Like I said, BS, there's plenty of software only copy protection schemes that don't lock the product to a memory card or BT dongle...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rsolomon:
You asked why, not for an opinion on whether copy protection is "BS" or not. I bought Mapopolis in part due to their lack of copy protection. Note the existence of keygens for TomTom and not for Garmin and consider whether that's "BS" or not - particularly from the perspective of the software vendor.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:
Obviously you're right, that's why TomTom is a bit player, Right? All that rampant piracy. I don't copy software, I like to believe that most people will pay a fair price for a good product, seems to be working for most vendors. I'd love to try Garmin's and iGo's products, but never will till they take a look outside their shells.

Point taken, nuff said.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] eaglesrest:
TomTom as a company are pants to deal with in my experience, but to slag them off without ever using the product and then link to a 3 year old page as proof?

It does make you look a bit of a divvy ;)

Hey, everyone.

I bought my Mate 8 about two weeks ago. After my personal HTC-Desaster over the last year, i couldn't be happier.

The only thing, that keeps me wondering, is this current OS...

Sooooo, i'm saying it out loud to start the discussion ...

Does anyone know, if and when cm13 for the Mate 8 will be released? :D

This ****ed up my evening!!
[Mate 8 General] SanHelios:
I'm right there with you... :(

Maybe, they will change their mind? I mean so many producers first said, they would never share the code, and suddenly they did.
[Mate 8 General] Techronico:
I guess this is the dividing line...

I'm usually the one recommending phones to people and this phone is a great one, however, if there is no potential to get any AOSP/CM based ROMs on this device, then it is doomed from my recommendation on a large scale.

We should start a petition to change this, but I don't know who will join and if we will be loud enough to get them to listen.

What is the main blocker in this? Source code, vendor blobs, proprietary something-er-other? Is the Kirin impossible to get working because of proprietary drivers? Sounds like we just need more higher level devs to crack this? Maybe we can start a bounty to buy a phone for a dev that has a track record of cracking this kind if issue? Just brainstorming.
[Mate 8 General] SanHelios:
I totally agree with you... This information is a huge game-changer. Kinda ruined my morning too... :crying:

Something needs to be done one way ot the other... petition, bounty. I personally am open to ANY solution.

[Mate 8 General] ufoman:
I agree. On my last phone, HTC One M8, I have used CM for maybe a week TOTAL in 21 months. I have also used Google Play Edition ROM for maybe 2 months. I did not mind Sense ROMs as the performance was best with these, and they had good features as well.

[Mate 8 General] Pfeffernuss:
Have used CM13 on Samsung S4. Rom: great. Camera: worse.

Have used CM13 on LG G3. Rom: great. Camera: worse.

Have used CM13 on LG G4. Rom: great. Camera: worse.

Camera drivers are also often propietary. So if (will probably never happen) CM13 becomes a possibility for the Mate 8 there is always that issue as well.

I'd rather run a custom stock Rom with proper camera than an AOSP one without. And the Mate 8 is fast enough to be a great device, when using another launcher like Nova or Apex for example.

As always:

YMMV

, of course :cool:

[Mate 8 General] _skypol0:
I was faaar from porting CM this last week :p (hackathons, holidays and co).

I'm back since this morning!

It's still messy and untestable without a console, I need to debug some libs that manage android services (like UI, audio, RIL etc.).

NB that It's a from scratch port (without having the vendors), so it's a bit longer :)

Mate 8 CM-13 - Please wait...

Hi guys,

One day, X issues solved (when I work on the ROM, otherwise I need to sleep or do something else sometime :p)

I worked all weekend on it, filtering the proprietary blobs. I managed to clean all the mess, this is clearer now.

Since four hours, I'm facing an issue coming from the runtime init'. Need to debug, search, compile (just 2 hours now...), test etc... this is not as simple as that ^^

If you want to follow the porting progress, have a look at the dedicated github's board. https://github.com/PaulFasola/android_device_huawei_next/projects/1
[Mate 8 General] juggaknot77:
Do your thing man and take your time, I'm excited for the end result...
[Mate 8 General] _skypol0:
This was ;)

I took example especially on the ramdisk composition (which files to take/remove) several days ago

(and Surdu is credited in my code obviously)
[Mate 8 General] android09:
Definitely looks great how far you already are and how much much you have beyond you!
[Mate 8 General] _skypol0:
The runtime has been fixed since last night.

Now, the media daemon is failing because of missing files for the sound/ressources/audio management *next task!*

I hope to have something user-testable by the end of the week (at this step, we are far from the kernel init ^^ more or less)
[Mate 8 General] _skypol0:
Hi guys,

I may have a little news for you tomorrow or this night ;)
[Mate 8 General] danywalkert:
Really!? Sweet!
[Mate 8 General] rophiroth:
Nice job! How hard would be port your actual efforts to then upgrade to cm14? I'm enjoying android 7.0 meanwhile :P
[Mate 8 General] _skypol0:
Erm... let's try to fully make it for CM-13 and wait for the others to debug the 14 one (CM-13 is still not perfect at this time).

When the device tree will be fully archieved and optimized, upgrading to the next version will make sense.

(and it shouldn't be harder than this one, since I extracted the vendor blobs)

Edit : this is wrong, we will have to extract the 7.0 ramdisk and vendors, so those extracted actually may not be usefull.

Oh and... http://www.nashvillechatterclass.co...-0-nougat-update-emui-5-0-almost-ready/10774/

We need 7.0.0 eh ;)
[Mate 8 General] juggaknot77:
Whatever version of CM is good with me, as long as we can get a working CM I'll be extremely grateful for your hard work.
[Mate 8 General] android09:
[MENTION=7725735]_skypol0[/MENTION] Do you think that you'll be able to upload the ROM tonight? If so I would stay up :D
[Mate 8 General] _skypol0:
Tonight ? :laugh: nope.

(even if I'm preparing a blogpost)

Please, follow the card "Make a testable ROM" from https://github.com/PaulFasola/android_device_huawei_next/projects/1

When this one will be inside the 'done' collumn, this will be a matter of hours.

No need to say that the future alpha ROM will be buggy and I'll encourage experimented users/testers to flash it only.

I just

can't

say when this last will be released.

4am, I'm working tomorrow so the next porting time will be the next night.

And no, telling this compared to your last edited comment: porting is not so simple :p.

I don't know if it's Huawei specific nor if it's because CM love Qualcomm SoC (and just like the others).

The best is to try and realize ^^

- Screen density is wrong in the config (smaaal buttons)

- No virtual buttons (easy to fix)

-No SD card!

I'll do some extra hours tonight :)

---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 PM ----------

They open sourced their 3..x.x kernel (L-29 afaik) saying they will never do that.

Concerning their libraries, nope, they are not sharing the source code (this is why everything is so hard).
[Mate 8 General] android09:
Looks great, I took a look at the the porting status, it's getting closer and closer!

Btw: I never said that porting CM, especially to the Mate 8, is easy, I just asked what you couldn't fix so far ;)
[Mate 8 General] _skypol0:
Oh, mb so :o - This was not about a bug to fix but almost 15, without any clue about when CM will init the services managing UI/systems, quite discouraging, until yesterday :)
[Mate 8 General] android09:
If you actually upload a testable ROM tonight I'll definitely directly donate something ;)
[Mate 8 General] _skypol0:
I don't work for donations but mainly for myself, because I want CM on my device :) and people who like my work are free to donate, I would be happy!

But I won't scamp a release. (an alpha above all)

It's about not sharing something that could (hard ?) brick devices ^^ or damage hardware.

For example : the service that manage system shutdown in case of overheat is malfunctioning - I let you imagine in case of problems.

I'll definitively release an alpha this week, but you have to wait a bit more ;)

Hey guys,

I'm ready to send you a preview of CM-13 for the Mate 8.

Working:

- Home with launchers

- Themes / animated themes

- WiFi

- Google Apps (need a custom zip for now)

- TWRP (for Mate 8)

Not working:

- Audio

- RIL (SIM)

- Bluetooth

- NFC

- Fingerprint

Known bugs :

- Screen sometime won't wake up (while in sleep mode), need to restart

- No charge animation

The question is : do you want me to release the current state or do you prefer to wait for at least audio/RIL ?

I'll make a new dev post (in the Mate 8 Android Development section), once uploaded).

[Mate 8 General] kunalmalviya:
I am usually a supporter of CM roms but with this phone I absolutely don't see a reason to use any other ROMs. EMUI is very nicely optimized for the device. Great features, battery life and good enough camera. If I want to make it look like AOSP I will just install Nova launcher. Mate 8 is one of the very few phones that I like more with stock rom. If it was some other phone I would have rooted and changed the ROM within an hour of buying.
[Mate 8 General] SanHelios:
I really wish, i could share your confidence with the current Huawei-Rom. Maybe i will be willing to change my mind about it, when this notification bug is gone.

Getting notified Whatsapp-texts 7 hours after "received" them is just a really big turn-off. :crying:

Perhaps i need to learn more about this region/firmware/ota-jungle... I'm starting to get an idea what to do to change my C636B103 to a european firmware, but still not confident enough to flash anything with this... and the last thing i need is an expansive dust-catcher... :eek: :D

[Mate 8 General] greyhulk:
As much as I'd love to have CM13 on this thing, it would mostly just be to fix the notification issues. If Huawei would just address that, I'd be happy. Some of the software modifications they made are actually cool (like the dialer) and I don't have a problem with EMUI. There's a serious issue with doze in this ROM, though. I have it disabled and everything is working fine now, but battery life is definitely taking a hit.
