Huawei S7 discussion archive

[xaueious]

We (myself and another moderator) have personal confirmation with Huawei on the status of Android 2.2. Therefore, I believe the update is still going to happen.

The issue at hand is that they have not made any public announcements regarding this.

Please continue discussion in the other thread:

so I used z4root to try to root this s7 but it has seemed to do nothing or maybe I'm doing something wrong. I'm trying to install apps to the sd card. what am I doing wrong?

install Terminal Emulator, open it, and see what happens if you type su. If your cursor pointer changes from > to #, then you have rooted properly. It is a little bit finicky on the S7, and if you look you will see a couple of threads on this topic, so I am not going to go much more in depth.

Good luck!

Hi I tried to use the One click with built in Z4Root but it does not work (At least for me) it wants to download the app, fails then says it is successful but the device is not rooted.

Does anyone have access to the Z4Root APK? I would love to have it posted or sent to me. Thanks.

[APP] z4root - xda-developers

I am rooted with Z4Root and have superuser working. I have rooted devices before and have always had the Update.zip on the sdcard. Yet, I don't notice this on the S7

Any insight will be appreciated...

Is install to SD card even possible with Android < 2.2?

 

[xaueious]

Needs some mods before you can do that sort of thing...

The Hauwei is close but not quite ready for APP2SD

 

[duceirae]

oh I thought rooting would fix that

May be app2sd isn't ready for the S7?

I have not been on my tablet yet, I have it, but one more week. Anyway forgive me if this will not work (I have a Droid X that is on 2.2 already) but if we are rooted and installed Titanium Backup, could we not use the script that is included in this to move apps to the SD card?

I have not done this personally, actually the other way since they put 8 gig of memory on the X and it is locked down so you have over 6 gig for just apps.

I see tht they have a new linux kernel published on the Hauwei site 2.6.29-s7 emotion. My S7 shows 2.6.29-S7. I know I am new at this but, do I need to get this new kernel? I have a firmware version 2.1-update1 the build is S7100R001C28B010 I purchased it from best buy. I really like this thing and would not trade it for the world. AT&T sim card and got voice right out of the box.

Thanks,

No this is the same with what you allready have and kernel is released for developers not as upgrade for devices.
