Pull down search

Can this be disabled? I can't find a setting for it. I keep activating it by mistake

It's funny how people are different. That's exactly the reason I don't want to use NOVA launcher because it doesn't have the same feature. (or at least I'm not aware of it).
Anyway, hope you resolve this!

Try swiping down on the right or left of centre, seems to work for me. Either side of the cut out. Agree, it's pretty much useless.

Nova with Sesame Shortcut app can enable this

Just adb remove it:

Unfortunately that package does not exist on my P20 Pro 8.1. I would love to know what package name it is to be able tp remove it - tried guessing a couple of times - without success.

Gwozdem, could you explain how?

you just need to configure pull down gesture. or simply use the top drawer search function.
as for other who want to disable.it. just use other launcher. stock launcher suck anyway, LoL

name of the app itself is HiSearch
and the package name is indeed com.huawei.search even on PIE it still the same
you probably misstype it, or you are not "user 0", try user 1 as well
else, just try to use Packages Name Viever app to check it yourself.
or, if i were you, i would just root the phone and disable those app uaing any capable tools. (am using titanium backup)

[GUIDE] How to Fix/Improve GPS Lock on OnePlus 5 with Oreo ROM

I ran into this exact problem recently on LOS 15.1.
Props to Asiier for this post which helped me develop a hybrid fix.
I narrowed my issue down to a mix between a bad/dated gps.conf file and Oreo Google Play Services.
If you have the same issue, now or in the future, here are a few things you can do, but you must be rooted.
Option A) There is a Magisk Module - Global Optimized GPS File Replacer - that will replace your gps.conf file with a more updated one. Make sure though that it places the file in both /system/etc and /system/vendor/etc. If it doesn't, copy it to the other directory. The latter is where it's stored in Oreo on OnePlus 5, but some apps may look for it in the former directory.
I didn't fully trust this process though the instructions in the module are very good. The code is here so you can create the file in Notepad or Wordpad yourself and save it with .conf extension.
Option B ) If you want to do so manually, make sure you place the file in both system locations, and set the permissions 644 or rw-rw-r---, otherwise it won't work. Obviously, make sure the old file is deleted and the new one is re-named to gps.conf. Then reboot. I tweaked the file and added several US-based NTP servers to the list, but otherwise left it as written.
After either option - download either or both of these Apps:
GPS Status and Toolbox
GPS Locker
Switch to Device Only in location settings and re-calibrate your compass. You can use the GPS Status app or another app of your choosing.
Open either app and download new AGPS data.
Toggle between High Accuracy and Device Only and that will help to get a good lock.
After that, GPS lock should be much quicker, or can be reset with a new AGPS download.
I found that Device-Only is a better setting for LOS/OP5.
Of course, make sure you're outdoors, otherwise this won't work well, or not at all.
NOTE: Flashing a new build or new ROM will overwrite the gps.conf file back to the bad version, so this process must be followed again each time.

Thank you very much for this guide!
Would this configuration work properly if google play services are not installed?

I don't know. I haven't tried that. All the apps I use GPS with require Google Play Services/Maps.
That said, I think Google Play Services is part of the problem overall. Once I get a lock, I make sure I'm on Device Only setting.

I, too, started having issues when I moved from OOS to LOS on a clean flash, then dirty flashed a nightly. BUT.... after a factory reset, flash OOS, flash LOS - all clean, the issue remained. I really think that this started and traces to a Google Play Services update in early June that somehow creates a bug when dirty flashing.
I wish Google would get their act together because I think this is all Oreo-related, but presents itself most starkly on devices that have weak antennae (like OnePlus).
When deploying this fix, I've noticed that the AGPS data doesn't survive a reboot and needs to be refreshed. I still need 3rd party apps like GPS status, but once refreshed and locked, it stays solid all day (provided I'm outside). GPS works, but I still have to fuss with it, almost daily.
As I noted in my OP, - I'm not sure the Magisk module or the TWRP processes do this, but it's critical to set the replaced gps.conf file with -644 / -rw -r -r permissions, or it won't work.

I checked and no. All config files have 644 as a system file. You can change it but it doesn't matter (this file needs only to be read btw)
Other notice : before reading all your OP, I checked and I didn't find a gps.conf in my /system/etc (it was its place, but with new Android version et vendor space, I guess they moved it)
Are you sure is it necessary with Oreo ?
Envoyé de mon ONEPLUS A5000 en utilisant Tapatalk

Sorry, I had it correct in my OP and just edited my error in Post #10 - it's -644 -rw -r -r.
In LOS, the file is placed in /system/vendor/etc. I don't know if that is Oreo-only or not, but a previously used directory was /system/etc.
To be safe, I replaced it in both directories.

Oreo ROMs read the gps.conf file from the vendor partition (/system/vendor/etc or /vendor/etc, depending on Treble implementation). There is no need to replace/place it in the /system/etc partition.

I'm seeing NO improvement establishing GPS lock on the 23 Jul LOS build with new gps.conf file. In fact, acquiring lock takes longer.
I still require the assistance of a 3rd party app. I can't get GPS lock WITHOUT activating a 3rd party app first. I can re-establish lock quickly for a few hours but as time goes on, it takes longer.
I can't establish lock in an already moving vehicle. I have to establish lock, stationary, in the open air.
The one difference between the 23 JUL file and the one I was using, is that it uses general ntp servers, rather than the ones for my region. Using regional servers wasn't perfect, but definitely better.
I have no proof but I still think the root of this problem is in Google Play Services.
Buffing up the gps.conf file "helps", but doesn't fix the problem on my OP5.
GPS is one of those functions that should just work on a modern smartphone. I have a Sony Xperia Z3. It is unrooted and stuck on MM. No problem with GPS.

No improvement between this mod and the commit, but it's a good point for everyone.
My point of view : if it works on OOS and not on other ROM... : Blobs and proprietary codes (drivers?)
I hope treble will fix this mess, just be patient.
During this time, like you said, I keep GPS Status to play Pokemon go and Google services do the job to have a position.
It sux, that's all :/

I'm not convinced that it does work on OOS any better than custom ROMs. A review of the OnePlus(.com) forums reveals many complaints about GPS which each successive update. I grant that for unknown reasons, this problem does not affect all OP5s, no matter which ROM is loaded.

And what is confusing you? Just choose one of the version of making AA working and that's all [emoji846]
I was checking few different ways to achieve this goal and can recommend you that if you want to have AA with CarStream and AA Mirror than you have to root your s9 and use AA Phonetype Patcher to switch these apps to be available by car system.
Good luck.

Which version of android auto to install 2.9 or the most updated one from store ?
Is there a specifik version of aa_mirror.apk and aa_unlock.apk to install ?
What to install AA Phenotype Patcher*or AAutoAppEnabler_v1.1.apk ?
If you can explain me step by step

You don't need to think about versions of Android Auto and Google Play Services as the procedure based on root and Phonetype Patch is working on all versions! You don't need to use AA Unlock (Phonetype Patcher is doing the same but permamently) and block autoupdate etc. (up to the latest versions it's working with no problem at all).
So if you have phone already rooted do this steps:
1. Install Android Auto and give it all needed permissions after it is connected to car system (or headunit server).
2. Install any AA Mirror app you want. There are few versions but all of them doing the same with small cosmetic changes
3. Install latest AA Phonetype patcher (current ver. is 0.85) from here: https://github.com/Eselter/AA-Phenotype-Patcher/tree/master/app/release
4. Enable AA Mirror and any other AA dedicated apps using Phonetype Patcher and do reboot
5. That's all. If you get blackscreen instead of mirrored screen (using AA Mirror) it means you have to do patch based on modified version of AA Mirror plus ScreenStream. Detail info here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78548457&postcount=383

That's how the AA Mirror works. If you want to watch some movies or video you can use CarStream. It is using your phone even if it is locked and screen is off but it is only for YouTube and local stored clips (on internal memory or sd card).

In AA Mirror yes. This an idea how the mirror works. You have same screen displayed on the car screen. The only thing you can do is to dim smartphone screen as much as you can.

Yes if you root your phone. Otherwise I think it's not possible.

It's possible and no issues what's so ever with overal system stability!
Over adb shell as You have mentioned in Your post.
Only issue is that You lose some Facebook functionality which depends on facebook services app.

I have disabled all Facebook apps that you can't uninstall. Facebook Services, Facebook App Installer and Facebook App Manager. Just head on to Settings, Installed apps and point to the three points-menu top right and select Show all. Find all Facebook apps and disable them at the bottom left.
Good riddance!!
No problems what so ever and I’m still using Messenger.
No root needed.
