You can only send feedback once from one device, so makes sure you add everything in one go.

I made the following suggestions. Post yours too. So that its sparks better ideas for the coming Emotion UI 2.0.
Fixes:
- A fix for the profile changer app. There is supposed to be five default profiles built into it but only four shows up, with the car profile being missing. When a new profile is created with the name "Car", it shows up as already used. Hence this needs to be fixed.
- Fix for keypad. On the browser, the address bar also functions as a search bar. The problem is that when one starts to type into that bar, the keypad automatically switches the "space" key to ".com" key, and hence there is no space key option available. Now the space is alternatively available if i was to switch to the numbers key pad section, but i would actually want the space key on the mainpad itself as it is a frequently used key for an internet search. Maybe give the ".com" key the same swipe down function as space key or vice versa.
- Fix for ME widget. The problem is that if i was to reduce the number of widgets that are packed into that widget box, the size of the box does not reduce. So lets say i want to use only the 1x2 size weather widget while removed the rest of the widgets. But what happens is that the widget still takes up the whole big original space and leads to un-usable space on the home screen. The space cannot be used for other widgets or apps. So basically now i am having to search for third party apps to use as a weather/world clock widget. Neither can i use that small music player widget as a stand alone.
- Fix for email widget (not the gmail widget) allows only emails of one email ID (that too the email ID added first) to show up on the email widget. While within the app there is a feature for combined viewing of all mails from all the different email ID's. So this same combined view option should be available for the widget too.
Changes/Additions:
- Make the navigation bar opaque glassy color throughout the system. At present it remains opaque only on the home screen, while turns grey everywhere else. And there is a lot of complains about this grey color.
- Allow scroll option for the bottom tray so that more number of apps can be located there.
- Allow the swipe down gesture on any part of the home screen to bring down the notification panel. At present one has to extend finger all over to the top to bring it down which is laborious when using with one hand. By allowing swipe down anywhere on home screen, this can be solved.
- Regarding the navigation bar hide option. At present this is done by an additional small arrow at the left end of the navigation bar. To me that is a constrictive and inconsistent. I would say that they make the "back/return" key of the navigation bar itself for this purpose by letting the long press of the back key to initiate the hiding of the navigation bar.
- The Huawei ascend Mate got an additional option of "suspend button" but this is not present in the Ascend P6. I would say that this shortcut feature should be added to the P6 too, but rather than have an annoying dot/point on the screen and the problem of having it move about often to prevent it from blocking the screen, the long press of the multitask navigation key should instead be used for activating the shortcut menu. Also the theme of this shortcut should be much improved and great looking with included option of customization. Also there needs to be the toggle options, power off/ restart/ screen turnoff, etc controls, included in this shortcut. The app available on google play called "Toucher Pro" can be seen as an example of design and features.
- Allowing the creation of folders within folders or other options that would allow users who want to have an app drawer, the ability to use and feel the folder as an app drawer itself.
- Option for the lock screen to allow the guest login mode.
- Knock knock phone awaken feature or the active display feature.
- Lock screen should have more detailed notification/message/calls reading option.
- Option to search and download theme from the theme app itself, and of course releasing more themes in a consistent period of time and allowing other users to advertise their themes and make it available for all users. There should be some organized space for public creative development of themes by users.
- More Huawei exclusive live widgets and floating apps.

Good u have given all the super suggestions of which i could thought. Hope EMUI 2.0 comes fast.

Better weather widget with more animations and addition of night....

I have sent the following more:
Additions/Changes:
1) Add timer option for the EMUI Huawei Lock screen.
2) Allow vibration turn off/on option for the unlocking of lock screen. At present the vibration is enabled and cannot be disabled.
3) Allow timer option for switching profiles.
4) The incoming call screen ID picture should be bigger in size.
Fixes:
1) Grey navigation bar stays over third party apps even when third party apps ask for full screen.
2) Screen light abruptly changes at random even if the back light wasn't in auto detect mode. In fact, at times even when the screen light is kept in auto mode, it later abruptly switches to other modes and does not remain in auto mode.
3) The wifi automatically turns off under weak connectivity, even though this battery saving option was disabled.
4) When the permission manager is made to block any app, a notification popups every time the app functions. Maybe a separate section should be created within the permission manager, that mentions all apps that have some of their access blocked rather than through a popup.

More issues:
Fix battery calibration :
The battery % at times become inconsistent, sometimes not charging beyong 90 or 95%, sometimes jumping to 100 after long time on 95. Also when using battery it jumps from below 10% to 4% etc.
Fix Browser:**
1) when using quick controls of the default browser, the top browser control bar that was supposed to be hidden instead gets distorted by appearing as black or some broken image of the website visited.
2) when using the translate option on long press, it goes to google china rather than google english.
Wallpaper controls:
When applying a picture from gallery as wallpaper, the option to apply it as scrollable wallpaper does not exist. The scrollable wallpaper option exists only for the preloaded wallpapers in system.

Some more really important**suggestions
Quick shortcut bar:
A quickshort cut panel that triggers by swiping up the multitask icon. Design: The panel should be 3/4 the height of the screen so that it does not make the thumb stretch too much for single hand users. The apps to pin to quick panel should be left to users to decide. The apps should be properly spaced in stacks such that one quickly memorizes the distance to swipe to trigger each app. So for example, if one pins a screen turn off/lock screen app on bottom of the stacked panel, a mere small swipe from multitask key to just above the navigation bar would trigger the screen to turn off. This design of shortcut to my knowledge would be the quickest and simplest shortcut taking swipe to its best use. Bring it first on Huawei.
Power manger upgrade:
At present there are 3 modes of power manger. Normal, smart and endurance. Although the smart mode conserves battery yet its not used by many as it disconnects the internet when screen locked. To make up for these users, there should a fourth option for those users who want to receive their chat messages or email notifications. They dont want as power hungry as games yet not as low as to be disconnected from internet.
Power manager combined with profile switch toggle:
Setting the power plan for different profiles would also be a great advancement. One could hence then switch their power plan with profile rotation key. So for example, one could switch to chat profile or game profile.
Smart minimizing of video & music:
There is a video minimizing feature on the ascend mate that allows one to watch video in minimized form while multitasking. This feature should be on the Ascend p6 but with certain advances. It should function with swipes similar to the new youtube mobile app. A swipe down/up from video or music play should minimize it to a small screen and then swipe left if one needs to close it or swipe back up/down to maximize it.
Switching browser windows:
Allow the Huawei browser to switch between different opened browser windows by a swipe left or right from the very ends of the screen. The trigger/hotspot being on the ends like an ubuntu side bar being opened but in this case, switching windows.
Other small changes/adds:
- On the default Huawei browser, the long press on text does not contain the "select all" option. Only the copy, share, translate and search option exists.
- There should be a unique sound or led notification to know the battery is full/completely charged.

How to trigger dual window

I'm wanting to use an app called LMT which is basically add on pie controls that can replace your navigation bar, it's fully customizable. Here's a link to the app forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150 it's a great app. Only problem I'm having is getting it to trigger dual window mode. You can customize the various pie slices to trigger anything you want, apps, app shortcuts, bookmarks, keypresses, but with key presses you have to know exactly how to format the command and I haven't a clue how to do that.

Just open the application dual window.

That doesn't do anything, that app I believe is just the framework for dual window, it actually has no activities when checked with system tuner.

Your answer is in thew link you provided.
You have to set a comand "100+Back" this will press and hold back for 100 milliseconds (Pressing and holding back button launches split window.
or 200+Back = 200 milliseconds and so on.

FAQ
Setting key actions:
With LMT's key action you can not only send simple key presses, but also simultaneous presses, long presses and key chains. See the following examples:
"keycode" -> Just a simple key press and release
"500+keycode" or "1000+keycode" or "2000+keycode" -> press and hold the key for 100ms/600ms/1000ms and then release it
"keycode1 keycode2 keycode3" -> Execute keycode1, then keycode2, then keycode3
"keycode1,keycode2" -> press and release keycode1 and keycode2 simultaneously
"keycode1,keycode2 keycode3" -> press and release keycode1 and keycode2 simultaneously and afterwards keycode3
"2000+keycode1,keycode2 keycode3" -> press and hold keycode1 and keycode2 simultaneously for 1000ms and afterwards press and release keycode3

I actually haven't tried that yet, but the pie slices can be set to back, and back longpress' stock function, that didn't work, but I'll give your idea a try and see how it goes.
I have an idea that I'll have to specify the command that launches dual window, but I have no idea how to determine what that is.

Step 1: Head to Settings menu and then choose Apps.
Step 2: Press the gear icon in the top right-hand corner and choose Default Apps > Assist & voice input.
Step 3: Tap the Assist option and choose None from the pop-up menu.
The current selection is Google, which means that the Google Now shortcut on the lock screen will be replaced. And now for that caveat: Changing this setting also disables long-pressing the Home button to open Google Now on Tap.
If you change your mind, you can always switch the Assist app back to Google.

Thanks you very very much.
I solve the problem.
Happy new week

How to hide gesture bar while still being able to swipe between apps (no root).

If you hide the gesture bar, it disables the ability to swipe between apps. But with a single ADB command to hide the bar and STILL be able to swipe between apps:
./adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-39
To revert the change, use
./adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,0
What this does is pushes the bar down off the screen, effectively permanently hiding it (until you revert it)—but the functionality of the bar remains intact as if it were still there.
*Note: this has the effect of "pulling" the UI elements down by the same amount which would normally appear on the bottom of the screen, e.g. the hide keyboard button, switch keyboard button, lockscreen shortcuts, etc. They are all still visible and functional, just shifted down by 39 pixels.
You're welcome!!

For total newbs, here's a quick rundown of how to set up ADB for your device. Trust me it's much simpler than it looks:
PART ONE—Getting ADB on your computer
1. Download the Platform Tools from Google.
2. Unzip it.
3. Start a command prompt or terminal from the new platform-tools folder that step 2 created.
- On Windows, this means opening the platform-tools folder and then holding shift and right clicking and opening a powershell (or command prompt or whatever option you get)
- On Mac, this means open the terminal (cmd+space > terminal), type cd and then drag the platform tools folder onto the terminal and then press enter (basically, cd changes the directory of the terminal, and dragging the platform-tools folder tells it that's where you cd'ing to), then press enter. (cd > drag folder > press enter)
4. That's it. You're now able to do ./adb and ./fastboot commands. If any posts online tell you to type adb, use a ./ in front of the adb. Same with fastboot. There's a separate process to avoid having to type the ./ but it's frankly more work than it's worth IMO.
PART 2—Making your phone allow ADB
1. Go to settings > about phone > software information
2. Tap "Build number" 7 times
3. Go back one page, at the top search "usb debugging" and enable the option
4. Plug your device into your computer and go past your lockscreen
5. In the terminal in platform-tools, type
./adb devices
6. This will trigger a popup on your phone asking you to allow. Accept this popup.
7. Now you can run ./adb commands for your specific device.

Hmm, I don't have the gesture bar at all (it's one of the first things i disabled) and i didn't need adb to do it. Are you using the Android 10 gestures or Samsung?

I don't know also if you mean the gesture bar from Samsung that takes a little line of space in every app. But it is still possible to switch between apps, I wrote this to another guy with that kind of problem:
"It's still possible to swipe between apps but it's more difficult because you don't have the line for orientation. You have to slide up very gently and then left or right."
Sure with the bar it is really flawless, but still possible without. Just needs to be pushed little bit up and then swiping apps is possible.

Sorry I should have been more clear. With this command, you can still swipe left and right to switch between apps. The toggle in settings forces you to do a new arching swipe gesture that's pretty bad IMO (and I assume in everyone's opinion, which is why it's not the way iOS does it or any of the Android 10 phones that are copying the iOS gesture).

Hi, tried this but after executing the command the nav bar move but immediately back to its original position.

I use edge gestures app, I find it very useful, you can asign a variety of gesture actions at left, right and bottom, has the switch apps option, it also provides a "pie" control at every edge, give it a try
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.edgegestures

Display. Navigation bar, full screen gestures + gesture hints. Then swipe on the bottom to move between apps.

This app does the best job for gestures on a samsung device
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.sidegesturepad

Don't have the gesture bar, and swiping between apps works just fine...

I don't understand this, my gesture swipe works perfectly fine just hiding navigation bar.

You can also use good luck and 100 operation plus use the hide navigation bar while you're in gestures and you'll have a complete full screen no gesture bar but be able to use all gestures

Request: Adding additional swipe gesture(s)

Up until yesterday, my Huawei P30 Pro was running EMUI 11.
I have Nova Launcher set to 'Expand notifications' when I swipe down. This has been fine up to now, because 'Quick settings' were available above the notifications, and I could swipe down a second time to access the full 'Quick settings' menu.
However, my phone updated to EMUI 12 last night.
Now, you need to swipe down from the very top-left to open the notification tray, and swipe down from the very top-right to open 'Quick settings'.
Within Nova Settings, there is a 'Swipe down' gesture, which I have retained as 'Expand notifications' but I use 'Quick settings' a lot (to change brightness, orientation lock etc.) and now, I have to specifically swipe from the very top-right of the screen to access these, requiring me to use two hands.
My request is one of the following, if possible:
Two new gestures: Swipe down on left side of screen (I can map this to 'Expand notifications') and Swipe down right side of screen (I can map this to 'Quick settings')
Within the current 'Swipe down' gesture, allow us to swipe down a second time to do something else (in my case, first swipe down would 'Expand notifications', second swipe down would display 'Quick settings'
