After unlocking my phone, I get to my home screen with all my folders etc. As soon as I swipe to the right, I get Google Now!
It's as if it's an always on widget. On my N4, I would invoke Google Now by holding the Home key and swiping upwards (which I can also do with my N5).
Is this something that can be switched off or is this an integrated function of the system?
I'm not looking to switch off Google Now before anybody asks.

As far as I can see the only option would be to either A) Uninstall Google Now, or B) Install a different Home Launcher ... Neither are suitable resolutions to your question. I personally like having it as a home screen since I turned off my softkeys in Lieu of LMS
The only thing I can think of is switch launchers to nova or something similar. You would lose the "OK Google" function from the launcher though., so not a good solution if you use that function. As far as I know there is now way to remove it from the stock launcher.

Long press the homescreen, click settings, then uncheck the Google now option.

Thanks guys.
I don't mind having it but just wasn't sure if it was a feature that can be turned off without completely disabling Google Now.
Battery life is quite impressive on this thing even with it always on!

It does not disable Google now entirely just the extra screen, maybe you should try it before you respond with useless replies.

This page is the same page as if you went into settings from Google Now Directly. This will turn it off.

Hi everyone,
I just updated my phone to EMUI 9.0 (Indian Variant) and i have a few concerns which i'm listing below.
Wifi and Mobile Network icons have been moved to left side. Is there a way to switch it back to right side?
The recent apps animation and placement(side by side like the iphone) is quite weird. Is there a way to make it stack like in EMUI 8?
When you open recent apps the screen sometimes turns blue. Is anyone else facing such issue?
The tips in new EMUI 9 is quite irritating already. Is there a way to disbale it?
How to access the subscription menu for magazine unlock in EMUI 9? Earlier there was a way to swipe up from the lock screen that opened it directly but now that option opens photos added by me instead of auto downloaded subscriptions.
When you use splitscreen Emui stop showing the recent apps list. I get empty screen with wallpaper. It seems the windows are there, because when I click in the empty space the apps switch, but they are invisible. (Credits Medard22)
Huawei and Honor have officially disabled support for Google camera in their latest EMUI 9. All who got the EMUI 9 will not get the taste of Google camera anymore until they will enable it again. (Credits Zenkilla, Irshad Wani)
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance
1. The icons are moved to the left on the Android Pie, you can't move it back.
2. This is also normal on Pie and EMUI 9, and also can't revert. The 'blue screen' never happened to me, I don't know why is that happening to you.
3. The tips will stop appearing after some time. At least they did on my phone.
4. From the lock screen: swipe up, tap the settings button in the right bottom corner (the gear icon) and unlock the phone. It will open the Magazine subscriptions.
I hope I helped.
1. Wifi and Mobile Network icons have been moved to left side. Is there a way to switch it back to right side?
This is because most of the phone launching with notch and Honor has started moving that icon to left. No way to move back untill a working xposed module.
2. The recent apps animation and placement(side by side like the iphone) is quite weird. Is there a way to make it stack like in EMUI 8?
Not possible anymore unless on emui 8 or custom ROM.
3. When you open recent apps the screen sometimes turns blue. Is anyone else facing such issue?
Nope. May a theme you are using is causing this.
4. The tips in new EMUI 9 is quite irritating already. Is there a way to disbale it?
It was there for 2-3 days then stopped.
5. How to access the subscription menu for magazine unlock in EMUI 9? Earlier there was a way to swipe up from the lock screen that opened it directly but now that option opens photos added by me instead of auto downloaded subscriptions.
As mentioned in above comment but in my case, when i opened i found it opening gallery and that's blank.

Its being rolled out in batches. You'll get it soon.
Well my problem with he update is that function, where you could make the alarm ringtone grow louder over time is now gone. I always use very low alarm volume so that I would not get heart attack every morning. Got the update yesterday and the alarm was so quiet that I overslept. After years Google finally bundle it to the stock app and now huawei removes it. Now that´s a progress. Also having Honor View 10 I must say i don´t like the stock camera app. In EMUI 8 there were a handy swiping gestures bringing mode selection and settings, well they are gone now it´s now a bit more ... clunky.
How's your ram usage? I noticed before upgrade I usually have near 1.5~1.8gb free ram I think can't be sure I didn't screenshot it. Now I have 800+mb. Only diference between old android and new android is I add weather widget which didn't eat as much ram. Restart I get 3gb free.
I found a way to revert to the EMUI 8 vertically stacked recent apps, but it requires root. If you use Titanium Backup or something similar to freeze the Huawei Home app and switch to a different launcher, it will revert to the Android 8 style recent apps.
This is weird, because it's as if the Android 9 style horizontal recents is not part of the OS, but a component of the Huawei Home app.
I'm sticking with vertical for now because I was getting the same blue tint that you described on the horizontal recents.

Even i feel the same way now, but give it time to get used to and you'll surely like it.
Also as you said huawei removed what google made default, i have experienced similar thing in the smart unlock tab. Google provides a lot of options to unlock by location, bluetooth etc but huawei trims it as per outs own liking.

This is issue faced by only some users, so i believe we should make a factory reset as i'm about to do in the coming days.
Since you are having issue similar to mine, can you also confirm if you have the magazine unlock tab in the home screen and wallpaper in settings?
Is there any official feedback thread? I found some more bugs. Some webpages have problem rendering their mobile versions on Pie. Also the 3D panorama in gallery doesn't work. After you click on the 3d button it constructs the mesh then freezes Right now I'm not very excited about the update unfortunately.
So I'm the only one that wants to use gestures but can't because my case cover the Sides?
Hi guys, I recently updated to 10. Stock rooted, TWRP. 70 and Magisk 19.4, no more no less.
I don't use stock launcher (deleted). Used Apex Launcher every since my first OP3T. On Android 9 I could open an app, double tapped the backbutton twice (set that commando as "Split Screen") go back to home screen, open a second app and ... Boom ... 2 apps on screen.
When I do this in Android 10 (set back button double tap to Split Screen, it does show two horizontal stripes, but literally EVERY app I open gives feedback: "This app doesn't suppory split screen" (although they did in Android 9).
Anyone to help please?

Did you trie this?
This option comes from pie. Do you have it on Android 10th?
In developer options select Force activities to be resizable
Hi guys! I did not have this option turned on, did it right away. Now things got even stranger:
- in portrait mode it still does not work
- in landscape it DOES work. And if I place 2 apps next to each other in landscape and turn back to portrait, they stay
But since I use this feature mainly in my car (in a non-turnable phone holder) - it wouldn't be wise to keep doing it with this crazy workaround.
So did your tips help: definitely. Did they solve it? No. Very funny but nothing to laugh about.

Ohh boy...
Im still postponing with Android 10 update.
I like Android 10 futures however split screen I use a lot. I use even kodi in split screen.
That's not good that you can't do it.
Maybe it's just a hick-up on my device. Let's wait what others have to say. I made a Nandroid, thinking I could go back, but I believe it doesn't work that way. Since a clean install is not an option, I stuck in 10.

I tried Tiles (purchased that years ago) and unfortunately have to confirm that it is still the same. I CAN choose a second app but ONLY in landscape modus. Ridiculous.
Can any one else confirm how this is on their Android 10?

Does all apps work for you in split windows?
I have the exact same problem, the splitscreen option does not seem to work whenever I used one of the buttons (long press or double tap) set to open/close splitscreen.
splitscreen does work in the recent apps window, opening it by the 3 dot menu... but this takes me a lot longer.
I'm rooted and have mods installed, so they could be part of the problem too.
Anyone else seeing this? Every once in awhile, I'll press the "home" button on the navbar.
And instead of showing me my home screen with icons & such, it only shows my background.
I have to press the home button a second time before my icons and folders show up.

Plenty of people have this issue, some launchers don't work properly, I'm getting others issues as well like folders showing up in recents.
There's no real fix at the moment, you either change launcher or keep the issues.
Darn. Okay, thanks for letting me know that it's not just me.
I haven't had any issues with Nova Launcher. I'm using the Prime version. Perhaps that makes a difference?
Have you changed the settings within the config utility?
Yep, I've had Prime Nova for many years.
I change a TON of settings in the Nova settings.
It doesn't happen often enough to make troubleshooting easy.
I guess I could try resetting it back to factory defaults for a week or so.

You mention that you're rooted and have mods installed...I would definitely look there first. I say this because I use Nova Prime on my 7 Pro and have zero issues. In fact I have been using Nova Prime on all my phones for years without any problems. YMMV
Every single third party launcher and device has this issue (and more) ever since Android 10 came out and tied Recents and Launchers together, it's worse with gesutres but can happen with navbar too.
Those who claim to not have it either ignore it, don't use their device fast or don't mind lag
Lawnchair alpha 4, no issues
Not rooted, qp beta, nova prime, no issues like that on mine.
..certainly no one can have accessibility function for gestures in nova launcher, this is due to google - android 13 security,
double tap would be a bless, so i don't understand why google is providing double tap on the back of the phone, but only strange single tap (lock screen) on the front of the device.. ?
I ran into a similar issue with Android 12 & 13 - it's a little tricky to get the gestures for Nova to work on the lock screen and provided a couple of screen shots to make things easier for you.

No problem with Nova 8.0.3 here. But i dont use navbar.

I only have that occasional issue if I have a **** ton of memory hungry apps running. And I think it started with the January update
Using total launcher and something similar happens to me. When I use gestures to pull up recent apps, I'll just see my homescreen instead of the apps themselves. Very weird but the behavior still works in that I can press the screen and it goes to the last app, which is what I want majority of the time.
Nova gestures work for me via Accessibility - but only for a few hours. Then, I can't see a note in Accessibility menu for Nova non-malfunctioning. Turning the Allow toggle off and on resolves the problem, temporarily.
I'm using this nova launcher, and whenever I attempt to use split screen I receive the error "pixel launcher has crashed." Nova is set as my default launcher though. I'm on a p7p latest update.
Yeah, I'm on Nova 7 and split screen is working just fine for me.
It's working fine on my P7Pro as well...

Works fine as we speak
I really loved split screen when we had the three button navigation. You could double tap the recents button and then split your screen immediately. I wish Google would make it easier than it currently is. I really wish if you went into recents by swiping up to your right from the bottom and it was an option below like screenshot. This is one of the things that drives me nuts with Google and there horrible human factors
Here's the log.

I agree. I've wondered for a long time how Split Screen went from being so easy to no longer anything I think about anymore
I just went back to the pixel launcher to see if it would do split screen. It does. Whenever I go back to nova it crashes and split screen doesn't work. What are the motions/ gestures to get it to work on a13 on a p7p? I've read on some older threads where people had the same issue that they had to find a way to make it work with seemingly "secret" gestures.
You have to swipe from the bottom up to the right to access your recent apps. Press the app icon you are currently using in recents. A selection menu will pull down and you select split screen. The current app will move to the top of the screen and allow you to select another app to split screen with.
With split screen in the past, you would have a three-button navigation at the bottom. The button on the right was recents. If you double pressed the reasons button, the app you are currently on would go to the top of the screen and allow you to select another app to split screen. It was easy and one of the best functions of Android. When they move to gestures, they took the function away and now it takes three more touches to get to split screen.
At the same time, Android has not worked on this function and over time it has become bug laden mess. I find it crashes often.
Have you tried nova launcher 8 beta? Split screen works fine with that build. Also the prime if you have paid from it works too.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I updated to 8.0.3 last night and I still have the same issue. I think aosp mods through lsposed is causing me trouble. I'm asking for help in that tread. Others have similar setups to mine, so idk what's going on. Anyone here in a13 with nova launcher on a p70 and have split screen working?
I use nova on a13 but I'm fully stock and there is no issues. So it might be the some mod. Typically if searching for the culprit of a bug you would first disable all the mods and go from there testing one mod at a time. It's very hard to find a solution when you have a modded environment. Basically since on stock android with no mods it's not having issues most likely it's one of the mods you are using that is perhaps causing the issue.

Split screen breaks when you disable animations in developer options
Specifically you can't turn off Animator duration scale

Click to expand...

Wow. You got it. This was it. I DESPISE animations though. They make the phone feel slow like an iphone. Disabling animations is always the very first thing I do with a new phone. So is this a nova launcher problem? If I go back to the pixel launcher with animations totally disabled there is no issue.
I typically use split screen at least once a week, and sometimes it's more or less. I've been using nova for almost a month it seems. Maybe I really hadn't tried split screen prior to making this post, but that seems odd. What I'm getting at here is that it seems even nova had to have functioning split screen while animations were totally disabled. I have all animations disabled except for the "animator scale." Now I have animations when swiping back from apps to go home. Popping a new app open still doesn't have an animation.
The lowest animation scale I have is . 5x. On past phones and older android versions I think there were even smaller options. Anyone know of a root or Xposed module to give me more options? If I can cut this down to .1x or even . 25x I will deal with it.
At . 5x animations and only using split screen 1x/week or I might just deal with not having split screen. I despise animations.
Edit: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/animations-set-scale-set-to-25.4365695/
Will those adb commands through my on-device terminal work? Can I use other scales like . 1 instead of just . 25x? Will this add animations for everything? Currently I only set the animator duration scale to . 5x. All the other animation options are still toggled off.
I also found a scaleR magisk module, but the last activity in the thread was in 2020, and I don't wanna message round with bootloops, wiping, and restoring my phone this weekend.
EDIT 2: I issued the command "settings put global animator_duration_scale 0.01" in terminal (had to use SU /root command) and the command itself works, but anything below the menu options of . 5x makes the nova launcher behave as if you have animations off, ie split screen doesn't work.
I also turn animations off first thing. I'll rather pass on the dual screen feature than turn animations on.

So the limitation is on the nova side? The feature still works on the pixel launcher with animations off. Any suggestions on overcoming this? So I just need to email the nova team or report it as a bug? I would consider it a a bug- flip a switch (animations) that has nothing to do with the functionality and that functionality then works? That's a bug. I wonder if a magisk module could do this or if through tasker the animations could be toggled on only when the split screen option was selected. Whenever split screen was exited another shell command ran through tasker would turn animations back off.
Guess a bug report is always good. For Tasker I think autoinput can do this

Collect a bug report through android system?
I have autoinput, but have never used it a single time. I was understanding that it actually had to do its tasks in the foreground. If I use it to toggle the animation scale does that mean I'm going gto see the settings app flash to the foreground, an automated button click on the animation scale toggle, and then have things revert back to where I was in trying to split screen something?
I don't know how Nova launcher devs can receive bug reports. They probably have some support link somewhere.
My idea was sending the command via Tasker as soon as you open the recents view which can be recognized with autoinput. And then you can come up with an idea for an exit task condition. Just play around with it.
