A huge thanks for this Rom was waiting for different ui.
It would be great if u will provide some screen shots
Screenshots
I havent found any fc
Hoping that the sim bug will be fixed soon
I dont mind using the Single SIM as I use it for single sim most of the time. Thank you for sharing it here. I'm downloading it now.
an awesome rom
This is the best rom I have ever used on my Sparkle V. Very smooth ,
but I found a bug - while backing up data on local storage the phone hangs and reboots itself in a minute, but that's not a major issue.:good:
guys, I tried flashing, but failed. ,
- first I tried wipe everything, and then flash. But flash or rom failed, giving sole softlink issue. I tried multiple times, but failed. Finally, fixed issue by having another 4.4.4 rom installed first and then flashing this rom without wiping system
- once flash was successful, I rebooted device, but it keeps looping wihout booting up. OP suggested multiple iterations of (battery remove, goto recovery, wipe dalvik, boot) , but I am in my 7th attempt and device not booting still.
How many times you guys had to wipe dalvik? Very much anxious to test this MIUI rom !
Flash why philz
Do not flash gapps it was bootlooping

thanks @yadavdharmendar, I am installing from philz, and I avoided installing gaps as well. Still not luck. I get Simlink error.
I am coming from FIUI rom. Not sure if that matters (as anyway I am wiping everything before starting rom flashing).
I was on Fiui too
Then i flash cm11 ,then miui

thanks! But why you installed CM11 first before installing Miui. OP didn't asked for it. Just curious to know!
And where you got CM11 from? From Cyanogenmod download page for "sprout"?

Thanks all. Installed cm11, then installed ROM with the patch, and avoided flashing any gapps. It worked! Just one bootloop, which went away after wiping dalvik.
Thanked OP!!
BTW, any ways to make the navigation buttons look big. And possibly increase bar height?

Huawei P8 Custom ROM
* MagicArrow *
Version Two
Magisk Edition and Classic Edition
Teamwork by Tecalote and KangV
Based on the European firmware b398 - only installable, if you are already on Marshmallow Firmware (Android 6)
Developed on GRA-L09 C432 - but it should run on all GRA-xxx models and regions due to my modification
Thread for German Users: https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/root-custom-roms-modding-fuer-huawei-p8.2257/huawei-p8-rom-6-0-emui-4-0-3-magicarrow-v2-by-tecalote.819399.html
Well, you've been waiting long enough I am pleased to present you the new version of Arrow under the extended name "MagicArrow"
1) Difference between Magisk and Classic Edition:
The Magisk Edition was made to have a safteynet capable device that still offers much more features than Stock Firmware ... It has the same features like Classic Edition, with one difference: Outward It looks as if you had not unlocked the bootloader .... Apps like Pokemon Go, various banking apps - which does not work anymore on rooted devices should work in this Rom
However, you can not install Xposed Framework in the Magisk Edition without losing the green safetynet! There is the systemless Xposed Framework by topjohnwu, the developer of Magisk and it works, can be easily downloaded and installed in the Magisk Manager via modules (SDK 23) - but - there is currently no way to pass safetynet with a modified custom Rom together with Xposed Framework! For this reason, the installation pool in K-Settings for Xposed is removed from its function.
Attention: Update the preinstalled Magisk with newer Version 15.3 flashable zip made for this ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75178940&postcount=871
Then look in the Thread for new posts about future Updates.
The Classic Editon is rooted with SuperSU and has same features, but you cannot bypass safteynet check. However, who does not run apps depending on this "questionable" service will have the same joy with this Rom. The advantage of the Classic Edition is: You can install from K-Settings Wanams Xposed Framework 87.1 and use a lot of Xposed modules ...
2) Requirements and information for this Rom:
If you want to have the best of this Rom, then it would be necessary to start completely clean - means from Custom Rom back to Stock Firmware b398 - With the exception of devices for which there is no more recent firmware than b370. An EMUI Custom Rom is as good as the before installed Firmware in the background. In principle, only system, cust and kernel will be flashed with the Rom zip. The original Firmware update a lot more, like modem etc. Therefore, the Custom Rom works best if you start from latest firmware for your device on which the Rom is based.
If you have already latest official Huawei Stock Firmware installed, it is less work...
I really dont recommend to flash dirty this Rom directly from Arrow v1 or if you stay on older Firmware. System and Apps will be wiped with the installation script. So you cannot keep your previous apps and data, you have to install them new.
You need the latest TWRP:https://dl.twrp.me/grace/twrp-3.1.1-0-grace.img Do not use older ones!
The bootloader must be unlocked. Pick up the Huawei unlock code, because it is always valid for the same device. If you do not have an unlock code from Huawei and have problems to get it from Huawei Website, recently you can call regional Huawei service hotline and get the code by mail during 24 hours.
3) Installation guide for the MagicArrow:
1) Backup your apps and data from your current Firmware or Rom - but only User-Apps and not System-Apps. You can use Huawei Backup as well as TitaniumBackup. (Dont restore any System-Apps from previous system in the new Rom - example: if you use Huawei Backup dont backup Phonemanager, but you can backup desktop layout, sms, calendar, User-Apps etc.) Dont backup and restore Chat-Apps like WhatsApp, Viber, WeChat, Facebook and so on - use their inbuilt Backup Function like Google Drive Backup (its different, some Apps are storing everything on their server like Telegram) You must install and register Chat-Apps new on your new Rom. If you dont do that, Push-Notifications cannot work.
2) Make a backup of important folders and files from your internal storage (DCIM, WhatsApp folder, Downloads....)
3) Download Firmware update.zip - depending on the device model - and unzipp it on your PC - you receive META-INF and UPDATE.APP
GRA-L09C432B398: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G985/g104/v88316/f1/full/update.zip
GRA-L09 with other Cust: http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database/?firmware_model=GRA-L09&firmware_page=0
Other GRA models: http://hwmt.ru/hwmtsite/firmware-database/?firmware_model=GRA&firmware_page=0
4) Copy UPDATE.APP and META-INF into a folder on the root directory of your external SD which must have the name: dload
5) If you are on Stock Firmware, not rooted you can directly update your Firmware. But go to step 6
A) If you are on Stock Firmware, but rooted, with TWRP installed and Xposed Framework installed, uninstall first Xposed Framework, reboot to system, after unroot your device, restore original boot.img and flash the original Huawei Stock Recovery.
B) Arrow Editions: If you have Xposed Framework installed, uninstall Xposed Framework, reboot to system (15 min) - after go to step 6
If you are on Arrow v1 Classic Edition without Xposed Framework, flash Huawei Stock Recovery from K-Settings /more settings / flash recovery - flash official recovery. You can reboot directly from here to Stock Recovery.
If you are on Arrow v1 Magisk Edition without Xposed Framework, flash with TWRP Magisk Uninstaller: http://tiny.cc/latestuninstaller and after flash Huawei Stock Recovery b391 (by choosing img): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862705190
- go to step 6
6) Press Vol+ and Power Button until phone reboot and hold this position until phone boot up to Stock-Recovery. Here you do first "Wipe Cache Partition" and second "Factoryreset" - go to step 7
7) If you start EMUI Update from here, just go to Restart and press Vol+ and Vol- (in the middle down and hold this position), wait until phone reboots and EMUI Software Installing begin (of course, update.app and meta-inf must be already in dload folder)
If you was back in system between you can start update with pressing down Vol+ and Vol- in the middle and at the same time pressing Power Button. Wait until phone reboot and you see Huawei Logo. Now you can release Power button, but you must keep holding all the time the pressing down postion with Vol+ and Vol- until EMUI Software Installing begin. After some time your firmware is updated and restart to system. Dont make an account yet, just make short setup.
8) Open settings /about phone and klick 7 times on build number for enabling developer options. Open developer options and in there enable USB Debugging. After go to settings / (advanced) settings and enable "unknown sources"
9) Connect your device with USB to your PC and let windows install the drivers or install HiSuite (which installs drivers if windows cannot recognice) You need the USB Connection. With Minimal ADB and Fastboot in administrative mode you can flash now the newest TWRP, which I have linked above.
10) Disconnect your device from USB Cable, soon TWRP is succesful flashed
11) With Vol+ and Power Button reboot your device to TWRP - this step is important if you want to keep TWRP
12) Allow system modification and go to ADVANCED WIPE - choose in the first step ONLY internal Storage (nothing else). Do not wipe internal Storage together with the other partitions in step 14! Soon internal storage is wiped, go back to main menu and restart the recovery. You should get the Root Permission request from TWRP "Allow system modification" once again, allow it and open settings to configure (24h clock, language, time zone, etc) If you dont get the Root Permission request from TWRP yet, you will get it after next boot to TWRP.
13) Now copy MagicArrow.zip to your external SD - Attention: If you want the boot sound to be played on the phone - before flashing the Rom, sound must be switched on!
14) Boot to TWRP and go to ADVANCED WIPE - Wipe following partitions:
Dalvik/Art Cache
Cache
Cust
data
system
15) Go back to main menu and flash MagicArrow. After flashing is done, reboot system without wipe of dalvik/cache. As you know, the first boot process can take up to 15 minutes (just like installing the Xposed Framwork)] After boot to system and first setup - you have to make some IMPORTANT STEPS (see next Point) before you restore /installing your apps and adjust your phone.
4) Important information for the Magisk -Edition:
During first setup you may receive a root-rights request, if so, confirm this. After first setup - please do not open the Magisk Manager . Before you do anything else,open settings / about phone and klick 7 times on build number to enable the developer options. Open developer options and in there enable USB debugging! Then go back to Settings - in the b398 there are the extended settings with the short name: Settings. In it, please enable " allow unknown sources "
At this point restart immediately your P8.
Now open the Magisk Manager, the app is looking for updates - to speed this up, drag from first white field (like refresh of a website in Chrome) with the finger pressed down - the manager is up to date. Makes a query of the Safteynet = green.
Then you go in the Magisk-Manager left to the Controll-Pannel to settings. Do not change anything, with one exception: enable systemless hosts! This step is very important. Then immediately the second reboot .
Next open AdAway and activate the hosts file (download files and activate the advertising block) - then the third reboot .
After open AdAway again and see if the hosts file is active, if it is, all well, if not, download the hosts files once again and restart P8. (Sometimes another reboot is necessary at the point) Only when AdAway is green (activated) - then the safetynet is passed by. You can now again check in the Magisk manager safetynet = green - if you do not these steps, you can break the safetynet. In addition, root and apps can be blocked!
As you know, Magisk uses his own superuser, integrated into Magisk Manager
For some reason if you have problems with safetynet with some apps, just download the following module in the Magisk Manager in the Control-Pannel under Download:
Universal Safetynet Fix
Otherwise, please do not download any modules, you do not know if they run and what they do.
Two modules are preinstalled - please leave this, otherwise this Rom does not function properly with K-Settings!
5) Important information for the Classic -Editon:
The Classic edition gets systemless Root during the installation by SuperSU 2.82 SR1 (SR1 has an integrated update for Huawei devices). After Rom is flashed and you restart phone, the first boot process will terminate, the device will restart once again - this is normal because of systemless rooting . Why systemless this time? Because of compatibility with SuperSU. The new versions of SuperSU are rooting always systemless. If there is the next Final version of SuperSU, you need only flash the zip in TWRP and there are no problems with the update.
To enable AdAway , just download the AdAway ad block (hosts file) and reboot the P8 - but after rebooting, please open AdAway again and see if it worked the first time - otherwise just download again and restart the device once more. The second time it fits. AdAway is controlled by the systemless root using an init.d script that mount the hosts file systemlessly and this script is usually only active after the second restart. If you ignore this step, you can block root privileges.
6) Features:
• VoLTE and IP-Calling enabled - disable it, if your mobile provider dont support it!
• Push notifications working - Enable WhatsApp, Telegram... as protected apps and enable Wlan and mobile data during "sleeping mode" as always on
• Most Gapps contained in system debloaded - please dont flash any GApps, just install it with Playstore (Core GApps and settings are present in the Rom)
• System is deodexed
• pre-rooted: Classic Edition by Chainfires SuperSU 2.82 SR1 - Magisk Edition by topjohnwuMagiskSU 13.3
• BusyBox 1.27.1 - Please dont change this BusyBox to any other (not Stericson, not JRummy...)
• Call Recorder - You can enable recording manually, if a call comes through with the memory icon in dialer - or constantly in dialer settings
• Some nice themes, BlackPyramid ...
• K-Settings - as usual with extended restart menu
• MiXplorer (very powerful Root-Explorer) and TitaniumBackup (can store backups without any problem through storage SD instead of document provider)
• Dolby / Atmos for Teamwork with Viper4Android - best experience with BlackPlayer (or similar) but not Huawei Music App
• Security patch level 1 July 2017 - all known Stagefright Security holes are closed
• Multiwindow mode - you can start this mode with long tap on square in navigation bar. Close the Mod in the middle with the turquoise symbol.
• Viper4Android (enable it via K-Settings) can be linked to its settings permanently in notification bar for quick access. - as usual.
• Xposed Framework of Wanam included in K-Settings, Installation start from there, reboots automatically. The Restart needs about 15 minutes.
• VIA Browser instead of Chrome
• AdAway - newest release
• And much more...
7) Phone Manager and the app PMPlus:
Phone Manager does not include the Autostart Manager in European Firmware. The advantage is: you do not have to worry about anything, everything is controlled automatically - and also works. But the battery consumption is slightly more, since all apps wait in the background to be called.
With the app PMPlus, you can activate the Autostart Manager in the Phone Manager. To do this, start the app, go to Installation and as soon as the succesful message comes, close the app (can be uninstalled thereafter). Now, on screen two of the Phone Manager, the entry "App auto-launch" appears!
But NOTICE - through this upgrade will initially set ALL Autostarts to 0 ! You must manually enable the most important apps in App auto-launch - all apps that should receive push notifications - and, most importantly, SuperSU in the Classic Edition and Magisk Manager in the Magisk edition. Otherwise Root permissions do not work!
Advantage: You have control over which apps should not start at system start or in the background (if you need it rarely)
But you must always remember to activate a newly installed app there if necessary. Example: Amazon, E-Bay, PayPal - some of these apps are coupled and not only need the autostart to work , but also the so-called " app activation " (which appears in Autostart Manager when such apps are installed)
Disadvantage: If the apps are not configured correctly in the mask, you have more trouble than good. So, if you're not control freaks, then let's keep your fingers out of it.
But if you want to activate this function, it is recommended to do it at the end, if you have already installed all the apps you are using and not before!
8) Disable Chinese Letters:
The Rom is European, but the K-Settings are from KangV. Thats why the Lunar component is installed in K-Settings (these are the only Chinese letters in this Rom).
To hide these, go to K-Settings:
1) Lockscreen and desktop settings and disable: "Lunar Calendar" and at "Desktop weather lunar"
2) Notification settings - disable: "Show statusbar lunar"
9) Save Battery:
NFC (with Android Pay) ist enabled by default - disable it and enable it only for the time you need it
VoLTE is enabled by default - disable it, if your mobile provider dont support it
Location Settings (menu: scan settings) disable WLan and Bluetooth Search while Wlan and Bluetooth is disabled, Navi Apps are working also without this setting.
Performance is enabled by default - change this in Akku-Manager (part of Phone Manager) to SMART
With "auto app-launch" (if you have installed) you can disable Apps which you use just sometimes.
Bluetooth enable it - if you use it and disable it - if you dont need it at the moment

1) Once you have installed with PMPlus the Autostart-Manager called: App auto-launch as a part of Phone Manager- WhatsApp, Viber and all those apps must be activated!
2) Activate these applications also in Protected apps
3) In Notification center activate for these applications - Priority display, Status bar, Banners and Lock screen
4) If these apps are available in Dropzone management - activate them
5) In Phone Manager /open Akku-Manager (Remainning) and in this mask open the settings-symbol above - deactivate Power-intensive prompt and deactivate "Close excessively power-intensive apps" and some lines below:
Activate: Keep Wi-Fi on when sleeping ALWAYS - Keep mobile data on when sleeping
Settings with Permissions and Notifications:
1) Open settings /Apps and search for WhatsApp. In this mask you find Permissions- and Notifications-Settings , go inside of both and set the needed permissions for the app and also "Alllow Notifications" and Priority display
Settings in Developer options:
1) one point after "use legacy DHCP client" - set: Mobile data always active
Additional Settings:
1) Settings /More - Open Mobile network and set: Mobile data - and Enable always-on mobile data
2) Open Settings /Wi-Fi and go to menu in the right corner below "Advanced setting" - set: Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep ALWAYS
3) Open Settings /Notification panel & statusbar - activate: Notification panel "Allow notification panel to be opened from the lockscreen if not password protected
4) Open Settings /Screen lock & passwords - activate "Show detailed notification info" and activate optional "Notification turn on screen"
For most users of ARROW Push-Notification for Chat-Apps are working now as they should (whitout converting them to system-apps like in Gratitude before) -
And for most users battery life is much more better than in Gratitude or in Stock Firmware.
But for some users not!
- Notifications coming not constant or not at all - andBattery life is worse than before - How can that be?
Answer: The complete different initial situation and sometimes also the settings.
Initial Situations (examples):
User A updated Lollipop with Stock Firmware to Marshmallow a long time ago (example: from b200 to b317) - after he was going to Custom Rom "Gratitude" - and from this time he was never back to any Stock Firmware and flashed new versions of Custom Rom always dirty.....
User B was also last on b317, after on "Gratitude" and flashed every new version clean, with Fullwipe.....
User C was last on b321a, after on "Gratitude" and flashed every new version clean, with Fullwipe but Arrow dirty....
User D was on Gratitude 5 and then he go back to Stock Firmware b370 - from there with OTA to b382 and after he flashed TWRP and did a Fullwipe before installing ARROW - this user has the best starting position! And for this user ARROW should work as provided
Why?
Custom Rom can only modifiy on Huawei Devices following partitions: system - cust - vendor (and nothing else!) Modem Updates, Updates for Push-Notifications and other sync services or battery software updates are coming with official Firmware!
The best performance for ARROW is given, if your Marshmallow Firmware and Bootloader and Modem.... is also up-to-date.
There is no need to do following steps, if you have flashed ARROW and everything is fine for you.
I would recommend to go back to Stock Firmware as an step between - before flashing ARROW - for Users which come from Gratitude and for Users which have already ARROW installed and issues with Push-Notifications or too much battery drain!
(STOCK-RECOVERY AND UNROOT IS REQUIRED - AND YOU NEED ALWAYS FULL FIRMWARE FROM CUSTOM TO STOCK) - see install manual below!
The Full-Firmware you download (no OTA Files please) should be minimal b370 (which is available for all models). After this EMUI-Installing with reboot to system you can use in settings the Update-App to receive the next OTA Update and install this also. If the Update-App says after installing "no more Updates available" it is okay!
Normally you can use one Full-Firmware above b370, for GRA-L09 it is b382 - alternatively you can use b391 - but a higher version like b391 seems not work (cause Rom is based on b391)

Install manual:
To go back to Stock Firmware you have to do following steps:
1) Backup what you need to backup! Use Huawei Backup and also Titanium Backup. NOTE: But dont restore in the new ARROW then system-apps or data from system-apps from previous system! Restore only USER-APPS. For Chat-Apps like WhatsApp, Viber, Skype use the built-in Backup function - but keep or backup the folder from those apps on internal memory (because you need them on the same place if you reinstall those apps)
Battery must have minimal 80% doing those steps....
2-A) Users of Classic-Edition: Open K-Settings /more settings /flash recovery - Flash official Recovery (grant Root-Permission) - this flashes Stock Recovery in half a second.
2-B) Users of Magisk-Editon: Please go to TWRP and flash Magisk-Uninstaller.zip to unroot your Phone. Users of Gratitude Magisk Edition should also flash unsu.zip (both linked in OP) After reboot make a connection with USB to your PC. With Minimal ADB and Fastboot program (on PC) flash Stock-Recovery. If you dont know how to do, ask me in this Thread. Download: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862705190
If you have Xposed Framework installed - uninstall it (Magisk Users in Magisk Manager/Modules - Classic Users in K-Settings /Xposed Settings /Install Xposed confirm - Reboot needs about 15min)
3) Download the Full Firmware for your model, unzipp it on your PC (mostly you get update.app and meta.inf)
4) Create a folder on internal memory or external SD and name it: dload
5) Copy only update.app and meta.inf (if meta.inf is present) in this folder. After DISCONNECT USB from Phone!
6) Reboot to Stock Recovery - with Restart menu (also possible with pressing Vol+ and Power-Button at the same time as long until Recovery is displayed)
7) Wipe Cache with Stock Recovery (it uses another engine than TWRP) and do after a Factory Reset. There is no need to restart the phone to system now. Go to:
8) Press Vol- and Vol+ (in the middle) and Power-Button at the same time, until phone reboots and EMUI-Software-Installing is displayed
9) Let the EMUI-Installing finishing - it reboots automatically to system and starts the EMUI-Optimizing - wait until Language-Selection is displayed. Make a short set up (You can skip the most) - but it is important to arrive the homescreen.
10) Go to Settings / About the phone and tap 7x (times) on Build-Number. It activates developer options.
11) Go to Developer options and activate USB DEBUGGING - after open Advanced settings /security and activate "Unknown Sources"
12) Connect Phone with USB to your PC (Accept the Fingerprint query with "always" on your Phone) Look, if Windows installed the right drivers so you have access to phone - if not install HiSuite http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/index.html and make a connection with HiSuite. Allow installing HiSuite on Phone. If you have access now, close HiSuite (also in Background).
13) Copy ARROW-Rom to your Phone.
14) With Minimal ADB and Fastboot flash TWRP: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862681510 - if you are unsure with the right commands, ask me in the Thread.
15) DISCONNECT USB Cable now from your Phone
16) Press Vol+ and Power-Button at the same Time until phone reboot (at the moment, Huawei Logo comes you can leave Power Button, but keep holding Vol+) Reboot to TWRP takes a while
17) Set up TWRP (allow modification, set language, screen timeout, time zone...)
18) There is no need to wipe internal SD (but if you like to do this, do it at first and restart after TWRP - then you must setup TWRP again)
18) Go to Wipe, Advanced Wipe and wipe: Dalvik&Cache, Cache, data and system
19) Install ARROW Rom
20) Restore User-Apps, but dont restore any System-Apps (or data from it) Chat-Apps install from Playstore, and use the built-in restore function.
ARROW should work now as ist should!
Men like always the best work!! I already intalled the Arrow ROM... At the moment working excellent... Congratulations :highfive:

Hi This is interesting - I am at home in two hours and loading up the apk for you.
I flashed both versions of the Rom about 20 times for testing several things and had always the App preinstalled...
I think it is cause of TWRP.
After making a Nandroid Backup before flashing the Rom it has problems to unmount and remount partitions.
If data was not mounted correctly, the App would not be preinstalled - cause it should go to /data/app
That's why I recommend, after making a Backup to Restart TWRP (reboot Recovery) before flashing the Rom...

Hi
Written in OP
"In ARROW are not included Chinese letters, with the exception of "Lunar" - which comes with K-Settings. Gratitude users know how to get rid of them. For all others:
1) Go to K-Settings, in there to:
2) Notification Settings / Show "statusbar lunar" - deselect.
3) Go to Lockscreen and desktop settings "Lunar calender + desktop wheather lunar" - deselect."
Great work, flashed it on my UL00 3 hours ago after wiping cache and dalvik cache only, everything seems to work alright, I can confirm that this ROM works flawlessly on UL00.

Hi Thank you for your feedback!
You have installed the ROM on the Middle Eastern variant UL00C185...
I am glad to hear that it not only works on GRA-L09
This is what I promised, but I wasn't 100% sure - cause I have only L09...
I am interested which build number is displayed in "About the phone"?
Thanks!
Everything is looking good so far. Thank you for your time and effort!
How do I activate automatic call recording? Is there a possibility of adding more regions to this rom? I have region specific software that fails. My digital satellite provider's software checks my region before it can work. I'm in South Africa.

Hi there Automatic Call Recording can be enabled that way:
Open the Dialer App - below left is a star, below right is the symbol for the settings menu. Open it and there you can enable automatic call recording.
For the other issue: Can you give me a link to an African Marshmallow Huawei Stock Firmware? So I can look at it and perhaps include the Region.
Which Region did you set up right now?
Thanks very much man!
Flashed it last night, after it took me half an eternity to backup all my files (had something messed up so I had to look a bit deeper). Flashing and all was fine, including xposed via magisk.
Been using it the day now, but at 2 Things im not sure if it is caused by the Rom or by the latest whatapp update:
-in widgets i can select WhatsApp - but there is no more this huge 4*2 widget with message-preview, does anybody else have this? (only WhatsApp Chat and WhatsApp camera available there)
-even though i have given WhatsApp all permissions, my Screen won't wake up when i receive a message. It was quite usefull while the phone lay at my table i could see in one glance whether or not it was important and decide to pick it up
....okay i have tried a bit and found out my Screen also won't wake up after receiving sms or email.. where could i look after that? every app has "Show on lockscreen" enabled
There was another thing, which i could't read fast enough, but it was something with kvip Settings and some overlay permissions and a path where to find them or so?
it popped up a couple of times at the beginning (those little messages in the lower middle of the Screen, just like "wifi connected") next time i will try to make a screenshot of that.
edit:
@Tecalote congrats for 500 Posts and 300 likes! :good:
@Tecalote your ROM IS ****ing awesome, congratulations!!!

@ChavezD For the Wakeup Screen you must open Phonemanager and in there the Notification Manager. Every App like WhatsApp and Gmail, Email... is in the list - open WhatsApp or Email in the list and set up "Showing on Homescreen" and everything.
The other things I must look. Small popup messages should be shown, like "RAM 1.7 GB available, Wifi connected".. I must look later, at the moment I am not at home
Edit:
For enabling the Wakeup on Homescreen - you must go to Settings /Screenlock and Password - and there set up : Notification turn on screen!

@Tecalote yeah those Settings are all activated, really don't know what went wrong for me again or what i broke..
EDIT: OH god damn it, thank you so much! I hope i didn't actually disable it half sleeping this morning/"night"
Take your time, it wasn't annoying or anything, just wondered what it was. But it's exactly as you described, but not just 4 words but 4 rows or so in the same time period.
Maybe im also gonna reflash and not install every stupid app i've installed once. Is there any Chance to stop Google from automatically downloading all (>100) recently installed apps after reflashing a Rom? [I always Flash clean, so.. no dirty Flash for me^^]
Edit2: I think in those Messages i was talking about it wasn't Overlay - it was Dropzone. But still no clue what i should do there, everthing is allowed that wants to be

Hi again You can stop Google from downloading the previous installed Apps at the first start. After Google Login you will be asked if you want to restore - just deny.
Don't know yet what you exactly mean with 4 rows in the same time.
Do you mean perhaps Toast Messages? There's for example an Xposed Modul called "Perfect Color Bar" - in this you can enable "Toast" with mixed compatibility. After you get instead of the the small black info messages colored ones with the symbol of the App message. There are also other "bars" on the Repo for customization that messages.
Do you remember which official firmware did you have before using Custom Roms like Gratitude? b317, b321a, or b370? I know, there were some modem updates coming with the official firmwares (which cannot be done with Roms on Huawei Phones)
Maybe you should update to officially Firmware as an step between before reflashing the Rom. For this you would need the Stock Recovery, which can flashed from K-Settings, more Settings. On xda you can find the b391 here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p8/how-to/firmware-huawei-p8-b391-gra-l09c432-gra-t3534020
It would refresh the Rest of your Phone (which cannot be reached by ROM) - and after the ROM can work as it should...
Just an idea

Introduction:
What is AOKP ?
AOKP stands for Android Open Kang Project. It is a custom ROM distribution for several high-end Android devices. The name is a play on the word kang and AOSP (Android Open Source Project). The name was sort of a joke, but it just stuck, just like our infatuation with unicorns.
We fork the source code of Android that Google puts out in the open with every major version release, and we then add the magical unicorn bytes (read: we add some of the coolest features that are both useful and make your ROM awesome).
With AOKP, you can generally do a lot more with your device than what you could do with the original firmware that came installed on it.

FAQ:
1.) What to do if My Phone got bootloop or not booting ??
You have changed vendor, or modified vendor(not stock), OpenKirin vendor will never ever work,, so get Pure stock vendor of your device... it will work for sure... if still not, change you data filesystem...
2.) What to do if my SIMs are not working ??
Go to Extras, disable dual sim, reboot phone,, now read carefully,,
1. Install hex editor app from playstore
2. Make sure you have file explorer with root privileges
3. Open hex editor and find modem,id file on this location root/sys/firmware/devicetree/base/hisi,modem_id and open it.
4. Write down all numbers in first row
5. Then go to root/system/vendor and find phone.prop and open it with text editor.
6. Find your modem id by using search and type 0x3xxxxxx where X is your number from hex reader
7. Then make it look like this:
3.) What to do if my SafetyNet is not passed ??
Update Magisk to latest beta version, tick Magisk Hide and enable usb debugging...

First of all, i think you dont need to bother yourself...or me....
And 2nd thing, i assume that you didnot read whole OP carefully
Hi, First Big Big thanks for this awesome rom.
My device is GR5 Mini. NMO-L31C636
wipe data, dalvik, cache, system.
flash rom, Reboot.. But not booted.
Then reboot recovery.
Format data. (Now data is automatically f2fs.)
Reboot recovery & change the file system to ext4.
Reboot recovery then reboot system.
Now the device booted.. (Me & My 3 years old son like the boot Animation...... He want's this type of Horse now....)
Now booted. All is very fast & smooth.
Video cam working great. But I have some question :
01. As per op, Busy box pre installed. But with busy box checker " no busy box found", Is it OK? ( need Busy box for Viper4 ? )
02. Pc Suit "allow this device....." authorization is not showing.
So after connecting with computer, Pc suit connected with device, without enable file transfer. I can access contacts, apps, message. But can not access internal / external Sd card.
If I enable file transfer, pc suit disconnected. No Device showing, Restart both Pc & Device several times.
What can I do? Thanks.

Hi Hassan, Before connect to Pc, usb debugging option changed to MTP. Hisuit not connected.
then charging mode, hi suit connected. But no access on internal or external sd card.
PTP mode, Here I can access only internal Sd card DCIM & Picture folder. I can paste anything here. But sd card not accessible.
Need the "always allow hisuit ......" authorization required.

Hi, First Big Big thanks for this awesome rom.
My device is GR5 Mini. NMO-L31C636

flash rom, Reboot.. But not booted.
Then reboot recovery.
Format data. (Now data is automatically f2fs.)
Reboot recovery & change the file system to ext4.
Reboot recovery then reboot system.
Now the device booted.. (Me & My 3 years old son like the boot Animation...... He want's this type of Horse now....)
Now booted. All is very fast & smooth.
Video cam working great. But I have some question :
01. As per op, Busy box pre installed. But with busy box checker " no busy box found", Is it OK? ( need Busy box for Viper4 ? )

I will uninstall hisuit and try again.
1. Adb shows device is offline.
Then what should I do?
Confirming, very very fast ROM, no lagging. Huge customization option.
Viper working great, without flashing Busy box.
2. Did not find manually busybox install option.
Is it required/necessary to flash busybox with twrp?

DO READ ALL CAREFULLY ! I MEAN ..... ALL…
When installing this zip you have to know it’ll make your intSD to be formatted when you want to revert to Nougat (see later on) . So do follow instructions carefully, otherwise do flash something else….don’t want to see some tears due to this one
So, thought I upload my twrp zip of A2017 V3.0.0B01 MiFavor 5.2 based on @wineds backup (thnx mate !). And make a FULL GUIDE for it !
As some of you wanted to test out this V3.0.0B01(version2) not through EDL but via a regular twrp zip, here you go !
Pros and Cons but did my best to make it as it is...
PRO :
*stock rom with Dolby
*almost fully debloated of Chinese adware
*working magisk 15.3 and safetynet
*working adaway
*magisk modules working fine
*no call bugs
*no hickups or stuttering UI
*scaling up to 0.25 – much faster UI experience
*axon7 G bootanimation
*FP scanner less then 1/2sec response time
*…
CONS :
*didn’t manage to make system r/w through root explorers ; you can however delete and add files - or use twrp - i guess you’ll have to live with that and test for yourselves
*reboot time lasts langer then normal
*quick-charging does work but does not display that on screen
*dialer phone call list may show some chinese characters next to "mobile", "work". It's a translation of it.
*…
Procedure : READ CAREFULLY !!!!!
0. Download/place files onto extSD (not intSD) formatted as Fat(32)/exFAT (otherwise your extSD might seem “corrupt” when booted – see also PNW) :
a. Twrp3.2.1.5
b. A2017X_V3.0.0B01_O_SL!M rom
c. A2017X_V3.0.0B01_bootstack twrp3.2.1.6 incl
d. Modem G or U
e. A2017X_universalB15_twrp3.2.1.0 included and/or your bootstack of your running rom at the moment
f. Magisk 15.3
1. Do make a full backup of your intSD ! ( on pc or extSD like you want ). You’ll loose your intSD when reverting back and needs formatting to EXT4. YOU ARE WARNED!
2. Install twrp3.2.1.0 (if not already running) !
3. Do make a full backup in twrp3.2.1.0 of your entire working rom (boot, modem, system, data)(if not already done)
4. Boot into twrp3.2.1.0 and flash twrp3.2.1.5(a), reboot in recovery AGAIN ( do not boot system)
5. Wipe system/data/cache/dalvik
6. Install (b) rom
7. Install (c) bootstack
8. Install (d) modem (G/U)
9. Flash magisk 15.3 (f)
10. Wipe cache/dalvik
11. Reboot
12. Tap power on “5sec” and “30sec” screen ( I know….the corrupt boot is awfull,,don't blame me...)
13. You’ll be powered off/red lights
14. Power for around 10sec and you’ll boot
15. Tap middle circle on bootpage, choose English, setup wifi,check in,…..
16. You’re on !
17. Uncheck auto update into Playstore !
18. Check safetynet magisk. Should be ok
19. Check adaway. Should be ok. If not : check “systemless hostst” under magisk/settings
20. Enjoy adless youtube
21. ….
You can add the new JoJoc module in magisk to juice up your battery-life :good:
Tip : disable left page (Mi-board) with long press on home screen/goto more/uncheck Mi-Board
REVERT PROCEDURE to Nougat : READ CAREFULLY !!!
1. Boot into twrp3.2.1.6
2. Flash twrp3.2.1.0 and reboot into recovery AGAIN (not into system !)
3. You will see you have to “cancel” and swype and you’ll have to format intSD again. But first look also if you see your old twrp backup you took earlier into the restore option
4. When so, go into wipe/advanced/wipe/choose data/change filesystem to EXT4
5. Then go into wipe : wipe system/data/cache/dalvik
6. Restore your old twrp backup
7. Flash universal B15 ! (for nougat)
8. Reboot
9. Red lights...but power again for some secs
10. You’ll boot
11. When booted, reenter twrp again and flash ( if needed ) your own bootstack again ( in my case on G I flashed the B09 bootstack (slim4) and in same flash also the B09-removeBLwarning )
12. Reboot and you’re on your old running rom now

It's all in procedure you know. And no you'll have to install 3.2.1.5. Later on, when bootstack is flashed you'll end up even on 3.2.1.6 to not corrupt your data EXT4 partition.
Anyway, read carefully and do all as described!!! This is not a regular flash
Is this the official oreo rom by zte? How is the performance compared to nougat?

Based on this. ZTE release beta V3.0.0B01 MiFavor 5..2
Performance is up to you to test. For me it has no lags only the ones mentioned in OP. When listening f.e. on youtube, imo sound quality is way above N.
Battery with Jojoc tweak is comparable to N.
Also less then 1/2sec for FP scanner. So no bug there as before.
Test it yourself and compare :good:
Why this version and not B07?
Did not boot on my U version. Waiting on animation for 15 minutes
Booted for me (A2017G).
Fingerprint sensor is veeeery slow when phone has been sleeping.
For adaway, I had to change the setting in Magisk, as mentioned in the OP.
Other than that, it seems ok. It would be nice to have a way of applying the B07 OTA though.
Thanks again raystef66!!!

Did you see the red light blink?
Have you flshed 3.2.1.5 before you flshed my rom and so on.. ?
What happens when keep holding power ?
If no go , wipe system/data/cache/dalvik again and redo procedure all over.
Edit : if all fails : flash this

Yeah, V3B07 would be great (i worked on it before) but then again for now no dolby when rooted and vice versa afaik. Therefore i worked on this one.
For G version (not sure about U) , if you want to disable nav_bar, use my navbar df!nr

OOS stable for Oneplus 6T Global
This thread is an attempt to make things clean for OP6T users.
It will contain latest zip links for OOS stable.
It will contain a brief guide on how to root, install TWRP , how to update with or without those elements.
6T global edition is supported by thread readers and me, and T Mobile converted specific concerns will be handled by community under the supervision of @Scott, thanks to him for the help.
It will not contain basics like ADB and Fastboot connection with a computer. Experiment, read, there are many and many tutorials on the internet for that. Don’t forget there is a world outside XDA and that you can perform a search on any search engine to grab information.
It will not cover by decision the ‘patching boot.img’ method for gaining root. It’s not necessary to use it when we have a working TWRP and Fastboot. If you want to try it search on the internet about ‘extracting boot.img from payload.bin’ and then use Magisk Manager to patch it.
Please NO discussion about: Magisk itself, custom kernels, debloating (whatever method you want to use), custom ROMS… Only STOCK STABLE OOS.
If you just want to flash custom kernels, no need to have TWRP, Ex Kernel Manager and Franco Kernel Manager for example can take care of that (see Play Store to grab those apps), and backup your stock kernel.
ALWAYS USE LATEST VERSIONS of the different tools used. Don’t ask for help if you’re using 6 months old TWRP or Magisk. Update it first.
First a bit of what I have understood about our phone, and its main specificity, i.e A/B slots.
A/B slots, what else ?
This structure is meant to enable to have two different versions of the SAME ROM, one slot will contain the previous version of the ROM, the other slot will contain the updated one. If you are on slot A and running 10.3.0, the update process will lead to have 10.3.0 on slot A and 10.3.1 on slot B. On next boot the bootloader will automatically boot updated one (i.e slot B will be flagged as the active one). In case of issues during boot process the bootloader will switch the active slot back to the ‘old’ version(here slot A) that was booting fine.
This means that IT’S NOT a dual boot feature!! If you want to run a custom ROM it’s better to have the same custom ROM on both slots and not a mix of OOS and custom ROM. But that’s already OT so let’s stay focus, each custom ROM should provide clear instructions about that.
Having a slot phone means that there is no Recovery partition. So if you ‘fastboot flash boot twrp.img’ it will overwrite your boot partition and thus the ROM kernel and can lead to issues. The .img file is only meant to be temporarly booted. Recovery (stock or TWRP) is a part of the boot ramdisk.
Some simple facts about slots and flashing in TWRP:
Flashing a whole ROM (OOS for example) will automatically flash it to the currently inactive slot and switch it to be the active one (that works also with stock recovery, when performing a ‘local update’)
Flashing a ROM overwrites completely the boot partition (in recent Android versions, flashing process is using partition RAW images and not files like it was before): that means that TWRP and Magisk (if present) will be ERASED.
Flashing TWRP installer will flash it AUTOMATICALLY ON BOTH SLOTS (and will erase Magisk if present)
Magisk (and GAPPS but it only applies to custom ROMs), when flashed with TWRP is only flashed in ACTIVE slot. That’s why you must REBOOT to recovery BEFORE flashing Magisk to have it installed on the active updated slot. And that explains why you must flash it last.
That said, if you stay on OOS, YOU DON’T care about slots, just remember those basics to understand why you have to respect some steps, and let the recovery take care of slots. Messing manually with them results often in soft bricks
Downloads
OOS stable full signed zips: thanks to @Some_Random_Username, @Titokhan, @trollavin (their thread here)
If the above doesn’t work anymore just let me know I’ll find something else.
FYI you can still go to Oneplus website but they take time to update it to latest version… And there is no archives.

ROOTING (+/- TWRP)
Magisk zip is to be found here
TWRP latest .img and installer are to be found here
Don’t use all-in-one tools, you’re a grown up person you can to it by yourself. Yes you can.
If you're not rooted and run an OOS version older than 10.3.1, update your phone normally to latest OOS stable version then do as below
If you’re not rooted and running 10.3.1 or higher, those are the simplest steps to gain root.
Unlock your bootloader (will wipe everything…): “fastboot oem unlock” from a computer (see beginning of OP to know why I don’t detail this) with phone in fastboot mode
Grab latest Magisk zip on your phone and latest TWRP .img on your computer (AND TWRP installer .zip on your phone if you want to install TWRP permanently). Boot in fastboot mode your phone.
Then :
“fastboot boot twrp_latest.img” (adapt to the name and path of your twrp file)
within TWRP, flash TWRP installer .zip if you want to keep TWRP
flash Magisk zip (always AFTER flashing TWRP)
Reboot
(you can theoretically use the TWRP feature ‘install recovery ramdisk’ to avoid flashing twrp installer but never tested)
Note: please STOP using blue_spark TWRP!!! Support for OP6T has been stopped long time ago, only OP6 twrp is still actively supported by eng.stk (errors are mandatory if you flash it on 6t). I even see people that use a 3.2.x version of blue_spark...
UPDATING WITHOUT ROOT
If your bootloader is locked (meaning no root no TWRP, factory state), the update process is trivial, OOS (or Oxygen Updater if you use it) will grab a patch file (around 100MB max usually) and will apply it and will ask you to reboot. Everybody should be able to do this as it’s the normal way every phone on earth updates itself… If major changes are present sometimes you’ll have the whole ROM file. It doesn’t matter anyway it leads to the same destination.
If your bootloader is unlocked but without root, the only difference is that OOS (or Oxygen Updater) will download the WHOLE ROM (around 1.8GB) and will apply it then ask for rebooting
UPDATING WITH ROOT (+/- TWRP)
Whole ROM update is mandatory. You can wait for System Update to download it or grab manually the zip file or use Oxygen updater. You then go in Settings > System > System Update > clic on the upper right cogwheel then choose ‘Local Update’ and select the zip file (If you download the OTA .zip file manually you must place it in the root of user data, like /data/media/0/ i.e the user internal storage, or eventually in the .OTA folder if there's one. If you use Oxygen Updater or System automatic donwload it will be right placed).
The following update method is the preferred one (even if you have TWRP, recommended by some TWRP devs) due to frequent changes in partitions by OnePlus
apply the ROM update via Settings > System > System Update > Local Update
DON’T REBOOT
Open Magisk Manager
[If you have TWRP, go in Modules menu, clic on ‘+’ and choose latest TWRP installer zip file on your phone. Don’t use Retention A/B Script Magisk Module I had issues with it] [then stay in Magisk Manager and do the next step]
On main screen of the app clic on ‘install’ next to Magisk paragraph
On the pop up menu confirm ’Install’
On the next pop up menu clic on the last entry: install on inactive slot (after OTA update)
Then only reboot.
The order can be changed (the most important thing to preserve is Magisk, TWRP is easy to flash back):
Update without taking care of TWRP, just Magisk part ("install to other slot after OTA thing")
Once rebooted to updated system, flash TWRP as a module with Magisk Manager
Install Magisk again using Magisk Manager ("direct install" option)
There are infinite debates about uninstalling or not Magisk Modules before updating. Most of the times nothing to touch, sometimes there could be issues, instead of uninstalling perhaps just inactivate them by precaution before updating.
Note: If you are rooted and run an OOS version older than 10.3.1, the above method should work, but you can also update your ROM to latest stable without taking care of root/TWRP and then root again as described in post #2
If you want to try TWRP way:
Reboot to TWRP
Flash OOS update
Flash TWRP installer
Reboot to Recovery
Flash Magisk
Reboot System
IF YOU ARE INTO A SOFT BRICK
Don't forget the Vol+/Vol-/Power_button combo that can save you from a non responding phone...
If you can boot in fastboot mode, flash the stock ROM with fastboot. A little trick is to edit the flash-all-partitions**.bat and remove ‘-w’ (-w means that the partition will be wiped before flashing) from the script, it will prevent personal data wipe. Or flash manually all partitions one by one, without ‘-w’ flag evidently. Some partitions can’t be flashed with fastboot, for that once booted back to OOS, download and install by ‘local update’ method the same ROM version you’ve just restored with fastboot (see the linked thread to know why, emojis issues for example sometimes).
If you can’t go in fastboot mode, use Oneplus MSM tool. See there and there.
Thank you for the time and effort for this thread as I just came from a Sony XZ1 as I was a bit confused by the different posting on how to do what...
Thanks for a detailed post.

Very nice. Subscribed. Thank you.
I've been trying to do this for the past 8 hours.
Here's what I do, please tell me where am I going wrong
- msm 9.13
- update to 9.17
- local upgrade to 10.3.1
- boot system to enable oem unlock, usb debug
- boot to fb, unlock bootloader
- boot system
- boot fb, boot twrp
- flash twrp, both slots
- reboot twrp
here I get different results:
- try to install magisk, all internal storage encrypted. sideload, but still no cigar. try to install on both slots by rebooting twrp to a and b and sideloading magisk, still no cigar
OR
- flash magisk, boot system, no magisk
OR
System boots, we have root, we have everything, but file manager shows emptyness. Can't modify any files on internal storage. Via phone and via PC.
Now tell me what am I doing wrong, please

I think you should format data after unlock. I think it's kinda safety feature if some1 try to get into your storage by unlock bootloader. But wait by some1 to confirm

I know you managed to sort things as you posted it in another thread. Anyway I don't understand why you had to do all those steps .... But anyway the goal is achieved

As far as the change log, that could be a challenge. I have never been able to find the full change log for the international version. The T-Mobile Version is here: https://www.t-mobile.com/support/devices/android/oneplus-6t/software-updates-oneplus-6t. Because this is something we can direct link to, I dont think it should be included in full text here on XDA. I think a link the in first or second post under "useful info" would be sufficient.
As far as the international version goes, I know every verison number by heart.. worst case scenario, I could just google each OTA version and grab the change log from the from the first Android news site that pops up. Unless someone else knows of where one might be at? We could also start at version 10.0.0 because I feel anything older than that is irrelevant.
For changelogs it could be done eventually by grabbing them on the net. There is clearly something between Oneplus and changelogs....
I'm ask for an extra reserved post to have more space and avoid too long posts.
Changelogs added in post #4
