How to Make the Huawei P20 Look Like Stock Android

**Making Your Phone Look Like Stock Android**

To make your phone look like stock Android, we're going to go through a few settings changes and install some alternative apps that mimic the official Android experience. First, let's start with the desktop theme. We need to select the rounded theme from the search bar style options. This will ensure that our phone has a consistent look and feel.

Once we've selected the rounded theme, we'll scroll down and make sure we have the multicolored accent between G and other colors. Next, we'll head to the app and widget drawers and turn on swipe to open. Then, we need to turn on search bar and dock, and choose below as our default settings.

Now that we've set up some of the basic settings, let's make sure everything looks consistent. We'll go to look and feel and select adaptive icon style, with rounded icons. Make sure to also turn on legacy apps to ensure compatibility with older apps.

**Stock Messaging App**

To get a stock messaging app, we can search for "Android Messages" in the Play Store. The developer of this app is Google Inc, and it's available for installation. Once installed, open the app and follow the instructions to make it the default messaging app on your phone.

**Stock Google Keyboard**

Next, let's get a stock Google keyboard. We can search for "Google Board" in the Play Store and install it. Then, open the app and follow its prompts to set it up as the default keyboard on your phone. There is no stock dialer or contacts app available in the Play Store that I could find, but we can use an alternative app called X dialer.

To get X dialer, we'll head to the Play Store again and search for it. Install the app and open it by tapping on its icon. Then, go to settings > default apps and select X dial as our default dialer. This will ensure that we have a consistent look and feel with our phone's interface.

**Stock Google Calendar**

To get a stock Google calendar, we can search for "Google Calendar" in the Play Store and install it. Once installed, open the app and set it up by tapping through its prompts. Then, go to settings > apps > calendar and select Google Calendar as our default calendar.

Next, tap on notifications and turn off Huawei's calendar notifications so that we don't get double notifications every time we have an event.

**Living Universe Wallpapers**

One of the coolest features of Pixel devices is the living universe wallpapers. These wallpapers move slightly in the background and are not available on other devices. To get these wallpapers, we'll head to the Google Wallpapers Pack on our phone's Play Store. This pack won't be available by default, but we need it installed to see the living universe wallpapers.

Once downloaded, tap install and wait for the app to download and install on your computer or device that you're transferring it from. Then, go back to your phone and open the Google Wallpapers app. Tap on live wallpapers and select one of the living universe options. You might need to do a reboot on your phone after this step.

Tap on the wallpaper you've chosen and set it as your home screen or lock screen. Finally, let's add a calendar widget that resembles the stock Android calendar widget. We can search for "calendar widgets" in the Play Store and install one of the available options. Open the app and select the calendar widget option. This will put the widget on our home screen.

**Conclusion**

By following these steps and installing some alternative apps, we can make our phone look like stock Android.
