Welcome to the Huawei U8860 Honor / Honour / Glory - Index!
(please treat this thread as dev-thread, it is part of a dev-forum, not Q&A)
Please don't PM me for support, I will ignore those requests - they are just too many and I'm not getting paid for that, I'm not huawei support. Just ask your questions somewhere in the forum, but in my opinion this thread is really not the place for it, since this is a developer forum and not the Q&A section. That's why xda-developers adds restrictions to post here for new users - to prevent this to be a Q&A-Forum. Please Try to ask your questions in the appropriate Q&A-Section of the xda-developer Forum.
Different versions of the Huawei Honor
There are two feature differences that I am aware of:
Number of Touch-Points: 2 or 5; I have 2 touch-points and with B977 my ProjectMenu just printed "synaptic" as touchscreen version, with B919 it states "synaptics-TPK.6"
Position of Huawei Logo on the back: in the top-left corner (china / russia?) or in the middle like this: http://kaefert.is-a-geek.org/huawei_honor/IMG_7491_small.JPG
It seem's there are versions without a camera? at least user limzm states in his signature his U8860 doesn't have one.
Backup & Recovery
In my opinion the first and most important thing when playing around with different ROMs, is the ability to backup and restore the phones ROM & state.
For this you need a custom recovery (which you will also need to flash custom ROMs, so you might only skip this if you want to only flash stock ROMs)
If you're on an 2.3.6 ROM, then possibly for this to work, you first need to flash a different stock ROM. There have been reports that with 2.3.6 the method below may not work. Also some newer ROMs like B923 and above have locked boot loaders, the latest ICS ROM that you can use for this is B919
NEW: CWM 6.0.1.0 with touch-support: MOD EDIT: Link removed.
OLD: download recovery-u8860-en.img from here MOD EDIT: Link removed.
make sure there is no directory named "dload" on your micro-sd-card - if there is, rename or remove it.
Turn off Fast-Boot, and shutdown your phone. If you don't know how to turn off Fast-Boot, pull the battery (it can be found in different places in different ROMs)
Press and hold volume-up, volume-down and power-button at the same time.
You should now see your phones screen pink (="pink screen mode")
Now connect your phone with an USB cable to a computer
A few disks should be mounted, search for the one that has an "image" folder with an recovery.img and a boot.img inside it. rename the recovery.img to recovery-bak.img (or simular) and copy recovery-u8860-en.img there and rename it to recovery.img
WARNING: Don't use the file recovery_v8.img which is referenced in a few other guides. It crashes and leaves you with non bootable phone-states and/or with unfished backups which cannot be restored.
ROMs
Stock ROMs (& leaked stock ROMs)
Stock ROMs (or leaked stock ROMs) can be flashed like this:
Download and unpack onto your micro-SD Card like that: /mnt/sdcard/dload/UPDATE.APP (some ROMs also have UPDATE_CUST.APP, copy it to the same place. If you're update has a second dload_cust (or the like) folder, you need to flash it in a second round just as the first one, by renaming it to "dload")
Turn off Fast-Boot, and shutdown your phone. If you don't know how to turn off Fast-Boot, pull the battery (it can be found in different places in different ROMs)
Press and hold volume-up, volume-down and power-button at the same time.
If everything above was done correctly, you should be able to watch your phone upgrading now.
Alternative: Some ROMs have an option in the settings that lets you start the upgrade-procedure without step 2.) and 3.) from above. If you can find it, you can use that one.
You can find stock ROMs here:

Custom ROMs
To flash custom ROMs:
download their .zip file and put it somewhere on your sd-card
boot into your custom recovery: turn off phone completly, then Long press volume up + power button (for installation of custom recovery see top of this post)
factory reset / wipe everything (not always necessary, but to be on the save side. Some ROMs will not work in some cases if you don't wipe first, however the other way round is also possible, there are custom ROMs that will NOT work if you wipe, best look at the instructions from where you downloaded the custom ROM..)
flash update zip -> choose zip from sd card.

WARNING: most MIUI-ROMs have SMS-confirmations turned on by default, which costs extra with many providers (like mine..) so check it before sending your first SMS and turn it off

Custom Kernels
I found a custom kernel that adds the option to overclock up to 2GHz. I'm used it running at 1.8GHz and it didn't seem to be any more unstable than before (I'm using the MIUI ROM which is a little bit instable all by itself already)
MOD EDIT: Link removed since you need to register to download the kernel, I also attached it MOD EDIT: Link removed to make it easier for you.
I also managed to build (and deploy) the 3.0.8 kernel sources provided by huawei myself, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23505650
With the help of the writer of rvoix I managed to adept our kernel in a way that rvoix works, but for the moment only mono so both parties mixed together in one channel (but recorded from the line, not only from the mic like most apps do). I attach the kernel that works with rvoix: View attachment boot_voc2.img.
Or for people wanting to build their kernels themselfs, here's the patch: http://code.google.com/p/rvoix/sour...pdragon/kernel/huawei_honor_u8860_rvoix.patch
UPDATE: Since our kernel sources don't work with B919 and later (non functional camera and wifi) I decided to go the other way round and modify the rvoix app to work with our kernel instead of adapting the kernel to work with the app. Here are the results: http://code.google.com/p/rvoix/downloads/detail?name=rvoix_mod_kaefert_v2.apk --> call recording that should work with all huawei honor 4.0.3 ROMs!
Various pointers
Adapting Chinese ROMs
Adding Google Apps (like the Market) --> Download zip from here http://goo-inside.me/gapps and flash it with recovery
Remove unwanted chinese system apps --> I do it with QtADB --> http://qtadb.wordpress.com/ But I guess you can also do it with some root app management apps
Change to languages that are not choosable in the standard language setting --> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale
Reading chinese sites
People who don't use google chrome or the chromium project (yet) probably don't know, that it has a really nice built-in translating feature, thats very useful for finding your way arround all these chinese (or russian) websites, and much better then using translate.google.com (or other such services) manually with other browsers.
Miscellaneous
Silent Huawei camera (ICS)
I was annoyed one day by all the noises the huawei camera simulates. Therefore I investigated and found out how to make it silent.

Hi guys.
I've just cleaned this thread and would like to remind everyone about some points, so that they're not repeated in the future, and explain all the missing links you may notice.
Warez is strictly forbidden on XDA. Please do not link to websites that provide it, or to ROMs that contain pirated apps.
Kernels are licensed under the GPL. This means that the kernel's source should be provided. If it is not, it's illegal and will be treated as warez as far as XDA is concerned. In simpler terms: if you're posting a link to a ROM that contains a kernel, or a kernel, make sure the kernel's source is available and link to it as well.
Recoveries that aren't based on stock and that use a zImage (which is covered by the GPL) must also be provided along with the source.
Links to competing or commercial websites are not allowed. Links to websites that require registration to access downloads are also not allowed (there are exceptions, please see rule #11 for more info.)
Credits must be given, and you must have permission to share the work. Assuming that you do: if this goes against the point above, you may mention the member/website without linking directly to his work. Point #2 still applies - a link to the kernel's source must be provided if necessary.
I realize this may have caused links to your favorite custom ROMs to be removed, and I apologize about that. Many of you clearly put a lot of effort into building, maintaining and helping with this index. However, all posts must respect the rules first and foremost.
Please PM me if you have any questions or if you need further clarification.
Thanks for understanding.
Hey thanks so much for helping with this. I followed your guides and managed to get my Honor rooted and on an ICS version. Thanks so much.

Well, I've been using it for 2 days now. I wouldn't call it stable, it has some rough edges, sometimes some system app crashes (like in the beginning I had a problem with the SMS-app), and I've had 2 complete system crashes (forced reboot) while running oruxmaps for navigation & gps-logging with my byclicle.
Check with you, if i installed the custom recovery, and root, can i revert back to stock by flashing via the settings menu or the vol/power button combination and stock rom in load directory?

Well the settings menue doesn't contain the huawei upgrade option in every ROM (for example not in the MUIU ROM), but the volumn up+down while booting will probably work, I haven't tried though. The upgrade directory however has to be call "dload", not "load".
To revert back to a previous ROM I find it much better to use the nandroid backup and recover options that every recovery image I saw yet contains. However be careful, the recovery-v8.img posted on some other places is instable and crashes before the backup is finished. you won't be able to recover such an incomplete backup. Always check if you have some backup complete message, it should NOT reboot automatically after making a backup.

What is in MIUI rom better than the official rom that you like?

Well the MIUI ROM has much more configuration options, for example you have a statusbar settings page where you can choose between default battery icon, percentage number or the top pixel row in green. Or also the MIUI theme chooser is really nice.
Another useful thing is the permission manager thats included that (if you config it that way) asks you whenever an app tries to use a permission that its defined to require. for example if you have an app that has the permission to send sms then the permission manager will ask you the first time that the app really sends an sms if you want to allow or deny it, and also if you want to save your choice or if it should ask next time again.

Hmm. Well the only ideas I have:
1.) Theres a 2G+3G / 2G only switch, in the MIUI ROM I linked in my first post you can reach it like this:
Home Screen --> Settings --> More... (4th point under the heading Wireless & Networks) --> Mobile Networks --> Only 2G-Networks
If that switch is on, than obviously your phone won't connect to a 3G network
2.) Your not in range of a 3G network?

The ROMs that I know of and that I've tried you find in the first post. I found the loader (=desktop) of the non-MIUI ROMs to be faster and snappier. (However, the MIUI is more feature-rich)
Okay thanks alot I think I'm gonna give MIUI a try. Downloaded the latest version from the MIUI website. Have you tried any CM Release?

As far as I know there is no CM (cyanogenmod) ROM for the Huawei U8860
There has been a lot of unpleasantness within the small community of THL W100 owners in the past couple of days which have ended with the closing of a few threads, which I find quite disappointing, as there was a lot of good information in them, and some useful links, most importantly for me, a link to a download of the THL W100 stock rom, which I have only just realised I do not possess any more. If anyone has this on their computer, please, please upload it so we all can benefit.
I'm planning on starting a custom rom for the THL w100, but I can't start it without the stock rom. I have access to the ThL.W100.130701.JBV2.HD.EN.COM.8P32_MT6589 ROM, but I am looking for the first hardware revision's stock ROM.
Things I am planning on doing to the rom include
Stock AOSP Lockscreen
Screenshot in power menu
Dictionary fix
Optional resizing of "internal SD card" into phone storage
Hopefully a camera fix for the newer hardware
Easy GPS.conf
Some minor speed tweaking
Integration with the amazing GravityBox
No Bloat!
That was the majority of my ideas I believe, I wrote them previously in a thread which ended up being deleted unfortunately.
Please note that I do not care about donations, and I am most certainly NOT trying to rip off or steal from any other THL W100 custom ROM developers.
Hopefully the THL W100 users can find this thread and assist on my search, and together we can build a great custom ROM for the THL W100, a very deserving phone!
awesome, what has happened? admins delete all the thread? omg and all our post and aditional info too?
what happened to roeddie, phenomenal xp?, i came too late maybe

You've accessed the THL stock recovery I think, you need to flash CWM onto your phone.
it definitely is the THL recovery, there are quite a few options to select from, would be nice if we could get a better handle of what the THL recovery is capable of, may have its own built in ROM Flashing capabilities with no need to use CWM.

No SIM card detected
Hi guys,
First, thank you very much for all these up-to-date builds.
I've install Ubuntu Touch, the last Nightly, the last 2.2 and the last 2.1 (available on your site) with MultiROM on my Nexus 5. Unfortunately, all FirefoxOS installations have the same problem : my SIM card is not detected. Neither Ubuntu Phone nor Android 5 have this issue. Does anyone already seen that ? Any clue on how to fix that problem ? I'm also French with "Free" French network, in case that could help.
Thanking you in advance,
Regards,
Colin Chargy

I use Multirom with Cyanogen, Ubuntu and Firefox and my provider is Free, like you, and I do not have this issue...
Did you try to update your radio and bootloader ?
Thank you! I'm starting to try
Hello,
I'm a new happy owner of a Nexus 5 with the latest Android Lollipop, because I wanted to be able to try Firefox OS (and Ubuntu Touch also, maybe later).
I want to thank Vosky and Tasssadar for their work because without this post and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/mod-multirom-v24-t2571011
I would not have decided to give it a try.
Now, let's hope everything will work smoothly and I won't come back to help to much for help.
Thank you again and hope to not read you to soon
Thatoo
Hello everybody,
I'm coming back to you so soon.
However, it's for a great news. I have FFOS et Ubuntu both install on my Nexus 5! It went so smooth that I'm really impressed and I don't see any problem for anyone to install it even non developper.
I want to thank you because I'm really happy.
I'm going to describe what I did yesterday night to install it to confort other geek newebe to try.
Be free,

HOW TO INSTALL FFOS on your NEXUS 5 with MultiROM (Tuto for Beginner)
Hello dear excited non developer free fellow,
If like me, you want to try Mozilla FFOS on a phone and are tempted by trying a multiboot system on a Nexus 5, here is how I did, in just one evening.
First, I discovered this page, from Tasssadar
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/mod-multirom-v24-t2571011
and then, this one, well the one you are coming from actually, from Vosky,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/nightly-firefox-os-t2960953
I read the first page of Tassadar thread, and I didn't understand anything! It's normal if you do to, there are many words you need to get familiar with. Read it (not more than the first page for now), don't worry, we will come back to it later.
Then, you have to read all Vosky's Thread from page 1 to 9 (maybe after will be good too but at the date I'm writing, they are not written yet . A lot of your questions will be answered. Don't assume that my explanations will be enough, you need to have a bigger picture of the process, you need to read all these pages.
First, it gets clearer how you'll download FFOS. You have to download from http://ffos.vosky.fr/ from the Recovery column. Today, saturday 2015/05/09 you have three choices, two quiet stables versions called "Pre-releases", V2.1 is the one to choose if you don't have Android Lollipop, and V2.2 if you have Android Lollipop, then, if you want to try the last features and help to detect bug, you can go for the last "Nightly builds" which are the latest work done by Mozilla's team on FFOS 3.0.
Good, now you need to go back reading Tasssadar's Thread. If their are still word that you don't understand, check what they mean. I didn't read much of this one because I decided to go for the easiest way. I followed the "Installation Via MultiROM Manager app". On the page of the app,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tassadar.multirommgr
there is a great video. You need to watch it before going further.
If you are as newebe than me in this case, after installing the app, you'll have a red warning saying something like "MultiROM Manager app couldn't get root access". No worries, you just need to unlock and root your Nexus 5.
For That, I follow Chainfire's Thread here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/nexus-5-cf-auto-root-t2507211
and this very precise video,
http://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-root-and-unlock-the-google-nexus-5-xda-developer-tv/
I know it works for Android Lollipop V5.0 and V5.1 but earlier version, sorry, I don't know. Watch the video a first time entirely and then, watch it and pause after each step to catch up what they are doing. It's easy and very well explained. You'll need to download CF-Auto-Root here https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ . Look for the download link at the line Nexus 5.
Now, you can go back to the previous video, the one about MultiROM Manager app that you find here, remember,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tassadar.multirommgr
As you watch entirely before, you can follow it step by step, pausing sometime to catch up what they are saying. Read again "Installation Via MultiROM Manager app" paragraph on Tasssadar's Thread if a warning Kernel: doesn't have kexec-hardboot patch! in red letters appears. I install the default one called Stock 5.1 if I remember well (I have Android 5.1 installed on my Nexus 5).
Read again the beginning of my post to choose the FFOS version you need to download.
What is not said in the video is that when the download is finished, and he is going to Install, he is in an environment we are not so familiar, because they didn't explain earlier what it is. It's the recovery mode. You reach it after shutting down your phone and start your phone with pushing the down volume button. You'll find the little robot you've met earlier to Install CF-Auto-Root, you choose Recovery mode with up or down volume and select it with power button, then you will recognize what he is saying in the video... clicking on "Advance" and stuff.
The end is so easy, as far as you know where you put your zip file of FFOS in your Nexus 5.
Enjoy!
And if you want to install Ubuntu Touch, I don't need to give you any explanation, it's so easy. You just go back in your Android, in MultiROM Manager app and after choosing the Ubuntu you want, you click on Install.
I guess, my only request would be to ask our great devs Vosky and Tasssadar to work together in order to offer us a so well integration of FFOS than Ubuntu Touch inside the MultiROM Manager app. It would be perfect!
Don't forget to Thank Vosky, Tasssadar and Chainfire by clicking on the "Thanks" button (a thumb) at the bottom of their first post on their Thread, the button will become yellow. They are doing a great job! Tell them!
Now, if you have a problem to install FFOS or Ubuntu Touch on your Nexus 5, don't come after me, I can't help more than that. However, I'm sure if you ask a polite question on this Thread that has not been yet answered thousands time, you'll get a quick answer!
Enjoy freedom.
[Now, I have to figure out how to import my contact into Mozilla FFOS V3.0 from my Mozilla Thunderbird 31.6 without being friend of Google, and that my dear seems way much more complicated. A simple usb cable and a sync or even import button are out of dream today... how weird!]
HOW TO UPDATE your FFOS ROM !
It's not more complicated than installing. Download here, http://ffos.vosky.fr/ , the FFOS version you want, in the recovery column. Copy it in your phone.
You return in the recovery mode. You reach it after shutting down your phone and start your phone with pushing the down volume button. You'll find the little robot you've met earlier again, you choose Recovery mode with up or down volume and select it with power button, then you have to follow this path : click on Advanced - MultiROM - List ROMs - select your previous FFOS ROM and click on Flash ZIP - select the zip of the FFOS ROM you've just downloaded - SWAP- click on Reboot.
You've just updated your FFOS ROM!
screenshot and phone answering?
Hello,
I installed FFOS3.0, the same nightly build, on two nexus 5, one for me, one for my mum.
Two questions : once, my mum took a screenshot of an app, but she can't remember how, and I didn't manage so far to take any with my nexus.
How do you take a screenshot with FFOS 3.0 on your nexus 5?
[Then, don't ask me how is that possible but the way we both answer a phone call is different. I just have to click on on of the two buttons, a red on the left and a green a green on the right to decline or answer the call. She has to slide a button to left (red) or right (green) to do the same. How to choose if you want two buttons and click or one button to slide?]
I found the solution : if I switch on the developer mode, I have the two buttons but if I'm not in developper mode, I have the switching button.
Thank you,
A bigger firefox when the phone start?
Hello,
It's not a big deal but, at the starting of the phone, could the nice animated firefox be a bit bigger?
I like my firefox but I can't see him enough.
"Based on Mozilla Technology" is at a good size, but the animated firefox is way too small. If it could take all the screen, it woud be great! Don't you think?
Best regards dear mozilian,

Yes it works with MR. Read the main thread for more feedbacks.
Finally I'm using this Rom!
Basically it's cool but you know it has a long way to get much more stable & usable.
First of all I agree with that guy who suggested big Firefox animated on the boot screen.
Then I know this a new & fresh project but it needs more debugging.
For example at the first when I was trying to connect to ma WiFi after I touched the join button it takes more than 5mins to join ma network!
After that I downloaded some apps from store like Telegram, when I was trying to filled the blanks with ma phone number touchscreen didn't works & I already can't login with ma number cuz jumping from one blank to another blanks for registration has bug & I can't fill them!
In settings we've lots of problems,I can't manually change ma screen brightness from that swipe bar of it so I've to tick the auto brightness!
& also have a same problem in any swipe bars in menu like volume & alarms up & down when i touch them nothing changes!
Sometimes ma phone crash (stopped working) on menu & some apps like browser & I've to wait for response to continue ma job!
______________
There is more you know but I didn't remember all !
I really like this OS & in future hope so use this OS as ma major Rom on ma N5!
PLEASE WORK ON IT!!
and sorry fo ma bad English ?

Yes. I agree completely. I just got mine. I love the phone. Now, if I could root it, I could increase the dpi and delete the bloatware. It could be even better!

Same here, CM12 would be awesome on this beast. Check a few threads Chewy there is root, recovery and even a Custom ROM.
Indeed
CM12 would be amazing on this device... EMUI isn't for me
How can we make this happen?
First huawei should release the source. Then you'll have to find a developer.
If you don't like EMUI why not use a different Launcher?
I use Nova Launcher and you can customize it to your liking and EMUI is pretty much invisible.
I used CM12 on my Note 4 but I got pretty tired of updating every day. Even the latest X2 EMUI 3.1 Beta ROM is rock stable and fast and battery life is pretty awesome.

It may be stable but i found EMUI a bit buggy on some aspects, especially after changing the resolution.
Icon's having the wrong background position for the group icons, installed programs icons are not the full anymore, in landscape when you slide the menu down, there are no soft navigation buttons at the bottom ( making it impossible to exit the program ). EMUI also seems to hide some settings ( like the mtp usb setting that is normally under the Settings - Storage menu, nowhere to be found. It shows up in the notification bar *uch* ).
Battery life has less to with EMUI then, the fact that the X2 is running a 5000mAh battery with two cpu core sets ( little.big A53's ) who both are by default power saving ( and the screen is also not a big energy usage ).
The reason why CM may be interesting is the fact that its already a optimized version with not too much junk programs. I was surprised at how little ( relatively ) was left of the 32GB... My ZU with 16GB had 11GB usable, while the X2 with 32GB has only 23GB available. If the rom was the same size as the ZU's ( what already packs a bunch of junk ), it means there needed to be closer to 28GB available.

You can remove a lot of the system APK's if you're rooted. I've removed a ton and the phone doesn't lag. I'm running my LCD density at 280 and don't seem to have any problems. I don't think the battery life will improve with CM12. Usually the battery life is worse but you get slightly better performance with any CM based ROMS. I'm running Apex launcher and I deleted the EMUI Launcher completely and the phone runs great.
Can I use the Touchwiz Launcher which I am used to??

This is the source code for the kernel. Theoretically it might be enough if we have the device definition to compile in a CM like rom. Do we know any device close to our X2 HW specifications with CM support... ?

Hopefully we can find something soon. Man, if we could get BlissPop on the X2 I'd love this phone so much more that I'd buy two more. I run it on my Nexus 6. It's a fantastic ROM! I'd also love if the Chinese TWRP could be ported to English. I'm sure soon enough it will be.

It is, already. Just after installing Chinese TWRP, you should put English UI theme to this folder in your phone memory: "\TWRP\theme". And rename file to "ui.zip".
You can get files here: h t t p s : / / yadi . sk /d/5YI63uiAhz5UD/Recovery/TWRP (just delete spaces in the link).
Get "287X_v1_1200_dark.zip" for example. Rename it to "ui.zip" and put "ui.zip" to "\TWRP\theme". Profit!

A little bit of hope, anyway. From the CM blog:

Huawei
Thanks in part to device contributions from Huawei’s team directly, we are now supporting the Honor 4 & 4x (cherry), Ascend Mate 2 (mt2) and Snapto (g620_a2). These devices represent the first set of Huawei devices we’ve supported since CM 7(!) and it’s nice to see the company supporting the community ahead of the rumored Huawei Nexus. We’re expecting good things to come here.

I guess all these ROMs are loaded with Google's stuff?
With the exception of Play Store I'd like to be free of the Google fleet of useless apps.
It's great that you've been able to port these ROMs. I hope a lot of people use them. I just have different needs! Tx.

Yes, all of them. You can "freeze" or delete unwanted Google apps. Do it manually or try to find scripts which can do this automatically.
Hi, I was thinking to buy this tablet.
Can these ROMs fix the issue of too high brightness even at the lowest level?
If not can you recommend a free application to solve the problem?
Better this or teclast m89 pro? Thanks.

To solved this brightness issue I use the sFilter app or any other blue light filter app.
But to tell the truth, I wouldn't recommend to buy any Teclast tablet. I have a problem where he doesn't accept the installation of Instagram or Facebook app. I saw that many people have the same problem.
Anyone else with this problem or know how to solve?

I added solution, check it and let me know if it works for u
It's possible to change brightness limits manually by editing firmware files, If there's a big problem for u and other users I can change its' range sometime. Just let me know what firmware u are using.
Hello dev!
Are you still working on this device firmware? I bought it this month and not even on official site could find updates for, so I don't know if there is any firmware that I should update before using these that you made...
I'm using Pixel Experience and found it great. But I had problems with the initial setup, which always had trouble trying to recover the configuration of another device. When I checked to set up as a new device it work fine.
I could not open Magisk too, but i wanted to disable it and remove, but always shows error when trying. I'll try MIUI in sequence to see if I can.
Another question: The modified Stock has gapps included? (and can I remove root?)
Thank you so much for your work, I was happy to know that have other firmware for this tablet.
PS.: sorry for the "google translator english", my english is poor. lol

I used the modified rom too and liked a lot, but I couldn't install some apps through the playstore and had problems to remove root (Magisk). So I installed ASUS ROM and it is very stable and everything is working great. I'll leave it and see what happens!
Thanks!

Hello!
1) There is no more firmwares to port for our device. Also I don't know much about modding firmwares, so Pixel was my first successful experiment.
2) Latest official firmware for our device is TOS v2.1 which can be found in appropriative thread here. Seems no more updates will be released for our device.
3) Restoring function is bad idea esp on custom ROM. You should always make clean installation.
4) Custom ROMs can only boot with root access (e.g. Magisk). You cant uninstall it. In other case your device wont boot (Android 7.0 classical issue). P.S Magisk is not like "classic" root, so you can "hide" it for apps that don't work on rooted device.
5) Of course stock ROM includes Gapps. All made changes are listed in topic. Root can'f be removed on any custom ROM (see p.4).

Thank you!
I gave the tablet to my son, the Stock ROM that came on it is'nt good and so I put the ASUS ZenUI ROM. (After testing all others)
I hide Magisk and the ROM is working perfectly.
Thank you so much for the great work.
Happy 2020.
