How do you think, will Huawei release updates for EMUI 5 Nougat when EMUI 8 Oreo is already released?
I'm thinking about downgrade to Nougat, where I can use magisk and exposed...

No. It is standard to forget about old Android.
Is any brand who do different?
lol I decided to downgrade to Nougat to use Magisk and Xposed and it's a right thing for me, no regret. Oreo is great, good battery (but not much compared to Nougat, fast and smooth (Nougat already has this) and has low ram usage but I cant live without Xposed, the benefits from Xposed are extremely big so Nougat is my daily home lol
Never heard of any phone maker that does this. It's Nougat or nothing

Is it going to get the Oreo upgrade or stay with nougat?
There's already a thread about Oreo for 6X. https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/honor-6x-android-8-0-oreo-update-t3667647 nothing confirmed yet anyway.
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
I was wondering if there is an emui 8.1 update for our device. Huawei said honor 6x will be updated to emui 8 so i am guessing they will go all the way. From what I can tell, 8.1 brings redesigned gallery, camera and (maybe) face unlock. I have rebranded to BLN-AL20 and in firmware finder there is no update, so just wondering.
There's already an official Oreo flashable firmware on xda (base version 8.0, not 8.1), but the procedure is a little time-consuming and involves rebranding your phone to a BLN-L22.
The firmware is still beta though, and is meant to be used only by official beta testers. Also, if I'm not wrong, it should be the India target version. Still universally usable as you can change your language but probably not meant for your region (unless you live in India).
I personally am using it and it is really stable, but not perfect.
There's the link for rebranding.
And here's the rom.
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?

ahahahahahaha you must be new here.
Last OpenKirin update for Honor 8 was in February. Dream on.
Is it laggy? Is battery better or worse than on 9.1?
And does Huawei P20 have official dark mode on EMUI 10?

yes with android 10 and 10 is faster than 9.1 but 9.1 have better battery life
last time I updated my phone to android 10 (.161), eveything is a messed, it lags and overheats and the camera quality is not good as when it was on android 9.1. By the way, I rolled back my phone to android 8.1 because I feel like the camera on this version is the best for me. I'll just wait for the finale update of Android 10 and hope there will be a big improvement especially with the camera. (Huawei P20 EML-L29)
