Good people,
This is a bit unusual for me, that the p6 forum will be so quite. There was time where I'll be so confused as to which rom to try and was changing them like my under wear .
Lately it's so quite it makes me wonder . I just so hope that we aren't left in the dark and that someone out the is developing smoothing good underground :fingers-crossed:

It's very simple, our phone is getting old, and Huawei did a good job to make it slow,buggy and made developing very hard.
Huawei showed us, that they didn't care much about their customers, they waited very long to release sourcecodes, didn't improve the kernel usw. They only cared about there Ui, which is, in my opinion, the crappiest thing ever done.
We had 2 developers, who made real roms from source, but to do this they needed to use old binaries from huawei, which made it impossible to make "real" custom roms, which cpuld be officially. I don't want to say that these Roms were bad. They were really good for the sources we had. But Bugs'n Errors could mostly only be fixed with dirty hacks and workarounds .
Now our Phone has ended its livespan it's almost 2 Years old.
The dev's weren't really able to go on in development, because there was no way to get LP working on our device and every sourcecode like Carbon,CM etc upgraded their rom to Lollipop. So there will be no fixed, no updates for a KK-based rom.
I have not really looked at the new sources and can't say that we can not build LP with those, but to make a rom, like our last Custom Roms were done. I mean with using precompiled binaries, like the other Roms did, there is no way to build LP without an official LP-Rom from Huawei ... and I don't belive that this will come .. I mean ... Huawei doesn't care about this phone anymore .. it has the P7/p6s and even never ones.
Ps.: Also I want to say that our phone is really bad build, .. i have my 2nd screen in my p6, the first had a subpixelerror .. so I send it in, it took Huawei 8 weeks to repair the screen ... now a year later, I have exactly the same error in exactly the same position ... It looks Like I'll be buying a new phone in near future ... the google ara looks great

Thank you for the detailed reply and I guess you're correct by saying it is time to upgrade . Which device do you prefer, as there's plenty of good android devices out there?

I'm waiting for "project ara" from google, but I quess many other phones are very good on the market ... eg. google nexus 6 or 5, also samsung devices have a very good community with many devs and roms, but I don't like their build-quality and also their price-policy, ... there are many things I hate about samsung
I agree with everything said above! The P6 was a great idea, at the time it was the highest spec phone for the price (in the uk). In the months after i bought my P6 however, new high spec - low price phones were brought out (nexus 5, oneplus one) that were just better than the p6. I don't mind EMUI, but I can see how some would dislike it. I dislike the lack of support that Huawei gives, and I will definitely not be buying a Huawei phone again.
Don't know about you guys, but I'm waiting for the OnePlus 2! Hopefully they will keep the price down

Mmh Project Ara is nice but I'm still hoping for vsenn.com they din't really showed anything until now but they promise very good stuff
I'm going maybe for Sailfish OS, I like the idea of the OS and the mentality of the company (Sooo much communtity listening).
Sadly I come less and less often here, only to find... nothing new. The Ascend P6 is a great phone... and HAD potential, which was not used. I am also looking forward to the end of my contract (November) and choosing something else. Most likely it won't be Huawei again.
Because my Phone broke after i dropped it and because I thought the develeopment was dying i switched to xperia z2.

Wait for the P8

Agreed
It really has gone quiet. Perhaps we can ask XDA to add some tumbleweed animations to the P6 page.
I tend to agree with the first post, the P6 was ok but never quite good enough. I have multiple devices and the P6 has now been relegated to bottom of the list

Hello my fellow guys, just want to let you know that I've got myself the beast Sony Xperia Z2 and am so delighted. Now just patiently waiting for the Lollipop update.
I really liked the P6 actually. Great specs, amazing design and really really cheap. I kind of liked EMUI too. Its sad to see its development die out and I do wish Huawei people were more involved.
I will be sticking to my P6 at least until google ARA comes out.

I went with Samsung on many occasions but recently I switched to Sony and I have to say I am very happy. I bought the Z1 Compact, high quality hardware and software and timely updates. I also bought the massive Z Ultra because the price recently dropped to bargain level.
The hardware manufacturers underestimate the value in keeping the phone updated in good time.
In my opinion, a user with a phone with regular quality updates is likely to stay with that brand.

im giving up on this optimus lte, im selling it, or trading for a galaxy nexus,
the dev community seems slow, and not any CUSTOM roms, just de-bloated stock roms, there isnt even a real promise of ICS, just a TBD... and i just feel i like the nexus overall better then this anyways, to much hassle over rom flashing and potential corrupting of the filesystem which cause's softbricks and me alot of headaches....
the nexus just seems so much more custom rom friendly
Thanks for letting us all know. I'll alert high command of the situation.
was a smarta$$ reply really needed... typical tho, shoulda been expected from a newbie to the forum...
You were mistaken in thinking anyone here cares. What does making this thread accomplish? Are you trying to make other people give up too? I just don't see the point in posting this. You're just going to get negative replies from Nitro HD fans. And it's not like you've contributed anything, either.
why the need for bashing eh ?
does it make you feel better??
the point was to just state that this particular device was no longer of interest to me, and for some that have maybe read my issues with device and the fact that there is not many that are dev'ing for the device, that maybe some would reconsider getting one, not everyone needs 100% POSITIVE loyal fan love bs, some would love to hear and see the truth about issues and such as they wouldnt want to be stuck with something that would cause them problems in the future,
and for another " youve not contributed anything either " comment... for your personal information, im learning android coding, apps, and os information right now, ive been to college for video game design and development and web design... and its people like you that make me not want to contribute anything.. negative remarks, rude comments, and overall bashing of a person is not helpful, nice, or deserved...
so maybe in the future... YOU should think first before typing and learn that everyone starts somewhere... and stuff like this, makes me not want to contribute,...
anyways, point in case, im trading my lg-p930 tonight with my friend for his galaxy nexus, im sure ill be happier with it as ill be able to code for it and learn to dev alot easier with an official google branded device...
if you dont like this thread... DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR... DONT POST IN IT
BTW, I've been around in this forum for a while now, since early days of htc's and win mobile rom cooking, ive made some of my very own personal winmo roms for my htc diamond and previous oldies,

really.. explain how that was being a hypocrite??
the poster above my previous post stated that basically i should not post cuz i have not contributed, so to speak..
all i stated was that i was unhappy with it, and that i prefered to move onto something else, and to let others with the same possible ideas as me to see that maybe this is not the device for them... that is all...

Now why does my post count matter? I have been looking at this forum for years and just made my account to help contribute with the development for the Nitro/Optimus LTE because it is my first smartphone. This is my last post in this thread as it should probably be deleted by a mod anyway. Have fun with your Nexus, nobody will miss you.

I'll wait for HTC X One and Samsung Skyrocket HD to come out then select one. I don't think I'll stick with Nitro even if ICS released tomorrow...I need my compass and Skullcandy earphones!
thanks [email protected] for some understanding...
if it wasnt for the fact the LG has put me thru so much BS, i might be happy with its hardware, but is just not as friendly as a HTC or Samsung....
htc's and samsung's i know i can recover from super easy, not have a bunch of hassle and be able to come and go quick and simple from any type of custom rom i want...
i still havent figured out if this device has a fastboot mode or anything other then recovery and download mode... ive wanted to find out how to mess with ics... but it refuses to let it boot, and where as the nexus or even my old atrix for that matter have ics, my friends gs2 has ics, and our device has been " promised " ics... but ive heard tell of lg not holding up there end of the bargain on some devices..
might also help if LG was a lil more DEV friendly with their devices as well...
HTC even gives the chance to unlock your bootloader just for that purpose
now i know that the lg p930 does have an unlocked boot loader, but the filesystem seems to not be user friendly to CWM
which makes it difficult for some work to get done if you happen to make mistakes in code or whatever

You've definitely proven that you have the attention span of a 12 year old. We all know about one developers' attempt to make ICS available, yet is unable to do so as he is nearly the only developer that works with LG devices. In other words we won't get an ICS ROM any time soon, as he is putting focus into other LG devices. Now if you also notice, he is working on a ROM for the AT&T Nitro HD, not the Bell Optimus LTE. Where does that leave us Bell users? Dumping the phone up on for-sale websites in attempt to recoup what we lost after LG screwed us with the release of the 4X. Yes, that's right, LG released their quad core phone with ICS on it... hmm...
Now you may love the IPS LCD that this phone offers. That's all fine and dandy, but when you have a $500 device in your hands, you'd expect to have some manufacturer and developer support behind it. One developer and a lack of initiative from LG to release the update has pissed off quite a few of us. We're already into March (Q2) and ICS has not been released as LG stated. As tn stated, LG devices and LG themselves are not friendly to the developer community.

I have a Bell Optimus LTE using kernelpanics rom and I have had no issues to speak of. So I'm confident that the CM9 release for the nitro (whenever it ends up releasing) will work on my phone.
I must say that LG's marketing is 2 blame in this poor situation. It's been 1M pieces sold in 2 month BUT it could be 3M to 5M if they have it in shops in india, china, europe and c.i.s.
P880 4X HD is gonna be available only in summer, way too long to wait. LG is digging hole for themselves, they give up market share to samsung Nexus and Note and HTC, & Xperia S
Nitro is a perfect piece of android, way better then Nexuses & other amoled s*1t and poor LG makes nothing to spread its popularity
i agree whole heartedly, the lg p930 is amazing hardware, with crap all for proper dev support and lg's track record does not help them in this matter at all...
well... this phone is as stable as an iphone !
coming from a galaxy kingdom " S S2 note" i can honestly say i always used to flash custom ROMs for a couple of hours but at the end of the day when i go to sleep i have the original one again for stability most of all
at least for the first time in so long i don't waste hours on flashing and restoring data and finding bugs and so on ..... till it end up restoring my backed up original rom and settings !
sure custom roms have their ups and downs but..... the phone is stable guys !
it doesn't have the crappy touchwiz or the need of lagfix ... etc
deploating fixed the lag and the battery..... what else do i want ?! since its not sense UI from HTC nor MIUI or even a worthy and heavy tweaking then i really cant see the need for Devs or to flash our phones !
but thats just me... someone enjoying one of the best screen there is on the rarest high end phone with a quality specs
BTW: anyone else tried playing MKV on this phone and galaxy note ?
trust me u will be surprised
is your lg gets really HOT when using gps and car charging?
or playing game and car charging? the freaking phone get really hot and it would STOP charging! you know you will run out of battery cus the freaking phone stop charging when it' HOT!
so this lg is not reliable! i switched back to my old phone samsung skyrocket! no, my skyrocket never get hot like this.

First off, how does me saying, basically, "stop *****ing and be patient," make me have any sort of lack of an attention span? We're all frustrated about this phone but most people who frequent here have seen enough *****ing. It's our own damn faults for buying this phone anyway. However, the phone goes a long way when you wipe the internal storage and let the battery break in. It's pretty snappy with GO Launcher and I get a full day of use now. The only problem is the lack of devs, but we've heard this a million times now. Just 21 more months to go... hopefully we'll get ICS by then.

Hey all,
Before everybody tells me to go code it myself : I am not a coder. I'm an enthousiast which apreciates good tech and good roms.
Appart Gohma which isn't really alive since his dev goes through personal stuff, there isn't a tru custom rom on the Moto 360 (and it seems too be android-wear wide).
I know a cable has to be made. But it isn't a moonflight...
So my question / discussion topic proposition is : Why? Is there nothing to tweak ? Is it just that Wear needs to mature a bit ?
I remember in the (not so) old days, (HTC Desire) when roms offered new ways of using the phone, new perspectives or designs.
Now Android got so good, you can tweak and add stuff, but you don't really change it anymore. Why isn't it the same with wear ?
Hope to see an intelligent discussion arrise
Have a nice day.
I just got this watch yesterday paid 99$ for it couldn't ask for better price, but seriously why do you need custom roms for it? it's just a watch. It is not supposed to replace your smartphone but make your life litte easier at times
that's how I see it.

Wow, that's a steal.
It just nice too have something more unique, better performance, better battery, less bugs...
An integrated app drawer things like that...
Not a whole new thing, just perfecting things and adding what Google forgot.
Shouldn't we be happy it works... I mean this by no means supposed to be a hackable item it's an accessory at best. Flash your phone and Google is bring more features to the device which ten years ago a product being updated like this would have been updated once if that.... via usb.... so wait for the 5.1 update

On android, most developers don't write all the mods you see, they pull them from popular repos like Omni, AOSPA, and Slim, which most of those derive originally from CM.
Android wear has no popular custom rom base created yet. So no one can just Kang stuff and release, all mods made for wear are written by the developer.
It works, but not always as good as could be i.e , while on the charge the backlights gets on random times or stuff like that...
A rather good point about original content, but even just fixing what is existing (like gohma) is partially non-existing.
I just hope that when Motorola spots updating the watch some people might get on board to maintain this piece of art.
I know this sounds dumb, as I could try to do it myself, but I just am not good at this.
It would have been alot easier if the Moto 360 just had a normal micro usb or any other connection other than making one yourself. If someone could mass produce the cable I think the user base that would want a custom ROM/kernel would increase by ALOT.
Hi, HAM devs!
You propably don't know me yet, as i am new to the HAM. I already built CM7, 10 and 11 on LG devices though, so i am not totally new to android development/building.
Well.. i just got this Ascend Mate, and thought it would be nice to have a custom rom on it, like i had on other devices.
But all i can find is closed source flashables. Seems like joe.stone is the only one who shared atleast something.
Don't you guys think we could achieve more, if we work together?
I really want to work on custom stuff for our HAM, but it would be easier if i don't have to start from scratch, while a bunch of people COULD share their experiences with me.
So please contact me, if you can provide some useful informations on how to build for the HAM. - Let's do something!

Dont hold your breath mate, in my opinion This is one of the worst forums on xda !
Well, maybe i just start instead of flaming.
Here we go: https://github.com/hwmt1-u06
If anybody is interested in participating to this, just let me know.
I think the main reason for that is that most of the stuff here was developed in Russia or China and those of us here just basically searched online and found ROMs and posted links here.
Joe Stone was the main Dev here and he's moved on. Gold Concert did some good work here too and moved on. Outside of these guys I think the rest of people in the group are like me. We know a little about developing but we're not Devs so as a result the forum has pretty much died.
I would welcome your developing skills here right now:beer:

well, let's see what i can do... so far i can boot, but sound and reboots arent working well (maybe more).
currently trying to contact mrAlmid, and looking into his roms for a hint to the right direction.
Just a thought. Since huawei mate and huawei p6 are essentially same hardware (same motherboard, same cpu/gpu) with main difference in display, maybe some of the sources for p6 will come in handy?

Once a Finnish developer tried porting sailfish to the P6, he (or someone he forked from) had managed to collect almost all the sources for the P6. You can try tinkering around, if you have time, you could figure out how to build the needed libraries for the graphics stack from source (all the other devs jumped the boat already), if you succeed then we may have a chance of compiling a working Lollipop rom. For the mate, dont forget to change the touchscreen drivers as it differs on the P6 and the Mate. Heres the repo: https://github.com/locusf/cm11-p6

For the mate, dont forget to change the touchscreen drivers as it differs on the P6 and the Mate. Heres the repo: https://github.com/locusf/cm11-p6

a working lollipop rom? i dont feel like beeing THAT professional, to be honest. but i will check if i can use something for more stability on kk. thanks for the information, though! maybe i can find something to fix "reboot to recovery"-freeze
I got my current rom (carbon rom 4.4.4) from this website:
http://mateone4you.blogspot.nl/2015/04/carbon-rom-444-for-huawei-ascend-mate.html
He has a few more too.
Edit: I guess you know, reading your CM thread, but some may not....
Would welcome some more development, especially bluetooth connecting to audio is horrible...
I tried his other roms too, only got carbon working nicely.

yeah, that's Alex Midnight (mrAlmid), i used some huawei binaries off his roms already.
i will see what i can do about bluetooth a2dp, dont have to much hope though, that a2dp stuff was a hell on LG's p990 already.
Hello guys,
I am looking for a 300-500$ tablet with good specs and a note-taking pen.
I was considering this tablet,
do you guys recommend it ?
Any other better alternatives out now or coming soon?
Please share your thoughts, thanks

I wouldn't buy it again. Hardware is quite okay but the SW is very buggy. Next thing is that the tablet is not attractive for developers. So you basically have to stay with the standard stock rom.

I would say it always depends on what he's looking for. I'm pretty much happy with it as - just my 2 cent - I really like EMUI. Further more the premium version - in connection with the lecture notes app - is really great for handwritten notes and a lot of digital notebooks.
Writing my blog articles I love the multi window mode of it pretty much as well.
No need for custom ROMs at my end, as I'm petty happy with the basics I need it for.

Great tablet, it will be shame for Huawei not to publish the Android 6 ROM. Its my first tablet and i like it.
The only thing is, i don't know why, its not supported by developers. I don't like the EMUI Launcher, so the next day I've opened it for the first time, i have replaced it with Google Launcher accessible from Google Play.
I am not playing games on the tablet, bought it for maps, books and surfing. Extra feature is the stylus, which is actually more practical as i thought.
So at the end - if Huawei will offer 6.0, it was a good buy.
I have the mania: do not upgrade, developers spend it. I bought it because the computer magazine today he was given a third quality disappointment. Aluminum design, but the inside EMUI, awful. I want rotearla or throw it away.
It's a very good tablet, but till now without android 6 and I think we can forget to receive nougat.... (it's a shame for a suche good tablet)
LET US HOPE
My two cents. The hardware is pretty good but I'm not a fan of EMUI. And I'm very disapointed that it is still running Lollipop. Rumour is that we will get Marshmallow but there is no hard evidence of this as yet. And as Huawei has only just released kernel source code, there have been no custom ROMs so far. Hopefully we will get one soon.

Don't. At least until there is no update to Android6 ... which there probably won't ever be.
[edit] Didn't look at note taking pen, disregard recomendation below.
I'd look at Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2016. It seems to be in the same HW bracket, comes with Android6.
I'm not directing this at the great developers here, but I'm more confused or wondering what's up ? This phone is Google's flagship stock Nexus device, THE developer phone. The Pixel 2 was released two months ago, and there's not one custom ROM yet. I find that shocking and asking what happened ?
I've owned most Nexus phones in the past, and by two months in there'd be a ton of ROM's available.
Again I'm not trying to be an ass asking this question I'm not looking for ETA I'm more very confused or am I missing something why development doesn't seem to be happening like in past Nexus phones?
Or is there another forum outside of XDA these ROM's are on that I'm not aware of ???
A few roms are coming to this phone. It's just slower because of the dual partition stuff. Think DU and Pure Nexus are planned.
You must also remember the pricetag on this device, not everyone is going to jump on this device right away, but like the above comment said, there are ROMs in the works.
A lot of devs weren't building because we didn't have a stable TWRP.
Looks like one just dropped
All of what's already been said here.. plus.. this phone is so darn stable and amazing bone stock that it's unbelievable. I have had every single Nexus/pixel and HTC device since I don't know when and there was always some reason why you badly needed root and a custom rom.... But with this... It's so good I haven't even unlocked the bootloader yet! Kudos to Google for sure!
OnePlus has screwed it up for everyone when it comes to custom ROMs, the phone is half the price of top flagships and just as good so thats where most of your development is
Agreed that OnePlus has sucked away a lot of developers, if not the majority of them. OnePlus 5 / 5t is almost half the price of the Pixel 2 XL, plus it seems even easier to developer for. I mean go in the OnePlus 5t forum and look at the development, phone hasn't been out one month yet, and it has a bunch of ROM's and Kernels.
But I prefer the direct from Google updates and long term support by Google, plus the extra features on the Pixel 2 over the OPO, and am happy with my purchase, but I am concerned that there is not even one single ROM released for the Pixel 2 after two months.
