Getting rid of Huawei customization - Huawei P10 Lite Questions & Answers

Hi guys,
I got a brand new P10 lite as a replacement for my Nexus 5x which completely broke down. I managed to unlock the bootloader and acquired root already and got the google launcher somewhat working. My biggest issue is the stuff huawei did to the settings. Any chance to get a more google-ish look & feel?

You would have to build a rom from source to change that. It is built into the system files.

It depends on their implementation. I've seen a lot done with 'mods' and other hacks before - especially Xposed magic. That's why I ask.

New to Android. Need some help. Please! 7.1.1

Hello everyone. I recently switched from Iphone to Android and I am loving it so far. Bought the nexus 6p Gold over a week ago.
I am having problems with the the microphone. When I talk to someone is seems like they hear me very bad, like I am inside a submarine or very far away from the phone, which is odd because I was just holding the phone the normal way. I tested the mic on a recording app and I can hear myself very clearly. I have re searched and seems like a lot of people had/have this problem. I read something about the noise canceling thing on the back being an issue. And the best result would be to disable it. persist.audio.fluence.voicecall = put this to false or something. Anyways I was wondering if anyone can guide me through the steps on achieving this. I am running N 7.1.1, I currently have pixel launcher(loving it). I just want a simple root to get the mic working right on calls. I like the speed and design of the pixel launcher and would love to keep that and if I can get google assistant, even better if not its okay, I just want to use my phone to call people and for them to be able to hear me clearly... THANKS IN ADVANCE
I haven't had any issues with my mic but I assume you want to edit the build prop. I would use the Nexus Root Toolkit http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/ and Wug has a buid prop edit tool that I like and root is not needed. If you have root on 7.0 then get a build prop tool from the app store. I would hold off on getting 7.1.1 for now. I know it's tempting but this is release 1 and I'v been seeing several issue threads and it's best let the pros work out the bugs. It won't take long before you see a full step guide for 7.1.1. Be Patient
This is a hardware problem. Exchange it ASAP.

Do you have a case or screen protector? Was it like this when you 1st got it? Did you put 7.1 on it or did it come that way? If it was me I would; take off any case or screen protector, do a clean wipe, then grab the factory 7.1, https://developer.android.com/preview/download.html and try that, no TWRP or root yet. If its still an issue, like @therock3181 said, I would think its a hardware prob.
Thanks for the reply. The phone is already in 7.1.1. Any way to downgrade? Whats your suggestion?

I don't have a screen protector. I got it on 7. On 6 it was working fine apparently, according to previous owner. Right now it is on 7.1.1. The weird this is that every voice recording app, or like messenger that i use to send voice messages works great its just in calls.

Hello. It is asking me for the current build that I am running. I don't see 7.1.1. what should I select?
Since you said to flash 7.0, I am assuming I select 7.0 Build from the list? There are 4 different 7.0 builds. Let me know
Thanks

Okay, So I was reading the options to flash stock/unroot and it says I need to be unlocked first in order to run that script. Help?
Alright, I figured out a way to go back to 7.0. I left the Android beta program and It gave me a 7.0 N download to go back. Now I am on 7.0. What do I do from here?

Will Huawei send nougat OTA or do I have to download it?

I'm not seeing any traditional update software options in the about phone section. How will we receive Android OS updates on this tablet? Thanks.
Well it seems in the moment there just are no updates...
Normally you should get your update via ota (you should see an update option in your "main menu"), except for beta/leaked versions, if they should leak anyhow/anytime...
For now, there are no leaked or official updates for our mediapad m3 :-/

If you Google nougat for Huawei mediapad M3 there are several sites that claim they have the download you can Flash
The only thing in the about phone setting I can find about updates is updating the emui
As I know the update emui menu will also update your android (for example to android 7 + emui 5.0).
I know these sites, but as long as I do not see a link hier on xda, on the huawei news pages or on the huawei homepage itself I think these links are just nonsense.
(For example some of these pages just link every phone available and say "download XXXXX android 7 here"... I would not try to install these... But I also suppose you won't get a real package anyway there.)

Rally don't know if we ever see 7.0 for the M3.
The M2 never received 6.0, and what I heard is that Huawei just doesn't give a fu** about tablet software.
Huawei generally doesn't give a fu** about software updates. My Mediapad X2 GEM 701 never received an update. That's why I had to undergo a hugely complex updating procedure with chinese ROMs modified sh1t.
I just got the new update with October patch. They removed the navigation bar too.
How did you get this patch for your m3? Mine can not find any updates...
Chinese version only perhaps?

Actually it's the September security patch,but I got a notification in the update section. About 256mb. Took about 20 min to complete. I bought my tablet in Thailand.

Do you mean you can now disable the on-screen buttons or what has changed with that update? Thx!
I think that the NOUGAT OTA will be sent together with the new EMUI 5.0 (this version of its ui layer is based on android 7)... Anyone know an approximate date?

Correct,also it said better chrome operation,so maybe people that had problems running chrome in small format ,now can. I always had mine set in medium text and didn't have a problem. There were other things it said ,basic improvements,etc... I can't really notice any change other than the ability to disable the new buttons. Which like I said ,disables the ability to start split screen. Unless someone can tell me how to do NB it with only the fingerprint scanner......I'm also running Nova free launcher.
Plainly,this tablet is sick as F. I'm coming from a wifi only Xperia z3tablet compact though...... the only reason I bought this just because the camera Hardware had a malfunction on the Sony.

Haha haha,
Yes in a very good way. It's heavier than the z3 compact,and no water resistance,but it's smooth ,fast,and the LTE connectivity is incredible. I always have 5 bars of 4g. Now ,I live in Thailand,and the internet is crap here compared to the USA,so in the states it's probably even better. It was half the cost of a normal flag ship phone too,and it's basically a huge phone. It comes with a screen protector and a case,however the case is Carmel color and hard to look at,but it's growing on me. This tablet charges very fast too.
If your on the fence,buy it for sure.

Do you have the original Chinese rom in it? Did it come with Google play installed? Someone mentioned touchscreen issues on another thread here, do you have any issues as such? Thanks for all the information

As far as I read not all CPUs are conform with Android 7.0. The M2 has one of them. The CPU of the M3 is conform so i hope we will see the update soon.

Axon 7 Chinese version help (A2017)

So I just yesterday got my Axon 7, which I got shipped from China as it was cheaper. Little did I know that there were different versions of the phone and the one I received was the A2017, which I have been told is the Chinese model.
This is my first actual Android phone so I have fairly limited experience, apart from playing around with my mates Nexus 6P (which I found very easy and intuitive to use), so I have a few questions/issues.
My problem is that the software the Axon came with is fairly different to the "Paired down version of Android Marshmallow ... to be as close as stock android as possible." shown in most review vids, even ones with the 6GB Ram Chinese model - eg. youtube.com/watch?v=xNOql_uuOAM
Here are some screenshots of my phone - imgur.com/a/6pOlh
The main problems I have noticed are:
The lack of app tray.
No google service apps.
A bunch of random, for the most part Chinese (even when system language is English), apps that I can't uninstall or even remove off of the home screen.
Different, non stock android icons for all apps.
I mean it isn't the end of the world, but I would love to get the normal android experience on this phone is basically what I am saying.
Sorry if this is a dumb question/easy fix, as I said this is my first time owning any android phone.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Use nova launcher. And mi assistant to uninstall/disable apps. You can install Google from zte market and if you want to have ota updates then there are threads which will tell you how

Just download Google Play Services and Google Play from APKMirror and install them manually, it worked for me.
Thanks for replying. Yeah, that's what I ended up doing eventually. Downloaded some additional apks such as Google framework, account manager and couple others.

Want to get official ota updates, if any in this stage of axons lifecycle. Would have flashed LineageOS but sound quality and loudspeaker bug holding me back. Until those get fixed, hopefully, sticking to stock Chinese rom for time being.

Root a AT&T Trek 2 HD?

Right so I've been looking around for a while now and there are barely any results on the forums I visit about the Trek 2 HD. Is there a way to root it?
These are made by ZTE, model K88. Seems like they made a K88 variant for AT&T to brand.

This is an amazing tablet for the price. Hope, somebody finds a way to root this...
i just ordered a trek 2 today for $60, looking forward to checking it out. since it's an att device, i don't have much hope for an unlocked bootloader. any try kingroot or any of the others yet?
Just ordered 1 for $48 and unlocked. Hope can be root too

Hi I was just wondering if someone has the update build K88V1.0.0B28, my tablet has K88V1.0.0B09 and will not update over the air, I got this tablet on ebay.
Thanks
Has anyone been able to find Windows drivers for this tablet? I'm trying to use the debloater tool & I cannot get it work. I believe it's because Windows cannot find drivers. I'm using Windows 7.

I've looked everywhere online and couldn't find anyway yet. I even tried emailing ZTE just in case they would help.
I'd settle for parts...
heck, has anyone been able to even locate parts for these things? A lot have hit the market third party in the last month or so. I would assume that those can't be handled under AT&T warranty even though the model was only released last fall. But the only parts I can find appear to be from people who have done tear downs and are parting out other tablets. Trying to find a replacement touch screen seems to be just shy of impossible. either that or my Google Fu is just off today. I found one online store that seems to have every part except the touch screens. And trying to search for parts for the k88 and not get search results for the 9020a is a bit of a chore.
I'm at least happy it's immediately unlockable. $60 from the third-party seller plus a FreedomPop SIM card makes this a pretty decent cheap tablet. Assuming the Screen Works that is

I following the instruction on how to root the ZTE Maven and it did not work. I figured it wouldn't but tried anyways. The ZTE Maven is a completely different device altogether. I tried rooting the device both the normal way and in FTM (Factory Test Mode) and got no results. I tied with both King root and SRSoot. SRSroot even posted on their twitter account somewhere that they rooted the K88 but that's a bunch of b.s. or it's a different K88... Anyways I tried and failed, I hold my head low in defeat and shame... lol
A seller on ebay has sold thousands of these lately. Hopefully only a matter of time till a root and possible ROMS come along where we can use them as standard phones on any network.. I bought 2 of them at 55.00

? There is no same in trying though.
I really really want to root this tablet. It has great potential and the stereo speakers awesome. I want to be able to get rid of all the bloatware and maybe use a messenger with it. I'll keep searching maybe I'll get lucky one of these days. Has anyone unlocked the bootloader?
Anyone find a way to root this yet?
Note: When I click the Phone app, a screen for AT&T Numbersync comes up. If I click OK, a logon for My AT&T comes up. Does this happen to anyone else? Is there anyway to get the phone app with dial pad to open instead? Thanks
Chiming in to help make it known that people want to be able to root this tablet.

Get the Google Assistant of Pixel on Huawei P9 Lite

Hello friends,
does anyone know if it is possible to get the new Google Assistent of Pixel devices on any other device (especially on our P9 Lites). From videos the new assitant seems to make a quite better job than the old one.
Besides that does anyone know if Google plans to replace all old versions of google assistanz with the mentioned new version of pixel? Thanks for your answers.

I have Google App v6.13, alpha, no Google Assistant, but it works on some other phones.
I think you can get it with Open GApps.
Ok I will try it and report if it worked. Thanks
it's an app for that... get assistant but you need root

There's no xposed for nougat
I got it to work with this tutorial on Lineage 14.1:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/guide-how-to-enable-google-assistant-t3477879
However, it got kinda screwed after the Google App updated. So you might want to disable auto-updates so Google doesn't screw your setup with updates.
Plus, it modifies your build.prop which can cause issues on other apps since your phone thinks its a Pixel.
All in all I dont think it is worth the effort. The assistant is overrated and the normal app can do basically the same stuff with voice command.
