Custom icons don't work with EMUI 8 update

[davignell]

Ok so here's my problem.

When I bought my Huawei P10 I wanted to change the icons but I realized that the Huawei Mobile Services wasn't available in my country (Canada). So I installed the app called Emui Themes Factory and I was able to apply custom icons. I also tried the apps called Themes Manager for Huawei and Themes for Huwaei but some themes weren't applying properly. But recently, my phone updated to EMUI 8 and since then, some icons just don't change. I looked for other ways but all I can do is use a launcher or shortcut apps but I don't like those options.

So if anyone could help me I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

Apart from installing a different launcher, such as Nova launcher, I know of no other way

Is it the China only one, where you have to register with a +86(mainland China) mobile number? Did you buy the phone as a grey import?

I guess the developers will need to update their app/service for EMUI 8. Maybe worth you shooting them an email about it?

I don't know about the China only. I can't even register my phone because Huawei ID isn't available. Pretty much all the major Huawei services are not available. I did send an email to Huawei Canada about all this and they said they're gonna do something so we'll see.
