Many of you know exactly what "oversharpening" is... for those who not, just google "g3 oversharpening" or check this article.
After hours spent trying almost everything i finally managed to remove that. Check in the 2nd thread to see the difference.
Here you go... just flash the kernel in recovery but remember to make a backup of the boot partition before, just in case it will not works.
Remember... the only weird thing is that you have to turn off the screen and then on again to make it works. Just the 1st time after the boot.

tnx to @Tectas for the kernel source
I'll be giving this a run later. Want to elaborate on exactly what the issue was and the fix ?

I have down loaded and applied seems to work fine will run some more testing later... It does cause the phone to "hang" at the LG Splash screen for a few moments longer then normal. Just a heads up for other people that flash this.
:good:
I posted in the original G3 Development thread but also posting here to say, yes it does work. I was one who noticed and didn't like the effect. May be unnecessary for some but those who had complained about the sharpening will definitely appreciate this.

Check the commit on my source... If you cant understand i will explain better i can
YES!!! Thank you!!!
I applied this patch using another method. I grabbed my current boot.img, opened with a hex editor and replaced 16 occurrences of 39010000000004F2010040 with 39010000000004F2010000. Wrote the image back, rebooted and... Ahhh, no more halo, no more ghosts, no more fuzziness. Nothing but crystal clear text!

Can anyone verify this? Will this method work on the cm12 kernel?
I'm not sure I see a difference .. My eyes are probably just used to the display.

Can I use this on the cm12 rom? The sharpening really kills the device for me.
Shigga pls read the title of the thread

This definitely has gotten rid of the over-sharpening so excellent job in that respect. I've had two random hot boots so far since I flashed this and also noticed that the phone hangs at the LG boot screen for about 30 seconds before the LED starts cycling through the colors and the AT&T splash screen comes up after shutting off the phone. Any ideas on either?

Downgrading from the ota update to test this! I'll love the phone if this does indeed work.
And it works +1. I love you main.
Donation will be coming. You just made this nearly the perfect phone for me.
Waiting for cm12 support. Hopefully soon

I wonder if the last OTA fixed this. I honestly haven't noticed anything like the article showed.

I didn't notice it at all until a couple if weeks ago when I was reading a text document with Firefox. I just thought it was a Firefox issue,I was wrong!

pulling up websites with a black text/white background and hitting the url bar was the easiest way to reproduce for me. This forced the background to go grey and every letter on the page would show the white halos from the oversharpening.
Since the update my cameras shoot button has moved from the edge screen (one of my favourite features).
Can this be changed in settings or does anyone know where I can get the original camera apk?
Thanks in advance, David
Does the update fix the blurry start up?

You need to go back to Kitkat if you want that feature....
That does suck. :crying:That was the whole point of having the edge so you can move everything off the screen. Hopefully it is a setting somewhere or a change that can be made.

Hasn't been found yet and I know that it was a feature that was wanted by a lot of people.
I welcome the change.. Was not very natural feeling on the edge when taking landscape photos. But having the option to change between the two choices would please more people.
am curious.. did the same happen to everyone who updated their edge to the 5.0.1 version?

It made my note edge a note 4 with a smaller battery. This is what Samsung gives people that spend another $100 for their test product.
I went today looking for my daily dose of disappointment looking for the update or any news of it, only to come across this.
http://www.carbontesla.com/2016/06/huawei-p8-max-dav-701l-b203-marshmallow-update-asia-pacific/
Super hyped, i am only wondering can i flash this on a European DAV-701L?
It mentions somethins for a CUSTC which is not the same as mine but it IS a DAV-701L.
Your thoughts on this?
Nice, mine is CUSTC100D002. Don't know if it will work, not want to brick my phone
Just like mine, it is also CUSTC100D002. I am on the verge of flashing but i am having second thoughts...

Good find. Thanks for the news. It is definitely the genuine Firmware update for the P8Max and the link provided is directly from an official Huawei server. I downloaded it just for the sake of it as my CUSTC number is for Middle East and noticed it also has an OTA update section in a separate folder. However, when updating it stated incompatible firmware and aborted the process-no harm done to the device or existing settings. I wish someone could find a way to change the default CUSTC numbers so that we could mess around with it.
I would say if anyone is looking for the version for their own phones then simply go to the Huawei support section on their website and just keep an eye on the downloads section to see if your version pops up.
So it looks that we are finally beginning to see the Android M coming our way but it sure is a slow and painful journey.
I have it installed. Everything works perfect.

I am in Romania, Europe. My phone is a Huawei P8 Max DAV-701 and the CUST was very different that that in the update. Everything works perfect. I have double tap you wake function and other new functions.

Hi! Could you kindly explain how you managed to install this update on your P8 Max. My one is the Middle East [Kuwait] version of the firmware. Also does anyone know what to do with the flashable OTA update folder in the separate folder found inside the download pack?
Well, after reading the friend from Romania succeeded, i tried it myself with my CUSTC100D002 and it sailed through the installation... No problems, just rebooted, doing a check and will get back...
I did exactly like in the tutorial that you will find at the link post above, were you find the rom.
Huawei browser is missing, Huawei Swype keyboard is missing, launcher seems to have only 4x4 and 4x5 settings (pretty sure the original 5.1.1 had a 5x5 also.)....
Quite disappointed so far...
I've had with those a-holes. One step forward, 10 steps back. Going to ask for a refund on this POS. No respect towards the buyer/user whatsoever.
I like the update, don't use the Huawei apps. I love the EMUI 4.0 themes, use Dark Ui theme now

Literally 2-3 posts above
Things are missing, huawei keyboard (which was actually nice), Huawei browser, the 5x5 which is quite important as the 4x5 feels like half the screen is unused.
They really pulled their eyes out with their own hands.
If i don't find a way to go back to 5.1.1 i'm going for a refund.
well mine didnt work. Followed the direction got to the update screen says it cant find the up date. Yes i moved the file to external sd. Is there anything im missing ?!!!!!

You have a European cust correct? Do you know if it matters for us with the EU model if the image linked here is for other countries? Any issues with something? Other than those missing Huawei apps someone else mentioned.

No problems here for now, i can still select 5x5 layout. Love the empty tray button to remove all active apps, no more slide. Also nice is smart screenshot, double tap to unlock and draw gesture when you write C on the screen, it will open the camera app.

Yeah wifi works. I didnt test bluetooth, will do tomorrow.
Just got a new update and the one thing I noticed so far is that they changed the font for the weather widget. It looks weird to me now and I wish I could change it back.
I love how after after new software upgrade, my phone feels fast again and screen on time recovers. But after another week on this rom, it will probably feel laggy and have poor battery life.
I got this today. It was a pretty big update. Don't know what it included, but it seems it was more than just the December security update. So far I haven't noticed anything obviously different, nor any issues.

Is there a way so these can overlap or stack a little? It is pretty stupid to have it only show one a page and have to cycle through them all to get to the other side. I've seen Samsungs that stack a lot better and it actually works. I don't really mind they are horizontal now but why don't they stack at all?
On a side note, is there any way to get my clock back on the left and maybe the data rate on the left on the status bar?
Never looked into that but it would be nice. I remember they used to be like that, or I had them like that somehow years ago at least.
Also, the clock is on the left, so I assume you meant right. I know it's possible with root and xposed. Might be possible only root. Not sure if you can do it without root.
Same with data rate, I know you can do it with root and xposed but not sure without.

Yeah I did get Gravity box working and the status bar fixed, still looking for a way to change the recents menu but I'm losing hope heh
If you do find a way, I'd love to know. I definitely wouldn't mind a recents menu like that again.
Also, never really looked at the GB settings for data rate but I'm glad I did to see if it worked. Got it so it shows me the rate only when my download is in the status bar.
Honestly haven't used GB since lollipop and KitKat days. 7pro first phone to have it in a long time for me.

I found something called Xposed Edge Pro and it has a running apps menu that you can set to replace your recents button
Also, HavocOS has its own slim recents that looks awesome just trying to figure out if I can flash the rom without losing everything

Tried xposed edge again and actually looked at it more. I'm in love. Paired with A10 gestures I can use the sides for entire navigation. Used pie before but this is so much better. Set a power menu one too. Don't actually mind the opened apps thing either.

I am now in love with Omnirom and Omniswitch, the vertical one is perfect and still slides and has screenshots, you can also add custom buttons and make it transparent or wte colors you want. There is also a horizontal version that is a lot more condensed without screenshots. See the pics attached. Fair warning though, on android 10 with these new roms you will lose your face unlock if you still have it.
