[Linux User]

Honor 8 CM13/CyanogenMod 13 Android Marshmallow 6.0 ROM has now arrived via an UNOFFICIAL build. This Marshmallow 6.0 has come ONLY for Honor 8 via CM13/CyanogenMod 13 ROM. For CyanogenMod 14 ROM just stay tuned to UNOFFICIAL list of CM14 or OFFICIAL CM14 list. This CM13 for Honor 8 (frd) is brought to you by developer surdu_petru. He has also brought the Honor 8 CM14.1 (CyanogenMod 14.1) Nougat custom ROM which is in BETA state. If you like this ROM then consider a donation to surdu_petru.

DISCLAIMER:
THIS IS AN INITIAL BUILD. THIS MAY NOT BOOT AT ALL OR IF IT BOOTS IT MAY HAVE MANY MORE BUGS THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE. TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK. Installing a custom ROM on a Honor 8 requires the bootloader to be unlocked on the Honor 8 phone, which may VOID your warranty and may delete all your data. Before proceeding further you may consider backup all data on the phone. You are the only person doing changes to your phone and I cannot be held responsible for the mistakes done by you.
