[Q] HD 7 widgets not working after 7.2.2. Has someone any solution?

Followind the [email protected] 7,2,2 OTA, I re-rooted, renstalled ADW Launcher etc etc... In ADW was't impossible to install widgets and wallpapers: solved for static wallpaper downloading Wallpapers HD, live wallpapers still not working.
I found no way to get widgets working. Has someone suggestions? Thanks

Same issue, but with Go Launcher. I try to add a widget and it briefly says 'loading' but then nothing happens afterwards. Interestingly, the Go Launcher widgets can be added just fine, the list of them populates and they can be added, so the fundamental mechanism seems fine and because it happened on ADW it doesn't appear to be a launcher-specific issue.

I am having the same problem since the 7.2.2 update. My KFHD is unrooted (I do not have the expertise to do it and do not want to void my warranty), but learned here how to use the ADW launcher (Thanks!). Widgets already installed still work, but can't add new ones to the homescreens. I have had a couple of other issues since the update, and spent about 20 minutes on the phone with Amazon CS yesterday without resolution--she wanted me to deregister, and if that didn't work to do a factory reset. I am unwilling to do that at this point as I don't want to lose my widgets that are still working.
Other issues since update: Business Calendar app and KFHD calendar app will not sync with my Google calendar (they did before).
Notifications are muted, but sound anyway. For now, I will just use the Google calendar on a Chrome webpage, and turn off my Wifi at night so notification sounds won't wake me up, but am not pleased about having to use work-arounds!

Tried and it works!
It solved my widget problem with ADW. I hope it will work for the other launchers too.
Thanks a lot!
EDIT:
it solved also the live wallpaper problem! The trik was to move the picker to system\apps, change permissions and NOT install : just leave it there: exacliy as for the widgets picker. Thanks again

Had similarv issues. Installed APEX Launcher and everything works fine.

Is there an option for unrooted KFHD? I was thrilled to find your solution for recovering access to widgets after 7.2.2 upgrade. However after attempting several times I can not copy your apk to system/app... I have concluded that it is because my Kindle is unrooted?????
The widgets were working with 7.2.1 then immediately after the upgrade I could no longer access them to place on screen. Everything else with ADWlauncher EX v1.3.3.8 Is still working with no problems, including still being able to place shortcuts and folders on the homescreen.

I would also like to know if you can get widgets to work without root, as I am not too keen on trying to obtain root access again after almost bricking it the day I got it....

To those who are unrooted, did Amazon customer service provide any additional info regarding this problem? Hope you get it fixed!

No, CS didn't provide any info, and I was kicked up a level from the first rep. Saw in another thread that there's already a 7.2.3 update, but mine hasn't updated yet. Hopefully that will help. I have noticed that since 7.2.2 my speakers haven't done the random loud pop.

After several attempts with Amazon getting NO HELP because app is sideloaded and not from their App Store. Someone in the Amazon forum said upgrade 7.2.3 apparently helped, but has made no difference for me.
CAN ANYONE HELP?? Please!! Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

I had this problem too, fixed it by: Long Press home screen... Click the Google Now Launcher settings.... Click 'In Apps'.... Make sure 'Apps Names of Installed Apps' is checked. Mine was unchecked. As soon as I checked it, App searching worked again.

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.

Guide for Google now without google launcher.

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.

Third party launcher being blocked

Well Xiaomi don't allow third party launchers.
I managed to get around this annoying setting with Nova Launcher by going into Nova Launcher settings and setting it there.
Just in case anybody panics

Same thing happened to me, it seems that setting it from Nova did the trick, i was panicking for awhile that i had to use that ****! LOL

I was panicking and i found another way also..
i downloaded 'mimui hidden setting' --> manage applications --> show system apps --> system launcher --> launcher --> and here I was able to select nova
anyone else had any hurdles?
i wasn't able to instal 'Revolut' from the appstore..
and google contacts isn't syncing..

Give contact sync all permissions and pop up etc and auto start. Should work fine. Works for me.

I had to follow this guide and manually install the APD for the background service but after that everything worked flawlessly.

How the heck are you guys typing with 3rd party launcher?
Third party launcher seems to force removal of the bottom gesture bar. When this happens, then when typing on the keyboard, the space button for example is directly touching the bottom of the device, and it becomes hard to use the space bar with it so close to the edge because the touch detection gets wonky. Have you guys noticed this? This is with Gboard. Any workarounds? It's just too hard for me to type like that.

How did you do it? I cannot see revolut in the play store. Deal breaker for me.

Just sideload it.. google: revolut apk
En then choose apkmirror or something and I stall it and it works the same..

Did it already. Confusing part was, there was a bundle package that didn't install, but separate apk did the trick..

I found that if you enable, "OEM unlocking" in the Developer settings, it disables the security settings that has to due with the launcher restrictions, and I was able to choose any launcher.

Problem is, can you use full screen gesture with 3rd party launcher ? Can't seems to make it work with Nova on MIUI 12.5 A11

Never used this device but with my 10+ the native launcher is superior to all 3rd party ones I tried including Nova. Stability is crucial for a launcher as it can boot loop you in a second... been there, done that, twice. No other app on a stock phone can trash a clean load faster is what I discovered
If you see glitches and especially unstable behavior with a 3rd party launcher know that a boot loop may be ust the next reboot away.
And if that isn't bad enough all the launchers I tried including Nova were slower, used more resources, battery and/or weren't as functional as the stock one. Many weren't even stable
I don't have time for that kind of $...

Before the MiUi 12.1.1 you could use a tool from an russian developer forum and temporary bypass everything by adb loading some sort of apk.
Yesterday I updated to MiUi 12.1.1 and if you have 3rd party launcher, closing app via app view/task manager doesn't work, also Xiaomi doesn't allow you to use gesture navigation with 3rd party launcher.
If you set the 3rd party launcher, and activate gestures with a bit of adb magic, it will work for a couple of seconds. I believe a python script that loops the command, would help here but I noticed that it prevents you from locking the device and it sometimes crashes the OS.
Anyway, I'm kinda tired of MiUi right now and I'll be switching to an Android GSI rom or the unofficial Pixel Experience rom.
