Cyanogenmod 13 for Huawei Mate 8

Hey, everyone.
I bought my Mate 8 about two weeks ago. After my personal HTC-Desaster over the last year, i couldn't be happier.
The only thing, that keeps me wondering, is this current OS...
Sooooo, i'm saying it out loud to start the discussion ...
Does anyone know, if and when cm13 for the Mate 8 will be released?

Don't be so much disappointed, if answer will be "never" ))

Huawei Mate 7, much older device, also Kirin cpu = doomed = zero custom roms.

Mate 8 will also remain without CM13 :crying:

I'm right there with you...
Maybe, they will change their mind? I mean so many producers first said, they would never share the code, and suddenly they did.

I guess this is the dividing line...
I'm usually the one recommending phones to people and this phone is a great one, however, if there is no potential to get any AOSP/CM based ROMs on this device, then it is doomed from my recommendation on a large scale.
We should start a petition to change this, but I don't know who will join and if we will be loud enough to get them to listen.
What is the main blocker in this? Source code, vendor blobs, proprietary something-er-other? Is the Kirin impossible to get working because of proprietary drivers? Sounds like we just need more higher level devs to crack this? Maybe we can start a bounty to buy a phone for a dev that has a track record of cracking this kind if issue? Just brainstorming.

I totally agree with you... This information is a huge game-changer. Kinda ruined my morning too... :crying:
Something needs to be done one way ot the other... petition, bounty. I personally am open to ANY solution.

This is the link to the Ascend Mate 7 thread where they discuss this exact same issue. Maybe we can get some of them on board or get on board with them to push HW!

Thx a lot. I just posted our discussion at their board, with an invitation to join us, if they wish. Since it's same problem, we are all facing, i thought it might help all of us to work together.

The processor huawei is using is cool fast battery friendly long lasting but at the same time unique.. So not much support.. I myself am ready to saxrify custom rom support for such a premium device[emoji14]

I agree. On my last phone, HTC One M8, I have used CM for maybe a week TOTAL in 21 months. I have also used Google Play Edition ROM for maybe 2 months. I did not mind Sense ROMs as the performance was best with these, and they had good features as well.

Damn..

Have used CM13 on Samsung S4. Rom: great. Camera: worse.
Have used CM13 on LG G3. Rom: great. Camera: worse.
Have used CM13 on LG G4. Rom: great. Camera: worse.
Camera drivers are also often propietary. So if (will probably never happen) CM13 becomes a possibility for the Mate 8 there is always that issue as well.
I'd rather run a custom stock Rom with proper camera than an AOSP one without. And the Mate 8 is fast enough to be a great device, when using another launcher like Nova or Apex for example.
As always: YMMV, of course

3rd party ROMs now support finger print sensor?

Hello. Back "in the day" all of the available OP2 roms that weren't Oxygen or Hydrogen (-based) didn't have working fingerprint sensors or laser focus or what not.
Has that changed now? When I look at the roms today, I don't see the "no fingerprint..." disclaimer.

LAF and FPS are working on CM13. If it doesn't say not working then they are working.
The FPS is a bit dodgy but I'd say it works 95% of the time.

Yeah and it gets even better! After oneplus release their OxygenOS 3.0 we will most likely get an OFFICIAL CM13.

What's the difference between the Unofficial CMs (that are in our Android Development forum) and the Official CM?

Try the Exocus rom 6.0.1 you won't regret it, just awesome.
That is all.

You mean except for the fact that there is no official CM13? ? Well there's Seraphs daily unofficial, but personally I'm running Graraks latest build as that one seems more stable.

So any chance Nexus 4 will get the Android Nougat?

Well, what do you guys think? Will we get Android N on our phones? Or could this be the end of the road for our Nexus 4.
Will android N be friendly to our ARM architecture compared to X64?
I guess time will tell but I wouldn't mind getting a bit more out of our beloved Nexus 4

would love to see it happen for sure

Agreed, I went with a fingerprint sensor phone (honor 5x), and quickly realized it is a gimmick. Back to nexus 4. I am still waiting on the true successor of Nexus 4. So I would like to see Nougat ported to our devices till an actual nexus devices comes around.

I (also) got a Nexus 5x at work for development because it's Nougat-primed.
Turns out I really dislike it and as a result will stick with my Nexus 4 for another year or two for personal use.
I use cyanogenmod 6.0/Marshmallow on it daily and really like that... had to upgrade to 6.0 to test against new apis. (This also made it easy to install tcpdump and other utilities at the linux level.)
For now, I don't see a new device in my immediate future.
Am hoping the Cyanogenmod install of Nougat will be as totally bulletproof as 6.0/Marshmallow has been. My view of Cyanogenmod is very high after using the install for six months.

Nexus 4 has got Sailfish OS, who needs android anymore?

can anyone follow this procedure:

That procedure was valid for marshmallow. It doesn't mean that a dev can simply re-use this plan for porting nougat to n4. :silly:

Good news. Just a minute ago beanstown (lead dev of PureNexus ROM) has started his manifest for Android 7.0: https://github.com/PureNexusProject/manifest/blob/n/default.xml
I guess that we could soon start compiling it for our mako as well. :fingers-crossed:

Just buy a replacement battery at ebay or aliexpress and watch a youtube video to change, it's very easy,

I was planning to replace the battery, but almost all comments on the internet say that the batteries are not good enough, and are low price clones, and after a month or two the battery is useless because it drains after few hours (2 or 3).
Do you have a trustful seller to share?

Does this mean the N4 will get it before Marlin/Sailfish? Hah. That would be jokes.

Nougat = more battery draining
Remember guys, N4 battery has a very low capacity.
If there is no port N for mako world will not end imo.

Not at the moment.. May be if the device gets popular

Ive ported MIUI in the past. I MIGHT do it again. problem being is I don't think MIUI is on Android N yet. I was actually thinking of porting it but right now is a no. Im about to switch jobs so everything is a tossup.

There's a beta of MIUI on 7.0, but hasn't been released. And even that, it's on an older, slower Qualcomm or MediaTek device. So we'd need to get a build from the Mi 5S Plus for us to be able to port.

When I did MIUI previously I do not believe I actually did it from another device(it was like 4-6 years ago so i don't really remember). It just needed the same OS version.

Miui on Oneplus 5?

Has anyone found an miui rom for our device? Is anyone planning to port it? (Bump the thread if you're interested so more devs will see it!)

IIRC Xiaomi published a marshmallow compatible patchrom, which won't work with N. You'll have to wait till they release a new one and that, unfortunately, won't be anytime soon (, I think).

sad that it wont come anytime soon :/

Some guy begin porting MiUi9 to OnePlus 5.
But it is in very early stage, there are many bugs in using system.

In addition, another guy is try to port MIUI 8 to OP5.
http://www.oneplusbbs.com/thread-3577967-1-1.html
He releases an incomplete rom, it works on my OnePlus 5.
However, there too many bugs in this rom.

Why aren't you guys considering a Xiaomi phone? I mean, they have some badass hardware if you'd want it, and you would get a MIUI experience that doesn't suck.

Can i ask what the big deal is about miui?

- Mi phones does not support 4G-network in Sweden.
- Mi phones have a high price in Sweden (Mi6 for example = $700)
- Mi phones have a really weird bootloader unlock process.
And go on. In Sweden does Xiaomi phones have higher prices than iPhones and Galaxys. That's why I use 1+ instead!
