Pure android 6.0 without EMUI 4.0 - Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guru's.
Right now im on Marschmallow ROM (B513) on my mate 7. But new EMUI 4.0 is a bit dissapointing for me. So I was wondering If I remove it thought TWRP and remain on pure android 6.0. What all function will I loose, will be my phone fully working? Im sorry if there is already some info about it, but I didnt find it. Maybe can someone tell me the main advantages of EMUI?

There is no "Pure android" for Mate7. It just doesn't exist.

For pure Android you must change to Nexus...

EMUI is the system UI for the Mate 7. You can't just remove it. All you can do is strip a few Huawei things from it and run a different launcher, which makes it a much nicer phone to use anyway.
Here's some Huawei propaganda about EMUI 3

I dont think you will get a stock android for OPO. You can browse thru various ROM's and get which is nearly equal to Stock but not 100% stock.

Stock 5.1 is not relased for yet the OPO. If you mean AOSP (Vanilla - Nexus series) android, there are some in the development section.

Yeah I meant vanilla Android. Was hoping one could download n5 or n6 rom and just install it. but seems it doesn't work this way.

Yes. Please dont do that.
Flashing ROM designed for other devices can leave your phone bricked.
This phone is built for cyanogen or Oxygen which is One Plus own software. The other you are asking about are for factory phones that use Android. The only phone true android is by Google.

Anyone?
its ported to the nexus 4 so it is possible even though it is based off kitkat, coloros 2.1 is 5.01 from what i gathered.
i doubt it will get much support with android m coming out,many will be looking forward to leaving lollipop

Custom ROM for W10 mobile

Possibly a stupid question. By possibly I mean probably.
Ascend Mate 7. Or any similar android device. Would it be possible to flash it with a version of W10 Mobile? I realize the bootloader probably is the limiting factor, but as a "hardcore" Windows Phone guy, I have to ask, as I love the specs of the Ascend Mates.
Thanks.
Dave
P.S.. I HAVE been searching for this for a while & Microsoft HAS done this via a custom ROM ... see Xiaomi Mi4.
And before all you haters hate, here's some bait:
Windows Phones are Better.
If it was possible we would have more than just an an old kitkat Cyanogenmod and a Kangvip rom..

Miui 8 on Mi 4C

Hi guys!
I installed yesterday Miui 8 alpha from here: http://en.miui.com/thread-295006-1-1.html
ATTENTION!
This will be locked your bootloader!
I tried the recovery image, but it didnt work. I flashed first stable miui 7 from eu.miui than got I drecly a system update to Miui 8.
Unfortunately it's still based on android 5.1.1.
Here are screenshots.
How is Battery life... SOT? Thank you!
I dont know. I didnt so much used. Now Im back to sMiui. But I think its not beter than sMiui.
I use xiaomi.eu version which doesn't lock bootloader. Everything works well...somewhat. Back camera got downgraded features (only 720p max?), front camera can still record 1080p. Battery life, SoT and RAM consumption are similar to 6.5.26. I enable the battery saver, though. Plus only some apps are allowed for full background processing. I'm sticking with it, next updates should be better.
I'm using MIUI8 for nearly 24 hours now and I'm quite satisfied. Have not recognized heavy bugs (not even small ones).
The battery life seems to be similar to MIUI7 builds and worse than CM13.1 from TeamSuperluminal, which I used over the past few months.
I've been using first version of MIUI 8 from the first day it came out, on xiaomi.eu and I haven't got any issue what so ever. I find it works well, no bugs on my type of use so far. The thing is I don't find a significant change over Miui7... Do you guys? Generally speaking. There are a few functions on sharing that are diferent but it isnt something you should worrie about to hurry up updating.
My suggestion for everyone is that if you are in Miui7 (whatever stable or dev version) dont feel you are loosing something without having version 8... it is almost an appearance thing only changes. I'm not dev so i dont actually know what changes in the inside code and stuff, just speaking over a consumer and tester view.
If there is some devs who can tell what important changes are made over I would appreciate.

what i feel is xiaomi added new theme to MIUI 7 and brand it as MIUI 8.
Nothing significant, everything same as MIUI 7.
totally agreed, i had some overheating and touch issues btw
I'll wait Miui8 on android MM for Mi4c before installing that...
Hi! Please help me out
I will receive my new Mi 4c with the Bootloader Unlocked from the re seller , Rooted and with Multi language ROM.
Do I have to unlock the bootloader with the official method (which means flashing Cina Dev ROM -to re lock the bootloader- and go on with the Xiaomi's code procedure..) or it is possible to get all things done by choosing an unofficial weekly miui.eu international ROM and install it normally from the Updater app as soon I get my device but also be able to update it every week via Updater without issues?
My problem with flashing is that I don't have my laptop and the one I have now runs win xp.
If your MI4C is rooted you can install Flashify. With Flashify you can flash TWRP. Then you can download any desired rom and install that from TWRP.
No need for a computer.... unless you brick your phone at some point.

First, just see first if you can access to the recovery rebooting with Vol button pushed.
What's your rom version.
Hi! it's been a while since I made this post and I've changed the MI4C with a Mi4... thanks anyway! Best!

Stucked on 9.6.4.0

Hello guys ! I just bought this mix 2s a couple of days ago. Also this is my first experience with MIUI so please if I ask something stupid or retarded just forgive me .
When I took the phone out of the box it updated right away to 9.6.4.0 , but as we all know MIUI 10 is already out there for a while . Still my phone doesn't find any update to MIUI 10.
I saw that I can download the firmware from MIUI website and flash it through the update section three dots etc . But since this is my first experience with MIUI I don't know what to think about this flashing method and if I should wait longer for ota or I'm stuck somehow on this version or if I should update like I mentioned before.
Some advice please ? Cheers !
Updating by downloading firmware and using the updater app is safe but decide whether you want to stay on the stable ROM (which normally gets updated monthly) or the developer (which normally gets updated weekly). The MIUI Developer ROM is more stable and bug free than any "stable" version of Oxygen I ran when I had an OP5 so don't let the developer tag scare you.
I would also strongly recommend doing a complete factory reset after upgrading from MIUI 9 to MIUI 10 or Android Oreo to Pie so you get the best user experience. You might end up with some buggy behavior otherwise and since you just got the phone and aren't familiar with MIUI you might not realize that something isn't working like it should.

Well I would like to thank you from the heart for the complex answer ! I was just wondering why my phone can't find the MIUI 10 update if it's already been out for a while. I'm thinking to wait for the Android Pie stable release before I flash a new rom. MIUI 10 has great new features but I'll just wait for MIUI 10 pie. I have to get used to MIUI anyway so I think that I will enjoy 9 while I still have it. Thank you for you time and quick answer! Cheers mate !

manually update:
download ROM from http://en.miui.com/download-343.html
copy to downloaded_rom folder on phone
select ‘About phone’, click ‘System update’, then press ‘three dots’ icon at the top-right corner, and select ‘choose update package’
