Update time - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hi everybody. I'd want to ask you a question (because I'm new here on honor 8): how much time pass from an update to another one? I see we are currently at B389, but I'd want to know if the update are regular and, if yes, how much regular are them. Thanks in advance for your help and have a nice day

It's realy hard to say. If Honor want to push updates, now we know (after B389) he can push too much OTAs in one time, but is a different to use/have EU/US/China etc because OTAs don't comes for all regions in one time. Next update will be probably B34x and we will see how is Honor quick. Btw Honor was one the first oem whitch bring to our devices Nougat

Why B34x? Idon't understand because we are on B389 and we pass to B34x?

I think it will be B39x or B4xx too because B399 ecc will be for internal test

Ops, corrected

When the device was first launched, updates were about 1-3 months in between depending on the model and country. Now it's about 3-5.

@ScardracS I see you're a Recognized Developer. Maybe you can join the OpenKirin Team, or build new stuff for our device like a new custom ROM or custom kernel?

Yes, I'm a recognized developer thank to the galaxy Nexus and the LG G2. The Honor 8 is pretty different on board and support, so I need to study it more and then I could try to enter on the open Kirin project

Can I remove EMUI on the Honor 8?

So I am looking to get a honor 8, but there is one thing that I am not so sure about, EMUI. So first of all, what are your thoughts on it, is it just a re skin of stock android or are there limitations/advantages. I am coming from IOS, and like the look of it, which i know emui is somewhat similar looking. Can I remove EMUI and go with a more stock version of android? If not what are some things I should do to get around the limitations of it? Also, can update to Nougat? Thanks!
There are more number of inbuilt features in EMUI than stock ROM. Some of the apps are inbuilt with the it. Stock ROM doesn't have every utility app that needs in day to day life like file manager, call recorder. We can download the app in play store in it. EMUI has these apps built with itself. So no need to download external app.
Limitations for EMUI is the RAM management. Im not sure about Honor 8, but RAM management is major issue in EMUI in all other models. It might be fixed soon with the upcoming updates also.
Regarding the update, you will get update till Android O for sure. But the time taken to get the update will be more than that of stock android devices. So don't worry about updates if you have the patience for it.
As of now you can't remove EMUI , as custom ROM is not available.

No other custom ROM available yet, the answer is NO for now...
But u can change Launcher if u dont like EMUI style.

Removal of the current EMUI will void the warranty. Please be aware of this and makes changes to your device at your own digression. (NS)
Alright thanks everyone for your reply, ill just probably customize the ui with different launcher and stuff and I should be fine with it.

It's really not bad. Add pixel launcher and theme by venom007 and you'll be good to go. I've been happy with it as an Android purist waiting for the pixel phone launch.
No custom ROM yet, so no
nop, not a single custom rom is available at the movement

From what I am reading on this forum, it does not seem so.
There is a thread mentioning that many developers already tried and left their projects because of the difficulties.
One can always hope but am skeptical myself.

We will still get many modded custom Roms but as for custom Roms like CyanogenMod etc, it appears that it's a monumental task because of honor 8 being a Kirin device.
I don't understand the actual nuances, just stating what I usually read.

I forked the P9 lite repo for CM13.
The P9 development is still stuck on the telephony interface, but at least it's a start.

Thanks a lot... You should make a new thread in honor 8 Android development stating this so that more people can join in.
As for me, I am just the guy who knows how to troubleshoot installation and soft-brick problems (and even that at a rudimentary level)

Is this root method legit?

Getting my phone on Saturday or Monday and I want to root it right away. Does anyone know if this is a legit way to root my phone?
http://rootkhp.pro/how-to-root-huawei-honor-9/
I dont think so. They even have page for Honor 10, which dont event exist yet. LoL
What model are you getting ? If it's ST-AL10 then there's one chinese web out there has working tool to root it, but it need to be on B123 version as well,
I guess i'll just simply wait for TWRP to be available
Hopefully huawei will be as friendly as in honor 8 time
I'm getting the European version
Now it's still to early to root... I don't see any (working) root method yet...

The best way to root is to have TWRP first. Never try rooting methods from 3rd party sites.

Better wait for a TWRP man. I tried rooting methods like this before and it never worked. Plus there is a risk of spyware since we don't know where that program came from.

The Honor 9 is too new. I don't think anyone has managed to root it yet. Even if they do, these features probably won't be compatible with our firmware. That's why the monochrome feature on the P10 still doesn't work for us.

I think it only came with the Chinese firmware. Even that hasn't been ported to all versions and it's basically the same phone.

Rommco05 said:
Yeah I think too isn't for all models.
Honor 9 my feelings:
Camera is great! 3D panorama is really interesting BUT I think Honor 9 don't use fully potential of hardware. I have before Honor 8 and with latest updates was a bit better, especially when taking remotely objects.
Objects which is near is perfect!

Glad you love the phone.. Can I ask, did you ever consider the mi max 3..if so what swayed you towards the note 10?
I am still on the fence as to which phone to get. If they don't release a global rom, allowing the use of Google pay(nfc) here in the UK, then the mi max 3 is looking better as its way cheaperfor the same functions. But the note has better speakers and camera. Uh oh, just swayed the other way, lol.... Thanks.
