Hello,
I am the owner of an unlocked P Smart 2018 running PhHusson's generic ROM, thank to his work.
This ROM was based on android 8.1, and required EMUI 8.
I am thinking about moving to a more recent version (PhHusson's, or Haki's AOSP 10 if they are not the same), but it would need me to upgrade EMUI from 8 to 9.1.
I have two questions about that:
1/ does it worth the pain ? (driver optimizations, better security, more recent apps ?)
2/ if yes, would the upgrade from EMUI 8 to 9.1 lock the device, or block/complicate the flashing of custom ROMs ?
I was not confident the first time I flashed my phone, additional difficulties would be a con- argument.
Thank for your interest,
potato

I want to replace the ROM on my Huawei P8 Lite ALE-L21.
Currently installed: Android 5.0.1 ALE-L211C432B190.
Please help me choose a ROM that would be best for this phone (in your opinion), considering:
- Android version newer than 5.0.1
- Supports Dual Sim
- rooted
- Stable (i need a ROM that is not experimental, but suitable for day to day use, something reliable)
- Has no bugs with hardware/software (eg. sensors, or other features)
- doesn't slow the phone significantly
I am aware this type of question often annoys people (as anyone may consider a different ROM as "best"), but if you can leave your personal feelings aside and give your best 2 cents in answering my request would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
I use AOSPA by surdu, this rom have a better battery life than the original emui and it just works fine, I had RROS in the past but AOSPA is more stable
Thanks @BananeMan1
I've got into some trouble with my phone (bootloader became locked after installing the updates to get EMUI 4.1)
I posed the issue here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/help/p8lite-ale-l21-unlock-bootloader-t3779631
I have some problems with AOSPA:
- Can't access Phone or SIM contacts, only gmail contacts
- Any imported contacts (VCF) went to gmail account and there is no way to save them in Phone or SIM.
- as is not EMUI, HiSuite doesn't work.
While I'm sure it would be fun to try all ROMs made here, for sure I lack the necessary time, therefore I would like to know which ROM is EMUI and works with HiSuite (if any).

This is Lineage OS 13 for p8 lite. It is unofficial, but it is stable. I currently don't know whether that supports saving contacts to the sim card. But you better have a look at the thread.
There is also an Oreo ROM, which is unstable at the moment and doesn't recommend that.
There is also the Lineage OS 14 for p8 lite 2017.
Yours is 2015 so it won't support neither yours or mine.

I've got an opportunity to get a new t380 for free. Can anyone tell me if the OS can still be updated from nougat to pie? Also, considering this is a 2017 build, is it even worth the effort?
Thanks for your thoughts,

Hello, Yes, the device has Android Pie One UI, it is also possable to get twrp and get masigk running, though you will most likey want to stick to Android Nougat beacuse in Android Pie, Masigk is not installing. But this can change. Also there is no custom roms for the 2017 Tab A, but this can change. The tablet will most likey not get android 10, but aleast you will get longer support on Android Pie than on Android Nougat.
Hello,
I desperatly want to downgrade my M30s (SM-M307FN) back to android 9.
It seems that i have no chances with the official firmwares because my current bootloader is now ver 3 and there is no ver 3 android 9 firmware.
My current Software is :
PDA = M307FNXXU2BTD1
CSC = M307FNOJM2BTG1
What are my available options ?
If I unlocked my bootloader and installed TWRP, would that allow me to use the official android 9 firmware and downgrade ?
IF not?
Is there Any know stable Custom Roms that would bring me Android 9 and known to work smoothly on M30s ?
I have no experince with custom roms, so i need directd roms recommendations if possible.
Please
If your device supports Treble, then you can flash GSI using TWRP. You can learn if your device support Treble by installing this app: Treble Check. You'll see all of the information you will need. By the way, please be careful about the partitioning of your phone. If it is A/B partitioned, then you will need an A/B GSI.
You can also check the GSI list here : GSI list.
Hello! I just want to update my galaxy tab 4 7.0 (sm-t239) lte to android 6.0 or higher
Any custom os or rom would do. Help me if anyone knows please
Thanks in advance!
No. Basically Impossible. The marvel pxa1088 chip in this device, never had it's sources (of drivers for hardware, to make a higher version of android work on this device and successfully activate and use the hardware) released. Developers essentially have nothing to start with.
Someone reverse engineered, supposedly from the stock firmware, and built an android 5.0 lollipop ROM but it is definitely impossible to use as essentially NOTHING worked, including Wi-fi.
So unfortunately you can't. Better buy a phone/tablet with exynos/Snapdragon chipsets inside as those got more support.
