For me EMUI 5.0 with C432B560 (android 7.0) is way better than my previous fw C636B321 EMUI 4.1 (android 6.0).
fingerprint sensor is faster,system too and you can get the original android app launcher...
Battery is also a little bit better.
For my simple use of my mate 8 it's great.
emui 5.0 all the way. system is way smoother than on previous versions, boot up time is faster and battery life is actually a little bit better than before as well. so a great all round package
Sent from my Huawei Mate 8 NXT-AL10
of course the latest is the best.. sometimes not but it must be because of few small bugs. people dont create new stuffs without making sure it improves previous version.
doh.....
EMUI 5.0 B577 firmware of DL0017
I was on l29c185b200 and now i switched to emui 5 l29c432b560 and i like it way better than old emui 4.0

where did you get the update from ?
am on L29C185B190 and how can i update to emui 5 l29c432b560 ?
thank you
Need help
Hi... From where you downloaded emu 5.0 for l29c185b200 plz send me link and tell me procedure for update.... Thanks
I think EMUI 4.1 is better.
EMUI 5.0 is the latest version. But as we know, so many apps have not been ready for Android 7.0 which is with EMUI 5.0.
True, for example WhatsApp was updated with Nougat notification support just yesterday.
I am also having troubles with Hangouts and WhatsApp notifications. If you set silent notification sound the notification LED stops working too.
Hangouts on 7 also ignores when I set custom notification sounds. It'll still use the default sound.
Notificationgate all over again?
Battery life is perfect though. I would say the standby time is much better now. Something was draining my battery in standby on 4.0 and I couldn't find what. There were no wake locks and apps were all closed except for Hangouts and the battery graph was still downhill. Now I can get through night with 1-2% of battery used.
HI dear
when i connect the program (EMUI ) with the my device mate8, I press system update it show me massage " No internet connection. please check your network siting"
there is internet in my computer, what is solution
Thanks
EMUI 5.0 is best for me. Only one problem - not kill applications after turn off display.
We now have our hands on, and a method to install the official Android O beta going out to chosen beta testers. It can be installed on any MHA-L29C432 device, or any device rebranded to MHA-L29C432, via FunkyHuawei.
More information, installation instructions, and full changelog here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/FunkyHuawei/comments/75uwkd/october_12_first_official_android_o_beta_for/
Screenshot of about phone here:

Compared to previous betas, this one is a bit more polished. There's no more device-identifying watermark on the screen. There's no more issue with choosing bluetooth profile (yes, you can choose aptX.)
It seems there is new functionality to connect to two bluetooth devices at once.
If anyone has any specific questions about it or things they want me to try, I'll do that and report back. Unfortunately, still cannot install benchmark apps.
NOTE: FunkyHuawei is working together with xda-developers to bring you articles about these builds, such as these:
https://www.xda-developers.com/next-version-huawei-emui-8-0-not-6-0/
https://www.xda-developers.com/android-oreo-emui-6-huawei-mate-9/
https://www.xda-developers.com/huawei-mate-10-porsche-design-confirmed-wallpapers/
UPDATE: I have ported TWRP to work with this Android O build. See here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/preliminary-twrp-3-1-1-0-mate-9-emui-8-t3687622
UPDATE: I was able to install 3dmark, so I will run it and post scores.
Slingshot extreme score is 1803.
Graphics Score: 1681 (Lower than Android N)
Physics Score: 2418 (Much higher than Android N!)
Graphics test 1: 11.6 FPS (Lower than Android N)
Graphics test 2: 5.3 FPS (Lower than Android N)
Physics section 1 42.2 FPS (Much higher than Android N)
Physics section 2 25.8 FPS (Much higher than Android N)
Physics section 3 13.4 FPS (Much higher than Android N)
OS Version 8.0.0
You can compare to Android N average scores here:
https://www.futuremark.com/hardware/mobile/Huawei+Mate+9/review
So we can see a very big leap in physics performance. Overall performance feels considerably faster than Nougat. It's likely 3d graphics are slower, though.
As expected, lowering the resolution using the new option in EMUI 8, allows us to get a much better frame rate. Scores with lower resolution coming.
Update: Some preliminary battery life tests indicate around 12 hours of browsing time on wifi with high brightness. Obviously this test is not very scientific and would vary depending on brightness and so on.
Does the AptX option actually really enable AptX? Did you try to stream some stuff to an AptX-enabled receiver?

I'm not very knowledgeable about it. How would I verify it?

I guess the only way is to try streaming something to an aptX receiver. The one I have does have some LEDs indicating what kind of stream is receiving. But not all devices explicitly tell you this.

Then unfortunately I can't test. I have a bluetooth car audio system but I don't think it supports AptX.
Update: I have ported TWRP to Android O.

Great news! Is it possible to install magisk on this version or we have to wait for special version? Tnx
Do you think it's OK to flash coming from FRomFuture (rooted & BL unlocked of course)? I'm currently using C567 data files, but it was originally a US unlocked L29-C432.

I think you'll want to flash a full L29C432 rom first, to avoid anything bad happening. I recommend just flashing the latest MHA-L29C432B196, as I can confirm it works if you use that as a base, then install with HiSuite / FunkyHuawei.
You'll want to flash using HiSuite which uses recovery1, meaning you don't want to have TWRP installed when you flash.
Benchmarks are not real world usage, 3D games should run on par with Nougat or even better, i hope they improve Vulkan support and all the bugs that the recent firmware has, will be gone.
Please check chrome and net browsing and how it switches between apps, Tekken 6 on ppsspp is the best benchmark to any phone, to discover if a company throttles cpu on purpose, Samsung does that heavily on any phone.
On the Mate 9 using B181, everything works perfect tbh.
Provide some UX screenshots
Have it tried at least 4 times, unfortunately it has not worked with HiSuite. 4 credits thrown out of the window. At the 5th try it worked but with eRecovery method.
Funny experience - actually not for sure - I tried it several times wasting credits with eRecovery and finally succeeded with HiSute.....
Most probably difficult to predict the right way....

HiSuite not working for me at all, tells me I have no internet connection, I'm using the new DNS, not luck, tell me your process, please
Edit: As above didn't work I tried a straight install over first android O using funky eRecovery with new dns and it installed, no needing to downgrade to N
deleted -double entry
Darn, wish I had an aptX product to test with!

I have mate 9 L29-C567 but I use fRomfture B194 using C567 data files. I rebranded to C432. When I booted up it went into erecovery and failed. I turned off the phone and used the erecovery from FunkyHuawei with Android O. It booted fine and now I am on Android O beta for C432.

I'm glad it made it through OK! Thanks, I might give that a try this weekend.

Any final version release date announce?
Since Oreo official release is somewhat obscure, need some enlightment before flashing this :
1. Kindly confirm I will not lose any data
2. It's WW/Global version
3. In case the official ROM becomes available, can we use the same recovery method to flash it.
All those who are eager to try out this rom but are skeptic as how will it work ,and the the bugs.
To them i will say that go ahead and flash this rom & u will never regret.
No whatsapp bug encountered,its fixed.
The rom is perfect without any bug, no lags infact it is quite stable as an official rom.
and yess the battery backup is better than any of the roms i ever installed on this device,let it be marshmallow or noghat. i usually on my usage would get around 5 hrs sot on noughat, but on this i am glad to inform that i get aroung 6 hrs of sot.
this rom doesnt seem to be a beta.........it is perfect to release officially.
Go ahead and try out the rom guys, and you will thank me the for the advice.
Just installed, seems to be ok for now
Thanks

1) On this new update, please backup all of your data because you will lose it.
2) It's WW version (CN,TW, JP will NOT WORK)
3) I will suggest you to downgrade your phone to Nougat (WW 14.2020.1712.85) and upgrade to Official Oreo ROM by ASUS; if available)

Very good man, the bug whatsApp was fixed? This version works in the west?

The bug on WhatsApp is fixed. Remember, it doesn't matter if you are staying in Europe , Japan etc if your phone is WW SKU.
This ROM is for WW SKU ONLY!!!
Have fun flashing

1) The battery backup isn't great on this Oreo ROM (because it overheats our devices). Marshmallow is way way better in terms of battery life. Nougat ROM is pure sh*t.
2) This ROM contains bugs (for example OIS stabilization, overheating, 2nd row of status bar touch problem (hit or miss), APK installation problem from Telegram etc. So it's partially stable I would say.
Has anyone else realised that battery lasts longer with data saver on
I did not lose data when updating... Even my chrome tabs are there

Well thats wierd because i didnt encountered any of the above problems you have listed.
my phone doesnt gets heated even on heavy usage. battery backup is great (3 cycles with 6 hrs sot each)
no apk installation error i got, even ive installed telegram.
only one bug i encountered was while using twin app feature for whtsapp, the twin whatsapp profile pic was not able to upload, but thats nothing.
i love the fluidity of the rom.
The lock screen clock is the worst looking clock I have ever seen on Android. Is there a way to change it?
