the phone seems to go into a deep sleep if it's been locked for a while, I guess this is why the battery life is good - I found when this happens double tap doesn't work and certain apps effectively close themselves if they're not actively doing anything.

I bought my 6.1 from eGlobal having also bought my previous phone from them. Both phones arrived in about a week (I'm in Ireland) and I didn't have to pay any customs charges so no complaints. Really happy with the 6.1 and it was the best price I saw anywhere (though the following week they had...

64/4 version and it's very responsive. Best phone I've had for years. Had it for 3 weeks now, haven't had a single hang, or crashed app, I think I've only rebooted once. Battery life is great too.

yeah this messes up the storage settings. It's also not a perfect solution - some apps will install to the "adopted" SD card, but many still insist on installing on the internal memory, so it doesn't buy you a lot of extra space. Fundamentally 16GB is not enough for a modern Android phone - I...

I think odd numbered builds are single-SIM and even numbered are dual-SIM. So I have B181 on my single-SIM phone, others are using B182 which is the same build but for dual-SIM.

Not happy with the performance of the P8Lite - scrolling is jumpy and often freezes for a few seconds. Facebook app definitely makes it worse, but even after removing that, the phone is still really slow. Has anyone else noticed this, and is there a solution? I expected better performance with...

had to redo this after receiving an OTA update. After the update it appeared that the adoptable storage was still there, but apps were writing to the internal storage only and the phone quickly ran out of space. Even after redoing the ADB changes I had some trouble with Spotify which claimed...

still no MM for the European version - I'm beginning to suspect we're not going to get it...

I haven't tried the Huawei 6.0 - Lollipop is the latest available in Europe. RR's probably about as fast as EMUI and has been completely stable for the week or so I've had it installed (no reboots or anything else weird); Battery life is not as good as EMUI (which has fancy app-management...

took me a few tries to get RR installed - in the end had to wipe internal storage as without doing so the google setup process wouldn't complete. Full wipe (including internal); flash RR, flash mini GApps (Mini_Dynamic_GApps-7.1.x-20170121.zip); Titanium restore this is using mparus's TWRP...

what GApps are people using with this?

Stupid question but what is substratum and how do I not install it ☺️ Sent from my G760-L01 using Tapatalk

IME it's not quick, and internet access lags both on WiFi and 4G. Sent from my G760-L01 using Tapatalk

same here, for several versions now. Here's a screenshot of overnight battery usage - phone was charged to 100% before I went to bed, in the morning it was 56%...

NFC is working, but not for Android Pay because it recognises that the bootloader has been unlocked. Sent from my G760-L01 using Tapatalk

finding poor battery life on this ROM (as well as the network speed issue). Getting max 18 hours from a full charge, but sometimes a lot less and losing 20-30% overnight. Main battery user is "Android System". EMUI would generally get over 24 hours from a charge.

WhatsApp working for me after editing build.prop Don't use Snapchat, is that the same issue? Sent from my G760-L01 using Tapatalk

yes it works fine on my G7-L01; and I'm using TWRP 3.0.3 (the version he has linked on his thread in the ROMs forum). Make sure you're doing a full wipe and clean install the first time you try installing it.

I had similar errors with v2, this is the TWRP I'm using: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862699744

are you using MParus's custom version of TWRP?

Those ROMs should work regardless of your build. I have a European G7-L01 and I'm running Lineage and it's stable. Sent from my G760-L01 using Tapatalk

Yeah, I've had the same impression, wasn't 100% sure though. Sent from my G760-L01 using Tapatalk

current build seems pretty solid, couple of small bugs but so does EMUI and at least with Lineage you get all the latest Android features.

I had the same issue on my phone - double tap never worked. It's working fine in Lineage, which is far better than EMUI if you're willing to take the plunge.

A couple of times now my home button has stopped working. Might be something to do with System Profiles which I have setup to trigger on WiFi connection. Switching to another profile has fixed it. Sent from my G760-L01 using Tapatalk

I've just flashed it from TWRP haven't left the office yet though :eek:

thanks, looks like I do need it as I just had another random reboot. only it's not random - it seems to happen when I leave my office and the phone disconnects from the WiFi, 3rd time it's happened now with different builds.

how do I flash the kernel (sorry for stupid question). also - do I need this new kernel if I'm running the 20170210 ROM?

I've clean installed the Feb 10 version, no issues so far. Sent from my G760-L01 using Tapatalk

How's RR working for you? My phone did this again this evening but a reboot got me back in. I was wondering if it was WiFi related. Sent from my G760-L01 using Tapatalk

just had the same issue with 0131 version, reboot to black screen, but the notification bar is available. :( seems to have happened at the same time as yesterday - I wonder is that just a coincidence? Edit: - switching Airplane mode on/off has got me back into the system. Weird.

just seeing the posts above about reboots - I hadn't gone near airplane mode. anyway, I'm back on the 0131 version and it seems stable for now. what are people using to backup / restore their apps and settings? spent ages last night setting up the phone, frustrating having to wipe it and...

installed latest build yesterday, just now it rebooted to a blank screen. I can pull down the notifications blind and the "back" arrow is visible at the bottom of the screen, but can't do anything else with it (tried rebooting). Tried phoning my number and the call came through, so I guess...

I flashed the 0131 version and this seems to have got rid of the error. It's telling me there's an nightly update available from Feb 06 - I assume I can install that OK? ---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 PM ---------- link to latest actually links to...

I'm having the same issue - did you find a fix?

I think it's a known problem with Lollipop on the G7. I don't know if it is fixed in Marshmallow (as it hasn't been released for my country yet).

I'm on B331 (C432 Euro edition) - is there any benefit in upgrading to B360 and if so what's the most straightforward way of doing so? I think the Lollipop update for Europe came out early 2016 so maybe we'll see the MM update early in the new year (it'd be weird if they had created the update...

ezral's idiot's guide worked for me too - just to note the link to ES Explorer is dead and the latest version won't install on the Nook ST. I used this apk (version 3.1): https://es-file-explorer.en.uptodown.com/android/download/56442

fair enough, it's no biggie.

Installed it anyway, worked fine. Very little difference between Emui 3.0 and 3.1 though, in particular the "Trusted Places" Lollipop feature is missing, & double-tap to wake which was in 3.0 is gone in 3.1. Annoying.

"Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Netherlands" this is OK for a UK/Ireland phone? My current version: B251 CUSTIRLC368D003

Lollipop coming to the G7 in September, November, December It's now January - come on Huawei, this is a farce!

so we were supposed to get Lollipop in September, then it was put back to November. Last week in November now, still no sign... *drums fingers*

XT1039 (Peregrine) Unlocked bootloader, installed CWM, installed CyanogenMod 12 (Android 5.1) A couple of times the phone died randomly and to bring it back I had to take the battery cover off, disconnect the battery, connect power and then reconnect the battery. The 3rd time this happened...

hmm - listening to music yesterday the music suddenly stopped. Took the phone out of my pocket and it was dead - no holding down the power key, or Power+Vol Up or Down would bring it back to life or allow me into the recovery - tried holding power and then power+vol-up for 3 mins. Plugged it...

eventually got going again by flashing PacMan ROM and then the SaberMod version of CM12.1 - now how do I get root back?

I did search - this post says you can install direct from stock.

0505 nightly hanging on initial bootup. trying to flash the 0505 nightly (over stock 4.4.4) using CWM, wiped data, cache, dalvik seems to be hanging on the head logo animation (the screen is flickering as well) - how long should first boot take?

MTK6589 dead - emmc error when flashing My phone (Freelander i30/Newman K1 MTK6589-based) failed to boot up displaying an "encryption unsuccessful" error last week. I had CWM on it and was still able to get into that so tried flashing a ROM from needrom but it still wouldn't boot and from...
