I know this posting here is kinda off track. It's like comparing bananas with apples. But it's kind of depressing... not even released but TWRP is already available.
[Mate 8 General] SanHelios:
BTW, i talked to a programmer via Facebookpage of Cyanogenmod about porting CM to the Mate 8. He gave me this Link

https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro

I tried it myself, but i already have problems unlocking the bootloader and rooting the device... Anyone got experience what and how to do thus stuff?
[Mate 8 General] Pfeffernuss:
Kirin, Exynos, all doomed. If you want AOSP/CM support it's best to buy a phone with a mainstream and dev-supported CPU.

Luckily the Mate 8 is, imho at least, fast and smooth as it is so not a lot of complaints on this side.

Plus, running CM the camera usually is worse (is that possible on the Mate 8? :cool: ) so that's also a disadvantage :good:

[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
well, twrp was available for the mate 8 right away as well. just that custom roms came a bit later :) but dont despair, i mean, we already have 5 different custom roms to choose from! thats a good start
[Mate 8 General] SanHelios:
There are? I'm confused... Not that i'm complaining or rushing, it's just hard to differentiate between posts that there will never be any cm/custom rom and posts stating that there will be. Now five ones are existing. :D

Uhh..., hopefully not the Final Five... haha.
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
well...just take a look in the mate 8 android dev section? :p
[Mate 8 General] Pfeffernuss:
Those are custom stock roms. While still custom, they're not as custom as can be obviously. Nothing like AOSP / CMx / Blisspop / etc. :good:
[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
shall we call them customized instead of fully custom? ^^

[Mate 8 General] ajsmsg78:
Which is BS because Android is supposed to be open source where people actually share things. I feel like in the past two years or so that changed and I'm not happy about it. When you're developing, even getting help if you're not so good is almost impossible. No one wants to explain how they did something when you ask. They ask you why you need to know and are reluctant to tell. Kangvip is just an example.

Think I'm going to sell my Mate 8.

I've got a Nextbit Robin I can use in the meantime and at least that has active development. We've got two people on our forums making modified versions of stock, and it looks like we have no hope in hell of ever getting CM/AOSP.

I spent so many fun hours tinkering and trying out different ROMs for my phones over the years and I'm not really willing to give that up now.
[Mate 8 General] Jake2kOne:
Goodbye
[Mate 8 General] kickassdave:
Thank you for the kind parting message.

Or was that sarcasm perhaps??

The point is, if you like to tinker with your phone and try out different ROMs, this is not the right phone for you. People should probably accept that, as I now have.

Cya.
[Mate 8 General] Jake2kOne:
Maybe a bit of both ;)

Why do you buy a phone before you know for sure there will be mod/rom support?

IIRC other Huawei also haven't CM13.

Don't get me wrong, I loved CM13 on my LG G3 and on my Galaxy S2, but this was not the intention why i bought the Mate 8.

If CM13 will ever come to the Mate, I will definately flash it. If not, then not.

I can understand you totally, but I can't understand why you bought the Mate 8.
[Mate 8 General] Pfeffernuss:
The Mate 8 is incredibly smooth and fast as it is, the battery life is amazing, no need for CM13 here.

Plus, the camera won't be any better as well ;) Really like the latest stock camera app.

So no, Emui 4.1 will do. Very happy with all the options (especially with Kang tools).

Then again, YMMV :good:
[Mate 8 General] mahawa:
Any kirin device won't be getting any love from Cyanogen same as Exynos models of the Galaxy line.If you want Cyanogen,Buy a Snapdragon based smartphone.
[Mate 8 General] kickassdave:
To be fair guys, stock EMUI is definitely in need of some optimisations. It is definitely holding the hardware back in some respects. There are a number of simple yet annoying things I've found with the stock firmware.

I checked out the XDA forums prior to purchase and noted some custom ROMs on there, admittedly jumped the gun on buying it, which I actually now really regret. Yes it is a nice phone, and yes stock isn't too shabby at all, but having no options and no alternatives is holding this beast back from being something I can "love".
[Mate 8 General] hamadazh:
thank you so much anyway for tried and for me I'm happy with my mate 8 with CM or without it, I use kang rom and realy a very good rom.
[Mate 8 General] Pfeffernuss:
Change region to hw_cm13 and if that works it might just be relevant here.

Otherwise: off-topic it is.
[Mate 8 General] Pfeffernuss:
This "mod" is not even remotely related to CM13.

Please don't fill this thread with off-topic nonsense, please.
[Mate 8 General] SanHelios:
Is there a way to block people? Just asking in general...

I really have to admit, it's strange to see what's going on in here... Months and months have gone by, but still no sign of CM for our baby. Maybe there won't be...

What are the main problems? Kirin won't release full drivers and Huawei's Sourcecode release seems to be insufficient for a CM-Build.

A crowd-funded project to create CM was on the table, but somehow it disappeared again... ;(

Sadly, i can't program anything, except "Hello, World"... so what are thje options left?

[Mate 8 General] dannejanne:
That's true. As a matter of fact I run CM now on my Xiaomi Mi Max even though I prefer MIUI. But I get Goggle Play Services drain all the time and it drove me nuts. No such issue on CM.

[Mate 8 General] danterape:
Guys, tbh I'm not sure why do you want to get CM on Huawei M8. I mean it will open a path for devs to make roms but... i really like EMUI rom... It got almost everything I needed (MIUI is a little better and more customizable). On new Samsung Note 7 TouchWiz is lagging.

Maybe EMUI isnt perfect but come on - look at TouchWiz :D

anyway - despite the fact that i love emui - still it will be nice to see CM on our phone.

But i'm not.
[Mate 8 General] danterape:
tell me bro why arent you happy with Emui? im just curious why dont you like it?
[Mate 8 General] SanHelios:
Well, where do i start..

No support for VoIP

Complicated contacts, email, calendar and launcher app

Complicated to set other apps in their place

Region-based division of emui versions literally creates a mess

Especially when it comes to updating

Huawei's obvious ignorance to the very idea of android (an open-source os for every compatible smartphone device) made them release an almost useless kernel...

Why do i own it then? I love the big display, design and its hardware

Why is it so important for me to see CM on this device? Because i believe that this would be a perfect combination...
[Mate 8 General] Boooby:
+1 for SanHelios totally agree with him!

Juste CM and huawei camera apk for me and it can be really good

Everybody should have known prior to buying the Mate 8 that CMxx would be an illusion, in any case for the timing and most probably for ever.

So no idea what all the fuss is about. If one really dislikes Emui buy a Nexus or something and run (plain and boring imho) AOSP or CMxx instead.

[Mate 8 General] jbmc83:
well, i guess for one, the availability of cm on the p9 was definitely a great help. also, honor decided it was a good idea to push for better custom rom support in their honor 8. and since that phone is based on the exact same SoC as the mate 8, we might finally be getting somewhere :)

The fact that Huawei partnered the Honor 8 with XDA is a big deal. Having the option to run CM on this beast will be incredible. Although I like many of the custom features they have with EMUI. it's not as bad as people make it seem, but that's just my opinion :)

It's currently ""booting"" (since 2 days) but it's super buggy (apps/services crashing on boot or after).

I've a todo-list to complete before any testable ROM and it depends upon the upcoming bugs It can be early this week like in mid november. I believe that there is an element of luck when you port a new ROM (without a base, like the proprietary blobs paths :p)
