Want a feature that allows to select the app to draw over a portion of the screen when a certain event has triggered. This permission is the one that allows my messenger chat heads and the new Pocket confirmation to be shown over whatever I am currently doing on screen.
In the given picture, you can see that the FB Chat heads has overlay with the Home screen. This is Drawing apps over the other.i.e One app draws over another app.

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
There is a feature called “Draw over other apps” in EMUI.
This permission does exactly what it says. It greatly works for floating apps like Facebook's Chat Heads.
I can manually select in my honor phone which application I want to allow to float on the top of other application because I dont want everything popping up on my screen without my explicit approval.
To enable "Draw over Apps" follow these steps:
1. Go to the phone Settings.
2. Tap "Apps".
3. Select Advanced on bottom of the screen.
4. Under Advanced, chose "Draw over other apps"
5. Select Application in the list and tap it.
6. Toggle "Permit drawing over other apps" to ON.
In this way you can enable or disable this permission in EMUI

hey all. after some research, i found a partial solution to the problems resizing gallery photos to fit the screen. i forgot to note where i found this solution, so apologies for not being able to throw out credit.
go to the market, downlad "multipicture live wallpaper".. its free...
once downloaded, you can access it by pressing the menu key from homescreen, then select wallpaper, then select live wallpaper and if you scroll down you will see the program. you can make a shortcut as well from the shortcut menu.
once it loads, select gallery as default and configure the options by using the menu key.
hrer is a screenshot of my homescreen using this...

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
EDIT - ADDITIONAL INFO :
This program can also be used to put a different wallpaper on each screen, do slideshows, and much more..
to set it like i have it in the screen shot, go to "common settings" in the program's menu, crop size is "show entire picture"

Until this morning, when I hit Menu in Play Store on my Nexus 4, the drop down menu would include My Apps. (Tapping My Apps would bring a screen listing all my apps, updated or requiring update download, and recently updated.) Starting this morning, tapping Menu brings a drop down menu with only Settings and Help. (Some posts say go into Accounts and make sure your account name/email address is correct, but I don't get Accounts to come up.) Any ideas to bring back My Apps.
Playstore update is now slide to see your apps. Just slide your finger from left side of screen (or touch top left)
sent from my next gen N7
the new playstore made some changes. Once you open playstore, click on the three lines on the left side. See the image below.

Thank you both. I just figured this out by pressing everything I could think of on the Play Store home screen. Headed back to post up the solution in case anyone was as lost as me. Thanks for posting the answer so quickly.
I'm sick of modern UI styles. The worst thing about 'em is "Hamburger menu".
1) It's button is in FAR LEFT corner of the screen. Of my 4.8" screen! And there are 6"+ screens already.
2) Oh, you think "there is a gesture to open the menu if you don't like the button". But it's conflicting with PIVOTS!
So... I made an example app with a usable interface. And I release it as a source so YOU, developers, can use it. No license, you're free to use it as you want (without warranty of any kind of course). However I'll be happy if you mention me in about page of your app.
First of all screenshots:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What's done:
1) Menu button moved to the bottom.
2) First (and most used menu item) is lowest. ListBox is upside down.
3) No gestures.
4) No pages with crazy navigation history. Most used features are on main page, others are on external pages.
5) Each PivotItem can easily have its own AppBar (it's not system AppBar).
I have more ideas and this project will evolve for some time.
Now, the source: https://github.com/LONELY-WOLF/InterfaceSample
Added "..." button with menu. Style is ugly for now.
Hamburger now closes if you tap right from it.
The following are the off screen gestures available in Honor 5X
1. Double Touch to wake - Just double tap on the screen to wake up
2. Draw - This allows you to draw letters on the screen to open a specific app
Currently Draw supports 4 letters c,e,m and w. This may increase in the future with further updates. You can associate any apps to the above mentioned letters.
For example: If C is associated to dialer. You can draw ‘c’ on the screen of the Honor 5X with the display switched off to open the Dialer app.
How to Enable ?
Settings > Motion Control > Configure the Screen off gestures

In order to avoid the accidental gestures when we are not intended to do actually, EMUI has a feature called Touch Disable Mode. This allows us to prevent the device from being mistakenly turn ON when we have smart gestures turned ON. It would detect whether your phone is in your hand or not. i.e when the mobile is kept inside handbags, purse or pockets, the gestures won't work.
How to enable?
1. Go to the settings
2. Select More option in the smart assistance section.
3. Toggle the touch-disable mode to ON / OFF.
