I was meaning to make this thread and forgot all the questions I had.
I'll start with one, does the CM rom have dual sim function?

I can't seem to find the data usage in settings unless miui removed it?

i think your battery is empty before that happens
Found this on ars technica site:
Actually it's physically impossible for an LCD to get screen burn - that refers to the phosphorous coating on old CRTs where the electron beam actually burnt away the coating... (which is technically reversible, however I doubt it would be economically feasible and requires specialist equipment)
LCDs suffer from a something similar - which is called image persistence, a static image causes a parasitic capacitance to build up which prevents the liquid crystal molecules from returning to their normal relaxed state. The good news is that it's reversible and can be performed by an end user.
It can usually be recovered by displaying a full white screen and depending on the severity of the persistent image it can be recovered in as little as an hour...
Also due to the nature of IPS panels they tend to suffer the image persistence problems sooner than other LCD panels. Modern laptops shouldn't suffer from image ghosting (not at a hardware level anyway) - on older panels is was caused by slow refresh rates and panel response times (The old cursor submarining on Apple PowerBook 140s spring to mind). Extremes in temperatures can cause ghosting or panel lethargy in older panels - most modern panels have impressive temperature ranges...

I guess I can install the nav bar mod without worrying about screen burns then

Yes

I did install soft buttons last week but it wasn't transparent where aosp based roms are and was worried about screen burns so removed it

But on other phones they are often also not transparent

Example being the desktop, its transparent and some apps also have it transparent

Yes, but before Android KitKat almost all nav bars were black

Yea I know that, just want it to mimic nexus method

Is there any app that can assign long press actions to Tue capacitive keys? I need long press menu/recents button launch last app. Sadly miui doesn't have this. I know cm rom has it but need it on miui rom.

To answer original question, yes, dual sim works well. You assign which sim to use for outgoing calls or to ask you every time which sim to use. same with sms. For data you assign one sim.
The one sim that is primary can use 3g, lte, while the secondary uses 2g (from what i have observed).

Hello, are there any Mi4c users using CDMA/Evdo Rev. A networks? I'm using CDMA networks but the data connection not working at all neither through CDMA or Evdo Rev. A or even LTE, but the sms & voice working normal. Has anyone facing the same problem? Maybe has solution to it?
Thanks.

Anyone else have issues with the alarm not ringing in the morning, after the phone haven't been used for 6-8 hours during the night? I'm currently using Sleep as Android as my alarm app and I've set the alarm to ring every morning, but it never does. I assume this is because of MiUI's memory optimization, which causes it to shutdown the app during the night and therefore the alarm won't ring when I've set it to.
I've tried looking for an option to customize/turn off the memory optimization for certain apps, but I can't seem to find any option for this. Anyone experienced the same issues and have any solution to it, because the alarm is kinda necessary for me ^^

Well the default alarm works fine for me and I'm on build 5.11.5

Default alarm app works fine for me too

Hm, alright.. maybe I should try to use the default alarm and see if it works. You don't have any ideas of why Sleep as Android isn't working? I have tried to set the alarm during the day when I'm constantly using the phone and then the alarm is working perfectly, so it seems like the phone is doing something during the night that turns off the app.
Thanks for your answers.

Is there any way of preventing the miui CD mounting when connecting to PC with USB?

Double tap to wake

have this feature for honor 8?
How?
maybe root needed?

Not truly possible. There are apps (that don't need root) but you end up A) killing your battery life and B) losing or at least decreasing the functionality of unlocking other ways like with the fingerprint scanner.

You can try this and see if it works lol
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/enable-double-tap-to-wake-t3312676

Just a bit off topic: What do you think causes the 10 buck flip-case that Honor sells to cause the phone to wake and sleep? Is it magnetic, or just using some sensor it uncovers? I got one with the phone and it works great, and there appears to not be anything magnetic inside it, or even a piece of ferric metal.
Anyway: Whatever it is that allows that must be very low power because there is next to no drain (especially on the b360 OS I installed today) when it's closed. Nothing appears to be setting around sucking up power awaiting the incredible event of the cheapo case opening or closing. There is a setting for it in the settings, but I've no idea what the settings changes. Actually I suspect that link in @Saythis post could work.

you can try some xposed modules but the battery will drain faster

Not possible for now, the honor 8 kernel doesn't support it

You can try to follow instructions from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...ide-how-to-enable-double-tap-to-wake-t3426809 . This is for Huawei P9 Lite, but the script of Kernel, i think is the same. The only inconvenience is you must root your phone.

As always on XDA and with any modification, ROM, Kernel, etc. the risk is up to the user. I tried it and couldn't get it to work so I suppose the Honor 8 has a missing module/driver for it in its kernel.

EMUI supports it regardless of the kernel. The kernel doesn't need to be identical on both devices, it simply needs to have the module/driver to keep the screen capacitive when the pixels are off for DT2W. The display also has to be able to remain capacitive while the pixels are off. So no, the kernels don't need to be identical. There's a hardware requirement as much as there's a software (kernel support and OS support) requirement.

The Honor 8 doesn't support the use of double tap to wake, you could just use the fingerprint scanner on the back to wake it. Which is super fast!

Depends on your perspective. I'd like the tap to wake function if I had my handset on the desk while I was working rather than have to pick it up to check for messages, emails or miss calls.

Do you guys not have the "wake on notifications" setting ? That wakes it for any notification (or it does as I've got it set on b360 right now, but it worked on b320 as well).
Also, I mentioned before that the 10 buck flip case turns on the screen and I can't even find a piece of magnetic metal in that cheap case, so it might be using some sensor and there is a setting for it also in the settings. (case-on == on). Gotta be a way between these things.
I was wrong about the magnet: I found it using a paper clip and it is the lower half of the screen-facing area on the honor8. It's a "slight" magnetism and apparently the settings switch enables it's detection. I was hoping it was using a different type of sensor that we could spoof.

Try "Glance Plus" from Google Play. I use it on my H8 and it works just the way I want.
Wave hand over proximity sensor to check for messages, missed calls, date, time and battery status, it's configurable. To wake up your phone, double tap on screen.
Can't give you a link, I'm a new user, but find it at Google Play!

The glance is a better Idea for me

I will definately look into that! Sounds like a great way to check the notifications without having to use the fingerprint scanner.

EMUI quirks and annoyances

I’ve used stock or (virtually stock) Android phones for years. My last properly skinned phone was a Samsung Galaxy s II. So using EMUI on this phone has been interesting. There is a lot that I like, but here I’ll describe a few annoying quirks I’ve noticed, plus any partial-solutions I use. Hopefully this will inform perspective and current P20 owners, but also, if you have a solution to any of these problems, do let me know!
- The settings menu is terrible. They have messed with it so much, and added so many settings, that it is often impossible to find what you’re looking for. The solution is to search, which, thankfully, works well.
- The lock screen wallpaper changes every time you unlock the phone. I feel like an idiot, but I can’t work out how to set my own (single!) wallpaper. There are these collections which you can choose between, and then from the lock screen itself you can favourite wallpapers from the collection (not sure what this does) and pause on a wallpaper from the collection, and it looks like you can add your own collections, but this doesn’t seem to work. There MUST be a work around. All I want is the same wallpaper on my lock and home screen!
- Notification content (including media controls) is always hidden on the lockscreen until you authenticate, regardless of the app setting. This seems to be a bug. Setting up face unlock (and swipe to unlock) at least means you can see your lock screen with notification content when at a face-unlock-friendly angle.
- The double tap vol down to launch camera works fine, except when I’m listening to music, when it just turns down the music. No idea why they don’t give this functionality to the lock button like most OEMs.
- Unlock by voice for Google Assistant doesn’t seem to work. I’ve had this problem on other phones so don’t know if I’d blame Huawei. It responds to ‘OK Google’ from screen off (which is better than my OnePlus) but won’t actually unlock.
- The always on display is a bit weak. It doesn’t even properly show notifications.
Anything to add? What EMUI quirks have you found?

I have sometimes problems with starting my spotify automatically when connecting a bluetooth device, I think a sleep mode problem. Another bug is the one with updating widgets. My calendar widget f.e. crashes after a time. found a workaround with "your calendar widget".
But I think all in all its a great phone with great features

You can find this setting in 'Security & privacy' - 'Screen lock & passwords'
=> 'Update covers' to enable and disable it and 'Covers' to choose the pictures to show

EMUI has made me fall back in love with OxygenOS - the way EMUI treats notifications and the lock screen is diabolical. If I unlock my Oneplus 3 but don't read a notification, I can lock it again and the notification remains on the lock screen. The notifications span the whole screen, and work perfectly.
Also, Spotify on OxygenOS uses album cover art as lock screen wallpaper when playing, similar to how EMUI treats the local Music app.

This gonna be a debate for eternity.
People who come from xiaomi or samsung wont feel too awkward with emui,
Different case if you come from AOSP, or Oxygen or LOS.
Best solution is slapping NOVA launcher as soon as you use the phone.

I've used several Huawei phones now, in fact since the Mate 8 they've tended to be my main phones through most of the year (I still try others, but tend to come back for the battery life and cameras, granted the cameras have not been as good as competitors but the camera systems are more fun to me as a person with an amateur interest in photography and I've taken a lot of shots I don't think I could have got from the others). The P8Max was my first, and the UI/OS was a bit of a dogs breakfast - so many things were broken (many due to trying to increase battery longevity) and many other things required complex workarounds beyond installing Nova which I've had on each of them. It's pretty well fine now, but if you're coming from Samsung or others it's very different and will take a bit of time to adjust to - particularly the level of granular control you have on things affecting battery life. Once you get a handle on it you'll probably end up appreciating a lot of what it offers.

Google Assistant works fine but it makes conflict with Huawei voice control (so turn off one of them)
Double tap volume down to launch camera is a great idea but why the hell it does not work when players or different apps are in the background.....

Hi there!
Setting your own lockscreen carousel:
Settings>security & privacy>screen lock & passwords>magazine unlock>subscriptions>added by me>add>choose image
You can create your own cycle of wallpapers.
In themes App make sure you set me>customize>lock screen style>magazine unlock

I wish adjusting the volume on Bluetooth headphones adjusted the master volume like on all previous phones I've had instead of acting like an in-line control.

Hi how do you get rid of double tap on home screen it's do annoying it's a short cut to access latest apps that have used I have Nova Which is excellent and I'm coming from a Samsung S7 to a P20 pro please help !!

To enable or stop scrolling wallaper just swype from the bottom on the lockscreen and you will see Pause button at the left. if you press that, the scrolling will be disabled and a "play" icon will remain.

I've debloating quite a lot from emui.
Installed swap torpedo
Runs faster now and battery lasts longer.
Huawei should offer a vanilla update.
Last time I saw so much bloat was on Samsung.
Unnecessary.

EMUI was one of the reasons I ditched my P10 after 6 months, went back to an iPhone, then to a Nokia 5...
Have any of the roms developed for the P20 done away with EMUI otherwise this device will be another one i'll have to remove from the list of potential upgrades.

Killing foreground apps
Hi, just bought the p20 pro after years with Samsung. I have noticed that it often kills apps that I am currently using, sending me back to the home screen (reminds me of a crash to desktop in windows computers).
After some googling similar problems I adjusted the app auto start and ignore battery optimization settings and it did get better, although it is still killing apps which I presume is using a lot of memory or battery (or both?), for example posting stuff on Instagram (Instagram is whitelisted from optimization and managed manually).
This is really bugging me, anyone else with the same problem? I'm running android 8.1.0, EMUI 8.1.0 and memory always stays between 2,5 and 3 GB.

Yeah, it's turning out to be a deal breaker for me.. Too bad since I really like the phone. Just hope it's a bug ?

Something seems to be happening to spotify when it is running in the background using my bluetooth headphones. I get stuttering and odd pauses, its basically unusable.
I have found if I use andriod auto to run spotify or use the wake lock program to keep the phone in a higher power mode it seems to help. If I have the charger plugged in it works fine as well. It appears to be some sort of power saving issue (yes I have told the phone to ignore spotify's power usage) or something to do with bluetooth power saving. But it works fine in a car.
Thats my only real complaint, and had I known I would have this issue I would have probably grabbed a onePlus device. Using Sure 215's

One thing I did notice, and I also fixed the problem quite simply.
I turned the display Resolution to HD from FHD my thinking was with a lower resolution I'd have better battery and better performance.
What I got was worse.
60fps lagged so badly it was unusable.
Transitions especially to the Google feed lagged and was annoying.
Asphalt 9 lagged and was extremely crap.
Turned FHD back on, all went back to silky smoothes??
Logic didn't exactly prevail here but it works.
So in short if you've turned on adaptive resolution or HD.
Turn it off

I'm facing this weird problem with my p20 pro. In. 128 and 131 and 152 firmware versions whenever in have an incoming call my screen doesn't wake up to show my who is calling me, unless I press the power button or the fingerprint sensor. If the call is missed my screen wakes up normally to show me the missed call notification. Any solution?? I have no fingerprint lock or pass code lock. Just swipe.

[Dev] What Apps would you like to run on the Cover Screen?

Hi Guys! If you could, what Apps would you like to run on your cover screen, given that it's really small or what type of information you wish you could access from the cover screen?

I obviously can do some magic.
That's why here to collect ideas which the actual users may would like to see, I won't be super keen on AOD implementation as that would eat up battery, but sure, could be an option. I have my own list of to-dos for the first version of the Super App, just want to see what users come up with.

something can toggle wifi Bluetooth sound flashlight.....

I used aod on all my samsungs. and even on large screens it didn't add much to the battery drain. But how many forums I read, most users are at a loss why the small Samsung display, which is logical for aod, was not used in this model.
about adding functional - enabling bixby routines would be logical without opening the phone.

Well, if Samsung natively implements sure, not much batter drain, but as a third-party developer there are limited access to the APIs (at least not without root.) But yeah, I will see what I can do about it. Bixiby routines, interesting.

I second the toggles for bluetooth/sound/flashlight. Also would like the notification ring as well.. like the ring we see when we charge it.

super. I hope you will finish this soon

Thanks forbyour work is it possible to choose thé number of lines of notification liké the Google assistant message (3 lines) and an vertical scrolling and longer time before extinction for notifications ?

I have a couple days with the flip and for my confort don't spend to much effort to open and for the sake of won't scratch more often when I put on every surface close position, I semi-close pacman like position and put like a stand so the metal frame only touch the surface not the glass and that way when I have to open only use one hand to fully open.
But in that position all the notifications appear on the main screen, so no way to see what notification have, it's there a way to show the notifications on the second mini screen in open position?

A message to all ROM developers out there...

First off, I thank every individual out there making the F1 a much much better phone. No doubt it needs much recognition like you guys do.. but I want to make an announcement on behalf of all the custom ROM lovers out there.
We all know how fricked up miui is... But the only thing which makes miui a much preferred is a very minor thing which may not be a very major thing...
1. Raise to wake.
2. Double tap to sleep or wake all over the ROM(currently it's only on the lock screen and we need it on the home screen too and make us not depend on third party launchers like Nova.
3. Faster IR sensor reaction times. Like in miui the IR Sensor wakes faster than the miui lockscreen itself thereby allowing us to bypass the lockscreen entirely. Please please we need although it looks like a gimmick but these are some user experience thingies and I and all of us would love for you to add these too... And I appreciate everyone's hardwork at making this phone one of the best phones to ever release till date. Thank you

Not sure about 1 and 3 but 2 works fine on crdroid 6.11 . (it's default launcher controlled).
To add to that i've never used the IR camera wakeup thing, since it requires a fair amount of precision and it may wake up accidentally on occasions .
Raise to wake may be set by a set value on how hard you have to shake/lift the phone to wake it up. Basically it's fine tuning which is usually done when testing a rom / needs a person that's wiling to test just that.
Again, personally i find using 2 fingerprints being the fastest way to unlock a phone, since you can place your finger in the pocket and fully unlock it. Come to think of it i can think of a few cases where it can be useful, but still, those people usually buy iPhones, because they want to feel special.

Lmao iPhone noobs be wrecked by Poco F1. For me the only thing that made me stay on the miui albeit the bugs is its pretty accurate raise to wake and the synchronisation between sensor and raise to wake. If I get it I'll be jumping on the roms the next day but then it's still not made yet

Regarding #2. : in LineageOS (and probably other custom ROMs), there is a new option that might get your interest. You can find it in Settings > System > Buttons > Edge long swipe action. I set it to Turn screen off.
This is what I used to "replace" double tap to sleep on Home screen to quickly put the phone to sleep.
