Hi, I'm past due for a new phone (my galaxy note 5 is 2 1/4 years old now and FEELING like it) and the Mate 10 Pro is looking like a good option (I can get it on my preferred carrier for a price I'm happy with), but before I pull the trigger I'm hoping some Mate 10 Pro owners out there can answer some questions for me. Thanks!
I really prefer as close to stock android as possible (currently rooted running pixel launcher as a system app, material theme, google dialer, messenger etc. etc. etc.) so I want to make sure I can get a similar experience with the Mate 10 Pro.
1. Is anyone running pixel launcher on their Mate 10 Pro? If so, how do you find it?
2. How does google assistant go on the Mate 10 Pro?
3. Can I theme the phone to a stock, material look?
I will be rooting so any cool stuff to flash yet, or still too early?
Cheers!
Hello,
Don't know for the first question but:
Google assistant works perfectly and if you root mate 10 pro you will be able to have a stock experience for sure.
Regards
Does the Mate 10 Pro have USB 2.0, 3.0, or 3.1 with its USB-C port?

3.1
Pixel launcher should be available on apkmirror.com or use nova launcher and get the prime version and you can make it look exactly like the pixel launcher with more options. There should be EMUI themes on the play store that work. The Mate 10 Pro comes with a dark theme.
Hi everybody,
seems like that since the beginning of September various e-shops have had availability of a Global Black Shark.
Judging from various unboxing/review videos the main difference seems to be that the Global Black Shark uses a stock-ish Android Oreo with preinstalled Play Services, but this ROM doesn't seem to exists on any site.
Does anybody know something more about that?
I think it would be cool to have an official global ROM.
I purchased mine 4 days ago here, I'm somewhere from Asia.
Yes it comes with Stock Android ROM. Although this looks the way it should be presented to the world, I think I prefer the China ROM's JoyUI due to the features I liked from Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x.
It is similar to MIUI and somehow I regret getting the global verson.

I have the global one as well and its kind of like lineage OS + the shark space , or the way android looks on a google pixel phone + shark space with all the options to configure the gamepad , extreme mode , etc.
Other than that there is no sign of any other joyui features like screen recording and the other stuff with the led customization.
It only says JoyUi when you go to check for updates even though its not
Doesnt come with any bloat-ware either at all.
Out of the box it had about 15~ apps installed which were most google apps , and it has the play store by default.
To be honest i prefer the the more simple global rom because i read on the official chinese forums on the joyui version that there are some stability issues with the software where it sometimes reboots randomly on its own which kinda sucks if its true.
Dont have any screenshots as there is no need since it looks like stock androind.
If you wanna see the ui check out the unbox therapy video where you can kind of see what it looks like.

i see, well i got the Chinese version since june, i can't deny an occasional force reboot happens but its very rare like once in 2 weeks, and its much better with the recent updates, it was a bigger problem before android 8.1 update arrived, now its negligble.
i also had some issues with google services and facebook force closing in the first FW version but that was also fixed now, im very happy with the phone RN, joyui is also very clean and has no bloatware at all, except xiaomi standard apps like the market and gallery app file manager etc which i like since i had xiaomi mi6 before.
overall its great though, battery life is amazing partly due to the big battery of the phone but i think joyui + xiaomi background managment is doing really good work, when im not playing it can easely last 2.5 days of causal use with around 8 hours of SOT. with hibarnate disabled so i get notifications on whatsapp etc.
there is only one thing that really bothers me i wonder if global version is the same, when im taking a video with the camera, the auto focus always goes nuts and keeps trying to refocus and never does, didn't have this issue with any other xiaomi phone before and its the same camera app. i end up using manuel focus for taking videos which is anoying at times when u try to move the camera around focus gets lost.
I have a chinese Black Shark and it's really great except for the fact that the play store is not built in.
You can add it via various tools but it not being a System app brings some compatibility issues such as Android Auto not connecting properly to the phone (logcat says it misses som authorizations).
It also have some problems with the download manager (Play Store sometimes needs a clear data to start download apps again) and with notifications

I have the Chinese version , would much rather have the global one
Black shark 2 variation
I just notice the the Model ada diffrent
For the china is SKR-A0
While the global is SKR-H0
Is there alot of diffrent?
I think that until the last update, the Global one was too a SKR-A0.
With the last update the name of the model was changed to fit with the "Helo" name of the new model, thus the "H" instead of the "A".
Can i change the chineese rom to the global one?, and if so, how?
Pls help

At the moment, this seems impossible.
There are no chinese or global roms online and there is no known method of unlocking the bootloader on the chinese version.

Hi. I'm currently using redmi note 10, and I was wondering if there is a custom rom like iOS for my Android phone? If not then why??
I mean I have installed "Pixel Experience" on my phone but why there isn't an "iOS Experience". I know there are many folks who'd love something like that.
I've tried searching for it and found none, there are some iOS launchers on play Store but they're filled with bugs and ads.
Please reply, Thanks.

Well... Why would we need iOS Experience on Android? Maybe get an iPhone? The way the 2 are made is very... VERY different fundamentally.
Pixel is Android, Pixel Experience is Android. IOS is not open-source like Android. and moreover you can not flash iOS to Android phones, like Redmi Note 10.
Making a ROM like iOS but based on Android is going to be a hard task and a very buggy one. Your best bet is to use launchers and themes which kinda look bad in my opinion.
PS: You can flash MIUI, if you know what i mean...
Hello everyone! I have Vivo iQOO 7 Legend 8/128 CN version with OriginOS on board. Is there any way to add installed apps from Play Store to icon badges app lists' in settings ?
@Max_Prime
Just wondering how you have Origin OS on your phone.

I bought chinese version, not indian.
While I know it is not exactly what you asked - I have just switched Vivo's launcher (which is good) to Microsoft's Launcher. It works very good and looks pretty good IMHO. It just annoyed me so much that Vivo's "smart launcher" is Chinese only.
(Badges are possible there)
