I'm presently disabling services and packages with adb on my x2. I have Nova launcher installed as my default launcher. I'm thinking of disabling the default huawei stock launcher. Is it safe to disable while Nova is the default launcher?
Lets say I do and something goes wrong in the future where Nova doesnt boot, is there a way to enable usb debugging in the phone since there'd be no launcher present?
have the same question. I'm on chinese version and dont have the choice of using another launcher as the default launcher. wondering if i disable stock launcher, will it default to the only available launcher (nova)

Yeah why can't the Chinese version change stock launcher? Can we switch from Chinese?
Chinese version of Huawei phones only allow stock launcher I guess coz they are gathering data. Not just an issue on mate x2. If I can sort this and get tasker working to turn aod on only when a notification comes in then it's the perfect phone for me!
I actually can disable the stock launcher. I tried it and got Nova to be my only launcher. But i wanna know in case I boot up my phone and Nova doesnt come up, is it possible to enable usb debugging somehow on the phone since there'd be no launcher present?

You can change the default loader back to Touchwiz from within the Nova Launcher settings.

You don't have to make Nova the default.
I have mine set up so the home button launches the weather/clock TW screen.
Then, I have a Nova shortcut in apps that I can click on whenever I want to launch Nova.

Dear,
Under MM, if you want to use Google Launcher instead of the welcome Huawei, or Huawei Launcher, download Launcher Google Now and go to applications, and parameters and finally advances parameters and application use by default, and pitch Google Apps, and enjoy the result.

Did you manage to get the App icons uncluttered like in stock android with Google now launcher?
I still have these ugly borders and backgrounds... Even if I use the purev3.hwt theme. It only works on huawei launcher..

I'm running Google Now Launcher, and no, I'm stuck with the hideous icons, too. As much as I like the customization option on the P8lite, it'd would've been nice to have the option to use default app icons (as in, the icons that apps show on their play store page).
Does everyone else has black background under the on-screen buttons and notification bar doesn't blend with the whole launcher? I mean app is not immersive (fullscreen)

If you want to easily change icons install luncher that supports it. Nova is one of the best
Thanks

Edit the OP than with the recommendation changed from Google Now launcher to Nova.
Nova is great especially if you want a really good stock android experience. Settings are limitless and probably one of the best launchers out there

Anybody know how to set different launcher as default. EMUI doesnt seem to allow you to change default.

on android MM go to settings ->Apps ->advanced(the little gear bellow) -> default app settings-> launcher
Didn't see the solution
on my smartphone google launcher works without any problem, set as default. It need to be set manually in settings, but then it is fully working.

You can also use NOVA launcher. the icons there are the stock icons, without the ugly huawei borders ^^
Hi Guys,
Just installed the Google Pixel Launcher to get more Google and less EUI feeling.
Found it @ http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...-launcher-7-1-1-3359438-android-apk-download/

Settings -> apps -> at the end of the window "default apps" -> launcher and select the default launcher
Just an FYI -
There are quite a few launchers you can try to see which one works best for you. Here's a couple other ones I've tried:
Nova Launcher
Action Launcher
Some of them have some nice/extra features with folders and theme settings (some parts required paid app). I'm currently running the HTC launcher (had to install several APKs). Lacks some of the newer features but looks better than EMUI.
Thanx for the info. I have one problem with this launcher the Google search bar doesn't work. Were you able to het that working?

For anyone that's having crash when choosing wallpaper, you just have to install Google's wallpaper app. It works without the pixel launcher too and has some beautiful wallpapers!

Hi
Hi i installed this launcher but i have a problem , i dont want to see the LeApps and other chinesee apps is there a way to hide them with another appplication like Nova launcher has the Hide Apps ? Thank you
I have found the Pixel launcher to be buggy. I'm all in on Nova Launcher. Custom icons, layout, tweaks, etc.
I really love this laucher. No problems whatsoever. Clean and simple.
If you want to use Google cards (swiping right from homescreen) install it as system app.

I haven't done anything else, just installed it as system app. If it is not system app, then cards will not work.

Anyway to do this WITHOUT Nova Launcher or third party launchers? I know I can change the screen grid size but I do not want to do that either. I tried messing with the DPI sizes in Developer options, but was curious if anyone was able to accomplish this with Samsung's own launcher?
Thanks!

I've tried in the past with my Note 8 and it was a no go. Is there any particular reason you don't want to just use Nova launcher?
Thanks! I have used Nova Launcher for what seems like 10 years. I really wanted to try the stock Samsung everything

Ah I understand. I have tried that successfully on my Note 8 because I ignored the oversized spacing. Then I got tired of not having Google Feed and gave up, went back to nova, haven't went back since.
Edit - I see you don't want to change grid size.
Hi everyone,
I have a small problem when changing the default launcher. If I change the stock to another one (nova or lawnchair) I lose the dual WhatsApp app. I only can see one shortcut to WhatsApp so I only can use one.
Has anyone change the launcher and have two apps??
Thanks everyone!!!!!
Firstly delete the dual app and try this... Switch to lawn chair or nova then setup the dual app from scratch and your second shortcut should appear.

Yes. I can change the launcher. But the dual shortcut disappear. Even if I do it before or after changing the launcher.

i m using nova launcher and also using 2 facebook accounts.. u can try this trick. keep the smart sidebar option on and select the dual app in it..it will show no matter whichever launcher u r using..
You can try this. Lock the cloned app in memory on recent apps. Now change the default launcher to your favourite one. And that's it. You can launch rhe cloned app from recent apps whenever you want.
I have Samsung S10 launcher enabled as default launcher and still using both WhatsApp easily .
For any launcher , Enable dual WhatsApp in side bar , u can also set as floating window
Go to Settings > convenience aid > smart side bar
in side bar settings choose a both WhatsApp and cloned whatsapp
This is just a workaround. There should be no issue accessing cloned apps outside default launcher in the first place.
