Is oreo and emui 8 update worth it? - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Is it worth it?
I am not excited about a single new feature of emui 8
I'll be excited if i can install Android P stock on my Honor 8.

I'm on omnirom with 8.1. it's awesome compared to nougat. And as of right now no you cannot install P on the honor 8. But, there is something in the works.

Perfectly. Stock camera also. I know on LOS i believe, you have to restart the phone to get it to connect but i haven't experienced that issue on omni. First time on omni also so i wasn't expecting much, but i absolutely love it

LOS 15 Beta 5 is pretty stable for me so far. Android Auto, camera (including honor camera app), calling, bluetooth all work as expected.

Treble Roms with Honor8

So guys now all the Honor 8 will be compatible with Treble with the Android 8. Now my question is how to flash treble roms and which roms are compatible with our Honor 8 without bricking it.
My last question is if we have treble, our honor 8 will not have annoying bugs with custom roms right? (ex: camera quality)
It's still kinda early to ask these kinds of questions, wait until oreo is out globally

Funny story. A P9 user in XDA who got Oreo did manage to install a GSI treble ROM (Resurrection Remix Oreo ROM) aid everything worked fine except the Camera. So looks like it could happen to other Kirin 95X devices as well. But hopefully it can be fixed with some tinkering.

Hi. So now when most people have official oreo (L09-C432 has it now too) via hurupdater etc. which Custom ROM to flash? I tried one from telegram openkirin group (LOS B5 preview) and it didnt boot (stuck on LOS loading). There are still only ROMs without working camera?

have you factory resetted the phone in eRecovery?
(and did you flashed the rom through fastboot without twrp?)
Because I'm using the same LOS and it is has the OG hWcamera.
LOS beta 5 is the most complete treble rom that you can use right now for honor8
Just asking are there Treble ROMs that are for Daily use and have functional camera?

OpenKirin's Lineage OS 15.1 Beta 5. This is actually a really stable build and both of the cameras work like a charm, thanks to the EMUI camera app port. This is the ONLY ROM right now that you can use as your main operating system. Please go on and try it! Reminder:
Even if the website says nothing about Kirin 950 support, this LOS version contains the microcode for Honor 8, Note 8 and Mate 8 for the 950 compatibilities. Just follow the steps on the website and you have a highly customizable stock Android experience that works like it was your phone's default OS.

Hey there...
I pulled the version from the Firmware finder app / website and followed the approach on installing based on the method provided to install unapproved ROMs.
Once installed then you can install other treble ROMs from openkirin.net..

Check openkirin.net website... they have a few treble roms there ... RR, LOS and Carbon..
They also have a telegram group and on the group they said that for Honor 8, to overcome the camera problem you will have to restart post the first boot and it should work
Hope it helps

Thanks guys for replying, now I am waiting for Oreo to drop on FRD-L09C432 it should be approved very soon, but also one question if someone already installed LOS how's the battery life compared to stock nougat?
I'm using OmniROM (via OpenKirin group) and it's rock solid and super smooth.
Battery life is perfect too. Got 6 hours SOT with 27% battery left.

Question about the rom custom for Huawei p20 eml-l29

Hello everyone I have a question . I would like to know if the custom p20 pro rom are compatible with the p20 because they have the same kirin 970 processor, and why the p20 eml-l29 does not have much developer for the custom rom :crying:
Hi. I don't have an answer to your question about the pro. And I also asked this question sometime ago. But this thread of the P20 is barely alive....
What you can do is flash a treble rom. And enjoy AOSP 8.1
At this moment I'm on this rom
https://www.google.be/amp/s/forum.x...lopment/experimental-phh-treble-t3709659/amp/
And I must say everything works veeeeeery smooth. And even better, since a couple of days there is a port of the stock camera.
https://www.google.be/amp/s/forum.x...i-p20-pro-camera-gallery-treble-t3805011/amp/
I'm using it as my daily rom for three weeks now and I'm very satisfied!
The things below doesn't work yet:
NFC
Wifi hotspot
VoltE

No. But the haptic sensor works! So home, back , swipe for recents works. In the settings you can activate smart Lock. Then you have body detection, trusted face , home and devices. With this options activated the unlocking of the device works quite well. Is not as perfect as stock EMUI but you get used to it. The smoothness of asop makes you forget those little issues ??

Xiaomi.eu stable or weekly?

Hello everyone, so I just flashed stable rom by Xiaomi.eu via unofficial twrp.
It feels cool so far but I don't see any big differences. Is the weekly better? I don't know yet. It doesn't really feel custom to me.
Any advices appreciated!

Done. Got Weekly 8.11.23. No big difference too. I don't find the hype on upgrading to Xiaomi.eu
Not a huge deal imo. (By the way 8.11.29 causing bootloop. Don't try it)
Question: When a new update comes in Xiaomi EU updater it sents you to TWRP. Now I have TWRP Removed because it's not stable. Can I update Xiaomi EU rom through MIUI recovery 3.0?

Oreo performance

How is the performance for those who updated to oreo (officially, unofficially or custom roms) as compared to marshmallow and nougat?
Did the so-called GPU Turbo make any significant improvements in demanding games like PUBG?
In nougat the antutu score was around 74k and in oreo(India) the score was 85k so performance has definitely increased. It feels slightly smoother. Indian oreo rom doesn't have GPU turbo so cannot say.
Oreo sucks. Or it did for me and some other bloke. The only thing that was supposed to be good about Oreo was the Project Treble support. But even that is useless as 9 out of 10 ROMs in the Project Treble section don't boot on Kirin Device. I tried 5 ROMs and of them only one booted and it also was broken. OpenKirin GSI's work but rooting them is tedious and patched Ramdisk never really worked for me. The only reason I can give you for waiting for Oreo or manually upgrading to it is that there are a lot of great Custom ROM out there but they require Oreo. Other than that it's trash. I mean at least stock Oreo is.
Speaking of custom Oreo ROMs they're amazing. I tried OpenKirin RROS and it was amazing. Smooth and Feature Packed. Currently I'm on a Pie Custom ROM and it's also smooth and has some features.

If I knew what I know now, I should have stayed in MIUI 12.5.
Some features are gone in MIUI 13.
So, you could have a point there keeping in A11.

I use xiaomi.eu rom, because of the camera swap of the Zoom Edition to my Poco F2 Pro.
Is super smooth and fast, nothing to complain about.
The problem is that it is based on MIUI 13, which removed the forced dark mode on some apps, for example.
