I just updated to Oreo, and I noticed that Huawei widgets don't work on any 3rd party launcher. "App not installed" pops up whenever I try to use them. Is there a solution for this?
The Huawei clock didn't work on Nougat as well.
The Huawei Health widget works for me on Nova and MS Launcher.
I posted the problem with widgets in another thread. I think there is some aggressive power saving going on. I downgraded to Nougat and my phone is good again.
Attached is what Nova Launcher and Huawei told me thru email. Meh.

You can make the lock screen work by adding Nova Action -> Lock Screen. Then go to Nova Settings -> Advanced -> Screen Lock Method (it's at the bottom). Chose Timeout and follow the instructions to enable it.

I don't like any of Nova Launcher's screen lock methods for unrooted phones. So I'm asking for help on how to enable P10's screen lock widget on 3rd party launchers.

I rooted my phone and disabled huawei widgets. No solution found.
This is really annoying! After Oreo update I can´t use the screen lock widget with nova launcher, but it´s working fine with emui launcher.

There's a new update on nova 5.5.1, maybe it can help. it says "Fix FC on huawei devices."
Avoid using any stock widget with it. Nova doesn't like Huawei widgets, or Huawei widgets don't like Nova.
works now with nova 5.5.1

The companion requires a restart of nova after changing settings. It works fine afterwards here
I have the same problem.
Nova keeps crashing.
Back to the stock launcher

DON'T add any Huawei stock widgets !!!!! ... It crashes Nova stone dead !!!. I like the Huawei weather widget, but adding it kills Nova (and then you need to uninstall Nova to get it to work again). Adding widgets downloaded from the google play store works fine ... Running mine with Nova quite happily now with a downloaded weather widget and all my custom options.... This must be a free "feature" with EMUI..... woe betide trying to add one of the default Huawei widgets to another launcher....

I had never seen that, I used to install weatherpro windget...I just try now .. it's true Nova crashes, with Apex Launcher Pro it's worst!
Works just fine from day 1. But like everybody mentioned, don't add stock widget. It will automatically revert back to stock launcher. You don't have to uninstall. Just select Nova as default launcher again.

Nova Launcher not working properly on my Mate 10. I tried to create a shortcut activity for "Screen Resolution" because I don't get correct resolutuion on my Android Auto screen in my car, and I need to find a work around to toggle the screen resolution everytime I use GPS.

Yes, if you add any stock weather widget on Nova, it will keep crashing untill you uninstall or clan Nova cache.

I have no issue with the full functionality of Nova launcher on my Huawei Mate 10 pro except for the wallpaper. PLs note that I got my phone in Asia. Only issue that I have is that the wallpaper does fill up the screen completely when I tilt it to a horizontal position. It only fills up half of the screen.

Maybe you should try to update nova?
Have you try with animated wallpaper full screen enabled?

it works nova prime 5.5.3
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.
Hi all,
What is the best launcher to install ?
The two things I want are to be able to hide apps, and to have to swipe up to access app drawer as opposed to having an icon for it.
I have tried a couple but the p20 original launcher always ends up taking over. Or with the Lawn launcher for some reason I could add the time/weather widget.
Thanks
Try Ruthless pixel launcher from XDA labs. (If it crashes go to settings and enable storage permission; Bug with pixel launchers on huawei phones)

It's right there in dock settings. "Bottom search bar" Disable the feed in the bottom of "At a glance" settings.
To hide apps simply long press, edit and tick hide app icon.

On the at a glance I only have the attached. And long pressing an app only gives me app info or some generic options?
Long press the homescreen to access settings. You sure you got the right app?

I have now, cheers! Does the date at the top pick up the weather when it syncs or will I need to download a new widget for date and weather in one?
Also how do you go about downloading different icon packs that will work with the launcher ?
Thanks for your help
Nova, Evie...there are many out there but these are my favorites. Huawei widgets don't seem to work on any custom launcher.
Evie Launcher has been my favorite for a really long time and matches both of your requirements. Plus, the ability to change Icon pack not only by pack but also one by one is a big plus. Smooth, clean and minimalistic and has a couple of cool features.

For me the best launcher which i always go back to is LawnChair and it's Google feed add-on.
It's a lot like the Pixel launcher but has a lot more settings.
Icon size, theming, weather provider, gestures, app hiding etc.
It's rapid too and fluid, and it's free
Make sure the launcher is set as the default one, if the 2nd launcher in use crashes then the only thing the system can do is revert back, if you're using lawnchair, use the latest version.
I have it installed and mine never reverts back.
Another way would be if you were rooted you could freeze the original launcher in titanium.
CPL wins hands down.

Most customizable. No contest
Total launcher.

Steep learning curve though
Long time on my previous phones I used Nova and Apex launcher. For 2 years now I am using Microsoft Launcher which supports icon notifications for free and I must say I'm still returning to it. I tried Evie launcher on my P20 Pro but for some reason it consumed the battery a lot. Microsoft launcher does not consume battery at all (always like 1 mAh <), its fast and stable, modern looking but different compared to "stock android looking" launchers.

I use Nova Launcher, as it gives me everything I need. If you have problems with reverting to the stock launcher you can try to lock the new launcher in resent
See this screen recording to know how
keeps on recovery from crashing all the time, ive changed the permissions as stated above as well
I use Nova, bought the prime when it was on sale awhile back for $0.50
Nova forever,
Anyone else notice that when viewing the recent apps the screen takes a blue shade?

You can use Nova Action widget to lock the screen.
Add the widget and define it to Screen Lock. Then turn on Nova Launcher in Accessibility setting.
Do not add Nova as Device Admin as this may disable the fingerprint function.
