Write System Settings? - Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers

Hi,
New to Huawei P9 Plus, what does the "Write System Settings" under advanced settings do? Also should I disable it for apps like "Facebook" and "Youtube" too?
TIA!

[Q] Where is "Lock SMS App" in CyanogenMod 9 settings

Hello, everyone!
I have a little question: in CyanogenMod 7 there is an option [In the "Performance" tab] called "Lock SMS App" (something like this). It basically makes the phone not to miss any SMS in cases of low memory.
I tried to find this option in CyanogenMod 9 (IScreamDX) and I don't know where it is. Does anybody know?
Thank you in advance!

[Q] Enable notification access for app *solved*

Is there some kind of trick to get the setting to enable "notification access" for an app? In the system settings this is not available... I have root.
*Update*
After searching and trying, i found a solution for myself
You need an app that creates a shortcut to an activity.
I used Nova Launcer and created a shortcut to Settings$NotificationAccessSettingsActivity.
maybe with Xposed? i tried with an app from play store but no luck

Thank you man. I also used the Nova Launcher Shortcut. Locate it by long tapping, selecting widgets, selecting Shortcut and then scrolling down to the Settings Activity Notification Access Option.
This method also allowed me to access "Apps with usage access" using the Settings$UsageAccessSettingsActivity. Thank you!
By the way, initially I was having issues adding widgets/shortcuts to the Nova Launcher homescreens. If anyone else is having this issue, it can be solved by installing/converting Nova Launcher to a System app. Apparently this grants it some additional otherwise inaccessible permissions by default. Cheers!

N920V "Just Once" open with option disappear after factory resetting

After factory resetting my 920V, the default app launch option, known as the "Just once" / "Always" option feature disappeared from my phone.
Instead, the pop up message saying "Default app selected" shows up again (which it was like this in Lollipop).
My ROM is up-to-date stock rom and haven't rooted nor installed any custom roms.
Does anybody have an idea what is going on with this issue?
In Settings go to Applications press 3dot menu /Default Applications/Default app selection then Choose Ask before...

Pebble app close on Huawei P10

Hello all,
I notice a strange thing.
I set up my pebble app to be not closed by the mobile when screen off and to not be in battery optimisations.
But, sometimes, the pebble app is still closed by the system.
Any idea or maybe script to avoid this?
Something similar happens with running apps like Strava and Runkeeper. I haven't read any solution yet. I think the power manager is a bit too diligent )-:

I have the same problem with some apps, I found a possible solution online (don't remember where exactly).
The steps are:
> Settings > Battery > Settings (upper right corner, cog icon) > disable "Close excessively power-intensive apps"
Hope this helps.

Thank you mate..
it makes no sense but this seems to be the best working solution at the moment...
These are my current settings for pebble and AdroidWear (got a german device so maybe there are some translation issues)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Settings > Battery > Cog Icon (upper right) > disable "Close excessively power-intensive apps" SOLUTION MAYBE
- Settings > Apps > (another) settings (button middle) > special access > ignore battery optimisations
- Settings > Battery > close when screen off whitelist
- Phone Manager > cleaning > Cog Icon (upper right) > eceptions whitelist
- No power saving activated
All of them are a bit similar but only one seems to take advance of the pebble problem
cheers

PSA/Guide - How to set custom tones in Gmail, hide "running in background.."

PSA/Guide - How to set custom tones in Gmail, hide "running in background.."
The solution is not my own, I found a post where someone tried to hide a running process notification. But it gave me an idea. And boy, was I correct.
So, what's the fuss about?
Apparently, Huawei's skin (EMUI) loves to not only change how Android works, but it also hides some functions. Such function is custom notification tones for accounts in Gmail. And the option to hide "running in the background" notification.
How do you get this function back?
- Use an activity launcher, or a custom Launcher like Nova.
- Open "Settings", and look for "App notifcations" (".Settings$NotificationAppListActivity").
This will grant you ALL the options you might be missing from pure AOSP/Android.
- tested and confirmed on EMUI 8.1 (GPU Boost update)
How to set Gmail tones?
1) Open Gmail from the new Activity
2) Tap your account you want to modify
3) ???
4) Profit
How to hide running...
1) Tap top-left "..."
2) Show system processes
3) find Android System
4) ???
5) Profit!
What? Sorry but your instructions are as clear as mud.
Hoo boy, I was going to write a guide explaining how to access notification importance and the Do Not Disturb override from EMUI. When I wrote the title, XDA found this thread as similar.
If you're on EMUI and you're looking desperately for how to set an app's notification importance (urgent, high, normal or low), and set it to override do not disturb settings, follow the steps in the OP! If you need a specific activity launcher, you can download Activity Launcher from Google Play (unfortunately I didn't find the app on APK Mirror).
Thnx for the tip!!
Download App Shortcut Maker, search for the activity needed and create a shortcut.
