As a result of the research I conduct as a part of FunkyHuawei, I've currently got my hands on what looks to be a prerelease version of EMUI 5.1 for the Mate 9, Chinese version (I also have the same build for the Mate 9 Pro). I will be installing it, testing it out, and posting my findings here.
Initial observations:
The boot logo/sound is the same as EMUI 5.
The touch response is VERY NOTICEABLY improved.
The performance is very noticeably improved. Apps open instantaneously.
Although there are strings that indicate it's EMUI 5.1 in the filesystem, 'about phone' still shows Android 7.0 EMUI 5.0
Wifi throughput has improved. I previously got 100mbps, I now get 180mbps.
There is a need to enter an employee Huawei ID login, but I was able to bypass this by not having internet connectivity when starting the phone the first time. Still, it comes up and blocks access to the phone periodically. I'm looking to find a more permanent way around this.
Update: I've gotten around it by rooting and freezing the beta app with Titanium backup. I'll use this as a daily driver and see how it goes.

I haven't got a pro so I can't be sure. If there's something I can check within the update.app partitions, let me know. I'm not very familiar with daydream.

Hi.
I imagine that there should be Daydream specific apks like:
com.google..android.vr.home
com.google.android.vr.inputmethod
Thanks!

I've got it installed. Working on bypassing a nag screen to enter a Huawei Employee ID login.
Bypassed and now usable as a daily driver
The difference in touch response time is incredible. Typing feels like typing on an iPhone now.

This is great to hear! Always love to see a device develop and better itself, can't wait until the time comes to try this out on my MHA-L09C432
Is there the new Portrait mode in camera?
I believe the P10 and Mate 9 share the same camera hardware and since the small P10 has the same features as P10 plus I expect the Portrait feature to come to the Mate 9 as well.
Are there any voice assistants included, Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa?

The P10 Plus has a different camera and has more features than the regular P10 ( don't know about the new portrait mode ).

It's the Chinese version, so no alexa or google. I will be looking into US version betas soon.
I didn't notice any extra camera modes yet. I think this is only the second EMUI 5.1 beta for the Mate 9, though, so it might be coming.
What about notifications.... Facebook, Instagram, Viber, messenger.... Have you test if it's been fixed to this version?

Notifications still have issues, as far as I can tell. Not very good news. Of course, this only applied to the Chinese version.

You absolutely should debrand. Chinese version, although it has the fastest updates, is awful.

After full debrand (with your funkyHuawei) did you notice any problems?
I'm from Greece... It's better to debrand to Europe or International version?
I have already take bootloader unlock code in any case but I have never use all this method with adb etc

With recent version 158, I've never had notification problems. But unless it uses google services for the notifications you have to keep it open in the background. I think Greece would be European version.
Oh my goodness.... Could you clarify how touch response for emui5.0 compares to 5.1??
I'm on build b138 emui 5.0 and already I find this the fastest Android I ever got

I will be installing it, testing it out, and posting my findings here. I am considering making it install-able via FunkyHuawei to a limited number of Mate 9 users as well.
The change log gives us no new information, but the latest build number is B202 (there is also a B201). Looking at the update.app, there are strings which indicate that it is EMUI 5.1 -- it is also maintained separately from the EMUI 5.0 closed betas, the latest of which is B173.
More information coming once I've installed it. I'd guess roughly around 7 or 8 hours after this post.

Can you install CPU-Z and look at the build versions mentioned there?
Does anyone have the US 128g 6g ram version of this phone? No one has been able to confirm that Android pay works with this model. Me and some others have tried and failed. All are on the stock software 7.1.1.
Has anyone used NFC and Android pay with this particular model of the Axon 7?
ZTE did not implement NFC, OTG, or MHL in the Axon or Zmax lines.

Well I've used Android Beam a lot of times, NFC works perfectly. can't talk about Pay though
Android pay works on the 4 Gig model with 64 gig of memory. The issue is with the 6 gig model with 128 gig of memory. If anyone has this model and can try out Android pay, it would be very much appreciated.

NFC is there and works like a charm. Used Android Beam with a friend's OP3T a bunch of times
OTG has saved me once on a pretty nasty brick. Even knowing that, I downloaded a couple of OTG compatibility tester apps and they both tell that it works.
MHL, in the other hand, isn't supported. Some say that this DisplayLink thingy can work, but I'm not sure if they tested.

I have the 6GB/128GB model of the A7 and I can't get Android Pay to work either. I have tried it at Trader Joe's and Walgreens and it just sat here and did nothing. I even went to a friend's coffee shop and he rung up something for $1.00 so I could try it. It didn't work and I know he supports Android Pay. I was moving my phone all around on his terminal and it would never go thru. He said, "Why are you doing all that?" Then he took his own Android phone and it went thru like a charm. Something isn't right with this phone.
Yes, I *DID* have NFC turned on.
Thanks for your reply. Let's hear from ZTE on this! Must be a software fix for this!

There was a new version of Android Pay that came out few days ago. I haven't had a chance to try it again since installing the update. Have you?
Did not try it. I called ZTE and was told that this is a known issue and a software patch is in the works. No ETA on the patch however.
Hopefully that is a true statement.

Same here. Big miss if they don't get this done on their current flagship device in my opinion. I'll follow up periodically and see what updates are available.

We're very sorry for the delay. I was hoping I would have a solution for you. We've reached out to our Research and Development Team, and we have not yet gotten a resolution to this issue that our Axon 7 Enhanced consumers are experiencing. It should work, as it does in the 64GB Axon 7 device. We do have a post in our community forum operated by our R&D team, where you're welcome to post and interact with them. We're working a fix, however, I am unable to speculate when we will have more information available. As soon as we have additional information, I will update you all. Thank you for your continued patience as we strive to resolve the issue with the chip.

Thanks for the update. I would certainly expect the next update, or security patch would include a fix for this issue. That's a very reasonable request to make for the current flagship mobile phone from ZTE.
ZTE has found the problem and it exist on the Premium version of the phone. They will be fixing it in the next update.

Hi, I know that the P10 Lite is going to get the Emui 8.0, but I was wondering if it will get the huawei face unlock too. Other huawei phones have already gotten it, so will the P10 Lite get it?

We'll find out when someone gets access to the update (beta or release).
I wouldn't recommend anyone actually use it if it does get added. It's horribly insecure to use any kind of face unlock without the hardware to make it secure. Practically anyone would be able to unlock your device with little preparation. Even with a good software implementation, it's still relatively easy to cheat it.

Hi, it sounds like a cool feature and I wanted to try it. If it comes I think that I will use it, because I really don't care if someone sees my photos and all of that stuff and I don't have friends that will steal my phone, if someone steal my phone he will probably don't even try to hack it. There are really not that much people like this in my city plus that I am not something like a secret agent, so... ?

Certainly. I just wanted to warn you (or anyone reading it) that it's not actually secure. It can add a tiny deterrent too so it's not as bad as slide to unlock for example.
Some of the problems with it is that without additional sensors it relies on a 2D image to recognize you. Sometimes it can unlock via photos of you or people who look similar. That's why Apple's facial recognition works: multiple sensors that are very difficult to cheat and requires targeted prep work to even succeed hence a random pickpocket won't be able to do anything.
You can add software tricks such as checking for eye blinking to determine if it's a live person and use software algorithms to increase accuracy but these can be cheated which is why I don't think even Google's AI team could develop a safe method that only needs a camera.
Just wanted to explain why the software solution is generally a bad idea if security is important to you.
I think you may get your wish though. I don't see why Huawei wouldn't do it. After Apple did it, it seems like it has become a sought after feature again but these companies don't tell you that it's not the same as what Apple did which is unfortunate for most people if they get a false sense of security.
Finger print is still quite secure though and fast too
Probably not, Lite gets a lot of features cut. A lot of them can be unlocked with build.prop editing, but we'll have to wait to know for sure.

No bro. I have the Huawei p10 lite with the Oreo 8.0.sumn
And It doesn't come with face unlock. Everything else is ok but the camera. They deliberately ****ed up the once almost perfect camera that the phone came with too. I'll advice you root the hell out of that **** bro??
But one positive is that they keep rolling out Google security patches every single month

This is the reason for me to throw this garbage away. Without 8.1 I'm not able to listen to BT music in my company's cars and on one of my speakers because of AVRCP 1.6. Google messed it up but fixed it with 8.1 - Huawei won't update the P10 to 8.1 and if they will do an update to 9.0 is also doubtful.
But as they said to the missing unlock code providing:
"We want to provide a better user experience"...well f*ck it Huawei.

To give more money to Huawei so say can produce more **** like this?
The hardware is great but Huawei does a crappy job with their software - no third party integration, no frequent updates, no unlocking, no theming.....
I switched from Apple to get more freedom but what I got an Android system with good features on the one hand but on the other hand completely locked OEM software.

I have update every month and i have themes. Freedom on Huawei devices you cannot find if you dont have unlocking bootloader. On my P10 i have freedom on new P20 freedom goodbay ?
Software is stable and fast, good batery life and simillar but like you say is kinda a locked like Apple IOS. For me now MIUI (Xiaomi) have better software than EMUI (Huawei)
Sent from my Huawei P10 using XDA Labs
Xiaomi will be my next phone if OnePlus won't make a smaller device. Themes on EMUI aren't as complete as substratum themes. The only thing I like is that you can set global app themes which are showing in sharing menus, settings and co.
But you can't install a third party DSP on EMUI and Xposed is also a very huge risk.

I have locked bootloader on my P10 and i have themes and monthly updates.
My wife has a P20 pro and has locked bootloade ralso. She has monthly updates and many themes.
Where did you get the info you dont have freedom on your P20?
What do you profit with unlocked bootloader (except custom roms, which are working sometimes and sometimes not)? I had unlocked bootloader , i had root but unrooting and rooting the device every month when a OTA comes or spend time to sideload the OTA and praying that my device don ´t get bricked are over. I am happy with the camera, performance, battery life..so on my side no need to root anymore.
When i want to play i pick up my google pixel XL (and next month pixel 3 ).
Version 379 is now releaded....gpu turbo version
Which game can i play on it? For example?
Hi @freeacer how can I install it from firmware finder?
You must waiting for approve, Huawei servers are under encryption and we must waiting for OTA via system update
Is there any custom rom that contains the gpu turbo path?
Hello and thanks in advance. My tablet is the wifi only version. I haven't received an update since July 2018. I'm contemplating purchasing a iPad pro 10.5". I need something stable that I can take pictures, simple edits, post to eBay, FB. Something to use instead of a Chromebook or Windows laptop. I tried a Chromebook but the display was so dark I could hardly work on it. The size of this is fine but what will he better if I were to root it?
Also I found this HuRUpdater, but it's from 2016. Is that the most current? And same for a TWRP.
I've been reading about rooting for years but I have never done it. Searching for the most current ROM was always a spider web so hopefully someone will chime in and point out where to go etc. I realize everyone is very busy so anyone replying, I will be very thankful!
