Are there any modders out there already working on a Android M for the IDOL 3 or at least interested in making one?
did you give them mm source for idol 3?
the devs that work on our idol 3 would love to work on MM and have tried to port with little success from what i gather. Once we get a proper "official" MM update for our idol 3 then watch as the new MM roms pour in. Until there is something official dont expect anything higher than Android 5.1.1

Hey guys
My friend just bought a new Huawei Mate 7 Gold yesterday and I checked the Android version and it says 4.4.2 Kit-Kat. He'd like to update it to Lollipop and since I have been doing such things for years on Samsung and HTC devices I thought I should help him out by checking the forum first. I found a helpful article about updating it to Lollipop OTA, however it is in German and the translation is terrible, so can anyone point me in the right direction?
As I said, the device is brand new and still has 4.4.2 unmodified Kit-Kat on it.
This is the article I am talking about: http://www.huaweiblog.de/huawei/huawei-mate-7-lollipop-update-download/
Thanks guys!
There's a thread dedicated to this in the general section
Thanks for you reply and for pointing me out to the right thread. From what I've read, it seems as though the Lollipop update is quite unstable nowadays and I should hold off till it's official, correct? I don't want my friend to go through a hassle because of it since he is not very tech-savvy.

I have installed lollipop 5.1.1 beta and its quite good but there's still many bugs. Maybe it is better to wait the official release.
I agree. If your friend is not tech savvy, hold first and wait for official release
It's usable as a daily driver, but no, not as stable as 4.4.2.
Generic overview:
-random reboots, not extremely frequent but they happen.
-some memory issues compared to 4.4.2
-a bit less battery
-some options not present
Hi, someone knows when will be release the official version of lollipop? No betas

Nope, and tbh i'm not extremely eager to run lollipop on most phones right now... Google screwed up pretty bad on this major version.

I second that. While material design is nice to look at, the memory leak and battery drain are causing issues in some lollipop phones
hi,I tried alot roms but can not install them,device is mate 7 2gb ,MT7-L09 and rom is B137SP11,I think this rom is developed from any rom,by the way official huawei site in which rom avaible this one did not install too.I have another problem when I use ussd codes not change tr expression in area codes,may be it will occur from tr expression,I buy it from TURKEY I think it will not give permission to set new rom on it?thanks

So last week I finally ordered the mate 7 and right after I did it they announced the official Lollipop update (yay).
But after seeing so many unhappy users here I decided to wait for either official updates (which won't happen that fast I guess),
or I'll wait for custom Android L roms stock roms, since the fingerprint sensor only works there.
Does anyone know whether there is already someone on it, because I haven't seen a single rom announcement here on xda..
I did some research and found kangvips chinese 5.1. 1 rom on the huawei forums, and I've already seen a international kangvip rom here.
Does that mean that someone's translating/porting it for us soon or how does it work?
Link to Kangvips or HRT-Teams rom
I recently watched a video on youtube that someone preinstalled the marshmallow samsung ota update on the note 5 and made a zip file for others to flash that. I cannot forward the link cause i am a new user, however, u can find it on Naldotech the thread by Ronaldo with this name:
install-marshmallow-firmware-on-samsung-galaxy-note-5-odin-tar-md5
Since we have roms like sixperience note 5 on N910c which applies the whole note 5 system on note 4, i wonder if it is possible to have this rom ported.
tell me if it is possible.
Tnx.

Someone could port it but it would take a while and it would be less work to use the official release. You probably need to wait a few months after the official release.

Thanks. I am eager to c marshmallow on my device.
So been seeing on a few sites, that believe the Idol 3 will get a Nougat upgrade. I'm not holding my breath, It took them abit to get MM out, which I love. So what do you guys think?? Will Alcatel give the Idol 3 another upgrade, or is MM the end of the line for us??
i think ALCATEL will not update the idol 3 to Nougat...but We will get CM 14 soon....

Alcatel hardly updates their phones (even the flagships).
So, NO, THERE IS NO NOUGAT UPDATE FOR YOUR PIXI 4.

Thanks for your answer, so Alcatel never Even updates their phones to receive patches such as the bluebourne exploit that was discovered a few weeks ago, even LG updates their own phones even the K8 gets the patch and that phone never receives updates

If you seriously care about updates, you should get a Nexus, Pixel, Sony or Motorola!
