OTA update to EVA-L09C440B138

Two days ago I got an OTA update to EVA-L09C440B138.

The change log was dire, stating only that it was Google security updates. However, the update was 455MB which seemed way too heavy for a security patch.

I have been playing around with it, and so far I have noticed the following changes;

• Finally updated the camera UI so the top icons are not so difficult to hit. They now produce a nice drop-down menu and can be hit every time.


• Also added to these top buttons in the centre, is an icon to jump directly to change between Standard, Vivid, or Smooth colour palette.


• Not 100%, but I think they have adjusted the Pro camera settings layout to moved metering mode on the left in front of ISO.


• Gallery edit confirm and save buttons also now much easier to hit.


• About 12 new themes added to the theme store.


• Stock default theme adjusted so that only Huawei apps have matching icons. Third party icons now as app developer intended.


• Please confirm – Added feature to SMS app to add double-tap message to cancel sending. I might not have noticed this from the previous version though.

Things missing I was hoping for;

• Still no way to tell the mobile data traffic management what day of the month your tariff renews on, making it nigh-on useless.


• Would love to have been able to show/hide the Clock, Bluetooth, NFC, Alarm from notification bar. It’s all I rooted my last phone to do.

All in all though, still not enough grievance to make me unlock and root. They have squashed the one major annoyance from day-to-day use with those camera and gallery buttons being tricky to register. Apologies if this is already in custom ROMs. This was aimed at people running stock wondering what the next updates would bring. Let me know what I’ve missed.
