Hi,
I got the Miui v8 update today so thought of sharing the review.
1. New theme, looks way cooler than the old default theme.
2. Status bar changed, looks like they went back to the single page status bar with toggles and notifications on the same page.
3. Notifications popup changed, looks way cooler now.
4. Dual app feature. This allows us to use 2 instances of the same app. Which means now u can login to 2 whatsapp accounts on your single phone without any rooting or anything.
5. Battery charging time displayed in status bar.
6. Screenshot now has option to copy full scroll
I'll post more as i discover them, others are welcome to share their experience.:highfive:
And btw, v8 is still based on Android Lolipop v5.0

Similar if not same battery and WiFi icons, maybe Google previews their next version of Android in a earlier version Chrome OS!!
Probably not, but still I found it interesting. Didn't include the font on KitKat because I've changed it on mine.

That's interesting - neat observation. Icons are all kind of blending in on devices now and looking so similar, surprised you noticed a similarity.

Touche.
I really came to love tinted system bars, the possibility of the status bar adapting its colour to the app. A quick example for anyone not familiar:

I upgraded to Android 5.0 and am missing this option a lot, it makes my screen look a lot smaller. I found workarounds with 3rd party apps for everything else still not integrated in 5.0 (like PIE controls), but could not find anything for TSB. I know XPOSED doesn't work with ART, but I'd like to know if anyone else had found a possible workaround until we get TSB. All I found was info about how to make apps take advantage of this on www.stackoverflow.com, something way too technical for me as of now.
As of now, I think its just a case of waiting for app developers to update their apps to support it in Lollipop. Some apps (mainly Google apps) support it currently - so its definitely still a feature.
There's no method to.force apps as of right now.

Have you tested the rom? Does the sim networks shows up?
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

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

Hi all!
I have created a new theme called 'Stockify' for EMUI4+ devices. It has a few interesting things...
Where possible all icons are replaced by their stock Android equivalent
Other icons are replaced with fully licenced icons from icons8
The theme is deployed via the Play Store - you will be automatically notified of updates and it will take you through the install and update process
The install / update tool will be open source shortly for all EMUI theme developers
The theme is currently in Beta, I will be stockifying a lot more, but you can have a play now!
Simply download from the Play Store at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.olabs.theme.stockify
Enjoy!
P
works great thanks
Thx!
Works great but white box around chrome icon

Google Play Store said:
Some users are experiencing 'white boxes' around icons on older devices. The solution to this, on devices with TWRP or rooted devices, is to remove the /system/themes/icons file. We are currently determining if there is an alternative solution for stock users.

Great theme! Thank you for sharing, paulobrien!
hello
Please can you help me i have this theme on my honor 5 x but i have white square on google chrome, gmail, youtube and whatsapp, thank you for your help and sorry for my english
Hi @paulobrien thanks for the theme. I notice when I change my launcher to nova, the icons revert back to stock. Is this behaviour expected?
Noticed that Marshmallow upgrade has solved the white box problem (on stock)
