I come from Windows phone and I get to chose which apps show on lock screen
I remember Android had something similar. I have an honor 8 now
Trying to make yahoo weather the lock screen. Not just yahoo but anything else too. Not working even though I read a tutorial. Is it even possible to open an app from lock by swipe left, right, up or down like other Android? Not talking about finger print smart key.
I have magazine lock screen with yahoo weather set to lock screen in notifications with priority and everything else on. Still not working. Any idea?
I was under the impression that that capability was done away with in Lollipop and later for security reasons?

Is it just an emui restriction or Android? Any chance it will be in emui 5?

xposed work well on stock android, emui supports xposed too but with limited modules..about emui5, its based on nougat , so no xposed for nougat yet..
Isn't there a option to do so in the lockscreen settings?

Couldn't find. They have a magazine theme style theme for emui now where if your on lock screen you can swipe up from bottom of screen to reveal some notification tools like wifi, NFC, LTE, and play pause button but no way to show weather or change lock screen to that of an app or open an app from screen by swiping only
What I found is that running Xposed on EMUI was that it would break my dialer. I did a little research and found it to be a known issue.

maay be only in the honor 8.. my honor 5x runs xposed with no problems
Hi,
I'm new to xda and have just bought H8. Really excited and happy about this phone. :good:
I have one question. I had Honor 5x before and it had a feature where I can assign a particular finger print to a shortcut. For example unlocking with my index finger would do a direct call to my home.
I don't see this feature in H8. I searched everywhere in settings including the smart key but of no help.
Any pointers? I really miss this nifty feature...
Hi, H8 doesn't have this feature, you can only answer call with fingerprint.

Thanks. Is there any other way around this. I am sure someone must have found out a way.
It was such a blessing in my Honor 5x.

What Android version do you have now? If I'm not mistaken, that feature was only present in EMUI 4.
Never saw it on my honor 8, just use the button as a shortcut

Emui 4.1 Android 6.0
I think it's not present on honor 8 due to that fps doubles as a button

Then I'm mistaken. :laugh: Most probably Huawei removed it to compensate for the smart key.

Why not assign double click a smartkey to an app .
A triple click too ?
Is there triple click?!

Thanks. Double click on smart key can only open an app. But what I'm looking for is to assign a 'direct call' shortcut to it.

He said, there is only option to open Contacts not dial concrete one.
I investigated it and there is no way how to do it.

Well i found the same . Sorry OP . No more answers left
Found a way finally. This app can create shortcuts as individual apps. The shortcuts show up individually in your app drawer which means you can assign them as smart key functions! So now I can call my home with a single press of the smart key... :good:

Huawei has said in their official statement that navigation Gesture will only be available for phone without front facing fingerprint scanner, such as the honor play, mate 10 Pro, honor 8x, etc. This may change in the future.

Do you have a source for this? I really don't see the reason why. I always loved my Huawei Phones but if it's true, it's getting more and more ridiculous what they're doing...

Here is the screenshot of a screenshot in Chinese of the emui 9 update description
The circled bit says mate 10 and other devices with front facing fingerprint scanner are not a part of the fullscreen gesture roll-out
May we can activate over am adb command? Or manipulate some config file? Common guys from xda, you are so smart make it possible!

The new look for the emui overview screen is a part of the Huawei launcher, just like how it is in the pixel launcher, so maybe the gesture are a part of the launcher as well? Since the gestures on the pixel are a part of the launcher.

So it will be available for the P20 lite?
So gyus, you needn't to have Emui 9 for this. Install this app and you can configure your edge gestures for left/right/bottom individually. This app gives you even more features
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.edgegestures
Try it
Thats not the point, I have even spend to use the xda gesture control App. But first, I think the Implementation from emui 9 is better.
This

Is much better! Pre Release state
Guys are you sure that p20 pro won't get the new navigation gestures ..this is so upsetting
Just when I thought I saw a light at the end of the tunnel with the emui 9, Huawei rained on my parade. I know I'm never buying anything Huawei again. They keep bringing different kinds of frustration to the table

But in edge gestures you can remove the pill completely. So the gestures from the edges are completely invisible.

Yes me, worked fine on the phone
Kindly help me out by providing an app or trick to to use double tap screen on or off to use it on my Honor Play.
Tried plenty from play store but non work perfectly
None will work unless you root your phone. It's the android version (7 and up) that's preventing it, not EMUI specifically. Unless, Huawei/Honor adds it as a feature, you got not no luck on having it (not perfectly). I tried this several times as well since my previous Asus Zenfone supports this feature (but only for the default launcher) but I really haven't found anything.
There is a widget that locks your screen when you press it... Just add it to bottom bar of your home screen!
It comes as part of emui system

Yep. but only for the default launcher. it can't be added if you have a different launcher. in my case, Nova.
Nova now works with gestures to lock screen on Pie.
And fingerprint scanner still works ?

I'm sharing another Tasker made app with one simple purpose: get you into the hidden App Notifications menu so you can change notification sounds. As many of you know this menu is not accessible through system settings. There are many methods of accessing it, including Nova, Tasker, or other shortcut managers but they all require work and a bit of knowledge. This app makes it simple for anyone. Even advanced users may find it handy.
It does not require root or any special privilege. Simply launch the app to enter the App Notification menu. This accesses the built in Android notification management system and is simply the best way to manage your notification settings.
Please hit thanks if you find it useful ?
(Because of the nature of this workaround it will only work on the official EMUI 8.1 release for now. No custom ROM or beta support, sorry. Once I've updated to 9 I'll share the new fix if necessary. I have Canadian L04 model though and updates happen here slowly)
Not working for me (P20 Pro EMUI 9 Beta). App doesn't launch when tapped.

I don't have 9 yet but I'd assume you'll find it in settings under Notifications where it should be. AFAIK it was unintentionally left out in 8.1 which is why we had trouble. If it's included in 9 a simple search through settings should reward you. ?
Works perfect, thanks!
Works perfect.
Broken link
Hi,
I see link to the apk if broken, i could not download the app.
Does this fix work also for P10 running EMUI 8.0 ?

The link is working for me, try downloading from another browser maybe. I have no idea if it will run on the P10 but it might. If it does please report back so we can share with P10 users too. ?
This apk is totally useless. It's a joke? The same you can get if you just go to the notifications.

Apparently you do not understand what we're trying to accomplish. You cannot change notification sounds in the menu you refer to in EMUI 8, only turn them off. But there is a secret hidden menu that allows to change any notification sound for any app you like. It may look similar to the one you are thinking of but if you know what you're doing it is very different, there are far more options available. You cannot get to this menu by any other means than sending an intent, whether via command, a shortcut from a launcher or an app like I've shared. Trust me, there is a purpose for this or I wouldn't have so many thanks for it already. But if you're okay with having the same notification sound for every single app on your phone that's cool too. Whatever floats your boat. ?
We can use Nova Launcher to create a shortcut that link to this Notification settings in this thread.

You can use Nova Launcher to do this, yes. Other methods all involve installing a shortcut creation app of some kind and finding the correct settings entry. This app is for people who do not use Nova or would prefer a simple method with the hard work done for them. It's a pain digging through all those settings entries if you don't need to. ?

This app saved my sanity after switching from a LG G5 to the P20 Pro. Many thanks!
I'm sorry, but to change the sound for any app I go to config/applications/aplications/ choose the application I want then manage notification then sound and choose what I want... Using pie with a L29. I came from a custom pie rom on an oneplus 2 and, as i remember, I use to do it like that also... Did I missed something? Sorry about my English.
