Is it possible to flash custom rom on Mate 8?

Hello, I am wondering If its possible to make custom rom (aosp) working on Mate 8? I read, that its not possible coz of Kirin processor. So how is it? Will be this phone supported with cyanogen for expample?

well, both the kernel and the recovery sources have been made public by huawei, so theres already a good baseline for ya... lets see how the devs will treat the mate 8 in the long run

Lineage OS for Huawei Mate 9?

EMUI is MIUI, just "copy my homework and change it a lil bit". I love MIUI but clean/stock Android, like on my OnePlus 3T is the best.
Whats about Lineage OS and Huawei/Kirin device, like on the Mate 9? The same problem like on Exynos devices?
Regards

Didnt know emui was miui

We couldn't​ do anything, cause lack of kernel sources.

Guess the main problem is the unpublished kernel and missing device trees.
it took months to unofficially​ port lineage for the p9 lite. Meticulous did it by reverse engineering because he earned a sponsored device for his awards. Maybe he would do it here too but the mate 9 is very expensive compared to the p9 lite.
But just the fact our mate is running a Kirin doesn't shoot it out. P9 series are running on Kirin too

I use MIUI before Huawei even build devices. It's just the old MIUI, what you get on EMUI.

I saw a lot phones without kernel source but with almost perfect port. Is there more than kernel source?

What do you mean by 'device trees' ?
There is a buggy LineageOS 14.1 image for Honor 8 and they also don't have 4.x kernel sources.
Has somebody tried to boot the HiKey960 4.4 kernel to test the core CPU support ?
It is useless for the phone operation, but will be a good starting point for kernel development.
Closed-source firmware blobs at https://github.com/96boards-hikey/tools-images-hikey960 with very high probability were taken from the Mate 9 codebase.

So it is possible but it's really hard to port it?

Lineage OS available?

Hello!
Is there Lineage OS already available for the P20?

Any actual roms?

Are there even any roms out for the P20, not liking the stock and don't really want to get a launcher

No, not yet and i doubt that there will be scene because huawei is locking the possibility to unlock bootloader

P20 can still be unlocked

You'd think that some people would want a custom ROM though

There are a lot of Treble roms available for P20 (Pixel Experience, RR, LOS).. just take a look on the internet !

I have the GSI Lineage running on my P20, with the caveat that i have to run V3. V4 gets stuck on the lineage logo. Haven't tried the honor view version yet.

Would you recommend switching to LineageOS/AOSP? Why (not)?
Anything you miss in particular? Is the camera quality bearable?

There's a quite buggy port made by phhusson, but ported from Mate 9 so pretty useless..
The camera quality is actually bad. It is the main reason I'm not switching to LOS.
The notch is not supported at all, some texts and icons are hiding behind it.
No FP sensor too.
I've got no issues for booting Treble roms with EMUI 8.1, but some are getting issues with 8.0
I opened this on phhusson's github, you can take a quick look.

I like clean and uncluttered. So i buy my phones with unlocking and custom romming in mind, as i have a choice of software at that time. It's a personal preference.
That said, i find something that is closer to AOSP, always recommended. I'm sure there are people that don't agree. Tastes differ and i like to have freedom and own my device. I paid for it, so i can do with it what i want.
I don't miss anything, i don't have high quality standards for camera and such on a phone. There is specific equipment for specialized tasks.
It is good enough to send the odd photo or video on my messaging app.

Thanks Androlark.
Did you try the phhusson's GSI LineageOS version or LuK1337's Unofficial LineageOS? Is there any difference between them?
Are the bugs you mentioned fixed?
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/issues/39
If I had a spare phone, I would have tried these treble roms on my device, but P20 is my main daily driver. But, I (and we all) would love to have a fully working LineageOS for P20. I am watching this space closely.

Android 10 ROMS for our beloved P2?--- A Discussion.

Does anyone know any developer who would be willing to make android-10 ROMS for our P2 or is Pie the last update for this awesome phone?

Hopefully not as the developers said that as long as they have this phone working they'll keep the development going. :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Well, I hope there will be future development for this phone too. I'm using one for more than 2 years, and battery still rocks, it sure lasts more than any flagship !

as far as i can tell, mike is working on lineage os 17.
so at least one android 10 rom might be coming soon

Yea bro same, more than 2.5 years and still i get SOT of 6-7 hours.
Whenever i think of buying a new phone, i look at my p2 and i stop. Its still so smooth cuz of the ROMS and charges under 1 hour and 15 minutes.
This phone is the best purchase i ever had. So i want development to keep going on, atleast for 1 more iteration of Android. Then i'll maybe buy Redmi K20 pro next year cuz it'll also have good development in future.
@Erazor84 that's good news brother. But I'll wait for AOSP xtended Android-10 (if it ever comes)
Bcuz i used their Oreo build and now using pie, and i found them the best among all of'em.

My guess would be at least 2 more ROMs :fingers-crossed: one from @VladSor and second from @Fullbustah as they are consistent with porting/ developing the ROMs such as Havoc, Syberia, Bootleggers and POSP for P2.
But of course, we need a reliable vendor upgrade first.

Xiaomi redmi note 4 which has the same Specs has just got lineage 17.

Generic System Image (GSI) is pure untouched Android released by Google for treble enabled phones with a designated vendor partition.
Semi GSI (SGSI) is a customized GSI with features and name of a custom ROM and it can also be installed on treble enabled phones with a designated vendor partition.

The following url https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p2/development/rom-aosip-derpfest-t3981193 will give You access on this forum to the thread concerning AOSiP-10-DerpFest-Alpha-kuntao-20191009.zip which is the first alpha version of the first Android 10 custom rom dedicated to the Lenovo P2.
If You are interested in testing this Android 10 rom, just follow the installation instructions given on the first page of the thread.
If I well understood, I think that someone, maybe mikeioannina ?, should now be working on a Android 10 rom LineageOS 17. If this is the case, all we can do is to be patient.
You will note that from now on we must say Android 10 instead of Q as asked by Google. So, next year, the next version of Android will be Android 11 and not R.

Below is the lineageos github page for Kuntao (Lenovo P2a42), the branch is on 17.0, but it seems it hadn't been developed on in 4 months, but i don't know how these things go...

Hello I've tried all of the versions on my KUNTAO, at the beggining very laggy now better, there are some ROMS which you can use w/out a problem if you can live w/out some of the features like the FP GESTURES OR AA CONNECTIVITY.
HAVOC 3.0 (NOT THE TREBLE VERSION) to me is the best option till this post furthermore I don't know.
CHHERS

So, We are half a year further from the last post in this thread, any news on the stability and performance of the android 10 rom's? Im right now on Crdroid Pie ROM and except fingerprint kicking the bucket everything is working flawlessly. Any stable and well performing 10 rom's out there, or should we wait a little longer?
