Android 7.0 with EMUI 5 ? with glass back like honor 8
Wow. That's amazing. Why this?
I dont know to be honest, but it will cost around 250€ in Europe. If I am right it has same motherboard as P8 lite 2015. Lets hope 7.0 will come to us soon
It has 655 so android 7 cannot be ported from it to us 650 chipset
I think this is the end of Android 7 dream for our P8 lite, and after release, probably end of all updates for old P8 lite version.
So what Huawei are basically saying is , if you want Android 7 you"ll have to buy a NEW phone. Hope our device gets LineageOS soon.
If p8 won't get it because the processor won't support it, why do you keep feeding the idea that we'll get Nougat someday? Only through Custom Roms, won't ever happen officially.
I don't think our phone could handle Nougat well... Plus it usesa different board; ours has Kirin 620 and this new one have Kirin 655

Our phone of course can handle Nougat very well.........Samsung galaxy S3 can run it smooth and our phone is superior to it ....
is funny that my moto G 4g from 2013 has custom roms with android 7.1.1 and it is smooth as ****, a lot faster than my Honor 4X (Kirin 620) with emui 4.0 lol, the only thing that my Huawei is better is on games, the rest the moto g is a lot better
anyways i'm not blaming the devs, i blame huawei for sharing a ****ty source code so, to build custom roms it is hard as hell
I think it was pretty obvious that we will not get EMUI 5 (or android 7.0 generally) officially. It really seems like huawei goes out plain and says : "You want Nougat? Buy yourselves an improved version of the phone and expect no further updates whatsoever". Also, the P8 Lite can handle Nougat like many other less powerful phones out there like the Moto G. We are counting on devs for 7.0 rom (like LineageOS) but with the source code that Huawei has provided is seems really hard.

I have also read some sources claiming that. I cannot find a link right now as there has been more than a month since i've read that. The sources claimed that the P8 Lite along with the P8 will get EMUI 4.1 with some ported-back features from EMUI 5. There is already EMUI 4.1 from vodafone so , if this is true, i am curious to see what are the ported-back features. I am starting to doubt this after seeing the release of the P8 Lite (2017) though....
Emui 4.1 will be the last EMUI Big Update for us. Huawei says "You wanna have EMUI 5? get the P8 Lite 2017"
Hello,

Hello guys, I bought my Huawei P9 back in December 2016 and since then I only used official EMUI 4.1, official EMUI 5.0 and I am currently using the NewWorld-7 by Tecalote, but I am now looking to change this.
I need you guys to suggest me the "best" if I can say ROM out there for the P9, kinda doesn't matter the version. Only a few notes: The ROM must have a working Camera, GPS, Fingerprint, Bluetooth, etc. (as much things working as possible).
Because I want the ROM to have as less bugs as possible I am thinking of installing the official ROM, probably B378 (or whatever the latest version was), but I want to keep my root access on the other hand, so I'm also thinking about dkionline's "mOOnlight ROM v1.0 B378 Stock", but the thing is that as far as I'm concerned, on Custom ROMs, the PlayStore isn't updating and this is important for me, because I am modding my games a lot and the latest version of the PlayStore is required.
One thing in EMUI 5 that I hate is the lockscreen when using Spotify. I have no problem about the thing being small (in EMUI 4 it takes the whole screen), but atleast the controls to be working properly (people who used Spotify and B362 or whatever the first official B3XX build was will undestand).
So well, suggest me what ROM to install
Will the P10 and P10 Plus get the latest Android 8.0 update? Huawei just published an update which I saw on Google cards stating that the FF devices will receive Android 8.0:
Mate 8
P9 and P9 Plus
Nova 2
Nova 2i
Nova Youth.
I am pretty disappointed by this as the Mate 9 received its update already, while the high-end P10 doesn't have any news for it.

Huawei P10 is currently in beta testing for oreo so I think it is not necessary to include in the list

Mhhh, Android versions do not add substantial features lately. Oreo added Treble, but it's optional. Other changes are hidden to the user and not really relevant, often go against users convenience or will.
EMUI on the other hand did progress a bit more. Version 5 is usable (still did not try 8), although several much needed features are still missing. IE, selectable amount of columns/rows in launcher (this, among other tweaks are provided with kangvip in P10), but it's hard to understand corporations decisions...
Summarizing, MM is fine, you are not missing much.
The really good news about Oreo is that kernel sources are not broken now (as they were when Nougat sources were published), so kernel development could make a difference now. We 'only' need an active kernel dev now
Hello everyone, I have a huawei p9 EVA-L09 branded (TIM, I come from Italy).. Is it possible to install a custom ROM, better if pixel experience? has android 7.0 and EMUI 5.0.3. Thank you!

First of all, to flash anything (root,TWRP, custom ROMs) you must unlock Bootloader
Second, check the threads in ROMs section but if I recall correctly for P9, EMUI 5, there were only two or three custom ROMs based on stock and one or two (LOS and maybe RR) based on AOSP - developed (and stopped) back in 2017
EMUI 5 was not ready for GSI ROMs, and every custom ROM must have been adapted and ported to P9
You probably think about new, GSI based Pixel Experience or similar ROMs - for that you would first need to update to EMUI 8, Oreo (and rebrand from your Italian to Chinese EMUI because EMUI 8 was only released for China)
All together not impossible but not as easy and friendly as if you would have a new (Android 9 or 10) Xiaomi, One Plus or a similar phone where you just unlock Bootloader and start experimenting with GSI ROMs
Last but not the least, specially if you are a newbie, think about the community regarding help, learning from, sharing experience - there are only two or three users who are still actively experimenting with GSI/AOSP custom ROMs on P9, posting only something from month to month here, hence you will mostly need to go alone

If your device is unlocked, rebranded and updated to EMUI 8.0, you can install GSI ROMs with some issues. You're better off installing OpenKirin ROMs or sticking to EMUI 8.0. This device isn't very active in development, but we will try to help. You can install phh-based Android O/P ROMs. Android Q GSIs don't work because of this device's VNDK 26.
My father in law gave to my daughter is Huawei P8 Lite 2017 (PRA-LX1 8.0.0.392(CO2).
I've already wiped everything and I'd like to install an OS that is clean as possibile without all the bloatware and spyware from Huawei.
I've installed Lineage OS on other Android Phones, but this phone looks a bit more complicated.
I'm wondering if you have any suggestions on which OS I can install that allows my daughter to have a stable and usable phone; I'd like to avoid development/hack versions, or ROM that are not 100% working. Thanks for any help.
If you have already unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP, all that is left is to start reading the threads of a ROM you are interested (for bugs or issues), as as rule of thumb, the older = the more stable.
You can start with this:
[ROM][OTA][8.1] LineageOS 15.1 for Huawei P8 Lite 2017

Hi...
if you really want a Phone without any Bloat or Spyware you need a Nokia 3330 or Siemens S25 or something like that xD
Just a little Joke

Try Lineage OS18.1 by DarkJoker360. I'm daily driving it and is pretty much stable.
The only issue which I encountered was GPS. The GPS on this rom is slow( it takes 2-3min to fix location) because AGPS is not working here, but developer is looking into it. Hope it get fixed soon.
