Whenever it makes sense to compare the system partition to the recovery partition just reply to this message and kindly explain it to me with facts ?.

it is fact that the twrp from OP won't boot and i think it is because of the beta.

Slightly off topic but applicable to Honor 8

https://krebsonsecurity.com/2016/11/chinese-iot-firm-siphoned-text-messages-call-records/

Since this ROM may impact this security issue, I am posting here, very sorry if there is a more appropriate forum but I figured this group would be most interested. I have only rooted and installed TWRP on my Honor 8 at this point. I am very interested in this CM13 ROM, especially if it will prevent Chinese spying. What are your thoughts on this:

Do you think this ROM will eradicate the Chinese spying at the firmware level or do you think the Chinese wrote in the code at the hardware level.

Thanks for the ROM, outstanding work.

That's all I've been able to find so far (other than what's in OP). Very happy with this release!

You got a good point....
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] mrc77:
Offtopic, but I did read here that CM will never be doing pure CM for Honor8, why is that?

Thanks!

/C
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] hackslash:
You can assume that the devs are doing some kind of sorcery to implement stuff. For official CM support most of the proprietary SoC code must be open source. Take SELinux for example. Since rewriting SELinux is not an easy job and is hardware dependent, hence SELinux is disabled or set to permissive (not enforced mode) since we can't use the one from EMUI. Secondly, many proprietary libraries are used from EMUI which includes useless EMUI code not necessary/needed for CM (and may even cause serious conflicts with CM ; the reason why [MENTION=7354786]XePeleato[/MENTION] wrote his own HwC module).

In short, you need official support, rewrite open source equivalent to proprietary implementations, profit and that is not easy and won't probably happen (or could if the devs stop doing all everything and concentrate on this project day and night).

CM for the Mate 8 request.

Hi guys! First of all sorry to be off topic but I have to give it a shot, I have a Huawei mate 8 and theres a big group of mate 8 owners that would love to have some CM in our devices, since it has literally the same SOC, is there any chance that you guys could port CM to the mate 8?

Obvoulsy ill be more than glad to make donation and I am confident that other mate 8 owner will do too, thanks!
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] XePeleato:
Well, if the devices are so similar, someone with experience with GNU/Linux systems shouldn't find it too hard to port it.

It did, without the partnership this rom wouldn't be available.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] papsi177:
Hi, do you have some changes is surfaceflinger source related to you hwc? Btw in you hwc source must to be make changes related to vsync depence of device). You hwc is amazing) no more crash of FinalizerDaemon in last two days in tests of me on my Honor 7.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] xontec:
Oh okay didn't know that thanks for responding so Big thanks out to all you guys for contributing and pushing this Project ! I love you guys :D
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] XePeleato:
Hi, I made no changes to SurfaceFlinger. About Vsync, the only device depending codecs the ioctl that enables it, but I checked if it existed in the Honor 7 kernel before giving you the link, so there shouldn't be any problem.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] papsi177:

[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] thekubiaks:
CM13 (1120 version) starts up on FRD-L04C567B162 but then asks for the password (I suppose to decrypt the data). It prepares storage, preparing to start and then says "To start Android, enter your password" My passwords dont work and CM13 will not proceed. Now I cant get to ADB or fastboot. Any recommendations??

Thanks
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] XePeleato:
You didn't install the TWRP posted on the OP, did you?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] thekubiaks:
I did install the TWRP from the OP, it even says Honor 8 on the TWRP menu, then I used that TWRP to install CM13 (1120) and GAPPS. Everything looked normal on the install, CM13 booted up and then asked for a password. Now I am stuck.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] XePeleato:
Then have you wiped the data partition? You have to choose the option that removes encryption.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] morpheus302:
Wonderful work guys. Do you think that fingerprint scanner could work some day? What are the actual limitations to make it work?

Thank you very much.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] thekubiaks:
Thank you for the quick replies. I can get ADB to see the phone but it shows up as an unregistered device. Of course I cant register the phone because CM13 is hung up at the "Enter password.." screen. Do you know of any ADB tricks to get to fastboot so I can fastboot format data ???

Thx
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] XePeleato:
Hi, the fingerprint scanner doesn't work because of a missing file/ misconfiguration at the kernel level, so we'll fix it as soon as we can.

You don't need fastboot, just get into TWRP and format data, because I guess that you can get to TWRP, right?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] thekubiaks:
No, phone boots right into CM13, can't force it into TWRP with the volume buttons, cant get fastboot, only ADB (which sees device as unauthorized).

Problem solved.... got fastboot running, reflashed TWRP, wiped data, CM13 operational, no password hangup this time... thanks for your help!

[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] papsi177:
Well..Do you really have no changes in source related to Surfaceflinger, Libgui, libsurfaceflinger? Because i revert to source graphic and compiled all this stuff from pure cyanogenmod source...And i have lags and freeze used you hwc. But if i take libs from you rom, it is all ok)? Really no changes?? I saw some changes on git Surdu_Petru..But now this is removed from git..
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] XePeleato:
I work on the modules in order to be compatible with every rom, I don't write them with a particular rom or device, so maybe for your device you need to modify it a little bit.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] papsi177:

[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] XePeleato:
I'd love to, but I don't know what's going on. I'd wait until we finish copybit/overlay composition, since then you'll experience real improvements.

I can't seem to get back to stock...the update.app in dl folder in root directory doesn't go past 5%, I can't flash stock firmware img's using fastboot either, just get the turquoise blue honor screen. Flashing the normal Honor 8 TWRP states that my data partition won't mount, and I can't format it. HELP!
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] surdu_petru:
It seems that you don't use an appropriate update.app ... it also happened to me, when I used a wrong version of update.app .

Btw, you should keep update.app on external storage MicroSD/dload/UPDATE.APP instead dl folder. Anyway, even if update.app has flashed succesfuly, your device will not be ready to use until you'll don't go to stock recovery and perform a wipe data/factory-reset ! ( this step is required in order to encrypt /data ) .

Good luck !
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Alvichone:
You can install stock recovery via fastboot. Yestarday I was 3 hours backing to mm and finally relocking bootloader (it does a factory rest) save me from an eternal blue honor boot screen.

Prevously I have tried with srk tool, but install twrp was a mistake. Adb fastboot to install a stock recovery (extracted from B131 update.app), unrar a B120 zip (cause is full version with cust.img) in dload in my sdcard and 3 bottons to force the installation. All seemed go ok(100% install, reboot, optimazing apps 100%...) But suddenly the screen goes from lightning blue screen to dark blue screen, all the time.

Finally relock bootloader, factory reset and B120 start like always.

Sorry for the long story

PD: yes, i was trying beta emui 5. Wrong thread, my fault.

[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] usmcnyc:
Thanks for the reply. I have a L04 and the only stock ROM I see is the B122, which I've downloaded from multiple locations but still no go with the update.app. I've tried loading it from microsd, internal storage, unpacking the img's and installing via fastboot but still nothing. I'll keep trying....
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] surdu_petru:
Yes, but stock recovery is not required in order to be able to flash UPDATE.APP !

It doesn't matter what custom recovery/rom you use ( assuming not Android N ), if you have a valid update.app into sdcard/dload directory, the way to return to stock is very simple : power off your device and start kepp pressing the 3 buttons ... later you must perform a data/factory-reset from stock recovery !

Edit :

These discussions should no longer continue here, because all this are not related to topic. Thanks for understanding !

Please [MENTION=841714]usmcnyc[/MENTION], open a new thread on Honor 8 Questions & Answers, and maybe I'll help you there . Thanks !

[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] sebastien_be:
Hi,

thanks very much for this effort and for making it 100% working! This is so great some people are still capable of doing this. Thanks!

Just quick question: Can anyone confirm this works also with Honor 8 Premium model ? Normally no changes with traditional, except 64Gb instead of 32Gb.

Thanks,

Sebastien.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] hackslash:
No one can confirm it instead of you. Take the first step and flash it. It 'should' work. Even if the partition sizes might be different, the installation of the ROM itself will fail if that is the case.

---------- Post added at 04:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 PM ----------

Firstly, are you trying to flash it over the Chinese variant? If that is the case. Stop. The Chinese variant is different from the International variant.

If that is not the case, can you please upload the TWRP recovery log for more insight depth on your issue?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] qq0313:
thanks,you are right,it's Chinese variant......What a pity！！！

And my honor 8 is EMUI5.0,but Ican't roll back!! I had intended to change the situation by flash CM13!!!!

Anyone else experiencing poor battery life with this ROM? Looks like I'm only getting about 5-6 hours mostly on standby, on balance profile. "CyanogenMod System" is using about 24%.

just flashed, aside from no fps or lte the rom is damn nice.

How's your battery so far?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] fix-this!:
about the same as stock soo far. im gonna use as my daily this week. as i said no fingerprint but ambient display works.

themes and xposed works.

calls and sms work.

lte and wifi work.

location works.

havent tested bluetooth.

camera works for the most part.

dt2w doesnt.

no nfc.

very fast and fluid, much more than stock.

if you flash anything with twrp to system, delete an apk from system or even use xposed and activate a module the bootanimation gets slow and laggy. then a 2nd reboot fixes it.

root and superSU also works.

looking forward to another build soon id hope
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] X04D:
Yeah I've got it installed as well and love the performance, but it ate half my battery overnight while on standby, so it's going to be rough as a daily.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] fix-this!:
you have a wake lock. ive been using mine since 6am and dont have high drainage.

So I tried to flash the new ROM 1129 over 1120 using the Honor 8 TWRP. The only way to successfully install 1129 is to wipe the data partition. Otherwise, after 1129 completes installation, it asks for the android password which is a mystery.

So, everytime I want to install a new version, I have to wipe the data partition and reinstall all of my apps and restore via Titanium (or something like that)??

Is there a way to just update without wiping everything??
