EMUI 8.1 custom Themes issues (partially incompatible with EMUI 8.0 themes) - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi,
This thread is to report custom themes issues - as I noticed currently available themes (working fine on EMUI 8.0 phones) are partially incompatible with EMUI 8.1 on our P20 phones.
Known issues (EMUI 8.1 vs EMUI 8.0):
- sms app is no longer supported (there is no longer Huawei sms app - Google Messages instead, completly inconsistent with EMUI design...)
- some (not all) custom screen locks are not working
- custom settings menu icons are not visible (only default ones)
- general issue with non-system app icons - most of them are not changing with theme (even if there is custom icon inside theme)
- custom status bar and notifications are not working
I received my P20 today, so i'll update above list during my tests. If you notice any not listed issue - let me know, i will add it.
I'll try to find a solutions for that issues - but of course any help is appreciated

Life saver!
I've been playing around with the themes and noticed my notifications had disappeared from the lock screen. I had assumed it was another setting I'd changed by mistake, but couldn't find what I'd done.
Found this thread last night, stuck the theme back to Romance, and the notifications are back!

But you can use custom theme with standard lock screen - and notifcations should appear

Any custom lockscreens that work with notifications? I tried a few but none display spotify lockscreen controls. I ask because I'd prefer a lockscreen with the clock at the top instead of the bottom like the magazine theme.

Try lockscreen from my SimpleP theme - there is a clock in the top and spotify controls work

I have the same problem. I tried some custom themes and now, no matter what theme I choose, notifications won't expand, I can only read notification first line. And yes, with some custom themes, notifications won't show at all.
@mr.mrcn I can't find SimpleP theme

It is in my app (link is in the signature). But notifications in this lock screen don't expand either.

They are not expanding for me as well, seems like a stupid bug (much like no synchronized volumes with Bluetooth audio devices)

EMUI 8.1 ignores all xml images in custom themes, they are displayed by default.

Not quite true, in my theme are all icons changed, and some other stuff too. I don't have much time to look around, but some paths of icons are different from previous versions. Will try with png's and new folder paths. ???

Because all icons are round and there is no special mask in this icon pack Look at my screenshot - there is a mask, but for unknown reason is not applied to some icons (like gmail, slack, whatsapp..), but for other it is (facebook, telegram..).

Some files in the theme are now overlooked by the system (EMUI 8.1).

Do you think this will be fixed soon?

Probably Huawei actually wants it like this, I think they would've fixed it already

I think not..they would not include a theme engine if they do not want customers to change the look of it..but that is my opinion

You can still change UI colors and drawer icons... Maybe they just want you to do it/they want developers to optimize their themes for the p20/p20 pro before allowing them to change navbar icons/notification tab icons and stuff, at least imo

No Status Bar for me at all, tried Factory reset, the same.

Man, there's a problem with lockscreen. When appkoed the theme you must reboot in order to apply it. But once turned on and thr lockscreen pop up, you can't unlock yhr lock screen, since the background immage is wrongly resized (as you stated). But the problem is that thr unlock gesture (pull down the symbol) doesn't eork, since the image (and the cursor run therefore) is incomplete (too short). Result: you can't unlock you phone!!! Also if background re applied (as you suggested) the unlock procedure seems fail most of the time,you must try several times to succeede. Plese double check lockscreen you choosed. I suggest you to consider to use another lockscreen feature instead. But the theme and the other part of your work are very nice for me. I hope this may help you to identify where the problem is and solve it. Then it's very good theme. Compliments!
Im guessing that the flower is visible all the time in settings? Even if you change the wallpaper?

On my mate7 it is working perfectly. Which model you are using? I think it is due to some difference in phone models...
Beautiful theme, but I want to ask you if it's possible to have WHITE battery icon and if it's possible to have Settings Menu total black with white labels or without the flower...
Thanks a lot ?

If you would make drop down menu blured transparent and the same with settings so both would slightly change depending of the wallpaper it would be the best theme ever
Looks great. Id suggest the lock screen style changed to a newer elegant one as that is EMUI2.0/2.3 style lockscreen.

The problem is if when I change the background of settings to transparent background...it always becomes grayish irrespective of the wallpaper of homescreen. It means settings background doesn't change with home screen background. I think Huawei hasn't allowed this.
However, I can change the dropdown bar as you suggested.

[Q] How to force EMUI not to add icon background?

Emotion UI cuts icons corners to make it rounded (iOS like) and adds background to every icon, even to these with transparent parts. It tries to pick at least similar color to icon, but still it looks horrible with many icons. Any idea how to disable this feature?
I agree it doesn't look good at all. The only way to do it is by finding a theme which allows you to have transparent icon backgrounds. Usually a Lollipop or a Material theme will have that.

Jeeezus man u moaning in every section of this phone.. ar you sure you did the right thing buying this phone?
Or you don't know what themes is? Where you can customize ? Even icons..gosh man .. complaining about some "icons are too rounded"
What on earth complain is this..
Sorry that I asked a questions in q/a thread, it seems valid to me, maybe answers will help someone...

It is a Q&A thread and a very valid question which many people will have. Even I had it when I got a Huawei phone and eventually figured out you had to change it with themes. Problem is they don't include any themes which disable that by default. So you have to search the web and look all over just to find a theme which supports icons with transparent backgrounds. It's no easy task and honestly it should at least come with one theme out of the box which allows for icons with transparent backgrounds.
The only solution I could find was running a different launcher. I'm running Nova Launcher and a Marshmallow theme now and this has oddly enough made me much happier with my phone.

Change appearance of the quick setting/notification panel

Hi,
I'm wondering if there is a way to get a stock Android/Pixel like looking notification and quick setting panel/menu for EMUI 9.1 (I just like its simple icon style and the darker background compared to the particularized bright EMUI appearance).
Something like that is what I'm looking for.
I already found some information on launchers etc., but it doesn't seem to affect the panel in the top:
https://blog.en.uptodown.com/simulate-android-stock-huawei-emui
https://theunlockr.com/huawei-p20-stock-android/
This XDA icon pack does not seem to yield the desired results either (regular app icons are changing, not the top panel though).
Thanks for some info
The only way is to use PowerShade.
It creates an overlay on top of the stock notification panel.

Alright, I tried these kind of apps now and it doesn't really seem to be of any convenience. A lot of system permissions have to be set and then it only works for the drop down menu, but not the actual notification panel at the top.

Yes, right. There is no other way to change it. Some custom themes compatible with emui 9.1 are already on line.

Question Is there any way to remove the clock from the lockscreen? And any possible customization on lockscreen?

I know about the double-line clock option in the settings but it's still ugly for me. I want to completely remove the clock and that small widget from the lockscreen. Is there any way to do that?
Also is there a way to customize the lockscreen? I've heard of klck but it seems like this doesn't customize the lockscreen but just creates another lockscreen on top of the original lockscreen? I don't want to go through two lockscreens in order to unlock my phone.
For now you can't remove the clock since the module for custom clock isnt working in pixel a13, but you can customize it a little with aosp mods, i've added custom text below date, custom text that replace operator and bottom shortcut. nothing more for now

Themes / Apps / Mods ADB Custom Mod Module Maker

For Stock-Rooted Only.
The purpose of this installer is to generate a custom module that can be flashed in Magisk App. It will have all the mods that were selected from the installer menu. You need to be stock with root and of course you need to be attached to your PC. On first installation, a pop-up asking to give ADB shell root permission will show. Please do so. This will only happen once.
I internet speed indicators do not change colors due to light-dark background colors. The colored statusbar icons should.
After Installing this module, your screen will relock after every reboot of your phone. You unlock it the first time, in about a second it will relock itself and you will have to unlock it again. If that is too much for you, don't use this mod. This also will not work with the bootloop protection module. It will disable this module.
This mod uses the SystemUI Patcher Module Template by @Jai_08 By @cool_modules on telegram
Root required
ADB Instructions.
1. Unzip ADB Mods Installer Files.zip on your PC
2. ADB debugging Enabled
3. Run TulsadiverModsInstaller.bat (Give ADB Shell Root Permissions. If missed on first opportunity, turn on in Magisk App superuser)
4. Flash the SystemUI Base First. It provides the necessary smali files and public ID's for everything to work
5. Go through the other options selecting what all mods you want. It is generally best to start at the top and work your way down.
6. Once finished with selections, run "Finish building Module" at the bottom of the menu. This will generate your mymagisk.zip module in a folder called "ozop" on your sdcard.
7. Flash the "mymagisk.zip" in Magisk App.
This mod also installs a QS and settings background overlay option under settings/Display/Device Theme. There are a few QS tile color options with an option to change the settings background to black.
This is firmware specific. If a Pixel firmware update changes either the SystemUIGoogle.apk or Framework-res.apk, this mod will need to be updated. Uninstall this module before updating your phone.
As with anything else you flash on your phone, you run the risk of a bootloop. This might not be compatible with some other modules. Flash at your own risk.

Thanks! Just barely limping along, lol! Baby steps.
I'm not sure these are useful any more. I might post some stand alone mods if there's anyone interested.

Stand alone mods would be cool
March update has been uploaded.
Thanks for posting this! I haven't used your module maker before, but I just spent an hour reading older threads for the Pixel 4XL and 5. I see the mod maker has the ability to change system fonts. That is really the only thing I am after at this point. You actually helped me with a Magisk module back on the Pixel 3a. Is there any chance you could create a stand alone module to change fonts? The attached file is the module you created for Android 10, along with all the custom fonts I wish to use. As I mentioned in another thread, I'm happy make a donation for your time.

I put those fonts into a module installer. It will still relock the screen each time after the phone is rebooted. I don't think this will work without a systemui modification. I put a token PNG file in it along with your font if you would like to try it.

You are awesome! Can't wait to flash this when I get home.
Edit: Looking through your Module maker, I'm wondering if I need to designate a font as google_sans_clock.ttf in order to replace the clock font?

On 13 in product/fonts designate one as GoogleSansClock-Regular.ttf

Okay. Added a font renamed GoogleSansClock-Regular.ttf to \mymagiskFont.zip\system\product\fonts
I assume I don't need to make any changes to the mymagisk.zip file within the mymagiskFont.zip? Sorry for my ignorance.

No, you should be good to go.
Your module applied, no problem. Only real issue is I'm getting overlap with the lockscreen clock. Tried moving some fonts around to try another in place of GoogleSansClock-Regular. Results with same issue. Also missing the dash in Settings for Wi-Fi, but this has intermittently been a problem with this font for years. Hmm. Might have to play around with it some more later when I have more time.

Try a different font for the clock. Which one did you use?

I did try two. I tried the fonts named Roboto-Light and Roboto-Thin. Both are light versions of Helvetica, one is slightly lighter than the other. Both overlapped on the lockscreen. But both did, however, display the colon when the clock switches to a digital version when the user receives a notification on the lockscreen. I remember a lot of these fonts were missing that glyph back in the day too. So that's a plus.
I have to work a couple long shifts the next few days, but I will definitely try some other fonts when I have free time and report back. I really appreciate you getting me started with this module! Many thanks to you!
@Tulsadiver - I'm wondering if you have seen the overlapping behavior on the lockscreen with your custom fonts? I'm also wondering if the stock GoogleSansClock-Regular is a variable font, allowing it to change weights when the user interacts with the phone while the phone is locked (e.g., the double stack clock font is thin and then becomes heavier when the user engages with the device and the background wallpaper image comes into view). I'm thinking maybe my overlapping issue could be related to overwriting a variable font with a static font?
One another note, I'm still seeing what appears to be Roboto font within non-Google applications (e.g., Nova Launcher menu, Solid Explorer menu). I don't see this behavior with the same applications on my Pixel 3 running Android 10. I'm wondering if there is another font I need to overwrite... the only one I can see within Android 13, not present in 10, is RobotoStatic-Regular. Do you think this could be the font used for these app menus, and what do you think about replacing it?

I don't show any overlapping on the fonts I've used and the GoogleSansClock font and AndroidClock are used in mine. I typically use Roboto-Thin to replace them.
There are applications that use their own fonts. I don't see any problem replacing RobertoStatic-Regular though I have not.

Okay, so adding a custom font named RobotoStatic-Regular fixed my issue within certain applications (see attached image).
I also just took a look at the stock GoogleSansClock-Regular font, and it is in fact a variable or dynamic font. This could be related to my render/overlap issue. I might keep trying different fonts to see if it works properly with any of my custom fonts. Another thought I had was buying a variable font online and plugging that one in for the lockscreen clock. Thanks for your continued feedback!
