Google picking up a feature from EMUI in upcoming Nougat 7.1 release - Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

Google plans to introduce a new gesture to open the notification shade using the fingerprint in Android 7.1 release
You’ll be able to swipe down your finger on the fingerprint sensor to pull down the notification shade, and swipe up to close it.
Devices like those made by Huawei or its brand Honor has this feature implemented already. But it's interesting that Google will be picking it up as a Nougat feature.
In the animation, we can see that it works. Just swipe down on the scanner, and your notification tray will descend.

Like Apple now learning from Android a lot, different Androids learn from each other as well.
But I'm never a gesture person... I don't use gestures at all..

I agree, it is a feature that all should adapt, makes life much easier with single hand handling..
funny, I have an honor 8, but can't seem to activate this feature. Is there any settings to it? or is mine faulty

I dont have Honor 8. I use it in my 5X.
I dont see any setting to enable that in my 5X.
Swiping up, down, left and right works well with any fingerprint and is not restricted to the registered fingerprint.

Annoying feature which makes me swipe it down by mistake when touching the sensor. Feature off at all times.

Wow. I hope to see this in AOSP based ROMs soon.

If you don't see it in Settings, then it is not present in EMUI of Honor 8.

screens only show next UI's features, they are not taken from next LG's flagship.
God their ui is a mess.
guys look this
https://www.twitter.com/xach24/status/696000162381041664?p=v

			
				
so.. as expected all UI changes mentioned earlier are there on G5
.
Design is very subtle, really pretty. I like it very much
The design of the UI is something like Samsung Android 6.0 Touchwiz with white accents.
Now without the app drawer (I like it because my home screen is always empty so the home screen is useless for me and settings app looks more cleaner but they bloated with a tons of features that you use it for first time and then not use it at all.
Some people will use these features daily but the average Joe will just use the phone like any other phone. OEM needs some work to advertise these new features when you buy a new phone and the most common thing is to have it enabled by default like the active display otherwise no average user will ding down in settings to see what features does this phone has. Some will some not.

I've been seeing mentions of Dual Window being removed. Not cool.
I really like where they're going with the g5. Kinda tired of getting a flagship that just has a processor updates, some hardware updates, and maybe a few gadget apps. This modular thing could really come in handy. Seems like the options could be endless to what module they or third party can make. And wireless charging, I'm sure LG or a third party come up with something. I'll bite!

I think the only reason would be that there weren't many apps that could be used with this dual windows mode. And some rumors said that the Android N will bring us dual windows mode so it would be better and more useful (for many other apps).

Update Zip to enable DT2W on Huawei / Honor devices

If you are using a Huawei / Honor device without DT2W (double tap to wake), you can enable it using this zip file (apply from TWRP).

we need a kernel to support dt2w
I tried it, the option shows in settings but only DT2S works on lockscreen. When i try to DT2W nothing happens. Probably kernel related. I know that we have fingerprint for unlock...but could be nice to use this feature, after all almost every huawei device has it. We have to hope in a custom kernel...someday
I use the 'ALWAYS ON DISPLAY' app from the playstore, supports dt2w, a feature I've grown quite faint of since owning a LG before this phone... It's a way to get it back plus the always on display from the s7/s8

Hi there,
How much does it shorten the battery life? Obviously the phone is not sleeping when this is on and unlike oled, the LCD requires backlight to be on to work.
Also can you choose another style? I'd like something more minimalistic if I were to use it.
I too would like to know how much battery resorses this app needs?
Please tell us more about your experiance with this app and dt2w
It does have several other modes, some of which are definitely more minimal...
As for battery life I can't really complain of a huge difference. Especially with root because this app works great in conjunction with Greenify, also helps to keep the brightness turned down low, and pocket mode enabled (turns screen off when proximity sensor is covered). All in all it does seem to very from day to day tho. Some days I can't even tell that it's affected my battery life whatsoever, and some days I can tell that it does somewhat. But never go the point that I reconsider it's worth. To me it's a no Brainer!
Thanks @BigBrad75

I use Samsung's default messaging and you can tell the version by going to Settings -> Display and wallpaper -> Always on display -> About always on display
It should be 1.4.02, yours looks like it's not up to date.
From the About always on display menu there should be an option to update if it's not up to date

Thanks for the quick reply! Yeah that's why I'm not getting notifications on it, I use textra. At least the led still lights up. Yeah mine was outdated, I thought it needed a system update to update not just the app itself.

So, no idea when there will be official release, but it seems stable. It is very similar to the P10's firmware at this point.
Update: The chinese version includes Google Play Services out of the box. Interesting.
Then Huawei's statement about "Phones on EMUI 5.0 won't be getting 5.1" is utter bull****? Nice going there Huawei! >< Are there any changes in the Camera App, enabling the Pro Video mode? Would you mind seeing how it does the GPS, with Galileo as well? Does it see more, then 1 EU satellite?

Thanks, work with that German fella from the GPS thread to log the output and see if it's changed. To test the camera, well try zooming 1.1x and see if the quality and sharpness improves. Was a 'bug' on some firmwares.
any idea when is going to be available for the chinese version non rooted?
Do you know if it will include Android 7.1.2 for final release??
i was comparing emui 5.1 to my mate 9 pro emui 5.0 and i don't really see any visual differences. even the new gestures on one hand ui is already in emui 5.0.

Yes, I am specifically looking to have the ability of
Hiding apps,
Removing the navigation bar when using the navigation circle,
Double tap when driving,
Customisation,
Better Dock and home screen,
and Softtouch
as this gem is capable of all of them. Otherwise for a few "Bugs fixed" and "Security patches" wouldn't wanna see another 1GB of storage and memory wasted.
Plus the Chinese version has a different story and nothing to do with the international version. That is why it matters.

Aod , always on display, ambient ?

I see marketing photos with, in my opinion, aod, but then no words about in reviews or in NYC event.
So, does 6t have always on display with time, notification icons, weather maybe? Why OnePlus excluded this info under specs...?
There’s no AOD.
Just an improved ambient display with few more option like pick up the phone or tap the screen and shown ambient display.

I turned it off on my pixel 2 just to adapt to it before getting the op6t. You just have to double tap to bring the screen up. It's not optimal but you don't have to pick up your phone just to see notifications.
On the other hand if you're far away that's a different story. Either way I'd still order AOD to no AOD.

Yes, they did on OnePlus 6 Oreo, but not yet on Pie
I heard the Magisk module prevents the phone from going into deep sleep so if that is the case, Magisk is not an option.
I don't know much about AOD, but doesn't it prevent deep sleep on all other devices?
With root and the correct rro framework overlay in vendor, we could theoretically have it working. I got it working on the essential, which doesn't offer it either by porting the file from a gsi.
wouldnt AOD cause screen burnin with the op6t since the fingerprint sensor logo is static?
Has anyone tried the AOD apps on the playstore
