Jesus Christ, very good news, but this can mean rip p8lite...usually huawei release kernel when they don't update phones anymore(exept newer ones)... And + i saw that huawei abandon old phones, and sadly our is old... I hope we will still get some updates

That means now we can have fully functional custom rom or what ?

Not really... We still don't have device tree or other sources... Bad sadly, they released this kernel, but our roms now are using 4.1, soo we don't get nearly anything new
Ok, bad news... This kernel isn't buildable, no makefile....fck off
Or actually...gnome unrar couldn't unrar normally xd now testing

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 Bootloader can be unlocked easily by now.I'm a Chinese,lots of instructions are on our websites.And the TWRP for Honor 5C is already available.

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.

Go check on my github for the device tree,and XePelato for the kernel source.
Although the kernel source is there,it is tricky to build(only two people managed to build it...)

If someone wants to compile the kernel, it's here: https://github.com/XePeleato/android_kernel_huawei_venus
The instructions are inside, if someone could report if it works, I'd really appreciate it.

The product we should add the ramdisk to is the "Image" file or the "Image.gz" file?

I'm sorry but I see this too late.I have a Honor 5C with 3GB RAM(NEM-AL10).I can test it on my phone.Can you try it?

Anyone knows releases emui 4.1 for p8 lite
I would hope for emui 5 with android 7 nougat,I dont feel like emui 4.1 will make such a difference.
Sources say that this will be released in Q1 or Q2 2017 but we dont know whether it is emui 4.1 or 5.

Look at sites like this one:
http://article.isunfar.com.tw/posts/information/Android%207.0%20Nougat的手機升級清單/26950
Its chineese, but the device names could be read ))
"For those wondering, EMUI 5 will be coming to other devices with the update planned for the Mate 8, P9 and P9 Plus early next year followed by the honor 8 and other Honor branded devices in Q2 2017. Hardware limitations aside – such as a dual lens camera etc – most devices getting EMUI 5 should get the full feature set and for those not set to get the update, there will be an updated version of EMUI 4.1 that will bring some of these changes. The P8 and P8 Lite are likely to be two devices that aren’t updated to EMUI 5 but instead get a tweaked version of EMUI 4.1, with some of the functionality from the latest version." android authority

Everybody here is saying that wating for a custom rom for p8lite2017 is a waste of time because huawei doesn't release the sources, then why does honor 8 have so many custom roms for it ? It has EMUI 5 just like us, it's made by the same company in the same year, how did the devs manage to make roms for it ??
Honor 8 source code is released, for P8 Lite 2017 isn't.

Some developers (also I) take the data of the devices which they own. They do not need the official resources. Therefore, there is not custom rom also from devices his resources were published. I build my custom rom when android 8 is released.

I already work some time on a EMUI 5 custom rom. Alike for Honor 6x. Only of the Kernel is not enough. We also need 100% Recovery. There is not that.

True. Our Recovery isn't that all stable and consistent. I am not really expecting too much from this phone since its a budget device, and I got most of the things I want and need to work: root, busybox, Viper4Android. The TWRP is a bonus, even if its in a semi-usable state.
It's great if we can have Custom ROMs, but even just a custom kernel will suffice for now.
OFFTOPIC: On another note, I am hoping that Xposed will somehow work for Android 7 onwards. Even without a Custom ROM, that will open a lot of doors for customization.
