Enjoy the Latest Android Oreo-Based AOSP ROM on Honor 8 Pro

There have been a couple of AOSP custom ROMs for Honor 8 Pro before based on Android Nougat. Everyone complained though about the camera quality, since the camera software couldn’t take advantage of the dual camera setup. Things weren’t any better when Android Oreo-based AOSP ROM came about, but the latest update brought the stock Huawei camera app, so this sounds like a fresh start for the device. So, what do you say about grabbing the latest Android 8.0 Oreo-Based AOSP ROM on Honor 8 Pro?

AOSP is always considered as one of the best custom ROMs on the planet because AOSP refers to Android-Open-Source-Project and of course, many of you know what is AOSP and everything about it. Google announced Project Treble last year in an effort to change the way device makers update their smartphones.

Treble was the one reason behind the fast development of this Oreo-Based AOSP ROM. I think many of the users didn’t expect that it will come out this soon. Now, XDA Recognized Developer OldDroid has released OpenKirin’s AOSP Android Oreo for the Honor 8 Pro too. OpenKirin is a well-known team of ROM developers for Huawei/Honor devices, and what’s notable about this ROM is that it is based off of a generic build of AOSP which is possible thanks to Project Treble.
