Does anyone know if Honor 8 will get Android Pie?
I'm also wondering about Android 8.1, will it be available for Honor 8 (frd-l09 especially)
I recently had my phone replaced but this time it refused to download the android 8.0 update both in OTA and hisuite, even after i downloaded and flashed B521 it refused to update to B562.
By refused i mean telling me it's already up to date, both OTA and hisuite.
Is it possible to force it or should I give up on OTA's and hisuite updates
Hello, first of all, I wanna say that we already have fully working and stable Pie.
There is no need getting 8.1 because there is already pie from Open Kirin. I am pretty sure we will get working Android Q this year too and because of treble, we will probably get Android 11 too.
Which stable pie rom u r using on honor 8?

openkirin.net -> Downlaod -> Omni pie rom
On their website they assure that Pie builds works ONLY under EMUI 9 ?

So I just read some stuff about Treble and how it could speed up ROM development on devices that support it. Can anyone here who knows more about the subject comment on getting support to the Honor 8?

If I got it right, it needs Android Oreo official support.
Yep, Treble support depends on manufacturer. However, we first need Oreo update in order to check if Treble is supported on H8. And yes, custom ROM development will speed up. There have been pretty stable and almost bugless ROMs for Huawei devices (with no 60 fps bug, he composition, full camera support) which have Treble Support with the latest Oreo update.

I dont think Honor 8 will receive Oreo update
I hope it gets updated :crying: if not honor can kma.
Could I use the beta version? I don't think they will release oreo for honor 8. What about changing from L09 to AL00? Then I will need only TWRP with Oreo support in order to flash Treble Roms. I hope that only emui is unstable on this device. Even if the beta is unstable, could the vendor part be stable?
I think that the beta firmware for Honor 8 does support treble.
How do you think, will Huawei release updates for EMUI 5 Nougat when EMUI 8 Oreo is already released?
I'm thinking about downgrade to Nougat, where I can use magisk and exposed...

No. It is standard to forget about old Android.
Is any brand who do different?
lol I decided to downgrade to Nougat to use Magisk and Xposed and it's a right thing for me, no regret. Oreo is great, good battery (but not much compared to Nougat, fast and smooth (Nougat already has this) and has low ram usage but I cant live without Xposed, the benefits from Xposed are extremely big so Nougat is my daily home lol
Never heard of any phone maker that does this. It's Nougat or nothing
Anyone working on official custom builds of LOS or RROS for honor 8(frd)? emui sucks.
They have unofficial ones (though the battery life sucks on both). I would recommend AOSPA (paranoid android) which I am currently using.
Wait until EMUI 8.0 With Oreo and Treble drops, then use a Treble compatible ROM, if you look at the Honor 8 Pro forums, they already use a Treble ROM which is near perfect. Should be the same for us then just a little more patience.

I don't have doubts, Honor France and Honor Poland both said that the Honor 8 will get EMUI 8.0, they also mentioned that "One does not go with the other" in other meaning "EMUI 8.0 doesn't work without Oreo" which means that EMUI 8.0 will also include Oreo. If it was only a feature update/ported features, they would have called it EMUI 5.2 like they did before with EMUI 5.0.1.
Also all Huawei/Honor phone get Treble alongside Oreo since they already use their own vendor partition which means they don't have to reformat the device (which COULD result into a brick, thats why OnePlus and Nokia won't include Treble on the Oreo updates).

Thanks for information bro, I'll wait for Oreo then. The last option is I'll have to walk to Poland ?
Not so far

To use any Treble based ROM, you have to first update to EMUI 8.0. Look at all the Treble based ROMs present on OpenKirin's website. They'll provide you with the best support.

You must first upgrade to EMUI 8 to get treble support.
Then you must NOT use TWRP to flash openkirin treble ROM, as stated in their install instructions.
See their thread/site/telegram for magisk instructions.

Yea that's what I thought, Wanted to make sure.. thanks!
I'm gonna wait another week for the update to maybe be available officially and then I'll guess I'll go ahead and root my device
It seems we got the last major update with EMUI 10. My Phone still looks like new after 2 years and i'd like to check my options. Since there is almost no custom ROM development i'm trying to find out, if there are any GSI Systems working well with the P20.
Has someone tested Lineage OS or even Android 11 as GSI on the P20 L29?
HELLO BOY, I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL GSI ROMS FROM https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development and they have worked well for me, see how did you unlock the bootloader?

All of these work great: https://github.com/eremitein/treble-patches/wiki
I was told the gsis wont work on android 10. I think you'll need android 9 vendor
Thanks for your replies. I'll have a look at the treble roms and might track the progress around CAOS 11. That looks promising too!
Has anyone been able to install any GSI of android 11? any help with android 10 gsi? any rom gsi recommended?
