I noticed now that when I try to play a video that I recorded I get the error Unspecified media player error. Any hints on which app it could be?

Yes, the Huawei Video Player is the responsable :)

Reinstall it and you will be OK :)

Thanks for prompt reply :)
Yeah I installed it from Playstore and now is working fine. I was searching if some app in the list was related to video and I did not find it so I suppose it has been uninstalled because related to one of the apps in the list or it's me that I don't remember uninstalling it?

It was com.huawei.himovie.overseas (HUAWEI Video) that was removed using ADB :).

In your future debloats, exclude it from your list :p

Huawei Gallery app is installed? Try clearing data / cache, also clear it on camera app. Hiview is for something else, for barcodes, translating or searching on-line for shops.

One tip which works for my P30 Pro.
I doesn't like this AI Touch which always stucks on display when I longer press with two fingers on photos (Instagram etc).

You can disable it with the command:
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.hitouch

Works perfect for me. And thanks for this Thread..love it!

You can't root unless you have an unlock bootloader code to unlock it. And since Huawei isn't giving unlock codes for almost 2 years, i doubt you can get one ?
And how about "Huawei Multi-Tool"?
They say they can unlock bootloader and install TWRP.
I just saw this tool in Honor 8 forum.

P30 Pro has a different processor vs Honor 8 or other Honor devices. Huawei MultiTool isn't recognising VOG/ELE devices or newer ones...

For more info, check their webpage https://pro-teammt.ru/en/multi-tool-huawei-honor/ & Extended Supported models
