Huawei did not provided us with Nougat. But here, thanks to custom rom developers, we were able to experience Android 7 on our devices. Now to my curiosity rises a question I am sure it would have gone through your mind as well. I was wondering if custom rom developers will work on Android 8 for Honor 5X? I believe that developers might work on it but would not be nice to hear opinions from our developers?
It would be nice, but it's a old phone. It would have to be a "proof of concept" type of thing now. I remember how, for a time, how devs would put new versions of OS's on the g1. Maybe someone may throw down the gauntlet.
I'm 80% sure that Android O will come for 5X. What do you say @gopinaidu77?

I wants to show you something. After u see that "your 80% will go to 0"
On 23rd August 2016 , Honor updated their "Device Update Policy"
You can check it here.
Just compare the policy with what they did for 5x.
https://club-us.hihonor.com/blog.31/honor-announces-software-update-policy.1203 @adriansticoid
Also i am attaching a screenshot (scroll shot) about the policy.
The funny part is ,just read out the comments of dumb people there. They are in blind trust over honor. At that moment , they read the text and failed to understand the future(our present,probably now).

Do not trust sites like this. Devices getting the next version of Android O is developer dependent. No one can tell which device gets it.

Custom ROMs are the only reason why I am holding this phone right now. Its great to know devs are bringing O to our device.
Out of topic- Can someone tell me the reason for why devs are unable to bring VoLTE on this device?

Because the devs don't have VoLTE in their carriers. Ultimately, I think they got fed up from all the repetitive requests before.

Just wondering if we can get CM11 or something else on here and if it will work?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
For CM11 you'd probably have to message their team and see I'd they can help us out. I'm sure the version of KK that's released for the Chinese version of this phone could be ported but it seems like nobody can or is interested in doing it. Sadly it just seems like there's no development for this thing at all
Stock/rooted?

Because none of us are developers or know what to do. If I knew how to port a ROM, I'd get CM11 on here ASAP, trust me.

Personally I don't see us getting KK for this device. That would be ridiculous but if they can openly post on their website that other variations of the device are getting it but will not confirm we are then I'm thinking we wont. Hopefully some of the Devs who got these things at the event can port something for us from the Mate 7 or another variation of the Mate 2

That would be really dumb if all their other phones are getting updated except the one phone they sell here. I hope they recognize this.
That being said, I wonder why they just gave out 15 of these to developers. No other company would do that lol. Their Google Plus page even said "custom ROMs are right around the corner" or something like that. Maybe we'll get an official custom ROM, like the One Plus One with its custom CyanogenMod?
Of course I'm just speculating haha, only time will tell.

That would be sweet. An official custom ROM. I like the sound of that. We can dream until they either burst our bubble or deliver. [emoji4]
Personally I think they gave them out for the devs to do their job for them.

Doesn't matter to me. GOING IN, I figured from the past look at Huawei, they provided little to no updates to their devices.
So, going in, I knew it wasn't going to get KK. Don't really care! JB4.3 has been ROCK SOLID with no lockups, lags, problems
of any kind. Heck, I don't even root it! It "just runs". I don't want to screw around with unstable builds, don't have time as this is
my bread & butter for work.
I've had an honor 7 for about a month now and i can't seem to find an actual custom ROM. Just "EMUI" based custom ROMs which is just the original ROM, but modded
Also possible to unlock bootloader so why aren't there any custom roms?
help
i miss stock
I think the main reason is that it's been very hard for devs to compile cm or aosp for the Kirin SOC. That coupled with issues with the kernel source code such as it being very different to other android sources have made it a real challenge for devs to do.
Not that it's impossible though, this will just take a long time with lots of effort.

Hi all! I think that all owners of M4, already noticed that tonystark88, doesn't continues his project (without any reason, or at least we don't know). Anyway, I'm wondering about finishing for eg CM13. Unfortunately my skills in "androidstuff" are not big enough to handle it. They're kinda more big than "basics" but still not so big to develop ROM. Going to point, I'm just looking for people to start new or continue one of existing projects and make working CM12.1/13 for our M4. Since I have the device, and my knowledge is enough to test stuff and recover from softbrick, I think that I can be a kind of tester. So even if there is someone who is experienced enough to make it, but doesn't have a device and don't want/doesn't have money to buy device (for many reasons), then I can test everything and provide needed informations to make this possible. If anyone is interested in it, just thumb up there, send me a PM or comment thread. We can give new life for this "crappy" phone guys!

Hmm that depends on few things but that what i know from P9 Lite developement i think that it can be easily enabled or disabled by command in build.prop. Anyway i think that first let's make at least working for one sim Because for now, it's crappy bugged even on single variant

You're a power user. Can the Honor 8 Pro keep up? Rate this thread to express how "healthy" the development scene is for the Honor 8 Pro. A higher rating indicates available root methods, kernels, and custom ROMs.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
All things including root, custom roms and custom kernels, were available when this phone was launched in India. The very next day when the phone was in my hand, I could see that there is already RROS by OpenKirin team and also the very next there was a custom Kernel. Also the source code has already been released by Huawei. So I hope there will be good development in future. The only problem that I see is the dual camera source code which has not been released by Huawei which will cause problem in custom roms. Hope the OpenKirin team will find some solution to this or atleast port the huawei camera to other roms.
And now thisnis the bad part. Development is so small. I hope it changes over time.
I hope the development will be raised soon.

If you're looking for a development-friendly phone, Honor is not the solution for you. We do have a program where we give out bootloader unlock codes to a select number of people every once in a while, but there is no official support for unlocking your bootloader. This results is a very small development community.
I wonder if the device will actually die after a year or two, 6.0.1 is a very stable version of android but it will eventually have an end, what do you guys think? should I be optimistic about this device? thanks
