife and she isn't a techie? Then just stick with the latest stock Indian firmware and put Google Now, Pixel or ZenUI launcher on there. Everything works fine, it's fast, stable and has Google services properly preinstalled. The way eui has the notifications is clean and easy to use, and having the quick toggles in the multitasking shade is fine once you get used where they are. Battery life is good. She won't really gain anything from CM.
If you're going to review it, then I strongly advice to mention about the fingerprint issue, it is really hit or miss. Mine worked for 14 days and now is kinda dead, I even flashed 3-4 Roms, but still I can't get it to work.
EDIT: From what I read in LeEco forums, fingerprints issues seems due to faulty hardware, but I guess no one really knows if it is HW or SW related. I tried MoKee, CM 13 and EUI (Cuoco92), and none of them worked so far.
Camera is little above average, you can take pretty good shots with enough lighting, otherwise it's not that great in darkest places.
I really enjoy the screen, IPS panel and QuadHD resolution make everything sharper, with well balanced colors and more over has good visibility outdoors with sunlight.
I don't like AMOLED screens, they have way too saturated colors for my tastes, but that is up to your personal preferences.
I would recommend it, given a few flaws like no expandable memory, no jack audio, software support uncertain, fingerprint not that great.
But after all, where else you can find a device with 4GB RAM, Snap820 and QuadHD 5,7" screen for less than 200 €?
Hi, thanks for the feedback. Is fingerprint issue h/w or s/w issue ?
I thought it might be s/w bug, which would be resolved thru update to stock/ CM rom.
Also, how is the camera, screen. Do you recommend it as the best VFM phone ?
Thanks,
Thanks, I like to keep phones updated to latest android version. I saw some activity related to CM13/CM14. Is it a dead/slow end ?
I would like to buy the phone only if there is sufficient support for the device. And if there are not h/w issues. fingerprint works well ?
Thanks @Star_dust6, thanks for the update. I should be good to order it then
Honestly on the ROM it shipped with I did have some hit or miss issues with the fingerprint sensor. Since flashing the official indian ROM I've had zero issues. Only when my hands are dirty, but that is to be expected.

Any Mate 10 Pro users try any of the Project Treble roms?

This rom comes with the stock camera. Has anyone tried it yet? How is battery life and stablility?
The video seems down.
Do you have a link for this ROM ?
I'm running the LineageOS 15.1 ROM which is slick af, but video recording doesn't work in any of the ROMs I've tried (LOS, Phh-Treble 8.0/8.1, OpenKirin for Honor 10 View 8.0/8.1). Still images are good and with some effort I got the phh treble Huawei camera to work for still images at least. Battery is slightly worse but still more than good enough
Any viable for daily driver?

I’m considering buying this phone with the sole intention of putting a stock/close to stock ROM on it. Would you consider any of the ROMs you’ve tried good enough for a permenant daily driver?
Be harsh in your judgement, I’m happy to do a bit of fiddling to get stuff set up but I’m not an enthusiast at this any more.

This may be an incomplete answer, but I bought mine two days ago with the same idea in mind and may be able to give you my results.
In short : EMUI is a joke, it is unimaginable for me that people can like this as the software feels cluttered and uninspired.
From the AOSP point of things : except for the camera, the basic stuff works great once you got how to flash these things (little advice, don't flash TWRP, as stock recovery is hard to get in case you want to get back to stock).
But things seem to change quite rapidly, so maybe everything could be easy and fixed by next week

LineageOS 15.1. It's decent in all aspects except video, runs smooth without any snags and works as a daily driver. If you use 2 sims and a lock screen you gotta disable pin for sim 2. Auto brightness works but is overly aggressive. Getting the ROM loaded was super smooth, some simple ADB commands and a factory reset and it's good to go.
I'm pretty happy with it as the honeymoon period of stock EMUI has ended and the super aggressive RAM management that kills timers and countdowns is the worst waste of 6GB RAM I've ever seen.
You might wanna check out Nokia 7 Plus though
I really like the either the lineage or stock aosp roms. The camera is indeed way worse, which kind of sucks, have not tried adding the stock huawei camera app. I also have this issue where my wifi hotspot, bluetooth hotspot or usb tethering all are not working But think I am one of the few with these issues, or are there more people with this problem?
Thanks for the responses guys. As Perpels suggests, the other phone I'm looking at is the Nokia 7 Plus, so I guess I'll just be keeping an eye on M10P ROM progress until N7+ full reviews start showing.
At the moment it looks like Lower spec processor/headphone jack/Android One vs High spec processor/AMOLED/ ROM headaches.
Urgh.
Hey folks, I just made a little guide to make all this a bit easier. Feel free to give it a look !

Stock or Custom ROM?

I bought my Redmi Note 5 (which happens to be my first Xiaomi phone) a week ago and I gotta say MIUI is much better than I expected. It's pretty fast and has a lot of features and the camera app is fine. I want your opinion: Is LineageOS or other custom ROMs worth it for this device? I have a pretty good amount of experience with custom ROMs but I was wondering if I would be missing out on anything if I switch to a custom ROM. Is the camera app as good as/better than the MIUI camera app? Does it have PROPER manual mode? Do I still get slow motion, portrait mode front and back, and other cool stuff? If not, can I flash a camera app for that? I have a billion questions that can be answered with your opinion and a link to a ROM you like, if any.
Thanks for your time!

I would go for MIUI 10 , most of the roms here are just the same vendor rom with lots of bugs and then overlays on top.
Basic things are missing or broken like proper fingerprint reading/swiping, Gcam is rubbish and only kind of works, they have volume issues with both speakers and headphones, screen brightness problems, heating issues, wake lock issues, no mms with mobile data turned off, no treble support because they didn't bother fixing the vendor rom, fast charge issues, no voLTE and updates are few and far between.
Now recently we have Android P and it is rubbish, laggy broken no camera, no voLTE all the same vendor issues.
And LineageOS rom is broken with all the same problems and more.
Sorry to dissapoint but we really lucked out on developers with this device.
At the moment, things may change, but MIUI 10 has it all over every custom rom here.

MIUI 10 is still in beta though, right? I guess I'll have to give it a month or so. I'm currently running MIUI 9.5.19 and the system update app says I'm good.

Using RR and have none of your named problems. No Wakelocks, though there is a Netlink problem happening randomly when flashing, but ez reconnect battery and it's fixed. Luckily I never faced that bug.
Also Gcam Mod is amazing, pictures are as good as in MIUI Camera.
RAM management is way, waaaay better than in MIUI, no crashes, no lags, no hot reboots.
Battery Life is the same, can't point out a difference.
No screen brightness & heating issues either. The sceen burn was a wrong driver in DarkAges Kernel, as far as I understood it.
Running in RR and can highly recommend to get rid of MIUI, then you can unleash the full power of your phone !
Same goes for Liquid Remix. None, really NONE of the problems discribed above occur. WiFi is superb, gcam works without a single hiccup, sound is great, battery life is even better than on MIUI.
I don't understand why so many people put so much hate on custom roms for Vince, you just have to search for the well maintained roms and not for the ones that gets an initial release and then be abandoned by the devs (aka the indian teenagers that clone complete repos and just put their name on it)
I'd rather prefer MIUI, ive tried almost every custom ROM. My internet connection keeps dropping, im unable to play Clash Royale and other online games, the connection drops. The only fix is to DEGRADE the connection type to 2G within the mobile network settings.
Pixel experience is good

Agree I don't think the devs can figure these minor bugs out and even worse they all seem to be sharing the same buggy base crap and just putting custom roms on top of it.
I installed 10 custom roms and they failed in all the same "features"
And watch out for Dark Ages kernel unless you want to cook marshmellows on your phone while charging!

I have it installed of course, otherwise I couldn't talk about it, huh?
- Rounded corners are okay, I like them. That is no bug, that's the decision of the dev.
- Battery is decent, 10+ hours of SoT.
- RAM is no problem, never under 1000mb free
- Never had ANY problem with WiFi. Check your router.
- Heating? What is heating for you? Never ever had more than 40°C, even when playing PUBG.
- Force close on back key works on smart bar. Use that.
- Fast charge works fine, see attached Screenshot.
- Speaker and headphone are fine, what the f* do you expect from a PHONE?
Well, I think you are the one spreading lies here, nearly everything you have mentioned above simply isn't true. Maybe you should switch to iOS if you cannot setup your android device properly.

The Best and Stable Custom Rom

Excuse me, I'm new here and this is the first time I ask something in the XDA Community. So I'm sorry if I have a bad English or question of a newbie...
I like to experience Custom Roms before. I tested it on my Oneplus One and experienced the Lineage OS (because Cyanogen is no more). I like Lineage OS, but I saw that Lineage OS is still an Unofficial build for Poco. and the downside of Lineage OS is the camera app (for my opinion).
So what I want to ask is what is the best and official custom rom for Poco F1? including the best android security, great developers that give update frequently and the best performance. I think that the Resurrection, Lineage, Pixel Experience and AOSP is the best candidate (because I love stock android). but can you tell me which one is the best among others? (frequent update and great community is what I'm searching for, at least the ROM can be fixed if there is a bug, and fast)
Thank you for your time.
disclaimer: i'm awaiting delivery of the device!!!
from what i've read, for full features you need to stick with MIUI sripped back/debloated, for now at least. there's miui.eu which is debloated or globe rom @ rom builder where it's based on the stripped back EU rom but some extra tweaks customised by us (by selecting expert mode and selecting what to keep/remove. further debloating may be required, can't check as i'm yet to take delivery of the device, but i'll go with globe until LOS is more accomplished. hope it helps
By far LineageOS 16!
Stable and solid build, and important for our device a well implemented notch.
No strange glitches, Bluetooth works better than stock miui and with audiofx a more dynamic sound over Bluetooth.
Have no experience with Pixel experience so far, nitrogen os seems to be nice to.
And carbon ofc

so theres a MIUI without bloatware you mean? is it affect the performance? i just upgrades to miui 10 global beta. and i must say, the only thing that exciting is you can adjust the call and media volume separately if you are playing games and simultaneosly calling someone.
other than that, pretty decent stuffs like new UI and other things. the most bothering thing is sometimes the notch area glitch out that preview your home wallpaper while playing game or open app that doesnt support fullscreen mode.
get globe rom customized trust me you'll love it. its miui w/ stupid bloats

I personally adore Lineage. but I am not sure because it is an unofficial build. so is it a workaround that make Lineage works with Poco? or do you recommend that I just wait for the Official build from Lineage?

It is unofficial but the developer is part of the LineageOS team.
So nothing to fear.

Haven't tried LOS but I have been using the nitrogen os rom and its very stable. No force closes and battery life is as good as the stock rom.

Okay I will give Lineage a try. Thanks guys for the answers and discussions.
LineageOS 16 is rock stable but it isn't the fastest (Antutu about 224.000). I've tried out NitrogenOS Pie Beta and it's more fluid (Antutu about 267.000) and everything works fine. At least I gave Liquid Remix 10.0.1 a chance. There are more settings options else it's very stable and fast.

Question Activity check - are people using this device?

Hey folks,
Joining in on the aftermarket world after a few years. I recently got the nord 2 and there is some impressive work going on already
Just wanted to touch base with the community to understand the kind of enthusiasts who have this device.
Q; are you using stock OOS or Custom roms?
Q: would you all be interested in some fresh roms, say lineage 20/ aospa topaz, etc?
If there are even a few folks interested and have some time to test out some initial builds, lets talk!
My daily driver since 7 months. Using stock, rooted (Magisk + LSPosed). Switching back to my old OnePlus 7pro though, which I prepared for murena.io (privacy is a great thing).
For that reason I would love to see LOS coming to the Nord 2, because that means that we'll have Murena one day too, probably.
Been using it for nearly a year now. Will keep stock until it stops getting updates.
I would like to see a Lineage build for Android 14 and later for it. Will definitely use it.
Seems like a solid phone that will last me a lot of time.
Would definitely appriciate LineageOS for this device. The stock system is driving me nuts.
Use it as daily driver for about year. Stock oos 11 latest update, rooted through magisk, no TWRP, 0 problems.
I like it a lot. But android security patch became too old, so thinking to switch to LineageOS, Elixir or Pixel experience. Hope that the few bugs without resolve will be fixed very soon. Mostly reports about alert slider and stock cam. Not severe, one can live without the slider and use one of the gcam forks.

Hi, I've been using it for about 2 months, so far I haven't noticed anything.

I think I saw it on 4pda.ru forum but was a bit outdated. Stability and security are essential for mi as I use my phone for work and biz ( as all of us ).
Just saw it published on July. Maybe need to contact devs. Unfortunately don't have enough spare time for hobby development....
Using stock and rooted rom, still on Android 11 though because 12 just plain out sucks.
I would very much love a good stable rom. I come from the Oneplus 3 where ROM support was just simply amazing. Most current roms are busted, suck when it comes to Camera quality or simply crash. Proper support for the Nord 2 is a wet dream at the moment.

It partially works, something's broken because it would often just not switch profiles when the slider was used. It's a good rom but not as stable / smooth. Also, camera quality sucks because it doesn't have the proper drivers / app.

Not so wet dream All GSI based ROMs are in advance states. Being this mediatek device and lack of some drivers make the things worse. Also there is not a lot of testing for this device... Imho.
