To better consolidate the existing development for the Huawei Honor Note 8, I'm creating this thread to keep track of the available ROMs for this device.
As of right now, the only ROMs currently available are meant for the Chinese EDI-AL10 variant of the Note 8 and are listed in the Huawei forums (and subsequently in Chinese), so I've mirrored them on Google Drive for those who are interested.

The best and easiest solution would be to find the Google Play Store app in the HiApp store and just to install it from there,
but if you also can't find it in the HiApp store (I didn't), it may be that the Google Framework and supporting apps aren't installed.
Don't try manually sideloading anything or flashing any GAPPS ZIPs as nothing I could find ever worked without breaking Huawei's system apps
(things like using your navbar home button...).
I found this Chinese Google Installer meant for MIUI ROMs without Google preinstalled, and it worked perfectly for the BO22 system.
First you need to uninstall every Google component if anything is installed (I used Titanium Backup Pro),
then run the Google Installer app and let it install everything (EMUI may flag most of the installers as unverified, install anyway).
After that, reboot your device and the Google Play Store should work like a charm.​

Thanks for the ROMs..Do comment which of the ROMs you have personally used, if any.

I'm currently using KangVIP, it works extremely well and offers an awesome variety of tweaks and settings to customize the EMUI interface. I'd test the other two as well, but I need my phone to stay usable at the moment as I'm a bit busy with work and classes...

Are Chinese and Huawei apps gone in these roms? Thanks for the thread. I love my Note 8 and maybe more with a custom rom

@benmeroff Very helpful thread. Might wanna add to the OP roms are for EDI-AL10 Chinese model of HHN8. If international version gets released - this EDI-AL10 roms collection will likely cause bootloops and soft brisks, if flashed to another version.

As these ROMs are actually Chinese-based (you can change to your language immediately in setup though), they all still contain at least most of the original Chinese and Huawei apps, and I have posted a guide on installing GAPPS for this phone as these ROMs do not include them.

Well thats not a problem. i have many Chinese and Huawei apps unistalled/frozen with Titanium backup. Also Phone manager app is ****, when that app is on i get no notifications.

How do you install these???twrp wont install it

When you say TWRP won't install it, do you get a specific error message, or does TWRP not even see the ZIP file?
I did get an error message while installing KangVIP, but it still successfully finished the install and I was able to fully boot afterwards.

This is what I get

My bad, double post. Can't delete for some reason

Weird... I'd try redownloading the ROM ZIP, almost seems like the updater script is corrupted or something. Also, are you dirty flashing it or clean flashing it? I clean flashed it and had no issues, so if it still refuses to install I might try wiping first if you hadn't yet.

I'd definitely do a TWRP backup first so you don't leave yourself with nothing to boot into, then try flashing KangVIP again.

Have you found the stock rom download?
---------- Post added at 11:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 AM ----------
Rather odd.. did a factory reset in TWRP. Boots up & noticed my fingerprints are still stored in the phone. I wiped everything I could in TWRP but the storage & SD card. Did it twice with the same results & then a 3rd time with the KangVIP rom. They're still in there. What's up with that?

Anyone set the CPU/GPU in K Settings to Performance mode with KangVIP ROM and notice a less laggy experience?
I'm going to try it out for a few days. Normally Chrome is quite laggy and 3D game performance is poor compared to Snapdragon 820/Ardeno 530. I'm hoping it's just optimization issues and not limitations of the Kirin 955 chipset.

Back to the origin!

Hallo,
First of all thanks to benmeroff and the community for this job!
As a newbe, I messed up my new Huawei Honor Note 8, in an attempt to change the Chinese language to Italian or English, including the installation of these ROMs.
Again, as an ignorant on the matter, I thought that just unrooting the device and using an application, or a different ROM, would have solved my problem.
Doing these attempts I messed up everything, making several functions becoming unavailable, and I was very close to brick my Phone.
After two days spent to find a solution, and I found it in the same Chinese site where the ROMs are, they have the Original stock ROM for this device.
I don't know if I have the privileges to post the link here, but, If you want to have a look search the site with a post dated 2016-10-25 09:48:27 from "Pokemon".
I solved all of my troubles and I was able to return the device to its original condition, where OTA update is also available (after installation the device started the EMUI update on its own!).
Hope this helps all of you!

To all having signal problems

Mee too Have this major problem

I too used to have signal problems with this ROM. The network signal used to drop off within 2 minutes of rebooting the phone. I erased everything, flashed 4.4.4 NC2 stock tar using odin, installed safestrap again and then installed this rom. After installing this rom (and any mods you need), flash N900A_OC1_ALL_Other_Stock_Partitions.tar.md5 using odin from the custom rom section "Note 4 port 5.0.1 - DarkLord rom v2.2 N910F BOB4 by Samsungviet for N900A" (not allowed to post links since my no. of posts<10) and then boot into this rom, avoiding now the possibility of a modem conflict with NC2. It turns out that when you upgrade to this rom from NC2, for some reason, the baseband remains NC2 whereas everything else is upgraded to OC1 and so I think this was the reason for the network drops.
[Q] ~~~ Would anyone mind breaking it down in simple terms what I must do coming from rooted nc2 to get this rom installed... I have oc1 kernel... I have nc2 flasher... I just don't understand the concept I guess. Thanks in advance
New report everything still works great, but the LED light just keeps randomly blinking, anyone else having this problem?

Flash the nc2 flasher then without restarting it go straight to safestrap. Boot to recovery, clean 3 times everything but your exdrive, flash rom than kernal, reboot. Set your apn to att settings.
That's what I did, the only thing crazy is the LED flashing randomly.
Awsome rom! But is there any fixes for the camera (crashes while holding the focus) and NFC (not switched by togle) except the flash on / off in Safestrap?
First let say Thank you. I finally have a room that I can use the GPS with.
Now my problem is that I can not connect to my gear s the blue tooth connects and the a get the gear manager connecting to gear but it never connects..
Please help

The blinking led is in and out of data. I think wifi.
My new problem(s) my wifi keeps going on and off.
5 random reboots throughout the day.
Is download booster not working? I've been downloading and streaming and I don't see it being utilized.

The LED thing is in the OP i missed that, so you can turn it off if you want. I have never had a problem with random reboots, so i am not sure what the problem is, every phone is different i guess. The download booster i am not sure about either, sorry!
Oh and the wifi I do not have a problem with so again i am not sure..lol, I know i'm so helpfull!!

I have the same rebooting issues after this flashing great rom.
My fix is to use Odin 3.10 to install N900A_OC1_ALL_Other_Stock_Partitions.tar.md5 at AP slot. Not sure if this is the case applying to others.
Here are my steps to refresh this wonderful rom.
I hope this can help.
1. Odin back to 4.4.2 . Then root with towelroot apk and install supersu and busy box.
2. install safestrap to wipe all data except sd card.
3. In safestrap, install DomPop_URv2.2.3_ATT_TEKHD.zip and SM-N900A_N900AUCUEOC1_KERNEL_Recovery-Flashable.zip
4. Odin N900A_OC1_ALL_Other_Stock_Partitions.tar.md5 at AP slot
booting issue
DomPop URv2.2.3 Note 3 n900a
i noticed after a couple failed boots that if i reboot in airplane mode and wait till it is loaded it is fine after returning out of airplane mode. then everything works great. The phone reboots about 5 seconds after launcher starts if i don't. Anyone having a similar issue? I originally noticed that the crash would happen after the location icon appeared in the status bar,

U. powersaving mode
When I'm in ultra power saving mode my alarm clock don't work. Is there a fix for that? Other than that problem I greatly like the rom. Thank you so much
I'm absolutely loving this Rom so far. Great work. I've not seen Lollipop look this good!
So, many people mentioned the constant resetting. I too experienced that. Only after flash. It would load up, be fine a minute, then freeze and reset.
After a while, I dunno, half an hour? It stopped resetting and I've not had a problem since.
Had a problem with not connecting to the network for a while too... but once I got the APN sorted out and turned off the reporting thing in About, it worked fine.
So, question.
Anyone have a fairly comprehensive list of what is safe to freeze/remove out of this Rom as far as stock apps and such?

I agree, this ROM is very very nice. I had to manually enter APN, even though I had the box unchecked, but once I did that, everything else has been good, and battery has been nothing short of phenomenal. I usually get home from work with about 35% battery running Alliance, with this, I'm usually at 50 or more.
I have the same question about what to freeze/remove. I've blown away the flipboard stuff, Health, the gear stuff, everything seems to be OK. There's a whole slew of "samsync sync" stuff that seems like it oughta be able to go, every so often I freeze something, and see if I notice any problems. But I do the same 15 things with my phone every day, so I may not notice anything really bizarre, or some odd interaction.
Anyway, my compliments to the developer, this has extended the life of my phone significantly.

Fix for Netflix comes from TEKHD's thread in Tmo Note 4! One could try the build prop edit or go to System/Vendor/Lib. The file is called liboemcrypto.so, can be renamed to liboemcryto.so.bak or delete the file either way. One could do both options, so here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...tekxodus-n4-urv1-4-14-15-note4-t3082085/page5.
If you don't feel comfortable about doing system edits look here on XDA for Netflix v3.3.3. This was newest but older version I could get to work before I found the the correct fix in the above thread.
renamed liboemcryto.so and now Netflix is working fine !

It's not about whether the ROM developers are Chinese or not but rather the device tree author / builder / porter.

Hm ok, never thought any of those had chinese "influence" or however you describe it. Not that it matters for me though but just another one of those unnecessary facts. You learn something every day as they say :good:
Sorry for the slight semi offtopic-ness
@grengo Thanks for bring this roms here , which rom you prefer ?
Anyone tried any ROM?
I tried resurrection rom. it's good.
Hi
How is the resurrection ROM mobile signal,GPS, finger print??? Did you feel it's better than Cynogen??
I'm not feeling any different, GPS not tested.
rom more customization..
I will keep two days after that I'll try carbon rom
Now with a twrp image of zui, I gave it a whirl and my impressions are its quite nice, camera app is good, overall speed and responsiveness is awesome and better than COS. It needs some adjustments here n there but im gonna try and make a tweaked rom out of it without chinese apps and integrate google apps. Had problem with capacitive buttons being disabled and it was only the fingerprint button that worked with swiping, touch and push. Would like to know how to enable those. Wifi wasnt working either for me but I guess you need to flash the whole zui factory image first with qpst for it to work unless someone else has an idea?
I gave lewa OS a try aswell after this but wasnt anything for me, that was just cm12 + a skin ontop basicly so naturally wifi worked since I was originally coming from C.OS
@tndb Wifi is working for me i don't know why it is not working for U...
for on screen button you can edit build.prop file by adding some lines (Google it)
For play store on ZUI download below Play store apk, then open Youtube app it will ask for Google play services download these services..

Hey and thanks for your notes. I still cant get wifi working, tried reflashing but nothing, have you just flashed zui through twrp coming from Cyanogen without flashing zui through qpst first?
Regarding the capacitive buttons, they wont work either. Tried adding qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to build.prop and also ro.mot.buttonlight.timeout=0 to see if the leds would turn on but they are not working at all. Its only the middle button working.
Ive made a tweaked rom out of the zui twrp package you posted where ive removed a bunch of china apps, changed default language to english and country to US, replaced default launcher with nova launcher, integrated google play, ive also replaced the built-in recovery with breadcrust twrp.
If I could just find out why WIFI aint turning on, the toggle is deactivated and when I press it, its not moving at all. If I restore my twrp Cyanogen OS backup then wifi works just fine again but not at all on Zui. Ive seen this on other phone models when they didnt have the correct modem for example but not sure where id get a suitable one for that (if this even is the problem) and manage to activate the capacitive buttons would also be of great help
Ok had some time over this night and found a solution to get wifi working in zui. Downloaded qpst and flashed zui the official way removing all data on phone and getting all stock factory stuff in there.
Perhaps its the modem file which is the problem? Not sure how to just flash that one separately to find the cause of this issue but could be worth a try
Hi, is the fingerprint sensor working nicely with these roms?

Huawei P8 [ROM][6.0] Emui 4.0 B356 Xposed HRT Kangvip

Have discovered what. A custom ROM for the Huawei P8. Very stable, fast, many ... very many settings possible via K-settings, Root, Xposed and Viper4Android. Restart Menu (Normal Boot, Hot Reboot, Recovery Mode, Bootloader Mode)
No themes available for download for location .... China Rom. Own can be activated but.
Download: http://www.file-upload.net/download-11509701/P8_EMUI4.0_B356_Kangvip.zip.html 950MB
Almost excellent...
But, problem with contacts and Google accounts..
The two seem to be linked.
So you cant sync your google contacts?
Try flash gapps for marshmallow, however you forgot to write that media apps are in chinese and you can not change it, dialer app has chinese features and symbols in it which is annoying too
Damn, this looks good. If we could get google services working and fully English this would be perfect.
Where'd you find it by the way? There may be more hidden treasures around

Does fromFuture offer something special? Except deodexing
Just to give u guys some wee insight as been on both roms lately but currently stuck with fromFuture. That KangRom is awesomness and you can customize plenty of things. This being very close to BlissRoms or many others AOSP base. Chinese aps you can easily uninstall. Chinese text eg. in the dialer you can deactivate in local build.prop by changing the CN country to EN. There's a snazzy working tutorial on Mate 8 forums called Chinese text gone with Yellow Pages. The Rom is sweet. But without google contact sync it is bad and it makes no reason to me to be using it However I didn't try any MM Gapps package though. It's got busybox built in as well as init.d support plus xposed that works with HW themes. If you are gonna flash over the 321a update you will lose Huawei Swype keyboard and get the chinese version, playstore gone. U need to pull up all the aps and place them to microsd and then push them where needed upon having this kangmod installed. Another thing is that you need to reflash SuperUser as this rom comes with KingRoot.
The fromFuture Rom is deodexed, busybox built in, SuperUser built in and is light and fast with more ram available and if you do a full wipe in twrp and flash this it will eat around 1giga and something from internal sd. But it is still an entire stock rom with no additional features. But it doesn't require those tweaks I was talking about re. the KangRom.
Huawei dont let us decompile system apks so its very diffcult to build a custom rom.
It seems kingvip have very good contacts to huawei because he is the only person in the
world who can decompile huawei system files.
Right now im rebuild the kangvip rom to a european rom with googles services and NFC.
My last build booting fine and NFC is working.

Their lollipop version has a ton of stuff including xposed but that's already on XDA.
Their marshmallow seems pretty basic so far though:
Deodexed, Busybox, Init.d support and Call Recorder
EDIT: There's another Spanish forum and nobody is complaining about no google contacts sync on either the German android-hilfe.de thread and Spanish forum which is interesting. It isn't listed as a bug either.

I would be guessing that is because they flashed MM Gapps and it worked but I personally haven't tried that yet. However fromFuture Rom works like a charm and if you wanna go to KangVipRom you can even reflash over the fromFuture and it will work. I will give it a try again to see if reflashing Gapps will do any good.
BTW, this cusrom compatible for UL00?

It's likely because you have all your contacts in. But you will not be able to sync any new. I tried to flash open gapps. The phone booted but having black screen instead of launcher. At this stage I pass this KangVip

VIE-L29 C900B300 Android N 'The aftermath!'

Hi Everyone!
I have a Huawei P9 Plus and upgraded to Nougat with the info found on this forum. Everything was great until I noticed issues with Bluetooth and Keyboard. I made a factory reset and things got worst, the phone was not moving from Huawei's logo!
After a lot of research, I got it to boot by installing Nougat again with the VOL + VOL - POWER technique (used the HiSuite + Updater found on this forum) and at least, I have a functional phone again with the same issues previously mentioned.
I found a rollback file to prepare the phone to go back to Marshmallow. I made the same vol up vol down power stuff and got it to show VIE-L29C900B300 instead of something with 'testkeys' or something like that.
Every tutorial I have found mentions this step, but I can't seem to find the Marshmallow stock ROM for my phone. I tried one UPDATE.APP for 'Middle East Africa' but the rollback for this ROM did not work when I tried to flash it. The rollback that worked was for 'Southern East Asia'. I can't find the stock ROM for this version!
I'm from Nicaragua and I bought this phone brand new from a local store and I never took a look at what the CXXXBXXX was on the first place, I just know that the phone booted with the VIE-L29C900B300.
Can you guys help me find a Marshmallow stock ROM for this model?
PD: Where the heck is the clock app on Nougat anyways? I can't set up alarms as I could not find this app on the phone!
Your support is highly appreciated!

I think u have C605, what Nougat did u update with, C636 or C185. U updated the wrong Nougat and u did it the wrong way and thats why u had Test Key Build without keyboard, bluetooth and other apps.
Now u need a full stock C605 Firmware to downgrade to MM.

Thanks for your input! Can you help me out to find a URL to such ROM?
I upgraded to N by using HiSuite but I think I will use the forced update to upload the UPDATE.APP
It can be N or Marshmallow, as long as everything works again!

The only firmware to find is Nougat C605B354 there is a MM firmware C605B131 but the server is down and u cant use it.
U can try this guide with Firmware Finder.
What you need?
1. Charged phone
2. Enabled installing unknown apps
3. Download Firmware Finder from Google Store (the free version)
what next?
1. Run Firmware Finder
2. Go to settings and Enable Installation via system update.
3. Tool will prompt to download Firmware Finder Proxy - do it then install it
4. Go back to the tool and select firmware of your choice - make sure you select FULL (not OTA)
5. Firmware Finder Proxy window will open - do as described - go to Wifi, advanced add manual proxy as local host with 8080 port
6. Go to phone settings - system update and choose three dots to download full package
7. It will attempt to download it but it may fail (as in my case) with message about unstable internet connection - go back to wifi settings and disable proxy, go back to update and resume it - update should start to download then follow as on screen instructions

You are right, I can't find such ROM.
One more thing, now that I'm using this Nougat ROM, I noticed that there are many apps missing like Clock, Notepad and even calculator!
When I tried flashing another MM rom (invalid one) I noticed that I couldn't do the factory reset from Huawei's erecovery. I have heard that Nougat blocked the System partition, is that so?
Also, if I can't go back to MM, do you have any URL to a working Nougat version for my phone?
Thanks again for your help!

Bought P10 Plus in China, change to EU version ?

Hello Everyone,
My mom just got back from china and got a present for my birthday.
A p10 plus dual sim 128 gb.
The only problem is there is no google playstore and the HiApp stays in Chinese despite the fact the whole phone is in another language.
Can anyone help me step by step with these issues, please ?
I have a VKY-AL00C00B157, emui 5.1 ANDROID 7.0
Thank you very much.
Ldes.
You should wait for someone to post its google apps or you can reflash it by changing the region.
Until then use a third party marketplace
Hi, from the chinese forum the latest update to P10 seems to include google play store, which is hidden in Add Account section in settings. Maybe you can have a try in that direction?
Hi. I got the standard P10 (not the plus) 128GB dual sim Chinese model (also a birthday present!). I was able to get Google play store running by installing "GMS Installer" from the HiMarket app store included on the phone. After that you can also install Google Play Store from the HiMarket app. I think there must be at least some core google services shipped, laying dormant, in the Chinese ROMs because no rooting or flashing was necessary.
This was good enough to getting most the google related stuff (gmail, youtube, etc.) working. However there is a lot of bloat on the ROM from apps that Huawei includes in the Chinese ROM, and many of the apps (even the HiMarket app) that do not work in English. I couldn't get voice search integration working as Huawei hardcoded that to use their own HiVoice service in (and it only supports Chinese) and notifications didn't seem to be working properly either. Also the HiMarket and Google play store apps step on each others toes a bit in trying to manage updates for your installed apps. It was adequate, but it just felt all a bit tacked on rather than something that was seamlessly integrated.
So in the end I decided to rebrand and reflash the phone with a European ROM using the funky Huawei site. It's a paid service so I can't really say much more but I am sure you can find it easy. It worked well and I am glad I did as the there is far less bloat and crapware, the google integration is better and google assist is the native voice search.
Any ideas for rooting?
Yes, you can simply install Google Play Store in HiMarket. You can find all Google Apps there. If you want to sync your Google contacts, you need to install 联系人同步服务 , just copy and paste these Chinese Characters and search it in HiMarket. After installing it, you need to go to the App settings to grant all the permissions in 联系人同步服务 (Google contact sync). Everything then works fine.

A friend of mine have similar problem, have a china P10 and wants to flash a Hong Kong ROM, is it possible to do this using sites like funkyhuawei.com.
I'm sure the op's also wants to know the same answer.
Reading the forum, members are flashing the L29 rom on a L09 phones to get the dual sim function, isn't this the same.

Quite difficult, you have to install the Google Play Service in recovery mode.

Huawei phones in China already included Google Framework in it. I am using Honor V8 from China. I just install Google Play Store from HiMarket and it works without any problem.

what is the default search engine, is it baidu or google, to make it simple, can you just flash a non china rom on a phone from china.

Baidu.
You can flash a non-china ROM but not directly.... There are a few procedures required. The device needs to be rebranded and to do that you need to unlock the boot loader and install a custom recovery (TWRP), then overwrite the oeminfo partition. Then you can flash an international ROM. I used the funky Huawei method to do this.

Hi, any chance that any VTR-AL00 owner could backup and post its oeminfo partition? (TWRP could do it easy). That is the only partition missing that stock roms do not include but are required to rebrand. AL00 models update faster than European variants (they have newer Nougat and Oreo builds at this point). There is a oeminfo collection thread in the ROM development section, but VTR-AL00 is missing.
Thank you in advance
