Only semi valid point is one, it's a freaking $ 150 dollars phone, so come on...

2. It's your fault for not learning to use settings properly, none of these problems are problems per se. Just you not getting used to your phone.

3. There are like 2apps that put ads on the system apps, and totally removable, even from the settings

4. Really? You just posted the solution to that problem.

lmao so instead of embracing the value Xiaomi devices and understand compromises you move over to an officially dead phone OS?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] stole38:
Redmi Note 5 is my first Xiaomi phone, and i can say that my next phone will 100% be Xiaomi again, why ? Because i had a Sony phone which i dropped from half a meter and the whole screen came out, couldn't be rooted and nobody bothered to make good roms for it. My note 5 has been dropped 3-4 times on hard cement, just the plastic part got scuffed. I haven't seen an AD during my use with stock MIUI , haven't had any freezes and i could give a rats booty about the theme app.

A good build of LineageOS would be great. What do you recommend?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] DarthJabba9:
At the moment, Liquid Remix or crDroid. When Validus settles down on Vince, and SlimROM moves to Oreo, then my eventual preferences would be (1) SlimROM, (2) Validus.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] fede01_8:
Nothing serious then? OP is just *****ing
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] DarthJabba9:
Vince is perfectly okay for the price. The problems he is experiencing are mainly with miui. Yes, the components are cheap - but you get what you paid for. For me, it is a brilliant phone. And so is mido. You just need to adjust your expectations. There is no point in having a champagne taste on a coca cola budget.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] Talwinder8872:
thats what i do, always:D

before buying a phone instead checking its review i just come on xda and see how good is development. and thats enough for me to make a decision. :D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] DarthJabba9:
Yes, that is the way to do it.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] x3m.zone:
Redmi Note 3SD, Redmi Note 4X, and now Redmi 5 Plus. Just awesome devices for the price! No problem whatsoever!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] Mordar:
I think one of the main reasons I bought a xiaomi phone was to get a very decently specced phone at budget prices, unlock the bootloader of a xiaomi phone > install a custom rom > get a phone that's miles better than the competition at the same price range

Also this, I also check if the phone has a snapdragon processor which increases the chances of getting more development done in the form of custom roms.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] DarthJabba9:
Yep. You don't want to go with the "other" SoC that Xiaomi often uses. I had about 5 different Xiaomi phones with that SoC, and their custom ROM support sucks big time (mainly due to lack of kernel sources).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] AndroGeek911:
Ads on system apps? I dont think so. Check carefully it might be some other app. and switching back to windows phone? For real!!!

Well. I'm looking forward to getting Nokia 7 Plus
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] upilngapung:
For me, personally, although I believe it won't matter to other users here is the feeling of regret after buying the redmi 5 plus.

The regret i now feel nowadays is that xiaomi keeps releasing phones with the exact same specs and visual cues as our beloved phone here.

The Y2, Redmi 5 Pro, the Global Note 5, etc. All of them are basically almost the same, the front side is completely the same and it's kinda irritating for me. The back side however, adds dual camera and unibody metal design which is a plus point for me, and they released them with identical prices which is the biggest regret for ever buying this phone.

What worries me more is the system update they will be rolling in the future, a lot of phones in the same price segment means a lot to be worked on, risking the stagnant development in somewhat older phones (2-3 months older than the same phone in the segment which is ours).

The gap between the Redmi 4X and the 5/5 Plus family is almost a year (cmiiw) while in this first 2 quartals of 2018 there are already a dozen of same segement phones announced.

There are nothing wrong with this phone, i really liked it, my first xiaomi (and cheap chinese phone) ever. The price to performance ratio is beyond awesome.

It's only that there are a lot of phones in the same quality from the same manufacturer that worries me the worst, and making me regret not waiting till late July to sell my Xperia Z4 which is still working perfectly, to switch over to Xiaomi. (And saving up to buy the Mi8 ofc :') )
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] h0ttentot:
My only complain is about myself really. I should check which model has official LineageOS support before buying a phone. These crappy custom roms are the worst.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] upilngapung:
For me personally, using a case is to hide the hideous back of the phone lmao. I used it on my M4 Aqua bcs altho it's good, it's plastic and the glass-likeness would be destroyed if i don't protect it. I don't use it on my Z4 as i never dropped my phone from height more than 1 m, and damn flagship Xperia phones never ceases to amaze me (by term of physical design ofc). I use one for Redmi 5 Plus bcs the metal combined with plastic parts doesn't look good, and has no grip (keeps slipping off to my face).

Regarding to the brand, i think I'd buy another xiaomi, they keep getting better and better overtime imho.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] :
I actually have global 9.5 and noticed a tiny ad on the downloads app.

I just got the phone today so u was surprised
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] :
You shouldn't disregard an entire manufacturer because of your inability to research before buying a new phone. What do two year old devices like the Mi5 and the Redmi Note 3 have to do with anything? You also have the choice of not buying those, as they are nowhere near as worth it in 2018. It can be argued Xiaomi only became well-known as a manufacturer of unparalleled price/performance devices with the release of the Redmi Note 5. All of your other issues can be solved by using a custom ROM and it is more baffling you are even making these points while posting on XDA. Research next time.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] Mordar:
This right here, the custom roms are not crappy though, been using Pixel Experience and Havoc with no issues whatsoever, but support is either poor or non existant which makes it hard to actually get newer updates on this redmi 5 plus while at the same time the Redmi Note 5 (pro) has a Pixel experience roms already....
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] jerbau:
Removing ads is not as difficult if you just be more diligent to do some research.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] bot88:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] lawong:
im a loyal xiaomi phones too , been using lots of xiaomi variant : mi3(few pcs),mi4,redmi note 1 ,redmi note 2 (few pcs),redmi note 3(mtk and sd)(few pcs) ,mi a1 (few pcs) , redmi note 4x(few pcs), redmi note 5 ai , redmi 5 plus ,mi max (few pcs) .

but yah 5 plus gonna be my last (primary) xiaomi phone because some downgrade that had made to their phones quality, the worst is removing rgb led notification and replacing it with dim white only led notification( the last mi phone with more brighter led notification was mi a1 ), it was my priority when choosing a phone.

the only reason for me to choose xiaomi now is their affordable device and of course for lots custom rom to choose with .
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] AmulyaX:
Sir, you are literally mentioning problems related to MIUI while in a community development forum, I mean why are we are? Because we don't want to stay on OEM supplied bloatware, that's the base of custom roms!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] akiroJo:
Spot On, those issues mentiined by OP is negligible to the fact that, customs roms offers a variety of taste whichever we like best. Besides, those issues are patchable via updates nothing much hardware related failures or errors and the likes whatsoever.

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] pix106:
It's visible in Firmware Finder app, for Lx9-C10 variant.

As I have a L09-C432, I can't say if it is approved for installation.

We can see it's on his way, let's just be patient :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] NyoSan:
I'm the author of the tweet. I got the info on XDA (https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76985447&postcount=532) and if you want, you can check too on Firmware Finder for it.

This is for Russian one for info.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThePS4Gamer:
It's the Russian model, ma boi. But probably the EU update drops in a few days.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] WYPIERDAALAAC:
What's different between Russian version and EU? Its a problem to flash it on c432 model?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThePS4Gamer:
You can't download it with the normal way. You need to use the RedLotus way to flash this Russian ROM, because the Huawei phones are region locked by default. But if you unlock the bootloader, install the modified stock recovery with all of the identification removed to install any EMUI ROMs as you please and use the RedLotus method, you can use this ROM on your EU Honor 8.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jhayzt:
Doesn't that affect anything in the phone? I'm using a L09C432 EMUI fw atm. Isn't C432 different from C10?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ScardracS:
I think it isn't simple as you said. I think you could break something flashing these thing without rebrand from L09C432 to L09C10
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jhayzt:
Problem is we don't have C10 files for rebranding. Oh well, better wait, again. :crying:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jithendrav83:
Actually, we do have the resources necessary for rebranding to C10

Stock firmware files:

FRD-L09C10B130 - http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1276/g104/v64086/f1/full/update.zip

Use MultiTool 7.1 to create the rebrand zip and flash it from TWRP

Rebranded my single-sim Indian variant to L09C10 yesterday and updated to Oreo. Everything works well. Seems a lot like a work-in-progress build. I am sure things will get better with the upcoming builds
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jhayzt:

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jithendrav83:

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jithendrav83:
Build is pretty stable. No slowdowns or force closes yet. Still testing it. Haven't run the benchmark tests yet. Battery life seems to have improved a bit. I am getting good SOT figures
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] WYPIERDAALAAC:
Honor 8 Oreo included Huawei Histen (equalizer from new EMUI phones)? Or no differences on audio?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jithendrav83:
I'm not sure what they call it, but it does have the "Headset DTS mode" option which definitely improves the audio quality. However, no equalizer in the Settings or Music app though
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jithendrav83:
I'm afraid it doesn't work like that. To begin with, if you are not on C10 model, you need to rebrand your device first, update to Nougat, unlock bootloader, root and then update to Oreo using ADB method or RedLotus method. All the necessary guides and resources are available in the forum
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] csakesz55:

Is there even an ecxiting reason to rebrand and update to Oreo? Like, some special features? Until now I only heard about the Navigation Dock (useless to me) and AR lenses (again, useless because there are way better apps out there already).

My phone is running smoothly at the moment, can I even expect a performance boost?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sharath007:
TREBLE support. If you need continued custom ROM support then better upgrade to Oreo
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
Treble is the only reason. I've flashed OpenKirin team's LOS and it works awesome.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Alegría1010:
what about SOT and bugs ? thanks in advance
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] immichao:
hey, how do I know if a treble rom is compatible with the honor 8?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BriceFW:
Camera works in LOS ? If it does then I will upgrade ?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] agraceful:
Why wouldn't it? This is treble, not a full custom ROM persay. It should actually still be the Huawei camera and not that garbage they bundle with their ROM. If it isn't the original app, it won't be able to use both cameras which will make photos subpar.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] udamster:
Few users said camera didn't work in the treble ROMS for P9 & Honor 8 if I recall correctly. But that was RR OS,I think
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hackslash:
It works now on all. Actually, everything is now working and trust me it is way better than stock EMUI.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] udamster:
One more question. How is battery life?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] boris dmello:
Thanks for the update, was just waiting for the camera to be fixed,

So I should do the following steps to do that right?

-directly Rebrand to L09 oreo using modified recovery(or should I Rebrand to L09 Android 7.0 first?)

-unlock bootloader

-follow the steps on openkirin website

This page cites Oreo availability for 7 Huawei smartphone models, Honor 8 included.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] boris dmello:
Installed RR 8.1.0 on my L02, I was supposed to flash 7.0 first but mistakenly flashed 8.0 and it updated perfectly, got the EMUI 8.0 working, then flashed RR, as always RR roms are the best in my opinion, the RR build is beta1 so I did expect few bugs,

Here are some.....

Bluetooth and NFC isn't working

Camera not working (stock EMUI camera app included in rom)

Fingerprint gestures not working (option available in settings)

Torch(flashlight) inst working

Yes this might not seem to be ideal for daily use but it's just the first beta build, so keeping that in mind it's way better than my expectations, haven't tried LOS yet.

Very much appreciate the hard work of the developers, thank you.

Edit:LOS public build also has the same issues

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Is the camera quality better or worse than stock EMUI? Or is it equal since it has the same camera app and does all the camera settings work like they should? Because the camera is basically the most important thing in a phone for me.
