Phone released in Europe now. Waiting for mine, should be here within a few days. Do you think there will be any custom roms available soon, or at all?
Just made a quick search online and can't find any, and also read that it's against the rules here on xda to link to them in that case? How come?
maybe if Huawei or Honor release source code with binary.. without i thing is impossible or very very complicated, but we are waiting..
If you want to run aosp based roms like CyanogenMod then Honor/Huawei is a pretty bad choice.
Better get a Qualcomm powered phone.
it is a HiSilicon Kirin 935 CPU working. The CPU-Code is absolutely unknown for the moment! No Code = No possibility to get a custom rom!
Or did you know any other Kirin smartphone with a running custom rom on it???
There were a number of custom roms for huawei P6 (released 2013, i owned one) for sure. But not into custom roms, so not sure what was the progress with honor 6 (2014, owned it) and Honor 6 plus on custom roms. Could go through Mate 7, and P8 forums as well.
Possible if searching through Chinese websites might find MIUI 6 for honor 7 or something of that sort.
This is a thread for discussing about BeanStalk build for the P9 Lite.
Personnally, i tried dirty flashing it over CM but my phone went into bootloop. But looks like i am the only one who experiences that.
Remember, a developer is not a machine, he has got a life and a job. Please don't complain about known issues and be respectful
Bug reporting is fine, but not commanding the developer.
I flashed it successfully but the Google Camera didn't work, so I went back to CM. Personally, I like the ROM as it has a lot of features, but it's just not as fluid as CM.
Wrong section tho.

I'm using the ROM for daily things and am impressed with it ! Only some small things that bug or don't show.
Does anyone know how I can install the NFC adapter in the ROM ? I've edited in the build.prop ( added nfc lines from other hw device ) but still no luck. When trying a 3rd party app to activate the nfc i get the toast message : " NFC ADAPTER NOT INSTALLED ".
Anyways, great job on the rom it's the best one here by far imo. Looking forward to see it grow and improve along the way.
Hi there, as can you see here https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/development/xepeleato-s-lineageos-14-1-t3542120, from @XePeleato, he did a LineageOS ROM for P8 lite but he want to help us too, so read the post slowly and if you want to test it, go ahead
In Which phones works?
Che2-L03,Che2-L11, Che2-L12, Che2-L23, Che2-UL00, Che2-TL00, G735-L03, G735-L23
Downloads (Always thanks to Xepeleato for helping us, Really)
Experimental Build 1: http://hisiliconroms.pw:8080/4x-1.zip (it doesn't boot)
Experimental Build 2: http://hisiliconroms.pw:8080/4x-2.zip
Installation Instructions (PD: it is hard)
First of all, you need or XePeleato TWRP for P8 lite here http://error404software.com/android/recovery.zip, or TWRP 3.1.0.0 (custom) from Roman Horulsky here https://mega.nz/#!FxwWjJxA!KrLvc85QD9w97ECX3kNRHM5LLWdGLVQix524JnPk5Og
Go here and get the appflasher https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4x/how-to/install-emui-4-1-4x-4c-g-play-g-play-t3515702
On http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=ale-l21 download any rom that is says FULL, and add it to appflasher with the instructions in the post above
On TWRP Mount everything and install the P8 lite ROM (install ZIP)
Then on TWRP. reboot on Bootloader and Install TWRP again
On TWRP, go to Wipe, but before anything, FORMAT DATA (NO WIPE), why would you say? because when you install a p8 lite rom the phone encryptis itself and you can't use/wipe data, and emui data IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE with LineageOS Data
Wipe Cache, Dalvik, Data, Internal and System
Then install the zip posted above
Bugs ATM
Doesn't work:
No RIL on Single SIM Phones (on Double Sims RIL Works)
No Sound
No Bt
It seems it detects the sd card (you can enter to install things and everything, but only from the notification), in short words it isn't visible in media apps
When i connect the headphones the phone doesn't detect it
Record and see videos (.mp4 files)
Can't confirm, but maybe OTG (all of us the testers don't use it)
What works
Wifi (perfectly)
Camera
it seems GPS works
Install apps from explorer
Play store (it shows all the apps)
Dev Options
No problems with root (it needs to be flashed)
Many thins more
You maybe are wondering, why it doesn't boot on G Play/4X, or it has some sort of Wifi Bugs on G Play Mini/4C? because the net card, P8 lite (and probably 4C too but with different model) have a Siliscon Net card, and we 4X users have a Broadcom Netcard, so the romitself it is trying to load a module for a hardware that we don't have, so it doesn't boot
I did this post here, so we don't inundate the P8 Lite topic
if you have questions about this, it is your time to ask! (and if you are a dev, your help is appreciated)
EDIT: first experimental builds are up, see the 3rd page on comments (added pics)
Alright, so later on I'll build a special zip with a compatible kernel. This is going.to be the workflow.
1) You are interested and send me a PM
2) I send you the zip
3) You answer with your device model and whatever you think it's important like:'wifi didn't work, here's a logcat when I try to enable it's
4) I send another zip...

IT'S NOT POSSIBLE TO FLASH ON CHE2-L11
I have followed all the instructions (slow method), but flashing is not possible on my Huawei Honor 4x Che2-L11. It stops in the flashing process.
When doing adb sideload, it fails with the error message:
Code:
"E:unknown command [log]
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7"
(this is error message in TWRP, not on laptop)
I have never succeeded in installing CM before, so not surprising that I can't install LineageOS. Nobody has taken care of Che2-L11 so it's total uncertain situation while some claim it works but don't show how. I have followed all the advice, tried all the different TWRP versions, but it always got stuck on "patching system image unconditionally" (with CM 12.1 - P8Lite version). Probably reason might be that they are not wiping everything, but keep some partition but forget to tell me about it. I wipe everything.
We need some common effort to make Che2-L11 versions, work together. I can do my part if we cooperate.

As I said, this is a discussion and not the ROM itself, the ROM for 4X isn't available yet, anyways I put these instructions so you can test it, and your error isn't normal
If you want to try, get the boot.img and flash it, the phone won't boot
I made this discussion for people that are interested on lineage OS and want to try the experimental ROM that will be here soon
And it is weird that cm12.1 failed to you too, me with other users already installed other roms, like this one or cm12.1 and it flashed well
All from us for Honor 4X Che understand your frustration too, since even the other devs here of the 4X (che1) ignore us, but at least now someone want to help us,so we need to support him
And yes it is sad that even a dev from other phone is helping us, the only dev we had sold his phone
Thank you for the answer. Can you tell me what you wiped before flashing the CM 12.1? How did you perform the wipe? With format? I think there must be something remaining when you flash CM 12.1, which I am wiping.
Maybe I am flashing the wrong rom. I don't know that there exists any rom of CM for Che2-L11. The one I am flashing, I had to change the update-script to remove first line. Where is the CM12.1 for Che2-L11? I don't think any exists.
I fully understand the situation with lack of devs. I think it can be improved with some better documentation, for example we can make a separate thread here.

When I install custom Roms, first I install any p8 lite ROM (emui) then flash it, and then I have no problems

So I should download the rom zip from p8lite thread and pm XePeleato for a compatible kernel for it to boot? Sorry but there's too many instruction. I can't follow btw I'm on b515. Should I use a p8lite rom for it to work?
@ericotena for now he want to test that we users with 4x, all of them doesn't work to see rare things, for example an 4X working
i mean yes download atleast the zip now, and try with those steps, personally i tested using 4X and @MarcoPLs with P8 lite rom, and we made it to test
Xepeleato said it is enought that if you quote him in 1 comment, so he will pm you then with a rom
@XePeleato I want to test it too when it is available haha. Thanks for your efforts on this rom!!!!
@XePeleato I really appreciate your great job and I wish you can help us , our poor Huawei honor 4x users :laugh:
Don't worry, I couldn't PM you yesterday because the build didn't finish (nothing I can do about it). As far as I know, the ROM has to be compatible with Che2-L11, but if there's other more 'compatible' model I'd like to know it, like the ALE-L21 for the P8 lite.

Ok .. take your time
You're doing great job my friend
Thanks
I want to replace the ROM on my Huawei P8 Lite ALE-L21.
Currently installed: Android 5.0.1 ALE-L211C432B190.
Please help me choose a ROM that would be best for this phone (in your opinion), considering:
- Android version newer than 5.0.1
- Supports Dual Sim
- rooted
- Stable (i need a ROM that is not experimental, but suitable for day to day use, something reliable)
- Has no bugs with hardware/software (eg. sensors, or other features)
- doesn't slow the phone significantly
I am aware this type of question often annoys people (as anyone may consider a different ROM as "best"), but if you can leave your personal feelings aside and give your best 2 cents in answering my request would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
I use AOSPA by surdu, this rom have a better battery life than the original emui and it just works fine, I had RROS in the past but AOSPA is more stable
Thanks @BananeMan1
I've got into some trouble with my phone (bootloader became locked after installing the updates to get EMUI 4.1)
I posed the issue here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/help/p8lite-ale-l21-unlock-bootloader-t3779631
I have some problems with AOSPA:
- Can't access Phone or SIM contacts, only gmail contacts
- Any imported contacts (VCF) went to gmail account and there is no way to save them in Phone or SIM.
- as is not EMUI, HiSuite doesn't work.
While I'm sure it would be fun to try all ROMs made here, for sure I lack the necessary time, therefore I would like to know which ROM is EMUI and works with HiSuite (if any).

This is Lineage OS 13 for p8 lite. It is unofficial, but it is stable. I currently don't know whether that supports saving contacts to the sim card. But you better have a look at the thread.
There is also an Oreo ROM, which is unstable at the moment and doesn't recommend that.
There is also the Lineage OS 14 for p8 lite 2017.
Yours is 2015 so it won't support neither yours or mine.
