EMUI 4.1 top shortcuts panel (how to add more?) - Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers

Hello,
In my drop-down shortcuts panel, I have a 3x3 shortcuts grid. I want to add more shortcuts, but when I go into edit mode, I can only replace existing ones. Is it possible to add more shortcuts somehow?
Thank you

Afaik you can only put a maximum of 9 tiles there...
Sent from my vivo V3 using XDA-Developers mobile app

I had Notification bar shortcuts customizable in A4.4 with B623 and EMUI 3.1, a plenty of them.
After the upgrade to A5.1 with B852 but also EMUI 3.1 I'm disappointed to see only 9 shortcuts and no option to change it. I even don't know what edit mode would be.
Someone asked for other Huawei device why it was like that with thinking the problem is new EMUI 4. But, I wouldn't say it's EMUI because it's the same in my case. Looks like A5 problem with Huawei.
I have no solution, following this one.l

Manually edit tile icons in Start Menu?

Hello,
I've been searching for a while but I couldn't find sufficient answers on how to do this.
Is there a tutorial to manually make and set tile icons for any program/app that fill up the tiles as a whole just like Store app icons, without using any editing software?
The reason I want to do this manually is because the apps in the Windows Store that can edit these icons have to pop up every time I start the program that I have edited its icon with the editing app. This seems to be something that can't be disabled in Windows 10
Oblytile seemed to be a good editing app that doesn't pop up every time you start up the program you've edited its icon of, but unfortunately it's not compatible with Windows 10 anymore.
Also, if there is an editing app that doesn't pop up, I'd really like it to be able to also make wide tiles (not just small or medium squared tiles) since some editing apps don't support that.
Looking forward to answers on this.

Yes, just look for "Customize Tiles on Windows 10 Start Menu" on youtube or something like that.
Something that bothers me is that icons also change on the taskbar, when the program is running, which is something I want to avoid, and I don't know how to keep the original icon on the taskbar.

Thanks for the reply. The problem is, I can't find any way to make wide tiles manually. I think this would need an app but the problem is that apps usually always pop up for a very brief moment when you open the concerning app for which you've made a customized wide tile.

[Solved] How to change the drawer icon - Huawei Home

[SOLVED: The name of the drawer icon is com.huawei.android.launcher]
WARNING: I DON'T WANT TO SWITCH TO OTHER LAUNCHERS BECAUSE I LOVE HUAWEI HOME, IT JUST NEEDS THE RIGHT THEME.
It's three months that I'm using this new P10 Lite, but I was wondering if there was a way to change the app drawer icon.
I had success changing other icons with a custom theme made with EMUI Theme Editor (and used it on EMUI 5).
I tried the XDA Exclusive 1.2 theme for EMUI 5 and I saw that the icon changes to a more flat one when theme is applied.
The only problem is that I have my own theme and I want to use a different icon pack.
Does anyone know what file in the .hwt of the XDA Exclusive theme modifies that?
I'm sorry for any error, I'm not an English native speaker.
nova or use the themes

If I'm not mistaken, you will find the app drawer icon in the Huawei launcher folder (com.huawei.android.launcher).

Hi, thanks for replying.
Ok now I'm sure that it is com.huawei.android.launcher.
I solved it some days ago but I still couldn't figure the name of the icon.
Thanks again and goodbye

Looking for theme for lockscreen only

I'm looking for a UI theme that can be applied to my phone which would only change the lockscreen portion, and leave the rest of the existing theme (icons, homescreen, settings, phone, contacts, etc) unchanged.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo model SM-G903W (Canada), running Android Nougat 7.0 and Samsung Experience 8.1 with TouchWiz Home 6.1.85.12. I am rooted, with TWRP.
I really dislike the standard theme lockscreen clock, which shows hours stacked on top of minutes.
The Samsung store has themes with a normal digital clock, but I don't want to change the rest of my UI, only the lockscreen. (I know I can install the new theme, then overwrite the icons and wallpaper with my old theme, but the settings menu and so forth remain with the new theme.)
Can anyone point me to a theme that only overwrites the lockscreen?
I'm talking about the clock format, not the lockscreen wallpaper (which is trivial to change).
Otherwise, is it possible to extract the lockscreen portion of a theme and install only that? It looks like Samsung themes are a closed system and development tools are hard to come by, so I'm not sure if any of the "Basic APK & Theming Thread" in the XDA-University forum is applicable. Advice on whether I can modify the theme myself would be appreciated. If this is something that would be simple to change using Sungstratum, then that could be an option.
Other ways to get a normal clock, which I have rejected:
- Install a new lockscreen app -- I'm happy with the functionality of the Samsung default lockscreen (except the ugly clock!)
- Create a permanent notification, which causes the clock to display on one line -- I don't want to have the notification
- Downgrade to Android 6 -- I'd like to stay with Nougat
- Samsung Good Lock app -- not compatible with Nougat on the S5 Neo
Thanks for any help,
Justin

Choosing icons from icon pack

Today I bought an icon pack, as I wanted to change the look of my home screen.
Installed it, applied it. It filled almost all my apps.
For the ones not included I have thousands of icons, theoretically, to choose from in the icon pack. I say theoretically because when I long press an app, go to Edit mode, choose the icon pack I've bought... I'm shown only a very small subset of what's available in the icon pack.
How can I solve this?
There should be an app icon in the drawer for the icon pack, try using that?

Yes, there's an app for the icon pack. It allows you to look at all the available icons (all 3,600 of them), to apply the icon pack for compatible launchers (OP is not there, but the icon pack applied with no problem through home screen settings).
The problem is that to modify single icons you go into Edit mode, as described above, but only a very small subset (144 icons out of 3,600) of the availabe icons is displayed. For instance, there are like nine different colors for music apps (with stylized headphones in different colors), but I have no way of accessing them.
If a solution exists I didn't find it. I ended up using my Nova launcher license and switched to it. All icons became instantly selectable for any single app.

Dude, you can use just the lockscreen of a random theme. Just change the wallpaper

yeah i know i can use any theme, with lockscreen without that shortcut, but, see, i use the clock on the left of the lockscreen and the theme you show is on the center, so, even in settings you can change the position but since is a theme design they cant move for what side you want so...for me is a no go.
i just want a stock theme lockscreen with clock at left without shortcuts. i forget to say that, and its hard, really hard to find one theme with that specific rearangement.

Hey, bro
So, I did what I could now.
I took "Classic" Miui and change the lockscreen
1- I going to put "day of week" later. Only Chinese was working.
2- camera and flashlight still there but you won't see the icon.
Removed other tabs
Tell me if you see other bugs
Just extract the zip file and follow this.
To apply: themes -> my account -> themes -> import (end of the page) -> find the "Classic1.mtz" and apply.

Hi, so, only now i have tested the theme you made with the changes, but receive an error, see the bellow pic...click on it to see full image, the error appears on the bottom.
Cause i change the region to Brasil, in Portugal if we have that location we dont get the Themes app avaiable to install or download themes, so i change my region to Brasil, even India, get same error always.
