Good luck

FYI: If you play PUBG you may noticed lag in emui 5, china emui 8 & elemental rom but there is no lag in india emui 8 & gsi roms and the good news is india emui 8 consumes less battery for PUBG game than gsi roms you may notice 40% difference in battery.

Fix for incomplete flashing via huru

If your themes not working then you have flashed it incompletely follow these steps to make it perfect.

Now goto wipe then formate data by typing yes it should formate data without any errors if it shows errors at beginning with red colour then you need to flash stock recovery again do complete factory reset then flash twrp do format it will do without errors.

Currently there is no sound mod for emui 8 if you try to flash viper or dolbyatmos they will corrupt system files and you have to reflash emui 8 via hwota 8.
