How to change the fingerprint icon and animation on the Huawei P30 Pro and Mate 20 Pro

-

The Huawei Mate 20 Pro and the Huawei P30 Pro are two very awesome devices that, aside from being flagship devices powered by the Kirin 980 processor and running EMUI, also happen to be phones with lots of features in tow, such as awesome cameras, wireless charging, curved displays, and more. They serve as a testament to Huawei’s abilities in the premium spectrum, and they’re evidently very high-end phones. But one feature that they also happen to carry is an under-display fingerprint sensor: they were actually among the first phones to be launched with such biometric technology, which became mainstream with high-end devices and some mid-range smartphones throughout 2019 and well into 2020.

The fingerprint sensor used in these phones is optical, which means that it needs light in order to pick up your fingerprint properly. As such, the fingerprint sensor’s area lights up whenever it’s going to recognize a fingerprint, often also triggering a fancy animation. You probably haven’t thought about modifying them or customizing them, but as it turns out, it is entirely possible for both phones by following a simple guide in our forums, if this is something that you would be interested in doing. This will only work for Huawei’s always-on display and not for the lock screen animation.

Most of these animations are based on the ones of other phones or they’re entirely custom, and feature a bright circle in the middle which is what your phone uses for picking up your fingerprint. There are some animations, however, that don’t feature this circle, at least from the GIF previews in the forum posts. While I haven’t tried them personally and thus can’t confirm this, it sounds like some of the designs could hamper the fingerprint sensor’s functionality, since it is, after all, an optical sensor. It can easily be reverted if this is the case, though.

Head over to our forums for instructions on how to do this.

Motorola’s foldable Razr phone may be announced before year’s end

-
While Samsung’s saga with the Galaxy Fold appears to finally be coming to an end , there are other foldables destined to be released soon. The Huawei Mate X is the other big name, but it has been delayed a couple of times as well. The other foldable device that we’ve heard about a few times is the rumored Motorola Razr reboot, and a new report claims an announcement is coming this year still. Earlier this year, reports suggested Motorola would launch its foldable phone this summer. That time has come and gone without a peep from Motorola, but a new report claims it’s still coming this year. This information comes from a person close to the company speaking to CNET . It’s unlikely that the device will actually be sold this year, but we should at least see the device before 2020. Motorola has already confirmed that they are working on a foldable smartphone. The “Razr” name was also confirmed by a Bluetooth certification. We exclusively reported on the specifications of the device ,...

Behind Dynamic System Updates in Android Q: How Google is using Project Treble to improve future Android releases

-
Image
Alongside the release of Android 8.0 Oreo, Google unveiled Project Treble : a major rearchitecting in the way the Android OS framework and the vendor HALs and Linux kernel communicate. Treble is a major initiative designed to reduce Android platform version and security patch fragmentation , and all Android-branded devices launching with Android Pie are required to support Project Treble. OEMs and vendors test Treble compatibility by booting a Generic System Image (GSI)—a pure stock build of Android from AOSP—and passing the Vendor Test Suite (VTS) and Compatibility Test Suite-on-Generic System Image (CTS-on-GSI). The GSI has proven useful in not only allowing software engineers working for OEMs test Treble compatibility, but it has also opened the door for a large custom ROM community on XDA. For the Android Q release, Google wants to make GSIs useful for another group: app developers. Since the first stable release and source code drop of any given Android platform release usual...
