In the future it will be possible.

It would be quicker to post a sticky about the things we currently cannot do with the M8.

Thanks for the responses. I like the phone but hate all the extra crap they put on it. I want it to be stock so I can decide what to install.

Not in the near future... A lot needs to happen to make this possible

There is no timeline to be put on this. It will happen as soon as a way is found. the M7 was released end of August, and S-OFF wasn't achieved until right around October. It may be soon, it may take months. Its up to how well the community supports the dev's along with a bit of luck.

Does anyone know if there is a way to make just the soft keys appear like stock/nexus keys, softkeyz currently is not compatible but does gravity box or any app out there work for what I'm trying to do any help would be really appreciated.

Screen activates self in the trousers

Hi,
yesterday I was on racetrack Nürburgring and tried my new OnePlus One.
Everything was cool except one thing.
Most time, when I took the OPO out of my trousers, the screen was on and an app was open?
Is there a setting for that, that this never happens? Don't want to share battery lifetime to my pockets and don't want to place calls to the whole world.
Is anyone having same problems or could someone help me?

Settings/Interface/Gesture Shortcuts, disable everything.

You forgot display -> double tap to wake

It is scheduled to be fixed by OTA-update xnph28s; before unlocking the proximity sensor checks if the device is currently in a pocket.
See bugreport: https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/BACON-16

Good to see, d4fseeker.
Do you know, when this update is ready for download?
Don't want to disable the Oppo features on opo

They say the update should be released in the next week or two.

Typically when its ready, it was posted a week ago in 2 weeks time but no promises as they want to get it right in this OTA.
If you can't wait, you can flash custom ROMs as they already have this commit where it checks the proximity sensor. If the proximity sensor is blocked then gestures will be disabled until the proximity sensor is not blocked.

I don't use paranoid android but go into their thread and search for the keyword proximity. Chances are they probably did include it.

Like I said before, I don't use Paranoid Android. Go into the thread and search for the keyword "lockscreen" ... if the ROM is based on CM for the OPO then it will have the gesture controls.
Edit: Heres your answer, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53677403&highlight=gesture#post53677403 next time just search
Not only as stable as CM is, it includes all device specific features of CM like offscreen gestures, Quickboot, Soft/hard buttons...

You either need to upgrade the trousers or keep your hands where they belong - in someone else's trousers.

That is a FIX and not a full-fledged semi-effective workaround. Unacceptable, but thanks for trying.

This is CM inc's chance to show what they can do.
You know they have a One Plus as a test phone but they let it go out with low call volume and sub par signal strength. As well as touch screen problems and more. Just look at the bug reports. There no hiding them.
Software makes the phone work so to me that is what I have to look at.
All in all its a great phone I just expect more from CM inc.

To be fair the phone is still in its infancy stages and is invite only. So in a way you can say we paid for the phone to be "internal beta testers" and when the phone is not invite only thats when its out for the masses.
I agree with you though, these major problems should have been addressed in a hotfix rather than having users wait for the next OTA. Luckily for the most of us, we're able to fix it in our own hands but for those who aren't then they'll just have to wait.

OnePlus One + CM13 + VoLTE?

So i installed CM13 nightly on my OPO device in hope on getting some VoLTE support.
Ran the vanilla Cyanogen 12.1 before, i have the VoLTE flag enabled in the hidden menu: *#-#4634#*#* but i think something is wrong with the function as i cant turn it off. And i had it enabled in cm 12.1 and now also 13 but still i am not able to get any VoLTE functionality, so i guess i am trying to turn the key and engine rotates but there is no fuel in tank.
I have a VoLTE enabled simcard just for this test, so its not related to Carrier not enabled volte on the sim.
I have seen in other threads from other Android versions that they ref to and config xml file, " system/customize/ACC/default.xml" and i don't have that folder structure nor file.
Any one have any idea how to proceed?

I am looking forward to support of VoLTE too. The SPEC of snapdragon 801 shows that it supports VoLTE, but it seems that we need 1+'s official update, I kept urging them on Chinese official forum, but get no response by now.
Is there any chance that some cool developer can help us?

it won't be working out of the box.
Oneplus plans on implementing the feature over a patch in a near future which is not really near

Let's all bug one plus on Twitter FB etc to implement. This feature is required specially in India when reliance Jio is launched.

There are so many developers can't they do anything?
Or without company itself no one can implement this software update, i am not asking anyone but just saying that is it impossible without oneplus ?
Or cyanogen mod development can do this ?
Now it's really needed in india so many peoples are waiting for volte support.... Sorry if i said anything wrong...

Question before buying Mate 8

i really want to buy mate 8 and i love it but i'm afraid from one thing i'm a user that root his phone and use xposed and flash roms
my question is rooting and xposed will work on this phone without problems?
and i think for mate 8 there is no number of custom roms
it is nornal that the phone is new but my question is like after 2 years when the phone stop to recieve update it will be a custom rom for it ? like Cyanogen?

Root yes ,xposed not working, stock ROM is very good with Google now launcher
I don't believe that CM is making ROMs for Mate 8
Sent from my HUAWEI NXT-L29 using Tapatalk

Root works, xposed works, no cm ROM in sight but delete a bunch of bloat apps, replace them with Google apps instead, and use layers manager along with theme app for a very close to aosp ROM feel

Have to say, was very anxious to find out how Emui would be in practice. If it would be bloated, ugly, overkill, etc.
But now, after using the device for a few days, can honestly say that I wouldn't want it to be any other way! The amount of things you can change, set or extract techy data from is enormous. Don't want stock Android anymore. Don't want CM13. This is it. Emui rulez! :good:
It's fast, smooth, does it all. No regrets. Can't / won't downgrade to stock/ AOSP / CM

Mine doesn't even get warm. There are no dots on the screen either. Having a large battery makes it charge a little slower but mine charges fast if I use the original ac adapter and cable.

hi. i read about camera app taking forever to launch. any similar experience? does using another camera app solve the problem?. also how good is the loadspeaker? im coming from s5>nexus6>note edge and they all have pretty loud sound

Hello everybody, I was wondering if someone could tell me the best mate8 model to buy I will be using it in the usa. I'm using the mate2 now and it is a solid mid-ranger. I have unlocked the bootloader and have cm13 running on it now. I would appreciate your suggestions on the mate8 models and why you pick it. Thanks..

I'm interested in buying a Mate 8 and I was wondering if you can shoot RAW pictures using the Mate 8?
I know that it has a "Pro Mode" option but I can't find any videos online showing a full indept review of that feature, so could anyone explain/elaborate on that?
Many thanks in advance!

Most Raw-capable camera apps you can download from the Play Store won't work as well due to crap implementation on Huawei's side:
Shame, really.

If you wish to buy a Huawei phone and need RAW image files, you have to wait for the release of P9 (April 16th) or P9 Plus (May 20th) that both offer this functionality.

Thank you guys for the reply.
That's really sad to hear then. My LG G4 recently died on me with the infamous boot loop problem and I can't get it fixed anytime soon. I might wait for reviews of the new P9 but I do like the Mate 8 as well though. I'd just have to sacrifice RAW function then =/

It's not only a matter of RAW vs non-RAW... P9/P9 Plus dual camera has been yet tested by some reviewers and defined a significant step forward compared to Mate 8 (but still worse than Samsung S7).

You are right, there's more to it than just RAW, but having RAW function is usually beneficial as you can process the picture later and not rely solely on the phone's image processor. Although if the phone's image processor is good to begin with then you shouldn't need RAW.
My G4 had RAW and I quite liked it, managed to get some good shots during my holiday before it died on me(luckily it died after my vacation was over, lol).

Not very good, no. Yes, lots of options but don't buy this phone for the camera. Much, much better alternatives (like your G4).

If there's one thing I can say about this phone, it's easily that it has the best cell reception of any recent device bar none. Seriously, I'm a good 10+dBm stronger than my prior devices: Pixel XL, Axon 7, and more..

For sure. The only thing really bugging me right now is Huawei's lockscreen. I don't have lock screen controls for any of my music apps and actionable notifications are super finicky. I'd be super happy with it if those things were addressed.

Could you let me know the full build number of the firmware on the phone?
From settings -> about phone
For example, maybe it's MHA-L29CXXXBXXX
I was on vacation in America a week ago with a T-Mobile SIM, with the Mate 9 branded to Asia C636 and Europe C432, but neither did VoLTE, so I guess it's a unique feature of the American firmware.
If you're interested in helping to bring the American model's firmware to other people and helping out the community, please get in touch with me by PM, as there are many tests I want to run with your model.

That's a relief. If they've acknowledged it then it's on their radar. I just noticed Pandora's controls showed up but disappeared so I guess it's a bug.
