Waiting for source
I'm sure they will once the device is released on western markets.
If the bootloader remains locked, having kernel source is no use other than research purposes either.

That is actually the KERNEL source code, i.e. *linux*. This code contains the alterations required to the *official* linux kernel (www.kernel.org) that HTC has made specific to their hardware. Providing this information is their LEGAL OBLIGATION based on the licensing terms of the linux kernel.
And that site and what it contains is nothing new aside from adding in the "hero" now that it is shipping.
Hello Folk,
i am Going to build custom roms for le 2 (x526) . But as of core requirement to build any custom rom , first i need 3 source codes which are
1)Kernel Sources (I have that)
2)Device tree sources (Hoping for someone to build this)
3)Vendor Tree sources (Again, we dont have that too)
So if you are serious about custom roms them support me and Ask for any experienced developer to Get these two Tree sources .

This mobile contains snapdragon 652, which is rare currently in devices. So i don't think anyone has bring up device tree for this device. I am looking to purchase this device and then do some stuff for it, let's see if i bought it.
This might be helpful https://youtu.be/Uw_caMHZRC4
Sorry for my excitement.But i am quiet depressed that more than 2 to 3 months have been passed but their is no nougat ROM for our device.
If someone has idea whether the making is under processing or yet to be start.please let me know.
Thanx.
i guess kernal source is released by xiaomi, very soon we should be able to see some developments on nougat roms for our devices.
At least a month, I think.
Only when you see msm8937 nougat caf kernel source here -> Android releases (QAEP.release) - XWiki

Thanx for the nice info.I'll keep checking it regularly.
Huawei is extremely reluctant to publish the Linux 4.x kernel source code they are using on Mate9, although it is a blatant violation of the General Public License (GPL).
Meanwhile one can buy a (overpriced) HiKey960 development board https://www.amazon.de/ALLNET-LeMaker-4xARM-Cortex-LEMAKER-HIKEY960/dp/B071429D9W , which is a heavily stripped down version of Mate9: no LCD+touchscreen, no modem, no GPS, no accelerometer/gyroscope/compass, less RAM, etc.
Linaro/Huawei are providing the full 4.4 (and 4.9) kernel source code together with the
Debian image and AOSP, and full schematics for this board: https://github.com/96boards-hikey/tools-images-hikey960/blob/master/README-technical.md
I think we should make a side-by-side comparison of HiKey960 and Mate9 hardware and (closed source) firmware. Feel free to post your findings here, because it seems to be our only real chance to have a properly running LineageOS on Mate9 in a timeslot before this device will become obsolete.
Hi,
So I have a VNS-L31 bought in France (Europe), not locked to a specific vendor for updates.
Actually I use LineageOS 14.1 self-built using a 3.10.x kernel (using Meticulus development files that I had to fork - like he removed his vendor repo and his latest commit in device repo is not buildable; see my Github repo and I don't give any rom or support for now).
I asked Huawei to get the kernel sources for the stock rom and I'd like to get the 4.x branch. The problem is they asked me a build number, but I flashed from Android 6 which uses 3.x, so I have no idea for what is this build number. I don't know what is the right build for EMUI 5 / Android 7 I could get/use. On the URL= http consumer huawei com /fr/support/mobile-phones/p9_lite_fr-sup htm ] official website [ /URL (in French) they do not offer a download option for this build (only Android 6 and a rollback package). And maybe this isn't even built using the 4.x branch?
And I don't know if I would get the same sources as in URL= https github com /OpenKirin/android_kernel_huawei_hi3650 ]this repo[ /URL.
Also, I'd like to know more of what's going on rom development for Android 7 (or 8). There do not seem that another LineageOS 14 port is going on, OpenKirin has only a recovery released as far as I know. Also, one or two other phones seem to use the same kernel, that are not other names for the P9 Lite, like the Honor 6X?
PS: I don't have any skill in rom porting, I sent a few emails to people that worked on this device, and I saw I'm really lacking of knowledge. Also, it would be one of my many side-projects.
Thanks for your help.
