Digging around I unexpecting found how to enable Doze on my H7 emui 4 (Android 6 based)
So....I used a togle, born to switch on and off Doze on stock MM (I was using it in N5).
Anyway, this togle is just a "Trojan horse" to can open the Android 6 battery saving option page, in deafult it is present but hidden and not reachable on emui
As I told before the togle doesn't work on Emui we we'll use it just for what we need.
So here is my small tutorial, hope you find it useful
Install "BatterySaver Screen Shortcut"
(free version from PlayStore).
{
"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"
}
Once installed, launch the app, here is what you see
Tap on "enable service"
Switch "battery saver" over ON position
Than we can go back to the previous screen of the togle
Tap on "Log" ( the smartphone doesn't have to be in charge)
At this point for few moments will be open the page we are looking for
The interesting thing I discovered is that we can recall this page from the square button of Android as any other app or page we opened before !!
OK, so let's recall the page and activate Doze, it will work as for any stock Android device basing itself on the percentage of left battery we choose to activate, and deactivate once we plug to the charger the phone
Now we will have two kind of notifications, a stock one default of MM for battery left between 15% and 10%, tapping on it we can directly have access to the Doze configuration page; and we will have an Emui notification with battery under 10%, in this case beside the percentage marked in red will compare "battery saving active" or so[ I don't remember I'm translating from Italian ], but no direct access to the Doze configuration page. In any case we always know that Doze is active
This procedure have to be done just once, emui or better Android will remember the option, by the way; I keep installed the togle inorder to access any time to the Doze configuration page simply tapping on "Log" and recall the page as wrote before
Hope this small tutorial could be useful, I always wanted the stock Android battery saving on my H7....
....As small feedback I can tell that with Doze ON the H7 is naturally slower and many emui visual effects are turned off, as the data connection philosophy is naturally the Doze one...
But...
..I like better to keep my honor 7 on the max prestation profile and use Doze instead of the emui battery saving philosophy

Most of us have experienced performance issues with increased upgrades on the N7000. Here is what I figured out so far. Please share your knowledge for that we all may get the best User Experience! :silly:
- Set the mouse pointer speed to a maximum
- Get rid of touchwiz
- turn off Multi-window mode (e.g. Notification Settings Buttons)
- regularly do a soft-reboot ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.fastreboot&hl=en )
- use the JB 4.2 Android keyboard and not the Samsung Keyboard
- turn off background monitoring apps (performance meters etc...)
-Install only software you really need in the first place
-Reboot your phone if you haven't seen in go into Deep Sleep (System-Settings> Battery> Bluebar indicator for "Awake")
- Awaking from Deep Sleep takes a bit - there isn't much you can do. ( e.g. see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136223&page=20 )
- By using Apex Launcher, I have around 50% of ca 700Mb in total RAM free after a fresh boot, with various software already installed.
PS: Note that since yesterday ( http://www.gsmarena.com/galaxy_s_iii_gets_android_412_update_brings_note_ii_experience-news-5166.php ) when using the internal OTA update command I get an error that I modified my OS. In other words, Samsung has now flagged its leaked ROM.
Can others confirm this?
The official JB ROM release for the N7000 is probably very imminent, yet will likely not improve much in terms of memory consumption
if you turn off all the animation using Developer Options -> it increases the performance to an extent
Make sure that ALL monitoring software is turned off, when the device is not needed. If you see regular, periodic activity in your battery stats that is a good indicator that some monitoring, or "similar functionality application" is running. Before turning the device to sleep, I do a soft-reboot, kill all running apps and set it to flight mode.
You can get a gouvernor to do this for you - on rooted ROMs. See xda for more information. All experiments were done on the official stock, unrooted JB ROM.
Before (already after some "optimization tinkering"):

After:
PS: I generally halfed the animation transition time (i.e. set it to 0.5)
GPS was on (but not utilized).
just quick a question, can any current JB (or even ICS) ROMs give a good battery drain on 2G and standby?
Like the 1 I had during GB, without going into airplane mode:
EMUI On Honor 8
For those of you getting an Honor 8, this will probably be your first experience with EMUI. EMUI is the UX that will ship on your phone, similar to Touchwiz on Samsung. There are a bunch of features in EMUI that I'm going to be going over in this thread.
Schedule Power On and Off
Scheduling a power on and off for your phone is an interesting idea that I've never thought too much about. I've seen quiet times and night modes but turning it on and off makes more sense to me. This will also save some battery power because your phone isn't syncing your data at night.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Motion Control
The motion gestures is something I've never found useful but more and more phones are implementing it, so someone must be using it. You'll have all of your basic motion gestures like flip to mute and all that. What's really interesting is the knuckles gestures. Somehow the scientists in China have figured out how to differentiate knocks from touches. This lets you use knocks for stuff like screenshots or screen records.
Floating Dock
The floating dock will put your navigation bar in a it a little circle menu off to the side. You've seen stuff like this before so there's not much to say about it. Features like this are usually found in custom ROMs. You might find that with all of the cool features in EMUI, you could be satisfied staying with stock.
Smart Key
Smart Key turns your fingerprint sensor into a physical button. Assign custom actions or apps to press, double press or long press. This is by far my favorite feature of EMUI.
As I'm finishing up this post, my Honor 8 has been scheduled to shut down lol. That means it's my bed time, but there are plenty of other cool things in EMUI. If you own an Honor 8, please share your favorites in the comments.
Does this phone have double tap to wake?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It does not (not that I have found)
Another Feature to mention is the ability to have your alarms come on, even though the phone is off.
While playing with the bootloader yesterday I saw you have the option to enable the device to sound if alarms are schedule.

yes.
usually not enabled by default. need to be enable in the settings under motion control
The Honor 8 Pro runs the feature packed EMUI system. This user interface has all sorts of hidden gems that can really improve your experience with this phone. Here are some of my favorite.
Screen Recording
The built in screen recording features saves you from having to install a third-party app. Hold the Volume up and Power button to trigger the screen recording feature.

}
Phone Manager
The phone manager app has many different optimizations to speed up your phone, as well as security features like virus scan and app lock.
Themes
The theme manger is easy to use while having plenty of customization options to get your phone looking exactly how you want it.
Home Screen Settings
EMUI lets you change the icon grid, screen animations, badge icons and much more.
What is your favorite feature of EMUI?
First thing to do is to disable "App suggestions".
I am totally fed up with being "suggested" what to do. I have a brain and intend to continue using it.
The whole business of looking at what we do in order to sell us more is reaching a point where the world gets divided into sheep who will do what they are told and people who still want to use their own judgement, investigate and find things by themselves. I aim to remain part of the "people" group.
Sorry about the rant but it's getting out of control.
Hii @DrGreenway
I think I saw you at Honor 8 forums
Just a question to ask
Did you own a Honor 8 and is the Pro a good upgrade??
And what is the diference between EMUI 5.0 and 5.1
Couse the things you said as best features of 5.1 are mostly present in EMUI 5.0 and Honor 8
Maybe from me to add that if you are on lock screen and swipe UP from the very bottom
you get some shortcuts ( on Honor 8 )
And it includes a default bar code scanner.. not much but I usually used to install it from play store

Hey EMUI Users,
If you are a Smartphone enthusiast, you might already have known the mechanism behind "Always on Display" and why it is used but if you don't really know about it, let me explain:
"Always on Display is a feature that comes mostly with Premium range Smartphones (including Huawei Smartphones) which enables you to keep your screen on all the time"
Now the question is: "Why would anyone want to turn on their Smartphone Screen all the time? Won't it empty your battery very quickly?"
There are 2 Parts of this questions, the first one is Why would anyone want to Turn on their Smartphone Screen all the time?
The answer to this question is fairly simple, some people don't like to pickup and activate their Smartphone screens to check if they received any new messages, emails and Missed Calls.
Having a screen that let's you know all this information but not too much information is a good thing right?
That is the reason where Always on Display or AOD comes to the rescue as it enables you to see if you have any new notifications so that you might not get distracted all the time by turning on your screen again and again.
Now comes the second part "Turning on the Always on Display can drain your batter very quickly?"
The answer to this question is a bit tricky as although turning on your Smartphone screen for long periods of time does consumes lot of battery but if your Smartphone has an OLED display, it really brings down the battery usages down because it specifically turns on the pixels that are required and the Always On Display takes benefit of this scenario and therefore only turns on essential pixel on your Screen instead of the whole screen to minimize battery usage
How to enable Always on Display on your Smartphone?
First of all you have to make sure that your Huawei Smartphone does contain this feature and contains and OLED display as well.
After confirming these 2 things:
On EMUI 10.0
Go to Settings-> Home screen & wallpaper -> Always On Display
Hello! I REALLY need your help! I have an asus a002a, worked fine, but the battery started to die with age. Today I found out in the evening that he sat down to 0, but I had to go outside and I left him like that, came home after 20 minutes, put him on charge. I turn it on, and it shows me the picture "Launching Android", which I have not seen before (picture for spoiler # 1). Then I look, and the notification curtain has become very small and does not unfold as before (spoiler # 2) ... do not change the brightness, etc.. I also look, the date and time have gone wrong .... system settings and it asked me again enable the checkbox to allow installation of packages from an external source. Then ... THE BUTTONS Home and Browse open applications DO NOT WORK, only the back button (the home button and applications work, they glow when I press it, but the return and review functions do not work) .... I DECIDED TO GO TO THE SETTINGS FOR DEVELOPERS ... and what do you think??? It writes to me: This user has no developer options (spoiler #3) I'm Awesome! I thought maybe I have some kind of safe mode.. restarted through the recovery in normal mode... nothing has changed... The "zenui system interface or whatever it is" disappeared from the list of applications ... downloaded a new one installed the same version from the Internet (I wrote it down a long time ago) ... nothing has changed .. I have NO KNOW what happened ... but it’s obvious that the bodies sat down so much that they didn’t receive power and reset all settings ...! There is an assumption that after the reset he should have shown the phone settings program (I read on xda that if you reset the bodies it asks in this screen to connect to wifi, but this model a002a wifi only works in the usa (above you can read how I hopelessly tried to solve this problem in this topic) ) And in general I have a suspicion that it should have shown this settings window and blocked the exit keys so that the program could not be exited and did not give full access ... but I turned off all the standard verizon applications because they worked in the background and ate the battery ...: unsure: And now it can't show the window and unlock the bodies, but this is just my meager guess ... I really need your advice and help .. how to return access to the developer tools, make the buttons work and return the normal curtain? I'm very sad....
