HUAWEI announcement Android 8.0 - Huawei P10 Questions & Answers

Will the P10 and P10 Plus get the latest Android 8.0 update? Huawei just published an update which I saw on Google cards stating that the FF devices will receive Android 8.0:
Mate 8
P9 and P9 Plus
Nova 2
Nova 2i
Nova Youth.
I am pretty disappointed by this as the Mate 9 received its update already, while the high-end P10 doesn't have any news for it.

Huawei P10 is currently in beta testing for oreo so I think it is not necessary to include in the list

YES...on beta testing.. All is ok.

My P9 (EVA-L09) is still on 6.0 didn't got 7.0 yet.... is it possible to update straight to 8.0 !!!!

Mhhh, Android versions do not add substantial features lately. Oreo added Treble, but it's optional. Other changes are hidden to the user and not really relevant, often go against users convenience or will.
EMUI on the other hand did progress a bit more. Version 5 is usable (still did not try 8), although several much needed features are still missing. IE, selectable amount of columns/rows in launcher (this, among other tweaks are provided with kangvip in P10), but it's hard to understand corporations decisions...
Summarizing, MM is fine, you are not missing much.
The really good news about Oreo is that kernel sources are not broken now (as they were when Nougat sources were published), so kernel development could make a difference now. We 'only' need an active kernel dev now

Mate s emui 5.0

Hi guys
Anyone know if mate S supported from Huawei to get emotion UI 5.0
Hi, I am very unsure they will give us emui 5, but I still have hope because this device is still available for purchase.

Well. Since the honor saga from Huawei, received even up to 3 Android updates (honor 6 came with 4.4, now it has 6.0) I think is perfectly possible to get EMUI 5 with nougat.
The question is when? Well, of course after the release of mate 9,they'll update the Mate 8 probably, at the same time, the honor 8,one that has available a beta program to try emui 5. So, After those devices, the turn will come to honor 7 and probably, our Mate S.
i dont think that mate s will get nougat.
due to feature requisition.
Vulkan API (a must for android7) needs OpenGL 4.x and OpenGL ES 3.1. the chipset of mate s is not compatible.
i hope for emui 5 without nougat
But that doesn't make sense at all since the Nexus 6P also lacks of 4.X(it uses 3.1) and it's running nougat.
Hope same happens here>~<
Good news people:laugh:
:good:
nice news......but did you check the release date?....Vulkan issue poped-up in early September and I would expect this article has been issued earlier, as the 2 years update guarantee has been communicated earlier this year.
unfortunately!!

In my view these are all speculations. We all knew from the beginning that mate 8 and P9 will take nougat. What was was not known was the date. I am not claiming that mate S will take nougat, but that announcement does not mean that it won't.
My main concern is that it has been a long time since the last update for mate S. Not even a security update. On the contrary, P8 gets updates. Also, Huawei has not released any new model for the S series. These are the bad signals for me that we probably won't take Nougat, not the announcements that mate 8 and P9 will get Nougat. But let's wait for a official announcement for huawei because it would be striking for huawei to give nougat only in two models.

Huawei Mate S 6.0 update with EMUI 5.0
So they are beta testing this device for 2017 N update with EMUI 5.0 .
There is a hope. I bought this device like month ago.
What do you mean? @mustafaevery1?
Dear Customer,
Thank you or contacting the Huawei Customer Care Team.
Regarding your query, unfortunately the Mate S has not been announced to receive the update to Nougat and EMUI 5.0 at the moment, but after the Beta tests will be over and the update will be sent to the scheduled devices, if the customer feedback is positive and the device features will support the update after future tests, we will send the update to the Mate S too and other devices.
If you have any further questions please feel free to contact us.

Huawei announces Nougat update plans

Huawei has announced Nougat update plans for its smartphones. The Android 7 update for Huawei devices will arrive in the form of version 5.0 of the Chinese company's EMUI skin. The roll-out will begin sometime in Q1, 2017, with the Huawei Mate 8 and P9 getting the update first, followed by the P9 Plus, P9 lite, nova, and nova Plus.
The new EMUI 5.0, Huawei claims, is more efficient, secure, and user friendly. It "significantly cuts down on the number of steps needed to achieve the desired function," the company says in a press release, adding that "furthermore, the user can reach 90% of the core functions in just two to three clicks."
The new UI also lets users choose between the standard layout and an app drawer. "Additionally, users can jump between their professional and personal lives effortlessly with profiles now being able to run in parallel – no switching of phones necessary."
Coming back to the update, those rocking a Huawei P9, P9 Plus, P9 Lite or Mate 8 will be able to participate in the beta testing as well.

How stable is the beta? I'd love trying Nougat, but not if it ducks everything up. (That wasn't a typo, I'm just hilarious.)

I think TWRP only needs an unlocked bootloader and adb - not root, since you can unroot a rooted device and keep your custom recovery

Huawei P8 lite (2017)

Huawei has announced the P8 Lite (2017) smartphone, featuring a 5.2-inch FHD display, the Kirin 655 chipset, 3 GB of RAM, and a 12 MP camera.

Android 7.0 with EMUI 5 ? with glass back like honor 8
Wow. That's amazing. Why this?
I dont know to be honest, but it will cost around 250€ in Europe. If I am right it has same motherboard as P8 lite 2015. Lets hope 7.0 will come to us soon
It has 655 so android 7 cannot be ported from it to us 650 chipset
I think this is the end of Android 7 dream for our P8 lite, and after release, probably end of all updates for old P8 lite version.
So what Huawei are basically saying is , if you want Android 7 you"ll have to buy a NEW phone. Hope our device gets LineageOS soon.
If p8 won't get it because the processor won't support it, why do you keep feeding the idea that we'll get Nougat someday? Only through Custom Roms, won't ever happen officially.
I don't think our phone could handle Nougat well... Plus it usesa different board; ours has Kirin 620 and this new one have Kirin 655

Our phone of course can handle Nougat very well.........Samsung galaxy S3 can run it smooth and our phone is superior to it ....
is funny that my moto G 4g from 2013 has custom roms with android 7.1.1 and it is smooth as ****, a lot faster than my Honor 4X (Kirin 620) with emui 4.0 lol, the only thing that my Huawei is better is on games, the rest the moto g is a lot better
anyways i'm not blaming the devs, i blame huawei for sharing a ****ty source code so, to build custom roms it is hard as hell
I think it was pretty obvious that we will not get EMUI 5 (or android 7.0 generally) officially. It really seems like huawei goes out plain and says : "You want Nougat? Buy yourselves an improved version of the phone and expect no further updates whatsoever". Also, the P8 Lite can handle Nougat like many other less powerful phones out there like the Moto G. We are counting on devs for 7.0 rom (like LineageOS) but with the source code that Huawei has provided is seems really hard.

I have also read some sources claiming that. I cannot find a link right now as there has been more than a month since i've read that. The sources claimed that the P8 Lite along with the P8 will get EMUI 4.1 with some ported-back features from EMUI 5. There is already EMUI 4.1 from vodafone so , if this is true, i am curious to see what are the ported-back features. I am starting to doubt this after seeing the release of the P8 Lite (2017) though....
Emui 4.1 will be the last EMUI Big Update for us. Huawei says "You wanna have EMUI 5? get the P8 Lite 2017"
Hello,
does anyone have any information on the P8 lite 2017 regarding root?
Will there be a seperate subforum here XDA?
Thanks

MediaPad M3 joins the EMUI5/Nougat roadmap

I am happy
http://playfuldroid.com/huawei-p9-p9-plus-emui-5-0-upgrade-spring-festival/
The tech giant had earlier released a time table that shows the schedule for upgrades to the latest UI for its old smartphones. ... Most of the models like the G9 Plus, Huawei Nova, Honor 6X, Honor Note 8 and M3 tablet would start getting their full upgrades between March and latest May 2017.

So will this just be for Chinese versions or will the rest of us get it?

"Normally" nowadays this should mean countries outside China will receive an update sometime in the future, most likely not in May but later.
After thinking I actually did upgrade from EMUI 4 and Android Marshmallow to EMUI 5 and Nougat 7 is my Huawei M3 the same? In the week of Feb 6-10 2017 my Huawei Mediapad M3 ( BTV-W09) had a notification to upgrade via a download it provided from it's stock EMUI 4.1 and Android 6 to EMUI 5 and Android Nougat 7, which I did download and install. After doing so it says it is still EMUI 4.1, Build Number BTV-W09C128B003, Android 6, with Android Dec 2016 security patch? No noticeable difference at all other than security level.
Did it just update the security level? I thought I read that this upgrade was going to be available for this model in around May of this year 2017? Android security patch level is still Dec 2016 (6) as of right now.
Thanks,

That was a Dud.

Update Android 8.0 (Oreo)

Hello,
Just one basic question, you know if Huawei P9 get Android 8.0 update ?
Thanks.
Nope. P8 doesn't get 7.0, so P9 will not get 8.0.
Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk
The politic of Huawei for update can be changed for this year, no ?
But basic support is normally for two-year and p9 have just one year now and 1,5 years on first release Android O.
Sorry if my English is bad, I just learn by 3 months.

What is that for an **** answer? The P8 dont get Android 7, cause the CPU and GPU dont support the new required Vulkan Graphics etc. In Android 8 are no new technical requirements. So the Chance is very high to get Android Oreo
At least, Huawei had released the kernel sources so we can build oreo for ourselves!
By the time we get Android 8.0 the Huawei P12 is released...
Not holding my breath.... But if they screw me on it , regardless how well they worked so far I'm not buying another... So far I only bought flagships....
This is why everyone should blast them on Facebook/Twitter/Email with "Update P9 to Oreo!" so they don't left us without update!
I found video about Huawei phones which will get Oreo update, P9 included.
Hoax warning, I didn't find any source where the user got the information. No mentions in video's description nor in blog.

Fixed that for you.
OP, the answer is - never.
I still don't even have Nougat for my EVA-L29C636 and it doesn't look to likely so I think i can forget about Oreo
I think it will get Android O.

The P9 will get android 8.0. It has been confirmed on a number of sites like gadgetraid.com. It is a relatively new phone so it makes sense for it to recieve it.
I don't believe right now that we will get the 8.0.
P9 still in 7.0 and there are phones already on 7.1.2
P9 on Nougat? Nope. Not all p9's have received the update yet...
Not even all P9 cust/regions received updates to 7.0.
Goggle has released 7.1 a year ago, bit there is still no EMUI build with 7.1, only 7.0.
IMO, P9 will never receive 8.0, I'm not even sure if we would ever receive stock 7.1
It is quite common for OEM's to skip incremental builds like 7.1 - what they do is work the security patches etc into our 7.0 builds - so this is in no way an indicator of whether or not we will see 8.0.
At the moment several websites including some very reliable ones have published a large list of Huawei devices that are apparently getting 8.0 and the P9 is on that list, as are equally as old devices like the Honor 6X.
Today I read about this, (it has a link to the beta app that some of us used in the past) and the article states that the beta project has started, It's just a matter of few of us to find out If this is true (by Installing the app and checking avail projects) and which regions are eligible to the beta project (again IF this is all true).

Thanks for the link---just tried to install the Beta app on my P9 (eva-L29C636B191) but the install failed. This could (and probably is) be due to the fact that I am not on Nougat, however. Nougat just will not work on my device. I can install B361 but Nougat will not allow me to scroll anywhere on my device.
