How do I display weather on lock screen? - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

I come from Windows phone and I get to chose which apps show on lock screen
I remember Android had something similar. I have an honor 8 now
Trying to make yahoo weather the lock screen. Not just yahoo but anything else too. Not working even though I read a tutorial. Is it even possible to open an app from lock by swipe left, right, up or down like other Android? Not talking about finger print smart key.
I have magazine lock screen with yahoo weather set to lock screen in notifications with priority and everything else on. Still not working. Any idea?

I was under the impression that that capability was done away with in Lollipop and later for security reasons?

Is it just an emui restriction or Android? Any chance it will be in emui 5?

xposed work well on stock android, emui supports xposed too but with limited modules..about emui5, its based on nougat , so no xposed for nougat yet..

Isn't there a option to do so in the lockscreen settings?

Couldn't find. They have a magazine theme style theme for emui now where if your on lock screen you can swipe up from bottom of screen to reveal some notification tools like wifi, NFC, LTE, and play pause button but no way to show weather or change lock screen to that of an app or open an app from screen by swiping only

What I found is that running Xposed on EMUI was that it would break my dialer. I did a little research and found it to be a known issue.

Hi, i don't know about EMUI 4.0 but i'm using Nova Launcher Beta under EMUI 5.0, i did'nt find any other solution.
It might be hidden and accessible with root access, but it's not a stock feature on the Mate 9.

Nova Launcher Beta 5.0-beta10
Nova Settings
Gestures and actions
Gestures -> Double Tap = Lock Screen
and unlock screen with fingerprint not before 10/15 sec, i don't know why there is a latence of 10/15 secondes.
When double tapping it asked me if i wanted to give Nova Launcher admin rights, i said no, since if you authorize admin rights you won't be able to use fingerprint for unlocking.
Nova developer Kevin answered to me about this and said that this is a known issue and for the time being there is a work around only for those who are rooted.
So imo it's only a matter of time to get it fixed.
But Kevin is proposing that if we go to Google Play Store and purchase "Screen Lock Pro" we can use it as a work around, i did it and within Nova settings Gestures instead to make "lock screen" action as a result of double tap you ask to launch "Screen Lock Pro", but i wasn't satisfied with the result so i went back to the latence of 10/15 secondes that doesn't annoy me.
But i found that during this 10/15 seconds navigation icons at the bottom of the screen are still visible and if you tap the square one when it is visible you can come back to the unlocked screen, if you wait for the delay of 10/15 secondes you'll have to unlock with the fingerprint which is good.
I don't know if my explanations are clears but using it is very easy, very fast and very safe, good luck.

What's Huawei GX8 MM_6.0.1 ? is it a Mate 9 ?
Huawei G8 or GX8 is an another model phone with Marsmallow 6.0.1 EMUI 4.0
http://s3.amazonaws.com/digitaltrends-uploads-prod/2016/01/huawei-gx8.jpg
On this model phone, when Double Tap is enable, I can see clock without using Power button.
I just want to do that with Double Tap on Mate 9.
It's unfortunate that EMUI 5 doesn't offer this possibility
Tried to find a way... Doesn't work. At least I can't find a way to turn the screen ON when the screen is turned off and the phone locked.

I'm using "Nova Launcher Licence" which is called "Nova Launcher Prime" (5,25 €) on Google Play store, does it make the difference, i believe that it should offer more possibilities.
Yeap it does, here under are the description on Google Play for Nova Launcher Prime :
Nova Launcher Prime
Unlock the following extras by purchasing Nova Launcher Prime
• Gestures - Swipe, pinch, double tap and more on the home screen to open your favorite apps
• Unread Counts - Never miss a message. Unread count badges for Hangouts, SMS, Gmail and more using the TeslaUnread plugin
• Custom Drawer Groups - Create new tabs or folders in the app drawer
• Hide Apps - Keep a clean app drawer by hiding never used apps
• Icon Swipes - Set custom actions for swiping on app shortcuts or folders
• More scroll effects - Such as Wipe, Accordion, and Throw
Nova Launcher Prime acts as a license to unlock these features in the free Nova Launcher App. You will need to install Nova Launcher first.

Agreed... but the double tap isn't working on my side to turn the screen on when the phone is off or locked it. Is it working for you? If yes, please provide me how you did that... as it only works to shut the screen off for me.
Thnx!
PS: i have the license (been using Nova for over 2 years now) and also in the Beta.
The launcher can't wake your device from sleep. The double tap actions in Nova are for when you're interacting with the launcher eg. on your home screen.

No it doesn't work this way and for me it's better like this, allowing turning the screen on with double tap is allowing anybody to access to your mobile, i personaly doesn't find too hard to unlock with fingerprint, even when the mobile is sitting on the desk.

Ok thats what i thought. turning on the screen with double tap on your desk doesn't let people access your phone when locked just let's you input your pin or pattern faster, instead of picking it up. It's really a little detail for comfort on my side as my phone is most of the time in front of me on my desk.
Thanks anyhow.

Live Wallpaper in Lock Screen on EMUI 5 (Nougat)?

When I first got my Honor 8 in November 2016, when it was running Marshmallow, I was able to use Muzei Live Wallpaper for both desktop and lock screen. This looked great and made the whole experience seemless.
After signing up and downloading the update to EMUI 5 through the BETA scheme, that option had disappeared and I was stuck with pics from the gallery or the Magazine Unlock as backgrounds to my Lockscreen. I had logged this as a bug through the beta program, hoping that it would be sorted out before the final release. After updating to the final release for EMUI 5, it seems that the option is still missing, OR am I not seeing where to go to set it?
It now just looks dis-jointed having different pics on display after I unlock the phone, or worse, going from a static picture to a different live wallpaper that might have movement.
Is anyone else able to have a live wallpaper on their lockscreen as well as their desktop?
I can set live wallpaper on desktop, but not lockscreen.

Sorry but having a live wallpaper as lock screen is not possible on any huawei device if you are not using a third party lock screen app.

You can on Marshmallow with the Honor 8. You just have to set the lockscreen to match the homescreen.

I found out that it's switching in lock screen. You need pull bottom shutter and press left "play" button and uncheck "favorite" center button.

configure customizable button

Hello is it possible to configure the customizable button Honor 8 (button behind the fingerprint sensor) as we see fit, what I want to say is that I want to configure it so that a support corresponds to the change of the music . Thank you
In EMUI 5 u cannot
And in EMUI 8?

You could probably try to use a third-party app to configure it (somehow like what people did with the Bixby button on Galaxy devices).
I had the same problem and posted this. Check it out. Hope it helps your need.

You can do in custom ROM. However for stock you can try All-one-Gestures app from Play Store.

Double Tap screen on/off app need

Kindly help me out by providing an app or trick to to use double tap screen on or off to use it on my Honor Play.
Tried plenty from play store but non work perfectly
None will work unless you root your phone. It's the android version (7 and up) that's preventing it, not EMUI specifically. Unless, Huawei/Honor adds it as a feature, you got not no luck on having it (not perfectly). I tried this several times as well since my previous Asus Zenfone supports this feature (but only for the default launcher) but I really haven't found anything.
There is a widget that locks your screen when you press it... Just add it to bottom bar of your home screen!
It comes as part of emui system

Yep. but only for the default launcher. it can't be added if you have a different launcher. in my case, Nova.

App Notifications [APP] Change any notification sound for any app, EMUI 8.1

I'm sharing another Tasker made app with one simple purpose: get you into the hidden App Notifications menu so you can change notification sounds. As many of you know this menu is not accessible through system settings. There are many methods of accessing it, including Nova, Tasker, or other shortcut managers but they all require work and a bit of knowledge. This app makes it simple for anyone. Even advanced users may find it handy.
It does not require root or any special privilege. Simply launch the app to enter the App Notification menu. This accesses the built in Android notification management system and is simply the best way to manage your notification settings.
Please hit thanks if you find it useful ?
(Because of the nature of this workaround it will only work on the official EMUI 8.1 release for now. No custom ROM or beta support, sorry. Once I've updated to 9 I'll share the new fix if necessary. I have Canadian L04 model though and updates happen here slowly)
Not working for me (P20 Pro EMUI 9 Beta). App doesn't launch when tapped.

I don't have 9 yet but I'd assume you'll find it in settings under Notifications where it should be. AFAIK it was unintentionally left out in 8.1 which is why we had trouble. If it's included in 9 a simple search through settings should reward you. ?
Works perfect, thanks!

Apparently you do not understand what we're trying to accomplish. You cannot change notification sounds in the menu you refer to in EMUI 8, only turn them off. But there is a secret hidden menu that allows to change any notification sound for any app you like. It may look similar to the one you are thinking of but if you know what you're doing it is very different, there are far more options available. You cannot get to this menu by any other means than sending an intent, whether via command, a shortcut from a launcher or an app like I've shared. Trust me, there is a purpose for this or I wouldn't have so many thanks for it already. But if you're okay with having the same notification sound for every single app on your phone that's cool too. Whatever floats your boat. ?

You can use Nova Launcher to do this, yes. Other methods all involve installing a shortcut creation app of some kind and finding the correct settings entry. This app is for people who do not use Nova or would prefer a simple method with the hard work done for them. It's a pain digging through all those settings entries if you don't need to. ?

This app saved my sanity after switching from a LG G5 to the P20 Pro. Many thanks!
I'm sorry, but to change the sound for any app I go to config/applications/aplications/ choose the application I want then manage notification then sound and choose what I want... Using pie with a L29. I came from a custom pie rom on an oneplus 2 and, as i remember, I use to do it like that also... Did I missed something? Sorry about my English.
