[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] zinko_pt:
Just using RRos2. I assume all are updated and snappy.

Two things:

Unlock screen is very laggy. Can hear the fingerprint unlock sound but screen take a lot of time to turn on. Same thing with just power button. Probably that's why some say fingerprint scanner is slow. It's the screen.

No NFC icon in quick settings, although I've selected it to be there from all quick settings available. There's just an empty space where there should be NFC letters.

Don't feel like flash OmniRom and setup all over again

IEDIT: Fixed screen wake up lag by disabling some tweaks like expanded screen (hide status bar). Just need to get NFC working for Google Pay.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] csakesz55:
As the Devs say on the support chat, NFC will only work on Omni and Carbon currently. (Personally on Omni, if I have it enabled, my device doesn't go into deep sleep, so I have it disabled.)
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] zinko_pt:
Thank you again.

I usually only turn NFC on when I need it, so I'm guessing you just have it on the whole time. So if it works when I turn it on, it'll be fine for me.

I just cannot flash the phone straight away... need to refill patiente reservoir... :)
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] antoinmx:
And about Lineage OS ? Someone tested it ?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] agraceful:
Tons of people have. I believe [MENTION=4960686]OldDroid[/MENTION] personally builds that one. In the telegram group they claim it's near AOSP but my personal opinion of LoS is that it's not even close. It's still CyanogenMod. I'm personally on Omni and quite enjoying it. My suggestion is to try them all and see what fits you best.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] antoinmx:
Thanks

Does anyone know why FRD-L09 (Honor 8) is not in the list? There is only FRD-L04/L14/L19/AL00/AL10/TL00

Personally I have FRD-L09. Can I install it ?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Sideness:
Hello and thank you for this awesome work! :)

Does LineageOS ROM have OTA updates for newer builds?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] dimitri159:
Hello,

thanks you guys for the ROM, i installed RROS and it work really well !! I love it !

Beside that, i encounter only one problem, i can't use automatic brightness, when i put in on 100 % manualy, it doesn't change, even if i'm in totally dark room.

If i set it on 0% manualy it change, but the screen don't go to 100% brightness, if i'm in a dark room then i go outside, the screen go to 50% brightness i guess, nothing more.

Is the problem only for me ?

thanks
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] OldDroid:
OTA updates are still WIP.

Monthly security patches/base updates are guaranteed - it's a matter of security for me.

Regards,

OldDroid

how to root

hi ,

i looking for the ramdisk of FRD-L09 or some guide to root.

anyone here had tried to root it? feedback?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] davide.melkior:
i am getting a series of issues trying to install LOS beta...

target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes

this is what i get when i try to flash the system using fastboot, does anyone know how to solve it?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] enzospain:
What is the most stable ?

Lineage, RR, omni ?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] davide.melkior:
just finished installing rros and the camera is not working... don't know why someone says that it is actually working on frd-l09, but on my device it's just crashing

got a bunch of errors while installing los

i guess i'm trying omni but i think that as today they are not ok for daily use
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] jondy:
Using RR on my L09 atm. The camera prefectly working on preinstalled camera app and the EMUI camera app included also works. No idea why but did you factory reset after finished install the RR?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] cypher187:
Here you can find a partially working build of TWRP which you can flash via fastboot.

Magisk is working without problems for me.

EDIT: Use of TWRP will not be supported by OpenKirin Team - they pointed this out on their official website.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] RayOfDoom:
Hi guys I am experiencing big problems regarding camera. I tried LOS beta 5 and now RR and both of them have this problem. Camera works perfectly for me for about few hours and after for some reason it will just stop working. Huawei camera just crashes while stock camera said "can't connect to camera". Rom is beautiful but I need a working camera. If anyone has a solution I would be grateful, I can post logs and screenshots if needed no problem.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Sbodezzi:
But this recovery it's for honor 9! It works? Can you make a step by step guide for our honor) frd l09 please? After the flash of twrp/magisk you turn back to erecovery?

Inviato dal mio FRD-L09 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] cypher187:
Yes, it's working. Same procedure as described in Honor 9 forum.

I didn't turn to stock recovery, yet. But since custom recovery is not supported by OpenKirin devs, I would turn back to stock recovery in case of a ROM update.

For that case it is possible to extract original recovery_ramdisk from stock firmware package with HuaweiUpdateExtractor, which I found on XDA (don't have exact link right now, I am mobile at this time)

I can write a How-To later when I am at home, wouldn't be a problem. But everything important is already written down in that post I linked above.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] mizaj:
which is the best openkirin rom i can use as daily driver without camera bug
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] sm00th4f3:
Oreo ones like resurrection remix and Omni are working fine for me.

Camera is also working without any problems.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] ScardracS:
Pie work amazing for daily driver... I have it since alpha 3 was released. The only problem is the battery drain when screen is ON
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] agraceful:
I'm going to forward this onto the team so we can see if it's an issue with OK or Google and I'll post back hopefully soonish. Glad you got it resolved!
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] zinko_pt:
And LED notification not working?

And no localization settings (GPS - Network - Off)?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] mizaj:
wat abt camera?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] ScardracS:
Localization setting works flawlessly for me. NFC works with NFC4PRA. Camera works as expected. Only thing is LED notification not working.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] zinko_pt:
Never managed to find how to turn off the GPS :p

I also felt like RRos B3 Oreo was more battery friendly than Omni A3 Pie. But I´m sure it will get better in the next releases. :fingers-crossed:
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] pix106:
Omnirom pie alpha 4 is out
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] :
Is it normal to have worse battery life in omni apha 4 than stock :confused:
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] agraceful:
Being that it just released not even 24hrs ago, you can't realistically gauge the battery life properly. Not to mention, it's all based on how you use the image. Emui has a major issue constantly closing apps so you have to take that into account as well. I personally have much better battery life than I ever did on emui
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] katobo45:
Feature with Led colour when fast charging is working? Or even FC is working? My seems a little broken, not another led colour also i don`t have "fast charging" just "charging". Also enabled FC in options.

Also is there way I could turn off option when i double press Power button and got camera?

Using Pie Alpha 4

Rom feels smooth and nice. I will use it mostly for music and Twitch app. We will see how it works :)
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] :
What do you mean with how to usw the image ?

I downloaded it unzip it and copy it to ABD. Then flash it with fastboot command flash system name.img
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] zinko_pt:
I see nothing about it in the changelog, so I assume the LED notification isn't working yet...

Any suggestion to increase the earpiece volume in RRos or Omni? Is there any particularly way that is recommended or any of the available Magisk modules is suitable?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] katobo45:
Ok, but led when i`m charging is working :D Also notifiaction led isn`t working, not a problem for me. Just want to have this nice feature about other led colour when fast charge :) there is list of magisk modules

suitable for OmniRom Pie?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] frenchtouch92:
Il would like to go from RROS (Oreo) to Omnirom PIE, do I have to first go back to stock emui or can I flash omni over RROS ? Thanks in advance :)
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] ScardracS:
You have to factory reset (to be sure) and flash it via bootloader (fastboot flash system "name".img)
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] ScardracS:

Hello there :)

What are the known issues for Omnirom pie alpha 4? I didn't find this information on the website.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] ScardracS:
Yes
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] ScardracS:
1) Notification LED doesn't work (only work for recharge)

2) Battery on screen on is a bit terrible (when in doze mode it save lots of battery)

3) 5GHz hotspot doesn't work
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Sideness:
Thank you!

Battery on screen might be a problem... I think I'll try it out anyway.

Does this ROM allows reverse charging? I need it disabled, that's why I looking for a custom ROM.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] ScardracS:
As I can see it could be enabled but I don't know if it works
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Sideness:
I hope not :P Thanks.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] zinko_pt:
A big thanks to the devs for the Alpha 5 (Pie) release.

Although LED isn't working and battery isn't optimized, it's great to see steps towards a stable release! Waiting it to be as stable as RRos B3 (Oreo).
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Sideness:
Hello. I just tried out Omni Pie Alpha V5. Great ROM, stable and pretty smooth.

The problem is sound over USB-C doesn't work. There's an option in developer settings to disable it but even if it's enabled, the feature is broken.

Thanks for your work on the ROM. I'll try Resurection Remix OS Beta 3 to see if it's better ;)

EDIT: Audio over USB-C works on RROS but my problem isn't solved -> my phone is charging my USB device and I can't disable it... Going back to stock.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] katobo45:
If I update from Pie alpha 4 to Pie alpha 5 I need to do factory reset? Or just update it?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] cypher187:
Usually there is no wipe needed - just update it.

Hello,

i've repaired two Honor 8 i got for own use, and both are on OMNI 5.2 so far. One of those phones has a broken WIFI BT chip, and i would like to get it on another way into the web instead of my mobile card. Is there a possibillity to get an WIFI stick running? As a suggestion, this broken WIFI seems to happen more often, maybe implementing a funktion into this build :) ?

Is there something like web over USB, reverse tethering maybe?

Thanks and Regards
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] droidbot1337:
im on omni b5 and occasionally when i try to move or delete files my sd card gets unmounted. also, i try to replace the stock ui sounds with my own but they keep coming back. is there a backup somewhere? also, any chance of supporting AOSP Extended??
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] katobo45:
Yep, got some problem about it too. When I try to move img file ( pie alpha 5.2) phone just disconnect from pc. Maybe it problem about installing it by TWRP? I used some sort of changed TWRP. Maybe it`s a problem?

Also when copying music, everything is fine. EDIT: Just noticed that: if i copy more music files it gives windows error sound but everything is fine.

And noticed some bug (maybe just issue with my phone). When i`m in app like Twitch or Youtube, or stock browser, that doesn`t matter, I got message and if I reply it from this notification it just close app i am using now and go to launcher or sms app. Also when it happens it double notification but not message. It can be a bit annoying if you have smartwatch or something like this :laugh:
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Moribus:
Can someone tell me how openkirin is better than stock rom? They use emui 8 and claim it is aosp??

No normal desc in openkirin website.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] pix106:
Their roms are not based on emui 8, they can only work on devices which have had official emui 8 (treble support).

For the rest I agree, they say "aosp", all the rom sources are based on aosp (Omni, lineage, rr), but none of them is actual aosp (using only google's aosp source).
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Moribus:
So, in short, what advantages do I get by flashin this rom? Or its like rr, just bunch useless features and lower camera quality?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] pix106:
Get rid of emui, newer Android, camera is stock camera.

Concerning the features of one rom or another, that's your choice, you don't seem to care about customizing :)
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Moribus:
So camera uses both lenses, not only one? I hear many custom roms do not support drivers or something, so quality worsens, even if you use original camera app.

I hate emui, huawei bloatware especialy after 8.0 update.

If someone can actually can confirm that camera quality is same or even better, i will flash it immediately.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] ScardracS:
The only problem I've found with camera is the more time it takes to focus
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] zinko_pt:
I would say camera is roughly the same. Even modes are the same, you won´t miss anything.

You just have to check if you can life with the bugs. Development is not exactly fast (devs can only do as much as they can and life is not just development), so you have to be patient. Omni B3 is quite stable and bug-free, but not updated with the latest security patch. Pie Alpha Roms are updated but with bugs.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Moribus:
So there is no point for me to change anything, all I wanted is to try PIE, cant live with random lag or reboots.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] zinko_pt:
I think the Pie release is smooth and couldn't see any random reboots. I had the impression battery is not great, worst that Oreo. Also there is no notification LED.

I know there was a few other things but not a big deal.

For me what prevents me to make it my DD is battery, notification LED and the customization of RRos that I prefer way more than Omni's.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Moribus:
Could you point me out to most stable RR release?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] zinko_pt:
It has to be the RRos Beta3. It's September security patch, but stable. You can add Chihayafuru Kernel and some tweaks to squeeze some more minutes of battery, but I've found the RRos good enough.

[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] skyrush7:
Omni Pie was really laggy for me on Honor 8, I tried all of the alphas. The way animations lagged were so bad to my eyes. Battery life was good though.

I used it for 1 month, loved the stock Pie, but OmniROM is sadly too basic for me (and that lag problem..).
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] :
Lol. Don't lag on alpha 5.2 . Maybe try a clean flash.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] katobo45:
Can someone provide me patched ramdisk.img file? I cant find this file... Also found some old files on XDA but Magisk don`t support it now.

My phone is FRD-L09

Last ramdisk.img file which i manage to find is dated 2018.10.09 but when i try to install it nothing changes. Also i`m following instruction on openkirin site without erros. When i open magisk manager i just see Magisk not installed.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] ScardracS:
Patch It via magisk manager
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] katobo45:
Still nothing. I tried it, also found on forum stock ramdisk and tryied it. Nothing. Magisk Manager shows no error or anything...

Hi!

I'm using the FRD-L09 C185 model (Middle East) and I haven't seen a single update for my build for over 4 months. I'm running EMUI 5.0.1 and I want to know if I could flash the OmniRom Pie via adb. I do realize that on the OpenKirin website, it says that the roms should be flashed only on EMUI 8.0 and above. But I wish to know if I could do so and not brick my phone in the process.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Micdu70:
You will brick your phone...

I suggest you to rebrand your L09 model to C432 (Europe). There is an Oreo update available for this region.

;)
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] ScardracS:
You must upgrade to Oreo before or sure thing you'll brick your device
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] avi737:
Thanks a lot! Will look into rebranding it
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] avi737:

This might not be exactly related with RRos, but since Magisk 18.1, the hide function doesn't work.

Does anyone knows if flashing RAMDISK is still the way to go with this latest version, or is there any compatibility issue between Magisk 18.1 and RRos?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] zinko_pt:
Found the issue:

Do not update to Magisk 7, at least in RRos B3. Stay with 6.1. Or get the APK from APKmirror or any trustworthy online APK store.

Also get the original and patched RAMdisk from here.

Nope, no magisk hide working.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] cypher187:
For me it works perfectly. Running Magisk 18.1 with Manager 7. I'm using banking app with it and passing safety net on RROS Beta3.

I patched original ramdisk with MM, flashed it via fastboot. To ensure magisk environment is correctly set up I flashed magisk.zip through manager afterwards.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] zinko_pt:
I can get it to work with pretty much everything, except Google Pay. It has to be this app in particular.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] maddy143ded:
Just went through all the support pages on OpenKirin website.

"NO Volte" kind of killed it for me. My network is exclusively Volte.

this is the last time I buy any phone that is not Google... Custom ROM option has become negligible over the years for other devices... Its really bad.

I was able to use my Samsung Nexus S for nearly 3 years with latest version of Androids....

Even my old Huawei U8550 still works. It had nearly 4 version updates due to custom rom interest.

My Mi3 lasted me 4 years before i sold it off last year due to some water damage.

But these days the Custom Roms seem to be a dying breed.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] droidbot1337:
the custom ROM scene isnt dying out. its very strong as it has always been but only in phones with snapdragon SOCs. huawei was never going to be a good OEM for custom ROMs. i suggest you buy a 1+ device for long term longevity. the latest phones will have longer longevity thanks to treble but even older phones from 1+ are lucky to have updates.

i suggest you avoid huawei and OEMs that dont unlock their bootloaders. cheers!

Why does the text on screen not appear sharp? It's as if my phone has 480p display? I can post screenshots too if someone has any clue of what's going on?

[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Shred00:
What about an LOS 16 then?

Why not maintain the the LOS builds in the LOS ecosystem as an LOS developer for Huawei devices? That way their automated build services provide timely (OTA even) updates instead of depending on one-off manual builds that are dependent on somebody having time and device availability to do a build?
