Team OpenKirin opens website to support all EMUI 8 Huawei/Honor devices
Team OpenKirin aims to make the pure AOSP experience available for all supported Huawei and Honor devices running EMUI 8.
Huawei and their subsidiary Honor ship their smartphones and tablets with their EMUI software. It's a heavily modified version of the stock Android framework that offers a lot of features not found in AOSP. Some people prefer all of the added features while the stock Android purists would much rather have stock Android running on top of Huawei/Honor hardware. If that describes you, then you may want to check out the work done by the OpenKirin team. They recently released unofficial LineageOS, CarbonROM, and Resurrection Remix builds for all EMUI 8 devices.
