Themes Store - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

I'm coming from a Huawei P9 Lite, and I loved about it the many themes there were available for donwloading, but now, in my Honor 8, when I enter to THEMES, it only shows Local Themes, there's not any option to download ...
Is there a problem with my phone, Huawei does not has this option for Honor? Or what?
Thanks already to those who can provide me information or solutions.

You have to have your Huawey account set on the phone (maybe the HiCare as well but I don't remeber).
Than you can download themes from the app called "Themes"

Thanks. I'll try that. But What I noticed is my phone doesn't have Huawei ID pre-installed nor Hicloud and Hicare... Will see if it's possible to install it or not...
Are you able to download themes?

You can apply themes from developers here though. Like MaterialVUI.

Yes I am able to download them:
From the settings you should be able to sign into your Huawei account (there is a menu optoin for that).

That's exactly how it was on my Huawei p9 lite, but can't manage to do it in my Honor 8, last question, what themes app version (or build) do you have? Thanks again.

Can you guys upload the apk. Needed to have this working... Thank you

I have L09 with B120 and the app version is 7.3.20

Have you updated to the latest firmware?
Have you backup, factory reset and restore?

Did you set your phone number? The only difference what I see right now from the screenshots that you have your email adress and I have my phone number (and secondarily my email) paired to my account.

I used my email address, so I don't think it could be that. Maybe if you try and force close the theme app, clear all the data etc.
Go to settings > apps > and select the themes app

I'm having the same problem and i recently discovered that themes store is not available in US versions:

Ok,good news here @danymart94
I finally found a solution
Get this app from play store
It's called EMUI tweaker:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teammt.gmanrainy.emuitweaker
Now, from the list hit Disable online theme, by default it's turned on
Just switch it off by hitting the toggle then head to the Themes app,
Launch it then your themes app will show a disclaimer now hit ok...
Tada ... online themes are just between your hands.

Installing Huawei beta app fails, conflicting with existing package name. B381 FW

Found through the HiCare app that you can sign up for beta by downloading an beta app from huawei website (http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/se/fut/index.html).
APK name fut_2.1.15.apk
Installing it fails with:
"The package conflicts with an existing package by the same name"
The package name is com.huawei.betaclub
Been looking through Settings > Apps but can't find any app with that name.
Any help is appreciated.
Tried it, got the same error on FRD-09
FRD-L19 on B380 (i know outdated, but i am too stupid to upgrade without losing my data)
Does not work!
So which App do I have to uninstall and what does this BETA-App do?
I've already contacted Huawei (Finland) on this matter, and they confirmed that the package seems to be broken/incompatible somehow. They said they'd report this problem to appropriate place.
Reply from huawei support:
"Hello After testing the app out on our phones we have the same result. The app does not work on android 7 as it was made for android 6 to get the beta of android 7. Best regards Huawei support"
I tried it and it installed, but when I try to click agree and login, it says login failed (after having downloaded and logged into the verification app).

Does anyone use HiCloud for backup?

I am on L04 in US and would like to use HiCloud to backup my phone except for the photo gallery. I have been using it for a while with my Huawei ID, but it stopped working in the recent 2 months. It keeps saying there is not enough space on the cloud, which it is not true as I have only used 40MB out of 5GB space. Does anyone know what is the issue? Maybe the service is not for people out of China? But you should be find HiCloud on Settings...

I never had HiCloud on my device. In fact for me the theme store also never worked. It was only when I travelled to India and used an Indian SIM it activated the store.
How did u get HiCloud working on ur phone?

Yes I have. It looks like all your data is being backed up by google, that means its working already. You just need to login using your google Account to your device at the first boot and select the name of this device and that's it. You will get everything (except the app data)
i use high cloud for backup.

Update 9.0.0.185

Hi,
Just got the phone updated to 9.0.0.185 overnight. Can anyone share the changelog?
Thanks
Don't care - no Launcher fix.
Becoming sadder and sadder that such a great phone has this problem. HUAWEI, YOU DICKS! Allow us to change the launcher. Sigh.

If you have the Chinese AL00 version the posted [ROM][AL00] Mate 20 X GlobAL00ized beta [Debloated][Mostly Deodexed] rom fixes this issue!! You'd have to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP (also has been posted), format phone (including internal storage), install rom and optionally install Magisk for root. Using Nova with no issues selecting between Huawei Home and Nova from Default apps setting. Although it's using 175 and not 185.
Hello
Is there a way or link to get the update, since I am looking by phone but there is nothing.

That's one of the reasons i don't buy Chinese models. Works fine on EVR-L29 (C432)
I just want landscape on home screen for stock launcher. When I'm in recent apps in landscape and go back to home screen the home screen is in landscape for a split second. It looks so good.Too scared to do the root. Never have done that. If this was a 300 dollar phone I would try.

It won't work and fails. You have to flash stock recovery_ramdisk to do the update. Unless you're on [ROM][AL00] Mate 20 X GlobAL00ized beta [Debloated][Mostly Deodexed] rom in which case there are instructions to update to the new beta 2 version that will update to 185 during the process.
Huawei just push this update today to my phone as well.. I just said pass ! I will not Update from 175 to 185 since i see no improvements !
The only thing that upset me is the Option that 185 brings : Automatically Add Watermark Logo to Photos taken with Back camera !
Why you do this Huawei ! WHYYY.... Free advertising is good isn't ?
What if i want to post a pic to IG and i don't want people to see it was taken with my phone ... ?! Huawei is pushing our boundaries really hard... First, it was the Bootloader lock, then no 3rd Party Launchers, now Automatically Add watermark to our photos... Hmmm...

That setting is already there, it's just set to off now. The new firmware probably just defaults to on, so simply turn it off in camera settings.

How do you guys get an update thru HICARE? Also, it's the hicare app on the phone, right? Nothing shows app everytime I try to check since I got the phone. I always have to wait for the OTA.
EDIT: Figured it out... downloading update now.

Had the same reaction at first but when I checked it was indeed a setting and to be honest upon reflexion it would have been a dumb move from them to force a watermark/logo on photos

Stock sms app?

Is there a way to extract it from the p40 pro? I don’t see much info out there on Huawei's stock sms app. I would like to use it on another Huawei phone that has google services on it.
You could use APK analyzer and then use the export APK command.
Hi,
Give this a try. Just extracted the .apk myself, let me know if it works: https://mega.nz/file/Ic53AQZQ#Nnuo6oHDTzVkFTjfIKQtz_kxUnWaFTtxxL5p7ooFNZQ

You probably can try the Huawei Phone Clone app, but now launch the app in reverse on both of your phones, and select only the SMS app to be copied over.

I had it in the emui 9.1 (mate 20x) but dare not go back after having managed to update to 10.1. I thought I had a backup - will look for it and report back if I find it.
It was theme-able as well (i.e themes actually could work on it)

Open the support app. Go to me tab on the bottom right in that go to settings and change region to China and I assume if you imported from China via eBay or other sources you should be able to get the update. You can either go to settings or use the services section and find the update button after that you will see update and even if you change region back to your original it will be fine and see the update.

I think this is a bit "dangerous" way because buttons menu will set in Chinese language, how can restore it in your language after that? I don't know Chinese language.
And second thing, at my Huawei Support App I haven't got any update software button and I have it lastest version on my Mate 30 Pro 5G.

In the support app language change will not change the system language. Just follow the steps and once it shows update available you can change location back to your original one.

I used to have it but that changed. See screenshots in my previous posts above you can get it by changing region in support app. Then go to services tab on the bottom. Scroll till you find the attached image. The red box with up arrow is for upgrade.
When you tap that it will see the update. You can change the region back after that and update using phone settings. Cheers
