The features which we did not notice in the MWC are :-
1) Quick/Smart Reply :- Remember the pop up notifications we get from the top on our s8 and s8plus? Now we can slide left the notifcation to hide it and drag down from top to show a small window of the chat (like quick replies on ios) and reply.
2) Landscape Mode everywhere- We now have the option to switch off Portrait mode only from the settings menu to have a landscape mode almost everywhere you want to ( in default ) .
If you know more new features, comment and let us know.

Hi,
When I turn my phone into landscape view the navbar always is on the right hand side. But I'm a Lefty - is there a way to have the navbar on the left?
*bump*
Any ideas anyone?
Interesting idea - this appears to be a default behaviour of Android - I would suggest you propose this as a feature request in jira (http://jira.omnirom.org).
I am surprised this hasn't come up before actually on other ROMs - anyone know if it's been done before?
Slimkat has support for this and you can decide where the Navbar appears in landscape mode and on which side of the screen recents appear. I believe that CyanogenMod also supports these and some other "left handed" features too.

I didn't find this in settings (sig isn't up to date, I'm using SlimKat actually) - do you mind pointing me to it?
Do the Kenwood models really not have the dark mode feature that Pioneer models do? I had a Pioneer model before but it's fairly disappointing that I can't go into dark mode automatically (headlights-triggered) for night time driving.
If there's a way to force dark mode, does anyone know how to do that? Having all that white in Maps displaying at night is tough on the eyes.
Thanks for any help.
Yes, enable developer options in the Android auto app on your phone by pressing the Android Auto text in the top bar multiple times just as you would to enable dev options in the phone..... Once u get the toast notification that dev is enabled use the pop up menu in the top right corner and choose dev settings then tap day/night and set to phone controlled or dark if u want it always on nght mode. Looks way better IMO.
Hi, I just switched from Samsung Galaxy S8 to Huawei P30 pro.
What I miss 'till now is:
1) HD calls (Vo LTE) are they available?
2) phone with caller ID and spam protection: what do you suggest?
3) swipe down to open notification bar (edge gesture just installed works fine)
4) home with drawer: in drawer I see icons ordered by name with vertical scrolling. No way to create folders, move icons and have pagination?
5) seems stupid but was very useful: in Galaxy you can use a tool to take a partial screenshot and keep it floating on the screen. Useful p.e. if you have to write down info from a business card you photographed.
1- working for me
2- depends on where u at, where i live i used true caller till it got blocked
3- install 3rd party launcher
4- same as 3
5- use your knuckles, youtube it to learn how it is done
Thanks.
About screenshots: I can take screenshots using knuckles, I can save a partial screenshot,but I can't make it floating in the screen. You know how to do that (tried to search with no success)
You can split the screen by drawing from left to right with a knuckle across the middle of the screen. Place the screenshot in one half and your app in the other.
Once you take the screenshot, just click the small image of it on the bottom left, it will display it full screen so you can view it, or edit it.
Thanks all, but this do not reply to my question.
If you ever tried galaxy screenshot floating function you should. It's very useful!

Hey, i did the same switch.
Which app do you use for swipe down for notifications?
Playstore link?
Thx in advance
This one is good: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.de_studio.recentappswitcher.trial
But finally I reintroduced the bottom bar with fourth button to show notifications
Emui is the best(for me) , just give it some time. Samsung experience is the reason I never go with galaxy devices(my wife has s9)
I installed Nova Launcher (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher) as soon as I set up my P30 Pro. It'll take care of your #3 and 4 concerns.
After the last update to the phone this new menu has shown up when I swipe left or right on the screen. It shows a small group of four rectangles that open up a list of apps. It is conflicting with other apps that utilize the left or right swipe & have no use for it. I have looked everywhere & can't seem to locate the setting. I figured it must be a new feature added with an update.
Thank you
Type multi window in search box and switch to disable
Awesome! Thank you so much! I thought I had looked everywhere. Not sure why my android update enabled the feature automatically.
Don't worry, it's a new feature that came with the update, not an existing one that the update enabled.
Hi,
The following are few tricks for unrooted stock miui 12. These are somewhat basics and possibly known methods. Please feel free to share your thoughts or share something that hasn't been included.
1. Double tap lock screen on third party launcher
- Install OneKeyLockScreen-signed from https://drive.google.com/file/d/15kfzoSnz6WOSh8KD2LTNT297nEfOPexd/view?usp=drivesdk This is not my work so credits to OP / dev.
- Grant necessary permission
- Set double tap gesture on launcher settings
- Screen will be locked instantly, no 10 seconds waiting time nonsense. Fingerprint unlock works.
You can also use "Button shortcuts" in Settings to turn off (and lock) screen using long press
2. Add media / volume control on quick ball
- Install Media Volume Control from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.krdevteam.mediavolumecontrol
- Open Quick Ball settings
- Replace one of current shortcuts with "App"
- Select (Media) Volume Control
3. If Quick Ball isn't your cup of tea, you can use "Shortcutter" or "Tiles" to add available shortcuts to quick settings tiles.
4. Add Accessibility Menu to nav bar, as an alternative to Quick Ball
- Go to "Accessibility"
- Turn on "Accessibility Menu"
- It will show up on bottom right corner, comprises of a handful shortcuts including volume panel, toggles etc
- The downside is, it's not one-hand operation friendly.
- On the other hand, if you use Control Center with third party launcher, selecting 'Toggles' will show Control Center.
This particularly useful since swipe down gesture on the right side of home screen will show notifications i/o CC
5. User friendly debloat tool with GUI (executable JAR), credits to dev
