[Q] Custom launcher Quick Contacts widget not shown

As the title says.
I'd like to use a custom launcher the blur one is a little laggy. But I love the "Quick Contacts" widget.
But when installing launcher ex or launcher pro it doesn't show. It's there but can't see it. Anyone else had this???

Like you, I LOVE that widget, however, there is yet no way to get it to work in any launcher besides the stock blur

Ugh. That sucks. Hope it will be fixed soon :-(

Go launcher pro has a widget similar to the stock contact widget and you can size it the way you like.

I know I know. But it's for sure not as amazing . If I size it the same it takes a whole screen. The moto one is just awesome. Snifffff

True. It doesn't pull down like the stock one.

Yeah, the stock one is really pretty, animated, and only takes up one line of screen when you don't need it.

Turn off scrolling wallpaper

Is there a way to turn off scrolling wallpaper without using a third party launcher?

Nope!
I haven't found a way..

Just select any other wallpaper. Or did i understand you wrong? :|

You could always use another launcher with more settings like nova there you can disable it.
(e) nevermind, didn't completely read your post

Cheers guys, I've decided that I prefer Nova Prime anyway so it's no longer an issue

Launcher

Is there anyone who has changed launcher on P9?
I have tried Z-launcher and a few more, but I can't get anyone to work properly.
When I push the home button, it switches back to the standard launcher.
Solutions for this are more than welcome!!

I'm using Google now launcher no problems. I can't recall how I did it but this is from a quick Google search...
1. Settings>Apps>Advanced>Default app settings>Launcher
2. Select your launcher!

In my Settings>Apps>Advanced>Default app settings>Launcher, there is only huawei launcher.
Any idea... i'm gonna crazy with huawei launcher.

Use Nova instead. Works like a charm and with a little customization it looks pretty much the same like GNL.

Does that seems to you nongo launcher? Do you like it more than of huawei?
Thank you

Well, on a related issue. How can one install a lockscreen from the play store and have it as the default one? I have to choose NONE for the Huawei lockscreen to be disabled and the 3rd party lockscreen to be enabled but NONE is faded so I can't select it. Anyone knows how to get around it?

it works thanks

Anyone else wonder why so much of the screen is unused?

Wondering why this is? Picture below...

That's where your Google search bar goes.

Are you sure?

Use a launcher and change the grid.

Yeah I'm on Nova Launcher and you can change the sizes

Yep, Nova Launcher is the bomb!

Maybe it's because they know you can't reach that part of the screen without doing hand gymnastics anyway?

I always use nova launcher, and always will :good:

+1 for Nova. I've noticed that the Samsung widgets work with it now so can't see any reason to use the stock launcher.
