Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean in charge of operations. Due to its incredibly slim profile and older generation quad-core processor, it was plagued with over-heating issues. We are not sure if those were resolved by Huawei, but if not, now is a good time for the company to make some optimizations and improvements.
The Huawei Ascend P6 was just officially confirmed to get the Android 4.4 KitKat treatment. The Chinese have taken it to Baidu to announce that the super slim smartphone will be getting the latest major Android release in January. Alongside it will come the new version of the company's proprietary Emotion UI.
Huawei is among the first to announce its KitKat upgrade plans, but is surely not the only one to skip Android 4.3 and move straight to the new KitKat version.
Android 4.4 KitKat was announced on the last day of October. It brings Project Svelte UI optimizations, bigger UI icons, removes the widgets from the app drawer, new Hangouts SMS/MMS/Gtalks unified hub, new Email app, new Phone app with nearby search and more. It even lowers the hardware requirements for the Android OS.
And the Ascend P6 owners will be able to enjoy all of these new features in just two months. http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_ascend_p6_gets_android_44_kitkat_in_january-news-7195.php
all i hope ... they allow us to put widgets in lockscreen :crying:

Don't know if gizmochina is a reliable source of information.. but i'm sure about another thing.
At the moment, KK roms, compared to JB (B125), aren't good: bad performance, laggy, some bugs.. (for example.. i hate that 3G icon stucked in the status bar when mobile data are switched off)
I don't understand Huawei.. they release a lot of beta, new UI, new os. Is to so hard to make only ONE well optimized update?
Hi and thank you for (hope good) news :highfive:

sadly that isnt what the community wants..
when Huawei started to improve the old firmware, everybody was going crazy because they don"t release the KitKat software.
So they brought out the KitKat software and everyone was going crazy that the software was not optimized.. so Huawei will start to improve this software too..
and i bet most of the people will blame Huawei for not giving the new Android L for the P6 but giving new updates on Kitkat which will improve the system.... but that are only my 2 cents about the community...

This is true. According to Huawei, the P6/P6S will get the update in November. I don't have a link to the Chinese Huawei forum, but that was where I saw this info first.

I also asked the chinese people in the comments, one of them answered that its true that the p6 will get EMUI 3.0 in November. So nothing lost in translation.
November could be a beta release, and the beta firmware being incompletely packed. So 1 month of beta test, and then another month of waiting for offical release, which means the stable complete version would be released on January.

"EMUI 3.0 available for download from the end of September
In August we had already Huawei 3.0 new version of its user interface EmotionUI reported. This was then officially launched and announced that the EmotionUI version 3.0 only EMUI says on the IFA2014 in Berlin Huawei. The first devices with EMUI 3.0 there also the new high-end and mid-range flagship Ascend Ascend Mate 7 and G7 was introduced.
Now there is good news for many other instruments from Huawei. In addition to the Mate 7 and the G7 will be EMUI 3.0 updates for the following smartphones.
Huawei Honor 6
Huawei Ascend P7
Huawei Ascend P6
Huawei Ascend Mate 2
Huawei Honor 3X
Huawei Ascend G750
Beginning September 30, updates for the Honor 6 and the Ascend P7 should be available. A little later because new firmwares with EMUI 3.0 should follow the other devices mentioned above. The updates will be initially distributed in China. Whether the international updates are simultaneously available, we could not bring in experience. But we'll keep you up to date."

I'm a bit confused where Huawei is going with this phone.
We still don't have a fully functional, bug free or optimised EMUI 2.0/2.3 - Android 4.4.x Rom, yet they're moving ahead with EMUI 3.0?
For many people, including myself, EMUI 1.6 + JB 4.2.2 is still the fastest, most stable, and most battery friendly Rom we have.

Could be because they were not happy with Emui2.3 and therefore no longer wanted to improve on it and instead jump straight to 3.0. The Chinese P6 users never had a Emui2.3 released and so they had Emui3.0 in plans back at the time when Emui2.3 was released for international users.

the best point for me is that ALL other huawei roms , i was not able to connect to Enterprise wifi , This one works ! so even if it wasnt this good i would have used it.
I'm looking to buy new phone, now I have Redmi note 4 global edition, but I want smaller size phone. Headphone jack is not important for me.
I can get Xiaomi for about 436 $ and Huawei p10 for 500 $
I don't know what to buy.
check gsmarena for comparison hardware-wise. but i would get the p10 since they are nicer with kernel sources and its a better looking phone imo. i have the mi6 now...
consider the complain between these 2, P10 is better.
Ps. i have Mi6 , not so bad but not feel like top phone
Did anyone of you used P10 ? I'm little scared only for battery life, because miui is nicely optimised for battery consumption.

Huawei recently released their source for kernel.
So roms should be on their way!
https://www.xda-developers.com/kernel-sources-released-for-the-huawei-mate-9-and-huawei-p10/
While we havent heard anything from Xiaomi and it has been about 6months since the release of the mi 6
Huawei released the kernel sources 4 months ago, still not an single aosp/linage rom...
Way better on the Mi6 even without the kernel sources.
Looking back at the time frame of previous kernel sources drops: we should expect an release in October.

+1
all depends on the dev support, just look at honor 8 and 9.
Mi6 is better. I had P9 and huawei release kernel sources and what? One dev make lineage os which works worser than the worst custom rom on mi5. But EMUI is ok, like miui.
Had P10,overheating,bad battery life due to old CPU as well as GPU performance & throttling make Mi6 a clear winner here. Also there was no oleophobic coating and u risk getting a model with anciennt memory speeds(it's a lottery,i ended up with slow one).

Still, kirin phones don't have much dev love and popularity around developers as Snapdragon does. Xiaomi mi 6 will have by far better and more roms than any huawei phone.
The Honor 9 might be another option, since it's slightly cheaper than the P10, depending on where you are.
I have the Mi6 and love it. It's the best phone I've owned. It has the fastest SD processor, a great display, great sound, a great camera, fast charging, and a notification LED.
Since I was curious, I recently purchased a OnePlus 5. Even using the Google camera app, the OP5's photos weren't as good as the Mi6's. The Mi6's colours were far more natural and true to life, especially the skin tones and colours on trees. The OP5 felt huge, too.
The Honor 9 (and probably the P10) seems very similar to the Mi6, but it seems slightly inferior in every category. If you compare GSM Arena's reviews, the Honor's processor is slightly slower, battery charging takes longer, the battery is smaller, there's less RAM in the cheapest variant, there's no Gorilla Glass and the 1080P videos are inferior. MIUI seems to receive more updates than EMUI, too.
Yeah MIUI got more updates. Just one problem i have with MIUI, expandable notifications on lockscreen and in list, you can do it with two fingers but that's. Hope they will implement that in the future updates.

But nothing beats the Mi 6 with battery. Nothing.

After trying some custom roms I came to the point that emui is better in ram management,battery efficiency, features.Im getting 2.2gb of free ram when not using any app,in redmi note 4 ram usage is so high that 1.8gb only remains available in 4gb variant and in stock android rom like lineage os im getting 1.6 gb free only therefore no point of using custom rom in my honor 6x, battery drain is also high in custom roms

Well, yes at this point the stock software, that's actually been created by paid developers who are working for a multimillion-company is better than the custom ROMs that the talented developers of this community are building. Have a bit more patience and try to encourage them. Stock Android is less bloated and often way smoother and efficient once it is in a non-alpha state of development:good:

Xiaomi flagship vs Honor flagship.
Dear Xda guys.
Of all phones i have used(xperia ion,honor 6,moto x,Oneplus3 and now LG G6), i still feel the os Emui is way more polished than others and also snappy.
Now for this post is i am going to sell G6 (just months old but not satisfied) and going to take either Honor flagship phone or Mi flagship phone that is Honor 10 vs Mi7.
I know it's lot earlier to guess and decide but please share your views about premium in hand feel experience, the display quality, the OS smoothness and stability, The Audio quality. Camera i don't use much.
Honor 9 vs Mi 6 will do. Not much comparison out there in web

But there is no much difference in EMUI 8 in terms of UI part. Feature wise, there could be few addition but UI wise, it will look almost the same as that of EMUI 5.
MIUI rocks EMUI sucks
It's simple, there is no better Rom than MIUI. From battery, less bloatware, speed and features perspective! It has also better and larger community base in comparison to any other UI. Huawei is only trying to make its bad clone (even name sounds similar). I had Samsung, Huawei, Asus and Xiaomi in my hands and MIUI is far best from them. Of course if you own Honor you will always say it's best (even though you know it's not).

Well technically speaking, HONOR is Huawei's Sub-Brand aimed at millennials. It's quite a large spectrum of devices though even as its own brand.
It uses EMUI, it has its own dedicated processor, its also going to be more Different with EMUI 8. it's pretty good. MIUI is too cartoony and... Simple?

Almost all custom Roms are not even updated since last year. The custom Rom or Android development for Honor 8 Pro is totally off? Why is that?
Even after oreo release, feels like no one interested.
update: Honor released kernel source for honor 8 pro
https://www.xda-developers.com/honor-8-pro-honor-9-android-oreo-kernel-source/
personally, i feel that this is due to the fact that:
* many are happy for stock ROM
* stock ROM has got a lot of features and options for all sorts of ppl
* in terms of optmisation and efficiency, modern day version of Android don't really drain that much.
* battery tech has improved and we see phones packing bigger battery. so, ppl no longer than concerned abt battery life
* limited user-base -- so ROM developers are better off spending their time on phones with larger user-base, thus getting better feedback and attention

You are right, Thanks.
Just After honor ditch us, no chance of Getting future android experience ?
Honor left honor 8 pro.
Honor is fully focused on AI based honor view 10, the selected developer were given free honor view 10 handsets for its support and development of rom's in future. Honor has ditched the honor 8 pro.
The developers started working on honor view 10 and developed treble lineage os 15.1 rom based on Oreo 8.1 for kirin 970 devices.
Even the magisk and substrantum support is given for honor view 10.
I think this is my last honor device ??.

personally, i dun expect much since honor 8 Pro is a one year old device (using China's V9 as the actual launch). honor already launched a replacement device and if they actually continue to promote older device, then there's something not right with their strategy. so, it's only right that they get support for newer device instead, which is the View 10.
and the Q is... do i need custom rom? nope. i dun think i need it. and do i think it's needed for even View 10? nope... dun think it's needed.
many reasons why i dun think custom rom needed is in my first reply above.

I heard yesterday, Honor had removed Kernal sources for Honor 8 pro(or V9)[after its launched] that's a big problem also for custom roms.
Even in their own website the stock firmware is not available, no even it's name.
Stock rom might ne good, but Many people seeks for Future taste of Android. Honor already ditch us, The only way we could have taste Android p or Android Q using custom roms and now that also not possible.
Where as they are making sure Honor view 10 get erd party development supports.

i bought the honor 8 Pro because it is a good phone. great specs at affordable price. i din get it so i could get the latest version of Android. to me, so long as it works and it's patched (and while it's inconsistent but the updates have been coming from Honor), i'm fine with it.
and based on the above, honor 8 Pro is still a good phone. i don't really care about the latest Android version. what is more important is that i'm using the smartphone for what it can do -- connecting me. and it's doing a great job at that.

U r right, It will still be a very good phone with good specs nod doubt.
Everyone has their own view.
Some people's like custom development.
And Huawei doing open source for view 10 and removing 8pro(v9)'s kernal sources is really disappointing.
When honor8pro was launched, Huawei/Honor out up a show like this is device is going to get all the required attention and care. Instead they struggled with patches itself. Not even updates, fhey couldn't make working patches.
They looked for market and found one. That's it. US market is unreachable at least for an year or two, so a new strategy is to push as many devices as they can in current markets while lobbying for US market.
Honor tried or picturized a Xiaomi like strategy but went Samsung ish. Hardware wise 8pro is matchless in its tier but then there isn't much you can boast about it on realtime usage. They nerfed battery when some issues started its that bad.
It's a compromise device that has been further compromised. I feel honor is a sinking ship. They're severely dependent on marketing than letting phones prove themselves. They have paid Android authority and even Xda well to keep featuring posts or reviews about their phones. So that neo nerds or spec hungry guys can devour these devices and guys like these are usually the ones that are looked up or called up by less nerdy or less tech literates for their next best phone.
Such fake image doesn't hold long and easily shatters. Just like one plus which promised big things and promised support and longevity unlike google... and then just ditched all that, Honor too promised devices with better specs and better support but well... at this rate honor 10view will bite the dust soon as well, or if things keep going bad for honor/Huawei they might loop back.
Only time will tell. But for now it sure is bleak for Honor8pro. There isn't a way to jump to custom roms either. So when **** hits the cieling this phone will be a glorified remote control.
In Nutshell, most of us in india got this device with buyback from flipkart, 1st week march that awaited period start. Time to switch back to some soft-support team with decent hardware, ASAP. My bid is back to moto. whats others planning ?

I didn't took buyback guarantee ?:crying:
Honor 8 pro is the most neglected so called "Flagship killer" of 2017/18.
Shortly after the release of 8 pro, they had taken down all official firmware sources.
View 10 is view 10 all over the globe. 8 pro is just a 128 GB variant of V9. So it has been completely neglected.
When Honor was questioned as to why firmware sources were removed, they gave a dumb reply saying it was HQ decision and they have least control over it.
This is like being in Apple ecosystem. Very sad to see such a potential device being neglected completely.
Honor has suddenly started focusing on lower budget segment in India after 8 pro's launch. Devices like 9 lite are starting to see updates for Face Unlock and yester year Flagship 8 pro is still with buggy Oreo update which they cannot fix.

Honor is a dumb ass!! ?
Go to honor view 10 thread and flash RR OS. Works flawlessly on honor 8 pro. Just some glitches here and there. What custom ROM support do you guys want more?

lol. why port an already working ROM. it works like a charm with only few issues:
1. some animations are choppy(doesn't concern me much)
2. no volte(i don't need it)
3. no stock camera(will be added soon)
4. minor graphical glitches. (doesn't affect the overall interface)

VOLTE is a big concern for me. Atleast in India.
Ok, lets not call it port----, fixing those glitches.
And jst turn of animation scale?, no problem of transitions.
