Changing the GUI for selecting a time - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Hey guys,
I had a quick question that I couldn't find in the forums, or on Google in general for that matter. Is there a way to change the way time is input on our device? For example, when I'm choosing the time for a calendar event, this is what I see on my Honor 8 running the latest version of EMUI:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Is there a way to go back to this method of selecting the time?
Thanks!

I've been annoyed with the same thing for a while now, and googling shows we are not alone. It seems to be something Huawei has done (at least on Nougat), and I'm afraid there's very little we can do short of hoping for a fix in a future system update.

[Q] alternative to datepicker widget?

Hi all,
I'm wondering if it is possible to get an alternative to the native datepicker widget:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The reason I am looking for this is that I think that the default widget is clumsy. Things like next week Thursday are a pain to find with the default widget, since the days are not displayed, and you can not see the relation of the different weeks.
While googling this, I found several app developers who found this same issue, and build there own solution (for example here and here).
Does anyone know if it's possible to replace the default widget and if there was an attempt made to do this?
Thanks.

[Q] how to suggest something to google (or any custom rom developer for a general fix

ok, so the thing is as an end user, I have no idea who to bother with this (whether they will listen is a whole other thingymagig)...
but well general discussion, here we go:
A thing which has been annoying the crap out of me in android is the checkboxes in settings not displaying the full text. Mostly the detailed explanation gives enough info to guess what it actually is about but sometimes it's anyones guess
for example:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'm guessing in the first screenshot "up..." stands for "update" seeing how it is referred to in the details, but the second one... ehm.... miniplayer? microphone?... milk!?
I am using a galaxy s2, not a giant screen but definitely not the smallest either, anyone an idea who or what we can inform about this annoyance?
Thanks!

Method of setting time and date in Google calendar

Hello everyone,
this is my very first post here; sorry, if this is wrong subforum.
So I updated Huawei Mate 8 from Android 6.0 with EMUI 4.1 to Android 7.0 with EMUI 5.0.1 (actually Huawei's service did it after repairing my phone). Generally this EMUI is not so bad, but I have some annoing problem. Previously when I wanted to change date or time of event in Google Calendar I had this menu:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
However now I have this:
It seems like a cosmetic, but I am totally lost in this windows. It is veeeery frustrating. How can I change to my old layout?

Question P11 Plus TB-J616X - annoying settings suggestions in system settings panel

How can I get rid of these two annoying settings suggestions? When I close it by the X button, it appears next time again. No, I don't want to add another email account nor use an experience.
When I deactivate the Settings Suggestions (or whatever it is called in English) system app, it goes away, but the settings search stops working as well.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Thank you.
try to debloat your phone? I think the user experience is called lenovo.ue or something

Hi everyone, anyone can help me to find a solution, if there is one? Thanks to all

.. I have a very trivial and simple question, with android 10, emui 10, it is possible to have a gesture, a shortcut to navigate back and forth in the web forum pages ? I tried with the cache flags, but it works only after you've gone through it, while the experimental flag that pushes you to store the entire site cache without going through it doesn't work.. I intend to move forward in the thread pages without having to click on the small number below and without having already passed ... Thanks to all! I post a image for example
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
