Nougat Update - Honor 5X Questions & Answers

Has anyone seen or heard of any working nougat roms for the honor 5x

You know, Android 6/6.0.1 is stil in Beta? I think we should finised this version before we start with Android 7.
But if anyone will start with Android 7for Honor 5x i would love it

Once one is released I'm sure it will have it's own thread. I doubt anyone would be using a 7.0 ROM and keep it a secret from everyone.

I don't see the need for 7.0, I mean, it's just going to boot slower. Some people just like higher numbers I guess.

This thread should be in the Q&A forum. Maybe a mod can move it.

buddy this thread heading clearly states that you can only post about ROMS. KERNELS and other Development Stuff. Please bear in mind next time do not start new threads like this in development section.

On offical side miui forum there a lots of stupid threads like "Do you want a stable version of miui 6??":cyclops:
so it's nothing in front of this .
why stupid? we can share here in this thread all the lollipop related coming news and keep the other thread only for aosp related info. i think this is useful to keep things clean and separated...
maybe OP should just edit the title to "lollipop for mi3 discussion thread" or similar
Ivan's Android 5.0 Lollipop for Mi3 W / Mi4 CONFIRMED
It seems Ivan (the Xiaomi Dev who releases AOSP ROMs built with official kernel sources for Xiaomi devices) is already working on a Lollipop build for the Mi3/Mi4.
Even though the pic clearly shows a Mi3 WCDMA (i.e. the International variant), thing is, the Mi3 and Mi4 share similar systems. So similar, in fact, that their ROMs are cross-compatible!!
Hence the Mi4 is also DEFINITELY getting an AOSP build from Ivan.
I'll make sure I keep this thread (and my Mi3W) updated.

Please don't compare MIUI forums and XDA .
XDA has its own standard .
This place is not meant for random threads like it is in MI forums .
Though I am not against the OP. Its good keep both kitkat and lollipop separated as there will be confusions.

mi2 has lollipop already.. I guess because it is a old phone and probably xiaomi don't allow ivan to release lollipop for mi3 yet...

i hope you are right.. but that wouldn't explain why mi2 had priority respect mi3.. the normal thing would have been to work on mi3 first, and then, eventually, on mi2..... i think?

I think L is very new to Ivan. He needs to test it on a backup phone, instead of his daily one

I believe Mi2's kernel is available for public. but not for Mi3.
I believe that could be a valid reason also that could be the reason why Xiaomi restricted (if at all true) Ivan from releasing it.
there's a thread at the miui board about the 5.0 rom which was started by a moderator. i highly doubt that ivan is banned/restricted from releasing the rom. the 4.4 kitkat rom is kind of a semi-official release, this will be the case with the lollipop, too, i guess. it's just that mi2 was first this time. to be honest, i don't really care about the release date as long as we get a working rom. i never put any pressure on developers, i accept that it will be released when it's ready. in the meantime, i'm happy to use the 4.4 aosp stuff.
waiting time is not frustrating. xiaomi not releasing kernel sources despite numerous promises, that is frustrating.
MI3 TD got lollipop!!:angel:
xiaobai from the Chinese Geek Forum did it.
waiting for MI3W.

Custom ROM Progress/Collaboration?

I am curious if anyone is currently working on getting CM (or any custom ROM) working for our devices. I'm not trying to bug anyone or get an ETA, but I was thinking about attempting to port CM with their tutorial.
If anyone is working on porting a ROM, or has any tips for me I'd love to talk. Thanks.
I've just started looking into porting CM over to the 5x. I've never built a port before and I'm a bit lost in the CM documentation for it. Feel free to PM me or post below with any tips or advice.

I have only built unofficial builds before, but hopefully since we have source and other Huawei devices with CM, it should be fairly easy.
If you haven't built CM for a device that it's already been ported to, I'd recommend doing that before you attempt to port it.
Good luck. I'll post any progress I make.
Am too eagerly waiting for cm on 5x .fed up of bad performance from stock .heating up too much .I was really disappointed by the heating problem .
What else I had hopes On was the on cm12.1 or 13 .
I usually check for a thread if anyone build one cm ROM for our device but still the development haven't started !

I'm *trying* to get CM 12.1 to work for our device, but I've never ported before so don't expect anything soon

It's still early. The fact that Huawei makes bootloader unlock codes available and has provided the amount of source code for the kernel that they have has allowed development here to happen much more rapidly than many devices do (particularly devices that lie out side of "volume" interest -- like an S5 or S6). I'm pretty optimistic.
The flip side is that life is so busy for me at the moment that it makes patience pretty easy (as in, if a stable cm13 suddenly became available I still would take my sweet time in getting around to flashing it). If I had more time on my hands it would probably be different.
Yes lets see how long we need to wait !
Can someone (hopefully a dev like @deadman96385, @EarlyMon @cyrusalmighty) confirm/agree that the Honor 5X's (I have KIW-24, US ver.) vendor = HONOR and codename = HNKIW-Q. I'm a little perplexed by what the codename is since HNKIW-Q doesn't seem right. I got that name from the build.prop ro.product.device like CM recommends.
Can anyone confirm that I have the vendor and codename right? Thanks.
EDIT: After looking at similar Huawei devices (Ascend Mate 2) it looks like the codename should just be "kiw". The Mate 2's actual ro.product.device = hwMT2LO3, but it's CM codename is "mt2." Because of this, I think for the CM codename should be "kiw". Does that sound right?

In theory but the kiw stands for kiwi this info is directly from Huawei and we all like Kiwi more lol. You also do have a L24 US variant

Thanks. So any custom ROM development for this device will be like Huawei/kiwi? I'm just wondering, because I'd like to know how I should be naming my files specific to Honor 5X ROM development.
EDIT:
Also, @deadman96385 do you mind sharing the partition sizes you used for building TWRP?
Name it kiwi .it sounds really great ! Moreover i dont what others are thinking on naming this device ,but kiwi is maximum minds .Go for it !

I didn't realize you had already started working on a CM port. I guess I can't really help out then. :/
Don't get me wrong, I do really appreciate all the work you do for this device.

Honor 5x ROM?

U can try in development section

Roms official for honor 9

So is there a chance to have official roms for honor 9?
https://www.xda-developers.com/honor-9-kernel-source-released/
Maybe if you looked inside the thread you posted on, There is Lineage OS & Resurrection remix so far
We have some creativ and very good devs here. They need some time for building a stable AOSP base. I know its hard to wait but they do the best to improve our Device. Remember no eta and respect the Rules its a hard job, they do it for free. Donations are Welcome aswell for the Devs
Maybe.
Just keep this in mind, it doesn't matter that much if we get official state or not, what matters the most is getting all the hardware amd features working properly

Android Oreo for mi pad?

I'm not sure that will mi pad get android Oreo unofficial though it's capable of running smoothly and google has already given the source code so let's hope to get it on our beast. Support this thread and hopefully the developers would read and help us. ?
Like your enthusiasm. But first let us get a proper build of Android N. I am sure once we get everything going for N, developers will shift their attention to O as I believe our hardware is plenty capable to run the OS.
I don't think android n stable?
The UI of android n is glitchy and some laggyness is there. ?

lol the android N in our tab is still on beta stage, don't hope for an android O.
this kind of thread shouldn't make at first place though
Developers are working with shield kernel once that is finished you can hope for Oreo
