Ascend P7-L00 woes

Hi all, i have an Ascend P7-L00. knew everything was gonna be crap when i did a first sign in of google. but didn't noe it was going to be this bad.
1.) Google Accounts can't sync contacts. i have tried formatting the phone a few times
2.) mobile signal on slot1 will drop every once in awhile
3.) GPS signal will drop every few km travelled
4.) installed nova launcher cos the stock is real slow! my 2yrs old note2 doesnt have non of those issues at all. haiz.

Don't have the issue with sync, but I have the P7_L10 though.
Reception of signal is little more worse when I compare it with my prev phone: Sony Xperia S
Speed is good in my opinion.

haiz, now in thailand, using a local sim on slot1, occasionally it will show i am roaming, and no data is available, turning on data roaming doesnt get internet back on also.

I am experiencing similar problems with:
1) same problems for the google account. other people found solutions, but i just use outlook account instead for the time being. as remember the P7-L00 is a China unicom phone. so i try to workout how to report these to Huawei. buy i think you can send email to their USA or Europe support center: [email protected]
i will try to write a summary and send to this address. i think you need to do the same. otherwise no one knows what is going on?
2) 4G lte ( i am using Telstra's 1800mhz 4G), some times the signal drops, and the phone is trying to scan for wifi even i had wifi turned off. looks like there are some bugs there. it is very annoying when i am using skype to chat with someone, the in every few minutes i need to turn on the data again. somehow it switches off by itself, then start to scan for wifi ( even with the wifi disabled)? i did not see this problem until i start to use skype.....
4) the phone is very fast after i had removed/ disabled most of the Chinese apps. it is faster than my note 7105 lte.
hope anyone else can share some of the experience about these.

I do not update anymore, because in my eyes the Chinese ROM updates only prevent customisation on the phone.

i have just updated this new 124 version. it seams a bit smoother. but i will test the 4G LTE signal drop issues to see if the new version fix the problem. the new rom has new baseband. i think it may help the signal in 4G/3G, etc.

i would try to unroot it first. and doing a factory reset, then install the new factory 124ps01 firmware. I have two sim cards, the OTA is not ready yet, so i installed the upgrade via usb drive. just connect to a usb drive to your phone, and select update from usb.
most chinese apps can be removed, then only few huawei's apps which can be disabled. the new firmware experience is good, especially the network signal, and battery performance. i left the phone with airplane mode at 11:00 pm, and this morning at 9:00, it did not even drop 1% at all. tried few skype and other voip calls, and found that the 4G signal is more stable than before. the phone is also very fast. i was trying to root the phone before, but giving up due the new firmware does not allow root at this moment. but i think the factory firmware is optimized and it is very fast - much faster than my note 2 that i can compare with. so i am happy. i will give it a few more days test to see how it is going.

How to install Gapps to P7-L00
Everyone having problems with Google service on his/her P7-L00 (or other Chinese market variant) should be aware of the bad news: the phone simply lacks the good-old Google apps. But the good news is that you can install all required apps without rooting and/or flashing the phone. You can install them as any other Play app. It is so because the firmware has built-in two core apps: the GoogleServicesFramework.apk and GooglePlayServices.apk. These apps enable to install further Google apps.
The simplest way is to search the web for 'Google Installer' app (I think here, in XDA it's also present), download it and install to phone, and then the app itself provides a list from which you can choose the apps you need (Play Store, Gmail, Search, Hangouts, Translate -- whatever!).
Take note that both GoogleCalendarSync and GoogleContactSync app are very important to install otherwise you would not be able to use you Contact and Calendar apps with your Google account.

Want AOSP SOOO BAAAD! Any new news? :((((

Anyone know anything?

Yes, of course, pixels 3 just came out, that's it

since last time:
treble guy is making still another phone
ivan meler left cuz of toxicity of s8 xda people ( he said it )
able read what I write to him but he doesnt say anything
"bad guy" made bootable rom and left
I was trying almost half of year to find dev and do something myself but only thing I could do was fix?? mobile data in rr without fully working ril , ( So u are not able to call from it )
and there is sascha nesterowic who is making lineageOS16 ( If I am not wrong ) ,guy still got shool and he is trying to do something with it in free time so I wouldnt expect anything , better buy s9 or s7 cuz "8" serie is DEAD

If one was to load all of Google's apps (Dialer, launcher, keyboard, clock etc), then disable the Samsung apps using ADB, and install a Pixel theme, the phone would be almost AOSP and the camera would still work great.

Question Mi 11 Ultra China Rom

Just got my mi 11 ultra China Rom....installing google play store is easy etc.
But one weird thing....all my past google purchase is forgotten. Asking me to re purchase them all again. ????
Why?

Really? That's very weird.
I suppose you logged in using your Google account that had purchased everything, right ?

I suppose so...but it's not happening. LoL first time I encounter such issue.....

Maibe check the app google play store ( and google related ) permissions ( allow everything ) .
Also check if you have the other google related services installed ( framework , play services etc ) i know that google relies on several services in order to work ok.
Will try to post on Monday if i encounter any issues on my china variant.
Cheers !

Installed Google Service last night and pretty sure it's still asking me to repurchase before I hit the bed.....but this morning...vola !! everything back to norm, no longer ask me to repurchase.
Thanks

Do you intend to keep the Chinese firmware or flash to the global?

So far I don't have problems with China rom. Only one small thing with notification on the rear screen ( not showing all tough enabled ) but it works in other rims so must be something from my side..
Until I encounter serios issues, will not flash anything else

Did you run any debloat scripts or anything yet?

absolutely nothing yet, just uninstalled several Chinese apps from the xiaomi china store app .
Will see if i have any issues in the future and consider it

Have you already tested google pay?
Some people say it is working normal with the chinese version and other say it won't work.
I am a little bit confused because of that..

Is there anyway to disable the Chinese assistant stuff in miui launcher ?
I don't want to break anything yet or I might not be able to finish unlock and flash global rom

Tap and hold the home screen , settting, disable vault and search tap

Anyone tried using android auto? Didn't work for me

That worked quite well! There is no Chinese search engine or vault anymore!
Is it possible to put Google now on the miui launder where the Chinese vault used to be ?(swipe left from home screen)

May I know how to install Google playstore in Mi 11 Ultra?

Question Gestures and Nova?

Hi All
Currently running the china rom until I can flash the eu one in 7 days. Was just wondering is there anyway to use Nova and gestures?
I've installed fluid navigation, granted over adb and it works perfect until the screen goes off. As soon as the screen goes off it seems to kill fng which then doesn't work again until a reinstall. It's really weird

Hello,
Heard that it has something to do with miui optimizations, try disabling that from the developer options and let us know how it goes.
Cheers !

Thanks, tried that but still no joy. Works fine until the screen goes off then it completely kills it. Must be something with stock gesture taking over but they don't work with Nova

Using the edge gestures app and this seems to work..

sorry to hear that, i also have the premium Nova launcher app and waiting to see whenever they will make this possible. i even bought sesame integrations for it .
saw a workaround on the mi.com forum but that guy was using xiaomi.eu
https://c.mi.com/thread-3660446-1-0.html
Not willing to flash xiaomi.eu only for this functionality, not to mention that they really improved the stock launcher in miui 12 and 12.5 sounds even more interesting .
Cheers !

Working well now with edge gestures, even from the bottom.
The nova Google now page doesn't work though for some reason. Ive still got 6 days to decide whether I'm flashing eu or not lol

how did you now get it working?

Edge gestures from play store works great. Doesn't even need adb permissions.
My Google feed page randomly started working too on nova :/
Only issue currently is now with Google news widget. I can press the buttons to scroll through headlines but can't open it by pressing :/ unless I open the app first then the widget works again for a short while lol

Same, I thought I would have to flash the eu rom and use nova launcher but I can't live without gestures but after a day I figured out how to turn on the app drawer and get rid of the vault and all that Chinese nonsense.
They're is a lot of crap I could uninstall from the cmd line but I'm getting great battery life already and I don't want to break it .
After Watching a YouTube video on miui 12 features I learned how to make miui launcher almost like nova
Still have 5 days to decide whether to install the eu rom but I heard you can't relock the bootloader ( or it bricks ) and this will break all your finance and banking apps which would be unacceptable...

Question Installing Indonesia ROM with NFC on Globlal model without NFC.

Is there a problem if I install Indonesian ROM with NFC on Globlal model without NFC?
Will the phone get hard pricked or something?
P.S I change ROMs using miflashtool.

The phone will not die, but you will have problems with the software, such as not recognizing the camera after taking a picture, the flashlight does not work, you can not change the Hz of the screen ...
This happened with Xiaomi.eu a long time ago, since they use the base ROM for spesn (the NFC variant) and had not made the necessary modifications to work in spes (the non-NFC variant).

I did it. And nothing bad will happen. What NeoSDAP says about the camera is bullsh*t, the camera works fine.
Look out the thread I created about the process and the result:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/is-it-safe-to-flash-indonesian-rom-over-a-global-rom.4534777/
Don't install the version with Android 12, I tried it some time ago it's messed up: weird default configurations and options missed. I saw there's an update for it, that probably fixed that but still, do it under your own risk.
I'm still using the lastest Indonesian ROM with Android 11. Except for the fact that apps like Netflix can't be downloaded from the Play Store because of the lack of Play Protect certification, everything else works like a charm. For apps you can't download from the Play Store like Netflix, you can download them from sites like APKPure and they work, so it's not really a problem either.
Good luck.

It also has the Mi Calendar app instead of Google's and the Mi Browser (besides Chrome). It also has the "App Vault" option for the left screen (-1 says the Launcher), not only Google Discover like the Global ROM. And the best thing about it for me it's that it's an official ROM. It's not a custom ROM that who knows what the hell was modified in it. I've using it for months and everything works fine.

NFC is hardware dependent. If your phone doesn't have the required hardware, NFC won't work. This is similar to FM radio.
I wouldn't suggest flashing ROM for another region on your phone, especially if your bootloader is locked. If you unlock your bootloader, it will give you a lot of flexibility and ability to troubleshoot problems.

So, you hate the apps just because they're from Xiaomi?? Why did you buy a Xiaomi phone then?? If you love Google so much, you should've bought a Pixel phone.
