help trying to port PostmarketOS? - Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers

Hello, i have been trying to port PostmarketOS to my Huawei p9 lite, but since i'm a total noob i just kept getting stuck at error message after error message. I also tried to build and flash other available versions (P8 Lite and P20, which either just got stuck at "Your device is booting now...." or showing the "Please update again" screen) so i'm here to ask for someone to make a port.
Sorry if i'm posting in the wrong place and bad english/grammar.

Hello,
You are not the first to try this, unfortunately the tests did not go well. The result can be found on off. website.

Thanks for the reply, i know i'm not the first one to try this, i've also seen another recent post about pmOS for the huawei p9 lite here in this forum category, but maybe someday someone will make a port

Maybe, but I don't really believe it, because of sw/hw limitation.

They got it running even on a Huawei P8 Lite, which is pretty similar in specs (both sw/hw) so it's possible in my opinion.
The P8 Lite is very similar, just has a smaller resolution and an older CPU, the software is almost the same from what i've seen. (by software i mean fastboot/bios, i know bios isn't the right term but i have no idea what to call it)

Awesome. You did not understand anything and flashed something which alters your system heavily. :good:
Hopefully, you have made a backup of your device. You have messed up a lot of things. Restore your backup through recovery. This will uninstall Xposed.
There are problems with Xposed on Huawei devices. Huawei changes a lot of things in the Android Runtime (ART), thus making it difficult for Xposed to work correctly. So don't install it on your phone.
Read this thread for more information.
and I read it , but do not give a solution to work , take out when working version That paragraph ?

Xposed is dead on huawei, no fix for it.

For devs, EMUI 5?

Hi community!
We all want the Android 7 on our Huawei P8, although our hopes unfortunately are null.
Yesterday i googled for 1 hour and I founded a thread about the LineageOS aka CM14 on the P8 lite. Now I don't have now a P8 lite, and i don't know how to make port/custom roms, and my hope is to found some dev that can do a port.

guys here are working hard on CM13, but its so complicated and time consuming to port it to our CPU i wouldnt count on it in near future, not even LineageOS, damn Kirin proccessors, uncompatible with anything, besides, we have only very few devs able to make roms, and they are usually bussy so they can spend only a few hours per week on porting

But do they have a similiar cpu architecture? I mean, P8 and P8 lite have got similiar CPU, so i think that it can be easy.

from my understanting from comments in CM13 thread they are, at least a bit, helping each other (p8/p8 lite devs), in my opinion P8 lite owns much more users as it was much cheaper alternative, therefore more devs owns it so the works on building a port is faster, but thats all only my opinions and truth can be somewhere else.
In my opinion even though they are similar, the chipset of p8 lite is a kirin 620 while that of p8 is a hisilicon kirin 930 and for port rom they must have the same chipset I think like mtk devices.

Emui 5.0 update

Have you guys seen this post on their official FB page? I want to try it myself but I'm on lineage rn.
I can't see it's for p8 anywhere. What makes you think it will work?
oh man, i almost got heart attack, how did you find out its gonna be for P8? it was stated for serveral times that P8 hardware is not compatible with API of Android 7, why are people still looking for it? just accept the fact people! Cheers!
In thought it's just for skin EMUI and not the Android version. All is well though, thanks for clarifying ppl.

Stock Android ROM

Is there any chance anybody will do a stock Android ROM for the P10 Lite? I prefer it to the included version of Android.
I will soon publish service firmware Huawei P10 Lite WAS-***. If someone needs any particular version, write me in private messages.

LinageOS on Huawei P10 plus (VKY-L09)

Sorry for bothering with that topic again, but I'm more than confused on the information i found here and on the Internet.
So, I have a older P10 plus and it had needed to be replaced by a new phone because of some strange behavior that are reported by other users as well (Phone reboots for sudden when using camera and after reboot battery capacity dramatically decreased).
Because of that, and because i think this is a glitch in the Huawei EMUI i want to try LinageOS or any other Custom ROM on the phone.
First i recognize that i need to unlock the Bootloader, okay lets assume their is a solution for the bootloader problem, but now the confusion starts.
Firstly i didn't find any detailed installation guide for the installation of LinageOS, second some sides mentioned its possible (without any facts) some mentioned it's totally impossible to install any Custom ROM on that phone.
So, can anybody provide some updates on that topic and secondly, can come of you support me to install a Custom ROM on that phone ??
Help highly appriciated
Many thanks !!!
