Why is this subforum soo empty ? You have a good phone, very powerfull one, but as much as I can see, no mods for it, no roms, no android 7 and some people in 2017 still stuck with android 5.1.1. It the P8max soo bad, and forgiven by the devs ? P8Lite is getting some huge updates, almost every months we get a security update and small fixes, but here.... Maybe this phone wasn't soo advertised, but ... what happend ?
P8Max doesn't get support since it wasn't a worldwide release and with it's size it's not a phone for everyone. With a Kirin SoC and no drivers you can't build Custom ROMs.
The sold it as a premium smartphone with a crap support for software.
I'm sorry for this, p8max seems to be a really good phone, I just hope huawei will uodate it regularly like he do on lite version :/
Btw, lite version doesn't have sources, drivers, but still we have 2-3 good custom roms... P8max is much more capable, sadly, it's abandoned even by Huawei... Just update the newest roms and you'll have a very good, modern phone that sometimes is even better than s5/s6

It's an ok phone. Overpriced and overhyped at the beginning.
The Phone is dead there wont by any more updates beyond this "stable" Android 6 release.
For the P8Lite Snapdragon Version its so much easier to port a ROM and i know that its possible do make Custom ROMs für Kirin SoCs but it need someone who know what he is doing.
I have my own Custom ROM based on Stock for it.
I learned my lesson, this was my first Android Phone and my last Huawei/Honor respectively non Snapdragon SoC phone.

On p8lite almost all are Kirin versions, 90% of forum readers have kirin versions, and even roms are for kirin...

Hi guys
I'm new to Huawei devices, the P9 Lite is my first Huawei and I'm pretty satisfied with the device.
I do like the EMUI, but I find it to be too RAM hungry, so I was wondering will we get CyanogenMod 13 ever?
Also, do you think the P9 Lite will be updated to Android 7.0 Nougat when it comes out?
I'm interested to know this as well. Now that the bootloader can be unlocked.... perhaps this will be more likely?
Hi Charlie, how did you manage? I tried, but had to reinstall emui, the phone was blocked...
I'm also interested in any news about Cyanogenmod 13 for the Huawei P9. Also, what method did you guys use to unlock the bootloader?

Yes it should almost certainly receive 7. P9 already had a leaked beta. It also has the choice of a stock look android app menu as well as the iOS feel at the moment. To be honest I really like the look and direction of the beta. Just needs polishing.

Is there news yet ?
I wait eagerly for CM for my P9 Lite, I hope it will soon .
Yes, the bootloader can be unlocked and it can also be rooted.
Type P9 Lite unlock bootloader into google and you should get the XDA link first.
Hello!
There is a dev working on cm for your device currently, check http://meticulus.co.vu for updates. It boots and lots of things work, but it's still not really an usable rom. But it seems to be going well, I wish all my luck for that as I myself have a Honor 5C, so having a rom for P9 Lite would basicly mean a rom for me too. The developer seems very much skilled enough to make a fully working cyanogenmod port and I think it'll be one of the first Kirin Cyanogenmod, if not the first! All praise and glory to Meticulus!
Will there be future development on the mate 9 as far as custom Roms?or is it safe to say this phone is going remain stock. I respect the devs that are currently building for this device, I just don't see alot for my brand of mate9 and don't won't to rebrand. Ive read through the forums but it's still unclear to me if the Roms out now will work for on L29C567B190?
Have to rebrand at some point? Whats stopping you?
Idk I guess Ive been so used to my 6p and 1+3t, I got this mate 9 thinking it would be as sweet as 6p but like a duma** I didn't even look into it first, well just details like ram and chipset, I didnt even think of EMUI or decryption support, which I'm bootloader unlocked and rooted but want a asop stock like rom, not EMUI. Lol
EMUI on the Mate 9 is pretty close to stock AOSP
Its been about year now, and 5 month in some countries, that nokia 6 launched, but no one has developed any single rom for nokia 6, even naugat roms, yeah we are using upto date naugat but custom roms are faster and with more features, with more abilities, official oreo also lauched on 4th October with pixel 2, but no one has developed or developing oreo....yeah its coming to nokia 6 by this month but if any dev would be developing any oreo rom for nokia six then we must be enjoying it, with faster performance, the custom roms are too fast then a stocked rom.....
So its my kind request please develope custom rom for this phone too..
Thanks
I agree it has been really disappointing that there has been no custom roms however the reason simply lies with two things; firstly the phone wasn't a major seller meaning it's community isn't anywhere near as large as other phones, secondly the phone didn't have any good rooting tools meaning that it was as near as impossible to make a rom that works. Even worse news is that a 2018 variant is rumoured to be in the work with different internals meaning if someone can't find a way of forcing user roms on it, the devices days are numbered, I mean look how tardy Nokia has been with updates already on its release year!
But still, even the last 4 nokia android phone namely nokia x,x+,xl and x2 dual sim, all were having good custom roms, even lumia 520 was also booted to android, then why this phone can't, if devs can boot a windows phone to android then they can develop anything, the thing is they need to work on it
simply because the bootloader isn't unlocked yet by Nokia .
Nokia said that they will provide bootloader unlock with the Oreo update.
There are many reasons for the almost nonexistent development right now. One being that there isn't any unlock tool. Secondly Nokia is yet to release sources too. Both these factors play a major role in custom ROM development.
Let's hope that they unlock and release sources, otherwise we're at a dead end

this is bcoz of two simple reasons.
1. bootloader cant be unlocked
2. kernel source isnt released.

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.
Thats quick from Huawei/Honor to be honest.
Models : COL-AL00-AL10-TL00-TL10-L29 (direct link)
Otherwise take a look over here
for more devices as well
Good luck Devs
:victory:
This means roms are coming? ?
Well since the source is released for sure we can make something out of it. At the moment im focused on making Huawei P9 EU rom cause although the chinese version has an oreo, rebranding doesnt let our devices to connect in any network. So yeah bare with me and ill start working with customized emui based firmware or a GSI aosp that you will still have advantages from emui like AI, Camera etc etc.

I dont think that any member from XDA doesnt have bootloader code so far. The problem will be in the future but again if someone wants to unlock bootloader, there will be a way to do so even if that means we have to pay a bit. For the average joe its better to be locked so we will not end up solving issues from noobs begging with posts like "please help me unbrick my device".
That means volte in custom rom? Sweet!!
