App Notifications [APP] Change any notification sound for any app, EMUI 8.1 - Huawei P20 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods

I'm sharing another Tasker made app with one simple purpose: get you into the hidden App Notifications menu so you can change notification sounds. As many of you know this menu is not accessible through system settings. There are many methods of accessing it, including Nova, Tasker, or other shortcut managers but they all require work and a bit of knowledge. This app makes it simple for anyone. Even advanced users may find it handy.
It does not require root or any special privilege. Simply launch the app to enter the App Notification menu. This accesses the built in Android notification management system and is simply the best way to manage your notification settings.
Please hit thanks if you find it useful ?
(Because of the nature of this workaround it will only work on the official EMUI 8.1 release for now. No custom ROM or beta support, sorry. Once I've updated to 9 I'll share the new fix if necessary. I have Canadian L04 model though and updates happen here slowly)

Not working for me (P20 Pro EMUI 9 Beta). App doesn't launch when tapped.

Works perfect. Oreo

I don't have 9 yet but I'd assume you'll find it in settings under Notifications where it should be. AFAIK it was unintentionally left out in 8.1 which is why we had trouble. If it's included in 9 a simple search through settings should reward you. ?

Works perfect, thanks!

Works perfect.

Broken link
Hi,
I see link to the apk if broken, i could not download the app.
Does this fix work also for P10 running EMUI 8.0 ?

The link is working for me, try downloading from another browser maybe. I have no idea if it will run on the P10 but it might. If it does please report back so we can share with P10 users too. ?

This apk is totally useless. It's a joke? The same you can get if you just go to the notifications.

Apparently you do not understand what we're trying to accomplish. You cannot change notification sounds in the menu you refer to in EMUI 8, only turn them off. But there is a secret hidden menu that allows to change any notification sound for any app you like. It may look similar to the one you are thinking of but if you know what you're doing it is very different, there are far more options available. You cannot get to this menu by any other means than sending an intent, whether via command, a shortcut from a launcher or an app like I've shared. Trust me, there is a purpose for this or I wouldn't have so many thanks for it already. But if you're okay with having the same notification sound for every single app on your phone that's cool too. Whatever floats your boat. ?

We can use Nova Launcher to create a shortcut that link to this Notification settings in this thread.

You can use Nova Launcher to do this, yes. Other methods all involve installing a shortcut creation app of some kind and finding the correct settings entry. This app is for people who do not use Nova or would prefer a simple method with the hard work done for them. It's a pain digging through all those settings entries if you don't need to. ?

This app saved my sanity after switching from a LG G5 to the P20 Pro. Many thanks!

I'm sorry, but to change the sound for any app I go to config/applications/aplications/ choose the application I want then manage notification then sound and choose what I want... Using pie with a L29. I came from a custom pie rom on an oneplus 2 and, as i remember, I use to do it like that also... Did I missed something? Sorry about my English.

If I understand your question correctly you can only hide apps if you use the Standard Homescreen, not the Drawer version.
Following this you only need to put two fingers on the homescreen and pull them apart. If it doesn't work (like it did for me) try this app.

seaching for shortcut app working on OREO

QuickShortcutMaker doesn’t work on OREO.
Has anyone found a working app for creating shortcuts on OREO?
at the moment, only NovaLauncher creating function seems to work-
with all other tested apps i can’ get visible shortcuts!:crying:
What do you mean by a shortcut? I mean you can already launch any application from the home screen, so what do you want a shortcut to?
I would try KWGT Kustom Widget Maker it has a lot of flexibility. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kustom.widget&hl=en
If you want to create a shortcut to a specific file, you can use the native file manager that include the stock rom.

no, not this kind of links.
There are many other linkable functions in the stock firmware which are not available without those links!.
Before OREO , i was able to set this links with several apps like QuickShortCutMaker app.
Unfortunately after upgrading to OREO, those apps doesn’t work any longer.
Only the nova-launcher seems to be able to set this links now..
But maybe, someone of you knows another well working app for it.
So, this was my question.
some links of it:
.Settings$BatterySaverSettingsactivity
.UsageStatsActivity
you can find this functions with all available apps, but they can not create a link to the home screen!
ok, request can be closed.
I have found this app -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.moreshortcuts&hl=us
This app IS able to set shortlinks on OREO / EMUI 8!
omg
Thanks a lot. Very useful!
I created shortcut but when I click it nothing happens.

configure customizable button

Hello is it possible to configure the customizable button Honor 8 (button behind the fingerprint sensor) as we see fit, what I want to say is that I want to configure it so that a support corresponds to the change of the music . Thank you

Idk about that
You could probably try to use a third-party app to configure it (somehow like what people did with the Bixby button on Galaxy devices).
I had the same problem and posted this. Check it out. Hope it helps your need.

You can do in custom ROM. However for stock you can try All-one-Gestures app from Play Store.

Display Notification icons [Settings] [No Root] [No App]

[Update]: Turns out this is a new feature in MIUI 10 8.10.18 global beta.
To enable go to settings->notifications->show incoming notifications
Please ignore the below.
-------------------------------------------------------------
This is my first post, please don't mind any amateur mistakes.
I was going through the settings and found that turning off MIUI optimisation in developer settings will enable notification icons getting displayed in clock region.
I have tested this in MIUI 10 8.10.18 beta version. It'll be good if few people can test this in stable version and post the results.
Procedure
1) Enable developer options by clicking MIUI version 7 times.
2) go to Additional settings->Developer options.
3) Scroll to the end and disable MIUI optimisation.
Optional
1) Disable notify about high risk features. This will turn off annoying notifications stating to enable MIUI Optimisation.
2) Set the display size to small for better looks.
Below are the screenshots of the settings and the notification icons getting displayed.
Please feel free to comment your opinions.
Cons:
Need to provide app permissions again for few apps.
Some of the UI won't look good (limited to app info and settings app) trade-off
Reserved
Already did it , but still show clock instead of notifications icons?
and also unable to remove high risk feature notification.

It'll display when you unlock the phone for few seconds.
Did you enable developer options? Strange i was able to disable it.
Which version of MIUI are you at?

I have not done any modifications. Maybe something is wrong.
I'm on 8.10.18 and notifications are displayed normally inside clock region. I didn't fiddle around with any settings, just updated and set up my own region (Croatia), everything is working as it should finally.

How to force change Launcher on M30p (default apps doesn't work)

Hello to the lucky ones who have their m30p with google play...
Just wondering, were you able to change the Launcher on your phones to replace EMUI 10 Launcher?
I read here and there, that Huawei blocked third party launchers on the chinese variants of their phones (from EMUI 8)... is this true? Is it possible to make it work via ADB on this EMUI 10?
I haven't got mine yet, but so far my research is no, you can't. There are other apps to disable packages, I will try them but so far it is not positive.
Back to your question, if that is true. Yes, it is.
They blocked that due to fraud replaces their stock launcher with a mock one that have ads or malicious behaviors and sell it to ppl who are not techy.
I thought that excuse is lame since there are other default apps to replace.
mine is not here until Monday. I think i have read in the forums that the stock can disabled with ADB.
ADB does not work for me...
pm uninstall gives the [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]
suggestions welcome

Doesn't work for me still, but if it will eventually - could you kindly explain what settings you changed?
And what you proceeded to do to remove the stock launcher? (Regular adb uninstall method?)
Thanks!

Sorry I didn't change stock launcher I was speaking in regards to the project menu( didn't seem to always appear but will eventually.
I have done all of this but the app says cant disable/uninstall the Huawei home apk contact us for more support
I've spent a lot of time trying to get round this on my Mate 30 Pro.
I've tried every vector I can think of and no dice yet sadly!
Today I had update 132 on my LIO AL00 and now I can use Nova launcher as the default launcher.
IGNORE THAT . When it rebooted after update it asked me if I wanted to use Nova or Hauwei Home.. Now its defaulted back to Huawei Home and no option for Nova
Anyone? I'm almost going to sell it just because I cant have Nova as default launcher?

You can't on the china version but on the international you can change the default launcher.
I don't think there is a solution as of now, maybe we have to live with default Huawei launcher for some time.
