Emui 5.0 -> 4.1 - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hi!
When the EMUI*5.0 will be the default UI,*is it possible to go back to 4.1? So basically my question is if it's possible to go back to previous UIs on this phone? I'm considering buying this and so far I'm not impressed by the EMUI*5.0

Sure you can,but you can't have EMUI 4.1 on Android 7.x So if you want to stay with EMUI 4.1 that mean you need to stay on Android 6.1

U can rollback to previous version if there is a rollback package .
Honor will release it if u request them and wants to opt out of beta test . once emui 5 is released and if it got stable , there will be a release to public and there will be no way to revert to emui 4.x

Emui b316-b317

Hi. I’ve got Honor 6 H60-L12. System 4.4.2 and EMUI 3.0
Recently I’ve got information that a can upgrade EMUI B316 to B 317.
Did anybody did it? Any major changes?
I wasn’t happy after previous upgrade, graphics are worse now.
While having new B317is it still possible to record incoming calls?

Why don't you go straight to official Emui 3.1 by manual update? There is still the recording feature in Lollipop...so you will not loose it.
I upgrade my phone to B317 but didn't see any changes at all. I think that it changed the icons of google apps but I am not sure

Hi giboz. I would like to go for official 3.1 update, but so far I've got notification only about Emui update. I'm not sure how to do it
My model is H60 L-12 is this update available also for this model?
If I will go for system update do I have to make back up? If yes how can I do it safe, I don’t like to have back up in the cloud.

Which emui/android version should I run ?

Hi
I just got myself this phone, I would like to know which software (android/emui) version is the best to run? In terms of minimum amount of lags/bugs, best battery management. I do not mind not having the lastest features as I only use my phone to call/text/browseinet/watch videos.
my phone version is the H60-L04V100R001C00B109SP01.
Thanks guys for your help.
Then I would not upgrade. The Android 4.4 the phone comes with is more likely your best option.

CM 11. If you don't know what that is or are unfamiliar with flashing custom ROMs, then just stay on whatever you are already using.

I know what cyanogenmod is but I don't like it, also I do not want to root or flash custom roms.
thanks for your advice tho
I'd say upgrade to the last KitKat ROM released for your model and stick to it maybe until Marshmallow stable becomes a thing. I wanted to downgrade to KitKat after getting Lollipop as in my opinion it was much better but just couldn't be bothered enough to actually downgrade to be honest.

Ok thanks, I'm atm on 4.4.2/emui 3.0.

Would it be possible to have EMUI 5.0 on Marshmallow?

Hello,
This idea just stroke me while waiting for the Nougat update...
I, and certainly most of us here, are not interested in Android 7.0 more than we're interested in the new EMUI (I can't wait to change that ugly notification panel).
So the idea here is to port EMUI 5 to Marshmallow to take advantage of the nice UI along with the compatibility of Android 6.0 with root, Xposed and so on...
What do you guys think of the idea? And do you think it is feasible?
Peace!
You can get it now and its rather very simple. "Just for your information, it's easier to upgrade to nougat using this method through the Huawei Firmware Finder Android app. I did it without going through all the trouble of rooting.

Lol I don't think you understand what op was suggesting.
I think you are confused.... EMUI 5 is another name for Nougat for huawei honor phones(correct me if i'm wrong) same for EMUI 4 for Marshmallow. I think you are looking for theming your EMUI 4 to look like EMUI5 via xposed or whatever else is available

I get you, however it all depends on how coupled is EMUI to Android version. If like you said, they're tightly coupled, then there is no way to port the EMUI 5 to MM.
The final goal is indeed getting rid of the ugly EMUI4.1.
Thanks for stopping by :good:

Well considering EMUI is simply a skin built upon Android 7.0, I'd imagine 6.0 doesn't have some of the functions that EMUI 5.0 would call to. Thus, it would be an extreme effort to port the EMUI 5.0 skin to Marshmallow. Without source it's impossible. It really isn't even worth the amount of time it would take to reverse engineer and try to implement the functionality of Android 7.0 onto 6.0. I'd imagine the end result would be exactly like 7.0 but extremely buggy and missing functionality.

Can´t upgrade to 7.0. FRD-L04C900B131

That´s it, i took my phone to technical service and when i had it back its build number had changed to FRD-L04C900B131, android 6.0, it was, before taking it to technical service, on FRD-L04C567B385 android 7 and now i can´t upgrade. HELPPPPP i hate emui 4.1 and love 5.0

Would be better to ask them to rebrand it back again to the original firmware.

honor kiw-l21 official android update

I have a honor kiw-l21 phone it has build kiw-l21c432b350 on emui 4.0 android 6.0.1. the thing is i need to update the version of android, since my banking app no longer supports android versions lower than 7. i have searched your site for a version of android that is 7 or grater. is there an official version to meet my requirement. I noticed that there is is a develeper version called lineageOS 17.1 is that my only solution or is there an official one i can use.
Updates get automatically rolled out by OEM/carrier if they consider it necessary.
What you mean is to upgrade your existing Android. This is never done by OEM/carrier.
IMO to upgrade to Android version 7 or higher you have to flash a corresponding Custom ROM like LineageOS.
But I may err, as always ...

You need to use test point method that needs opening your phone's back cover and that is kinda a pain for noobs. Need some research on your phone.

Cheers, I was hoping that Honor/huawei might have brought a newer version of EMUI out, I did update it when EMUI 4 came out, that update was from android 5 to 6.
