Would you recommend Honor 8 for a power-user wanting a good dev scene? - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

XDA have posted many blog posts about this phone and are running competitions so I assumed it would have a good development scene, however these forums seem quite dry in that there aren't many ROMs. Is this likely to pick up? Or am I best off getting a different phone with a better development scene?
Thanks in Advance

There aren't any ROMs that I know of and although TWRP finally got a port to FRD officially in the past day or two I haven't seen anyone with the FRD-L07 (US version) report using it. People had bootloop issues installing SuperSU to the L04 in the past and the then current version of TWRP couldn't make a system backup either.
The Honor 8 is a really nice phone, but I would wait and see what happens if you're thinking of buying one with flashing/tinkering on mind.

Only get this device if you are willing to jump in and help. As there is almost nothing and no one is really interested. I am saving up for the device but it won't be for like 8 months or more before I get it. I understand there will most likely be nothing so I am looking at it as a challenge.

Right now, there is a TWRP and some modified stock ROMs. Maybe in time, development will bloom for this phone. But right now, this phone is not recommended for development adept people.

You have to take into account that this phone is like 3 months old. Be patient , just because there isn't a "[ROM] CyanogenMod 13" thread, doesn't mean that nothing has been (or is being) done.

Yea...there are a few things that need work, but all in all, it seems like a great device. I see probs with notifications and some with wifi issues. Hope it's resolved too.

Well said. Usually it takes about a year.

If you want to buy it now, I would say no. If you're looking for the medium/long run then probably yes. Development is just starting.

This is one of those devices that there really is no waiting. Either the owners all jump in and figure it out or there won't be one.

I think it has to do with sales (community size) and official support (source code and guidance).
That's what made the nexus so widely developed.

Get a best phone with good development. As of now H8 is a born baby and is not good at development. MI is better in development compared to Honor.

Until someone can prove me otherwise Nexus devices still enjoy the biggest and diverse (in terms of different ROM flavours and different apps) community.

That obviously is because XDA is whoring itself out to Huawei and getting a ton of money for marketing the device for them.

Where are all the ROM devs?

I see a couple people but where are all the roms? google even released 2.3.4 source but I haven't seen the explosion of developement for this phone yet. despite a few issues this phone is one badass phone. after i got one without screen bleed and really sunk into it this phone is better that any android i've ever used and has features the Samsung Galaxy S 2 won't have such as nvidia tegra 2 which in my opinion is a much more solid piece of hardware and a much more well known company than the one on the SGS 2. and Smartshare, Ultra dolby digital mobile!!! this phone is the ****! plus i heard bionix was coming to this phone via team whiskey! I see faux released a rom and he doesn't even have the phone! we have a good start but....
Where are the devs!!!??? please we need you people. you guys make phones these expensive things worth purchasing for the insane amounts of money they cost. oh mighty development lords, please develope!
its called patience.
to quote the Princess Bride "I hate waiting..." lol i have patience it just doesn't seem like many have signed on yet like with the vibrant i've had for 10 months.
You also have to remember that out dev section is split between the o2x and g2x. These two forums should be combined.

Totally disagree, maybe for someone with some flashing experience yes, but for noobs it would be a total mess, flashing o2x roms on g2x phones... not to mention wrong kernels, maybe even radios...not a nice thought..

+1 would be a disaster.
I agree development is slower than I'd expected..
I was gonna make a ROM, but the stock ROM with Titanium Backup is best for me. If you build AOSP you lose the awesome Camera app that LG wrote and you lose all the cool apps that come with the G2x.
For me I just uninstall the apppack app and freeze the wifi calling app and I'm good to go.
I tried the GB build and it had GPS issues and didn't have the nice camera app.
So I'm happy with the stock setup with a few tweaks.

The Vibrant has been out for 10 months. The G2x has been out for barely 2.
Development will come.. It takes some time though. Not every Android dev has the cash to buy a new phone every time one comes out.

Closer to 3 weeks. It's amazing how some people think it is easy to develop a rom.
It would help if anyone could build a kernel from the lg source that didn't break wifi and bt. All attempts have failed.....
I actually thought the opposite, I thought development is going great!
I don't remember really seeing any major development for the Vibrant until after 2 Months!
And we already have a. 2.3.3 and a 2.3.4 Rom out!

i agree. guess i feel spoiled from all the vibrant support. i figured this phone would explode fast in dev. since we had root so fast and dual core, plus being a google phone. hopefully t-mobile gets off their ass and releases the official gingerbread like they promised before i purchased my phone (which was the ONLY reason i even was ok with purchasing an android 2.2 again). maybe that'll fix the problem ttabbal was talking about with the kernels.

See these are the responses that are crippling our community. Answer the question with some information and good will versus sarcasm and venom.
Not everyone was born with ability to to distinguish technology and have adb commands hard coded in their brains. Not singling you out man I see it alot. And I can imagine a noob at his keyboard hands trembling in fear of imminent flaming for asking a question.
Yes I encourage the "Search" and I encourage people to fully read threads. I also discourage mobs with torches and pitch forks when some asks a question an advanced user finds silly or whatever. Again just satin this as a blanket statement. Community and unity guys.

Does Nexus S ROM work on Nexus One
Does Droid ROM work on Droid 2 or Droid X or Droid Pro or Droid X2.... just cuz they slightly have the same name doesn't mean it will.
Some common sense helps.
The Does Nexus S ROM work on Nexus S 4G questions I understand, since they are basically the same thing except for the GSM/CDMA radios. But to think Nexus S and Nexus One is alike is just crazy.

The Nexus one is a 3G GSM HTC device. The NexusS is a 3G Samsung device. The NexusS4G is 3G CDMA EvDo rev A and 4G wimax Samsung device . The hardware is very different thus radios, kernels framework, systemui, settings and other system software will be different in order to accommodate each devices respective technology.
Hope that answers your question.

The Nexus One is made by HTC.
Nexus S is made by Samsung. It's not really a Galaxy S variant either.
Why would you want a Nexus S ROM on a Nexus One? I thought ROM is all about OS?

I know what goes into making a ROM. There dev section looks neglected. Found that a lot of the devs don't bother do update there topic if a URL goes down and hell, quite frankly even some of the ROMs don't explain what upgrades they have. One ROM I even found people complaining it was all in Spanish and even the latest MIUI was taken down because of problems.
Go check out the dev sections for the Samsung Captivate and look in any of the ROM topic and you'll see how detailed they are and most even have screenshots.
That's all I meant. This is getting beyond off topic from my original question. Got my answer and that's all I needed to know. Done posting here. Thanks.

Awesome girlfriend!
I looked for the first time in the 10" dev section last night and couldn't believe there was nothing at all. There is so much for the 7 so far. Once the 10 sells more units and more people get them a nice smart dev should end up with one and that's where the roms and things will come from. At this point in time I wouldn't trade my 7 for a 10 because I hate the stock firmware so much. It's so laggy and un-ics like.
Good luck, keep SetCPU because it's the best IMO. I've been using it for years.

[BOUNTY][REACHED]Let's get nitroglycerine33 Eclipse ROM on our s3

The bounty has been reached! Thanks XDA! I'll update the OP when Nitro had a phone.
UPDATE: phone had been purchased and week be doing it Monday, confirmed by hesh.monster
FINAL UPDATE: NITRO JUST GOT HIS S3.... HERE WE GO!
If you haven't heard of Eclipse ROM you've probably been living under a rock. If you have heard of them, then you know of the unmatched stability and speed. Not to mention sheer beauty!
nitroglycerine33 is already working on a ROM for the s3, but doesn't own the device. This limits the testing and work he can do, so we need to get him one! I figure 450 is about the average price for one. So let's set that as a goal, nitro says he's already got 20 towards that goal. His donation link is at the bottom of this post. Please post your donation so I can keep track of the total. All donations are going straight to him and if we get more then what we spend on the device it will stay with him as a donation for his hard work.
Also I just sent 40 so now we're at 60 total only 390 to go! Let's get some Eclipse!

Yes his ROMs are usually similar to AOSP. Even his stock based use a lot of AOSP apps (dialer, gallery, camera, etc). They are oh so sexy, and incredibly stable and his support if the ROM it's unrealistic. If there's a problem he fixes it!

I don't know what happened on the bionic, but I do know that his ROM was great for both the RAZR and charge. He also doesn't release a ROM that isn't stable. He also already has a build for the s3 just needs some bug fixing. Which is hard to do without the phone.

Not trying to flame in ANY way shape or form... I would donate in a heartbeat if your roms are as good as people say but you just gotta get that S3 like a bunch of other devs have done on their own.

Unfortunately, most people don't bother to donate to a dev so on top of the time they invest in making the ROM they are also buying these devices. Nitro is a great dev and this bounty was set up because I and others want his work to come to the s3 NOT because nitro just wants a new phone. He already has many other devices he works on and bought himself. So I appreciate your view and agree IF it actually worked that way were people took care of there Devs but it doesn't.

Like I said I would NEVER bash a dev cause they MAKE this community what it is!! I donate to at least 2 devs a month and $10 at the very least... It's to bad others don't do the same... Granted it is a hobby for most devs that they LOVE doing but they also get treated like crap and people think that the dev owes them a fix right now!!! LOL That's not the case... I hope nitro does get a G3!! :good:

The guys got two kids, a wife, and a full-time job. Additionally, he's never abandoned a device, even when he's running something else. Heard of the X2? He saved it. He doesn't make it a habit to build off leaks, as many devs do. Want to know why? Because stability is his number one concern. This guy builds for YOU while he is working, or in between diaper changes.
What have you done for android? Besides make yourself look like an ass in here?
How many one man teams do you know that does that? Huh? Anyone? Exactly. People like you don't deserve to have fancy, fun devices. Go get an iPhone and take your ****ty, ungrateful attitude somewhere else. Or build something yourself.
See you guys in a week or so. I'll take a ban to defend a stand up dev/person.

I had the bionic and ran his rom. damn right he made it great. why build off of a leak anyway. the leaks were coming so fast it was crazy. imagine having to start over every time. its called time management. building off of leaks seems like a good idea till you do it (I tried and failed miserably. but got a new phone out of it) I would suspect that you were not one of the ones that donated for the bionic because you did not say a bunch of "us ".so why is it any skin off of your back? thanks for the x and bionic Rome can't wait to run the gs3 version.

So a while ago, there was a post talking about whether anyone was interested in MIUI for the HTC One (M8). (this one). I was wondering if anyone has heard any more news on whether MIUI will be coming to this awesome phone any time soon. I can't even imagine the epicness that would come out of it...
That thread is for the M7, not M8. That said, I have no idea if anybody's working on it or not. Haven't heard a thing. Would be nice if we did get it though.

It's a horribly buggy stupid ROM, in my opinion.

A visually appealing Chinese ROM that is pretty awesome when it works.

Miui Millet
I know most have tried the scaled down miui home launcher, but it seems there is another type called miui millet (miui lite) which is similar to miui home, but also provides the dialer, contacts, sms and of course the desktop and locker.

The local floozy in my town has less bugs than MIUI.

Since I was the primary MIUI maintainer for Sprint Evo 3D and M7 (and have since moved to VZW M8), let me address this somewhat old question.
I will be doing a port to VZW just as soon as Xiaomi releases an international M8 ROM. I've been watching their release news somewhat regularly, but haven't seen anything just yet. In fact, I stumbled across this thread searching for possible other releases. Either way, I've got lots of practice porting to VZW M8 from Intl. version via my GPE port, so it's literally just a matter of waiting on Xiaomi.
As far as the comment about MIUI having a large number of bugs...not sure where you're getting your info from, but that's dead wrong. IMHO, MIUI is by far the best ROM I've every used.

I will be waiting eagerly! I too think MIUI is one of the best roms out there. It's the only Rom that I like as much as pure stock android... and that's saying something!:fingers-crossed:

Thank you! You have no idea how excited I am. I know how much blood, sweat, tears, and frustration goes into even writing basic code. I have no idea how hard it is to port a ROM, but I appreciate that there are awesome people like you out there that do it.
Any progress update? I've been waiting for a miui rom for a long time. So excited. Thanks!
