Guys what do you think? Will it come or not.
Im speccially interestet in the P9+. But i dont like the software of this device.
At least not until Huawei releases the source of the P9+. And, it's known that Huawei only releases the basics needed to be GPL compliant. It could take a few months before development really starts for this device. Unofficial ports will be available, official CyanogenMod versions.... We'll see
I understand that problem. I still hope..
First of all we need:
- An Unlocked Bootloader
- Release of Kernel Sources
- TWRP (Custom Recovery)
Additionally:
What affect would any rom development have on proprietary drivers/software for the Leica cameras ?
I personally dont care much about the kamera

Thats fair enough.
What is the custom rom scene for other Huawei smartphones like eg P8 & Mate 8 ?

Unfortunately I do not think that you'll get CyanogenMod for this device even unofficially ... especially because the processor is Kirin and not Qualcomm !
Qualcomm provides source code for development, that's why almost all Qualcomm devices has CM officially or unofficially.
To bring CM for this device isn't impossible ... but it requires a very very good developer ....
You can take a look on P7 and P8 to see if CM exist ... if Yes, then you can hope ... P6 have a CM-11.0 ported of me , but is not 100% fixed .
I hope that a good developer will be here ( sooner or later ) to bring CM for P9 and/or P9+
Best regards !

But is a good developer also able to port CM without sources? Sorry for my ignorance, im studying biotechnology, not informatics :silly:
Sadly there is no CM for the p9.

very well your question
Indeed, is not a build of cm but rather a port of cm , because lack of source code ... with only kernel source code provided from Huawei, you'll not be able to build and run cm in your device !
Hope you understand !
It is not entirely impossible.
However, I am lucky to own a Huawei Honor 4C and P8 Lite. Both have HiSilicon Kirin 620 SoC. And this the only Kirin version which is officially supported by Google and thus has kernel source codes and AOSP 6.0 and 5.1.1 source codes available. Although, it's still difficult to port as RIL is the only thing which isn't fixed and requires dirty framework hacks.
As for P9, from kernel source codes, you might be able to compile kernel compatible with CyannogenMod and also might be able to get it to boot but the Huawei proprietary stuff such as NFC, Fingerprint Support, etc, they will never ever work because they rely on source codes which unfortunately Huawei are not obliged to release. And yeah, you'll lose Leica features and other proprietary camera things. If you love CM or AOSP and can't live without that, stay away from this device or you'll regret your decision.

- Huawei has an official Bootloader Unlock Program for all their devices so don't worry about that.
- Kernel Sources - Under the GPL they'll be released but they would be a complete mess. For all the kernel sources from Huawei I have tested so far, none of them compiles. (and you would laugh at literally 10000 C errors that spawn up while building).
- TWRP - You'll get that easily. That's a no brainer.
- You'll lose proprietary stuff for Leica, NFC, Fingerprint Support, IR blaster, and many others. (All this mentioned stuff won't even work)

How about having a debloated custom rom based on stock - Would that be possible & would that effect proprietary stuff mentioned above ?

Those are the only ROMs Huawei HiSilicon phones get. A debloated custom ROM based on Stock. That wouldn't effect any of the proprietary stuff. Only useless apps are removed which do not effect phone performance or capabilities. Personally, I debloat them myself rather than relying on Stock based ROMs. It doesn't make a great difference.

I do respect your opinion but really... EMUI is best??? Oh man!!! That's seriously gross.....
hahaha have been reading and laughing at this pages comments...actually that's why the android gods invented 'LAUNCHERS' i have the P9 and yes there is a little bloat on it but nothing that really makes you think...WOW i really need to clean this device up...yes EMUI is basically IOS with a different title...but it also does have a few quirks worth keeping...every OEM skin does...including touchwizz...and i am no fan of sh!tsung myself and never have been...as for the camera...just about every time i use it i get more and more impressed with it,especially the monochrome mode seriously makes you feel like a professional photographer,build quality is also seriuously good they didn't pull any punches there.the new fingerprint scanner which also maps your fingerprint ridges in 3D...is even more impressive than the one on the nexus 6p,it has NFC which means when USA finally get a version available it will support android pay,huawei said that the lazer auto focus means you do not need OIS and so far after a few days they are correct,shooting video...different story it's really needed for that...and no 4K recording which is a bummer,if it had these two options in the specs it may well justify the price tag
[Quick OTE=mfbcool;66272493]I do respect your opinion but really... EMUI is best??? Oh man!!! That's seriously gross.....[/QUOTE]
It is done same way as iOS no app draw so? If i told you apple did emui you would go woooow amazing..
What is so wrong where are the issuse I really don't undersyand ppl.. Everything works as it should..
Why u not complaining on ios where is all the same as on huawei emui..
It may be a little foolish to ask but Can you please try to port coolpad rom to port le eco
Maybe they use the same source code as they used to be the same company or say in partnership. They even sold their phones with eui.
Coolpad has Android 7.1.1
Maybe they still share the same source code

Hello,
i am really disappointed From the fact that we dont have a stable Oreo rom, i appreciate the work that some developer did like surdu and haky ....
But watching Chinese mtk old devices get oreo, also Galaxy s2 !!!!! got an oreo rom and one plus 1 and other old devices all of them got oreo despite being on marshmallow or above
by this post i just wanted to share my thoughts in this topic and motivate developers especially surdu to keep doing what they do

Don't compare sd phones with kirin 620 soc. Even Mediatek has better support than us...
I am also desperately waiting for a Oreo Rom bro
but the Devs need their time
Really There are so much of you extreme smart developers but non of you have build/ported a oreo ROM for the device leeco le 2 x626.
You all did such amazing stuff and building zo much roms but still not 1 fort this devices.
Please let there be 1 off you smart guys tot try this.
Iff needed someone to test the ROM because you dont have the device i can test it for you but please try it at least.
Impossible for the moment, it would be necessary to have the sources codes. Even by porting a ROM, it would not be possible because the stock kernel can not officially support Oreo.

We ported lolipop/marshmallow roms and now are stuck and bored we want new android versions , is there any way to cross port rom i.e. from snapdragon 616/210/400/425 to snapdragon 410 ?

No idea. It is very difficult, or most likely impossible to crossport the rom from another chipset especially for device that has no sourcce code. I will add redmi 2 to your list (snapdrgon 410), same chipset with oppo, but it can even gets stable android 10 (Lineageos 17.1). But no one developer in xda to port it to oppo a37, cause the source.

Almost impossible, unless Project Mainline comes out and support every version of Android with cross platform support, it is not possible. (From my 4 years of experience.)
