Hello fellow Xiaomi users,
I got my Redmi 5 Plus a few days ago, updated it only via the system update (no custom twerks yet).
Currently I have the stock Android 7.1.2 N2G47H and the stock MIUI 9.6.2.0 NEGMIFD.
I have a couple of questions about the phone and I would really appreciate your help:
1) Will this phone get an official Oreo update? I've read that there should be one, but couldn't find any official date mentioned.
2) Stock launcher - I noticed that I couldn't remove app icons from the stock launcher. Is there a way to do that, and customize it all together?
3) Nova launcher - Since I couldn't remove unneeded app icons from the stock launcher, I installed Nova. An issue I find with it though, is that I no longer get skype notification sound - only vibration. Also sometimes messenger fails to make a sound as well, but that happens fairly rare. Any idea on a fix for this? Or maybe recommend a better launcher, that works with the phone?
4)Viber - I am using dual SIMs. One personal, and one for work. I activated only my work viber, but as soon as I started using it, it transferred all my contacts in it. So now my personal and work contacts got mixed. Wouldn't be an issue, If I didn't use viber on my work PC, and I would rather my personal chats to not be there. Any suggestion on how to separate my contacts? Anyone else had this issue?
5) Alarm sound - I am not sure if this happened after I switched to Nova, but my alarm sound is really low. The phones speakers are quite good, but when it comes to the alarm its quite low. I can barely hear it and wake up
6) Freezing - Sometimes when I type in let's say messenger, the phone freezes for some reason, until I type the next letter. For example if I try to type the word "submarine", I can type "subma" but it will freeze on "subm", and when I type the next letter (r) it will spit out both of the last written letters "submar" and then continue to work normally. What can cause those freezes?
I would really love to hear your opinion on these points.
Thanks in advance guys
1) For sure, in the main miui site is indicated and if is there is a closed beta available then we can expect an official version.
2) Remove the icons from stock launcher will mean uninstall them, you can only move them to the next display and maybe group them.
3) Check if all permissions are granted for this launcher including device control and accesibility, also enable in Nova persistent notifications. I use stock launcher, I put my preferred apps in main desktop, the others just moved them to the right and using the app "My Drawer" from developer Ofir Miron, it´s the only that I found that keeps the same icon from any theme that I pick, the others look very ugly.
I´m rarely use the other points so I don´t know

Thank you for the reply, I guess I will wait for the update for now, and experiment some more with Nova.
One more thing that came to mind - any way to use the proximity sensor to stop the phone for ringing or to answer calls? I had this options on other android phones - when the phone rings, and you bring your phone close to something (like your year) it picks up. Or when you flip it face down it stops the ringing. Any of these options available?? Can't find them so far.

I like the actual dialer itself, the buttons are nice and big and easy to hit, but there are a few things about it i wish were a bit more intuitive. For one, i believe on my old phone, when you start punching letters/numbers it would tend to pull up the most expected result...so if you call a number a lot that would be above say someone you don't ever call. but this doesn't do that so i am constantly seeing the same random contact at the top when i punch the first FOUR digits for one of my top dials. Which brings my next point, i don't like that you only get one choice to start, my old phone i could see like 4 or so contacts then touch the one in the list from there. on this dialer, i always have to hit the thin bar where it tell how many matches you have, and it's easy to miss that with your finger. I also wish that when you come into the dialer it listed more than just your last single connection.
I may try out something else, any suggestions?

Try typing the digits that correspond with the first few letters in the name of the person you are trying to call
That is what I am doing now

I hate the stock dialer bc it ONLY shows ONE name/number when you start dialing. I'm used to seeing at least 4 names/numbers on that screen. I use GO Dialer instead. It's an ugly shade of blue, but the keypad is transparent translucent, and also goes away when you scroll the list of names/numbers.
I like the stock dialer
I looked at some alternatives but I like the stock one better.
The only gripe I have with the stock dialer is that I can't get it to work in landscape mode. Any one out there know how to get it to rotate automatically. I can't find any settings for it to make it rotate.
the only dialer that i consider very good is the one from MIUI
everything else doesnt compare in my book
Go Dialer is pretty good. First one I actually find acceptable. All of the "Go Dev" apps are quite good, and updated constantly. Plus they actually tell you what they updated, and on what date.

I found Go contact right b4 I saw your post too lol
I was going to come here and update this thread
but yea
Go contact + sms + launcher has been awesome
I can't use the stock dialer cause I changed my LCD density (210) and that breaks the stock dialer. Was trying to get used to go dialer but it doesn't transfer numbers from Google maps, ie if I do a search on maps and click the dial button, go dialer comes up blank. That alone was a dealbreaker for me. I use dialer one, very functional, fast, and looks like stock. I also was not a fan of the weird blue shade of go dialer.

I don't mind the stock dialer, I only mind that the stock contacts app doesn't allow you to filter your contacts at least to phone only on the bell version. the contacts tab does that for you (for obvious reasons) but it makes the contacts app useless to me as it shows everyone I have emailed on gmail as a contact.
I use dialer one. Its very good and similar to sense dialer
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
i was about to post a thread looking for some dialer and contacts app. i gave up on the stock one, so not intuitive. my last phone was windows mobile, and the way you find contacts using the dialer is so much better than the stock android. so i tried Go Dialer and Dialer One as suggested here to test both. any more options out there is appreciated
Hello everyone!
I've got some questions about my galaxy S2.
I have my device for about a month now and decided to root it (ICS).
I installed GO launcher and for some reason it appeared in my task manager and i swiped it away by accident and thats where the ~ started
Got a black homescreen, rebooting didn't help so i thought well this is some kind of brick?
Yesterday i downloaded the pre-leaked 4.1.2 jelly bean (as belgium still doesn't have the official update) and put it on my device. I think it's dated from early november 2012.
Everythings working fine now but i have a few questions about changing some settings i don't seem to find or that don't work.
1.) Text message app:
The chat bubbles seem larger and the text in it too compared to ICS (if i remember it correctly). Is there any way to make make the font size even smaller than the default "extra small" which is quite large in my opinion. I don't want to use another messaging app and i tried a few apps to change font size but they didnt change it inside the messages app.
2.) Message buzzer:
When recieving a message my phone buzzes very hard and loudly for about a whole second eventhough i put it on heartbeat :s
Any idea how to fix this?
3.) Notification bar:
When sliding down the notification bar the upper row of switches always is in the middle position and then scrolls sideways to the first switch automatically, is this normal? and is there a way to change this?
4.) Go Locker:
When pressing a button to open the lockscreen my touch doesnt always respond. Need to lock it again, light up the screen again and then i'm able to swipe the screen. Normal?
Thanks in advance
I'd answer your questions one by one but i'm gonna make an aseveration instead.
It's normal, you'll get used to it, use the vol rocker to change the size.
You're on the leak, you can flash the netherlands ROM if you like, it's jb final.
Some of the apps that worked so well on ICS won't work the same way because of the different OS and lack of app upgrade.

dun use go launcher/ go locker if u feel that it is the cause. go launcher is known for it's big memory hogging/ overeater. try buzz launcher :cyclops:
@gastonw i know about the volume button but it doesn't go as small as before
@cyelanius i have no trouble with the memory usage, dont see much diff in batery life and i'm not a gamer on this device
Thanks for the replies anyways
Trust me, you'll get used to; I did.

Hello,
yesterday I posted some bugs in another thread in reply to a posting aiming the Zopo Speed 7 (without plus). But this is the Zopo Speed 7 Plus forum, so I guess it's a good idea to start a new thread.
After recognizing some bugs with the ROM installed on the phone and doing the OTA-Update I decided to set up the phone completely new with the ROM 20150820-222820, that can be found on zobomobile.
After restarting the phone, some bugs seemed to be fixed:
- Small window view (round clock) in combination with the smart cover seemed to work now
- Ringtones are loud enough (for me, maybe not for other users)
- Widgets still operate after restart
Then I did some settings and after a while the Small window view starts again to misoperate. Sudden fade outs, dead screen, not wake up with Power-Button... After some hours I discovered, that the setting, to set the screen brightness depending on amient light is causing the error. If you switch this option on, closing the smart cover seemed to teel the phone: it's totally dark, switch off screen. Ok, I do not really need this option.
After a couple of reboots the widgets started to keep empty again. Grr... Changing the Launcher did not help.
But a little good news: I started Google Maps Navigation and the screen stayed on several hours. No sudden switch off anymore.
And the GPS fix is now in less than 5 seconds.
Maybe someone can find out, how to fix this annoying bug with the widgets.
Other bugs:
- if you change the default launcher with other one, at reboot the phone not save the settings of new launcher and return at default
- the notification of some apps not worked (Facebook, Whatsapp, Tapatalk, ecc.) unless you starts to the apps the first time
I will update as soon as there are others

For widget bug I found a solution but you must have a root. App which widgets you use you must transfer in the system.
With FX File Explorer (you must first install the root addon) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.fx easily transfer it any app in the system.
For example I use HD Widget https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cloudtv.hdwidgets&hl , find HD widgets directory, transfer from data -> app directory in the system -> app directory and reboot. After the boot all widgets from HD Widgets app working normally and smoothly. So I did the same for a few programs and all operating normally :good:
I suppose I do the same with Nova Launcher
From:
To:
Some have a problem with a low sound in the speaker when ringing.
The solution is very simple.
With MTK Engineering Mode https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.themonsterit.EngineerStarter&hl go to MTK Settings -> Software Testing -> Audio -> LoudSpeaker Mode and under level set to Level 6, SET SET. That's it. Now the ringer is even too loud.
In fact the sound through the speakers is enhanced, music, youtube, etc.

I fixed this by rooting and deinstalling the stock launcher with titanium backup. I am using nova launcher instead. Works smoothly.

Works :good:
But the system/app folder has to be mounted as read-write first. Default is read only.
Now I can usw my weather and calendar Widgets normally. Thanks for this solution
Moving to system/app fixes notification problem
Hi, your widget-solution even fixes the problem with apps using an service in the background to receive notifications. :good:
I know bug with the Zopo Speed 7 plus (I guess the Speed 7 also) is that some Apps do not receive notification events in the background.
On my phone neither Whatsapp nor Threema receive ANY notifications after reboot. You have to open the App and after several seconds the
app start to receive sent messages from others. Even if they where sent hours ago. That is really annoying .
After closing the App it receives messages for a little time and then it seems, the App AND its background service is killed by Android. The
killing-algorithm seems to be set to VERY VERY agressive. That's absolutely unnecessary with 3 GB of ram. On my old HTC One X plus I had
1 GB and al works like a charm.
First I got the autostart control feature of the Zopo Speed 7 Plus in mind, but no settings (Allow all, Allow Whatsapp/Threema, Deny all etc.)
did work.
Then I thought of your solution, to fix the Widget problem by moving the Apps to system/app. And voila - it works. Whatsapp and Threema
are starting after reboot and stay online all the time. Even after several hours.
But: Are Apps moved to system/app still getting updates via the Play Store?!? I could not find out.
Thanks but...
Thanks for your hint, this could be a solution for this annoying bug. But, i got some questions to do so:
- do i need root? F. e., the system/app is read only, so i think i have to root and change the settings?
- direct moving doesn't work because play store apps are not stored as apk-files, so i have to get an apk-file to move from /download to system/app?
Thanks for your reply, Thomas
So, i've had the BLA - L29 C436 (mate 10 pro EU) for a couple of days and these are my good views and bad views on it :
Cons :
- had issues with a message form android system that i can't away . a) even if i go into the notification -> system apps -> Android system and take all the notifications to off. b) when you normally tap "done" it should go away, which it doesn't . This for apps that normally "display over other apps" like blue light filters.
- had issues with wifi. Some times it works well (full download speed) sometimes it doesn't. Especially on spotify wen normally my home speed is at 7megs/second, there it performers at 200kb/sec.
- had issues also with "full screen apps". On my Note8, i normally don't have issues, but here... it bugs.
- seems like the Kirin 970 (AI?) doesn't want to work well with certain apps, as they seems really slow. Maybe it needs more time to know my habits, but sometimes i really have the impression of big lags
- Overall the UI seems and bit buggy... I hope they come out with an update soon
- No push on native email app with a google account (????!!!).
- Some issues with TeslaUnread (Nova launcher plugin) numeris badges that flick on the main home screen, and more precisely with the email app.
- They advertised the "dynamic lockscreen wallpaper" that isn't yet available, Apparently it's coming with an update / or has already been released for C636.
- They still didn't understand to separate notifications and ringtone volume. The two are still working in pair
Pros
- Very good cellular reception. Apparently it has a very high SAR so that might be the reason.
- Camera isn't bad at all - but maybe not worth the Note 8 with Camera mod. Still testing it.
- Battery life (but the phone is still young)
Any ideas how to get that annoying "system" notifications away?
update 21/11 : Called Huawei today, they said these issues are not normal, so brought it back to the shop got a new one... i'll be testing in the future days to see if i get the same issues.

If you are talking about the "xxxxx app is running in background" that is something introduced in Oreo and has nothing to do with EMUI

No my issue is more about the overlay.
Anyhow,
had too many issues with it at the moment. Even the BT in my car today got cut when i got a message while listening to some music... and then never reconnected right away.
I'm putting it in quarantine until a firmware will come out and fix these wifi, overlay, bt, fullscreen issues i have.
sweet dreams M10pro (firmware 115 on C436)
Sadly android Oreo is still new. A lot of other handsets are still in beta. Huawei was brave to release it with Oreo straight away but they couldn't really release it with Nougat or there would be complaints. Have faith and patience in the firmware updates but don't lose faith in the hardware. It's a seriously impressive bit of kit.
Hi, I have ALP-L29 8.0.0.115(C636) in Czech republic (from Wonda mobile)
Issues:
1) "Home button" always switch back to default launcher!! Please help! How to allow different launcher?
- It makes the phone unusable for me. :crying:
2) No updates found (- why? What about 119?)
3) It is not possible to configure virtual buttons / commands. <- EMUI feature?
- I miss: "Open menu" function and "Switch to the last app"
4) I do not want to use Lock screen! (magazine pictures is the default, impossible to disable it) <- EMUI feature?
Do you have any advice?

Go to apps. Default apps. And select your launcher.
I'm pretty sure there's an option somewhere to disable magazine picture. I came across it yesterday

1. Settings - Apps - Settings - default apps setting - Launcher
2. Maybe it haven't been pushed yet. Patience is a virtuo.
3. It is possible to configure buttons
Settings - Smart assistants - System navigation - Settings
Open menu disappeared from android many versions ago, I belive in Ginger Bread. It was replaced with 3 dots in GUI.
Switch to last app is performed by double tapping recent apps (square button)
4. What do you mean you don't want to use Lock Screen?
If you have pin, pattern or finger print unlock you must have a lock screen. If you disable all security then when you open the phone it will go straight to your home screen.
Settings - Screen lock & password - Password

Aww man! Was hoping for a moment there we could install pro onto non pro and vice versa. Lol.
Anyway what was your original firmware number?
Your pro dual sim?
You noticed better battery on 120 from your original firmware?
This was done via FunkyHuawei of course right?

Hi, thanks for your help
1) Yes, I was blind, sorry! - OK :good:
2) So 636 for europe is OK?
3) (I have "Open menu" in 7.1.2.) In some apps are not other way to open menu directly. :/
"Switch to last app is performed by double tapping recent apps (square button)"
- Yes, thanks! But this is not supported (?) by using fingerprint scanner (only default: tap=back, hold=home, swipe=recently)
4) I mean simply not use lock screen, passwords, pattern , etc. So that the last application or screen is always displayed when the display is turned on.

- Yes, thanks! But this is not supported (?) by using fingerprint scanner (only default: tap=back, hold=home, swipe=recently)
4) I mean simply not use lock screen, passwords, pattern , etc. So that the last application or screen is always displayed when the display is turned on.

Huh... wrong thread maybe?
I have a bug, with gmail, i changed the option so i can delete emails directly from the notifications. But it doesn't work well, sometime i can touch "delete" and it works, but most of the time nothing happens. The "respond" works well. Only happens with gmail.
Was on BL09 with the issue, changed to BL29 to debloat phone and issue still here.

So, i've had the BLA - L20 C436 (mate 10 pro EU) for a couple of days and these are my good views and bad views on it :
Cons :
- had issues with a message form android system that i can't away . a) even if i go into the notification -> system apps -> Android system and take all the notifications to off. b) when you normally tap "done" it should go away, which it doesn't . This for apps that normally "display over other apps" like blue light filters.
- had issues with wifi. Some times it works well (full download speed) sometimes it doesn't. Especially on spotify wen normally my home speed is at 7megs/second, there it performers at 200kb/sec.
- had issues also with "full screen apps". On my Note8, i normally don't have issues, but here... it bugs.
- seems like the Kirin 970 (AI?) doesn't want to work well with certain apps, as they seems really slow. Maybe it needs more time to know my habits, but sometimes i really have the impression of big lags
- Overall the UI seems and bit buggy... I hope they come out with an update soon
- No push on native email app with a google account (????!!!).
- Some issues with TeslaUnread (Nova launcher plugin) numeris badges that flick on the main home screen, and more precisely with the email app.
- They advertised the "dynamic lockscreen wallpaper" that isn't yet available, Apparently it's coming with an update / or has already been released for C636.
- They still didn't understand to separate notifications and ringtone volume. The two are still working in pair
Pros
- Very good cellular reception. Apparently it has a very high SAR so that might be the reason.
- Camera isn't bad at all - but maybe not worth the Note 8 with Camera mod. Still testing it.
- Battery life (but the phone is still young)
Any ideas how to get that annoying "system" notifications away?

ALSO what's kernel date?
I've got the standard Mate 10 and I haven't got any of the issues you described
FYI , my previous M10 Pro L29 - C432 had issues i would said dead on arrival style..
Huawei told me to bring it back, and thats what i did, and got a new ones.
Now things are working perfectly (except the overlay message i can't get rid of).
I just updated my firmware to 125 via FunkyHuawei (very easy to do if you follow the instructions (thumbs up to @duraaraa )
As per your questions :

Kernel today is 4.4.23+
lawtq said:
Aww man! Was hoping for a moment there we could install pro onto non pro and vice versa. Lol.
Anyway what was your original firmware number?
Your pro dual sim?
You noticed better battery on 120 from your original firmware?
This was done via FunkyHuawei of course right?
Thanks

I couldn't test the 120, as it was on the old ALP-L29 which was defective. But 125 seems stable and working well. I will only be able to tell you about battery in 3-4 days once i got some cycles in.
Update to firmware 125, still got the gmail notification bug. I test several launcher, seems a EMUI related bug cause i can delete the mail from notif with Nova launcher.
Hello,
I have been using the LG V30 for 2 weeks and I am pretty happy with it. The only thing that bothers me are the Icons of already installed apps (like WhatsApp) and GApps. Even if i choose the original shape, these ones stay the same rounded square Icons. I guess that is nothing new and expected behaviour.
This is why I have googled around for the last two hours in order to find answers on how to change these icons.
The only answers I have found were
a) custom icon pack with other launcher
b) use ThemeX and edit specific icons
c) root
d) use a theme
Unfortunately c) is not an option because i do not want to root. b) is off the table as well because that does not work with V30. And since i really love the double tap feature and i cannot stand the solution of nova launcher and other launchers, a) does not fit my needs either.
So I guess the only option for me would be d), wouldn't it? However, all the themes I tried either do not change icons or they change them too much (like all the 'top' themes in LG Smartworld).
This leads to this post and my question: Is there something I did not try yet? If not, is there a theme in Google Play that only changes specific icons (LG Apps, GApps) and no too much else?
Sorry if this is kind of a 'repost' or if this specific question has already been answered. I know this topic was discussed wildely in the Internet and here but i could not find a thread that was as specific as mine.
Thank you very much and best regards,
Brothize

Please clarify why you don't want Nova launcher, as it seems to meet exactly what you want? Nova launcher retains double tap unless you are talking about something else. Mentioned in almost every Nova article: https://beebom.com/cool-nova-launcher-tricks/
I do not use the double tap feature, but when I've tried it with Nova, it's there. For me, the back fingerprint sensor button is much easier to tap for on/off than trying to hold the phone and do a double tap on some open space on the screen (I have lot of icons).
Yes, I have rooted stock firmware and am running Nova launcher with custom pack icons. But my wife and mother and several friends just have Nova launcher with custom pack icons and are NOT rooted.

Thank you for your answer.
I use the the double tap mainly for locking (feels nicer than pressing the button on the back) and sometimes for unlocking in order to check notifications (when phone is on a table, especially at work).
Concerning Nova launcher: I use the floating bar and the screen does not really turn off as in yes, it turns dark, but the floating bar is still visible. Not even after waiting 30-180 seconds. I even tried to play with the settings. Unfortunately the floating bar was still showing. Sorry, I should have clarified why it was not working for me properly!
Are you using the floating bar and it works? Which would mean something is off with my settings I guess.

I believe Novas workaround for non rooted devices is to turn the screen black until your display times out. You may have your timeout set high. The other workaround is to use device administrator but that makes you have to enter your pin/password when you turn your phone on again. I also don't like either method so before I was rooted, I just relied on the double tap on status bar to turn the screen off
Nova launcher prime have gestures and you can made double tap to lock the screen.

I forgot and that method. Yeah, that locks instantly even with Nova.
