Welcome to the Huawei U8860 Honor / Honour / Glory - Index!
(please treat this thread as dev-thread, it is part of a dev-forum, not Q&A)
Please don't PM me for support, I will ignore those requests - they are just too many and I'm not getting paid for that, I'm not huawei support. Just ask your questions somewhere in the forum, but in my opinion this thread is really not the place for it, since this is a developer forum and not the Q&A section. That's why xda-developers adds restrictions to post here for new users - to prevent this to be a Q&A-Forum. Please Try to ask your questions in the appropriate Q&A-Section of the xda-developer Forum.
Different versions of the Huawei Honor
There are two feature differences that I am aware of:
Number of Touch-Points: 2 or 5; I have 2 touch-points and with B977 my ProjectMenu just printed "synaptic" as touchscreen version, with B919 it states "synaptics-TPK.6"
Position of Huawei Logo on the back: in the top-left corner (china / russia?) or in the middle like this: http://kaefert.is-a-geek.org/huawei_honor/IMG_7491_small.JPG
It seem's there are versions without a camera? at least user limzm states in his signature his U8860 doesn't have one.
Backup & Recovery
In my opinion the first and most important thing when playing around with different ROMs, is the ability to backup and restore the phones ROM & state.
For this you need a custom recovery (which you will also need to flash custom ROMs, so you might only skip this if you want to only flash stock ROMs)
If you're on an 2.3.6 ROM, then possibly for this to work, you first need to flash a different stock ROM. There have been reports that with 2.3.6 the method below may not work. Also some newer ROMs like B923 and above have locked boot loaders, the latest ICS ROM that you can use for this is B919
NEW: CWM 6.0.1.0 with touch-support: MOD EDIT: Link removed.
OLD: download recovery-u8860-en.img from here MOD EDIT: Link removed.
make sure there is no directory named "dload" on your micro-sd-card - if there is, rename or remove it.
Turn off Fast-Boot, and shutdown your phone. If you don't know how to turn off Fast-Boot, pull the battery (it can be found in different places in different ROMs)
Press and hold volume-up, volume-down and power-button at the same time.
You should now see your phones screen pink (="pink screen mode")
Now connect your phone with an USB cable to a computer
A few disks should be mounted, search for the one that has an "image" folder with an recovery.img and a boot.img inside it. rename the recovery.img to recovery-bak.img (or simular) and copy recovery-u8860-en.img there and rename it to recovery.img
WARNING: Don't use the file recovery_v8.img which is referenced in a few other guides. It crashes and leaves you with non bootable phone-states and/or with unfished backups which cannot be restored.
ROMs
Stock ROMs (& leaked stock ROMs)
Stock ROMs (or leaked stock ROMs) can be flashed like this:
Download and unpack onto your micro-SD Card like that: /mnt/sdcard/dload/UPDATE.APP (some ROMs also have UPDATE_CUST.APP, copy it to the same place. If you're update has a second dload_cust (or the like) folder, you need to flash it in a second round just as the first one, by renaming it to "dload")
Turn off Fast-Boot, and shutdown your phone. If you don't know how to turn off Fast-Boot, pull the battery (it can be found in different places in different ROMs)
Press and hold volume-up, volume-down and power-button at the same time.
If everything above was done correctly, you should be able to watch your phone upgrading now.
Alternative: Some ROMs have an option in the settings that lets you start the upgrade-procedure without step 2.) and 3.) from above. If you can find it, you can use that one.
You can find stock ROMs here:

(thanks to user det-happy for pointing it out to me)
The most important Stock-ROM in my eyes (as base for most custom ROMs there are) is B919, find it here:

For people running linux on their computers, I've created an adapted version of this root tool:

OLD: Theres a nice guide explaining how to root and flash+enable google-apps here: (but don't take the recovery from there but from above. explanation also above) - only use this if the new method above doesn't work for you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22688341&postcount=53
Custom ROMs
To flash custom ROMs:
download their .zip file and put it somewhere on your sd-card
boot into your custom recovery: turn off phone completly, then Long press volume up + power button (for installation of custom recovery see top of this post)
factory reset / wipe everything (not always necessary, but to be on the save side. Some ROMs will not work in some cases if you don't wipe first, however the other way round is also possible, there are custom ROMs that will NOT work if you wipe, best look at the instructions from where you downloaded the custom ROM..)
flash update zip -> choose zip from sd card.

Android 4.x MIUI ROMs
WARNING: most MIUI-ROMs have SMS-confirmations turned on by default, which costs extra with many providers (like mine..) so check it before sending your first SMS and turn it off

Custom Kernels
I found a custom kernel that adds the option to overclock up to 2GHz. I'm used it running at 1.8GHz and it didn't seem to be any more unstable than before (I'm using the MIUI ROM which is a little bit instable all by itself already)
MOD EDIT: Link removed since you need to register to download the kernel, I also attached it MOD EDIT: Link removed to make it easier for you.
I also managed to build (and deploy) the 3.0.8 kernel sources provided by huawei myself, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23505650
With the help of the writer of rvoix I managed to adept our kernel in a way that rvoix works, but for the moment only mono so both parties mixed together in one channel (but recorded from the line, not only from the mic like most apps do). I attach the kernel that works with rvoix: View attachment boot_voc2.img.
Or for people wanting to build their kernels themselfs, here's the patch: http://code.google.com/p/rvoix/sour...pdragon/kernel/huawei_honor_u8860_rvoix.patch
UPDATE: Since our kernel sources don't work with B919 and later (non functional camera and wifi) I decided to go the other way round and modify the rvoix app to work with our kernel instead of adapting the kernel to work with the app. Here are the results: http://code.google.com/p/rvoix/downloads/detail?name=rvoix_mod_kaefert_v2.apk --> call recording that should work with all huawei honor 4.0.3 ROMs!
Various pointers
Adapting Chinese ROMs
Adding Google Apps (like the Market) --> Download zip from here http://goo-inside.me/gapps and flash it with recovery
Remove unwanted chinese system apps --> I do it with QtADB --> http://qtadb.wordpress.com/ But I guess you can also do it with some root app management apps
Change to languages that are not choosable in the standard language setting --> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale
Reading chinese sites
People who don't use google chrome or the chromium project (yet) probably don't know, that it has a really nice built-in translating feature, thats very useful for finding your way arround all these chinese (or russian) websites, and much better then using translate.google.com (or other such services) manually with other browsers.
Miscellaneous
Silent Huawei camera (ICS)
I was annoyed one day by all the noises the huawei camera simulates. Therefore I investigated and found out how to make it silent.

Hi guys.
I've just cleaned this thread and would like to remind everyone about some points, so that they're not repeated in the future, and explain all the missing links you may notice.
Warez is strictly forbidden on XDA. Please do not link to websites that provide it, or to ROMs that contain pirated apps.
Kernels are licensed under the GPL. This means that the kernel's source should be provided. If it is not, it's illegal and will be treated as warez as far as XDA is concerned. In simpler terms: if you're posting a link to a ROM that contains a kernel, or a kernel, make sure the kernel's source is available and link to it as well.
Recoveries that aren't based on stock and that use a zImage (which is covered by the GPL) must also be provided along with the source.
Links to competing or commercial websites are not allowed. Links to websites that require registration to access downloads are also not allowed (there are exceptions, please see rule #11 for more info.)
Credits must be given, and you must have permission to share the work. Assuming that you do: if this goes against the point above, you may mention the member/website without linking directly to his work. Point #2 still applies - a link to the kernel's source must be provided if necessary.
I realize this may have caused links to your favorite custom ROMs to be removed, and I apologize about that. Many of you clearly put a lot of effort into building, maintaining and helping with this index. However, all posts must respect the rules first and foremost.
Please PM me if you have any questions or if you need further clarification.
Thanks for understanding.
Hey thanks so much for helping with this. I followed your guides and managed to get my Honor rooted and on an ICS version. Thanks so much.

Well, I've been using it for 2 days now. I wouldn't call it stable, it has some rough edges, sometimes some system app crashes (like in the beginning I had a problem with the SMS-app), and I've had 2 complete system crashes (forced reboot) while running oruxmaps for navigation & gps-logging with my byclicle.
Check with you, if i installed the custom recovery, and root, can i revert back to stock by flashing via the settings menu or the vol/power button combination and stock rom in load directory?

Well the settings menue doesn't contain the huawei upgrade option in every ROM (for example not in the MUIU ROM), but the volumn up+down while booting will probably work, I haven't tried though. The upgrade directory however has to be call "dload", not "load".
To revert back to a previous ROM I find it much better to use the nandroid backup and recover options that every recovery image I saw yet contains. However be careful, the recovery-v8.img posted on some other places is instable and crashes before the backup is finished. you won't be able to recover such an incomplete backup. Always check if you have some backup complete message, it should NOT reboot automatically after making a backup.

What is in MIUI rom better than the official rom that you like?

Well the MIUI ROM has much more configuration options, for example you have a statusbar settings page where you can choose between default battery icon, percentage number or the top pixel row in green. Or also the MIUI theme chooser is really nice.
Another useful thing is the permission manager thats included that (if you config it that way) asks you whenever an app tries to use a permission that its defined to require. for example if you have an app that has the permission to send sms then the permission manager will ask you the first time that the app really sends an sms if you want to allow or deny it, and also if you want to save your choice or if it should ask next time again.

Hmm. Well the only ideas I have:
1.) Theres a 2G+3G / 2G only switch, in the MIUI ROM I linked in my first post you can reach it like this:
Home Screen --> Settings --> More... (4th point under the heading Wireless & Networks) --> Mobile Networks --> Only 2G-Networks
If that switch is on, than obviously your phone won't connect to a 3G network
2.) Your not in range of a 3G network?
Apparently there is bootloop issue for the newly released MIUI ROM 2.3.23 over at MOD EDIT: Link removed.

The ROMs that I know of and that I've tried you find in the first post. I found the loader (=desktop) of the non-MIUI ROMs to be faster and snappier. (However, the MIUI is more feature-rich)
Okay thanks alot I think I'm gonna give MIUI a try. Downloaded the latest version from the MIUI website. Have you tried any CM Release?

GALAXY R BOX DETAILS:
- Total space of 500 GB. ( which is as good as a HDD for Galaxy R forum's needs )
- Max file size of 2000 MB is allowed & there's no min limit.
- Files will be available for download for as long as the complete file is downloaded within every 90 days(apprx. 3 months).
- Password protected so that no one uploads any warez thereby taking down our Box.

It should, but we need to get more stuff in here and we gotta give the devs the password to upload the stuff they share up in this download box...
we have to request all the developers to upload hear and we need to provide them the password for uploading, then it will be useful.

That can be done easily I'll PM all the developers the password but we have to ensure that it is sticky'ed so that its visible to everyone & no one asks where to download from.

Hello. Here are the applications that work for our Lg G Pro 2.
Just follow these steps:
1. Copy into system/priv-apps all G3 apps
- LGAlarmClockG3_signedGpro2.apk
- LGContacts_signedGpro2.apk
- LGContactsProvider_signedGpro2.apk
- LGFavouriteContactsWidgetG3_signedGpro2.apk
- LGGalleryG3_signedGpro2.apk
- LgMusicG3_signedGpro2.apk
- LgMusicWidgetG3_signedGpro2.apk
- LGCalendarG3_signed_signedGpro2.apk will be installed as a normal apk , after you delete LGCalendar.apk and LgCalendar.odex from system/priv-app.
2. Delete old items from system/priv-app using a manager (i use root explorer)
- LGAlarmClock.apk
- LGAlarmClock.odex
- LGCalendar.apk
- LGCalendar.odex
- LGContacts.apk
- LGContacts.odex
- LGContactsProvider.apk
- LGContactsProvider.odex
- LGFavouriteContactsWidget.apk
- LGFavouriteContactsWidget.odex
- LGGallery.apk
- LGGallery.odex
- LGMusic.apk
- LGMusic.odex
- LGMusicWidget.apk
- LGMusicWidget.odex
3. Set permissions to rw-r-r
4. Change owner to root (if neccesary)
5. Reboot the phone and enjoy
Known issues
- The statusbar color inside these applications is black (for now) ... i have hope that there will be a way to fix that (i'm already collaborating with the XDA member UserXP_ and he will try to fix this)
- The callendar works only if it's installed as a normal apk (after you deleted the old app from system/priv-app )
- The LgMessage.apk isn't working yet, UserXP_ it's trying to fix the bugs.
- This is what we have for now.. maybe we will get more apps in the future. If anyone else have more, post in this thread. Many thanks

Extra info and Credits
This port was possible only with the generous help of the great XDA member UserXP_ , so all thanks and credits must go his way. I'm only glad i can share his work with the rest G Pro 2 owners(i hope this community will grow up someday). I am sure that people who will use this apps can at least go at his main topic here and hit thanks. These apps will probably work with any 4.4.2 stock rom , i tried on v10b Hong Kong(be careful , i'm almost sure these apps won't work on other devices , so don't try or try at your own risk ,and don't try the apps from UserXP_'s topic , they won't work on our device). The preliminary result it's in the atachments.
Works perfect
Thank you guys
Can't wait for status bar color
And more apps?
Works perfectly too thanks you
New Gallery is nice. Thanks.
Very good.

G3 apps
Hi, is it possible for you to share other G3 apps like QTheatre or QTranslate? I saw some custom ROMs have them included. Thanks for answering.
Hello. I don't know. You may ask UserXP_ since he is porting a lot of apps from g3 and he helped with g pro 2 apps.

Yes sir! I did try those steps. But they dont seem to work. On the reboot it says preparing new apps but still nothing works. I tried to restore the backup of the apps into system\priv-apps folder but even they dont work now.
I just am trying to replace the default LG phone and contacts app. But unable to.
If you can't restore your files, in this program LG Phone From you will find link with .kdz for your phone. Download .kdz to your PC and use LG Flash tool 2014 to flash your phone. Use "Normal flash", not "CSE flash". About 3 minutes and you have stock phone. Root it again with Stump root and try those steps in first post of this topic. But you need to delete both .apk and .odex files.
10 minutes of work and done.
I dare not do this thing, it will crash my phone.
please delete topic.
whats ur device? i downloaded the launcher from a google+ post but it did not give me the option to swipe to right to see the google now cards and changing wallpapers FC on mine.. on nexus 6..
@reyscott i'm using Android One Device. Resurrection Remix 5.7.2. All features are working well.
@reyscott i'm using Android One Device. Resurrection Remix 5.7.2. All features are working well.
i think i know now the issue
issue arises if you install it as an apk only.. unless its placed as a system app then that would fix the problems..
Please fix the credits and also avoid mirroring the zips
Hi @RealSchule , what about giving proper credit to Nathan Benis and linking to him AFH download link instead of reuploading and share?
I checked the md5 and it's the same one than the Nathan one, how can this be possible? You an anonimous hacker?
@reyscott Move it to priv-app with proper permissions and it will work. Installing as an apk don't activate the option to swipe for Google Now.
@herna i don't know who shared first or released because i didn't anywhere. i found it on a forum and shared here. i'm sorry.
please delete topic. i'm saying again i'm sorry from who shared or released first. i edited first message.
BUT BUT I got the apk from my job at Intel //sarcasm

That's okey. Is okey you to share, but if you are already found a link, easy, paste that link, it saves you time.
We, all of the guys who replied are not angry or anything, just showing you how you should do.
Don't take it bad. Sorry if it looked different of expected.
Hello !
I propose a mod of the apk "NfcNci.apk" which allows to activate the NFC service even when the screen is switched off (For MM 6.0.1).
I tested it ONLY on my ROM and my phone
That's why I do not promise at all that it will work for you, sorry.
I'm not a good modder or even a good developer.
(If ever someone skilled want to take care of the idea, np )
Remember to back up your NfcNci apk before making any changes.
The apk therefore works under these conditions :
Phone : Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005
ROM : NXTeam 6.0.1 N7 Port 04.Apr.2017 (MagMa NX)
Android Version : Marshmalow 6.0.1
Installation
Disable NFC on your phone
!!! First of all, make a backup of your NfcNci.apk located in : system/app/NfcNci by renaming it to NfcNci.apk.bak
With a root explorer copy my NfcNci.apk file into : system/app/NfcNci
Reboot your phone
Enable NFC
Enjo .. .. Test it
Download
NfcNci.apk (Google Drive)
Story-Time
I propose this "modded apk" because I was unable to find a solution to activate the Nfc when the screen is off, I also hope that it will be useful to others.
Indeed, for me, the module Xsposed NfcScreenOffEnabler does not work with Marshmallow. (I use it only to have the TAG loss event).
Credits
This mod is very much inspired by the guide of "LASSE HYLDAHL JENSEN" (lasse-it.dk)
Thanks to him.
For Nougat (7.0.1 / 7.1.1) follow his guide : Here
Or use his modded apk : Here
I apologize in advance:
For my English (I'm French)
If I did not follow the rules of topics
I will accept any advice with pleasure
