Hello, I am wondering If its possible to make custom rom (aosp) working on Mate 8? I read, that its not possible coz of Kirin processor. So how is it? Will be this phone supported with cyanogen for expample?
well, both the kernel and the recovery sources have been made public by huawei, so theres already a good baseline for ya... lets see how the devs will treat the mate 8 in the long run

You have to go through some very long promotional hoops but still don't get to a ROM

There will never be an official nougat firmware for the p8max, but it seems @nexolight & team made huge progress building a working device tree for the regular p8 (albeit for CM13).
This might be a good place to start.
We have the source code now:
http://consumer.huawei.com/en/openso...e=10&curPage=1
Can someone please port Lineage OS to the Mate 9? I will buy them a coffee.

beer!! from me
me too.or can produce mokee
Please, somebody can help us? We will need a reverse engineer for the drivers to port and somebody from Lineage crew.
AFAIK, the problem with the published source code by Huawei is that the camera does not work.

Can you provide the technical details on the error messages ?
There is a LineageOS image for Honor8 (which has problems with random crashes) but the actual kernel interface differences between Honor8 and Mate9 are minimal.
Sorry I don't know the details but there has been some discussion in this thread:

The camera itself works, it's when you take a picture that the image doesn't save.
I narrowed it down to a sqlite error when trying to save:
Code:
06-09 12:00:45.188 E/SQLiteDatabase(26762): android.database.sqlite.SQLiteConstraintException: UNIQUE constraint failed: gallery_media._data (Sqlite code 2067), (OS error - 2:No such file or directory)
I'm not sure how to fix that actually.
gallery_media._data seems to have a dot too many imo, but maybe it's supposed to be that way.
I never tried with another camera app, to check if it's just stock that doesn't work.
Edit: This can apparently mean 2 things, either the db is not read/write or the ID (gallery_media._data) already exists.
Edit 2: Actually, this error no longer exists on B185.
Google Camera works fine. It's just Huawei's camera app that doesn't work correctly.
Then, if the kernel works, what are the general steps to start working on a Mate 9 Lineage port?
If the kernel interface is similar to that of Honor 8, shouldn't the Honor 8 Lineage sources be the base for a Mate 9 port?

Apparently the unofficial lineage for Honor 8 uses stock honor 8 kernel.
I'm syncing now, might take a while.
Hopefully we just need to edit the Honor 8 sources for Mate 9.

I hope so!
It seems like we need some serious talent to get a proper rom ported.
I started messing around with building the kernel but, given my lack of experience, I wouldn't expect much.
Any progress on this my friend? @ante0

There are few more devs here maybe you should unite. Don't give up just yet.
How far did you get/where did you get stuck? I've got time to mess around with things next week. @ante0

I've only just started. I changed everything in devices, vendor left now. But that's just replacing Honor 8 text with Mate 9 text.
Got to replace files too.
I'm not a dev, I'm more a fixer guy xD
I'm not a dev, but I have programming experience and am willing to help since I'm now a Mate 9 user.
So guys, anyone set a team to work on this?
It's true.
@Razziell left the ship some days ago.
Xiaomi is the devil. Left us with F*CKING BUGGED source codes.
Yeah, that is sad, there is basically no one left for our good old Redmi 4 Prime.
Does anyone knows how @jacoghi is doing ? We haven't see the man in a long time and I would like to know if he is doing well in his life.
Title is misleading. He compiled the ROMs not ported them.

Question for devs, Is it possible to use source code from Redmi 4 Note with SD (code name: mido)? Hardware is quite similar and they have real strong dev community. Maybe quickest way is to use custums Roms for Redmi 4 Note, adjusted hardware differences and compile Rom for R4P?

Can you elaborate on what is exactly wrong? Was this done on purpose or...?

Xiaomi doesn't release kernel source for building AOSP or CAF based rom, kernel source only work for MIUI at most. Also most proprietary vendor driver not available as sources (only blob). It's pain to build custom rom from Android fork.
Compared to Samsung, Sony, Lenovo, Oneplus etc, almost all abandoned xiaomi devices suffered same fate, the custom rom will always missing something. We were very lucky if we had such a great developer.
My previous device, redmi 1s never get update beyond kitkat, but armani-dev (especially fefifofum) were a great team, they bring mostly stable nougat release (LOS, Mokee, Slim, etc).

Redmi Note 4X has many ROM's, officially.
There was idea that that device is like ours so we should talk to some devs and use its sources

That would be essentially the same proccess we are now. It can be achieved though to use the tree from Mido and modify it for our device. Make a stable tree then compile
Hello. I have a stupid idea, but it might work. What about porting ROM's from Nubia Z11 mini S? It has the same specs(i mean SP625 and Adreno 506).

You do not need to talk about things you do not know. I had problems with the hard drive and only some people from the Russian community helped them to solve. For them, I continue to work. The rest can freely use my source, they are completely working.

You have problem with HDD? Why didn't say that in R4P forums, you just say that you want to stop developing because you don't have time to do it. Is that whole reson to stop sharing with R4P community ?
Just be Patient, always belive something wonderful will be happening!
Our Roms kernel are uptodate so no worry please
Most of the developments ended in 23rd March, this got me wondering why no one builds such great custom roms or custom stuff that we can use as well. It uses same chipset on J7 series which is should be fairly interested to be with and has only two bottleneck 16 GB NAND flash and 2 GB of RAM. Do any developer willing to (at least) port some roms to our device as well?

Well i'll most likely trying to help developers in my time, in the past i mean. What do you need? We might need a whatsapp group to gather some people together then we can agree with a developer for such stuff. This device should not be underwhelmed.
Only a few people takes interest with J701f and it's really sad. I'm really looking forward for new developments. Like a working auto-root and twrp because the current ones are really buggy.

Thanks all the devs out there for bringing stuff to J7 Core. Due to low interest and presumably 16/2 GB storage limitation im switching to a 64/4 Redmi 5 Plus. I can advise you all the same..
