Welcome to Team OpenKirin AOSP Project. Our goal is to provide
a overall stable AOSP experience across all Huawei/Honor phones
utilizing a Kirin SoC and EMUI 8.0 - either updated or shipped.
So far most of the bugs have been fixed and the ROMs are fully usable
as daily driver - and fully Kirin optimized.

This is the device support section for: Huawei Mate 9.
Any bugs found on this device(s) can be reported here, please include proper logs if you encounter any issues.

We support 3 ROMs in total as of now - LineageOS (Unofficial), ResurrectionRemix OS (Official from Beta 2+), OmniRom
You can find all needed guides/roms on our official website: https://openkirin.net

Thanks for this! I am running the CarbonROM Beta 2 from the partner builds (released July 17). I notice that there is now an official version that is also labeled as Beta 2, but was released five days later (July 22). Can I flash the official build without going back to full stock first? Also, the newer build is significantly smaller: 599MB versus 1.6 GB. Is that because the newer build doesn't include GAPPS?

Thanks again and sorry if I missed the answers to these questions.

As an aside, I'm really liking CarbonROM. Great battery life and very smooth.

the newer builds are xz compressed, you have to decompress them first.
If its the same rom (e.g. carbon -> carbon) you don't have to do a factory reset.

Thanks! And now I realize that I can't read and misread OmniROM for CarbonROM. Oops.

What's the difference between OpenKirin LOS and Phusson's LOS?

What's the difference between OpenKirin LOS and Phusson's LOS?

Phh LOS is a generic build meant for any device with treble support. The OpenKirin build is specifically targeted to Kirin devices.

Most of the changes are for dealing with the ways Huawei did things differently than everyone else. Also built in is the Huawei camera app, so (most of) the native camera functionality is available.

Thanks! I want to try OpenKirin LOS (OKLOS), but how will I be able to flash Magisk without TWRP? OpenKirin LOS says that it requires the stock EMUI recovery, so how can I flash Magisk?

Okay, so I clean flashed OpenKirin LOS Beta 5 on my MHA-L29. Fingerprint gestures are disabled/greyed-out despite the Mate 9 having a rear fingerprint sensor. Fingerprint gestures worked perfectly on Phh LOS, so I'm not sure why OKLOS isn't working on that end.

Another issue I found: On OKLOS, the Mate 9's secondary top speaker isn't working when playing media. To be fair, it didn't work on Phh LOS either, so I'm not sure if that's an issue you guys can fix.

Use 'fastboot' command.
-> extract stock boot image, patch it by magisk manager, flash patched boot image by fastboot.

Or you can install (patch boot image and replace it ) in magisk manager directly.

Thanks! Much appreciated!

After a few days of running on my Mate 9, OKLOS is running super smooth! Much smoother than Phh LOS. Hoping @OldDroid and the team can address a few of the bugs listed in my earlier post. Keep it up!

disable the navbar to turn on navigation gestures.
This will be adressed in the next los beta so you can toggle the nav gestures with navbar enabled.

EDIT: please have a look at our telegram group if you need any guidance regarding the installation of magisk without a custom recovery (e.g. twrp).

Flash new ROM & stock ramdisk (if you rooted with Magisk). Factory reset with stock recovery.

@OldDroid @irony_delerium This is something I'm also curious about. What is the average time between the 5 Betas for OKLOS? The changelog only shows the release date of the latest beta, not the previous versions.

hello,
is there any way how the bugs should be reported?
In LOS Beta 5 I discovered that if trying to enable Bluetooth trigger in a Profile, the Settings crash. My phone is Mate 9.

PS Otherwise, the only thing I can say is Hats off to the developers! When I received the phone as a replacement (for a broken Nexus 6p) I thought "oh, crap: no Snapdragon, no LOS". This really made my day!

Thanks.
Although I meant it mainly as a general questions where the bugs should be brought up. In this thread? Or in the Telegram channel referenced in the 1st post? Or...?

PS I found out that NFC is not working, but that seems to be a known issue.

errors in logcat (omnirom)

Hello,

I am trying out OmniROM and I have been getting less than stellar battery life (though still acceptable). I took a look at the MatLog app and noticed a bunch of errors that keep coming up. One of them is from BatteryExternalStatsWorker: "no controller energy info supplied for wifi".
I googled around a bit and it appears this has popped up on other ROMs and it seems to be related to a missing API. There are other errors as well, many of them thrown by HWComposer: "invalid layer type change".
I have no idea if these are impacting battery life, but an error is an error.
I attached a zip with logs from MatLog.

Thanks.

Dear MR.OldDroid

Is it possible for you to add UMS (USB mass storage function, connect pc and turn Micro SD card in photo to be a removable flash disk on PC) into the Kernel? I like this function, it is much better than MTP function.

Thank you very much.
