It's great to be able to set up apps with individual display settings through Paranoid Android's built in utilities. The problem is that it often takes a lot of trial and error to get just the right size. I wanted to start a list of Apps and their settings for the Galaxy S3 and its 4.8 inch screen, sourced from the community. It will certainly make setup significantly faster and easier. Please post any Apps that you have I'll add them to the list.
AppName | Size | Layout | Force | Large Screen
The List:
Gallery | 250 | 600px | No | No
GMail | 250 | 600px | No | No
Google Search (Now) | 250 | 500px | No | No
Netflix | 250 | 720px | No | Yes
Play | 250 | 540px | No | No
I started this thread in the international version's App's and Themes section, and that should really be the master list because the settings apply to any GS3, but I'll keep updating the list here too.
link to that thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=30042353
Link to the thread is broken. Mind fixing it?
Is there a MOD to enable the Menu key to be available on the Navbar instead of what's listed in the Quick Options menu? I've looked all over, haven't found anything yet. I've run out of query to search for, so I figured I'd ask, maybe someone know if it's possible.
The original options are found in : Settings > Display > Quick launch > None | Screen capture | Applications | Search | Camera. I just need a Menu button.
My Nexus 5 (lollipop) was dropped and the screen has some small cracks in the lower 1.5 cm, but the digitizer is damaged in other areas. Currently the functional touch screen is all but ~7mm right margin plus some 5mm at the bottom margin, as follows:
Code:

where x is area unresponsive to touch.
e.g. I cannot swipe to the right not touch the most right buttons in the virtual keyboard.
Is there a software solution (probably requires rooting, preferably not) to limit the screen area of the android system? I mean tell the lollipop to only use the functional rectangle for display?
Thanks in advance!

Hi folks,
Im not sure if this is the right place to post my thread, but I need help for my experiments on my powersaving module, which I developed for observing how different parameters such as GPU scaling, CPU scaling,
screen brightness scaling and Vibration Strength scaling could have an impact on the overall battery runtime of a smartphone.
For these experiments I developed a simple application which should stress the battery and therefore targets the parameters I stated previously. Note that all the parameters are scaled down progressively, meaning that reaching 90% [P9] , 80% [P8] , 70% [P7] etc. of battery charge, the parameters are scaled down according to this table:
|Max screen| Vibration| Max | Power | Max
|brightness | (%) | CPU | Bias | GPU
| (0-255) | | (GHz) | ( �) | (0 - 6)
----------------------------------------------------------
P9 | Default | Default | Default | 50 | 0
P8 | 150 | Default | 1958.4 | 50 | 1
P7 | 100 | Default | 1728.0 | 100 | 1
P6 | 40 | 30 | 1574.4 | 100 | 2
P5 | 30 | 30 | 1267.2 | 100 | 3
P4 | 20 | 30 | 1190.4 | 200 | 3
P3 | 10 | 0 | 1190.4 | 200 | 4
P2 | 5 | 0 | 1036.8 | 300 | 4
P1 | 3 | 0 | 1036.8 | 300 | 5
P0 | 1 | 0 | 960.0 | 300 | 5
My observations:
- Without scaling any parameter i.e. leaving the smartphone in its original state, it runs for approx. 4 hours
- Scaling down ALL parameters together, the phone runs for approx. 6,5 hours
- Scaling down ONLY the Screen brightness parameter, I can extend the run-time by approx. 1 hour, which proves that the screen brightness is the main cause for poor
battery runtime.
- Scaling down ONLY the vibration strength does not extend significantly the battery runtime
My module seems to behave correctly, however I cannot figure out the following issue:
- Scaling down ONLY ONE parameter, say CPU or GPU, I cannot see any siginificant improvement in battery runtime, sometimes there is even no actual impact !
I was looking on the internet and even on scientific papers for the cause of this behaviour, but I wasn't lucky !
Maybe you guys can figure out what the actual reason is behind this behaviour !
Thank you

Hello,
First of all, nice work mate.
XDA Assist is for newbies finding their way around XDA Developers.
You may post your query here or here, you maybe able to get some relevant help.

Guys there is any custom rom available for this amazing phone?
Not yet, but the future looks promising...

Hoping so this phone deserves it
Since this phone will be sold in the USA as well, I have the feeling it will see some rom support in the near future. At least I hope so .
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
i have seen a custom rom in a folder o
i have seen a custom rom in a folder of my fav. dev. Tkkg1994 at android file host i dont know why he is not publishing it ... this rom is uploaded at 26 december but waiting for the dev to confirm us for installation thanks.
If you guys really want roms I would say get to learning to do it yourself as that is your best bet. Even though this device will be available around the world many devs do not like working on Huawei devices short of the Nexus line. Even the honor 8 didnt really see much for development even though there is a partnership with XDA. It didnt help. Yes there are a few but not nearly as many as there would be if people stopped waiting on other people to do things for them and stepped up themselves.

I wish to develop but I don't have the basis to do it. I hate to wait for someone else.
Not happening most likely. Especially with the new way to update/install Roms. Has Huawei ever released sources/files needed to do custom Roms.
I do miss the stock ROM for mate 8.
Custom Roms are not what they used to be. After going back and forth between Nexus up and mate 8 for the last year plus.

I assume that any custom rom would just be flashed in TWRP, though, so it wouldn't matter much.
before they can cook custom roms they must have to solve the partial root problem first,if not it will be just hopes and dreams.

Partial Root Problem?
I just saw the US release for this phone and was considering it to replace my Nexus6 (o.g.) since so far, nothing out there comes close to my N6. Of course I came on XDA first before ordering to check out the ROM and mod support for the phone since that is another "Must have" for whatever phone I get to replace my N6.
Doesn't seem to be too much activity in here, possibly because I thought the phone was only available for international sale until now? But if you are mentioning some sort of ROOT problem, then perhaps I'm going to have to keep on with my N6 until someone releases a comparable phone.
Based on what I have seen on XDA for Mate 8, I don't expect many custom roms. Maybe a few more than the Mate 8 depending on interest. For now I would be happy with root and Xposed (not yet ready for Nougat as I understand).
i just saw there is a new custom rom on chinese offical forum with root and instruction. But doesnt seems good

It's a start
The Chinese custom rom JC was talking about is:

Don't know how good they are, never used one.

Hope to see a ROM besides the preinstalled one for this beastly phone.
KangVIP ROM is out for the Mate 9. If I do get the phone I'll be doing a stock based rom but I'm not sure if I wanna drop $600 right now. You need a Baidu cloud account to download the rom.

Everything listed is all i need.
very nice to see custom roms out there. this is my first huawei some one can guide me how to flash custom roms
