Hello,
I was changing ivons shape back and forth, and left it woth teardrop, even though I didn't like it much. That night I got oneui3.0 update, and after that, the option to change icon shape disappeared from settings.
I hate teardrop ones. Is there a way go get basic oneui icon shape back?
Thanks

Since Hyperdrive RLS13 came with Icon Changer Free, I've done some customizing to my home screen. Everything has gone well up to the point where I wanted to change the icon for the 'Apps' icon. There's no such item listed via the Icon Changer Free menus - is there a pretty quick and easy way to change this icon? I'm using the Neon Blue GO Launcher icons if that matters.
I'm also trying to figure out if it's possible to change the icons used for the lock screen. My best guess at this point is that I'd need to pull the apps onto my PC, change the icon there permanently, then re-load them to my phone? Is that correct?
Thanks in advance for any help!
One new thing to add. I removed the icon names with Icon Changer Free, yet when I reboot, all the icon names are back. Any fix for this as well?
Just switched over to the H8. Took the Android 7 upgrade and did a boot loader unlock/TWRP/root.
I went on a quest to get the Nav Bar to hide. I tried a few things (apps out of the app store) none of which really worked. I also made a few changes to build.prop (I'll tell you about that in a second). At some point I realized the NAV bar was GONE. Sometimes I could get it to come back up and sometimes not.
Now I have it back but it has the "hide" button on the left which SHOULD be good except once you hide it, no amount of coaxing will reliably bring it back up. So either I don't know how to bring it up (just swipe up from the bottom, right?) or something is still broken. At this point, I'd be happy just to get rid of the hide button.
I did a few tries with (with both 0 and 1 values)
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
ro.config.showNavigationBar=false
If you set mainkeys=1 the screen will go black after unlocking. The true/false seems to control the switch on the nav button menu, not the nav bar itself.
In addition in the global settings namespace there is:
navigationbar_is_min=0
policy_control=null*
If you hide the bar, is_min goes to 1 but changing it manually doesn't help. The policy control ought to hide bars if set right but seems to not have any effect.
Any ideas? What am I missing? Something is making it put that extra button on the nav bar.
Update:
Setting policy_control to "" brings the bar back but... it floats over the screen. It works but the app on the screen is "under" it, as though it were pulled up. So I suspect I need to google a different value of policy_control.
If someone has the same setup and could do from an adb shell:
settings get global policy_control
That would be interesting.
Update #2: Rebooting with the taskbar up seems to correct that, but there is still the hide button on the left hand side. Now if it works and I just don't know how to make it reappear that's exactly what I'm after. But as it is if you make a mistake and hide it, it is hard to recover (and yes I know about the floating dock).
Final Update (?)
Ok I think I got it, although I never got it back to stock. Instead of trying to get out of immersive mode I should have gone in for it. From ADB I did:
settings put global policy_control "immersive.full=*"
or
settings put global policy_control "immersive.navigation=*"
That seems to do what I want. The nav bar hides until you swipe up or bring the notifications down. If the keyboard or something else is under it you can use the hide button to push it away. Success! Well... maybe... it seems like I lost it again, but for awhile it was behaving exactly as you'd expect.... hmm..
I've tried to replace the navbar with gestures before, and the best I got was to completely hide the nav.
There are also some apps on the play store that let you do that, and work pretty well.
The problem is the modifications that Huawei made to the OS are so extensive, that messing with the navbar in ways that other devices work, may just break it completely.
It's a pain in the butt to do anything on this phone.
Well I had a few hours of success where the bar hid and would show. Sometimes a drag up would not work but bringing the status bar down would also bring the menu up and that's workable. But... this morning. it decided to hide all the time again. So I can eventually coax it back with settings changes, but that's really not handy at all.
Ok I think I have a better idea now. The build.prop has the
ro.config.showNavigationBar=false
This controls if the "Show navigation bar" shows up in settings (and that's all it controls). However... I had it turned ON and then removed that line from build prop. So having it on appears to control the hide button and that's all.
Meanwhile all the immersive mode stuff was just further confusing.
So the working config seems to be:
Set the nav bar to true in build prob.
the settings should have policy_control to null*
the settings should have navigationbar_is_min 0
then once rebooted, slide the Navigation Bar OFF on the Navigation Key setting (not sure where this is stored).
So it is confusing because Navigation Bar OFF must mean more "Navigation Bar hiding OFF"
Better idea is to leave the nav bar alone. However, if you had a 3rd party replacement (or you like using the floating dock which I don't) then setting the is_min setting to 1 might be just what you want. Just reboot and that sucker stays gone most of the time.
So once I had that sorted out: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.immersive does what I wanted. What an adventure!
Hi,
I know this thread is kind of old, but I've also been trying to his the navy bar, only difference is I never want it to come back.
I've tried qemu.hw.mainkeys and got the black screen after locking, tried is_min setting but it hid the keys on the bar but lleft a bar at the bottom of the screen.
Any ideas on how I can make it vanish forever?
Thanks

Are you in EMUI 5 or 4?
Sent from my Honor 8 using XDA Labs
Is there a way to change the color of the status bar icons yet?
The stock white is killing me, My eyes are not what they use to be. In past phones I had changed them to a bright green which was easy to read.
I would also be happy If I could make those icons larger somehow.
I also have a hard time seeing the notifications on my lock screen, Larger text would be great.
One would think Android would give us an option for visually impaired just like they did for the hearing impaired
Thanks
You could go to settings -> display -> zoom screen and font
There you can change the size of things on your screen, and make fonts bigger.
Thanks, I just tried that, it doesnt change the size of the status bar nor the lock screen notifications
Google introduced a status bar icon editor back in developer previews of 8.0, yet seemed to have vanished from public release.
This is the menu where you used to hold the gear icon on the status bar, it would spin and unlock the editor.
For this, you can use any "activity launcher" however I will explain using Nova.
Long press on the home screen.
Select widgets.
Then you'll see "Activies" - press this.
Scroll down to "System UI" - touch it. You'll then see "Demo mode"(3rd option down) - touch this and a little wrench will appear on your home screen.
Press it. You'll see the status bar editor open up. Select status bar, and turn off the icons you want removed.
After this, reboot. And they will be gone.
I have Bluetooth, Alarm Clock, and signal bars all removed. Makes the status bar just clean and neat.
Give it a try!
ENJOY!
This is a great hidden find, unfortunately I wasn't able to remove the battery icon.... I don't need that with percentage showing.
Didn't work on my Global version. I can unselect then but after rebooting they are all still there.

I'm using the global version, and it works great on mine and another buddies of mine.
What version software do you have?
Only WiFi seems to disappear for me. Other icons just reappear on my global variant of the Mate 20 X. But thank you for the guide regardless.
Also wish the performance mode icon could be hidden, but that's not even an option.
Sigh, if we could just get near stock Android + sprinkles of EMUI customisations, I'd be so happy.. I love the hardware, camera, overall feel of the Mate 20 X but keep finding myself playing with my 6T and Pixel 2 XL because the software is a tough pill to swallow on the Huawei phone.

Seems like some toggles work, while some others don't :/
Would love to hide the VoLTE icon on the status bar. Or some way to rearrange the ordering if possible.
Edit: Just realized I can simply turn off VoLTE in the mobile networks settings (since I don't use it) to remove the icon.
can u explain 1 2 3
how i can remove eye comfort and volte?

Wow, I was really excited about this, but my phone automatically overrides it at boot. I think I can see it for a split second before it reverts, but it might just be populating the icons.
Anybody know more about this?
I am using lawn chair V2 launcher and although you can't hide icons you can set it to hide the whole status bar, very clean and to see the bar you just pull down from the top of the screen
I am currently in MiUI 12 and I realized that in the status bar it does not show more than 3 icons followed by the 3 points when you have more and I feel that it is not useful since we do not have any notch or hole on the screen, it is possible in any hidden settings activate so that more can be seen?
I never realized this is what was happening!
I thought the dot was some weird icon! Yeah, that is silly on their part!
In Develop Options > Display cut-out, you can choose different notch views, the status bar changes, but dunno if this is the solution.

If I'm not talking nonsense, Xiaomi already had this way of displaying icons in the status bar, long before hole / notch phones existed.
My Mi4c (2015) worked this way
