The custom one is for a 100% CyanogenMod compatibility once flashed, use any TWRP (working*for the Mate*8) to flash this ROM*;)

Hi guys, I noticed that there's a beta version of Cyanogen for the Huawei P9. Is there any way to use that as a base for the Mate 8 version?
[Mate 8 Android Development] albertwesquer:
WOW! Proggres is being made so fast, probably if skypol0 keeps this pace half year from now we will have a stable release of Cm13 on Mate 8! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
[Mate 8 Android Development] mariusstoica:
Can anyone test dual sim ? Thanks
[Mate 8 Android Development] sibiyav1486:
Yeah tested, both sims work, but network is not stable, it connects and disconnects erratically.
[Mate 8 Android Development] _skypol0:
I don't have any issue with a single one, please open an issue on the project's repository with the asked infos (see the "I've found an issue" of this thread) so I can focus on your problem shortly :)

(this message is not just for yourself)
[Mate 8 Android Development] _skypol0:
Can someone confirm the Sleep of Death issue ? Someone reported that everything was fine on his device (L-29) - I'm maybe investigating for nothing since two days ^^'
[Mate 8 Android Development] sibiyav1486:
I tested on mine, it definitely doesn't wake up after deep sleep (about 5 minutes after screen is off). You have to reboot otherwise nothing happens, screen stays off. I am on NXT-L29

---------- Post added at 08:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 AM ----------

I think you already adressed this issue under "known issues" when u said "network status not properly displayed " my bad, sorry.
[Mate 8 Android Development] _skypol0:
That's "good" to know :) This can be a bunch of things, I'm testing.

I know what is causing this bug and since this is just a display issue, this is low priority :) However, for your problem, your logcat/dmesg will greatly help (as you may already know!)

--

Fixing the issue before the end of the week will result in a beta release (else, a third alpha).

The upcoming ones will be uploaded to my OTA's server so you can download them directly with the CM Updater without having to flash them every time with TWRP. However, I will still post a download link here.

Changelogs for each of them will also be detailed in the second post of this thread so you can choose to download the update or to wait for the next one (for those using the CM updater, changelogs will be embedded directly inside)

This will be weekly releases with more or less changes each time :fingers-crossed:

(weekly and if there is new content, so no more need to ask me for an ETA :cool:)

Keep you informed.
[Mate 8 Android Development] mariusstoica:
You are the best, man!
[Mate 8 Android Development] craigzhong:
same here ... doest wake up after screen off ...

already back to emui5.0

Merry Christmas to you and your family

Enjoy this little moment of joy :cool:​

I'm not working on the build this week-end eh eh eh :D

I fixed the offline charge but I've noticed a bug on the SD Card implementation that can corrupt every card you insert into (after that, the card is not hard bricked but you still have to format it so this is quite uncool). The release date is (yeeess not ETA but here I'm sure) monday night ! SDCard features will be included or not if Santa wants it. (else, OTA update in the upcoming days, thanks to the brand new server).

The SoD annoying issue is still here, I keep investigating, this can be a lot of things :confused:

Keep you informed !

(PSA : did you look at https://www.xda-developers.com/the-death-of-cyangenmod-and-whats-in-store-for-the-future/ ? The ROM might be never official or at least for a bit of time. I'll do my best to be as must transparent as possible concerning the Mate 8's current and future builds :fingers-crossed: , concrete things will take place very soon)

EDIT : SDCard definitively fixed :good:

hi guys

i do all recommended do list to install CM13 on my NXT-L29

everything is ok . but when CM boot , Says : To start Android, enter your password

and i try any pass i remembered and CM says: Wrong Password !!

what should i do ?

tnx
[Mate 8 Android Development] hamadazh:
read OP in Post-installation issues section
[Mate 8 Android Development] pooya2ir:
OK , problem was DATA ! and it solved and CM 13 Booted up

But not a good idea for daily using ... too meany bugs

Rolling back to Nougat and hope to release no bug of CM on Mate8

Thank you all.
[Mate 8 Android Development] _skypol0:
** Alpha 3 released **

Sorry, had to test the OTA update part in real situation, this is all good (even if changelog preview is ugly for now, but who cares).

Remember : if CM becomes your main ROM (which is not recommended for now (remember, alpha version) ), you won't have to manually retrieve and flash the next updates any more thanks to the OTA updater (tip: set "daily" update check).

Edit : The Sleep of Death bug has been finally found in the same time :victory: Fix incoming.
[Mate 8 Android Development] android09:
To make CM (or now Lineage OS) my daily ROM on the Mate 8 I'd just need a working camera. I really don't care about the small bugs the rom has (including the Deep Sleep issue which can be fixed pretty easlily through those 2 apps) but the fact that I can't take pictures or videos (what includes Snapchat :D) lets me still switch back to EMUI at the moment.
[Mate 8 Android Development] _skypol0:
** Alpha 3.1 released **

This is an intermediary update available on OTA

The changelog is available in the second (reserved) post of this thread. Enjoy !

(big releases will still be uploaded here)
[Mate 8 Android Development] albertwesquer:

Edit 2: Oh and I'll re-compile the build with the brand new Lineage repository tonight ;)

Edit 3: Aaand it's here : the new flavored Lineage ROM with the latest changes from the core (a few visual changes but a lot to come !)

where can i donate or something....

and... im not being mean asking about progress .. just really hoping this thing works.

so... forgive me for being rude ... didnt mean that
[Mate 8 Android Development] :
This might sound silly but i am using Huawei Mate 8 (NXT-L29C636B211) and currently on EMUI 4.0. I wonder if this rom will work with my current model.

There's no OTA update for 4.1 and i tried to search the forum but there's no guide or stock image for 4.1. If anyone done this, can guide me on updating to version 4.1? It seems that i need 4.1 in order to flash this rom.

Thanks :)
[Mate 8 Android Development] _skypol0:
This is fine ;)

You can try to flash the ROM on your current version and provide us some feedback ;)

(backup before, uh !)

Else, you have to search a bit on Google :p

[MENTION=7725735]_skypol0[/MENTION] Thanks man. Been following this development since the beginning from cyanogenmod forum and then in XDA and finally, in github. So glad that you started the build when there's no one willing to. Subscribed to your github btw :good:
[Mate 8 Android Development] BrownyDroid:
Following closely, every day you'll find be visiting this page!

Once its stable enough i'll be running it for sure! I miss having CM on my Note 4 I had before the Mate 8, and I dont want to sell and buy an Oppo phone or something :(

Thankyou for giving me enough belief to stay with the Mate 8 <3
[Mate 8 Android Development] _skypol0:
The last alpha release is planned for this weekend ;)
[Mate 8 Android Development] :
Hi [MENTION=7725735]_skypol0[/MENTION], thanks for your awesome work. I managed to flash your ROM. Everything works as expected. LCD brightness is still not fully working yet, right?

This is what I am experiencing, I am able to increase and decrease the brightness but the amount is very low. I pull the slider all the way to the max and it increases like so little and which if u try it in normal time, you won't notice the brightness increased. Is this is a known issue, then okay. Just reporting tho. Keep up the good work man!

Thanks again!! :good:
[Mate 8 Android Development] _skypol0:
I saw that yesterday when I flashed this version for some tests ^^ A vendor file wasn't included.

Definitely fixed in the next release, with fading transition ;)

(and thanks for the feedback !)

[Mate 8 Android Development] SanHelios:
I have a question...

When EMUI 5 is released, and i flash it on my mate 8, will i still be able to flash cm13 "over" it?
[Mate 8 Android Development] _skypol0:
Since this ROM have it's own kernel packaged inside its boot img, you'll just have to flash it. Unlike any apple device :laugh:

(and... EMUI 5.0 is already released for the Mate 8 eh :p )
[Mate 8 Android Development] _skypol0:
** Alpha 4 is here **

The next build will concern camera and fingerprint fixes, mainly.

Edit : OTA available since the 01/10/2017.
[Mate 8 Android Development] bidi1234:
Please can anyone tell me how to flash this from from stock EMU 5.0. thanks.
[Mate 8 Android Development] :
As OP mentioned, you can try to flash the rom (Alpha 4) and it should work. Make sure you backup your current rom just in case you need to restore back. TWRP also included in the 1st post by OP if you don't have one installed.

Refer to F.A.Q. in the 1st post for some common problems and solutions.
[Mate 8 Android Development] Kingzak34:
Be careful if you flash emui4.1 twrp when on emui5 it won't boot recovery.

You should try to use twrp for emui5 for flashing the rom. If it doesn't work then tell us, it will mean that we need to go to emui4.1 before doing anything.

[Mate 8 Android Development] :
Opsss, most probably it won't but i am not sure because i tried to flash recovery for TWRP 4.1 on EMUI 4.0 and it didn't boot. I used TWRP for 4.0. You will be stuck on the booting screen and nothing will happen. Need fastboot to flash the 4.0 TWRP. :good::good:
[Mate 8 Android Development] Kingzak34:
Yes, same for emui4.0 of course.

[Mate 8 Android Development] :
Flashing it, flashed just now but totally forget GApps, reflashing now.
[Mate 8 Android Development] _skypol0:
The next build will include preinstalled Open GApps apk (and SuperSU btw) to avoid that :)

(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.opengapps.app <- this one )
[Mate 8 Android Development] :
Tested (Alpha 4). Brightness slider works fine. Smooth and function. Sensors working as well. So far, no SOD. Good job!!!!!!
[Mate 8 Android Development] :
Cool, for now, i manually flashing GApps and SuperSU. Testing root now, installed the binaries, root working. Cool. Performance need to be tweaked a bit i think, but that can be done last. So far, as of alpha 4, this is great. Planning to use this as my daily driver. I can leave without camera for now, at least. Hahaha...:good::good::good:

Thanks for such a great rom mate. Really appreciates you work!

Now everything is ok.....
[Mate 8 Android Development] android09:
[MENTION=7725735]_skypol0[/MENTION] Why would you preinstall SuperSU? You can activate it in the Dev Options if you need it and if you want to use apps that don't allow root, you just turn it off.
[Mate 8 Android Development] _skypol0:
Yep yep yep I know, this apk won't be pre installed.

Hey Guys, got the ROM going, running with the cyanogenmod recovery.

Would like to install the TRWP recovery but not sure how to flash the "TWRP-Cyanogen-NEXT.zip" from the cyanogenmod recovery, anybody have some pointers ?

Thanks...

Edit: Figured it out, Incase another n00b wonders, ADB did the trick, http://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums/topic/install-twrp-recovery-android-using-fastboot/

Another question though, is there a Xposed version we can use with this rom ?

Thanks

Official MM xposed works as it should like described in first post

And BTW you used fastboot to flash recovery not ADB. It's 2 different things.

Tested Alpha 4, and noticed an issue. When receiving a call or making a call, the phone reboots. I can post on github, just checking that this wasn't on my end. I flashed back to 4.1 and retried and had the same issue. I can post a logcat tonight, if needed.

[Mate 8 Android Development] :
Been using it for almost 4 days now and other than those known issues, everything works fine. Even xposed official works fine as OP mentioned.
[Mate 8 Android Development] _skypol0:
If not already tried, do a full wipe before flashing the alpha, I often got issues because of that.

Else, open an issue with the essential details and with your logcat (logcat -b radio) and if possible the dmesg too, thanks in advance
