[Q] Auto 2g/3g switch without xposed?

Hi everyone, I am using Ml09 and I would like to have data connection to automatically turn to 2g only when I turn the screen off and back to 3g/2g when I unlock phone. I had that option on Note 2, but on my shiny new Mate 7 I could not find a way even though it's rooted, because all solutions need a working xposed. I don't have xposed installed because it screwed my theme and icons. Is there any other way to auto toggle 2g/3g or possibly a proper working xposed for our magnificent Mate 7?

No mate it isn't..
Enjoy your mate7 as it is..
Peace

Actually I found a solution: Xposed 2.6.1 works perfectly with Mate 7 without messing up themes. After installing it install Intelli3g and phone switches to low power consuming 2g network automatically when screen is turned off and back to 2g/3g/4g when you turn on the screen. This helps with rather poor standby time of Mate 7 (1.5% power hour).
Hour this helped anyone.

So is it defo NOT messing icons up ? that version ? all is intact ?
Throw us link...
Edit : it is crap it foks up system still !!! i cant even activate it i got msg in app that something is with my ROM and when I update framework it is still red after install and reboot.. crap
what version of mate7 u have?
Edit 2 : had to disable resources in settings tho... still phone behaves weirdly ... like there is signal but bars shows no bars ..

Don't install version from this forum and do not try to install 2.6.1 from within Xposed. Here is what you have to do:
1. Uninstall Xposed
2. Go to http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer and choose 2.6.1 or just download this apk: http://dl-xda.xposed.info/modules/de.robv.android.xposed.installer_v32_de4f0d.apk
3. Enjoy
When I tried to install through Xposed it could not install, but this method works and it does not mess with themes (make sure to check - theme issue compatibility - or something like that in Xposed settings when you install it).
Cheers!

Changing font on EMUI 5

Hi guys I'm guessing how to change font on EMUI 5. Someone said I can find the option in Display settings but I can't find it. I've FRD-L09 and I tried on B320 and B360 version.
Thanks for help.

There's an app in the Play Store called EMUI Theme Editor that I believe changes fonts.

In the description it says they added support for EMUI 5, but that you just need to restart your device after applying it for it to appear.

Have you tried other apps like "iFont"?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kapp.ifont
If you have the Xposed framework installed though then it's probably better to download the latest version through Xposed and activate it in there for more of a chance that it will work with EMUI 5. There is also another Xposed module called "Fonter" that I'm pretty sure I used on my last device and it worked well. It also says in the description for that one that it has support for Huawei devices, so maybe it's worth a shot. If you don't have the Xposed framework installed btw, then I recommend installing it anyway as it allows you to do a lot of things that your device would not normally do.
Then of course there's always the possibility that you do have the font functionality in your B-320 version of the FRD-L09 like @Saythis showed you a couple of weeks back on this duplicate thread you made.

I've tried everything to change fonts after rooted..Only thing that worked was to download font zip and rename the word (.zip) to (HWT) and move to theme and that worked..

I do not have this option in display settings. Also I don't want to root and install xposed and other ****s... Tried with label apps in the market without success. Also changing the extension from zipped ttf to hwt won't work. I believe the option is totally missing

Can you tell me if you are on C432? Because it seems on c432 there are some options missing such as separated 4G icon in navigation menu and also fonts in display.

That's the issue then.

look for an app named " Themes Manager For HUAWEI EMUI " from Deishelon Lab.
it will enable fonts on your device then you can start downloading new ones and changing the default font.you can find it on google play. it works well for me . i have an honor 8 FRD-L09 B386.

Theming Problem with notification bar.

The background stays black even if the the notif bars in the themes are white/blue/etc. If you guys could provide me with a solution that would make my day.
Details:
Huawei gr5 2017, emui 5.0, android 7.0
Build # BLL-L22C636B360

Have you been able to sort this out? I've been also trying to change the colour of the bar, both with themes from the Theme Store and by trying to modify a theme with EMUI Theme Editor but was unsuccessful.

You have to root your device. Then, with a root explorer, go to /system/emui/lite/prop , find local.prop and modify the "true" value in ro.build.hw_emui_lite.enable=true for "false". Then reboot and you can full theme notification bar.

Thank you, unfortunately that didn't work. Modified it, rebooted, changed theme to one with modified bar, rebooted again but still stock notification bar. Is it possible, that the emui theme editor just isn't (fully) compatible yet with nougat/emui 5.0?

I've just tried the emui theme editor app and it seems that background colour can't be changed. I guess it isn't fully supported yet. You can get a theme with the panel that you like and then modify it.

I'm using a different device, the P8 Lite 2017 on EMUI 5 and Android 7.0..i tried this trick, but it doesn't work. Im not even talking about the Theme Editor, just the normal themes for EMUI 5, and all they change are the App Icons, wallpaper, and lock screen wallpaper. A bit off topic but still, EMUI 5 theme issue..you guys got them to work correctly?

Sadly, I haven't found a solution to this minor glitch. Though I saw a potential solution. I'll update you guys if it works.

i was having a same problem with default theme app, try different themes or try this:
download this app from playstore
Themes Manager For HUAWEI EMUI, try a justice league theme and apply. If it works then you should be all set, its just the bug with theme which you have downloaded.

substratum doesn't supported by lenovo p2 stock rom.
So use it at your own risks.!!
Reflash stock rom if you facing problems this is only way to get rid of installed theme.

Yes ! themes are working but use at your own risk.. It can brick your device. Bcz stock roms doesn't support OMS. And will modify system stock files. And if anything goes wrong your device might brick/stuck at boot logo.
Sorry for bad English.:good:

The best thing to do is to keep a twrp dackup. If anything goes wrong, install stock deodexed ROM and restore back up.
I did had a few issues at first. But the phone will definately not get hard bricked.

If you know to use substratum properly, then you'll find 2 flashable zips inside the substratum folder. One of which can be used to restore the theme to factory settings

Only apps that will work is Playstore, Android Message App if you want a dark messaging background, Whatsapp, and Youtube. Everything else, no cause it is not Stock Android Apps; including settings. I used Swift Black Theme. Any other app can possibly work if it's on the list to theme it over.. If it doesn't, it' will say so or if the app fc.. Just go to the Overlay List and erase the App that is not working properly. Once your done, reboot and it will take effect.

True, usually that is used if you are doing OTA and the System UI crashes. It does help to get out of that situation when flashing the Substratum Recovery.

Loneelutes most substrate overlays will work. But notification text may get blacked out some time. Pitch black theme would do better in all aspects. All of its overlays worked for me.

I too had pretty bad experiences on stock ROM with substratum..
I use swift black (paid) in custom roms ..but on stock ROM ,I can't even update theme ..
Once if theme gets applied ,we can't change ..
System refuses to change .. and gives me bootloops..
So ..I just apply themes only to Apps but not system files ..
Even though some apps FC when they are updated from playstore , they can be troubleshooted easily ..
Warning : don't change system ui , pixel launcher ..
Things I change :
1) WhatsApp
2) navbar
I don't open others much ..so I don't care about them to be themed ..

Havent had issues with Swift Black..... So just test them, if it doesn't work.. Just go to the overlay list, erase and reboot. It's all about trial and error. Subtratum theme works on whatever app is listed for each theme.. When updating, you have to apply and reboot.. If that doesn't work.. Erase the apps that is themed in the overlay list and then reboot.. Apply the theme as if you are dling it for the first time and reboot again.
It's a bit tedious but that's Lenovo Stock for you. You can try Youtube and Google Playstore too.. And if you want messaging to have a black theme too.. Try Android Messaging app, Swift Black works on that app.

I've been able to change the accent colors,dark notifications and dark theme all around combining ozone and swift black. Currently using white accents.

I've tried Ozone with Substratum and Andromeda but it's not working for me. Are you rooted?

did u have to use Andromeda

Using root+Substratum with "PitchBlack Theme". All the overlays for apps and systemui are working fine, no crash and bugs.

How do you guys get it to work?
I have Substratum with root, installed Ozone, selected dark OOS with light notifications, selected Android System with red accent, compiled and installed, rebooted, enabled it (it turned green), rebooted again, but nothing, system still with those stock ugly accents

After reboot you need to go yo manager and activate the overlays. Ozone / Swift Themes & PB all work fine for me :good:

I think u doing it wrong, for the accent color you choose in ozone to kick in, after reboot u have to select another accent color in OP settings (choose anyone, doesn't matter) enable it, go back again to select the default accent color (in OP settings) and it should be the color u enabled in substratum.
You have to do this because the accent color u enable in ozone isn't automatically enabled.
