Hi all
Recently I received my OTA update to MHA-L29 8.0.0.360(C185)
Ever since then, if I switch tasks while navigating in Google Maps it will put Maps into a small overlay that appears over whatever I switch to, and it doesn't appear in the recent apps if I try and switch back to it, instead to make it full screen again I have to tap on the application icon from my home screen.
Quite honestly, I can appreciate the usefulness of this feature, but it's been poorly implemented and ends up being a nuisance to me. Does anyone know how to disable this feature (revert back to how it behaved in Android 7?)
Thanks
It's a feature of Oreo pip mode also does same with YouTube

Thanks for the info. I did come across that same article prior to posting this thread but it appears that option does not exist. Thought maybe Huawei had some other way to go about it instead...

is there a viable way to replace the Emotion UI yet? Or, are we going to be stuck using the huawei version of Android? Has anyone tried to mod or replace the Emotion UI yet?
I'm also thinking of buying one, but only if there's possibility to install CM ROM on it later. I don't like the Emotion UI. Is there a way to root and any custom ROM for AM7?

The problem seem to be, we cannot set the default launcher to be other Launchers except the Huawei Launcher. ( You can select set default in other Launchers but once you hit home button it will come back to be Huawei Launcher ). As the option to clear default in Apps management has been disabled. If you know how to set the default Launcher please tell us how to do it ?

Yeah this is thr problem i think. Not only the default launcher cant be changed. There was also a review by a user that other apps cant be set as default to open some files; only the default huawei apps can be used.
Too bad. Why did huawei do this?

Actually, yes you can. But you'll have to root it and install an app able to manage the system apps like Titanium Backup. Once you have it, you can install a custom launcher and freeze / uninstall (with the help of Titanium Backup) EMUI launcher.

Thanks for your input, however ,changing a launcher should not involve rooting your phone. It is a build in option of Android. What Huawei is doing, not even Google now Launcher can install, surely Google would not ask users to root their phone in order to install Google now Launcher.
I was under the impression the software for it was locked down so tightly on the phones we've seen because it's a Chinese phone built for the Chinese market and there are certain features that are required to be disabled (Play Store, etc). The Western versions of the AM7 will probably let you change the launcher. If not, your guess is as good as mine.

Huawei EMUI V2.3 still let user change home launcher as normal ( I can confirm this, as I am using Huawei P7 which is china model ) But AM7 which come with EMUI V3 disabled that option. Just hope some one can find way to crack this without needing to root the phone.
Dont know about the other china specific phone, but as far as I know for Huawei and Xiaomi you can side load google services and have full google apps and sync with some work, without the need to root. But some how they decided to disable the option to change Launcher with their latest software update.
Go to settings, Home, and select the launcher you have installed.
Alternatively, go to Play store and download Launcher Switcher.
The first method is easiest.

From your quote, it seem you are using Huawei Acsend P7, which is having EMUI v2.3, yes you can do that as there is Home setting, But we are talking about Huawei Ascend MATE 7 which have EMUI V3.0, there is no such setting. This setting has been disabled. Home switcher does not work either as the clear default option also disabled.
Wow, that's entirely new to me.
So you're saying that Huawei has locked mate 7 users to their UI?
I thought all Android providers had to allow users to choose what skin to utilise.
Thanks, I didn't know. I think that's very un-clever of Huawei. I have both the P7 & P6....they may be the last Huawei's I ever own!!

Yes, there is no way to change the default launcher to a third-party one, such as Nova, if you are running stock EMUI 3.0 without root. I have just confirmed this on my Chinese MT7-TL10. You can only choose between the two built-in EMUI launchers: "Default" and "Simple".
Maybe this will change when an European version is released, but the current Chinese firmware keeps you locked to their UI.
i have my mate 7 (french version) normaly in the end of this week, i check for this when i have it

That is a big letdown, and a dealbreaker for me.
As reviewed by one user, even choosing apps to open certsin files is not possible in mate 7. Its a very basic function in android that huawei has unceremoniously locked up.
Will the asian/ international version be like this also?

No, not when this is XDA and rooting your phone, installing TiBu, and freezing an app takes a whole 5 minutes to do. You may actually learn something along the way as well. You seem like the perfect candidate for an iPhone .

No, you need root to write to the csc folder unless there is some third party method. You might be able to push the feature.xml via ADB
Call Recorder by Sklvx in the market
When I first bought my phone, I had the ability to record calls right from the dialer GUI. When did this change?

This ROM does not have the Wifi bug which some other ROMs for OTUS have.

I did that. Left my device overnight... When I go to Google settings, Google assistant UI shows up for seconds and then disappears. Then it goes to settings, google assistant is turned on in settings. However, when I hold the home button, nothing happens.

Have you also noticed the notifcation that comes down from the top of the screen while watching a video or something else? Its really annoying and there isnt any settings for turning them off. Does anyone know how to?!
I use the app "Tasker" to turn them off when in certain apps.

Saw this Article about the new Google Pixel themes. Tried to follow the steps to get it to work but apparently our PH1 isn't as close to a Pixel as I thought it was.
Anyone have any luck getting this to work? Or seen someone who has it working on another device somewhere on XDA that isn't a Pixel?
I was able to install all 3 apps, do the ADB command but the wallpaper app just Force Closes/crashes when I attempt to do anything.

If you use this, go to post 11 or 12 and use the link there. The original mod is no longer supported, but Banks has continued his own version of the module. Works like a charm.
