So I just received met 12S Ultra yesterday here in the USA. I ordered from Giztop.com They pre-installed google services so no issues there.. I have a T-Mobile sim in the phone and seems to be working.
Questions....
First I installed the "Google" app and it worked yet now it has disappeared on my screen and I can't search for it either though its shows installed on the PlayStore.. Any ideas and is it possible to have the Google news feed show up when I do a swipe right like you can in most phones. I am coming from IOS so bare with me.
Are there any good launchers that can mimic a stock android experience without having to root the phone etc... I want something simple.
I did order the Xiaomi 12S Ultra case and think its great add protection to the camera module.
Lastly does this phone have a screen protector that is installed already by the factory
thanks
It will run if you just select bootloader can be unlocked in dev settings. Install Nova launcher and select google integration.
It would not run without Nova ( china bans google) and Nova wouldnt run without the bootloader switch.
Thanks for your help. I did what you said yet after I installed Nova Launcher I cannot set the Default Home Screen to Nova Launcher. Gives me error message
Something about third parties mistune verified by MIUI..
Sugestions ?
As I said, switch the allow bootloader to be unlocked in dev section. You can then install. I'm sure that's all I did but while in the menus, ensure security settings are allowing 3rd party apps etc.. my dev settings attached.
Thanks I will double check
Also how can I change the play store to the default when I try to select google integration in Nova it takes me to the Xiaomi store
Lastly is there anyway to keep gestures when using a third party launcher right now it says gestures are not supported using third party launcher’s
You need to select Nova as the launcher from within Nova Settings, not the phone settings.

You need to download and install Google integration
I successfully installed the Google Integration app.
In regards to "System navigation" is there anyway for Nova to use Gestures at this point. Right now it will not let me switch to Gestures...
Finally if and when Xiaomi does release a "International" version of the 12S Ultra will it possible to install that ROM instead of the Chinese version?
Not sure about the gestures but yes, you can change ROM, if they do and they say that they not currently due to shortages.
The Xiaomi EU group will be adding Thor (12s Ultra ) to their released ROM collection. Pop over to their forum for more info when they release their version. You will need to unlock your bootloader (168 hour wait between starting and actually unlocking the bootloader) and flash the ROM using fastboot (and format) if there is no TWRP when they do.
Once flashed, it will behave as if the bootloader is locked, so everything works. They release a stable and a weekly (or beta) version of nearly all supportable Xiaomi phones. You will need to decide which version you want as you cannot change without a further format (due to partition differences between them).
It is based on the Chinese releases but fully useable by all. More info about what their ROMs contain can be found on their ROM release. Hope it helps, I'm not try to teach you to suck eggs but I don't know your level of knowledge.
@Sathelp thanks for all your help.
Hmm what I really need is Android Auto to work though I am not sure this will ever happen.
I know just enough to be dangerous I guess.
Would something like this work?
Replace MIUI with Stock Android — Detailed Guide - xiaomiui
Xiaomi users who see Google Pixel users have dreamed of replace MIUI with stock Android at least once. Because when compared to MIUI, Pixel devices have a
xiaomiui.net
The 11ultra has now a version of stock android. It is in its infancy but as 11ultra had a global release there was more chance that someone would develop one, where the 10 didn't and 12ultra doesn't look like a global release.
Users do have Xiaomi EU working with android auto and this because of the full implementation of the Google framework so there is hope yet for you. Just keep browsing the Xiaomi EU group forums as well as here.

Google Discover/Feed is not available in the MIUI 13 Chinese ROM.
Yuu will need to use a 3rd party launcher (e.g. I use and recommend Nova and Nova-Companion plug in)

Go into Nova app settings and set the default launcher in there (that works I tested it)
See screenshot, I can select from miui menu too.

I'm really tempted to get one of these to replace my s8+, but I'm not sure if I could go without an app drawer. Could I perhaps delete the default launcher using adb? Or would that crash the whole phone?
Edit: this is what worked for me, putting it on the top so other people can find it more easily.
1. Make sure you have Nova or third party launcher installed.
2. Enable usb debugging in developer options.
3. Connect to your computer via usb
4. Type in:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.launcher
Optional if you use Gesture control:
5. Swiping gestures from the bottom of the screen won't work, if you want to use gesture controls, download fluid or edge gestures from play store (one is a freemium app and the other is a paid app). I heard Fluid is really really good and it's a sort of free, but I already have Edge Gestures because I bought it for my M5 tablet, so that's what I use instead.
6. Enable gesture app in accessibility services.
7. Type in special access in settings, and disable battery optimization for that app.
8. Go to battery option> battery usage, find gesture app, choose manually launch app and check all three options.
9. Go to recent apps, and tap the lock icon of gesture app to keep the app open in background, or the accessibility services will be revoked.
Hope it works for you.
Just use Nova and then set it as default.
does it not give you the option of using an app drawer like other Huawei phones?
It has but Huawei software is the worst and only drawback of Huawei/Honor phones. If you can ignore the EMUI crapware Huawei phones are the best. Before you could just flash a custom ROM. Now since Huawei no longer provide code, it's impossible. You can get code via third party software but as it's paid there won't be much development.
had the Mate 9 and never had any issues with the Huawei software personally. Dont understand the hate it seems to generate. If the Magic 2 is the same, although i see its been updated from EMUI 9 to MAGIC 2 software now then im very interested in this phone. Just waiting for either global versions to be available or a UK version if they decide to release it here
I tried,adb shell to disable official APP then you can use Nova but still impossible to set the default launcher. But you could still use nova Swip up gesture may be disable to just tap nova in the default setting can fix this . But swip up to show the recent can't work anymore
My Magic 2 has arrived. I installed Nova Launcher on it. At first I disabled the default Launcher but it kept coming back when I rebooted it. So I just uninstalled the default Launcher using ADB.
Another problem I ran into is that when using Nova Launcher, the swipe up gestures don't work, so I had to buy a third party gesture app. But the accessibility services keep turning itself off. I tried managing the app manually in Phone Manager but sometimes the gesture app would still get disabled. Lol.

Welcome to Huawei World. The Magic 2 is an expensive phone. So instead of this stuff I would advise you to stomach the software and enjoy it. Accessibility service is a long running problem of EMUI 8 & 9. So at this point, if you are up for it, I advise you to unlock your Bootloader via and third party software. They are paid, keep that in mind. After that flash any project Treble GSI. However keep in Mind you are Running EMUI 9 so it may not work. Alternatively your best bet is to hope for a change and stomach it.

Thabks for the reply. It must be an Honor issue I guess. I have the same gesture navigation app installed on my M5 tablet and I had no issues with it. Although I can't remember if that was before or after I flashed OpenKirin on it. It seems to be working now that I disabled auto optimization for my gesture app. Fingers crossed.
I think I've worked it out now. As long as I have the gesture app opened in the background and have the battery optimization set to manual for the app, the accessibility services won't be disabled. Which leads me to another minor problem of not being able to use the clear app function or I'll have to turn it on again. I think I can live with that for now, at least the behavior is predictable and I know what is causing the problem.

Good Luck Man. At this point buying from Huawei/Honor is a risky investment. I hope yours is worth it. With the bootloader fiasco development for these phones is non-existent. There is some hope it may change given the backlash but, well. Good Luck. From what I have heard the Magic 2 is a good phone. Enjoy it. As for me, I am gonna try to avoid these phone. But they are the only budget phones with Good Specs so I am stuck. And yeah. The issues always go away after flashing custom ROMs.

Yeah man. Im switching from a US unlocked s8+, that has no unlocked bootloader or any dev as well. I do miss my OnePlus though, but it's such a shame that the 6T has no LED notification nor an AOD. Otherwise I would've bought it even though the SD845 is half a generation behind the Kirin 980.

Notification LED Is a loss. But you can enable AOD via Root. Or you know, just flash a custom ROM.

Hello! I'm thinking about buying this phone. But as you have it, there are some things I need to know:
1) Does it have Google play installed? Or do you have to install it yourself? If so, was it difficult or you just enter the honor store, look for Google, and download it?
2) Too many Chinese phones have problems with third party apps notifications (especially WhatsApp). Like you don't receive the notification unless you open the app. Does it happen with the honor Magic 2 Too?
3) The always on display in most Chinese phones is useless cause only shows notifications from messages, phone calls or some Chinese apps like WeChat or QQ (no Gmail, Facebook, WhatsApp).
4) Although the phone has Spanish language, the virtual assistant only works with Chinese voice.
Thanks

1) It has Google framework preinstalled, and you would just need to download play store on Huawei app gallery. It's as simple as that.
2) I get WhatsApp messages instantly with the screen off.
3) The AOD is very basic. So it only has the time, battery level. The lockscreen shows you the song you're playing (on Google play music, but not Spotify strangely) and some shortcuts.
4) The phone has Spanish but the assistant is in Chinese only. I'm not sure if they've updated it are planning to update it. I uninstalled it via ADB so can't test that out for you.
I install nova launcher , and use adb command remove default launcher:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.launcher
It's work! I can use nova launcher as my default launcher...
But there is a BIG problem:
The home key (or home gesture) don't work! It's mean I can go home at anywhere...
ps: Go "Huawei Store" install & run huawei launcher again can let stock launcher back without factory reset.

I use edge gestures from the play store, it cost like $2 but I had it already because I bought it to use with my tablet.
You have to go to the recent apps page and lock it in, as well as ignore the battery optimization for it to keep working, otherwise emui will keep disabling its accessibility services access.

Because your are only disabling the apk, NOT uninstalling (which you can't without root). The gestures are only working with the build in launcher.

Did you manage to enable Google Assistant?
For me the app itself works but I can't enable "Access with Voice Match" to say "OK Google" from any screen, not sure why.
How bad is the os? i understand i can only install a third party launcher in the global version. I saw this one in amazon https://www.amazon.com/Snapdragon-A...C6/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me= could anyone tell me if it's the global version or not? Also, could i use substratum on it?. Also, is it possible to modify the swipe from the bottom for settings ? is the screen as good as the note 8? (phone i currently own). How good are the cameras? does the assistant button trigger google assistant on the global version? thanks everyone
Hi. I am using vivo nex s global and first thing i installed was nova launcher. It's more comfortable for me. I can't compare display with note 8 but i heard it is very similar. AI button can be set to Google assistant. And to that cameras: selfie camera is good but not the best and main cameras are somwhere between iphone 7 and iphone 8. Especially in low light

I don't have any problems or complaints with Funtouch. I have yet to use other launchers, but if I did, I'd probably would have complaints as I would've conformed to the other launcher.
The picture below shows the bottom slide up menu using gestures. The red circle shows settings icon when you slide up to access this menu. You can't assign a gesture for settings, but you can switch gesture location from left to right.
Reading the questions about playstore, seller says it can be installed. Global version comes with it pre-installed. Also seller says nova can't be used. I think it's Chinese version and not global, I'd avoid.

Thank you for your reply, but sorry
My find x2 pro is probably the Chinese version.
On default app in app management, i can't show choice for system apps.
So I'm looking for other way to change it with adb etc.
Hey guys,
I had the CN x2, but the restrictions were too big and I sold it again. 1. I hope that there will be a root as soon as it falls below 1000 euros in Europe and is therefore affordable for more people. Had my search, because of Nova, found this and it went pretty well. Only important for the CN version

Hello,
I contacted Oppo's support about third party launcher. They seems suprised it is not possible to use another one. They will look deeper in this issue as , for the moment, it is not possible to select another launcher as homescreen in default apps, for chinese rom.
I hope they will deploy a fix for it
Finally, Oppo's support just answered me that this feature is not supported by this device.
I am quite disappointed and think about selling this great phone in order to go to another brand ( maybe oneplus 8 pro )....

It's supported on non-CN models. Only CN locks out launcher switch. Same with the 5 autostart Apps.

Pixel launcher has the annoying search bar on its home screen which is irremovable.
Nova launcher is arguably the best for customizability. But there's something that ticks me off when using Nova. Whenever you open recent apps the transition isn't smooth as with Pixel. It has a small hiccup.
(See https://imgur.com/a/lewvZu3 for what I mean)
I tried almost every launcher on the market and they all had the same problem.
So I contacted Nova's development team to give them my feedback. This is what they had to say:
"Hello,
PLEASE READ THIS RESPONSE IN FULL!
You can read Google's official statement and our statement about the issues you and anyone else using Android 10 and Android 11 are experiencing. Please take note that Google admits to this being broken on their end of things and that a fix will be coming in a future update to Android(Stated March 2019.).
However, it's now well over a year later and there are still many issues with full system gestures and 3rd party launchers on both Android and Android 11. These issues will remain for the foreseeable future as Google has no plans to completely fix their full system gestures.
This includes things such as the CLOSE ALL/CLEAR ALL button not showing up when you access the Recent Apps screen. As well as a delay of being able to tap on app icons when returning to the home screen from another app, from viewing the Recent Apps screen or anything similar.
These problems will still be there when Android 11 is released in its final form as Google has made it clear it's not going to fix/change things any time soon.
Please understand, there is absolutely NOTHING WE CAN DO TO FIX OR CHANGE THIS IN ANY WAY! Contact Google or your device OEM directly with these issues as contacting any launcher developer isn't the correct thing to do and isn't going to accomplish anything.
SAMSUNG USERS: Samsung has enabled full system gestures to be enabled within 3rd party launchers with their One UI 2.5 update. This means you can enable those gestures, but things are still very broken, especially when it comes to animations and how smooth the gestures work. This is NOT something Nova, or any other 3rd party launcher can fix. Only Google can fix it.
In the end, none of this is something we(Nova) can fix or change in any way and neither can any other 3rd party launcher for that matter. It is ultimately up to Google and only Google to fix full system gestures completely. Though they have made it clear that full system gestures will remain broken even with the final release of Android 11 and likely well beyond that.
We understand that this statement was made during a beta version of Android 10. However, as is stated in the below URL, this issue will remain broken even after Android 10, and now Android 11, is released in its final form. What this means is that Google knew well ahead of time that they had no plans to fix this until much later so it's still a relative issue today.
GOOGLE'S STATEMENT:
https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2019/07/android-q-beta-5-update.html
OUR STATEMENT:
https://help.teslacoilapps.com/faq/gesture-navigation
As of the December 2019 Security Patch from Google, you can now enable full system gestures within 3rd party launchers. However, please note, there are still a lot of issues with the gesture system such as animations not working, Close All button not showing up and several other things. This is not something any launcher developer, including us here at Nova, can fix or change in any way.
This is still all up to Google to fix at some point in the future and to get things working 100% the way everyone expects them to be.
If you experience any issues at all while using full system gestures, it is highly suggested that you contact Google directly and/or file bug reports with them directly so that your voice can be heard by them directly.
ACTION LAUNCHER'S FALSE CLAIMS: Action Launcher made an announcement back in late December 2019, is actually misleading and 100% incorrect. They are referring to the back swipe edit zones and similar stuff. Full system gestures are completely controlled by Android and not something a launcher can just suddenly add support for or change in any way.
If you actually try to use the full system gestures in Action Launcher, you'll see they are still as broken as they have been and will remain that way until Google fixes things themselves."
Edit: uploaded an animated gif of the example but XDA converted it to a still image, so I had to upload on imgur.
I'm using Nova as well. Have you also had an issue when swiping up and holding to access recent apps, the apps fill the entire screen instead of showing the smaller preview window?

Just updated to A11 beta and the bugs are gone. It's working smoothly now.
The gestures work fine if you're willing to root and use QuickSwitch with a supported launcher. (No third party launchers support A11 with QuickSwitch yet though)

i have this problem on a oneplus ,Do you have enable the navigation with gestures?
when i use navigation bar this issue solve it most of the times its a common problem on nova for not having all the code for android 10 as nova tell that navigation gestures on android 10 are not totally compatible with the launcher

Awesome! Thanks!
Hello, I recently had on my poco F2 pro european version, the update to android 11. Since this update (12.2.1.0) gesture navigation on nova laucher bug while on android 10 there was no problem. Gesture bugs occur on all alternative launchers. Only back gestures work, and Home and Recent App only works on the Home page. It is impossible to go to home when I am on facebook for example. I don't know where it comes from, after the advice on xiaomi after-sales service I carried out a factory restore but without success. Thank you in advance for your answers.
Same as you, only I'm on the global version. Tried the factory reset as well.
For me just recents don't work.

MIUI 12 issues still exist with Nova, Lawnchair, & other 3rd-party launchers
Xiaomi's MIUI 12 still casues issues with thrid-party launchers like Nova, Lawnchair, and more as per the latest user reports.

Same here, 'recents' don't work with Smart-Launcher'
Okay, from what I can see I'm not alone. Do you think this will be resolved with future updates or is android blocking this?

It's probably MIUI issue, because it works in AOSP ROMs.
Ah okay I thought the problem was similar to that android 10 at launch. What surprises me is that miui 12 under android 10 did not have this problem ...
same, i'm using lawnchair launcher. need to use default launcher for the time being.

I don't know, some say it works
Just don't update to latest "stable", it's not worth it.
In addition to lack of gesture support for 3rd party launchers (a huge annoyance, since if they don't restore these, I'll probably ditch F2 and move on to something more useable, besides Poco's launcher is a proper eyesore with that big bar at the bottom). Also I've been having issues with performance, lack of smoothness & often times Youtube crashing for no reason (when I'm not using it etc.).
Holy ****! So it's not just me.. Guess it's time to root my phone
ok, i have not found a working launcher! (i have tried 12x different apps!)
btw:
Nova 7 beta has the same problem!
no way out!
btw.
i have written to nova dev. They have answered they could not do anything against that behavior because xiaomi have to do that.
Must be a Poco F2 Pro specific issue..
i have seen, that the size of newer versions of poco launcher (>v. xxx.10) was reduced more than 10mb against older versions. No wonder, that we got problems.
no differences in behaviors if miui optimization is switched to on or off. Same result!
so wie have to wait for newer firmware fixes.
I have same problem, i cant open recents, and cant use gestures with other launchers.
Can some of you recommend custom rom with "swipe gestures" and "wake up on taking up" the fone features?
