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.

I didn't know if it had been mention yet, but does anyone know which EMUI version we will be looking at on the Honor 8? Also while we are talking any news about it getting Nogurt?
EMUI 4.1 I believe
It is EMUI 4.1 , runs fluidly and there's no confirmation of nouget as far as I know
emui 4.1 skin on top of android 6.0.1.
bt we can soon expect emui 5 based on android 7 as its alderdy been tested on huawei p9
EMUI 4.1, I hope in EMUI 5 will be more stock Android.

Apparently Honor has promised at least 24 months of software updates for the Honor 8 so it will definitely be on its way eventually, hopefully with more Android and less Huawei bloat.

I am a big Xposed fan, so before I drop $750 on a new phone, I want to make sure I can install xposed. Since 7.0 may take awhile, I may hold off if the Mate 9 is nougat based.
So for those that have received the international, can you help me out with a quick check in settings?
Thanks
It's 7.0. Xposed for 7.0 is around the corner. We have great developers here; they have already achieved twrp and root.

i bought it today
mha-l29
nougat 7.0
emui 5.0
Thanks appreciate, guess I'll wait
I wouldn't buy a Huawei with the intentions of modding heavily. I don't believe most Xposed modules work with mate 8 so I wouldn't expect a big change here
Mate 9 going on sale in the US on Jan. 6.
Mate 9 will only be released on Android 7 Nougat

Mate 8 general Forum is where you'll find your answer but be careful. You may get a lot of battery drain. I updated to nougat and didn't like it at all because of battery drain. Downgraded to emui 4.1 and although it's a little better, im still getting battery drain so I'm downgrading again back emui 4.

Hello. I prefer using magisk over SU. And I just wrote up a guide a few days back on how to do that (as long as your running Android Oreo/EMUI 8.

That's tough to answer.....it's all a manner of opinion really. I had slightly better SOT though in emui 5 (since its running Android Nougat) where as emui 8 us Android Oreo. Truthfully I flashed an AOSP ROM after I upgraded to emui 8 because once you go to emui 8 / Android Oreo, it enables treble support. I'm not a big fan of emui in the first place though. However, the AOSP ROM's are newer so they are still wip when it comes to working 100% for the huawei mate 9.
May I ask what custom ROM you are using? And how do you find it? What's your SOT?

Download firmware from http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/ (if available) and unpack update.app from update.zip
Open update.app in Huawei Update Extractor and extract ramdisk.img, this is the boot image file that magisk manager needs to patch.

Okay... Sorry for the delay.
You'll obviously have to go back to stock first. And then hisuite should work to upgrade to Oreo. Just trying to think what the best way to return to stock would be for your model version and get you upgraded to Oreo.
i see this requires Microsoft Windows. i only have Linux. any suggestions?

Too late... unless you've got a bootloader unlock code before July 24. Did you? I'll guess not, hence...no root for you, enjoy GPU Turbo and Pie (whenever that comes).
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.
