Should Huawei Skip Lollipop alltogether and focus instead on Marshmallow ?

So what do you think ?
I think they should not waste any more time in Lollipop.

Its september 1 , they did not release as they told us.We are becoming mate 2 users they are waiting 2 yrs for update.I think mate 7 will stay on kitkat, if we get 5.1.1 that will be last update for sure just my opinion

Right now im on closed beta 5.1.1 B320 ( its for chinese Mate 7 only), its good and stable enough for daily use, i think Huawei will release the final build soon, be patient

Soon??? What about soon?? 1 year...2 year...3 year???? Hihihihihi

B-143 is working v.stable for me.
KitKat to lollipop is a big jump, but tbh I don't really see big hype or changes at the back end to really have much end user impact and tbh sometimes I wonder with all the OEM mutations, how much of optimisations really carry over.
1.IMO the big MM feature is more optimised deep sleep, frankly alot of that is already built into the current build or you could always use greenify.
2. Current build already reports mAH consumption, another feature being cooked in MM.
3. Material skin: download lollipop theme, use nova launcher, use ex dialer, Google keyboard, messenger and you're not that far away.
Hopefully Huawei nexus has the same amazing battery life and hopefully we could steal the fingerprint scanner drivers and hope they work on the one we got. It works amazing right now.

Bingo. I was thinking exactly the same thing this morning on the way to work. We'll have to see how close the Nexus comes to our beloved decives, but I'd love to see a port of the Nexus firmware for the Mate 7.

ever since I did install I have shut up about lollipop I simply do not care any more, Apex gives the speed I did want from day 1.
No more frustrating slow animations that looks like crap..apps open faster with apex for sure...
It felt like an cpu/gpu upgrade for sure..

what a silly question, if they're not bothering with pushing out lollipop, what makes you think they'll even consider pushing out M to the mate7?

Because they did that with mate 2. They skiped kitkat for lolipop

Why would they skip something they are currently (and have already currently) spent money and work hours on aka. Lollipop for another Android version that isn't even officially released? On top of that, the Ascend mate 7 will soon be replaced for a newer Huawei phone.

Set all animation speeds in developer options to 0,5 and the stock launcher will work faster

Dealing with severe lag and Freezes.

Hi everyone
I bought this phone 2 months ago.Its quite beatiful,elegant,fast,with good cameras but im facing a problem ever since i got it.
The first time i noticed it behaving odly was the first time i updated the phone(When i first got the phone).After it finished applying the update it got stuck at 100% on system maintenance..I waited for half an hour until i manually restarted it.After that the phone was okay and i didnt take it very seriously.Ever since then,these last 2 months SOMETIMES (Maybe once every 2 days) the phone gets so LAGGY and it FREEZES up,and i either have to wait a few minutes for it to stop lagging or i have to Reboot it.This happens randomly (So far it has happened while using Google Chrome or some games im playing).But the odd thing is that i've noticed this happening the most whenever i use a game called "The walking dead:road to survival".I've used this app in my previous phone and never had such a problem(I dont quit the game but i do let it run on the background,maybe that might be the cause of something).I've already done a restore to the factory settings and am thinking of returning it since i might have a defective unit or something.Any help would be appreciated.:highfive:

Try the magical thing called the Factory Reset.

Currently im on VNS-L21C432B150,which i believe is the latest one.
Also i've hibernated that game which i was talking about and so far (3days) I havent had a single freeze or lag.Maybe its incopatible or the app could cause this?:silly:

Im dealing with the same problem without playing that game...if I restart the phone it stops lagging for like 2 weeks..but after that it gets laggy again..do anyone knows how to fix it? Should I return it back??

Is any one of you rooted? Because if you mess up with RAM management, it's gonna get laggy buddies!

To be honest, RAM management on EMUI is freaking horrible!
It was the main reason I installed CM as soon as I could.

That's weird...I only get freezes and lag whenever I run that game.

Have you tried other, more demanding games? Maybe it wasn't optimized for Huawei hardware...

It may be your SD card.

That's a possibility because I read some posts that were saying that the game wasn't compatible with Intel CPUs.

I don't use an SD card.

EMUI has a good memory management.
It cares how you USE your phone
1. Do not unlock the bootloader
2. Do not root it
3. Take care of your phone (clean the ram, the memory cache, etc)
4. Update to the lastest version
And that's all

Flash Lineage ROM if you are having problems with RAM management. EMUI does a terrible job there.

Huawei p9 lite lagging and freezing
I have Huawei p9 lite and got some problems.
When I use Instagram a bit while like 5-10minutes it starts lagging and it will freez after 5minutes or something. Also some other apps but always on Instagram every single time i use no matter what I do. I clean the cashe, ram everything even I reboot, factory data reset and install just Instagram and nothing else in my phone and theres go again, lagging and freezing.
Please feel free to comment a solution. Thanks

Why install an S8 rom?

This is a serious question. What is the appeal in s8 roms? I've been thinking of trying one myself. So far I've tried a few stock based roms and lineage (which wasn't very good, honestly) and am currently very happy with the Superstock rom.
What do s8 roms offer over stock s7 ones? Are they as stable, is the camera as good, and are there any negatives? Thanks a lot for any helpful replies. [emoji3]

In my opinion S8 ported roms are way smoother than stock. Its very smooth..
Some S8 ported roms has very bad battery life and some has good and decent battery life..
And also in my several tests i found S8 ported Camera is not good as stock one.
All S8 ported roms are super stable only.

The mains things about s8 ports is to use latest apps and features (infinity wallpaper, new lockscreen and every apps in latest dream UI version with all new s8 icons
But of course bugs cause of the different screen ratio , different hardware and nav bar , etc, so worst battery life etc..
I prefer personally s7 base with s8 apps , like ambasadii v15 + the add on that install so apps and theme the Rom to do style , and get stability performance and battery of s7 base in s8 style
And about aosp I agree. It's very sad , it's usable but compare to other aosp of other Samsung devices it's not the best, it's seems that aosp is way harder in s7 than other devices

go for renovate rom..u will really love it...good feature ...g8 performance and battery life...even camera is good..

Please let me know buddy

Somebody knows about the s8 camera? I explain, it's the same sensor as s7 but Samsung said there is an all new software treatment or I don't know what that increase the camera quality. (I am like many absolutely not sure what it is or if it's really true but anyway) is this "new software treatment" in camera app , that we "get" if we install on our s7 or in the s8 software that we can experience with an s8 rom port? What are you thinking about it guys?

Are you sure that is stock Android on your K8?
There is not any root method at least not here, only for 2016 model, I doubt it will work with 2017, it will probably harm device.
However it can be possible that phone is lagging it's not flagship but it's not weak device my 2016 K8 works very well. Would you mind to explain lag and when it happened?

Its not exactly stock android but the design kind of is. My mom is using the k8 2016 and its way faster than my 2017 version. i figured out the lag issue is because android system itself is taking up 800 mb (this is without me installing anything at all. basically after i formatted i checked and it was 800 mb) and the ram is 1.4 gb so only 400 ish mb remains or 500 which makes it really slow. Also sorry for the really fast reply :3 didn't have an internet connection for a while.

I don't think I understand you or you don't understand something. I have 2016. K8 and system is taking up 2.6 GB and I have 1.5 GB of RAM so not ever will all system will go in RAM it's not even possible. Are you talking about 800 mb of RAM is taken by system? 700 MB is fine for apps except ones who need a large chunk of RAM, but even then Android will push out something out of RAM to make place for that app. Check for OTA updates, i still doubt phone is lagging, I mean it is budget phone but still..

maybe im not able to explain. The phone has been lagging since I took it out of the box. I got the OTA update i did that as well. I formatted a couple of times even. I have used alot of phones till now. Phones with 1 gb RAM tbh is faster than this. I used the k8 2016 and trust me it was faster than that of the new 2017. i hope the screenshots help. Also u can see the notification thing is different.

To be honest I think something isn't right here. Because that is not how LG phone tiles look like, indeed this look like pure Android without UX on top of it, I don't know if LG started shipping phones with pure Android on them or is something else, would you mind go to settings and take screenshot of software info page?
However on these screenshots you provided it's average use in last x hours(to me there shows that chrome use 2.9 GB which is not possible), to see current go to developer options and to "running services.

It is K8 2017, idk why LG decided using stock-ish UI instead UX4.0/5.0 like K10 2017. It has the same (if not better) spect as 2016 version, and I don't know what causes the lag. Either some junk app/screen overlay app/bad software optimization.
From my experience, 2016 version has performance problem with some screen overlay apps like easy touch, bluelight filter, etc. But even on low ram apps still runs quite smooth.

Yeah I see, I did some digging and in YouTube there is two kinds one with UX and one without it, maybe I'm mistaking maybe both are stock I'm not sure how nougat under UX looks like. However they released k8 2017 and mediatek version runs nougat as I can understand (Russian edition and some other countries) and qcom versions runs nougat. LG never fails to amaze me with their actions, I mean seriously?

Any update in this tread? I've bought k8 2017 just a few hours ago. Besides the lag it also have this pop up ads which i cant get rid of even after removing their free apps.

Wait, so you bought brand new phone and it started to show popup ads, you didn't install any apps? I can't believe what some carriers do to the phones. Wait what stock browser? LG browser? I didn't seen it a long time on LG phones the seems to be moved to chrome. If it isn't new than you should flash stock firmware. In which country phone was bought, and what is exact phone model number?

Model number: LG-X240k .I don't think it's the carrier's fault because I bought the phone in an LG store it self. The UI is the same as op. I also notice that Android OS (Android 6.0) takes about 900mb~ of memory without any running apps I have J5 prime with the same os only take about 300-400mb.

Well you are right it's not up to carrier because you didn't bought phone from them so it's not under contract. It seems they have ****ed up heavily.
Don't look on that, that information is not reliable.

My mom got this phone too, just a couple of days. She asked me to install facebook and messenger app. To be estimated, I finished it for almost two hours. Becuase I need to install shareit and play services as well before shareit will work. Damn phone very laggy or may I say very slow. One app took more than 3 to 5 mins to finish. She got LG-X240.

Pretty sure, mine is K350K it lags a lot when scrolling on recent menu/multitask manager/whatever you called it is which is painful. Must be some lazy ass rom developer from my country's model. Hell not even any updates since sep-15 2017 (v10d), which is worse btw coz system root cannot be modified. This phone is officially abandoned I believe.

LOL, I even play DriftSpirits and Dirt Rally with mine while using an app called "Dimmer" (I stopped using Bluelight filter because it had ads) and I do have a lower fps while using it, but its nothing terrible.
About updates, I dont update since I installed its day one firmware and rooted it, so I can't tell if mine's still gets updates or not.
My main problem with my k350z is that I can't write or delete anything on my SDcard since I started using link2sd.
since then, I had to use my PC every time I need to manage my files.

You're using Adoptable storage on it? I thought about using it but I thought link2SD would be easier.
Is there any bugs in doing it? I think it might not be a good idea since my 32gb card is a class 4.
would you help me in doing it? I already know how to do it but it is good to have someone that did it near in case I screw my phone up.

P10 Lite Performance issues

Hey Guys
I really dont know why but my P10 Lite is really struggling with some apps.
Its lagging everywhere even though its supposed to be able to run them smothly.
For example my old broken Nexus 5 is able to run most of the apps better than my P10
Any suggestions ? Maybe there are some settings i need to change
