Hello, I bought P8 lite for my mother. It's first Huawei which I got into my hands.
My trouble is, that I can't change default launcher eg. to Nova Launcher or something other. I tried to delete default configuration Huawei home screen, I tried change this option from Nova Launcher settings (Nova show message: Nova is not default launcher.... ) and pushing this notice starts something, which is shown less that one second is gone.
Please, how to change default launcher in P8 lite on Android 6.

Sorry - solved. I found that I must go through default apps launch and there I can switch to requested launcher.
Pls. Lock topic.

Hello,
Does anybody have or know how can i install the default huawei launcher that comes with this tablet into a huawei phone? What is the launcher name?
I saw some pictures, and when it is in landscape mode you have a big clock on the top left corner and some nice black buttons at the bottom with shortcuts to some apps (i think).
thanks in advance.
If you had the original Android 2.1 firmware, the only way to do this was to side load a launcher and then remove or freeze the Huawei launcher.
This was fixed in Android 2.2, where you can use any launcher you want.
I'm currently using Legacy Launcher because it lets me up the font sizes...
*****Posted on StackExchange but didn't get an answer so far, hopefully someone could help me here*****
I am using a Huawei P9+ running on Android 7 (Nougat) and one of the annoying things with it is from time to time, the theme reverts back to the ugly Huawei Home theme, even though I use Nova Launcher by default.
Right now my strategy is I manually go to Apps -> Default App Settings -> Launcher to change it to Nova Launcher, however from time to time it would revert back again randomly.
I have Tasker installed and I am wondering if there is some way I can configure it so that whenever the launcher is changed to something other than Nova Launcher, it would be able to switch back to Nove Launcher automatically?
Forgot to mention I have Secure Settings (paid version) installed and my phone is rooted (using Super User, there is no proper SuperSu that works on this one yet).
Hi guys
I am reaching out to you guys because I haven't found an answer in the world wide web and probably some others would have the same problem as I have.
I recently installed KLWP app to customize my wallpaper. Problem that I am facing is that with no used Launcher (Nova, Apex, Evie) I can make my wallpaper scroll. Option is always on and I also checked that I have the same amount of pages in KLWP and my home screen. Not even with the standard launcher of P20 it's possible.
Does someone of you have a potential solution for me?
Thanks a lot for your help and best regards from Zurich
No solution, but the same problem on a P20 (not Pro). Tried to set a picture as wallpaper in Nova Launcher, but scrolling doesn't work. I also tried to force scrolling in the nova settings, but this crashes Nova.

I have a potential solution for you. I have had exactly the same problems like, as it seems, a lot of other Huawei users and nothing seemed to work. I then installed a bunch of different launchers and I finally got it working with Action Launcher. It worked out of the box, even tho if I made changes within the action launcher the KLWP became static again. I switched betwwen stock launcher and Action Launcher until I had my KLWP set up with all the settings I needed. You have to play around with that a little I guess, but I really think it will work for you.
The Launcher is this one.
Kind regards from Germany!
has there been any solution or work around for this? as i have a pretty cool setup i used for my previous sony xperia z2 and want to use it form y p20 pro but wall paper scrolling is integeral to it.
When you choose wallpaper click on the scrollable icon so it turns blue, your wallpaper is now scrollable when you apply it
I did the scrollable option in the standard launcher and it worked but I'm more interested in getting it to work using nova launcher. That's where everything seems to break down on me. Using standard everything works the way I want, just to complete the setup, I need to fully customize my app looks and shortcuts.
Same issue with Honor 10. Force scroll option on Nova Prime crashes the launcher.
Do you have the ability to select live wallpapers through the normal stock launcher?
As I've noticed on stock launcher the only live wallpapers you can see are the ones through Huawei's Theme App and no option to use external live wallpapers, so I wonder if this is the problem. I've emailed them and just waiting for a response as they state you should click on 'more' and then get option for live wallpapers in top right screen of which I don't, it's only the huawei theme app
Wallpaper scrolling works for me using Nova. I can also select external live wallpapers using Huawei's themes app.
If I use certain wallpaper apps to apply the wallpaper directly from their app, it doesn't work. But I found that once applied, I can then use nova wallpaper selector to reselect the same wallpaper from its 'history' options and this forces the wallpaper to now scroll.

I was on 156 and now on Android Pie EMUI 9. Scrolling still works for me. Stock theme.
On my side, i try to disable the wallpaper scrolling because when i set a static "portrait" picture, it zoom the picture and it's a mess >_< (nova launcher set in static wallpaper)

So you are on a totally different model/firmware as not all P20 Pro's are the same, it doesn't work on the CLT29-8.1.0.131 (C782)
Update: according to Huawei 3rd Party Live Wallpapers are not supported.
In response, please note that Google live wallpaper, KLWP or any other non Huawei themed live wallpaper are not supported by the device

I've not gotten Nova Launcher Pro to work. As others have stated, if I select Scroll Wallpaper to On, nothing happens. Just a static wallpaper. If I choose forced, it crashes.
The Microsoft Launcher works fine however. Just set a regular wallpaper to scrollable in the Huawei Wallpaper app, then you can apply KLWP. This has worked for me at least. The drawback of the Microsoft Launcher is that it doesn't have the workaround for the 5 second delay which is a pain. I've reported the issue to Microsoft a few times, both on the Google Group and Twitter, but so far, nothing.
SOLUTION :_Wallpaper scrolling in klwp
Its simple.... If u have 3 screen klwp live wallpaper jst save it from klwp and come to home screen(hope you have nova) then hold the screen untill it arrives to add screens.
Add 3 blank screens and feel the magic of klwp.
U must also enable wallpaper scrolling in nova settings
I’ve just bought a honor play, upgraded to EMUI pie 9
I would like to CHANGE the deafult LAUNCHER in honor play,
with something like pixel 3 launcher with badges/DOTS,
I really hate having all the apps being spread around the desktop, without any drawer to be opened to fit them all...
BUT
1) I tried rootless Launcher.
The EMUI system blocks the apps, saying it is behaving incorrectly and must be removed (it is not even possible to open it)
2) tried ADW+ ADW plug in.
The dots are NOT shown. I try to open the plugin to configure the apps with dots, but it doesn’t open.
4) tried Poco launcher
The dots are NOT shown
5) tried Nova launcher,
I’m doubting to by the pro version (with dots) fearing that Nova too will not be capable of using dots as all the others.
Does anyone of you succeeded in installing another launcher with DOTS/badges ?
Which one and how ??
I read that Huawei/honor blocked for Chinese market the possibility to change the launcher.
Did they now lock also the EU smartphones ?
In this situation the smartphone seem so limited....
Thanks in advance
Dots and badges etc work fine in Nova premium.
Nova premium works just fine
Nova Launcher Prime works fine for me as well.
Another plus for Nova Prime here. Using the dots myself. Think you need the Tesla Unread add on downloaded for it to work too.

Hi all,
I puchased the Nova Pro, and found badge working (with count number)
Sideloading googleNow apk, the google home page (right swipe) works too.
BUT
I found that TABS are NOT WORKING in main drawer.
Did I do something wrong, or is a Honor EMUI bug ?
Created the tabs, enabled the tab bar, but no tab is displayed.

Should I open a new thread for this problem ?
BR
You have made folders, but do you have tabs?

Hi all.
Wanted to ask if anyone has been able to install other launchers on the P30 series. It's probably the only reason why I'm still holding back from getting this device. EMUI isn't exactly the benchmark to beat when it comes to UI design and functionality, and I've read before that EMUI 9.0 and above broke alternative launchers like Nova Launcher and Hyperion.
Was anyone able to try installing another launcher and successfully set it as the default launcher app? I also remember an issue before that it kept asking you which launcher app you wanted to use whenever you pressed the home button.
Many thanks!

Nova works fine without issues.
Same, also using Nova on my P30. Everything working fine here.

Using Actionlauncher without problems.
Fantastic. That's good news!
Definitely no issue unlike vivo phones which randomly switches back to their stock launchers. In china however, i read that they blocked launcher change on huawei devices. That was on the 9.0 though.
Nova, Lawnchair Alpha and Hyperion all working fine for me, the only launcher I've tried that causes issues is the Poco Launcher.
As per my previous P9 and Honor V10 i use Nova most of the time but sometimes use Microsoft Launcher for a few weeks every now and then to see how it feels.
I always come back to Nova in the end as it has additional options I use.

I use the Google Pixel Launcher on my P30 Pro and it's great
Nova Launcher Pro on my P30 Pro!!!
I am using China version P30 pro, I could not set the default launcher to Nova even I installed it. Is there any way to do it? Thank you!

Yeah they dont allow launcher change for phones in china. This goes to Vivo and Oppo as well. First and foremost, you must install nova. Next, use ADB to remove the stock launcher but a safer option would be using Package Disabler app to disable the stock launcher. Make sure you already have Nova or another launcher installed before doing this.

Only in the chinese version of Huawei smarphone is avoided to install other launchers. In international firmwares is allowed (I tested Nova, Action, Pixel, Launchair... All worked fine).
Use EVIE Lancher much better then nova for me. You can make good things on it.
mine is microsoft launcher, it's best for me so far
Nova on my P30 Pro, works like a charm!
Thanks everyone for your feedback. Absolutely loving my P30 with Hyperion Launcher. ?
Nova works well, but all alternative Launcher have bugs on using Huawei's own Widgets.
For ex. you can't use the Weather Widget properly without crash when adding your town
The clock works only after changing grid to higher size even there is no need to.

Yup these issues have existed since I had my P9.
It's a shame as I would like to use Huawei built in weather widget but it crashes other launchers so I have to have an extra app.

Using Microsoft launcher flawlessly...
I know what you're talking about... It was a bug with Mate 20 and EMUI 9.0... But no issues with EMUI 9.1...
