Does these themes work on P8 Max?

So I want to buy the Huawei P8 Max but I am concerned about the EMUI or wether theme/OS they are using not supporting the themes I really like.
The P8 Max is barely available in the Netherlands so I have to buy it off eBay and then have to find out how to install stock Android on it.
Anyway, could anyone of you try the themes by DualBoot Games? They are on Google Play store to download.
I can't place a link for now but you can typ in Google, DualBoot games and see right the Google Play store developer link.
Kind regards

Yeah it works, but why a moving screen? It only cost battery life

Thanks a lot.
Regarding the battery life, actually not. I have optimized it and still have it on really nice quality and my Samsung GS5 can last up to 2 a 3 days.
There is almost no difference in with and without the moving themes. And I use the Christmas HD btw, awesome theme
I sold my GS5 to my brother so I can save up for the P8 Max. Do you think it is a downgrade or are they on pair or is the P8 Max better?
i won't try to max out GTA, I just want a bigger screensize to watch movies/series and also TV app. (Telfort Online app)
Do you also know why the P8 Max is not officially in Holland?

The P8 Max is realy great and a keeper. Maybe in the future check out the Sony Z5 Ultra if it comes out. I have now idea. I got mine from Amazon.es and the box got a Huawei address in Holland, very very strange

Yeah, I found a lot of those with the address from Amsterdam. How and why... Very odd.
And I do not want any smartphone from Sony due their PS Vita BS. I truley regret buying their complete worthless device, ever.
So only the P8 Max got my interest.

Hands-On: Mi Mix 2S 8GB White Ceramic Edition (Q&A)

I've got my hands on the 8GB RAM / 256GB ROM White Ceramic edition.
So I made a quick unboxing and hands-on in 2K resolution and 60FPS:
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YS0VWGq3y0
Any questions? I have the device and I'm happy to answer.
I'll do an in depth review after 1 week of usage.

I've seen a few people specifically mention "ceramic edition", but I though all variants were ceramic this time?

Probably true, I was also confused. In end of March I was reading news regarding the 6GB vs. 8GB variants, and the Chinese websites keep saying the 8GB variant was specifically ceramics. I think in the end all variants are ceramic, but it added to the confusion. Is anyone with a 6GB variant able to confirm this?

Are you using the Global version? I've seen some reviews (with the Chinese version) and it seems video recording sound is pretty bad, also for in-call audio. Could you confirm?
Also, I think it comes with a case, right? How is it? Does the camera still stick out with the case?

I like your video but had to turn off sound, because the music was beyond awful. Next time, please choose something neutral. Classical always works.

Thanks. Unfortunately for monetized videos the selection of music is very limited due to copyright problems. Almost all classical music is copyrighted, so I did a quick search on copyright free background beats and took the first one.
Next time I may simply speak instead of having music. But English is not my native language, and I hate my voice =)
Thanks for the feedback

I appreciate your sentiment, but there may be misunderstanding here. All classical music (not neo or modern but old school) is public domain and not copyrighted, because classical music has been created more than 70 years ago. Certain performances by certain artists may be copyrighted, but the vast majority of classical music is completely free to use. Moreover, and this is a guess but I think a good guess, automatic algorithms by Youtube couldn't distinguish between royalty free and copyrighted classical music.

Thanks. I meant the performances of course which are under copyright. I do sampling and beat production in my free time and had to hire a sample Clearance service for the songs i sold.
Moreover i cater to a very homogeneous target audience which isn't really into classic music. Currently a lot of tech channels are using "casey neistat type beats". That's exactly what i did in my video. Sorry if it didn't fit your taste, next time I simply usey voice instead of music. Haha

Fair enough.

Well, I got mine fairly overpriced, but instantly, when going to MBK in Bangkok. There's one shop that imports Xiaomi and other brands form China and sells them here. They had exactly one White 256GB variant... Black was available for 100 USD less.

My Mix2S was 6GB /128GB, it's white ceramic. It looks like yours, there's silver aluminium frame as well.
I'd got mine from MBK too.

Well, I'm sure I overpaid as well, but I went cheap. 6gb of ram and 64 of storage. Which is enough for me. In black.
720ish CAD from gearbest. Global version.
I can confirm that at least with my carrier Koodo (same as Telus) I get LTE and LTE+ (although it shows accurately as 4G and 4G+)
It's nice, but I wish the face recognition and Google assistant were working properly.

Well, global version just means that it supports most of the existing bands around the world, but the other variants do still support quite a few. Perhaps what you have is not a global version, but it still supports the bands that you need. Why did you say that yours was global, was it advertised as global?
I'm not an expert on Google Assistant but I have played with it quite a bit on previous phones and on my current Pixel XL. I may be able to help, if luck has it, to troubleshoot your particular problem. What are you trying to do and what isn't working, precisely?

It WAS advertised as global version. It comes with the global rom, with Google play and all that.
Maybe it is some other version that they flashed with the global rom, is there a way to check?
For the assistant. While it's sitting on a table, screen off. I say OK Google, and nothing happens. It's supposed to light up and let me talk to the assistant.
My LG G6 does it fine.
Also, I can't find the settings for face unlock.

I honestly don't know if there's an easy way to check aside from trying the phone with a carrier that is supported on global but not on others. Perhaps through some logcat info or maybe there's an app, I don't know. Maybe another user could answer.

The phone definitely should have hardware to use lower power microphone to listen to voice commands with screen off. That is a standard feature of the 845 chipset. It may be disabled, though I doubt it. Are you sure you set it up correctly? I had a whole helluva time setting up a brand new Galaxy S9 today, but trying to do the opposite of what you want - no voice recognition with screen off, but voice recognition with screen on. The settings were buried by Google, and it took a few minutes to find them.
UPDATE: BTW, there must have been a very recent Google Assistant update recently, because things are now behaving differently from what I remember. You might want to try to experiment setting up the assistant and turning it off several times over to get the proper behavior - I just tried to set up my Pixel XL assistant 30 seconds ago and I couldn't. Gonna play with it myself.
As for face recognition, it's like this:
Settings/Security & Location/Smart Lock/Trusted Face. In your firmware, "Security & Location" may be "Security and Lock screen" or something similar.
Update 2: I can no longer set up Google Assistant with this new software the way it used to work with old software . Even though I did it today on the S9.
I am baffled... maybe bugs?
Here's what you need to do though for your goal.
Settings/Google/Search/Voice/Voice Match --- enable "Access with Voice Match," enable "Unlock with Voice Match." You should be set.

Yeah, I'll play with the assistant some more. I am aware of how to set it up, but I'll play a bit with it.
I literally don't have that option for face unlock. If I remember correctly, that's the Google version. I thought xiaomi had their own version built in, maybe something they left out of the global rom?

The global rom is not yet available on the Xiaomi website, so we cannot say whether it's bugs and missing features yet. The fact that you don't have the "Trusted Face" option in Google settings or the Xiaomi variant of this feature makes me think that you have an incomplete rom that will probably be updated to rectify these issues in the future.

P40 pro vs S20+ 5G

The P40 pro got in multiple scenarios the better camera, the S20+ in some others. I do hate the vibrant colors, but safety features like safetynet are useful especially with some banking apps. Also widevine l3 is used. Does anyone know or it can run Netflix in fullhd with a widevine L1 patch? If this is the case we might also be able to patch Disney plus.
The widevine and safety are things stopping me from buying the P40 pro. Chromecast is handy, but I can live without it.
S20+ 5G arriving tomorrow so I'll think over it or I should return it or not. For normal situaties without harsh lightning the S20+ would be an okay camera, and as far as I know it would probably be better than the P30 pro.

Really only you can decide this.

you should just ask yourself if which is important for you if camera then p40 pro
if you heavily rely on google services and you dont have plans on finding alternative apps for it ''see the guide section on my comprehensive list of alternatives for google apps" then go for s20+ but if your only option is exynos then you may regret it because impossible you havent heard how bad exynos is on s20 compared to SD
netflix latest apk works currently but hd? it needs a subscription so you can use so havent heard any news who tried it. about banking apps you will need to ask an owner of p40 pro who resides on the same country you are like for example me on middle east all our banks is supported already here. disney+ no idea yet

Does anyone make phone calls? I gues not much
Still I have testet P40 Pro and S20+. I have to say P40 Pro is a way superior here. And I do not speak super condition. I often drive in unpopulated area, bad coverage.... P40 Pro is a clear winner here.

Do you mean bad coverage for the S20+ and not for the P40 Pro? I've also seen dual band GPS on the spec sheet. The hardware sounds very interesting. How about the battery life difference? My S20+ still has to get used to my usage to be optimized, but for now I only have like 4 hours SoT. This is pretty bad compared to my previous phone the LG G7 ThinQ. It's almost the same actually. Any more experiences comparing the 2 devices? I sadly couldn't get the 2 devices at the same time to compare them myself.:crying:
For the price itself I'm still comparing the phones to other devices like the P30 Pro since except for the colors and the better night recording and the 90Hz there isn't much of a difference. Probably slightly better mic and speakers. But or the difference is worth around 500 euro's more is debatable. If the bootloader could be unlocked it would've been an easier choice.

whosetheboss in youtube already made a battery comparison between the flagship currently in the market including p40,oneplus8,s20ltra,11promax do take note the s20 there is snapdragon, your sot could be bad because you have exynos, if you do have exynos just upgrade to another phone your just getting scammed by samsung.

I am looking to upgrade between it and the galaxy s20+ so if you could give any feedback..mostly looking at the best camera on one of those two, as far as I've seen both received plenty of updates over the last few months that made most of the reviews obsolete so

Unfortunately yes, it is. The p40 pro and s20/s20+ have a 50% discount on my carrier currently so I'm limited to those. I wouldn't take them if it weren't for the pretty good deal.

It works although you may not find it in the Google Play Store. I installed mine through the Aurora store. How can you tell if it's not playing back in HD? It looks crisp and clear on my phone., not blocky or pixellated.

Question I've just ordered a 12.6 - Looks to be an international version already

Hi All,
I am currently an owner of a Xiaoxin Pad Pro 11 (2021). I'm happy with the performance but not the screen. I thought I would take the gamble and go for a Xioxin 12.6 as it has a newer AMOLED screen vs the 90hz OLED on my current one. The near black crush is terrible and I really do use it for quite a lot of media consumption.
Anyways. To the main point of the thread. The P12 pro is already listed on Lenovo UK site with 6gb RAM 128 SSD. The Xiaoxin is 8GB 250GB.
When I flash the international firmware from Rescue and Smart Assistant it is already listing a P12 Pro TB0Q706F with two HW Codes 16 or 19. Any clue which I would flash? I'm guessing the higher one is more likely the 8GB ram version?
Also the P12 pro is already listed on the netflix compatibility site for Dolby Vision. Once I flash the international version should Netflix see my tablet as a P12 Pro vs a Xiaoxin?
I know it's very early days but i'm hoping people can apply knowledge from earlier Lenovo tablets here.

Hi!
I also placed an order for this one, expecting it any day now. Exciting! To your question about HDR and DOLBY VISION on Netflix etc, I don't think there is much hope for that since it will probably still be the "prc" version after flashing the ROW ROM. But you never know!

My Xiaoxin Pad 12.6 arrives in the next day or 2 as well. Hoping the newer Samsung AMOLED doesn't suffer from blurry text as the OLED on the 11.
Did you flash the global rom to your Pro 11 and have use of Netflix in HD? Or did that have netflix hd capability out of the box?

I've not received it yet. However my current tablet works with play store and you can download netflix no issue. Fingers crossed it will flash to a version netflix recognises for Dolby Vision.

From what I have read they never solved that, didn't get the same Build Fingerprint on the Xiaoxin as the P11 Pro, showed up in DRM Info as tb-j706f_prc instead of tb-j706f. Unfortunately I read all that AFTTER I placed the order on the 12.6, having no experience with Lenovo tablets from before. So I think there is very little hope for Netflix Dolby vision but it will still be a very pleasant tablet I assume.

OK same boat.
I'm not sure if the 2020 Xiaoxin has access to the play store etc out the box but the 2021 does. I can even download Netflix/Disney+ direct from the Google store now. Perhaps there's a change in stance.
All we can do at this point is keep our fingers crossed and hope what ever the 12.6 changes to when flashed to a P12 is recognised by Netflix.

The Xiaoxin Pad Pro 11 is an absolute beast from a hardware perspective. If you can use plex etc you really won't miss netflix all that much. Don't get me wrong it's a bummer having to torrent programs I already pay for a sub for but it's not the end of the world.
As long as the P12 Pro had a screen that handles near black better it'll be a fantastic tablet.

@mardon85
My Xiaoxin 12.6 arrived today. Widevine L1 certified, Netflix is working in full HD and HDR 10 and dolby vision is supported. I had to sideload netflix, it doesn't appear in the play store. Also I had an OTA update which didn't affect these results.

That's great news! So Netflix with Dolby Vision out of the box with ZUI 13? Mine is scheduled to arrive tomorrow morning

I can also verify Netflix HDR + Dolby Vision in FHD. On HBO Max I can play Dune in 4K Dolby Vision but everything else is only FHD, weird? Amazon Prime: FHD, Dinsey Plus: FHD.
I agree that the screen is really great. 4K HDR content on Youtube looks as good as on my LG CX OLED TV.
I also had to sideload Netflix, and Play Store was installed, the plastic wrapping had been removed from the box. But I see why they do that, it's a little frustrating downloading Play Store from the native App Store app with everything in Chineese (Which I did after a factary reset).
I can verify that there is no GPS, I think it's only for the 5G models. In DRM Info it shows up as TB-Q706F-PRC in the Build Fingerprint as expected. Everything seems to be working fine so far. The only bug I've seen so far is that drop-down menys in Chrome is not working.
So who will be first to flash the ROW ROM? I don't have much experience there so I would prefer to let someone else give it a go first.
Oh and wifi 5GHz is limited to some specific channels, I had to reconfigure my router.

Someone's uploaded a first impressions video :

So... got too tempted and could not wait so I tried to flash it, the flashing process seems to go fine but the tablet tells me after that it's corrupt and then later it's stuck in the "Fastboot mode meny" (I don't know whats it is called but you know what I mean), cant to anything from there it just restart and go back there.

Q: How can I share the entire logfile?

What process did you try via the Lenovo Recovery software or the 3rd Party App where you have to install the qualcom USB drivers first as used on other posts here?

So... I'm new to this. I tried first with the Lenovo Recovery tool, it flashed without problems but got stuck in fastboot. Then I tried Qfil where I also get a "Success", but corrupt device and stuck in Fastboot. Tried Qfil many times with some different settings.
I upgraded ZUI before all this, so the ROW firmware was older than what I had on the tablet, if that matters.

Tbh it sounds like you've tried everything I would have unfortunately.
There's a bloke at this link who explains the process quite clearly. Maybe it'll help?
China Tablets to recommend
it also took me a few tries to get it. so afraid of bricking it. Totally right... sigh... but now Vanced YouTube isn't working for me... can install but cannot connect to my Google account... EDIT: Found a solution on Reddit - disable Chrome under Apps & Permission, then log in to Google...

Seems odd both methods fail. Does the lenovo route download from their server or ask you to provide a rom?
