You bought the best tablet offered by Huawei at this moment.
Congrats on your new purchase.
You are in the right place. Ask anything, Share anything you like.
Many nice people on this site.
Whenever you have any issue with your tablet, please mention the full firmware version, tablet model. It will be easy for others to help you and answer your questions.
I have BTV-DL09 (LTE version , European ROM). My firmware is BTV-DL09C100B301. I just posted this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72048190&postcount=8 in another thread. You can have a look at the screenshots of Android nougat on my tablet.
Enjoy & you will have more fun when you update to Nougat.(whenever you are ready)
Stock ROM is very stable on this tablet.

Thanks
Day 2 with the mediapad 3 and I am still having fun.
I am not sure what you mean by "full firmware version". I have Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) + Huawei Emotion UI 4.1. Is that what you mean? What benefit is there in updating to Nougat. I am a person who gets set in his way. I fought windows 10 as long as I could.

When I said full firmware version, I meant this -> BTV-DL09C100B301 (my firmware version)
BTV-DL09 is LTE version (supports sim) , BTV-W09 (WIFI only version) So full firmware version prevents ambiguity and unnecessary problems. The reason I told you is because there is BTV-DL09C233BXX and there is one more version which I don't remember at this moment. Each one is different because it specifies region. So if you have C100BXX and if you flash C233BXX on top of that. Then it might cause problems. So when you provide full firmware version, it makes it easier for others to help. Besides C233 has rooted version firmware available. So to know if you are one of those lucky people too you need to give full firmware version. To find full firmware version you check in Settings -> About .
Benefits of Nougat? It is beautiful, faster, smoother, even better battery life. I have posted screenshots of my tablet running nougat, that can give you a better idea. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72048190&postcount=8 By the way Windows 10 v1703 Creators update is really good! Fast boot speed, games are smooth, performance is really good. Edge is really good too. Cortana is soothing & enjoyable as always. I like it and totally recommend everyone who haven't used it. Both Nougat on Huawei Mediapad M3 & Windows 10 creators update too.
Hope you find this information useful.
Lot of effort goes in to typing my posts. Please don't forget to click on :good::good::good::good::good:::good::good::good::good: in my posts.

Thanks again
When I checked settings I find "Build number BTV-W09C128B003 " Is that also the "firmware version"?
How do I upgrade to Nougat? Seriously, could I run into problems doing this? With windows especially I kept hearing people complain of problems with upgrades. Things seem to be running well now and this is already the fastest tablet I have ever had by far!!!!! By the way I have Windows 10 now because older computer died and I had to get a new one with 10. Kind of like it.

What ROM do you recommend for Huawei P8 Lite ALE-L21 ?

I want to replace the ROM on my Huawei P8 Lite ALE-L21.
Currently installed: Android 5.0.1 ALE-L211C432B190.
Please help me choose a ROM that would be best for this phone (in your opinion), considering:
- Android version newer than 5.0.1
- Supports Dual Sim
- rooted
- Stable (i need a ROM that is not experimental, but suitable for day to day use, something reliable)
- Has no bugs with hardware/software (eg. sensors, or other features)
- doesn't slow the phone significantly
I am aware this type of question often annoys people (as anyone may consider a different ROM as "best"), but if you can leave your personal feelings aside and give your best 2 cents in answering my request would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I use AOSPA by surdu, this rom have a better battery life than the original emui and it just works fine, I had RROS in the past but AOSPA is more stable

Thanks @BananeMan1
I've got into some trouble with my phone (bootloader became locked after installing the updates to get EMUI 4.1)
I posed the issue here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/help/p8lite-ale-l21-unlock-bootloader-t3779631

I have some problems with AOSPA:
- Can't access Phone or SIM contacts, only gmail contacts
- Any imported contacts (VCF) went to gmail account and there is no way to save them in Phone or SIM.
- as is not EMUI, HiSuite doesn't work.
While I'm sure it would be fun to try all ROMs made here, for sure I lack the necessary time, therefore I would like to know which ROM is EMUI and works with HiSuite (if any).

This is Lineage OS 13 for p8 lite. It is unofficial, but it is stable. I currently don't know whether that supports saving contacts to the sim card. But you better have a look at the thread.
There is also an Oreo ROM, which is unstable at the moment and doesn't recommend that.
There is also the Lineage OS 14 for p8 lite 2017.
Yours is 2015 so it won't support neither yours or mine.

Oreo Camera app request

Hi guys
I'm on Nougat and I have no plans of upgrading to Oreo via rebranding. But to those of you running Oreo, what version of the Camera app are you running? Mine is 4.1.1.
If you're running any newer versions, please provide me with the APK.
Thanks in advance

The App Version is 8.0.0. Unfortunally for you, you can't just use a camera version that is based on a whole different OS version, that maybe looks the same but is build a with a whole new way. The API that the app uses isn't made for nougat. If you wan't it that badly, just rebrand it, no harm done. Well, in short, we cannot provide you with the oreo apk that will work on nougat, that just doesn't exist.

Thanks for the reply.
I was actually able to update some of the stock apps from a Huawei Y5 Prime 2018 (With Oreo) to my Nougat-based P9. Not all apps were compatible, though. So I wanted to try updating the camera app.
And no, I don't want it that bad. It's just for the sake of trying

Hi,
Is this still based on android 7.0 or is it finally based on some newer version?
Is there a change log about the improvements?
Is there a chance to get update on global version? Or we should forget having global ROM.
Thanks

From side of meizu, android version will not be updated, but flyme 8 will contain all the features of latest android version. Only phones released this year will get android upgrades. So our phone still lives in 7.Yes upgrades to global might be late. It is dead before, but now may be updates might come after 7.3 A stable released. Change to A version if you can.Hope u understand it.

Android 9- ROMs.

Hello, I searched for ROMs running Android 8.1 and lower but couldn't find any. I want WPS connect feature but as Google has removed it in Pie. Will there be any Android 9- ROM?

You couldn't find any, because the RN7 came with Android 9.
Every ROM for the RN7 is based on 9.0 so I don't know why you're asking that question

Yes I know RN 7 was released with Android 9 but I'm asking is there any way to downgrade to lower Android versions.

No, there are no -9 Roms for Lavender.
And i don't think that we will ever get one, as developers focus on Q right now.
Maybe you should try a slightly older phone, like Mi 8 lite, which came with Oreo.

Yes - if you built those lower Android version ROMs yourself. I assume that you will not attempt to do this (because neither will anyone else). So, as long as you want to use lavender, you are stuck.
