Recently updated my redmi 9t with the new miui 12.5. After that i'm unable to unlock screen with fingerprint when using downloaded theme. It works if i use stock theme. Anyone knows how to somehow fix this. Your help is highly appreciated.
Hi,
I have the same problem. I didn't downloaded any theme or pictures, anything, all is in default, and still get that msg.
What is stock theme? After upgrade I got some picture on lock screen with snow and mountains.
Hi severac, stock theme is the standard theme (classic theme). I have tried to clear cache and memory for the theme app. The problem is still there.
Another problem i have is whenever i tried to change wallpaper for downloaded theme lockscreen it will change to the standard theme lockscreen.
Are you able to unlock screen with your fingerprint somehow?
After the new theme app update, unlock with fingerprint not working anymore. Even on standard theme. Uninstalling the update doesn't help either. Hope they fix this in the upcoming update.
Hmm, I managed to unlock my screen with finger. I can unlock it when screen is turned off by itself, for example, after 2 minutes. Then if I put my finger it unlock the phone. But, If I lock my screen with some app, like tap to lock, one touch to lock or similar, it doesn't unlock it with fingerprint after that.
Mine works only if the screen turned off with an app opened. Deleting and readding the finger print doesn't do anything.
Thanks for your feedback mate.
Guys, how did you get passed the lockscreen? my note 8T updated, and now I cannot get passed the lockscreen, I never set a password, only a pin and fingerscan. All it's asking for is a password.
Help. I do not want to wipe data etc

I've gotten more or less happy with the standard EMUI launcher, which with a little tinkering works nicely enough. BUT! The lockscreen is horrible, it doesn't show music controls unless the app is set as standard for music. This is hopeless as i often use different apps. Tidal/Poweramp for music, PocketCast for podcasts and Orange Squeeze controlling my Squeezebox.
It seems that it's possible to change lockscreen back in EMUI 3, but that doesn't seem to work in EMUI 4. Anyone know if it's possible to change to AOSP Lockscreen?

Well u can install the many lockscreens available from the Play store.
To disable the EMUI lock, enable developer options and there is a screen lock option in that.. Toggle it off
Nils lockscreen notifications has solved my issues until I get root. It's in the playstore.
Thar looks interesting, but the settings screen on this phone really confuses me. They've moved everything around
How did you disable notifications on the lockscreen?

I actually like it as this phone offers more control once you know where everything is (takes some time getting used to for sure ).
-->If you use magazine lockscreen (stock huawei) the option to turn them off is in the display settings.
-->If you set any other lockscreen theme in the theme selecter they automatically get disabled (that's what I currently do). And the option in the display settings goes away!
So is there no way to show music controls on the lockscreen without a third party app? The lockscreen does show my notifications (when set to magazine) but nothing when playing music or podcasts, for example using Podcast Addict.

Nils has lockscreen support for certain music apps but only a few... (using "nex music" atm)
Basically the huawei lockscreen sucks. Can't wait to get root and disable it. From what I've read the stock android lockscreen is there but only activates once you manually disable the huawei lockscreen. But I need some clarification on warranty before I unlock the bootloader.
The huawei lockscreen app is called "Keyguard" as far as I know, you could try and disable it if you have root.
Tbh if root can get rid of the lock screen that is reason enough to root it.
While everyone wants to get rid of the magazine unlock I need to restore it after flashing with a different firmware from B636 to C432, how do I restore the magazine unlock as it is now missing under the settings menu ?

I am not sure if the C636B170 at about 3GB is a full stock rom but that is what I did.
Hi all,
The only thing that drives me up the wall is not being able to have my set alarm time displayed on the lock screen as I do use my alarm few times throughout the day.
Huawei P9

Same thing happened to me (flashed B190 from B130). And even flashing it back to B130 didn't restore the magazine lock.
Found the default themes & wallpapers here
These seem to be mirrors from paulobrien, also an XDA user, however the links in his thread didn't work for me.
EDIT: original thread from paulobrien
and the default wallpapers/images here
Hope that helps mate, has taken me all night trying to find it all. Not sure why it's not included in any of the full roms I've downloaded & flashed.

I installed Dark Red Metallic theme on my P9 and it is a big improvement over stock. Iirc it possibly shows controls on lock screen too.

Hi, I have a Mate 9 but it might be similar.
I can't disable the EMUI lock in the developer options. It is greyed out saying: "Disabled by Administrator, encryption policy or credential storage"
Any idea. I really don't like the EMUI lock screen. Stock is so much better.

I can't seem to toggle it off it is grayed out any way around this?
same problem with my new mate 9. The magazine unlock is useless and annoying. I can't be bothered to take the extra step when unlocking the phone (I am used to swipe pattern and that's how it should be for me). Now, how to turn it off without taking the radical step of having to install new firmware..
Get the huawei themes app. Not the stock theme up but if you search the name on playstore you will find it. I use this to get access to other themes like copying other brands etc.
You get additional lock screens within that. If you just do a search of lockscreens as well, there is a good choice on the store.
thanks, now instead of changing the theme, what can we do to disable it?
Anyone know how to remove the magazine unlock if I've rooted the phone? I have no idea how to change it to something else.
Hi. My Magazine Unlock is not working properly. I set it in Themes and it shows as marked in Settings-Screen lock & passwords-Screen lock style so should be working fine. Despite that it doesn't show any photos on lock screen and there are no controls when I swipe from the bottom of lock screen (I mean play, next and so on).
I tried to put some photos manually into MagazineUnlock folder on internal memory but they don't appear on lock screen. Anyone knows how to make it work again and update the photos?
I've recently updated to EVA-L09C432B170 via dload method. May that be the cause?
Same issue here.
After flashing via dload method (and even back to the old firmware) I lost magazine unlock.
Have also tried downloading the stock themes and selecting them, but even though it says selected under Settings, lock screen remains the same static wallpaper image with no controls after swiping.
EDIT: turns out only the 'Black Label' theme enabled MagazineUnlock for me. I previously had Default(MagazineUnlock) but it didn't work, despite the name. Also needs to be under System/Theme, not just under SDCard/HWTheme
Someone knows an answer to this? I have the same problem currently and have no idea how to restore the functionality of the magazine unlock. Themes are shown in the theme manager and some even with the addition of "(Magazin unlock)", but it is not working even if selected.
mine wasnt working until i pressed this button ( the highlighted one in the pic) after that it started working again

hi. i had the same problem, had to change the theme to obsidian, then magazine unlock started working again.
What worked for me guys, is this...
When you activate your screen and keep seeing the same wallpaper (not magazine), simply DELETE the annoying wallpaper that won't change. Also make sure there is no "Lock" on the padlock on bottom left corner.
Hope this makes sense and helps someone from going crazy trying to figure it out
Hi guys,
I've been looking for a different lock screen from Magazine as it doesn't have some features that come in really handy (e.g. swipe to open/dismiss and above all a calendar/schedule widget). So far, Hi locker is the one that I found better suited to me. However, I have a problem: the phone does not allow me to use fingerprint unlocking without having password, pin or pattern. So, either I have a double lock screen (worst part, Magazine shows first!) or I cannot use the fingerprint sensor. Is there any way to solve this? Or at least have a basic calendar widget in the default lock screen? Thank you in advance!

Hi,
What's magazine you see this app? I am author of Hi Locker, I know bug and all lock screen apps have this bug... (reason is google).

Magazine is the default EMUI lock screen. It would also be a nice workaround to have Hi locker show up before EMUI lockscreen
Hi,
after I updated my P10 by OTA to Android Oreo and EMUI8, I can't get the Lock Screen notifications to work. The custom lock screen apps won't work either.
Do you have any tips on how I can get back my Lock Screen notifications?
Make sure using magazine unlock.
Go to theme app, customize, lockscreen then magazine lockscreen

Thanks for the quick reply, in fact, this seems to work with new Notifications. But previously I used Floatify, so I can see allnotifications, not only new ones.
I don't really understand why Huawei does such a thing, without the possibility to show all notifications
It's Google who's made the 3rd party lockscreen not work with the Oreo update, Huawei just are weird I assume?
And if you set it here?
How do I quick reply when I get a notification on my lock screen without unlocking my phone?
After update to Android 9.0 with my P20 Pro (without factory reset). I found a problem with Magazine Unlock, it doesn't change randomized lock screen.
What should I do?
Thanks

Maybe your magazine unlock is paused. When your phone is locked try to swipe up from bottom of the display. There you will get resume/pause(||) option. Resume it. Let's us know if issue still persists.

Currently having the same problem as the OP. One moment it was working fine, and now it doesn't work at all. I have the magazine unlock setting on and ticked all the boxes and when I lock my phone it just shows the home screen wallpaper. I've checked the settings on the lock screen itself, there is a lock icon but when I press on it nothing happens. If I add my own images into the magazine unlock folder, they work fine and like the magazine unlock feature should work, but I really enjoyed seeing the random photos that would appear before. I honestly can not find a fix for this and I don't really want to factory reset my phone, so would really appreciate if someone has a work around for this.

You need to unlock your lockscreen wallpaper
Now, go to you lockscreen then swipe up from bottom
There are several settings there..
Press the locked icon
And you can change the time or another setting for your lockscreen wallpaper
So you can have your random magazine again..
Hope it helps you
I tried going through your steps DTsPro but sadly it wouldn't work. Like I said if I add my own pictures to the magazine unlock feature it works no problem and I can use the swipe up unlock/lock feature on the lock screen with those images, the moment I delete them and try to use the built in magazine unlock images, I just get a static image and I'm unable to select any of the icons on the lock screen settings however it says on wallpapers and themes that magazine unlock is selected... It is a very weird and somewhat annoying problem that I just can't seem to find a solution for, but thank you for at least trying to help
Same as me p20 I have problem as well. Magazine unlock, whatever I do it doesn't work at all. Any help plz
On lock screen swipe from bottom of screen. It will show couple of options. Don't let screen unlocked with face recognition or fingerprint. These options appears on the lock screen when you swipe from the bottom of screen on locked screen. There is a lock icon on these option, tap on it and unlock it. It will show message that screen will change everytime. Try these options with cool mind. I was not able to figure it out for weeks. But now I have and it work like charm.
simple solution as it might sound, but change your theme and keep going through the process untill it shows the pop-up msg asking you if you want to keep or discard Magazine unlock and choose to keep, Voiala it goes back again.
