International model. Ships with EMUI 9.1 (Android 9); install the Magic UI 3.0 (Android 10) update first. No built-in gesture or key opens a chosen app on EMUI 10 / Magic UI 3: knuckle gestures (where present) only take screenshots, record the screen or split the screen, and double-pressing Volume down only takes a photo. The same codes are used by Huawei phones (STK-LX1 by the P smart Z and P smart Pro, STK-L22 and STK-LX3 by the Y9 Prime 2019 and Y9s), so confirm the detected model. The China Honor 9X (HLK codes) is a different phone.

Recommended presets

  • Shake ×3Sends a signal

    Three sharp shakes within 2.5 s: hard to do by accident, easy to do without looking.

    Shake ×3, 0.15–1 s apart · whole gesture within 2.5 s

  • Widget ×2Sends a signal

    Two taps on the home-screen widget within 3 s; a single accidental tap does nothing.

    Widget ×2, 0.1–3 s apart · whole gesture within 3 s

Gestures are set up in the phone settings as shown, then combined into a trigger recipe in the app, where practice mode shows step by step whether a gesture would trigger.
