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.

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 have been reviewing the information about the Honor 9. Honestly, this is the first time I ever heard of the phone, but that is a different topic.
The question I want to know is that I recently purchased the Galaxy S8+ and wish to know if anybody did a comparison?
I have seen the videos but it still lacks substance.
For example, I understand that the Honor 9 is better suited for memory and gaming due to its GPU and increased memory. Is that the only real good thing about it?
Galaxy 8+ (for me, i don't have honor 9), seems to look brighter and sharper when it comes to the display. The edge feature is just a cool design but not a selling point.
Is the Honor 9 considered a gaming phone?
What would be the Pros and Cons if you was to make a purchase? I know the price tag is already a Pro for the Honor 9 (300-400, right)?
thanks, XDA.
In terms of performance the Honor 9 does best the SGS8+ just by a slight margin depending on what version of the SGS8+ you are planning on getting. However the SGS8+ does have a much better display than the Honor 9. Also it has a much better VR experience due to the better display than the Honor 9. However if you aren't interested in VR then the Honor 9 is a excellent purchase.
In terms of everything, the galaxy s8+ is better.
But for value/specs, honor 9 is better

1. Honor 9 is best for all around usage.
2. Yeah Galaxy S8+ screen is way better than Honor 9.
3. S8+ is waterproof, Honor 9 is not.
4. S8+ has a more durable build.
Hello, i would like to ask huawei users if they suggest me to buy honor 9 or better go to another phone?
- What i noticed from the forums that there are a lot of bugs and issues people are having with honor 9, and waiting for updates to fix them.
- Also, comparing it to other brands like samsung or lg, the forum doesn't have much support of devs, in terms of customs roms or fixes in case of issues ?
- Also so many people are reporting the customer support/service, is really bad compared to other brands? and hard to find how to repair a huawei phone ? is it true?
I m actually thinking of S8, so please, can you tell me about your experience and opinion?
Well i have a honor 9 and I'm happy with it. But the galaxy s8 is obviously way better in every single point
Huawei Mate 10 users, having never owned a Huawei, but for someone who is definitely interested in the brand and definitely likes what he sees with the Huawei P20 Series.
Why should I choose the forthcoming Huawei Mate 20 over other 2018 flagships eg Samsung Galaxy Note 9 ?
Thanks for your time in advance
Your best bet would be to read and watch reviews and decide for youself.

Absolutely, but has the Mate 10 been a positive experience that people would have no hesitation in owning another Mate Series smartphone. If you know what I mean ?
For sure. This is my 2nd Huawei phone, I had a P9 first then a lot Xiaomi phones in between. So far, I'm very happy with the Mate 10 pro.
I wan't to give my wife my old Mate 10 Pro because her Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T (or whatever) is a piece of crap. Huawei after 3 years have still better cam, speed and battery life.
I kept it on Emui 9 to keep root. Now I am thinking about upgrade to EMUI 10 and my question is is it worth it? Is camera app at least as good as in 9? Can you let me know your thoughts on EMUI 10? Thank you in advance.

try by yourself better Because some of users complained about the update because root not working,, you can't unlocked bootloader again,,, others complain about battery etc.. and others accepted... you can upgrade to EMUI 10 and use it for some times if you like it keep it,, if not you can downgrade to 9 again by hisuite,, for me i have mate 10 and I am ok with it smooth,, fast,, battery little better,, more options in settings,,
at last it depends on phone condition..
Stuck on Mate 9.1 on my BLA L29 C636. Tried HiSuite, HiCare region change but still cannot update to EMUI 10!
Did you have a method of upgrading?
