Oreo Beta EMUI 6 feedback

As most of us have not been able to partake in the Oreo Beta program it would be nice if we could get some feedback from those lucky users that were able to get into the beta program.
Have you been able to unlock and root the Beta firmware?
What problems have you had?
Which new features do you like?

Unlock yes, root no.
Going system root might work. Systemless will be tricky as the boot partition is split into a ramdisk partition and a kernel partition. And some files that used to be in ramdisk could be in /system now, I haven't investigated much (this is the case with OPO3 Oreo).
But I like Oreo so I hope Magisk will work with it in the future.

Thanks for the feedback.
Well I only need root to get rid of garbage app Huawei and other vendors install. In any case I can't imagine that SuperSu and Magisk won't figure it out.

I joined the beta program maybe 8 days ago got accepted but still waiting for the update to come on the phone....

I downloaded the Huawei Beta App here:
http://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/fut/
Have applied, according to the app I am 4/500. The App looks very professional and well-designed. Looking forward to trying out Orea early, bravo Huawei. I'm not a rooter etc, will be using as a regular heavy user.

I rebranded to L29C636 from L09C34 a few weeks ago and just applied for the Australian Mate 9 Oreo update. Was 5/500, get in quick people

I am on Oreo since a week approx. and I am experiencing a limited responsiveness of the touch screen, especially on the bottom part esp. when navigation bar is hidden....anybody else making this experience?

Currently downloading B321a for C432. Going to check if I can get magisk working and if it's like OPO3 Oreo where stuff was moved from ramdisk to /vendor...

Yes I can unlock the phone with the Beta android O. I flash the twrp from:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4...Eh2aDFLM3JlYkU
Then I flash the supersu from :
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962021903579485056
I now have root on my android o. It is emui 8 not emui 6.
Make sure you flash twrp correctly by check out this page : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/preliminary-twrp-3-1-1-0-mate-9-emui-8-t3687622

I have no problem with android o so far. However I have not used all features available with android o. I do not really care for the new features of android o or emui 8 (picture in picture, hide navigation bar, floating dock,...). In fact I like the settings of the emui 5 better.

Yes, for whatever reason there is no 'a' mentioned under build number. The a is in the internal Huawei build number so FunkyHuawei shows it like that.
Under further review, the phones do report the 321a to FunkyHuawei's server as the installed version regardless, so if you finished the install it is 321a. Nothing to worry about.

Android O for C636 exists, but it's an older version from September, branded as EMUI 6, before they decided to make it EMUI 8. Probably newer beta one coming soon. There are new ones for C900 (hw/normal) branding, Latin America branding, Russia branding... I just haven't released them.

I didn't install it yet, just downloaded update.zip and those. Mainly to check vendor image without installing it...
Edit: oh, duraaraa already answered

I got all the three Oreo files too via the HiSiute method, since even with a correct DNS setting, wherever I could stick it I got "Package information download failed". Installed via the HWOTA successfully though. The Oreo test build is quite buggy when it comes to Wireless tethering and LTE speeds. Feels much slower then my N European 194 build so far. Shows "Phone Overheating" a lot too, something I never saw on my N build either. Have yet to see how long the battery will last. See few differences in the camera, maybe added zoom in raw mode. Still no Monochrome Raw, or 1080p Timelapses.

[STF-L09C432] B180 available

Firmware 8.1.0.128(636) is awesome

I just updated my phone to the .128 (636) firmware and the improvement in the camera app is so huge compared to previous version. I was on .107(636). AI now detects the scene more consistently and apply the HDR extremely well. In my opinion the dynamic range is on par with pixel 2 or even slightly better with this version. I can shoot handheld night scene at shutter speed 1/24 without using the night mode which is usually at 4 seconds shutter speed (harder to handhold). The only way to get this firmware right now is via funky huawei though

I did not pay attention to the front camera because i hardly use it, the photos from the front facing camera looked the same to me. I am sure they did something to it too because the rear camera difference is huge, looks like the change the AI HDR algorithym or something.

If you unlock your bootloader and install TWRP it breaks Google Pay, right? (might consider this method if it doesn't).

is this new fw rootable with the original method? (magisk image)

It doesn't break google play... Depending where you are it voids your warranty.
Well you'll have to hurry if you decide to do it... Since they'll stop providing unlock codes soon. Just go to the uk support chat and ask for a bootloader unlock code, you should get it on you email in 2 days if they agree if not jjst go onto chat again and say you didn't recieve it... They should be able to provide it to you.

Lucky you, when I got mine it the site was down.
But I would really recommend doing it if you know yourself to be careful with your phone. The updated firmware is worth it...since it can be quite some times till huawei might push the update to your device/country/region. etc. so that's the only way to actually keeping up to date without having to wait a lot..

AL00 here with the latest update about 30 hours ago.

Needed that update for the camera. 4k was pretty bad. Better now. I just want home screen to rotate to landscape stock launch. My M10P does it . Come on Huawei

I just got it. I opened the app HiCare and hit the update button, and the update appeared

You may want to post the steps to unlock so any developers if any can possibly work on a recovery.

Not sure. It state L29. I think it is international or global version.
It came unlock when I got it. Let me ask how they manage to unlock the bootloader.

Hope we dont get penalized for being early adopters (maybe like htc cid change?) Hardware should be the same right?
Stupid and probably unlikely to work but can we restore the UK backup? The hisuite has rom flashing in it natively also.... There's also an option internally to flash/upgrade
