Honor 8 screen cast - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hey,
Im looking for screencast function to cast on tv, but I cant find it. So how can I be able to do it?

It's mirror share. You can find it in your toggles.

Anyone get this to work with FireTV? Tried that plus a few other apps and they aren't recognizing each other?

How do you get the mirror get in the short cut menu. Currently, my phone do not show this as an option.

This made it worth signing up on XDA-Developers. I've been banging my head for about a month trying to find this setting!

Change Apps in Home Screen Bottom Dock

On my captivate there are four apps on the bottom of all home screens: Phone, Email, Browser, and Apps.
Any way I can change it? It doesnt seem to be accessible/customizable.
I havent found a way yet either....so doesn't seem possible.

Yep, I figured it out. Follow this:
1. From the Home screen select "Applications"
2. Menu> View Type> Customizable Grid
3. Menu> Edit
You can now slide any App down to the bottom dock. You can even change it back to "Alphabetical Grid" and it will still save the Apps on the dock.
thank you sir!

No problem
Is anyone having success with Launcher Pro replacing touchwhiz?
I really prefer launcher pro over touchwiz. Are you asking how to change the buttons on the dock in launcher pro? If so, just hold down one of the little +'s until the menu opens up and go from there.
on a related note, is there a way to remove the different pre-loaded AT&T applications from the phone? there are a number that seem useless given other apps out there that do the same thing but better, but i can´t seem to figure out how to delete them.
keep your finger on the icon you want to move a second longer than normal (if you have your phone on vibrate, it will buzz) then you can move them around the screen as many or as much as you like. You can also drag them into a bin which will appear in the bottom of the screen. This action doesn't delete the app or icon, it just reappears in the apps page. Very easy but took me ages to work it out. So simple. Have fun

Just slide your finger down when on home screen. Start from the center or just above it. Don't start from top otherwise you'll open the notification panel.

Lock Screen Wallpaper

Anyone figure this one out yet? I have been scratching my head trying to be able to change mine. I followed some guys instructions on Reddit, but that didn't work for me. Wondering if anyone else had figured it out.

Can you post a screenshot? I'm just curious at this point. There's also access to some settings from the lock screen.
Edit: disregard, it just goes to system settings or Nagar settings.

Here's how to change it:
Long press on an empty area of the home screen
At the bottom, choose "Lockscreen Wallpaper"
Make your selection
Hit "Set For LockScreen Wallpaper"

Do you have the phone? If so your phone is different than mine. I don't have a lockscreen wallpaper option.

nope.
The lockscreen wallpaper is kind of annoying, but the persistent "This device is HD capable" notification is driving me out of my mind.

He's using the stock launcher. If you switch back to that, you can change the lock screen wallpaper with a long press on the homescreen.

If you uncheck the Enhanced 4G LTE mode option on mobile network settings that notification will dissappear.

Unfortunately, I didn't (well, at least not for what you're seeing in that screenshot). If you visit plus.google.com in Chrome, it offers to put a link to the site on your home screen. So, that icon just opens the web version of Google+. I did install Google+ earlier today, but because I had to sign it myself to remove the conflicting permissions (it conflicts with the improperly built Gallery app), Google's servers rejected the client. IMO, the only chances we have of getting a working Google+ installed are 1) if the phone is rooted, then we should be able to replace the Gallery app with a non-broken one, or 2) Lenovo needs to fix it. Option 2 might happen by accident if they ever decide to release Android 7.
Looks like you can only change the lock screen wallpaper to a static picture, no live wallpapers unfortunately. On other phones you can.
Also, I can install and use Google+ just fine it seems, perhaps because I installed their latest December update.

My stock launcher somehow become corrupted, every second, I get "Unfortuantely Launcher has stopped working". It was a ***** to get to the Google Play store between saying, "ok" and having the message pop again in 1 second. So I was able to get into Play store and install another Launcher that is near the original Launcher_3. However, it does not have that LockScreen Walpaper mode.
I don't know how to fix and reinstate the original launcher. Even after trashing and reinstalling it, it still doesn't work.
Any insight?

Cinema Library App Disappeared

Hello,
I noticed that my Cinema Library app is gone, my shortcut disappeared from home screen and can't find it anywhere. In Cinema Pro I can still access it but there is no stand alone version anymore. This is very annoying because now I have to enter Cinema Pro to access movies and projects. Anyone having this issue or is it just me?
Nobody...?

Hello,
Thank you for your reply.
Doesn't work for me, when touch holding Cinema Pro icon I get only app info. The thing is that before I had Cinema Library as a separate app and now it is gone.

Thank you very much, it seems I have a bug or something.
I had the same issue before but it randomly worked after a few days. Maybe you should wait it out?
In any case, it's a Sony app and they should be aware of it.
Go to Settings - Support - Contact Us and provide feedback.

Question How can I remove this from home Screen?

Wondering if someone can please help me to remove this circle area. I don't really want that on home screen. I could rather use widget.
It is not possible without root or another launcher.

Yes you can, this has been posted and explained here before not too long ago. You need to be rooted and if I'm correct use the xposed framework

Exactly , I was about to post that screenshot to ask lol. Just received 7 pro a hour ago and was setting it up. Thanks bud.
As an alternative, you can just set up another home screen without At A Glance.
Lawnchair or nova your best bet
I used Niagara for a couple of days and paid for the full version this morning. Love the 'empty' screen!
Please tell me how to remove this information from the locked screen? a flashlight also appears instead of the date ((very annoying. There are no lock screen settings in AOSP.

Are you using a Pixel 7?
Your best bet for fixing the flashlight issue is to probably install a Pixel Launcher, stock or modded and customize your At A Glance settings. As for the lock screen weather, not so sure you can turn that one off.

I installed the standard pixel, turned off everything that was possible, the flashlight disappeared, but I can’t remove the date and weather. phone pixel 7 pro
Home Settings >> At a Glance >> See more features >> Disable Weather.
Unfortunately, I am not sure how to remove the date. My apologies there.

It was the same on my 4XL. It's nuts that they put that on the homescreen. Every morning when I turn the phone on, I have to swipe left to get to the homescreen I want to use. I don't want to root, or change the launcher. Back in the day, I was able to choose the homescreen page I wanted.
