In my opinion it seems like most of the VIVO X20 "community strenght", if there is any, lives on the "Chinese Internet", unfortunately among spam, malware and people trying to make a buck or two selling spare-parts or "being able to offer the best possible price".
Since I am new to XDA I haven't yet found my way around however VIVO is popular, or even have a user-group to talk about here on XDA. I saw a few posts, but I would love to get in touch with more VIVO users.
My handset is bought in China (I have a VIVO X20 and a VIVO X20 Plus) please feel free to ask me any questions. As I mentioned in a few other threads the thing that breaks my heart is that there is yet no available solution to root the X20/X20+. I wish the community will come together, and that we can make shared efforts to get a root solution possible. It seems like the "Chinese community" failed this time.

It's kind of unfair to have this rating up so early in the game.

U'r ryt, its just launched
so how can we pole in starting on those kind of quests
Am going to voice my early opinions. There's a lot of potential for this dev community to grow but there are reasons which lead to the community to stagger.
1. The Moto G5s Plus was released later.
2. It's not cheap so adoption rates will be slower.
3. In NZ, the Moto G5s Plus is hardly available. Only one physical store and the rest online.
4. Everyone already has the Moto G5 Plus.
Expanding on the last point, the late release of this device really hurt its adoption.
I think there could a lot more cross-model compability.
The stock ROM thread for this device is for the XT1806 and flashing it on other models (XT1803, XT1805, etc.) will pose a severe risk that the warranty team won't buy.
Give it a few months and this community will thrive. We'll be seeing our first 64-bit ROM way before Motorola/Lenovo considers it.
Have a nice day

my brother owns honor 8 and i just love the emui features. EMUI gives you features no other rom provides and love the processors, huawei really keeps one step away from other manufacturers, their homemade processors.
Weiimi P8 Custom ROM Required
Hi,
Please let me know a complete custom ROM for Weiimi P8 as I've found the roms on the internet but they are not complete.
huawei =quality . enough
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.
Why would a company that's useing its own chipset not supporting development?

I'd like to believe that this will come by itself with time. As of now, LG is updating the phone (slowly) so the need isn't that big and fewer people will use custom ROMs. And the community do have the tools and sources to make proper ROMs, don't they? Or is there something needed that LG hasn't released and the community hasn't gotten ahold of?
There are a couple of guides for flashing custom AOSP ROMs in the dev forum. Only for the European model (710EM) but it's something, right?
The big problem is the bootloader closer for the out European models...

Development is not yet good
Some years ago I use to flash all kind of roms in my old Samsung as there was no updates and customisation was very poor.
Currently i don't see that needed. Our at least for me it's not something I'm looking when buying a phone.
I know for others first think is to root the phone. If that's the case I think Huawei is not the best choose.
