Not a dev, but what exactly do you want to do to your device?
Unlock bootloader/offer to test any development stuff as I see no 908U roms/kernels or anything anywhere

No customization yet possible for your device.
Yes I know, which is why I'm offering to any dev to test for them. Currently have a one plus 10 pro with root so good to go and don't really care what happens to the s22.

Is there any hidden bands in our phones ? I was reading the processors specs and there's a few bands that don't show up on out phones specs . I was just wondering is there any hidden bands that are lock down by software ? Is so can we unlock them ? And how hard would it be ?
:good:
Hey m8,
I actual ran into the same problem with the LTE Bands.
Special the o2 Band 20 is the one i really want to unlock
because its the only band that o2 is using here in Germany.
I saw an Thread in the OnePlus section so there must be someone
around who can manage this on the OPPO

yeah since 1996, its an old MK2 and its not a diesel :laugh:
I really got into reading the thread for about several hours and red it over and over again...
My concern about getting the whole thing done before doing any actual work is the HEX Register
where the Bands are stored... (snapdragon 615 compared to the one in the thread).
But we will see and maaaaybeeee OPPO (or CM?) will do an update which would
be awesome.

Yeah please let us know what you find out. In the meantime in the US if you are on T Mobile you can use the phone with full H+ speeds. I am consistently getting anywhere from 4 to 10 Mpbs. To stabilize the signal I went and downloaded this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.BBsRs.HSPAP.Tweaker and it works like a charm.
i really want to buy mate 8 and i love it but i'm afraid from one thing i'm a user that root his phone and use xposed and flash roms
my question is rooting and xposed will work on this phone without problems?
and i think for mate 8 there is no number of custom roms
it is nornal that the phone is new but my question is like after 2 years when the phone stop to recieve update it will be a custom rom for it ? like Cyanogen?
Root yes ,xposed not working, stock ROM is very good with Google now launcher
I don't believe that CM is making ROMs for Mate 8
Sent from my HUAWEI NXT-L29 using Tapatalk
Root works, xposed works, no cm ROM in sight but delete a bunch of bloat apps, replace them with Google apps instead, and use layers manager along with theme app for a very close to aosp ROM feel
Have to say, was very anxious to find out how Emui would be in practice. If it would be bloated, ugly, overkill, etc.
But now, after using the device for a few days, can honestly say that I wouldn't want it to be any other way! The amount of things you can change, set or extract techy data from is enormous. Don't want stock Android anymore. Don't want CM13. This is it. Emui rulez! :good:
It's fast, smooth, does it all. No regrets. Can't / won't downgrade to stock/ AOSP / CM

Many people reported that xposed didn't work.
Did it work with you with any modification ?

Mine doesn't even get warm. There are no dots on the screen either. Having a large battery makes it charge a little slower but mine charges fast if I use the original ac adapter and cable.
hi. i read about camera app taking forever to launch. any similar experience? does using another camera app solve the problem?. also how good is the loadspeaker? im coming from s5>nexus6>note edge and they all have pretty loud sound
Hello everybody, I was wondering if someone could tell me the best mate8 model to buy I will be using it in the usa. I'm using the mate2 now and it is a solid mid-ranger. I have unlocked the bootloader and have cm13 running on it now. I would appreciate your suggestions on the mate8 models and why you pick it. Thanks..
I'm interested in buying a Mate 8 and I was wondering if you can shoot RAW pictures using the Mate 8?
I know that it has a "Pro Mode" option but I can't find any videos online showing a full indept review of that feature, so could anyone explain/elaborate on that?
Many thanks in advance!

Most Raw-capable camera apps you can download from the Play Store won't work as well due to crap implementation on Huawei's side:
Shame, really.

If you wish to buy a Huawei phone and need RAW image files, you have to wait for the release of P9 (April 16th) or P9 Plus (May 20th) that both offer this functionality.
Thank you guys for the reply.
That's really sad to hear then. My LG G4 recently died on me with the infamous boot loop problem and I can't get it fixed anytime soon. I might wait for reviews of the new P9 but I do like the Mate 8 as well though. I'd just have to sacrifice RAW function then =/

It's not only a matter of RAW vs non-RAW... P9/P9 Plus dual camera has been yet tested by some reviewers and defined a significant step forward compared to Mate 8 (but still worse than Samsung S7).

You are right, there's more to it than just RAW, but having RAW function is usually beneficial as you can process the picture later and not rely solely on the phone's image processor. Although if the phone's image processor is good to begin with then you shouldn't need RAW.
My G4 had RAW and I quite liked it, managed to get some good shots during my holiday before it died on me(luckily it died after my vacation was over, lol).
How is the Mate 8's Pro/Manual Mode? Is it any good?

Not very good, no. Yes, lots of options but don't buy this phone for the camera. Much, much better alternatives (like your G4).
Has anyone noticed any difference in the camera between the s7 and the s7 active? I've read that they are virtually the same camera but there are differences apparently. I mainly wanna know if the camera's handle blur better. It seems like if you are not in sunlit lighting on the s7 you get blurry pictures with slight motion. Which I though one of the biggest features about this phone was that wasn't suppose to happen.
I'm sure the only differences are bigger battery and shatterproof screen. Aside from that, they're pretty much identical.

I don't think he meant harm it's just annoying when the same questions are asked over and over. No the bootloader is not unlocked and not it probably won't be in the foreseeable future

Is there a modified Android ROM to introduce Google services for a Huawei P40 pro, instead of having to do it later with Goglefier or similar? If so, does it allow updates?
doesn't exist

We don't have any confirmed way to unlock the bootloader, so with that being said there is no custom roms.

There are ways to unlock it and not insanity expensive either but I think there's no market for it.

Yes there is now, but at the time it wasn't possible. Also pointless at the moment to open up your phone and unlock the bootloader as there's no custom roms in the work.

Its not done by software alone, you have to short a pin or two alongside software etc, not something most people are willing to do.

The method I saw used software test points. And I saw it first hand, it worked flawlessly if yet a bit nerve wrecking. I am not sure if the program is allowed to be mentioned here as it can have illicit uses so I won't say it's name but it's publicly available. I only seen it used on P40 pro + but would assume it works similarly for all P40 series devices.
I uploaded this way twrp, but due to the lack of modified software nothing after that I could not do more. I would need to know how to modify the software
Hey there,
I've been using my Realme 5 Pro with an ungoogled custom ROM for a while now, and I felt safe until I saw a video from The Linux Experiment (Videolink is with timestamp):
In the video, he mentions that he no longer wants to use a Chinese phone because China might force the manufacturer to install spyware. I know that The Linux Experiment is very skilled, but in this case I am not sure if he is a little bit paranoid. ^^
My questions are:
1. Is it possible for Chinese companies to spy on a phone with an open bootloader, custom ROM, and custom recovery?
2.1 I have already read that backdoors on the hardware side might be possible. Is this true?
2.2 How high is the risk of this happening?
2.3 What Information can they get with a backdoor on the hardware side?
3. How concerned should I be, because getting a phone without chinese influence is very hard?
Thanks for your help.
PS: I don't want political discussions. Just the technical view on my concerns, which are my personal opinion.

Is it really worth the effort? wouldn't a Hardwarebackdoor mean, that you only get machine language which has to be processed and sorted?
For a very important device like the phone of a president or minister that might be a practical solution but how much work is it to do that for a massive amount of people?
Thanks for your answer!
