Hey there,
This may seem like a silly question but I dunno maybe not.
Is it possible to switch my Huawei P30 phone into a default Android 10 install instead of Huawei's version of Android 10?
I am just so sick of looking at my white navigation bar in 1/2 of my apps, including my own apps that I design and develop, for some reason Huawei has hardcoded the Navigation bar with a white/gray color. Some apps can override it but most, including my own, cannot. I even bulid the Android 10 Dark Mode demo app from Google. Sync'd it from their repo live in my Android studio, built out the APK and ran it and below is what I get.
I'm ready to just dump their Android 10 implementation and go with a flavorless build.. Is it possible? Or is there any way to override that stupid navigation bar color!??

This would require you to install a custom firmware (like LineageOS) and it's next to impossible to do because we have no way to unlock the bootloader.

Ah I didn't know that. Why doesn't Huawei allow us to unlock the bootloader? We own the device. Seems silly we can't do what we want with it. Is this like something that we will eventually be able to do?
There is no indication it will change anytime soon. Our only option is to vote with our wallet.

Well, Since I havent seen this here yet (Maybe I missed it) I thought I would share it with everyone.
Google has just started rolling out an update to the Android Market 3.1.3. Aside from a few slight aesthetic changes, the two main features include the ability to +1 apps and password protect (PIN lock) your Android purchases.
The addition of the +1 button allows you to, obviously, nab +1 apps in the Market while the PIN number feature allows you to securely set up a PIN number for purchases on the app store.

I have installed it and love it and works great and just thought I would share it with everyone that doesnt yet have it or want to wait for the automatic update (If our heros on custom roms will actually update automatically I don't know).
NOTE: Unless you are updating from v3.0 or higher you may need to uninstall the old market updates in order for this to install.
To do so, go to settings/applications/manage applications. Then tap on "all" scroll down to "Market". Tap on the app and select uninstall updates. Once you have done this then go ahead and install the app below.

Enjoy.
Wow, The more I mess around with this and update apps I really like the changes and it seems to be faster too. +1 for Google!
This version definitely seems much snappier! Thank you for sharing
I really came to love tinted system bars, the possibility of the status bar adapting its colour to the app. A quick example for anyone not familiar:

I upgraded to Android 5.0 and am missing this option a lot, it makes my screen look a lot smaller. I found workarounds with 3rd party apps for everything else still not integrated in 5.0 (like PIE controls), but could not find anything for TSB. I know XPOSED doesn't work with ART, but I'd like to know if anyone else had found a possible workaround until we get TSB. All I found was info about how to make apps take advantage of this on www.stackoverflow.com, something way too technical for me as of now.
As of now, I think its just a case of waiting for app developers to update their apps to support it in Lollipop. Some apps (mainly Google apps) support it currently - so its definitely still a feature.
There's no method to.force apps as of right now.

Was afraid of that.. Well, back on Mahdi ROM (4.4.4) again where this & PIE is built in the ROM, I like it better than 5.0 (still).
Thanks for the answer!
Hi
Anyone know of a way that I can disable the lock screen? I finally got my partner to upgrade her GS7 from MM to Nougat and it's all good except that there is no longer the option for no lockscreen
The phone isn't rooted and I have tried a few apps that disables the lockscreen but I assume the phone won't let it run in background because they only work for a short time
Is there a way to change the lockscreen type to none via ADB?
Thanks,

That was what was on it before the upgrade but not now

Strange, that screenshot of mine is running the latest version of Nougat
Do you have secure startup enabled? Maybe another security setting is preventing you from disabling lockscreen security
Nope nothing like that. Was fine before upgrade and now the option just isn't there. Oh well I'll just have to hope to find out why the apps stop working, probably to do with doze.
Thanks anyway

Have you factory reset since the update to Nougat?
Always recommended after a major upgrade as it generally leaves behind bugs, battery drain, and possibly weird things like this
I'd backup and reset the phone because that option should be there
I have this phone known as an i13 Plus. System information states its an Alps i13 Plus. It has Android 8.1 but would like to upgrade it to 9 or more. I dont know if this is phone is known as any other makes or if it can be upgraded at all. Screen shots included.
What I cant work out is that the phone information in settings states that it is running Android 8.1 Oreo. Hitting that repeatedly brings up the oreo cookie pic. However, Device Info HW is stating that it is Android 4.4.2 so Im a bit confused!
Update: Phone is running Android 8.1 but is running a system UI of Android 4.4.2 Kit Kat!

IMO basically every phone's Android can get upgraded ( keyword: Custom ROM). Of course a matching Custom Recovery ( like TWRP ) must get flashed before.

Trouble is I do not know what brand this phone is. Alps does not come up under any of the phone listings in the TWRP site. I have also looked under Welcome brand. Can not find anything.
That's your cheap Chinese low-end phone

IMO you shouldn't waste your time trying to upgrade it.
Id like to try.. it was free after all. LOL

Did you have the watch face option before using the modded Health app? The watch faces and other applications are only available in certain geographical regions (notably not including the U.S. because of the embargo against Huawei). In order to have access, it's necessary to register the Huawei account for the watch in one of the countries that Huawei supports, which is not trivial.

Try pressing on the watch
This is not a joke. I'm meaning the the watch pic on the screen, with the HUAWEI WATCH GT3 text behind. Not the watch itself
