Easiest way to get close to vanilla android. - P8 Lite (2017) Discussion

I am on model PRA-LX3 build PRA-LX3C178B178 (branded as P9 Lite 2017 in Latin America where I live but it actually has P8 lite 2017 hardware: Kirin 655, 3GB RAM 16GB storage). It has received android 7.0 and EMUI 5.0.2 official OTA updates and there are no more official updates available.
Which ROM will work, be easy to install, and be as close to vanilla android as possible.
I don't care if it's Oreo or Nougat.

Here you go.
It's important to delete the fingerprints first, before installing any custom rom.

Do a rebrand on LX1С432, there are updates and beta android 8. Just do not forget to make a backup oeminfo partition, for return back.

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

How to update a friend's P9 from 6.0 to 7.0 and root it

Hey all,
So my friend currently has a P9. He's wanting to update from 6.0 to 7.0 (or the latest available stock version for his phone) and then root it. I've no experience with Huawei phones, I'm an LG guy. What would be the best way for him to do this?
His device information is:
Region - Australia
Model - EVA-L09 Huawei P9
Build Number - EVA-L09C346B195
EMUI 4.1.3 on Android 6.0
September 5th security patch level, kernel built on Mon Sep 4
I've read about downloading the 7.0 update and putting it on his phone and doing the local update but I'm unsure where to get the update files needed or what version, etc. It's his work phone so he'd prefer the latest available stock 7.0 version. Then, how do we go about the best way to root it for him?
Thanks a ton to anyone able to help!

HUAWEI announcement Android 8.0

Will the P10 and P10 Plus get the latest Android 8.0 update? Huawei just published an update which I saw on Google cards stating that the FF devices will receive Android 8.0:
Mate 8
P9 and P9 Plus
Nova 2
Nova 2i
Nova Youth.
I am pretty disappointed by this as the Mate 9 received its update already, while the high-end P10 doesn't have any news for it.

Huawei P10 is currently in beta testing for oreo so I think it is not necessary to include in the list
YES...on beta testing.. All is ok.
My P9 (EVA-L09) is still on 6.0 didn't got 7.0 yet.... is it possible to update straight to 8.0 !!!!

Mhhh, Android versions do not add substantial features lately. Oreo added Treble, but it's optional. Other changes are hidden to the user and not really relevant, often go against users convenience or will.
EMUI on the other hand did progress a bit more. Version 5 is usable (still did not try 8), although several much needed features are still missing. IE, selectable amount of columns/rows in launcher (this, among other tweaks are provided with kangvip in P10), but it's hard to understand corporations decisions...
Summarizing, MM is fine, you are not missing much.
The really good news about Oreo is that kernel sources are not broken now (as they were when Nougat sources were published), so kernel development could make a difference now. We 'only' need an active kernel dev now

Fastest Version of Huawei P9

Can anybody recommend a version or build of the best version of P9? Like the older updates and such that has longer battery and better performance etc? Thanks in advance !
the slow but best solution:
wait until official oreo rolls out in europe, flash/update to emui 8, install a treble GSI.

Well I don't know will we get the official update but Android P custom ROMs should be easier to make now since our phone now has Project Treble support since as well before the official version was released I sae that someone managed to boot Android P Developer Preview 3 on this phone a month or two back.
@dinoderda I dont have root

I don't think the P8 Lite 2017 will get Android P,since the original P8 Lite only got one major Android version upgrade,and that is from Lollipop to Marshmallow.
