Can confirm you cannot change it without going into something like ES File explorer and manually changing in the settings files. I solved it by installing google clock and forgetting all about huawei software, i suggest you do the same for every single thing Huawei on the Huawei phone

Is there a way to set that clock as the default app that Google assistant set the alarm for when you ask "Hey Google set an alarm."

Sorry I have no idea, you can always ask Google assistant to change clock app, i know it works for music apps and **** by just saying it Gl!

I actually can select any alarm ringtone within the Clock app.
Maybe file access is to be given to the app.

Well I want to change the default alarm on the app so that new alarms would be created with my specified ring tone without having me change the tone for every new alarm

Yes, that's when you make a new alaram and want to change. But next time you make an alarm it goes back to the standard one, the forest one which I dont like at all.

No, in my case when adding a new alarm the proposed ringtone remains the latest I selected.

Are you talking about the Mate 20 pro app?

Yes, the Huawei stock clock app.

it's not changing for me. What step do you do?

Sorry, you're right!!
Because actually only in the settings menu where you can select the ringtone always remains the latest one selected.
A new alarm reset to the Forest Melody.
Sorry again!

No Daydream to Clock?

Is there really no Daydream to Clock option? This has always been a needed feature for me when I plug in my phone at night I use it as my alarm clock.
I know I can install clock apps that kind of do this but you have to fumble around and relaunch the clock app. Such a huge disappointment this simple feature is missing. Might return phone.

What do you mean with : "Ya it doesn't integrate right?" ?
I don't know with the KIW-24 version, but I have it on my stock KIW-21.
If you tap once on the clock widget you have different options such as Alarm clock, chronometer, timer, etc...

Well this is all a moot point because I've dumped EMUI and am using crpalmer's brilliant CM13 ROM for this phone, which has the daydream feature stock like Google made it.
But I was talking about setting Daydreaming to the clock app. Not using the clock widget. If you set your phone to Daydream and go to Daydream settings, the only option is pictures. You should be able to Daydream to the clock app.
Anyways, thanks for your responses but I'm off EMUI now.

I don't quite understand your question. Do you want to put Google camera at your homescreen? or do you want to just change the icon of the Google camera?
Well if you want to do the first one, then you just have to drag and drop the icon at your homescreen, and if you want to do the latter one then you should install a third party launcher.

Hello Digigoon,
I would like to do the same as iMaxime.
We do not want to change icon in HOME screen, we would like to change application triggered by LOCK screen icon.
That is... we may not be able to have the fast picture feature in-build in Honor camera app, but we would be able to launch the third-party camera app from the lock screen. May be more complicated than that, but could you please help us? Is this even possible?
Cordially,
Xavi

As far as I know, you can't do that with stock ROM (or any that isnt customizable on that way). You'll need to download a launcher or an app do costumize your lockscreen

You may try and freeze the native camera app and install the app you want. If there is no FC, then any shortcut will lead to Google Camera as it will be assumed as the default (only) camera app.
I´ve removed myself some useless system apps and some others just can´t be removed. Never tried camera.
Settings > Apps > Advanced > Default App Settings > Camera.
If you change it from there, doesn't it get changed from the lock screen?

You can use a method described by Paul O'Brian but you will have to dig for it a bit.
I don't recall specifically but he used something like
pm.hide.something
To hide the native app and use the one you want. After that, it will use your custom app.
Tag him in the post and he can clarify more.

Discussion for BoredSigns — Custom SignBoard Widgets

Ever wish that LG had given the V10/V20 more widgets in the second screen? Well, wish no more! BoredSigns adds many more widgets to your SignBoard (get it? SignBoard --> BoredSigns?), ones you may need and ones you may not.
The best part about BoredSigns? It doesn't need root! That's right; you can get some brand new widgets on your completely Stock V10 or V20. In the future, ADB may be necessary for certain widgets, but right now, you don't need your computer at all.
Current widgets:
— Information
— Weather
— Image
— Navigation Bar
This app is open source! If you aren't willing to pay $0.99 to buy it, feel free to build it for yourself. I only ask that it not be re-distributed without substantial modifications (i.e. more than changing the theme and name).
GitHub: https://github.com/zacharee/BoredSigns
Google+: https://plus.google.com/communities/105544332208886942595
Feel free to open an issue on GitHub to suggest a new widget!
Package name is com.zacharee1.boredsigns
I already have it and its working flawlesly ?

I have to see if Yahoo will let me ask for future times with the API. If it does, I can make another widget.

Search by the package name in the play store.

I bought it in the play store (I want to support any development for the 2nd screen).
I have to thank you just for the simple fact that at first, I didn't know how to run it... so I went into the 2nd screen options. I had no idea that I had other widgets that I could run. I never thought to tap the "..." on "Show when main screen on" so I have been stuck with the basic options this whole time. Worth my $1.05 right there.
So, after using it for a few minutes, I noticed the persistent notification for BoredSigns, so I long-pressed it and turned off all notifications. Will this negatively affect the operation of the app? I did notice that when I swiped my notification shade down, or when switching between widgets, the 2nd screen options would come on, so I restarted the phone. It doesn't seem to be doing that anymore, but I did have to toggle weather on and off a few times to get a real location and not 100*F in Philadelphia.
Bonus question... where can I find out more about the "yet unreleased AOSP implementation of the 2nd screen?"
Found the perfect image for the second screen a mod one of the best football team in the world...perfect fit and color !
Happy user here....thank you again for this :highfive:
So someone suggested I do a navigation bar widget. After lots of Java reflection (the actual tool, not thinking about my life with Java), I went with a simple Accessibility Service.
Because of that, these functions will be available:
- Back
- Home
- Recents
- Split Screen
- Power
- QS Pulldown
- Notification Pulldown
If there are any other (simple) buttons you might want, suggest them. I'll add them in if I can.
Here's what it looks like right now:

Missing option in settings

Just as title states I'm missing an option in the settings, I had it on my previous Mate 20 Pro and my replacement doesn't have it. It was the option to turn the screen on when a notification comes in, I can search the settings and find it but selecting it takes me to some settings option without it. Screenshots attached to show.

Yes likely it is, so hopefully it gets fixed.
i noticed there is another missing option in settings, specifically the Appgallery assistant.
settings>apps>appgallery assistant.
somehow i realised some people have the option while some (me) don't have it, despite same firmware version.

I'm on the latest firmware (. 126) and I have tried to check huawei's appgallery app for any updates.
So far still can't figured out why the app assistant is missing.

You're on a different version to me anyway, I'm on .122 (LYA-L09 model).
Weird, sorry I can't think what else to try other than a factory reset as last resort.
I also have this issue (missing option to turn the screen on for notifications) but I cannot find any place to change my lockscreen style to magazine. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Open the 'themes' app, go to 'me' then select customise, that will give you the option to change the 'Lock screen style'.

Cant change Notification Tone sound in Whatsapp

I want to do a simple thing - change the notification tone in Whatsapp to be different than the system default tone.
I go to Whatsapp settings and tap the notification tone, I select 'audio files' to view system tones but I get an empty list.
Im with Miui 10.2.3 official global version and all Whatapp permissions are enabled.
It is really frustrating as I see no documentation for this anywhere and saw no one that complains about it but me. Found no similar thread anywhere.
Any thoughts?
You can complete the action using File Manager and select whatever the Audio File you want.
I'm not sure but one of these extensions should work .Mp3 .M4a .Ogg

Using File Manager didnt work.
Found out the solution is completing the action using 'Themes'. As weird as it sounds....
Thanks anyway
How did you change the notification sound using 'Themes'? I'd really appreciate you taking me though this, it's been driving me crazy for ages!

You go to Whatsapp Settings > Notifications > Hit 'Notification Tone' (either under Messages or Groups section) > Select 'Themes' when asked to 'Complete The Action Using'.
Let me know if that helped you or not
I had the same issue and it has nothing to do with updating to latest MIUI version. If you have already updated all your system apps, then just uninstall updates of the "Themes" app and the issue will be solved. Apparently the issue is caused by the new update of "themes" app.

As I mentioned above - Themes was the solution, not the problem I mean, I didnt realize at first that the notification tones are accessible via Themes.
