How can I try Android O Beta on Honor 8?

Has anyone tried installing Android O Beta on Honor 8? If so, could you please share the steps to do it?

there is no new updates on honor 8 about android o , we have to wait

No, it won't work. It's only for the pixels and nexus of the world.
If you could flash it on the honor 8, you'd end up with a brick.

Is there any beta campaign concerning "Oreo" and Honor 8 running now?

Honor 6X Android Oreo Update

Hi i had a question about the new Android Oreo, is the Honor 6X going to be updated or not ? And if yes then are all the models going to be updated or only select models ? I have a GR5 2017 (Honor 6X)
Model: BLL-L21 is going to be updated ?

While honor didn't confirm anything, it can be upgraded to android O.
But don't get to excited, as it may not get it (like the 5x ended up with only MM)

honor provided nougat update on honor 6x earlier than redmi note 4. Honor 6x is worldwide popular device they will definitely provide o update

yes we will get android O update by the end of this year. but honor has to decide to do the same thing like they released beta version of emui 5 for testers or direct release. andorid O is emui 5.1 on the way.

Honor didn't confirm anything so far, so these are just expectations

I hope this is true

I'll try ask honor and see their answer

I got the same model as you bll-121 gr5 2017 but why doesn't it have any custom rom or kernels or any mods

It will definitely get it

Probably not going to happen - unless it is very easy to port from Honor 8 Pro/Honor 9.

While your guess is on point (because honor 5x didn't get it), I think honor will try updating the 6x to nougat

.

I too think the same as Honor 6x is a very popular phone and it received the nougat update without much delay.
Honor 6x BLN-L22

Well they dropped the 7 because of Vulkan and Google's update policy.
As for the 6x, I don't see why they'll leave it without update to oreo.
If it happened that'll be the biggest mistake honor will do this year

Guys, I'm a little confused.
GR5 201 7 and Honor 6X are the same phone. But what about Mate 9 Lite? It is the same phone too, the only differences are the shell and the brand logo.
I mean, Huawei is working on Android 8 for the Mate 9, so probably Mate 9 Lite will get Oreo too.
In fact, when Huawei updates a phone, the lite version usually gets the same update too. Let's think about P8 and P8 lite, P9 and P9 Lite, etc.
But I'm worried because Honor 5X stopped receiving updates at Marshmallow, after only one year of guaranteed support.
I'm hoping for Mate 9 Lite update, what do you think?

Following the record of huawei and updates, it should get oreo.

I think it will get the oreo update as honor 4c had recieved two major updates too.. and if it dont get it..
Then there is honor 8 lite/p8 lite 2017/p9 lite 2017 released with nougat.. it will surely receive one major upgrade thats oreo.
And this device is almost same to ours only the difference is dual cameras and screen size..

So someone at xda can port official emui 5.1 with oreo from honor 8 lite to our 6x..

Porting EMUI will be difficult, as it isn't open sourced like MIUI

Port Kernel Nougat To Oreo

Hi why developers not port Kernel Nougat to Oreo? Why wait for xiaomi? Xiaomi is slow
Example Redmi note 3 pro have official Kernel Android Nougat Only And Have Rom in 8.1
the developers want to wait for xioami so it becomes easier for them?
I know that if the kernel is ported to Oreo everything will not work but everything can be fixed

Porting kernel from Nougat to Oreo, is a hard work that needs much time... I hope developers will finish porting in next 3 weeks

if it is difficult and it takes time but it is better to wait 3 weeks or months for xiaomi to release the kernel?

Yes, because when Xiaomi released kernel for Nougat there were many bugs in stock kernel.

"Developers want to wait for Xiaomi so it becomes easier for them"? Please open your eyes, & go through GitHub sometimes. Satya has already achieved a bootable kernel for Oreo. And even my LOS15.1 trees are uploaded, which even though doesn't boot at the moment, but at least it goes into boot animation, & stays there. Many developers are working on the logs & trying to improve it.
If you don't want to help us, it's fine. But don't put allegations without knowing.

Why do you think xiaomi will release oreo kernel? Has they ever release more than the initially released? I don't think so, will not happen for the first time with this device

Considering how terrible are most of the current device trees for tissot, it's not the best advice for a newbie to look at them

Why dont you do it then? Don't be so demanding, devs here do it for free, just patiently observe and wait for releases

The question is inappropriate, if you're not a developer at least you should know what kernel is, you cannot simply fixed every problem.

[Discussion] i am about to attempt to port miui 9 Oreo to our mi 5x

i have a idea on trying to port or merge OS's with the end goal of having the latest miui 9 Oreo base. whats your insight on this? think its possible or want to help?
i am currently experimenting on another xiaomi phone first (redmi 3s) and if it proves fruitful i will start on my mi 5X.

Good attempt. Keep it up

I'll be waiting

Android P beta for android One

The official news said that. But the only compatible device Is Mi mix 2s wtf?? This device comes with MiUI no? A1 Is the only Android One from xiaomi at the moment.

Only for project Treble [emoji26][emoji26][emoji26]

i am also confused and thinking if i am gone be desapointed or not with oficial mi a1 updates

That's only for project treble which Mi A1 is not in. No 625 cpu device will have project treble. We're out

No way in HECK I'm buying a Mi Mix 2S but to be fair I'm just happy to see Xiaomi on this list at all. And.. Oppo?

What's the problem with SD625? Why wouldn't it allow for Treble?

No, just the beta. We will get P, they said that on presentation.

Misleading title. Personally hate this kind of title. Please change the title to something like "Why is there no android P beta for Mi A1?".

really?

Where do you heard that? Android P have made project treble mandatory i guess and also Xiaomi promised to give android P for mi a1 so technically we must get project treble.

Or we just won't get P which would be violation of Android One program.

You can even sue the company in Consumer court for full refund if they fail their promise, as it was clearly written that A1 will get P while promotion.

Let's wait and see !!!

Nokia 7 Plus is part of Android One program. Actually I'm surprised that Nokia 8 Sirocco, which is Nokia's flagship, isn't beta testing Android P. I speculate that this beta program will be slowly rolled out to other phones in coming weeks. Let's wait and see what happens.

Don't know what's the problem. I just read here on XDA that SD625 cpu won't be getting Treble support.

Here on XDA. I don't think project treble is mandatory to have Android P but I can be wrong.

Why? Treble is a software feature, there is nothing about 625 not being able to support it. Treble was even ported by the community to the Redmi Note 4, and it runs on SD625 as well.

No it doesnt, on Google IO they clearly said that "Beta is coming on ... FLAGSHIP devices"
So even with treble we would not get it.
I think after release of 9.0 we will get custom firmware 2-3 months before official release.
