Received EMUI 11 beta on the international Mate 20 X - Huawei Mate 20 X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe

I tried to enroll my device in the beta project for EMUI 11. Has not got a feedback through the app, but a month later has received OTA EMUI 11.
No huge changes, bit for a reason the interface looke better (pretty much IOS 14ish. More fluid, better performance as well as few pits and pieces here and there.
So far:
Text optimised cropping. I think it was there already, but now works better.
Better multitasking with apps drawn in a window while ongoing background apps/ interface working simultaneously.
Better visuals, closer to IOS ones (don't know who follows who, got lost a while ago and I don't really care). Actually I like the EMUI idea being a middle ground between iOS and Android
On the other hand, I believe that WiFi is not right with some connectivity issues.
However it's still early days, let's see how it goes

How did you enroll ? Beta app doesn't shows any option. Did you enroll on Chinese beta web page ?

I applied to the international version. Hasn't got a reply. But 2 weeks later got the OTA update.

I'm still on EMUI 9.1 because EMUI 10 ruined the speaker sound quality. How is it on EMUI 11?
Oh and the multi screen dock: does it let you launch all the apps you have in split screen or in a floating window, or only some approved apps?

sound quality is veeery subjective, so cant comment on that. especially since i wasnt on 9.x for long, updated to 10 almost instantly.
as for the multi window option, it basically lets u add any app to a sort of quick select, from which u can then create a bunch of floating windows (resizeable)

Thanks for the reply.
Would you say the sound quality of the speaker is the same as with EMUI 10?
And for the floating windows: it let's you add any app that's installed on your phone? Even let's say the "Settings" app?

it seems to be a tad louder than before, but again, very subjective.
as for the floating windows: as far as i can see, it only covers user installed apps, no system apps.

Thanks mate. Sorry for all the questions but I want to be sure that I'm upgrading to something I'm going to be liking.
One last question, about the floating apps. Can you only launch a floating app from the apps you've put in the dock? Or can you also launch them from the whole list of apps you get when you press the "+" icon (or do you have to put them in the dock first)?

no worries, happy to help. the dock has a total of 15 slots and can be configured freely with any user installed apps. once added, u can then open the apps from the dock as floating windows.

And is there any other way to launch a floating window or go to split screen? Or can you only do it with apps that are in that dock?

the dock is not always showing, if that is your worry. there is a shortcut gesture, dragging from the side of the screen towards the center and then hold a bit, that brings up the dock.
if i remember correctly, there is a different gesture that can activate split-screen mode with currently running apps. dont remember what that was though (i only ever use one floating window at a time, usually for watching a video while surfing the net or texting)

Did EMUI 11 introduce a tap-to-wake feature for the front screen? I read they might include a back panel tap feature, but that is of less interest to me.

There was no zoom feature on my Nexus 5X out of the box totally stock. Still no zoom with an OTA to 6.0.1. No change with Chrome Dev. Not rooted, not unlocked, totally unmolested vanilla Marshmallow.

Wow thats weird i couldnt imagine how to browse an that giant screens without that double tap to zoom i use my phone 60% one handed... Cant even believe they disabled it, Maybe Google again f***ed it up... -_-, but,
You did maybe a search on Google if some other experiencing the same issue? Maybe need to set a switch or sth..??
I will go tomorrow to a tech Shop & try it. On a 5x and 6p and report back.... If they really disabled it, then... Google need to not take so much stuff ?

Yes I use my phone one handed all the time, or at least I used to. Now I have to fumble with the phone to use a second hand or try to pinch zoom one-handed. Quite annoying.
I have searched Google and there are reports over the years of the feature being missing but nothing seems specific to N5X or Marshmallow...
I think most people don't know the feature is there and that is why they don't notice it missing.

I can really feel ur pain but also cant imagine they removed it Most of my friends have Android phones in all classes like old or new some are flashed with CM or something and i think it works there everywhere... Im sure for the Most phones.
What i read is that some had this Problem, because if you enable "zoom gestures" in accesability settings, it dont works. Maybe you check that?
I will also see hows on the nexuses here, tomorrow. But im pretty sure the dont removed it. Its a bug when. There would be apps and xposed modules at least to bringt that functionality back...

Yes I can't imagine they removed it, I think it must be a bug. I had this feature working just last week on my Nexus 5 (2013) before I got the 5X. I was running Cataclysm (AOSP 6.0 + tweaks I think) and the feature was there.
I also read about the zoom gestures, but that can't be it because it was never enabled... until I started searching all the menus of the phone to remedy the problem and found that zoom gesture (was disabled when I found it, but I enabled it in an effort to bring back the one-handed zoom). The gesture offers some one-handed zoom but it is really crap in comparison to the regular double-tap + slide. After messing around with the "triple tap magnify" in accessibility menu and finding it crappy, I disabled it. Still no double-tap slide zoom. Garrgh..

Well here's an update. I noticed I DID have the double tap + slide to zoom feature in chrome, but only on particular pages and only if I tapped in certain spots on the page. I'm probably just an idiot.
Regardless, I've unlocked, rooted, and flashed Cataclysm last night. No issues. Double tap + slide to zoom works as expected. Case closed!
I installed marshmallow today and my zoom feature no longer works on chrome either. I have a Samsung s6 edge

Developer Settings, Multi-Window?

Does the Z3 Tablet Compact have the multi window option in the developer options on MM? Like mentioned on this page, here.

No, but it has an option called 'Simulate Secondary Displays', which allows the user to set different resolutions.

The option shows a semi transparant overlay of a the screen image. It is nothing like the dual window in Nougat. So you are probably right.
I will be upgrading to MM in a bit and let's see. On my rooted Z5 i edited the build.prop to activate multi window and it works great though tricky to activate unlike on nougat. Hoping to have the same in my Tab Z3C. Will post back soon.

I warn you though that it's really buggy unlike in Nougat where experience is seamless. Like in the screenshot I was using it on portrait mode with chrome on top and messaging below. Whenever I started scrolling chrome the window below just disappears. It's really buggy. In landscape it's better though. For the root I really forgot since I rooted the first day I got this 3 years ago and it was never unrooted after that. I think I used the method in kitkat which has a tutorial on this section also by Lowtrax.

Hiding Apps via EMUI

Coming from a Nexus 6p with Nova Launcher, I've found it frustrating to use EMUI, especially the inability to hide apps - mainly the bloatware that are installed.
Is therea any way to have a folder for "junk"?

I thought a "zoom out" was the inverse method to pinch in,which brings up your settings to the EMUI page (Wallpaper, Widgets, transitions, settings etc)?
When I do the opposite zoome out, nothing happens - am I making a school boy error here?

Yes it's the inverse at pinch (sorry for my bad English)
Did you reboot the phone?
Because it works for sure with this app.
It was a feature of precedent emui but it still works on emui 8.
It's just desactivated by default on emui 8 and this app activate it again
You have to do the exact opposite with your finger that which brings settings of emui page

I also have a Mate 10. This works for me, but only in "Standard" not "Drawer" style homescreen. I have not found a way to hide apps in the drawer using stock launcher.
Same here with Honor 9 and emiui 8, zoom out-->home settings, zoom in--->nothing :/
I can confirm that the hidden apps folder works on EMUI 8.1 on P20 Pro but only in Standard homescreen mode, but not in Drawer mode.

How-To Enable Two-Button Navigation on the OnePlus 8 Pro

I love that OnePlus gives us the option to use either gesture or three-button navigation. But I wish we had two-button navigation too! It's the best of both worlds! The good news is that it's super easy to enable Two Button Navigation with a super quick and easy ADB command. You will need USB Debugging enabled on your phone and ADB installed on your computer.
ADB Command: adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.twobutton
Check out the video here to see it in action.
If you are on Android 11, the first method will not work. Please watch this video for instructions on how to get Two Button Navigation working on Android 11 (root required):

they were the OnePlus gestures found on the OnePlus 6t that's what I came from and the back was a swipe up from the bottom corner of the left or the right side and then swipe up home was straight up from the center and then recents was swipe up and hold and then you can also jump to your last app that you opened by swiping up and to the right.

So it took me a few minutes to refresh my memory but I figured out what you're looking for! Good news is that I have the answer, bad news is that it's not what you're looking for.
When Google rolled out Android 10 they basically gave OEM's requirements on how the navigation bar had to work. The old implementation you're looking for is OnePlus's take on gesture navigation and Google basically says don't do it. So when they rolled out the OnePlus 7, they got rid of that option.
There might still be a way to enable it, but I haven't found anything yet. If I do, I'll be sure to let you know!
Here's a really good write up that explains the change. https://www.xda-developers.com/google-gesture-navigation-android-10/

On 6T Android10 , we have both options to choose, google implementation and this one from OnePlus, for gesture navigation..
I believe this app will provide you all the gestures you need, posted elsewhere on these forums.

FWIW, Google doesn't force OEMs to get rid of their own gesture implementation - they just have to hide it behind one extra Settings layer. For example, on the OPPO Find X2 Pro running ColorOS 7.1, you can still enable the swipe-up gestures (the same one from older versions of OxygenOS) as well as Google's full-screen gestures.

I wish it was a bug! Unfortunately, it's 100% by design. With Android 10, Google basically retired any navigation options that weren't their gesture or three-button options. Manufacturers can still include their own options but they have to do it in a submenu and can't use the Google framework files for it. They basically have to repack a bunch of files to get their stuff in the right spot on the menus, to get the overlay to work correctly, and then they have to still push the Google options as the default. It's just not cost-effective for OnePlus (or any manufacturer other than maybe Samsung) to use another option now. This method worked because OnePlus already had the work done on the framework, they just didn't update the menu to show their navigation options. With Android 11, there was enough of a rebase going on that they didn't go through the effort of adding it back in. But hey, this is XDA. I'm sure we'll see some mods in the future that will bring it back though!

Themes / Apps / Mods How-To Enable Two-Button Navigation on Android 12 (Root Required)!

I am a huge fan of the old Two-Button Navigation that Google gave us with Android 9. I always try the latest and greatest with nav gestures and always come away feeling like they are lacking. Unfortunately, Google officially removed Two-Button Navigation with Android 10. Fortunately, there's a way to bring it back! And it's even easier now than it was before! Just install the Magisk Module and enable it in Settings.

Yep! I originally put the files together for Oxygen OS 11 but they work for Android 12 as well. In fact, they work better for Android 12! I'm using it right now on my Pixel 6 and you can see it all in action in my video.
Hello, this does not work on OOS 12 on my OnePlus 9 Pro... When I activate it, I have the 2 buttons but I can't open the recent app drawer...

Dang! I haven't had a chance to try it on OOS 12 yet. I'll have to give it a try and see what I can figure out.

Thank you, 2 buttons navigation is a must have , I don't know why they deleted it
The link won't take you directly to the files like in the video. IDK if they were moved or what, but you can find them pretty easily if you navigate through the folders and find one named "Magisk modules". Confirmed that this does work on the Pixel 6 (oriole).

Sorry, I'm not sure what link you're looking at but the link in the OP is the same one I used in the video. Can you show me what link you're looking at so that I can fix it? Thanks!

Actually, that's on me. I copied the link into Chat from my browser so I could click on it from my phone rather than trying to find the post from the app, because I'm lazy. Chat inexplicably only hyperlinked up to the "Misc" folder, so I essentially clicked on https://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.php?dir=Files/Misc Disregard then.

Lol that's actually not you at all! That's 100% on me and the noob I was when I built the site 10+ years ago. I put a space in "Misc Files" instead of an underscore or something and most browsers don't like spaces. I've wanted to fix that for years but it would require some massive overhauls and updating hundreds of links all over the Internet. Sorry for the pain!
Does this work on 13 beta?

I haven't tested it yet but I don't see why it wouldn't. Give it a try and let us know?

I've been using this on Android 13 since it's official launch on Pixel, and the swipe up to go to recents gesture isn't working anymore.

Can you try testing the following:
Turn off Auto Rotate.
Turn your phone sideways while using an app that supports sideways view.
Check if the "rotate display" icon appears.
The reason I am asking is because the "rotate display" icon no longer shows up for me after updating to Android 13.
