Shui8, 12 Nov 2018U got that right. About the themes, it is included Sony ... moreAlso Sony's system adds the Sony designed themes to have sounds on the notifications and other like that and Samsung doesn't have those things.

Cool they can do that.

And I can't use APKs or change their code on the P20 Pro, instead I want something ready lol XD

    KamAbdi, 10 Nov 2018Not only Sony and Huawei, but all the OEMs. Cool. Nice ... moreU got that right.

    About the themes, it is included Sony theming within dialer, sms, notification panel, systemui, settings, navigation bar, icons, lockscreen, framework system. All of that working very well for EMUI 5 & 8 devices.

    P20 pro & newer Huawei device use EMUI 8.1 and above system therefore the limited theming (only icons & lockscreen works). There are solution for that, using an apk called Substratum so that it can fully utilized the theme.

      Optimizer, 09 Nov 2018Huawei doesn't have R&D but hackers. lolNo they do have R&D and any tech company has but it's about how huge or small it could be since it's based on the success of the company's product

        Shui8, 09 Nov 2018Yup both Sony & Huawei device got pro & cons. There... moreNot only Sony and Huawei, but all the OEMs.

        Cool. Nice you did that because on themes, Sony and Samsung are the best ones because both of them have good features e.g. Sony changes everything with the theme except the dialer app and the buying how the icons will look like Samsung does on the icons and but Samsung doesn't add the sound with the themes like Sony does.
        Samsung changes the dialer app too with the theme.
        Huawei doesn't have those things on their themes because my brother bought the P20 Pro and they don't have those things

            The theme? Thats the best thing in EMUI. U can customized or download from hundreds of themes. I customized it myself from XZ3.ftf files and pick up things where appropriate. In fact i think that the best ROM are Sony UI & EMUI merge together lol. I can even use stock Xperia launcher or Nova launcer if i want to, but at the end back to EMUI stock launcher with my custom Sony UI. Stock EMUI? Yeah i hate it as everyone else did lol.

              Shui8, 08 Nov 2018Been using Z, has ghost touch issue because of barely seen ... moreI never saw those issues on my Xperia Z. Even it felt a lot from me and some falls where too strong but the phone survived even without a scratch. Also I never changed the battery but the storage became full even after transfereing the data on the SD, still it was full and that caused the system to be a little bit heavy and heat the phone but and that started in the last year, I mean my fifth year with the phone.
              The my flaps got broken in the 3rd year, after that I stopped washing the phone.
              The phone was really good and still it is.
              The heat ups from the Z5 was the cause of the SD810 not Sony. The procossor was a mess even some other phones got heat up and I remember reading that time that Qualcomm lost money and their stocks fell down.
              Every company has its own flaws and no one is perfect.
              But now the existing phones from Sony are much better than the Z series.
              But the Z series looked very prestigious. I was up set when they cancelled the Z series, I wanted them to continue the Z series and made Z6.

              I know Huawei are good and have a nice quality phones and better than many Chinese phones out there.

              Wow! How did you do that?? I thought your still using Sony not Huawei then I saw the App drawer and said that's not Sony's LOL XD

Z1 dead, cant turned on after 2 years, check on forums, seems like many customer suffer from the same problem even new battery changed. Blurred camera lens on Z2 because water evaporates from inside of the phone, confirms fail waterproofing (eventhough i dont drop to any water at all). Overheat Z5 eventhough have heatpipes. Then X performance came out, a very overprice Xperia phone with average specs. Makes the decision to not buy Sony again & tried the budget flagship Honor 8 pro. Best decision i ever made. Top notch quality both on software & hardware, but loose the waterproofing. Camera quality on it are far far better than any Xperia Z series i've used, very surprised because Honor camera sensor are smaller than 1/2.3" Xperia has. Confirms the bad image algorithm Sony applied on those phones. (Back in the days i even use Cyberian camera mod on my Z2, improved but still Honor wins). From that day i really like Huawei. Security update patch on every month until now eventhough i using Mate 10 pro now.

                Now in conclusions i still like Sony a lot because of many other aspects, but i find out that Huawei is a really great quality phones as well. I even create a custom Sony theme for my EMUI huawei phones. - https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8-pro/themes/theme-sony-xperia-xz2-premium-emui-8-0-t3827431

                  Shui8, 08 Nov 2018Before any higher IP rating can achieve in a smartphone, an... moreNo They're not welcomed because this will be a contradiction when the product itself has an IP68 rating. On top of that, it gives an indication of the phone isn't waterproofed.
                  Cool the camera is astonishing not the case but the case doesn't stop the camera's view which is a great designed cover.

                  I'm not going to defend Sony here but I had the Xperia Z for 5 years and used to wash with my tap water which is a salty water and nothing happened to the phone.
                  What came after the Z, some phone the phones in the series had good waterproof IP rating and others didn't.
                  It could be some had faulty units in them or the they weren't covered perfectly.
                  Also let's not forget the design helps the waterproofing method, the XZ2's design was perfect even if the people didn't liked it.

                  When I said experience I meant in everything they make not the waterproofing only.
                  Because the company was do technology first than some of many companies that are famous.
                  Don't look at the media, even todays products are quite good and some issues happen in their products because nothing is perfect but the media shows like Apple is more quality than Sony for example which is wrong.

                  For me personally, I think Sony, Samsung and Lg are the strongest companies out there in everything but 2 of them don't excel in marketing and not that famous.

                    KamAbdi, 08 Nov 2018No that's not making the technology to another level becaus... moreBefore any higher IP rating can achieve in a smartphone, any alternatives are welcomed. I've seen the results pics of Mate 20 pro using the protecting case, its astonishing.

                    Been experience using Sony phones, previously Z series water proofing rating are fail. Sony even had to add new watermark/terms do not put your phone underwater eventhough it has an Ip rating, after massive complains from customer that the phone are not waterproof. Things started to working well by XZ2 only.

                      Shui8, 08 Nov 2018Thats why Huawei introduce the protective case? More experi... moreNo that's not making the technology to another level because you can make the phone take on the salt water normally like developing more your IP rating. And no, if Sony would make that I wouldn't be calling Sony innovator on that and I know won't make that.

                      The meaning of a waterproof is that it can take any water not say it's a waterproof and can't handle the salt water.
                      If they want to protect the phone from salt water then why they don't increase the IP rating to IP70 and more??? Infact, all the companies should do that because the IP68 was here for a while and it needs to be changed.

                      I'm not a blind fanboy. I'm a technologist and I'm here being a neutral.
                      Honestly with the success that Huawei is having, it makes them to have a big R&D so they need to do a better method.
                      Everything should be inside of the phone and I would criticise if it was Sony who was doing that, though, I don't think so would do that.
                      I know, Huawei is the most quality Chinese phone in the world, but, they're not better than Sony and I'm not saying this a fan. I'm saying it because of the experience of the older company such like Sony does in better ways even when Apple's more popular phone the iPhone failed in the waterproof test.

                      All the phones are great but when we look into the details some phones are better than the others and it's not necessary they're popular and successful or not.

                            I own both Huawei & Sony flagship, they both are good quality phones. Experience it first, not takes thing from here & there. Stop becomes a blind fanboy.

                              All the companies said don't wash your phone with salt water or swim with it but have you looked how Sony, (LG and Huawei with flaws) and Samsung and Apple failed when they have bigger R&Ds than Sony, LG and Huawei???? Yet Huawei failed and I'm not trolling them, it's about are you a creator of technology or you do the technology ostensibly???

                                KamAbdi, 08 Nov 2018HAHAHA you don't understand what I'm saying. IP67 and IP6... morethe point is that you can't swim in the sea with any phone because of salt in water (no IP ratings for that) therefore Huawei and many others offer protective cases like this...have no idea why are you trolling about that...

                                  IP67 and IP68 are the same. You think IP67 is weak???? no it's not.
                                  In the waterproof test I was talking about it was between the iPhone X IP67, P20 Pro IP67, S9+ IP68 and XZ2 IP68.
                                  The XZ2 won so how come it wins and the others fail??
                                  Why the P20 Pro and the LG G7 didn't shutdown when its IP rating is 67 and 68 respectively, and the iPhone X shutdown with the same IP rating and the S9+ shutdown on IP68 rating??

                                      If a brand in here making a new thing, they are all wrong or copycat, if they dont... its wrong to... Unless its a fanboy comment.
                                      Cmon, grow up... Really yes.
                                      Im sure we all think a nice underwater picture with lots of colors is really awesome or?
                                      Why not enjoy new things and do not always be envious and go in small shoes, try somthing new, instead of this, me, me, me and me thingy.
