New p8 owner, i have a few little questions.

Hello,
First of all, great phone. Build quality and specs are superb, but that EMUI...is ok.
First thing i did was setup my nova launcher like i had it :angel:
http://i66.tinypic.com/333bsee.png
Now for the questions!
1. i have the GRA - L09 version which seems to be able to have Android 6.0 and EMUI 4.0 correct?
I have this http://i67.tinypic.com/20tkl1t.png
its a branded tmobile version of 5.0.1. What do i need to flash first to be able to flash 6.0? i read that you cant just flash any version and that you have to be on a certain build to be able to flash 6.0-
please, if someone could elaborate a bit more.
2, whats up with the colored status bar? i noticed it works only in some stock apps and not in playstore etc.. Is it a nova launcher problem? because it seems its system wide.. looks a bit ugly when youre used to having it. It just picks the colour of my wallpaper so if my wp is red, on whats up is red aswell, its not picking the colour of the app. any fix for this?
thanks dear p8 people

Hello. About marshmallow (6.0) there is only beta version available, so for now i really dont recommend you to install it (downgrade could be difficult if are new in huawei system files). About status bar, its known bug of system, in most apps its transparent, so it has collor like your desktop wallpaper, so we can just wait for fixed marshmallow which i hope will be released in about month. I tried beta and i can tell you its way better then current 5.0.1, so much faster, much more battery friendly ang very nice UI with no buggy status bar etc, but of course, there are some other bugs.

Hi loop!
First welcome to the Huawei universe! Hope you'll stay with us.
Now to answer your questions:
1) To update to Marshmallow & EMUI 4 (In a beta state obviously) you'll first have to debrand your device. I think some people explain how on this forum. Then you'll have to download the update files, put it in a dload folder, etc etc. Everything should be explained on the subject about this beta update.
2) You can remove this coloured status bar on EMUI 3.1 by using a live wallpaper or by making a transparent gradient on the top of your wallpaper. It'll have an 80% transparent shade however... I recommend you Every Stripes and Meter by Google. Used this two for a while and both work!
Or if you want you can download maximax's EMIUI theme. It has a wallpaper with that transparent gradient on top of it. (However it's not a material wallpaper. :/ )
Please note that in EMUI 4 the status bar won't have a blured colouration of your wallpaper. It'll be a "gradient" colouration (Just like on Kit Kat!) If you want it to change you can find a theme, open it using your favourite archive extractor, and find the status bar gradient file and make it fully transparent. (Did that with the EMIUI theme on both the navigation bar and status bar. Also made the status and navigation icons look more like stock Android. )
Hope I've been helpful to you! Have a nice day.

Hi,
I'm picking up a P8 tomorrow coming from a Galaxy S4 on Cyanogenmod and my only concern is the UI. Is there any ROMs or ways to bring the P8 closer to stock other then a launcher, I saw in a review that even with google now launcher it retained the Huawei icons. Is there any way to make these stock?
Thanks in advance!

HERE is the Link to all available ROMs for Canvas 2 colors and clones. You'll find many lollipop ROMs in there but I doubt you'll get everything that YOU want. Nobody wants TouchWiz(Samsung UI) because, simply, it's ugly. Every custom ROM comes with busybox pre installed, if you want Dolby, you have to flash the zip, ROMs based on CM come with AudioFx pre installed. For other stuff that you require you need to check them out by yourself. Simply flash the ROMs and compare.
If this helps, do hit thanks.

EMUI 5.0, 4.1, OR 4.0. WHICH IS BETTER? (Batery life, stability, perfomance...)

Which Android version do you think is best.

For me EMUI 5.0 with C432B560 (android 7.0) is way better than my previous fw C636B321 EMUI 4.1 (android 6.0).
fingerprint sensor is faster,system too and you can get the original android app launcher...
Battery is also a little bit better.
For my simple use of my mate 8 it's great.

emui 5.0 all the way. system is way smoother than on previous versions, boot up time is faster and battery life is actually a little bit better than before as well. so a great all round package
Sent from my Huawei Mate 8 NXT-AL10

of course the latest is the best.. sometimes not but it must be because of few small bugs. people dont create new stuffs without making sure it improves previous version.
doh.....

where did you get the update from ?
am on L29C185B190 and how can i update to emui 5 l29c432b560 ?
thank you

Need help
Hi... From where you downloaded emu 5.0 for l29c185b200 plz send me link and tell me procedure for update.... Thanks

I think EMUI 4.1 is better.
EMUI 5.0 is the latest version. But as we know, so many apps have not been ready for Android 7.0 which is with EMUI 5.0.

True, for example WhatsApp was updated with Nougat notification support just yesterday.
I am also having troubles with Hangouts and WhatsApp notifications. If you set silent notification sound the notification LED stops working too.
Hangouts on 7 also ignores when I set custom notification sounds. It'll still use the default sound.
Notificationgate all over again?
Battery life is perfect though. I would say the standby time is much better now. Something was draining my battery in standby on 4.0 and I couldn't find what. There were no wake locks and apps were all closed except for Hangouts and the battery graph was still downhill. Now I can get through night with 1-2% of battery used.

HI dear
when i connect the program (EMUI ) with the my device mate8, I press system update it show me massage " No internet connection. please check your network siting"
there is internet in my computer, what is solution
Thanks

EMUI 5.0 is best for me. Only one problem - not kill applications after turn off display.

App invisible feature

Ah , we all know miui 8 beta 6.7.21 had a feature called app invisible to hide apps installed on the phone. but later on it was removed .
I downloaded the whole rom package and search every corner of the rom but couldn't find any such app in the rom package . Perhaps it seems , it was some kind of coded sort of thing which I am unable to understand . If anyone of you could help me to have the feature again on my miui 9 beta , I would really be thankful (not only I , but many other redmi 2 prime users too want the same .)
I am ready for any experiment to be done on my redmi 2 prime for that feature . (except that I can't move out from miui rom).

Google blocked overlays on android pie. The galaxy s8/s8+/note 8 have already implemented this for their android pie updates. Overlays still work on the s9 line up on pie but will eventually be blocked in future updates. The days of theming overlays without root is coming to an end.

I men the ok theme you get in theme store if you install why they don't allow it?
