    Download either Nova launcher or Google launcher better overall than the standard launcher

    Took me while to get it right

    P9 has knuckle touch - use your knuckle to double tap the screen to take a screen shot

    No. It should just work. Just use your smaller knuckle and tap twice fast.

    Use same knuckle to take a snip from your screen. Draw a circle with your knuckle on any screen and you will see what I mean.

    Do these work on the p9?
    Just reading online and it says that the p9 settings are all over the place so the other launchers don't work. Is the huawei skin that comes with this phone that bad

    I've been using Nova since day one with no issues at all ,
    Only thing I don't like is the apps drawer is done vertically rather than separate pages horizontal .

    Didn't like the original UI at all just didn't seem to do what i wanted

    I've been using Nova from day one also. It's great.

    I'm a much bigger fan of the vertical scroll that the horizontal so it suits me to the ground. I use the skins from the Huawei themer but the icons stay as the default nova icons which annoys me a little.

    Hi All

    Just wondering if people who bought P9 unlocked have received Nougat update? Mine was bought as present but from China website, unlocked but no update yet.
