Which launcher are you using, I am using Nova Launcher With the Pro version.
Using my instructions, I have seen no problems for months.
Apex.
search for LiveWallpapersPicker.apk in xda. will work 100%.
Got it> Trying Nova, per above.

Hello
I'm wondering if anyone got Microbes LWP running on their O2X. I think it looks great, and have found it on the internet and sucessfully installed it on my phone, but it wont work :/
My phone runs CM7 btw.
Thanks for any help
Yea, I have it working fine when installed from market. On stock rom.
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
Interesting... I think my first post in the sub-forum was about the lack of Microbes wallpaper, I even tried again last night and it didn't work
Can you post the .apk of this working one? I can't find any Microbe wallpaper in the Market.
Oh rly, I have searched Market several times and haven't found any traces of Microbes LWP! Could you please link to the live wallpaper on Market.
I'm also looking for it, the one i found its the v2.3 and doesn't seem to work once installed, it doesn't preview at all and if you select it just changes to the first default non-live wallpaper
Thanks to some helpful folks here I've been able to install ADW Launcher EX on my unrooted KFHD. For the time being I would like to keep it unrooted. The question I have is, is it possible to change the wallpaper? When I first installed ADW, I couldn't change the wallpaper at all, I received the "there is no app that is capable of performing that function" pop-up dialog. Installing an uninstalling another launcher appeared to add or unlock wallpaper changing. But the puzzle is that I see only one wallpaper with no way of locating other wallpapers.
So for an unrooted KFHD running ADW Launcher EX, what tool should I use to change wallpapers and where do those wallpapers need to be placed? Or is it only possible when rooted?
Thanks in advance.
Try Backgrounds HD Wallpapers form the Play store. I had the same problem with my root KFHD and that solved the problem. It has some included and an included browser to search for more online. It will set the pic for you as wallpaper. and it's free!
I took my gallery from my Galaxy S2, and dropped it in System/App changed permissions and worked perfectly. I can change wallpapers from within this app now.

Thanks for the pointer. I'll have to play around with it to see if it allows for selecting locally stored (on the KFHD itself) wallpapers.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately that would only work if the device is rooted. I'm looking to a solution for unrooted devices.

Sorry did not read that you where unrooted.
I've had Nova launcher installed since it was on sale in the Play Store and it's always worked fine until this week. I saw an article on an app called Flip launcher and wanted to try it. I downloaded it and another similar app (swipepad) and started playing with them. Everything worked fine for a few hours, then my phone randomly rebooted and went into boot loop.
I went into safe mode and un-installed Nova, Flip Launcher, and Swipe Pad and rebooted. Phone worked after that so I re-installed only Nova but my phone keeps randomly going into a boot loop now even after deleting both of the other apps.
Can anyone give me some feedback into this and why it may be happening or how to stop it?
Also, when you install Nova you have the choice to set it as your default launcher. Does this mean that the stock launcher still runs in the background? If so, does that hog much memory?
thanks!

Oops. I forgot I already asked. I was sleep deprived at the time. Have you heard of anything being wrong with Nova? I haven't heard of anyone else having this problem.
only as far as my post in there, I'm using apex launcher now so i can't tell you anymore than that
Followind the [email protected] 7,2,2 OTA, I re-rooted, renstalled ADW Launcher etc etc... In ADW was't impossible to install widgets and wallpapers: solved for static wallpaper downloading Wallpapers HD, live wallpapers still not working.
I found no way to get widgets working. Has someone suggestions? Thanks
SOLVED! thanks to cdictio see his post down the page

Same issue, but with Go Launcher. I try to add a widget and it briefly says 'loading' but then nothing happens afterwards. Interestingly, the Go Launcher widgets can be added just fine, the list of them populates and they can be added, so the fundamental mechanism seems fine and because it happened on ADW it doesn't appear to be a launcher-specific issue.

I am having the same problem since the 7.2.2 update. My KFHD is unrooted (I do not have the expertise to do it and do not want to void my warranty), but learned here how to use the ADW launcher (Thanks!). Widgets already installed still work, but can't add new ones to the homescreens. I have had a couple of other issues since the update, and spent about 20 minutes on the phone with Amazon CS yesterday without resolution--she wanted me to deregister, and if that didn't work to do a factory reset. I am unwilling to do that at this point as I don't want to lose my widgets that are still working.
Other issues since update: Business Calendar app and KFHD calendar app will not sync with my Google calendar (they did before).
Notifications are muted, but sound anyway. For now, I will just use the Google calendar on a Chrome webpage, and turn off my Wifi at night so notification sounds won't wake me up, but am not pleased about having to use work-arounds!

Tried and it works!
It solved my widget problem with ADW. I hope it will work for the other launchers too.
Thanks a lot!
EDIT:
it solved also the live wallpaper problem! The trik was to move the picker to system\apps, change permissions and NOT install : just leave it there: exacliy as for the widgets picker. Thanks again
Had similarv issues. Installed APEX Launcher and everything works fine.

Is there an option for unrooted KFHD? I was thrilled to find your solution for recovering access to widgets after 7.2.2 upgrade. However after attempting several times I can not copy your apk to system/app... I have concluded that it is because my Kindle is unrooted?????
The widgets were working with 7.2.1 then immediately after the upgrade I could no longer access them to place on screen. Everything else with ADWlauncher EX v1.3.3.8 Is still working with no problems, including still being able to place shortcuts and folders on the homescreen.

I would also like to know if you can get widgets to work without root, as I am not too keen on trying to obtain root access again after almost bricking it the day I got it....

Voted up, thanks!
To those who are unrooted, did Amazon customer service provide any additional info regarding this problem? Hope you get it fixed!
No, CS didn't provide any info, and I was kicked up a level from the first rep. Saw in another thread that there's already a 7.2.3 update, but mine hasn't updated yet. Hopefully that will help. I have noticed that since 7.2.2 my speakers haven't done the random loud pop.

After several attempts with Amazon getting NO HELP because app is sideloaded and not from their App Store. Someone in the Amazon forum said upgrade 7.2.3 apparently helped, but has made no difference for me.
CAN ANYONE HELP?? Please!! Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

I have the same problem. On a happy note i found that background hd wallpapers from the 1mobile market lets me change my backgrounds wooohooo you just have to click save first then click set wallpaper. I am unrooted as well.
I am using the VIE-AL10 in the US and was able to remove mostly all Chinese default apps to make it like a Google phone. I have used Nova Launcher for a while and it worked perfect in EMUI 4.1.
Now randomly the "Hauwei Home" launcher will reset as the default. Anyone having this issue?

have you found a fix for this? recently rooted mine. debating on deleting the huawei launcher.
I have not. Was hoping for a Huawei update to come out and address it. Please let me know if deleting the launcher works. I didn't want to root mine but would do it in a second if it fixes this issue.

so before i looked for the huawei home app i made nova a device administrator. I forget where the setting is but its in there somewhere. i have rebooted several times and nova seems to be sticking vs the phone switching back to the huawei home.
search for device administrator you will find it. alternatively you could root and give nova root priveledges

Do you know if that is something that you need to root to be able to toggle?

Also I noticed that the Huawei home default turns on when you connect a Bluetooth device to it.

You don't need root for that. I have found a workaround. Deselect it as the current launcher then hit recents. Once you see nova hit the lock. Haven't had a problem since. Notifications still don't work right but with apex launcher they work fine.

So I've tried this on a mate 9 and p9 plus. Once done the huawei home does not come back. I'm going on about 15 hours. I think it's safe to say this forces the issue.
