Hello all,
I would like to use a Honor 4x (Cherry) Cyanogen ROM (this one) for my Y6 SLT-L01. I figured it would be possible based on this thread of someone making a TWRP recovery for the Y6 based on the Honor 4x.
At first I just tried flashing the zip from TWRP, but the updater_script stopped me with a :
"This package is for device: c8817d,g620s,C8817D,C8817E,G621-TL00,G620S-UL00,G620S-L01,Che1-CL10,Che1-CL20,Che1-L04; this device is Honor4A."
And so I opened up the cm-13.0-20160504-NIGHTLY-cherry\META-INF\com\google\android\updater_script and removed the assert line spitting out the error, but now I just get a rather non-descriptive:
"Error flashing zip '/(emmc or sdcard, neither works)/cm-13.0lkdslk;lasd-NIGHTLY-cherry.zip'" - full log is attached below
I compared the build prop of my device, and that of the ROM I want to flash, and most of the items look pretty similar or compatible. For example, the ro.board.platform is msm8909 for my device and msm8916 for the ROM.
I've also attached both build props below.
At the end of the day, my question is: Is it possible to hack something quick that will let me use this ROM with my phone because the hardware is so similar? I would rather do that then set up a whole android ROM development build environment. Any advice would be appreciated.
maybe someone here can port it, btw has kernel sources of Y6 released??
Someone can do it, but he needs the proper files
without proper kernel sources i think it would not be possible
Kernel source isn't the most important, proprietary vendod files and device tree are crucial

If it's already released then there's no need to port. Better to build from source.

Hello,
I saw on the huawei site that p9lite have source code released
http://download-c.huawei.com/downlo...oadId=80203&version=318922&siteCode=worldwide
Hopefully someone makes a good use of it.
Could you tell me how to flash this file ?

This is not for flashing. That is the kernel source code for this device.
Is just for developers.
They always release the Kernel Sources for their device. but the devs needs also the sources for the Kirin SoC's.
Don't think you will be ever able to build this kernel. Just tested the source and there are a lot of files missing.
I tried to build but already got a error of missing file 'init/mounts.o' that is required to build the kernel.
Yes you can. I did it myself and I'm quite noobish at compiling. I've upgraded the kernel source as well See http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/p9-lite-kernel-source-updated-to-3-10-t3410130 for the kernel updated as image binary, or the updated source at my github. (props to Paul o Brien for instructions)

Thanx a lot
So what are the chances of seeing a custom ROM with the source for Kirin SoC not released?
And as an aside... any guesses on why it is not released?
Hello, I noticed that the link is no longer available.. do anyone knows why?
I am trying to find it but I found only the chinese DL00 and TL00 version here http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=88007&version=344035&siteCode=cn

Can we expect cm13 for honor 5c
It's hard to determine, nothing available yet (kernel source, device tree, bootloader unlock).
as honor and xda are now tied up we can expect it soon.
morover being kirin it would be a hard time for them
anyways i think yhe source code is aldredy availabe at huawei site.

I don't see a 5C kernel source there, is it named differently?!
No,you are all wrong!
The Bootloader can be unlocked easily by now.I'm a Chinese,lots of instructions are on our websites.And the TWRP for Honor 5C is already available.

The kernel source is available,but named differently. The Huawei p9 Lite and Honor 5C share the chipset and kernel source. I noticed that there were defconfigs of "nemo" next to my "venus" ones. And only recently did I discover that the codename for the 5C is "Nemo".
Even the previous generation of the Huawei P line uses the CM device and vendor tree of a Honor 4C or something,because they are identical inside.

Go check on my github for the device tree,and XePelato for the kernel source.
Although the kernel source is there,it is tricky to build(only two people managed to build it...)

The product we should add the ramdisk to is the "Image" file or the "Image.gz" file?

I'm sorry but I see this too late.I have a Honor 5C with 3GB RAM(NEM-AL10).I can test it on my phone.Can you try it?
I advice you to wait for a more stable custom ROM

Hello, I am a developer of CrashbitDevelopers I am working on a kernel for this mobile.
Only it is compatible with MIUI but the Chinese version Stable and EU
Warning:
Replace the modules manually to / system, they are in the zip but the zip does not install them, in what I see as solving the zip, install the modules so
If they do not the wifi will not work for them
News:
CrashbitKernel v1: (Stable)
1. Updated kernel to version 3.18.55 (EOL)
2. Added kernel optimizations
3. Added support for EXFAT and NTFS formats
4. Added compatibility with MIUI (The source is the base in LineageOS, but it already works in MIUI)
5. Updated drivers ......
Link of kernel:

When started in TWRP Recovery this starts the computer normally and not in recovery

For now I am looking for some dev that knows how to solve it and if someone knows to leave a comment for me to add it to the group and solve it
I will leave the source code here, and if anyone is interested in helping me I would appreciate it a lot, thanks

Gotta ask since I'm unfamiliar with this -- what advantages does this kernel offer over the default Xiaomi one or the ones by msdx321/Siyuan or jacoghi? Thanks
Yes, could you be more specific as to what changes are implemented in the kernel exactly and what the differences are between this kernel, the stock one and the ones by msdx321? Thanks in advance and good work.
I think it's not compatible with Mokee, i had soft brick (only fastboot)

Everybody here is saying that wating for a custom rom for p8lite2017 is a waste of time because huawei doesn't release the sources, then why does honor 8 have so many custom roms for it ? It has EMUI 5 just like us, it's made by the same company in the same year, how did the devs manage to make roms for it ??

Some developers (also I) take the data of the devices which they own. They do not need the official resources. Therefore, there is not custom rom also from devices his resources were published. I build my custom rom when android 8 is released.

True. Our Recovery isn't that all stable and consistent. I am not really expecting too much from this phone since its a budget device, and I got most of the things I want and need to work: root, busybox, Viper4Android. The TWRP is a bonus, even if its in a semi-usable state.
It's great if we can have Custom ROMs, but even just a custom kernel will suffice for now.
OFFTOPIC: On another note, I am hoping that Xposed will somehow work for Android 7 onwards. Even without a Custom ROM, that will open a lot of doors for customization.
