One of the key features of Huawei’s Emotion UI (EMUI) is the ability to install custom themes onto the device.
Themers can package their work into .hwt files that can then be applied by EMUI’s theme manager application. Users can customize the lock screen style, wallpapers, icons, background colors, and finally the font.
However, some users who upgraded to EMUI 5.0, the latest version based on Android 7.0 Nougat, have found that the “Font Style” option is missing. Furthermore, it appears that these users cannot even change their fonts by applying custom themes that have packaged their own fonts. I can confirm that this is the case on the Huawei Mate 9, as have many others.
Fortunately, there is quite an easy fix available to re-enable switching the font style, and it doesn’t require root. If you have a Huawei device on EMUI 5.0 and cannot find the “Font Style” option under Settings –> Display or in the customization menu of the system theme manager, then all you need to do is send the following ADB shell command:
adb shell settings put system hw_hide_font_style false
(Note: if you can’t get ADB working, make sure you have the proper driver installed. Installing HiSuite will automatically fetch the right driver.)
Reboot, and you should now be able to edit fonts on your Huawei device running EMUI 5.0! I hope you find this tip useful. This doesn’t appear to be a problem on every device running EMUI 5.0 (I’ve seen mixed reports on the Mate 8, P9, and Honor 8 forums), but if you haven’t been able to edit your font hopefully this will work for you. It certainly did for me!

Pulling my hair on this one; I have rooted the tab successfully, flashed cAndroid 5.01 and it runs great, but won't accept any of the dozen version of Gapps (GPS stop, AOSP keyboard fail, Play Store Hangs, etc.) I have tried, so I thought, let's just try AOSP or cAndroid Nougat, which I have successfully flashed to my Nexus 7 2012 (note re-purpose addiction). Various sideloaded apks work with no issue on the 5.0 ROM, no google apps or services.
I am running CW Mod for flashing and SR5-SuperSU 2.8 for root and the AOSP Rom exits with Status 0, and the cAndroid exits with Status 7, and I am hesitant to edit the install script. Rootcheck show device rooted successfully.
Any help with either would be appreciated, ultimate goal is getting Onenote to run, again, which I have done for both 5.x and 7.x on nexus, using old APKs
Upate your Recovery to the TWRP Version >= 2.8.7.0..
Do you have a link for the twrp build for the gt-p7310, can't find it listed under twrp supported devices
thanks
Searched with every criteria I can come up with, can't find a .zip for GT-P7310 or p5wifi for >2.7
SOLVED
Found right copy of TWRP, installed and now running Nougat on the tab, thanks for the assist
Spoke to soon , update to 7.1.2 goes fine, but no keyboard works none of them will activate when a text field is tapped
You can actives the keyboard under setting, language and inputs , vituelle keyboards
Thanks for the update ; I have the device working properly now with 7.1.2 AOSP thanks to updating my TWRM ; everything works but anything Google or Microsoft - I have tried every version of GApps Zips, APKs GPS back to 10.0.8, Gmail, Play, Gboard, etc. and everytime I introduce anything Google , it flakes out, get service stopped messages from Play Services, Gboard stops, etc. Oddly enough GHandwriting works which i use alot on m other tabs with Onenote, which also won't run, I am assuming b c of GPS; Onenote installs passively, but errors out 8000400 evertime, which seems to be some kind of sign in error, but TS steps I have found have not worked. OTher than the Google and MS snafus, device runs better than ever and i am resolved to using Evernote and exporting over to one note when i need to, any ideas would be appreciated , I like the size of this device and hate to trash anything useful - Thanks for the reply
I instale the ( Lineage os 17.1.20200415 and Gapps) on my S8+ . All ok ,Thanks to the developer . The only problem is with Android Auto and the usb connection in Lineage software... maybe authorities usb choice is not to file tranfer...
In S8+ with original samsung os "android 9" the application android auto with same version as above function very well.
I think the problem is the way that lineage manage the usb connection with Android Auto!!!
When Android Auto strat in the infotainment the phone usb force (goes) to "without file transfer" and the connection stops
Any help

I observe the same behavior when connecting the old Samsung S5 Neo running LOS 17.1 to the HU. The USB connection type switches to "no data transfer" just when plugged to HU's USB port regardless of the type it was set to before. But it does not matter, it connects to HU anyway.
But I still cannot use it as it disconnects from HU some time after. I guess it is not related to the USB connection type as it keeps connection for some time (from couple of seconds to 1 or 2 minutes) before it disconnects from HU.
Me too. I have Redmi Note 7 and lineage 17.1 with gapps (nano i stock tested) and app shows that accessory is not supported and car display shows that application quit unexpectedly. Mayby some google service is broken/uninstalled? I tested also on PixelExperience ROM and it works fine.
also, have moto g6 plus and do the same behaviour... on stock rom andorid auto works great, in pixel experience also work great, just lineage send mi the "device not compatible" popup. does anyone had a work around or do i need to reflash another rom. thanks in advance for your comments.
Me too.
My wife’s stock pixel 4, no problem.
My Samsung A5 2017 when it had stock ROM, no problem.
My Samsung A5 2017 with LOS 17.1, not working with my truck’s Android Auto.
AA app on the phone installs and functions well, but when plugged into the 2018 Chevy, the phone says:

Any searching and reading shows many having this issue with 16 and 17 but not earlier versions.

Yes, I can confirm that. The latest GApps that works to me with AA on LOS 17.1 is the 20201201 one. All the newest versions I tried so far have the "No installed apps work with this USB accessory." issue.
Oooooh Yeah!
That fixed it! I re-flashed with open gapps 2020-12-01 and the truck picked it up right away.
In the truck, when I plugged it in, I pressed Android Auto on the display and it hung saying it was checking messages. Even after reconnecting the USB a few times. So on my dash I went to settings, AA, where all phones are listed and pressed mine to make it inactive, then again to make it active.
Then everything worked!
Thanks so much.
I have just installed LOS 17.1 on my Pixel 5", but with Microg rather than OpenGapps. Not downloaded AA just yet, and wondered if others have had issues with Microg?

I had absolutely no issues with LOS 17.1 and Android Auto together with my smart EQ, but now since April, after the Upgrade to LOS 18.1 I get exactly the same error output like you.
Is this problem Android 11 or OpenGApps related? I'm on the latest official OpenGApps test build from january since there is nothing newer available atm.

Hi, I am having the same issue with crDroid on Android 11 using gapps aroma and pico build from 2021-01-30. Are you able to provide one from December 2020 for Android 11? Or are you on Android 10? I don't see it here. Or do you know if another build works? I'm hoping to use open gapps aroma. Thanks for the help.
Hey guys I found a solution for those who can't get Android Auto to display on their car screen with Android 11 and gapps.
So after having issues with the gapps I tried MindTheGapps and Android Auto was working on there. I noticed that when I flashed the ROM Android Auto was installed already, but it was just a little stub app, only about 3 mb. So I decided to copy the folder containing the apk file and install it into a ROM with OpenGapps. The original file was placed in system/product/priv-app, so I copied it there using TWRP then rebooted. It did not work. So I uninstalled all the updates to AA and removed it then pasted it back in, and ended up in a bootloop. So finally I tried installing the stub app in /system/priv-app and rebooted. I then updated AA on the play store and it worked! So it seems that in order to get AA working you need this little stub app that must contain the necessary code to connect to your car. Note that AA will no longer show up in your launcher but you can download the "Android Auto for Phone Screen" app if you need to use it both on your car screen and on your phone in a car without an AA head unit. So the steps are as follows
Copy the attached apk file into a folder called AndroidAutoStubPrebuilt
Completely uninstall AA from your phone, both in user apps and system apps.
Boot into TWRP
Mount System in the "Mount" setting in TWRP
Copy the AndroidAutoStubPrebuilt folder containing the attached apk into system/priv-app/ (or your preferred folder but it needs to be in a system folder, I had a bootloop when I installed it into system/product/priv-app so if something like that happens try a different folder)
reboot your phone
install play store update for AA
set up AA on your phone
Connect to your car.
Enjoy.
Hopefully this fixes the issue for you guys as well. If it does, please let me know!
For reference I am using a US Moto G5 plus XT1687 (Potter) running CrDroid 7.5 with Open Gapps Aroma and Magisk.
This stub app comes from flashing the MindTheGapps package and is in no way my creation, I am simply sharing the apk from it for those who are using open gapps and can't get AA working. Thanks MTG, I couldn't have found this solution without it!

Very Interesting! I hope that the OGApps team will take account of your important hint and that we'll find a fix in the next builds.
Thanks for sharing, we'll definitely include this (or something similar) in our next builds.

Brilliant!! This just did the trick with LOS 18.1 and opengapps 11 beta 20210130 on my XZ1 compact. I've been holding off on the update because of this. Thank you!!!

How can I uninstall the Android Auto from user apps and system apps?
Hya,
i have a sagit phone, with lineageos 18.1 on it, pioneer head unit capable of AA and CP. Until last weekend, it worked fine. After an error, where i had to factory default the phone and reinstall the apps again,i get the message "Phone permission needed to take calls. When it's safe, turn on the phone permission in Settings."
But all permissions are set for AA, including phone.
Any hint in how to solve this?
Thx in advance!
Did you check your Bluetooth settings if phone permission is on for your pioneer head unit Bluetooth connection?
Hi, same problem, not tried yet with bluetooth settings as suggested above. Did it work? ('m lazy to make a new attempt with LOS 18.1, I explain why below)
So if it's not working with the tip above, I give here some clues :
I recently upgraded my Sony X Compact from Android 8 to lineageos 18.1 (Android 11) with MindTheGapps installed. Everything works fine except these call permissions.
I decided, after several failures, to test LOS 17 and calls are now possible from AA.
In Android 11, AA is natively integrated. In A10, it's not, it doesn't appear in the bluetoth/NFC settings, like in Android 8. Does this make the difference? A8 and A10 seem using the same permissions process, A11 not.
About permissions, I found another thread close to my issue and could be related: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/linageos-16-overlay-permission-denied-but-it-is-checked.3924101/ . I tried the second method (Magisk) but it gave nothing and I'm just a newbie in Android world to try the other methods.
Any suggestions ?
Update from last reply
I finally installed LOS 19.1 (Android 12) with still MindTheGapps and everything works perfectly with AA. So it doesn't seem to be an Android version issue but rather LOS 18.1 itself or MindTheGapps. Maybe by using other gapps you'll get it work (I didn't try).
Hi,
I've upgraded my 9 y.o. Galaxy Note 4 to LineageOS 18.1 recently and was very happy with it until I stumbled on the same problem.
Android Auto claimed to have phone permission in the Application settings but the permission was impossible to change (mandatory/grayed out) and the unit in my Civic 10 was showing the same error as pw44's.
Having no UI to fiddle with, I thought maybe that can be tweaked with some ADB command, and after some reading here:
How to Grant Permissions Using ADB in Android
It can be tricky to grant advanced permissions to Android apps without rooting your phone. Here's how you can use ADB to achieve it.
www.makeuseof.com
and there:
Listing permissions of Android application via adb
Using adb, how can I find out the which permissions an Android application requires? Because I want to display the permissions of multiple applications on different devices, viewing them in Google...
stackoverflow.com
I came up with a command that fixed it:
adb shell pm grant com.google.android.projection.gearhead android.permission.CALL_PHONE
Obviously, I googled that exact command and found confirmation here:
