Is there a way or am I searching it wrong to put the launcher on the left side when in landscape mode? Looking for an app mod or anything? I'm not sure where else to ask this question and I didn't see it while searching.
What do you mean launcher? Launcher is all your home screens and app drawer.. Did you mean dock?
He means nav bar...
Never seen one myself, but perhaps try pie controls? Not the same but let's you swipe you nav controls onto the screen from top/bott/left/right depending om settings.
Again, not directly what you ask for but will let you operate nav buttons with that left hand.
Easiest would be to lookup lmt pie controls 2.5 here on xda, or Google and look for the xda link. You will need root.
Oh, I forgot about nav bars. I've used pie for so long, I forget nav bars even exist. Nasty, screen real-estate grabbing, pointless buttons of crap
Sorry guys im an idiot... II did mean the dock/nav bar where your app launcher and such are. Pie is great but not really what im looking for.

Sorry, dock and nav bar are 2 different things.. Which one do you mean? Can you screen shot?
..or do you mean both?

Ok that is dock.
Again, this might not be something you want but I remove my dock and use glovebox to swipe in from the left.. It's always left though even in portrait.. Then it auto hides.
I'm not aware of a mod to change the dock in stock launcher. I'm not aware of any 3rd party launcher that does it. Can't see a setting on nova.
Hmm good stuff, I wonder if there would be a way to make it persistent but that just might do.
Turn your phone in the opposite direction so the volume/power buttons point down?

Hi guys,
I was going to post this in general, but as it is possible development I thought it may best be suited here. Sorry if it isn't!!
Anyway, I'm no developer so I don't know if this is even possible, hence why I thought I'd throw it out there.
What I was thinking is, as a user of the flip clock and also using Stericson lock screen, I have the time in full view of my home screen / lock screen all the time.
The fact it is in the top right corner is of no use to me really. It's also apparent that when you have several icons in the notification bar (especially when plugged in on USB) it gets crowded and tends to hide alot of them.
What is the feasibilty of removing / hiding the clock from the notification bar, and moving the 3g/wifi/bt/battery icons into the right hand corner?
Would this actually be possible? I know this wouldn't suit all users but some people may like this as it would give more space for other icons to appear there.
Any Devs care to elaborate on this?
Thanks.
If you wanted to hide the time, you could just make it transparent using Ohsaka's colorChange.jar. Of course, that wouldn't help with the crowded icons.
I like the time in the right corner, useful for when I'm browsing the web on a break from work.
Or try alternative home app: Home++

Sadly this has been asked quite a few times, problem is they wont answer even though people want it.
I guess for now home++ is a good alternative - though I do like using advanced launcher, so removing it properly from the notification bar would be better.
I guess it's just one of them things - although an official yes or no it can't be done would be nice from a dev?!
Thanks.

which on are you using ?
That is my question.
A comboquestion would be if one could make top bar once inside reading article in blinkfeed be hidden/transparent until scroll up or similar to give more text area when reading (scroolling down). Similar to when top menu in blinkfeed dissapears when scrolling down..
The Navbar in blinkfeed and bar on top once reading an article are completely unnecessary to me and would like them to go away.
It's transparent in homescreen. Optimally I would just like it to be hidden in blinkfeed so you can see as much as possible when scrolling through.
p.s. I already got the blinkfeed share bar removed thank god for that! It's great!

I have not seen this. But I use App settings a xposed module, which can set different dpi for apps. I have changed the dpi to 360 for the HTC news plugin which makes BlinkFeed much better readable and also makes the topbar smaller

Does your homescreen rotate? I thought they fixed that in 4.1??? The homescreen on my N7 rotates. Why doesn't it rotate on the X?

Do you have "Auto-rotate screen" checked in the display options?

yes. everything else rotates fine. just the homescreen/app drawer. this was a known miss for several versions, which I thought was remedied.

That is a feature only for tablets. Quite frankly, it would be annoying on phones, but if you want it, Nova launcher.
Download an alternate launcher such as Nova or Apex and you can enable auto rotate on the home screen launcher.

dammit. i hate launchers. i never got the draw. even when i was a victim of the heavy-hand of Blur, launchers never did it for me. i suppose the old method of modifying a parameter of a file requires root. can't really remember the technical details.
anyway, with the USB on the bottom and the headphones on the top, not having a homescreen (or potentially even the active notifications screen) that rotates kind of sucks.
EDIT: that's right... edit the build.prop file, add the line:
launcher.force_enable_rotation=true

I've been trying to figure this out too, but all I want to rotate is the active display.
do you think something like "active display.force_enable_rotation=true" would work?
Hate launchers? Get my xperia launcher & fix.
I really like the GEL. my only gripe is the lack of rotation on the active display and the persistent google search bar.
I noticed that in landscape mode, bringing up the dock behaves as if the phone has capacitive nav nav keys instead of the onscreen softkeys. Not the most clear photo but on the middle icon the overlap can be seen.
Anyone else got this going on or is there some setting that I'm missing?

Mine doesn't do that.
Reset Nova settings, confirm it works then redo your settings.
You must have edited your padding settings, although just checked and I couldn't replicate. So many settings in Nova so must be something you did.
I'll check it out, I actually restored settings from a U11 now that I think of it lol. That does have capacitive keys...
Can't believe this is the kind if noob mistake I'd make having been here since touch pro 1 -_-

Hm still doing it. Lemme clarify that if I already have the dock out and then rotate,it doesn't do this. It only does it if I have toggle dock mapped to a swipe and I use the gesture to toggle the dock in landscape.

Tested and can confirm that specific "use case" does produce output as per your screenshot.
A small oversight/quirk - notify Nova and they will fix it.
For now, simply rotate back to portrait then back to landscape.
I've been using the Mate 20 for the past 24hours, being first time Huawei/EMUI user, there are some weird experiences going on.
1. Bug - App switcher:
Open recent apps, I'm not able to switch apps by clicking the partially visible adjacent apps (will go to home screen)
The only way to switch apps is by scrolling to the desired app and make sure it shows at the middle of the screen, then click it.
2. Navigation Bar Experience - EMUI? Android 9? :
The navigation keys' positioning is kinda bad. The icons are too packed at the middle of the screen, instead they should be placed more evenly, and the clickable areas should be widen. (I drawn an image below to better explain this)
I'm not sure this is an EMUI thing or Android Pie thing? How to make a suggestion to Huawei?

This is not solution
I agree, the current nav button setup is stupid.
Hope they fix this issue. Until then I'm using Fluidng.

The nav button is controlled by Huawei, or Android 9?

It's controlled by Huawei, btw it's shifted like that because there's a "rotate" button that appears on the nav bar when you tilt your phone and auto rotate is off, you can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWOp1b-5thQ

I see. But that is rarely used. It shouldn't affect the main navigation keys that are the basic function of a phone.
