So I am looking to get a honor 8, but there is one thing that I am not so sure about, EMUI. So first of all, what are your thoughts on it, is it just a re skin of stock android or are there limitations/advantages. I am coming from IOS, and like the look of it, which i know emui is somewhat similar looking. Can I remove EMUI and go with a more stock version of android? If not what are some things I should do to get around the limitations of it? Also, can update to Nougat? Thanks!
There are more number of inbuilt features in EMUI than stock ROM. Some of the apps are inbuilt with the it. Stock ROM doesn't have every utility app that needs in day to day life like file manager, call recorder. We can download the app in play store in it. EMUI has these apps built with itself. So no need to download external app.
Limitations for EMUI is the RAM management. Im not sure about Honor 8, but RAM management is major issue in EMUI in all other models. It might be fixed soon with the upcoming updates also.
Regarding the update, you will get update till Android O for sure. But the time taken to get the update will be more than that of stock android devices. So don't worry about updates if you have the patience for it.
As of now you can't remove EMUI , as custom ROM is not available.
As of now you can't remove EMUI from Honor 8.

No other custom ROM available yet, the answer is NO for now...
But u can change Launcher if u dont like EMUI style.

Removal of the current EMUI will void the warranty. Please be aware of this and makes changes to your device at your own digression. (NS)
Alright thanks everyone for your reply, ill just probably customize the ui with different launcher and stuff and I should be fine with it.

It's really not bad. Add pixel launcher and theme by venom007 and you'll be good to go. I've been happy with it as an Android purist waiting for the pixel phone launch.
No custom ROM yet, so no
nop, not a single custom rom is available at the movement

From what I am reading on this forum, it does not seem so.
There is a thread mentioning that many developers already tried and left their projects because of the difficulties.
One can always hope but am skeptical myself.

We will still get many modded custom Roms but as for custom Roms like CyanogenMod etc, it appears that it's a monumental task because of honor 8 being a Kirin device.
I don't understand the actual nuances, just stating what I usually read.

I forked the P9 lite repo for CM13.
The P9 development is still stuck on the telephony interface, but at least it's a start.

Thanks a lot... You should make a new thread in honor 8 Android development stating this so that more people can join in.
As for me, I am just the guy who knows how to troubleshoot installation and soft-brick problems (and even that at a rudimentary level)

I'm looking for a new oneplus one that I could purchase. I am on a tight budget and thought this phone would be the best to buy. Is there anyone willing to sell a new one or maybe could provide me a link to buy a new one? I would really appreciate your help.

I increased my budget a bit and got the redmi note 4 (3gig version). The development isnt that bad. I mean, theres cm13 thats stable which is perfect since theres no Xposed for nougat roms. Thanks for your help though

Better to wait for ROM which is compitable with your device .. if you want to dare ask OP
magic of Huawei..
take a previous phone, change bodies, crank up few elements, and boom, a new phone.. lol

No, because i didn't compared 6X with other devices. But in my honest experience, the only lag i encounter is on opening EMUI camera app. How do you matched the phones?

Camera lag is since emui 5 and have been reported to R&D team in meet up.
Huawei was not aware of it. It was fine in emui 4

I was earlier using mi max which had snapdragon 650 and my mi max 2 had sd 625 and in my experience both sd soch are better than honor 6x kirin in terms of performance however kirin is better in heat management and battery life.
True.... Unusable lags sometimes
I think this is because of emui
Have you ever used flyme os or miui?
If yes then compare emui with those devices having similar specs
They performs better
