Few Things to Note:

*Use Default Launcher [Anything else will lag]

*Flash Pico Gapps [Flashing anything higher will give you error]

*Enable Gesture Navigation [Settings -> System -> Gesture -> Swipe up on home button ]

Hi,

After following your procedure, i still can't install the PICO gapps, insufficient SYSTEM partition space ( error 70 ). Help ? :(
[Moto G Android Development] Allstargaurav:
Are you sure you installing Pico gapps, check and tell how much free space you have in your system partition

How can I take advantage of MicroG to get more out of my phone without using google services?
[Moto G Android Development] lucastracq:
well, first of all you should start from the wiki of the microg project to get an understanding of what it is and how it works.

after that i suggest you to check nanodroid and its detailed documentation. this is probably the easiest way to get started on most roms and it's very well configured so, not only works mostly out of the box, but also has some "features" useful for beginners.

Instagram and Whatsapp's videos problems

I know they are tagged as "not working" and "can't be fixed" but can I have some clues on why they are not working?

Even some links would be welcome!

Just want to know if it's indeed not fixable or if I may help with it some way

Thanks in advance!
[Moto G Android Development] SHIVAM1198:
Don't know whether its fixable or not but I have found a way around for this. When status or videos aren't running close the app and clear it from recents then again open the app and now it should run fine.

Hope it will be helpful.

I will give logcat if [MENTION=7751333]Allstargaurav[/MENTION] needs...

Why does the app drawer (at the bottom of the home screen) keep bobbing up and down until I touch it? I find it mega annoying!

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] R89B:
Hi all,

I've purchased a used P20 Pro from a friend which has an unlocked bootloader and has been previously rooted. I normally keep my phones stock so I want to lock relock the bootloader (I have the code) but despite trying to follow various guides I have been unsuccessful.

Would anyone be able to guide me through the process of relocking the bootloader please?

The main reason I like to keep stock is manufacture updates etc and I don't have the knowledge to maintain a rooted phone.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] mgateno:
I don't believe that an unlocked bootloader will prevent you from getting updates. As far as I know the only difference is the warning you get when you boot that "you can't trust the phone."

IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

Don't know if there is another way but of you have fastboot and adb you can do it:

1. Make sure developer options are enabled

2. Connect your phone to the computer using USB cable.

3. Open a command window and type 'adb boot bootloader'

4. Once the device has booted into the bootloader mode type 'fastboot oem lock'

This WILL ERASE all your user data and you will have to configure everything from scratch. You will need the unlock code if you ever want to unlock it again so make sure you don't loose it.
[Honor Magic 2 Questions & Answers] ChildishGambino3005:
I'm really tempted to get one of these to replace my s8+, but I'm not sure if I could go without an app drawer. Could I perhaps delete the default launcher using adb? Or would that crash the whole phone?

Edit: this is what worked for me, putting it on the top so other people can find it more easily.

1. Make sure you have Nova or third party launcher installed.

2. Enable usb debugging in developer options.

3. Connect to your computer via usb

4. Type in:

adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.launcher

Optional if you use Gesture control:

5. Swiping gestures from the bottom of the screen won't work, if you want to use gesture controls, download fluid or edge gestures from play store (one is a freemium app and the other is a paid app). I heard Fluid is really really good and it's a sort of free, but I already have Edge Gestures because I bought it for my M5 tablet, so that's what I use instead.

6. Enable gesture app in accessibility services.

7. Type in special access in settings, and disable battery optimization for that app.

8. Go to battery option> battery usage, find gesture app, choose manually launch app and check all three options.

9. Go to recent apps, and tap the lock icon of gesture app to keep the app open in background, or the accessibility services will be revoked.

Hope it works for you.

Just use Nova and then set it as default.
[Honor Magic 2 Questions & Answers] skimminstones:
does it not give you the option of using an app drawer like other Huawei phones?
[Honor Magic 2 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8892904:
It has but Huawei software is the worst and only drawback of Huawei/Honor phones. If you can ignore the EMUI crapware Huawei phones are the best. Before you could just flash a custom ROM. Now since Huawei no longer provide code, it's impossible. You can get code via third party software but as it's paid there won't be much development.
[Honor Magic 2 Questions & Answers] skimminstones:
had the Mate 9 and never had any issues with the Huawei software personally. Dont understand the hate it seems to generate. If the Magic 2 is the same, although i see its been updated from EMUI 9 to MAGIC 2 software now then im very interested in this phone. Just waiting for either global versions to be available or a UK version if they decide to release it here
[Honor Magic 2 Questions & Answers] wiliam.ding@outlook.com:
I tried,adb shell to disable official APP then you can use Nova but still impossible to set the default launcher. But you could still use nova Swip up gesture may be disable to just tap nova in the default setting can fix this . But swip up to show the recent can't work anymore
[Honor Magic 2 Questions & Answers] ChildishGambino3005:
My Magic 2 has arrived. I installed Nova Launcher on it. At first I disabled the default Launcher but it kept coming back when I rebooted it. So I just uninstalled the default Launcher using ADB.

Another problem I ran into is that when using Nova Launcher, the swipe up gestures don't work, so I had to buy a third party gesture app. But the accessibility services keep turning itself off. I tried managing the app manually in Phone Manager but sometimes the gesture app would still get disabled. Lol.
[Honor Magic 2 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8892904:
Welcome to Huawei World. The Magic 2 is an expensive phone. So instead of this stuff I would advise you to stomach the software and enjoy it. Accessibility service is a long running problem of EMUI 8 & 9. So at this point, if you are up for it, I advise you to unlock your Bootloader via and third party software. They are paid, keep that in mind. After that flash any project Treble GSI. However keep in Mind you are Running EMUI 9 so it may not work. Alternatively your best bet is to hope for a change and stomach it.
[Honor Magic 2 Questions & Answers] ChildishGambino3005:
Thabks for the reply. It must be an Honor issue I guess. I have the same gesture navigation app installed on my M5 tablet and I had no issues with it. Although I can't remember if that was before or after I flashed OpenKirin on it. It seems to be working now that I disabled auto optimization for my gesture app. Fingers crossed.

I think I've worked it out now. As long as I have the gesture app opened in the background and have the battery optimization set to manual for the app, the accessibility services won't be disabled. Which leads me to another minor problem of not being able to use the clear app function or I'll have to turn it on again. I think I can live with that for now, at least the behavior is predictable and I know what is causing the problem.
[Honor Magic 2 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8892904:
Good Luck Man. At this point buying from Huawei/Honor is a risky investment. I hope yours is worth it. With the bootloader fiasco development for these phones is non-existent. There is some hope it may change given the backlash but, well. Good Luck. From what I have heard the Magic 2 is a good phone. Enjoy it. As for me, I am gonna try to avoid these phone. But they are the only budget phones with Good Specs so I am stuck. And yeah. The issues always go away after flashing custom ROMs.
[Honor Magic 2 Questions & Answers] ChildishGambino3005:
Yeah man. Im switching from a US unlocked s8+, that has no unlocked bootloader or any dev as well. I do miss my OnePlus though, but it's such a shame that the 6T has no LED notification nor an AOD. Otherwise I would've bought it even though the SD845 is half a generation behind the Kirin 980.
[Honor Magic 2 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8892904:
Notification LED Is a loss. But you can enable AOD via Root. Or you know, just flash a custom ROM.
[Honor Magic 2 Questions & Answers] Lucky_stipe:
Hello! I'm thinking about buying this phone. But as you have it, there are some things I need to know:

1) Does it have Google play installed? Or do you have to install it yourself? If so, was it difficult or you just enter the honor store, look for Google, and download it?

2) Too many Chinese phones have problems with third party apps notifications (especially WhatsApp). Like you don't receive the notification unless you open the app. Does it happen with the honor Magic 2 Too?

3) The always on display in most Chinese phones is useless cause only shows notifications from messages, phone calls or some Chinese apps like WeChat or QQ (no Gmail, Facebook, WhatsApp).

4) Although the phone has Spanish language, the virtual assistant only works with Chinese voice.

Thanks
[Honor Magic 2 Questions & Answers] ChildishGambino3005:
1) It has Google framework preinstalled, and you would just need to download play store on Huawei app gallery. It's as simple as that.

2) I get WhatsApp messages instantly with the screen off.

3) The AOD is very basic. So it only has the time, battery level. The lockscreen shows you the song you're playing (on Google play music, but not Spotify strangely) and some shortcuts.

4) The phone has Spanish but the assistant is in Chinese only. I'm not sure if they've updated it are planning to update it. I uninstalled it via ADB so can't test that out for you.
[Honor Magic 2 Questions & Answers] leedashone:
I install nova launcher , and use adb command remove default launcher:

It's work! I can use nova launcher as my default launcher...

But there is a BIG problem:

The home key (or home gesture) don't work! It's mean I can go home at anywhere...

ps: Go "Huawei Store" install & run huawei launcher again can let stock launcher back without factory reset.

[Honor Magic 2 Questions & Answers] ChildishGambino3005:
I use edge gestures from the play store, it cost like $2 but I had it already because I bought it to use with my tablet.

You have to go to the recent apps page and lock it in, as well as ignore the battery optimization for it to keep working, otherwise emui will keep disabling its accessibility services access.
[Honor Magic 2 Questions & Answers] dragon-tmd:
Because your are only disabling the apk, NOT uninstalling (which you can't without root). The gestures are only working with the build in launcher.

I have a galaxy note 4 n910f, it constantly freezes, and i cant reboot it with the power button (power button - volume up - home button), i have to remove the battery.

i thought it was because of the custom rom (i was running resurection remix 8.1). then i changed the rom to norma rom, then to simplrom, tried the ramrom and ramkernel, the problem still persisted. i then flashed stock rom (6.0.1 and 5.1.1) but it still freezes.

is it an emmc problem or something else ?

some info:

the freezes are triggered randomly, by scrolling through facebook, pulling down the notification bar... nothing that would stress the cpu or something like that.

underclocking did not help.

the battery is fine

when the phone freezes, if i dont restart it, it gets very hot

when i used resurection remix, half of the screen would go black and the screen distorted but the button combination (power button - volume up - home button) could reboot it

and i dont have any emmc fail messages (like in other posts)

if you need more info for the problem, feel free to ask, i will provide the info
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raul6:

so I was trying to update to EMUI 9 using Beta Flashy and I forgot to reflash stock recovery after flashing root via TWRP to get Flashy to work, so after the update, it couldn't reset, and when I checked bootloader, FRP was locked and now its stuck in bootloop. can anyone provide me with a method to fixing this issue without requiring me to pay the absurd amount that FunkyHuawei and DC Unlocker charge for restoring?

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] evirtualidad:
Try Dload method and go back to EMUI8
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
Have you tried factory reset from stock recovery?

Flashing someone elses oeminfo will not help you. All it will do is lock bootloader and change your unlock code. (that thread is for Mate 9 on Nougat where oeminfo can be flashed without breaking anything. On Oreo and higher it uses oeminfo to calculate unlock code. But it also uses the imei that's embedded in oeminfo to calculate it. If you flash someone elses oeminfo your imei in oeminfo will not be the same and unlock code will change)

You most likely didn't do anything wrong. Updating stock firmware will replace your recovery with stock recovery. If it got that far in installation that is?

FH should work but it cost a lot. DC does not work since June so don't bother with it.

Else you can try service firmware from androidhost.ru.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] majidamiri15300:
It supposedly went fine, but its still as is so. im downloading the Oreo update i was on, hopefully it works. of course the download speed isnt of much help

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] majidamiri15300:
128, C185
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
Wait, you were on B128?!

That's from December 2017/January 2018. And that's the reason why it won't downgrade. It has old bootloader, and you are now on new bootloader. (Since Pie has new bootloader and it flashed).

Try a more recent build, like B139 or B140

You can also try downloading from androidhost.ru using JDownloader, it seem to ignore the limit.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] majidamiri15300:
does it matter though? because i cant even flash Pie. it's like its not accepting anything.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
But it did update before bootlooping, no?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] majidamiri15300:
i think so, yes. im downloading and trying anyway cuz what do i have to lose here.

edit: B135 didn't work, B139 still downloading...
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
It's just that B128 has old bootloader, and Pie (Including Oreo firmware from June and forward) has new bootloader. You can not downgrade from new bootloader to old bootloader.

So that's most likely why it fails to flash B128.

And you would only be able to update Pie using NoCheck recovery/TWRP, which is impossible to flash as you are FRP locked.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] majidamiri15300:
yeah i get that. ugh why does Huawei have to make everything so hard?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] ante0:
B135 should be able to install. It's new bootloader.

Check the instruction pdf that's included in the firmware, it will show you the directory path to use. And if you need to use microsd or USB OTG to SD adapter or something.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] majidamiri15300:

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] majidamiri15300:
yeah i did, it was relatively easy. just go to https://androidhost.ru, download the version for your phone, and when you unzip, you'll find a folder with instructions on how to flash. easy process, although keep in mind, this process will relock your bootloader (if you already unlocked it).

if you did unlock and it relocked, firstly, check your email if you still have the unlock code buried somewhere in your deleted emails, and if not, then check out this guide, should help you find your unlock code. it worked for me, and only cost $5 or so.
