[huawei] App rotation and theme on the lock screen disrupt system rotation and theme

Your dark/light theme has upset the phone's default system theme (dark) and turned it to light.

Now all the apps are in light mode, even when the system theme is changed back.

And secondly, with auto-rotate off, your screen still rotates and remains upside down. Then the phone system screen (icons) are all upside down.

When your app is on "over" the lock screen it will re-orient the screen even with auto rotate off.

I promise you the home screen is then inverted. When I unlock, Android home page also upside down. You can imagine it drives the user crazy. So I have to force on auto-rotate to change it back.

And yes when I then used other apps they were all in light mode. The system was put to light mode also, I never changed anything.

All of this happened when the maps was open on the lock screen, so I found the setting to switch that off.
