That's what google designed. Huawei uses android. designed by google. They skin it over to add their own flair and put it out. If you look at past nexus devices they've had the soft keys like that for years now.

Google released the Android L developer preview which included those specific navigation buttons four months ago. My guess is that after Google released that Huawei updated their skin to include the new shaped soft keys.

Yea some interesting changes & features with few quirks i hope they do something about.
The white background in settings look clean but a bit too Samsungish ? Infact prefer they retained the EMUI 3.0 (removed in Emui 4.0) aspect of stock apps where certain elements of the stock apps changed in color with change in wallpaper to give a unified feeling.
They have changed the clock app and removed their signature rounded design and also made it white maybe for consistency. But not feeling it.
Also i have already sent a feedback (via stock Hicare app) to give the notification/shortcut panel the ability to stretch down a lot more until top row of shortcuts reach the center making it easy for one hand usage.
Another subtle change they could make is with the navigation bar which should be given an option to fade out into dots.

totally agree with you.
hope it gets more refined as it comes out of beta,:good:
Nougat is now officially out. I hope P9 Plus would get EMUI 5 soon. The plus is the higher priced phone between the two anyway
Comparing MIUI 8 to EMUI 5.0, the latter needs to do a lot more in polishing aesthetics.
The more i look at Emui 5.0 the more i tend towards feeling it looks ugly and poorly thought out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1qfU0ln9u8
I hope they don't release officially in such fashion (could release beta version for public) and take time to work out more on the aesthetics.
After watching the EMUI 5.0 official intro video, now i better appreciate what they have done and where their inspiration is from.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKYo7Kn7SlA
They still have places to implement that electric blue and white scheme all over though. The setting is too multicolored and could have been slightly more minimal. The shortcut panel is black unlike the rest of the white UI, and this panel still wasting half the screen space with shortcut all concentrated on top half of the screen. Hoping also that nice looking electric blue animations are used more. An animated battery and clock icon on the top bar. Ability to switch to black and electric blue scheme for night time. Also like other UI's they need a single or couple of official themes that keep getting refined with every update. But EMUI despite having pre-installed themes, none seems to have retained as an official theme that fits perfect with the rest of the UI.

EMUI 4 Clock App in EMUI 5?

Hi,
A friend of mine recently bought an Honor 6X which shipped with EMUI 4. It updated to EMUI 5 the other day and the change is driving her mad
I convinced her that staying with EMUI 5 is better than rolling back, which she has accepted, but she really misses the clock app from EMUI 4
I google and found some apks but she cannot install them. I even extracted the apk from a system image myself but again it did not work. The error is "the package appears to be corrupt"
My assumption is that since it was built for MM and replaced in EMUI 5, it simply is not compatible with N
Does anyone know how difficult it would be to unpack the apk and try to modify it so it will work? Either that or does anyone know if someone has already done this?
Thanks
I've faced that error too, but i suppose for other problems (still didn't understood if Huawei placed some protections on their apks or not, as an extracted compass apk on my phone that wasn't even possible to reinstall always on my phone without changes from a minute to another). Surely an app written for EMUI 4.1 couldn't be compatible with a system running EMUI 5, but dunno how could be difficult to directly modify the apk file... And overall, if it'll ever works!
You can use Moto g5 plus clock widget. If you are interested here it goes. It looks actually nice.

Dark google feed

Hello!
Is there a way to add a dark theme to the Google feed on the stock launcher ?
I have dark mode enabled on my phone and that white feed just looks out of place.
Cpl launcher has it.

Try this (I found purely by accident on Reddit)
1. Leave the Google app beta program (if enrolled)
2. Goto device settings / Google app and clear data and cache
3. Goto playstore and update to latest Google app (do not re enroll to the beta program)
4. Change your device default language to English (US) and reboot.
5. Set a dark theme / wallpaper on your launcher.
6. Enjoy your new dark feed
NB
Confirmed only working on Oreo 8.1 and above and is working on my Huawei Honor 7s with Oreo 8.1 and EMUI 8.0
I tried but no luck. Maybe the method doesn't work on Android pie.

It ONLY works on Android 8.1 and 9.0 pie, no other versions.
I can confirm it works on pie, I have a Motorola E5 Play (Pettyl) running an android 9.0 treble GSI, works fine.

Actually that is not the case, with EMUI 8 the feed changes to dark if you have a wallpaper that is dark overall, it does it by itself (Google feed)

As I said in my previous comment, I've had a dark feed in EMUI 8 for weeks on my honor 7S, but I didn't get it until I left the google beta and changed my default language From English UK to English US.

When my Mate 10 Pro was on EMUI 8 ,the feed never changed to the dark theme. The wallpaper was mainly dark and I'm always keeping dark mode on.

If you're using the EMUI launcher the news feed isn't Google, it is the Huawei version (HiCard) right now I'm using the pixel launcher (it uses Google feed) and the feed automatically changes depending on your wallpaper, no setting change needed. I'll have to switch back to EMUI and check.

I have EMUI 8 on an honor 7s and the Huawei launcher has the google feed, and always has. I don't have "hicard" anywhere on my device.
Edit
The Huawei honour range is very different to the Huawei range proper, what I have here and what you guys may have doesn't mean everyone and every device has exactly the same thing, it's all down to device and firmware - I thought I better point that out so people don't get upset or confused
I did explain there was no guarantee making those changes would work.
Several EMUI 9 users are saying on the Reddit post I copied this from that it doesn't work, where as EMUI 8.0, 8.1 and 8.2 users claim this works fine (like it does for me)

Received EMUI 11 beta on the international Mate 20 X

I tried to enroll my device in the beta project for EMUI 11. Has not got a feedback through the app, but a month later has received OTA EMUI 11.
No huge changes, bit for a reason the interface looke better (pretty much IOS 14ish. More fluid, better performance as well as few pits and pieces here and there.
So far:
Text optimised cropping. I think it was there already, but now works better.
Better multitasking with apps drawn in a window while ongoing background apps/ interface working simultaneously.
Better visuals, closer to IOS ones (don't know who follows who, got lost a while ago and I don't really care). Actually I like the EMUI idea being a middle ground between iOS and Android
On the other hand, I believe that WiFi is not right with some connectivity issues.
However it's still early days, let's see how it goes

I applied to the international version. Hasn't got a reply. But 2 weeks later got the OTA update.
I'm still on EMUI 9.1 because EMUI 10 ruined the speaker sound quality. How is it on EMUI 11?
Oh and the multi screen dock: does it let you launch all the apps you have in split screen or in a floating window, or only some approved apps?

sound quality is veeery subjective, so cant comment on that. especially since i wasnt on 9.x for long, updated to 10 almost instantly.
as for the multi window option, it basically lets u add any app to a sort of quick select, from which u can then create a bunch of floating windows (resizeable)

Thanks for the reply.
Would you say the sound quality of the speaker is the same as with EMUI 10?
And for the floating windows: it let's you add any app that's installed on your phone? Even let's say the "Settings" app?

it seems to be a tad louder than before, but again, very subjective.
as for the floating windows: as far as i can see, it only covers user installed apps, no system apps.

Thanks mate. Sorry for all the questions but I want to be sure that I'm upgrading to something I'm going to be liking.
One last question, about the floating apps. Can you only launch a floating app from the apps you've put in the dock? Or can you also launch them from the whole list of apps you get when you press the "+" icon (or do you have to put them in the dock first)?

no worries, happy to help. the dock has a total of 15 slots and can be configured freely with any user installed apps. once added, u can then open the apps from the dock as floating windows.

the dock is not always showing, if that is your worry. there is a shortcut gesture, dragging from the side of the screen towards the center and then hold a bit, that brings up the dock.
if i remember correctly, there is a different gesture that can activate split-screen mode with currently running apps. dont remember what that was though (i only ever use one floating window at a time, usually for watching a video while surfing the net or texting)

Did EMUI 11 introduce a tap-to-wake feature for the front screen? I read they might include a back panel tap feature, but that is of less interest to me.

Oh one last question: can you resize the floating window? EMUI 10.1 didn't let you resize it but maybe they've changed it in EMUI 11.
