[Help] Wallpaper gets dim on every launcher - Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers

The wallpaper, no matter which one I apply gets dim, like there's a dark overlay on top of the wallpaper. At first I though it was an EMUI Launcher feature but no, the same thing happens in nova launcher as well. I googled it and just found one or two threads on it with no clear answer but it feels like it's something that's present in every Huawei phone working with EMUI.
So, does anyone here have the knowledge of how to get rid of it (other than rooting/flashing a custom rom) and if not then what's the process or system app of Huawei that's doing this? Also, doesn't it bother mass Huawei users?
Thanks!

Bump

Thanks for replying, are you sure about this? Look how the other people responded like they don't have any idea of this. Also recently I noticed that it happens to only some wallpaper, the system wallpapers that are pre-installed in emui don't get dim.

My wallpapers are bright and clear without any dark overlay.

Apply the theme "colorful" from built-in themes and post the screenshot, it's wallpaper gets dim for me, you can see it yourself

I confirm that same issue on Huawei MediaPad M3. This is so frustrating :/

changing blue x10 theme

i am new to android ,but i want to know how to change the blue theme of my x10 as i don't like blue ,and where can i download themes
i believe themes can only be applied to their specific Roms, and Roms can only be applied once rooted...but since we have no root, there are no x10 roms
you can change the basic wallpaper, but i dont believe you can change the stock blue background when you are in menus, contacts, etc

Well, a new firmware from SE will introduce "creatouch" and then, we will have themes & co.
Until then, just change the wallpaper.
By the way, i like this blue.... Coming from Nokia 5800xm, this blue is wonderful I will hate to loose it (together with timescape) when new roms will appear.
I'm tired of black.

You're confusing a theme and a wallpaper.
Themes change colors/fonts of menus etc. wallpaper us just a background, which I would hope you already know you can customize.
Install Home ++ in the Android Market. It is a full theme and a damn good one! Plus it has a new task killer that works better than any other ones. Loving it!

I'm not confusing anything.
You can change the wallpaper now without any Creatouch.
By "Creatouch™, an application that allows the user to personalize the home screen" i understand something else but well, we will see.

Hahahahah, still laughing quite hard here.
Not so sure about yourself anymore are you? Creatouch is probably the most useless app ive seen on android yet.
AND STILL no option to change the theme (Well into android 2.1 - )
Anyway thanks again for the laugh.
Hahah
You dragged up a thread from May to say that?

[Q] [NAND] Pixelated graphics and widgets in all NAND roms. (Banding)

Hello xda,
Im currently using the rom on my signature which runs close to perfect. But I want to know why and how can I fix the ugly pixelated graphics and widgets in the rom. Is not a specific rom issue since all NAND roms i've tried have that problem. Back in SD this issue was fixed and graphics looked perfect. How can I achieve that sharp and nice look?
Thank you all, this community is amazing.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
do you have a screenshot at all to show us? Maybe a photo of the screen from another camera if that is easier?
Here's a screenshot with music and calendar widget.
Notice the ugly pixels and blocky look.
Edit. Actually don't know why drocap won't show it. But all of you who have nand open those widgets and you'll see what i mean
sorry dude... it looks normal... and looks totally fine on mine, I have a Telstra HD2 (512ROM) tried the CM and Desire and MIUI based ones, they all work great on mine, no odd looking pixels

Maybe that issue caused by image compression ... I think.
The rendering of widgets can be affected heavily by the launcher. I've heard suggestion that Launcher Pro will get rid of that problem. Worth a try since you just uninstall it if it doesn't fix it.
If it is down to the launcher, there's not going to be any fix for you, other than hope that there's an update to the launcher you use, that addresses the issue.
Thank you all for your answers. Will try another launcher and see.
I installed launcher pro (free) and tried it in the beginning with MDJ 2.6 G-bread nand version... I noticed pixelated widgets but kind of did not care. I also installed bunch of things after 1st boot and started using the phone. Among other apps it was ADWlauncher EX which I paid... I rebooted after that once for different reason and once it booted up again I literally noticed huge bump in how smooth and fluid motion was with this launcher - pixelation was also gone and I do not know whether it was launcher that made it that way - but I definitely love it
I know what he is talking about. I try to avoid widgets with that ugly looking thing. Which is why I'm currently using transparent widgets.
These screenshots have been taken with this app called "shoot me" As you can seen, they look perfectly fine
But, now look at these pictures taken with my digital camera

Looking at the pics you posted I believe this is the banding problem alot have referred too caused by the 65k limitation on the screen.. Yes it is capable of 262k but the devs haven't figured out how to unlock it yet.. Winmo say it's a software limitation.. Hope this is a lil explanation.. The reason your screen shot doesn't show it, is cause android itself isn't limited to 65k colors only the screen is (currently)..

Couple of positives, nova launcher installed and faster unlocking

Finally put nova launcher on, cannot stand that white mess at the bottom of my screen with the pixel launcher when using anything other than a black wallpaper, i mean what the hell was Google thinking with that awful looking feature, i really have no idea, either way glad I did cause now been able to get rid of that unsightly long Google search bar as well, and don't know if I'm imagining it but now since I've switched to the nova launcher and have ambient display disabled the phone is unlocking faster to screen on without the Google launcher ? so seems it's not just the ambient display issue but also seems to be the pixel launcher is lagging, go figure but it's faster for me, hip hooray.
Funny, I just switched to Nova Launcher yesterday. I don't care for the search bar either. I am looking for the APK that will allow Google Feed to work with it.
But I don't think the phone unlocks any faster than with the stock launcher. Each phone, like each person, is unique so I don't doubt that you see unlock speed gains.
But yeah, I don't now why I waited so long to switch to Nova. It rocks!

Thanks this worked, it's one of the reasons i didn't want a different launcher but with the wahed out crap at the bottom and the ugly search bar, this now works with a swipe to the left cheers.
Also just to add i am certain the phone is now unlocking faster with nova installed and ambient display disabled, it's win win all round.
i love nova, but the only reason i stick with the pixel launcher is because google can query the google weather API more reliably and frequently than third parties (like Nova) can, so the weather display is more accurate on google's pixel launcher

And does the modified launcher get rid of that ugly search bar ?
The search bar is not hideable with that rootless pixel launcher unfortunately and there's no mention of removing the white cloud at the bottom of the screen.... here's my nova setup, so much more room on the home screen.

Dark theme not working.

Hi. I installed P beta, and in the display setting I saw the theme that can choose. There's light, dark and auto. Before locking back the bootloader the dark worked great. Now, after system was reset, dark mode doesn't seem to do anything. Quick settings is still white... Should I do something more?
Doesn't work for me either I'm afraid.
It only works if u have a dark wallpaper. Then it works
It's still broken in the official release... what sort of idiot developers or QA people can't test and catch simple bugs like this?
It would take maybe an hour to test various android settings to make sure they were all functioning as expected.

Apparently some people have a hard time understanding wallpaper selection shouldn't effect anything unless you're on AUTO.
If you pick DARK or LIGHT it should default to that mode regardless of what your wallpaper is.

This is an issue which has been present for months. Believe me my phone has been restarted multiple times since the first P Beta, up to and including there current release. Does nothing. Substratum themes also have zero effect. Magisk 16.74 here.
I found the fix! Flip the theme to dark theme in the settings and then install this all black wallpaper below. That will turn everything to the dark theme. Once everything is dark you can switch the wallpaper to any other wallpaper and it should stay in the dark theme. Hope this helps!

What I noticed about the dark theme is that it changes the pull down menu, app drawer, power button selection and volume. It does not change the settings menu, those all stay light. Very weird. It should be all or nothing. Come on Google, get it together!

Live wallpapers cannot be used if you want to trigger the dark theme. That's the reason why it's not working for many. Has to be a dark image.

Best Dark Theme

Heya,
Just wondering, if you had to put a simple, but complete (full UI) dark theme on your Note 9... which one would it be (that you can find on the default samsung theme app).
I always use material dark or material black on my Samsung phones.

You can use substratum with andromeda
If you want a COMPLETE dark theme, you'll want to get Swift Black.
I like Britzer. It's a very dark cool gray with Pixel blue accents and is very lightweight. For icons I use Pixelize.

I had been using these on my s9+ but it started to get real wonky in the last few months, to the point where it wasn't worth it and I removed it completely.
Do you guys just turn off auto updates on those apps and then deal with the annoyance of having to confirm that those aren't auto updates every time your other apps update? It seemed like a lot of times, my "don't auto update" apps would somehow end up auto updating again at some point, and it would frequently break the main google app, google search bar, youtube, etc.
Still a lot better than the days you'd have to hook it back up to a PC to run andromeda, but a hassle none the less and having the main google app constantly break on me was a bad enough experience that I just went back to a dark samsung theme. Curious to see others' experience with it

I turned off auto updates in google play settings and will update apps together with "Swift for Samsung" theme so that the apps won't crash. The update cycle of the theme is frequent enough (atleast once a week). My expereince with the swift themes is really good as it themes many 3rd party apps unlike a samsung theme.
