Can't reach to pull down the Quick Settings - Huawei P30 Questions & Answers

So I've just jumped from a Samsung A5 2017 to a P30 and generally loving it. But it's a tad taller and on Samsung's UI its easy to swipe down from the middle of the screen to pull down new Notifications or the QuickSettings menu. On the P30 this doesn't work. Instead swiping down from middle of Home Screen invokes the Search the phone function... Is there something I'm missing in the customisation options to be able to set this up? I have the Gestures set to old school three buttons at the moment. The new Android style swipe gestures seem a bit slower for me to navigate. I see under 'Suggested Apps' on the right of this screen a suggested app 'Navigation Gestures'. I see in the video it offers a swipe up from bottom to invoke Notifications so this could be an answer but I would have thought there would have been some kind of simple configuring I could do which would solve what is a major UI problem - unless you have hands like an Orangutan that is.

Sounds like "Hisearch" causing it
Either install a different launcher (Do yourself a favour and install Nova launcher) or use ADB commands to disable Hisearch (Instructions here on XDA for debloating)

Where are those instructions for debloating?

is it me or these pm commands no longer work on Android 10? just tried this via 2 machines on my P30 and no joy. note that I am a seasoned ADB user and have had zero issues debloating my Mate 20 Pro and P20 Pro.

Search device app

Hi,
The Emui has an cool new feature, by swiping down on the main page you open a device-search option(app?). Does anybody know the name of this app so I could trigger it with another launcher like Nova? It is like the SFinder on Samsung, does it have options ton configure what you want to search?
Do you mean the 'HiBoard'?
Tap and hold on home screen, click 'More settings' button. You can enable or disable the HiBoard.
It does have a setting button on right upper corner.

Is this feature working for you, using the emui launcher?
I can't get it working. Is there any option to activate it?
That feature only works if you have selected standard in settings-home screen style.

In Germany we have no HiBoard Option. But i think, what he mean is the searchbar when you swipe down on the homescreen. @soky001, Can you share a screenvideo of this option?
Gesendet von meinem MHA-L29 mit Tapatalk
Yes thats exactly what I mean, on Standard Launcher ( not the Drawer-Variant ) just swipe down anywhere on screen and you get a searchbox where you can type what you want to search and then get e.g. Contacts suggested.
Sorry guys that I cant post a video of this, thats because I am new to this forum and just don't know how to do this..
HIBOARD is awesome only thing it lacks now is daily events and schedules option also

Hi soky001,
The device-search option you are talking about is unfortunately not an app. It is already a built-in feature in the Huawei Home launcher and is not going to be triggered in any other launcher apps unless you edit it with that feature. It also don't have any options or settings on your 2nd question. Hope I helped.
I found it
its called global search
Global search
About global search Use global search to find apps, contacts, and messages on your phone.Swipe down on a blank part of the home screen to open the global search window and then enter your search terms
If its hard to get
Just make a new blank page and swipe down to get the search bar

It is an old feature, since emui 4 i think.
I had it on my mate 7
Turn off scroll down search function in emui
Lol i actually wana turn this feature off. Any suggestions on how to do this without using another launcher. Got my first huawei (mate 10 pro) and while I'm liking emui this scroll down is getting annoying as I mistakingly activate it when I'm trying to check notifcations

Seriously, its really annoying. There is no workaround for it. Only option is to set the homescreen style to standard instead of drawer. Sad.
It's necroposting day today, kids. It's the hivision app you speak of
It's HiSearch on Mate 9, EMUI 9.0.1
If you don't have root, use ADB from PC (search on XDA for Minimal ADB and Fastboot thread with installation) and use the command:
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.search
f you ever want to re-enable back, use:
Code:
adb shell cmd package install-existing com.huawei.search
Edit:
If you disable instead of 'uninstalling':
Code:
adb shell pm disable-user com.huawei.search
then you can re-enable if needed from Settings/Apps: Disabled & Show system proccesses

(Question) Pixel 2/Pixel 2 XL ADB Change Navigation Bar Color?

Hey guys, Im new to here.
So, basically I was reading another thread talking about using adb shell command to change the variables of the colour index setting of the android navigation bar. However, only available on S8 (?). I tried multiple times inputting the following commands into my mac terminal by connecting to my pixel 2 XL and reboot, no luck. What I wanted to was to make the navigation bar looks translucent so in certain apps like Chrome I would be able to view the contents seep through the bar's transparency thus making the screen looks bigger.
adb shell settings put global navigationbar_color -0
adb shell settings put global navigationbar_currentcolor -0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Does anyone know if the above commands only works on S8, which enables user to change the setting> display> navigation bar? Appreciate if this could be answered in the adb manner cause I didn't really like how the navbar app worked.
Im currently using the Navigation hider app, this works perfectly if you havent tried please do. But I just want to explore for an alternative.
P.s. Sorry I couldn't post the link of the app here since XDA forum implemented a policy preventing user to spam.

[HOW TO]Move the clock in Android Pie

How to move the clock on the right or put it in the center on android pie​
There is a way to move the clock on the right where it was. For me, personally, I get used to to be in the left, but I also like to be able to personalize my phone on the way I want. Now, this is possible
1. You need to install an app called System UI Tuner and register for the beta program. After this, you have to receive an update of the app. Update it.
2. Need to give it permission through ADB. Here are the commands:
adb shell pm grant com.zacharee1.systemuituner android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
adb shell pm grant com.zacharee1.systemuituner android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS
adb shell pm grant com.zacharee1.systemuituner android.permission.DUMP
3.Go to Status bar > Custom and click Add item. Enter the key "right_clock_position". Enter whatever name for it you want. The new item will be created. Toggle it OFF.

The littles little buggy for me, just keep it in mind. Also, the clock can be moved in the center with "middle_clock_position"

Thank you sooooooo much for this FIX, it was driving me nuts!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! Best pie mod ever!
fantastic app, there is the option to hide status bar e recall it with a swype when needed
Wish this had come out sooner, but LOVE it!
OK, I'm an idiot...where do I sign up for the beta of System UI Tuner?
I found it.... (I'm still an idiot)
From the last update of the app, you don't need anymore to add keys. There is option for moving the clock.

So glad to have the clock back where it belongs

So where is it?
After you have installed the app, wait about 15 - 20 minutes, and go back into the play store on that app, and you should see a link to join the beta program. I did it from the phone, I don't know if it shows up on a PC.
AWESOME!!! Thanks ?
Does it have date in status bar?

FYI,to the OP and everyone who used this method: You don't need to do anything in special to accomplish this. Go to settings>press the magnifying glass and type in "clock"> go to "clock style" and choose whatever one you desire including the big font one prior to android pie. Your welcome.

Must of overlooked the status bar part.
Good lock app is now available in Galaxy Store with a module to move the clock position in the status bar, as well as tons more awesome customization options. For those of you who have disabled galaxy store, the apk for Good Lock and its modules can also be found on apkmirror.com
I had never used this app prior to Pie but I must say, its pretty friggin sweet! I highly recommend it to all galaxy device owners (unfortunately it's not yet compatible with Galaxy S10(+) apparently)

Anyway to show date on the status bar without an app?
I don't think is possible? At least I don't know.
PS:
About the guide in OP. Now is kinda useless because you can do this with Good Lock.
I tried it on my huawei mate 10 and it didn't work. Is a reboot needed after, perhaps? I prefer the clock in the middle.

Bitmoji AOD Clock removal

I want to get rid of the Bitmoji aod clock from my Oneplus Nord. I tried looking through all the packages on my phone so that i could uninstall it using the adb shell, but i could not find a package specific to this. I found a package for the "insight" clock (net.oneplus.odm.provider) but not the bitmoji one. Could someone help me out?
So i tried uninstalling the insight clock package, but that didn't work either
pm uninstall --user 0 net.oneplus.odm.provider
It uninstalled the package but the clock is still available and functional.
I'd like to get rid of this and the bitmoji aod clock
Has nobody found a solution to get rid of these stupid bitmoji things?
Please help!
I found it myself:
Settings- Customization- Clock on ambient display
Now choose anything other then Bitmoji and you're done!

Question 3rd Party Launcher with Vivid Navigation Gestures

In the app settings for Vivid Navigation Gestures, it has the option to hide the navigation bar. It says I can do it through ADB without root. Does anyone know how to do this or can give me steps to do this without root? Thanks!
so i entered the command (ive tried this with Fluid navigations also) that it gives to hide the navigation bar and it does not hide the buttons or the navigation bar... Is there a way to hide them and still use a 3rd party launcher with either Fluid or Vivid navigation apps? Thanks

Does not work on miui there is only one way I found without root that would work. I'll post it later. Much easier with root and no reason not to root
Ok. How would I do it if I did root? I'm just kinda worried I might mess up the phone.... If I only have a Mac computer can I still root? Thank you.

i know nothing about MAC you'll have to google.
use the app setedit you can download in the play store
use adb to get the proper permissions, if you check the app description in the play store it says the command you need to enter
select global table on the right side and find
force_fsg_nav_bar 1
i'm not sure if the standard value is 0 or 1 cause I already have mine changed. so if its 1 change it to 0. if its 0 change to 1.
you will have to do this everytime you reboot though
much easier and better to root, install magisk and hide with a module. read my tips/tricks thread on what you need to do
Thanks, the setedit app worked great. When I restart the phone, do i just have to go back in to change the value? That would be all I need to do to have it hiding the buttons? Thanks again!

Yes. There is a way to buy the app and it will auto do it when you reboot too. You'll have to try to figure it out
You can hide navbar without root using adb by changing into miui gestures overlay. It works until you reboot your decide, then you have to repeat.
Here's the command:
adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural

Hey all:
Vivid Gestures keeps losing accessibility settings, and I need to keep reenabling it.
Does anyone else have this problem and (ideally) some kind of solution.
Thanks
Ok...
Started using Full Screen Gestures, and that seems to work better
You cant use third party launchers then, correct?
Full Screen Gestures is an app, an alternative to Vivid.
It seems to play nicer with the Fold 2.

And I'm using Niagra as my launcher, which is great with foldables.
