New design Android Messages not working on P20 pro - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi guys,
So I have the latest version of Android Messages but i still have the old design. I've been trying to uninstall and reinstall it but still not working. I've also tried to reboot my phone and everything but it still stuck on old design.
If anyone can help me I really appreciate it.
Thanks.

It's probably a server side push. I tried the version that first had dark mode but then Google pulled it

Can you tell which version you got?

I had the update, dark mode completely flips and app doesn't open. Switched off the dark mode and all fine. (On pixel experience treble ROM)

You're clearly using emui. Probably caused by the treble ROM, although I've read reviews on Google play saying the same (most likely unrooted phones)

I am on same version of Android Messages and CLT-L29 8.1.0.152 (C636) with no issues. except not able to set custom notification sms sounds for each person like I could before.

Pretty sure after I installed the updated version I force stopped the app then reopened and its been running fine

Why wouldn't I be using emui? There is no mention of what ROM is in use in this thread??
Also I am rooted.
Magisk 16.4
PS: There is a tweak that can be done but this was reverted back afterwards, can't remember it exactly but just Google it.
After the most recent update the dark settings were listed and I've had no issues

you need to enable dark mode, force close the app, clear cache.
then it should work.

Play Store V3.7.13

Any one in here having issues with this version? This one is making me nuts!
It downloads but does not install apps, it stays stuck at downloading, I have done all possible way to fix but no success. i have cleared chache, uninstall update blah, even went to the extreme of wiping my whole phone starting from scratch thinking it was my damn phone still it does not work.
Anyone having same issues? or know a work around?
When I install old version it updates automatically to the new one....
Yeah i'm having the exact same problem.
Using the official XXKPU firmware btw.
try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1744264
anyway, i have the same problem
I started having the same problem today.
Go to Applications and choose Google Play Store. Clear the App data and uninstall updates (since it's a system app)
Then start the app, let it update and it's working again! (at least that's what did it for me)
I have ics and i have no problems, maybe we must to install ics

yep tried it, works for a while but it still updates automatically
I am thinking already this update should not have been made available for GB.......I might think it's only for ICS devices
Same here.
Solution:
I uninstalled updates (went back to version 3.5.19) and freezed market updater with titanium backup. And it works. :good:

i am also using ics and experincing same problem it could be something to do with google servers becz sometimes i am able to install the apps other times i have to it just keeps on waiting for download
Google or say Goofle messed up big time....they replied back to me saying my phone was rooted!! I mean wtf!!!? they think every android users are noobies and have to buy their arguments.
Freezing market updater with TB works up to now.
Hmmm...looks like freezing and even uninstalling market updater still doesn't stop it from updating.
When't back to market 2.2.7.
Get it from here
Install as normal apk, convert it to system app

I have installed this one: Vending-3.5.19.noupdate.norestrictions-aligned.apk

Xiaomi mi5 cm13 minor problems

Hi all.
I installed cm13 on my mi5 pro yesterday. Looking good so far. I only have minor issues. The first and most important is I can't swap the back and recent button. I've already got used to miui method ( back on the right, recent button on the left).
How can I change them on cm13? Unfortunately closed+gravity can't help me, because after installing them my banking app (Barclay's) thinks that my phone is rooted and closes with an FC. I've also tried the buttons on the screen option, but in this way I lose screen size, though I can change the buttons I believe.
The other small issue is that I don't really like the menu in this alphabetical order system. Can I use something else instead? Like what is in Nova launcher, just a normalenu, nothing else.
Thanks for the help in advance.
Cheers!
the first issue is related to kernel... when cm will be based on the kernel released from xiaomi, the problem will be solved. don't worry, developers are working on it
I found the a method and it is working:

For the drawer style you can change that in the launcher's settings. Long press a free spot on your home screen, then press settings and change style to "compact".
This swaps the two capacitive buttons around to xiaomi setup instead of Google
you can also find it on this url: https://store.shade.sh/mi5/ from the unofficial cm13 weekly build thread if you do not wish to download it from myself
Thank you guys its working like a miracle.
Now I have another problem, but this time it looks massive.
So my problem is that cm13 is pre rooted when you install it. Well, I have no problem with it, but unfortunately my banking app ( Barclay's) has. I can't use it, because it says rooted device not supported. I've already checked developer options, and root access is disabled, but this doesn't help, I still have issues with the app. I tried flash SuperSU+binaries from twrp, opened app after flash and use full unroot, same problem, banking app thinks my phone is still rooted. I'm thinking about trying out the slim (aosp based) ROM if I can't find any working method.
Can you guys help me with this?
Thank you one again

Tried out this method, but as soon as I tried to start banking app, it closed with an fc. Yes I remember now, that was the problem few days back.
Hm...I can't think anything else..

Try using shade.sh's userbuilds. They are built without built in root. They are under the category "userbuilds" on his website.
Success!
I had to install aosp to to realize what's the problem here. After I did that the same problem happened.: Banking app says my phone is rooted. So I tried doing the same methods on aosp what I did on cm13, except Xposed+gravity because I knew my apps gonna FC. So I tried safe unroot apk from play store, no luck. I also tried this app the night before.
Then i thought maybe I should enable root in developer options, because yesterday morning with this was a half success, Barclays mobile banking app( debit card) said, the device is rooted, I touched ok, then it started without any problems. It was only half success, because the other app Barclaycard (credit card) didn't work, same problem: the phone is rooted. So I tried out the following, and that was the complete success:
Enabled root access for apps only in dev options than i started safe unroot from play->everything's working like a charm.
Thank you guys for help!

Changelog is here {only Google security patch update to March}: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G985/g104/v77480/f1/full/changelog.xml

Enjoy
Found with Firmware Finder
I'm happy that at least we get the appropriate google security updates.
Anybody installed this? Is it ok?
Flashed from 390 to 393. Works fine!

Yes stable
I failed to flash from 390 using the dialer method.
Flashed over B392, no problems so far.
Used dialer method.
Sent from my HUAWEI GRA-L09 using XDA Labs
Last ROMs (B392 and B393) fail when updating using dialer method. But they do update, at 100% it shows an error "update failed", when restarted it does optimization of a system and boots and then in settings it shows the correct version (B393 currently).
Strange

nononono, i was just re-trying the stock system for some experiments. The CM13 is fine, and it works very well, but sometimes third-part apps (downloaded via apk or play store) crash.

I've tried CM13 ROM but the crashes were very annoying. Opera browser was crashing couple of times per hour, Swype keyboard was crashing when I was typing, a lot of games were crashing at launch, Google Translate was crashing when tried to use camera. I would love to have CM13 instead of Huawei firmware but for now it's unusable.
Topic: successful update from B321 to B393 using dialer method.
Guys,
How do I get stock recovery from this version of the ROM?
On B390 I installed TWRP, replaced the HOSTS file with one that blocks ads, removed some unnecessary system apps and replaced TWRP with stock recovery.
Do you think that using B391 recovery (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862705190) is a good idea?
I don't want to root the phone because I don't feel it's necessary.

New update is up for Nokia 5.1 plus

I have noticed a new update is available for our devices. There isn't much detail but it seems it isn't just a security update.
V2.20A

I have received the update as well, although I just updated to the pie update from Oreo yesterday, I noticed that night mode isn't working (is it the same for you) - thinking of performing a factory reset
Also is your device rooted? Cus I can see the magisk icon on your status bar.
Thank you.

Hello
There isn't any global dark mode, I heard it is coming in Android 10. Google keeps adding dark mode to their apps though.
It is rooted through the "temp root solution". System and boot partition are still locked and Magisk is stuck on a old version. I just use it for titanium backup etc.

It runs fine here however you can lose the entire root (super user) functionality unless you reboot sometimes. I think phone's hard core power manager kills Magisk sometimes. When it happens Magisk will say new version is available.
BTW I use this root method:

Some users report some stuff working but as there is no TWRP and Magisk manager shell, I am afraid to test things. Basically anything running early will fail, think like running a NT service vs running on user login. This thing runs very late for any advanced hack to work.

New XL can't install from the playstore

Hi all, just got a brand new pixel 4 XL and cannot update Chrome or System web view , any ideas how to fix this? Already did a factory reset but still get the same issue, all other apps updated just fine.
Mine was having issues with chrome yesterday as well, eventually it installed. However, still unable to do system webview, not sure why, but Im guessing Google hasn't made them compatible in the app package with the new devices yet.
I had the same problem, then I loaded the apps from apkmirror and updated them.
ditto. Force stopped chrome. reboot. play store update chrome, then system web view. sorted.
Thanks, will try apk mirror ?

Restart your phone after the updates that do install. That worked for me for two new set ups.

Are you bootloader unlocked? Neflix wont show up in the play store if your phone is modified in anway. You need to get it from APK Mirror and then it will update in the playstore.
Same thing happened to me last night and then it eventually installed at some point as well.

Yeah that's what I said a few posts ago. Worked for me.
Seems to be an issue with the webview update.I gave up after couple tries and switched to beta. It installed without issues.
Force stop and clear cache on webview then disable chrome. Install webview then reenable chrome.
