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.

Hi all
I have a c432 device
I've had nougat since the beta, currently using b386.
What's the best software version to be on right now? I feel that 386 is a quite laggy, as was 378.
Is this just a nougat problem and b182 is where we should be?
I too would like I know this and also is the battery life still an issue on MM?
Thanks.
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.

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
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 LX1ะก432, there are updates and beta android 8. Just do not forget to make a backup oeminfo partition, for return back.

First of all, to flash anything (root,TWRP, custom ROMs) you must unlock Bootloader
Second, check the threads in ROMs section but if I recall correctly for P9, EMUI 5, there were only two or three custom ROMs based on stock and one or two (LOS and maybe RR) based on AOSP - developed (and stopped) back in 2017
EMUI 5 was not ready for GSI ROMs, and every custom ROM must have been adapted and ported to P9
You probably think about new, GSI based Pixel Experience or similar ROMs - for that you would first need to update to EMUI 8, Oreo (and rebrand from your Italian to Chinese EMUI because EMUI 8 was only released for China)
All together not impossible but not as easy and friendly as if you would have a new (Android 9 or 10) Xiaomi, One Plus or a similar phone where you just unlock Bootloader and start experimenting with GSI ROMs
Last but not the least, specially if you are a newbie, think about the community regarding help, learning from, sharing experience - there are only two or three users who are still actively experimenting with GSI/AOSP custom ROMs on P9, posting only something from month to month here, hence you will mostly need to go alone

If your device is unlocked, rebranded and updated to EMUI 8.0, you can install GSI ROMs with some issues. You're better off installing OpenKirin ROMs or sticking to EMUI 8.0. This device isn't very active in development, but we will try to help. You can install phh-based Android O/P ROMs. Android Q GSIs don't work because of this device's VNDK 26.
