Some how I have messed up my whatsapp notifications. Pretty sure that's down to me.

The Huawei backup tool seems to be working correctly or at least it restored all my sms messages and phone contact pictures.
Trouble is I can't tell you too much more than that due to me swapping Roms around on a regular basis I don't have many apps with data on them.
thx for response - just if you have a little time: can you please backup 1 app and then try to recover it, and in the app-overview of the recovery see if it is possible to activate data (there are 2 checkboxes, left for app and right for data) - thank you in advance

Sorry I can't help any further at the moment, I have switched to Letschky's B350 Rom.

As much as I like this rom I can't copy Whatsapp to the system folder for some reason but I can on the above rom.

Sorry Mike not dissing you hard work, I love what your doing but need Whatsapp as it's the only way my autistic daughter will communicate with me using her phone at the moment.

Interesting - I'm not using it as my main phone at the moment, so I've not noticed any WhatsApp issues. I wonder if it is due to Huawei's Phone Manager? I removed it in previous versions, but included it in the latest 3.1 as people seemed to want it.

I have tested V3.1 and a newer (unreleased) V3.1.1 of my ROM with WhatsApp and you are correct - the Phone Manager seems to kill apps behind the scenes, even when it is replaced with the Manager from a European device (V3.1.1 uses an Honor 8 copy of the Phone Manager).

It seems the only solution may be to remove the Manager. This is fine with me, as I hate stuff happening behind the scenes and I can live without the functionality of this app, but I know others 'like' it.

I will take it out and then do some tests to make sure this resolves the issue of non-system apps being killed.

I've read through this thread and I'm still confused what process I need to follow to install this ROM.
I am knew to this but can usually follow instructions pretty easily.

I am currently on stock B322. I just want to flash the 3.1 Rom.

Do I need to unlock the bootloader first?
Then install TWRP?
Then flash the ROM?

I'm finding all the processes a little confusing.

I have no problems with whatsapp on stock. The phone manager is a beast and you have to turn off so many settings to get things to work in the background. Have you tried ignore battery optimisations?

Yes - exactly that. Use the TWRP linked to in the first post.

My (new) phone manager settings are:

Cleanup:
Settings / Automatic cleanup: Off
Whitelist: All items selected

Battery:
Close apps after screen lock: All deselected
Settings - Close excessively power-intensive apps: Off
Settings - Keep WLAN on during sleep: Always

Auto-launch:
All: Selected

Lock screen cleanup:
Close all: Off

In the normal Settings page:

Apps / Settings / Special Access / Ignore Optimisations
Change Allowed to All Apps
Change all required apps to Allow

I suspect the setting you suggested is the latter. I'll give this a go. If it works, i'll write it up formally, post it on my Blog and link to it from the first post.

The Chinese Huawei ROM is SO keen on killing things it's untrue!

Ok so I got this far.

Flashed TWRP.

I am in the TWRP menu and not sure what to do now?
In the thread there is mentioning of wiping data elsewhere blah blah blah confused HELP.
Where should the custom rom be stored to install?
Next steps please :)

No idea how i got there but I now have the rom installed :good:

It's working perfectly with all the Chinese crap removed. I still need to adjust the settings for new apps in the phone manager but that's fine. Only real change i made was to add the Nova Launcher.

I have been testing the above settings since I wrote them and everything that didn't work before now works perfectly.

Question about calling 119 (emergency call at South Korea)

Few days ago , I had to call 119( same as 911). When I pushed the green call button, the dial app disappered.
AnyBody has same issue? or I just happened to me.
I used 3.0 With manager version

Just tested this here and yes, the dialler doesn't seem to initiate a call with 119. I'll take a look at it when I get back from the US and start work on a B350 build.

Do you know how to set up the google play in system?
Any application I try to insert into the system is not installed.
If I try to insert an apk in system / app, it is not present in programs installed after the device restarts.
Thank you
