After unlocking the bootloader and installing MIUI 9 STABLE on my Mi Note 2 from xiaomi.eu , after a few weeks an icon to access the SIM Toolkit has shown in my app drawer, I have no need for it so I'm wondering if there is any way of getting rid of the icon / shortcut to it, I know it can't be completely removed as it's necessary for the phone to function properly, any help is appreciated, thanks!

Same here. I'm very pleased with my new Mi Note 2 global ROM (6G RAM, 128G storage) and the MIUI 9.5 in general. Just a couple tiny little minor things annoy a little bit like this one, the SIM Toolkit icon jumps to its 'regular' place on the home screen(s) with every reboot. Also, Still didn't find a complete satisfying MIUI dark theme, the official one isn't complete IMO as well.

Sorry for the late reply, this part of the forum was giving me error 404 for a while, glad to know it's not just me with this issue, weirdly enough I have 3 more of these phones, belonging to family members and the exact same ROM yet the SIM Toolkit didn't show up for them after rebooting, as for the theme I use Paper World, it's a Dynamic / Animated theme I guess? There's a few things that text is black in grey boxes but it isn't much of a deal, unfortunately the official Black theme from Xiaomi is somewhat broken, sometimes if very lucky after restarting it gets applied correctly, aside these I've yet to find any other good ones, if you can't download themes, etc, it may be due to having the MI App installed and doing updates to the apps, cleaning the Themes app cache returns it to factory and the Themes, wallpapers become available again, Xiaomi updated most apps so they don't work out of China due to privacy policy issues, as for the SIM Toolkit showing up in the apps we may have to wait for the MIUI 10 which is Beta stage, I will give it a shot when it's Stable!

The Honor 8 Pro runs the feature packed EMUI system. This user interface has all sorts of hidden gems that can really improve your experience with this phone. Here are some of my favorite.
Screen Recording
The built in screen recording features saves you from having to install a third-party app. Hold the Volume up and Power button to trigger the screen recording feature.

Phone Manager
The phone manager app has many different optimizations to speed up your phone, as well as security features like virus scan and app lock.
Themes
The theme manger is easy to use while having plenty of customization options to get your phone looking exactly how you want it.
Home Screen Settings
EMUI lets you change the icon grid, screen animations, badge icons and much more.
What is your favorite feature of EMUI?
First thing to do is to disable "App suggestions".
I am totally fed up with being "suggested" what to do. I have a brain and intend to continue using it.
The whole business of looking at what we do in order to sell us more is reaching a point where the world gets divided into sheep who will do what they are told and people who still want to use their own judgement, investigate and find things by themselves. I aim to remain part of the "people" group.
Sorry about the rant but it's getting out of control.
Hii @DrGreenway
I think I saw you at Honor 8 forums
Just a question to ask
Did you own a Honor 8 and is the Pro a good upgrade??
And what is the diference between EMUI 5.0 and 5.1
Couse the things you said as best features of 5.1 are mostly present in EMUI 5.0 and Honor 8
Maybe from me to add that if you are on lock screen and swipe UP from the very bottom
you get some shortcuts ( on Honor 8 )
And it includes a default bar code scanner.. not much but I usually used to install it from play store
As promised here: https://www.xda-developers.com/sonys-xperia-z3-z4-tablet-and-z5-series-get-updated-to-android-7-1-1/
yes, it is already running on my Xperia Z5 P. just today installed, testing it!
So far so good, improve performance.

Apart from all the circular icons everywhere?
They do however not appear to support long press on icons on the homescreens (on 7.1 they should produce a submenu)

The quick settings panel now shows 6 settings instead of 5, and the settings gear-icon now shows without expanding the panel entirely.
Did you get this as an OTA?
I have seen nothing yet ...
I have had it for a week or so. My tablet now runs very sluggish and needs rebooting several times a day to free it up.
Reports from others are a bit thin on the ground. So I shall wait a while and see what happens but this is not acceptable so far.
Mine was running sluggish too (no upgrade) the last few days - especially the touchscreen, I tried clearing the cache from a number of apps ... no real change. I rebooted into safe mode - and it seemed to run OK - I then made a simple reboot ... some unexplained changes to launcher and keyboard then seen ... but once I changed those back to my preferred ones, it seems to be running OK again now. I guess there was "something" running in the background hogging all of the processing power.

There is an interesting observation here
https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...mance-issues-after-nougat-update/td-p/1245802
can anyone upload for lte model
Hi all,
Since updating to Oreo, data activity in the WiFi and Mobile Data icons have been moved to the left side of the icon, instead of showing inside. This causes all my icons on the left to shift every time there is data activity. Any way to turn mobile data activity off? Or at the very least revert the icon to the Nougat one?
Screenshot for explanation:

Edit: I have a Pixel 2 XL too. There's no icon blinking data activity on this phone.
I haven't found a way to access that yet, and it is a small annoyance for sure. I prefer it inside the icon, just like battery percentage.

Yeah, I prefer battery percentage to be inside too. Doesn't annoy me as much as this though.
This has come up on several threads already. Can we almagamte to raise the issue?
I have disabled the icon using UI tuner as it is constantly shifting the other icons to the left. Interesting that it's not present on Pixel.
It really seems like Xiaomi have rushed out this update to keep to their promised schedule. Hopefully we will receive a major patch soon to fix this and all the other bugs/rendering issues

The Pixel 2 XL just doesn't show when there's data activity. Battery % is also outside the icon on the Pixel 2 XL. There's no Nougat for the Pixel 2 XL so I don't have a basis for comparison on that phone. I assume the change of the icon functionality is from Nougat to Oreo, but A1 is the only phone on Oreo right now which shows data activity, hence this issue.
Bump
Anyone has any solution to this?
I've updated my device to Android Oreo (AOSP Extended) and immediately noticed the new "design choices", which led to the following problem:

That's how it looks like, when I'm trying to download an app using Google Playstore. The progress bar, the name of the app (which is showing the notification) and its icon are completely missing, is there any way to fix this?! Unfortunately I didn't find any way to change the background colour - it would be even better to get rid of the new "everything is white" design, but I would be already happy, if I could at least read my notifcations ^^
I have already spent way too much time searching for a solution, but I didn't find anything (except installing Subtratum Theme Engine, which seems to be a bit unreasonable for just changing the background colour), so you're my last hope

You don't like the new design? It's called Ultra Minimalistic Material. Deal with it, it'll grow on you soon. Besides you should know what's in the notification by now...
jokes aside, just use AEX 5.6. It worked flawlessly. You can also change color on both the rom you have and 5.6, just go to Settings - Display - more
Hello
Since I bought the Note 9 I have a theme bug in the message app, the themes that try to change the messages bubbles don't do it anymore.
And the result is quite dirty: I get messages written white on white !
Do someone have the same issue or am I alone ?
This is what it should look like:

This is what I get:
I contacted Samsung but they don't seem to knoz what I should do
Do you use night mode? It break themes.. Or maybe substratum?

You can't use night mode with themes on. They cancel out each other now.
What android version are you on? If you're on Pie but you're installing a theme and the homescreen screenshot in the store shows the clock widget at the Top of the screen, then that theme isn't updated for Pie as yet and will cause issues with theming.
I am still on Oreo 8.1 and frankly I don't think I will upgrade to Pie, I saw it and OneUi on my wife's S9, it is very elegant and round but all is black or white, no more colors
In fact I had the Note 8 before and it worked properly, when the Note 9 went out, I thought it would be better, with more battery, enhanced audio and so on, but basics like the themes do not work, and I am starting to regret the change.
Besides all the apps have been upgraded to their current version under Oreo

It depends on theme you use. I have themes on Pie with colours everywhere.
I tried Pie and went back to Oreo. Many dark themes, even those updated for Pie had elements that didn't work properly (white text on white backgrounds, misaligned bubble menus). Perhaps they'll improve over time.
For now, Oreo works great and many of the Pie enhancements are available through Good Lock.
And ironically, this upgrade has shown up on my phone yesterday.
Trouble is I really want to stay on Oreo
But now there is a notification about the upgrade that is bugging me and I can't get rid of it. I seached google for a solution but apparently without rooting the phone no one found a way to stop it.
It can be stopped by using an ADB command to uninstall the Software Update app.
