Hey guys,
My dialer shortcut icon at the bottom of the screen to the left of the drawer and web browser button is no longer working. The icon has been replaced with the white and green Android icon that looks very similar to the Market icon. When I click it, it says, "Application is not installed on your phone." I can access the dialer if I put a Contacts icon on my desktop.
How can I fix this problem?
Has anyone encountered this problem? I went into stock recovery mode and I cleared the cache but the dialer icon still does not work.

Will it launch from the app tray? And are you using the stock launcher or a custom one?
I've found every time a built-in app updates I have to remove it from ADW and put it back or it doesn't work. Google Maps, Google Voice... I think those are the two I've noticed it on but pretty sure it's anything that's in the ROM. Maybe that's the issue.
Khaytsus,
Thanks for the response. You were right on the money. It was my ADW Launcher that I installed. The uninstalled and reinstalled ADW and it works perfectly now. Thank you.

erm.. You would not have to reinstall ADW to fix that, just replace the shortcut in ADW, but okay, glad it's fixed
How to remove the google search bar from launcher ?
You can't from the stock one. Maybe try using a different launcher.
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
Apex Launcher and Nova launcher are both great replacements that allow you to remove it. remember that you can't use the quick view and circles widgets when using a non-stock launcher though

I was able to get rid of it. But you cannot use that space although it's removed.
Sent from my phone.
go into your apps. settings then apps then click on all, click on google search and then click disable. It will remove the bar from the stock launcher, and the reason why you cant use that space if you drag and drop a icon to your homescreen youll see the outline of your homescreen the amount of space they give you to use and your unable to use that space with search bar gone. thats the reason i use apex launcher.
I had a great emmc root but screwed up this morning by pushing the Home option and having it as the default. Now I can't figure out how to get back to the Zeam Launcher. Help.
Fixed it by finding another launcher and installing it.
The same thing happened to me. I keep a launcher apk in my dropbox so I can access it from the web interface if it happens to me again.
I use Nova launcher, and I can just access that through the app drawer (push vol+ and tap apps on B&N apps page). Then I can make it the home launcher again. I think Zeem is in the app drawing too, no?
Another way to go is to search for the Google Play app in the browser. Then click the Google Play link and have it open Google Play by default. Then you can either find another launcher (like ADW) or go into your apps there and open a launcher.
I've been using Global Stable 8.2.1.0 with Google Now Launcher and it's working great until maybe yesterday(?), I don't know. There was an update to either the Google Search app or the Google Now Launcher.
If I try to open the app drawer, all of the apps are gone. The apps are there, I can open them if there is an icon on the home screens or through play store. But the app drawer is blank.
Is anyone else having this problem?
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,
