I'm thinking of buying P9+.
I've been looking xda and I'm wondering, why aren't there custom ROM's for this phone?
Is it not interesting to developers? It's not so new, that can't be it. Is it so good no-one want's to tweak it?
It can be rooted. Is it fairly easy? Root helps
But I really like trying different ROMs and "make it mine"
it's so good out of the box!
After years with Sammy devices, those i flash directly out of box, hardly start them stock ever.
But with P9+ i don't need that, this **** fit me perfectly!
That is not an xda answer...

You know how it is... The more attention a phone gets, the more it attracts new developers and that equals new roms and stuff
Also the fact is that it is rather difficult for developers to actually make new roms for phones that haven't released a "working" source code slash libs for it.
Masze has right though, it works really well with it's EMUI4.1(1), smooth as Google vanilla firmware. Not much bloat at all. And it has a very good theme engine, there is already themes here which used together with Nova launcher Beta looks/behaves very close to stock Android. The phone is very speedy and with a great screen(S-AMOLED), only thing really sucking is the unpossibility to use Googles latest security patches. I use leaked firmware for my region(B181) so at least I have the September patch, but I would really like to have the latest patches shortly after they arrive. That's the biggest con of Huawei.

Flash it manually?
I'm on B190, Oct 1 patch.
Although supposedly that was only a partial patch, with Google release a full one on Oct 5 fixing more critical bugs.
Would be nice if OEMs (not just Huawei) at least released security updates soon after release.

Yes I also agree with u. The phone is just amazing. I don't need any custom rom for it as the original functions are so good and so practical.
I saw many people mentioned about security patch but not quite sure what is it and how would it affect our phone? Is it easier to be hacked or ? Anything if we don't update the security patch?
Yes, Google releases security patches monthly mostly because they have been forced to do so by EU and US authorities. The reason is that Android is constantly under heavy attack from hackers and there is several new exploits each month. The most severe is those which takes over your phone just by connecting to a website. Anyway, Google monthly releases patches for those new exploits, the problem is Android is severely fragmented so the only really updated phones are Goggle vanilla Android on Nexus/Pixel or AOSP. Huawei is not the worst offender on being slow, but certainly not the quickest. And there is no known active developer of AOSP for P9 Plus.

I would say that Huawei is one of the slowest manufacturer to bring security updates.
Samsung is nowadays one of the fastest.
One bad example is P9 Plus. Huawei flagship (before Mate 9) and still the latest security update is from June and we are already on December.
That's six month after Google releases.
Pay 700$ for a phone and have no support from manufacturer afterwards. Welcome to Huawei customer...

They do have reasonably quick support, but only for certain markets. Earlier today I installed a rom with security patches for November made for the operator Telekom. It works alright but it's certainly not official for my country. For the Chinese market they are already on Android 7 Nougat. One wishes they could synchronize their releases a LOT better.
Hi,
OnePlus had promised official nougat update before end of 2016 for one plus 3. Anybody knows of any particular date that is announced?
We are merely a week away from new year.

no official announcement that i know of promised a stable N before years end,
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/closed-nougat-stable-update-for-oneplus-3.480526/
in a recent reply to someone on the OB9 though it was mentioned that another release (most probably beta) will be released before new years, so, that's why i said next is OB10 and it's most probably gonna be for OP3 and OP3T , before unifying the update cycles for both by the stable release, probably early January 2017

if all the issues were ironed out, all of us would like to see an N stable, but this is a development program, push backs are common, and they announce such things on the OP Community Forums, so far i haven't read that there.
they might release a stable before new years, the current beta 9 is solid, i use it as daily driver, all i'm saying that official on their website there's nothing yet to suggest so, specially that OP is known to tease such things ahead of it's release...as i said we all want to see it, my comments is regarding their official status.
I am not so sure that the official Nougat will be available by the year end. But it is possible to get another CB of N with some bug fixes. I tried OB9 and its rock solid.( Only thing is I don't like the accent colours that much ) Oneplus might play it safe by releasing official ota after all bug fixing is done.

Well, here we are and no sign of it yet!
I remember going through this a few years back with a Motorola phone, I used to keep hearing that these updates were "imminent," or likely to "roll out," in various places, at various dates.
If my memory serves me well, it never happened and I got bored with checking..
I'll be chuffed if it does happen before the end of today, but I've already checked and zip! :laugh:

The first beta was promised by end of November and we got it Nov 30 at 19.00 (European time). So we still have an entire day ?

Why samsung takes so much time to release ROM updates?
In Brazil the last one is N950FXXU1AQI1 and was released in september 10th.
Because they suck with updates :crying: They update the cheap and older models first and then the flagships.

If you don't know what's going on, then don't react at all!
The November security-patch is on test now; there were problems to be solved first:
* freezing problems after using Contacts-app
* High battery usage AOD
BlueBorne has been patched in the latest update
They are crap with updates, my UK unlocked exynos is on August security patch. What happened to September's and October's? Shocking. I have the S8 as well and that wasn't too bad with updates.

That may be but its taking Samsung since ages way to long to offer firmware updates and security patches. If Sony or Nokia can do it so should Samsung beeing a humongous company with more devs then any other OEM. Hopefully they will implement Project Treble in Oreo for easier and faster patch updates.

The problem isn't all Samsung's. Part of the issue is having to go through the carriers.
Google hopes to start solving the problem with Project Treble. If that works as advertised, we'll get more timely critical updates. The trouble is, we won't see Treble until Oreo hits the streets.
Hi All,
March security patch is out in UK today.
Others should get it soon.
I saw it on multiple forums that Oreo update will come after this patch.
New update means after 2 months....?
I am getting error while installing it. Please any help?
I got it today! March S Patch... in India
Just got the Match security patch. It was around 46 MB
I don't received the patch, my channel software is Retapac.
Sent from my G5S Plus using XDA Labs
Got it two days ago. Have observed way less wakelocks. ?
If they go straight to P, I wouldn't mind skipping Oreo entirely.
I got it a couple of days ago in Spain.
Everything working fine...
BUT the swipe left to Google stream. It just doesn't work. It 'lights' the side but nothing happens.
Anybody else?
It works well in my case.

I just got mine last night. Showed up as NPSS26.116-45-12
Might be me misremembering but the last retus patch seemed to take longer to rollout to the US compared to other countries, hopefully they are ramping up the pace of things. Now where is that Oreo...
Thanks, I ended up flashing NPSS26.116-45-12 using the full firmware (https : / / rsdsecure-cloud.motorola.com/download/SANDERS_NPSS26.116-45-12_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip) and I'm up-to-date and device is showing as certified (was showing as uncertified in the play store before). Hopefully that means I'll be able to receive OTAs again.

Latest news
February 27, 2019: Huawei Honor Play users in India have a new software update ready to download. The EMUI-based update has version 9.0.0.184 (C675E7R1P9) and besides installing February 2019 security patch, you also get support for ViLTE feature that lets you make video calls over LTE.
The OTA also fixes camera issues related to electronic image stabilization (EIS) and AI mode, fixes system ringtone bug, improves call quality, and optimizes call stability in certain scenarios.
Huawei can stay in China.... sux to be Honor.
It's getting real bad now. Still on November security patches and it's now march. This all on a phone which hasn't even been out a year yet. Honor need to get their game together, I was impressed by the spec and price but support has been atrocious.
