Hi Guys,
I updated to OOS latest version few months back when Pie came. Though the phone is overall smooth and works fine. I have a few problems with regards to the performance of heavy apps such as games or editing in lightroom etc.
The apps that I use on daily basis are
1. Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Discord, Chrome, Spotify, Apple Music
2. PayPal, PayZapp, PayTM etc for payments
These are the most used apps on the phone other than Google suite apps such as Drive, Keep, Gmail, Maps, Playstore.
The major problem after upgrading to pie is whenever I play PUBG / Asphalt the phone lags like anything. It wasn't the case before OOS Pie update. There are a few other niggling issues aswell after this update.
Is there any ROM / Kernel combo that can work without much fuss with the above-mentioned apps?
Thank you.

To those with a Note 5 already, how's the RAM management.
Can't get one in Canada until the 21st, just wondering if the Note 5 is a smart buy.
Here's a video of the LG G4 smoking the Samsung Note 5 in memory management. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6QSffa9dys
The Note 5 opens the apps incredibly fast even with reloading though.
I've seen posts here and there that make it sound promising but the video above scares me a little.
Anyhow what are your experiences?
How many apps (and which) can you open and swap between without them reloading.
You already saw my posts but I will re-state here so others can see as well.
I do not have the issues that video illustrates. I can run Chrome, Fallout Shelter, Poweramp, Play Store, Trillian, Amazon App Store, 1Weather, Google Plus, Whisper, Gmail, Battery Widget Reborn, Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Z Launcher, the stock launcher, a number of settings windows, and plenty more, and not have any of them need to reload when switching between them (which is good, because Fallout Shelter is up to 500megs of RAM usage...). With all of that running, I still have 1.1gigs of free RAM (333megs in reality, as 800ish megs of that 1.1gigs is for cached processes). I don't yet have much else installed, but it seems pretty clear to me that this is not a universal issue, and even if it were, it can easily be resolved by an update from Sammy, or a custom rom/kernel down the line.

Yeah same here ... no problem at all ...
My note kills apps like crazy. Certain apps i know for sure as soon as i hit home the app gets killed. but if i jumped to another app through recents, then the app would at least stay alive for a while.
Hey guys anyone out there not using gapps with his custom rom ? I am on Lineage 15.01 official oreo build and i dont have google apps installed on my phone.
I use fdroid and yalp store and micro g services. Apps crashes sometimes and it can get painfull but mostly everything works.
One of the disadvantages is that youtube doesn't work you can only browse it through the web. Some other applications also.
For navigation i use offline maps. With games i had no problem.
Anyone tweaked micro g to make youtube play ?
Did you tried YouTube vanced ?
Try it installing from magisk manager app.
What about newpipe ? it is available on f-droid and have tons of features that official youtube app doesnt

Use Newpipe.
Thanks, i downloaded the app. Any ideas on e-mail clients, i used FairEmail for a while but it didn't work as expected. Browsing the web to open my gmail is a lot more trouble.

Outlook maybe?
i am not a big fan of Microsoft either. I am using outlook at work. I also use Microsoft Excel on my device..
But i can say that not using gapps is not a problem, the phone is cleaner and google is not on the background eating sources.
Duck duck go also is a great browser.

Very good and it plays on background ! :good:
I am based in the UK and officially own the Huawei Mate 40 Pro. I will say now it's a ridiculously good phone. I cannot fault it at all. Ask me anything you like in regards to it (design, Usage, etc) ... Happy to answer all questions
Great. I am thinking to upgrade P30 pro but very skeptical due to Google.
How u transfer full Whatsapp and how is realistic experience without Google (automatic photo upload, contact sync, G drive, Google duo etc)
Hello
Right, to transfer full WhatsApp you'll need to copy & paste your WhatsApp folder into the Huawei (internal storage) specifically you'll need the "Databases" folder but I would copy the whole WhatsApp folder over so you have your photos, voice notes, videos etc. It's a tiny bit annoying, however, it's the only way to successfully restore your whole WhatsApp history onto the Huawei ?
The experience without google, for me, is really good. Yeah I won't lie, it would be nice to have google services on the mate 40 pro but it's a compromise I'm willing to live in, just need to put in some work to have the dbejxe to my liking. Photo/video/music uploads you can use the MEGA app, simply download it using huaweis Petal search. Contact sync I simply sent all my contacts by bluetooth from my old device to the new hauwei. Or you can back them up on your p30 pro to your Huawei account and download them to your new Huawei. G drive isn't working at all because it's needs gms. I needed g drive for my WhatsApp backup but I had to use the above method I've mentioned google Duo just won't work for now but I use WhatsApp video calls as the best alternative. Gmail doesn't work. But instead of gmail I use Outlook which is a very good email platform. Youtube doesn't work but youtube vanced is the much better alternative (no adverts and had background play)
Thank you for your honest and solid reply.
I am extremely inclinded to this device but the region where I live (Middle East) the whatsapp calls are blocked and we have to rely on Google Duo (personal) & MS Teams for official calls (MS Teams not yet available on App Gallery).
How about launchers (I use Nova launcher)
Honestly speaking, i dont see any other phone which can challenge Mate40 Pro (nor Note 20, niether iPhone 12)
simillar to other apps , several local apps are also not available (Yes we can install via petal search or even other stores but i am not sure they might be dependednt on Google Services)

Why had the middle east blocked WhatsApp calls ? ? There are many alternatives, Skype, Viber, etc
Haven't tried nova launcher but will definitely get back to you on that
Currently the only apps which aren't working are Maps, gmail, g drive but I've found alternatives. Netflix works but not on full hd
Hello.
Did you manage to get chrome, poweramp music player, Uber, careem, Snapseed?
How about the games? I have invested in play store like extreme landings etc
Thank you for the answering

Chrome works flawless, PowerAmp also but the rest will probably don't work because it needs GMS. Games are a thing for itself some work without GMS and some don't
What bank apps not working? And what will i miss if i join huawei from iPhone?
You can record screen at 90fps ?
Can I check with you that the Silky water mode can be used with all 3 rear camera lenses with the Mate 40 Pro? Thanks

I have guidance in Maps, only on 10.49.3 version (of the latest versions).
Glad you have got 1! I'm deciding on whether too but no GMS is a pain, looking to get the deal from the Huawei Store but i few questions,
As your in the UK do you have any banking apps working?
If you use Spotify and YouTube Vanced can you cast to devices?
What keyboard do you use? I've been a long time gboard user but obviously this will be an issue.
Thanks!

to TS, do you find some games are able to use the GPU but some games just fall back to base resolution like 640x480?

Hi, I updated my mate 40 pro to emu 11 and now magazine unlock is not working anymore. Do you have the same problem?
Mate40 pro comes with EMUI 11 ... what update did you make ??
Does the new EMUI always on display show notification icons for third party apps e.g. Outlook, WhatsApp? Does the MicroG method for getting some third party apps notifications
still work?

@future3: I receive notifications from WhatsApp in AoD.
Hi There! Today my son updated his phone (redmi note 9) to the miui 12.0.9 version but after that when he plays with clash of clans or brawl stars (both supercell games) the game crashes. I tried to reinstall the games but after the reinstall the games works fine but the second time i try to start the game, it crashes. I tried to clean the cache and the saved data (via the general settings of the phone) and after this the game works fine again but exactly one time, the second time i start the game it doesn't work again....
Does someone has the same problem or any answer?
I solved it
[Update: Fixed with update] Google confirms an issue with WebView is crashing many Android apps
A recent update to Android WebView has caused many Android apps including Gmail, Amazon and more to crash. Google says it's working on a fix.
www.xda-developers.com
My phone was working fine until few months back, I started to notice headset not working properly, not sure if the problem was caused by system update or apps I've installed. Is there a way to troubleshoot the problem? I'm not that familiar with Android, working mostly with PC (Linux/Windows).
Here's what I've noticed:
1) Skype audio test stopped working (I can't hear through earphone).
2) Tried using Whatsapp, the same result
3) Installed Earphones Test+ 2.8 and Mic Test 5.2 (both apps installed from Google Play store and developer is Laureano) and both reported back that the mic and earphone are working fine.
ps: I haven't updated for some time the following services: Android Accessibility Suite, Android System Webview, Clock, from Google: Carrier Services, Gboard, Google, Google Calendar, Google Duo, Google Maps, Google Photos, Speech Services. I'd like to avoid installing unnecessary apps/services, and use as much as I can opensource apps.
