Huawei P8 Nougat Petition

Huawei Mobile*has released the Android 7 Nougat update for the P9, P9 Lite and Mate 8 devices. Why they haven't done the same for the P8, P8 Lite and Mate S, this*only leads to one conclusion:
Huawei*only cares about the factory line revenue generation of their P9, P9 Lite and newer devices! All you customers who purchased new P8, P8 Lite and Mate S*a few months back, you can be sure that Huawei*only wants you to buy a newer mobile phones and leave older devices even if they are still sufficient by hardware side.
The hardware requirements for Android Nougat are irrefutably the same as Android Marshmallow.* Where is 18 month software support?

If I remember correctly it isn't really Huawei's fault. Google doesn't support the version for P8 because of security issues.
Anyway I wouldn't really looking for the Android 7.0, most of the UI is available in Launchers like Nova and other pars of it doesn't really make much of a difference.

EMUI 5 uses new filesystem format which makes phone faster and makes the phone fast even after a long time of usage becauses it doesnt fragment data, i think it could be noticable in midend phone like P8, shame we wont have it...

i dont know M8 but what i can say is huawei itself comfirmed that model P8 wont get further versions of android except those with security patch, Have HTC ever said that they will never get nougat? i think that even if huawei could bring it to us later, they just wont anymore, they released TOO many new devices since then, if they had to maintain all of them they would get crazy and no profit from that what so ever, if there is any hope is very, very small, and i dont have any anymore

I don't have a P8 but I remember always wanting one due to the awesome design. If developers can port Nougat to My Galaxy S4 then I really don't see why Hauwei can't make an official release for the p8. With 2 year software updates the norm I find this extremely unacceptable. The vulkan requirement is false, for I can run nougat on a S4 (custom ROM) and have no graphical issues at all. Good luck with your petition.

nope, you ain't seeing nougat on p8. we chinese users have been asking huawei since the release of emui 5, and all the answer from them is "no major functional upgrades, but security patches will continue". so stop hoping for official emui 5, and cross your fingers for third-party flavors like lineage. btw based on the status of the cm13 and lineage13 here, lineageos suooprt seems promising.

When Huawei Released Huawei P8 (GRA-xxxx) Other Factories were Released Other Flaghships !
For Example Meizu MX4 Pro ! (GPU is Same as Huawei P8 can Check Every Agreed Websites : ALT_ : https://www.gsmarena.com/meizu_mx4_pro-6815.php)

it's Jokes to Huawei Release Any Upper Version of EMUI (For Example EMUI 8.0)
Now I'm So Sad !
But now , If you want any New Rom any New Support , You should be a MIUI Member and Leave EMUI Alone !
EMUI Never Support US To Last Day Of The World.

Hello @NAViDArt
I think it's a pretty good idea to port MIUI to Huawei p8. It should be possible.
There's already a port for P7 and P9.
I think Miui 8 should be good.
So I think this can be done
We can stay connected, I will add you on Telegram.
My only thing is, that I can start this work with begin on January.
Until the end of the year 2017 I have a lot of things to do.
First my regular job and I planed to make two new Roms similar than MagicArrow for P8 and P9 before Christmas.
But next year I can help you to do porting MIUI.

Custom ROM/Developer?

Hi guys! Just want to ask regarding custom ROM developer for our device as I noticed that there is only one developer that is working as of now. And based on his thread his not willing to work with anyone.
My question is any chance that there for other developer to work on our device? Coming from my previous device(mia1) lineage is well supported, little bit worried plus this is also my first time using miui and I'm not impressed. But hardware is top notch plus no moving parts ,this is a good device.
This question is just query without any demand to anyone. Thank you.

I'm using Pixel Experience GSI bro, and straight up not having a good time, but still better than miui (it's my personal taste). At this point, consider how this device had been out, i dont think we see any official roms any time soon

Unfortunately, the smartphone doesn't get the attention it deserves. But hope dies last.

Yes you're right. I think mi 9 lite is superior than mi 9 se(small battery) and mi9t(moving front camera. Only downside is the processor,but you will not notice the difference in day to day task. Hopefully some devs will notice our device as this one should be the mia3. If @Flex can help us,that will be great. No 1 contributor to mia1.

I'm also working on a rom for the device. There sure is a steep learning curve. At the moment, building roms that are based on Android 10 are quite a pain due to the fact that Xiaomi has not released the Android Q kernel source for pyxis. They're still on Pie.

Question Any development going on?

Hey fellows,
as I'm considering to buy a Redmi Note 10s, is there any custom rom/twrp/other available for this device?
I sadly could not find any useful information.
Regards

me too, still waiting something from 10s... sadly no development going

This just happens way too often for me in particular i pickup a phone that is from the redmi note series which falls in between the pro and redmi range which then gets overshadowed by pro model with more people developing for the pro and pro max variants

I would also like to know if there is anything going on wrt custom roms for this device. I am looking to buy this device if there will be custom rom support eventually.

That is true. But recently in amazon India's annual sale, note 10s was available for as low as INR12500 (~$168) after all the discounts for the base 6GB/64GB variant which makes it one of best (specs wise) in this price range. Hence the hope that with so many buyers, some development progress, we would be able to see.
Another problem now-a-days with Mi (and even other brands) phones in India is that they deviously increase the prices post ~2 weeks of launch by minimum INR500 or more (which can be make or break for budget cautious buyers like me). Hence waiting for a custom roms might ironically mean paying more for the device later.

My RN10s came with both, Amazon and Netflix, and if its not, you can install both apps from play store.

If there is anyway that we can setup a pool/account to pay to the developer(s), I am happy to contribute my bit. If this is ok, experts/pros please advise.
Really looking for some help with custom rom for this otherwise awesome device. Just need to get rid of stock rom.

I think your question was already answered. In addition, If you were looking for widevine certification for consuming fhd content - yes note 10s is widevine l1 certified, so all good.
However, all that is secondary, this thread is primarily for discussion on custom rom development.

Same question here. Who does those ROMs? Are they for hire? What's missing? Is there a public repo with work in progress almost working ROMs? How does that usually go? Or do devs drop binaries out of nowhere? I assume it has to be rather transparent for security reasons already.
I would also be willing to chip in.

And if I did the mistake of buying this phone and would rather pay for a public good than for a second phone? I'd happily pay $300 for this rom but have no idea if it's rather $30k away from being available or if somebody has it done already and just was too lazy to upload.

Sometimes buying the phone is based more on it being a 'value for money' proposition. 'Less Money spent' ranks higher than the 'processor brand' for a similar spec processor (in this case better processor at almost similar price ~INR13k/~$170 USD, when compared to note 10 or realme 8-which is useless because of no root possible ever) with a hope that with the device being cheap, a lot of developers will get interested.
It might not be the case with everyone, but i believe, will apply to most of the people out there who want to change devices constantly for cheap.

Hi, currently i am working on it. It booted however there is a problem, data stays encrypted. Even after format data it still doesn't work. This is because this device uses keymaster 4.1. As i know there is currently no other fix (well i saw something on twrp's gerrit but i am not sure it will work) so you probably should wait a bit more.

Ok we will wait

Teamwin release TWRP to 3.5.2, and it's now compatible with Android 11

Question LineageOS on Chinese model with color OS

Hello all,
I plan to buy the 10 Pro with colorOS .
I found this how to:
How to Install LineageOS ROM on OnePlus 10 Pro
In this comprehensive tutorial, we will show you the detailed steps to install the LineageOS ROM onto your OnePlus 10 Pro device.
www.droidwin.com
My question(s) are:
1. Is this work also with the coloros version?
2. The official site of lineageos do current not support this device. For get updates, is it better to wait? Or can this version fetching updates if coming?
Thank you for help

As there is no recovery tool. I recommend to stay on color os or oxygen os...
Remember there is a lot of bricked devices just waiting for a msm tool to work.

Thank you .. This I need.
I wait. Its better

That's just a GSI, it's quite simple to install but you'll be missing a bunch of features.
It's extremely simple to install, use the guide here on XDA to do so.
Recovery still works and fastboot enhances does too.
Unless you're a fool you won't brick your device.
I've installed every available GSI and they all have issues, you can use them for the most part but the issues will remain and alas will never be fixed.
Your plan to buy any OnePlus device is a flawed one. It's not a great device, only a device with great potential, potential that's never going to be realised.

Does anyone have any idea when lineageos will be officially available for the 10 Pro?

There are no plans..
The issue is that sources from OnePlus have not been fully released iirc.
Furthermore there is no tool to recover a bricked device so if something goes wrong during testing then we're stuck in limbo.
This leaves us in a situation where we have a very capable device totally blocked by the totally greedy mungbeans that are Oppo / OnePlus.
My advice, if you've just bought your device then return it, if it's still quite new but you can't return it then sell it and get any of the pixel devices..
The current situation will not change and if it does it'll be a challenge from start to finish for the poor hapless soul who dares to start flashing their deuce with a custom ROM.
It could prove very expensive at worse or hit and miss at best, both extremely time extensive and worrying at the same time.
Wish I had better news mate, it's a sad time.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. Yes, I understand all that. Fortunately I inform myself before I buy a device ... I don't have it yet and probably won't buy it.
My 7 Pro is getting on in years. It still works perfectly... But I still have Android 10 (lineageos) on it.
lineage_guacamole-userdebug 10 QQ3A.200805.001 286f3fd16d
I haven't been getting updates for a long time. All the important accesses (bank etc) are on the device. I can't afford a dist upgrade failure.
I think I will buy a 9 Pro. I like oneplus. I am very happy with it.

9 pro is a shout.. definitely have a look at the pixel 7..
7 pro was a great phone, I miss my 8 pro, it just worked and had that crazy photocrom camera...
Motorola edge ultra or the next nothing phone could both be a fair punt as well.

Oh, I am not a native English speaker. "9 pro is a shout"?? In my language, that can mean that the 9 Pro is great or that it sucks. Lol. What do you mean is a shout
Thanx
