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

Sent from my ALE-L21 using XDA Labs
lol wut, chipset on new device is different, old P8 lite will not get new Android officially, stupid post, close it pls
Smells like Samsung. Everyone want Android KitKat on Samsung S3 but Samsuns makes a new one (The S3 Neo), lol
Hi. Can someone tell me every custom rom for P8lite (ALE-L21)? I HATE EMUI!
You can also say roms for other Kirin 620 cpu devices, like honor 4c, 4x, if they are compatible
thanks!

There are no custom roms for daily usage at the moment.
Here are projects that might have active developing and might have a stable release someday.

ps. use search next time.
Okay some of you will have seen the meticulous made various builds, cyanogen 13, beanstalk 6.25 and lineage 14.1 for his p9 lite. The chipset is the Hi6250 exactly the same as the honor 5c. So these builds install and run just as well on either phone. Now my question is, could you install the latest p9 lite firmware(with emui 5 + nougat) on the 5c??? Obviously it won't be that simple and I guess you'll need to use his modified twrp recovery you flash it.
Does anyone know if this can be done and explain how??
That being said I have a little feeling of ill ease that I'm going to be ? shot down in flames for asking such a ridiculous question. Please be gentle(if you never ask questions you can never fully learn)
Thanks honorable people's
Hell no.
It is different with the CM builds - they are written for Hi6250 and the Huawei/Honor originals are made strictly for a product. You can't even use Nem-22 on Nem-21 because of the basebands and stuff.
If you want Nougat use tread by Schizmatyk.
I am on this Beta now and is actually nice
am i only one who thinks honor 7 lite is good even on android 6? sure emui 5 has better theme imo.

I am too.
Searching the whole Redmi 4x a.k.a Redmi 4(India) thread on XDA I came up to know that xiaomi has not released kernel sources yet. I was looking forward to buy this device but looking at the lazy response from manufacturer I doubt the development and getting it. Share your thoughts and suggestion down below. Should I get this device or get Lenovo zuk Z2 plus which is available around the same price ?
I'm waiting for a deal to get one for my mom. I'm happy so far with my Note 4X (SD 625) which I'm running with Resurrection Remix, so I think a slighty downsized and down-specced version would be great for her. If there is no custom firmware in the near future, she'll be fine. I wouldn't wanna miss LOS or RR on my phone, but MIUI isn't bad for lots of people.
There are already a few custom ROMs for RM4X like yurekaOS based on nougat 7.1.2 and as i read in forums it seems to be running ok for the most users.
Still i wouldn't expect too much in custom development. see RM3S for example. there are ROMs available but development goes slow
So if you are no friend of MIUI (and upcoming MIUI 9) and want lot of custom development then you might consider buying another phone.
Hi,
any plans for CM 13.1 or Lineage equivalent for Redmi Note 4X Qualcomm not built on nougat?
Need Android 6 as 7+ doesn't allow for USB bus speed auto-negotiation, which is "kinda" big deal in my application.
Thanks for input

You are asking for "Mido" not for Redmi 4X "Santoni"
It is better to search here:

its been a few years since i modded a phone. i recently got my hands on a used samsung galaxy note 8 {factory unlocked/no carrier} with a snapdragon processor.
model # SM-N950U1
Im searching around this forum but most of the info is for exynos processors.
i need to unlock the bootloader and root so that i can install
LineageOS 19.1.how can i do this?
The snapdragon version is called the "greatqlte". You can root it via twrp, but I'm not sure about custom rom support, and definitely not lineage19.1.
The snapdragon version has basically no support on xda. Someone posted a question similar to yours a while back.
too bad , its still a good phone, whats the highest version of android i can install ?
I don't think there are any roms.. I think I saw an oreo one, but you're probably better off sticking to oneui on android 9, which is stable (unlike the oreo build).
You can still root and debloat/customise your phone via magisk modules etc.
