[Mate 8 Original Android Development] elek142:
As the procedure seems to be unclear, here is what is working for me to install the OmniRom Pie alpha 6.2 from a nxt-l29 with double-sim and android N (EMUI 5):

1 . Back-up important data

2. Retreive your bootloader code. The free unlocking service by Huawei has been discontinued. You need either to use a paid service (e.g. dc-unlocker for about 4 $, see its website for instructions) or to look for a hack, like this script to brute force it. Don't forget to save the bootloader code.

3. Enter fastboot and unlock your device.

4. Flash TRWP, root the phone by installing SuperSu

3. Debrand to nxt-dl00 (the double-sim doesn't work if debranded to nxt-al10) using SRK tool (some instructions here )

4. Reboot in eRecovery, perform a WLAN recovery. Format data if necessary.

5. Boot the system. You should now be under android N emui 5 for nxt-dl00. Perform one OTA update to be on NXT-DL00 8.0.0.829(C17).

6. Unlock your device again if necessary.

7. For the following steps, do not boot the system. Use physical keys to start recovery (VolUP + Power) and fastboot (VolDown + USB cable).

8. The way encryption is managed on the mate 8 is an issue, you need to remove it:

- One solution is to edit vendor file, see post #8. But I never could grand myself the rights to edit these files.

- You should also be able to format data to solve it, see post #89. But I did not have success here, it seems that the TRWP that we can flash on the mate 8 can't manage to mount correctly the data partition.

- The method from post #86 worked for me, I am just not sure about what it is exactly doing.

9. Download the NXT-DL00 8.0.0.829(C17) stock image (see OpenKirin support, extract the stock recovery and flash it via fastboot. On linux, you may use this script to extract the files.

10. Flash the OpenKirin rom via fastboot.

11. Enter stock recovery, perform a factory reset.

12. Boot the system. The system should not start encryption. Both SIMs should work. Setup your android.

13. Reboot. No encryption error should be raised.

14. If you have errors, you may enter eRecovery and start again at step 6.

Does debranding cause issues or bugs? Or it is stable like normal ROMs?
[Mate 8 Original Android Development] apat26:
It will be stable as normal stock ROM. In fact, it is with stock ROM only when you debrand.
[Mate 8 Original Android Development] birleytweet:
Hey just need some advice. I have a Mate 8 NL10 version that my wife has been using for the past few years. It was 4 years out of date with Android 6 on it. I thought there were no newer updates for it until I found openkirin.net. I decided to just update the recovery to the latest version from https://dl.twrp.me/next/. Now from what I can tell it's likely this phone won't work with this. But wasn't clear when I checked. I've got a OnePlus phone and have been flashing phones for a number of years.

After flashing the recovery I found I can't boot the recovery it would go to the what appears like the stock recovery, but only have an option to reboot or shutdown. If I go to an older recovery such as twrp-3.0.2-0-next.img that was allowing me to boot up.

I attempted to flash lineage-16.0-20200601-emui8-nogapps.img, but then the instructions say to factory reset, which I can't get that option not being able to get the recovery to function.

Still a great phone and was hoping to bring back some life with a later ROM. Is there any hope or is the phone now destroyed? My wife won't be super happy, luckily I did manually backup all the data before hand.

Can I get an original recovery to work and stock ROM? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] succumbtothegreater:
Hi, I just got a OP6 on Friday and it really is an amazing device, but no matter what app I'm in, I get extremely stuttery/jittery scrolling. It happens in Settings, Chrome, XDA, basically anything that has a list or scrolls. Is there any way to fix this? I'm on OxygenOS 5.1.9, I've tried rooting and installing kernels and I keep having the same problem. Is this a known issue? Because it's kinda ridiculous to pay over $500 for a phone that scrolls worse than my 2 year old pixel. So if anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] RiTCHiE007:
try doing a cache clean or fresh install because this isn't normal and it should run smooth like mine does.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] succumbtothegreater:
I've done a full install from fastboot, but I'll wipe cache and see if that helps, thank you.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] deezid:
I noticed it as well.

Franco Kernel helped a bit, especially using Pixel launcher (which is buttery smooth on the Pixel 2)

But the phone isn't as smooth as a Pixel 2 or iPhone X in terms of scrolling inside apps or even launcher.

It shows some frame drops regardless if rooted or not. Seen the same on another OP6 (mine has 128gb his has 64gb).

Clearing cache probably won't help.

Here's to hope the Android P update helps.

And use Samsung Browser instead of Chrome.

Way smoother
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] succumbtothegreater:
I really hope the Android p update helps. On 8.1 my pixel was laggy, kinda similar to the OP6, but after P, it's the smoothest phone I've ever had, definitely hopeful. I'll see about Franco kernel, I'll try it after work, thanks for the suggestion!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] RiTCHiE007:
maybe its because i never owned a pixel that i cant see the jitter but i came from a galaxy with touchwiz so i think this oneplus is butterly smooth :)
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] daleski75:
Definitely agree also seeing jittery scrolling, custom kernels do help a bit but it's still there.

My 120hz iPad Pro is to blame, everything else seems really bad now!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] deezid:
Yh, you definitely have to see it in relation to other devices. Me coming from Touchwiz devices, the phone feels amazing, but knowing how buttery smooth an iPhone X is or Pixel 2 was, it's not that amazing anymore. ;)
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] succumbtothegreater:
Has anyone tried any AOSP or LOS based ROMs that remedy this?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] daleski75:
I have tried 3 custom roms and they are all worse than OOS in my experience for smoothness and scrolling lag.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] deezid:
Oh well, didn't expect this.

Anyways preferring the OnePlus ROM feature set.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] worldsoutro:
I thought it weas just me but I notice the jittery when scrolling slowly in chrome or the android central app. Its not bad, but noticeable.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] carlos67:
Test
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] istrikerx:
This has been present in every OnePlus device since the 3/3T. It's an Oxygen OS issue.

But it's good that more people are finally noticing it, as there's a chance that it'll be fixed... You'll just have to pay for the OnePlus 7 to get that fix ;)

Even a Samsung S8 has smoother scrolling sadly. It's quite annoying. Using a different browser isn't a solution, as I rely a lot on Chrome anyway, but it also runs smoothly on many Android One devices such as the Nokia 7 Plus.

The P beta had the same poor scrolling performance, but hopefully they at least try to fix it for the final version. It's the least smooth device I've used in the last 2 years, but also the fastest... So you can kinda see where their priorities lie. They'd take an extra 0.049ms faster app opening time over 60fps scrolling.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Gadgetguy2005:
Hi all, I came from a series of Xiaomi Phones (Redmi, MiMax etc.) - and I find the scrolling very smooth. Maybe just some devices have this problem? I have hovewer jittery backlight when in night mode (see my other post) which is bothering me quite a bit :(
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] spartan268:
I remembered this being a hot topic before. Wasn't the "solution" to set the CPU governor to be Conservative instead?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] succumbtothegreater:
Apparently not anymore because that made it a bit worse lol. Considering selling the device because it's kinda ridiculous to have top specs and such poor scrolling performance.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] petenoni:
I'm having no scrolling problems... And I had the pixel 2 XL and that **** was laggy.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] jonny30bass:
Same problem here, been jittery since day one for me, and I got mine as soon as it released. Was thinking about returning it, but then decided that it was probably due to my over-sensitive eyes. The smoothest rom that I have tried was OmniRom. It's actually a decent rom, but single touch responsiveness was bad for me. I would sometimes have to touch the screen a few times just for the touch to register. Right now I'm using franco kernel in performance mode with fsync disabled on RiCE 4.4 and it's a little better.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] deezid:
Came around with these settings while using profile gpu rendering:

Dynamic Stune Boost 1

GPU governor: cpufreq

What that basically does is boosting the CPU slightly more while touch input and kinda syncing gpu boost with the now higher CPU boost.

According to the Profile GPU overlay the stutters are greatly reduced, especially in lawnchair Launcher (App drawer animation) and Facebook.

All using Franco kernel V4

Worst kernel I've tried was Smurf kernel with some extreme frame drops.

Stock camera works. I believe it has a few hiccups, but since being on Omni I've experienced no issues. Not sure what brightness bug you speak of (never had it on stock personally) but the screen all the way tuned down is brighter than what stock would be.

Hey everyone,

I'm thinking about switching from emui to Omni.

Can you answer me some questions so it's easier for me to decide if I switch or stay on emui?

1) is it possible to use the emui camera app?

If not, how is the camera quality? Are both lenses used?

2) how is the battery life compared to emui 8?

(I want to use the Chaya Kernel)

3) are there any bugs making it not usable as daily driver?

4) is it rooted?

Thanks for your help& have a nice day!
[Honor 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] udamster:
1) yes you can. The quality is good as the stock EMUI camera. Selfie panorama feature of the camera doesn't work apart from that all other features seem to work.

2)Omni does have a battery bug on Kirin 95X devices hence draun, where the phone didn't go to Deep Sleep mode. But a Custom Kernel MIGHT help you (can't guarantee) and OpenKirin ROMs do not endorse Custom Kernels so you are on your own if you go ahead.

3)Omni ROM is pretty stable, you can use as a daily driver. BUT network switch doesn't work (i.e: can't switch from LTE to 3G etc).

4) No, It is not pre-rooted. You will have to root via Magisk.

You can try this audio mod (kudos to people at 4pda).

Extract the zip file to the root directory. Ensure that odm is mounted rw before you do so. It's also a good practice to backup the folders the zip file replaces so that you can restore it if things don't work as intended.
