Huawei P9 [ROM][Android 7.0][EMUI 5.0.1][European Firmware b398]*MagicRainbow* v4

[zgfg]

So let's see, how MRv5 for Oreo will be :laugh:

Besides the ubiquitous coffee machine and configurable robotic vacuum cleaner/lawn mower , what is really on your plate for MR v5:
- debloated AL10 b528 adapted for L09 and L19
- c432 like props
- VoLTE enabled
- rooted by Magisk
- usual Gapps (user plane, uninstallable for those who don't like)
- Kernel Adiutor (IMO, not much needed)

Maybe some other stuff, like Viper4Android or so?

Its similar as you said.
Magisk must be transformed afterwards. I can do it only with patched ramdisk.img and Magisk Manager apk (because TWRP cannot access data)
I don't make Rom which requires format data.
Because, if data is originally encrypted, it's also possible to flash Treble Rom over mine.
Debload is possible also without access to data.
Viper4Android is in testing phase - it's probably not ready for the first Oreo Rom.
All the other things you mentioned will be included.
And some more - That will be a surprise

Today I'm getting Invalid response in Magisk on Checking the SafetyNet.

Both with MR v4 (L09) and HWOTA7 Oreo (L19).

Last I remember I have updated BusyBox and Property Fix - but as far as I recall, it was green then (I always double-check)

On AL10 b528 Oreo, to debloat Huawei IME (Chinese keyboard) and HwSpeechService (Chinese text to speech), access to Data partition is needed, they come at: /data/hw_init/system/app - but you can leave them and just configure to use Google or AOSP keyboard and Pico text to speech instead

And btw, Oreo b528 already supports Treble, but not Seamless A/B updates

That's a normal issue, because Google changed the API: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77335200&postcount=6569

You can use this App to check safetynet:

Tnx. Root Checker 3.1.9 beta is also up to the new SafetyNet API

This is certainly great news:good::good:

A previous post says that one has to upgrade to Oreo through rebranding first before flashing MR 5, is that still the case?

Yes, of course. First steps are rebranding (like described in Rebranding Thread) and then update to Oreo.
For MRv5 you must be on Oreo - same as for Open Kirin AOSP based Roms.
I am working intensive at the moment on the Rom. That's why Thread for Rebranding isn't updated yet (with the easier steps based on newest Experiences)
I hope I can do soon.

MR v4 or rebranding to AL10 b528 / future MR v5 - yes, you can start from b399

Guys I just noticed strange thing. My fingerprint option disappeared! I don't know what actually happened but it's missing. Few days ago it wasn't working perfect but I thought it maybe a dirty fingers as I doing some renowation works at home but today it not working at all. All I did is new sim card but can this make this issue? I'll try to find and check old one but in a while. Anybody ever had this problem?

Edit: it's solved now

No, I will give the information soon it's ready. I am currently working on the Custom Rom for this first Oreo Firmware.

Hello Tecalote,

Long ago, I installed MagicRainbow v3. Everything is running smoothly but ...
3 days ago, I upgraded Magisk to 17.1
K-Settings are no longer working, can I upgrade to the version I got using the link in this thread ?
If yes, should I uninstall the app first (using SD Maid or Titanium) or can I overwrite the old one by installing the new one in recovery ?

I have also upgraded MR v4 to Magisk 17.1 and got a bootloop.
TG, I had a recent TWRP backup hence I fixed by restoring Boot and System partitions (to keep Magisk 16.1)
Btw, you can keep Magisk Manager 5.9.1 but not Magisk 17.x

If you are asking about rebranding and upgrading to Oreo AL10, you should better go back to stock by HWOTA method (post #2) and upgrade to the latest (b504 for P09, b399 for L19) and then follow
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rebrand-update-tool-hwota7-p9-eva-t3820849
- but @Tecalote is announcing new custom ROM for these days
