Hi, I installed the latest firmware upgrade. The unit runs fine... excellent. Can we run alternate keyboards while still running a stock G tablet?

Do I have to root the tablet to do this?
I saw that post. The user is running TNT Lite on a rooted GTablet. First, do I need to root the unit? Does that wipe out the latest update? I'd like to keep this as stock as possible since I'm happy with the latest update... but I want my swype etc... Thanks for your input.

I don't think you would need root to push the keyboard file. Only issue would be if the folder permissions needed to be changed. Then you might need root. Root would not do anything to your tablet as far as updates, etc. Just lets you have access you normally would not. Kind of like being the administrator on a windows machine...
Which root prog would you recommend?
That's what I was hoping to hear. Rooting has no effect on the rom other than allowing me to get under the hood... great. I tried to copy the apk to the system/app and I didn't have permission. What you recommend to root the tablet? Thanks.

Z4root is what most use. I don't recall if it is in the market or not. It is an apk that you install and then run. You can use Root Explorer to change the permissions after that.
I don't run stock so I have to go by memory so sorry if I sound kind of vague...
No luck with OTA and swype
Tried to load swype (after rooting) on a Viewsonic ota rom. No go, many force close issues. I dropped the apk in the system/app directory, changed to permissions to match the others, rebooted and nothing. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
Hiya!
I was wondering about this too.
However, my problem is that I can't find the apk for my preferred keyboard (SwiftKey Pro). I searched for it using Astro File Manager and it doesn't come up anywhere (the data files for it sure do, though. Just not the apk!).
In addition, I am not sure how to get a root file manager on to my GTablet so that I can copy it over (in Astro I found the system/app files, but I can't do anything there since I can't get root access in there with Astro).
I've looked for a root file manger in AppBrain and found one, but the Market does not see it (cannot be found) so I am stuck on how to get root access in the system/app place.
Good day everyone, this is a guide on how to enable Xposed on EMUI 3.1 (Working tested by me using the deodex method) and EMUI 4.0 (Working tested by me also and confirmed working by @Blackball,). - (Update using the deodex method 10-4-2016)
First of all the original guide for making this work on Huawei roms http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/general/guide-workaround-running-xposed-t3338765. Ty @mfbcool for your guide and help. Please follow his instructions to the letter for making it work on our device.
- ([15-4-2016] New Instructions on the original thread no need to deodex the rom files, a working xposed zip has been developed for Huawei devices just flash it in twrp and do the build.prop modifications before you flash the zip for your version of rom. Already tested by me)
So my role in this is to highlight all the tips needed for making it work on our device, and the issues i faced when doing it. ([15-4-2016] The original thread is self explanatory, all of the tips here are already mentioned there this thread was created when we needed to deodex the rom files. So forgive me if i am not adding much.)
Notes
- I think a lot of the members were installing the wrong xposed files for our device we need the ARM-64 SoC files for our device because it's using the Kirin 930.
The Tips:
Lollipop:
1. The xposed files needed for your device are under the heading of: on Lollipop 5.0.x is: Xposed for EMUI 3.1 Android 5.0. (If you are on Lollipop 5.1.1 is: Xposed for EMUI 3.1 Android 5.1.1, if Marshmallow: Xposed for EMUI 4.0 Android 6.0)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-workaround-running-xposed-t3338765
2. Make sure that after you install the xposed apk , you go to "build.prop" in /system using any file explorer with root and edit the line "ro.config.hwtheme=1" to "ro.config.hwtheme=0" and then save the file with the defualt permissions or you will get a bootloop. why editing the build.prop is important because without changing this the framework will not be active, you will get a red message saying framework not active. The only way to activate it is by editing this line or in the xposed app go to Settings if you enable "disabled resources hooks" doing that and then restarting will activate the framework but whatever module that uses resources will not work. So the only way working without affecting the modules is editing the build.prop file.
Marshmallow:
1. Make sure to add these lines ro.config.hwtheme=0 and ro.config.hw_theme=0 in build.prop in order for xposed to work and make sure to save the file with the defualt permissions or you will get a bootloop.
If you follow the original guide exactly and the tips you should have no issues making Xposed work.
P.S: By the way first boot may take a while (15+ mins), So don't be afraid.
Special thanks again to @mfbcool for his guide & help, and @pudup for directing me to the guide.

I cant install xposed. When i install it, after reboot i get black screen with only one button of the navigation bar (i can access the shutdown menu from lock key, and i can access and the notification pannel, but nothing more). This is solved when i install the uninstall file.
My phone is already rooted. I firstly installed apk, and then installed xposed via twrp. I've tried to wipe the Dalvik but it doesnt solved.
My p8 is gra-L09, lollipop. Used this files: XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk, xposed-v80-sdk21-arm64.zip, xposed-uninstaller-20150831-arm64.zip.
What AM i doing wrong?

Did you deodex the rom? you have to deodex in order for xposed to work for Huawei devices, which version of Lollipop are you using?.
I flashed today the C636B320 Marshmallow firmware, and then i deodexed the rom per instructions to make xposed work on Marshmallow.
First attempt i failed because i didn't wait enough, you see the screen will get stuck on Huawei boot animation without any sign that anything is happening(no app update notification card like in Lollipop) for like a 20+ mins. Then voilà the phone booted normally. Also exposed is working fine no issues, make sure to flash xposed-v80-sdk23-arm64.zip instead of the latest one v81 which doesn't seem to work for me.

There are no ROMs available but I did manage a proper root and xposed to where you can freeze and customize it...
So I rooted Nougat, 930U variant (Snapdragon), and now I can't disable any system apps. BK Disabler, Titanium Backup, 3C Toolbox, App Quarantine -- I tried them all , and none of them will disable anything. What am I doing wrong? I confirmed root is good and those apps a granted access through SU...
Use a root tool like this?

Yep I tried that one too, and App Quarantine. They don't successfully disable anything. And turns out I can't get BusyBox installed either. I don't know what's going on LOL
Update: re-rooted and fixed it. I was using an older version of the root.bat.
Good stuff :good:

I used magisk module.
First set your font to roboto in settings/font
Second you go to magisk manager, downloads and search for fonts. Low, all of theese might not work properly I don't know.. I use exo 2 font without any issues.. I have also tried 2 others without issues.
Use magisk
Use a file explorer like Root Explorer and navigate to "/system/fonts". Paste the fonts you want to use in the folder. You should get a prompt asking you if you want to overwrite the existing font. Accept and then reboot.
Just use ifont if you have root.
Thanks guys!
I tried ifont and it did not work with rooted 1+6 and H2os and Pie with Magisk
Use TypeFace
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pixkart.typeface
Then you get previews of the fonts and have whole bunch to choose from.

Would recommend to go ahead and use Magisk. It worked well with my OP5 and now OP6. Have tried using Hifont earlier. Though I uninstalled the app could not restore it back to the normal font until factory reset ( very painstaking).
uses APK fontster ( required root), works very well with many sources.
https://fontster.uptodown.com/android
I am rooted with the pixel 2 font mod installed through magisk, in the phone settings switch to Roboto font, install Ifont and choose a font. Reboot and install chosen font again, reboot
