so when, what is the date? xx.xx.2015 or 2016 or?
Questions like this should be asked in GENERAL or Q & A thread..........not on development

Even i can post that LOLLIPOP wil arrive later this month for Honor 6,dont believe in anything,they are just fake......we have got so much messages like this,even if the lOLLIPOP releases it will be first only available to china models & we(H60-L04) will be left over.....So probably its better not to grow thoughts.......

That's why i bought the best of the Honor's series : H60-L12.
It's Unicom = more updates
It's 32GB = more internal storage
It's dual sim = very very nice feature
It has NFC
And i never had any lag any problem any strange reebot yet (i bought it in 25 november!!)
So, i think i will see LOLLIPOP first, like H60-L02

Yes you can but I guess that you are not Huawei's employee. That Finnsih website got their source from Huawei itself. Another Finnish website has reported the same also.
In English (my own translation):
According to the information which TaskuMuro got from Huawei says that company's top devices will get their Android 5.0 Lollipop updates in Finland at Q2 of next year (meaning 2015). The update comes atleast for Honor 6, Ascend P7 and Mate 7 models.
huawai is under pressure.. if they dont upgrade to Android 5.0 .. lots of people wont buy any honor phones again..
I think this thread needs to be closed because we already have another thread asking for the same thing and nobody has an answer because Huawei hasn't released any dates yet.

Guys. I have contacted them and per their response, they are planning to release a beta version this week or may 1st week. Send your IMEI of Honor 6 and your contact number to their Facebook Page (Huawei India) to get the link. This is for India only.

Never trust honor facebook account... it's managed by non technical people and all honor development is done in China. I suggest also to do not send your imei to anyone ...it's unsafe! Lollipop for honor 6 will be in beta in june... That what is written on the Chinese emui page which is the only real source for honor technical information.

Does anyone have a list of XDA developers participating in the Honor/XDA partnership? I would love to know that the project has been taken up. It's a huge deal to see another OEM have development.
I don't think there is any yet.
There is a slow way to do this:
1. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/Honor , this link will display all Honor devices fourms
2. Check one by one in ROM section to find out...
But this will not include those without a dedicated forum, like Honor 4x.

Honor 8 is a decent phone, actually all HUAWEI 2015 and later phones are good ones. But the only issue now with HUAWEI is its own Kirin processer which has no open source/proper documentation. This closes doors to most developers and cut users from future upgrades if HUAWEI ceases to provde system update.

The new Honor + XDA partnership is exactly to address that limitation that other brands have - So developers can have full support to create ROMs

Can't wait
Yes, the first ROM I wanna see is CM 13.0
And if Nougat rolls out then CM 14
Since Honor 6 and 6 plus are running on Kirin 920, 925 which doesn't support Vulcan API, it seems that it can't be updated to Nougat.
Will Honor provide it by any alternate means, if any?
Got it from Wiki that Kirin 920 and 925 won't support Vulcan API. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulkan_(API)
most probably it wont get as the gpu fails to be compatible with vulkan
I don't think so
Personally,I think google must remove vulcan api as requirement for update.Its like:
''Your phone has the power to handle the next at least 3 android versions,but since your gpu doesnt support vulcan api,which practically has nothing to do with running the os,fock off.''
I also think that 2 versions forward update thing should be broken,I mean we have ultra fast device with 3gb ram,it just doesnt make sense to get stuck on marshmallow,when some phones which are much weaker than our will get nougat.I even got the phone in the end of july...
Meanwhile apple bricking iphone 5 with ios 10.

I agree with you, because of this many great smartphones (like GS5, 1+1 G3...etc) won't get official update

It can be optional but not compulsary.
In Honor series of smartphone this affects Honor 6, 6 plus and 7.

Yes indeed.The 2014 generation flagships finished the progress that the 2013 ones started,what I mean is that they are still running on almost full speed as on their launch,older flagships(galaxy s3 is a perfect example) started to get pretty laggy at some point.If vulcan api is the thing that stopped the breaking of the 2 versions forward update scheme,I hope that at least the 2015 gen ones will do it when android 8 comes out.

most phones should get android 7 as their gpu's have vulkan support, bt its still upto eoms, weather to update or not, even vulkan api supported phones may still be betrayed
Google is the only one to blame here

We can't do anything for betrayal by OEM.. But in this case, OEM do think to provide updates. Due to google restriction, they were unable to.

Cant huawei just release updated drivers and source so devs would be able to build 7.0 themselves?It seems more realistic than a whole new official update.

As of now, Huawei has not released most of the sources. So I doubt that this will happen.

It didn't even release the basics to building custom ROMs. I doubt they'll do ot now
They already distributed source code some time ago. But no Vulkan support, no Nougat update.
So, Android Pie 9.0 is released today, and the update will be available today for Google phones as well as essential phone.
Anyone who has used Vivo phones in past has any idea how much time does Vivo take to release the new version to their devices? Eagerly waiting to taste a new Android and hoping that Vivo cuts down the Extravagant iOS-ish UI and goes for much cleaner, stock UI.
Could take 3-4months at the minimum .
Starting today, an over-the-air update to Android 9 will begin rolling out to Pixel phones. And devices that participated in the Beta program from Sony Mobile, Xiaomi, HMD Global, Oppo, Vivo, OnePlus and Essential, as well as all qualifying Android One devices, will receive this update by the end of this fall.

Great to know! Hope they release an update to Nex soon and demonstrate their dedication to international audience.
Anyway, android p or not, we won't see the difference with "Fun"touch OS
I wish there was a way to load Stock Android on this thing.

Only if vivo give us appropriate source codes. Or all specific peripherals, especially pop-up camera and fingerprint will be not working. The problem is not with loading itself, OEM drivers are needed to compile stock android for using with this device.
Vivo is working on Android 9 for their best phones , i found this picture at official vivo china forum. hope ANDROID 9 come in this year for nex s. they have internal test now

Sometime in November for Android P ?
looking forward to this update...
Yup, me too. But we won't see much UI difference since it't Funtouch OS.
I wouldn’t expect it earlier than end of December for Nex S.

No unfortunately we won’t.
Funtouch OS will remain with the same restrictions as before and iOS style UI.
Only hope to see improvement with some key elements feature like unlimited third party app notifications support to AOD.
Current status really sucks.

Don't notice much difference tbh. I did notice in the settings menu the option to change the default installation location it may have been in there all along but I hadn't seen it before. I'd been having problems trying to open documents from remote locations with es file explorer when the sd card was the default location but since I changed it to internal memory everything works as it should.
Anyone got it on c440? Which is the Lte model, still on nov patches and no updates whatsoever
Got mine. March 2019 security patch included
Still no sign as yet for my ex EE WiFi and LTE CMR-AL09, unrooted, plain vanilla. I've been spoiled by my Essential PH-1 phone that gets just about the fastest Android updates out there.
I`m on 10.8 model, got it about 4 days ago.
I got m5 lte 10.8 and I still on emui 8.0 with Feb patch. It's normal?
Just brought 8.4 M5 WiFi and happily updated through 8.0 to 9.0.1 pie with march security straight away.
Just had April security patch update on my UK MediaPad M5
https://cdn1.imggmi.com/uploads/2019/5/1/51f18bf8334d83035f1269934323c0e9-full.jpg
Got my 8.4 mediapad today (wifi only) and it just upadated via OTA to Android 9 (EMUI 9.0.1). Security patch March first.
Compilation number 9.0.1.160
No sign update for LTE users
Just wonder any one had update or heard official news on LTE variant getting EMUI 9.0 my pad is on EE and check daily and still no updates , I know network level devices have to be signed off network related software wise ..... But it's been long enough
Just got 9.0.1.182 with April security patch on my 8.4.

ouch... thats harsh, i would have at least expected one more year of security updates only, without major android updates. harsh especially since EMUI 11 isnt even out of Beta status yet...
edit: hold on a sec, we're still gonna get updates, just not regular ones anymore!
quote - "If the Mate 10 series is any indication, this doesn't mean that Huawei will stop sending updates to the phones entirely. They'll likely still receive patches; regularly for some time, then slowly afterwards—over the course of this year, at least."
ok, this i can live with, way more smooth than just going cold turkey

Ahh right. I didn't know that.
I'm still on EMUI 10.
So do we think the Mate 20 X will ever get anymore updates after the EMUI 11 update?
Major updates no. So no EMUI 12 or whatever it will be called.
However, Security updates will still come most likely.
Man don't u read news ??? 50 series , 40 series 30 series and 20 series gonna have Harmony OS ...
Why u even missing some ''fake'' security updates'' ??? they don't do anything just overwrites the date that they will keep you happy ... don't be pathetic

im skeptical to switch over from an largely open source (AOSP Android) to a completely proprietary OS fully designed by Huawei... not seeing any benefits, but i agree insofar that having more choices is usually better
