Ok, got this. I'm not sure how to use the other code. When I use sudo, it says it does not recognise the command. Any help to do this?

Btw. you can check maybe gabry´s work, at least stock Mate7 Roms are working on the Honor6:

[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] Vicioxis:
Ok so, I managed to use su instead of sudo (not very clever of me) and I'm getting this.

ls -al /dev/block/platform/ff1fe000.dwmmc0/by-name <
/dev/block/platform/ff1fe000.dwmmc0/by-name: No such file or directory
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] Mylnes:
Honor 6 and mate 7 seems to be 2 really close phone. They also missed this file and the build instructions are the exact same.

gabry3795 could build a marshmallow aosp for the mate7, I guess we can achieve it too.

I will check the mate 7 MM repo and understand what I need to do.

ls -al /dev/block/platform/ff1fe000.dwmmc0/by-name is not needed anymore. Thanks for your help Vicioxis, which variant do you own ?

cat /proc/partitions gives the expected output, almost nothing has changed, mate 7 hisi_partitions might event work for us.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] Vicioxis:
I have H60-L04, that's why I did this haha! By the way, if you need something similar, I can help, I'm gonna follow this post and let's see if we can build this!

Btw, Gaby had the problem that kernel sources were not available for him, so maybe with Honor 6 will be easier?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] Mylnes:
gabry3795 had the sources for the mate 7 just like us. They even have the exact same instructions builds because we use the same soc.

I just made a flashable boot.img with this compiled kernel. Everything seems ok.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] Vicioxis:
So, what's the next step?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] Mylnes:
We need to to build our aosp and install it.

Then the real fun begins, we will need to modify the kernel and the system both to fix issues.

Thanks to the MM aosp mate7 and our cm11 we should be able to find what we need fast.

I don't know how to build and install an aosp yet and I don't know how to use their github modifications.

I'm quit busy lately, I only work for a day each week.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] droidbot1337:
Hello Mylnes, so far it seems that you have made some very good progress. If you haven't yet you should pm gabry3795 and share information regarding these phones. I'm sure both of you along with everyone else who is able to help can revive these devices. Good luck!
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] AB11930:
Guys please i beg you we need this rom even though its beta or what i dont care but i dont want emui anymore it lags a lot while doing some heavy thing on it. Please
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] Vicioxis:
Yes, EMUI is soooo heavy for our smartphones. When I bought this phone I noticed slowdowns when opening the task manager and closing apps, when in my Moto G this didn't happen. And this phone is much more powerful than a Moto G. I hope we can have our AOSP ROM for our Honor 6! If testing is needed or something, count on me. I have my phone rooted and TWRP installed just for helping in this thread.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] TuomasRizt:
Hope you guys can build cm13 for our phone. :) That would be awesome if codeworkx helps us. Why u dont make new thread for cm13? I have H60-L04 unlocked bootloader, rooted and twrp and i can be beta tester too. I am really noob but i can do something :D (sry for my bad english)
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] Mylnes:
Hi,

I installed mate7 aosp on h60-l12 and it works.

It's mostly broken, I get a lot of random crash, google play services does not work, It's not really usable but It's the best we have. There's many bugs to solve.

I will work as soon as I can on his project to improve the rom for our both phones, only the phone name and the dpi needs to be adapted for us, I guess we can make it work this way on our phone.

The room feels super smooth anyway, we get much more animations than in emui.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] sado1:
That's a very welcome news. Let's hold our excitement for now though, their build is very unstable on their own phone and it needs a few months of work at least; however, your experience indicates that it should be possible to join forces with them (I don't even know whether we have any active devs around, capable of the work they/we would need to be done...).
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] AB11930:
The only dev i know for our device is codeworkx and spaorang(correct me if i am wrong)
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] galaxyYtester:
How did you get it to install, did you have to modify the .zip file in some way? Or does it work by just flashing the Mate 7 .zip in recovery as it is?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] zia1288:
just flash the zip file. no need to modify anything.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] AB11930:
do we get signal for our mobile network??
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] zia1288:
It is a beta build so you can expect many bugs. About signals, they didn't come when i flashed it. I did factory reset and signals came. Don't flash if it is your primary device. As it is not daily usable yet.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] AB11930:
Although it's my daily use device but i still gonna flash it cz emui is ver lagy at thia moment. And about the signal i only want for calling. And i will try to figure out some fix for our daily use
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] zia1288:
I tried the beta v 01, maybe some issues are rectified in beta 2. Best of luck.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] Mylnes:
I use it as a daily driver but I don't recommend it.

I get random crash typing, browsing, calling. Anything can crash.

Downloads does not work.

If someone is able to use repo sync on this project let me know, it does not work for me yet.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] MaRtYy01:
Cant believe that mate 7 aosp actually works without any kind of porting.Its different device with kirin 925(we have 920,practically means that 925 is extremely lightly higher clocked 920,1.8ghz instead of 1.7).Also display driver and the rest should be the same?Seriously,thats amazing.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] Venipa:
So cm devs could do this with ease with the provided source
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] AB11930:
OK I am on AOSP currently this ROM is super smooth the performance is great, I only get app crash once when I reboot the device or try to open that app lil bit while. But the only one problem here you will find annoying is once you login to your google acc and try to open play store the phone keeps on rebooting so I have currently disabled the play store app. But rest is good. The phone gets heated pretty quick. But the rest of that is working good for me
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] zia1288:
Let's hope that this rom gets stabilized soon.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] sado1:
I would strongly advise against using this as a daily driver, especially if the phone is overheating. Let's be patient :)
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] Vicioxis:
Let's hope we can do this, because I thought a lot of times about selling this phone and getting another one with stock Android just because EMUI. I didn't thought it would be so bad on the performance, my old Moto G is faster when using the system UI.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] Venipa:
Can someone upload the current working mate7 cm13 for h60-l04?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] MaRtYy01:
Its aosp not cm13 but still,thats beta 0.0.2:

http://redirect.viglink.com/?format...end Mate7 | Huawei Ascend Mate 7&txt=Download

Havent reuploaded it,but link works(idk if anyone has tested it on h60-l04 yet).
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] Vicioxis:
Soooo with the kernel and the ROM, could we port it to our device? Or with the boot.img that [MENTION=7748401]Mylnes[/MENTION] did? Sorry for the noobish questions here, but I'm trying to learn a bit how this ROM things work.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] Mylnes:
http://xdaforums.com/mate-7/orig-development/rom-aosp-ascend-mate7-t3465656

Don't use it as a daily driver if you want more than a feature phone :p

The kernels looks similar to me between the mate 7 and the honor 6, it seems the mate 7 is only an honor 6 with a bigger screen and fingerprint scanner and they rebrand it.

In my opinion It's faster to use this already working build than work on our side. We can share progress together.

I could not build this version yet but if I they could produce images there's a way to build it.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] Venipa:
well i got free time so i can work again ill try to stabilize it. trying on H60-L04

Edit 1: omg this fluent rom is making my fingers make an orgasm lel

Edit 2: I've removed nfc from the phone since H60-L04 has none. Its more stable now
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] Vicioxis:
Nice! I know it HAS to be very fluid! We have a very powerful smartphone in our hands and it's all screwed because EMUI eats a lot of resources. And may I ask about battery life? Did you notice any improvement? Does the device get warm? And if you think it's ready for everyday use you can post it here so we can test and find the possible problems of the ROM!
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] Venipa:
omg this much free ram :D

Also, how about sensors? Could you look at CPU-Z or Antutu if sensors are working correctly? If you want I can post a picture of my results to compare and see if there is any sensor that needs some fix.

---------- Post added at 10:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

OMG OMG I want this too! But for now I think it's better to have installed the stock ROM so I can help more? I don't know, maybe this weekend I check out the ROM, because I'm trying to resist all the time!
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] lumiannah:
I have a spare H60-L04, I could test any releases and provide logs if that would help. I tried v0.0.2beta for the Mate7 - couldn't get mobile internet to work and gapps caused looping.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] Venipa:
You need to Setup your APN to use Mobile data.

Gapps Works for me.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] AB11930:
Any progress yet guys??
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] sado1:
I've got an advice, don't hold your breath. Mate 7's build is still very unstable, it needs maybe a month, maybe 3... it seems to boot on Honor 6 at least for some people/on some variants of the device, so whatever is done for Mate 7, should be working for us as well. Let's be patient.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] goldfinv:
Still ways to go on the mate 7 ROM but there's progress so far. Mobile data and gapps working for me. Almost everything crashes tho. Calls work fine. Antutu fcs halfway into benchmarks. Phone also ran hot.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] hamzio7:
Hey guys... does anyone knows if the process on the mate 7 is still going or stopped???

there is no updates on the project... i hope that they don't stop it...
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] MaRtYy01:
They are still working on it,of course.We just gotta wait.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] Vicioxis:
But when the Mate 7 is finished what we have to do is to port it using the sources provided by Huawei, am I wrong?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] hamzio7:
i have tested the mate 7's rom on my H60-L04

it worked without changing anything...
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] Vicioxis:
Yes, but someone said that the phone gets hot, and maybe it's because of the different CPU on the Mate 7 that has higher frequencies and maybe higher voltage and we may need to adjust things like that. And same with the GPU, it has more EU's, and there is maybe some configuration that makes our GPU run hot.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] hamzio7:
I think if the ROM gets stabilized for the mate 7 then the devs can adjust those settings for our phone too...
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] hamzio7:
I am selling my phone... I don't think that I will see this ROM on Honor 6
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] TuomasRizt:
Dont say like thar man
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] MaRtYy01:
Im almost sure we will see a improved rom,probably after a few months.I will keep my Honor 6 for years,no matter will we get aosp or no,its really future proof and emui lags extremely rare(not s surprise with 3gb ram and octacore cpu).
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] ashish12:
please build someone cm 13
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] Vicioxis:
I would like to try to make an AOSP ROM, but I don't know if it is possible. I searched a lot through the internet for tutorials on how to make a ROM, and all I see is that you need a rom like cm13 or aosp made from another developer to port it. But we don't have it, so where do I begin? Is there some tutorial that explains how to create the FIRST ROM for a device? I know I'm being incredibly noob here, but it's just I can't understand who creates the first ever ROM and how. And I would like to create it if I find the correct tutorial and I'm sure I'm in the right path, because right now I see a lot of tutorials that I don't know if they teach to do what I want to do. Thanks.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] TuomasRizt:
But we have cm11
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] CX&==:
Whit KK 4.4.4 :eek:
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] AB11930:
The only problem for me that almost every app gets crashed frequently, if that is fixed there would be no issues for me. I dont want all the sensors too.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] adriansticoid:
I hope someone utilizes the released code.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] Ahmad45123:
Hey guys, So I just downloaded the CM14.1 source code in an attempt to get android 7.1 to our phone.. I am still in the very very very early stages and I am still just collecting information about device and building the recovery. (Being able to build a working recovery is the first important step to build cyangonmod)

NOTE: This is my first ever port, I am just TRYING and I don't really guarantee any results :p But I just wanted to see how many people would be interested.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] MaRtYy01:
EVERYONE would be interested.Kirin devices usually dont get much support because of lack of source(lately we got emui 4 source for our honor 6 tho).Im sure we have working TWRP 3.0.0.2,there was link somewhere in the forum.

Good luck. :good:
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] Venipa:
I've published the emui 4.0 source with its dependencies.

You could even build this ROM for the mate 7 also.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] AB11930:
We wont get rom sooner thats for sure cz it needs lots of fixes(AOSP). I'm really tired of Emui. And only thing i get to know that i will not buy any huawei phones cz they dont give support and no other rom developers in honor devices
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] AB11930:
I just messaged codeworkx, he said

There's only kernel sourcecode.

This isn't enough to make a high quality custom rom.

I'd have to use a lot of precompiled libs which means that i can't do bugfixes caused by those libs

There is no point of waiting for custom rom.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] Ectoplazzm:
Sad.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] MaRtYy01:
Maybe we should contact honor and ask for complete source?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] adriansticoid:
Wr already did. Multiple times.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] MaRtYy01:
And what did they reply?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] adriansticoid:
They we're releasing incomplete and messed up codes.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] AB11930:
This thread is now dead
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] Ectoplazzm:
Honestly, I dont believe, that good custom for honor 6 can happend.. Too much time has gone.

Huawei dont care
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] Vicioxis:
After all this time, finally I decided to sell my Huawei Honor 6 and buy a Moto G4. It's sad that a great phone like this is abandoned by the manufacturer just by not releasing the complete source code. Thanks to everyone who has participated in this thread, I salute everyone of you!
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] MaRtYy01:
Well,happy downgrade to you.If you wanted custom roms that much we have kangvip,the point of the smartphone is to run apps and games and currently honor 6 can do all of this flawless and fast.Snapdragon 617 is sh1ttier than Kirin 920,and since lenovo bought moto support will be fu(ked up,moto g3 and g turbo wont get 7.0,so g4 might not see 8.0 .

Cant believe somebody actually replaced the whole phone because of lack of rom support,lmao.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] hamzio7:
Will some users get tired of the same user interface and software...and they don't care about the hardware...i.e i replaced my honor 6 for a honor 3c and i am really enjoying it more than my honor 6...you don't buy a phone only for apps...but you use it as a daily driver...and some times the UI doesn't do the job...
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] MaRtYy01:
What...you actually replaced honor 6 for a mt6582 device?!OMGG XDDDD you better be kidding,you cant be serious.....

3C runs stock android with emui launcher since its a knockoff mtk phone and companies dont put skins on them since they can be easily ported to everything...

I also used mt6582 phone with kitkat kernel until last year,its laggy,chipset is outdated and marshmallow is probably the last version that it will see.

EMUI does the job just perfectly fine,I dont know a single app that cant run on honor 6 and mt6582 is just crap nowadays(although back in 2014 and until middle 2015 it was king of the low budget phones).
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] hamzio7:
Yes ...i am not kidding ... I replaced my honor 6 for a honor 3c...

And I am saving money to buy a new phone with a snapdragon SOC and I think that Xiaomi mi 5s is a good choice...

I love pure AOSP and I'm really tired of EMUI it's very ugly...i was a themer for EMUI and i think it is so boring...
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] MaRtYy01:
Mi 5s rocks from everywhere although miui is nearly the same as emui,even worse if you ask me.At least custom roms can be build for it for sure.Good luck with your choice.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] hamzio7:
I am not buying it for MIUI...I am buying it because of the Custom ROMs...As you said MIUI AND EMUI ARE TWINS... Chinese twins at least...and thanks.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] Vicioxis:
It was because I just didn't like EMUI in any way. I found it laggy and full of errors, for example Spotify automatically skipped songs on its own and I lost all my skips. Also the task manager is VERY slow compared to the one of stock android. The quick settings on the notification bar were annoying to use and the settings, a place where I spend some really good time, were all messed up just to be like the iPhone ones. And yes, I don't need that much performance, the Moto G4 feels much quicker, the only difference I notice is in a game called The Trail. In other games like Assassin's Creed Identity and Final Fantasy Mobius, surprisingly the Moto G4 performs better than the Honor 6.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] Henrikx:
Sad that such a great phone is broken because of ****ty software and support. Over at the Mate thread they seem to have figured out the Google Play crash, so there may be hope.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] MaRtYy01:
Cant really call it broken.You know whats broken?To have a phone with 1.5gb usable storage and not being able to move any app to sdcard without a custom rom(my old desire 310 in a nutshell).

But still,emui is quite sh1tty,currently emui 5 looks awesome compared to 4 but huawei desided to ''f0ck the older devices'' so we wont get it.The aosp project seems promising,and one more thing,I read somewhere that leeco had to release FULL source after they entered the US market directy because of something there(law or idk for full source,google it I guess).Huawei will most likely enter the US market too,so I guess we will get full source at some point? :eek:
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] Henrikx:
All we can do is hope.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] jkccl9:
leeco didnt have to release full source, they wanted to so then there would be more 3rd party developmet etc to attract more buyers to a less known oem. huawei wont release their sources either anytime soon, they have no reason to
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] Venipa:
I've been in contact with huawei again and they said that i posted was already the full source of their rom.
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] MaRtYy01:
So cant anyone at least try to build cm13?On theory,we can even build cm14 since nearly all drivers from marshmallow should work on nougat.

I think the actualy problem here is that we dont have any active devs XD
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] AB11930:
Yes.. Currently the aosp ROM is bit usable with less apps fc. We need a devs for some stable work
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] jkccl9:
yes, but the phone is 2years old and codeworkx dropped development as it was too time consuming to fix the bugs etc
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Android Development] AB11930:
I have been using this ROM from past 2-3 days and it's pretty stable to be honest. I have been playing games, the performance is smooth. The only problem is the camera and some apps still won't start.
