To follow up: installing an earlier gapps did not help the problem with GMail, YouTube, and others crashing. Maybe it requires gapps being installed over a fresh install. maybe it's because the recommended 1/2019 gapps are no longer available for download (not that I could see). At any rate...

Thank you for your hard work on this ROM; I love it! I'm using it because I want to be able to receive Google Voice calls and Google apps sideloaded onto FireOS don't seem to properly send push notifications. They do on this ROM. I've noticed that after a couple of weeks, *some* of the gapps...

Just want to add my thanks to LordNerevar. I use my N7 in the audio dock and it makes an ideal bedside stereo/clock/alarm/e-reader/2:30 am Facebook browser. I don't know of any other Android tablets with that capability, so I'm trying to keep this mighty mite going as long as I possibly can.

I was only able to install it with stock. Even then, it had to be the full install, not the OTA update. That install locks the bootloader and unroots; so I then had to re-unlock, which of course wipes the entire device, and then restore from a Google and Titanium backup. Not sure updating is...

I'd recommend trying the OTA again. As I recall, mine failed during the first attempt, but succeeded upon retrying it. I don't know why, or whether I somehow got lucky on a one-time basis, or if it just takes two attempts. All I know is that it did work, that time, that way, for me. Good luck!

I think most manufacturers require that you use their proprietary recovery to install their updates. But because this device has two different recoveries, there's an option to let you keep TWRP and also install OTA updates. When you flash TWRP, flash it to the "recovery2" partition, not the...

Not certain, but I think the key might be in the new software version identifier. Looks like it may be intended to upgrade a device with 351 to version 352. If you are running 350, it might be failing on the initial version check. I can't provide specific instructions, but you might try...

Not sure, but I think the recovery and recovery2 recoveries are different. I think the Huawei recovery2 is an emergency restore utility, which I opted to overwrite with TWRP. (It's the one you can run using vol-up at the bootloader unlocked warning page.) The normal Huawei recovery is the usual...

My M3 is unlocked. The first attempt at the OTA update failed for reasons I don't know. But I initiated the download again and the second time it installed. I had to re-root afterward, but the update *did not* re-lock the bootloader, thankfully. [Edit] My partition setup is probably different...

This time around I flashed TWRP on recovery2, not the standard recovery partition. I'm hoping that leaves the stock recovery in place to install OTA updates normally if and when there's another update. Naturally, there's no guarantee it still won't re-lock the bootloader...

I believe the 2.5 GB one has the two files. That's the one I flashed using TWRP.

No idea--I don't use it, so never applied it in the first place. Sorry.

My tablet wasn't wiped after the update. But the boot loader was locked; unlocking it wiped the tablet. I restored from backup, but there's still a lot of manual setup after that, since many apps (including email) don't backup and restore their settings and accounts properly.

Yes, I got TWRP installed. I used the one in the last link in greatslon's post: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=125388:highfive: I used the file that's about two-thirds of the way down the page, with "BTV-W09_5" in its name.

Downloaded the two zip files. Rebooted into TWRP (greatslon 5 version). First flashed update.zip, then immediately flashed the other one. Rebooted and the update was in place, though there bootloader was now locked and stock recovery in place of TWRP.

Running slim 4.4.4 with ParrotMod (F2FS on data partition only). Rooted and SDMaid scheduled to clean things up nightly. It's not a snappy tablet, but it's fine for reading Facebook and news in the middle of the night--even for watching YouTube videos. I have the audio dock, so this tablet...

Yes, fortunately the same bootloader unlock code worked again.

I'm in the US. Downloaded the OTA but it wouldn't install, since I've got TWRP installed as my recovery. I used Firmware Finder to download the full update (two .zip files). These do flash with no problem; unfortunately, they reinstalled stock recovery and locked my bootloader. So I had to...

Same result here I got the same problem on the unlock web page, and the same email result from Huawei USA. I finally resorted to paying the $4.49 to DC-Unlocker and successfully unlocked (rooted, installed TWRP, etc.). I *have* read here and there that Huawei requires that you create an account...

The workaround works for me, too. This is a very useful app--thanks! But it does need to be updated for Marshmallow and beyond. Again, thanks for your work!

It takes me 5-10 mins each boot. 32GB, cache and data formatted to F2FS. I'd been wondering about that, too--glad it's not just me. I've also wondered whether it makes a difference if SuperSU is configured to allow su during boot or to allow su to system.

Adding my thanks I'd like to add my thanks to the chorus. All the changes you've made were *exactly* what I needed. * The newest version is a significant performance improvement over the last one * My room is also as far as possible from the wifi AP, so the receiver boost is most welcome As...

You've got it, though you're well advised to make a full backup first. The device should boot up and then reboot once on its own shortly thereafter.

I flashed universal over SlimKat/F2FS and kept all my userdata. For me, it makes a big and noticeable difference, though not a night-and-day difference, especially after I've opened a bunch of apps.

There's something really interesting happening over in the world of the Nexus 7 (original model). That device is notorious for its horrible performance degradation after the first year of ownership. F2FS helped somewhat, but it's still a subpar model. But someone has come up with a series of...

My dock seems to be charging, and playing audio, as it did before the update. For reference, I dirty-flashed over the older Nerevar ROM and kernel. Wiped cache and dalvik. System is ext4. I used TWRP 3.0.1.0.

I've gone through two motherboards now for my grouper wifi--both failures happened after flashing lollipop (once OTA, once from an image). In both cases, I was able to get to fastboot mode, but the cache partition was corrupt and could not be reformatted due to unknown reasons. Ultimately one of...

Hardware problem, perhaps About a year ago, I decided to try the 5.0 release. Upon installation and reboot, It stuck at the "Google" logo. I was able to get into the bootloader, and it said it was still unlocked, but I couldn't do anything: boot to system failed, and even boot to recovery...

TWRP backups fail on stock 5.1 with f2fs/franco? I downloaded the 5.1 factory image; installed it using the included batch file; installed franco r82 and formatted /cache and /data to f2fs. It seems to run reasonably well, but TWRP 2.8.5.1 and 2.8.6.0 both fail to make a backup, giving an...

Working great Thank you for your hard work on this. For various reasons, I'm doing everything I can to keep from replacing my aging N7 with a newer device. I formatted cache and data with f2fs before installing. Trial and error show that I can only use franco's r82 kernel for this...

Alas... Thanks, that's what I see, too. Unfortunately, I can't choose a Google account to back up to, and I think that means that backup/restore doesn't happen.

Google backup transport unavailable? This rom looks beautiful and everyone seems to like it so much; but when I wipe/install/startup, I find that the Google backup transport mechanism is unavailable to automatically reinstall all my apps and data. Has anyone else encountered this, or am I the...

Issue with music playback through bluetooth headset? Let me start out by thanking all the devs; this ROM is fantastic to use and to look at--thanks so much for all your hard work! Has anyone had problems with music playback through a bluetooth (A2DP) headset? I find that once I connect my...

Calendar crashed for me, too. I finally ditched it for the Google version from the Play store. That's working great for me; but it's not red.
