Hi,
I'm new to xda and have just bought H8. Really excited and happy about this phone. :good:
I have one question. I had Honor 5x before and it had a feature where I can assign a particular finger print to a shortcut. For example unlocking with my index finger would do a direct call to my home.
I don't see this feature in H8. I searched everywhere in settings including the smart key but of no help.
Any pointers? I really miss this nifty feature...
Hi, H8 doesn't have this feature, you can only answer call with fingerprint.

Thanks. Is there any other way around this. I am sure someone must have found out a way.
It was such a blessing in my Honor 5x.

What Android version do you have now? If I'm not mistaken, that feature was only present in EMUI 4.
Never saw it on my honor 8, just use the button as a shortcut

Emui 4.1 Android 6.0
I think it's not present on honor 8 due to that fps doubles as a button

Then I'm mistaken. :laugh: Most probably Huawei removed it to compensate for the smart key.

I think this feature wasn't available on Honor 8 even with Android 6.

Why not assign double click a smartkey to an app .
A triple click too ?
Is there triple click?!

Thanks. Double click on smart key can only open an app. But what I'm looking for is to assign a 'direct call' shortcut to it.

He said, there is only option to open Contacts not dial concrete one.
I investigated it and there is no way how to do it.

Well i found the same . Sorry OP . No more answers left
Found a way finally. This app can create shortcuts as individual apps. The shortcuts show up individually in your app drawer which means you can assign them as smart key functions! So now I can call my home with a single press of the smart key... :good:

Idk about that
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.
Hello everyone!
This is my first post on XDA
I found this on international variant of N7 Plus.
I'd like to share you a thing that I have found in settings menu. It's hidden and it's easy to dig it out :highfive:
Follow this steps:
1. Open settings app
2. Tap search
3. Type "navigation" or "fingerprint"
4. Tap Navigation Key of Fingerprint and Voila! Done!!
Let me know what you think. I found this thing randomly. Sorry if it is posted in wrong sub.
Now, is there an option to hide on screen navigation buttons?

Yeah same here. Disappointing for sure. Why would they remove this...
Also I spoke to Nokia about the lack of "homescreen auto add icon" option in their launcher and they said it would be passed to the development team to "consider" lol
I was really hoping we could hide the on screen navigation buttons!
Dang.
Hope we see it's comeback in June update. haha.
Right now y'all guys can try the XDA's navigation gestures app. It's pretty decent app and nice replacement

Yeah I tried it out, it's pretty nice, tho it's a little obsolete on this device, given that we can't hide the nav bar (at least, not that I'm aware of?)
With june update, this hidden function is back

Hi, I have an op6 and the gestures app. The issue is that every time you open an app full screen (a game for example or a call), returning for example to whatsapp and open the keyboard stops working the app (only when I have the keyboard displayed).
Any solution?
Thank you!

Maybe the oneplus original gestures? Why do you have installed an app when you've got gestures already there?

What do you need more than back recents and home in gestures? Btw, try another app instead of that one you're using
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.
Works perfect. Oreo

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!
Works perfect.
Broken link
Hi,
I see link to the apk if broken, i could not download the app.
Does this fix work also for P10 running EMUI 8.0 ?

The link is working for me, try downloading from another browser maybe. I have no idea if it will run on the P10 but it might. If it does please report back so we can share with P10 users too. ?
This apk is totally useless. It's a joke? The same you can get if you just go to the notifications.

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. ?
We can use Nova Launcher to create a shortcut that link to this Notification settings in this thread.

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.
Hello,
Mi A2 lite phones missing many feature's! Please add this all! 1. App lock system , 2. Call block (It was at first time), 3. Notch hide or fill for app, it can possible to solve? I am so boring to use this phones feature..
This is not an official Xiaomi forum. There are tweaks for what ur searching for!
to fill the notch, there's an app called *Nacho Notch*, it's very usefull and never had any problem.

two i know that do have it are nova/microsoft launchers,
