Tested that Nilkin tempered glass.. i wonder why they took are money...the silliest tempered from Nilkin... they could make it larger not that tiny ****..

Anyway.. anyone get a decent tempered? I don't know if our screen has ANY protection.. can't find any info, but if anyone is using a tempered that covers the screen from side to side could give me the link please.?

All the research I've done thus far points to most screen protectors being to small by design. Proper sized screen protectors for the HNN8 are advertised as being "Huawei Honor Note 8 Tempered Glass 6.6" Full Cover Glass Screen Protector" . I have ordered a few from aliexpress and will be glad to post feedback once they arrive. I cant provide links yet as I am still a new member.

I hope this helps

You need to check permissions of play store. Make sure it has permission to access storage.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] benmeroff:
Play Store

I couldn't find the Play Store in the HiApp Store after installing Xposed BO22, so I found the APK and manually installed it; it opens correctly and loads my Google Account, but trying to download any app results in it getting stuck saying "downloading" with no progress ever made. I've checked that all permissions are enabled for it, cleared its data, tried making it a system app, and even manually updated to the latest Google Play Services, but nothing makes it actually start an app download.

I also previously tried installing Nano GAPPS over the Xposed BO22, but that seems to royally screw up the default launcher and home button mapping, no matter what custom launcher I'm using.

Any thoughts, or any solutions you guys have?

Any AOSP or AOSPA development in the process?

Unless I'm mistaken, we don't yet have the Honor Note 8's official source, meaning there's little developers can do until they have something to work with.

You can see there was the latest BO22 flashable system posted a while back with Xposed installed, but other than that, not much has been done so far in the way of custom ROMs. Your best bet would just be to unlock your bootloader and have TWRP installed for now, I'm just waiting for someone to truly unlock this phone's potential...

The hardware on this phone is amazing but I am really hoping to get some AOSP goodness on this phone. I'm not really feeling EMUI... at all.

Working GAPPS installation method

So no matter what I tried, I couldn't get the Google Play Store to work, and for whatever reason I could never find it in the HiApp store where everyone said to look; I tried every single different GAPPS package I could find, manually installed each Google framework app that I could find, but either the apps wouldn't work with the EMUI system, or they would actually load but the Play Store wouldn't download anything (mildly infuriating after a while).

If you also can't find the Google Play store in the HiApp store like me, don't try manually sideloading anything as that method never fully worked for me; I found this Google Installer meant for MIUI ROMs without Google preinstalled, and it completely worked for the BO22 system. First you need to uninstall every Google component (I used Titanium Backup), then run the Google Installer app and let it install everything (EMUI will flag most of the installers as unverified, install anyway).

After that, I rebooted and the Google Play Store worked like a charm. Some preinstalled Huawei apps may not want to update through the Google Play store, haven't really messed with them yet but I might try seeing what Titanium Backup's market connection settings can fix there.

Anyway, this method worked for me, hopefully this can work for you too.

UPDATE ---- The seller who I bought my phone from on Gizok just got back to me and told me to use this exact installer, they actually have a page outlining it that I didn't catch before... and if you don't have anything Google installed beforehand, root isn't even required.

Also, anybody here had any success in installing Viper4Android?

Thanks.
[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] benmeroff:
I haven't tried that ROM yet, but I'm downloading it now. The nice thing with 128GB of space means plenty of room for TWRP backups... By the way, the chinese symbol 刷 seems to be translated to "brush" with Google translate, when I think it more accurately translates to "flash" in the context of these threads.

On the note of Viper4Android, I got it working on mine with the attached flashable ZIP, you'll need to set the SELinux mode to permissive on each boot to ensure the driver keeps processing. I've generally had the most success with this Viper installer as it installs driverless, but others might work as well. The main key is to ensure your SELinux mode remains permissive, or Viper4Android doesn't like to process audio.

I'll add the link to the parent Google Drive folder in a new post here.

Hey all!

I went ahead and made a Google Drive folder here for testing these Chinese ROMs, but I can also host everything else including recoveries or any other extra stuff we'd want available.

NOTE----

I set my Google Drive client to ignore downloading files (ending in .downloading) for the future, but it's already uploaded one and I can't remove it yet as it will try to delete it locally too (while still downloading). Just ignore anything that doesn't end in ZIP for now, once that file finishes downloading Google Drive should reupload and rename it in the cloud as well.

I had to restart the download, so Google Drive removed the temp file. No more temp download files should be uploaded from now on.

I will be getting my Note 8 in the next few days. My buddy is bringing it to me from China. He is supposed to have landed in Toronto today, so hopefully either tonight or tomorrow I can grab it. I'll be using it on BELL so I'll report how well it works!

I have lots of experience in rooting, roms, mods, etc, mostly in using them and how they work as opposed to developing them, although I have recently started to learn and play with creating something custom. So far ive been playing with various Samsung models, OPPO, ZUltra. I work in software and I am pretty interested in getting some content out for this phone, so I hope I can contribute to this thread! I have begun bugging Huawei for the source and I'll let you all know their replies to my inquiries. I've read through all the posts here - looks good!! I ordered a few cases already, and both of the mentioned screen protectors, so I'll make some reviews and pics/video on how they fit and line up, etc.

Primarily I am interested in getting 4k/UHD video recording on this phone. It uses the SONY IMX278 RGBW sensor which is capable of 4k/UHD video capture, but the issue seems to be the Kirin955 which can only encode 1080p and decode UHD/1080p. I've read that it can also encode UHD but it would have to be at a lower framerate. Not sure but I plan to play with that. I've been able to modify the media_profiles.xml file on my S5 to increase bitrate in videos and remove any compression in still images, and the results were incredible, HUGE difference in details. I look forward to doing the same mods on the Note8 and I can post of the media_profiles.xml file for others to use once I have it working.

Baidu Account

Baidu's download client likes to keep stopping downloads after they take forever, so I'm going to go ahead and try to buy Baidu's premium membership which apparently "increases my bandwidth" and see if that helps any. Thankfully its only a couple USD, gotta love Yen to USD conversion...

In the meantime the only ROM that actually finished downloading is the Xposed one, the other two should hopefully be coming soon here.

Is anyone using the dual-sim function, what's the dual sim configuration ?

- when one sim on 4G (browsing or VoLTE) the other Sim drops to 2G (both sim switchable with in phone sim management)

or

- when one sim on 4G (browsing or VoLTE) the other Sim drops to 3G (both sim switchable with in phone sim management)

or

- SIM 1 always on/have 4G/3G/2G the SIM 2 always only 2G (non switchable !!)

One sim is 4G and the other is 2G. You can switch which sim slot is which.

So you mean its like no.3 as per my listing but switchable right ?

this mean at anytime 1 sim (be it sim 1 or 2) will only be 2G correct ?

or

its like no.1 in my listing whereby both are switchable and dual standby (duh ... dual active phone are rare) on 4G but once any

1 of the sim is utilizing 4G the other auto drops to 2G ?

sorry i ask because i found your reply a little vague ... appreciate if you do not spare the detail and go deeper because as i have mentioned this phone is sleek and a beast but my country will be terminating 2G soon so no use i get dual sim phone with 1 slot not working.

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] clownmodes:
You choose which sim is 4G and the other will become 2G. They will stay this way until you go into the settings and change them again.

So, yes one sim will utilize 4G and even when it's not using 4G the other sim will still only get 2G. I'm pretty sure this is standard with most current dual sim phones.

[Huawei Honor Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jdantow:
Yeah! I saw that too. However that was simply software limitation. The Snapdragon 801 in the Z2 support UHD encoding at the hardware level. From what I can gather its more of an issue with the Note 8 because the Kirin 955 SoC doesn't support UHD video encoding (writing a video file), just DECODING (watching a video).

Therefore, 4k video encoding would need to be done at a software level, as opposed to a hardware level, which is much slower I can gather. The other idea I am having is to possibly use the GPU MaliT880 to encode 4k video from the camera because from what I can gather (again, I am absolutely no professional or developer... yet!) this GPU support UHD video encoding and is much more efficient at this kind of 2D graphic processing.

Anyways, I should have my hands on the phone tonight or tomorrow, then I will begin rooting it, playing with the media_profiles.xml to see what I can optimize at the software level, then lets see what we can do about this phone!

The phone is not dual stand by... on dual stand by mode when you talk with sim one(or sim two) and someone is calling you in sim two (or sim one) he will hear that phone you are calling is offline and not available.. but on Note 8 you can see the call and you can switch calls and answer every call.
