Guide about Honor magic - Honor Magic Questions & Answers

First of all I don't own a magic device however I use the magic firmware on my Honor 8 so I can't cover up all info about magic usage but most of them.
So Q/A
I can't install third party launchers, why?
Because huawei blocked this on this firmware. To install third party launchers you'll need root.
So I got a launcher installed. But I can't see any widgets?
Open /system/etc/permissions/handheld_core_hardware.xml and find there will be a # before it which disables the feature. Just remove it and reboot.
Why doesn't notifications work?
By default third party apps gets disabled notifications (idk why) go to notifications and enable them for your new installed apps.
I can't see nfc option?
This is due to being disabled in earlier builds. However B536.1 evaluation versions brings nfc settings.
Some options are still in Chinese why?
They have informed you that the English language is still in beta (unfinished) this we might be able to fix with overlays.
More will come.

What I can tell for now no I haven't seen any indication of it update wise . And since it's a test device rather then a official retail device it is likely they only are going to fix bugs etc. However I can't tell to a 100% but as its a half year since the device is released I doubt nougat is coming in near feature (if at all) there's no info as far as I can see (though I can't read or search in Chinese)

Honor magic usage
Hi There,
Magic phone is indeed magic like, feels really great and looks beautiful, very smooth feel in hand.
Needed few tips and tricks to make more use of it.
Are these possible without root, if rooted office email app will be blocked
1) How to install launcher as system app, Please pls guide. I'm dying to install Neon, Zero.
2) How to install Ultra battery mode? - it is present in Honor 6 and it's awesome!
3) Is it possible to reduce resolution - Screen power saving - like Honor 6, saves battery during night and driving
4) Possible to change keyboard during typing? Popups doesn't show in notification shade, it's painful to go to settings n change every time
TIA.
Tnx,
Shreyas

1. Without root is not possible to install any 3rd party launcher except google launcher.
2. Do you mean the ultrabattery launcher which comes with huawei? If so it could be possible.
3. Resolution i doubt without root, and no idea about that feature.
4. We'll if you don't use navigation bar no, if you do it might work. Can't tell since I don't use that firmware atm but I never saw any fast switch for keyboard

Hi,
I can't figure out how to remove the carrier name from the notification bar on the magic. There seems not to be any option in settings.
Any tips? Phone is rooted.
Thanks,

I think you can edit it somewhere in a xml
Or in a prop file
Say me can you help me with oeminfo?
Or are you using the magicdevice?
Sent from my FRD-L09 using Tapatalk

Yes I am using a magic for the moment.
I've been trying to find it in the props and xmls, but I didn't find "carrier" or "operator" with a grep. It might be called something else.

Google Launcher doesn’ Work. After the installation, when I try to open it, appear an error message who advise I need to change launcher in Settings-Home but in Settings there isn’t “home”

Was Netflix there before? Seems to be baked in.
Wow, that's a pretty substantial update. Can bootloader be unlocked now?
Edit, just read the other thread, great news, it seems unlocking is now allowed!
Very nice, wonder when (if there is any plan) will the Nougat be?

I have no doubt we will get nougat. Keep in mind that the GS7 & 7 Edge don't have Nougat released yet. Also it seems maybe the Camera is improved abit with the update. Really a solid phone for $299, loving it.

I am very excited to hear all of these. Mine is coming tomorrow.
I've watched LeEco Le 2 can survive water test for at least a minute (maybe similar protection [IP53] that Pixel phone offers) so that will be a bonus from this awesome phone.
is x720 compatible with this update or should i wait some more?

Widgets crashing on restart
Has anyone else noticed certain widgets crashing/not starting on reboot? I've noticed two particular widgets not starting on reboot:
1) Battery Widget Pro
2) Dark Sky
Netflix WAS added. Sucks that you can't uninstall, just disable, but the bigger point is let US decide what we do and don't want, not you Leeco.

decryption key?
how to get it?
asking decryption key?

Didn't expect that!

I've bought the Porsche Design and was overwhelmed by the design, specs and performance especially the battery!
But I've discovered some things that really disappointed me!
1. The pro has hicloud and huawei accounts but the PD hasn't
2. An expensive phone like this has no international warranty what so ever.
3. Touch responsiveness has issues and the vibration to touch on the navigation keys cannot be disabled even if you choose the option in sound settings.
4. I expected fixes to be done with further updates and no release of updates is done!
I'm really disappointed, a master piece with no professional support!

1. I have a pro - don't particularly see the point of HiCloud - it was basically the same as my Samsung account, another place to sync my contacts and call log.. Usually if I want to backup/restore these (say if I am factory resetting) - then I use a 3rd Party PC application, as I didn't trust Samsung with it, nor do I trust Huawei with the restore.. Not sure what else the huawei account would incorporate - but theyve never answered my queries I sent them using my account... even after 2 or 3 requests for the same thing.
2. Same deal on the Pro - and they don't sell either of these in my country, so I have no in-country warranty, but I can return it to the store I bought it from if needed... bit annoying but I was aware of this at purchase time.
3. This has been fixed on the Pro - was fixed in B156 firmware (my current firmware), which build are you running on the PD.. maybe try and install B180 using Firmware Finder?
4. Well this is a known issue/fact (I have it on my Pro and some people have it on their Mate 9 - for example I have heard that none of the AU original Mate 9s have had any updates at all, not even on Firmware Finder!), but there is B172 and B180 for the PD... maybe one of them can be installed on yours with Firmware Finder?

Firmware Finder doesnt install the software it only lets you download the ZIP files or use the FF Proxy to tell the HW System Updater that the specific update is available and where to get it from... your system updater then downloads the firmware and runs a couple of checks, if its valid and is Authenticated for your device, itll install it (like a normal OTA is done), if it has not been authenticated for your Device, it will say "Authentication Failed" and won't install it...
Make sure you tick the "Use proxy for install" option in Firmware Finder settings, it will then tell you to download the Addon proxy and install it. After you do that, you go select one of the update, then choose to Send Firmware to Updater, enable the Proxy settings in your WiFi as detailed on the Proxy App page it takes you to and then go run a System Update check in your phone Settings (the OTA should then pop up and ask if you wish to install it). I believe if you read around on the other PD forums, some people mentioned the ~700MB sized OTA worked for B180... The worse that will happen is it will fail to start the install with Auth Failed in the System Updater.
Thank you very much for your response and help, I'll go on and try!

HI
I have the PD and it came with HICLOUD & HUAWEI Account.
The Touch response is great on my phone,the vibration works only on the HOME button.
You can update using HUAWEI FIRMWARE FINDER,as mentioned above.I did it that way to B180.
Which one did you pick? The 2gigs one or the 670mb one?
Sent from my LON-L29 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I have tried them all but The lower number worked for me.
Hello mates ...
got my Mate 9 PD yesterday!
First, as soon as i insert the sim card, i got the update to B180 (from B138), it was around 700 mb!
HiCare and Huawei ID is also on my PD!
What Cust do you have?
On Funky Huawei there is also a B182 listed ... maybe i will try this!
The only thing, i got dissapointed ... i read somewhere, that the mate 9 will not get EMUI 5.1 ?
3. Touch responsiveness has issues and the vibration to touch on the navigation keys cannot be disabled even if you choose the option in sound settings.
Did you remove the screen "protector" that comes with the phone? Before i took it off i had issues with the touch too..
Finally updated to B180 and I can say that all issues were corrected. The Huawei ID was added, the touch responsiveness is way much better, the vibrate on touch for navigation keys can be disabled. There was a pink tint in the center of the camera image in low light conditions which I forgot to mention in which has improved slightly than before.
Overall I'm satisfied now.

New Firmware 47.1.A.12.34

Out for a few markets, based on the build number alone I would say just a bump to the January security update.
Downloading now (233,4MB for customized DE)
Edit: Can confirm, it's security update 1.1.2018
Device feels a lot snapier (like scrolling etc.).
Didn't find anything new.
Can't see any difference except security updates from 1.1.2018.
BTW guys, do you use notifications "priorities" in drop-down notifications panel?
Since the start of using XZ1c I have put my monitoring app to low priority so the app's notification bar was very slim in the notifications panel.
I've done hard reset now when updating the phone and I can't see such feature any more. Did they move it somewhere or it's gone?
I'm not talking about configuring audio/vibrations - this feature it's there for apps created for Oreo - I'm talking about customizing notification bar size in drop-down notifications panel.
****, blank screen in Smart Lock still exists, even after latest update

Try to long press mini button in notification panel, al appear a new hidden menu, should be what you are looking for
Anyone who got this update using Linux and would like to give USB-Tethering a try? I'm stuck on an old version (47.1.A.5.51) and on this one, USB tethering download speeds are terrible (lots of RX packet errors, <1Mbps download speed). This was also an issue with some OnePlus phones which was fixed with a software update, so I'm hopeful that Sony will also fix it (although seeing how the smart lock blank screen bug is still there, my hopes aren't very high)

This enables/disables UI Calibrator (addidtional submenu in System menu) but there are no options regarding notifications.
What I'm talking about is shown below. Earlier I was able to assign chosen apps (for example System Panel monitoring tool) to low priority notifications, in picture below these are Clipper+, Network Monitor and USB charging device. "Android System 2 apps are using battery" is a normal priority notification here:

This is getting really depressing; those of us using USA firmware are being treated as second-class citizens. We're still on 47.1.A.2.234 with the August 2017 security patch.
Hm I didn't get an OTA as well and I'm on the North Columbian build (I think).
Don't want to reflash everything just because of a security patch.

I went looking for a manual firmware update for the g8141 on the US version and don't see it. that sucks! I would suggest you consider flashing to CE1, not only will it enable your fingerprint scanner it's updated more frequently.

There's a workaround for that. In Security, go to Trusted Agents and turn off smart lock, then reboot and turn it back on and the problem is solved.

Is "CE1" an official stock firmware? I haven't done any firmware flashing since the days of Symbian; could you perhaps point me to a "Sony firmware flashing 101" tutorial that you would recommend? I want to make sure that I do it correctly. Thanks.

Customized DE and GEL seem to get updates even faster than CE1 from what I've seen. CE1 is still on 8.49 as of writing this, but DE and GEL are on 12.34. I'm currently running Customized UK and thinking of switching to one of those since I'm impatient.

Any other feedback on the new firmware? Still not availabe here in the UK.

(ii) Install latest Tai Chi app.
Tai-Chi
Step 2: Enable OpAodMOD apk in Manage Modules section [Tai Chi].
Step 3: Update Compatibility Engine
Step 4: On Tai Chi homescreen, select "Add Apps", add System UI

Now you have a fully functioning Always On Display. You can now customize the AOD via the app.
For those complaining about contents of notification appearing on the AOD. Give this Edxposed app a try :

For those who have modules not supported with Tai Chi, you can use EDxposed and Tai Chi at the same time.
Step 1: Enable App List Mode in EDxposed Manager settings.
Step 2: Black List Tai Chi in App List.
Now Tai Chi won't force stop with exposed enabled.

Lately i've been trying hard to find a fix for a phone (a.k.a Oneplus 6t ) which has no notification LED and an "Ambient Display" which is not enough (at least for me).
I've managed to get my hands on a Chinese app that was developed for Oneplus users to have the best ALWAYS ON DISPLAY. It works like charm with a Now playing, Dash charging indicator functionality and also displaying contents of your notifications. It replaces the Ambient display provided by Oneplus with this new one. I've not noticed any battery drains using this app. I'm on latest OPEN BETA 14.
Here are some samples i've taken:
I've been using this for the past 3 days and so far i am impressed. The AOD is working perfectly.
I used a substratum theme to make the in display fingerprint black because that is the only thing which stays still.
Here is the apk:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VxwomPA0lNGnA3tBJJYeZq55xdvpmP7E/view?usp=sharing
The app is in chinese language. You might make use of these screenshots to configure it (I don't see any settings that needs to be changed though):
Else, you can use this app translator to change default chinese to english. the app is restricted to number of words that can be translated. You will need to login with email or phone number to use the app.
Hopefully, those who wanna give the app a try, will like it. :good:

Awesome. Just a question. Does the FP work fine? Also what about AMOLED Burn-in?

Fingerprint works perfectly. I used a substratum theme to make it black to avoid burn in. The rest wont affect the screen. It keeps on showing different notifications and everything moves at random intervals.
It also uses the proximity sensor to turn off the ALWAYS ON DISPLAY-> Pocket mode
So how do we install it?

Can i just use the app without to change something on the settings?..
And do you know if we can adjust the AOD brightness?
Or uses the system brightness level...

I think the default settings have the brightness level of the AOD on auto. Light sensor is being used. For me it's working.
The blue bubble option is the one for customization of the AOD. Select it and then the second option is the one for auto-brightness. Toggle it... You will see something appear down saying true or false. If its activated, it will display true. Else false.
it possible to change the clock size?

Nope, you can't. But it do reduces in font size when it displays notifications of apps.
I find the clock size perfect though. :3
Any way to switch from 24-hour format to 12-hour?
Also the dash right under the date usually means that it didn't retrieve weather data. I'm wondering where it pulls weather info from if that's actually the case.
This mod seems promising.
EDIT: Any way to hide sensitive content? I tried looking through the screenshots and following what I can, but it seems either I missed it or the option isn't there/working.
There's a problem when I make a call, the sensor doesn't work and the screen doesn't turn off.

I'm afraid no. This is no such option for 12 hour clock.
For me google sends me instant weather data via notification. So, as long as i have internet, the weather info will be up to date. It displays the google weather notification.
Yeah, the sensitive contents don't seem to work efficiently. Sometimes it doesn't display but sometimes it display.
You can lock your apps using app locker and eventually it wont display the data. It will only notify user of new notification.
Can't seem to make the weather show up

If it is not an issue from Messenger itself you should take a look on <Developer Options<Bubbles and enable this feature.

Unfortunately, this method does not improve the situation for me. I don't know about others. Maybe someone has other advice.

Reboot device one time. And did you check if from withing the settings of the apps all the permissions including bubbles are allowed?

I am currently on an Android 10 system. I have no way of checking this option in more detail - and I'm not going to install the system just to check. Because I'm half sure it won't work. It's nice if someone could confirm if they have the same phone.
EDIT: I got from friend screenshots, there no option "Bubbles".

You don't need to re-install the system not weird things like these, I just said to check if inside the settings from the app itself (Messenger) exists a feature called Bubbles, I'm currently on A11 with a RN9S and I couldn't find something called specifically Bubble, the nearer feature is Floating Notifications and Notification previews if they have to be enabled to work with Chat Heads (of course all of this thread is assuming that you enable the Chat Heads from messenger)
Try to enable the option through ADB hoping that it is fixed https://9to5google.com/2019/04/03/android-q-beta-2-bubbles/

So did you make those changes via ADB?
Only asking because my understanding is that Messenger changed the way it works under A11, (to use the bubbles API), so the old A10 chat heads behaviour is gone for good.

It seems that in some moment within the beta updates since Android 10 the feature was retired (maybe for testing purposes) but after some release it was working again, not sure about WhatsApp itself, TBH I'm not a fan of Bubbles, but it relies completely on the app so in Android 11 is still implemented (with some changes)
It's just a thing to check in the app if the feature is present or not, but globally it is.
I'm currently running Android 11 and the feature changed the name Chat Heads for Bubbles, in my other device (Redmi 4X) it's under Chat Heads running Android 10 (we're talking about Messenger)

People on reddit reported this as a common issue on all A11 miui builds, someone suggested this older version of messenger which is signed in a way that makes it behave like A10 with the old floating chatheads, which I've been using for a month now.
Here's a link if you wanna try it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13_bpkc_JZ_twhP2UdpuItQv9nj7D-9jM/view
Chat heads was a custom feature for messenger, bubbles is android taking the idea system-wide. Xiaomi broke the bubbles system in 12.0.1rjz
To disable use QuickShortCutMaker or ActivityLauncher from play store.
*search for 'notifications'
*tap 'com.android.settings'
*look for 'notifications' & launch (see pic)
*tap 'bubbles' and toggle off

Interesting.
Will that change result in Messenger using its own chat heads API again?
It's perfectly working in Android 10 and 11. No need to do nothing more to get it working. All the apps can use it and customize it from the Android API. Chat Heads was since 2018 and Bubbles was included since Q. Both features are from Google and were used for any app that want, not an exclusive feature from WhatsApp nor Messenger.
