Hi all!
I want to buy a Chinese Mate 10 non-pro (the one with 6gb ram/128gb internal). I found this one, on Wonda mobile (https://www.wondamobile.com/huawei-...-unlocked.html#product_tabs_additional_tabbed), where rebranding is included in the price, and they claim that they uninstall all the Chinese apps and bloatware, and put Google Play apps on it (they put L29-C636*ROM on it, so the model is now identified as L29) My question is about search engine and search predictions, because I've read on a few places here on xda, that the C636 International rom has only Hiboard installed, and no Google, so that when I scroll to the far left of home screens, I get Hiboard, and chinese text predictions/suggestions when searching for stuff.
Can anybody confirm on this? Has anybody bought this specific model of non-pro Mate 10 and dealt with this problem? And if so, is there any way to deal with this problem that DOES NOT include rebranding?
Thanks in advance!
I can't confirm this for AL00, but I rebranded my Pro from C432 to C636 and Huawei Home has Hiboard at the left-most screen.
Google is installed too, but it only shows Hiboard there.

I've got a stock ALP-L29 and can confirm that swipe left on stock launcher only gives option for HiBoard. I use the rootless Pixel Launcher which brings up Google Now with swipe left.
Now on alp l29 131c636 swipe left hiboard
but swipe up from bottom Google.

Thanks for that suggestion. I used Lawnchair but this is much better
Thank you all for help. So far I know I can disable Hiboard, and, if I can use Google by swiping up as suggested by @wooley4766, that might be just fine for me.
Although I was planning to use swipe up action to bring up app drawer, but I guess I'll make do. This hardly is a deal breaker.
Does having Hiboard mean having Chinese suggestion when googleing or searching generally?

Hi!
I'm really hoping someone is going to see this, because I know it is an old thread and people have moved on.
So I finally got my hands on a non-pro Mate 10, the CN00 version rebranded fo ALP L29. The phone is mostly debloated and so far I am really happy with it.
I am bound to either use or disable the HiBoard on the far left home screen, but I want to give it a chance. So far I can only see the weather (sometimes), number of steps and my phone's uptime. How can I adjust it to receive some interesting news, or any content whatsoever? I don't see such options anywhere.
Thanks

How did you do that? I have ALP-L29 8.0.0.143 (C636), pixel launcher rootless installed and it doesn't seem to have a leftmost screen with the Google feed.

I have since switched to Nova since the rootless pixel launcher would only bring up the Google feed on and off. Sometimes I would have to change to the default launcher and change back before the Google feed showed up. Not sure what changed in that launcher with the recent updates but it was just getting annoying.
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 all, since the last two firmware upgrades (I am now on 9.1.0.310), it appears several features of the camera have been moved or removed altogether: for instance, there is no Phi grid or Fibonacci grid anymore (only the common assistive grid), the favorites pictures selection disappeared and is back again (I had to reselect all my favorites); the 'good food' mode has disappeared etc.
Anyone experiencing the same?
I hope Huawei is not downplaying the Mate 20 Pro for the coming Mate 30 Pro's sake.
Huawei use some kind of analytics in their apps and probably has removed several "non-popular" or rarely used options.
Still they should not have removed
Hi there
Some days ago I have sadly changed my HTC One M9 Plus after 3 and half years of service, the last of a 10 years experience with HTC from the HD2...what a sad situation about the brand.
Anyway I have bought a Samsung S9 Plus which seems not bad at all but I have some questions about it:
1) I have seen that is it possible to change the resoution of the screen, currently I'm on 2220*1080 but I could go for 2960*1440, anyway some widget already have small text, I have tried the upper resolution and a lot of things (icons etc) doesn't seems define enough to support it. What do you suggest?
2) I miss some HTC hystorc widget like the weather flip-clock and the contact widget for making quick call, do you know if there is a chance to install them on the samsung?
3) Is that possible to change the disposition of the system lower key (home, back and multitasking) ?
4) Is that possible to wake up the phone from the always on with a double tap?
5) Is that possible to have a wallpaper for the home and a different wallpaper for the all apps menu?
Welcome over from HTC. I too was a fan of their products until the last 4 years.
1. Yes, Settings -> Display -> Screen Resolution -> Select WQHD+ although will use more battery.
2. Download Sense Flip or Flipv2 from marketplace.
3. Yes, Settings -> Display -> Navigation Bar on the bottom -> Select your preferred order.
4. Not entirely sure if it's possible.
5. Not entirely sure. I prefer using a different launcher like Nova Launcher and use it to mimic Google as much as possible.
Hi there!
Thanks you very much for your answears!
I have tried the 2 widget that emulates the HTC flip clock but I don't I guess it's not the same thing as the original, also the have a low resolution for this phone.
I have also searched a contact widget to add photo of favorites contacts for quick calls, I have found some but they all are too much small for the resolution of the S9+

Use edge panel for favorite contacts with their photos, otherwise you have stock contacts widget which works just fine
Ok edge panel is nice otherwise the contact widget add too much small photo of your contact and also also you need to manually add one by one, you cannot have a table
Hi there － I have recently purchased the MiPad5pro and have a few questions about the tablet and MiUi in general as this is my first Xiaomi device. I'm running the latest available version for MiUi for the pad5pro in China.
1. Has anyone been able to get Novalauncher to work? I get an error saying only those launchers verified by Xiaomi are allowed. Is that a miui issue or a miui for pad issue? Any other launchers recommended? I use Oneplus for my phone and have it set up with novalauncher that allows me to have the google shelf when swiping to the left from the home screen. I'd love to have that feature on my mipad.
2. is there a way to natively translate text on the screen? For eg: ColorOs has a built in screen translater that allows you to translate any part of the screen or the entire screen. Anything similar available for miui natively？or any apps that you'd recommend that aren't loaded with ads?
3. without root, is there a way to remove miAI and make Google assistant the default assistant app and get it to work in all the apps?for example, the miui clock app has a mic option for assistant but it triggers miai even though I have set Google assistant as my default ai app. Also, every time the tab is restarted, it defaults to miai as the default ai app instead of the previously set Google assistant.
Happy to answer any questions anyone might have if they are looking at buying this tablet.
Yes I am on the same CN stock ROM (do we have any other choice atm?). I am hating MIUI every minute of the day...
1. You can choose Nova as your default launcher. But you have to do so from Nova, not MIUI settings.
2. Sorry I don't know... I gather you're talking about an app that reads a text off a picture? You tried the stock Gallary app (the purple one)? If you didn't find the function in the app, then maybe it's not possible without a 3rd party app?
3. My pad is rooted, but I've tried what you asked... It looks like your choice of the detault assistant app (I tried google) stays after reboot. I set the detault through 'default app' on settings.
I hope we will be out of this misery soon. MIUI (Chinese version) is a torture.

Thanks. I don't hate the MiUi, it serves my purposes, just hoping to get a few of these issues fixed.
Was able to get Nova sorted like you mentioned, but Nova didn't work too well as it doesn't fully move to landscape mode.
#2 is the one I need most, so hopefully if someone else has an app they can recommend. It is not just about a picture, but about text in any app. Hoping for a 3rd party app that can be used that doesn't have a bunch of ads every time you use it.
I removed MiAi using this method along with some other Chinese language apps
It seems safe and you can re install or re enable the apps of you have any problems.

I have the solution to 3.
Without root, it's just a matter of getting the permissions correct.
Xiaomi has a privacy setting in the Google permissions that grants the permissions without confirming with google. That's why you can't get the default assistant to stick.
This will fix it. Give google always allow on device info inside the Google app, not assistant app.
Enjoy.
