Hi everyone,
I am very sad to find out that my stock ROM distribution does not have the permissions manager, startup manager, virus scanner included. Do you guys have any idea how to get those apps, preferably by installing them, not by flashing with another rom?
Thanks a lot!
I've got the international honor and would like to know this as well!
Some of those apps are hidden and you can unhide them for example the permission manager. The sad thing is, you can activate the permission manger but it wont work
could someone using the l01 emui 3 update on l04 tell me if these apps work? i might just try updating then
I have installed the L04 on my L12 and the permission manager did not work. I unhide it and activated it but no functionality
I'm interested to know too, expecially to enable the encryption option.

HELPFUL HINTS
YOU MUST HAVE EITHER DONE THE OTA OR DLOAD TO B201, B209 OR B211 BEFORE FLASHING ANY VERSIONS HIGHER THAN B112 OF THIS ROM. YOU ALSO NEED TO BE ON THE NEWEST TWRP FOR EMUI 4.0 BEFORE YOU FLASH ANY B201 OR HIGHER CUSTOM ROM. IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE THIS PLEASE DO SO. IF YOU DON'T AND ENCOUNTER ANY WEIRD BUGS I CANNOT HELP YOU.
To remove the Chinese writing on the statusbar and lockscreen go into settings-->K-settings-->Lockscreen and desktop settings and turn off Lunar calendar & Desktop weather lunar, then go back and into Notification settings and turn off Show statusbar lunar
You may have to open SuperSU and allow KangVIP Tools if K-settings doesn't open
Set the DPI to 325 or higher or else Chrome tabs won't work and YouTube will force close when going into subscriptions
To stop background apps from closing after 1-2 minutes freeze or delete HwPowerGenieEngine from system/app.

Is there some non chinese website that gives us at least a brief description of whats in this rom?
Yes, you get double tap to wake and a ton of more features that I'll add to the OP.
ajsmsg78 said:
No, not really. You get double tap to wake, automatic call recording, the camera flash flashes when you get a phone call (you can turn that on or off) status bar mods (remove clock, center clock etc..) there are a bunch of things. I had it installed on my original X2 which I sold and it was awesome. I'm waiting for my unlock code for my new X2 so I can flash this. Then I'll list all of the features in the OP.

Why do you have to be on stock b108 to flash this? It's Kangvip custom rom.

You can try it if you're unlocked and have TWRP installed. I'm not sure that it works with the 701L. I don't have a 701L to test it. It probably won't boot on your 701L.

The best way is to flash back to stock B015 in Fastboot then take the OTA to B106 then download B107 and manually flash it. Then download B108 and manually flash that. Then install TWRP again and flash B108SP01 KangVIP.
Updated the OP with a link to KangVIP-B106.
Thanks to the DC-unlocker posts, I finally was able to unlock the bootloader on my new 32GB x2 (yes, I'll be selling my 16GB model now). After installing TWRP, I flashed this ROM, since I didn't want to deal with all the incremental upgrades. Unfortunately, I can't get the Double Tap to wake to work. I downloaded the apk file, and it installed just fine. However, when I open it, I get a pop-up in Chinese that only gives me one option to click. When I click it, the app closes immediately. I've tried reinstalling it, but I get the same result. I tried restoring the stock B106 image I had saved using TWRP, but the Double Tap doesn't work on it either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the file, but unfortunately, it didn't work. I still click "OK", and then the program closes goes back to my home screen. When I press the recent apps button (or whatever it's called), I see that the program is still running. If I go back into it and click "OK" again, the same thing happens. I think I may flash b106, then flash b106sp1. My previous X2 didn't work with Double Tap until I upgraded to b106sp1, so maybe this one will have the same result.

Just flash regular B106 then KangVIP B106, I know double tap to wake works on KangVIP B106 because that's what I'm running.

I have to say, this phone can be incredibly frustrating. My 16GB version had an issue when I installed TWRP that caused it would boot straight into TWRP until I flashed the stock recovery, at which point I could boot into the system. If I need TWRP, I'd flash it, use it, and then flash the stock recovery to get back into the system.
Moving on, with my new 32GB model, I was able to use TWRP with no issues, but Double Tap wouldn't work in KangVIP B108. So I flashed back to stock B106, then flashed B106SP1, which was the way I got Double Tap to work on my 16gb model. After flashing B106SP1, Double Tap started working. However, now I can't get TWRP flashed correctly. I've tried using fastboot on both my Mac and a Windows VM on my Mac. Every time, it says it flashed correctly, but when I attempt to access recovery, I get the stock recovery. This happens whether I use "adb reboot recovery" or if I shut down and reboot while holding the Volume Up button.
Here's a copy from Terminal on my Mac:
****MacBook: platform-tools ****$ ./fastboot flash recovery/Users/****/Downloads/X2_TWRP_CN_5.1.1_kangvip/RECOVERY_HW.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'recovery' (32336 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.689s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.802s]
finished. total time: 1.492s
I'm almost at my wit's end with these phones. I'm currently using a Nexus 5 as my "stable" phone, but I'd love to get back to the X2. This is easily one of my favorite smartphones I've ever had, and the battery life is amazing. However, I'm getting close to getting rid of the 32GB model and just waiting to see what comes out in the not-to-distant future from some other manufacturers.
Sorry for the rant.
The recovery_hw.img, is that what you're trying to flash to get TWRP? That's the stock Huawei recovery. You need to flash this:
https://docviewer.yandex.com/?url=ya-disk-public%3A%2F%2FvI5Y3Obeku4qzIrtHfPviJPL3yhTpSABBi9V4fM0UpU%3D%3A%2FRecovery%2FTWRP%2FX2_TWRP_CN_5.1.1_kangvip.rar&name=X2_TWRP_CN_5.1.1_kangvip.rar&c=56172ee53f9c
That's the newest TWRP.
My advice would be to flash to stock B106. Then flash KangVIP B106. Then install the double tap to wake app and it will work. Enable it and you're good to go. It works on B106.
Like you, I also own a Nexus. (Nexus 6) It's fun playing with Marshmallow but I like the X2 more than any other phone I've ever used. It took me a while to get everything figured out but it's awesome now.

Reading is fundamental, I suppose. After your question (as I assume was your intent), it occurred to me to go back and check to see if there were any additional .img files in the folder. Flashed the twrp_cn.img file, and amazingly (sigh) everything worked. It definitely helps when you flash the right file! I guess that's what happens when you try flashing too late at night/too early in the morning. Thanks again!

HELPFUL TIPS
-To help prevent apps from not showing notifications move them from data/app to system/app and set the proper permissions. (rwxr-xr-x for folders and rw-r--r-- for apk's)
-To remove any Chinese writing on the date in the statusbar go to Settings-K-Settings-Notification Settings and disable status bar lunar
-To remove any Chinese writing on the lockscreen go to Settings-K-Settings-Lockscreen and desktop settings and disable Lunar calendar & Desktop weather lunar.
-To add additional Google accounts go to Settings-->Advanced Settings-->Backup & Reset-->Make sure Back up my data is on. Then tap Backup Account and hit add account.
-When using the DPI changer in K-Settings do not use the stock Huawei App Layout option to change DPI. They don't play nicely together.
Yes still 5.1.1!

What is wrong with xposed? What doesn't work? If you can't get the framework to activate, go into xposed settings and check the box that says Disabled Resource Hooks, then restart.
Allready tried it.
Everytime I want to download a module it chrashes and android shows me that xposed service hast stopped.
Had the same problem with play store, everytime i wanted to start it and enter my account it says that google play service hast stopped.
Now i use the KangVIP from the Chinese forum and xposed is working.
when you solve the problems with google play ill try it.

Thanks for sharing this.
I am currently running "[5.1.1] Simply Google **02/13/2016**" can I flash this directly? or do I have to pre-upgrade to B201?

You have to update to B201 first.
Ok thanks for the info, so basically I install "Full Stock B201 GEM-702L Huawei ROM" and then flash one of the "B201 International Rooted*" Images
I hate to ask such a noob question. What is odexing? Why would I prefer it over de-odexed or vice versa? Thank you.

It's the 702L Beta firmware but doesn't seem to have any bugs or issues from what i've seen. If you have a 703L already on B209 or B211 you can just flash this rom. If you have a stock 702L on Android 5.1.1 then you have to dload the stock rom to update to B201 then flash this rom.
Ok i have a GEM 703L and my Firmware is B209,i test this Rom.
Thanks Man
Hi Aj
Can I ask you a very simple (prob stupid) question?
You said: "They should work on any model of X2 provided you're already on B201 or higher".
Unfortunately I'm at B003 (ancient version). How do I get to B201 to then move to Marshmallow?

Hi.. I've recently got the mediapad x2 701L.
I used to be pretty good on mod and stuff with my nokia n900 and similar but since android I stopped.
I'm pretty happy with this device but im stuck with android 5.0 b003.
I would like to move to marshmellow ans if I understood correcly I need first to upgrade to 5.1 isn't it?
Can I do it with the 701version instead than 702/703? If I can where dp I find the full guide?
Thanks a lot for your help
i think you must wait to Rollout MM for 701L
I have 703L and test to flash this Rom from 5.1.1,but theX2 not boot.
This Rom works only with MM installed
Hi, thanks for sharing this. I tried it but personally prefer the tweaks from K-VIP. Now that I went back to the K-Vip 209 slim ROM my info is displayed correctly but the actual storage in the file explorer says I have 2.3 GB free. Is there a cust I have to flash to correct this?
I had installed the deodexed.
Thanks!

I included all the cust folders in this so i'm not sure why your phone would display incorrect information,

Yeah, it's weird. Maybe going back to Kang up from this causes some sort of overwrite or something. I even flashed the cust for 209 after re installing kangvip from your other post and still shows the same. I will re do the whole update process again tomorrow hoping to solve this.
The are the screen shots of what I described above. Weird...

You may have to flash the stock rom through fastboot (boot, cache, system, recovery, cust, userdata) then go into Settings-->Advanced Settings-->Backup & Reset and do a Factory Data reset. It happens to me all the time when I dload, I always have to remember to do that or it sees my internal storage as wrong like yours.
As I know, we need to download 谷歌安装器 (Google Installer) first then follow the steps. But everything seems a bit different now when we come to MIUI 9.5 (Android 8). I got "can't install system applications from unofficial channels" error on the first tap on Google Installer, and there is no "Unknown Sources" option in privacy setting anymore, instead it's "Install unknow apps" section with a list of installed apps . I turn it on for 谷歌安装器 (Google Installer) but still got that error. Am I missing something ?
Hello, why don't use EU rom ?Xiaomi offical just posted them.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi.../files/xiaomi.eu/MIUI-WEEKLY-RELEASES/8.4.12/
Do I need to root first ?
you would need to root your device first to use the EU rom, waiting for a global rom would be the key .. not sure how long though
Few days ago the Global rom has been released along with TWRP to flash this rom. Here are the links
TWRP

MIUI Global Multi language

Thats fine but Xaomi change the unlock time and i shall wait 13 days
I have now playstor installed but cant access my contacts, there is no sync entry for contacts in google settings. Any idea?
This is not the official global rom. It's a custom rom by xiaomi.eu based on the chinese rom. Xiaomi.eu belongs in no way to xiaomi! However it's very popular and you can installit as soon as your bootloader is unlocked, many people prefer it over normal global rom(which will be released on 26. april
@tasar, just install google contacts you will get the contacts synced.
Will I still be able to use the "find my device" feature if I install the Xiaomi.eu rom ?
The google find my device feature works on every rom as far as I know. Or are you talking about a miui specific feature?
