Hey all.
Running Omega 9. Removed all bloat ware during installation now this all share cast dongle s /w update has appeared as of yesterday. Any idea what it is & how to remove?
It's shows in play store as installed but can't find in phone anywhere.
If u select it does it have the option to uninstall it?

No option to remove which is weird. I've had Omega 9 since release and this hasn't been there, now all of a sudden it is. As far as I know, it can't update unless I have all share cast app installed. So for now it's just there.
Looked in root, but it's not there.
Weird very weird

Solved!
Removed FWUpgrade.apk from root & now it's gone from play store too.
Uninstalled Allshare cast dongle s/w update
I replied as a guest before joining xda. Don't see that reply, so will reply again. I don't recall downloading this sharing app because I don't have the device (dongle) installed on my TV. Therefore, it's a useless app for me.
I just went to task manager, downloads and it popped up with other d/l apps. Had option to uninstall, so I tapped it and app was uninstalled.
Not savvy enough to check further (like root, or whatever; don't really know what root is). Will assume I fixed it unless it pops back up.
Using Samsung Galaxy S4.

Hello. I just got my m8 today. I did UL bootloader and rooted the chinese version 156 which came with OTA. The only problem I get is that i cannot sync google contacts. Everything else is working great. Is there any way or do I need to flash the international firmware?
PS If I need to update to a newer version (I saw 165 came out but i didn't get it today) is there a way to flash a newer rom without losing all data through TWRP?
PS2 One other problem i encountered: I tried to install sygic navigator from play store but it forcecloses the entire google play!!! This happens only at this app...
u wont get any ota updates on a modified system @unlocked bootloader & root, so ull have to flash manually every time or revert back to full stock.
concerning google apps and services, ull need to manually add those to the chinese rom (check the B156 rooted thread, the necessary apk files are attached to the OP)
as for flashing updates, it is indeed possible to "dirty flash" a rom over an existent one, but be prepared for potential hiccups / issues / functional resets in that case. best thing is to always to a proper clean flash with your data backed up on a different location (i.e. laptop).
the play store FC is probably due to the app size. check permissions of google play store app and activate permission for storage, that should solve the FC...

Thanx for your reply. I see... As far as the google contacts sync is concerned, I tried creating a GoogleContactsSyncAdapter folder in the system/app folder and copying the apk in there but after the reboot still no sync... Am I doing something wrong? (I did a workaround here as well, i restored the contacts from a csv file but now i don't get cloud backup)
When flashing future updates do we use the TWRP in order to flash the stock roms? I haven't tried that's why I ask. I usually do a full wipe when I flash updates. About the play store i gave it full access, but before that i did a workaround and backed up the prog from another device and restored it to mate8... I will probably see on the next update of the app.

I got it to work... I am not sure what was the reason... I uninstalled it completely and then installed the latest app I saw online and gave permissions and rebooted and the apps are there Thank you all.
The problems fixed. Can someone please answer to the first q about how to flash latest versions since I am rooted-twrp? Are the versions I find in the android development flashable by TWRP? I mean the untouched versions not the custom roms. I am happy with the performance of the stock rom.
some are flashable via twrp, others through the stock huawei erecovery, others again are flashable via fastboot. gotta check the package contents and file types...

Guys how often does contacts sync takes place? I put a contact yesterday at about 18:00 and it doesn't show up at the gmail contacts. Probably due to the fact that if I go to google account it says it synced last yesterday at about 17:15. I know that I can force sync it but I don't want to have to do that every time I add a contact.
I also have the AL10 and I didn't unlock and rooted my phone and didn't receive the B165 rom yet either. My latest rom is still B156.

There is a thread in the forum with the exact procedure. http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-root-install-t3301371
Hello everybody.
I recently purchased a Chinese Mate 8.
While the Play Store and Google Services were up and running when I received it, contacts where not syncing.
I download GoogleContactsAppSync and solved that BUT I can't sort them by surname, how am I supposed to do that?
Please help, I can't get my head around that!
Thank you
Same here with Sygic. My phone is a chinese one, model NXT-AL10, no root, bootloader locked.
When Sygic is loaded, playstore is force-closed. Sygic can be loaded via Amazon appstore but the "restore"-function does not work.
Moreover, OsmAnd+ navigation does not work properly. It can be opened but no map is shown.
Anyone uses Sygic and OsmAnd+ with Huawei Mate 8 chinese successfully? Should we contact Huawei?

Go to google play at apps and give all the permissions. I think when I had chinese rom that fixed it...

There is only one app in the google play store that I cannot install. the playstore FC. Granted full permission too. Hmm...
Edit: fixed by granting permission to storage for the Playstore. :S

You can try package disabler pro. If that don't work then you SOL unless you root.

Yes I tried it but I don't know which app or script has to be disabled.
Update: Using Package Disabler Pro freezes various apps then the next 48 hours I dont recieve any notifications to software updates. In reality, I still dont know which one of the apps prevents the update. The freeze apps are:
AT&T Remote Support
Backup and Restore Manager
ConfigUpdater
DiagMonAgent
Nearby Service
In addition to others such as Direct TV and bloatwares from AT&T that have nothing to do with the software update.
Hi guys,
I installed root but I am not able to uninstall some apps.
Anyone has the same problem?
Thank you for reply

The only app I could not uninstall with root was the Huawei mobile services app. Were the apps updated? When you have gone to uninstall an app if it has been updated it will sometimes just restore the app to the stock version rather than remove it so maybe try the uninstall again?

I fixed it by changing an app. It works finally.
Good morning everyone. I need a working app disabler, since ez, pdp and bk are not anymore on the play store.
You can search apk mirror for apps you want. Are you rooted or not? There is an app called root package disabler that has a non root option. If you are rooted, titanium backup is always reliable.

Thanks for the answer. I will try root package disabler then, to be honest I prefer to stay on a non rooted firmware. I will update the thread.

How about Package Disabler in playstore? Have you try it?
