Nice to know and thanks for sharing.

How did you get rid of GApps? Just deleted the APKs?

And another question is how's your battery time with it?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Nex23:
Deleted apk and used a root-remover-app. Took a while to find everything (Play Services was named as "Prebuild Play APK" or something.)

Battery life ... i don't know. But i'd say not better than before.

I have FRD-L04 with OmniROM Beta 3.1, to use OmniROM Pie Alpha 2 I need to perform a factory reset or is just like an update?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Sbodezzi:
How did you installed microG?

About the annoying pop up, to get rid of it just long press on the notification, and deactivate it. That's the best solution for me.

You'd be kind enough to make a list of all installed gapps please ?

Is it possible in rros to do an additional screen in the homescreen which is in the left side of the middle. I can only adjust screens in the right side. Thanks guys
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] cypher187:
Maybe just adding a screen to the right side and set the middle one as home screen? But I don't use Trebuchet or Nexus Launcher - I use Nova Launcher instead. I suggest you take a look at Nova or Lawnchair. But it's just a matter of taste which one you prefer.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Palindrom87:
Ive tried it, but when i go back to homescreen from a app it goes to the left screen because i think its the main screen. Dont want any third party launcher. But thanks anyway

Okay Omnirom alpha 2 is only pie version of these?

How about me Android pie gestures it's that included in this rom? Any problems so ever with the this latest update? Should I stay stock rom or is this better?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] ThePS4Gamer:
Yes, OmniROM Pie is the only Pie ROM yet, but it will probably change in the future. Yes, Android Pie gestures are included and I use them as my main method for navigating the phone's UI. Yes, there are some problems (NFC and Wi-Fi tethering doesn't work, but you can enable NFC by rooting the phone and installing the NFC4PRA Magisk module), but otherwise the ROM is really stable and I can tell the difference between OmniROM Pie and EMUI 8 in regards to speed and reliability. EMUI 8 was buggy af and had some major slow-downs, but Android 9 seems pretty fluid and stable besides the fact that you need to manually implement NFC into the system and the lack of implementation for Wi-Fi tethering. If you love stock Android, would like to upgrade to the latest Android version and/or want a more stable, faster and cleaner experience than EMUI, then this ROM is a must-have.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] apelamod:
Hey thanks for the reply... Sound great I think I go for latest alpha then. WiFi tethering and NFC I don't need or use so it's not problem at all.

It is difficult to Bootloader Unlock Huawei devices as the company took down the required download page and stop supporting the unlocker feature on May 25, 2018. If the phone was unlocked prior to that date, ROMs may still be possible (I don't know because my Honor 8 is locked). EMUI 8 is best I can use currently.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] ThePS4Gamer:
It works better than in EMUI. It takes sharper images on my European Honor 8, but it depends on the models you own.

Alright, could i also go back from Pie to Oreo ? (This is most times an issue.)
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] pix106:
I suppose so, flashing some Oreo custom ROM, or using a stock rollback package. I did not have to, pie is working just fine on my honor 8.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Nex23:
Ok, this would be complicated.

Is there also a ramdisk with Magisk integrated or any other way of installing Magisk for Pie ? Like this for Oreo:

[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Nex23:
Yeah i know, but i have no idea what a patch is and how to do that.

Maybe since many people might want this, there may be a person here who will do this ?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] pix106:
Just use magisk manager app. Read magisk thread, it's all there

Hmm is there heat issues with alpha 2 ROM?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] pix106:
... You don't, as this rom is only a system image (=system partition only), so everything else is from stock rom.

Please read instructions (rom install, magisk) before asking next time, every one of your questions had its answer there :)

ok i've pulled the trigger and switched to Omni Oreo (beta 3.1) from EMUI 8 (B521) on my L09C432

I've followed the instructions and everything seems to be working properly

however!

while performing the factory reset using the stock recovery, the progress indicator stopped at 18% and a warning message briefly showed up

should I be worried?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] udamster:
Nope. You don't have to be worried,it's normal since you are no more using EMUI. even though it stops at 18% the full resetting happens.

Is anyone experiencing slow download speed on OpenKirin's website?

I'm trying to download a rom, but the download speed is at 32kb/s maximum.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Nex23:
Yes, it's slow, but not that slow usually.

I have OmniRom Pie now and the only issue i have is the auto-brightness.

On Oreo it wasn't the best but the brightness stuff in Pie generall is really wierd. Sometimes it's really bright but the brightness slider is on low and when i touch the brightness slider, the the brightness actually goes to low.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] zinko_pt:
I don't have access to Telegram (I've tried) and I have some (probably normal for a alpha) issues with Pie Alpha2. I've just installed last night (I shouldn't as I didn't sleep :p enough) :

- Notification led doesn't turn on. I've searched every corner of settings and found nothing that could have it off.

- Can't find any option to set location services to battery saving (GPS off).

- Network bars don't move. I have 2 SIM cards and none of the bars move up/down. Not a big thing as long as calls are fine which I haven't test,

I'm sorry if this is basic stuff or I'm being redundant but I've tried to search for the solution but no joy.

Also, I can't remember if I flashing GAPs is required or Google framework, but Google Play works.

Hey,

I would like to flash back emui 8 on my FRD-L09 running RROS, is there anyway to do so? I checked Openkirin website for instruction but I'm not sure of having understand all the steps.

As in the instruction (https://openkirin.net/user_guide/how-to-flash-extracted-partition-images/) they only use the UPDATE.APP of the update.zip and they dont the other zip: the update_all_hw.zip and update_data_public.zip that you get when downloading a frimware from frimwarefinder.

Thanks !
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] ThePS4Gamer:
If it's hard to understand, then I have a more straightforward guide to go back to stock:

1.) Boot into eRecovery by holding down the Vol+ key during the yellow exclamation mark screen.

2.) If it asks for a factory reset, do it.

3.) Tap on the Download the latest software version/software recovery option.

4.) Connect to your Wi-Fi network.

5.) The phone downloads the latest version of EMUI 8 and automatically installs it.

6.) If it asks for a factory reset again, do it all over again.

7.) Wait until the phone boots up (it takes up to 5-10 minutes).

8.) Congratulations! You have successfully come back to EMUI 8.

okay guys need help...flashed omni pie aplha 2 and it worked great but after i tryed flash chihayafuru-v0.45-sec-sep its stays omni logo not bootup. what to do now reset not work...=(
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Jelke997:
flash the old kernel, if you dont have it then download the UPDATE.app from HWFirmwareFinder and extract the kernel from it with firmware extractor (there are plenty tutorials on xda & google)

the chihayafuru kernel requires specific security patch (september+ ) thats why you have to pick the right download link...
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] pix106:
If I got it well, "sec-sep" means it's the kernel you can install if you had emui with September security patch.

So you have to flash the kernel that suits your vendor emui security level.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] zinko_pt:
Got back to RRos B3 as Alpha has bugs (some important for me) to be ironed. B3 not perfect but way better.

Need to say that stock emui8 is much faster and smoother than pie alpha 2. There is little lag sometimes. How about alpha 3? Or others openkirin roms. Who can recommend these others over stock?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] prcek15:
Alpha 3 is smoother than A2, but still not as smooth as Oreo builds (LOS, RR,...)
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] apelamod:
Can you recommend to try? Better experience than stock Oreo? Mean loss or rr
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] prcek15:
Yea, I'm using it for 2 days and its the best rom for me. Not smooth as it could be, but everything else is ok. I dont use NFC and 5GHz wifi hotspot, so everything works for me. Battery is better than Oreo (I have new battery, 2 months old) and have 3-4 SOT. With Oreo its about 3 SOT.

[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] ThePS4Gamer:
Nope, you don't need to connect it. Just hold the Vol+ key AFTER the Honor logo shows up and the yellow exclamation mark screen appears.

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------

Strange. In my opinion, EMUI 8 and the Oreo custom ROMs were lagging on my Honor 8, but OmniROM Pie is smoother than EMUI 8 and the Oreo custom ROMs combined. It's that smooth. I've never had any lags since I switched from EMUI 8 to OmniROM Pie (even the first alpha was more fluid than water). But yes, it depends on your Honor 8 model. I've never had any issues with speed on my factory unlocked EU 32GB model (FRD-L09C432), even after I installed so many apps on the phone that the storage is completely full.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] NewzMann1812:

[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] NewzMann1812:
I'm pretty sure you should be safe to update without needing to re-flash. only need to re-flash and do a format when switching between different custom roms.

I am running the OmniROM Pie Alpha 3 rom, does anyone know how to change the boot animation?

it wont change when i use Midnight Core, Boot Animation apps, or manually change it in system\media\bootanimation.zip (with correct file permissions).

I have root via magisk and unlocked boot loader.

everything i try says it changed the animation but it just keeps playing the default OmniRom Boot Animation.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] cypher187:
You mean update RROS to a newer RROS? Yes, just flash system.img (dirty). No wipe needed and all your data will be kept. Like NewzMann1812 already said, you only need to wipe if changing ROMs (switch from RROS to Omni or else)

Try Substratum. I don't have Omni, but it's working on RROS.

Hi,

I'm currently using omnirom pie a3 on my FRD-L09-C432. Prior to installing it, stock rom was 8.0 521, with july 2018 vendor security level.

Since last summer, official updates went out, 8.0 562 seems approved for installation according to firmware finder app.

Is there any point going back to stock, upgrading stock firmware, and then unlock and install omnirom pie a3 again ?

Thanks.

[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] apelamod:
Ok just stay Omni. I don't see any benefit or reason if you go to update stock and move back Omni. Use erecovery if you like to back to stock. You don't need to unlock nothing to move back Omni again.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] pix106:
well, your opinion...

I'm not trying ro reinstall omni pie, it works just fine and i don't want to go back to a previous android version.

I'm just asking if updated drivers/binaries/anything that are in vendor partition, used by both stock and custom roms, could be useful in omnirom pie.

If updated stock version only has a more recent android security level, then it has no point as android security level gets updated in pie source too.

Hi,

I flashed the OmniRomPi Alpha3.

Whenever I wanna do a factory reset in recovery it stops at like 17%.

In the menue from the phone I cant even start factory reset.

Is that supposed to be like that or did I do something wrong?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] zinko_pt:
It was asked/answered previously: It's normal, although recovery stops at 18%, it wipes the phone.
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] skyrush7:
I can recommend to go back to stock. I did it 3 days ago, and flashed the custom kernel for B562. Now I got 6 hours 21 min of SOT with 12% of battery charge left. The battery life is just amazing.

which soc time do you have with rros last build? I have 3,5 hours. Is that okay? Thx

another question: if i install rros again (im still on rros) will be my configurations deleted? (like settings)?
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] cypher187:
1: Depending on your settings and what you do - yes, that's quite normal. Idk my SOT - didn't have a look at it but must be around 4 hours while playing games or sth else. Standby time - depending on my average usage - can be up to 48 hours (my average standby time is 24 hours).

You see, the range is very huge and there are lots of dependencies.

Maximum SOT was 6 hrs for me, even it was brand new.

2: You can dirty flash / no wipe is needed. So nothing will be deleted.
