Is there some non chinese website that gives us at least a brief description of whats in this rom?

ajsmsg78 · Oct 2, 2015

Yes, you get double tap to wake and a ton of more features that I'll add to the OP.

No, not really. You get double tap to wake, automatic call recording, the camera flash flashes when you get a phone call (you can turn that on or off) status bar mods (remove clock, center clock etc..) there are a bunch of things. I had it installed on my original X2 which I sold and it was awesome. I'm waiting for my unlock code for my new X2 so I can flash this. Then I'll list all of the features in the OP.

Ok, so its a stock Huawei based rom with some added features?

Why do you have to be on stock b108 to flash this? It's Kangvip custom rom.
I'm on Kangvip B015 custom rom. I should be able to flash now.

Flash it then and let me know how it goes. You may have issues with things like the dual SIMS if you don't update to B108 first.

Is there any way to flash this ROM on the GEM-701L B002?

You can try it if you're unlocked and have TWRP installed. I'm not sure that it works with the 701L. I don't have a 701L to test it. It probably won't boot on your 701L.

The best way is to flash back to stock B015 in Fastboot then take the OTA to B106 then download B107 and manually flash it. Then download B108 and manually flash that. Then install TWRP again and flash B108SP01 KangVIP.

Updated the OP with a link to KangVIP-B106.

Thanks to the DC-unlocker posts, I finally was able to unlock the bootloader on my new 32GB x2 (yes, I'll be selling my 16GB model now). After installing TWRP, I flashed this ROM, since I didn't want to deal with all the incremental upgrades. Unfortunately, I can't get the Double Tap to wake to work. I downloaded the apk file, and it installed just fine. However, when I open it, I get a pop-up in Chinese that only gives me one option to click. When I click it, the app closes immediately. I've tried reinstalling it, but I get the same result. I tried restoring the stock B106 image I had saved using TWRP, but the Double Tap doesn't work on it either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try this one:

I'm on KangVIP B106 and this one works for me.

Thanks for the file, but unfortunately, it didn't work. I still click "OK", and then the program closes goes back to my home screen. When I press the recent apps button (or whatever it's called), I see that the program is still running. If I go back into it and click "OK" again, the same thing happens. I think I may flash b106, then flash b106sp1. My previous X2 didn't work with Double Tap until I upgraded to b106sp1, so maybe this one will have the same result.

Just flash regular B106 then KangVIP B106, I know double tap to wake works on KangVIP B106 because that's what I'm running.

I have to say, this phone can be incredibly frustrating. My 16GB version had an issue when I installed TWRP that caused it would boot straight into TWRP until I flashed the stock recovery, at which point I could boot into the system. If I need TWRP, I'd flash it, use it, and then flash the stock recovery to get back into the system.

Moving on, with my new 32GB model, I was able to use TWRP with no issues, but Double Tap wouldn't work in KangVIP B108. So I flashed back to stock B106, then flashed B106SP1, which was the way I got Double Tap to work on my 16gb model. After flashing B106SP1, Double Tap started working. However, now I can't get TWRP flashed correctly. I've tried using fastboot on both my Mac and a Windows VM on my Mac. Every time, it says it flashed correctly, but when I attempt to access recovery, I get the stock recovery. This happens whether I use "adb reboot recovery" or if I shut down and reboot while holding the Volume Up button.

Here's a copy from Terminal on my Mac:

****MacBook: platform-tools ****$ ./fastboot flash recovery/Users/****/Downloads/X2_TWRP_CN_5.1.1_kangvip/RECOVERY_HW.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'recovery' (32336 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.689s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.802s]
finished. total time: 1.492s

I'm almost at my wit's end with these phones. I'm currently using a Nexus 5 as my "stable" phone, but I'd love to get back to the X2. This is easily one of my favorite smartphones I've ever had, and the battery life is amazing. However, I'm getting close to getting rid of the 32GB model and just waiting to see what comes out in the not-to-distant future from some other manufacturers.

Sorry for the rant.

The recovery_hw.img, is that what you're trying to flash to get TWRP? That's the stock Huawei recovery. You need to flash this:

https://docviewer.yandex.com/?url=ya-disk-public%3A%2F%2FvI5Y3Obeku4qzIrtHfPviJPL3yhTpSABBi9V4fM0UpU%3D%3A%2FRecovery%2FTWRP%2FX2_TWRP_CN_5.1.1_kangvip.rar&name=X2_TWRP_CN_5.1.1_kangvip.rar&c=56172ee53f9c

That's the newest TWRP.

My advice would be to flash to stock B106. Then flash KangVIP B106. Then install the double tap to wake app and it will work. Enable it and you're good to go. It works on B106.

Like you, I also own a Nexus. (Nexus 6) It's fun playing with Marshmallow but I like the X2 more than any other phone I've ever used. It took me a while to get everything figured out but it's awesome now.

That's the newest TWRP.

Reading is fundamental, I suppose. After your question (as I assume was your intent), it occurred to me to go back and check to see if there were any additional .img files in the folder. Flashed the twrp_cn.img file, and amazingly (sigh) everything worked. It definitely helps when you flash the right file! I guess that's what happens when you try flashing too late at night/too early in the morning. Thanks again!
