Hi i had a question about the new Android Oreo, is the Honor 6X going to be updated or not ? And if yes then are all the models going to be updated or only select models ? I have a GR5 2017 (Honor 6X)
Model: BLL-L21 is going to be updated ?
While honor didn't confirm anything, it can be upgraded to android O.
But don't get to excited, as it may not get it (like the 5x ended up with only MM)
honor provided nougat update on honor 6x earlier than redmi note 4. Honor 6x is worldwide popular device they will definitely provide o update

yes we will get android O update by the end of this year. but honor has to decide to do the same thing like they released beta version of emui 5 for testers or direct release. andorid O is emui 5.1 on the way.
Honor didn't confirm anything so far, so these are just expectations
I hope this is true

Probably not going to happen - unless it is very easy to port from Honor 8 Pro/Honor 9.

While your guess is on point (because honor 5x didn't get it), I think honor will try updating the 6x to nougat
.
I too think the same as Honor 6x is a very popular phone and it received the nougat update without much delay.
Honor 6x BLN-L22
Well they dropped the 7 because of Vulkan and Google's update policy.
As for the 6x, I don't see why they'll leave it without update to oreo.
If it happened that'll be the biggest mistake honor will do this year
Guys, I'm a little confused.
GR5 201 7 and Honor 6X are the same phone. But what about Mate 9 Lite? It is the same phone too, the only differences are the shell and the brand logo.
I mean, Huawei is working on Android 8 for the Mate 9, so probably Mate 9 Lite will get Oreo too.
In fact, when Huawei updates a phone, the lite version usually gets the same update too. Let's think about P8 and P8 lite, P9 and P9 Lite, etc.
But I'm worried because Honor 5X stopped receiving updates at Marshmallow, after only one year of guaranteed support.
I'm hoping for Mate 9 Lite update, what do you think?

Following the record of huawei and updates, it should get oreo.
I think it will get the oreo update as honor 4c had recieved two major updates too.. and if it dont get it..
Then there is honor 8 lite/p8 lite 2017/p9 lite 2017 released with nougat.. it will surely receive one major upgrade thats oreo.
And this device is almost same to ours only the difference is dual cameras and screen size..

So someone at xda can port official emui 5.1 with oreo from honor 8 lite to our 6x..

Porting EMUI will be difficult, as it isn't open sourced like MIUI

Oh okk.. then i hope n wish it will get Oreo.. as im planning to buy itt
Title says it. Does any of the devs working on an update for any custom ROM? LineageOS's update is still from June. Any news on OpenKirin team with a new version of RROS?
it does appear the devs have possibly moved on with the exception of crdroid. doesnt surprise me as the honor 8 is over a year old. I may update to the honor 9 soon.
its also possible they are waiting for oero to drop next month.
There working on Android O.
So I just read some stuff about Treble and how it could speed up ROM development on devices that support it. Can anyone here who knows more about the subject comment on getting support to the Honor 8?

If I got it right, it needs Android Oreo official support.
Yep, Treble support depends on manufacturer. However, we first need Oreo update in order to check if Treble is supported on H8. And yes, custom ROM development will speed up. There have been pretty stable and almost bugless ROMs for Huawei devices (with no 60 fps bug, he composition, full camera support) which have Treble Support with the latest Oreo update.
Honor 8 not supported by project treble

I dont think Honor 8 will receive Oreo update
I hope it gets updated :crying: if not honor can kma.
Could I use the beta version? I don't think they will release oreo for honor 8. What about changing from L09 to AL00? Then I will need only TWRP with Oreo support in order to flash Treble Roms. I hope that only emui is unstable on this device. Even if the beta is unstable, could the vendor part be stable?
I think that the beta firmware for Honor 8 does support treble.
According to this report Honor 8, Honor 8 Pro and Honor 7X will get the Oreo update soon
http://www.news18.com/news/tech/hon...-to-get-android-oreo-update-soon-1600563.html
Honor smartphones including Honor 8, Honor 8 Pro will soon be receiving Android Oreo update in an upcoming version of Honor's in-house operating system - EMUI, running on the smartphones. As per sources, the smartphones are next in line after the Huawei sub-brand rolled out the Android Oreo update for its two other offerings, the Honor 9 and the Honor V9.
Along with Honor 8 and Honor 8 Pro, the recently-launched Honor 7X will also receive the Oreo update soon. Though the Chinese smartphone manufacturer has not disclosed the timeline for the update, it is expected to be delivered to the Honor devices by the end of December 2017. Honor has already rolled out the EMUI 8.0 based on Android Oreo for Honor 9 and Honor V9.
Once these smartphones receive the Oreo update, the smartphones will have picture-in-picture mode, notification channels, notification dots, smart text selection, and more such features.

If it does, it probably won't be until their new models with Oreo have been out for a while.
Hope we will start getting the updates soon

Bruh The Honor 8 Lite Is Weaker Than The Honor 8. If The Honor 8 Lite Gets It, That Means That The Honor 8 Will Get It Too.
The Mate 8 Should Be Getting Oreo Too Because It Has Kirin 950 I Think.
wellllllllllllllllllll, do somebody have any original articles, that refers to the sources? I totally confused with this. Someone says Honor 8 will get, someone not. How to understand this situation. UUUUUUHHHHHHHHHH
Please, someone tell me this is a f**** joke. H8 Lite? Really? Honor is kidding us. In the first they stayed in silence, then confimed the update, then silence, then confirmed and then again "under testing phase" ...and now we are excluded? We aren't stupid. If honor 8 lite gets it it is IMPOSSIBLE that H8 hasn't passed the tests, because it has better hardware (based on Kirin processor, though). Someone explain this to me, please.
when we get oreo 8.1 custom rom for honor 8???
...lower budget mobiles like redmi,moto, leeco le max, lenovo etc already got pixel experience rom,,,
when we get for our honor 8 device
The developers are waiting for EMUI 8 to drop out because it will likely bring treble support. This will make it way easier to make ROMs.
Dont compare SD devices with Kirin one. Is much harder to develop a rom for Kirin. So if you want custom roms, go for SD
There is an Oreo discussion there already in our forum. Ask there, it's been discussed already. https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/honor-8-oreo-discussion-thread-t3735941
