Another question? Stock android phone? - Huawei P9 Questions & Answers

Is there any way to disable the huawei EMUI dialer on the p9? I want to use android phone and contacts! I've still not rooted and was wondering if anyone had worked a way around this?

[Q] [Homescreen] Can't set new default launcher on B609

Hey guys,
I run on B609 and I am a participant of the official beta-program for EMUI 3.0. After getting B609 I tried to set a different launcher for as default. I cleared the default setting for Huawei Home but everytime I press the homebutton it just uses Huaweis one.
Yes I have different launchers installed (Nova, GNL) but still no change. I even tried some home-switcher-apps, but they dont work as well.
Any hints or experiences on this? More information needed? I 'll be happy to help.

Like tokkivals said, with EMUI 3 all default apps are picked through a whole different way now.
Dang, thank you. I didn't know that But sadly, at least GNL does not show up there. Trying with Nova now.
Edit: Nova shows up and is changeable - yay. GNL does not. :/ Anyway, topic solved - thanks a lot!

[Q] Few questions about P7

Hi, I'm planning buying P7, however I've read somewhere few things which worries me. First of all I've heard that you cannot change launcher and something about changing default apps. I want to use hangouts for sms for example. I'm not sure I'd like huawei stock apps. Can I hide or remove them?

yes, you can change the default app for home, sms, music, call, camera, gallery, email...with the emui 3.0 update the voice setting is difficult to find but after you know where it is everything goes well..for other app you can choose to freeze them (so the app apk is present but like it's unistalled)
Thanks for the answer. Freeze you mean they're not present on app list in launcher but apk still exist?
You can put the launcher that you want.

OK google everywhere?

Is there a way for me to get OK google with the screen off or at least on any screen on this device ? I'm running a custom CM based ROM rooted so I Dont have moto voice so this would be nice if anyone can help

The only way to replicate moto voice is through the app called OpenMic. It's not exactly the same but it gets close once it's been properly configured.

VIE-AL10, EMUI 5.0, NOVA Launcher

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.
