Get these Pixel 2 Features on your Honor 9 - Honor 9 Guides, News, & Discussion

I love when Google launches a new phone, even if I'm not going to buy it. Because when they launch a new phone, the community will start porting the new software to be used on other devices. I've been running the Pixel 2 Launcher, Live Wallpaper, and Camera port for a while now and I love the way everything runs on my Honor 9.
Pixel 2 Launcher
The Pixel 2 launcher is fast and simple. Use this link to download the version that is compatible with the Honor 9.
Pixel 2 Live Wallpaper
The Pixel 2 comes with a bunch of new live wallpapers that I've been able to get working on my Honor 9. Make sure you have Google Wallpapers installed, and then use this link to get the new live wallpapers.
Pixel 2 Camera
Get the latest Google Camera for your Honor 9 using this link.
Am I missing anything? Let me know of any additional Pixel features that can be added to the Honor 9.

the camera crashed on my honor 9

Could you please post some pictures to show improvements of the camera? I am interested in buying the honor 9 but I'm kinda concerned with the poor performance on low light and was wondering how much does this mod affects it as no one seems to be posting here Thanks

I've installed the Pixel 2 launcher, however, I'm not getting the Google app to the left of the home screen. Is this working for others?

It's the lens limitations, you need bigger aperture and fast shutter to get good low light results, which honor 9 lacks.

I know that, but we rarely take pictures with tripod. Most of the time it's just point and shoot with auto mode. P10 Plus has bigger aperture lens and ois hence it could produce great low light results. Hopefully the new honor 10 would get a much better optics.

It's because of the launcher and always-active Google page at the left.

Brand New P8 (from beloved Sony Ultra)

Course it's great... And will be my goto (til Sony S6 Ultra is released! )
Thankfully T-Mobile's Hspa+ is acceptable or it'd be on its ride back. It's virtually the same size device as Ultra...with a larger screen so that's fantastic.
Wish I could fully eliminate the Chinese language....like the update I just ran. Changeling is in Chinese and can't copy it so I can translate it. Have no idea what I updated!
Unlocking BL and rooting tonight. Wish me luck!
this post literally has no sense, meaning and purpose whatsoever ...
I understood it perfectly
I understood too... user who came from z ultra as well....
I generally suggest not rooting the phone though cos u will lose out on the OTA updates... which adds features and does lots of bug fixes...

According to GSMArena, the P8 from Huawei has a $hitty camera too. It also lacks 4k video recording. WTF?
You should of waited for the upcoming Huawei P9 which is said to have an improved camera:

MHA-L29 vs LON-L29 Cameras

OK .... So now I'm thoroughly confused.
I ordered both the Mate 9 and the Mate 9 Pro (because of Amazon generous return policy). Initially I got the Mate 9 because of price.
The first disappointment is that the Mate 9 Pro apparently had only dual SIM sorry and NO micro SD ??? Is that correct? Why in the heck would they limit you like that?
More importantly and I can't get a clear answer ..... Do the Mate 9 and Mate 9 Pro have different cameras ??? Huawei customer support was thoroughly confusing!! Anyone have hands on comparison of the 2 devices. I could probably survive only 128gb of storage of the camera is truly different and better!
You are right. Pro dont have microsd slot, only dual-sim and 128gb memory (6gb ram). Camera's is same on both. Only differences betweed Mate 9 and Pro is memory and screen.

That's what it appeared on the specs BUT ..... the Huawei support person acted like cameras were different .. Also there is a Chinese (sounds like) YouTube video that compares Mate 9 to Mate 9 Pro and shows much worse images with the Mate 9

Does he/she shows pictures straight from mobile screen to video camera or?... I have used both and opened both phones and they definetely had same camera. I havent noticed any differences with picture quality. Of there really is differences then its caused by firmware, maybe pro has tweaked more?

First update from Vivo

Hello Nex-Fans,
Vivo has announced the first OS update for our device which improves the overall, the game, camera and fingerprintscanner performance.
Source:
Gizchina
Thanks! I suppose we will get that automatically (when checked in update settings), but thanks anyway for notifying it here.
Despiter updates(there's even newer update than those at first page) the underscreen display scanner remain problematic according to fresh reviews from android authority.
https://www.androidauthority.com/vivo-nex-review-875140/
Hopping retail unit perfom better.
Saw many reviews and tests on YouTube and nobody has mentioned such problems with the Fingerprintscanner. I think this will be a "Pre-Release-Device" problem.

Damn that's a really scathing review especially re. the software and OS. Makes me kind of disinterested tbh, because the UX sounds like a ****ing hassle
I'm not so negative ... In my opinion it's a very early stage of the device and i think some points are related to the Pre-Release-Device he has. On the software side i think it's only a question of time until there are some other options.
I have a Zuk Z2 Pro and know what i'm talking about. The ZUI interface was only crap but now it's running AOSP Android 8.1 and i'm really really happy with the device. It's better then my S8 was.
Yes but the kicker is as always, does the bootloader get unlocked... I don't know about Vivo and their practices on this.
I actually received my second update on my Nex already... and while the fingerprint reader can be finicky it has worked well (one thing that helped was adding both thumbs 2times)

I got the update a day or two ago as well.....
Any idea (translation) of what it actually encompassed?
only thing i have noticed a improvement on is the Fingerprint reader(seems much more consistent) , the camera seems to focus better and give slightly better results. Also the three bars at the bottom of the home screen are at the absolute bottom now and much wider.

After you posted this,I decided to take a look in the Settings > System Update & found the update notes in English (probably translated to whatever default language you choose) & pretty much line-up with your observations/usage:

FunTouch OS is the only thing that's keeping me from buying this phone... Any thoughts on the overall phone functionality from people that have it? I currently own a Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 and love it except for the selfie camera being on the bottom of my screen. My main thing would be to be able to get the Play Store and use Bluetooth with my car audio system... Any thoughts appreciated ?

I go back and forth seemingly daily. I lust for the hardware, it is to me the next step on the path to OLED in-display cameras, but that bizarre Android iOS clone nonsense they have going on is pushing me away. Funtouch sounds like a waking nightmare.
I currently have a Mi Mix 2, and already the rumor mill is in full swing re. the Mix 3. Google Mi Mix 3 and check out some early leaks, they are rumored to follow the Nex style. Admitted MIUI is not all that great either, but at least Xiaomi is a bit more dev friendly on releasing the kernels etc. And sorry for the hijack

Main camera aperture and hdr

On the official specs OnePlus 7pro has a main camera with f1.6 aperture and one plus 7 has a f1.7 aperture
But when I click images with OnePlus 7 the details show that the aperture is f1.6
Confused??

That's because both phones have f1.65 aperture but oneplus chose to advertise the pro as f1.6 and the regular model as f1.7. Although, both have the same aperture.

I don't know. The pros display has HDR10+ certification which means it's very bright, the regular model doesn't has this certification.
The problem is that everyone focused on oneplus 7 pro and i can't find any display review showing the pick brightness and color accuracy of the regular 7 to compare with the display of oneplus 6t and 7 pro.

Instead of shouting at us read properly, you are in the MATE 30 PRO section, go and vent your frustrations in the proper section.
And as for your complaint, I had - my wife has it now, a mate 20 Pro which came with android 9 and with each update that phone got better. Update to Android 10 whent flawless so it looks like you have a defective device.
even on p30 is the same android 10 is total crap .. 9 was gold

Its all relative...how high are your expectations and in how far do you believe all the you tube reviews on new phones?
Huawei does like Samsung and Apple a good marketing with the aim of you believing them and buying their devices and this every year.
I had a Mate 9, Mate 10, Mate 20pro and now the Mate 30pro and the only one which I was not happy with camera wise was the Mate 10. The pictures from that phone looked often like oil paintings. I disagree about the Mate 20pro, it improved after upgrading to android 10 and its camera was - is good. Cannot judge the P30pro.
I do agree that some people will never be satisfied and always find excuses to complain, I am sure that these people have nothing better to do than complaining. These people should understand that if you want to take good pictures you buy a proper camera and not a phone with a camera but then we talking again about expectations.
