Dont know if to buy or not. - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

In thoughts to by an Mate 9 but have a few questions:
1) Is there a expanded desktop option on Huawei Mate 9?
2) Does Nova Launcher work well on the letest update on it?
3) I would appreciate if someone could post a screenshot with the View Mode on the smallest and the Font Size on the smallest? It is important for me to get the very small text you find in Lionage Os.
4) Hows it going with the release of the Kernal of the phone? Lineage Os?
5) How well have the camera worked on previous Huawei phones with custom roms, have they still been the same afterwards? I have experienced on three different phones that the camera went worse after installing Cyanogen Mod, Lineage Os...
6) How hard is it to port the camera app from Huawei to an custom rom?

I can't answer the custom rom and root questions, i can help you with the other stuff though.
1) No there isn't
2) It works amazingly well!
3) what do you want to screenshot me? The settings page with the font size or a specific app?
Sorry for not being able to answer everythinf, hope i still helped you a bit

If you want custom ROMs I'd advise you to find another device if not this is the whole package the best phone I have ever used and I've used most of them.

Great phone. My set up attached with google now swipe left and pixel launcher

What size do you use in view mode and font size on that picture?
Here is my OPO with smallest in both settings

I use custom DPI of 365 set in developer options.

Sorry for bumping a week old thread. Just wanted to let you guys know that you can actually hide the status bar up top. Download Tiles from the Play Store. It lets you add quick settings tiles for just about anything. There's one for immersive mode, where you can press the tile and it'll hide the status bar, navigation bar, system bar or a dialog for your choosing. I have it set so whenever I toggle the quick setting tile, it hides the status bar up top, which is what you are looking for. It works great.

Here is a pair of screenshots of the quick tiles from the app, and how it looks like without the status bar. Let me know if you need any help or have any other questions.

Thanks! The only thing left is a way to hide the Navi buttons in choosen apps, for an example chrome.

I want more quicklinks, same wallpaper at all tabs, without HDWall!

I've tried "Vovichek_Jamrecords_20shcut". It not only generated duplicated shortcut at start menu, but also disabled the wallpaper.
I've reviewed HDWall, but it is complicated for casual use.
Any other alternative?
I just want to:
1. add more quicklinks at home tab
2. display the same wallpaper at all tabs
btw, any way to make the task bar and bottom button bar transparent?
Thanks.
no one have idea?

My only suggestion would be to review your comment about HDWall, that "it is complicated for casual use." Just follow the steps on the thread on how to do it. It's eeeeeeasy! It makes a cab file that gives you exactly what you want - wallpaper on all tabs and the task bar and bottom bar transparent. (They're the default settings!!) Just make sure you get the latest version.

As for more quick links, the Vovichek_Jamrecords one works perfectly with HDWall.
Seriously - get over the fear of HDWall. It really is that simple!
Totally agree with the above. With Hdwall unless you're changing wallpaper every 5 minutes I don't see how it could be classed as complicated. I've made 5 new wallpapers today and now got them all on the phone ready to change as and when I'm bored of the current one. It's the time it takes for a cab install to change them. ie. a minute or so with a softreset.
im personally looking for something between hdwall and maxmanilla, any of that exists? i really like maxmanilla (maxtt?) but im really trown off by the fact that 'random' regions of the screen control the layout, id rather just have a menu somewhere (like maxmanilla 2.6 if not mistaken)
Any chance those two guys could work toghether to make a even better manilla replacement? just a thought

I would like to use HDwall but I don't know how to start the program. HDWall.exe doesn't work on my computer. I get an error report : the application failed to initialize properly ... It doesn't work on HD2 either. Please help...

is there an automated wallpaper changer that works on HD2?
Tried AntWorks Auto Wallpaper Changer but it doesn't work on the Sense interface.

cleanest way to get notification icons

what is the best way to show missed calls \ sms etc in the home page. or in the notification toolbar
the less stuff I need to install around it, the better
I would prefer not install max manilla really.
and if I had to, then I dont want it to change the look on my HD2
regards
Just use Co0kie's Home tab it shows missed called etc with minimal change of the homescreen, use the search function to find the thread hope this helps ^^
it increase number of shortcus (makes them smaller).
also it changes few things in the layout which i dont like much

do you mean you aren't getting missed call/sms in the notification toolbar?

You can turn off all the things that change the layout so that it looks exactly the same as default. Everything in Co0kie's home tab is optional.
I dont have notification in the top bar,
it would be nice if I can see all the changes in one place really, ideally the lock screen but I dont want S2U2.
I could not find a way to revert cookie home tab to 3x3

Sorry mate - my bad. The next release, which is imminent, will have 3x3 back, as well as number of quicklink pages, so you don't have to have the left and right ones (if you don't want them).
so there is no easy way to see
missed calls\ new sms
in convenient one location?

Notifications on navbar

Hey guys. After I saw some pics of the new note edge, I came to a idea: wouldn't it be great if we could have notifications on the navbar?
I wonder if there's any module of xposed installer that would allows us to have something like that? Or perhaps a mod?? If so, where can I find it?
Thanks a lot for the attention
Perhaps if you describe some more details of your idea someone may pick the project and code it.
Where would you place them? How would you interact with them?
Let's say that you wouldn't interact, just scrolling /showing in the navbar,.
There's one project already called: xtended navbar which turns your navbar into three pages : one for the virtual buttons, another for media buttons, and another for quick settings. Perhaps by removing the quick settings, and change it into something like what I've just described.
Does this make any sense to you?
Ie : let's say that you're watching a movie or playing a game and you receive a notification, and you just wanna know what made you phone ring or vibrate. Then the notification would show up in the navbar, by making some text scrolling up in one page of the navbar.
I know that I can always enable heads-up, but I thought in something more small and useful.
Btw : once you clean the notification from the status bar it would be gone from the navbar as well.
Hope you got the idea.
Thanks a lot for the attention

Possible solution to some recent questions...

Some folks have mentioned looking for ways of locking screen and other functions without using the hardware buttons. Several new feature options have accomplished this for me and maybe others can profit from this combination. In the Themes section there is a mod to bring back the 2 button nav bar. Here is the link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-4-xl/themes/magisk-module-bring-android-pie-2-t4002831
Combine that with the recently added option in -Accesibility- to add the nav bar button by enabling the Accessibility Menu and it created a clean looking setup that is rapidly growing on me. Clearly it's not for everyone but that's why XDA is here... Fun and options. Lol. This is what it looks like.
can we have this as a floating icon on the screen?

Doesn't seem so. Looks like it functions like a bottom version of the top quick links and with bigger buttons.

How do I disable or hide the clock on my Kindle Paperwhite 3 Status bar on top

Hi all
I'd like to hide or disable the clock on the home page status bar. https://pasteboard.co/JgD014U.png
I couldn't find any relevant option in the settings. Perhaps there's another way to get into the device and hide the clock?
Thanks

Good decision as 8-9 lines of codes is removed saves juice also less distracted from screen...
Go under AA font menu there it should be among layout options

Sorry mate that's not the option to disable the clock on status bar.
I think it needs some kind of jailbreaking the device to achieve what I want to do.

Sorry I implied while reading books ... That default also saves battery + you cannot tweak Kindle environment or else you are doomed ... (Ask Kindle Developer Yourself) Mobilereads
You better go with KO reader options I'm haven't exited for very long ?
