Re: Regarding the XDA community and Honor 8 partnership

Hi there,

I can give you an explanation for everything. Can you please post it so everyone can see? Here it is:

Hi everyone! I just wanted to give you an update on Honor and the release of their kernel source, as well as our efforts to encourage development on Honor devices on XDA.

We started working with them in August 2016. One of the stipulations of our partnership was that they make kernel source available, to encourage development.

By October, they had released kernel source for the Honor 8. As a result, we had healthy development with early builds of CyanogenMod (now LineageOS, of course), as well as RR, working TWRP, and more. This was thanks in large part to a small team of Honor developers we assembled, comprised of [MENTION=2335078]surdu_petru[/MENTION], [MENTION=7354786]XePeleato[/MENTION], and [MENTION=6435663]hackslash[/MENTION]. This team also submitted to me a request to Honor to fill in some missing spots in their kernel source release, specifically the Trustzone driver, and precompiled libraries compatible with AOSP. Around that time, our partnership with Honor was ending.

Since early 2017, all kernel source has disappeared from Huawei's website, much to our disappointment, and yours. We are in contact with Honor, and soon to renew our agreement, and they claim that kernel source will be back online by the end of May. Since Huawei is such a big company and things are very slow, it might take longer than that. Also, we're not sure if they will re-release the MM kernel source, or that for Nougat. We are awaiting their answer but we are heavily pushing them to do what the community wants.

We made significant progress with Honor in 2H 2016 thanks to our agreement, and we hope that starting in June, we will resume this progress with the goal of opening up Honor devices, including the new Honor 8 Pro, so that developers have what they need and users can enjoy customization of their devices.

Please PM me anytime with any questions or concerns.

We all Honor 8 users are very satisfide with the phone it self

But a big number of us are just disappointed with the

Huawei Honor 8 agreement between Huawei and XDA community

to give us not just better support but also the source code..

I am here not as a developer couse I am not one

I am here couse I want to speak in the name of

all Honor 8 users ( allmost all of us are disappointed )

with someone from the XDA community

I want that someone form the XDA community who can and is willing to

give me ( over the mail ) some answer or to all of us in the forum of Honor 8

if Huawei and XDA community agreement is just some kind of a lie..

And if not when will we get what is promised to us.. give us some timeline or something..

Please give us something, or do something for what is promised to us

Couse many Honor 8 users are thinking that this is just some sort of a lie

And they are very disappointed and thinking that never will be anything happening

I thing they are so much disappointed that they lost evan the will to ask you on XDA community and are thinking that it is just some sort of a lie

for what is said and promised.. but I am one of the optimist and I am still saying that

the best is yet to come

Hope for some answer and that we still will be getting the support that is promised

And I am hoping not to get disappointed too like many already are

Please give me as soon as possible some answer from either Huawei ( by contacting them as XDA community becouse of the agreement you guys had made for us ) or either some answer just

from the XDA community if you happen to know anything about the things that are promised

by that agreement if and when they will happen..

Thanks for taking your time and reading this

Best regards
