Guys, I use stock ROM (2.5.335 ST atm).
In general it's quite ok.
The only thing I do not like is that notifications are cleared from the statusbar immediately after I saw them. Is there any way to change behaviour to vanilla Android behaviour? Like they seat there until I touch it or swipe it.
May be there is a second thing... These notification icons are shown as app icons, but colorful, not black and white like in vanilla Android. This thing could be also great to change.
Any ideas? I am ready for experimenting, including system changes
Can you try the app called Horntell (in the play store). I am currently still running CM13 because of the stupid notifications in ZUI. But Horntell would sound promising if it was fully supported.

Thanks, mate! Horntell does a lot of things, but not the only thing I want it to. I would like just not to cancel notifications in the statusbar after I saw them once.
I have exactly the same problems! In fact everyone has. Help anyone?
Hi,
This thread is to report custom themes issues - as I noticed currently available themes (working fine on EMUI 8.0 phones) are partially incompatible with EMUI 8.1 on our P20 phones.
Known issues (EMUI 8.1 vs EMUI 8.0):
- sms app is no longer supported (there is no longer Huawei sms app - Google Messages instead, completly inconsistent with EMUI design...)
- some (not all) custom screen locks are not working
- custom settings menu icons are not visible (only default ones)
- general issue with non-system app icons - most of them are not changing with theme (even if there is custom icon inside theme)
- custom status bar and notifications are not working
I received my P20 today, so i'll update above list during my tests. If you notice any not listed issue - let me know, i will add it.
I'll try to find a solutions for that issues - but of course any help is appreciated
Life saver!
I've been playing around with the themes and noticed my notifications had disappeared from the lock screen. I had assumed it was another setting I'd changed by mistake, but couldn't find what I'd done.
Found this thread last night, stuck the theme back to Romance, and the notifications are back!

But you can use custom theme with standard lock screen - and notifcations should appear
Any custom lockscreens that work with notifications? I tried a few but none display spotify lockscreen controls. I ask because I'd prefer a lockscreen with the clock at the top instead of the bottom like the magazine theme.

Try lockscreen from my SimpleP theme - there is a clock in the top and spotify controls work
I have the same problem. I tried some custom themes and now, no matter what theme I choose, notifications won't expand, I can only read notification first line. And yes, with some custom themes, notifications won't show at all.
@mr.mrcn I can't find SimpleP theme

It is in my app (link is in the signature). But notifications in this lock screen don't expand either.
They are not expanding for me as well, seems like a stupid bug (much like no synchronized volumes with Bluetooth audio devices)
EMUI 8.1 ignores all xml images in custom themes, they are displayed by default.

Not quite true, in my theme are all icons changed, and some other stuff too. I don't have much time to look around, but some paths of icons are different from previous versions. Will try with png's and new folder paths. ???

Because all icons are round and there is no special mask in this icon pack Look at my screenshot - there is a mask, but for unknown reason is not applied to some icons (like gmail, slack, whatsapp..), but for other it is (facebook, telegram..).

Some files in the theme are now overlooked by the system (EMUI 8.1).

Do you think this will be fixed soon?
Probably Huawei actually wants it like this, I think they would've fixed it already

I think not..they would not include a theme engine if they do not want customers to change the look of it..but that is my opinion

You can still change UI colors and drawer icons... Maybe they just want you to do it/they want developers to optimize their themes for the p20/p20 pro before allowing them to change navbar icons/notification tab icons and stuff, at least imo
No Status Bar for me at all, tried Factory reset, the same.
Hi, was anyone able to find a dark/black theme for working fully with Emui9 after Pie upgrade?
My findings:
Dark EMUI 9 Theme (Best for Non-pro Huawei Phones: so far the best one I found: the dialer is in white, but rest of relevant apps and settings in black/grey without any bugs.
Generaly there is load of themes partially, not fully working. (in my opinion those are themes originally developed for Emui8 whose creators claimed compatibility with Emui9 without proper testing)
Mostly, the problem occures in certain menu's when user's interaction needed. In numerous menus, the text and background are same color, making text unreadable. You can overlook it during fastcheck,but its very anoying in tons of everyday situations.
How to test it: Choose settings> Home screen and Wallpapers> Wallpaper and choose anyone. Confirm it. Dialogue with choice whether you want to set it on Lockscreen, Homescreen or Both. If this dialoque is normaly visible, theme should be OK. In most cases of problematic dark themes, the dialogue shows in combination white text/white background.
List of tested and not properly working themes (update 19/01/19)
Deep Black Emui theme: Tested v 1.5, not working properly
Dark EMUI 9 Theme for Huawei/Honor: bought, not working properly, returned with refund.
Dark EMUI Theme for EMUI 5/8: not working properly
Moutain Dark Theme: not working properly
Problematic themes from Theme Manager from Huawei
- Samsung One Dark UI: bit confusingly reccomended as working in this topic here on XDA
- Windows 10 Home
- Nightlike
No fully black themes yet sadly, an the theme there has a nasty notification shade slider icon, looks straight out of 2011 ice cream sandwhich 4.0.
Im not upgrading to EMUI 9 until a decent theme comes up.
Maybe you can try this..
"Dark EMUI 9 Theme for Huawei/Honor"
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20/themes/deep-black-emui-9-theme-t3877187
:good: try this one
iaureeel: I have bought it and it is not working
2WildFirE: you are refering to the same theme as I did in first post. It has problems with dialogues, that are shown with same color of text and background. (e.g. if you connect phone to the PC, you cannot choose charging/copy mode, and many other similar situation).
So far, this is the theme I sound so far best - it has dialer in white, but rest is in black and working.

Yes, I've just seen this. I was too enthusiast
Did some more testing on promising themes, so far no luck.
Added to the first post.
I know it's not a theme per se, but I had the same "problem" when updating to EMUI9 (notification panel and navigation when keyboard is displayed were white). I found there is an option in "Settings > Battery" called "Darken user interface" or something like that, that turns everything dark, even the dialer.
There is no such option... Screenshot?
It's under Battery > the last setting before "more battery settings".

That's very interesting... I don't have this option and my version is 9.0.0.162 What is yours?
Ps) You don't have Honor View10 do you?
I don't have that option, and I'm on B178. What region is your phone for? Is it L09 C432?

My Honor View 10 is the BKL-L09 C432 version and I don't have that option in my phone. I'm on 9.0.0.178 patch 01 at the moment.
This version is working on my honor lite 9, but its not black, notification is still white !
I know I can't be the only one who can't read some notifications in direct sunlight now that the Pie / One UI update has "gifted" us with colored notification icons on the Always On Display (AOD). This article here shows the comparison I'm talking about, under the date on this AOD screen:
https://www.sammobile.com/2018/10/18/always-on-display-android-pie-update-samsung
The first picture has the MUCH easier to read white icons and the second has the awful colored ones. I use The Weather Channel app to see current temperature on the notification bar, and it switches between blue and red depending on the temp. It is a small number by design and when it is in color, it is HARD to read when there is any sort of ambient light around, IMPOSSIBLE to read when sunlight hits the screen!
I cannot find a single theme or setting on the phone to change those from colored icons to white. There are themes that show white icons but when loaded, Samsung's One UI takes over and colors them. I see the setting to change the color for the clock, and that too is not what I'm looking for. The color and date are both in white on the AMOLED black screen, I don't need colored notification icons, this should NOT be this difficult to figure out how to do! I'm using current version on my AT&T Note 9, no root. Thanks in advance if you can shed any light!
Same problem here...couldn't find a solution yet! Let me know if you get one, thanks!
I second this. I want simple B&W AOD like it was at the beginning. The coloured icons on AOD is a very bad idea.
Is there anyway to downgrade AOD app or apply a patch?
Please take a look at the attached pic - this looks awful, very cheap.
Thanks.
Also trying to find a solution to this...on the S10 it's even worse because there is no notification LED. And now the AOD icons are barely visible !
Since yesterday, i'm on CSDJ maisecurity Patch. But i dont have colored Icons on my AoD ? Also have no settings to activate or deactivate colored Icons. May Icons are grey/white like back in Oreo. So i ask myself, is this function maybe limited to specific devices ? Or are you guys on a higher Buildstring then CSDJ ?
*Edit* My (ex) Note 8 has this colored Icons too. But not for my Note 9.

I'm on CSE1 May 1st security patch, which (correct me if I'm wrong) is after CSDJ based on alphabetical order, and still have colored icons. Not sure the patch or software version made the difference, something else must have!

I'm on Galaxy S10 and the April update. I haven't update anything now since I'm traveling, will update on Friday when I get home. However a few days ago I update some apps and now my AOD icons are dark gray for some reason... Can't really see what it is and I have 20/20 sigh. Let's hope for a resolution to this.

Yes your String is higher than in my DBT. Maybe this is the reason why i have no colored Icons. Anyway this Build is absolute bad. Laggy performance on the whole Device. Rolling back on CSDE >.<
I disabled AOD becaus of this. It's stupidy that we can't customize it
Same here. So annoying! Basically Samsung support answered my question saying that for now you cannot change the color. Wouldn't hold my breath though.
I have several status bar icons (not notifcation icons) that I want always visible, but after a couple, they just turn into one dot and I cant see them unless I swipe down the notification bar. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this? I'm rooted on LineageOS with Magisk 22.1, but had the same problem on stock. Thanks

I've never seen that. Can you give a screenshot of just before it changes and after?
The dot appears when you have enough notification icons, that can't be all shown at the same time, kinda like a "there's more" indicator.
Sadly the space for notifications is limited to just a few. No way to fix that afaik.

This will install an app called "Rom Control". Swipe from left to open menu, go to "Miscellaneous" and there is an option called "Show more notification icons". I haven't tried it but this may be what you're looking for.
You guys, he said statusbar icons, not notification icons. To me that means the system icons on the right side.

Yes exactly, I tried that recommendation and it not only didn't work, but after a while it stopped showing my lte signal and moved battery percent to left of battery instead of where I had it on the right, like it randomly switched to demo mode.
I'm fine with the notification icons merging, but not my system icons.

Rom control is for stock, I believe.
I've never seen that many system icons. I might be able to help but I don't know I could even manage to get too many. How many icons before it goes to a dot? 6, 7?
Can you give me a screenshot?

Do you really need all of those system icons? If not, there's an app that you can use to remove some of them with.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zacharee1.systemuituner
I use it to hide the headphones icon (I can see the wire coming out of my phone I'm looking at it right now and I can hear the music coming from it) and also the alarm clock icon that is there even on weekends when I don't have alarms set. I know I have 3 alarms set for weekdays. I've had them for years. I don't need you to remind me.

There's probably no way to do it.
Let the notifications fill until you get a dot there.
That blank space is where sensors are.
