Hardware Support

No issues comparing stock Huawei ROM

Known issues

On Oreo vendor:

  • Q roms do not boot. (Tested with 8.0.0.386)
  • Oreo rom (8.1) did not boot for Snuupy.
  • P roms work great and I think it could be used as daily drivers.

On Pie vendor:

  • Q/R/S roms boot. Could be used as daily drivers.
  • Speakers: Audio playback through speaker not working properly. Audio works through the 3.5mm jack. (Tested with both 9.1.0.252 and 9.0.1.185)

Fixed on AOSP 12.0 v400.e

See Fixes Below

  • Touchscreen: Left and Right edge of the screen might not respond to touch due to Huawei aptouch service.

See Fixes Below

  • Camera:

Ugly LineageOS stock camera app, OpenCamera is good but with slow autofocus.

There is a way to run stock camera app (XDA) under LineageOS.

  • SIM

LineageOS asking to reboot when pulling in/out the SIM card. Just reject this requests.

USSD (like *100#) requests are not working

USSD seems to be working fine on EMUI 9.0 vendor (Tested on P10, test for yourself)

  • WiFi, Mobile Data

Working perfectly

Mobile Data on Android 12 requires tuning on Phh Treble Settings > IMS features > Request IMS network

  • Fingerprint Reader

Working perfectly (Broken on Android 12 v400.e)

  • Face unlock

are now available on Pixel Experience v402

  • Fast charging

Working perfectly

Installation process

Prerequisites:

  • Stock EMUI 8.0/EMUI 9.0 by Huawei (tested from VKY-L29C10B362/VKY-AL00C00 8.0.0.358/VTR-L29C185E3R1P9T8)
  • Unlocked bootloader

Installation steps:

  • Backup all your internal-storage stuff
  • Perform factory reset using stock Recovery
  • Install GSI image using fastboot as described on XDA

Superuser (root) and/or Google Apps, if you wish:

  • Install TWRP using fastboot from here (XDA)
  • Reboot to TWRP pressing VolumeUp till it's loaded
  • Leave system non-modified when TWRP ask for it
  • In TWRP: install LineageOS addonsu from LineageOS Extras for arm64 v15.1
  • In TWRP: install from MindTheGapps the file MindTheGapps-8.1.0-arm64-20180320_011441.zip

TWRP: important note

DO NOT factory reset user data using TWRP, ever! This will break your internal storage! If you need to perform factory reset - flash stock Recovery using fastboot and wipe data in it.

If you will wipe data in TWRP, the LineageOS will not be able to write to userdata (/data) partition, initial device setup will not finish ever.

Google Apps (GApps)

Why MindTheGapps??? Because OpenGApps is not working. When installing using TWRP it's rising error 20 detecting that we have wrong Android (it minds that we have Android 7.1.2 with wrong SDK level).

Note: OpenGapps for Android 9.0 (Pie) is now working for Pie GSIs.

Fixes

Fix for Speakers

Audio through speakers can be fixed by running these commands as root for every boot:

chown root:audio /dev/nxp_smartpa_dev
chmod 0660 /dev/nxp_smartpa_dev

Or running commands using adb shell:

adb root
adb shell chown root:audio /dev/nxp_smartpa_dev
adb shell chmod 0660 /dev/nxp_smartpa_dev

Note: This issue has been fixed since AOSP 12.0 v400.e

Touchscreen Issue

The touchscreen might be irresponsive on the left/right edge of the screen. Simple workaround is to stop aptouch service as root:

stop aptouch

Or using adb shell:

adb root
adb shell stop aptouch
