[GUIDE] [Universal] How to put together your own CalyxOS with microG

[GUIDE] [Universal] How to put together your own CalyxOS with microG - General Topics

Honestly I was so aggravated at the amount of attention this ROM was getting,
that I just had to make this guide to show how easy it is to get CalyxOS features with the help of LineageOS
Note: This won't be too noob-friendly, so do your research before following this. If your phone catches fire, nothing I can do!
Also I'll be referring to LineageOS for microG as LMM throughout the guide
Safetynet also currently seems to be broken
Pre-requisites before using this guide: - A phone ready for custom ROM'ing (unlocked bootloader, custom recovery installed yada yada)
- A user willing to sacrifice 90% Google apps (microG still has it's limitations you know)
- PC with everything ready (just to make the process smooth)
- TWRP backup of your previous ROM (just in case something goes wrong)
Let's begin!
Stage 1: Check and download1) Check if your phone has official support for LineageOS for microG
2) If it's there; congratulations! Your life has been made 50% easier.
If it isn't, well, you'll have to check if you have official/unofficial ROM support for the standard LineageOS.
If that isn't there, you'll have to go with any other deODEX'd ROM (which means your results may vary compared to the one here)
3) Download the respective ROM zips, Magisk (for root) and Aurora Store.
If you're not downloading LMM, download NanoDroid Patcher (signature spoofing), NanoDroid microG (the microG package)
[Fun fact: If you're using the latest version of Magisk (which you should), rename the APK to "install.zip" to be able to flash it in recovery]
4) Copy the downloaded media to your SD Card (Internal Storage works too)
Stage 2 Option 1: If you have LMM support1) Boot to TWRP or your TWRP fork of choice
2) Go to Wipe; Advanced Wipe; Tick System, Data, Cache, Dalvik and swipe # This will format your ROM + your app data
3) Go back; Install; Search for the Lineage zip.
4) Flash it.
5) Then flash Magisk and reboot.
Stage 2 Option 2: If you don't have LMM support1) Boot to TWRP or your TWRP fork of choice
2) Go to Wipe; Advanced Wipe; Tick System, Data, Cache, Dalvik and swipe # This will format your ROM + your app data
3) Flash LineageOS / your ROM
4) Reboot your system
5) Do the initial setup
-> Check if you have Signature Spoofing support by installing this
-> If there's no Signature Spoofing support:
-> Boot to TWRP
-> Flash NanoDroid Patcher to patch your system
-> Flash NanoDroid microG and Magisk
-> Reboot your system
-> If there is Signature Spoofing support:
-> Boot to TWRP
-> Only flash NanoDroid microG and Magisk
-> Reboot your system
Stage 3: Post-Installation<If you had to patch signature spoofing; check if it works now in the Signature Spoof checker>
1) Open microG settings app. Press Self-Check
2) Make sure no checkboxes are unticked. If they are, tick them
3) Go back; Add an account, do Device Registration and enable Cloud Messaging.
Also configure the location backends if you need location
4) microG setup should be done!
5) Now install Aurora Store, and configure it. (should be simple enough)
6) Grab yourself a good VPN and a nice wallpaper
[-] That's it!

Mrwhosetheboss for pissing me off enough to make this guide
Of course, if I miss anything, do let me know!
Have a solid day

Thank you so much for this\, I was looking to see if we can add some customizations like doubletouch to sleep and adding / customizing some customizing some quick settings tiles

[L09/L19/L29][C432/C185/C636][7.0][EMUI 5.0.1] MagicRainbow v3.0 – European B394 ROM for Huawei P9 EVA
Contributors:
Tecalote
German-Thread:https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/root-custom-roms-modding-fuer-huawei-p9.2808/huawei-p9-rom-android-7-0-emui-5-0-1-magicrainbow-v3-by-tecalote.859343.html
I'm happy to present you my third version of MagicRainbow ROM for P9-EVA
Custom ROM based on European EMUI 5.0.1 Firmware b394
Release-Date: 12. December, 2017
You can flash over Firmware b386+ until b395
- not tested over higher Firmware Versions
Security-Patch-Level: 6. November, 2017 – Krack fixed
Developed on: EVA-L09, tested also on EVA-L19
Data-Files Patches: for EVA-L19c432 and EVA-L19, EVA-L29 cust 185 and cust 636
Data Files for Chinese Brandings – not yet, but possible - just ask
EVA-L09c432 don’t need data file patch – just flash Rom
Advanced-Settings made by KangV from Huawei Rom Team: for b394 - optional flashable
KangV Settings developed on EVA-AL10 – Hide Naviagation Bar don’t work on European Brandings
Current Status: stable
Requirements:
P9 EVA-L09 - EVA-L19 - EVA-L29 - without Provider-Branding
Unlocked Bootloader
Required Firmware: Android 7 b386+ (and higher)
Installed TWRP – I recommend you to use my extended Version of OldDroids TWRP 3.1.1-1
In settings of TWRP ) disable "Keep vendor partition mounted" - but keep the setting as it is: "Exclude OEM Path from data Wipe"
You can flash from Stock Firmware as well as from EMUI based Custom Roms (like MagicRainbow v2, @dkionline ROM and so on)
Installation-Guide:
For clean flashing delete your PINs and Fingerprint(s) in current system
If you have Xposed Framework installed – uninstall it, if you decide to flash dirty
Download the Files you need, copy it to your external SD and boot to TWRP
If you decide to make Nandroid Backup with TWRP or you like to wipe internal storage – do so, but after go back to main menu and "Reboot" RECOVERY – to restart TWRP before flashing steps
If your current system has Root – make Unroot now in TWRP
For SuperSU flash UPDATE-unSU-signed.zip (download from this site): https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63615067
For Magisk flash Magisk-Uninstaller: http://tiny.cc/latestuninstaller
After you have flashed Unroot with TWRP go back to main menu and choose “Reboot” RECOVERY – to restart TWRP
Go to Advanced Wipe – for clean flashing choose: data, cache and dalvik/cache – all other partition will be wiped by the ROM Script
For dirty flashing – wipe only dalvik/cache and cache – but I recommend clean flashing to have best results
Go back to main menu and open “Mount” – uncheck everything except “Micro SD” – Partitions will be mounted by the ROM Script
Now navigate to “Install” and flash MagicRainbow v3
After flashing, don’t wipe Dalvik/Cache again! – If your Phone is EVA-L09c432 you can just reboot now (first start will be until 9 min, if you took SuperSU Edition you have one extra loop)
But if your Phone is EVA-L19 or EVA-L29 – you must doing following step before Reboot Phone:
Go back to main menu, “Reboot” RECOVERY to restart TWRP and then flash the data-files_patch.zip for your Phone (EVA-L09 don’t need this step)
Setup your phone
KangV Advanced Settings:
If you decide to use KangV-Settings, which bring you a lot of customization for your Phone - you can flash the right version for Magisk-Edtition ROM or SuperSU-Edition ROM after setup.
At this Point many thanks to KangV for his great Settings!
If you decide to use another Launcher like Nova – don’t change the Launcher before flashing KangV Advanced Settings (if you like to use this Mod)
The Reboot after flashing KangV Settings needs a bit longer than normal reboot
KangV Settings for Magisk-Edition installs additional KernelAudiutor App. If you open the App you can enable init.d (optional)
If you decide to install Xposed Framework with Magisk-Edition, install it from Modul section of Magisk Manager (SDK 24) – but it will break safetynet!
Safetynet cannot come back “green” once you have Xposed activated on Magisk-Editon, even if you uninstall it – reinstalling ROM brings green safetynet back
With KangV Settings for SuperSU-Edition you can enable in More settings: Xposed Framework. Phone make reboot (start needs bit longer than usual) and you will find on a blank site of homescree the Xposed Installer for download and manager modules. In KangV Settings you can also disable Xposed Framework. So you can switch between enabled and disabled.
Xposed Framework has a FIX to stay activated (this Bug was on several Huawei Phones). The Fix comes together with KangV Settings.
KangV Settings installs additional PMPlus App – you can use it optional, if you like to activate “Auto-Launch” in Phonemanager.
If yes, just open the App PMPlus, go to install and after close the App. Open Phonemanager and you find additional: “Auto-Launch”. But now you must activate Autostarts of Apps manually, otherwise they would not start at boot or in the background. If you decide to use this, it is required to enable Magisk Manager /SuperSU in Auto-Launch– without enabling it to autostart Root cannot work. You must also enable Apps, which should receive Push-Notifications!
If you don’t like do manage everything by yourself, don’t open PMPlus, just uninstall the App with Settings /Apps before using.
The ROM is European, but Advanced Settings are made by KangV. He comes from China, thats why the Lunar component is activated.
To disable chinese letters in statusbar, go to Advanced Settings /Notification settings and disable "Show statusbar lunar"
Important notice:
Don’t use in More settings: “Disable Google Services” – and don’t use “Hide Navigation Bar” in Navigation bar settings. This is working only for Chinese Region.

Download data-files_patches (EVA-L09c432 doesn’t need!!):
Note: In the moment ROM is already flashed - dont reboot system now, if you have another model/cust than L09c432 - go back to main menu and go to Restart - BUT NOT SYSTEM, you must reboot RECOVERY to restart TWRP. Then go again to install and flash the (right) data-files_patch.zip for your device!
If you would flash it directly after ROM without restart TWRP it would not be succesful installed, because the Mountpoints after flashing ROM are busy. Thats why its neccesary to reboot TWRP after ROM Installation and then flash data-files_patch according to your model and cust!

HWOTA zips for updating Stock or going back to Stock
Here is a very easy way going back from MagicRaibow-v3 to original Huawei Firmware with HWOTA.zip - but you have to do it with the right steps!
Note: To go back from MRv3 → to Stock b394, you can use the Download Files and this Guide. For other Firmwareupdates, you find a Guide here. It is described, how you can use this method simple by yourself: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75787156&postcount=3
Credits:
Many thanks to @Atarii for special Recovery - without this it would not possible!
Users can go back from this ROM to original Huawei Firmware with following steps - you dont need Unroot !
You have no risk to test this ROM and can easy go back to Stock. It should work from every Stock based Custom Rom.
It worked also from RROS -> Stock b394
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75155089&postcount=314
It can also be used to upgrade from Stock b386 -> Stock b394
Note:
1) If you had first Stock Firmware b395 - and had installed after MRv3 ROM and want later go back to Stock Firmware - you must use the b395 HWOTA.zip. You cannot directly update to b397 or b398! That would fail! Thats why you use first b395 HWOTA.zip, after b397 HWOTA.zip and at last b398 HWOTA.zip
2) If you had first Stock Firmware b386 - and had installed MRv2 and later directly flashed MRv3 (over MRv2 without updating the Firmware) - you must use the b394 HWOTA.zip. After you can update to b397 and in the next step to b398. You cannot update from b394 directly to b398 - that would fail!
The right steps of flashing HWOTA.zips are dependend on which official Firmware you had installed before using my Rom (or any other).
b386 -> b394 -> b397 -> b398 (b397 and b398 only for L09 and L19 c432 at the moment) or:
b395 -> b397 -> b398
If your bootloader get closed (this is for example the case if you update from b386 to b394) you must reopen the bootloader and then phone makes low-lewel-wipe factoryreset. It is important that this reset is 100% successful - if not, you must perform this kind of reset manually (before delete all your pins, fingerprints and Accounts like Google, WhatsApp, Skype etc:
settings -> advanced settings -> backup & reset -> Factory data reset -> Erase internal storage -> Reset phone (internal storage will be wiped!)
Guide:
0. Make Backup of your stuff and copy folders from internal Storage to a folder on external SD (WhatsApp folder, DCIM, Pictures, Downloads...) Be sure in Developer Options is 1) ADB Debugging in charging mode and 2) USB Debugging enabled and of course 3) OEM Unlock (should be enabled by default if you are using Custom Rom)
1. Download right HWOTA.zip for your Device and Cust - unzipp it on PC - you have now unzipped HWOTA folder
2. Copy unzipped HWOTA folder to the main directory of your EXTERNAL SD (dont place it in subfolders!)
3. HWOTA folder contains 3 Files:
A) Folder with number (it is the correct Number of Firmware-Version) Inside are 3 zipped Firmware-Files - dont touch it, dont unzipp it!
B) EVA_xxx_nocheckrecovery.img
C) hwota_update.zip
4. Boot to TWRP and navigate to the HWOTA folder and flash hwota_update.zip
5. Screen become black and in a view seconds Stock Recovery is flashed and Firmware is loaded
6. EMUI Software Installing installs now the originial Firmware, wait until it is 100% and device will reboot
7. Go to settings /advanced settings/ Backup and restore and do a Factoryreset with wipe of internal Storage
8. Soon Factoryreset is finished and device begin to reboot, press Vol+ on your Phone to boot into Stock Recovery instead of system
9. Make Wipe Cache Partition!
10. Now you have clean original Stock Huawei Firmware and if a OTA is avialable - you can do it without problems (but SIM must be inserted)
Note: During the Upgrade - the Firmware zips inside the unzipped HWOTA folder on external SD will be deleted by Stock Recovery (unzipped folder can be used just onetimes) - if you decide to use it again in another situation keep the downloaded zip....

I couldn't wait and I installed from the DE forum. Dirty Flash on L19C432. Except the bug on K-Settings with left alignment, this is a blazing fast Rom. Thank you very much!

I want to use MagicRainbow with supersu and KanV settings I should download this one right ?
KangV-Settings_MRv3_SuperSuEd: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817906626617953680
I have stock b394 with twrp 3.1.1 and supersu.
Could I make these steps.
- twrp flash unsu
- reboot to twrp
- advanced wipe data, cache and dalvik/cache
- Mount – uncheck everything except “Micro SD”
- Install and flash MagicRainbow v3
reboot

Yes, right
You need this KangV zip in addition for the SuperSU Edition Rom.
The steps are right.
Flash first ROM and wait until it reboot to the system (don't panic - first boot will be canceled by systemless Rooting with SuperSU, after it boots up again and needs maybe 9 minutes to start into EMUI Setup)
After setup you can boot again to TWRP and flash KangV Settings zip.
If you decide to change Huawei Launcher to Nova (or whatever) do it after flashing KangV Settings.
Wish you success and much fun with MagicRainbow

I am new to the huawei scene. I have worked on a lot of samsung projects but this is a completely new world. I have been using your v2 for a week and now cant wait to use v3. Keep up the good work mate.

Came from NewWorld 7, finally on Nougat this rom is fantastic, everything works so far, thank you very much Tecalote.

What's the difference between Magisk and SuperSU? Any major differences that would help? And also, when you have super su that means you can have Xposed? Thank you in advance and for the good rom

Tecalote said:
Yes, right
You need this KangV zip in addition for the SuperSU Edition Rom.
The steps are right.
Flash first ROM and wait until it reboot to the system (don't panic - first boot will be canceled by systemless Rooting with SuperSU, after it boots up again and needs maybe 9 minutes to start into EMUI Setup)
After setup you can boot again to TWRP and flash KangV Settings zip.
If you decide to change Huawei Launcher to Nova (or whatever) do it after flashing KangV Settings.
Wish you success and much fun with MagicRainbow

If you like to use Xposed Framework - take SuperSU Edition and flash after first setup KangV Settings.
It includes a patch for Xposed Framework.
You can enable/disable in KangV Advanced Settings /More Settings /Xposed Framework the Framework.
After enabling it you must reboot and find then Xposed Installer on a blank site of Homescreen. (for download and activate Modules)
Magisk Edition is for green safetynet, without Xposed.
Xposed cannot have green safetynet

On almost Huawei Phones Xposed Framework after reboot is deactivated by itself - it's a Bug on EMUI.
But not in this SuperSU Edition Rom with KangV Settings.
Xposed Framework will stay enabled until you decide to disable it

Can I somehow add used mobile data to notification screen, like it was on NewWorld 7?

Nope, not in the European Firmware Rom.
NewWorld was on Android 6 with Chinese Cust.
It was working in European Regions - but no more in Android 7.
Nougat has more restricted rules and laws.
BTW: It was a part of the Phonemanager like the Permission Manager, which was available on Android 5 in Europe, and in Android 6 which Chinese Rom on European Phones.
It's interesting :
Phonemanager apk is the same on EVA-AL10 - there it has all those features.
But not on our branding.
I found no hack until now - but I am working on it
But otherwise Google Services are not running properly on Chinese Branding
That's difficult...

Magisk Manager Update available (for Magisk Edition)
If you restart Phone or open Magisk Manager may you receive an Update notification in statusbar and the phone vibrates - Magisk show you an Update for the Manager (Version 5.5.0.80). You can open native settings /apps / Magisk Manager /permissions and allow Magisk the permission for storage or you will get the question, if you open Magisk Manager (allow it). After let Magisk Manager download and install the new version.
Changelog see screenshots. After the update I had in advanced options "force encryption" enabled. if you get the same setting automatically, keep this as is

But you can also setup in Phonemanager "mobile data" and open the settings symbol and make there your settings (even possible notification in Statusbar)
After reboot your phone and after a while you receive notifications..
It's not the same than in NewWorld, but similar

my wifi turn off sometimes after the screen goes off. I have the same issue on bluewei with base B394.
L19 model.

Have you flashed the L19 patch for your cust immediately after flashing Rom before first Reboot?
Have you checked different settings?
1) In native settings /WLAN / WLAN+ should be enabled.
2) In settings /Akku right above the settings symbol / WLAN in Standby Mode = always on
(same setting for mobile data =always on)

*MagicRainbow*
Version 4
as usual in two Editions:
Magisk Edition and SuperSU Edition
German Thread: https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/root-custom-roms-modding-fuer-huawei-p9.2808/huawei-p9-rom-android-7-0-emui-5-0-1-magicrainbow-v4-by-tecalote.859343.html
I'm happy to present you my fourth version of MagicRainbow ROM for P9-EVA
Requirements:
P9 EVA-L09 - EVA-L19 - EVA-L29 - without mobile provider branding (like Vodafone)
unlocked Bootloader
minimum official Huawei background firmware b394
TWRP 3.1.1-1 by oldDroid - extended Version: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329067086
Note: In Settings of TWRP on the last Tab disable "keep vendor mounted" but enable "Exclude OEM-Path from data wipe"
Phone must be encrypted because this ROM is based on EMUI (TWRP has encryption support) - if your data partition is decrypted, ROM cannot be installed properly because the script mount your data as encrypted. If you come from EMUI based ROM or official Firmware data is encrypted by default
Developer Options enabled, in these settings enabled OEM-Unlock and: A) ADB Debugging in charging mode - B) USB Debugging (in this order, or it will not stay enabled)
Changelog:
European Firmware b398 based for EVA-L09 - with patch.zips for L19-c432 – L19-c185 – L19-c636 – L29-c636 – L09-c636 – L09-c185 Note: EVA-L09 need no patch, but the other models/cust need this patch immediately after flashing the Rom without Reboot to system - but with reboot of TWRP (for fixing the mountpoints after ROM installing)
Magisk-Edition: Magisk v16 - preinstalled modules (required):SELinux Permissive-Script 1.2 - Busybox 1.28.1 by osmOsis - Huawei Property Fix 1.3 - KernelAudiutorReborn allows to emulate init.d
Safetynet-Workaround look in the description for Magisk
SuperSU-Edition: SuperSU 2.82 SR5 - init.d Support - modified launch_daemonsu.sh for SELinux Permissive - BusyBox 1.28.1 by osmOsis
"Advanced Settings" - made personally by KangV well known as "K-Settings" - ported in MRv4 from chinese Firmware b399 - optional flashable zip separate for SuperSU-Editon and for Magisk-Edition - please support this project in credits section. These settings allow you the maximum of customization. In SuperSU-Edition you can enable in Advanced-Settings /more settings/Xposed Framework last v89 by rovo89 (and of course, a lot of more...)
Note: If you enable Xposed Framework - after reboot (which takes bit longer than usual) you must reboot your phone once again (only one times) and Xposed will be and stay enabled (you can disable Xposed with same settings)
In Magisk-Edition this setting is not active (cause it breaks safetynet)
To disable chinese letters after flashing this mod in statusbar - open Advanced Settings /Notification settings and disable "Show statusbar Lunar"
Known BUG: Dont use "Hide navigation bar" - it works only on chinese Brands.
In Europe you should not use: "Disable Google Services"
Note: Do not change DPI in developer options (this can brick your device) if you use KangV Settings - change DPI only with KangV Advanced Settings!
Note: Do not flash KangV-Settings before first reboot to System. You can do it after first setup, but dont change the EMUI Launcher to alternative Launcher (example: Nova Launcher) before you have flashed KangV-Settings (if you decide to use KangV Mod)
With KangV Advanced Settings PMPlusApp will be installed (this App dont work on Stock Roms) With PMPlus you can enable in Phonemanager (on second page) the feature: Auto-Launch It is a powerful Autostart-Manager (which can help you also to save battery) that gives you full auto launch control over all Apps - but you must manually allow them to start automatically or not, on boot or in the background.
Note: If you enable this mod - you must enable important Apps into auto launch, example: Magisk Manager /SuperSU must be enabled in "Auto Launch" - and additional in Secondary launch management!, if not you cannot manage Root-Requests! WhatsApp, Viber, Telegram - all these apps you must enable in "Auto Launch" or they do not work properly. Some Apps like Amazon needs also an extra setting in "Auto Launch, called "App secondary launch" (this will only be displayed if you use apps that need it)
To enable this mod open PMPlus, use install button, soon it is succesful installed - close PMPlus and uninstall this App. After open Phone Manager and on second page you will find "Auto Launch"
Note: This mod is not uninstall able, once enabled!
Both Edition of MRv4-ROM have modified services.jar - the maximum of acces to external SD is enabled (TitaniumBackup dont neeed "DocumentProvider" but can use Filesystem storage - Ext. SD Card)
App-Twin: more apps than usual are enabled for cloning (WhatsApp, Telegram, Skype and a lot of more...)
Only the main Google (Core) Apps are installed in system, all others are installed so that they can be uninstalled via Settings /Apps. Same with added Apps - all of them uninstall able via Settings /Apps. If you need more Google Apps you can install them with Playstore (dont flash any GApps)
Added: Facebook Lite and Skype Lite (both can work in 2G/3G and 4G and saves a lot of battery
VIPER4AndroidFX and Dolby/Atmos with preinstalled Driver
Some beautiful Designs included: IOS11 - Sky Blue - Galaxya - XDA Exklusive - AegeanSea - Blue Pixel - Mate 10 (Mountains)
Security-Patch-Level: 01.02.2018
Installation-Guide:
1) Your official Huawei Background-Firmware must be updated to minimal b394 (which is available for all models/cust) - for updating use please my Post from MRv3 #3: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74913874&postcount=3
Note: Your Fingerprint HWEVA/xxx/xxx:user/release-keys (which you can see with apps like "My Device") on MagicRainbow v3 will show you ...b394 - but that does not mean your background official Firmware is b394 ! You see this information, because MagicRainbow v3 is based on b394 same as MagicRainbow v4 is based on b398.
But important is - which build was your last official Firmware. For example: If you had flashed MRv3 over MRv2 (which was based on b386) your background Firmware is b386 ! And this Firmware is too old and cannot be compatible with the Custom ROM MagicRainbow v4 which is based on b398. Custom ROM and Background Firmware should be similar the same build. Personally, I always update first to the last available firmware for my device before flashing my own Custom Rom
But if you have updated your Firmware to b394 - before you have installed MagicRainbow v3 - or if you come right now from Stock Firmware b394, b395, b397... then there is no need to update the firmware now and you can flash the MagicRainbow v4 directly - but with Unroot (if your Phone is rooted) AND with the neccesary wipes!
2) Before update your Firmware (or for clean flash) you must backup your apps and data (you can use Huawei Backup and/or TitaniumBackup - in every case make backup only from user-apps and not from system apps/components)
Backup also the important folders from your internal storage (WhatsApp folder, DCIM and so on...) - and copy them back to internal storage after updating the Firmware...
For Chat/Net-Call Apps like Viber, WhatsApp use inside Chat-Backup on GoogleDrive. If you reinstall these apps and registrate them new with your phone number, backup will be found automatically and you are able to restore chat-history.
3) For the next steps I now assume that your firmware is up to date Download now all Files you need - ROM.zip - patch.zip (if you need it for different cust/model than EVA-L09c432) - KangV-Settings.zip and copy it to your external SD.
4) Delete on your Phone your Fingerprint(s) and PIN(s)
5) If your device has Root - flash Unroot with TWRP - for Magisk: http://tiny.cc/latestuninstaller - for SuperSU flash UPDATE-unSU-signed.zip from this site: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63615067
6) Go back to main menu in TWRP and use WIPE /Advanced Wipe - for clean flash wipe: Dalvik/ART-Cache, Cache, data, system, vendor - for dirty flash exclude: data from wipe
7) Flash ROM - next step (8) is only important if you have another model/cust than EVA-L09c432
8) If you have another (like L19c432, L29c636.....) - you must REBOOT TWRP now (TWRP /Reboot /RECOVERY) - dont reboot to system! After TWRP is rebooted, go to install and flash the RIGHT patch.zip which match your model/cust. (EVA-L09c432 dont need this step.) In every case: no need to wipe Dalvik/Cache after the flashings
9) Reboot phone (first start needs about 10 minutes) - dont flash KangV Settings before first Reboot to system
10) Setup your Phone - disable "send systemdata to Google" (save battery)
11) Disable “automatic system updates” in developer options (save battery)
Safetynet-Workaround in Magisk-Edition:
1) If you made clean flash - during first setup at the point you enable your Google Account - disable "sending system-data"
2) After first setup safetynet check with Magisk Manager will show you - ctsProfile and basicIntegrity=false - so dont check now :laugh:
3) Enable Developer Options and in these settings enable A) ADB Debugging in charging mode - B) USB Debugging (in this order, or it will not stay enabled)
4) Reboot your Phone - after reboot, cts-profile and basicIntegrity=true
- Now we go to make Playstore certified:
5) Open Playstore and disable Play Protect
6) SET YOUR PHONE INTO FLIGHT-MODE!
7) Open native settings /apps and (right down) more: Show system processes - click on every following app and delete in storage-section: cache and data (some of them show you: manage space - in this case use "Delete all data"):
Google App
Google Play services for Instant Apps
Google Playstore
Google Play-Services
Google Services Framework
Huawei ID or Huawei Mobile Services (which is the same)
8) Reboot your Phone
9) If you get a message after Restart "Your backup-account is not set yet" - DONT enable it now!
10) DISABLE FLIGHT-MODE NOW - and wait until you have full network-access (open Browser for testing)
11) Now you can enable your backup-account (message is shown in statusbar)
12) Open Playstore - If you are facing a problem when you open Playstore (showing just a blank site) - open Settings /Apps /Playstore /storage - but this time wipe only Cache inside, after Reboot your Phone. Soon P9 is restartet, Playstore should work proberly and it should be certified
13) If you are using Apps (like banking apps and so on) which requires safetynet - enable them in Magisk Hide - BEFORE you start these apps first time - after reboot phone and then you can start these apps first time.
Note: If you did all these steps and ctsProfile /or basicIntegrity is false (red) - one User of this Rom (L19c432) found a trick which solved his issue: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75796309&postcount=595
14) If you use in Phonemanager "Auto-Lauch" (enabled with PMPlus - see description KangV Advanced settings) - you must enable Magisk-Manager in Auto-Launch and in Secondary launch management!
15) You can update to newest Magisk 16.1 using following method: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75845280&postcount=87

Note: A very required point is - If you have another model/cust than EVA-L09-C432 and you must flash Patch.zip do it with following steps:
1) After flashing Rom - go back to main menu of TWRP, go to Restart /but NOT system - Restart RECOVERY
2) Then flash patch.zip and after reboot Phone first time. If you don't restart Recovery between, patch will not installed properly and some apps may not work then.
Information: I have decided to make new patch.zips because there are problems with safetynet (in the Magisk Edition). Once these are done, I will post the new links here.

Credits:
All Credits go to @Atarii for his special EMUI-Recovery for P9 EVA (L09 / L19 /L29). Users had reported, it is working also on P9+ VIE (L09 / L29) - but it will not work on other devices. Following method is based on this modified EMUI-Recovery.
Thanks to @zgfg He inspired me to do this post.
This Guide show you how to go back from Custom ROM to original Huawei EMUI Firmware. You can use this method also for updating/downgrade your Firmware - but only on Android 7. Also users of Lineage OS or RROS can use this method to return to Stock Firmware.
It can not be used for downgrade to Android 6 /or upgrade to Android 7 (this can brick your device) and it will not debrand your device!
Requirements: Unlocked Bootloader, installed TWRP, inserted SD Card (ExFat filesystem format recommended) -
Enable Developer Options and inside enable first ADB Debugging in charging mode and then USB Debugging - OEM Unlock must also be enabled!
Do a backup as usual if you change your system to another (Backup your Apps /data and also data from internal storage!)
Follow the steps on the instructions!
Not required: Root
Required: I would recommend to UNROOT your device before flashing the Firmware-Update and you should delete your Fingerprint /PIN /Password
How it works:
1) First you need one of those zip files (depended to your device):
Download HWOTA.zip for P9 and P9+ EVA/VIE-L09: [url]https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754474573[/URL]
md5: 98e141ca6d6ccc262d22288490a5eeea
Download HWOTA.zip for P9 EVA-L19: [url]https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754474574[/URL]
md5: e90b5b4d14d9808bb0626dbd77bb452f
Download HWOTA.zip for P9 and P9+ EVA/VIE-L29: [url]https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673956719939834215[/URL]
md5: 5fad3c1971c45ad7b9a72ab2e8cc9404
2) Unzipp the HWOTA.zip on your PC - HWOTA folder contains 2 Files:
L(xx)_Recovery.img
(dependend to your device for example: L09_Recovery.img)
HWOTAUpdateSCRIPT.zip
3) Do not use internal Storage of your Phone! Create a folder in the main directory of your EXTERNAL SD with the name: HWOTA
4) Copy L(xx)_Recovery.img and HWOTAUpdateSCRIPT.zip into the HWOTA folder on your external SD.
5) Search for the correct FullOTA-MF Firmware for your Device /Cust and download the 3 firmware zip files. See Guide below...
6) Copy the 3 Firmware zip files into the HWOTA folder on your external SD:
update.zip
update_data_full_public.zip(The third zip file has different names dependend to your device: update_full_EVA-L09_hw_eu.zip / update_full_EVA-L19_hw_eu.zip / update_full_EVA-L19_hw_meafnaf.zip / update_full_EVA-L29_hw_spcseas.zip...) - Rename only this third zip file to the general name:
update_full_hw.zip
6) Your HWOTA folder on the external SD is now prepared!
7) Disconnect USB cable from your P9
8) Boot to TWRP and from HWOTA folder flash only: HWOTAUpdateSCRIPT.zip
9) The phone reboots to EMUI recovery and automatically installs the firmware. After 57% it takes a while, do not worry. As soon as the update has been performed 100%, the system will be restarted
10) Open settings /advanced settings/ Backup and restore and do a data Factoryreset with wipe of internal Storage
11) Once the factory reset is 100% in EMUI recovery, the phone restarts. At this moment, press the VOL + key until the EMUI Recovery boots again
12) Do Wipe Cache Partition and Reboot to System
13) Look into settings /about phone and enjoy - and if you want to stay on original firmware, now everything is done.
14) On some Firmwares the Bootloader will get closed - in case you want to open Bootloader again, enable Developer options and open them. First enable "Allow ADB Debugging in charge only mode" and then "USB Debugging" (in this order USB Debugging stays enabled) and very important: Enable "OEM Unlock". Enter your Unlock Code with ADB in Fastboot Mode. Let the phone doing the low-lewel-wipe and do not disconnect the Phone from USB, the wipe should be done with 100% (important)- if not: open settings /Advanced settings /Backup & reset /Factory data reset with enabled "erase internal storage"
15) To flash TWRP, enable Developer Options again / OEM Unlock is enabled (but greyed out) /enable ADB Debugging and USB Debugging and then flash TWRP in Fastboot Mode.
16) Enjoy
How to find the Firmware:
A) You can not use FullOTA-MF-PV or OTA-MF - you can use only FullOTA-MF firmware for this method.
The firmware for your device consists only of three zip files. But the differnt possibilities for downloading the firmware can show you four / sometimes five zip files if the Build is made for two or three models. For example for L09 /L19 and L29 or for L09 and L19.
You need in every case update.zip and update_data_full_public.zip and third zip must match your device - and you have to rename it:
Examples:
If you own L09-c432 you choose update_full_EVA-L09_hw_eu.zip - and rename this update_full_hw.zip
If you own L19-c432 you choose update_full_EVA-L19_hw_eu.zip - and rename this: update_full_hw.zip
If you own L19-c185 you choose update_full_EVA-L19_hw_meafnaf.zip - and rename this: update_full_hw.zip
If you own L19-c636 you choose update_full_EVA-L29_hw_spcseas.zip- and rename this: update_full_hw.zip
B) For searching your firmware you enter always model name and cust version from your device - for example:
EVA-L09C432 or EVA-L19C432 or EVA-L19C185 or EVA-L29C636 ....
Note: You can not install L19c636 Firmware if you own a L09c432 device ....
C) Which Firmware should I use?
For the users of MagicRainbow v4 I recommend to use the firmware that was installed before MRv4. Same for the users of MagicRainbow v3.
From there you can update if necessary.
Note: There can not be any impossible "version jumps". For example, it is not possible to update from b386 directly to b398. Firmwares depend on prerequisite versions. For example with EVA-L09c432 you can switch from b386 to b394 and then: b397 -> b398 -> b399. It is recommended to use approved versions, otherwise Playstore is not certified. For example, EVA-L09c432 currently has the rollout b399 - that means, the firmware is approved.
If you do not succeed in updating with this method, then you have done something wrong, or the download of the zip files is buggy, or the version did not fit. Nothing bad can happen if an update fails, but TWRP must be reinstalled. Then you can try it with a different version that fits your firmware. But you can not use firmware that does not match your model /cust - this can brick your device!
D) There are three ways to download the firmware and it is up to you, which you use of it
1. Firmware Finder - Android App on Playstore:[url]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teammt.gmanrainy.huaweifirmwarefinder&hl=us[/URL]
2. Direct Link: [url]http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=EVA-L09C432&firmware_page=0[/URL]
3. Firmware Finder for PC: [url]https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146[/URL]

Instructions for v4 have that new section Playstore Certified but Magisk Hide section (from v3 Instructions) are omitted - Magisk Hide is no more needed?
Maybe you can also copy/paste the Statusbar Lunar note for K-Settings (if Chinese letters still persist).
In case of installing from L09 c432 b394 -> MR v3, upon going back to stock b394 (by HWOTA), is it necessary to update in two steps b397 -> b398 or it can be flashed only one HWOTA for L09 c432 b398.

You just enable Apps which requires safetynet (Banking Apps and so on) in Magisk Hide and reboot phone before you start these Apps first time.
Direct update from b394 to b398 didn't work for me and I got problems to update after trying the short way.
L09 c432 b394 -> MR v3 - going back to stock b394 (by HWOTA), then b397 then -> b398!
Statusbar Lunar note for K-Settings is included in description of KangV Settings

Huawei P9 Custom RomSafetynet-Workaround in Magisk-Edition:
1) If you made clean flash - during first setup at the point you enable your Google Account - disable "sending system-data"
2) After first setup safetynet check with Magisk Manager will show you - ctsProfile and basicIntegrity=false - so dont check now :laugh:
3) Enable Developer Options and in these settings enable A) ADB Debugging in charging mode - B) USB Debugging (in this order, or it will not stay enabled)
4) Reboot your Phone - after reboot, cts-profile and basicIntegrity=true
- Now we go to make Playstore certified:
5) SET YOUR PHONE INTO FLIGHT-MODE!
6) Open native settings /apps and (right down) more: Show system processes - click on every following app and delete in storage-section: cache and data (some of them show you: manage space - in this case also DELETE ALL DATA):
Google App
Google Play services for Instant Apps
Google Playstore
Google Play-Services
Google Services Framework
Huawei ID or Huawei Mobile Services (which is the same)
7) Reboot your Phone
- if you get a message "Your backup-account is not set yet" - DONT enable it now!
8) DISABLE FLIGHT-MODE NOW - and wait until you have full network-access (open Browser for testing)
9) Now you can enable your backup-account (message is shown in statusbar)
10) Open Playstore - it is certified
11) If you are using Apps (like banking apps and so on) which requires safetynet - enable them in Magisk Hide - BEFORE you start these apps first time - after reboot phone and then you can start these apps first time.

I made it and Play Store stoped working. It searching updates for years and nothing else happen.
And second case. After clean flash via TWRP I lost TWRP and had to reflash it again. Is it normal?

Playstore must just create new cache. Just open settings /apps and wipe in storage only cache at this point.
Reboot phone and it should work again.
Normally you loose not TWRP with clean flash. I never heard this.
But if you wipe internal storage included in the wipes you loose normally settings of TWRP.
That's why I do a wipe if internal storage with an extra step and reboot Recovery between the next wipes.

I answered here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75780638&postcount=557
You said your model is L19c185 and last official Firmware was b387.
In this case you must first update to b394 - after to b396 (you can't go directly to b396, it would fail)
The downloads and the Guide how to do you will find here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74913874&postcount=3
Be careful to download the right two zips.
I wish you success
Note: b396 is latest official Firmware for your device.
After it is installed (with factory reset and wipe of internal storage from settings) you can flash MRv4 (read Guide before)

I think b394 should be okay.
On L09 it is also working to update from b386 to b394

Hi a small question, once I have returned from MRv3 to stock. I am assuming that TWRP will need to be re-flashed! Is this correct?

Yes, that's correct - because the Update flash Stock Recovery (without no update possible)
After Update reflash of TWRP is necessary.
But sometimes Bootloader get closed and in this case unlock Bootloader is required..

!DISCLAIMER!
Most people I know (including myself) who used my Guides and steps, did that with success many times. If you don't follow exactly the steps or you do a mistake during the process, I do not take any responsibility for any unexpected results or damage that may happen. However I am here to help if something goes wrong, just ask in the thread.
AMD RYZEN/INTEL FASTBOOT FIX
Some AMD Ryzen or Intel Systems may have problems to recognize your device in fastboot. Try the following ways:
1. Install Fastboot Drivers (Extract the folder for windows 10) at Device Manager while your device is connected in Fastboot mode.
2. Download this .bat file (unzip it) or manually create a .bat file with these lines below, and run it as an administrator, then reboot:
Code:
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\18D1D00D0100" /v "osvc" /t REG_BINARY /d "0000" /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\18D1D00D0100" /v "SkipContainerIdQuery" /t REG_BINARY /d "01000000" /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\18D1D00D0100" /v "SkipBOSDescriptorQuery" /t REG_BINARY /d "01000000" /f
3. Enable USB Debugging at device (Settings > Additional settings > Developer options > USB Debugging) and give authorization after connecting it to PC.
4. Use USB Hub.
5. Use USB Type-A 2.0.
6. Install AMD Ryzen Chipset Drivers or Intel Chipset Drivers.
Check the steps an another user did to make it work here.
If this doesn't help, unfortunately you have to use Intel System which is more likely to work.
UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
Note: Some AMD Ryzen Systems may have problems to recognize your device in fastboot. [Read the AMD Fastboot Fix Guide above]
Please keep in mind by Unlocking Bootloader the device will reset and all your data will be lost. Make a backup of your data first to PC or to USB.
1. Create a Mi account on Xiaomi’s website.
2. Add a phone number to your Mi account.
3. Insert a SIM into your phone (If you haven't added already). [Do not insert 2 SIM, only 1 until the Bootloader is unlocked. If you have 2 SIM into your phone, remove 1 and reboot.]
4. Enable developer options in Settings > About Phone by repeatedly tapping (7 times) on MIUI Version.
5. Link the device to your Mi account in Settings > Additional settings > Developer options > Mi Unlock status. Also enable USB Debugging.
6. Download the Mi Unlock app (Windows is required to run the app).
7. Run the Mi Unlock app and follow the instructions provided by the app.
8. Reboot your device into Fastboot mode. For that simply turn off your device, press the Power Button + Volume Down (–) button at the same time. Then connect the device to the Windows PC/laptop via a micro USB cable.
9. After device and Mi account are successfully verified, the Bootloader should be Unlocked and your device will restart by itself.
INSTALL CUSTOM RECOVERY
Fastboot Method (No Custom Recovery currently installed)
Note: Some AMD Ryzen Systems may have problems to recognize your device in fastboot. [Read the AMD Fastboot Fix Guide above]
1. Make sure your Bootloader is Unlocked.
2. Enable developer options in Settings > About Phone by repeatedly tapping (7 times) on MIUI Version.
3. Enable USB Debugging in Settings > Additional settings > Developer options > USB Debugging.
4. Download a custom recovery of your choice and copy the .img to your Internal Storage or to SDCard. [You can find a recovery of your choice in my Collection]
5. Download the portable Minimal ADB and Fastboot and run cmd.exe
6. Reboot to Fastboot mode by pressing Power Button + Volume Down (–) and keep holding both buttons until the word “FASTBOOT” appears on the screen, then release.
7. Once the device is in Fastboot mode, connect your device to PC and verify you can find it by typying in cmd: fastboot devices.
8. Boot into Recovery by typing in cmd: fastboot boot <recovery_filename>.img (The file may not be named identically to what stands in this command, so adjust accordingly and write the full path of it, check the example below).
This command will not flash permantly the recovery, it will just temporary boot into it and afterwards you will flash permantly the twrp.img you copied into your Internal Storage or SDcard in recovery partition.
For example:
Code:
fastboot boot C:\Users\Retrial\Desktop\twrp-beryllium-v3.7.0-A12-V2.img
9. Now into TWRP, press Install > Install Image > Locate & Select the twrp.img you previously downloaded and copied from PC into your Internal Storage or to your SDcard > Choose Recovery and Flash!
10. Go back into Home page of TWRP and press Reboot to Recovery or manually by holding Power Button + Volume Up (+) until you boot to Recovery.
11. Done! You now have a new Custom Recovery installed.
Recovery Method (Custom Recovery already installed or booted)
1. Download a custom recovery of your choice. [You can find a recovery of your choice in my Collection]
2. Reboot to Recovery by holding Power Button + Volume Up (+).
3. Press Install > Install Image.
4. Locate the recovery.img you recently downloaded.
5. Select it and choose the option Recovery and Flash.
6. Go back and Reboot to Recovery.
7. Done! Your new recovery should be installed.
CLEAN INSTALL CUSTOM ROM
Note: If you have issues after flash check possible solutions here:
Check integrity of all downloads (compare checksums), do the downloads again.
Make sure you Wiped everything and Formated Data (format data not just wipe) except external SDCard and USB OTG.
Flash only the ROM (without GApps and Magisk) and check if the problem persists. If yes, flash another ROM.
Try other GApps package.
If nothing helps, go back to stock and start from scratch.
Note: You can also Flash Custom ROM using ADB sideload Method.

Each app on your phone with the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission may create files or folders in ur sdcard. Most of these folders have once been created by one of these apps and many of them may be deleted with a few exceptions (e.g. Android, .data, .android_secure, these contain important system or app data like a game's downloaded content):
.android_secure: apps installed and then moved to sdcard
Android: app data/cache
data: app data
.estrongs: ES file manager
LOST.DIR: sort of trash folder (collects recovered files after phone crashes)
DCIM: phone gallery's photos and previews
OTA-update: Over The Air update service
ppy_cross: an unknown third-party app's data.
So I recommend to delete them so you can put your phone/sdcard in a clean state and is guaranteed to be able to re-create these folders.
Select Advanced Wipe
Select Dalvik / ART Cache, System, System_Ext, Data, Internal Storage, Vendor, Cache and then Swipe to Wipe. [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]
Go back > Press Reboot > Reboot to Recovery again. [That step needed for the next step of formating the data because TWRP by REIGNZ have issue]
Go back and select Wipe > Format Data > type yes [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]
Flash ROM > GApps [Optional]
[Optional] Mount Vendor and Flash DFE [Optional - Not Recommended] or Encryption [Optional] (Read DFE & Encryption Guide above)
Reboot Enjoy!
[Optional] If you want to root, reboot once again to TWRP Recovery and flash Magisk then reboot to system and enjoy!
DIRTY INSTALL YOUR CUSTOM ROM
Note: Before you start flashing, keep in mind the ROM you dirty flashing MUST be the same with the one you have already installed.
1. Make a full nandroid backup, just in case something goes wrong. You can use TWRP to do that. (TWRP > Backup > Select everything) [Optional]
2. Remove all Magisk modules. [Optional]
3. Reboot to TWRP and Wipe Dalvik / ART Cache, System, System_Ext, Vendor, Cache.
4. Flash the ROM > GApps [Optional] > Magisk [Optional]
5. [Optional] Mount Vendor and Flash DFE [Optional - Not Recommended] or Encryption [Optional] (Read DFE & Encryption Guide above)
6. Reboot and Enjoy!
I've skipped some explanations, because if you are going to dirty flash, you already know for example how to boot to TWRP.
CLEAN INSTALL OFFICIAL STOCK MIUI ROM & RELOCK BOOTLOADER
Note: Some AMD Ryzen or Intel Systems may have problems to recognize your device in fastboot. [Read the AMD Ryzen/Intel Fastboot Fix Guide above]
1. Backup all your data to PC or to external SDCard, if it's possible. [All your data into Internal Storage will be lost]

MAGISK ROOT
The easiest way to root your device is via Magisk, it should work in all ROMs, Stock and Customs.
Install Magisk:
1. Install latest TWRP Recovery. [Read the Install Custom Recovery Guide above]2. Download the Magisk [You can find it in my Collection]3. Reboot to TWRP Recovery by pressing Power Button + Volume Up (+) and flash it.4. Reboot and check whether the Magisk app is installed. If it isn’t installed automatically, manually install the APK. [You can find it in my Collection]Note#1: From Official TWRP Recovery 3.5.1 and onwards (and other recoveries based on that), Magisk.apk can be flashed as apk without the need of rename it to .zip. So you can simply flash the Magisk.apk in TWRP.Manually Creation of Flashable Zip:Download the latest Magisk APK and rename the Magisk.apk → Magisk.zip.Note#2: If your bank apps detect root, follow this Guide.
Uninstall Magisk:
Flash the Uninstall.zip in TWRP Recovery and reboot. [You can find it my Collection]
If Magisk App isn’t uninstalled automatically, manually uninstall the app.
Manually creation of Flashable Uninstall Zip:
Download the latest Magisk APK and rename the Magisk.apk → uninstall.zip
Uninstall Magisk directly through the Magisk app. Simply press the Uninstall button.
Note: If your apps detect root, follow this Guide (or this) to pass SafetyNet and have certified Play Store. [YouTube Video Guide]
DISABLE FORCE ENCRYPTION (DFE) & ENCRYPTION
[You can find it in my Collection]
Disable Force Encryption
Disable Force Encryption (a.k.a DFE) is flashed during installation of a custom ROM to avoid the system encrypting /data partition when the devices boot for the first time.Some ROMs are not encrypted by default and so is not necessary to flash DFE. However if your ROM comes with encryption by default you can always flash DFE after clean installation of ROM and always after every update or flash or you can use any custom recovery like OrangeFox, Pitchblack, Skyhawk Recovery Project which can automatic flash DFE after every flash.I don't recommended to use DFE if you don't switch ROMs frequently and you are casual user. Beside the fact that if you lose your device your data are not protected, many people get in confusion while doing OTA or manually updates, which if the ROM is encrypted by default and flashed DFE and in next update you forget to flash DFE you will lock out from your data and you wil get into bootloop (use custom recoveries mentioned above to avoid that).
Encryption
Encrypted ROMs are recommended if you are stable and casual user of a ROM. Encryption have the benefit to protect your data, in case you lose your device for example. Always use the latest TWRP Recovery so you can be able to decrypt the data by filling the same lock screen password you have set in ROM.Some ROMs are not encrypted by default but devs provide an Encryption.zip (script) which can encrypt the ROM. Same as DFE you need to flash it after clean installation of ROM and always after every update to stay encrypted and not get into bootloop. Unfortunatly there is not any custom recovery automatic doing that like with DFE, so you must be careful, avoid doing OTA updates and flash it every time you manually update a ROM.

BATTERY TIPS
Xiaomi POCOPHONE F1 Battery Model: BM4E
Battery Replacment (Video)
Recommended Battery: NOHON for POCO F1 (AliExpress)
Advanced Guide
Simple Battery & Charging Tips
Improve your SOT
Battery Calibration
Method 1
Steps:
1. Discharge your phone fully until it turns itself off.
2. Turn it on again and let it turn itself off.
3. Plug your phone into a charger and, without turning it on, let it charge until the on-screen or LED indicator says 100 percent.
4. Turn your phone on. It's likely that the battery indicator won't say 100 percent, so plug the charger back in (leave your phone on) and continue charging until it says 100 percent on-screen as well.
5. Unplug your phone and restart it. If it doesn't say 100 percent, plug the charger back in until it says 100 percent on screen.
6. Repeat this cycle until it says 100 percent (or as close as you think it's going to get) when you start it up without it being plugged in.
Method 2
Notes: It won't dramatically extend battery life, but it will give your old battery at least 30 minutes additional run time.
Steps:
1. Get "GSam or Ampere" from the Google Play Store.
2. Launch the app and fully charge your phone. (Important: Only proceed with the calibration when the word "Full" appears in GSam or Ampere.)
3. While your phone is still connected to the cable reboot your phone to recovery mode, open file manager and navigate to "/data/system" and delete "batterystats.bin," "batterystats-checkin.bin," and "batterystats-daily.xml."
4. Reboot your phone (while it is still plugged in) and charge it until it reads "full" on GSam or Ampere.
5. Unplug the cable and use your phone normally until it shuts down (0 percent )
6. Charge your phone to 100% while it is turned off.
7. Boot into os and plug in your phone and charge it until it says "full" on the GSam or Ampere.
8. Unplug and have fun!
Battery Capacity Health
Notes:
1) Before checking the battery health, charge the device to 100%.
2) Check charge counter values and consider first 4 digits from left as your battery capacity in mAh. And check charge counter. (Charge counter/level)*100 is the battery capacity.
To find battery capacity in Windows:
Enable Developer options in your device.
Enable USB Debugging in your device.
Conect your device to PC and give permissions.
Open Minimal ADB (run cmd.exe) or Platform tools.
Type "adb shell dumpsys battery" command in Minimal ADB or Platform tools.
To find battery capacity in Android (Terminal) - Root needed:
Download an android terminal app like Termux,
Open terminal and type: cat/sys/class/power_supply/battery/charge_full
Overheating
Following reasons will lead to device heating issue:
During the initial setup after purchase or when restoring data.
Downloading large files.
Using apps that require more power or using apps for extended periods such as:
Playing high-quality games for long time.
Recording videos for extended periods.
Streaming videos while using the maximum brightness setting.
Using the Screen Mirroring / Smart View feature (connecting mobile to a TV).
While multitasking or when running many apps in the background i.e:
Using Multi window.
Updating or installing apps while recording videos.
Downloading large files during a video call.
Recording videos while using a navigation app.
Large amount of data for syncing with the cloud, email, or other accounts.
Exposing device under sunlight when temperature is high around you.
Extensive usage of mobile hotspot and tethering feature.
Using device in areas with weak signals or no reception or in roaming network.
Charging the battery with a damaged / unapproved USB cable.
Device's multipurpose jack is damaged or exposed to foreign materials, such as liquid, dust, metal powder, and pencil lead.
Solution:
Turn off Wi-fi, GPS , bluetooth and other connectivity options when not in use by dragging the notification panel.
Decrease screen brightness.
Close background running applications.
Too many applications installed in device may result in device heating since their corresponding process will keep on running in background. It is advised to uninstall un-necessary apps if not using them.
Avoid using apps like GPS, data dependent apps or graphic intensive games for longer duration since they require more energy to function, causing device to heat.
It is advised not to use device while charging as it may cause the device to over heat.
General:
DO:
Use manual brightness or dim the screen.
Turn off notifications for apps you don't use. Better still, delete/disable the apps entirely if you don't need them.
Enable battery or power saving mode when you want to extend your battery life.
Use the power adapter that came with your phone. Other chargers can charge slowly/faster but they can also damage your phone or battery.
Turn off bluetooth, location tracking, and Wi-Fi (unless you are actively using it)
Turn off print services from bluetooth connection preferences.
Avoid extremes of heat and cold. If your phone gets very hot or cold it can strain the battery and shorten it's lifespan.
DON'T:
Have Bluetooth or Wi-Fi turned on constantly.
Leave apps running in the background. Instead restrict background usage off apps that you don't need running.
Push email means your device is always listening for new email which drains alot of battery.
Drain your phone battery all the way to 0% or charging it all the way to 100%. Keep it between 20% - 90% for longer battery lifespan.
The more advanced the graphics and animations are (games, videos, photos, animations), the harder the processor and graphics chip in your smartphone have to work. More activity means more battery use.

ShutUP10++ , Privacy.Sexy: Disable major tracking features of Windows.
General:
Always prefer Open Source or well popular Programs, Apps, ROMs, Kernels & Stuff.
Open Source doesn't mean it's 100% safe but it's unlikely to have something suspicious, since you and other users can check the code in GitHub or in any other code hosting platform the "stuff" is hosted. You can also find and use FOSS apps at F-Droid or at Droid-ify (Recommended).
Prefer ROMs & Kernels with SELinux Enforcing. You can find informations here.
Always download and install Apps, Programs, ROMs & Stuff from official sources and do not use redirection links from different sites. Google is your friend to find the official source of the stuff you want.
Always check the permissions an app requires, before download and install it to your device. If an app ask for permissions which has nothing to do with the app functionality then it's should be reconsider or ask the developer why these permissions needed.
You can also check if the app includes trackers and ads with εxodus.
If you want to avoid Google and Play Store (De-Google), you can choose a ROM without GApps preinstalled like LineageOS and use Droid-ify client which is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device. Note that not all apps from Play Store will be available in Droid-ify or F-Droid. Only Open Source projects. You can find alternatives though.
Alternative you can use LineageOS for microG or any ROM which support signature spoofing and can support microG and use Aurora Store.
For Windows use the default Windows Defender & Malwarebytes to scan your files whenever you want (Prefered before open or install them). Also use the addon/extension uBlock Origin in your Browser. These should be enough for normal users. You can also use the tool ShutUP10++ or Privacy.Sexy to disable major tracking features of Windows.
For Android Do not use any antivirus - antimalware since it's useless, just check what apps and from where you installing.
Always verify the source of addons/extensions in your browser. Avoid installing random and unpopular addons/extensions. Keep it minimal and clean, so browser can be fast and safe, no need bunch of extensions.
If you are using VPN, always check the terms and rules of the provider. Avoid random VPN Services.
Recommended VPN Services.
Using a VPN will not keep your browsing habits anonymous, nor will it add additional security to non-secure (HTTP) traffic.
Recommended is to encrypt your data/files always before uploading them to cloud with tools like Cryptomator.
Always use unique and strong passwords for each of your accounts.
Use awarded open source Password Managers like KeePass or KeePassXC for Desktop and KeePassDX for Android to manage your passwords and have them with you safe, encrypted and secure. Must be noted you can use the same database file between these programs.
Always enable 2 Step Authentication wherever is available for your accounts.
You can use apps like Aegis Authenticator.
Do not open or click on links attached in unknown emails or SMS you may get. Always check the address of the email or the number of SMS and verify it's legit from the official source.
Create and use "burned" email for accounts/sites you have concerns but you definitely want to try them. Do not use your personal or business email. You can also create and use email aliases of your email with SimpleLogin which is open source and awesome service.

Try to do factory reset (firstly save all your personal data to PC or to external SDCard). 12.0.2 and general all the latest miui updates are full of bugs and slow down your device. Also the chances to get new android version in miui are very low. I will not talk about security and tracking.
I recommended you to move away from miui and use a custom rom of your choice. :fingers-crossed:

Awesome thread, everything at one place. Thanks man.

You have gathered so much collective information at one place. It will be helpful if we found which Roms are from Pixel Ports and supports Google photos free unlimited high quality storage.

OP, this is a godsend! Thank you so so much. Any idea what settings I should be using for the most "pixel like" photos on parrots gcam?

Yes new pixel phones will not have this advantage. (New pixel phones which ain't even launched yet)
But we have some roms which are ported from existing pixel phones like Pixel 3 and Pixel 4.
I got to know that Awaken OS based on Android 11 is detecting as Pixel 4 in Google photos. I'm not sure, I personally didn't install it yet.
I'm sure about some Roms and Ports like Pixel Rom and Pixel 4 xl ports are obviously detecting as Pixel 4 and they are enjoying new Google Assistant and Google One features as well.

I personally use Pixel Experience the Plus Edition. It's stable and ready out of the box.
However there a lot of nice ROMs, you check them in my collection and decide which fit for you.

Well the thing is we don't know yet if POCO F1 detecting as Pixel 4 in Google Security is enough to bypass and trick Google to have unlimited storage. We need to wait till June 1st, 2021 which this change will take place. Until then, the storage remain unlimited.

[GUIDE] OOS 10.3.8 degoogled, debloated + MigroG

I have successfully degoogled and debloated the latest OOS (atm 10.3.8) and have a working microg setup using nanodroid package. Battery life is nice. 45hrs with 10,5hrs SOT on the first go! Not any unwanted background data moving, success I'd say! So for anyone interested, here are roughly the steps I took.
I couldn't deodex the services.jar with VdexExtractor so I used FakeGapps from Edxposed. Works!
In following guide we will first get a factory state OOS with twrp and root WITHOUT internet. Then we uninstall system app 'android setup', allow internet, get Edxposed working and FakeGapps installed. Then we install Nanodroid package from twrp to get a working microg and setup it and debloat. + Disable trackers using App Manager from F-droid repositories or github. Get it ready for sideloading or use adb. Support the developer!
General guide (everything gets erased):
1. Pure factory installment using MSM tool for 10.3.8 from Oneplus 6 unbrick tools. (XDA forum)
2. The phone starts, go through the initial setup bypassing everything you can. DON'T SETUP ANY WIFI!
3. Immediately switch off mobile data from quick settings, just in case. We dont want android setup to update any apps.
4. Enable unlocking the phone, reboot to bootloader
5. Unlock the bootloader (fastboot oem unlock)
6. Do parts 2 and 3 again (choose Oneplus slate font at this time if you ever want it to work)
7. Enable USB debugging, connect to computer, check 'adb devices' to get the window to allow the computer to appear. (The daemon needs to be running)
This all was to get the phone into pure factory state without automated changes, bootloader unlocked and adb working.
8. Install twrp and magisk. Boot up the phone.
9. Remember! No internet connections yet! Uninstall the system app 'Android Setup'. I used sideloaded AppManager for that. You'll know when you have uninstalled the correct app when the notification of android setup disappears.
10. Reboot
11. Now you can connect to internet.
12. In magisk, install Riru core, (mandatory reboot here!) and Riru Edxposed (2nd reboot)
13. In Edxposed, install FakeGapps and activate it. Reboot.
13. Now you can connect to internet.
This was all done to setup the phone for Nanodroid package and get safely to internet without unwanted updates.
14. Download a nanodroid package from github. I used just the microg version. Flash it from twrp. It should debloat some necessary google stuff, install aurorastore and aurora services and straight up working microg.
15. Check if microg is working and do registrations and enable cloud and location stuff. Reboot.
16. Install any app that uses google cloud service for push notifications and check from microg settings that it shows in the list. Don't continue installing any such apps until it does. Reboot or troubleshoot if necessary with microg related info.
17. Back up current setup from twrp for fallback.
18. Debloat to your heart content, except only disable and force stop the play store. In my case the app is still the official one. Don't use.
19. From AppManager, run disable all trackers, including system apps from 1-click ops.
There! Use some time, and if everything is to your liking, make a backup. Remember to disable trackers from every app you install after you have configured it.
