Is Nougat REALLY rolling out in China for the P9? - Huawei P9 Questions & Answers

It's been about a month since we heard final P9 Nougat was rolling out, but as yet I have seen no Nougat roms for download.
Also, 7 whole months since the beta was released! With not one bug-fixed version since?
I'm sceptical!

[Discussion] Android 7.0 Nougat released for Nexus devices!

Seeing as there is no thread for the OP3 discussing Nougat as it pertains to this device, I though I would start a discussion thread.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android-nougat-finally-released-get-it-now/
Android 7.0 was released August 22nd 2016 for the Nexus 5X, Pixel C, and Nexus 9 tablet. The factory images are available for download. Interestingly, Google also announced that the LG V20 will be the first device to launch with 7.0, meaning the Marlin and Sailfish nexuses are a bit farther away.
Hopefully OnePlus releases 7.0 for the OP3 sooner rather than later...
Edit: Nexus 6 and 6P have yet to receive OTA, but are expected to receive it soon
Hope they release the source soon so that the custom roms start popping up
What's the typical time frame from update to aosp I thought they were at the same time in the past

curious as to whether OOS or CM will get a full Android N ROM together first.

Since the OP3 devs are awesome, i'd guess there will be unofficial builds of CM before OnePlus releases the official OOS Nougat build. Although obviously early CM Nougat builds may not be 100% stable, but will obviously improve over time.
Now to wait for the AOSP drop and for someone talented to put together a ROM
Of course a custom ROM will come first, OOS takes far too long for what little changes it has.
I hope @Grarak will do his magic when the sources are available!
CM14 will take a long time (don't quote me on this but I guess it will be somewhere around December)
Jesus I cannot wait to try Nougat
Is it just me waiting for the OOS version of Nougat?
If you go by Android 6 releases, it took Oneplus ~9 months to release it after official release, so I expect the OnePlus 3 to receive Android 7 in May 2017.
AOSP sources have been updated soo. If someone wants to cook something up the resources are there.

You're not the only one. The only thing better than stock Android is OOS.
they were collecting 50 OP3 beta testers on theyr forum few weaks ago so i think that was android N beta testing phase.

Sounds great. Would be great to see nougat soon.
Android N does not look to be a giant leap from M so I don't think it will take OnePlus that long to get a beta or full release out

yeah, just multiwindow and vr support and little little design changes + some changes to doze. testing the final release on my 5x.
Moreover OP have to adjust the drivers for nougat...
The OP3 ist my daily driver, so i want a stable build.
I dont think oneplus will take longer time to update to android n. They may have learnt their mistakes they did in oneplus 2 and might not repeat this time. This is just my opinion.
If OP releases a stable Nougat build before the end of the year I would consider that a success. More importantly, I'd like them to release their camera source code so that it can be used in Aosp or CM based ROMs

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.
Sent from my HUAWEI CRR-L09 using Tapatalk
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.
I hope this proves to be useful and I wish you a great day!

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.

Taiwan and HK ROM still no Oreo?

It has been 2 months since the release of Oreo in XP and still I havent recieved any notfications? Why is that?

F8132 Customized TW has already received Android Oreo update.
(41.3.A.2.75 Released March-02-2018)

G5S Plus Oreo and June security out yet?

So I saw some articles stating that Oreo is finally rolling out together with the June security patch. I haven't gotten 8.0 or 8.1 but I do have the June patch. Does anyone know when it could be rolling out for everyone?
I've not seen any mention of a general release of the G5S+ stock Oreo on Reddit or on here, usually if there's an update there's a mention (usually a lot of mentions) somewhere. The latest information seems to be the Oreo update is still in soak beta testing, and Motorola releases the update when they're happy with it. I've no idea when that release may be, if it has minor bugs or is ready, then it may be very soon. If they're finding major bugs, as had happened to other OEMs with their Oreo update, they may hold the update until the bugs are fixed. In summary, you'll have to wait for Motorola.
