EMUI 5 beta based on Android N For Honor 5C release date

According to official sources, the latest EMUI which is based on Android N named EMUI 5 will be released by the end of this December 2016 in India (for Nem-L22 variant). It will be released as a beta for limited users and after testing and bug fixes,the public release is expected to happen in January or February 2017. Already ,honor has released Emui 5 for Honor 8 ,which is the flagship smartphone of the brand. Next the expected devices to get updates to latest emui include Honor 7,Honor 5c and Honor 5x. The happy news is Honor 5c is next in the list and also They have also made clear that their older devices like Honor 6,6+,4c,4x will not recieve anymore upgrades to Emui 5 ,but will recieve normal security patches in the coming months.
Its worth waiting i believe. The new loaded emui is full of loaded features,worth waiting!:laugh::good::fingers-crossed:
Update: There is an intermediate release named B150 which is found on huawei servers. It is supposed to be the last in list of Android M. But still the date of Emui5 release is not yet confirmed and expected to happen in January.

I have honor 5c nem-l21 and în 5-6 month i not get even 1 single update/upgrade or security update.

If it is EMUI 5, the update number is expected to be in series of 300. So this update which you say might be VoLTE.

As far as I know , which I heard from honor devs , internal computability testings are going on with 5x and 5c . So far things with 5x are not going fine which stands less chances for 5x.. Still we can expect the release which is not guaranteed

Its still in doubt brother.. i have seen a leaked changelog out there by one of the guy in Honor beta group in facebook. After that i contacted one of the officials and he said there can be one update ,he himself is not sure. The thing is B140 is not at all a stable build with lots of issues and since its the last build in emui 4.1.x , they need a somewhat stable one. Usually honor adjusts the last build of every emui version with almost stable one,so that there is a smooth running even if someone downgrades.

It might be the next update after the B150. As of now I can't see any beta update for Honor 5C - EMUI 5. It might take time. Might be around Feb.

Emui 6 android o (what we need)

https://club.hihonor.com/in/update.249/emui-6-android-o--what-we-need.32543
Share this to make it possible

in my opinion emui 5 and android 7 is just fine. sure there would be nice to have equalizer, but 3rd party apps do that for me(poweramp). theme is pretty much fine but dark mode would be nice (could be added to developer options via OTA?). havent realized any bugs or battery draining on my L21. powersaving mode actually works (turns 10% slower atleast on antutu).
also this is what i found:
Here are the Huawei Devices which won’t receive Android Oreo 8.0 update
Huawei Honor 8 (Controversial)
Huawei Honor 5A
Huawei Honor 5c
Huawei Y3II
Huawei Y5II
Huawei Mate 8 (Controversial)
Huawei Y6
Huawei Honor 7
Huawei Y3( L02/03/L22/L23 U00)

Huawei Y5

Hope we get for as many devices as possible

I think p9 lite will get android O (since it is a new device and shipped with nougat).
However, only time can tell us

Anyone up for porting it across to 5c?

you cannot port emui, its complicated and its not open sources to build either..
and in case of emui6, os will be based on android o , and for porting android o, so to port an android o rom, first you need a stable android o base (any other stable android o rom built for your device)
so, if emui6 not coming officially, just forget about it and do not expect, so you cannot be disappointed, because unofficial ways are nearly impossible

I think the hardware is the same so it should be possible to just change one or two things and flash it.

It's about the software here, as EMUI isn't open source like MIUI

I think they'll backport some emui 8 features to a Emui 5.0.2 or so.
And I wish they don't, and release full source instead

Oh, another Honor 8 - Oreo topic! How helpfull !!!

Emui 8 is based off Android 8.0 yes. So this means we should be getting 8.0, otherwise it wouldn't be emui 8 it would still be emui 5 with emui 8 stuff ported over.

If it is only released in China we could always Flash the China firmware. "Rebrand"

Nope. It was previously stated by official sources that some EMUI8 features could be brought to Honor 8. Mentioning "some features" and omitting Oreo 8.0 doesn't require a PhD to get the right message.
You don't need the Oreo to get SOME features and the look of the skin. But certainty is only achieved at the release time.

Are you on something? Cus just cus they bring over emui 8 stuff doesn't mean it's emui 8. I was clearly stating that just cus they bring over emui 8 stuff doesn't make it emui 8 smh.

Honor said before that upgrade plans doesn't mean it's the same in a different country, basically everywhere in Europe, Honor is still in testing of the Honor 8 gets Oreo, Honor India said that they will get ported features, now here we see that the Honor 8 is in a list for getting Oreo 8. Where is the problem? If the Chinese one gets Oreo, fine, we can rebrand and get Oreo as well, also it makes development for a custom rom even easier which then should work for every device since everyone has the same specs (apart from the storage options 32 or 64gb).

Lol Sorry

They have stated that it's EMUI 8 only because they want the EMUI version to align with Android 8. I suspect we'll get EMUI 8 or most of it but we won't get Oreo.

EMUI 8 = Android 8, so if it says its 8 we will get Oreo, i dont think porting stuff to N is worth the additional work

They mean we wont get AI functions, thats the lack of system. Treble is still unknown.

IMHO, If so, I suppose it would be a backport, in a EMUI 5.0.x version, such as 5.1 features backported to 5.0.1 we got earlier.
It would be a bad move, I think no one cares, here, about emui, we only care about treble

Honor 8 is in fact getting the update!!

Ok, atleast some good news again. :good:
I can however say that this confusion still has made me convinced that I won't get another Honor device after this phone.

Huawei has confirmed the availability of EMUI 9.0 for its Huawei P10 and Mate 9 smartphone series. This means that users will still have to wait a couple of months before the update arrives, or possibly early.

No idea but seeing the huawei/honor updates I think EU most probably will get it.

Just to let you all know, seems like fut ota's are rolling out in Europe (couldn't join mine sadly, only 7 spots in total)
