Yes, I'm running stock fine but would much rather prefer the AOSP Treble. :)
Mate, did you ever get any treble rom working on our V9? Desperate to switch over but don't want to brick it....not that we could get that far anyway. Please let me know mate(or anyone else out there if they managed to do it...)

For anyone else with Chinese Oreo I took the plunge last night with lineage 15.1 beta 4 from the awesome openkirin team. So simple to install as long as follow instructions precisely, and are already on Emui 8. Amazing work by olddroid and the openkirin team!

No NFC.
No VoLTE.
Stock camera works but restarts while switching modes
No stock gallery app hence no slow motion videos on stock camera .

some minor hickups here and there.
Rest everything is butter smooth.
As Kumar has said above. VoLTE will not be coming to this Room(any of the 3 openkirin ROMs) so don't ask for it on their telegram support page-its been asked enough and rebutted enough-for more info on that go to their page openkirin.net

One other issue I've personally had is that while Bluetooth audio works excellently on my car stereo, when I get calls, the audio doesn't transfer to it and I end up having to rely on the phones tinny speaker for some reason
Oh, re NFC I believe their Carbon room does have NFC working on it too, I'm using their lineage 15.1 though

Honor V9 (DUK-AL20) PLEASE :(

Hi. I tried to flash this in my Honor V9 but unfortunately I think it's not compatible. My unit bootlopped and I just recovered using Erecovery. Can you please recommend a custom rom for Honor V9? I'm pretty desperate to find a custom rom but unfortunately no one has ever made a custom rom for our device :( I want to get rid of Chinese apps and take more control on my device. Please please can someone help me? Your help will be much appreciated by me and other honor v9 users out there :good:

Hi there
As olddroid says, you have a choice of 3 awesome stable Treble ROMs for our V9. As long as you've unlocked bootloader already, you're ready to go. Instructions are easy and as long as you follow them precisely then you'll be right

Hello. I've been searching at google for 'honor v9 custom rom' and I never saw this page. I'm so glad I asked this to you guys. Super thank you I literally want to cry right now :'( Anyway if you don't mind I have another question as i think it's not clear on the website. Are all the devices listed compatible with all of the roms available? Again, thank you for the response because I think the developers of the V9 as I was starting to lose hope but I found you guys !!!! You're all so amazing :)

Hello,


A lot of thanks from me to you ! I was just so glad to see that there is an actual custom rom for the Honor V9. I was just worried to flash as the devices listed only refer to the honor V9 as 'also known'. That means that its compatible with Honor V9 too right? Sorry but I was a noob and I was a little bit confused and worried as I dont want to softbrick my phone again :laugh: Again, thank you so much.

Hi,

Again, thank you. I have done it. I installed the Lineage OS from openkirin. Superb.
Good on you mate! Just letting you know there's a new lineage beta coming out in next cpl days according to our esteemed leader ;) on telegram. Ive stuck with lineage too so far and it's been great though tempted to try RR and carbon. Apparently Omni will also be making an appearance too so lots of choice and NO annoying Chinese apps! It is Christmas in July after all ;)

Hi again,

It's a good news. Its good to know ☺ I just have a major concern with this custom roms. I switched and tried the ressurection remix rom. It offers more customization settings and it has a more stable stock camera app. But both custom roms make my device extremely hot on the back especially on the upper back side at the camera (a lot hotter) I didnt experience this back in stock rom. I was worried that this may cause accidents and shortening the lifespan of the device :( so Im thinking again to switch to the stock EMUI :( sad news again.

Really? I've not had that issue at all and I'm on a AL20 V9 too, running lineage admittedly not RR as was happy with this experience and didn't want to reinstall yet again. I wonder what's doing that to yours?! Have you asked in the telegram group to see if any others have experienced that as I'd expect others to have said something and haven't seen or heard anything on this

I only get high temps while charging and gaming. When gaming, its super hot it can literally cook an egg if you put it above the phone :D I dont know how to use telegram so I dunno. I'll monitor this for a week if improvements will arise. Thank you :)

Hmmm....mine gets fairly warm when charging but I don't use for much heavy gaming tbc so can't comment on that. Telegram link is on the openkirin web page. It's just an informal chat room that the devs I think prefer over XDA for whatever reason
