If you want full hardware support for camera, Smart Key etc., then choose OpenKirin treble ROMs - and I bet you want it.

Thanks for the clarification, this is really confusing!
Anyway, I see the Indian version has different camera as the China/Global version. Will there probably be compatibility issues say for folks who flash a ROM developed on an Indian version to a Global version in the future?
Yeeeeaaa, more custom rom will come to whyred
Maybe PE, AOSP, Crdroid, Mokee and many more ?

You don't need to worry about. Devs will add support to RN5 China/Global as well. RR and LIneage devs already added cross-compatibility. They just differ in camera, other hardware is same

But remeber. LineageOS and RR are universal for all WHYRED version. I'm not entirely sure about official MIUI builds. China and Global are compatible. That's for sure. Flashing China or Global MIUI build on Indian version and vice versa might cause camera app to FC and break camera functionality (at least flashing Indian Android 7.1.2 based MIUI on China model did that). Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong

Great to hear that there's no incompatibility whatsoever anymore! Just ordered my RN5 global yesterday. Not really a fan of MIUI, I'll be waiting to see more custom ROMs to pop up.

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.

First of all. Every ROM out there can be rooted. And secondly, you need to have stock EMUI 8. Follow the instructions in this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/stable-pie-rom-honor-6x-t3863562
For ROM use RROS ZIP and for recovery use this.

But you have upgrade the phone to Emui Oreo before flash the openkirin rom.
