Lack of development - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi,
I'm just curious as why the mate 20 pro lacks such development

Are you speaking about custom ROM?
If yes it is simply because Huawei doesn't release any source code and it is hard to unlock bootloader etc so obviously it is really hard for developers to do something with that....

I never understand folks who buy Huawei products expecting rom development. Huawei made their stand awhile ago.
It's simple stuff. Buy pixel, OnePlus, xiaomi etc if you want amazing dev support.

Why people want to use custom ROM on an amazing phone and limit themselves from using most banking apps?

Well you don't limit yourself if you use proper tools like magisk hide

People that want to customise a rom, or even know what is a ROM is potentially maybe, if I am generous, 0.1% of the potential phone market.
Huawei has the best stance, business wise. Why waste time and ressources to release codes for a minority of people that will barely impact your bottom line.
Despite the US ban this year, they are growing 24%, so my guess is they are fairly happy with their current situation, and won't miss 2-3 nerds on XDA wanting to change their phone from the inside out.

Though there are no threads about them here, there is official TWRP and official Lineage OS 16. HTH
(Sorry, please just ignore this mistaken post.) (I was confused and not awake enough to critique my poor thinking.)
Big thank you to @ChongoDroid for quickly correcting this. Cheers

Should LineageOS exist for the SM-N910T? If not why not?

LineageOS sounds great but how can we ask developers to build it?
Sadly, a lot of us will realize that the SM-N910 is really not a very good developer phone, and the software stack makes it very clear. Samsung and carriers obsoleted the phone right after the galaxy Note 5, and they don't care about supporting it much anymore. Using the stock OS will open people up to viruses and malware on Android, and that's just harsh.
Don't get it all wrong. It has really excellent hardware, and code exists to put LineageOS (up to Nougat) on to it, but it's difficult to say that unless people can work together to support it officially, I don't really have a lot of confidence that a huge project like that can work solely on willpower in the end.
Regardless, here's a thread that appears to have a build for SM-N910T (trltetmo), you might want to check it out: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/rom-lineageos-14-1-t3536401

Brand new custom ROM coming soon

My small team made a decision. We are finnaly creating our own custom ROM and it will be called Android Open Source Dark Project( based on AOSP as how name suggests), and for sure it will have official support for this device and P8Lite 2017, and many other. Currently we are recruiting members since we are too few to make a ROM by ourselves.
News: ROM Development has officially started.
I will not leak too much features now but first version will be based on nougat Oreo, will have a full, true dark mode and will be blazingly fast. The rest you'll find out when we'll release it.
If you think you have all what we need and you want to work with us, here is a form where you can apply freely: Android Open Source Dark Project Application
Estimated release date: November 2018
Best Regards,
Anyone who wants to find out the latest news about the ROM join the Telegram group: Android Open Source Dark Project Telegram
suport for chc—u01?

Here a beta tester for you. I own P8 Lite 2015 and I am using now other phone as a daily driver so I can do tests without problems and provide logcats.
Luck anyway
Hope you and your team may add hardware nav button mapper(like on aospa and dot os)
Good luck ?

My only question is.... Why? Aren't here already 10+ roms, 100+ garbage custom ones with 0 support? Why you need to make 1 more? How will this help us or anyone? Why not just sending patches and commits to other custom roms and use those, or join them?

The ROM will support officially both devices(2015 and 2017 editions) with their latest source codes and patches.
Also, the ROM will be based on AOSP Oreo.

I'm not talking about these phones, or "my" custom preferences lol. I just asked some questions, and from this respond i see that it will be, hopefully not, another fail custom build based on x rom with minor changes, and than abandoned in some weeks. Check esposito os (or how it's called, seen it from dark.... fck i forgot the names xd).
If you can't take critics don't respond, please.

If you make an OS based on x rom and you weekly sync it, that would be good.

Okay. You want a public explosion? Here's a public explosion.
First of all, the beef isn't with you, so you should've stayed quiet because it has nothing to do whatsoever. Until now.
You are a great dev, and you did indeed help me a lot when I was a begginer in Kirin development, but that was a month ago when I didn't know anything. And as much as you help and as much as I like your work, you need to make up your mind. May I ask how many times have you left Kirin development then came back? Is that how it works for you? Why can't you try and develop for both of your devices? You also claimed you got DU Oreo working with everything except til, why didn't you publish a beta? And why did you delete most of your sources? You do realize that kernel sources need to be availible publicly for roms to stay on XDA right?
As for the other guy I asked him ONCE for help, and he didn't even reply, so I can't say he helped, I still figured it out on my own. But that guy that you trust so much and protect like he's your son, is the same guy who dmd me a few weeks ago asking me to build lineage for him to publish on XDA.
So stop. Both of you aren't powerful and mighty, and neither am I. This has nothing to do with you, it's between me and the other guy (who asked me to dm him on telegram then blocked me lol), not between you and me. The fact that he even asked you for your help just shows he needs his buddies to go and step up for him because he can't do it himself.
Was this supposed to be a public beef? No. But it seems like it's what you wanted, so here's a favor for you.
P.S how the living hell is it immature to ask for help when you don't know something?
This is all that I am going to say, and I have no more ****s to give about this. I like who I like and don't who I don't. I don't like the other guy, so what?

I didn't say that I'm working on DU Oreo, where you hear that? secondly I'm working on a SD821 that already port treble on LePro3 as my second project after P8L2017 if you want I can port it here, but it wasted time. thirdly I won't be part of ****ty "public discussions" since don't have time for it. At least I didn't "block" you, so be mature and move on.

I have some of my personal points to say:
1. This is not the place for fights here. If you all fight like some children, well find another place since this is not the good one.
2. Everybody has the right to a opinion and if we think your ROM is crappy this is how it's going to be. In life you won't find anywhere happy guys which will like everything.
3. You should't complain at all since ~1 hour ago you came into our pubilc AOSDP group and started begging my team members to get you in our team. Didn't you say you don't have any time to work even on your ROM? Then why you want to work on another one?
And last, 4. If I was developing EspositoOS I would've considered the AOSDP a threat and not a place to beg team members to get you in the team.
Do not continue your fights here, this is a announcement thread and not a fight club.
Thanks for understanding,

Really pointless thread. If you've followed any of the other AOSP request threads, you'll know that it's a very complicated and involved task. Amassing "+1" posts isn't going to motivate anyone more to take on such a task.
On a more personal note, I don't know why someone would buy a device like the Note 8 just to strip it of all of its features. Personally, I bought my device because of all the features Samsung has put on it. I wouldn't put AOSP on this, likely even if someone paid me, because it would defeat the purpose of having this device in the first place.

We all have different opinions and preferences, so I think we all belong here. Of course support for devs is always welcome, but a +1 thread may not be the most effective way to go about getting what you want...They can already see the view count on aosp-related threads after all. Maybe try reaching out directly instead.

Well, devs, I think, try to develop roms to attain a better experience, adding some features, taking out some not very popular ones, in general to make the overall performance better, as Max Terrible here stated, buying a note series device to strip it down of ALL the features that make it what it is, in my opinion, is pointless, to that effect, you should get a pixel device, clean pure android out of the box

Do explain to me how having a thread full of people posting +1 to try and convince a dev to make an AOSP ROM, is considered supporting the dev?
I definitely support the devs and the great work they do on here, but recruiting a mob to basically create a petition for someone to do something you want, is not what I define as support.
I assure you, any and all devs working on the Note 8 are aware of the very, very small group of people that want an AOSP ROM.

There would be lot of people who dont upgrade mobile regularly (may be 6 months) some upgrade after 2 years. And u might be knowing samsung way of updates so aosp rom etc is very help to have a taste of latest updates. I know only note special things wont be working but many extra things u will get in these roms. Till now we are not able to use gcams! This shows development for this rom. Intent of this thread was to see popularity of this device and let dev see the demand:laugh:

I am not a coder or a programmer and there is no need for you to feel defensive about a simple question.

or they have to make sure its stable and app updates dont corrupt it and brick the phone, else they have people whining it bricked their phone even though theres the standard disclaimer about not being responsible for tears and nuclear war, which a lot of folk do not read.

I think the OPs question was more about is there something special that makes the s10 hard/impossible to root since it's taking much longer than usual. I did not feel his tone being "get to it you lazy devs" so people need to chill and stop being offensive thinking they are defending/helping devs by being jerks. We have enough SJW in the world right now...
I wouldn't be worried for root being released eventually, since the official magisk Twitter showed a rooted s10, so it's probably coming. Maybe it's taking long to make sure it's stable and not bricking devices as others mentioned.
The real problem for it taking long to release is that scammers find the opportunity to make money from innocent people and brick their devices, since Google search for s10 root is full of them.

Well firstly this is about twrp recovery, not magisk.
Secondly donate to basically buy a device for someone. Lol nah. It's a hobby yes and also an expensive one. I purchase all my devices outright but don't come crawling up to people to help pay for it. I work hard for my money!
Lastly, assumption is the mother of all f ups. You don't know my history with John, many years ago I helped him before magisk times.

Urm did not even mention ETA. Just noting an observation. And quite frankly couldn't care less about your assumptions either. Have a good day now
For US users there won't be TWRP until a unlocked bootloader happens which I doubt from reading around. The better option is if you're an international user and have access to buying the Exynos version, it will have the option to unlock the bootloader in the dev options. At that point it's just porting TWRP. It's a fairly new device so I don't expect anything for a few months. If you NEED TWRP or NEED root get another device.

I don't know which phones the OP is referring to that are rooted and have recoveries within days of release but those phones are not usually Samsung flagship devices and especially not Snapdragon variants. I too am old school in that it's pretty arrogant to ask for something when you have such feeble knowledge of what is involved in creating it. BTW... the Note7 got root but not the unlocked bootloader that would allow development to really take off. Samsung doesn't give two squats about the couple of hundred people for whom Viper is a necessity that ranks with breathing and eating. They care far more about the corporate and government sales, customers who don't want to see their phones hacked.
The ****show will really start if root is available and the dozens of people who can't follow directions start "bricking" their phones.

This was the situation with Lenovo p2. But dev's eventually got in and now they have a great development curve.... the p2 users donated money for one dev to buy p2 for development and well. That was initiated by a user. And development kickstarted soon after.

We can check in custom rom telegram groups for this. But also check with certified developers in xda as well. PM would do here.

But first, we need to organize users who would be able and willing to donate. Once enough people are there and we can figure out on total if the amount offered is sufficient enough, we can start contacting dev's. After we have a dev ready to help, then start pooling in money and purchase the set and send ot to the dev.

just a heads up. according to XDA rules. donation threads have to be created by the developer itself who is interested in the device development. he has to green lit such a thread with an XDA admin. if it gets created by forum users it gets closed pretty soon as it is against the rules.
so first step would be finding an recognized developer willing to spend his free time on the device.

two options comes to mind.
A: look into devs that were or still are maintaining Samsung (Snapdragon based) phones and might be interested in the A70.
B: look into devs that maintain a device that has the same SoC (or SoC family) as those devs will have less than half as much work (it does depend on how far the kernel deviated from code aurora code) to maintain a second device if they have already established the knowledge on the primary device.
E.T.A. Unknown..

The Operative Phrase Here Is: "Still Maintaining Samsung (Snapdragon Based) Phones".
In the U.S... Samsung Snapdragon devices have their bootloaders locked down.. ( Per Carrier's Request ) so you have Zero ROM Development..
IMO.. you have to love this device for what it brings to the table stock ( Widvine L1, Themes, AR Emoji, UI, Gaming etc ) just in case nothing Custom sprouts.. :angel:

I am trying to make twrp for the device. Because this is my first time, I need device tree to be prepared. As of now, my attempts have not given any results. If you can help, would be great.
