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.

same for honor 8..
everything works great exept for camera

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.

Is everything working or are there any bugs..???

I know openkirin said to flash the img while you have stock recovery has anyone tried installing the rom with TWRP? Also with EMUI 8 installed with TWRP, how do I install the stock recovery again?

AOSP 9.0 for OP6

Hey guys,
I'm just wondering if are there any developer working on AOSP 9.0 for our devices?
OnePlus One, 3/3t, 5/5t already received unofficial builds.
Any reply would be highly appreciated.
Have a nice day!

Sounds great to me.

You can try the phh Pie GSI nut some small stuff might be broken ( like NFC ). I've also heard that the Pixel Experience Pie GSI is on the way.
But yeah, for a phone which was even sent to devs to boost the development, it's weird that almost all older Oneplus devices already have Pie ports and this one doesn't.

thats because you can build a pie device tree from the oreo one with some fixes added, we dont have a 'finished' device tree for oreo yet so thats the reason.

For developers kernel source code now available

Alright!!! Let's get some decent ROMs, Android One lacks a bunch of functionalities I got used to on my previous OPX with LineageOS

Is there any dev cooking for mia2 lite ?

official twrp is in the works, lineage should come soon after

Got any source that official lineageos support is being considerer? The phone is on my wishlist atm (with another lineage-os supported model) and that's the kind of information that would make me choose it!

"should", most if not all treble roms have some bugs (e.g. camera) and it is not compareable to a custom rom built and optimized for a device (in terms of battery life, sot, perf, device specific mods and kernel optimizations,xiaomi did not build into theyr stock kernel).
I'm currently trying to build kernel source from xiaomi (with uber 4.9 TC) but get the following error:
"include/trace/events/msm_cam.h:19:21: fatal error: msm_isp.h: no such file or directory" though msm_isp.h is in the correct include folder. Found other kernel sources (oneplus5) with same problem which was solved by building the kernel inline (with oneplus oss aosp). Xiaomi does however, not provide a rom source. If anyone with more experience than me (i'm noob, also i dont work anything related to informatics/programming) could help this would be great.
edit: Building seems to work by defining output directory (make O=out <command>)

Sorry to kinda thread hijack the thread hijack, but I made a thread for Treble/GSI ROMs and people's experiences with them here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/using-gsi-how-experiences-gsis-using-t3838186
I'm still on stock for now, but I'm hoping some others could contribute to that thread! I will take some time at a later date to format the original post and add links ROMs that people have tried, and disclose what they report works and what doesn't.
Thank you <3

I guess so. Not sure about latest gcam version, lately I barely take photos, but mine is only buggy with night mode.
About Battery life, with new update it is very good, but probably with miui It's possible you can get a little more sot.
The remaining features, like BT, wifi...I didn't find any bug

I thought maybe there is a stable and free bug Android 9 based custom ROM.

I tested all from xda, always there was some bugs

Thanks for your answer.
I will avoid those ROMs until we get a real stable one with all of the features working. It's not worth the time...

Lineage os 8.x is stable without bugs , can use miui camera port(for portair mode dual camera) and fully working Google camera. If you dislike miui u can use it.

Upgrading from Stock MIUI to Lineage OS ARM64

Hi there, I'm sorry if I asking dumb question. Tbh I don't have enough information about this things.
I want ask question, Can I upgrade my Redmi S2 to LineageOS 16 ARM64? I don't see any information how to flash from stock ROM 32bit.
Currently using Stock MIUI Global 10.3 Stable with TWRP, Root, Magisk.
Thanks

Better is first upgrade to pie eu rom 10.3.4 then flash Los.
Using los from two days after after it's latest build release it's kinda stable with some minor bugs.
U don't need to boot 10.3.4 .
Flash pie flash los reboot.
I Did same.

I flashed Lineage 16 Unofficial for S2, release 08282019 (I had MIUI eu 10.3.4) with TWRP and everything working good (exclude Drive (no sync error) but probably problem is not about ROM)! No overheating! And GCam working too.

What if i just flash LOS with the latest global miui rom, will it still work?

based from explanation above, its should MIUI pie based, or you will get problem.
If you still want flash custom ROM from oreo based, try GSI or treble ROM as he said
