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.

Good afternoon to you all here at XDA,
Until recent I have had no problems with any on my devices when it comes to exploiting and unlocking them but today I started to play around with my girlfriends KFHD and have now run into a few snags.
For now I would like to focus on the Home key function.
I have just installed ADW Launcher EX and after setting it all up, discovered that the home key just takes me back to the stock Kindle Home screen. Is there anyway in which I can set my home key to be default to ADW rather than stock so it will load my ADW's default screen?
Side note: I know you can use Go Launcher EX which I use with my phone but I don't fancy messing around, adding this app to the system folders and the device has a locked bootloader and not mine.
Any help is much appreciated,
Thanks for your time,
Madrox.
I believe the device needs to be rooted. So you can convert the launchers apk file to a system app.
Once it's a system app, you can set it as the default launcher and the home button will work like you want it to.

Thanks for that,
The device is rooted and everything is unlocked and ready to go apart from the Bootloader.
I have seen the /system/app approach but do not want to try it as I cant find out if it is safe on 7.2.2. I've only seen this done on earlier versions and as said device is not mine and I have no Factory Cable, I won't be trying that just yet.
ADW launche r and 7.2.2

I just set ADW Launcher as systam App with 7.2.2. I had to : as user app it wasn't working at all, All seems to be all right with my tablet. Only, I can' t use widgets and wallpapers - don't know why - while with 7.1.2 they worked perfectly.
Hope to be of some reassurance for you
Tested with GO Launcher EX 3.13 after reading other posts. After messing around half the day with other things, I never actually noticed this post was similar to another about Launchers so this is now a closed matter.
Like nova launcher

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!
I have nova launcher as my defaul launcher, but the phone keeps asking if its my default at least 10 times a day after hitting the home button. It's getting pretty annoying, especially since I can't just freeze LGs launcher without Titanium Backup. Is there another work around or something that I am missing?
I have a similar problem, but mine isn't as frequent. My phone seems to forget all the default apps every few days.
You can use Debloater to disable the other launcher apps. That is what others with your problem have done, but they had root and used TB to remove them.

Thanks I'll try debloater, but I wish I could root and just freeze all other launchers.

Ever try Home2 Shortcut? it sets defaults for the home button to force the launcher. I use that and it seems to be working for me.
This also allows me to double tap home to make Google Voice Search automatically start (I used this big time on my Note 2 to get rid of S-Voice defaults).
Hey,
I see lots of people has been asking about google now in there launcher and many people knows that how to solve it without magisk.
There is workaround which i want to share may be it helps somebody.
First you need to install nova launcher prime which you can get like from anywhere just google it and then install a small app called google now companion app which is only supported by nova.
there is also a magisk version available of companion app but it is for those who just dont have root and magisk so by this you can have google now without having google now launcher and you will get google now integrated to the best launcher.
Thank you.
And sorry for bad english.

you just double tap the screen and it goes into google now or you go into settings and put it on a different gesture. as standard swipe down opens evie launcher but i switched that to expand notifications so now it works like the built in launcher, swipe down anywhere to open notifications. you may also want to switch off launch assisstant on home button or use it for something else if you are using gesture navigation as the last thing you need is more ways to launch assisstant lol. you could put the google now on that though then you can swipe up for home and swipe up again for google now.
Exactly. The most valuable real estate on a phone is the home screen because you can go directly to an app with one touch. The second most valuable real estate is the screen to either side of home and if you have a paged dock, the dock to either side. By using a swipe to the feed you wipe out an entire screen of the second most valuable real estate on the phone just to access one app when you can get to that same app by simply tapping a 1X1 icon, using a gesture, etc. I never have figured out why people like the swipe to feed, it wasn't done for us, it was done because Google has research that showed most people will not venture further than one screen left or right of home. Make one of those the feed and they knew they would up their take. In terms of user interfaces it's a straight up loss for users who in no way benefit from the loss of that screen for one app. But whatever.
Lots of launchers have a feed swipe BTW, if you absolutely insist on making your phone less efficient by wasting that screen you don't have to limit yourself to Nova.
Hi
Anyone facing this problem? When I use nova launcher for open dual apps, it show permission denied. But if I use stock launcher, there is no issue on this.
Please help. Thx

Yep, it is the same on mine.
Report it to nova…
I don't know if it's the same issue I found in Pixel Launcher, but in order to launch any dual app you must select the original app and it will give you the option to open the cloned one. This works for me.

Yes, the same problem here on the Xiaomi Mi9. I have made a Dual App from What's app.
I get two icons in the app drawer, but I can only place one on the home screen. On the secondary icon, I get a permission denied error.
As far as I know, there is not really a workaround.
I have the same issue with dul app on Whatsapp. August now ... Still having that issue.
Same problem on my Mi9
Open app drawer on nova, find and run the original app (not the cloned one) , nova will ask you to choose between original app and cloned app. select cloned app and it will run without problem.
