Readme
Use the standard Torch app wherever possible, it only enables flashlight. Other apps from Play Store are designed to use the camera interface, which means camera will use additional power.
For more RAM: Settings->Performance->Memory management.
Do not enable KSM, as video encoder/decoder stops working.
HuaweiSettings
Charge current - allows you to set custom charging current. While this actually limits the current input, it effectively decreases or increases the available current transferred to the battery. This is useful in multiple ways:
Slower, but more effective charging. Your battery will last longer.
Faster charging when connected to USB. For example, USB charging is limited to 500mA, but newer PCs allow drawing up to 800mA or even more. This can be configured via the setting.
Manual override of non-standard charger allowing to draw more than 500mA.
Magnetic sensor calibration - lets you delete previous calibration information. This is useful to recalibrate the compass (when it's inaccurate). Just tap the item & then open any compass up to recalibrate your sensor.
If the phone reboots unexpectedly, crash log is found at /data/dontpanic .
To report bugs, use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tortel.syslog

Thank you, i'll try

wow, downloaded...

Many thanks, good job!

Did you do a factory reset before?
And does it show the cm logo or just boot to recovery?

before installing the rom, i've wiped everything, data, cache, system and dalvkit cache, reboot recovery. After installed the rom, and right after, installed the gapps. Then, in recovery, reboot system and after it show the huawei logo, it enters recovery without showing the CM logo.
EDIT: i will install ble_part stock, and them install again the B518, repartition again and try to install CM again.

Booted and installed just fine after doing Blepart and using your recovery. It's slow as molasses, probably in great part due to the fact that the display glitches are still there, but it certainly works, and it's as much KitKat as my Moto G. Something worth mentioning, your recovery has some sort (the same?) of display glitch as well in which the screen only seems to update after a couple of presses of the volume button, not immediately.

ROM and GAPPS, everything works fine.
No glitches for me.
Great job, thanks!

I don't have any devices to compare it with so it feels "fast" to me. Its great to know the recovery suffers same display bugs, it confirms that its in fact kernel side problem. Though, kernel side does not have BLT enabled, which I thought would be the problem. I'll debug the registers, and see if I can find something odd. It could also be a clock hz issue, it was changed in 3.4.

Well, it stutters a lot, and it's not nearly as smooth as something like Aurora or even stock Huawei ROMs, but I'm sure it's related to the display issues or another issue like that because even scrolling through the Settings app or the little animation in the notification drawer that flips into the shortcuts stutters like hell and drags around, which shouldn't be an issue for this device and wasn't a problem with other ROMs, and overclocking and other user-level optimizations do nothing to alleviate it.
I did also notice black screens when waking the device from lockscreen (digitizer still works) almost every time, requiring multiple attempts until the display finally wakes. I know you squashed this one multiple times, but here it is again.
It's a miracle for this to happen to begin with, so I can't help to be amazed seeing KitKat on this device. Thank YOU so much, Blefish.

do i need to have my phone rooted?

This. If some months ago anyone told me I'd be installing 4.4 on this device I'd tell them they were crazy.
Thanks for your amazing work, Blefish

Finally i could get it to boot.
probably i broke something, i've installed the oficial rom and then, with 5.5.0.4 recovery wiped everything. Next installed the blepart, new recovery and its working
Good job sir
Thank you!

Install everything (partition, 6 recovery, cm11 rom and gapps) and works pretty well so far.

is anyone having problems to connect to wifi networks? i cant connect
EDIT: i guess that is a problem with the wireless definition of the rom, im thinking this, because i can connect to open networks, but when i change the segurity of the wlan to wpa or wpa2, i can't connect to it.
Could you look at this @Blefish?
Im not sure if its a bug or not, maybe something is broken in wpa.supplicant

I have flashed BlePart recovery, i have rebooted the recovery and i have flashed blepart 2.2 then i have flashed CVM Version 6.0.4.6. The phone rebooted and now i cant open the phone or recovery. I tried to install offical 2.3 from sd card but i coudn't. How can i recover my phone?

[Q] Why does my Wifi & Bluetooth not working even with stock rom?

Hey guys,
I have a Galaxy S4 (i9500). I installed Omega ROM v22 on it and everything went smoothly, Wifi & BT working perfectly.
After a few hours of using the device (nothing special at all, texts and stuff like that) - I noticed my wifi isn't working and by not working I mean that I click the wi-fi button and it changes from gray to the mid-state between gray to green for around 20 seconds before it goes back to green ago.
If I open the menu to see my networks it just says "Enabling" without any networks there.
I had to drive somewhere so I went to my car and tried to enable Bluetooth, and same thing happens there - Bluetooth will not turn on and will stay stuck on mid-state between gray and green for a while and go back to green.
I flashed omega rom v22 again and the problem was gone, or so I thought. I went back to the car for another drive and realized the bluetooth issue is back - and when I got home I realized the wifi issue is back as well.
I figured I need to reset everything so I tried the following:
Full wipe (including dalvik and even including "internal SD card") and then flashing stock rom (from the official website, stock rom of my country).
The issue was back after a few hours. I do not have BT or Wifi access. Yesterday Wifi suddenly started working for a few hours but then it stopped working again.
I really need help! I have no idea what to do with this issue!

Well rule number one when you have problems after flashing without wipe.
1. perform a full wipe and see if the problem persists.

Tried that, no luck.
What else would you try?
In some places when people had problems with Wi-Fi they said to flash a different kernel but I don't see why I would have this specific issue with Omega Rom and why the default kernel with it wont work well?
Maybe this could be a root issue? My root works fine but I have this weird gut feeling like this is some permissions thing that's going on.
I'm trying to think why it would work right after the wipe but then stop working shortly after.
Another symptom: It randomly started working for a few minutes and then stopped again (around three hours ago).
Any idea what's going on?

Well, if you fully wiped and didn't restore any apps and settings then it can be two other things.
Or it's a bug in the rom or a hardware failure in your phone.
I would suggest trying a different rom first. Do not restore anything, not even your google account.

wi-fi fix?
Do you actually have an i9505? or is it a canadian or att version? if its the latter sometimes the devs offer some wifi-fixes, also try a different kernel. otherwise it could be that your radio/modem are not compatible with the version of the ROM you are flashing.

Tried arrow ROM and this issue doesn't seem to happen in this rom. Hope it stays like that...

Sadly, it did happen with this rom, after just a few hours.
I'm now using stock rom and still suffering from the issue.

hi , installed this rom but i still haven't network connection

Double boot when starting phone
Hello all together.
Yesterday I flashed the latest rom on my skomer.
So far everything runs smooth but I recognized one weird thing.
During boot (doesn't matter if a warm or cold start), the phone boots twice.
Means I see the Pin entry screen and after approx. 15s I see the boot animation again.
It does not matter if I enter the pin or not, it boots a second time at all.
After the second boot everything is OK.
This was a clean flash from theboegls prerooted image with normal pa gapps flashed.
Does anyone have a solution for this issue!
Thanks a lot,
Kubunter

Just installed the new nightly(4.4.4.101014) Everything is running smooth. Just wondering if there is a radio for android 4.4.4 and how do i get it if there is?

I read the forum and tried this code and it worked for me.
run this code in your terminal if you cant find terminal get if from playstore using wifi.
adb shell
su
find /efs/|while read s; do chown radio:system $s; done;
find /modemfs/|while read s; do chown radio:system $s; done;
chmod -R 777 /efs/
chmod -R 777 /modemfs/
reboot
After reboot your mobile data should be working

Camera not working
Thank you for your great work, hopefully devs are reading this subthread, too.
It would be nice, if following message would be referred on the first message, since many people have issues with network. I managed only to find all the information by very inconvenient googling:

This post is the Theboegl's relevant one:

Did you use the right clockworkmod mentioned on the main post? Also your firmware might be too new, therefore flashing this one might help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40232503&postcount=43]

If I got it right it must be
- install odin and get cwm on pc
- get supersu and cm on your sd card
- reboot in download mode
- flash cwm on phone
- reboot in Recovery
- well i think you can backup already
- root with supersu
- reboot in Recovery
- wipe data/factory
- install
- reboot​
I use 1010114
wifi and camera work here, but sim card seems not to be accepted
good use of hardware buttons after reflashing (this had issues before)
[did not install GApps, but that should not be a problem..?]
tried 10.2 from flxo and had the same problem with SIM

Double Boot
Hello all together,
I have a logcat of the problem, saved at pastebin.
As I´m a new user, I´m not allowed to post a outside link.
Is it possible that I will send someone who is able to post a link a PM?
The second boot happens around 22:44:54 o´clock
Something with a android process seems to be wrong.
Is anyone able to help?
Thanks a lot,
Kubunter

Android Lollipop?
Pushed fix for streaming YouTube should now work next nightly. Downloading source now to build recovery image. Thanks for waiting. I will try to solve the problems we have but I can't guarantee anything due to lack of device. I'm going to discontinue my work for ste devices soon. As long as it builds I will try my best to keep supporting them but fixing problems etc I can no longer continue.

There are still STE developers and I'm sure this one will get lollipop working if he can't I doubt we will see it , but lollipop might be a large merge and roms might have to rebase or start from scratch porting hardware workarounds and eventually bring back features.

intermittent network signal
Guys please help. I tried this ROM and it looks great but I'm loosing network signal almost every time I'm starting up navigation (Sygic) and I use it a lot. I don't loose it immediately, sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes after 20 min. but the signal triangle finally goes black and doesn't come back after switching off navigation. This makes it unusable to me. I've seen people reporting problems with network signal so I guess it's not the app. issue. Sometimes it looks like I just loose data transfer (it shows no internet) but the signal bar shows that I have network. Some other time I was not moving at all but the signal bar was going up and down from max. to min. within 3 sek. After few minutes it stabilized. Something seems to be wrong with the antenna or modem, whatever is responsible for network signal.
And another thing, that looks to be related, I don't have any arrows and network type sign (2G/3G) showing if I do or don't have internet connection.
There were some posts talking about a fix for network problem by typing some commands somewhere but could someone explain it step by step how to apply it, if it is a working fix.
Thanks!

After a reboot the home button doesn't work until I enter my pin code, which comes like half an hour after boot! How do I fix it and does anyone else have this problem!?

I was about to throw this piece of **** phone away but i gave it a last chance with Vanir. It took me nearly 2 hours to flash the Rom , but i got it working.
First of I want to thank the dev for the work, I realy apreciate it. You managed to make this phone usable again, I hate Samsung so much for this crap Software they used for the Xcover2.
After using Vanir for one week (using not testing), here is what is not working for me:
-maximum volume for every call
-stock photo app crashes
-Location is very inaccurate, my guess is the cell tower fix is working and the GPS is not
-sometimes i cant shut off the phone, it freezes and i have to pull the battery
-phone is sometimes not going to sleep mode, i have to restart it
Everything else is working perfectly, this is thousand times better then the Samsung bull****. Oh, my carrier is Telekom(Germany).

No radio/SIM with GT-7710 XCover 2 on CM11
The forum forces me to open a new thread, apologies.
I gave the Vanir Skomer 4.4.4.101714 nightly a try but my broadband (S7710XXAND2)/IMEI is gone after reboot. Big difference to most reports I've read is that once I return to stock ROM all is fine again. In other words: the SIM was not damaged. Also the chmod/chown and move-files-from-stock trick doesn't improve anything. No idea what else I should try. I'm currently back on stock Android.
This is what I've done:
- Use Odin 3.09 to apply 20140112_cwm-6.0.4.6_skomer_fixed.tar.md5
- Boot into CWM
- Update to CWM 6.0.4.7 via cwm_skomer_test2.zip
- Wipe/Factory + Dalvik reset
- Install vanir_skomer_4.4.4.101714.zip (also tried 20131231_cm_11.0_skomer-ota-eng.flx.zip)
- Install pa_gapps-modular-pico-4.4.4-20141019-signed.zip
- Wipe/Factory + Dalvik reset
+ Copied {efs,modemfs} from stock to vanir (removed vanir's folder contents before)
+ Fixed file perms to 666, folders to 777, owner to radio:system
I couldn't find TWRP for Skomer or a more recent clockwork recovery. Just mentioning this because I've read a post that mentioned recovery is responsible for setting radio related stuff.
Ideas?

Network connection doest work for me to. I like this rom too and like to be it get worked! (Y)

Never mind, fixed my radio issue. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56293409&postcount=37

vanir_skomer_4.4.4.101714
I got that one and currently it's syncing but I have no mobile networks. I'm from Finland and I'd like to know what data I should post to help fix it. (I could recompile and all if I get instructions)

Just wanted to confirm with my Vanir nightly of 101714, my camera app crashes too. No problems with radio or networking though.

Cant call, says my phone is currently airplane mode
hello, just installed the latest (vanir_skomer_4.4.4.102814) and now my phone can't find network and says that airplane mode is on when i try to call. Airplane mode button says it's off and kills the bt and wifi if i turn it on, aka goes to real airplane mode.
Fix for this would be more than welcome.

[Q] CM7.1 stable - wifi stops working properly?

Hi all,
I still use my old defy sometimes as a gps when I'm out and about. I'm running the official stable cm7.2 build. It has no sim card so I just connect to wifi at home to update apps etc. I find that after a couple of months wifi stops working properly. It's still connected but no traffic comes in or out. Happens on all wifi networks. I've found the only way to fix it is to wipe and reflash Cm. Then it's fine again for a few more months. Any ideas? It's a bit of a pain to have to set it up each time.
Are there any other roms that perform well, good battery life etc but are also very stable?
Thanks a lot

It looks like disabling wifi-n by editing the tiwlan.ini has solved the problem for now. But I'll wait and see if the issue happens again. The process is simple and described here: http://chromloop.com/2011/09/how-to...roblem-wifi-connected-but-no-internet-access/ The hardest part is probably making sure that you have read/write access to the files in question.
Note that I had to edit two files, tiwlan.ini and tiwlan_ap.ini (as someone mentioned in the comments of the above link) to get wifi working properly.

may i suggest you do a nandroid backup after you reflash your rom. then the next time it plays up again you just have to do a recovery instead of re-flashing and re-setup your gps again?

Most stable Lollipop/Marshmallow ROM?

Hi! I think I've tried every Lollipop/Marshmallow ROM out there, but I haven't found one as stable as KitKat ROMs (CM11/Stock). I just want a Lollipop/Marshmallow ROM that doesn't hang every time I open YouTube from recents (many apps suffer of that too), and with working WiFi (had this problem with CM13), and with decent battery life. CM13 is actually one of the most stable ROMs I've tried, but it had serious WiFi problems (it simply disconnects from the WiFi and then reconnects saying it doesn't have internet access, very annoying), some kind of TV-like static when booting and sometimes when unlocking the phone, and the recents cards sometimes got cut off (though this is not really a deal breaker). The only Marshmallow ROMs I haven't tried are BeanStalk and Mokee because they are based on CM, so I supposed they have the same problems. So, what's the most stable Lollipop/Marshmallow ROM you have tried? And can that ROM be used as daily driver?
Thanks!
Sorry for my English lol.

MoKee
So far, so good (It's only been 24 hours since I've installed it) on the 17-01-29 build of Mokee here
Wifi has been solid with no issues, rom seems stable, and YouTube ran fine from recents.
Update: Had strange problem with downloading email attachments with both gmail and Yahoo mail. Back to stock KK for the time being.
Update: Turns out the above email problems had to do with permissions.

It doesn't even boot here, first time it booted but it said that encrypting my device failed (WTF?) and then rebooted to do a factory reset, and it wiped the system partition. xD
I installed it again without Gapps and now it won't do anything, it justs sits there in the bootanimation for several minutes and then reboots. Perhaps​ I didn't downgrade correctly? How did you downgrade? I used RSD Flasher, and it has worked fine for me in the past.

It took me awhile to find the procedure and files that I used to downgrade/upgrade, but I finally did. Thanks to Nobe1976, this method of going back and forth from KK to JB doesn't require a PC; There are 2 zip files that you can flash w/ TWRP to go back and forth. Here's the procedure and file links: http://www.droidrzr.com/topic/50096-how-tomobile-downgrader-flash-back-10-09-14-14/
I too thought Exodus was stable, but slow. I liked using MoKee 5.1, but I had an annoying problem with it that I couldn't solve: Every time I picked up my phone, there was a notification to sign back onto my WiFi network. It did so without asking for any credentials, but it got too annoying for me.
Right now, I'm using PacMan Rom (4.4.4), and it's been performing very well and is stable. Here's the link in case you wanna try: https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/pacman/moto_msm8960/KK/release

Thank you so much! That will save me so much headaches lol.
I'm using lastest CM11 snapshot, working fine, but I find the battery doesn't last as much as in CM12.1.
EDIT: I'm writing from Mokee 6.0! That method for downgrading works flawlessly!
Mokee feels better than CM12.1 except by that TV-like interference when you unlock the device, and I haven't tried the WiFi, but it looks okay.

Thing to remember while reading all of the below, I have an XT905, with a JBBL.
I'm currently using "cm-13.0-20161205-ilichva-xt907_jbb.zip" for my daily. The only repeated "fails" I have is where WiFi will disconnect, however, it only happens if I am not using it and the phone is asleep. One thing I have noticed is that this is the only ROM that actually does go into deep sleep for me. I'm only on Wifi at home for extended periods (ie when phone goes to sleep). This may be the reason the other ROMs don't loose WiFi, because they don't go into deep sleep for me. My Wifi disconnects, and never is connected without internet. I just go into Wifi, select my network and say connect, and its all good again.
Previously (a few years back) I was using BlissPop (Lollipop), but did not use the latest build. I had better luck with "BlissPop-v3.9-moto_msm8960_jbbl-OFFICIAL-20150829-1751.zip"
Others I have used (Lollipop) and found pretty stable (ie used as daily for some time) were:
CARBON-5.1.1-Final-moto_msm8960_jbbl.zip
Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.8-moto_msm8960_jbbl.zip
and for KitKat
LS-KK-MileStone-3.2-moto_msm8960_jbbl.zip
With the CM13 ROM I have a 64GB SDCard, F2FS cache partition, Xposed, Viper, a Linux Swap Partition (512mb) and personally find it to be the most stable ROM I have used (apart from WiFi) on the phone. Some of the Lollipop (bliss pop included) could not run my live wallpaper (Celestial Bodies). I have also noticed that at least one app using the CPU (a Solitaire game attempting to find a winnable deal manually) actually runs a lot faster in CM13 than in the others.
If YouTube bothers you, maybe you should try the alternatives such as New Pipe or OGYouTube etc etc. Actually, I just tried YouTube from the recents,and it worked fine for me.
As for the TV Static on boot (just before animation) I have had that since I first unlocked the bootloader; I thought It was normal. It has been independent of any ROMs and it happens for me on every ROM.

Mokee 5.1
Sorry for going off-topic but would any of you guys happen to have a copy of the last LP Mokee build that was released on 4PDA ?
MK51.1-xt907_jbbl-20160420-ilichva.zip
The link is unfortunately dead and I can't find a mirror anywhere. I'd like to save a copy just in case anyone asks in the future. If any of you have, would you please share privately with me? Thanks a lot!

Thing to remember while reading all of the below, I have an XT905, with a JBBL.
I'm currently using "cm-13.0-20161205-ilichva-xt907_jbb.zip" for my daily. The only repeated "fails" I have is where WiFi will disconnect, however, it only happens if I am not using it and the phone is asleep. One thing I have noticed is that this is the only ROM that actually does go into deep sleep for me. I'm only on Wifi at home for extended periods (ie when phone goes to sleep). This may be the reason the other ROMs don't loose WiFi, because they don't go into deep sleep for me. My Wifi disconnects, and never is connected without internet.

The TV-like static seems to be something with the JBBL, it happens even in recovery for me (when the recovery locks and turns off the screen). About the WiFi, it disconnected even if I was playing a game or using the internet, but I live in a place where I don't have WiFi anymore, so it's not a problem.
Indeed, Mokee 6.0 and CM13 are the most stable ROMs I've tried, even more than CM11, except for the bugs said above, even the battery lasts more.
BTW, how do you increment swap? I've tried several methods, but it still shows 256MB.

I only get it when I reboot, but get it every time.

I personally have only seen it happen when the I wake the device up. Never has it occurred while I am using it.:angel: Last night I was searching for another thing in Xposed, and I saw a lot of Wifi type modules. Though most were about turning wifi off when the screen goes off; but I wasn't looking for Wifi stuff, so maybe you could find something that helps.

I tried Mokee, and I cant remember why, but it wasn't OK as a daily for me. To be honest, I would find it hard to go back to a ROM (ie less than MM) that does not have privacy guard. I also forgot to mention on my phone I have Adaway and Lucky Patcher and > 10 boot scripts (such as swap, IO optimisations, trim command, disabling media scanner on boot ... etc etc etc)

I am guessing by "increment" you really mean implement? Assuming that, I use a boot script. Currently I use a swap partition, so, for that I:
1. create a linux swap partition on the SDCard using Minitool Partition Wizard
2. Put the card into my phone, boot it and Find out the partition details (eg "/dev/block/mmcblk1p2" on my card now)
3. create a boot script to enable it on boot. The meat of the script is:
Code:
swapon /dev/block/mmcblk1p2;
Previously I have used a swap file, which is actually more complex. Something like:
Code:
location=/mnt/media_rw/sdcard1/data/local/tmp;
file_name=swapfile.dat;
desiredsizemb=512;
dd if=/dev/zero of=$location/$file_name bs=1048576 count=$desiredsizemb;
swapon -p 16000 $location/$file_name;
Hope the above helps, and let me know if you get it working.

Mokee has be running pretty solid here, I'll try CM13 and/or BeanStalk in a few days, though.
About swap, if I run "free" in the Terminal it shows it has swap memory, and I tried several methods (well, apps) to increment it but no luck. I'll try yours in a few days.
About the WiFi and the TV-like static, I bet is some difference between xt905 and xt907.

Well, the swap you currently see is ZRam, which is a compressed partition of memory used as a swap partition. ie not a file or physical partition on an sdcard (as I use above, in addition to ZRam). To increase ZRam, you loose available memory. That can be simply changed with the following lines:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/reset;
OR
swapoff /dev/block/zram0;
echo "201326592" > /sys/block/zram0/disksize;
mkswap /dev/block/zram0;
swapon /dev/block/zram0;
The number is 1024*1024*target_size (MB eg 600). I think you have to do it at boot time or you end up with device or resource busy messages.
Or you could use Kernel Adiutor - Virtual Memory
That actually reminds me, one bug I have noticed on all the CM13 ROMs I tried, was that the init.d did not work, I had to use Kernel Adiutor to implement it; and I have a lot of scripts.

Currently running the new Lineage ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3577746. Thanks to Ilichva...
So far, so good !!! Performing very well with no issues found yet. :thumbup:

It still has the WiFi disconnecting when asleep for me.

Performing well here, too! It has the same bugs CM13 had, but I feel is a bit snappier.

Is it just me, or is the default swappiness set at 100? (cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness)
I actually tried lowering it to the android default of 60, and the ROM felt less "snappy", so put it back at 100

Indeed, is set at 100.

Possible Wifi fix?

I just want a Lollipop/Marshmallow ROM ... and with working WiFi (had this problem with CM13), and with decent battery life. CM13 is actually one of the most stable ROMs I've tried, but it had serious WiFi problems (it simply disconnects from the WiFi and then reconnects saying it doesn't have internet access, very annoying).

I have made a change to build.prop, which APPEARS to have bettered my Wifi stability.
Now, its only been a few hours, so its pretty early to say :fingers-crossed: it has definitely fixed it, but normally within this time, I would of expected to loose my Wifi connection, but it hasn't. :highfive:
Also, the change I made, I have read is actually only set at build time and thereby built into the ROM and not read from the build.prop.
The build.prop setting is: wifi.supplicant_scan_interval. My RAZR had it set to 30, while my N5 was set to 15. I have set it down to 5 (for testing purposes ) Searching the net will bring up heaps of explanation of what the setting is for (and also info saying its only a build time property)
So in summary, I have set the following build.prop
Code:
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=5
And my WiFi has been solid for the past 3 hrs (normally in sleep except for being woken every 10 minutes to check its still ok ). Let me know if it works for you.

Will try this next weekend (I don't have WiFi right now). I hope it works lol.
EDIT: It didn't. :crying:
