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..

Is there any future of ROM development for Redmi 4X(santoni) ?

Searching the whole Redmi 4x a.k.a Redmi 4(India) thread on XDA I came up to know that xiaomi has not released kernel sources yet. I was looking forward to buy this device but looking at the lazy response from manufacturer I doubt the development and getting it. Share your thoughts and suggestion down below. Should I get this device or get Lenovo zuk Z2 plus which is available around the same price ?

I'm waiting for a deal to get one for my mom. I'm happy so far with my Note 4X (SD 625) which I'm running with Resurrection Remix, so I think a slighty downsized and down-specced version would be great for her. If there is no custom firmware in the near future, she'll be fine. I wouldn't wanna miss LOS or RR on my phone, but MIUI isn't bad for lots of people.

There are already a few custom ROMs for RM4X like yurekaOS based on nougat 7.1.2 and as i read in forums it seems to be running ok for the most users.
Still i wouldn't expect too much in custom development. see RM3S for example. there are ROMs available but development goes slow
So if you are no friend of MIUI (and upcoming MIUI 9) and want lot of custom development then you might consider buying another phone.

Hi,
any plans for CM 13.1 or Lineage equivalent for Redmi Note 4X Qualcomm not built on nougat?
Need Android 6 as 7+ doesn't allow for USB bus speed auto-negotiation, which is "kinda" big deal in my application.
Thanks for input

Treble based latest Oxygen OS port for OnePlus 3/3T?

Redmi note 4 and 5 series got a port of Oxygen OS based on treble from OnePlus 5/5T and it works great...
Any chance we get similar ports which could ensure latest firmware ports for our devices too?
If any developer can please look into it... our devices might be able to sustain longer with the latest snappy and better than stock android Oxygen OS!
Thanks in advance. Cheers?

OnePlus announced a while ago that our device should get Android P while skipping Android 8.1, maybe bringing with it a Treble-ized OxygenOS, but since, no news.

I m not talking about the official support cus it seems that it will take a lot of time as it is taking time for even 5/5T.
I m talking about the community ports like how the OnePlus 6 got the 6T stock ROM ported.

i believe its the only device that hasnt got ports of successor (5,5t or 6, 6t) Wonder when they are coming.

i always wondered like there were samsung ports why not latest oxygen ports for older devices and today I see a youtube video for oxygen os on the oye 5 pro with 4500 downloads
come on oneplus 3 community we can port latest oxygen os

i hope that after OnePlus provides treble support, the devs too try to port latest Oxygen OS for our devices.
Fingers crossed?

Let's ask our developers to give it a try. I m sure there might be something they could do... i ll be ready to opt in for testing alpha beta phases.

However, there is Freedom OS that tries to mimic (not sure if that is ported) Oxygen OS but that is still stuck on 8.0 Nougat.

It is based on official OxygenOS, it's not ported

I just checked, even the Poco F1 got the GSI port of Oxygen OS... ??*

Huawei finally releases kernel source codes

Huawei releases kernel source code for Kirin 980 and Kirin 970 devices on Android Pie
https://www.xda-developers.com/huawei-kernel-source-code-kirin-980-kirin-970-android-pie/
This is such great news for custom ROMs, custom kernels and official twrp etc.
Now that our devices are having the ability to unlock the bootloader, I believe with the release of source codes custom development shouldn't be to far away.
It's exciting times for our devices. :good:

Hopefully we might see a treble lineage for our phones ?

Does this mean we could get a G-Cam port? Or is that a completely different kettle of fish ?

Will nubia give android 10 update to z20?

I'm interested to buy z20 but I have never owned a nubia (or zte) phone so I wanted to ask:
1. Historically speaking, does nubia give android version upgrades to their z series phones? Like their most recent z17 and z18?
2. Did they announce / guarantee that android 10 will come to z20?
I want the stock dark mode feature in android 10 so I'm asking if it will come to z20

???

As a Chinese and who used Nubia X before, I can tell you NOT RECENTLY.
Nubia is a company that it doesn't like to update system regularly for their products even they know the users are not satisfied with that.
I think it may get a android 10 update next year (before the next generation of Z series), but don't expect too much. You'll get used to the Nubia.

Thank you for response. I do expect them more or less to not give updates because they aren't as known or big a brand as huawei/xiaomi and even popular oppo/vivo is very sketchy in giving updates.
Did they give android version upgrades to z17 and z18 series? I mean from nubia, not custom roms.
I have seen custom roms for z17 series phones. Will z20 get custom roms in future? I only need the basic stuff as long as the multi-tasking of both screens is still available. I have apps that can do the game space stuff.

The z17 and z18 just updated the UI, but the android version is still the old. I think next year z20 will got an official android 10 update, but not very recently (second half year? maybe)
For the custom roms, in the future, I don't think there would be too many, since the phone is not very popular even in China.
The Nubia X now only have Mokee (official) and MIUI (unofficial).
Ok, that's all, hope my reply can help you. Thanks.

Custom roms are only possible if the company releases the phone source code or whatever it's called? Has nubia released it for z20?
I thought nubia x had an official pie beta?

this appears to be the set of blobs for the NX627J
https://github.com/AndroidBlobs/vendor_nubia_NX627J

Guys the device hasnt update since end of October.is that normal?other Nubias has....

I have a Nubia z11
The phone was released in 2016 . as for system update
The EU ROM was updated till android 7.1 from android 6. And cn version gets update on android 6 last sept we got new release . the cn version also has android 7 but development was stopped. As for custom ROMs
My z11 is on havoc 3.3 android 10 with gcam.
All I can say is if you have a developer to support the device for at least a few years its more than enough.
