Hi guys,
I am wondering if anyone knows how to change a dock shortcut back to a plus sign.
I clicked on the plus sign to create a shortcut to an app but wanted to revert back to nothing being there (just the 'plus' sign to add a shortcut). But the only thing I found was 'X Blank' which leaves a blank space now. It just looks weird with a space next to all of the plus signs.
Sorry if this is a noob question, but haven't been able to fine the answer. If anyone could help me that would be great. I'm using Froyobread v020.
Yeah annoying isnt it, LOL?
I ended up resetting to default settings :]
Hello,
I've seen this question asked a few times in other threads, however no one has answered it specifically and I'm new so I can't post to those threads.
I have 2 Nabi2's that are both rooted and have gapps installed and are working fine. In order to install gapps, the pre-installed Wings application had to be removed. However, the icon still remains on the home screen in Nabi mode and I can't figure out how to get rid of it. When it is selected you just get a message about the application not being installed. Anyone know of a way to remove this?
Also, on one of the tablets for some reason the home screen icon for the gallery stopped working. I get the same message about the application not being installed. The gallery is, however, installed and works fine. I was able to put a new icon for the gallery on the home screen as a work around, however the inoperable one remains and I am unable to remove it. I'm assuming whatever process is needed to remove the Wings icon I can also use for this icon, I just have no clue what has to be done to remove it.
Thanks in advance for the help!
Hey everyone!
So I'm running Android 5.0 on my Nexus 5 and I ran into an issue other people had in which after enabling 'Invert Colors', the system creates a quick setting within the notification tray that drops down. I then proceeded to follow a fix I found on Reddit in which I connected my phone to my PC through USB and used the terminal with ADB to input a code which reset the systemui, it seems.
The fix worked and removed the Invert Colors quick setting... but now my Google Now page that I swipe left to has a checkered box over where there should be a nature setting. When I tap it, Google does a search for 'test', which is kinda strange. Any idea what this is or how I can fix it? Do I need to reset my phone? I'm not entirely opposed to that option.
I can be kinda OCD about the way my desktop looks on my phone so this glitch is really bothering me! I attached a screenshot of it below.
Thanks for your help in advance!
Hi guys, I just got a le max pro (x910) but there is no forum for it. Still, I believe it is running the same OS and EUI as Le max 2 (6.0.1 and EUI 5.6.x)
To my question: I hate lock screens so I disable them. If the fingerprint reader were better I'd seriously consider using it to unlock the phone, but it isn't.
My problem now is the "second" lock screen on this phone. Not sure if this is an andorid thing or an EUI thing, since I haven't used android 6.0+ before.
Essentially, I need my home screen to appears when I click the power button. Is that possible? Currently, the "lock screen" that appears after hitting power is a screen with time and camera icon. I don't need this. Can it be disabled SOMEHOW?
Thanks
Hello!
You can do exactly what you want with Lockscreen Disabler in Xposed. It will disable the lockscreen and when you press the power button, the home screen is shown.
As you may know already, you must have a custom recovery, be rooted and have Xposed installed. Then download the module and enjoy

Is this new in Android 6 or an issue with EUI? On my Sony Z ultra with android 5.1.1 disabling the lock screen is right there in the options.
I'm not sure whatever the problem might be. If you said that you need somehow to disable the lockscreen because you can't, I took it for good and I found a solution for you
I've tried to remove it without Xposed and looks like in Settings you don't have this option. Keep in mind that different OEM's do have various options of customization that might not be common.
Hello everyone, I´m new to this, but I just got an LE S3 last week at a really good price! (take into consideration that I live in Mexico) and found the same problem mentioned here, after lots of researching the web and tinkering with setting, antivirus and lock screen apps on play store and factory resetting phone, I got rid of the ``second lock screen´´ wich is very annoying to me, and not to mention all the ads that popped up every time I unlocked the phone, only for it to come back as soon as I connected my phone to charge it! Very Frustating!
And then I noticed, since I had changed the home and lock screen wallpapers to pictures of my family, I noticed three little white dots on the upper left corner of the screen, almost imperceptible, just like the ones on the web browser to deploy a menu!! I hitted it and a warning came up `` do you want to disable Locker?´´ I hitted Disable and that did it! Now I´m able to just go to my home screen with the Finger Print unlock or Pattern unlock.
It was hard to notice the three little dots since I had not changed my wallpapers, I was using the factory galaxy/nebula look alike wallpapers, which are very cool but have scattered white dots all over and tricked my perception of the Locker Icon.
Hopefully this can help some of you to turn off that annoying extra screen.
Cheers!!
Please help ... My widgets stop updating after deep sleep {if my phone screen is of for about an hour}
I have added the widget app in ignore battery optimization and enabled auto start and run in background in battery optimization .. still the widget stops updating ..
Any help is appreciated
there is a reason the battery is so good. the phone is basically shutting down when idle. You need to go in tot the settings and exclude the app/widget from the battery optimisations.
as i stated before , i did remove it from the battery optimizations but still the widget stops working after sometime

Sorry, there must be an associated process that is sleeping. Have you tired removing all battery optimization for a while just to check? Might be worth emailing the Dev. They may know what is happening.
ill try that ,,, thanks for the idea , ill report back .
i disabled all battery optimizations , still the widget stops updating after some time , the strange thing is that the widget has manual refresh button , but after some time that button also disappears check the picture below

I tried that app for myself. Doesn't update automatically for me as well. However other widgets that auto updates frequently works fine. So it should be a fix to be done by the app developer for this specific app.

What firmware are you running on the phone?
The latest from huawei 8.0.0.115
I have another problem .. some times when i switch on the screen everything changes to very small even the navigation bar icons .. its like the resolution changes and everything will be small .. ill.post a screenshot when it happens again .. a workaroung i go to screen resolution and change from hd to fhd then back to hd and the icons and text comes back to normal size
I have the widget problem as well (on .115, C636). I'll report back if I find a solution.
I also have the widget problem on my ALP-L29 ".115 (c636)" and it's really bugging me!
Whichever phone I use, I set up the BBC News and BBC Sport pages as two full screen widgets to the left of my home screen. They're great apps/widgets which means everything I need to know is one or two swipes away.
After sleep, neither will refresh anymore. The sport widget actually has a manual refresh button but now the icon is just constantly spinning as if it's trying to constantly refresh.
Any help at all would be much appreciated.
These widgets were fine on my Mate 9.
115 C636. I have calender agenda widget which does not update automatically like it used to.
Same here.
Weather widget and News widget are working fine, BUT i tried 5 different calendar widgets from store and none of them did work (no refresh).
BLA-L29 8.0.0.115 (C432).
Did not have any problems on my former Mate 9.
Must be an Oreo thing. I contacted the developer of my calendar widget so let's hope he can fix it.
I am afraid to say that, but i contacted the developer of my widget also and he answered, that the widget is working fine with Oreo (Emulator).
I think it could be a problem with EMUI 8. Not sure, but i think at the beginning of the Mate 9 there were similar problems, that some notifications didnt work.
That was fixed with an update from Huawei.
Bad news so far folks, have updated to ".119 (c636)" via Funky Huawei and still no fix for both the widget problem and the issue of not being able to perform some actions from the notification shade (like delete Gmail emails).
Really hope this is fixed with next update or I may be tempted to get rid. Unacceptable for a 2017, Oreo phone!

By the way, I tried the same widgets with Nova Launcher and got the same problems. So it's something in Emui 8 or Huawei's version of Oreo that's causing the issues, not the stock launcher.
@Hymastar
Did you inform Huawei about this bug?
My developer of my troublesome widget says it works fine too. He thinks it must be EMUI killing the task in the background and not allowing it to run properly.
Hi, had a breakthrough of sorts!
I switched back to the standard/stock launcher and tried the option with no app drawer i.e. default setting.
Took me a while to organise all my apps into Huawei's fiddly little folders (can't stand icons everywhere!) BUT the widgets are working fine!
Just to clarify, the widgets in question are from the BBC News and Sport apps which I always use as full page screens to the left of my home page.
So, I'll stick with the non-app drawer launcher for now, but it doesn't really solve the problem as I much prefer having an app drawer... @Hudrator I wouldn't know how to go about contacting Huawei?
Forget the above post, after 12hrs or so (maybe a deep sleep) the widgets are once again failing to update regardless of home screen style.
Thought I had found a temporary fix...
