Also ... how do I move icons from my EXTRA desktop to the scrolling window at the bottom of the screen ?
Cheers
You need to install a Launcher....something like Launcher Pro or any of the others that have been confirmed to work.

What other launcher apps are there ? I have heard bad things about Launcher Pro ... ?
Thanks
Zeam is an option I've seen that looks pretty good. Apparently you wont have problems as long as you change your wallpaper while in landscape mode .
The official word from B&N is their home/launch doesn't support widgets.

I've been successfully using ADW launcher (with widgets and all).
Hey guys if i install either Launcher pro or ADW home replacements everything seems fine works great.. However when I attemp to add a widget to the screen I can't seem to get that to work. For example if you long press on the desktop and the menu comes up for you to choose the widgets menu... once i click on the widgets menu nothing happens.. No list of widgets ever show up.... Has anyone figured out how to fix this? Therefore I get stuck using the stock Home screen....Help would be appreciated, thanks.

The S7 only allows widgets in the default home launcher. No others will work. I've tried.
If you have the $2.99 paid version of Launcher Pro you can add additional widgets from LP, but not the standard Android widgets. I'm kinda hoping they change this at some point.

Put appwidgetpicker in /system/apps. You'll need root explorer.

I am able to use widgets on the launcher
Sent from my IDEOS S7 using XDA App
Hey all.
I'm wondering if there's any way of getting the "Program Monitor" widget that's used with the task manager to work in other launchers that TW?
It's all that's stopping me from changing to another launcher.
Thanks
Bump, anyone? Pwease?

Hi, This is awkward, but can anyone tell me how to remove desktops in JB Stock Launcher, I have SlimBen 3.1, using the Stock Launcher from extras addon, and I can't find the option for it... I remember in Stock Launchers that option was in the Menu Button while being on any desktop screen... but not in StockLauncher from SlimBean.... I have way too many empty desktops I dont need... any help will be appreciated...
Greetings and Happy Incoming New Year!
Has anyone got any alternative launcher working on this, I don't like the big icons filling up my home screen and the app drawer.
Thanks in advance.
I have Nova installed and running for the same reason but as soon as I try to add a widget it crashes and reverts to stock launcher
Why not try Nova Launcher it has a lot of customisation options.
First thing I did was install Nova Launcher
Nova for me and I have not experienced any crashes with widgets.
Just installed newest Version Nova Prime and Tesla Unread. Works perfect
Using Action Launcher .
originally using Action launcher using an imported layout and it kept crashing, but since resetting layout it seems stable.
worst thing about huawei phones is how they manage launchers and keep forcing their launcher on you
try also the microsoft launcher...it's amazing... used nova before but it's so cute and minimalistic. I like it.
I'm using nova (prime) and a android p theme. I had a crash when adding widgets once, but now it works fine.
Thanks for all the suggestions, I have a paid version of Nova but it never occurred to me to try it first. I am using it now and I like it, will give the Microsoft launcher a try also.
cheers

It seems to be Huawei specific widgets that bork Nova.
Weather Underground is fine, the Huawei Weather widget really upsets Nova, I've had to wipe the app data just to get Nova to restart
I've submitted a crash report and dump to Tesla Coil, so let's see what happens
I think for emui, you need to use third parties widgets if using nova launcher. Some of the emui widgets will cause crash....
anyone using magisk could try and flash the pixel launcher, thats what i plan to do once i get the phone
really love the pixel launcher on my 5T

Hi there, did you do anything specific to get Action Launcher to work in the first place ? i installed and it just crashes immediately when i try and run it (i've sent a bug report to AL dev team).
No not really.
I reset cache
Completely uninstalled and then reinstalled
Been stable ever since
Sorry I can't be of any more help
I have been using Nova Launcher for years but have switched to Microsoft Launcher as of recent and I have to say that I really enjoy it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.launcher
P.S Just make sure to change default search engine from Bing back to Google and desactivate Cortana

Did the same for me no matter what I tried! Using nova now which I'm more than happy with
I use Lawnchair Launcher + Lawnfeed
Nova is pretty awful on the P20 looks like I will be changing away for the first time in years. Previously had on all my phones including the Pixel 2XL.
3rd party widgets just aren't auto-updating. Another Widget, was stuck on yesterdays event, Agenda Widget doesn't display my full calendar and just says "Loading" guess it's time to find something else. Looked at Microsoft Launcher but don't like the way you can't hide the homescreen indicator taking up space at the bottom and not looking clean like I want.
Pixel Launcher works great.
