Hello,
As you may know, Android 6 has a hidden feature, called System UI Tuner. This can be enabled by long-pressing the Settings icon in the top-right corner of the notifications bar. Once enabled, a new section appears in Settings, called "System UI Tuner". I think Developer mode must be enabled too for this to work, and animations must be on.
But on the S7 Edge, this doesn't seem to work. Tried to long-press that icon, and nothing. Animations are on, developer mode is enabled.
Did anyone succeed in enabling this ?
Thanks !

Not sure why you want that, since touchwiz ui already supports everything from there.. Imo

Really ? How can I remove icons from the status bar, like the Bluetooth icon even when it is enabled, for example, and have more room for notification icons ?

System UI Tuner isn't available on Touchwiz. Samsung removed it. However, I'm guessing most of you upgraded to Android Nougat, but for those of you who haven't should get this app called Good Lock.
Good Lock is an app made by Samsung that actually replaces the System UI on your phone, and will make it almost stock Android. I sure you still won't find System UI Tuner by holding the Settings button, but I sure that there is a setting in the Good Lock Settings menu to do so. My thought is that the Good Lock Settings Menu is their version of System UI Tuner.
You can find Good Lock in the Galaxy Store, but if it is not there for whatever reason, then just sideload it from this link here.
(apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/good-lock/good-lock-24-0-16-release/good-lock-24-0-16-android-apk-download)
--enter the link without the brackets, xda won't allow me to post links until I have made 10 posts--
I'm not sure if this will work in Nougat, as in the website it said that the minimum version of Android is Marshmallow, and the maximum version of Android is Marshmallow.
If you are willing to take the risk, try it and let us know if it will work.
Hope I helped!
It is pretty much impossible
You can't enable it Samsung and other companies have disabled it in manufacturing
How to enable system UI tuner in Samsung j5 prime
Go here and try it. I did get it working on my s7 edge non rooted but I recently had to do a factory reset and I can't get it to work. https://www.recovery-android.com/tips/access-system-ui-tuner-s7.html
i think this would be a better decision as it wouldnt require a computer.

simply enable with adb once and you can tweak your phone anywhere without having to use a computer
Feedback Thread: Tell Honor What You Want in Future Software Updates!
How is everyone enjoying their Honor 8? I was curious about what everyone wanted to see in future updates or maybe the next version of the phone.
Some things I'd like to see
Android 7.0
App Drawer
More Theme Options
Power plan scheduler as said by @Droiderr at http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/power-plan-scheduler-t3482030
App drawer,
Good reflective design aesthetics,
Better RAM Management without closing more recently used apps,
Default VoLTE support and support for all LTE bands in that region.
I would like to see android 7.0 for sure
And I know it may just be me but I would like the phone on just standard android not emui.
My only other gripe is ram management and the way it handles closing recent apps.
To use smart keys for home, back or app switch
1. Better screen calibration by default.
2. Double tap the screen to wake.
3. Extend the functionality of the smart key. Eg. -While the screen is on, tapping on the fingerprint will function as back key. This is usefull for app that use full screen such as browser.
-Tap and hold to turn off the screen. This is a feature that is available on meizu device which is very useful. No need to press, just tap and hold the fingerprint and boom the screen turn off.
4. Performance and smart powerplan shortcut on the shortcuts tab. Might as well add 720p(rog mode) toggle.
5. Better camera interface. The current interface seriously need some redesign! Why the hdr is seperated from auto mode? The pro/manual mode uses ring adjustments which is annoying. Why not a simpler like a straight horizontal line for focus,exposure time,wb,iso adjustment?
6. Fix the damn camera settings! Whenever I open up the pro mode, the auxiliary light always turned on. It doesnt save my setting! Same goes to the image adjustment.
1080p stabilization without losing so much quality of the video. It looks worse than a normal 720p video.. and ability to zoom in the videos with using all the 12mp sensor, not just 'software zoom'
7.0
Better ram management
Better notifications! Quick reply from notification shade, not just in heads up.
Lockscreen improvements, reply from lockscreen
Update themes from theme app. So I don't have to go download the updates themes and put them in theme folder
I would like to see Android 7.0.1 as soon as possible.
Need to be able to change the notification volume independently of the ring volume, just like on my old Galaxy S5. Notifications should be on the volume list with its own slider!
center clock mod.
ambient display and double tap to wake.

Is anyone from Huawei aware of this thread?
I agree with everyone! This is a great phone but EMUI 5.0 update needs to come soon!
Something that hasn't been mentioned is discarding of notifications on the lock screen, e.g. swipe to the right.

Emui 5.
Nougat release.
It seems like the official Nougat builds are really horrible when it comes to notifications. I no longer have the option to turn on the display when receiving a notification, which is huge. But on top of that, I don't seem to get any notifications on the lock screen at all, or "heads up" notifications (the notifications that drop down from the top of the screen while it's on temporarily). Am I wrong? Have others gotten this stuff working? I am on AL10.
Well I got lock screen stuff going, it was just defaulting to disabled. But there seems to be no option to wake the display for notifications.

Hi,
I have NXT-AL10. Just got the phone 2 days back and I installed Android Nougat 7.0 directly from Huawei using Huawei ID.
I found a setting that may be the one or at least close to it.I also checked if the notification is displaying on the lock screen and it does. I have attached the screenshots.
When I unlock the phone and check the notifications they are there until I swipe them out. They are displayed beautifully. Unfortunately taking screenshot of that was bit difficult as the knuckle thing didn't work so well. I managed to get these. Hope this is what you are looking for.
Cheers!

I had an issue similar to this on 6.0, it was an issue with themes. Do you have anything under the screen lock style menu, under screen lock and passwords? I have a feeling thats my issue.

Hi,
I checked under screen lock and passwords
options listed are
password, secure lock settings , smart unlock - under the subheading of "passwords"
under "lock screen"
screen lock style, magazine unlock and lock screen signature
under screen lock style
it just displays magazine unlock and when you click that it displays the same wallpaper and asks to apply.
under "magazine unlock settings"
subscriptons, auto-update over WLAN and auto-delete covers
There is a separate application called "Themes" and it shows all the themes. They all look alike but there is no download or edit options available. Even if we want to change or edit those themes, it seems like root is required. Are you rooted?
I have enclosed more screenshots to explain better. Hope you find what you are looking for, if I missed something please let me know if you want screenshot of any other menu or screen.
Cheers!

Is there any way to enable sRGB in Emui?The option for it shows up when I search in settings, but when I press the search result, I get redirected to developer options, where it is nowhere to be found. The setting is obviously there, but I guess Huawei has disabled it or something? I hate these over saturated colors!
Nice, yet unsatisfying find! Would love to have sRGB enabled as well. It was my preferred mode on S7 as well.

Ok. From what I understand, the mate 9 pro covers 100% of the NTSC color gamut which is higher than sRGB gamut. So what that means is that colors are true to life as displayed on the screen. There should be no reason to choose sRGB even if available as an option.
Source of this info is on the huawei website.
I sent them an email, here is the answer:
"We are happy to hear that you are satisfied with your new phone, despite that you can't activate sRGB. For now, it is unfortunately like this that the possibility for sRGB is still not in the system. It might come in a new update, but we can not make any promises that it will. We are sorry for that. Regards Huawei Support Jörgen"
Hi,
Does anyone know a way to increase the size of the icons and text in the status bar and possibly change the colour as well?
I know the size can be changed at Settings > Display > View mode, but I find the size quite small even at the largest setting.
The small text and icon size is just made worse by the adaptive colour behaviour, which always sets the hue of the colour the same as the background, (ie. light green for Google Play, light red for Gmail).
As if Huawei was trying to hide what the status bar shows, which kind of defeats the purpose.
Just for comparison, here are some screen-shots from my P10 Plus and from another phone running stock Android (both are on Oreo).
Note that while the stock droid's text and display size is set to Default/Defaullt respectively, the P10 is set to Default/Large (which is as large as it gets for the status bar, since on the P10 plus "text size" has no influence on it).
Any help is appreciated.
Thank You.
Is it really impossible?
Well, from the absolute lack of responses I must conclude, that what I would like is just impossible.
Or am I asking at the wrong place?
Anyone?
Thank You.

If You find any solution or a workaround, please let me know.
I was thinking, that perhaps an app with a widget that can replicate the function and behaviour of the status bar would do the trick, but I could not find one.
(Or perhaps, HUAWEI could just stop being stupid, and make a status/notification bar, that is NOT trying to hide its own content.
Anyone reading XDA from Huawei?)
I agree, it's really hard to see most of the time.

It"s a nice app, but unfortunately it does not solve the problem.
It only lets you select different icons for Wifi, Signal and Battery.
It does not modify the size or colour behaviour of status bar.
But, thanks for the tip, anyway!

Still not fixed with EMUI 10
I share the frustrations of people on this thread but was confident that the new release would sort it out. Sadly not
I just updated my P30 Pro to EMUI 10 and ... same. It's not just that it is not configurable but that the only size is so small. Am I really going to have to root this phone just so that I can read the status bar?

The only way to increase the font and icon size is install another Launcher instead of using EMUI. Huawei really lock down the screen option badly. Try Nova launcher or Microsoft launcher (it is free).
I wish it was that simple

Unfortunately, You are wrong.
It's about the status/notification bar. Launchers can't change that.
Besides , EMUI is not the launcher on Huawei devices, it's much more than that.

There was me, hoping EMUI 10.1 would fix it.... Nope
I found a bare app for this issue on my vivo device but not perfect. The "Super status bar" app makes all text lager enough than they are. But this app doesn't work properly for all devices. It didnt work at 1st but i could get it work by trying repeatedly. The accessibility permission couldnt keep switch on and goes off itself. But when i switch on repeatedly many times later it didnt went off and app worked. But after the latest system update the app stopped for me. So if you could get work this app then don't do further update system as it may disable the app.
Also there're some limitations of this status bar app for ex. no data speed indicator. But for that i used another speed indicator app to show net speed on super status bar. Signal indicator shows bit of signal when there is no signal. The signal type G, E, 4G, LTE only shows only when data is switched on. Yet the time, battery and other common text are big enough on super status bar. Sometimes the paid version may better. There're some gestures also in the app for ex you can set call volume etc by sliding through the status bar and tapping status bar can show power manu etc. You can try it...
Unfortunately i cannot mention the link of Super status bar app as it not allowed here. You can search it by name in play store as "Super status bar". A green color app icon..
