Beta update only available for Tester.
Apply become a tester using IMEI, if your IMEI selected you will get the beta update.

I'm still waiting for an A1 delivery, so I can't test...
Could interested beta testers ask for Galileo satellites support? I think it's worth it.
Thanks!

I think they will not be releasing Oreo anytime soon.
Probably don't have enough testers with them, so they have called for testers.
Basing on the feedback received, I think they will make necessary corrections and release the final 8.0

people who got oreo beta, do share your experience with it.

Any customized themes that are compatible with EMUI 5.0 on the Honor 8 phone? Seems VUi is still on 4.1, isn't it?

I ran the beta for a while and I wasn't able to find any during the month or so I used it. I imagine it'll be a little bit after its official release before we see theme support.

This quote from "techtimes.com" says:
The Android 7.0 Nougat update will take the Honor 8 phone's build from FRD-L02C635B130 to FRD-L02C635B360.

It's kind of strange since I've been running L04-*B360 (same build as mentioned, but US variant) for ~couple of weeks now via the Charles update thread. It runs great, but I would be surprised if they released the exact same version of the beta I'm on as the "final release" version.
If it's the same version I'll just stick with the b360 build I'm on. I suppose it's possible that each "region" version of the H8 will wind up on some slightly different version of EMUI but that doesn't really sound right either.

it's very likely this B360 is the final build this round. all it's needs is android pay fixed (Google authorization)

So there's no point in waiting for the final release in February? Just apply for beta, install 360 version?
That'd be disappointing by honor
Huawei is really starting to tick me off. That want to be "bigger than apple" but for updates it seems like North America is in the back of the cue.
Seriously, release those updates and release that source code so we can get custom Roms running properly.
Otherwise Huawei phones will not be on my shopping list again.
You make it very hard to like you.

They seem to have a very small team working on the US Beta (maybe only 1 person even)
the Beta releases were:
2016.11.11 FRD-L04C567 FRD-L04C567B317
2016.11.24 FRD-L04C567 FRD-L04C567B320
2016.12.08 FRD-L04C567 FRD-L04C567B324
2017.01.03 FRD-L04C567 FRD-L04C567B360
With a couple of small same number fixes in between
At this rate I don't see much else getting done before February.
Many have already gone up to the 360 beta using this method why wait ?

Yes it's a real shame.
I have been told by them via Google+ that those of us on the UK beta program will be being an update in the next few days.
It won't be the final but will be an update of some kind.
I will post on here when I get it

OREO testers, unite!

Guys,
I'm dying of curiosity. Will you guys post here please, does OREO fix the most common bugs that are torturing us?
Meaning:
- Scroll stuttering (when moving slow)
- Audio hissing
I think those 2 are the main ones, at least for me. When playing games, the multi touch also freaks out, but i guess it has to do with scroll stuttering too?
Can't wait to know...
are u beta tester?
if yes did you capture the ota link?
i applied for it but as it seems i wasn't lucky (still gotta get my hands on it) :fingers-crossed:

It's a nice idea, but probably they won't share with us, most of them are simply people without knowledge or leachers , no true sense of community there

Or they simply had to agree to keep the beta image private and exclusive to the group of testers. Just wait for a public beta or stable version, it shouldn't take long..

What would you do with OTA? It can't be applied via ADB sideload.

Guys u people can simply create a backup from twrp of the freshly installed Oreo ROM and share with us here. It's simple no one has to make zips and all cause it will automatically be in zip form.

Hisuite is probably best for backup.
The beta however seems to be rolling out differently depending on location. India received it a couple days after people joined. China received it instantly. And Europe is still waiting even though users have joined. It's a waiting game now.
Update is very buggy at present not suitable as daily driver...
rolled back to magic 2.1.0 successfully via Hisuite
Big Camera improvements noticed in new beta build
night mode seems to be improved a.lot
HDR too improved
system wide dark mode
and many more
