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.

Trying to open a thread only for discussion about Ivan's AOSP ROM since the other thread was closed. Let's try not to put any download links so as to prevent this thread from closing too.
We can still put our feedback, discuss any issues with that ROM.
@zelendel I hope this should be ok if we do not post any links.
I was thinking about create another post! Thanks for do it for me mchauhan! Let's talk about Ivan and Android Lollipop... It seems that he has some problems to compile the rom... (By his weibo)
As long as no links are posted then it's fine.
subscribed. thanks. situation is getting very nervous anyway because of the f*cking sources not coming.. what the hell xiaomi is waiting.. you su*ks.. i guess this is my last xiaomi phone btw and right now I'm sad mi4 shares same code as that's the main reason of the delay I think...
Seems that the development is slowed down because of different releases of Lollipop for nexus devices. He seems to be merging code for R6 of Lollipop.
I am ok with slow development because the latest Kitkat version is pretty stable and meanwhile we might also see Xposed for Lollipop. I don't want to use any ROM without xposed.
What the he'll happened, why was the other topic closed?

I just read on his Weibo that he is currently waiting for the updates to be stable and then merge the codes, and then start working fast on the builds. He also said that its already 5.0.0_r6, luckily he didn't keep chasing up, and that Google is trying to make the developers tired.

Mailed him yesterday, He's busy in other work, so there may be delay for lollipop!!!!
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!

@DrakenFX ... Just come back from the vote, naturally enough for you, you fully deserve to win considering all the magnificent work that you have expended on the Axon7. Became an A7(USA) owner three weeks back and have spent the time quietly reading all I can about development. My daily driver is a moto X (MXPE) and in view of ZTE's statement about Nougat OTA coming in January I have resolved to await that before unlocking bootloader, twrp'ing, and rooting. I have never been very patient and it's almost impossible to keep to my plan, however if I give in before then or wait, I will be following your guides to do all the important things with this device. :fingers-crossed::good:
I made the list also. I just wished for "daydream". Doubt it happens before the end of the year. It would be a Christmas miracle. @DrakenFX you definitely deserve the win!

Yup, i'll just hold on to any Marshmallow Base Rom at the moment, as soon Nougat hit official release and capture OTA, I'll be working on TWRP files and a day or 3 i'll be releasing DMix7_N.v.0.1 , yeah i already have plans for this big release .....but as i said before you jump to N boat there is no way out of this boat. (was mention in the Pre-Registration of Nougat Z-Community site)
@DrakenFX Congrats on an impressive win. I managed to edge out a third place showing. Already spent my Amazon $100 dollar gift. Now we just need Nougat!
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?

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).

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