gsmarena's battery test shows amazing battery life on the p30 pro and they attributed it to the better stand by drain compared to the mate 20 pro, if that is due to optimizations in emui 9.1 then i definetly want it as soon as possible , if not then i dont think it matters much , i cant see any real improvements from what i have seen in p30 pro videos

Nope you're wrong. Emui 9.1 has much smoother gestures animation, espicially the home gesture. Emui 9.1 enabels 3d party apps to show its notifications on aod. New icon pack and it's all the same form now. Optimizatiin is also a big thing on Emui 9.1 for sure.

And it has the new night mode with auto 6sec not 4 to get brighter and much details photos

Also , EMUI 9.1 comes with a "Newer file system" which improves the Read/Write times and thereby improving the overall fluidity system-wide. Hopefully it'll be released soon for the Mate 20 Pro.

cant chance file systems without wiping

I saw that Nova 3i already got 9.0.1

I've seen that as well on an article, hope they will announce it on our mate 20 Pro, gesture are not that great on EMUI 9.0. I tried fluid gesture (and remove nav bar with ADB) but it is a bit buggy especially when you unlock the phone it glitch with nav bar that appears and disappear...
Wait and see really looking forward to get the update.

I hope it will be possible. Apple did it without needing a wipe a couple of years ago on iOS. So maybe Huawei can do it too. Fingers crossed.

So one question the camera improvements in the p30 pro are they software related or hardware? I know that we won't get 50 times zoom haha but what about the rest?

I can't wait till I get the EMUI 9.1 update on my Mate 20 Pro as it will have AOD display for third party applications

Probably the stock launcher. The first Pixel introduced swipe up to enter the app drawer instead of a dedicated app button that takes up the space of an app icon and many other Android launchers quickly incorporated that feature.

Hiding Apps via EMUI

Coming from a Nexus 6p with Nova Launcher, I've found it frustrating to use EMUI, especially the inability to hide apps - mainly the bloatware that are installed.
Is therea any way to have a folder for "junk"?
I've searched and found these:

Download emui tweaker on playstore and you will be able to hide app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teammt.gmanrainy.emuitweaker
Once option activated with emui tweaker you have to pinch screen with you finger to access to hide menu app
Thanks sonydesouza I'll try it out

I thought a "zoom out" was the inverse method to pinch in,which brings up your settings to the EMUI page (Wallpaper, Widgets, transitions, settings etc)?
When I do the opposite zoome out, nothing happens - am I making a school boy error here?

Yes it's the inverse at pinch (sorry for my bad English)
Did you reboot the phone?
Because it works for sure with this app.
It was a feature of precedent emui but it still works on emui 8.
It's just desactivated by default on emui 8 and this app activate it again
You have to do the exact opposite with your finger that which brings settings of emui page

Just French with a Spanish nickname seen on a "B TV show" ?
See screenshot below

Well i have had that screenshot, restarted my phone as suggested but then I can't make it work!
So I have the screen like this, hit reboot, then can't access the hidden menu

Very strange did you spread your two fingers on screen at the same time?

I also have a Mate 10. This works for me, but only in "Standard" not "Drawer" style homescreen. I have not found a way to hide apps in the drawer using stock launcher.
Same here with Honor 9 and emiui 8, zoom out-->home settings, zoom in--->nothing :/
I can confirm that the hidden apps folder works on EMUI 8.1 on P20 Pro but only in Standard homescreen mode, but not in Drawer mode.

knock gestures

Does the p20 lite support knock gestures and letters writing gestures ( like writing C on screen to open the camera) ??

Any way to add those gestures ? App or something

I think it will be easy find this features on the third-party apps on the google play.
Battery is not the best quality of P20 lite be prepared for extra drain.
Unfortunately
So Mate 10 lite will be a better choice then. What do you think ?

I tested both and I prefer P20 lite
If i'm not mistaken, the p10 lite had those features. Its a pity that those features are missing here. Also interested in knowing is there PrivateSpace on this device?

Help! Flashlight icon disappeared

My Flashlight icon disappeared just like if I uninstalled the app.
I can still use it from the Lock Screen or the Notification Panel, but the icon is gone.
Tried to find the STOCK apk but all seem to be alternatives or different apps with functions I don't need neither will use.
Where can I find the STOCK Flashlight app?
Thanks in advance.
All Updates to System Apps in EMUI 9.1
UPDATE 13: FLASHLIGHT

Have you seen any performance, battery life and camera improvements? Also, has the lockscreen UI been updated?
Battery life is definitely better
Camera has some new features, like HiVision that is also shown on the lock-screen
You can reed this [all-updates-to-system-apps-in-emui-9-1 at Android Central
Not too much details but in general is the same but with a better appearance and smoother experience.
The best of all is the ending of the wait for the Pie update

Nicee! I own a P Smart myself and I can't wait anymore for the update to come. Personally excited for gesture navigations.
But gestures where available on EMUI 8

Mate 20 Pro has just re-appeared on Google’s Android Q Beta page

Lets see after the 90 days timetable?
9to5Google: Huawei Mate 20 Pro quietly removed from Google’s Android Q Beta page.
https://9to5google.com/2019/05/30/huawei-mate-20-pro-android-q-removal/
They should just push out the Beta as long as they can.. or at least give us all the option to opt in.

EMUI has most of the features already, just wish they'd give us the swipe up for apps instead of the decade old desktop icon

Received EMUI 11 beta on the international Mate 20 X

I tried to enroll my device in the beta project for EMUI 11. Has not got a feedback through the app, but a month later has received OTA EMUI 11.
No huge changes, bit for a reason the interface looke better (pretty much IOS 14ish. More fluid, better performance as well as few pits and pieces here and there.
So far:
Text optimised cropping. I think it was there already, but now works better.
Better multitasking with apps drawn in a window while ongoing background apps/ interface working simultaneously.
Better visuals, closer to IOS ones (don't know who follows who, got lost a while ago and I don't really care). Actually I like the EMUI idea being a middle ground between iOS and Android
On the other hand, I believe that WiFi is not right with some connectivity issues.
However it's still early days, let's see how it goes

How did you enroll ? Beta app doesn't shows any option. Did you enroll on Chinese beta web page ?

I applied to the international version. Hasn't got a reply. But 2 weeks later got the OTA update.
I'm still on EMUI 9.1 because EMUI 10 ruined the speaker sound quality. How is it on EMUI 11?
Oh and the multi screen dock: does it let you launch all the apps you have in split screen or in a floating window, or only some approved apps?

sound quality is veeery subjective, so cant comment on that. especially since i wasnt on 9.x for long, updated to 10 almost instantly.
as for the multi window option, it basically lets u add any app to a sort of quick select, from which u can then create a bunch of floating windows (resizeable)

Thanks for the reply.
Would you say the sound quality of the speaker is the same as with EMUI 10?
And for the floating windows: it let's you add any app that's installed on your phone? Even let's say the "Settings" app?

it seems to be a tad louder than before, but again, very subjective.
as for the floating windows: as far as i can see, it only covers user installed apps, no system apps.

Thanks mate. Sorry for all the questions but I want to be sure that I'm upgrading to something I'm going to be liking.
One last question, about the floating apps. Can you only launch a floating app from the apps you've put in the dock? Or can you also launch them from the whole list of apps you get when you press the "+" icon (or do you have to put them in the dock first)?

no worries, happy to help. the dock has a total of 15 slots and can be configured freely with any user installed apps. once added, u can then open the apps from the dock as floating windows.

And is there any other way to launch a floating window or go to split screen? Or can you only do it with apps that are in that dock?

the dock is not always showing, if that is your worry. there is a shortcut gesture, dragging from the side of the screen towards the center and then hold a bit, that brings up the dock.
if i remember correctly, there is a different gesture that can activate split-screen mode with currently running apps. dont remember what that was though (i only ever use one floating window at a time, usually for watching a video while surfing the net or texting)

welcome to the EVR-AL00 EMUI 11 family where are u located?
Italy
Did EMUI 11 introduce a tap-to-wake feature for the front screen? I read they might include a back panel tap feature, but that is of less interest to me.

Uploaded on MEGA: https://mega.nz/folder/lPA3XSYB#K3sWqh0o0PGeUflujIq3vQ
Included MMS.apk as well as two services related to MMS (not sure if needed to install properly)
Also added the Call Recorder app since I saw so many people asking for it
Let me know if this works! Extracted it from the system partition in the "app" and "priv-app" folders.

Oh one last question: can you resize the floating window? EMUI 10.1 didn't let you resize it but maybe they've changed it in EMUI 11.
