[Q] Emotion UI replacement?

is there a viable way to replace the Emotion UI yet? Or, are we going to be stuck using the huawei version of Android? Has anyone tried to mod or replace the Emotion UI yet?

I'm also thinking of buying one, but only if there's possibility to install CM ROM on it later. I don't like the Emotion UI. Is there a way to root and any custom ROM for AM7?

The problem seem to be, we cannot set the default launcher to be other Launchers except the Huawei Launcher. ( You can select set default in other Launchers but once you hit home button it will come back to be Huawei Launcher ). As the option to clear default in Apps management has been disabled. If you know how to set the default Launcher please tell us how to do it ?

Yeah this is thr problem i think. Not only the default launcher cant be changed. There was also a review by a user that other apps cant be set as default to open some files; only the default huawei apps can be used.
Too bad. Why did huawei do this?

Actually, yes you can. But you'll have to root it and install an app able to manage the system apps like Titanium Backup. Once you have it, you can install a custom launcher and freeze / uninstall (with the help of Titanium Backup) EMUI launcher.

Thanks for your input, however ,changing a launcher should not involve rooting your phone. It is a build in option of Android. What Huawei is doing, not even Google now Launcher can install, surely Google would not ask users to root their phone in order to install Google now Launcher.

I was under the impression the software for it was locked down so tightly on the phones we've seen because it's a Chinese phone built for the Chinese market and there are certain features that are required to be disabled (Play Store, etc). The Western versions of the AM7 will probably let you change the launcher. If not, your guess is as good as mine.

Huawei EMUI V2.3 still let user change home launcher as normal ( I can confirm this, as I am using Huawei P7 which is china model ) But AM7 which come with EMUI V3 disabled that option. Just hope some one can find way to crack this without needing to root the phone.
Dont know about the other china specific phone, but as far as I know for Huawei and Xiaomi you can side load google services and have full google apps and sync with some work, without the need to root. But some how they decided to disable the option to change Launcher with their latest software update.

Go to settings, Home, and select the launcher you have installed.
Alternatively, go to Play store and download Launcher Switcher.
The first method is easiest.

From your quote, it seem you are using Huawei Acsend P7, which is having EMUI v2.3, yes you can do that as there is Home setting, But we are talking about Huawei Ascend MATE 7 which have EMUI V3.0, there is no such setting. This setting has been disabled. Home switcher does not work either as the clear default option also disabled.

Wow, that's entirely new to me.
So you're saying that Huawei has locked mate 7 users to their UI?
I thought all Android providers had to allow users to choose what skin to utilise.
Thanks, I didn't know. I think that's very un-clever of Huawei. I have both the P7 & P6....they may be the last Huawei's I ever own!!

Yes, there is no way to change the default launcher to a third-party one, such as Nova, if you are running stock EMUI 3.0 without root. I have just confirmed this on my Chinese MT7-TL10. You can only choose between the two built-in EMUI launchers: "Default" and "Simple".
Maybe this will change when an European version is released, but the current Chinese firmware keeps you locked to their UI.

i have my mate 7 (french version) normaly in the end of this week, i check for this when i have it

That is a big letdown, and a dealbreaker for me.
As reviewed by one user, even choosing apps to open certsin files is not possible in mate 7. Its a very basic function in android that huawei has unceremoniously locked up.
Will the asian/ international version be like this also?

No, not when this is XDA and rooting your phone, installing TiBu, and freezing an app takes a whole 5 minutes to do. You may actually learn something along the way as well. You seem like the perfect candidate for an iPhone .

It has root access in menu Security-->Permissions
But the default root access doesn't support Titanium Backup, if you want to use TB you must install SuperSU.apk, don't flash SuperSU via recovery, it will cause boot error.

Lol this one is EPIC. GAPPS stands for google apps. play store is one of the google apps.

I didnt see anything in the description, and most chinese rom do not have playstore. Also do u know why on the x522, the ota update said it is 5.8.020s and the chinese le 2 is 5.9.020s? They are both pretty much same phone.

Guys what's the difference between this ROM and majoj nair's Eui 5.9.20s and jhakjhuk1853's Eui 20s ?

Manoj Nair's and jhakjhuk1853's rom is based on YcJeson, this one is based on times navigator. not sure about other ROMS but this one allows you to setup your phone upon first boot.
restores your application and settings automatically. just the way stock rom does.

No it's not, you can apply any theme that specifically supports Samsung, you can find information about this in the app description or by searching the store with keywords "substratum theme for Samsung" or similar..
Refer to this thread in future

You need to be a APPROVED BETA MEMBER to flash with the updater inside MIUI.
Flash the .tgz in miflash which is what I did and it worked perfect.
Or if you can find a zip for 8.6.26 you can flash it in TWRP.
BOTH REQUIRE AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER.
As for battery, I never had any issues with it in miui 9.5.19..... But Battery seems fine on miui 10 so far. :good:

Oh, okay! Today I'll be able to unlock my bootloader after 360h...
I thought that "Developer" was the Open Beta one, like the Chinese version.

8.6.26 has been running VERY well for me.
ZERO problems besides a tiny bug that cuts off the notification text time "now" when a notification is in the dropdown.
MMS finally works too! I was not able to use this on miui 9.5.19 at all.

Hi,
does anyone have the zip-file for the global rom 8.6.26 which you could upload? Trying to download from Xiaomi servers seems to take a couple of days before it's downloaded....
