App Drawer Issue

Hello folks! I recently updated my phone to MHA-L09C45B102 and i have an issue with the app Drawer, no icons! They dont appear when i choose this option, but when i put the "Classic" Huawei UI, all the apps are there. Anyone knows what happened or what should I do? I dont have it rooted, and i havent unlocked the bootloader, its as stock as i bought it.
Thanks!
Clear data for huawei home launcher.
Already did that and the issue is still there, maybe i should factory restore the phone :crying:

You can try resetting the settings first,and reset apps preferences.

[Problem] EMUI Themes doesn't work or better no changing

Hi everybody,
I have a little problem with my 6X (BLN-L21C432B360) and I didn't find the solution for it. After a longer time I try to change my theme, but nothing happend. I try it with an 'free' hwt-file and with a theme from the 'theme-store' and nothing works. After that I checked the settings and I didn't found anything that helps. Next step was a factory reset, with restore the apps and some data of the apps and the display layout. Didn't help. Last try was a reinstall the B360 Firmware and check again all settings. At the end it didn't work. If I choose a theme, and I press 'apply' the screen would be renew, but there is no change to the new choosen theme.
Has someone the same problem, or better does someone knows the solution for that problem ? I think it is a 'hidden' permission, that I don't found.
An idea was, to reinstall the themes or EMUI app, but I didn"t found an apk file.
Thanks for our help.

Hi, did you already tried to use EMUI themes factory app available on Play Store? It's an alternative themes engine for custom themes, maybe it could work... Anyway, i just extracted my EMUI themes apk file. I have a BLN-L21xxxx360 too, so if you'd like to try a reinstall, i leave in attachments the apk (even if i don't think that the problem will be solved this way)
Thanks, the first fast try with the attachment said that the file is brocken....why ever. The other way, the EMUI themes factory store isn't show in my Play Store, or I didn't find him.....
Broken? Dammit, on my phone works... I already faced this problem with an other Huawei app some time ago, the compass. Seems like extracting apks from Huawei stock roms doesn't always works so... Can't figure out why, since that if there was some kind of copyright or protection in their apps, the apks extracted shouldn't work at all, neither on my phone. Try follow this link to go on Huawei themes factory https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.emuithemesfactory.emuithemesfactory to me the app is shown
@RedSkull23
no change.....
I install the app, download a theme, press 'apply', restart my phone.....and it didn"t work.
What I find out, if I use the customize button ( I hope that is the right word for it, because my system language is not english). It shows that the theme change is made. He shows for both, lock screen wallpaper and Icons the new theme. When I try to change the lockscreen wallpaper and the icons manuel nothing happend.
Changing the wallpaper of the homescreen and the lock screen via the system setting works wonderfull.
Wow... That's f****** weird. At this point i dunno what it'd be. The data restore after the wipe of the data could not help if the error was in data files, but the reinstallation of the firmware theoretically should had fixed that... one last thing so: did you gave access to "phone" permission at the themes app? It couldn't work without that permission because Hw themes checks your IMEI, try to look if the themes app owns that permission from
Settings-> apps-> themes-> authorizations
I checked the permissions of the theme app. There are three things. All of them are given. No changes.....
How about installing an older version of EMUI themes (just the previous version) and see if it changes any thing
I try one thing. I made a factory reset of my device with no restore. The naked phone (without Google or any apps), I try to switch the theme and it didn't work. So now I think that my Firmware ROM has the problem. I thinkk the best way would be an rollback to an older Firmware and then an upgrade to the actually version.

If even an older version suffers that bug i think that too. Try even that method, if nothing will change start to consider the idea of switching to an other firmware compatible with your phone

That seems the only solution
So, I made a complete rollback to B130 via B300. After that, I try the themes and it works. Then I made the update (back) to B360 and then the themes work.
Thanks to everybody for the help.

Very bizarre because coming back on B360, that should contain the same files of the previous B360, should make represent the issue but finally you've solved the problem and that's what matters.

Just make sure you backup your data even if it won't erase it, just to be safe in case something happened

I have FRD-L04 and mine is full stock with no root and a locked bootloader.

Reflashing stock firmware will solve the issue, I guess.
Just be sure to backup your data

yea, before i unlocked bootloader and installed magisk i was on pure stock and installed this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.perfectapps.muviz
after i used it, took some settings, deinstalled it my mini-view was broken.. then i made factory reset and all was good again...
but now i have magisk and applied all my app and userdata backups from old phone.
... in the next days i try to flash system only and try to inform myself (and you ofcause) if flashing system partition will harm in any kind my files, settings, etc.
thanks guys so far.
maybe there is some other trick to bring this function back

Ok, we'll wait for your response
so, i managed to get myself to the "mini-view option screen" by entering the (from playstore downloaded) activity manager and there i startet the correct activity.
since my could not find this point in my settings i had to go that way.
see screenshot.
http://imgur.com/Q1Mxq42
so the function was enabled, is disabled and re-enabled it. nothing. still no swipe for mini-view
disable it, restart, enable, restart still does not work....
is there a way to find out why this is like that?
can someone maybe check the code, what this switch actually do to a system file, so maybe i can take a look inside mine and change -a number for example- by myself?
reflash anything to my phone is the last way i guess... that cant be the only option.

U can do that easily by swiping on middle button to recents button on navigation bar. Works on both sides.

He mentioned that it's stuck (meaning swiping doesn't work for him)
But does the touch work on navigation bar?

the touch works without problems.
i just think that the navbar-app i installed earlier somehow broke this feature for me.
i dont want to say "please guys (n girls) try this on your honor 8 and see if it breaks the feature on your phone, too."
i think the app changed some settings which were accessible without root-permissions and my honor 8 can't change these settings back...
but if someone maybe plans to backup his/her system.img and is free to try the app and if it breaks this feature it maybe help.
so that i can say if it is really the app fault.
maybe someone knows the file in the phone where the variables for the mini-view are stored to change/check it all manually?!
thanks so far
new info:
i extracted system.img from latest update.zip (update.app) and flashed it via twrp. after that i wiped dalvic and cache and booted the phone.
mhm.. nothing changed =/
all settings stayed the same, swipe to mini-view still not working....
anyone know in which partition the systemsettings are stored ?
I don't know in which partition they are.
I'll search
[problem solved]
problem solved!
i just got into
Settings>
advanced settings>
restore/backup>
reset all settings
not the nice way i guess, but it did the trick and now i'm able again to use mini-view (and have the slider back in settings again)

Settings keeps stopping

Hello fellows
Sorry for my poor English in advance,
Since I installed the new system update I'm having a problem that whenever I go in display settings exactly I instantly get kicked out to the home page with the "settings keeps stopping" popping up. You should know that I installed the update while my phone is rooted and I used to have rooted themes as well. My phone was unrooted after the update but I got it rooted again now.

I'm assuming you are using substratum for theming. The applied theme might be causing settings to crash.

Can't be 100% sure the theme's causing it to crash. Process of elimination is probably the way to go IMO.
