Please Could Someone Build TWRP For Android 7 Beta - Huawei P9 Questions & Answers

Hi all,
TWRP doesn't seem to be working on the Android N beta. Does anyone know how to build TWRP for Nougat on our device or if possible could someone point me in the right direction?
I would really like to get Google Assistant working and build prop editing seems to be the only way.
Regards
Lee

i`m already in contact with one dev from the honor 8 forum and testing twrp for nougat. at now it is booting but there are some things to fix before it is ready for release. i would stay away from it at now because you could not flash anything with it. i will tell him to start a thread here after the relevant fixes are done.

Thank you very much for all that you and your fellow dev are doing.
If he wouldn't mind starting a thread to keep us updated that would be brilliant.
I am willing to help where I can if needed.

This is awesome...thanks so much

TWRP 2.6

After all this discussion about TWRP incompatibility with 4.3 roms, I decided to go to the Team Win site and see. It seems that TWRP 2.6 is tweaked to work with new roms, but when I did a search to find it for the Exhibit, nothing came up. I guess we are meant to use a version written for another device, but I do not know which one I should use. If anyone could point me to the correct download, I would greatly appreciate it.

You won't be able to use a different devices version. Just have to wait until someone finds time to compile it for this phone. I haven't had any luck yet building for my tablet, or I would give it a go.

Let us thank all Custom Rom devs here at XDA for our device!

We all bought our devices for one reason or another but have came to XDA with the intention of making them better and some of us have done much more than try to fix tiny issues. I want to thank all who have and are developing Custom Roms for our device. If I have missed anyone who has contributed I compel you to write his name so I could add him along with a link if any! We should all know how hard it is to code. For some it's easy but for the most part it's hard work and people tend to forget that. I myself have started learning Python thanks to these people and a fairly recent show named Silicon Valley from cough* cough* 2014. So without further ado! Here are the people I want to thank and you could thank too if you haven't already in one way or another:
@haky 86 (including anyone who has helped) link to his ongoing process:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8l...rom-cyanogen-mod-12-0-huawei-p8-lite-t3433523
@Olrak (including all omnirom devs who helped) link to his ongoing process:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/orig-development/rom-unofficial-omnirom-5-1-t3400392
@XePeleato (you know what I' going to write here >____>) link to his ongoing process:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/rom-aosp-5-1-1-ale-l21-t3350106
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-0-arrived-t3419852
A thanks to @sokkoban for making ever so slight but very useful changes to our stock emui roms. Link to some of his progress (I had to add his blogspot with his work since most of his threads here are deleted)
http://huaweip8lite.blogspot.bg/
I thank @dkonect for sharing once again the recovery needed for these roms which is developed again by XePeleato link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/twrp-3-0-0-0-p8-lite-kirin-t3343320
That includes me thanking haky 86 for giving us CWM but I put TWRP's link up there because it is currently the most used one for our device with full fearures. Pls don't kill me >___>...
And again a thank you to @hackslash (thank you for mentioning him) for helping everyone mentioned above and developing for honor 4C. (If you want to I could add someone here •___•). link to his ongoing process (if I haven't missed any):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4c/development/cm13-huawei-honor-4c-based-hisilicon-t3367224
I'd like to then thank @codeworkx for even starting to and helping everyone here with his code on the Honor 6. Some of his progress here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-11-honor-6-t3019056
Also I'd like to thank the Mate 7 developer who I couldn't catch his name again for helping with the RIL issues. If he is the person I think he is then he should be @gabry3795 with his process right here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mat...pdate-ascend-mate-7-stock-derivative-t3241661
If that isn't him then I compel someone to help me again but even if that isn't him I'd still like to thank that person for making a petition regarding huawei's closed source information. Granted it isn't for our device but it's for the right cause.
As you also might've noticed, our developers could use help and as somebody who is helpless in coding I feel the need to at least ask around if somebody is capable to help if needed. I am not forcing anyone I just ask politely.
Thank you for reading this long post! Here is a potato person>> (>*__*)>
P.S I excuse myself for any other mistakes in my writing if any because I didn't double check everything.... >____>
Link to my ongoing process: empty............................

must resist
but I can't >____> halp
It looks pretty fine, the name of the MT7 developer is correct. About the help, the help We need comes from China and doesn't want to know anything about us. That doesn't mean that if you are not Huawei you can't help, I appreciate every contribution. In my opinion you should include as well to @hackslash even though he's working on the Honor 4C, his contributions have been really great and it's a pleasure to work with him as well as with all the people you listed above.

Thank you for mentioning him and for making me interested in Python. If you're wondering how. You once said you're a C++ dev and I know a little of a similar language named C# but in order to understand more of these two languages I needed Python. And so swish swosh >>
Actually, you should thank for RIL @codeworkx who was developing CM for Honor 6, @gabry3795 just took his code from H6 device tree.
You should include sokoban too for making deodex rom for this phone.
Thanks to all Devs for working on our device ! ^_^
Btw is there any stable rom going to be released ? Wt about CM 13 ? Are we gonna get it or not ? ☹☹☹

Hello, sokkoban.
I've installed your B574 Deodexed and I have two suggestions for your future version of ROM:
1) Implement multi window directly inti ROM. It's a feature many people want and also people are having issues with your rom when using multi window.
2) Auto hide navigation bar. There is a button but it's very annoying to press every time you go into an app.
And I have one question:
3) Are you only going to make ROMs based on Chinese ROM or you will also make European ones?

Thank you!
@Prostokuche Thank you for this mention, I am proud to contribute to this project. After all we are all fighting the same battle And yes, I started the petition about a year ago forcing huawei to release the sources needed for a custom ROM (Mate7 scenario is worse than the p8 one )
I also want to point out that the HuaweiRIL.java module belongs to cyanogenmod project as stated in the license header. My edit on RIL project are signed by me and those to the HuaweiRIL.java was just to exclude features that are not supported by Mate7. :highfive:
I hope you can release a fully working ROM for your device! Good luck!

LOS 13

Hi guys. Is there anyone who is interested to keep the most stable and usable custom ROM (LOS 13) up to date with security patches. I know there are a few new rom out here, but all has issues.
If nobody interested to do, I would highly appreciate that if somebody would provide a step by step guide how to do it.
Many thanks.

Then you should ask that guy, if he can help you out.
Building lineageOS is not a kind of magic, if you look around at xda or lineage itself.
Where did you search for a guide to build it for yourself?

I was searching in lineage wiki but i have win7 as main system and just to build LOS i dont really want to install a full linux.
I have a debian jessie system, but just for testing , so its HDD capacity is limited and the recommendation is about 100Gig.
So i cant really afford a 200G+ ssd.
But seems like i have no other options if i want an up to date android or maybe its time to get a new phone.

Built AOSP extended, sort of works. Someone give me a clue?

I posted in the main Android forum for help, but it's so busy there! I figured I may get some help in a more relevant device community. To avoid reposts, here is the original thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/help-build-source-failed-make-otapackage-t3831440
Big thanks to Psy_Man, I used his device tree and kernel to build.
If anyone wants to try my build it's here (use opengapps nano, stock seems to crash the setup wizard, probably because it removes webview). Everything seems to work but I have no clue how to fix anything so don't bother sending me logcats

Maybe (very probably) I missed something but in your thread asking for help you say the problem is build doesn't complete, error at 99%, but then you do have a build that I think (from what some guys say in telegram) boots and all. So what do you need the help for exactly?
On the other hand I always found help posting my problems in the complete android rom development source to end thread, the one with like 900 pages and going....
https://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/guide-android-rom-development-t2814763
you should post on development section, if you want to keep updating the ROM, many people will try your ROM and help to test it and maybe will help for the solutions too.

I am a complete Linux noob, I have literally never used a compiler before in my life. Yes my build works and boots (which I am amazed at because it's my first try) but I need help in understanding why one way worked and the other way didn't. Thanks for the tip about the development guide

I would post there, need to get my post count up first :laugh:
I made another test build after setting up my own github account, this time no compile errors at all, and I got an xxx-UNOFFICIAL.zip this time like I'm supposed to! Who knows why it didn't work the first time, but i'm (very) slowly getting the hang of this
Have made a build that works properly now, will make a dev page as soon as i'm allowed. if anyone wants to try it out it's here https://drive.google.com/open?id=1SQGaI4U0KeQQKJwq6EyRsa2VQph91oHA

TWRP, did we get ditched?

I'm really annoyed at the fact we still haven't have got an official twrp build. There are beta builds of course but has lots of bugs. A lot of users (including me) would really want a stable build ( I mean who wouldn't?)
It can be hard but it's been months...
Please ........
TWRP only bring out stable versions if anyone in their development team has this device. I have asked them this question ages ago on a different device and that is the answer a was given.
