U know when lock screen the taskbar on top doesnt remove.How can i hide it and how ?
i dont think its possible, since i have had my SGS i had ran about 30 different ROMs and the notification bar is always there.
It's possible. In Launcher pro there's a setting for it

Don't think launcher pro affects the lock screen though.
I know you can hide it if you're using widgetlocker.
I cant seem to find where I can change the lock screen icons from messaging to something else I'm running nova launcher also if that matters. What if I want no apps on the lock screen etc.

Go to settings and then find lock screen. You will see lockscreen shortcuts there. Click on the words, not the check box and you can customize it. You may have to remove some before you see an add option.

whoa sweet, I cant believe I missed it
Anyone else? Every 3rd party Lockscreen I've ever used on any TouchWiz phone all have the same behavior. Much of the time they work great. But randomly when It turn on my phone, it goes right to the desktop. No Lockscreen comes up.
And once in awhile, the stock lockscreen comes up instead of the 3rd party lockscreen.
And if I disable the stock lockscreen, then still, the 3rd party lockscreen won't come up once in awhile.
Anyone know of a way to make 3rd party lockscreens more reliable?
I've tried converting them to /system/app and it didn't help at all.
I'm currently using Locker Master (really neat) because it hides the status bar and I love that feature.
I also use Widget Locker Pro and some others such as C-Locker. All have the same issue. I had the same problem with my Galaxy S4 and probably phones before that.
Any suggestions?
I don't know. I use widget locker pro with root and it works like a charm. It doesn't work well for me without root though.

Thanks. What ROM do you use?
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.

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)

Cheers, can you remove the Google search bar at bottom screen or is that there all the time? If so I'll download later!

Silly questions then.
I can't find in the settings:
Get rid of Google assistant on home page, and hide the useless apps in the app drawer I don't want to see?
Cheers!

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?

Apparently not ha.
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.

Late to the party
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,
