Are there downsides of flashing stock android? - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't like the UI of the mate 8 plus I'd like to use xposed, are there any downsides of flashing stock android on the device?
I'm mostly concerned with battery life.

Where did you find stock Android? Please provide the link

Maybe I was too optimistic, I thought you could flash it on any device but apparently not No mate 8 for me then...

how long have you been using Android phones to think that? Lol

Nice home screen, what kind of widgets are there? Android weather on top? I'm still waiting for my mate 8 while using my non rooted battery eating Xperia Z5 dual sim ?

using minima pro for live wallpapers, nova launcher with marshmallow system icons (huawei stock is meh) and to bring back the app drawer (huawei doesnt have one), deleted skin folder contents in /data to get rid of the huawei stock icon backgrounds. as for the widgets (from top to bottom):
Weather & Clock Widget
DroidStats
BetterBatteryStats
Greenify Hibernation Shortcut (although not really needed, since Huawei´s system management is already pretty aggressive)
Nova Launcher customized Dock and Folders

[WORKING] LauncherPro with BLUR app drawer (and maybe widgets)

I take no credit for this! Thanks to TBH for bringing us Gingerbread and Fede for an awesome launcher!
I noticed that you can have the best of both worlds..... Launcher pro with the Blur app drawer. You may already know this, but it was new to me and I thought I would share. All the details are in the vid.

Where did you get that lock screen? Is that an app that replaces it or did you theme the framework apk to look like that???

It looks like Widget Locker with a theme.

It's widgetlocker
cool, I was wondering about this; thanks
BTW, this works for ADW as well. I just tried it.
I got this problem where if I try to add shortcuts to my screens (any of them) Launcher Pro crashes... (using the latest unlocked version)
Running a rooted and deodexed 2.3.3 if it makes a difference, at any rate I got around that by long pressing the screen and adding shortcuts through that menu...
Also had trouble finding the "default" app drawer icon so I took a screenshot and cropped it via photoshop...

mm...it looks like android 3.0 from a tablet. But I don't now yet what kind of launcher it is.
It's supposed to be an Android 2.2 device and I highly doubt that launcher was developed exclusively for it:
Could it simply be a custom launcher from Asia which hasn't made it's way here?
I actually thought we had lots of choice already, apart from the manufacturers launcher, we've got Launcher Pro, Launcher EX, plus SPB 3D Shell which is pretty good.
Looks like a custom launcher for a tablet whit 3.0

I am slowly starting to believe that because I can't find any info about it anywhere. On the other hand it's REALLY unusal, usually they use a "well known" launcher, MAYBE use a slightly different theme but this thing looks like nothing I've seen before.
Could this be some sort of custom rom for the zPad?
Yep... This one looks definitely like tablet
it is called 3d launcher and it isnt very good, cant edit quite allot of it, tried it from modaco a few months ago and went straight back to adw.
it's same like my tablet (opad p10 ), but i 'm using android 3.0 now , you can try the rom for vega
Can I use it for Android 2.2
This launcher is very interesting.
My phone has Android 2.2. Thus do you know the launcher works on the version?

360 launcher 2.2.1

I highly recomend this guys cause this launcher is extremely smooth doesn't use alot of memory an comes with a large amount of functions

currently can't change the awsome clock/weather widget to any weather settings outside of china

Oooohhh... I like how clean that is. Question, though, what is that icon that reads "Cleaner?"

its a task killer icon built into the launcher though i'd say its not as agressive as others but no hang ups on the latest version of the launcher. also forgot to mention this but it has the option to change your lockscreen aswell (doesn't rotate in landscape).
I've been using it for a while, there was recently an update for version 2.3, go check it out

So what's faster? This or LauncherPro? Also, which has the smallest memory footprint?
Try Nemus Launcher if you're looking for a launcher with light memory usage and smoothness and it's a pretty simple launcher to adjust to. The only thing you might dislike is lack of support for scrollable widgets. 360Launcher on the other hand is more eye candy than anything and only seems to work smoothly on more high end devices and I wouldn't recommend anyone with a low end device to use it, but it is packed with some pretty awesome features that made it more than just a gorgeous launcher. I stuck with it for everything it can do and it gets updated pretty often, within days and not weeks or months.
Is sexy gonna put this on my backup sidekick to see how i like it.
i like this laucher, its fast and fancy but still needs alot more themes and tweaks

2. [email protected] ON: Don't know if it's SGS app only but it's working on my Note.
3. Dual analog & Dual digital clock: Both working great, but i don't know what does number 1 means.
4. S Suggest: Nice app, that suggest you the apps to use.
Hope that, that will help someone.
If you find this useful, don't be afraid to press tnx button ;-)
Thank you very much!
up apk please .
the number one in the clock means that Daylight Saving Time is in effect, so the clock is advanced one hour from "normal"
Any one of these worked on stock unrooted ics?
Even blackberry and apple can use chatonn..its free thou

I don't know because i'm rooted. try to instal the apps normal way. I think that game hub should work.
Any way we can have sms, phone and such (deodexed)?

GameHub works but everything just shows up as "Coming Soon" on LPF stock rom :/
Suspect it might be because of the default CSC (TGY) of LPF. What CSC u using?

I've already told you to look for launchers and widgets for trying to recreate the look on your S7, that's the only way you'll manage it, if it is possible at all
Use a theme.
The clock is easy use HD widgets from the Play Store. The launcher bar is another story and I don't see that anywhere either other than experimenting with themes
