hi all, i have a realme 7 pro and i want to disable the google screen to the left, cant seem to find the setting anywhere.
id also like to enable keypad sounds and change the volume of it? right now its super loud.
when i cloned my old phone to my new one (realme 7 pro) i chose to not bring any apps over but it decided to install some google apps, such as google photos and file manager, so now i have 2 of each and its confusing, how do i remove the google apps and keep the realme ui apps? when i go into the app settings the disable button is greyed out.
last but not least is there a way to use a stock android launcher? im not a big fan of the realme ui.
Cheers!

Hi mate, did you get the google screen to the left disabled? I'm also curious about disabling it

I recently installed Nova on my mate 10. Every time I try to swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to the drawer (all apps), both drawer and Google Assistant will show. I tried so many way and did so many research and still could't figure out how to disable this Google Assistant shortcut feature. I drive everyday so I enjoy using Google Assistant to make phone calls when I am driving.
Does any one know a trick hoe to disable this Google Assistant swipe up shortcut in mate 10?
Thanks!
Hi, its simple. Follow this:
1. Go to Settings then search "Default Apps"
2. Select "Assistance & voice input" then select none
Enjoy your new mate
Thank you @deodass, my same problem solved perfectly!
If you do this on Pie, however, you can no longer access Google Assistant in any other manner (as far as I can tell). I have a Mate 10 and am using the off-screen navigation gestures (i.e., relying on the home button). Any thoughts?
Isn't it easier to disable the Gesture?

Read again, I'm using off-screen navigation (I have a regular Mate 10 with a home button). That choice is not offered unless you're using gestures.
deodatts, you litteraly saved my life. I had been searching for months for a solution to deactivate this pain in the a**.
Created this account here especially to thank you !!!! cheers
I want to get rid of it too, but I want to keep Hey Google. When I initially disabled assistant, Hey Google still worked. Then, while looking for a way to change the tts voice (only two options, red and orange, showed up in the Google app) I installed Google Assistant from the Play Store and deleted it afterwards, and "Hey Google" under Voice Match in the Google app settings has been greyed out ever since unless I enable Google as the assist app and not just as voice input, which again enables the annoying swipe up gesture. Any idea how to go back?
Hello everyone.
I'm trying to remove Swiftkey keyboard from P20 lite and I'm stuck in search. Can't even find the deactivate option on app. Anyone knows what i can do? The P20 lite is locked in Vodafone network, so the idea is at least disable it if i can't remove it.
Pls help, if posible.

I want to remove the app not the change from Swiftkey to Gboard. Or best to disable it.
You can't.

Not possible with standard procedures because it is a system app and button disable is bluish.
But if you are determined to do it no matter what, you can unlock bootloader and then delete the app.
You can uninstall system apps without root using ADB. Check out this guide to know how:

It's a fairly simple process but you will need a computer to run commands.
Thank you for the screen shot which worked for me on P20 lite. For some reason Swiftkey had "taken over" the phone and forced me to use their keyboard even though I have Avast security installed. It was driving me mad......
Better late than never, but you can go to Settings -> System -> Language and input -> Virtual keyboard -> Add a virtual keyboard, and then disable swiftkey so only Gboard or any other keyboard is enabled. This won't delete the app, but at least hides it everywhere and prevents it from being used at all.
You can also use the Huawei Multi-Tool. It gives you access to a great variety of tools that work with many huawei devices. under miscellaneous gives you access to delete system apps. This process can be done via ADB but it's nice to have an User interface to help along with it. There is two Swift keyboard apps. I deleted both and have not issues. I replaced the keyboard with Gboard.

Hi all,
Just set up my Australian version of the mate 20 Pro and it's going fairly smoothly however I noticed that I don't have "Google feeds" option in my home screen settings (see screen shot). Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Maybe it depends on your provider or country
As far as I know, EMUI comes with a feed called "HiBoard" and the default launcher only seems to support that. You can use NovaLauncher to get the google feed working though (in theory).
On mine theres an option in Home screen settings to enable Google feed by swiping right on the homescreen, I've mine disabled but it was on by default.
I get to it using settings, home screen & wallpaper, home screen settings, its then at the bottom for me.
I'm not using any 3rd party launchers, stock.
DOH! just managed to see your screenshot and mine is where HiBoard is on yours.

It's just as easy to click on the little G in the Google now search bar widget that some people including myself keep on homescreen.
I have a Lenovo Z6 Lite. I was ready to change to another ROM, but I gave ZUI a try because it does look like vanilla Android. Now the problem is, press and hold suddenly does not work for the home screen and the app drawer and such, although it still does work on most applications. However, I do remember that this worked perfectly fine when it was new. It's a bummer having to deal with the stock icons and widgets on the home screen, not to mention not having the app shortcuts in the drawer.
I did the following:
1.) Uninstall and/or disabled on-screen overlay enabled apps
2.) Disabled notifs on apps, if it helps
3.) Left all sensitivity settings on stock
Is this problem specific to this Android skin, or does this problem also occur on other brands and skins? If it is, does anyone have fix for it? I really want to solve this without having to change ROMs because it's damn hard finding a decent, stable ROM for a not-famous phone.
Thank you very much.
This used to be a setting in the play store, but then they moved it to settings for the Home Screen. But now it's gone from there as well, at least it is on my P30 Pro.
I've been through all the settings and I can't find where it is now.
SO has the option to automatically create a shortcut on the homescreen when an app is installed been removed from Android now?
If not, anyone know where it's hiding?
