Is there any chance for Huawei P8 lite to get a Custom, Nougat-based ROM? I am pretty sure that Huawei will not release an official ROM, but could we expect something from our developers?

I am not so confident. The phone is very old for N, I think ... To be honest, I was hoping for a custom ROM from our developers. Either way I will be happy!!

Google forced manufacturers make updates that's why this phone received marshmallow. Now when they release updates so often I see no reason for them to stop. And there are some sources that claim we will receive nougat in second quarter of 2017

That's good news. I had read on an article that Huawei would support their phones only for 2 years. that's why I worried about this!
If huawei doesn't relase official source code for Nougat. We won't see any custom roms based on it because devs don't have files to build roms. Hopefully we will have Nougat. And maybe some devs would take it as a project.
The P8 was the flagship for huawei.
It has a 930 Kirin chip & 3GB ram - it can definitely handle nougat.
It was only released April last year (13 Months old). Keep in mind it's in the line of flagships, and had pretty much made Huawei recognisable as a competitor.
Huawei must appreciate the phone as it is £300, its not exactly dropped in price dramatically.

Marshmallow is at the 23rd API Level, Nougat is at the 24th. IIRC some proprietary libraries are tied to the API level so there's not much We can do without Huawei's support.
Well don't get your hopes down official N is released ?

I am not interested in porting it to AOSP 7, however its true that I have downloaded Nougat's source.
Come on, you can't seriously compare the source of Xperias and Hisilicon devices. It's like day and night.
Thanks for trying anyway.

Good question, but I am afraid that the answer would be no. They have Hisilicon both but p9 lite has kirin 650 and p8 lite 620. Which means that without Huawei releasing some kind of the source code for the chipset no job could be done.

Can we expect cm13 for honor 5c
It's hard to determine, nothing available yet (kernel source, device tree, bootloader unlock).
as honor and xda are now tied up we can expect it soon.
morover being kirin it would be a hard time for them
anyways i think yhe source code is aldredy availabe at huawei site.

I don't see a 5C kernel source there, is it named differently?!
No,you are all wrong!

The kernel source is available,but named differently. The Huawei p9 Lite and Honor 5C share the chipset and kernel source. I noticed that there were defconfigs of "nemo" next to my "venus" ones. And only recently did I discover that the codename for the 5C is "Nemo".
Even the previous generation of the Huawei P line uses the CM device and vendor tree of a Honor 4C or something,because they are identical inside.

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"

Nope. P8 doesn't get 7.0, so P9 will not get 8.0.

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.

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.
