Rendering issues after the latest firmware update

Rendering issues after the latest firmware update - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hi guys,
after the last software update I have noticed some rendering issues. It is noticable on the box transition in the desktop app - there is some odd clipping.
Further, I am a Android developer and I work on this app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skypicker.main
I use view rotations and I noticed, that rotated views are not rendered at all. I also noticed that the corner clipping of the CardView does not work (should work on Android 5+).
I have tested it on Huawei P9 Lite after it's latest update and the issues are there too.
Have there been any mentions of this anywhere? Also, how to I file bug report to Honor company?

S Note 5r1309FV03 Update for GT-N8010

Hi guys,
I have recently updated to the latest firmware (the 69MB "bug fix" ** , not jelly bean), and I have the following findings in S Note....
- No more options to hide tool bar, workspace significantly shrink
- My palm zooms the page every 20 seconds even though ink only mode is on
- Unable to "import" images in with landscape ratio as the note background. the gallery assumes that I want to crop a portrait image
- Which means that I have to rely on "Change background" when the note is opened, and change it EVERYTIME I add a new page
- If I close the landscape note, reopen it later, 7 time out of 10 the "change background" menu is greyed out, and 3 times out of 10 I have to select the image from gallery again.
-Import PDF finally works, but it converts my lecture slide pdfs to pixelated images of text...
I think there is a similar thread for GN8000 update, but is this what happens too? I really appreciate it if anyone can share any insights or suggestions as to how to fix the above inconvenience. I use S Note everyday and changing background every page I add is just too much for me. Portrait I tend to run out of horizontal space... Moreover, is it possible to simply install the apk of the old S Note? Will it work like before the update?
Many Thanks.

I knew I wasn't crazy! I thought something had changed in S-Note. The only thing that has actually been bugging me has been the screen resizing with my wrist. I always have to be super careful to make sure the tip of the pen is near the screen first and then I can rest my wrist. I'm sure other things have changed but I only use it to take notes at work so I always just use the default background.

I would think you could extract it from your previous rom or Titanium backup and install it in place of the latest one without issue.

No. There's associated files that would need be downgraded too. When I installed the newer APK on my Note without the associated files it crapped out. You can flash the old ROM you originally had via Odin. You should be able to find it and instructions in the dev section. Hopefully there will be an enhanced 2.0 version of S-Note in the JB update.

[APP][Official][v1.1] Oreo Colorizer

Oreo Colorizer uses an invisible system overlay operating in wide color gamut that forces the display to shift its color space to DCI-P3 instead of the default sRGB.
Optimized Rendering only affects apps that use SurfaceFlinger (IE: 99% of all Android Apps). This mode has ZERO performance penalty.
Any app that uses special drawing techniques (SurfaceViewer) will require per-frame rendering at the cost of performance. I suggest only using it only for special cases (like watching video).

Any Oreo device that reports Wide Color Gamut support. Right now it's just the Pixel 2, but should support more devices as they release/are upgraded to Oreo.

Using a Pixel 2 here, noticed that the overlay only works on pictures when i am scrollinh the picture, as soon as i stop scrolling or scaling and take my fingers away from the phone the old boring colors return.
Is there a way to overcome this issue?

"Oreo Colorizer uses an invisible system overlay operating in wide color gamut that forces the display to shift its color space. Included are two operating modes: Standard and High Performance. Standard Mode is a completely passive implementation that only updates when something on the screen updates. High Performance Mode forces the display to shift color space every frame. Apps that use SurfaceViews and video playback may require this mode. See it in action below—keep your eye on the rainbow and the tree."

@CLShortFuse is it possible for you to add the new Color Profiles into your app that the November update provided for those of us stuck on 8.1 beta without that? Not sure how hard it would be.

@CLShortFuse
Thanks a lot bro, working awesome on my Pixel 2 XL!:good:

Any chance for an automated mode. There is flickering of the display when on the home screen, such as when you pull down the notification drawer. It only happens if you are using a live wallpaper.
There should be options to have the app automatically switch between optimized mode and aggressive mode. For example, let it go aggressive mode on the home screen or when YouTube (although I haven't noticed problems with YouTube yet) is up and optimized mode otherwise.

This one just work for Pixel only? coz cannot work in honor devices. maybe must be root first?

doesn\t work on remixos just an analyze error when trying to open the apk

Although It Fixes The Software Issue Of LCD Like Bleed Or Screen Bleeding On Screen It Sacrifices FPS on Games. You Definitely Should Turn This Off When Playing Games As It Will Cause Stuttering And Low FPS Here's An Example. The First 2 Screenshots Are From The Same Level Of The Game Named Hyperforma (For Testing Purposes) With An Unstable FPS Of 90-79 Whilst The Third Screenshot Are With Oreo Colorizer Off. With A Stable 121-116 FPS. You'd Trade FPS When You Use This App. Hopefully Xiaomi Fixes The Software Issue As The Amoled Display DCI-P3 Are Not Fully Utilized.

Did anybody test in on p2a42?
And will the modem work when you come from nougat?

EDIT : VoLTE works great. Just some bugs like auto nav bar hiding needs to be worked.

Please post some screenshot of beautiful MIUI

Nice ROM.. @y4977143 but please mention it downgrades the firmware of device.... BTW which firmware it was? Chinese one or from mm stock Indian?
If possible can you provide the latest firmware as flashable zip? For p2a42. Indian Variant

Update to front camera quality on China Firmware

Hello all,
Please see the new firmware on the Chinese P20 Pro. Found this on the official Huawei Forum. (https://club.huawei.com/thread-15944437-1-1.html)
Lots of people have been complaining about the over exposure and beauty effect. I've included an English translation over the change log. The "eating chicken" part is a bad translation - it really means "optimizes the experience and operation of exciting games". They also seemed to have optimised the touch screen response when making small movements.
Great that Huawei is addressing some common complaints. Not sure when these fixes will reach your region and handset (and what the equivalent firmware number will be in your region) but from what I know Huawei will them out by IMEI batches and also your mobile operator needs to approve them before you can get the OTA. So quite a few factors involved there. Hope you get it soon!

Thanks for taking the time to post and translate this here
The beauty effect on the front camera is a little bit too much to my liking so improvements in that department are always appreciated.
What do they really mean with "optimizes the experience and operation of exciting games"? Is this related to updates to the GPU or UI to make it more fluid?
I personally don't have any problems with the touch response, especially after playing a bit with a S9+ yesterday, I feel the P20 Pro is very responsive compared to Samsung Experience. (Touchwiz)
Currently running 8.1.0.107 (C636) and looking forward to future firmware updates to further optimize our phones

So Notting about camera beutifull mod off???

Mine is pretty sharp on selfies. If you switch to photo mode, after selecting front facing camera, it's much better than before. Not as spot searingly sharp as the Pixel 2 but it's better since .110 in my honest opinion.

What firmware region are you referring to? Mine is C636 .107 and I am still not contented on the quality of the front camera especially the very poor focus of the background. I personally think that they can improve this via software update since Google was able to implement a sharp shooter selfie camera using a fixed focus lens...

I received 121 today my is cust 605 and câmera now it's great in low light in auto mode, and night mode apparently Moore bad than early update, very strange.

Just received the C636 update for Baseline 120a
Is there a way to confirm that the Front camera update that you mentioned here is already applied? I only had the OTA update, not full (From BL 107c to BL 120a).
There's not much of a difference though...Tried testing the front cam now

I'm on the 120 and C636 firmware too which is on April 2018 Google security patch. The China region front camera update firmware 109 is on May 2018 security patch so i think we have to wait for 128 on C636 to see those improvements to the front camera. Like you, I don't see much difference in the front camera from 107 to 120 on C636.
