Database Develop

CyaogenMod Huawei P9 and P9+

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..

Huawei ALE L21 Update Android 7

Hy guys,
I'm new on this forum, and I'm French, so sorry for my English if is not very good. I have Huawei P8 lite ALE L21. So I installed Lineage OS 14.1 UNOFFICIAL on my Huawei. But i have some questions. This versions of LIneage OS is UNOFFICIAL, but the version of this Lineage OS can will be updated later for the new Android O or updated with new features?
And Can I install android 7 without custom rom just with update firmware?
And last questions, do you know custom rom 7.1.2 stable for Huawei ALE L21? And can will be updated?
I hope I have a answer soon, sorry for my English but I hope you'r undestanding what I'd said.
Thx a lot,
Bye ,
Polo

I have to disappoint you but there won't be probably further custom ROMs (especially Android O) . The devs are mainly focused at other devices.

And Can I install android 7 without custom rom just with update firmware?

P8 Lite will not be updated further, to EMUI 5.x+ (Nougat and beyond) afaik
do you know custom rom 7.1.2 stable for Huawei ALE L21?
Click to expand...

The LineageOS and ResurrectionRemix ROMs are similarly stable. The problem is that they don't get actively developed any more. Make sure to use the appropriate CPU fix. (UPDATE: INCLUDED IN NEW BUILD) I'd go with RROS because it has more customisation options and is designed to work with substratum.
That said:
* GPS doesn't work
* Video Recording only works on some apps, e.g. an app called Footej Camera will become your camera option
* I couldn't recieve calls, but that might have been only for me
* Use ForceDoze to save battery
And always make sure to look around in the thread, not just the main post. There are small and big fixes hidden in there sometimes
As for android O, OpenKirin repository has an android-O branch. We shall see if we get it.
UPDATE: RROS has been updated. Maybe there's still hope for this device.

How come the honor 8 has lots of AOSP based roms, and we don't

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.

Ah.. i didn't know that, i thought HUAWEI didn't release sources at all, thank you for the information

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'd be glad if we can get even just a custom kernel..But if we do get a custom rom, then all the more better!

AOSP based rom <3 <3 <3

what about K rom in honor 6x dose it compatible with our device ?
K-rom

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.

When source codes get released you can find them here: http://consumer.huawei.com/en/opensource/
When I search for PRA, which I think is your phone model, I can get sources. Seems like sources are available for your phone

Project Treble for XZ1 Compact

I was just surfing random android stuffs on internet and eventually found the "Project Treble"!!
https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble
After then I installed the app known as "Project Treble" in app store, this app tells you if your device is capable for this project or not. And good thing for us that XZ1 Compact is supported.
I have unlocked my bootloader, so there is no chance for getting any OTA updates.
Well, I was never worried about not getting OTA updates because XZ1 Compact is already a year old and sony will eventually stop rolling the updates after sometime, but unlike sony, Project Treble seems more promising for regular security updates and many more other things that sony will probability never provide.
As for example look at this thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...device-development/rom-aosp-extended-t3821934
Here you can see that they are providing kernel 4.9, while we, who are still on kernel 4.4 even after latest pie update.
And this also : https://www.xda-developers.com/google-test-android-q-project-treble-gsi/
Keeping all these apart, I just wanted to ask if any XZ1 Copmact user has tried this "Project Treble" or not??
And if yes then please share your reviews here.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

There's various posts about Project Treble in this device's forum. I'll leave the searching for you.

I didn´t try with the latest Pie firmware yet.
With Android 8.0 as base I was able to run almost every Treble-ROM based von Android 8.1, Android 9.0 bootloops. May be it is working together with the latest Pie rom as well.

Because project treble doesnt affect the stock rom functionality you must do the same as if you were on stock. Install drm fix and Magisk in twrp and permissive kernel patch via Magisk when in Android.
I suggest AOSP from the creator himself or resurrection Rom.
I have got no idea about Volte

No more OpenKirin builds for EMUI 8 devices?

I wait for sometime now (4 months) to see at least a beta stage rom for EMUI 8 - Based Builds from OpenKirin Project, the last build is the 5.2 alpha of the OMNI ROM.
Sadly, I see that all the attention is shifted to the EMUI 9 - Based Builds, no more updates for our beloved P9.
It will be a great deal to see Resurrection Remix OS 7.0.1 Beta 1 builded for EMUI 8 - Based Builds.
Could someone from the contributors, maybe @surdu_petru share some more info, is this project dead for EMUI 8, we will ever see some updates in the near future?
I know that is not indicated to ask for ETA, but it will be a great info so we know if we need to wait a little bit more time or move forward.
Thanks to all team members for the OpenKirin Project!

Yes this is true as they appear from almost a long time did not issue or update for emui 8 They may seem disappointed with us , According to openkirin Now they focus on emui 9 , Also at the same time they say there are releases or updates for emui 8 .

At least if they released their hi3650 patches we would be able to make our own GSIs...

Seems that we are one more time skipped...
OpenKirin Project released EMUI 9-based Build of OmniROM Beta 5 but no EMUI 8-based Build. 
 @OldDroid , @XePeleato , @surdu_petru , @irony_delerium can you please tell us if we will see any EMUI 8-based Builds or the project goes forward only with EMUI 9-based Build?

@Wattsensi Bro of which developer's lineage 16 are you using and do it require any patch to boot?

I see some launches on https://openkirin.net/download/ for the EMUI 9 devices AEX Beta 1 P1.
For the EMUI 8 devices nothing, no love at all?
I would love to see android 10 running on this device, it's the last in line Dual SIM Full Active, and this is what I love most on this device, also the smaller screen, I don't like the current sizes (way too big for my pockets).

I was using AndyYan LineageOS but install the one that appears here instead, it's much better despite having some issues with headphone jack sound not switching automatically. It has fully functional Camera, NFC, Bluetooth and mobile network. If you can use a manual sound switcher for now you can use it right now, just flash and go. One thing though, this ROM uses MicroG and Aurora Store instead of Gapps, if you don't mind about giving up gapps. Safetynet passing is not guaranteed. AOSP Camera works perfect.
I'm confident the issues above will be solved by the developer with enough time and people sending dmesg logs of their problems.

Nice! I'll still stay on the MicroG rom though, but it is indeed a better base than Omni even though it is less customizable.
