i am ablet o do this on my op3 & huawei p9 (and previously was n my honor 7) without the need for a 3rd party app but can't seem to find an option to do it on the nokia 8? would have though it was a pretty basic feature?
Not a pure android feature and therefore isn't available as this is as close to pure android as you get outside of Google.

Coming from my Nexus 6 (and Android Nougat), I can download apps to my Nexus 6 and:
1) Keep them in my apps icon / list
2) Keep them off of my Desktop, but still accessible on my phone through the app icon / list.
How do I do the same with the Xiaomi Mi Mix?
I am on the Chinese version of the September build, and to my surprise the Google Play Store was included in the build (I thought it was not incorporated in those builds).
After I installed by sim, and started by phone, I had forced all my google play store apps to transfer to my new Mi Mix. What I do not understand, is that all the app installed on the desktop (very cluttered).
Is there not a way to have them look and feel like all north american versions of the android smart phones ? ? ?
Where the apps download and install to the smart phone, but do not necessarily remain on the desktop home screens?
Cheers

MIUI is like iOS.
No app drawer and all installed apps on the screen. I have placed the MIUI apps I don't want into a folder and moved them onto a page I never access. You could also install Nova Launcher or something like it which lets you use a more conventional launcher.appearance.
Once rooted you can freeze apps or disable them.

Amen to that brother, that was my original choice (to create a single folder and throw all the apps in there). Question, does it organize them for you in an alphabetical order?
I was afraid of that. I thought the method used by most of the Android like operating systems from the days of lollipop - - - nougat, did a bang on job of app organizing. My last iOS was the original iPhone 2g, and later the iPhone 4.
Personally, Xiaomi missed the boat with that (MIUI / iOS)

Hello
I have a Huawei P9 Plus. With Android 6 there was a setting available under Battery Manager called Protected apps for allowing apps to keep running after the screen is turned off. I have now updated my phone to Android 7.0 and I cannot find this setting anymore.
Does somebody know where I can set the protected app setting in Android 7?

Comming from Huawei EMUI ecosystem (Huawei P30 pro), I'm used to have extra layer of security on few of my apps, so app is locked with fingerprint/PIN before it's open for the first time. Now I'm missing this feature on my Samsung phone.
I believe S secure is official app from Samsung for this functionality, but it's not supported on S21 phones.
Secure folder is not the same, as it creates new instance of the app, but you can't like create a shortcut to the secured app directly to the home screen, it's always secure folder, and then picking up the app you want.
So I'm looking for suggestions what to go with, if there's any way for similar functionality.
I'm using applock. You can also use face unlock.

Hello all.
If I look on the internet for "Android auto alternative" then I get apps for on phone itselves, that use phone screen.
For unrooted android smartphone.
I want to know if their is a (prefer open source like f-droid apps) real alternative for android auto, that shows apps on the car entertainment system (in my case a Subaru from 2020).
I don't want android auto because:
- I need to install google apps, but I removed as much google and huawei apps as possible on my huawei mate 20x 5G.
- google decide what apps are accesssable/supported by android auto.
-with every android auto app update it is fingers crossed if the used apps are still available (for example Signal app suddenly gone from car screen).
So what none google app can I use to get my phone screen on my car multimedia system that supports android auto.
You can try MirrorLink if supported. But there is no other alternative as far as I know.
Unfortunately.
