Here is a stock rooted B106 ROM with the Google Play Store and Contacts Sync preinstalled. This is great for those of you who have a hard time getting the Google Apps to work. Flash this in TWRP. Thanks to the HRT Team for their hard work. Their thread is located here: http://cn.club.vmall.com/thread-5911144-1-1.html
Features & Mods:
Removed unstall_apk.xml files from the cust folder
Removed mms_config.xml files from the cust folder
Added in the Google Play Store & Google Contacts Sync Adapter
SuperSU is installed by default
The ROM is also slightly debloated. Some of the Huawei bloat was removed

Steps to flash. Follow these instructions or the ROM flash will fail:
1) Boot into TWRP
2) Do a factory reset
3) Reboot recovery
4) Mount System, Cache, Data, cust, splash2 and newsys
5) Flash the ROM
6) Reboot System
7) Profit!
This should work regardless of what build you are currently on (B106, B107, B108, B109)

Hi
Before doing the above must the 703L be already on stock B106 ROM or can flash this directly from B015 ?

It should work if you are on b015. Make sure you do a backup in TWRP first. The ROM flashes the boot, system and cust.

I unchecked all these, as well. Also, I had the message "error retrieving information from server rpc s-7 aec-7" when attempting to install anything from the Google Play store. In case anyone else runs into this, I followed the directions from this site:

After the reboot, I had to log back into my Google account through the Play Store. I wasn't able to add the account under Settings->Accounts->Google.
Otherwise, so far so good. Thanks for the ROM!

When I tested the ROM before I posted it I didn't have that problem. I'll install it again a few times to see if I can recreate that problem. Did you do a wipe before you flashed or did you flash it over an already installed ROM?

None of the X2 ROM's I have ever run was I able to add a Google account through Accounts. For some reason it just doesn't show up even after I added GoogleAccountManager.apk. To add a second account go to settings, backup and reset, hit Backup account and hit Add account.

I managed to get the b015 stock ROM working on my 702L but this is as far as it gets.
I flashed the 5.1.1. twrp_cn but it couldn't reboot into recovery and instead it went on a boot loop.
I then flashed 5.1 twrp_cn (previous version before Android 5.1.1) and managed to get into custom recovery from b015 on my 702L. Using this twrp I then flashed this custom B106 rom and it inidcated success.
However after reboot it simply went into boot loop. Not sure is it because my device is still 702L though I managed to get b015 703L stock rom on my 702L. Neither could I flash into stock B106.

Did you wipe before you flashed or did you dirty flash over your existing ROM? You may have to wait until the 702L gets Android 5.1.1 then try flashing the 703L ROM after that.

I did the factory reset, per the instructions. I didn't wipe anything beyond that.
After a few days, everything has continued to be great. It's probably just my imagination, but I feel this ROM is running much faster and smoother than the KangVIP ROM I was using previously. Of course, that ROM was based on B108, so that might have been the issue, too.

Yeah it's a bit smoother than KangVIP for me too. It's a lot more debloated than KangVIP so that's why it's faster. I installed it a few times and the Play Store worked for me the first time on each reload. I'm hoping to get a b109 version so I can mod it as well.
I have had a few minor issues pop up over the last few days, and I was wondering if anyone else has had similar issues or solutions.
1. I listen to audiobooks via the Overdrive app during my commute and trudge from the parking lot to work. In the past, when I've shut off the bluetooth connection, the audio has stopped. I have to do this when switching between my headset and the car stereo and vise versa. Lately, I've noticed when I shut off the devices, my audio pauses for a second or so, then starts playing over the phone speaker. Since it's both devices, I don't believe it's an issue with the devices. Oddly enough, autoplay starts up just fine when I connect to a device, but auto-pause (auto-stop?) doesn't.
2. The other issue is alarms. I'm using Google clock, mostly so I can easily move my alarms between phones. In the past, when I've re-imaged my phone and restored the Clock app and data via TB, I've had to go in and toggle the alarms off and on to get them to work the first time. After that, they worked fine after every reboot. Lately, I've noticed when I reboot, none of my alarms work. They don't show as pending in the notification bar, on either the left or right side. Once I go in and toggle them on and off, they work fine again until the next reboot. The problem is that I run a Llama task around 3:00 AM every morning to reboot the phone (Auto Reboot stopped working for me). So, every morning I have to go in and toggle them again. Once I do, any pending alarms show up on the left side of the notification center, and I get notification that I have alarms set on the right side as well. I have the Huawei clock app frozen via TB, but unfreezing it didn't stop the issue. I guess I can stop rebooting every day, but I'd prefer not to. As for the setup, I've double checked, and Clock is added to both Protected Apps and Startup Apps. I even tried setting the clock app to open on reboot via Llama, and while it opened up, the alarms still didn't work until I toggled them.
Thanks in advance for any help.

As a quick follow up, the Bluetooth appears to be an app-specific issue. I was just trying it with some other apps while I had the phone connected to a Bluetooth speaker at home. The other apps paused just fine. I finally found audio player settings (not in the General settings, but only when the audio player is being used) in the Overdrive app. It had a toggle to turn the feature on and off. I toggled it, and it seems to be working now.

Is there any word on b105 or greater on the 702?
To follow up on the alarm issue I was having above, I uninstalled the Google clock app, reinstalled it from the Play store, and the restored the data only from TB. After a couple if test reboots (full and hot), it appears to be sticking. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
And just to say it one more time, this ROM is still working great for me.

I don't have a 702L to fool around with or I'd try doing it myself.
I've been playing around with and reading a lot of what it takes to make ROM'S. I made a stock B109 TWRP flashable Debloated ROM with Gapps included. I'm testing it out now and will post it as soon as everything is working correctly. The only thing not working at the moment is the SIM card switching.

Great !
I was wondering whether the clue to the SIM card switching could lie on certain prop files ? I can't recall exactly the full file name but I even saw "Dual SIM Settings" being associated with "dsdsxxxx" file ?
I asked because if you recall in my other post few days back I managed to do OTA upgrade from stock B106 to B109 on my 702L so I'd think the radio baseband kernell would have been flashed properly albeit on a different hardware.
And the fact that my 702 continues to work fine in dual SIM mode......

Hi there,
I have a UK WiFI xoom, and everything was working fine. I installed the ICS AOSP rom, and no issues.
The problem started when I updated the AOSP ICS rom, and the gapps, Now I DONT HAVE MARKET access. The loading circle just goes round and round till it says 'connection timed out - retry'. The GTALK doesnt connect either, it just says 'signing in' till it goes 'offline'.
Right now, I am on the EOS Wifi ICS rom.
Here's what I HAVE done so far to fix it based on ideas in this forum and others (trust me, I search before I post:
- Factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik before every rom install
- Installed every single ICS rom there is, with the recommended google apps
- wiped data on the google services framework
- Installed different version of gapps
- Shut down the firewall on the HOME NETWORK.
It just doesnt work anymore. It used to connect fine to the home Wifi earlier but something just went wrong somewhere and i cant track it down.
Any help would be appreciated.
you have any more info like does your xoom show you are connected to your wifi? do you have any other wireless devices and are they accessing the internet fine? are you flashing the right gapps package?
yea, Wifi is connected fine. Alternate markets like 'slideme', and browser, gmail, maps app etc work fine without problems.
I have flashed the latest gapps package as recommended by EOS rom makers (v. 10 i believe)
after installing the eos mod, did u restart before installing the gaps?
load a stock backup then reinstall your current flavor and gapps

First, take a deep breath. It's probably something small that's causing the problem, no doubt.
Some of the EOS Nightly are more stable than others. I would recommend wingray nightly build #56 (very smooth and stable) with the 10.4 GAPPS flashed immediately afterward. First wipe cache partitions, then dalvik cache (in advanced) then flash the rom and the GAPPS, then reboot. This should work very well for you. If you feel the need to do another data wipe, do that before anything else.
IMHO, no need to flash stock images 1st. Just flash on top of your current rom.
Good luck!
ok- will try and respond with results. thanks for the patience/

Hi - I did the steps exactly as you said (with a full data wipe). Still getting nowhere?
Any more ideas?
Go back to stock US recovery ROM. Start again.
Also no idea how to fix it (as nothing previously worked), but the symptoms seem similar to when you haven't accepted the agreement that pops up on new google framework (?) version. Won't let you use market or gtalk.. has happened to me before.
Before flashing, try an extra wipe: wipe system (in some recoveries also called "format system" ). I have been saved by this more than once.

I always wipe dalvick and cache partition. Install ROM from SD card, followed by latest Gapps and then use the fix permissions in advanced settings before rebooting. I have never had a single problem and have been using EOS Wingray nightly since release 11. I am sure the fix permissions is the key to this. No need to do a full wipe if you are on the same ROM!

You can only go back to 3.0 or whatever it is. t will update to 3.2, and then hopefully ICS.

Have you tried accessing the market through the browser? You will need to sign in...that may reestablish your link. I can't see why you need to go back to stock Honeycomb. It gets complicated getting cwm recovery back on (to stick).
I had a similar issue on my DHD. It turned out that your language needs to be US English.

I installed the CM7 port and the GApps, but my Google apps don't show up. I've tried reflashing the ROM and the GApps package over and over and clearing all the caches to no avail. Help?
you have to flash GAPPS separately. refer original post of CM7 thread and you will find the link
That's what I did. I flashed the ROM then I flashed the GApps, but they're still not showing up.
Ok that's weird. Can you pinpoint the exact steps you performed from download to copying to erasing to booting up? Each and every step please.
Sure thing.
I downloaded the ROM and the GApps package from the ROM's thread and stored the files on my desktop. While the downloads were going, I booted my phone into recovery and mounted the USB storage. I then plugged the phone into my computer and copied the files over before ejecting the USB device and unplugging the phone. I then wiped the user data, the cache, and the Dalvik cache and flashed the ROM, then, straight after, the GApps. I wiped the user data again just to be safe then rebooted back into the OS.
After it didn't work the first time, I downloaded the GApps again and copied them to my phone again, this time within the OS instead of the recovery. Rebooted, wiped user data, cache, and Dalvik cache, flashed the GApps, and nothing.
Not being sure if it was the ROM or the GApps package, I flashed the MIUI beta then flashed the GApps (using the same sequence of steps mentioned above) and it still didn't work, so it doesn't seem to be specific to CM7.
Ok try these steps:
1. Download the ROM
2. Download GApps from here: http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
3. Wipe the big 3's (user data, cache and dalvik-cache).
4. Flash the ROM.
5. Flash Gapps.
6. Boot without erasing anything.
I followed your instructions exactly but I still have the same problem.
Interestingly, if I go into the list of installed applications in the settings, Market (but no other Google apps) shows up but it's greyed out and I don't have any options to run it or anything.

Crap. Something's really not right. Can you give it a try with the SuperOSR ROM? Need to see if it's specific to the CM build.
EDIT: Can you try searching for the Market .apk file around the forum and install it manually? It should be somewhere in Themes&Apps section. Give that a try before trying with the SuperOSR ROM. Wipe, re-flash ROM, flash Market.apk, reboot.
Reason: the gapps provided by CM team are old (v2 market) and it might be that Google does not support v2 anymore since they've switched to Play Store. (not sure).
I did try with the MIUI ROM and the same thing happened, I don't think it's specific to your ROM build. Perhaps my phone just doesn't like Cyanogen's GApps package? No idea why that would be though.
Anyway, I did as you suggested and installed an APK and it worked! I found this one on Redmond Pie and put in the SD and installed it with the file browser on the phone. Seems to work fine so far

While you're here, a bug I've noticed that's only popped up on your ROM is that, when I turn the phone off, sometimes the orange light stays on and the phone's completely frozen up until I pull the battery. It's only happened twice but I thought it might be something to look into.
Other than that, it's very good! I'm enjoying it, keep up the good work

It's a CWM based problem. Update your CWM recovery to the latest one from the CWM thread in the Dev section and you are good to go.
Way too many CWM's in two sentences..
I'll do that now, cheers
Glad to know you are up and running, but it's still quite strange. Every time I flashed CM7.2 (it it was quite a lot of times GApps were there, Market included. Just running the Market app would actualize it to Play Store automagically.
Of course, as Alex says, it may not be supported by Google anymore, but still you should have gmail, etc from the zip file even without a working Play Store...
The issue was probably related to CWM, if you have an old enough version it could be messing up with the zip internals, but sometimes it's just anything else... (I installed the first CM9 alpha rom w/o problem, the second one wouldn't install, one week later, doing exactly the same with the same zip file, it installed flawlessly)
It may also be related to the specific terminal, I have noticed that depending on the device type (country of release, free or network operator locked, and so on) terminals behave a little bit different in some aspects (e.g. my GPS stopped working after unlocking the bootloader and was only fixed when I reflashed the radio firmware after getting S-OFF; and now, with the CM9 alpha, my keyboard won't get backlight while it's dark outside but adxl's is working fine, which is bad for debugging purposes, of course )
If you could make a backup and install SuperOSR and see if everything works fine the first time (even if you go back to CM afterwards, as I did) it may help to understand the issue better... Or maybe just posting your phone's specific data (model, build, country, etc) may give us a hint.
We know that free UK terminals are somewhat different to Spain free terminals, and those are a bit different from Orange or Yoigo locked terminals... It may be related to hardware batches out fro the factory, who knows?
Enjoy your ChaChaCha!
I think the problem was my CWM in the end. After I upgraded it (that alone included some trial and error, eventually the fastboot method worked) the GApps zips worked fine.
So if anyone else has this problem, check your CWM version and upgrade it if you need to
Can i Upgrade CWM without any change of my current OS ?
i actually couldnt go to Market after i flashed GServices. I downloaded newest Google Play in HTC Chacha apps, installed it and it work until now (of course wit GService flashed before).
Btw, how can i check my current CWM. Thanks!

Hello there!
I've came by to add my issue, similar to yours.
I was on CM7 too and wanted to try the SuperOSR ROM. I used the common steps for flash it (all cache Wiping and factory reseting, ROM installing, Gapps installing), rebooting my phone, connect it with a Google account, launched Gmail and then when I've arrived at a certain level of my mails, the app crash...
For the Google Play app, I've got a server connexion error...
It's like if all the Google's framework was here but totally not stable...
I've tried with an another ROM, the MUI ROM and everything works...
Like I said, I came from the CM7 ROM wich was working...

Hi, I registered in this forum just to say THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was searching for that appropriate GApps for the CM7 I installed previously with the GApps for Ginger Bread (not the same with this link you posted) and it gave me a headache too. I tried flashing for 3x & the Gapps were not working. Then I tried this link and VOILA! Now my smile is from ear to ear.. so SALAMAT! (Tagalog word for THANK YOU). I'm from Philippines anyway. I bookmarked this page for future reference. A million thanks to XDA Developers and it's helpful members & thanks for welcoming me even I'm a noob.. :laugh::laugh:
News :
Starting today, i'll just upload the firmware if it has a change in it.
So you know there's no need to update the firmware if there's no change in it, save the hassle.
Tips :
* I've added checksum file for each firmware-only files in google drive, so you guys can see what's changed on every firmware-only release.
* If you experience sim card not detected after flashing firmware, don't worry, it's normal. do this, plug out and plug in your sim card tray, and restart your device.

yep i believe the Miui10 is in Alpha and currently being tested by a closed group of users. we should see public Beta releases towards the end of June.
Im just curious if there is any difference in battery consumption to previous version of MIUI.
I've tried it a couple of days ago. There are some visual changes like new notifications panel UI, recents UI, In-call UI etc. A bit more IOS-ish as some say.
First of all, if you consider flashing it;
- You need the Raupe/Blunden twrp to flash it, other recoveries end up with error 7.
- After flashing this build; twrp will ask for a decrypt password and no password will be correct. So your internal storage won't be mounted on twrp no way to fix it at the moment.
- Magisk 16.4 is able to root it, don't know about previous ones.
- If you consider flashing other roms, you have to do factory reset(format data) to get your internal be able to mount on twrp again.
- It doesn't have google apps as it's China specific, so you need to install google apps manually by Google installer apk or there are zip files for miui 10 ported gapps which give force closes randomly.
- Can be a daily driver since all is working.
- Xposed won't work.
Other than these hick ups, it's good initial build. Fast and smooth, can't tell about battery life since I haven't used it for a long time. There are secondary releases(8.6.5) for some devices so can be around for Mix too. Cheers.

I'm willing to give this a shot, thanks for the input ??
Ok trying it now and everything seems to be working good. A little laggy at the moment so I'm just letting it set in. I was hoping the camera would've gotten updated but same old crappy camera software from previous MIUI firmware. Hopefully when they do release the final version we'll get a updated camera but all in all this is a keeper till we get updated version on here, hopefully...

Ok going through settings and as far as I can tell I don't see face unlock feature. I highly doubt the mix will get seeing as how old it is now, I never use it anyway on other devices so it's not a big deal to me. Everything is running very smooth and fast, I'm liking the Android P style look a lot, more than how it looks on the pixel but that's just me.

You just cancel it and internal storage will be unable to use on twrp. If you flash other things, you need to do it by an OTG.

Oh yes yes, I always use OTG just in case. Thanks for the info.
I installed it, but I keep loosing the recovery, when I reboot it goes to the Miui recovery.
Is there a way to disable the factory recovery overwriting the twrp.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks.

i think you should flash this file in twrp :
https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/
after that the recovery shouldn't get replaced anymore.
That's weird I don't have any issues seeing my storage in TWRP, everything works.

i think he should need to format his Data and Internal Storage.
i can't remember the detail, but i once encountered this too, and i read that something about F2FS not supported or whatsoever.

Dont use noble nougat ! Use ultimate nougat under the unified development . There are 3 different versions either one is okay. Everything works on ultimate nougat but noble lags a good bit.
Each one has a description on what it does and has. All are bebloated + custom tweaks. Check them out. Any touchwiz rom should work. As long as ported to sg g920f.
You have to be on nougat stock firmware. At least thats all ive tried. You can try on 5.1 as long as you follow my guide. Go to this site - https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s6/general/root-nougat-s6-verizon-t3710864 and download the files he has on his post. Thats how you root on nougat.
If you are on nougat, switch to bootloader mode, open odin, and click on ap and select the eng root. Then reboot and go to settings/security and tick unknown sources. Then extract the unroot file you downloaded and run the file that says root.bat and give your phone a few minutes. It will restart and supersu will be installed. If it doesnt work the first time try again
Now you need to download flashfire. And download the custom touchwiz rom you want. Again you can find them under unified developement. And gapps if you want. I use aroma installer to pick what apps i want to be system apps.
Once you are rooted have supersu and flashire, youll need to set you year on the date back to 2013 or flashfire wont open correctly. It does that on my phone atleast you can try it out. When u have flashire open click on the + at the bottom right and click flash zip or ota. Click on the ron youve downloaded and then select the box next to mount system read and write . Then press the + button again and add a wipe action. Just leave it on what it automatically tics. Make sure you hold down on the wipe action before hitting the flash button at the bottom and put it above the rom installation. So youre phone restores first. Do not tick internal storage on the wipe action you will brick your phone bc no sd card.
Flashfire should take you through an aroma installer for the rom depending on the one youve downloaded. Make sure to pick g920f kernel.
Go through chek what you want and then install. As long as you hit the mount system read and write button on the wipe action back in flashfire it will install and not get stuck on %20 or %25. Once its done let it reboot your phone will come to a crash screen. A blue one with a warning sign saying software failure or something. You need to hold the power button volume down and homd button until it cuts off. The do the same thing to turn it on in download mode and flash the eng root file in ap again from odin and your phone will boot. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes to boot.
I installed xposed and all kinds of other tweaks to this rom as well. Let me know how it works out for you . Im going to upload photos in the replies.
Able to flash and open twrp but no function.
Just Google a touchwiz rom ported to galaxy s6 and follow my instructions. I've tried 2 others. Everything seems to be working other than if you are not rooted there is intense lagging from time to time.
I have some questions, is this on 5.1.1 rooted with mrmikes root? Is the rom pre-rooted? Is it debloated? And does it have s health?
this needs a more in-depth description, when i tried it, i flashed it on 5.1.1, i got to the setup of the rom, i chose the international s6, i didnt know which one to choose, then the CSC variant, i chose one of them which had a description like "multi us, it started installing, it got to 25%, then the screen just went black, i opened rootatboot, it succesfully worked, but my phone screen is still black, what are we supposed to do?

Sorry i updated my op check it out ^^
And if you have black screen then boot to odin mode and flash nougat. I know for sure it works on there. And if you follow my steps i suggest using ultimate nougat note fe rom. Its bloatware free and smooth as butter. Has aod edge screen and alot more tweaks.

For me the note fe rom downloads at 700kb/s why? roms usually download at like 7-8 mb/s
Not able to do it, When i flash stock nougat with odin, it gets stuck on the galaxy s6 logo after reboot. Then i factory reset and wiped cache partition, and its still stuck there. So i had no choice but to downgrade to 5.1 again. Now i flashed the pre rooted official nougat rom with flashfire, and once i was on nougat i was gonna flash the custom rom. But, when you try to flash something in flashfire on the pre rooted nougat rom it gives me an error saying an unknown error has occured. Now im back at rooted 5.1. Help anyone?

I'd reccommend video and flashfire, you can make a video of how to do it and make it easier by flashing it in flashfire, so a tutorial on how to flash it on flashfire correctly.
Followed the procedure but flashfire just remains blank on boot... why?

yes... followed everything to the letter. Was having issues with the flashfire but i downloaded the pro apk and it acquired root permission without crashing... I used flashfire .57 pro to flash the pre rooted rom but the flashfire in the pre rooted rom also crashed after aquiring root so I uninstalled it and downloaded the .73 pro apk and that worked but it doesn't flash the rom no matter what options I choose. Tried so many combinations... I put the wipe before the flash and i also tried vice versa, tried with flash procedure set to normal, recovery, download and all still came out with the same outcome = Blank flashfire with 2015-2017 screen. So i just restart the device and everything is normal. Using the pre rooted rom for now

Okay do everythig you did again but before opening flashfire you need to turn off wifi. Go to settings and date and time. Turn off automatic date and time and set year to 2013 then re open and use flashfire. That was my original problem.
I've tried everything to get mobile data and service to work that is the only bug but makes this thread a complete bust until I can find a work around or fix for it.

Hey all,
Over the last few months, I haven't been able to get Google assistant to make phone calls or send text messages. All other functions work.
When I say, 'call my wife', or 'send text message to wife', it tells me that function is unavailable.
It used to work flawlessly.
I have changed nothing to cause it. I just woke up one morning and it didn't work.
So far I have tried:
-Factory reset
-clear cache, etc
-Magisk hide on assistant app, call manager, Google play services and google text to speech
I am on latest stable Oos with latest XxX Rom.
The issue started around 3 months ago.
Where should i be looking to fix this?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Does anyone know of any other forums I can post this question? I can't post in the OnePlus forums yet because of new member restrictions. I'm just trying to get more coverage for my issue so that I can get help solving it.
Do you know what day this happened?

Not sure but that happened to me too but here's what i did
1. Boot into twrp
2. Wipe system, vendor and cache no need to wipe data unless you don't care losing your files DO NOT REBOOT
3. Flash latest oos either 9.0.9 or beta Q is up to you DO NOT REBOOT
4. Flash twrp REBOOT
You'll all set if you need root just flash magisk
Let me know if it worked for you

I did all this on Sunday hoping that it would fix the issue. It hasn't.
Additional info: I have also just discovered that if I open the assistant app and type in 'call.........' or 'message........' , it says there is no app installed to perform that function.

Don't think this will be useful, this is an Assistant issue, reflashing the ROM probably won't help.

Can you check in the settings, under Apps, and Default Apps, if you correctly have a Phone app and an SMS app set as default ? Or maybe the Google App does not have the permissions it needs (Phone Calls and SMS permissions), you could also check that. This is probably a little thing like this, it's 99% sure it's an app or configuration issue.
Both apps are set as default and all apps have all permissions ticked.
I too have the issue and have tried several things with no luck.
I've also been experiencing this. It's been pretty frustrating when trying to use the assistant with android auto.
What ROM are you guys running? I wonder if there is any similarities between our devices.
