Hi all,
I recently bought a P7 as my new smartphone. However, there is one thing missing. In the EMUI settings device encryption is not accesible, however this is a standard Android feature. I need this feature enabled because of enterprise policies otherwise I can't connect to our Exchange. Contact & agenda synchronization is necessary for me as my smartphone is a working device.
I tried updating to EMUI 3, but it's still not part of the ROM. It's a bit ridiculous Huawei isn't enabling this option within EMUI or doesn't even put encryption enabled by default.
Is their a workaround to enable this feature?
Thanks in advance.

I didn't find in setting but using the app "activity launcher" you can reach the hidden menu.
Open activity launcher>all activity>setting> encrypt phone
I don't know if encryption will work
Thank you for this interesting post usb2. I am able to open the Encrypt Phone activity and I can do all the prerequisites. When I start the encryption the phone gets "stuck" on a white screen with the green Android dude.
It's actually the same as the encryption screen on stock android, except without text and loading bar. Only the guy on a white background.
First I thought he was just busy encrypting but after 3 hours it was still like this. I just rebooted my phone and he is still working. Still not encrypted tho.
This is sad, I will need another ROM for this phone.
Hello, dear community,
I just recently got me a P10 (Stock ROM / rooted (Magisk) / HyperPlus kernel ) and was wondering why there is not auto-brightness setting available. I can neither find a toggle in the quick settings nor anything in the 'normal' display settings. I obviously searched Google/XDA but there doesn't seem to be anybody else missing it, only found some reports about screen dimming problems with EMUI 8 when openingsome apps, which seems to be a totally different issue.
Has this 'feature' been disabled with a recent update or did the Huawei P10 never have it at all? Could it have something to do with my phone begin rooted (Magisk), using a different kernel (HyperPlus) or choosing another design?
Thanks in advance for any help
Auto brightness is included in stock and in open kirin lineageos.
Well, that's what I've thought. But do you have any idea why this setting might not be available to me? If necessary I could provide screenshots... Is it enabled by default and just can't be turned off?
I definitely have to adjust it manually for different lighting conditions...
I posted a thread a while back here about the same problem I had with a stock P10.
After its 1st update, lost auto brightness setting. In the end, had to send it back to Huawei UK for them to sort out.
Could only suggest reinstalling your software from Firmware finder and hope that cures it. If not, you may have to get in touch with Huawei.
Hey folks, time for me to appeal to a higher power and ask any of you clever people if you have experienced a problem with the app twin feature.
It has worked in the past. But I never used it. Got the urge to a couple days back and now it just shows as disabled.
I am using Emui 8.0 on the P10. I saw a post describing how to turn it on, in older versions of Emui, on a different unit - but after editing the local.prop file as the post instructed the value still shows disabled.
Any thoughts?
The original post I edited according to is found here:
https://www.xda-developers.com/enable-app-twin-huawei-honor-emui-5-0/
Update: well I feel like a derp. Turns out it reads disabled because I don't have an app officially compatible with the feature. Installation of WhatsApp as a trial app changed this. My bad I guess, seems like it could have been avoided with a notification on the app twin menu that read disabled add compatible apps to enable feature etc. Etc. Thanks for anyone who took a second to read my post. Till next time !
Don't feel too much like a derp - :laugh:
I was just looking at this on my Mate 20 Pro and your post saved me a lot of aggravation.
Hi everyone
Hope you are all well!
Last night brought the dreaded EMUI 9 update to my HUAWEI P20 PRO. Before the update, I’m sure some of you also have the same, but I had downloaded the app; HUAWEI Theme , with the blue icon. I specifically downloaded this app for the use of the iOS 12 emoji
Whilst the update is great in many aspects, my emojis have stopped working in certain places around my phone. For example, snapchat text, facebook and facebook messenger have all stopped working with the emoji. But Twitter, and actual text messages have not. Whilst the emojis are not working in snapchat, notifications still come up with the iOS emojis.
I’m sure some of you are also having the same problem, so wondering if anybody can help?
Thanks in advance.
Those are not the only things "broken". Actually the screen lock timer has disappeared - turn screen off and the screen locks after a set time. I had it in 5 minutes. Now it locks instantly or no lock at all. Also the pie animations that kinda reassemble the iOS do not work on Nova launcher unless if you're using the huawei launcher. Meh... I'm thinking of unlocking the BL and install vanilla android on it
I wish i was somewhat knowledgeable with phones so i knew what you meant by changing it. But i am actually so peeved that it works sometimes and not others, that i am actually thinking of moving back to apple!
God forgive me now!
Hello everyone,
I'd like to know if somebody has a solution to this issue because it's annoying, not only for me, but for every EMUI 9 users.
Thank you very much?
My emoji is 100% fine,
but am root user and using Apple Sans Fransisco Fonts w/Emoji installed as Magisk Module.
as per other issues, i can't really relate,
i always turn off animations on any phone i use. And i always set my phone to lock instantly combined with smart lock on body detection enable as well.
Hi guys,
I have a debranded P10 c432 on emui 8. Firmware Finder report a VTR-LGRP2-OVS 9.0.1 Full OTA it's a strange name, very different from the one based on emui 8 that are somehting like "VTR-L09C432".
So:
Can I install that fw and go to emui 9?
Is it worth updating? the system is slow? battery life? how about the video stabilization?
Can I root?
Can I downgrade, eventually?
thank you in advance
This method work for my

1. The best you can do untill ota arrives is to try via hicare. That way i managed to install emui9 on my vtr-l29c432. The firmwares on ff might cause a brick if it's not the right one for your device so i don't think it's worth the risk.
2.In terms of performace i find the overall system a bit faster and smoother in transitions so for me it's a worth upgrade. No slowdowns or whatever, it's quick and stable with no issues so far (approx. 2weeks of use). Battery seems to be the same, depends on your usage, it may dry fast if you always on screen or it can last a full day if you don't stress it out. About the video i'm not so sure about it but on 1080p 60fps seems to be fine but again i'm not sure about it. I dont record that much on the phone, i ocasionally take some pictures and the camera seems to be fine. Maybe with future updates will be better. It's all about your preferences.
3. I don't use root but maybe it's possible with magisk.
4.Yes, with hisuite.
first thank you so much @Firicel69

When you have bootloader unlocked an TWRP installed make it easy
Look for upgrading to pie Tutorial at this Forum by @Jannomag!
Last Version to use on FF is 9.0.1.165...
I have a P10, rebranded from L09 to L29 with bootloader unlock...
@Jannomag s tutorial is working fine, no Problems with updating so far...

To upgrade to EMUI 9, you need a full firmware - those are listed as VTR-L29C432E1R1P9B165 (9.0.1.165), as an example. The LGRP2 firmwares, those are core system update images for non-Chinese devices (the Bnnn portion of the build number); they split the pieces apart into separately versioned bits with Pie.
I can't say anything for EMUI 9 features specifically, as I installed it for the updated vendor image, not EMUI.
You can root, with Magisk. They removed the ability to boot with a ramdisk in a normal boot, so Magisk takes over recovery instead; newer releases can boot both ways by button detection at boot time.
Downgrade - hisuite.
My battery life went down, but to early to say, because theese Huaweis is smart and needs time to learn habits and battery use... In two weeks I know more.
I don't think it's worth it. Smoother animations and better zoom photo quality are the only upsides. Other than that:
- camera app is much less intuitive, swiping between modes is slow and irritating, that's one of the things that should not be copied from iOS
- no video stabilization whatsoever
- image color processing is a hit and miss (it hates nature), when it gets slightly darker images are too dark
- I lost 1 hour of screen on time
- gallery app is stupid, it lost all the customization. You can't change folders to a list, you can't even rearrange the order!
- screenshot "mechanic" is stupid, it adds one unnecessary step to the process if you want to edit it or something
- themes app is unuseable, it got worse going from Nougat to Oreo, now it's just a messy store. Keep the theme you're on right now and forget about it.
- NFC issues (file transfer works, mobile payments don't).
In short - If your P10 works fine don't bother with the update.

Can underline this.
Also the Memo-App is bad now, no more tick-boxes for quick notes (which is really annoying) and other small issues.
On of the most annyoing is the changing of notification colors on the lockscreen. This is so infuriating for me.....
I dig the Pie, better blutooth, and cams and gallery is nice here, also like the look on swipe menu, and maneuver...
The battery is better today.. I've blockcharged while I was in the shower and 50% now...
It's an old phone.. so I usually block charge abit on the night, in weekend I tend to stay up abit later also...
The phone is faster loading and multitasking.
Gallery is nice? What's nice about it? Blinding white background while viewing your pictures? Or the fact that you cannot do such basic thing as rearranging the order of your folders?
Pie on p10 is very battery efficient. It's so efficient at killing background processes that even calendar notifications won't work properly anymore. Last time I had alarm 22 hours and some minutes late. All other notifications appear at very random times, but always very late. Notifications work fine only for a few days until the app probably gets kicked out of ram. Completeley useless.
And then there is camera with much worse low light quality, bluetooth problems, useless themes app and bunch of other completely useless features and I'm slowly having enough of huawei and their updates. I've had my p10 since march 2017 and I don't think it ever worked without at least one major bug.
Ok I get the point, pie is for someone good and for - too many - a mess. But, maybe because it's a beta? On FF I cannot understand if it9s a beta release or not. Because some other versions of oreo are been released on April with Pie.
And BTW I have spend some time to read some threads here (dated March) and the @Jannomag scripts and it's obvious that it's too early to install it. There is no TWRP, and install magisk is completed and unreliable.
So maybe I will update oreo and wait that pie is mature enough at least that I could install twrp and magisk. Because, honestly, I don't care that gallery app or themes are worst, I could always replace them,the importance is that the system is usable.
It's not a beta. I got it through HiCare app, it's an official OTA update. Besides - most of the things I'm complaining about are present in P30 as well. That's how EMUI 9 is supposed to work.
@Imnotdriving, how is Bluetooth better? Asking because it might be a factor in my decision to upgrade ?
As it turns out, my phone got the pie update last night so I got my own answer. One previously stubborn to connect speaker now connects quickly with aptx Bluetooth hence confirming that Bluetooth is improved.
Otherwise I like the new gesture navigation option in this update. Beyond that, not much is different for the way I use the phone.
There are a lot of new services running and I disabled about a dozen of the low hanging fruit. There's more that I'm sure I'll disable over time once I find out what they do.

The information in the update link spesofic stated that blutooth functions would be better, I don't remember exactly what it said.
Guys what package should I use for upgrade?
VTR-LGRP2-OVS 9.0.1.203
Or
VTR-L29C432E1R1P9B185
Both full ota
The OVS one is just one package update_full_base. Zip but it seems newer then the b185

For the initial update, the LGRP1/LGRP2 packages shouldn't be used - while it's marked FullOTA, it's not a complete build, as it's missing various partitions that need to be flashed in an upgrade from Oreo. (Basically, you'll brick if you flash one of those.)
If you're already on Pie, either works equally well.

So I should use the VTR-L29C432E1R1P9B185 package with the script here? After that I can update pie with LGRP2? But is LGRP2-OVS a sort of beta?
Do you advise me to use the jannomag script or the hi suite trick with dns?
I hope everything goes fine, I want to do a full wipe and install magisk

I've done all of my updates to P using a nocheck recovery. I can't say anything about the tricks with HiSuite or the script you've mentioned, though they should work just fine.
As far as the build numbers go: LGRP1-CHN and LGRP2-OVS are the China and everywhere else builds, respectively. It's possible that some of them might be beta, though I suspect the release notes would give up some indication of that.
