Hi there, is there any chance we could see kernel sources for the Huawei P8lite ALE-L21 (International Kirin 620 variant) soon? I'm thinking of buying this phone and hoping to develop some custom roms (Like Cyanogenmod) for the P8lite and Im aware that the kernel sources are out for the ALE-L04 (US Snapdragon 615 variant). Its the lack of kernel sources that are putting me off buying this phone
Honor 4c source
I searched the whole internet but didn't find sourcecode or roms
i only found the sourcecode of honor 4c ( CHM-U01 ) it has almost the same specs .. the same chipset only diffrences in battery and in internal storage
if you can use it to build roms you can find it on huawei's site (EMUI download page)

Thanks but I would be very reluctant to use another phone's kernel sources for this phone because of the difference in sensors and partitions and the fact that the Honour 4C is still on 4.4.2 KitKat
TWRP
there's a custom recovery released for the device here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/testing-twrp-2-8-7-x-huawei-p8lite-qcom-t3187758

Its great to see TWRP for this device but without the kernel source, it will be nearly impossible to build CM from source unless you have amazingly good development skills, which I dont have.
Kernel sources are out!

Sorry, got a Moto G (2015) in the end so unfortunately I can't build it for you
Nothing really to be sad about. Those chips never get kernel source.
So no custom roms for our little huawei p8 lite?

-No need, you can install Vodafone firmware in the non Vodafone device.
-No, as far as I know the highest EMUI version that we have for our device is 4.1.3, but you have to install a rom from other device with Kirin 620, for more detail check this link
-All have bugs
But rom of other device works in my P8 Lite AlE-L21 ???

Did you read the thread?
Works, but they are from specific devices, they have exactly the same CPU as our device, is kirin 620.
Important note, in the thread alert that some variants have snapdragon CPU, so that roms are not compatible.
Ok very thanks
The Huawei P10 Lite has the Hi6250 CPU? Because according to XDA and also my cell phone say that it has this Kirin 658 CPU, but in the development of:
METICULUS https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-lite/development/recovery-twrp-hi6250-devices-t3714938
Does it mention other devices which raise doubts if it is Kirin 658 or 650?
Hi
I have P10 Lite with Kirin 658 -olders brother of Kirin 659)
I am testing now your firmware . But i like better firmware of Honor 7X (also Kirin 659).
You can look at the TWRP how you need in the branch of the Honor here or 4pda.ru
