Hi everyone,
Has anyone tried to put Nova launcher on their Honor 8? I have recently decided to change the look of my phone a bit so i downloaded the Nova launcher (prime). I managed to modify it to my liking but there is one problem with it - i think that it is slowing my phone down a bit. App opening seems to be slower and even scrolling through pages in apps is a bit laggy (facebook, instagram, chrome, etc..). I think that my phone is working better on stock emui launcher. I really like the google feed which is not available on EMUI 5.0.1
Is there anyone else who encountered the same issue? Is there any way to fix this? I tried to change the animation time in phone and nova settings and it is not helping...
Thank you.
I have Nova on mine and it doesn't run slow at all. Maybe try turning off App Animations in the Look and Feel section?
I've been running Nova on mine for over a year, and can say that I have never noticed any slowdowns at all.
Same as the person above have been running nova launcher since i bought it back in september and havent experianced any slowdowns
Ok then the problem seem to be with my phone only. Maybe i should restore it to factory settings as i haven't done that yet. I guess i will just stay with stock emui launcher for now. .. Thanks for help

Hey just convert NOVA LAUNCHER to system app thats it. It runs flawlessly
Ran it on my Honor 8 and never noticed a slowdown with it.
Thank you for you help regarding it. I wouldn't say that the phone is lagging with Nova launcher. It just seems to be slower than with EMUI launcher which is what i don't really like. Maybe it is just in my head. I think i will stay on emui launcher for now.

How do you do that sir?
Try removing the spyware and resource hogs 'facebook, instagram' and I am sure it will run much faster its certainly not Nova.

Using magisk module!
Some tips I discovered. It starts to run smoothly after I granted acces in advanced settings security device administrator, then Apps- Special settings - ignore battery otimization, draw over the apps, write system settings
Been using Nova Classic since I got my phone. Since I love the old Holo look I prefer this version. Never looked back. Works great.
Still using my Honor 8 on Android 6 and EMUI 4.1.
See no reason to upgrade.
Hello all, happy new year 2019!
I just bought the Huawei P20 4/128 (Malaysian Set - Midnight Blue). I directly updated it to EMUI 9 after finished all initial setup, factory reset it and the setup everything from scratch. The EMUI 9 itself is fine, as I previously owned a Honor Play for 1 month before I sell it because of bad camera quality.
However, I find this phone is occasionally lagged or not so smooth as I expected for such a phone with Kirin 970 processor, especially when navigating inside 3rd party apps. Coming from Xiaomi Mi 8, it's no brainer that Mi 8 with MIUI 10 is way more responsive and speedy. But, the performance with 3D games such as Asphalt 9 with highest graphics setting is no issue at all.
I already tried to:
- Uninstall bunch of useless Huawei's bloatware such as FB, preinstalled games, etc with adb shell method (since I don't have root access)
- Change the windows animation speed to none in Developers Options
- Clear the cache in EMUI Recovery
It helps a little bit to make this phone smoother but not as smooth as Mi 8 or Honor Play (which is weird, considering the Honor Play is positioned below the P20).
Do you guys here care to share about your experience with your P20 and EMUI 9? Do you also experience what I just described above?
Thank you
Try to enable performance mode in battery settings, it helped me to reduce lag a little bit
I would suggest you to enable "force gpu rendering" under developer options. I'm on emui 8.1 and mostly lag free. However, i agree about the responsiveness issues, I own an OG Pixel, and used to own an OP3T, they are both more responsive. I'm probably not gonna buy Huawei again!

I'm sure it would reduce a lag a little bit but I have to sacrifice the battery life and I need to carry the supercharger everywhere I go :crying:

I tried to enable force gpu rendering option as suggested and yes it helps to reduce the lag a bit (thanks!), but still not so smooth as Mi 8 or Honor Play that I owned before this P20. I think the main issue was the EMUI itself or the kernel isn't really optimized by Huawei's dev.
It's emu9. I have a honor play and updated to emui9 and couldn't use it because of the lag so I downgraded back to emui8.
I think it's the P20 phone overall. I'm in EMUI 8.1, and there is noticeable lag unless i turn down the screen resolution to hd+, Huawei is pathetic!
i remove most of huawei ****ty apps.
my launcher is nova and no lags in emui9
Interesting.. my battery life and performance is better with emui 9.0 than with emui 8.1.
Maybe do a factory reset?
Got EMUI 9 today. I think it's a bit faster than 8.1, lags less for sure. I am not a big fan of the new look tho!

I also removed/disabled most of Huawei's pre-installed apps using the ADB Shell methods, but only the non-essentials such as Facebook (and all of its inheritance). I choose to keep the Huawei's gallery app, app market, etc because I think these apps was baked into EMUI itself and I afraid if I disabled them it will make the system unstable.

Yes, I would also reccomand this, not to delete essentials apps which are deeply integrated into EMUI.

Does anyone here regularly enjoy the fun contents from the 9GAG app? I noticed that this app is lagging so much, the strange thing is, this does not happen with my previous phone. Navigating the maps in Google Maps also resulted in lags.
Anyone here experienced the same issue? Honestly, I don't want to part ways with my beloved P20 (especially after I bought the RhinoShield SolidSuit Carbon Fibre case, it's expensive but really worth the price), but my honest opinion is the performance for day to day use sometimes is not acceptable anymore for the phone in this price point. Now, I'm thinking of selling this very pristine condition P20 and get the second hand Galaxy S9 since it's getting much cheaper now
*EDIT:
I tried to disable all Knuckle Gestures and Advanced Visual Effect in Accessibility. Sure, the animation effect is a little bit off now. However, I feel the overall system is much responsive now.
Hi Guys, I just saw Huawei Nova 3 today and noticed that it has Qmoji built-in. Is there any way to get these Qmoji's to Honor View 10?
Hey!
Few days back, I got my Reno 10x.
My past device was OnePlus 3T which just kills when it comes to Software.
I really miss the OnePlus clean apps.
Found some of the Apps working from OnePlus.

You won't find that in app drawer. You will need to set that as default launcher by going to Settings - App Management - Default App - Homescreen - Select OnePlus Launcher from that list
I used OnePlus 6T and honestly OnePlus has the best user interference. Very Clean and better than the stock Android. But when come to ColorOS the story is really different. Although I have installed Nova launcher and some near stock icon packs but the overall visuals of ColorOS Ui remain the same. I anyone has idea if the substratum or any other tool by which we can tweak the settings menu, quick settings etc.

Well, I don't think, there is any 3rd party engine which is supported with this device.
But I can see that more and more themes are being added in Oppo's Theme Store.
It's not just about more theme it's about major overhaul of the entire UI. ColorOS is always striving to be more like IOS. But the best and clean UI of Oxygen OS is far more better than ColorOS. I wish I could get an Oxygen OS rom for Oppo Reno 10X Zoom.
Well I guess we all can just wish that.
I don't think we will be able to even get a clean rom for this device anytime soon.

Yep I contacted OPPO regarding bootloader unlock and simply denied it saying we don't support rooting our devices.

Oh, that's horrible. Looks like we made a mistake buying a Oppo Device
No it's not a mistake as it's a great device with so much capabilities in both hardware and software. Yes in software development OPPO has always been behind the competitors. In recent times every OEM is trying to give more stock like user experience except OPPO and VIVO which share the same roots with OnePlus i.e. BBK Electronics. Let's hope some of the developers get interest in OPPO phones and start pushing the limits.

Having an impossible bootloader unlock phone, and being a member of xda is a very Big mistake. Period.
Just have a look to the rom section of this RENO Phone, then compare it to OnePlus 7 pro rom section...
No way

Yes you are right at this point. I am using the Reno 10X and love to play games and use camera with all it's capabilities BUT honestly hate the ColorOS Skin. It was better for Oppo to borrow OxygenOS from it's sister company OnePlus (a great wish if it can come true). But have to bear this if you are in love with the device.
Thanks for sharing. I'm using the gallery app on my Pixel 3a (Google Photos is buggy atm) and it's working without any issues.
Tried Gallery App

OnePlus says the product (Bluetooth earphone) have low latency mode which will only work for OnePlus devices only they have and finatic mode in there game space application ( similar to game launcher in Samsung) which decrease the latency in OnePlus Bluetooth earphone . , So i though that i could install the game space app in my device so that i can try to use the finatic mode to reduce the latency in OnePlus Bluetooth earphone ,
Is there any way to get vertical recent apps on Android 10 open beta? The horizontal recent is pretty much useless as it only shows one app on the screen.
Normally you install another launcher (Apex Classic as an option) and you have it (back).

Hmm try using an alternative launcher and freezing/disabling the oneplus launchers
If freezing / disabling is what it takes, that is a pity for bon-rooters. That would really be customer unfriendly. I hate this whole gesture based thing because I use my fix gestures since 2014 when I started using Apex launcher. It would mean I need to reprogram my brains.
Freezing also breaks gestures
Perhaps soon it'll be introduced:

Here's hoping anyway!
I disabled the horizontal recents in pie.
Now after the update to 10, I don't have recents at all.
I reinstalled the oneplus Launcher. Still no recents.
Any ideas?
Is there any solution for this, the recent apps on the oneplus 7 pro is just horrible
Although the 7 pro is a brilliant phone, Oxygen isnt that great : I come from a Samsung with goodlock and i have to say that i am disappointed at the lack of options in oxygen.

Not that I know of, unfortunately. I've actually just forced myself to get used to it....
There is no vertical recents provider in Android 10.
I have looked all over the playstore for an app that can do something like this but sadly nothing.
As an alternative i am using Jina sidebar and sort the apps there by last used.
Everyone complains about samsung's UI and raves about oxygen, but now that i have it i feel very much opposite
Oneplus 7 pro hardware is fantastic certainly for the price i paid for it, but the software leaves a lot to be desired. Sadly the country i live in has no possibilities for returning your purchase, otherwise i would run back to samsung.
Come on oneplus, make some software !
Any updates on this matter ?
When hell freezes over I'll get used to this stupid horizontal app switcher
If at least I could remap that button to one of those third party recent apps, but not even that.
Once ago (android P) I could freeze the default launcher, and things went back to normal. Now, if I freeze the launcher, nothing comes up.
I think back then the default provider was replaced by an alternative provider, which I would gladly download again if I remembered the name. Something with "quick" on it.
