There is a porting guide for CyanogenMod on their wiki here. I would do it but without the phone, I can't and with the release of the Sony Xperia Z5 Compact, I'm not going to get the P8lite now
Trying to compile
I'm trying to compile the kernel source for the ALE-L21 and i'm getting the following error:
Code:
/home/wjclub-dev/android/ndk/toolchains/aarch64-linux-android-4.9/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin/aarch64-linux-android-ld: no input files
make[1]: *** [init/mounts.o] Error 1
make: *** [init] Error 2
This happens with various files which I also can't find in the file system. Neither in compiled nor in the raw code. Hence I'm using the official MAKEFILE with the official Kernel Source and the official NDK I'm stranded for now.
I googled it but there is no answer. Maybe some of you can help me...
There were a lot of faults in the source from Huawei.
You could not build it without major changes.
I was able to build it with a lot of effort:

Hi guys
Anyone know if mate S supported from Huawei to get emotion UI 5.0
Hi, I am very unsure they will give us emui 5, but I still have hope because this device is still available for purchase.

Well. Since the honor saga from Huawei, received even up to 3 Android updates (honor 6 came with 4.4, now it has 6.0) I think is perfectly possible to get EMUI 5 with nougat.
The question is when? Well, of course after the release of mate 9,they'll update the Mate 8 probably, at the same time, the honor 8,one that has available a beta program to try emui 5. So, After those devices, the turn will come to honor 7 and probably, our Mate S.
i dont think that mate s will get nougat.
due to feature requisition.
Vulkan API (a must for android7) needs OpenGL 4.x and OpenGL ES 3.1. the chipset of mate s is not compatible.
i hope for emui 5 without nougat
But that doesn't make sense at all since the Nexus 6P also lacks of 4.X(it uses 3.1) and it's running nougat.
Hope same happens here>~<
Good news people:laugh:
:good:
nice news......but did you check the release date?....Vulkan issue poped-up in early September and I would expect this article has been issued earlier, as the 2 years update guarantee has been communicated earlier this year.
unfortunately!!

In my view these are all speculations. We all knew from the beginning that mate 8 and P9 will take nougat. What was was not known was the date. I am not claiming that mate S will take nougat, but that announcement does not mean that it won't.
My main concern is that it has been a long time since the last update for mate S. Not even a security update. On the contrary, P8 gets updates. Also, Huawei has not released any new model for the S series. These are the bad signals for me that we probably won't take Nougat, not the announcements that mate 8 and P9 will get Nougat. But let's wait for a official announcement for huawei because it would be striking for huawei to give nougat only in two models.

Huawei Mate S 6.0 update with EMUI 5.0
So they are beta testing this device for 2017 N update with EMUI 5.0 .
There is a hope. I bought this device like month ago.
What do you mean? @mustafaevery1?
Dear Customer,
Thank you or contacting the Huawei Customer Care Team.
Regarding your query, unfortunately the Mate S has not been announced to receive the update to Nougat and EMUI 5.0 at the moment, but after the Beta tests will be over and the update will be sent to the scheduled devices, if the customer feedback is positive and the device features will support the update after future tests, we will send the update to the Mate S too and other devices.
If you have any further questions please feel free to contact us.
I hope this proves to be useful and I wish you a great day!
Best regards,
Andra

What you did is great
I'll send email like yours to Huawei
and really I'll never buy Huawei again if they don't support the only just one year devices
As you see this phone will be released soon with Android 5.0 3GB RAM FINGERPRINT SESNSOR.
I wonder shall we get Android N too?
http://www.androidauthority.com/?p=742881
Huawei has announced the P8 Lite (2017) smartphone, featuring a 5.2-inch FHD display, the Kirin 655 chipset, 3 GB of RAM, and a 12 MP camera.

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

lol wut, chipset on new device is different, old P8 lite will not get new Android officially, stupid post, close it pls
Smells like Samsung. Everyone want Android KitKat on Samsung S3 but Samsuns makes a new one (The S3 Neo), lol
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
Hi,
I have a VKY-L29 and it's not recieved any software updates since 2019 (the may 2020 update didn't apply for the DualSIM model obviously).
I've been diggin' around to find if there is a lineageOS ROM for the P10 series, but obviously there is no upgrade path yet. Does anybody know why and whether I overlooked something?
No never . Why? you never can Unlock Bootloader on Huawei Devices. You never can get Kernel Sources for writing Customroms. ok Since P10 Plus or 2018 is finish ever for Custom Roms and Kernels for Huwei Phones.
