Today the answer what is this for settings. Afterwards they understand, the replied no some feature should be include now, maybe later. Its was huawei Sweden.

Many users are complaining this on the official Chinese Huawei forum as well. https://club.huawei.com/search.php?mod=forum&searchid=83908992&searchsubmit=yes Seems like Huawei is ditching this feature on P30 Pro

No they won't, it's a Noweiway move to get users to buy kirin 990 Mate 30 pro. Even the old Samsung S7 from three years ago had a better more functional AOD than a 2018 Huawei phone. Shame on them.

I agree. Poor for a flagship device.

From what I read by them on their forums when someone asked about this NOT being seen on Emui 10 P30 Pro. They said its only on the NEW Mate 30. And they are happy to hear our requests for new features blah blah blah in coming updates. So.. yeah.. not coming..unless they change it

It's possible that they decided not to roll out this feature for the P30 Pro even though their promotional images show the P30 Pro running their new AOD. Personally I just ended up building my own custom AOD with third-party apps. Probably more customisable than the official option too.

Glad I don't use AOD. Very weak AOD for a 2018 flagship, when other manufacturers had better useful AODs back in 2015.

Welcome to 2016 Huawei. Yet, seeing it would be believing it in 2020 as nearly all their official comments and statements in recent times has never materialized. Lame excuse that only kirin 990 can support it.

I'd love to hear more about your AOD set!

I used Always on Edge to build a custom AOD setup. I set it up with a basic clock/date widget that displays a pulsing light at the top (similar to a notification LED) and app icons below the clock. It's also got a notification summary below that will display the app and notification title, but not the actual notification message content. Here's how it looks:
Originally the app is supposed to flash the edge of the phone screen for notifications but there's the option to replace the edge lighting with a more subtle LED effect. You can also customise the widget layout, size, and content (such as adding music playback controls that only display when music is playing). You can also set which apps are whitelisted or blacklisted from showing up in the notifications list as well as timing of the AOD. Instead of making it constantly display, I set it to only show up when notifications come in or when the device is charging. The app is free with the full feature set but you have to watch an ad every time a setting is changed. You can remove this with an in-app purchase though.

On there web site forums someone asked about this for the P30 Pro. They said.. it was not for the P30 pro.

Could you export that layout? I've not been able to reproduce it and I like it.

Sorry, there's a bug with the app that prevents me from exporting or importing any config files.

Caffeine like app or mod?

Hi all,
I opened this topic as I did not find an easy way to prevent the screen to sleep when I read some news or anything else. (I mean avoiding to go through the lockscreen settings each time and change the sleep time)
It's very annoying to not have this feature nowadays in MIUI 9 ! I have tried all kinds of caffeine apps on the playstore, without success
There must be something not implemented within miui that prevents those apps to work.
Guys, did you experience the same on your side and is there a workaround or a working mod?
Thanks in advance
Well, Apparently I'm the only one who cares if it bothers me ! Every single rom since CM13 has this feature with a tile but the developers by MIUI have decided else.
Just wish this would be implemented natively but hum, wait and see if it comes with the next builds (hopefully)...

Yes, It can get annoying from time to time, having to touch the screen to keep it alive. I did try to find some apps but couldn't find any to get the job done.
Although, I do use this app called "Stream" (just google Stream app, it's the first app displayed) it's like a pop out player for Youtube, the size of the player is considerably small and yes it keeps my phone from going to sleep, so yeah listening to music and reading things. Gets the job done for me
Thanks xinie for your input
For info, I share with you a working app that keeps the screen on: No Screen Off on the playstore
It's very light (about 40 ko). Just toggle to enable and vice-versa. Then it returns in its previous settings.
Very simple and useful for those who are looking for a caffeine app missing on miui!

Ever since coming from previous custom ROMs I have missed the option/quick setting tile that enabled you to keep the screen on indefinitely.
MIUI 10 still doesn't offer this feature/function, but i was able to find an app that works well on the MIUI OS.
There's an app called Wakey on google play store that adds a quick setting tile to MIUI and doesn't bug out like other apps I've tried.

Just be sure to enable "Aggressive screen on mode"
Optional: If you don't like seeing "Wakey is displaying over other apps" message you can install AutoNotification or TidyPanel from google play store and make a rule that blocks that notification.
Be sure to also make the following change, App Settings > Installed Apps > AutoNotification or TidyPanel > Autostart ON & Battery Saver > No restrictions
um...why not just maximize display sleep setting to 30 minutes and be done with it? surely ure not staring at the same news article for 30 whole minutes

Too much steps/hassle. Would prefer just a toggle button when it's required when reading something and have it go back to 30 seconds when done when un-toggled.
Hi bseos, thanks for your input with wakey, good to know
Otherwise, here is the very small app No Screen Off (48 ko) I shared a while ago https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.k2.no.screen.off
No complication, just toggle and untoggle and nothing to set up
Two exact years later, no caffeine feature on miui 12 beta.
I arrived here looking for that, I'll try wakey app. Thanks.
Hello !! There is another app also, similar to Wakey. It is called Caffeine - Keep Screen On and works well, at least in MIUI 12. Keep in mind that having the screen on for long periods of time may damage your screen.

Multi window Pop-up question

Hi,
The main thing I love the Galaxy Notes is the multi-window feature. Especially the pop-up window option.
I've had a chance to try out the Note 8. Apparently the pop-up multi-window feature give you a small pop-up window with every item in the app still being very large like it was full screen (large font, large buttons, ... the same thing Windows computers do when you make an app smaller). My old Note 3 gives you a pop-up window which actually make every aspect of the app look smaller. I hope I'm making myself clear.
Is there a way to get that Note 3 scaling effect on the pop-up multi-window feature of the Note 8?
This is what a pop-up on the Note 3 looks like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is what it looks like on the Note 8:
Thanks!
I think what you're looking for is in Settings / advanced options / multiwindow.

No I don't think you've understood my question.
I know the Note 8 has the option for multiwindow, but I want to know if there's an app or xposed module or whatever available to scale down the pop-up windows like it was on the Note 3.

that's not what he means.
on old Samsung phones that function would shrink the window as-is, so the app would still draw as if it's fullscreen while it's actually shrunken down to a quarter of its normal size.
this would result in smaller buttons and text.
on newer Samsung phones the app is informed that the resolution has changed, allowing it to adjust.
this can cause apps to reload when resizing them, and buttons and text don't shrink.
unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to revert to the old behavior.

Thanks for that, then I guess the Note 8 isn't for me then
Any idea if there are other phones who do that?
What app have you found that doesn't re-size? Whatsapp, for example, shrinks nicely. Messages, all shrinks.. The screenshot you posted of the Note 8 is not what my phone looks like.

Could you maybe post a screenshot of how it looks on your Note 8?
Here... Not the best, but you can see Google drive has resized.
I've edited your screenshot. Look at the red box.
If you maximize that app to full screen, is the stuff in the red box bigger or the same size?
Ok, correct. That bit doesn't change. The rest does, the plus button and the other text, but not the top.

That's what I mean. And if you open up a window and scale it down to the smallest size possible, those buttons and text can really get in your way (depending on the app).
On the Note 3 those buttons actually scale down as well.
Fingers crossed for an update then! I like the feature but I can understand why it's annoying, but it's not bothering me too much.

I highly doubt this will get updated. It's been like that in all the latest Galaxy phones. It's Android's implementation of multi-window. It saves Samsung a lot of time and money not having to code that stuff themself.
So if the community doesn't come up with some kind of mod, this won't change.
That's a shame then. The apps I like to use in popup do work nicely, I love having the notes pop up floating so I can just quickly use it during the day.
Is there an app or mod to allow all the apps to the multi-window view? Because out of the box not all the apps are supported ...

Don't need an app like you did with LL & MM, there's a setting in Developer Options now but like in the past, doesn't mean all unsupported apps will work/resize fine when forced.

EMUI 10 dark mode apply everywhere

Hello Guys,
i found this video where someone is showing the new dark mode on EMUI 10.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1enMV-ebGo&feature=youtu.be
There is a "Apply everywhere" option in the settings right under the dark mode, but it's not there if I try it on my P30 Pro with EMUI 10.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

Does anybody know why this is like that or how to fix that?

It will be added in final version, the official release. The stable release will also include new AOD, bubble notifications and more. Stay tuned for as i heard it will be released globally sometime in December ?
What we have now on our devices is just a Pre-Release version, that's why it's not bundled with all the good stuffs they've promissed to bring on EMUI 10 and is distributed through HiCare and not through normall OTA.

Well, this turned out to be false.
I just got EMUI 10 on the P30 (the stable, full final version) and the option to force Dark Mode is NOT there. So it seems to me that Huawei removed it from the final version.

Hi m8,
Since i've shared the post you've quoted, Huawei had a press conference where they said:
''According to Wang Chenglu, President of Huawei Consumer Business Software, these 8 smartphones will receive the Colorful AOD feature as soon as the first quarter of 2020. Huawei P20 Pro and other OLED display smartphones may receive this later.''
Source - https://www dot huaweicentral dot com/emui-10-colorful-aod-feature-will-rollout-in-q1-2020/amp/
Don't know why they choose to do it this way, but in the end is their choice when or how to update the AOD interfacev(on Mate 30 / Mate 30 Pro is available since release).
In order to force dark mode on EMUI 10, you can use an ADB command:
Enable Dark Mode: adb shell settings put secure ui_night_mode 2
Disable Dark Mode: adb shell settings put secure ui_night_mode 1

Nope and don't know for sure if it's because of that adb command or not, but on the apps that have dark/white/follow the system color scheme it opens by default in dark mode (Messages, Gmail, Chrome, Google Photos, Google, Google PlayStore, Shazam, Microsoft Outlook just few that i've tested).
Huawei should implement in developer mode force dark mode across all apps in order to workon all apss, but untill this day, it seems just a marketing scam (as the new AOD) from Huawei

Well,that already worked for me after I enable Dark Mode from normal menu..all apps that support dark mode have it enabled,except for Messenger from Facebook that needs to be activated manually. I was mostly interested to see if Facebook can be forced to use a dark interface(I know about a modded apk,but it's an older version...and I don't like the apps like Maki or others that just use the web interface darkened...that I can do from browser anyway). Thank you anyway.

the beta emui 10 made all apps force dark mode including facebook app. but got surprised with the stable one not getting that feature.
I have a realme x2 pro with colorOS 6.1 and it's dark mode is crazy you can manually force an app to use dark mode or not. that's the only feature I like about it lol hope Huawei implements the same idea
I have just upgraded from a Xiaomi Mi Max 3 (Stock MUI12.0.1 Android 10) and its Dark Mode has this feature so you can select the apps that you also want to force to use Dark Mode. This works excellently. Examples attached.
Is there still no way to replicate this on EMUI 10.1?

[ANDROID 5.1+] Lockscreen Widgets

A (very) long time ago, Android introduced a feature to allow you to show certain widgets on the lock screen. For some reason, this useful feature was removed with the release of Android 5.0 Lollipop, confining widgets to the home screen only.
While some manufacturers, such as Samsung, have brought back limited versions of lockscreen widgets, but you're usually limited to the widgets the manufacturer has already created for you.
Well, no more! Lockscreen Widgets brings back the functionality of yore, with some extra features.
- Lockscreen Widgets appears as a paged "frame" on top of your lockscreen.
- Add a widget by tapping the plus button in the frame. This plus button will always be the last page.
- Each widget you add gets its own page.
- You can press, hold, and drag a widget left or right to reorder it.
- Tap the frame with two fingers to enter the editing mode: you resize and move the frame, and remove the current widget here.
- Any home screen widget can be added as a lockscreen widget.
Inside the app, there are a few settings you can change:
- You can make the widget frame's background opaque if you want to overlay lockscreen elements.
- You can have the widget frame hide when there are notifications displayed on the lockscreen.
- You can have the widget frame hide when the notification shade is down. This probably won't work on heavily customized skins like EMUI or MIUI.
- You can have the widget frame hide when the security input view is shown (PIN/pattern/password/etc). This probably won't work on heavily customized skins like EMUI or MIUI.
And this is all without ADB or root! All the necessary privileges can be granted without even thinking about using a computer.
On the topic of privileges, these are the more sensitive permissions that Lockscreen Widgets needs to function:
- Accessibility. In order to display on the lockscreen, Lockscreen Widgets' Accessibility Service must be enabled. You will be prompted to enable it if needed in the initial setup, and any time you open the app.
- Notification Listener. This permission is only required if you want the widget frame to hide when notifications are displayed. You will be prompted if it's needed.
- Dismiss Keyguard In order to improve the user experience, Lockscreen Widgets will dismiss the lock screen (or show the security input view) when it detects an Activity being launched from a widget, or when you press the "Add Widget" button. This will not compromise your device's security in any way.
And that's it. Don't believe me? Lockscreen Widgets is open source! The link is at the bottom.
Lockscreen Widgets only works on Android Lollipop 5.1 and later because the necessary system features for displaying on the lockscreen didn't exist in Lollipop 5.0. Sorry, 5.0 users.

I am trying out this app but I am not quite sure how it works.
I have Live Wallpaper on. As soon as the AOD disappears and my lockscreen shows up, I see a small popup window or prompt flicker and then it just disappears.

I think that it is an issue with Samsung's dual layer lockscreen.
I have uninstalled the app but will monitor it for updates that will work with Samsung phones.
What's that weather widget called that you are showing there? Also how do I move the widget elsewhere I can't seem to figure it out
Edit: Figured out the editing, but could you please tell me what Weather widget is please?
Widget overlays phone screen
Hi,
I used the app and is wonderful. To have this features with all the restrictions put in new android versions is awesome!
I noticed one issue. I set up a widget on the lockscreen. When a call is received (with the phone locked) the phone's caller ID screen ahd all the dialer options there is overlayed by the widget. Thereby any touch interactions only apply to the widget and not to the caller screen. Since phone calls are the only thing that works with the phone locked, I assume this issue is with only this scenario.
Is there a way to fix this? Can you please check from your end too?
Thanks!

Love this so far.
I'm trying to add a KWGT to my LS. It tells me I need to set it up, which I can't do via the lock screen. Any ideas?
Can I get a promo code? This looks promising..
Hello.
After installing the application and giving it the necessary permissions and going to the lock screen there is no add button.
How to add a widget ?
Thank you.

Hello , before I buy it is there any way to tell me if this works in Xiaomi MIUI mi8 ?
Thank you
Any promo codes left?
Bought it & the idea is very good but have to eventually refund coz the widget layer keeps popping on my ambient display (on my OnePlus device) as well as the password input screen & it just keeps bugging me...Would definitely buy/install the app again when this issue is fixed.
Bought it but like others have said, had to refund because the widget wouldn't resize.

Tap the widget with two fingers to resize it.
Hey great job! Looking to buy this. Does this work on MIUI 11?
Does it work on EMUI 10?
It's nice that someone does something and there are effects, but when buying the application I do not know if it works and who I want to ask for a refund because it is not a fortune.

There is no concrete info in the PlayStore description about EMUI: "This probably won't work on heavily customized skins like EMUI or MIUI."

if you're using the chinese version it doesn't really show up. only in the global version.
You're right..i'm using the chinese version. never thought that this is a "global feature".

I dont think its true. On AOD I have only notification icons - nothing else. And I have global version.
If I go to notification settings for specific app I can choose only: notification drawe, status bar, lock screen, badge.
Can u share screenshot from your settings?

you mean..no date, no battery usage??
i'm totally confused...is there a (global or per app) AoD notification setting or not??

I assumed that battery and date/time are obvious.
In my case I have:
- battery
- date/time or some fancy shape
- notification ICONS. There is NO notification TEXT like u can see on the lock screen.
I dont think that there is any difference in this matter between global and CN version...but I will let others with CN/Global version confirm.it.

I've no notification icons and I don't know where I can activate that feature.
Btw...no matter which AoD Design I choose, in the preview I see notification icons. But only there, not when AoD is active.
Anyway...the AoD seems a little bit buggy. At some point during the night the AoD goes off (yes, the AoD is configured to stay always on). When I wake up and take the phone from the wireless charger the AoD came back. Strange behavior.

Do you have notifications on lock screen/status bar enabled?
yes...both enabled and i see notifications on lock screen/statusbar (from telgram, whatsapp etc.).
ok, today i received an old school sms and what should i say...there was a notification icon in the AoD.
so i think the problem exists somewhere in the app/notification settings. the problem is that the messages app has much less setting options than Telegram or WhatsApp etc..
please...can you post a screenshot of your working notification settings of telegram or whatsapp?
