Sources are available for our device!! - Honor 8 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion

If you go to http://consumer.huawei.com/en/opensource/ and look in smartphones section you will find our device (PRA) listed and you can download the sources for it.
Have they been available he whole time ?? or just recently ?? i mean did anyone even check.. ??

I think it was recent because honor 6x also released

CM 14

Since the huwaei in not officially supported honor 6. They stuck at marshmallow. plzz someone build CM14 for honor 6. Honor 4x has a low hardware as compared to honor 6 still honor 4x got CM14 support. in last 2 year no one ported custom rom for honor 6.
Without complete source is impossible to build good custom rom.
If you want you can try the Mate 7 MM AOSP, this works on Honor 6
"please build CM14"... why won't you try to do it yourself, if it's so easy? You should read the other topics, Google some stuff, or even use common sense before making such useless topics. Like CX&== says, the most we can get right now is Marshmallow AOSP (not CM). Anything better would require Huawei to make a custom ROM for us, which is never going to happen.
If you actually knew what you were writing about, you would notice that 4X has a Snapdragon processor, which explains why it has custom ROMs support.
I've already posted the Full Source including Kernel Source.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/development/h60-mm-emui4-source-t3447862
and still no one wants to do it.
Maybe because the device is not popular...
better you post requests in q and a section bro..

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

I will try but it's a hard task because Sony provide only the Kernel sources, not like on flagship devices where you have the device tree and the proprietary tree too. I tried to build CM13 and it's almost done but I will not spend more time on it because I'm alone to solves bugs and Nougat will come soon.

Thank you for the link but A LOT of things are missing in the guide. Try to follow it yourself and at the end go check my device and vendor trees on my Github you will understand

For me it looks like a clickbait, if you look at the server tree of the download link there is nothing related to XA, Sony or MediaTek (or I missed something) and why putting a finished work in a temp folder ??? http://cloud.vache-android.com/Moto/tmp/
And a last clue, if you look at the bottom of the guide in "related" contents, you will find Lineage15 guides for almost all Xperia with Mediatek processor.

No hope then... Developement is so weak on this device
Edit: this "vache" seems to be a developer for Moto phones
We need lineage for Xperia XA
Imight, I have made it for other devices,
Best Option to stand any chance of custom ROM's on our XA
It will take a lot of effort testing and time but if we want this device running Oreo + then these guys are the only real hope. :fingers-crossed:
https://github.com/MediatekAndroidDevelopers/information
A thread with real pledges needs to be started so we can raise enough funds for test devices and to ask for official support. :fingers-crossed:
The coolpad note3 got support but are the Sony Xperia XA users as committed as they are????
You'd have my money for an Oero Rom
I can support with something if we get more develoment for this phone and I want an Oreo rom ofc
Resurrection Remix
buys loads of devices source code from manufactures
and makes newer android versions for many devices, even for unpopular devices,
so its worth talking to them,

Time to talk about Android O for our device

First question does Osprey's hardware support Android O ?
Prob does but we'll prob not be able to have some features
Osprey's hardware didn't supported android N too but we got it with custom rom... I think this will happened with android O too
Our device is in list to get los 15 ie. android O

Well that's a pleasant news. And considering the awesome dev support our device has, I'm pretty sure we'll be getting plenty of Android O ROMs to try out.

Just for fyi, lineageosdownloads.com is not the official site (download links are redirected to actual linageos.org (org, not com)). So information they give cannot be verified unless the official linageos blog posts something about it.
It's still a long way. Source code hasn't been out yet. After AOSP code is pushed, linageos team will work on it, but considering the limited resources (unlike CyanogenMod), it can take a while. After the base is ready, then devs will focus on building device specific images and fix bugs. Only then android o will be roaster ready. Other derivative ROMs will take more time obviously.
We can't be sure if 8.0 will be fully compatible with our device. We don't have official Nougat kernel sources and proprietary blobs (AFAIK), also from what I've observed so far, the farther apart the last official firmware and target firmware are, the harder it is to keep a ROM unmodified and yet stable & functional.
Our device shouldn't die that easy though, as newer Moto devices with similar hardware as osprey and Merlin have been released.

Just like i say earlier our device it wasn't supported android N but we got it thanks to our awesome developers. I think they won't let us down with android O too.. it maybe take a little time but i think we will have android O for our moto g 2015
sorry for my bad english
Hopefully we get O, and hopefully O comes default with the pixel nav because redacting that would take effort thats not worth it now that nexus is dead .

Our device does support Nougat, it is evident by the presence of custom ROMs (and even a stock port). The only reason we didn't get a OTA was because the company didn't provide us. The Moto ROM and these custom ROMs all are based on AOSP code.( Technically, if the company released the full source of their ROM and features, then we could build stock ROMs too)
And yes, you are right, it may take a little while but eventually we should see the ROMs coming
But the absence of latest device specific proprietary stuff and official kernel sources forces devs to look for other branches to fill the gaps and get newer thingies working. In some places it's not possible to implement a certain feature and an older feature is modded to make it work, for example before the official marshmallow OTA was out, we already got marshmallow ROMs but it had some hacky workarounds for radio (I don't know if it was updated after that), same goes for early Nougat when camera was becoming a problem. The camera is still not perfect (check linageos thread), working correctly on some apps and glitching on others. Newer software, newer challenges.
But codes are not exactly like food though, mixture of old and new ones is not always bad. But the blobs and drivers sometime give headache

Have faith on our awsome developer we will surely have android O
Well, Android Oreo is out. I really hope that Osprey will get it soon.
https://source.android.com/devices/architecture/treble
according to this website,
"With Treble, a new stable vendor interface provides access to the hardware-specific parts of Android, enabling device makers to deliver new Android releases simply by updating the Android OS framework—without any additional work required from the silicon manufacturers"
Does this mean if someone gets Lineage OS 15 or OTA of Stock Android 8.0, they will receive all the updates from google from security patch to new Android versions (If the hardware is capable of running that version obviously!)?
---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 AM ----------
If that so, Manufacturers can just update all the devices which theoretically can run android O , it will be a onetime work, after that it'll be easy to update the devices
That would be amazing. Let's wait for a developer opinion.
I managed to build AOSP 8.0_r4 for osprey with SELinux disabled and tons of warnings, using cm14.1's files with some edits. Though for some reason the kernel doesn't seem to boot (I tried with linage os and squid kernel)
I attached the boot.img it built if someone more expert wants to look at it (I didn't manage to find anything wrong)
Flashing the file results in fastboot "Error: failed to load the kernel"

Hi, Alberto97 (the official maintainer of lineageOS for osprey) has successfully booted android O on osprey. If you can get in contact with him, he might help you.
PS. Don't bug him about ETAs. He'll release when he feels its ready.

[Factory ROMS] Unihertz Jelly Pro N [7.0 no GMS & 8.1] --Please mirror

I have 2 of these tiny Unihertz Jelly Pro's, a black one and a Blue one, my blue one has an N in the model number . I couldn't find any downloads on their official website for anything other than the ATOM.
After writing an email requesting the stock ROM or it's source and making sure to copy [email protected] I received direct links to download 7.1 with no GMS or OTA, and 8.1.
Not knowing how long these links will stay alive, and I cannot post links here, I have requested android file host
So if you know the google drive url format this info will get you there, otherwise I will post real links if They dont reject my request.

Hello I just purchased a Jelly Pro today and definitely want to upgrade to Oreo. Could you directly send me the link for Oreo? Also, could you inform me on how to update the UI on the Jelly Pro after getting the link?

Thank you Downloading now.
I think all versions are available on a Google drive with fast downloads - you can probably find the links at the Unihertz forum ( can't post them here as a new user. )
