A leaked Kitkat ROM has already been posted here, but there are some issues with it. Hopefully Huawei fixes the DPI issue and the poor wifi/cellular radio because it was much smoother and faster than the 4.2.2 we have now.

I updated to 4.4.2 and tried to root it to remove some of the chinese apps and install google ones. no lock yet.
Update: Used vRoot 1.7.8 and it succeeded to root my tablet (501U, B007 Kitkat )

{Problem} Running old apk on recent Android versions

Hi everyone!
I'm facing a "big little" problem with an custom made Android app. I don't have code skills so I don't know how to change the code of the appk.
The problem is something like this:
- Have an apk created a few years ago, with the API level 19 (android 4.4). It runs okay at all Android 4, 5 and 6 versions, but since android 7 I can't use it. Is an application that need root privileges to work properly.
There are any simple way to do something that allow me to run that apk on Android <=7 version?
Can't downgrade Android version because the stock version of my actual android phone is the 7.1, can't go lower than that.
Sorry if my question is not well explained, my English is not too great.
Thanks
Cheers.

Don't worry , your English is understandable
I don't think you can run older APK on a newer Android version. Because the API used in this app may be deprecated or something like that.
I'm not sure of the info I provided you here so if someone tell you the opposite , he may be right .

Well, Android Updates depends on the Brand of your phone. He may not be updates so regularly if it's a lower range phone.
To check if you have an update , just go to Settings->About Phone->Android Update (or something like that)
If you tell me the Brand of your phone I may find if there are available updates
Have a good day

Huawei Matepad T8

Dear Friends
I have bought a Huawei Mediapad T8 and I am trying to find a custom ROM to flash it. Unfortunately there is nothing on Cyanogenmod site.
If anyone has any reference site where I can find ROM s for this model please share it with me.
Sincerely
Konstantinos
Mediapad T8 has android 10 - so it can be part of Project Treble since it is 8+ - it means, you can flash GSI (generic system image) of many of custom roms and no need for certain full rom.
But, I guess, you will need to unlock bootloader and got permissive kernel and probably need to remove encryption for user data before got bootable custom rom.

Dear Friend
Thank you very much for replying to my thread. I admit that it is the first time that I heard about GSI (Generic System Image). I am looking for a custom rom so I can use the Play Store that is now missing from most Huawei devices. Unlocking bootloader is not so hard , I can get the code from Huawei in 7 months from now. Dealing with the GSI is something that I can not manage to be honest. I will wait for a custom rom. Thanx again.
Sincerely
Konstantinos
@coa00kt
Actually there are more than 10 Custom ROMs available:
https://fossbytes.com/android-custom-roms/
Dear Friend
Thank you for the link. Which one is for Huawei Matepad T8? I can't find anything.
Please help
Konstantinos
@coa00kt
Take note that any Android OS ( Stock ROM and/or Custom ROM ) you intend to install isn't device's model/brand dependant, but on device's CPU architecture. Almost all Android device's are powered by an ARM CPU.
Dear Friend
I am a noobie. Which ROM do you suggest for Mediatek MT8768 chipset (Octa-core 4x2.0 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4x1.50 GHz Cortex A53)?
Sincerely
Konstantinos
@coa00kt
Can't recommend any because I never used a Custom ROM: I have reasons for this.
Dear Friends
The main reason that I am looking a custom ROM is the advantage of using "Play Store". Otherwise Huawei Android 10 is just fine. Please help me find something that will work 100%. Otherwise I will stay with Huawei Android 10.
Thanx again

Dear friend,
In the meanwhile you can use GPStore alternatives like Aurora store or ApkPure or ApkMirror for apps that can not be found on Huawei's AppGallery.
On the other hand, you can install about 8 to 10 apps from Huawei phone/tablet (before US sticky fingers) in the form of backup and restore them to your tablet. Tutorial like this is simmilar for all phones. Also found some backup on GDrive for HiSuite or usb restore.

Hello Friend
I have installed APKPure , it is very usefull. About 80% percent of the applications are running fine. Unfortunately about 20% require the Google Play Services. I will stick to this solution until Huawei provides me the Bootloader Code (After 12 Months) and a custom rom is created .
Sincerely

Hi
You can just flash GApps pico. It installs Play Store and Google Service.
Do you know if Google apps pico require an unlocked bootloader? What is the process? Do I have to install custom recovery?
Hello.
Please, can someone extract the original apk from the notes and post here? I accidentally deleted mine and now I can't find it. Thanks.
Hi there, i managed to install a google account and a working playstore via this youtube tutorial, and google services is working outside of an irritating notification which you can turn off.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZVF9W-H228
The only thing is i don't know if i can upgrade firmware with out losing google apps again i'm on firmware 10.0.1
How to unlock the bootloader?

i wouldnt recommend installing a custom rom that is not specifically for your device, especially if you are a noobie. the devices appart from the SOC have many components that require specific drivers. in any case, you have to be extra carefull in following the instructions otherwise ou ll end up with a brick. your best bet is to find a recovery (again for your device) and flash open gapps.

But huawei doesn't provide bootloader unlock codes anymore
Is it possible to root Matepad T8 ?
I think you no longer need Custom ROM to use GApps into this device. I have bought this device few days ago and found a way to run GApps. Just open Huawei AppGallery and look for "GSpace", it will solve GApps issue.

Even if you can find a suitable Custom ROM with a higher Android version, I think you'll fail with upgrading: the tablet is an outdated. low-end one ( 4-core processor running at 1.3GHz, with 1GB of RAM ).

Upgrading device's Stock ROM requires
1. Flashing a Custom Recovery that is at 100% suitable to device ( I guess it doesn't exist any )
2. Flashing a Custom ROM that is at 100% applicable ( I guess it doesn't exist any ) by means of previousy flashed Custom Recovery

Weird that it sometimes works... Tried on an old tablet. When it "works" it just gives 400 error but there is maybe another reason for that. Always installs version 13.03.60. Clear data seems to be enough to avoid that update screen. But why not just use browser? Even the default one works. Don't know about FlyTube but should work on android 4.0+.

You could try this. Could work. Played a little and found out that deleting youtube.xml from /data/data/com.google.android.youtube/shared_prefs/ makes it show the main screen, or
would if there wasn't that 400 error. So, remove it and chmod -w that shared_prefs dir .
Then it cannot write it there again. You'll need be rooted for that. Some rooting solutions here:

It's my dad that will be using this TAB for him to pass some times... already did the clearing of data but no success.. usually the one that works for me is to uninstall the app and update to a newer version..
I'm afraid rooting the tab would brick it so i did not try it.. hehehe
will try to download Flytube o tell my dad to just use the browser..
Thanks for the help sir... Thank you very much.. Stay safe..
