Lineage os - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Can anyone tell that will we get official lineage os build for honor 8?

It doesn't matter if official or not, official is when the ROM is fully stable and there are weeklies on the lineage server.
Even if it didn't become official, if it's stable is like official.

I don't think soo

It may get official

We have no major bugs we are likely to get offical .

hi,
are there any news about official lineage os ?

Did I miss any up to date LineageOS builds for the Honor 8, never mind anything near to official?

Anything we can do to get Oreo ?

Android Oreo was just announced and our device is not even in the expected updates list. How can Lenovo do this?. Old phones like k3,k4,it and vibe x2 are expected for an update. How is this fair? Can't we do anything to request an update for our phone?

When I go to the official Lenovo page (to the upgrade matrix) it says status completed on all these phones. None is getting Oreo.
No need of Oreo update from Lenovo. One Dev has to download the Oreo aosp repo and build it. If device tree, vendor tree and kernel source is present we can compile any ROM. Bugs may be there but the Dev has to fix.

Bruuuhh. We haven't gotten a stable Leanoge OS 14 ROM and u say we'll get an Oreo one. That'll take all least 3-4 years. And even if we get an Oreo ROM within 2 yrs it's not gonna be bugless. Stock ROM ensures no bugs with VoLTE support.

Do you really think building a bugless custom ROM is a first time success thing!
If a proper set of device tree and vendor blobs are available, may be. But our device had a crappy device tree released with is why Mike had to compile it from scratch.

Predictable. BTW, Lenovo should provide regular security and bug fixing patchs for at least a year. I wish only that Mike could make a near perfect rom (with hotspot and led working) so we can migrate from stock to Oreo.

Nothing in that article states we will get Oreo, it's all ifs buts and maybes.
No biggie
I'm not sweating it - can't see any improvements on O to get excited about and most updates usually break something in my experience. P2 is a great phone and should last another year
where did that screen grab of lenovo oreo updates come from? was it leaked?
the official list doesnt show any oreo upgrades confirmed yet:
https://t.co/ytsMrKFFye
when i tweeted lenovo they said :
Thanks for writing in. Google just recently released the Oreo update. We don't have any official list yet
Guys in lenovo update matrix.... No phone getting 3 updates in a row??
Which means no oreo update for lenovo P2 But there is a hope of getting android oreo update because i think lenovo P2 is the only phone getting 1 marshmallow update( minor bug fix update security patch) and 2 nougat updates( firmware and major bug fix security patch update) which lenovo gives due to many of people saying there are bug in the nougat update like lip sync youtube issue and lenovo gives the update
Which means lenovo developers team may be provide the oreo update?
And one thing no oreo update in lenovo update Matrix doesn't mean that it not going to provide the Oreo update and what it means that there are no plans for now!!!

Official LOS or RROS

Anyone working on official custom builds of LOS or RROS for honor 8(frd)? emui sucks.
They have unofficial ones (though the battery life sucks on both). I would recommend AOSPA (paranoid android) which I am currently using.
Wait until EMUI 8.0 With Oreo and Treble drops, then use a Treble compatible ROM, if you look at the Honor 8 Pro forums, they already use a Treble ROM which is near perfect. Should be the same for us then just a little more patience.

I don't have doubts, Honor France and Honor Poland both said that the Honor 8 will get EMUI 8.0, they also mentioned that "One does not go with the other" in other meaning "EMUI 8.0 doesn't work without Oreo" which means that EMUI 8.0 will also include Oreo. If it was only a feature update/ported features, they would have called it EMUI 5.2 like they did before with EMUI 5.0.1.
Also all Huawei/Honor phone get Treble alongside Oreo since they already use their own vendor partition which means they don't have to reformat the device (which COULD result into a brick, thats why OnePlus and Nokia won't include Treble on the Oreo updates).

Thanks for information bro, I'll wait for Oreo then. The last option is I'll have to walk to Poland ?
Not so far

Official Custom Roms

Can we expect official custom roms like Lineage OS or RROS when/if Oreo with treble is released? I don't see any of that happening on other Honor devices that already have Oreo.

Will Honor 8 get Android Pie? Question about Oreo

Does anyone know if Honor 8 will get Android Pie?
I'm also wondering about Android 8.1, will it be available for Honor 8 (frd-l09 especially)
I recently had my phone replaced but this time it refused to download the android 8.0 update both in OTA and hisuite, even after i downloaded and flashed B521 it refused to update to B562.
By refused i mean telling me it's already up to date, both OTA and hisuite.
Is it possible to force it or should I give up on OTA's and hisuite updates
Hello, first of all, I wanna say that we already have fully working and stable Pie.
There is no need getting 8.1 because there is already pie from Open Kirin. I am pretty sure we will get working Android Q this year too and because of treble, we will probably get Android 11 too.
Which stable pie rom u r using on honor 8?

Question Lineage os for poco x4 pro

Will a official version of lineage os be developed for poco x4 pro? Or should i look for other devices?
If you're desperate for a device (for daily use) and desperate for official lineage support (for certain reasons), I suggest you to look else where, oneplus or google is good for both, or of course, older xiaomi devices. Official kernel isn't out yet by xiaomi.

it seems that we wouldn't be getting kernel sources for a while since the person who used to manage the Mi code account which is the GitHub account that released kernel sources has left
Any news? Which are stable custom ROMs for Poco X4 Pro (veux)?
I'm also interested to know
Best bet would be on ArrowOS as there is already a 13.0 official version, though I'm waiting for feedback on that one before buying this seemingly nice device.
I don't see any veux/peux on their site... are you sure they have an official release? could you link it please?

ArrowOS - Downloads
Choose select device. Then poco. Then veux. Currently there is some problem with downloading files. Last week there where rom's available to download.
I hope they will fix this soon
There is indeed a LineageOS for Veux. You can get it from the "Poco X4 Pro / Note 11 Pro Plus Update"-Telegram group. Used LOS for 2 months. Worked great
