EMUI - Honor 7X Questions & Answers

Does the emui add to the user experience or is it just another piece of bloatware?

Depends on personal preference.. anyway you can flash an AOSP once we get development but i like EMUI, Its snappy and theres not much bloatware.. adds to the user experience i guess..

I find it great, it has some nice features.
Although, I prefer AOSP aesthetically

We haven't received update yet in India. I heard many countries got it. Any news for update in EMUI 8.0?

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:
Community stuff

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.

Should I get Honor 8 Pro ?

Hi, I am planning on getting the Honor 8 pro by the end of this week.i came up with a few doubts. I am switching from Moto G4 plus to Honor 8 pro and the EMUI thing has got me concerned.
1. Is it by any chance as good as the near stock android like feel of Moto G4 plus?
2. Is there a way of getting stock android in it without bricking my phone?
3. I just received the June 2017 security patch for Moto G4+ and it got me wondering, how will I receive these updates if I somehow manage to get stock android on Honor 8 pro?
4. I can even work with near stock like ROMs , like oxygen OS or CynogenMods or anything similar, but then, how long will be my wait before I get my hands on Android O after it is released. Is the Honor developer community very active? Or should I stay with EMUI expecting office releases?
5. I am not planning to get another phone for next couple of years and I am tight on budget. Am I doing the right thing by going for his phone instead of say 1+5 or LG G6 ? Or should I wait a few more weeks/months to get another "flagship killer" to be launched?
I am not very familiar with rooting and stuff so if anyone could guide me towards some resources to read about these, it will be great. Preferably Honor phones related rooting.
Thankyou in advance

I would love to have OP5 but I am really really tight on budget, even 30K is stretching me too far from my budget. I just want to make sure that it's worth it. I am not a flasholic, I flash once in like 6 months, just to test out some other ROMS, just want to ensure that I won't have to dig the depths of the internet to get a compatible ROM.

if you get honor 8 for 18k it was the best deal around that budget
I rather enjoy having more functions then stock android. This is not Samsung or LG amount of bloatware or wierd functions, but rather small improvements. Still fast and lagg free and I have no doubt it still will be in a couple of years.
The screen, looks & build quality and battery life are stuff that really impress and makes this a "flagship phone /killer". Also quite future proof specs.

Just for everyone to know, I finally bought Honor 8 Pro, and so far I am very happy that I did. Thank you all for the replies.
I even dropped the phone once from a height of around 4 feets (Unintentionally ofcourse) and apart from having a little paint removed from the top, everything is fine. Guess the build quality is good enough.
I remember reading about having a software upgrade soon on 25-26th of this month. Anyone has any update on that ?

any reason for preferring stock Android? what do you expect from "stock" experience? smoothness? or an Android without any extra features? and why?
EMUI has got it's own pros & cons.. there are some really good things that Huawei has implemented into the OS. there are also some quirks that they've never gotten to fixing..
in terms of security patches.. Huawei and honor, sadly, can be a bit slow. maybe like once every 3-6 months once.
but personally, I'm not too worried coz in the end, if you practise safe use, not an issue. before I got my honor8Pro, I was using Note 2.. and well, what security patch? haha..
wait a little

Moto g5s and s+ are one the way ... so might as well wait for them, and few other noteworthy devices are getting released, there's been meizu with dual screen.... I use honor8 pro... it has all the premium features on surface.... but not mind blowing, good cam, better screen , thin profile, premium finish and attention to detail are few highlights, but expected a lot more from emui, no native equalizer though dts certified, knuckle knock for screenshots works at its own will, not many customized options in features, only reason I'd go for non stock Android phones ks their skin embedded features whereas on stock Android you'd need an app..
Another noteworthy omission is no photobackup on huwei cloud, and system state backup seems to be non existent as well...
Few more points to consider is how Future proof is your phone, because you'd expect some resale value right.. from 30000 the fall of price might be steeper, so consider it all and jump the boat, meanwhile if you do buy honor 8 pro do get back with your opinion about the device and any good things you've discovered about it... it'd be nice to compare

No more update

Do not by it.

I wouldn't be so harsh on Huawei. They did provide a means to unlock your device. Unfortunately there isn't much in the way of after-market development at the moment. I'd be willing to give it a try but don't really know where to start, however the investigation continues...
<rant>As a side-note, Oppo takes the award for the worst company. As a R7s owner I was surprised at the length they went to stop people developing for this device, and they didn't provide any updates either. If you want to advise anyone which company to avoid, I think Oppo is at the top of the list.</rant>
Yeah it's a real shame. They promised Marshmallow and cancelled it in the end without any information to us users...
Never gonna buy a Huawei again.

There is an Android 6.0 update since a half year. But this don't come over OTA, right? They have canceled this? I could flash it for 6 month. Since this time there come no newer security patches. Really bad by huawei.
The update has broken some things like the launcher. I have must for the person take the settings new. Maybe that was the reason for cancel. Just flashable, no OTA, so do you mean it, right?
For M2-801L (lte-version) we have used the B206. Looks that huawei's developer had gotten no much time for this device. So no official roll out possible. For P8 Lite they roll out every month security patches. Crazy for a cheap phone.

Samsung are no better.
I have lost count of the amount of Samsung devices that I have owned that have never had more than one or two very minor updates and then been abandoned by them.
My last tablet was the Galaxy TabPRO 8.4, it was released as part of their flagship range at the time, got 3 or 4 security patches then abandoned by them - only ever had 4.4.2 which was a real shame given its good spec and awesome 2560 x 1600 screen.
I dont care about updates
You shouldn't be so harsh on huawei, because updates are only important if you play on your device. I only use it as a media device, and not for games, and I think there will be sufficient apps for it in the next 3 years. It is also important, that no update is better than ****ty update. I just changed from my Nexus 7 to Huawei mediapad, because there was an update to lollipop. beforethe update everything was smooth,now the device is lagging so hard, I wish I were able to downgrade it.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7/help/nexus-7-unusabable-5-1-t3110720
@Boris An sorry to correct you. But with all those newly found security breaches on the SoC level "no update" is unacceptable. I bought it because Huawei stated that they will update the M2 at least to Marshmallow. That's just ridiculous and causes an enormous fragmentation. I'm so glad that Treble has to be active and implemented on all devices delivered with an Android 8 since this year. Won't buy any device running Android 7 or lower any longer, just to show those OEM that it's time for a change. And Huawei is just dead for me. Never again. Such a bad service...
Treble can realise a better update policy across different OEMs and bring Android nearer to the best practice update policy of Apple, assuring more devices to be other latest Android version and security-patch level.

6.0 on 801l available, but security patch just from end 2016. Very bad and there is no newer version like B206?
Will post the name, something like B010 was pushed today as a new security patch.Something like 58Mb, with device improvements and security updates.Didnt install it yet.I have the 16gb wifi version of the 10.1 inch M2.Gladly the still update it, now hoping we will ever get a newer emui.Nice tab, very nice but cant share it with my partner for example due to emui 3.1..Happy anyway!
For the M2 801l it's B208 out with march security patch and EMUI 4.0.3. Better than nothing.
Got this update last week-end:
OTA-M2-A01WV100R001C100B008_B010
This improves system stability and security, along with the newest security patches from Google.
i received the "com.huawei.android.hwouc.17784.apk" through the Yalp store, not google playstore...Is it safe to install it and try update?

Oreo in December

I read today that Huawei plans the roll out of Oreo for the Porsche Design in December. In case of any bugs, it might be January.

I read today that Huawei plans the roll out of Oreo for the Porsche Design in December. In case of any bugs, it might be January.

Can you share where you found this info?
It's good to know that we're not being forgotten.
I read it here: https://androidworld.nl/nieuws/huawei-mate-9-android-oreo-december/
I've just seen on funky Huawei that they've got the beta build of Oreo!
Has anyone had the official Oreo update?
Apparently it's being shared in Chinese versions but I thought the PD version was one and the same?
Nothing yet
Just bit the bullet and upgraded to Oreo using Funky Huawei and it's really good!
Smoother and it seems a little faster!
Now hopefully it can connect to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously!!
I can't see any reference to the projection feature as yet but the phone seems a lot more stable.
Barclays and Barclaycard apps still saying the phone is rooted but all my other banking apps, including android pay work fine.
The Oreo update is visible in Firmware Finder, but it's not yet approved for my phone.

Will there Be a Real Android 11 Update for Mate 20 X?

Hi guys,

From what I read the next major update will be Harmony OS. And not clear if that is built on Android 11 or not, or if it will be offered for the 20X or not.
nope, not gonna happen. the issue is that Huawei as a whole so far is not planning to update ANY of its phones to android 11 due to them being cut off from the inner dev circle of android. they only have access to AOSP sources now, just like the rest of us regulars. there are literally no huawei phones with android 11 on the market, absolutely none.
one more time for ppl who do not seem to understand this: EMUI 11 is based on Android 10.
EMUI 11 is NOT Android 11. EMUI and Android are two different things!
btw, HarmonyOS is just Android 10 with a skin on top, just like EMUI...

with all that being said, i do agree that EMUI 11 as a whole is a nice step forward from EMUI 10. system snappiness and functionality just feels more rounded and better than before!
oh and btw OP, ive answered this question several times before @emui 11 is based on Android 10. but yeah, "just trolling", right? welcome to reality, took u long enough

Hi,
Appreciate the link but I'm confused. Emui 11 has already been rolled out. So what does your link mean?

Hi,
So youre saying no huaweis will ever be updated to andriod 11. Maybe there could be a change in the future who knows.
But honestly emui 11 is a very good update. It fixed noticeable bugs which shouldnt have existed in previous iterations before 11 which says little about huawei as a company that keeps up with fixes. Its late to the party as usual.
As to your trolling in the past the mods deleted your content for violating rules. Dont blame anyone but yourself. Time to grow up.
.
hmmm, right.

just as before i was providing information on our device and its software / capabilities, which ive backed up with screenshots.
i.e.: - EMUI 11 is still based on Android 10
- EMUI 11 fixes lots of bugs and improves upon system snappiness vs. EMUI 10
- Huawei updates come first to chinese models like my EVR-AL00, global models like the L29 come much later (btw, there is no "Singapore made" Huawei phones, they just use global variants here )
- AOD is not necessary to vastly improve SOT on Mate 20 X, you just have to know how to properly tweak your system. if you don't, then naturally you battery life will be much worse.
before you did not want to believe me, now "suddenly" you come to the same conclusions. you are right, time to grow up, please heed your own advice and stop reporting people trying to help out only trolls do such things.
feel free to go back to my previous posts and read up on all the others things uve missed while denouncing and ignoring me. you might learn something interesting!
cheers

Sorry about that I got confused too, I thought Emui 11=Android 11 but it's Android 10.
Someone did give you a proper answer tho as I see:

Surrrrre..
Your screen shots did not provide accurate info as 2 people including myself had clearly proven.
The emui 11 I call '10 clone' has become my fav updated "version" especially when it serves up noticeable speed with apps not to mention improvements upon the task manager which was a total disaster under 10.
AOD has been shown to save battery more so then when youre constantly checking your phone for notifications.
If this phone will be update to HarmonyOS it will have always google services like before?
