why dont get huawei p8 android 7 ? - Huawei P8 Questions & Answers

it is huawei 2015 best phone but year 2017 huawei p8 dont get android 7 but it s getting only google patch update no big update.samsung s6 is getting android 7 and iphone 6 os getting ios 10 but p8 dont get big update.
İ m sad huawei

Yes, i agree

I agree but AFAIR the problem is that the graphic section of the SoC will not receive any official Android 7 drivers support anymore. The architecture of the section is pretty old (from 2012) so Huawei and Mali will not care.

Maybe. I do not know. But large companies do not work like that.
Of course I want to have Android 7 on my P8 but I think it is highly improbable, at least officially.

I just want to say just one thing as Huawei argues for updating a low medium like gt3 and abandoning 2 top ranges like p8 and mate s i think the same fate will be on the p9 series as they will not even have the 5.1th nougat is the first is the last major Update then will go on until the 2 years with patches and think that Samsung in November updates to nougat even j5 2015 is absurd

Other significant Andorid 7 / Nougat P8 threads to see what has been discussed before:
[Discussion] Not happy P8 won't be updated to Nougat? REPORT! [possibly the first such thread]
Nougat might be coming as said by a Huawei employee [not true of course!]
Huawei P8 Nougat Petition [support the cause if you can]
Can people please refrain from starting any more related threads - it's getting a bit annoying now. Do a forum search instead.

Ok here's what Dumbawei thinks:
- Oh look, we just selled 20 million P8 Lite! This is a great thing! We also have to upgrade to Android 7 but the hardware of P8 Lite isn't good enough. SO WHY THE HELL SHOULD WE DO THE SAME ON THE P8? THEY HAVE THE SAME NUMBER BRUH SO THEY'RE THE SAME RIGHT?
Here's what developers think:
- Hey the P8 Lite is so popular so we should mod it anyway why not? He can't run almost nothing including itself but WHY NOT??
Here's what Resurrection Remix developers think:
OH GOD THIS CAN RUN ALMOST NOTHING INCLUDING ITSELF. LET'S MAKE A ROM FOR IT!!
Here's what P8 Lite owners think:
Ma niga dis phone crap af why did I buyed it ma niga
Or else:
YES I GOT THE *insert clash royale stuff here*!!! THE WHOLE WORLD MUST NOW IT!!
Here's what P8 owners think:
Crap.
So this is why the Huawei P8 will never get Android 7

As expected to be honest, but do you have a source on that?

If Huawei don't release sources properly to encourage development, as much as I like my Mate 7, I will never buy another Huawei.
OmniROM Nougat 7.1 experimental has just been released for my Oppo Find 7 which is older than the Mate 7 and will have a longer life than the Mate because of this. The Oppo never got official past LP but the community kept it up to date.
Huawei want to beat Samsung soon and are aiming at beating Apple as a phone brand. I think they will stay as closed source as they can get away with.....

The people interested in custom roms make such a small share compared to those who don't care at all, so why should they even think about releasing sources? As much as I wish for more customizability I don't think it makes that much sense for them as a company tho..

While its true that we are few in number, we have power! Androids GPL states that any OEM that uses any of the code must provide all sources. The problem has always been that no one wants to pick a fight with Huawei in China.
LeEco recently released all their hardware sources because they have started selling their devices in the US (directly). If Huawei tries to do so they will have to release all sources as well thanks to the GPL. So, anyone who buys a mate 9 might have CM14 or AOSP provided a dev is interested.
Let's hope Huawei tries to sell here. As far as the mate 7 goes..... Yeah, it's ****ed! Let's all just move on cause EMUI is just horrible!
If OmniROM were available for the Mate 7, it would be such a nice phone. I can only dream.....
I actually don't have a clue what will come after my Mate 7 and Find 7 are done with. I was thinking maybe a 1+ but the latest fiasco just reinforces to me that they don't actually give a sh*t about their customers and constantly make really poor errors of judgement. Not sure what else I would buy. Not a Samsung or Apple, that's 100% certain. Maybe I'd look more at other Chinese manufacturers trying to go global, maybe a Lenovarola? Wait and see what Nokia do? Maybe Asus will get their act together?
For boot emui 5 is necessary a phone with the same processor and the unique phone with the same processor of mate 7 is honor 6 and honor 6 plus

A few devs are already working on bringing AOSP (android open source project) based on android 6.0 to the mate 7. Once AOSP 6.0 is stable, it will be easy and quick to get android 7.0 stable.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. The few devs that are working on it atm are not able to dedicate enough time build a working ROM. If you guys want longterm support, I suggest you invite a dedicated dev.
A dev that can put in the required hours and release proper and timely updates. Those that are willing should buy an extra mate 7 and give/lend to a dedicated dev that will produce custom ROMs. This is XDA, it's not hard to find a dev that would be willing to do this.

Lol! Yeah! No thanks! I dont use the mate 7 anymore. I got a OnePlus 3 and a Nexus 5. If you plan on getting updates though, your gonna need to find a dev otherwise enjoy marshmallow with emui.
i just wish there will be custom roms available in the future based on nougat. wishful thinking.
On emui website, we can download the emui 5.0 under the mate 7 selections. Did anybody ever try, and install it? If yes, how to do the installation?

Don't get your hopes up, the kernel source for marshmallow has been available for a long time now, however no developers have the time at the moment to work on a pure AOSP 6 ROM.

Will mate 8 get Android O ?

Android O seem very impressive for especially the under the hood stuff and performance increase with running apps.
I am sure if Mate 8 Got Android 0 it would get a second life, it would feel like you would get kirin 960.
Android Nougat sucks ... it drains more batteries then marshmallow .... Marshmallow was perfect ...

is perfect; B192 ..
I guess the answer is nO.
i started to feel that my phone slowed down. gotta rollback soon from N to MM.

Personally to answer at all that.
I think Marshmallow was the best for the battery.
I've no issue with Nougat, except maybe like lot, the battery is less efficient. But I don't disturb with it because it works for the day. No need more. We shouldn't wait more of a phone with a big size. Say that 'O' could be worse with its consumption. Many new systems are less energy-consuming than their predecessors.
The only thing which will do that we won't have this new system, certainly, it's because the Android system doesn't do more than one or two update(s) on the devices. In addition, like it's a phone which is not followed, no one will develop unOfficial 'O' like LineageOS or AOSP on this phone. And I regret because this phone could work fine with this OS.
Sorry to say you! YOU, ME... WE had chosen the wrong phone to hope to have lot of updates!!!!
Until now, I was with Samsung Galaxy S serie, for that, this phone was really well desserved. Only thing which disturbs me was this damn knox. Now I almost regret it.
B.R
I agree franz , mate 8 is the perfect phone with almost of non related imperfections not pertaining to the phone its self lol. This is where the p9 kernel can be adudited and run Lin. If I could run mm with now let's say oreo animations ,boot , splash, shutdown like I found from a mate 9 fw for oreo ..
Yeah mate 8 is perfect phone but Huawei sucks with update and the really need to talk with their customers ....

Mate 7 got 3 updates, kitkat, lollipop,marshmallow, mate 8 have only got marshmallow and nougat so far so I expect one more major upgrade.
Yeah I know that ... But I don't talk about the OS jumped .... I'm talking about the os ota for region and ... update problem ... they don't fix every problem at once ... they fix 2 problem and with next update they give u 4 problem ... that's I'm talking about .... Android also security update sucks ...

Android O promise easier upgrades for manufactures. So once on Android o it might be easier for them to upgrade to newer version also
Let's hope so
Yes , until I get new OTA for nougat c636B580 update last week . It solve the battery drain problem and it was perfect now . So guy get your latest patch or update then you will feel the different

It is possible to get Android O.because it's GPU is same as galaxy s7(just different is in cores). Huawei reason for nougat for mate 7 was gpu.but I don't think Huawei will update mate 8 to O.

Personally I would find it very strange and also a brand suicide to not give Mate 8 Android O.
Mate 8 is still one of the most fast performing phones and have that reputation. It is a top notch device minus the camera, but not every one care about camera, it is the screen, speed of software and form factor that counts for me..and it looks damn sexy to I think (I recently modded mine to mocha brown).
I will say this if Mate 8 does not get android o I will not buy Huawei again..
In terms of Mate 7 I can understand, it still got , kit kat, then lollipop then marshmallow it was kind of a lot of updates...even though I personally think mate 7 would really had benefited from nougat and android o.
I believe Mate 8 get Android O (last update maybe). Huawei already working on new "O" system.
https://galagram.com/2017/06/kakie-smartfony-obnovyatsya-do-android-8-0/
Mate 8 should get O, because its a 64 bit processor. Android O, is built on 64bit.
I hope its module driven, that way, it'll just built itself by downloading drivers for the hardware on the phone. Updates would become very easy, and bugs with things like the camera could be squashed really quick.
I don't know if this is a reliable source, but it says that we will be getting Android O in November 2017:
https://www.gammerson.com/2017/04/list-huawei-honor-devices-getting-android-oreo-update.html
Well... Will we get Oreo? I couldn't find any info....
No chance. Huawei abandoned this model already.
I am hoping for at least the Wi-Fi Krack fix through Android security patch but I am not very optimistic.
What do you mean by wifi crack?
Do you have the same problem with slow wifi connection?

Anybody comming from Honor 8 to Honor 8 pro??

Hii to all Honor 8 users..
Simple thing I want to know
Is anybody comming from the Honor 8??
If yes, what would you say about that change??
Is it a good phone upgrade/change and why??
I know this is a new phone so maybe some of you did
not had so much time to test it all but tell me like
the first impressions??
Thanks

Community development strength

You're a power user. Can the Honor V10 keep up? Rate this thread to express how "healthy" the development scene is for the Honor V10. A higher rating indicates available root methods, kernels, and custom ROMs.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I like the mobile myself but I have no idea if this company releases kernel sources or allows unlocked bootloaders easily.

dude, how many phones did get oreo ? even the recently launched op5t (next to pixel in software updates ) has nougat pre installed . wait for 2018, you will surely get. and believe me, Oreo already has battery drain bug and that's why 8.1 launched recently .
consider famous brands like s8 and note 8 , they are still using nougat.
Of all oreo devices out there now is in beta phase only.
so.. do you want slow update STABLE os or do u want fast update BUGGY os ? believe me, i have used honor 6 and oneplus 3 and i certainly felt like you before switching to oneplus 3 but the weekly or frequent updates made a headache for me. well that's may be just me. but it's also a fact. neither am against a company nor am favouring anyone but i just stated my point
I don't know if everybody here thinks wrong, or I am wrong . Honor v10 comes with Oreo out of the box.

dude, what about Nokias, HTC U11, U11+, some Honors already, Xperia XZ1, Compact, Xiaomi, and many others, not mentioning all with Android One program? And "consider famous brands like s8 and note 8 , they are still using nougat..." Well, thats just Samsung, never been so fast with updates, nor it's a famous brand, the s8 or note 8 (but you've meant models, not brand, right?).
Honor v10 comes with oreo and treble support, so you can't even compare that to pre oreo phones that were born with nougat. In theory the treble support and the fact that Huawei released the kernel sources for this phone straight away, should allow for some decent community development
On top of that, I think Huawei was just giving out 100 free devices to willing developers because they want to strenghth the custom rom community for this phone
I think honor really trying to compete with one plus by helping developers by providing all the hardware details and documentation to develop custom Roms for the Honor View 10 and with the treble support soon we will get many custom Roms. I hope developers will take interest in this device.

What stable os are you talking about..
I bought the view 10 recently .. it was all good till i got the recent face unlock update..
The touch lag is pathetic ( couple of other member's here pointed it out too )
Before the update it was fantastic , but now for a person who types fast its very annoying..

I thought it was just my mobile but found out in this forum couple of other guys too have the same issue ..
Can anyone post their touch latency figure's ?
If anyone could do before and after update it would be highly appreciated
Which community? Since the bootloader is locked this device is crap for me. I will replace my Honor view 10 with an OnePlus . Cu
Dead.. Community development is bad.
Broken recoveries.
Difficult and buggy flash procedures that render different results.
What works on one phone isn'tguaranteed to work on the next of the same make and model.
Really nice hardware.. Just tedious flash procedures.
Many other companies willingly help developers... While honor steals improvements and then locks down their phones.
If you really want a flash friendly phone.. Huawei and honor isn't.
My next phone will be a Samsung Galaxy note 10 international version.
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.

Huawei P9 Lite Oreo

Okey so i have found on a few sites that Huawei P9 Lite will get Oreo so i assume it's a mistake and what they mean is Huawei P9 Lite 2017 edition. So my question is what is your opinion on this and do you think that we will get Oreo. It makes me angry that i payed around 350 euros when this phone came out and i will only get nougat while Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X wich is btw more cheaper, like half the price, already have stable custom Oreo rom and i found on some sites that Xiaomi actually plan on update-ing most od devices to Oreo so WTF HUAWEI WE WANT OREO!!!! Also there are not a lot of custom roms for our device that are usable and stable... Anyone knows why? Is this phone that big of a s**t that no one actually wants to do anything about it. Thank you for reading this now post some opinion or answer!
Tbh you are kinda overreacting. It takes a lot, and i say, A LOT of optimizations for the rom to be stable.
Take a look at how many people didn't even got nougat.
In my opinion, we have a chance to get oreo, because i think this phone supports Project Treble.
