More shortcuts in slider menu in EMUI 4 - Honor 6, 6 Plus Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
How the hell they mess this up in new EMUI 4.0 ? Now we only have 9 shortcuts. That's right, You can edit them and switch with others, but You cannot have all 17 of them in one time (like in old emui 3.1)
My question in, what kind of bulls**t is that? Can I somehow repair it?
The funny part is, everywhere on YT, they are pointing top 5 or top 10 most irrytating things in new emui 4 and there's no word about the little number of shortcuts? Are these people blind or something? How can You dont see such a con ?

its so sad, they removed it in emui4.0
even the settings icon is fixed

Unless you're willing to go custom ROM. The shortcut bar on it has more shortcuts.

Most ppl didn't see that as a con. That's why it got unnoticed.

I have dev version now. Please tell me if in stable version (i don't remember):
When You click on "edit" You see more icons. Can You click on them to toggle on/off, or You have to slide them to main menu and then toggle them?

Try developer version, they changed it. You can click on other eight icons and toggle them

Repeating my comment from https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/help/emui-4-1-shortcuts-panel-how-to-add-t3427666. It's P7 but similar problem.
I had Notification bar shortcuts customizable in A4.4 with B623 and EMUI 3.1, a plenty of them.
After the upgrade to A5.1 with B852 but also EMUI 3.1 I'm disappointed to see only 9 shortcuts and no option to change it.
I wouldn't say it's EMUI because it's the same in my case. Looks like A5 problem with Huawei.

[HOWTO] Enable notification badges in Poco launcher

I'm missing the count number over the icons.
I'm missing my battery percentage and the ability to change fonts. Otherwise no real problems with this phone yet...

Search for zikko in themes store and you'll solve the issue with battery percentage. You can even use just the status bar from that theme if you don't like the entire theme.

Oh yes, I even sent this as a suggestion from the Poco launcher feedback form. I believe more of us should do this.

Thank you so much. This even added more toggles in the expanded status bar. Now I've 14+sort instead of just 11+sort.
By the way is there an option to change sound profile (sound/vibrate/silent) with the same button like with other android phones. The only way I can have VIBRATE ONLY is if I enable both the silent and vibrate toggle. Kinda stupid and annoying.

Yeah, I thought it was broken when i first saw it without number )))) Now, i'm used to it .... Although it feels empty, my OCD says it needs at least a black dot in it, if not number.

Since then I've updated to the MIUI 10 beta rom, it has % inside the battery logo, but there are some themes available to fix that so battery % is bigger and displayed beside/ instead of the battery icon...
Like this phone, Quick and not too bad. The theme I use has a black background that hides the notch well but displays the few icons we have there...
Hope you're enjoying your experience as some have had hardware issues that I haven't experienced.
Cheers...

The only bug (or is it a feature?) I found till now is the color of the navbar. It's now white (don't like it). Found no way to change it back as before (black background with white symbols) Tried it with the xpreia launcher and the nova launcher.

Did you get a white navbar too?
I think the white navbar icon with white background is not a bug, when you're doing something with your phone and you're not touching the navbar area, the icons in the navbar will fade to an off-white colour. But when you're doing something that involves even just touching the blank parts of the navbar area, the icons will show their true colours.
The real bug is actually the navbar icons are way too close to each other.

I don't think it's a bug, my navbar changes color depending on app. It does go white on Spotify which is all black so it looks bad, but on other apps it does change to black like messages, Twitter or anytime I use the keyboard. I'm guessing the app picks the color unless the app isn't updated so it defaults to white.

I don't know for sure, I read it on reddit.
I think I found a bug, when adjusting the incoming call volume in audio settings it plays the alarm sound and when adjusting the notification volume it plays the call sound. The correct sound plays when actually receiving a call
Yes pie ? was the latest release
---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ----------
Niceone sony. I think they are the 1st to release pie this year.
and crap, as usual my system update OTA is broken and fails to install on my H8296.
wonder if flashing a different region's firmware (initially went from Taiwan to India because the TW/HK updates are weeks behind) killed the mechanism. currently on DE and it hasn't made any difference for OTA. On to XperiFirm... Bother.

Emui 9 big notification panel

Greetings.
Ive updated my mate 9 to emui 9 a few days ago and i found that the swipe notification panel is very big rather than before and i made all the text and font on the smallest size and restarted the mobile with no hope.
Its really big that i cant see more than 3 notification specially if i swiped the whole list down.

If you have root, you can change display density from build.prop from vendor folder. I set 441, it is nice now.

Nope I've the original system. And it's weird as I've used some other mobile with android 9 (not mate9) and the icons were fine.
there is not a workaround to modify it without root this is fugly....

as i know there is a DPI setting in the developer mode
I've tried everything and even adjusted the DPI in the developer mode but nothing is changed in this notification panel … but everything else is getting small except the notification panel … i'm really frustrated.

You need to root and add qemu.sf.lcd_density=xxx to the vendor/build.prop if you want to shrink the systemUI.

Same here. The user interface looks really ugly now. The first thing I always do with my Mate 9 is to change the "Smallest width" in developer options to 520 db. Everything looks fine then except for the notification bar/panel and the navigation bar, which are muuuuch to big in comparison.
I much regret the update to Andoid 9 and even think about buying another phone. Root might be a solution, but what's about side effects like problems with banking apps etc?
Yes it's really annoying and wish that i can go back to android 8.
Same problem I think that this update is a beta version and it is not completed there are many problems like camera and music because I can t play music and open another application at the same time
I hope that Huawei post a new Updates for Mate 9
Since emui 9. I started to hate my phone. Because of this big notification panel. I guess ill be going back to xiaomi again. Much easier to have and customize. Jeeeez.

well i just froze the OP launcher and didn't change anything in nova settings. The apps are on top of each-other kind of view, which I prefer better. The only issue I have now is that the lock button is gone. I run some apps in background for a while, any way I can fix that?

Just tried with System UI tuner app but it's not that.
You may go to Settings -> Screen -> Statusbar icon manager (or something like that) and disable items on by one. If it is a system icon it will disappear after disabling an item. If not you should look for an installed app.
BTW, where did you get that nice background image?
