Android 11 on Huawei P Smart (2018) - Huawei P Smart Questions & Answers

Hi guys, I was thinking about installing the Android 11 beta on my Huawei P Smart, because I want my phone Up To Date (without wasting money) and because I really love the stock Android experience. But, I came with 2 questions:
1-Because it's not an official update, what are the things that I should be aware of before doing it (like performance drop, bugs,...)? I'm talking about the stable version because I know that the beta will always have some kind of bugs.
2-When the Stable version is released, can I make an upgrade from the Beta to the Stable without having to wipe my data (like a regular and an official Huawei's system update)?

The Android 11 GSI will not boot, wait untill phh releases a phh 11 gsi

MIUI9 Beta is Stable and Fast.
For custom roms, try daniel.stuart's (AQSD Lineage 14) latest build which seems promising ( 25th Oct build is by far the best).
Lineage 15 from ChaubeyPrateek is with bugs but VOLTE does work with it.
Please tell about the bugs and comparision

Daniel's ROM is also having active development. He is also planning to bring Lineage 15 to the device. So I suggested his thread for stable builds.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-3s/development/rom-lineageos-14-1-t3673856
Lineage 15 with Volte try below but it is in alpha state,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-3s/development/rom-unofficial-lineageos-15-0-t3702580
MIUI9 -->
1. Stable (compared to AOSP roms)
2. Volte fully works with video calling.
3. Useful features like - Scrolling screenshot , dual apps , call recorder , free themes.
AOSP roms -->
1. Are having cleaner look ( this is based on your perspective but generally Google look is better than MIUI)
2. Lighter than MIUI so supposed to be faster (Antutu of AOSP rom and MIUI 9 is almost same but benchmark isn't everything)
3. Better Notification management. ( You can reply from notification bar)
4. Better memory management. ( more apps kept in memory , miui will kill tasks aggressively )
5. Latest security patch ( in simple words it will be more secure , it matters if you keep super secret data on phone).
If you do not mind the look and quick reply in notification shade, stay on MIUI9 and upgrade to weekly builds on next thursday (i.e. wait for few days after update in released on friday) This is to ensure that you do not have a build which is pulled away in few days due to major bugs.
I believe you know that the most stable experience is MIUI Global Stable rom which is v8.5.4 for now.
You are on MIUI9 beta so you are okay with few bugs.
AOSP main bugs -->
1. You have to pair your bluetooth headsets every time you do restart.
2. Volte is not super stable.
3. Video calling won't work/
4. Camera quality is lesser than what you get with MIUI.

Update from EMUI8 to EMUI9. Omnirom9 - VKY-L29

Hello fellows.
How can I update my VKY-L29, which is running Openkirin's EMUI 8-based Build OmniROM Pie Alpha 5.2, to EMUI9? So that I can update to OmniROM Beta 5 or so? HiSuite is not working.

Hi!
I would suggest booting in to recovery and running the recovery option to download to back to stock rom (This may or may not delete your data so always back up!). However first check from firmware finder if EMUI 9 roms have been released to your specific version so you're sure your model has EMUI 9 available now. If so once you're in the stock rom it should update you to EMUI 9 and you can continue flashing Openkirins EMUI 9 roms. Please be aware Openkirins suggested Magisk installation does not work on EMUI 9. However there is another way to flash magisk to EMUI 9 roms.
Thanks!

Where is Android 10?

MIUI 12 is coming, and I'm currently running on MIUI 11. But still no Android 10, whereas Xiaomi said Android 10 update was released with MIUI 11 at the same time. Is it normal?
I believe it was abandoned in favour of shipping Android 10 with MIUI 12 going forward.

You will get miui 12 don't worry its normal
Xiaomi doesn't keep promises, they've proven it in so many occasions. Still their hardware is great for the price.

OpenKirin - Still alive?

Hi,
Last year I installed OpenKirin Emui8 LineageOS 16.0 Build 6 on my HuaweiP10 lite which I use as a backup phone.
For what I use it it runs nicely, but the last update of OpenKirin dates back from October 2020. I would guess it would have missed already some Android security updates... but I see no new version appearing on the OpenKirin website.
Also, the support Telegram channel seems to be gone.
Hence my question: is OpenKirin abandoned?
And if so, what would be a good alternative ROM to install on my Huawei P10 Lite?
Thanks!

Downgrade J5 2017 from android 9 to android 8.1.0

Hello everyone, i was wondering if it's possible to downgrade my J5 2017 sm-j530f from android 9 with bootloader V6 to android 8.1.0 with bootloader V5 or if there's any workaround possible to do so and get Samsung experience back on it instead of one UI, on one UI made the phone feel slower and i wanna roll that back
You are limited by the bootloader version.
You can't go lower. Pie isn't suspectable to the worst class of partition worming rootkits like Xhelper.
Try doing a factory reset if you haven't after the upgrade. It should be optimized or it will run like a dog. Pie is my preferred OS on the N10+. Fast, very stable and security isn't an issue unless you do something stupid.
