Use these tips to get the most out of your Huawei P20 Pro.
Screen Recording
Instead of relying on a third-party app for screen recording, EMUI has a great screen recorder baked into the system.
To activate screen recording, hold power + vol up. Then you will be asked to select your audio input. There is no limit to the amount of time that you can record, so just make sure you have enough space. I made a 1:20:00 recording and it ended up being 2.6GB, but this will change depending on your screen resolution. Your recordings will save as an .mp4 file.
The screen recording feature is very useful and has several features that you would normally have to pay for in a third party app. The ability to record for an unlimited amount of time, and record system audio are usually only accessible through premium screen recording apps.
Huawei Home
The default launcher that comes with EMUI is called Huawei Home which is a very customizable launcher. The homescreen is simple and displays the time, a wallpaper, and the amount of steps you’ve taken that day. In the home settings, you can choose custom transitions, toggle app icon badges, create a custom icon grid and more.
For a default launcher, it’s pretty good. If they could get a better selection of icons, it would really improve the look of everything.
Private Space
Private Space is a separate account where you can hide all of your private files, photos, videos and apps. You setup this account with a pin and fingerprint password. After you’re all set up, you can access your private space by pressing the fingerprint sensor which will log you in to your separate account. Your main fingerprint will be used for your primary account and a separate fingerprint will be used to access your private space. It’s really fast and secure, which makes this a great EMUI feature.
Private Space is kind of a hidden feature that not many people know about or use but it is very useful. After using it for a bit, you’ll come to rely on a separate space for all of your files and apps that you need to keep secret.
Color mode & temperature
The Color Mode & Temperature adjustments let you fine-tune the colors on your screen. You can choose between Normal and Vivid mode based on how saturated you’d like your screen to be. Color Temperature adjustment will help you make your colors as accurate as possible. Adjust it until your whites are as white as they can be, blues are blue ect.

Hello!
My wish is to make an app accessible in the fastest way possible, without going back to home screens or other menus.
The app is 'display filter'.
I used Screen Filter for years (I think it's from XDA), I recently switched to display filter because it offers an overlay bar to adjust on-the-fly the amount of % filter without switching focus to the options screen.
Well, I would like this to be activated by the long press (or something else, a gesture, or a combination of hardware buttons (which on the nexus 7 are only 3...volume up-down + power). I usually read comics, and that app is very helpful even with daylight (also to have some privacy in case you're surrounded by people).
Is it possible to do what I am asking?
I also thought of 'wave launcher'....but I think it doesn't work while I am using the comic reader....that means I would turn page whenever I would have to bring up the wave launcher....so that doesn't work.
Any ideas? Leaving the display filter always active is not an option (at least not the best one).
Sorry for reviving a dead thread, but I have a solution to your problem. GMD gesture control is an app that allows you to configure your own multitouch gestures, and I think that you'd be able to make one that opens your screen filter app. The full version of the app costs ~$5 (well worth it in my opinon,) so if you reply I could try it out for you
So, I didn't see a thread with different tips, tricks and features for the M8 and figured I'd add one. There are a lot of things that people don't know about this phone, especially someone like me coming from a Note 3 (Touchwiz) phone. I was on HTC for a while before my Samsung stint and have been learning all sorts of cool new things. Below is a start:

Other tips:
Double tapping will turn on the screen, but it will also turn OFF the screen while in lockscreen.
Zoe Highlights
Create your own mini-movies in seconds. Choose the pictures and videos you want to combine, select a theme and add a soundtrack.* Easy as that. And when you're done, share them with friends and let them add to the fix.
HTC BlinkFeed
Even easier to use. Simply swipe left and you'll automatically enjoy your personalized information stream, Facebook and Twitter posts, breaking news, sports scores and more. Stop digging through online clutter and start enjoying what means the most to you.
HTC Sense TV™
We've completely redesigned it this year to provide a richer and more immersive navigation experience, including social feeds and live sports stats.
Extreme Power Saving Mode
The battery in the HTC One (M8) lasts 40% longer than before. Extreme Power Save mode gives you up to 2 weeks of standby time while still giving you manual access to calls, email, texts, and other basic functions. Even with just 10% battery, you’ll have 30 hours of standby time with Extreme Power Saving Mode.**
Pedometer sensor
Download the Fitbit® app to collect data from the M8’s sensor hub and display your activity stats, including steps, calories, and distance.
Variable slow-motion
Capture in slow motion, and then change the playback speed of a segment in the video to add a more hilarious or dramatic effect.
Pause and go video
Eliminate multiple video files with just a single perfect video. Use the pause button when video recording to pause it, then you can reposition yourself, or wait for the next great moment, and continue recording.
A refined user experience with HTC Sense® 6 that is beautiful and simple
• Color coded themes for easy navigation
• New, beautiful font adapted for high resolution displays
• Install your own fonts
• New, visually simpler icons
• New keyboards for faster input
• Flip to Silent – silence when you need it - quickly flip device to silence ringer
• Quiet Ring – ringer works as much as you need it to, especially while around others -- device knows when you pick it up and automatically decreases ringer volume
• Pocket Mode – hear your device even when it’s tucked away -- device rings louder when enclosed in pocket/bag
• Do Not Disturb - Easily avoid any interruption during a meeting or overnight – block incoming calls /turn down notification sound/vibration.
Any other things that we should add to this list? Let me know.
Other miscellaneous Tips
I have a pair of Samsung earbuds (came with my Note 3, essentially same as any Galaxy S3, S4, and Note 2 earbuds).
Volume Up - Skips Track
Volume Down - Rewinds Track to beginning
Answer - Pauses/Play Track
Are you comfortable in your own skin? Is your phone comfortable in its skin? Rate this thread to express how you deem the skin on the Honor Magic. A higher rating indicates that you love it: it adds just the right amount of features, it's visually pleasing, and overall it's additive to the experience. If this is a Nexus phone (you didn't think we hand-wrote all of these prompts, did you?) then use this rating to indicate how the latest version of Android looks to you.

Magic os is same as emui...quite good
thumbs up
EMUI is one of the least stock experiences you can get on an Android device. This software is slow and bloated. There are a few useful features in EMUI like the following:
