I am looking to change my iphone 4S and thinking of picking some Android mid range device. After sometime of Googling I found Huawei Honor 6 pretty impressive on papers. So I decided to go for it but then I had a chance to check this device as my friend already had one The device is pretty good with rich display and good look however sound is pretty low for me. I am kinda music buff and it really irritates me.
I searched internet and found that Viper 4 Android might do the magic .
Anybody advise if its a problem with the device or Android OS designed for Huawei ?
Anybody using Viper4Android in Honor6 ? If so how is the performance
Thanks in adavance buddies :good:
Hey Guys,
I opened a thread in the offical Huawei Forum in order to try to push a little the better implementation of the camera 2 api. I know chances are low, but if there is enough feedback and participation in the discussion maybe there is a chance for change. So please feel free to contribute to the thread and also share it if you are interested in better camera 2 api implementation.

Maybe also support these for a smarter camera app:

Thank you for sharing the links and for the support. I know the chances are low that this is going to change something but maybe huawei pays some attention to the community...
I don't know how much this will really matter in the recent light of the huawei ban, but we received an answer regarding the Camera2api implementation in the forums.

Lets hope that the noise made about this topic is enough to maybe move something a a better direction.
Huawei doesnât care, I bet. At least Lightroom can shoot HDR DNG with the ultra wide cam...
I wanted to make a comment about this. I just bought the p30 pro here in China. I have been waiting for the emui 10 update. But, I also found on Huawei's website the Huawei Camerakit, which it says encapsulates the Google camera2 API. It requires Android studio version 3.0.1 or later, a Kirin 970 or later, and emui 8.1.0 or later... Wouldn't this mean a developer like the people on here could implement it? Link is developer.huawei.com/consumer/en/Camerakit.
I am hoping you all have an explanation/some enlightenment!
P30 Lite specification
Could anybody share Camera2 API Prob results here for Huawei P30 Lite?
I have a Vertu Aster P Chinese clone, purchased from here https://www.luxuryvertu.cn/ProID473.html and since buying it, I've been desperate to try and update it from the Vertu-themed Android 6.0 Marshmallow that it came with.
They lie about the phone specs on their site that I got it from. It doesn't run Android 8.0 and it doesn't have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC .The genuine Vertu Aster P runs on Android 9.0 Pie, which is what this clone should have really come with, being a late 2019 phone and to stay true to the genuine Vertu. Trouble is, being a Chinese replica, and having an MTK SoC, there is no support for it. The manufacturers refuse to provide me with the kernel source code, so I'm at a dead end in terms of any Android development.
One thing I did notice is that the 'Device Info' app shows the device as being a 'gionee6755_66_m'. See the second attachment that I've uploaded. Does this mean anything to anyone? Is it the model of a specific Gionee handset? Could this be a clue as to what the Chinese clone makers based this phone off? If so, I do know of a few threads here and there on XDA related to Gionee development.
Also, in the third screenshot attachment that I've uploaded, you can see that the icons for data connection and aeroplane mode are rubbing up against each other, suggesting that someone has made a 'quick and dirty' fix to try and get both of the icons to fit the width of this phone's screen. Which also might suggest that this ROM was actually pulled from another device. Any thoughts?

Note that you on every Android device can fake its brand and/or model: you can even make it think to be an Apple iPhone 11 Pro. You also can fake its version of Android OS. What you can't (easily) change are descriptions of installed hardware components .
So one can't really say your device is a Vertu Aster P or Gionee6755_66_m or whatever.
What I think happened is that you got screwed.

I wasn't 'screwed' as such. That's a bit of a crass term. The device is of premium quality, feels as heavy as a genuine Vertu and really does look the part. And it performs perfectly fine on Android 6.0. The phone is fast and responsive and does whatever I need it to do.
That said, it wouldn't have caused them any more distress in putting Android 9.0 onto this phone. The MT6755 Helio P10 chipset that this clone has is more than capable of running 9.0. Why they didn't is a mystery to me.
Hi,
I own the Teclast P10HD https://www.teclast.com/en/zt/P10HD/
I want to root it, and if possible install Android 10, I have searched the forums but found nothing about it (There's a thread about the older P10 which has different hardware).
Any help is highly appreciated.
I've been trying to root the device but traditional methods don't work as the boot partition can't be unlocked, also the key method used for other devices made by the same chipset manufacturer doesn't work either. There's a flashing tool provided by the manufacturer but it only works on Windows and I don't own a copy so I couldn't try it. Let's hope someone is able to unlock the device as the hardware is pretty decent
This device has something odd.
Antutu reports the same speed of a mate pad t8 and many other tablets, but it's not very responsive.
I think android is not very optimized for this unisoc, what do you think?
It get much nicer with poco launcher and mi camera but still it looks a bit slow for a 2020 device

you need to bear in mind that it has only 3 GB RAM, which is not ideal for a 2020 android device. I use it mainly for internet relating activities and social network apps. I installed some lite games and they work fine. Given its extremely low price, its value is good.
Did you manage to find any custom ROM that works on it?

The mate pad has 2gb so that's not the question.
The p10hd can run everything, it gives no problems but generally speaking it is not that fluid.
I know Huawei or xiaomi can probably add some optimizations here and there, maybe a version 10 of android and a teclast custom launcher could help it. Let's see if they prefer to launch new devices or are now working on those they already produce to experiment a bit.
However, unisoc is pretty good, now that chromeos is getting lighter, it would be nice to see it on this soc

Sorry but I didn't get this line. What is Unisoc? and what does chromium have to do with it?
By the way, does Teclast usually upgrade the software or are we gonna stuck to what we got?

No idea on teclast upgrade policies but I guess we're OK considering that m16 is still on android 8.
Unisoc is the cpu soc brand. It's quite cheap but not bad at all, I was only guessing how chromeos would run on it. Chromeos includes android and Linux apps, it's going to be an os we will find very often in the next years. I would try a color e-ink too in it, to make cheap long-lasting edu tools available to a huge lot of people: add the embedded 4g/5g connection support and you get wherever you want

Hello!
Is there anywhere I can find a ROM for my Huawei Honor 30 phone? I am finding ROMs for tons of other Huawei phones (including Honor 30S, Honor View 30, ect.), but not my specific model. Anyone know why that is? I thought my phone was a flagship phone when I bought it... but surely it wasn't of nobody ever looked into making a ROM for it???
Thanks!
