Progress about developing Custom ROMs? - Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
Maybe any of those who try to port actual Custom ROMs to the Honor 7 could give a quick update on how's it going and what causes the development to stuck. Is there even any hope of getting i.e. CM?

Yes, there are devs(including me) who are trying to port CM13 for our beloved Honor 7, so please wait patiently, its on its way.

That's great to hear! Thanks for the effort you're making
How long do you think will it take? Should I expext it in a few weeks or rather a few months?

AOSP KitKat Coming Soon

AOSP KitKat Will Come To XZU Soon
Hope DoomLord Will Get An Z Ultra Soon
Nice, can't wait!
It was easily ported from nexus 5 to 4.
I would settle for a straight aosp build without the extras!
Been hearing good things about 4.4.

Strange thread. The world comes to its end soon. When? I don't know.
Please post some kind of link where is stated that kitkat comes to our device because every one can shout anything.

KitKat can come to any device as long as someone is working on the kernel and proprietary files. We have Kali here so I'm guessing that's a good sign that it's coming.

Why are you not sure? I'm 100% sure that AOSP 4.4 will come to the Z Ultra. And a trusted developer has been quoted as saying he is working on it at the moment.

Could someone use the kernel and propriety drivers from the current builds of 4.3 or are new ones needed?

You are aware that we're talking about the AOSP version and NOT Sony's right? Devs are saying that they're working on Kit Kat as we speak. What's the problem? Should we get @krabappel2548 in here so he can confirm that he's working on it?

You don't get my point. All that info isn't in op. So making a thread and claiming something without further info is weird. That's my point.

I will have to respectfully disagree.There is an attachment on the original post which shows krabappel2548 saying he will bring it to the ultra. From that I pulled up the other links. So the OP didn't claim something without further info, or at least not that couldn't have been followed up if you had an interest in the topic.

Anytime there is a new source / base, then dev's need to start a tree from scratch. It takes a huge amount of time. So don't expect a release soon..
I just started a fully new device tree and running a first compile of 4.4 kitkat with the 4.3cm kernel.
Anyway I'm expecting some errors to pop up with caf and qcom.hardware maybe. I'll keep.you guys posted here and also in Z1 kitkat in.november thread
You can also check my site, important news will appear there too
I can't give any ETA since kitkat is brand new + we didn't had an AOSP device tree from 4.3 to start from. Just keep your fingers crossed and check XDA for updates

When you release will it be part or Carbon or just pure AOSP mate? No reason just wondering :good:
Edit... And If you need alpha/beta testers you know where we are, nandroids at the ready

[Q] is there any work out there to get 4.4.4 to work on AM2?

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.

Yes I know, they still didn't mention anything about the developers or why we're not getting updates even though the Chinese Mate 2 (and a number of other phones not sold here) will.

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.

No custom ROMs?

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.

Is there a possibility that we might get Lineage OS15 for XM4??

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
