Chinese problems - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

So I bought the Honor 8 in China. This means that when I swipe to the right (from the homepage) I can see Chinese news, instead of international or English. Is there some way of changing that. All I want to know is how to access the settings for that feature.
Thanks

Mine is also having that. I cant switch it to english. I cant also find a way changing that so I disabled it by pinching the screen and click setting and disable HiBoard.

Can you change the source of news or the app to extract news? If you have any specific question that I can help you ask in the Chinese Honor forum, just let me know.

That would be great.
I was wondering, if I could link the news function to another application, I would do that. I searched the device for the source of the news and wondered, if I deleted it, would it provide me with the option of replacing it with another.
If you could ask, I would be most grateful.

The forum is closed from 3am to 6am Beijing time. I will do it later when it's reopened.

Just posted your question on the Chinese forum: http://club.huawei.com/thread-12103532-1-1.html
I'll keep an eye on it if there is any valuable solution.

From an authorized source, it seems impossible at this moment to change the news sources. But a feedback has been sent to the Huawei developer team. Hopefully, a future update can allow you to customize those functions. One suggestion given by them is to use a third party news source and ignore the Chinese news for now.
As the Chinese version of EMUI has more functionality, include more available Camera plugins and better AI designs, I hope you enjoy the default EMUI system, anyways.

Hi guys,
I have the same problem with Honor 9, would be happy to find a solution.
Thanks,
Shahab

You could try to flash the global OTA ROM (i.e. B360 or B385).

Some things in the Chinese forum that were suggested:
-If you haven't yet, turn on your location and refresh the news
- they said news is based on you specifically, like Google now news, so maybe after time it will adapt to your likes.
*To speed this up you could try going into the settings of the news and click on things you like (English news that is)
Sorry, wasn't much else

This is based on the Allwinner A10 chipset.
There are some custom roms out there for that platform, but a device specific bundle is needed with it.
I have not been able to find that bundle, it seems without the proper one, the touchscreen probably has no driver (en thus does not work).
Search XDA and you will find the discussion.
A nice tutorial :

Hi,
I saw your post on another site too I think.
I also requested source code, but the support people replied they would not give it.
I kindly pointed them to the GPL and the fact they are legally obliged to release the source code.
After that I have not heard from them.
I also mailed to gpl-violations.org for advice.
would be nice if those companies stop being arrogant and allow proper development.
By the way, Archos seems to do this. Samsung does, Tomtom too and a bunch of others as well.
If the source of this tablet will not be published by them, I will not by any Point Of View product again.
Besides that I would advice all people not to by anything from them anymore.
Let's hope they will comply. Other people, if you read this, please send a mail to ask them.
the more requests, the better!
check this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932626
perhaps better to close this thread?
hi.
Where I can find custom firmare for POV TAB-PROTAB2-IPS9 ?
thx

Got a QiKU 360 N4, tutorial to unlock bootloader is in chinese. Halp!

I hope this is the right thread.
Hello bois, I got a QiKU 360 N4 which is a pretty sick phone for the money I paid it.
It came out recently on the chinese market and its bootloader is locked.
I googled a bit and found some tutorials tho unlock the bootloader and install TWRP, because somebody compiled that already! Awesome, right?
Too bad are in chinese, yeah.
Google translate doesn't help that much, it is incomprehensible, and even if it did help: I am required to sign up to the chinese forum to read the whole tutorial (which requires me to understand how to sign up) and from what I understand the procedure makes use of a software running on windows to enter the bootloader and such software is in chinese only!
So I am looking for some kind soul who could translate the procedure and, if possible, reupload the necessary files somewhere so people like me wouldn't have to sign up to the linked chinese forum to get them.
In exchange I can offer some tips on health and fitness for I have a master in sports sciences. Or, I could offer you a beer?
P.S. sadly xda does not allow me to post links, can link in private... I guess.

I've sent you a message however I don't think you'll manage without knowing chinese
The tool they use is to unlock the bootloader and it's a proprietary tool.

I'm sorry but I did not have time yesterday. I don't have access to a proper computer so I am using my raspberry pi to do all this. Since it does not have a photo editor I am working on a google slide document that will be accessible by link. I'll post it here as fast as I am done

Here is how far I have come. I assume you have to download a bunch but at least the company gives you information. I've heard numerous people who buy Chinese phones and are stuck with whatever software they offer.
Yeah there is no chance to write a custom rom because the kernel source is never being given by Mediatek.
However having the ability to backup and play around with the stock firmware is great.

True, I like how it has become a meme that "I'll die before mtk releases their sources".
Any more news on this? Loving my N4 so far, but would like to install TWRP and gapps, but not quite sure how. Have read somewhere that Kingroot has worked on other Qiku/360 phones but haven't got that far myself. Any chance you could send me that link to me too, your googling skills are clearly far superior to my own!
Hi.
I wiped my data from the stock recovery and now i am stuck at boot logo.I don't know how that happened.but i think i have to flash stock firmware which i cant find anywhere.
Qiku forum is unresponsive and there is no other place with info of this rare phone.
Help me out here please
help me please! I.want to unlock my QIKU N4S, but i can not download from chinese forum. thank you a lot!

Hello Alex,
Those links are sadly down.
Do you know any other link to a stock N4 image and scatter file that I could use to factory-reset a pattern-locked N4 ? I got my hands on a discarded one, but the factory reset option in recovery mode requires that cloud account be first deleted, which I can't to because of the pattern lock.
Thanks !
EDIT :
Sorry, I spoke too fast. I gave another try and the links are up, though in chinese. I'll try to get what I can. Thank you !

Is the cell phone on your hand 360n4? This cell phone has two versions of 360n4 and 360n4s
Yes, it a 360N4, not a 360N4S.
What I'm trying to do is follow that howto : http://www.cnroms.com/360-n4-061-unlock-bootloader-install-twrp-recovery.html to downgrade it, then factory reset it and install TWRP.
However, I can't read chinese (can't even tell whether it's cantonese or mandarin). Google Translate helps, but most link seem to be broken, and when they're not, the download speed is abysmally slow (several days…).
Is there any way you could help me ? Maybe get the needed files and reupload them somewhere faster ?

Thanks again, I have seen the video, but since I do not understand the language in which it is explained, I was a little doubtful about the questions. Now I think I have it clear. regards
It does not work for me, I do everything according to the tutorial but when I get to the Chinese directory I do not see the new file with the numbers, only the 4key itz that I put. I have used version 5.1.1.6 of the I Themes that I believe is the current one, not the 4.0.0.1 that comes in the video. Could that be why? Thank you

Thanks! It works like a charm, just took 4 hours to download the update, idk why :good:
For people who don't want to go to YouTube:
Just change your region in the HiCare App to China and then click on the update button inside the HiCare App.
You are registered now. Now just download and install the update the usual way.
Just a word of warning though. It just rendered my dark themes completely unusable. And none of the unofficial dark themes work anymore, even ones that were designed for emui 9. It says the themes were designed for an older version. FML.

Well ... I have founded a new ROM for this mobile. Based on MIUI 10.2.1
It is posted on russian forum: https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=895159&st=4140#entry90240414
You must update the firmware using TWRP. Remenber to do format and wipes on TWRP before install it.
I have test it on my x650 and it is great. Enviroment is nice and very fast, so it has 1 fault: no NFC control.
Languaje contains english, korean, chinese ... etc , but not spanish.
Good luck.

If you see the test pictures of the ROM on the russian web, you can see finger recognition working.
I am in the right way: You only must to see information in links has been gave, but is less work to ask people than read or see information which has been exposed. Actually people is too much lazy ....
