Hi, I'm a new to Huawei's EMUI and I'm having trouble accessing my notifications centre on my lockscreen. I've played around with the settings and still no luck. Is it not possible to access the notifications centre when I have a PIN lockscreen ? Appreciate all the help I can get.
Strange quirk on the Honor 7 is that lockscreen Notifications only seen to appear if you have the Magazine Theme set. So try go to Themes and make sure you have Magazine Theme set. Once you have done that and it works, you can then customise the theme for different wallpapers, icons etc as long as you keep the lockscreen as Magazine Theme. Let us knows if it works.

Of course, it is there, it is already installed in your device, it's called Bazzar or Bazzar_golden. You cab use either and then customise it.

I set the theme back to Magazine but my notifications are still not showing up on the lockscreen. However, after reading up a little, it may be my PIN lock that may be preventing me from seeing the notifications. I guess I was expecting to see the same thing on a stock Android lockscreen even with a PIN lock (You can see the notifications before swiping up to enter the PIN).
Ah maybe, I have PIN lockscreen enabled also but have my android smartwatch always connected, which removes the PIN unlock when the watch is in range, which is all the time, lol.

I absolutely love the ripple effect unlock on the S3 - But I kinda hate the lockscreen itself (bad quality image for the wallpaper, ugly clock, non-customized icons for shortcuts, etc...).
Does anyone have any ideas on how I could either customize the S3 lockscreen and use my own clock widgets and/or icons OR somehow get the ripple effect unlock over to my WidgetLocker screen...?
I'd probably just prefer to use the ripple unlock in WidgetLocker.

Not sure on this, widgetlocker is great, but I find it causes wakelocks which isn't helpful. I just wish there was a way to what shortcuts show on the stock lockscreen, and wish it showed todays calendar appointments. That would make it pretty close to perfect without dealing with widgetlockers battery drain issue.
Fwiw, I notice that widget locker constantly asks for your location in the permissions log... Not widget related as I had nothing on the screen just a slider. Guessing that is what causes the wakelock'ing

You can change what shortcuts on lockscreen. Settings. Security. Lock screen options. Short cuts

Awesome, thanks for that.... Now if we could only get Calendar appointments to display, maybe a dev will work it out. Although probably just use the AOKP / CM lockscreen if that's the case when the time comes.
Install water drops plus from the play store and choose whichever wallpaper you like to put under the water and you can use it with widget locker.. Maybe add a transparent slider for now also... That's the best thing I can think of

Disable automatic drops in settings so it only ripples on touch unless yu like it automatic.. Just play around with it..

Heh i sent the author of WidgetLocker an email the other day talking about this very thing....
I not only like the ripple effect but the slider itself being able to be used from ANYWHERE on the screen is nice.
Usually WidgetLocker is very good about adding features and fixing issues in the past.. the only reason I can see him not being able to do something like this would be due to restrictions with the OS itself.
As for the suggestion on waterdrops.. that's great if you don't already use a LiveWallpaper If you use a Livewallpaper like I do, you cannot have 2 of them running at once (one for the lockscreen and one for the normal phone operation).
Hi there. I have a galaxy s3 since a mounth or two and i have a contact that i call 20 or 25 time per day.
I want to know if there is a HACK or a MOD to integrate a direct call shortcut to the original lockscreen of the S3.
Thanks
I'm not sure about a hack/mod for the stock lock screen - someone else will hopefully clue you in about that.
Failing that though you could replace the stock lock screen with Widgetlocker which will allow you to add custom shortcuts and widgets (such as a direct dial widget for instance) to the lock screen.

I know this is old topic but Samsung did no changes to solve the problem. I wanted to keep original lock screen and be able to launch shortcuts from it, so I wrote an app for it. Application can be mapped with any shortcut, so when you press app icon it works like pressing shortcut icon. Unfortunately there is no possibility to change app icons, so I put launcher icons with different numbers on it.
Application is called Shortcut Launcher. You can download it from Google Play.
And if you don't want to install stuff, you could just add a call contact widget on the homescreen, you would still have to unlock it but it's some steps quicker
You can also use the ROM SlimBean, it has the option to add widgets to the lockscreen
hello,
i bought the honor 7 via vmall.eu. out of the box the notifications (WhatsApp, gmail, ...) worked at the lockscreen. after a few hours, they were missing. i did not change any settings, it just happend. after i tried i few things in the settings menu, i tried a factory reset. after this the notifications worked again for a few minutes, but went missing after a time.
the honor vibrates and i get the notification at the top-bar. but the display wohnt wake up und there is no message at the lockscreen.
the notifications worked at first so i dont think i made any wrong setting.
is this a know problem and is there a solution?

Yup...looks like it's only the magazine themes that support lockscreen notifications. Pity there's no other way round it
can you show more details about the settings flow? i having this problem also as i dun understand where is the magazine themes located at... sorry, i'm new user of huawei gadget. appreciate your help
Find the Themes app, already on you phone, then open it, select either the Bazzar theme or the Bazzar_golden theme and then hit Apply at the bottom. (BTW you can customise the theme with different icon sets, wallpapers etc afterwards)
Just curious, anyone know where/how I can get the 5x2 widget from my G3 to my V10?
Update...NVM I found it, feel like a newbie for posting now...
Please share!

....actually it was already on the device, didnt need to download anything.....I just missed it, but it was actually on the last page when you are scrolling over the various Widget Options...just look for WEATHER 5x2, and SMART NOTICE 5x2, by default my H961N uses the WEATHER 3x1...
Anything 5x2 that has a Transparent Background?
Xwidgets has a gang of them, it's on the play store

Beautiful widgets, you can find it on play store.
You can turn off the background.
And also set specific apps to work when you tap the hours, minutes, weather, and date.
They have a bunch of themes to change the text and layout.
POCO Launcher is surprisingly simple and elegant — at least, for Xiaomi. It might look simple, but it packs in plenty of options, including things as detailed as different transition animations, sort of like Nova Launcher. The app drawer is accessible via a convenient and typical upward swipe, and apps are organized by type into categories like communication and entertainment.
The setup process is straightforward, and there are a surprising number of individual settings to explore, though it doesn't hold a candle to things like Nova Launcher when it comes to sheer customization options. Presumably, it's also in active development, so we should see more features landing soon.
Unfortunately, we can't download it over on the Play Store since the beta program registration is currently full. However, we can download it from APK Mirror .

I would like to see a dark theme in it... But all of MIUI has light theme..
I would have loved to see an option to resize the icons, did not find it through the setting so far, wonder if it is available yet.

It depends on the theme that you have installed in your MIUI-powered phone. For example "Geometry Black" that I have in my Mi5 is dark everywhere. In general, the default themes that xiaomi phone have are light-themed.
I don't know what is the similar theme for Poco and if this theme is compatible with it as I don't have it yet.

geometry black is available in themes and it tuns background o black for settings and all. The app drawer still stays white tough, which defeats its purpose. It more for MIUI & not optimised for "MIUI for POCO"
Just moved to Nova for a two reasons:
*no option to set grid sizes ( desktop and app drawer).
*Nova teslaUnread add on solves (at least temporary) lack of notification problem in notification bar.
*ability to change color/transparency of app drawer background.

By this do u mean the unread count badge on home page icons or does Nova give u notification in the status bar.
Even Poco gives unread badge just not the counts.

Yes, I meant badges and sadly is doesn't work properly for some apps. maybe I missed this option on poco launcher. But still grid adjustment is nesasary.
Yeah, it's great, but I would like to have 4 icons in a row with bigger icons, such as in iOS.
Also, some kind of live or scrollable wallpapers support would be nice.
Individual change of icons such as in Nova Launcher, too.

It's basically the same miui launcher with the added app drawer
its there a way to change the navigation bar color scheme, for some reason on dark apps the navigation bar below its all white its horrible
Something funny i noticed with Poco launcher.
Locking homescreen layout should mean no icon/widget can either be added to or removed from the homescreen.
But apparently, after you lock homescreen layout in settings, you can still add an app shortcut to the homescreen but you can't add a widget!
Just updated to latest Poco launcher,was the word on the header at the app drawer before?
No, it wasn't.
Did you update from PlayStore?
Post some impressions, please. Is it OK or is it buggy?
