Turn off global search? - Honor View 10 Questions & Answers

I've had a Mate 10 before this, Mate 9 Pro before that and I don't recall this ability to swipe down anywhere on the screen to reveal a 'search' - which I'm led to believe is called 'global search'.
I actually find it really annoying when I'm trying to swipe down for notifications.
Can you switch this off? I've been looking and can't see!

I don't see this on my phone. However, a quick search suggests that this is part of the standard app drawer-less home screen. So either switch to the app drawer layout or run a different launcher. I use Nova Launcher, hence why I don't see this global search.

In KangVIP rom (P9, honor8) it is disabled by default.

HOW DO I HIDE MY NAVIGATION BAR
The best way to hide your navigation bar is with your ROM settings but if your ROM does not support this you can used a Xposed module or you can add qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to your system/build.prop file.
Here is a video on how to edit you build.prop file VIDEO GUIDE
SYSTEMUI CRASHES WHEN I LAUNCH GOOGLE NOW ON TAP
This is a bug with android and google has been notified of this problem. https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=193391
The reason this happens is when you hide your navigation bar with qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 the animation crashes when trying to launch google now on tap.
Luckily there is a hack to get it working, what you will need to do is force the animation to play without using google now on tap and there are a few ways to do this.
If you turn on "OK GOOGLE" detection from any screen or if you use nova launcher/apex launcher/etc... go into settings and turn on "OK GOOGLE" voice activation
then say "OK GOOGLE" and the animation will play, a white border around the edge of your screen.
Once the animation has played google now on tap will start to work.
Warning if you reboot your phone you will need to say "OK GOOGLE" again.
SWIPE NAVIGATION IS NOT WORKING
Screen DPI set to low
One person reported that when they set there DPI from 320 to 260 swipe navigation would not work correctly
SuperSU out dated
Don't forget that SuperSU is still in beta for marshmallow so make sure your up to date
SELinux not allowing Swipe Navigation to inject Events
I'm still not 100% sure why some people are experiencing this problem maybe when SuperSU goes stable for marshmallow this will be fixed but for now here are a few checks you can do:
In advanced settings test other SU contexts
Make sure SuperSu/ROM/Kernel are all up to date
Make sure your ramdisk has been patched correctly modified boot.img by Chainfire
if all fails download SELinuxModeChanger and set your SELinux to permissive If you don't want to set your SELinux to permissive you could downgrade to version 3.0.3 or use without root version

Well i made the app so i would say yes but you would need to try it for your self so you can decide what you like better
I just bught this app for support, good work mate.
I was using free, so here are my impressions/requests:
1) Different color for basic gesture actions (left,center, right, left edge, right edge)
2) Dock settings is a cluttered chaos, no need for so many options. What i would like to see is option for folders or something similar.
Also a 'set to default' option would be nice for values.

i was thinking about adding glowing for different swipes so you can see what one your doing
dock settings well yes its a bit cluttered but i need that many settings if you press the floating button there are some presets you can use
(use a preset as a starting point or just use the way a preset is and pretend there are no settings)
folders would need a full rewrite on how the dock works but i don't want to do that i may make a extension for that you would have to download separately and would work with all other apps
dock has default but settings does not i was thinking about adding some presets for the other settings as well like the dock settings
I was thinking different colors in the bottom bar, for every 'area'
Also, there could be a ' set to default' option in every setting, next to 'cancel' and 'ok'
One other thing that could be configurable, is swipe distance on dock. If i wanna reach apps, there is a lot of distance.
Keep up the good work.
nice

That would require to many color settings
Default for every setting i could do that ill look into it
Ill look into that as well for now you could change side the the narrow side of your phone
Great app! Was looking for something like this but the swipe back xposed module was never consistent enough ...
some suggestions:
1. the home button is actually what i use the least, there is an option to change the size of the left and right most swipe areas, but can there also be an option to change the size of the center (home) swipe area? this will avoid the "back" and "recent apps" swipe areas being too small when the "search" and "menu" swipe areas are expanded
2. is it possible to add chrome actions (back/forward, next/previous tab, etc.) into the custom action list? it appears possible since the chromepie xposed modules and gesture navigation app have these shortcuts ... that would make chrome navigation a lot more user-friendly

There is currently no way to resize the home button
Back would be just the normal back action
If you go into actions at the bottom is more... Within more is forward
Switching tabs i was not able the find the keycode in the list that does that but
Here is something built into chrome you may not of known about
If you slide your finger across the top url bar it will switch across tabs
But i think this does not work if you have your tabs in recents if you have your tabs in recents then you could use switch to previous app the switch between your last 2 tabs apart from that i dont know

yes, i know about the gesture to swipe tabs in chrome. however it's not that useful a gesture when using the phone one-handed unless you have extra long fingers ...
i tried hard to find the keycode to swipe tabs in chrome too ... even connected to a bt keyboard to see if i could find it. but it's definitely possible since chromepie can do it, maybe it is a combination of keycodes simultaneously?
anyway, great app! got through my first day using it instead of the navbar and it feels very intuitive already
thanks

EMUI 8.0 caused Nova Launcher to not be able to launch certain apps

After updating my Mate 9 to EMUI 8.0 some system apps (like the flashlight one) stopped working in Nova, upon trying to open it I get a toast saying "the app is not installed" or "permission denied" but the app is fully functional if opened from Huawei stock launcher. The real problem is not for the flashlight but for the lockscreen widget, which is an activity of the flashlight app. I used to launch it both with Tasker and Nova gestures when I needed to lock the screen and now it's not possible anymore, it only gives back the "permission denied" message. Both Tasker and Nova have been granted all the permissions and also been set as system administrator. Is there a way to solve this or find a workaround to let me lock the screen via Tasker? Like sending a specific intent or something along that way

i checked now, same here. But im using flashlight toggle from notif. panel on everywhere.
First I thought...no way! I use the flashlight app all the time, but, from the notification panel thingy. But sure enough...from the app itself it won't work with Nova. (I'm USA 567, the beta 321 version of Oreo).
Might be another reason they are a bit SLOW to release it everywhere too
I'm also using the flashlight from the quick settings in the notification panel, what is bugging me is that the "lock screen" widget (and also the correspondant activity that could be called by tasker) is also not working and I was looking for a solution to that problem in particular
Hi I have the same problem with the screen lock, with mate 10 pro, have you found a solution?
When I tried to configure a gesture and use screen lock shortcut it says "App isn't installed", the only way to use it is from EMUI.
Honor 9 lite, I have same problem((
Screen off and torch are only available on stock launcher (it’s build inside!).
For me and my not rooted phone, the "screen off" app is verry helpful to solve this little problem.
As torch, i use the "dashLight" app. It’s only 232k big. unfortunately it isn’t available in playstore any longer. But searching for "com.spectrl.DashLight app" can help to find it

Getting the Backbutton to the right on Android Q

Is there a way to get the Backbutton to the right side under Android Q? Custom Navbar App dosnt work and the Tut from XDA about the ADB Comands either.
hi, I'd also like to know if there is a way to get it back on the right side.
I actually use the full gesture mode, but there is something that I would like to change :
When you open the keyboard, the button to close it is also on the left side, is there a way to get it on the right ?(probably something to do with the navbar position of the buttons)
Cheers
I've mostly adjusted to this new layout after coming from a Note 9, but I definitely miss the massive customization Sammy offered via the Good Lock app. Interested in hearing the recommended way to achieve a similar level of tweaking in vanilla Android.
I tried digging through the settings activities to see if it was in a hidden menu somewhere, but couldn't find anything. I did discover that if I freeze Pixel Launcher, I lose the System Navigation entry in the System > Gestures menu, and the app switch button stops working. Maybe the Pixel Launcher has some way of controlling the order of the buttons? Though, if it does, it's not in any of the settings.

Android 10 update... No full screen gestures

Heyhey so I'm on the note 10+ Rogers Canada.. And I just got the android 10, one ui 2.0 update.
I was waiting for this as I loved the side gesture for thr back button alternative on the Oneplus 7 pro 10 update.
I am sad to say that I cannot see this option... The more options button is greyed out and the only option I have is the same as before... The bottom 3 gestures.
Am I missing something here?
Also hate the gap at the bottom of the keyboard
Yes, you missed the "Search" button.

Are you using a launcher? For whatever reason when using a 3rd party launcher those are not available. Once I switched over to UI launcher I was able to set them up. Depending on launcher you should be able to still set up the full screen gestures.

Question Gesture navigation animation delay and landscape edge panel

I've been using gesture navigations on my old P30 Pro and enabled it for the S22 Ultra. I've noticed that when navigation is set to "swipe from sides and bottom", it introduces special animations when minimizing apps/going back to the homescreen, that is different from the animations when using "swipe from bottom" gestures or when using navigation bar buttons. With "swipe from sides and bottom" selected, whenever I do the home gesture which is slide up from the bottom of the screen, it plays the return home/minimize app animation and I notice that I have to wait for the animation to finish before I could perform my next swipe gesture. For Nova, Apex, Microsoft and several other launchers that I've tested, I notice that I need to wait for the animation to finish before I could do another gesture like opening the app drawer by swiping up. This apparently happens to all launchers except for the default One UI launcher - where even if the animation is not yet finished, I can swipe up and open the app drawer. This delay does not happen to any launcher when using swipe form bottom gestures or navigation bar buttons. Is there a way to fix this?
Also, is there a way to use edge panel in landscape? On my old Huawei, their version of the edge panel works in any orientation. Basically, I just need a way to open apps in a popup window in landscape where I can choose which app i could open instead of opening the app first, and then choosing to open it in a popup window using the recent apps/task manager button.
I was thinking the same from a couple days, but too lazy to start a thread
With third part launchers, sometimes when I return to home, if I try to open an app or make some gesture, the phone open an app himself, casually...
I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who noticed this nuance. TS explained everything what I had in mind for a loooooong time.
Is there any way to make 3rd party launcher "act like the default" when it comes to animations?
Note: I'm using Motorola Edge 30 Ultra so it doesn't matter whether it's a Samsung phone or not. Animations and gestures behave differently in any 3rd party launcher.
