I saw this on reddit so I wanted it to post it here but motorola just released the 6.0.1 kernel for our phone via github:
https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/kernel-msm/releases/tag/MMI-MPH24.107-58
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3445644
Try it let us know. But 100% would say its bogus. Why would Motorola release 6.0.1 for clark when 7.0 is around the corner.

It certainly is not bogus that Motorola tagged this 2 days ago or so, whether it's an indication of anything to come, I don't know (doubt it). I assume we're skipping to 7.0 or 7.1, it was just interesting to me when I found it. Not interesting enough to start a thread here on XDA, but enough to drop it in here.

Has anybody tried running it yet? I'd be happy to guinea pig it up, but I use my phone for work now so I can only really mess with tested kernels, milestones, and weeklies.

Somebody needs to compile it first. But I wouldn't be surprised if you have used parts of this kernel in other 6.0.1 ROMs. Looking at the source code, it isn't new, also same build number as the 6.0.1 that some RetEu/RetAsia devices got.

I've been running it for 2 days, can't say I notice any significant difference from 6.0 source. But I don't tweak things much anymore

So as some of you may know the S4 had it's exploit fixed and since then we haven't been able to get away from Touchwiz based roms.
Before I go get the G3 I just wanted to be 100% clear that even the latest firmware hasn't fixed Bump, and I will be able to do other AOSP roms. From my quick research it seems like it's fine, but I only have 20 minutes left to get it friday instead of monday, so I figured I would just ask to be safe.

AT&T released firmware Build number: KVT49L.D85010f to patch root exploit. Read this thread

When Android Lollipop rolls out to G3 in the near future, rooting will be harder to accomplish. Same for other brands.

But that is recent enough that a phone bought today will not come with it out of the box, so I'm not worried about that.
And in theory I can just flash a bumped lollipop build later anyway right?
I just want to make sure it's not in the same current state as the S4 where you have to have touchwiz and match roms to bootloader version and what not.
I know there isn't too many roms yet with bump being fairly new, but as long as I stay on the current build I should be fine going forward no?
And I guess on that note, the stock rom isn't nearly as bad touchwiz is it?

Cool, I went for it, thanks for the quick clarifications. I can read all about everything now while I impatiently wait for UPS friday.
with LG phones you can always downgrade the software to a version where you can root.
I am sure there will be a way to get official lollipop while keeping custom recovery and root.
Once again, LG locked the door but forgot to close it before locking like what they did on the G2. So we were still able to upgrade while keeping custom recovery and root by mixing and matching partitions from upgrade and previous versions.
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

Hi everyone
I was remembering my galaxy s2 times when I had custom kernels that allowed me to do some things like overclocking...
Not that Mi4c needs it but it would be nice to have that option...
Is there any way to get a custom kernel for this phone or will be hard to see that happen?
If anyone could give me some kind of explanation on why is it likely or unlikely...
Thanks in advance for reading

Other xiaomi phones got their kernel source released, so it is possible for the xiaomi mi4c sources to be released also.
I read we won't because the other phones were sold outside of China so they released the sources and mi4c is for China so they won't...

I'll be praying they release that...
No kernel source means that there will be no undervolt possibility, right?
So, kernel is out since 17.03.2016. Any undervolting possible by now?

I have the newest model( the k1)
There's a good chance.
https://www.androidheadlines.com/20...bring-android-o-to-the-shield-android-tv.html
This may be for the Shield TV, but we may get Oreo for the Shield Tablet as well.
I agree there's a chance. Nvidia has kept up support for this device for quite a while now.
I won't be disappointed if we don't get it.
You can be 100% sure we'll get O unofficial, but really not sure about official.
Yes, we will get Oreo on the shield, read this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/development/rom-tesla-n-7-0-014-t3491056/page37
I don't know WHEN we'll get it, but I know we WILL get it. As the post by GtrCraft confirms, developers are working on it.
The answer is here : Nvidia will not provide Oreo for K1... : http://androidandme.com/2017/10/news/nvidia-not-updating-shield-tablet-and-shield-tablet-k1-to-android-oreo/
Only alternative ROM will do it for us.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/development/rom-dominionos-t3464510/post74409005
We'll be lucky to get 7.1.1, let alone O.. Unofficial however...
Which one is it? Most of the ROMs which have been posted here haven't got an Update for ages now, the only one which seems up to date is the Oreo one, however I am afraid that this ROM will be dead too soon (hopefully not) :/ I just hope that this ROM will be our savior and get us out of this misery aka EMUI.
I'm in the same situation. Most of the roms have some bugs and never get updated and others are just not stable enough to be used daily. I hope there will be at least one rom that is stable and that gets updated from time to time. Especially since Honor 8 won't get Android Oreo anymore.

crDroid is under testing for latest B401 blobs and the GPS reboot fix. I'll update it as soon as possible.

Never heard of crDroid before, can you tell what it is like? Is it a rom based on the B401 firmware? Whats the difference between the other ones? And in what kind is this firmware/rom better than teh other ones?

I'm new to the Honor 8 (and coming from the Nexus 6: ease of modding/availability of custom firmware etc., this totally sucks). But I'll tell you that generally the only "better" custom ROM is a more stable ROM: otherwise, it depends on user preference. Do you want a lot of customization options, or are you preferring a pared-down, bare-bones experience? That's what makes the difference.
The trouble with the H8 appears to be that 1) EMUI for the H8 just doesn't play very nicely with custom ROMs (and possibly even just rooting?); and 2) because of that, not many people who are interested in developing ROMs are taking on the task.
So I'd just get used to EMUI or take whatever ROM is most stable according to most--I have no idea personally what that is, but your options are going to probably be pretty limited (especially now that it looks like Huawei is shafting H8 owners by not releasing Oreo). I doubt you've got any room to be picky here: just shoot for stability.
As for crDroid specifically, it is one of many lines of ROMs (like Resurrection Remix) and is released in different variants for different phones. This one is based on Cyagenmod (and my guess is the Honor 8 one isn't official, but rather an unofficial variant, "based on" crDroid)--but you could've found that out by using Google (see here for starters).
The Honor 8 appears to be an especially difficult device to successfully mod, so if you're a beginner, I'd really think twice before taking on the task unless you can get some help. I'm fairly well-versed with modding, but I'm either going to return this phone or limit my tinkering to rooting.
