Hey guys.
I was asking on Google+ what we could do to improve the Honor 8 comunity.
It was said for me to look over on MoDaco.
I had never heard of it so went and had a look.
I found a forum set up for our wonderful phone the Honor 8.
It's all set up, ROMs, Recoverys & TWRP.
I found it all.
It also has a tool to help build a custom ROM. Honor are obviously putting money into the development community for the Honor 8.
The only thing missing is for people to get involved to make it all work.
I think that we have a great phone here with a great future.
It's up to us to make the comunity for this phone work.
Have a look.
Google MoDaco Honor 8
John
A link would of been nice just to see what's going on over there...

He basically abandoned the phone a month after he got it. Look at the dates on the posts
and all his files are on money making click sites and outdated
Don't get me wrong, I like Paul but he abandons devices way too quickly

That's his loss.
From what I can see the Honor 8 is going to be a very suppored phone.
They seam to have latched onto the fact that people will buy phones after thier initial release based on the support for thier development opportunities.
They look like they have put money into this MoDaco forum and tools for making ROMs etc.
I'm very happy with my honor 8 and I have come nowhere near wanting to root (yet!)

Yeah we can only wait and see
You know Honor broke their promise on the H5X and it's not getting EMUI 5 / N anytime soon only security patches
I have been with Honor sense the 5X was released and Got the H8 on a Black Friday deal. It's a nice phone on EMUI 5 / N
But their software development is very slow compared to some of the big name players

Yea you have to wade a bit for info, but just sort by newest and do a ctrl F for anything you're interested in.
No Oxygen OS tomorrow
90 days after Lollipop release, we will have CM12S out :laugh: ha NOT.
This sucks, but going on 5 months now, and still no official Lollipop for the OnePlus One. 5 freaking months already, and no release yet
The most annoying thing is that I moved from Samsung 'cause updates there take ages... Now they have Lollipop before us... Unbelievable....
We've been tricked! Lol we get what we pay for. Were paying low price for a high end device so dont expect on time releases.
Sent from my OnePlus One via Tapatalk
It's a business decision. If it makes sense revenue wise to get updates to users earlier then that is what is expect.
To be fair most companies slip up here.
And it's not hard to get cm12 but I agree that an official release would be nicer.
I'm still excited about both options they are going to provide.

They want just to skip next Android M Or 5.X next release saying it is supported for 2yrs... 5 months after lollipop release and they have people which trusted them in their selfish arses...
This makes me wonder why my transition from Nexus 4 not the Nexus 6, but this device? Apart from cheaper price, it's not great and can't compare in any flagship in any way.
With low price, I paid for very bad support (ghost screen is unresolved) and unconditionally delayed OS updates.

I'm quoting a user who contacted Honor UK asking about the EMUI 5.1 update
johnhux7 said:
I have been taking to Honor UK on hangouts.
Honor has no plans to release EMUI 5.1 at the MO.
They also said about the promice of updates :
"The "promise" was a Honor US thing. No European countries were part of that."
They also said :
"The Honor 8 is due to get an update soon. As to what's in that again no info."
These are exact copies of what they said.
Will post more when they say more
John
More quotes
"We are committed to updates, we just don't want to be caught out by publishing press releases with timescales in."

I hope that this thread will be noticed by the Huawei/Honor community managers, and that they'll take full responsibility for all the false claims and misleading motto about supporting the Dev community (that includes releasing proper source code) + 2 years updates + XDA partnership.
We need an explanation.

It would be great to have some reply from @Honor UK (Verified), @HonorUSA or @Rox_Honor, but I don't think we will be that lucky...

Yepp, disappointing. My last Honor personally, will move to another brand.
I'm a big fan of the Honor/Huawei camera, its the best out of all brands I've used including Apple, but they need to improve the updates and release the kernel source. For a moment I was close to selling the Honor 8 and getting a OnePlus for a better software experience, but I managed to go jump through hoops to manually update the phone.
I paid $280 for my Honor 8. I have been nothing but happy with it. If you don't like it, move on to something else honestly.

If you got your phone for a good price and you're happy with it, it's good for you. This thread exposes some facts and its aim is to get a "minimal" support from Huawei. So, maybe we'll move to something else 'honestly' in a near future. But many users can't afford it
Don't get it. People are calling some underpaid support guy on the customer level, mostly not really tech avid guys and quite uninformed and than believe what they're saying? Honestly?
There is only one department for outside communication. And you never talk to them. Relax and don't believe what so [email protected] guy is saying you, as they often get informations even later than the customers.

I know what you mean. Though, I like my honor 8 phone but their support is by far the worst . I ask questions in their community forum site and hardly ever get any responds . And, I even wait a few days for an answer, still nothing . To me that's not acceptable . It would be different if I were asking my question here on a non Honor website but my questions are direct to them, unacceptable PERIOD

Lol it's the same even with supposed top brands like Samsung your calling a call center usually from another country that has only been trained to tell you how factory reset your phone from settings or from a button combo. If that doesn't solve it you are usually directed to send your phone back for warranty if it is under warranty or pay to fix your phone. So it's not just honor brand.
Yeah, I like the hardware especially at the price but software support is too poor for me to ever consider Honor again. Too many bugs and too few fixes.
It's the same on every single brand. My last was LG V10. A very pricy device. But no updates, not even security updates in time. I was expecting this for a 650€ device. On the H8 I got Nougat right after I booted it. And it was only 360€. Quite good. I'm disappointed by the closed source policy though. They promised more and that's why i didn't get the bq devices with some kind of Cyanogen on it. Still not sure if it was a wise decision.

I had to ask Honor UK to release the source code for the kernel more forcefully than i'd like to ask any company. I guess the only way for the community to get something out of Honor is to ask them many times.

That maybe so . I wouldn't need another phone for a few years . When that day does come I will make sure beforehand which company provides a good phone and support, one thing is for sure it wouldn't be Huawei
I want Security updates once a month.
B360 has the patches from three and a half months ago.
That's...crap, honestly.
I'm not asking for shiny new features and the latest version of Android. Those would be great, but EMUI 5.1's not horribly out of date. Security fixes so my data's not stolen or device ****ed up are kind of important.
So I had a quick conversation with the Honor US team. Their customer support agent (Who was very kind btw) hasn't received information about any future updates or Oreo. I'm starting to become a little skeptical about getting Oreo on our phone. Also multiple articles about Huawei devices recieving Oreo have been taken down. Let's hope for the best.
Hope our Honor 8 will get O, but if no, we have reason for buy a Pixel devices like Pixel 2
If we don't receive Android O I return to iPhone devices

But we do need to consider the price of this device. I paid 290 dollars for my phone and a pixel or iPhone will cost somewhere around 700 dollars.. That's nearly 2 and a half times the cost of this phone. In no way we can compare this phone to those phones but yes Honor promised 2 years of updates and they should live up to it.

I don't think that means anything about a firmware update. They could update Emui and provide security updates for 2 years and fulfill that promise. Afterall, security updates come out very often and though most manufacturers ignore most of them, they are there every few months for the taking. So Huawei throws one of those out every now and then and they keep their promise. I hope we get it like everyone else but I don't trust any of those wormy cell phone manufacturers.

They said the same things with Nougat. I come from a Lumia 630 and as you know Microsoft said that ALL the Windows phones would be updated to Win10. Well in the end 1/3 of them received the "update" a crappy bugged beta. The rest was out, with even ms services down.
So is better for them to don't say anything if not confirmed.
Right people.
Just to start the discussion...do you think we'll get Android 8 Oreo on the AXON 7 Mini? I'd hope we will...it's a darn longshot...but who knows

It took us long enough to try and get Nougat! It would be nice, but don't hold your breath.
Dear ZTE customer,
Sorry, there would be no plan for new AXON phone lately. But, don't worry, I will send your wish to our engineer.
Thanks!
I haven't got Nougat yet, for god's sake! I tried manual update but it failed. I have to wait for OTA update, IF it ever arrives here in Finland :/
I personally don't think the mini will see 8.0 Oreo. The regular Axon 7 might. The mini just never sold well and I've yet to figure out why. I love nine. It's built extremely well and high premium. The speakers are amazing. To be honest I think it's priced so low that most people think it's garbage and therefore not worth it. That's the only reason this phone isn't flying off the shelf. There is no other reasonable explanation.

The update for Oreo is already being worked on. Just like the Nougat update, there will be a closed beta. I don't have time frames available to me yet, but rest assured, it's coming. And no, I won't reveal my source(s), I'm bound by an NDA.

The odds of that happening are extremely slim, as Android nougat came out more than a year after its initial release. Also most flagship phones are only supported for 2 years, let alone a mid-range phone.
Found this article.
I don't really know if it is true, but i still have hope.
Sorry Guys...
If you were hoping to get updated to EMUI / OREO 8.0 in Quarter One...
Like Huawei / Honor PROMISED!
Then it saddens me to inform you it's not coming until at least Quarter Two of 2018 now...
https://www.xda-developers.com/honor-7x-honor-8-emui-8-q2-2018-honor-france/
Are you sticking with the 7X now?
I personally don't like companies that lie to their customers.. They should have never thrown Quarter One out there if they new they were not going to meet target.
It's the "Budget Phone" of the 2017 lineup.. but this is still a slap in the face.
It's still coming just a little late.
You sound like a junkie desperate for a fix.
It missed the target by a few weeks a month or more there's bigger things to worry about.
Compare it to the recent botch job of a update by Xiaomi.

Now Huawei / Honor Has Shown Their True Colors....
THIS IS THE BOTTOM TIER UNIT.. AND NOT WORTH ANY REAL EFFORT.. In their eyes.
There is not a Gosh Darn Reason this should not have gotten Oreo by now when the View 10 lanuched with it.. and now, they are saying it may not be here until JUNE!
It's because it a $199.99 phone... that's why.
I personally do not like being lied to.. I went through this with ZTE.. promising 7.0 and giving nothing.
I do believe they also promised the 6X Nougat.. and delayed and delayed it.. ( Did it ever get it? )
And Finally,
What Does This Do To The Development Community ?
There Is No Nougat Image Even Released ! and it's been over 60 days since this device went on sale !
There Sure As Hell Ain't Going To Be An Oreo Image Released at this pace UNTIL July / August !!!
Can't create any ROM's without any Images! Stripped or Otherwise.
Project Treble.......................................Down The Drain........... now, for at least several months.
If Ever.
Do You See ANY Developer's Waiting Around For This Device ?
Not when the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5, Moto G6 Plus, OnePlus 6 Hell..... EVEN HONOR"S OWN VIEW 10! are right there and will have STRONG Developmental Support behind each and every one of them.
All of you that rooted.... you did the right thing... may as well have fun with it if you are going to keep it (Just don't muck it up so you can at least sell it at some point)
Even though it's feature packed (in my eyes) for a budget device Honor is just not "Honorable"
That means A LOT to me. And you're telling us you can't get the final tweaks right within the next 50+ days???
Then you are not putting forth much effort to meet target on your bottom of the line device.
And the competition I mentioned is just around the corner.. and they WILL LAUNCH with Oreo 8.0.. and get TREMENDOUS Development Support... with or without the advantages of Project Treble...
The 7X 's Loyalty Is About To Be Tested.
Doesnt bother me actually... id I NEED Oreo, ill likely just hop on a custom rom (Already got a beta AOSP Oreo out) but happy with 7 for now. I came form the V8 Blade Pro so waiting another Q or 2 isn't that bad.
I'd rather wait for a finished product as opposed to getting a half assed rushed disaster tbh.
I find it disappointing that there is not a full firmware available for download.
Are they delaying Oreo for other reasons? They should at least have the firmware for Nougat.
How did they install from the factory? Seems a little lame.
When did they promise a Q1 release? Cause any time I've reached out to customer service, all they told me was "soon." I know there was some XDA article about it back in like September, but I never really determined if that was anything more than hearsay.
Honor US has said they're shooting for a release "by April", which technically does not rule out a Feb/March release (though I doubt it will come before April).
It's Not That Good..

I don't take it well being LIED to by a company.. Bargin Basement phone or not.. if you are UNAWARE of whats going on in Your Own Labs.. and have NO REAL IDEA when you can have a project THAT YOU PROMISED would be completed within a given time frame then, STFU and don't throw Wild Completion Dates out there that you unable to keep. Honor Oreo works on the View 10.. but NOT on the 7x ???
IT'S RIDICULOUS. :angel:
And you're right.. If the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 OR the Moto G6 Plus looks as good as the renders... with the support they will get WORLDWIDE this thing is out the door.

Custom ROM ???
WHERE???
I don't see ANY ROM's here on XDA... Where Is This Beta ???
Is it some hack in someone's basement ???

I somewhat agree though I'm not too ticked off. This is a very solid phone, but by the time we get 8.0 (April apparently) Android P will already be in the works. Well, just know that I'll most likely never purchase another Honor device again. The Moto G6 Plus is looking really attractive though, I might ditch the 7x for the G6 this coming summer.
Go look in the Roms, kernels forum, it's there.
I'd like to see a list of which companies have NOT missed delivery dates at some point for their updates along the way. It isn't unusual at all, and doesn't really meet the criteria of a lie in my opinion, but everyone can take it how they like. I've managed projects before so I know that timelines slip for many reasons, very rarely is it becuase of a desire to decieve anyone. But I can't ascribe motive to them, I can only see what is happening. Anyway, sorry it has apparrently been a life-destorying moment for some to hear this news, but I agree with many on here that I would rather get a stable release even if it slips a little bit. Being in the USA I know I'll get it last anyway, so it isn't something I'm checking for every day anyway.
Dude chill a little man damn. Big deal, things get delayed, **** happens. And there is a rom posted in the rom section of this phone. How could you miss it when you post in almost every thread when anyone talks about rooting their phone. It's right here man,

It's not by "some hack in their basement" it's posted by OpenKirin which is a known development group. Sometimes you sound like you freaking work for Huawei and now you sound like you work for their competitors. Phones been out like two months or so and you're expecting to be flooded with updates and whatnot.

That ROM is a WIP with all 3 cameras broken and BT disabled. If you chose to flash that ROM and haven't made a stock back up then you're SOL.

Man.. I'm with you on the Moto G6 Plus!
It may cost $30.00 to $60.00 more.. But as we are now seeing here You Get What You Pay For.
I had a Moto G5 Plus screen was just too small for me but, Developer Support almost from day one was OFF THE HOOK! Great Camera's as well. And now with the styling catching up to the times... Oh Man! :good:
But have you seen the renders of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 ? Most Sexy Sub-$300.00 device on the planet..

I EXPECT NOT TO BE LIED TO... It may mean nothing to you.. because you are so Enamoured with this device.. and that's your call..
And, since you have hung on to my every word.. you should know.. This Is My Call on the 7x..
Other Honor devices have it.. The View 10 Launched with it.
This is the "Step-Child" phone in their lineup.. and now you are seeing it's true place in the pecking order..
Ask Yourself.. Does That Bother You? Being Last In Line Behind Close Doors.. But Being Touted As An Equal In Public.. OUCH!
And Yes! I'll Take A Job With Either!

Do u expect the Moto G6 Plus to get newer versions of Android faster? The Moto G5 Plus released with Nougat and has never recieved the Oreo update. The patches date back to October or November whereas the Honor 7X is recieving the Feb security patches on some units.
I don't really get why r people freaking out abt this. U paid $199 which is a great value, so what if an update got delayed by a month or 2. Samsung has done this, Motorola has done it too many times to even count.
Oreo 8.0 has a bad rep for being unstable which is making it hard for OEMs to roll the update out.
And finally u can't expect a company to give equal emphasis to a BUDGET phone and to a FLAGSHIP phone. Thats the reality. Pick up any samsumg mid Ranger and u'll find that the Honor 7X has recieved more updates, the same goes for anything from Motorola. The Honor View 10 is reported to cost around $400-$450 which is twice the cost of the Honor 7X.
There is the argument abt Dev support but I can guarantee atleast 90-95% ppl using Android don't care abt ROMs or rooting.
