Android P - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Do you guys think once Android P is released we'll get a port of it to this phone? Cause I'm starting to love it. It's looking nice and that gesture base navigation looks cool.

We don't even have oreo yet.. ?

We have not got any Oreo yet and you would already have P. Jesus.

Anyone knows when it's coming out on Nexus 5? I'm pretty eager to try halo and PIE on my new phone
Or can someone teach me how to port it and I'll do so happily!
Thank you!

Thanks for that! Using Purity Rom as of now. Wonderful work, but I feel like a part of me is missing as there's no halo and PIE in there xD

Use the Xposed Framework. There's a module that enables HALO, and if you install the Gravity Box module, you can use PIE too.
Definitely waiting for the official one.

Cyanogenmod for Honor 8?

Does anyone know or have any insights about whether Cyanogenmod ROM will be available in the near future for Honor 8 or not? I'm really looking forward to see an AOSP ROM for this devices

It's not the same. From my experience with Kirin platforms, AOSP is easier to get working (since EMUI is based on it).
About the 'near future', no idea, if you want me to talk from my experience, I've been sending Huawei emails since December and I am still waiting lol.
Relax, explore the device, try not to scratch it and wait for the roms.
According to @svetius Huawei is close to releasing the kernel code. It's not everything needed for CM13, but it's a place to start. I'm hoping they are going to provide more than just the kernel, and they provide a device tree and vendor proprietary files as well. I know I'll be trying my hand at building cm13 as the source files are released.

Is there even a difference? Try to find a difference between the FRD-L09 kernel and the FRD-L04 one.
And no, it won't speed up rom development or whatever, we've discussed about that countless times.

This is sad cause EMUI gives me a lot of pain. Probably will sell the phone because of it.

Not sure what parts of EMUI is giving you pain, but if it's just the UI you could just change to Nova Launcher or another Launcher for now. I've been using Nova-Launcher since the moment I got it and I think it works great.

Stock UI is great. The problem is Xposed, some modules I want do not work with EMUI.

Keep faith, but don't hope for too much....
Does this phone really need cm? I don't personally like emui but the phone is such a powerhouse that I can live with it. Plus I use my phone for aleast three weeks as the manufacturer intended. And I'm leaning more on it than past emui software...
WHAT AM IM TALKING ABOUT! BRING ME CM LOL!

Can I remove EMUI on the Honor 8?

So I am looking to get a honor 8, but there is one thing that I am not so sure about, EMUI. So first of all, what are your thoughts on it, is it just a re skin of stock android or are there limitations/advantages. I am coming from IOS, and like the look of it, which i know emui is somewhat similar looking. Can I remove EMUI and go with a more stock version of android? If not what are some things I should do to get around the limitations of it? Also, can update to Nougat? Thanks!
There are more number of inbuilt features in EMUI than stock ROM. Some of the apps are inbuilt with the it. Stock ROM doesn't have every utility app that needs in day to day life like file manager, call recorder. We can download the app in play store in it. EMUI has these apps built with itself. So no need to download external app.
Limitations for EMUI is the RAM management. Im not sure about Honor 8, but RAM management is major issue in EMUI in all other models. It might be fixed soon with the upcoming updates also.
Regarding the update, you will get update till Android O for sure. But the time taken to get the update will be more than that of stock android devices. So don't worry about updates if you have the patience for it.
As of now you can't remove EMUI , as custom ROM is not available.

No other custom ROM available yet, the answer is NO for now...
But u can change Launcher if u dont like EMUI style.

Removal of the current EMUI will void the warranty. Please be aware of this and makes changes to your device at your own digression. (NS)
Alright thanks everyone for your reply, ill just probably customize the ui with different launcher and stuff and I should be fine with it.

It's really not bad. Add pixel launcher and theme by venom007 and you'll be good to go. I've been happy with it as an Android purist waiting for the pixel phone launch.
No custom ROM yet, so no
nop, not a single custom rom is available at the movement

From what I am reading on this forum, it does not seem so.
There is a thread mentioning that many developers already tried and left their projects because of the difficulties.
One can always hope but am skeptical myself.

We will still get many modded custom Roms but as for custom Roms like CyanogenMod etc, it appears that it's a monumental task because of honor 8 being a Kirin device.
I don't understand the actual nuances, just stating what I usually read.

I forked the P9 lite repo for CM13.
The P9 development is still stuck on the telephony interface, but at least it's a start.

Thanks a lot... You should make a new thread in honor 8 Android development stating this so that more people can join in.
As for me, I am just the guy who knows how to troubleshoot installation and soft-brick problems (and even that at a rudimentary level)

[Request] iOS System Animations

Hey beautiful ppl from xda !
I have been looking everywhere and found that there was a dev that ported iOS System Animations to the S6.
Is there anyone who can do this for our S7 Edge ? I had an i6s+ before and I totally loved iOS Animations, they are super smooth and good looking.
Can anyone make this ? It would be awesome !
Could you provide a link to the thread?

Some short screen-capture videos will also do for me.

Guys the thread is supposed to request a new port for our S7 Edge, the link I have shared is a port for the S6 where animations are not nice in my opinion, it's just an example.
My intention is that someone creates a new zip with iOS animations.
Installed on a s7 edge with renovate (nougat), works both ios and FlyMeOS animations! At first boot for some minutes the animations are laggy, but after that they become stable!
I can't upload videos from Tapatalk (I don't know why), if interested to video write me on Facebook, I'm Roberto Giorgini from Gorizia, Italy. Will upload soon I can
Works on latest Renovate Edge exynos! But some transitions are too faster for me. Hope to a fully port for nougat with the latest Real iOS animations . Thank you for your work.
