honor8 has healthy development, wish the same goes with honor9

Just wait for honor to publish source code, then development will start the right way

After source released, then OpenKirin team can work on it.

I'm going to buy an honor 9 soon, so it's good to know that I can flash a custom ROM when it comes

At the moment custom ROM use stock kernel

I hope the development picks up soon.

Huawei should release source of EMUI 8 asap so we can receive O ROMs early.

It will be really good..will boost up

I'm the owner of a Honor 9 and I hope xda developers help us get the bootloader unlocked again I got this phone too late and I'm still stuck with the bootloader

Same here, is there any other options, to unlock it?

Only with 3rd party, paid service: dcc unlocker. Search for guides in xda.

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.

I think everyone can agree that huawei shenanigans has ruined the development for this phone, like locked bootloader, them changing the xloader stuff so it bricks your phone when you downgrade... I just hope for the best on honor 9 development community and other development for new huawei devices, and maybe someday we'll find an exploit to these devices or the 0.00001% chance that we get a mercy from huawei and they finally give us an update on the firmware where they finally remove the bootloader lock. I'll be waiting until that day.

Realme 1 will get Android P{Confirmed}

Rejoice realme users.Your beloved device will get the Android P update.
The news was made public by geekyranjit in Twitter.He said that the company has confirmed the p update for realme 1 when he enquired about the same.
Update:Now it has been confirmed by the company directly.
Source:https://twitter.com/realmemobiles/status/1002391788957519872?s=19
Im eager to buy Realme 1 but ColorOS is blocking me!
If its gonna Android P , but then also ColorOS would be ColorOS!
Dont know about bootloader unlocking yet, Heard that Oppo phones are not unlockable :crying:
No bro eventually it will be rooted, have patience

If Oppo doesn't Provide the Unlocking Code or Support Fastboot Binaries, then it would only depend on some Tricks or Any Loopholes that would do the same.
Lets take the Eg. Of Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 , it has got bootloader unlocked and within a month Custom Roms have started to come up.
Now lets take the Other Eg. Motorola Droid Turbo (Int. Version of Moto Turbo which i was using in 2015) it doesnt have Unlockable bootloader , but within 1 year developers have successfully Unlocked the Phone!
And another, Droid Turbo 2 (Int. Version Of Moto X Force which im using now) it also had unlockable bootloader , and its going to be 2years but till now People are unsuccessful for getting Root/Unlocking due to the fix in Loophole.
So if Oppo is Not Providing the Unlocking Code or It doesn't Support Unlocking (as far as i know now) its not to be correct to assume it would get rooted/unlocked but can only hope for good.
Realme 1 has mediatek P60 AI chipset. Also Android 8 doesn't support AI feature but Android 9 (Android P) does. ColorOs 5 is supported and powered of AI feature like Battery, Camera, etc. Maybe Company push stock Android. But isn't bad ColorOS.

I think its never gonna happen! Its like Same, Mi rolling out Stock Android 8.0 insted of MIUI 10 or Honor rolling Stock Android 8.1 insted of EMUI!
I didnt used colorOS or any oppo phone before but MIUI,EMUI,UX5.0,Touchwizz... and i didnt keep up with them especially with MIUI and EMUI!
I keep Moto as my primary device (since 2013) due to stock android and simple interface.
ColorOS wouldn't be the deal breaker for the most but for some (like me) its making me think twice before buying

The phone is running on 8.1 Oreo, that means it has project treble support, so there will be no issues in unlocking the bootloader and developing a rom for the Realme 1. Just have a little patience.

Project treble means to have separate Vendor partition , so that GSI can be boot without compiling a seperate rom with a specific vendor tree. But it dosent mean treble=unlocking

Yeah, but it's a little less difficult for the developers to unlock the phone. I think you know that starting with Android 8.x (Oreo), Google separated the Vendor and Manufacturer. That means the OS can be updated without having to touch the vendor implementation. Before project treble, The Vendors have to wait for the Unlock Code from the manufacturer which was very lengthy and delaying process, at least project treble solves this issue.

Only Manufacturers signed images can be flashed with locked bootloader , so if you are planning to boot a LOS GSI you will need a Unlocked bootloader , and by no way you can sign a image as same as manufacturer so jt will fail, as far as unlocking is concerned its in the hand of oppo only bcoz i heard that oppo deleted the fastboot binaries of the phone and to unlock the bootloader ,there must be a loophole or some think which can be exploited otherwise it would suffer the same fate as droid turbo 2. In future what happens i/we dont know but till now its correct to assume that phone is unlockable bcoz oppo is not supporting bootloader unlocking
Here, look at this,
There's an option to allow permissions for unlocking Bootloader, so i think in future maybe Oppo will allow modifications.

This option will be there on all devices even on Droid Turbo 2 , and LG phones which i have used and are not unlockable.
Even CM12.1,13 has that for no reason.
You can turn it on off on off...

Well if that's the case then ab sab Oppo ke hath mein hai, but even if the bootloader doesn't gets unlocked, we still are getting confirmed Android P update. At least that's a relief. ?

Soon, the Realme officials only tweeted that Realme 1 will be getting Android P updated, as per track records of budget midrange devices, we can expect the update in 6-7 months from now.

Released Source Honor 10

Thats quick from Huawei/Honor to be honest.
Models : COL-AL00-AL10-TL00-TL10-L29 (direct link)
Otherwise take a look over here
for more devices as well
Good luck Devs
:victory:
This means roms are coming? ?
Well since the source is released for sure we can make something out of it. At the moment im focused on making Huawei P9 EU rom cause although the chinese version has an oreo, rebranding doesnt let our devices to connect in any network. So yeah bare with me and ill start working with customized emui based firmware or a GSI aosp that you will still have advantages from emui like AI, Camera etc etc.

I dont think that any member from XDA doesnt have bootloader code so far. The problem will be in the future but again if someone wants to unlock bootloader, there will be a way to do so even if that means we have to pay a bit. For the average joe its better to be locked so we will not end up solving issues from noobs begging with posts like "please help me unbrick my device".
That means volte in custom rom? Sweet!!

Will the Mate 9 be getting Android 9 Pie?

Please let me know! Let's see that project Treble work.
According to heise.de, a german news site, it will get Android Pie.
But i would't expect it to happen very soon...

Huawei is in no rush to upgrade a flagship that's been superseded by three generations by now.
We might get Pie, I suspect somewhere in April or May next year. By that time we might as well unlock our bootloaders and flash a build of OpenKirin.
I would if I could. Is there any way to unlock the bootloader since Huawei stopped providing codes? Openkirin sounds neat.

Is the phone treble enabled?

Hello Everyone!
I'm currently trying to decide whether to get the Honor Note 10, or the Xiaomi Mi Max 3. While the former clearly shows strength in terms of processing power, design etc., the later one has a major advantage in software due to it having treble support.
Hence, if I may ask to those of you who already have the phone, is the device treble enabled? I currently have my OnePlus 5 running Android Pie because of treble, and I would like to have my secondary phone be as flexible as well! I am highly aware that the bootloader unlock requires a paid service, but a few dollars for having barebones AOSP roms would be something I look forward to.
Thank you in advance to those who'll answer!

Yeah! So that it may be possible to flash GSI roms
Hi,
As Huawei doesn't allow to unlock the bootloader, you won't be able to install any GSI to it...
Some people report to have managed to unlock it with a paid option and to install TWRP.
But I am almost certain that even if they did and assuming a GSI will install and boot, you'll end up with a crippled device with features missing or not working...
I'd like to see that also but I think for now I'll stick to stock to no get stuck ,?

Well, maybe we could find workarounds for it... But I do understand your point with having incompatible roms.. I have bricked a device before because of it. But I hope someone knowledgable could look into this, especially those who work on the Honor 10 and Honor View 10 . Anyways, I guess I'll just try by myself, got my unit just today :fingers-crossed:
Is Note 10 a A only device?

New to this community

I have Honor 8 FRD L02. It's been 3 year since I've been using it. I'm thinking of rooting it but don't how to do it. Please guide me to it .
Also, tell what is the best custom rom and kernels or any customisation that works best with it. I hope you guys will help me out as I don't know these stuffs and don't want to brick my device.
Thank you.
If you can unlock the bootloader, you can easily root your device using Magisk. There are abundant guides available here for that.
Custom ROMs, well since Oreo we have treble ROMs, Omni and Resurrection Remix. There are also a few for Nougat but they haven't been updated in ages.
For kernel, I maintain one for EMUI 8 only. You can check the ROMs and Kernel sub section for that.

It is definitely worth it! With unlocking bootloader and rooting you can bring your device back to life!
Idk if you noticed but huawei closed their bootloader code site so there is no official way to unlock your device, BUT you can buy 4 credits for DC unlocker for arround 4 euro/5 usd and get the unlock code easily for cheap. I did this and worked 100% fine. You can find tons of tutorials for honor 8 unlocking or if you want a full step by step tutorial how to do it, dm me on telegram.
