Project Treble on Mate 9 Pro - Huawei Mate 9 Pro Questions & Answers

Posts about Project Treble supported devices started to appear recently (even on XDA), but I only saw the Huawei Mate 9 discussed about. Does anybody know if the Pro model also supports Project Treble or not, as this could be the start of a wave of custom ROMs for us.

Its pretty much the same hardware, so i imagine there should not be much effort required to port a rom working on the regular mate 9 to the pro version. Hoping this treble business will lead to some decent AOSP builds for this device with time. Camera is identical as far as i can tell, which is good. The hardware keys on the pro version are not there on the regular mate 9, so that will have to be fixed, or you could just use the on screen navigation keys.
One of the reasons i didnt use Lineage or other AOSP roms with my Samsung S5 is the considerable degradation in camera performance on AOSP vs the stock camera app since AOSP lacks samsungs proper drivers. Hoping treble will rectifty this, but it remains to be seen how much of camera performance and software tricks they will be able to retain.

Biggest issue there is with our mate 9 is it's dual cameras. This makes custom roms for it rare, hard to produce. I'd be leery of any custom roms having the camera functionality of our stock rom.

The prop file in my Mate 9 Pro with firmware LON-L29 9.0.0.323(C636log) shows that Treble is enabled. See attached screenshot

Same result on LON-L29 8.0.0.323(C432log) Beta.

Just wondering if it would be possible to have an AOSP custom ROM with the Huawei stock camera.
I guess this would simplify things a lot.

MIUIs Plans

We Have Seen that as soon as MIUI 9 (N) was launched MI MAX... developers ported that ROM for our Kenzo....and we were able to Taste MIUI 9 with Nougat with all the features that MIUI provided with android N....
The sad part is we didn't recieve any official update for android N form Mi....And we will never get to Taste the official MIUI Nougat....
BUT****
I came across some post & there it say that MIUI is planning for Split screen and quick switch for the Mi phone which didn't recieve Nougat update.....but they won't update it to Nougat they are planning to give out this features on marshmallow...Mi has already rolled out almost all the features that were supposed to be on MIUI Nougat (the features which were showed in the presentation).
Reports say that split screen has has already rolled out(In January 2018) for China alfha testers and was expected to see the features in global developer ROM by APRIL 2018...But it still has no signs....
The Main Question That Stands Is...Will MIUI 9 Marshmallow be able to be smooth with those heavy duty features??
I have a 2GB RAM Kenzo....and MIUI 9 Marshmallow sucks the RAM like Hell I can't even run 4 apps without reloading it....but the Same Kenzo on Custom ROMs runs like a knife through a cake....
I personally have seen MIUI9 Marshmallow take upto 5-6 second to load home screen...which is disgusting....you can't expect this....
I have also tested the MIUI 9 Nougat....Epic MIUI 9 Nougat....MIUI PRO ROMs and all are not that responsive as AOSP based ROMs.....
There are a few Reasons for this
1)MIUI being a heavier Custom skin
2)Alot of bloated Google apps which can't be disabled directly (but is possible by third party shortcut marker apps)
The above stuff is all about MIUI9 Marshmallow by Mi itself....it still lags....Freezes the phone....
And now introducing 2 more features...SPLIT SCREEN & QUICK SWITCH....which are heavy duty features.....
Now I now that other phone which recieved the Nougat update are running good....but the case exists only for 3GB n up Ram's
Rather developing code based on SPLIT SCREEN & QUICK SWITCH for marshmallow roll out Nougat for Kenzo...what's more easy??
Yes now being a huge company they think in different way....40-50 % phone by Mi are running under Nougat which means rolling out Nougat for specific devices won't help them...but developing those features on Marshmallow will help as more n more wiser will get that feature based on Marshmallow as most of the phone so have Marshmallow.... Marketing Tactics
The main focus of MIUI should be to improve the performance and not to add bulky features which will eat Ram more....I know that MIUI9 is all focused on faster app opening...and being light....but did it really do that?? Kind off no....
Most of the Kenzo users have already moved to custom ROMs...as we find great stability faster app opening...more multi-tasking...the real power of Kenzo come out here....and no one is really that interested in using a OS that's 3 years old...here we are getting the latest OS 8.1 with good performance HDR+ camera hell lot of features....
Really I don't think bringing those 2 features to marshmallow ROM will help MIUI to get us back to MIUI anyways....all we wanted was to taste MIUI 9 Nougat and all the features that it had...and thanks for our lovely devs for porting ROM....and giving us such a great ROM..... though the development is slowly getting down.....
The only features that attracted me personally was FACE UNLOCK..but the way Ram management was...it didn't took a second to revert back to custom ROMs....and MIUI is planning this...
Giving SPLIT SCREEN & QUICK SWITCH on marshmallow.....rather unlock the bootloader of the the devices that has not received Nougat..and let them live their life in peace.....that's more easy then a developing ROMs...and creating a mess for your developers....let their super minds think on your upcoming UI and redesign stuff in that....
Yes it will be worth giving a try when this features come...but they won't be able to keep users over MIUI for long time because we all have already used this things and Marshmallow ??and MIUI9 suck anyways...
Comment down what do you think...

I have given up hopes of official MIUI for RN3 and ill say im more happy trying out all these powerful feature rich roms that some awesome ppl on this forum are making. Though MIUI looks fancy but the power of a stock rom is to another level. MI won't care much for older devices like ours and its better to give up miui.

Custom ROM with 3.18 kernel

First of all I would like to thank all the great devs that keep supporting this phone.
But I miss a really bugless ROM. ROMs with 3.18 kernel were almost perfect, but they aren't developed anymore. 4.9 kernel is great too, but it has some annoying (for me at least) limitations. Miui camera doesn't work properly and it's a pity because it's the only app (as far as I know) that can use both sensors at the same time. Nhappyman's camera module isn't working (no smooth videos and no long exposure).
Mtp and vibration aren't working in TWRP custom recovery.
Is there any developer that can build an updated ROM based on 3.18 kernel? I bought a Mi A1 for dual-camera setup and I would like to use his full potential with MIUI camera AND GCam. At the moment it's possible only on 3.18 kernel so I'm wondering if there is any "brave" Dev who wants to go that way. I think that many other users like me are waiting for that. Am I wrong?
You're right, I agree with you. Of course it is quite an achievement for the development of this device, and I actually enjoy the new kernel and it's securities advancements, but it is not stable compared to the officially supported 3.18. For example, I have a Quick charger but can't use it properly because it's not working on kernel 4.9, at least right know.
Not being ungrateful btw, I totally support the continuous development of 4.9, and I hope someday it will be just as stable as 3.18.

You can use LR v10.0.3 it's still based on 3.18 based kernel. Or go for Revenge OS, it's also 3.18 based
I'm not going to say anything about TWRP installer that was never supported officially by TeamWin or quick chargers that aren't even supported by our device, but I have a few things that I want to say specifically about MIUI Camera (and the reason why I'm always acting cocky when someone talks about it).
Supporting it was and always will be too much of a hassle for developers. It's not because "damn devs don't care about meme camera", but rather because whatever Xiaomi does for their camera features is very far from perfect, tends to break very often and also introduces random issues with third-party camera apps.
Recent switch to the open source camera HAL helped us to get a much more stable and reliable base (as well as fixing some very annoying issues we had before) but it also was the final nail in the coffin of MIUI Camera as it relies on undocumented proprietary features that we can't implement in any possible way.
I know that it can be hard for someone to cope with the lack of some well advertised marketing feature essential camera functionality, but we also have to go to concessions to make our support continuous and more future-proof.

Totally understandable, it's not rocket science to know that exclusive "features", which is closed source, is really hard (mostly impossible) to port to custom development. Many devices suffers from this, like the implementation on Moto display on Motorola phones, for example. I'm not a developer myself, but I know a thing or two with my experience as android enthusiast, and for development to work it means you're gonna let some "goodies" go in favor of it.
Thanks for your work btw!

Really? Nice, have been looking for an updated pie rom running 3.18
Now that Flex gave us the possibility to use miui camera on 4.9 kernel there's no need of 3.18 anymore (IMHO). To use MTP on TWRP we can boot it from PC and it will work.
Touch screen misbehaves with 4.x kernel
My mi a1 touch screen misbehaves with 4.9 kernel.
So i have to stick with the stock rom even i want to use a custom rom.
Am i the only person facing to this kind of problem?
Same problem here guys, anyone know how to fix this? :crying:

Me too, in fact my screen doesn't work at all with 4.9 kernel. It was a cheap replacement from aliexpress. I was hoping to find some updated ROMs with 3.18 but I will have to just stick to stock. It's a shame.

[POLL] BEST Rom you are using

Hi,
I just want to know, according to you what is the best Rom you experience on Redmi Note 7 ? (basing on user experience, number of bugs, features, battery drain, responsivity ...)
It is just a personnal opinion and does not reflect the quality of rom for which the developers do a very good job
Tried Pixel Experience, Bootloggers, and AOSP extended and from those three AoSP is the best so far, best battery life, performance and fewest bugs.
Xiaomi.eu the best imo
Global stock excellent for me
Enviado desde mi Redmi Note 7 mediante Tapatalk
I'm interested in MicroG/NoGApps [do not have the device (yet)]. Usually I prefer LOS, so if official LOS exists the MicroG builds from download.lineage.microg.org - because of hal1/3 issue on lavender official LOS does not look nearby. So best MicroG ROM options to avoid deodex services.jar seem to be [OFFICIAL][9.0]AospExtended v6.6 or Havoc-OS-2.6-[9.0]-[Official] or [9.0][OFFICIAL]crDroid v5.6[Lavender]?
Regarding Problems with video recording & WhatsApp video call and proximity sensor all those ROMs are the same?
Xiaomi.eu it's been a good ROM, can hit around 8~9 hours of SOT, I've readed sometimes up to 10hours
I wish you separated miui into 1.) stock and 2.) xiaomi eu.
which I can't try yet as I'm still waiting to have my bootloader unlocked.
Conclusion: Don't be a tester for underdeveloped ROM, stay safe and stable with stock ROM.

Are you serious? No one is holding a gun against your head and telling you to install roms. Those people spend hours and hours working so we can have multiple choices (not everyone likes miui) and they dont get a cent for their job. At least someone can do is install rom and give their feedback. These days roms are not making too much difference when it comes to overall performance cause phones have way better hardware and specs. But not so long ago when phones had 512mb of ram and you get them with fully bloated stock roms the only way of having a normal phone was to root and install a custom rom. So no need to trash talk if you dont like it dont use it. I personally havent tried single rom so far (tho i got my note 7 few weeks ago). I settled for xiaomi eu cause its stable with everything working and i dont have time to flash roms at the moment. But i will always be fan of pure android and OP if you like pure android and a bit smoother experience go for custom roms also battery will sure be better there. I heard evira kernel is good also you could try pixel experience (less customization) , aex or havoc for more customization.

Now AOSP is not really good as you expect. Its smooth but battery is not really better than stock and not all feature is working some hiccup occurs in 3rd party apps

Learn the difference between trash talk and stating facts.
You don't even use custom ROM.
Sure, I also want everybody else to use custom ROMs so they get developed more quickly?
I am surprised that lineageOs has not more vote on this topic. It was a very popular Rom on other devices but I think there is other good competitors on RN7. I will have a look on AospExtended some day as it seems very adopted.
I previously switched to custom rom 'cause I had some issues with MIUI. I don't know if it is always the case but MIUI work smooth with default launcher but when using alternative laucher (for example Nova), I had issues with notifications counter. It seems that MIUI kill apps severly in order to have a good battery life. For me, notification badges was killed also fitness app like Samsung Health or google fit. It was not the case with Mi Fit.
Even if I set the correct property in the app control, it seems that xiaomi apps always have always been managed better like if they have some heigher privilege.
I'm very happy in Stock Global MIUI 10 stable.
Rooted.
Evira Kernel.
FDE.AI Magisk Module.
Underclocked.
Debloated.
Happy about it.
I enjoy visual appearance very much and MIUI is just beautiful to my eyes.
To me:
- Xiaomi.eu is the best if you can't live without the MIUI stuff. It has almost all the best MIUI can offer, removes most privacy issues from stock, and adds more useful features.
- For custom ROMs:
+ I love AOSPExtended since it has just enough customizations to play with. I have it on my RN7 (lavender) and RN4X (mido) and it works perfectly on both. I love the way my 2 phones look and work almost the same.
+ ResurrectionRemix has a crazy amount of customization options. I used to have it on my RN4X. I've never had it on my RN7 but it's a very popular ROM out there.
+ LineageOS is great if you enjoy minimalism. I have it on my ancient phones to keep them light and clean.
You can try different ROMs to see which one fits your needs or you can stay on stock MIUI. You have the choice. Just pay respect to developers as they devote their time and effort to create and improve ROMs.
Cheers! :fingers-crossed:
Syberia.. Just because its battery life.
Agreed to the person before me, always respect the DEV.. Nowdays people tend to ask too much and have lil patience.
So far am going with miui eu global official.Have tried global worldwide official and chinese official and find the eu global the best.Also tried the eu custom rom revolution x aosp extended bootleggers havoc and pixel experience and found aosp extended to be least buggy for me.When it comes to sound and camera especially adding gcam the official miui eu is better but try the roms for yourself and decide.
Is there any noticeable difference between global version number and eu version number?? Or the 10.6.0 and 10.3.3 are the same thing with small differences??

The eu 10.3.3 is a custom rom based on the chinese rom with all the chinese apps debloated.I found it a bit buggy with apps like what's app.You also have the eeu global 10.5.0 which I find the best after trying worldwide global chinese miui and eu custom rom.Eeu global has less adds and is more debloated than worldwide global.Best to try them and decide which suits.
after trying many roms, stock eu is best...some apps not work on custom roms, so stock with evira pure 1.4 kernel is best ?

Disadvantages of Custom Rom?

Hi,
Just bought a K20. I can't stand MIUI. But going through this forum I realised that are are a few things which will break. (like no 48MP mode in Custom Rom)
So I wanted to know all the cons of Custom Rom vs MIUI.
-------
List:
No 48MP mode.
No MiUI camera
No Widewine L1 status.
Fingerprint is slow (not sure)
Less SOT (MIUI has various optimisations)
Any others?

If you can't stand MIUI then the cons are none.
I think by now GCam has 48mp fixed, FP is almost as good and so is SOT.
Ofcourse, But still I'd like to know what features I would lose.
Where did you get the 48MP Gcam?
Also. does MIUI camera works on Aosp/caf based roms?

You seem to be a experience user, probably you can clarify that for the OP and me. Some time ago I decided it's better to stay in the stock (stock based ROMs) side, talking about OS. In other way I love the stock experience (coming from OOS) but what about bsp thing. How does the Rom developers fix the layer of software containing hardware-specific drivers, to have fully working Rom. So we can have everything working as it should. THANKS in advance.

I'm not that experienced.
As xiaomi now release the Kernel source (even if some times a little out dated), custom ROMs actually build on top of it to keep maximum compatibility.
In the end, both are great (i'm on a moded MIUI my self) so it's all about the OS that feelt best for the user.
Granted, dev is still in it infancy on the Mi9t so many ROMS (even stock MIUI) are still with problems.

Does poco m3 will support custom rom in the future?

Im planning to buy this if theres a custom rom support, do you think guys it will have?

I don't see why it wouldn't. Xiaomi's snapdragon models seem to always have development since it's easy to unlock the bootloader. For development to thrive though, we have to wait till the kernel sources are released, which is about 2 months after release on average.

ok sir thank you
I hope so. Good thing is that it looks like the Redmi Note 9 4G and the Redmi Note 9 Power share the same specs, except they add a new Ultrawide camera.

Looks like you're right. They just released the kernel sources and the Redmi Note 9 4G and Poco M3 share the same code. https://github.com/MiCode/Xiaomi_Kernel_OpenSource/tree/lime-q-oss
Looks like twrp may come sooner than I thought
has anyone unlocked bootloader? I am waiting for some NewYear price falls.
Anyone thought of flashing GSI/treble AOSP images for pure android?

I had unlock the bootloader and installed EU rom with magisk... I will install AOSP in futur but now it's too early.
Just got the phone, definitely feels slower than it needs to be based on the specs. I am really hoping we see a custom recovery and ROMs soon to see this phone fly. I was checking and the X3 NFC got those 2 relatively quickly post release.

No miracles, no custom rom is going to make the phone fly.
For its price it is a very good phone.

I disagree with your assertion. Even Redmi note 5 pro from three years ago, performs very well without lag on AOSP ROMs. And we all know that SD 662 on the POCO M3 is faster and better than SD 636 on RN5 Pro. So i believe that POCO M3 will perform greatly on AOSP based ROMs.

The miui roms of that time were loaded with bloadware and not very optimized, so any "clean" rom made an appreciable difference in performance.
Today it is not like that, the current miui roms are quite clean and highly optimized (and can be easily cleaned of the bloadware they carry).
There is not much difference apart from the security issues with the other cleaner android roms.

Yeah, sure...
I have a Redmi Note 7, with the SD660, that phone runs much much much faster, even with slower memory. The Poco M3 can go faster.

Can you link me to some guide as to how to remove that Junk and stop/uninstall apps? This reviewer seems to think you cannot and maybe you could help him too!
You will find all in any of the Miui forum, even in Xda.
hello sir, I'm from future and now Poco m3 have many custom rom
