Hello,
Please excuse me in advance for my wobbly English. I am French and I do not speak your language
It seems that for the Honor 5X, we will not get Android Nougat. My wife had the update on her Honor 5C and I must say that version 5 of EMUI pleases me very much. Already I like version 4, the last one makes me look.
My question is: is it possible to get EMUI 5 through a custom rom or is it impossible?
Thank you.

It's not. Sadly. There are a lot of AOSP custom roms though.
I suspected it but I still asked the question in case.
It is true that there is quite a lot of custom rom and it is not easy to sort especially that as I said, I am French so I have trouble to fully understand the content of these rom.
I hesitate to go through a custom rom with Android 7 because I would lose EMUI. Unless there is one that resembles this overlay.
MIUI is the closest one to it, maybe if someone port it to the 5x

emui is quite pleasing , but custom roms are much smoother,
and yes, honor 5x has the biggest development among honor phones

Just because I appreciate EMUI a lot. It's hard to explain but I have a good feeling with this overcoat.
I would like to go through a custom rom to be up to date on Android but I would lose what makes for me one of the charms of Honor 5X ie EMUI.
I'm tempted to test Lineage but it's the Android stock visually and it does not attract me much, I find it a bit austere.
Sure, I could add a lot of applications like launcher but that's the kind of thing I prefer to avoid. The goal is not to take the risk that it slows down the phone.
Ps: I hope my english remains understanding for you.

I understand this desire. Back when I was a Samsung fanboy, I always wanted the look of TouchWiz in every upgrade. Even more with the release of GraceUX.

It's not really a matter of being a fanboy of a brand because the Honor 5X is my very first Honor so my experience on this brand is minimal.
It's just that compared to what I had before, it mainly changes from a stock rom and I find the overcoat rather practical and pleasant visually even more when I see version 5 of EMUI on the 5C of my wife lol

Yes indeed it's better compared to other OEM skins. I just hope they stayed away a little from the iOS look.

But , i suppose emui 5 should be on 5x instead of 5c . But what not , they just did there good for hisilicon chip
It's just a shame because the 5X and the 5C are very close technically but according to my information, it is because of this policy that Honor makes only one major update on its devices and since the 5X has already had ...
And it's all the more sad that the security updates do not follow either. If I remember correctly, we have barely two and the last and the last fix I have is September 1, 2016.
Honor comes out of very good devices accessible but the follower is really not exemplary. I did not expect any miracles in view of the prices but I am still disappointed that the devices are so quickly abandoned.

I dont if u have noticed this , honor had updated its kirin chips to emui 5 . Since 5x uses sd615 , they dint did it.
A recent update? If so, I have not had anything since September 1, 2016. Of memory, it was mainly for a fix related to the processor.
Despite your information, it seems that the update of Android 7 and EMUI 5 is not topical for the 5X.

He was talking about the Kirin chipset made by Huawei. It seems that they only update the devices to EMUI 5 those which run in Kirin. While Honor 5X is using Snapdragon chipset.
Sent from my Honor 8 using XDA Labs
Please excuse me. As I use a translator, I misunderstood the sentence and I also forgot that the 5X does not use the Kirin unlike the 5C.
But I doubt that the Snapdragon processor is the problem because when upgrading to Android M, the 5X went from EMUI 3 to 4.
It's just that Honor does not have the policy to do a serious follow up of his products.

i would say... depends.
what do you value in the phone? what do you like or don't like?
i'm not a fan of curved edges, so, if it's between Honor9 and S7edge, my choice is obvious -- Honor9.
processor and storage wise, i believe honor9 is the better one too.

Hi
I mean no offense to any providers, but I seriously think that fancy phones are a waste of money.
Still, if you wanna go and get one, I would recommend the S7 as the robustness, look and feel and the service the phone is offered by the company.
If you want more features and power, Honor 9 is the way to go!

Chinese version
Hi,
I bought the honor 9 in a preorder sale.
But now I have some concerns regarding the version. it is a Chinese multi-language ROM, I use Hebrew and English fonts, should I encounters any problems? how does a Chinese version affect me?
Is there a way to change ROM?
Is it rooted?
Thanks in advanced.

Hey guys n00b question: what kind of roms are currently available for the honor 9, and how easy is to root/unlock bootloader? Following that question to potential Pokemon players, does root permissions block use of the game and android pay?
Thanks
Side note the Honor 9 has different models, China, Europe, US, India to ne a few. Now to get the full radio band for your network provider you need to check it support your network provider if your get the device from outside of you regional zone.
If the Honor 9 radio bands are set up like the Honor 8s well your going to have difficulty depending on network provider.
Best thing to do if buying from say China is to make sure you buy one that fully work back in your country..
What kind of storage does the honor 9 use? I can't find any information on it. Was hoping for UFS obviously but considering it isn't mentioned anywhere I presume it's emmc 5.1

Somewhat. I just got it today (4GB 64GB WiFi). When I was in the setup it said "something MoKee stopped working" but I haven't noticed any issues related to it yet. The Camera is kind of out of bounds (navbar is above it, hiding part of the button), and the quality leaves a lot to be desired, but in general things work. Play Store came preinstalled, and I've had no other issues so far.
One thing that annoys me is that in the YouTube app, I can't zoom in the video to fill out the screen like I can on my Pixel 2 XL. Another interesting fact is that Substratum came preinstalled, though I guess that's a MoKee feature? I never used that Rom so I have no clue.

There is mokee rom for mi pad 4. My pad from aliexpress arrived with it. I flashed the official ROM myself.
I just got my Mi Pad 4, with unlocked bootloader, a "MIUI Global 9.6 | Stable 9.6.7.0(ODJCNFD)" ROM with gapps.
I don't know what it this ROM. It supports multiple languages, but for example only had Google pinyin keyboard (chinese + english).

Seems like there are two fairly legit ROMs that can be installed at this point:
Mokee Multilanguage "Stock Android" - https://download.mokeedev.com/?device=clover
MIUI China Stable (also with English) - http://en.miui.com/thread-3538488-1-1.html
I would be very suspicious of a ROM that says it is a Global version as apparently this doesn't exist yet for Mi Pad 4 (and may not at all in future)

So just found out that amazon is selling the realme x50 pro 5g, cheaper than the oneplus 8 and it's got me very interested in this phone. Just wanted to find out if anyone has come from oneplus 8,if so what are your thoughts please?
Yap me I had a OnePlus 8 for around 2 weeks. And I had a lot of trouble with it, I had mobile internet interrupting 5g does not work when I was in a area where 5g is available and so on. I sent it back to Amazon and order me the x50pro, is 100€ cheaper and runs way better,faster and smoother then the OnePlus 8 :good:

Really that's good to hear. So in your opinion, the realme x50 pro 5g is faster than the oneplus?how about the sound for speakers?. Any annoying things which you've found, which are better on the oneplus?
The x50pro is all in n all the better phone the sound is great 5g works as it should in areas where 5g is available. Fingerprint unlock is also faster as on the OnePlus 8, for me is the x50pro the better phone in all areas. I have no regrets about buying and changing from OnePlus to realme :good::good:
Sent from my Realme RMX2075 using XDA Labs
I haven't had a OnePlus 8, but I was very tempted to buy the phone, then I looked on OnePlus Community forums and found that loads of people have been having so many issues. So I bought the Realme X50 Pro 5G and I have to say it hasn't disappointed me. Camera isn't the best for night sight phots, I'll be honest but no brands are. Gcam is also working and overall, I don't think you'll have an issue with the phone.
If you are looking at modifying (rooting / unlocking bootloader / custom roms etc.), I'm not sure how well this phone is going to do in comparison to a larger scale company as OnePlus.
Also, BBK Electronics owns OnePlus, Vivo, Oppo and Realme so the big difference is software, I was doubtful of the Realme UI (ColorOS), however it is actually just a nice skin. Updates from what I've found seem alright for Realme devices on a whole (industry standard anyway) and yeah, I'm loving the phone.

That's correct. I have the CN version and I had to disable the stock message app via ADB to be able to set Google message as the default. However, every time a message comes in, I get a warning pop-up.
Installed Google messages and set it as default, no issues or warnings here if a sms comes in :good:

On my UK device, I installed Google messages, opened the app and I could easily change the default messaging app (not sure if in the app or under default apps (settings). But it was easy, and to hide the other used the built in app lock to hide it from the launcher. Chat features / RCS are working fine for me on UK networks.

I currently own a Realme Q, but I wasn't able to go to the Global rom and I don't like the Chinese apps. If I install something through Google Play, it is like it fights with the Realme store and it gets messy.

Android Auto doesn't work.
Can't change default messages app without using ADB and even then, I get a warning message every time a text comes in.
Can only set 5 apps to autostart. As a result, not all apps gives push notifications.
Sometimes after a call, when I press the hang-up button, the dialer closes but the call continues. Only way to end is to turn on airplane mode.
Changed the default launcher but sometimes it goes back to the stock launcher.
The global version of the Legion phone 2 I bought from Giztop just showed up like 10 minutes ago. I haven't finished checking it out yet, but so far it looks like they have actually been able to put the global rom on the chinese version of the phone. Fingerprint works and so does the front camera which I think was an issue with the previous Legion phone. Here are some screenshots of what I have seen so far during setup
So the global version comes with all the usual Google apps set to default and as far as I can tell nothing from Lenovo. The fingerprint reader is noticibly faster than the Chinese version though I don't know if that is from the software difference or not. It was never very good no matter how many times I redid it on the Chinese rom. The factory screen protector also feels different so that may cause the change as well. Always on display still goes to sleep after a few seconds so that is no different. Notifications so far are working correctly without any kind of configuration required. I also tried changing the launcher. It can be done, but when you swipe an app and hold it just dissapears instead of showing all the running apps. So it sort of works.

12.5.102 ST, February 1 2021 security patch. Do you also have a problem with the Google search bar? I can't remove it. Also the camera and Legion app have a strange ZuiSkd name.
But further it's a great device. Very fast, great speakers, almost stock Android.

But further it's a great device. Very fast, great speakers, almost stock Android.

My version is 12.5.062. Does the always on display work properly in your version? I have the same issue with the Google search, which is annoying since it takes up alot of room. That reminds me, the camera app in the Global rom is way better than the Chinese version. It is faster and has a way better layout for image editing.

The always on display turns itself off after a few seconds, which makes it pointless since it is supposed to be always on.
The Chinese rom has some built in apps for the phone, contacts and texting and alot of random Chinese preinstalled apps that are pointless unless you know Chinese of course. It also is slower at loading apps than the Global version. It is very noticeable with ebay and google news. However, it is not a true direct comparison since my phones have different ram and storage sizes. The Chinese rom also has a security thing that frees ram and kills apps even if you tell it not to. It also has an option to download more themes, which the Global version doesn't seem to have. Otherwise I can't think of many other differences. People say the Chinese rom will get more updates, but that is not worth it to me.

The global version of the Legion phone 2 I bought from Giztop just showed up like 10 minutes ago. I haven't finished checking it out yet, but so far it looks like they have actually been able to put the global rom on the chinese version of the phone. Fingerprint works and so does the front camera which I think was an issue with the previous Legion phone. Here are some screenshots of what I have seen so far during setup

Still not a proof.
All versions ok with bands, cuz of soc.
Difference in software (firmware).

Totally false. The cn version with global rom is missing b66,b71, and n71. So the hw is somehow different
I dunno how is it for Duel 2, but i had Asus ROG II (Chinese version) and it simply missed some bands too (it was hdw difference between global and chinese rom) - but honestly i didn't find in real enviroment any difference (living in UK)
Edit:// Hope Lenovo will realese new global update, those notification are annoying AF! Like i absolutely dunno if i got some message, it just simply that icon dissappear from status bar, like wtf , not mentioning still having issues with my hotspot, always have to use usb cable for hotspot, otherwise getting error >.<
