Is Huawei supposed to release Android Pie with EMUI 9 or 8.2.0 ? Has anyone seen/used EMUI 8.2 or 9 and can comment on any changes there?
Thx
Beta test started some days ago in China. Emui 9.0+Android P
Still don't know anything about the changelog since the beta version hasn't been released yet.
Running beta no particular difference in emui.

Yes.
There is both an option to have a single multifunction button, or no buttons at all.
Only issue is that no button gestures only works with EMUI launcher. Some functions work in other launchers, but go to home screen doesn't unless you use their launcher.

No buttons does not work properly for me in Poco Launcher. Whenever I use the gesture for home screen it goes to recent apps. Same issue as all other launchers. Except EMUI launcher.

Worse than Oreo
How is the camera in android pie?
The camera looks like the one that launched with p20. But it has the old night shot mode, sometimes it wants to take pictures for up to 30 seconds, what makes it impossible to do it hand-held.
It has the 940fps slow-mo from the p20pro, with the same weird looking artifacts (I guess a lot of frames are based on interpolation).
Portraits are still horrible and obviously optimized for female asian needs (brightened face, soft skin, general lack of sharpness). Still way behind of the GoogleCam Port.
There is also the 4d autofocus from p20. Haven't tested it yet, but since the video quality was mediocre even on p20, the hopes are low.
All in all it is a nice update and catches up with the p20 series. But it's not up to date (missing hdr pro option for slfront facing camera from mate 20 lite, hand-held night mode...), but still fails on making use of the full potential of this hardware.
Edit: Forgot to mention a positiv thing: automode now switches to portrait mode as soon as it detects a face - but could be a bit faster.

Hi is it possible to use nova launcher on the mate 10 pro? Also is it possible to use google stock apps for dialler, messaging and photos? Basically replace Huawei apps with google apps?
Yes it is! I am doing just that on the Mate 10 (non-pro) so I am sure it will work the same for the pro version.
Settings -> Apps & notifications -> Default apps
I had read that there were some issues running Nova over the EMUI. I'm really tempted to get this phone but with the Nova Android experience I am afraid. Also hoping for a slight price drop
Not sure what you read...or where...but I have used Nova on this (and all my phones) for years and there are no issues for me???
Nova can crash when you're trying to add a emui widget to it. I had to replace the stock clock widget with a 3rd party widget because of that...

Not exactly. Luncher Nova crashes and system suggests uninstall it.
Some of you are saying it crashes and others are saying emui works fine. Now whicb is correct
I use Nova everyday with no issue and have been for three weeks on the Mate 10 pro. I am not sure about the EUMI widgets causing issues because I don't use them on Nova. My friend has an honor 8 and runs Nova everyday for a year with no major issues. Sometimes if nova updates you may have to reset it as your default launcher. I would say you shouldn't have any major issues with Nova but your mileage may vary.
Well, since the EUMI widgets are causing the crashes then I would lay the blame directly on EUMI. Nova works great on all phones so....YMMV. I don't use widgets at all. My Mate 10 runs great without issue using Nova Prime as the launcher.
Nova works fine on the Mate 10 Pro as long as you don't use the stock EMUI widgets. If concerned about widgets and not bothered about paying then get KWLP or/and KWGT - you can get some good screens and widgets for free if you look around

I heard that the Mate 10 pro crashes running other launchers. Causes the device to restart and resets to default launcher. I want to get the next Hauwei P series but worried about EMUI causing unwanted problems. I would like to use Nov launcher but won't put up.with the bugs that come with it. Not if I'm paying a premium price for a flagship handset

Read posts, its Huawei stock widgets causing problems and happens with all other launchers. Don't use Huawei widgets and you be fine. The problem is not Nova Launcher, it is Huawei widgets.

Another problem is that EMUI running on the Mate 10 pro has notification problems. You don't receive notifications most of the time. Also app crashes are frequent on this device. This is really disappointing as it is a beautiful device. I want to upgrade to the new P20 pro but worried about software problems

Same, been using the Mate 10 Pro for a month with nova launcher. Never had a single crash or reboot.
Never had issues with notifications, messages or calls. No complaints here.

I was speaking about using Nova Launcher on mate 10 (non-pro) without issue. I use the default dialer now with a dark theme, but for a while I was using the Asus ZenUI Dialer and Contacts app which worked just fine for me. I do not use widgets at all.

Thanks, I am using the same dialer, but, I want the google's... Don't know why I can not use it, maybe an Emui limitation.
Hi,
i tried the new gesture navigation on EMUI9. It works but the return to home gesture go briefly to task manager before showing home.

Tried action launcher or nova without success

Yeah i avoided that by not using gesture. Its really a joke how it works

Fluid NG is the answer.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid&hl=en
works great with any launcher (I tested with Nova and Action Launcher 5), and its free.
Pro version is not expensive if you need to tweak the setting.

Yeah there are load of 3rd party apps out there but i would preffer to not rely on those bit instead huawei to put their ****s together and not release official rom with the same exactly bugs they had on beta. This specific bug i reported it as a beta tester.

Thank god its android. We can just switch to other solution, or stay with the default one. Having options is good.
Navigation gestures app from xda is pretty nice.
Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xda.nobar
Works after adb commands pretty well. But yeah Huawei should just fix their ****. Sometimes I don't know why they beta test their firmware. It seems that they don't fix any things from the beta firmware.
I have disabled the stock launcher since I installed Nova Launcher for my Huawei Mate 20 Pro. After updating to 9.0.0.183, the animations seem to be working fine already.
Anybody else have the same experience?

I just disabled the Launcher. It's working fine now after updating to 9.0.0.183
The only thing that's annoying me now is the front facing camera's stubborn beauty mode that cannot be disabled.
I have loaded the update 182 (yes 182 not 183) from funky Huawei about two weeks ago and that has fixed the one minor issue I've had with Nova Launcher.
It has been working perfectly fine since then.
My only issue now is that the Nova Launcher support has sent me an angry reply to my request because I own a Mate 20 Pro.
Those guys are pretty angry because of the accusations of Huawei intentionally sabotaging them.

I use nova launcher.
you dont understand... can you install newest pixel or lawnchair launcher and set it as default, and give all permissions (and since you disabled the launcher you have to use the navkeys right? ) then reboot.... and look if the new pie gesture ui kicks in.... the recent overview and pill navbar.
get the. apk from xda or apk mirror
because the launcher is responsible for the navigation gestures in android P.
realy hate the emui gestures and wish to use stock android P gestures
this will take max 15min. of your time but help me forever.
thanks in advance

I hope this is the case for me. I stopped using Nova because the gesture is just so stuttery and buggy when using it.

Really? So when swiping up to go to home screen it doesn't show the recent apps for a split second and then go home? It's definitely a bug others have experienced when using gesture nav on emui.

No it works like stock launcher
The gesture navigation works ALMOST perfectly with nova launcher. This is the best I could ask for. But just let me point out some scenarios that it stutters a little bit.
1. The animation when close an app is gone. You can't see the app fading into its position on the home page.
2. The gestures are a bit more sensitive on nova than stock EMUI. For example, swipe up and hold for recent apps. On EMUI launcher, it is about 0.5 seconds. However on nova, it is more like 0.3. Thus I often hold for too long and end up on recent apps instead of home page.
3. Under some special circumstances, the background picture for recent apps screen is the previous app you used. It looks extremely weird. I didn't manage to get a SS of it. Will upload once it happens again.
Having said all of that. I feel this 183 update improved the gestures navigation by a huge leap! Just need time to get use to it.

This was what I was talking about. The recent apps screen bug. But it is not a deal breaker to stop using nova.

I had to go home again to get it to start working. I had to manually perform the gesture to go to home (I have gesture UI rather than the traditional 3 button interface).
Been told that MIUI Launcher should have an App Drawer option. Can't see where to enable it? Anyone?
I'm surprised how good MIUI Launcher is. I really don't want to have to go back to Nova because of this daft missing feature.

The newest release version of MIUI launcher has the app drawer built in. It was released on April 18. Again, this is the release version, not a beta. I have installed it on my 9S (9 Pro) and it works perfect. Download the APK here.

You don't even need to do that if you look at my second post. You can enable it on the stock one using that trick.
I have to say, MIUI Launcher has come a long way since the Redmi Note LTE.....

My usual answer to this would be no, because I'm fairly pragmatic about these things.... but I've decided to take a punt because Google Discover seems really sticky on my phone and I don't know why. Nova Launcher with Google Companion is fine. Very smooth, buttery. System Launcher, it's sticky and not very nice to use. Let's chance it.
And no... your update doesn't seem to resolve it. The Google app works fine, Nova Launcher + Companion is fine... MIUI Launcher, it is very sticky
Wow..... I take it alll back. Nothing to do with MIUI Launcher. I went into the Help section of the Google Feed (within MIUI) and clicked open in Play Store. I'm part of the BETA testers and an update was put out yesterday. I updated..... buttery smooth now. Perhaps a bad release by Google?
All of a sudden, I'm very content.... Thanks though, the updated Launcher is a little better, but not sure it's exactly notably better.

I have the same Problem with Google Discover under MIUI 11.0.3.0 it's very laggy, I think it has to be optimized yet by xiaomi or by google itself to work properly.
Edit: still lagging for me with recent google beta app, persists with the new laucher, too.
