This issue has been going on for quite some time with both the default MIUI launcher and the POCO launcher.
Often, when going back to home, the screen only displays the wallpaper. Icons follow about 5 seconds later and only then is the phone usable.
The only similar issue I've been able to find is on a Reddit thread for Redmi Note 7 and the only solution then was to use Nova. (https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/dp92pc/redmi_note_7_launcher_restarting_all_the_time/)
Anyone facing similar issues? Can't change to other launchers since i'm using dual apps and haven't found a launcher that allows ease of use on that aspect.
Try to uninstall Launcher update
I'm suffering from this issue since flashing the global rom on my 11 ultra 2 weeks ago. But today i was trying new theme. I never changed the default theme before by the way. I don't know how or why the issue is gone with the new theme. Maybe it's related to the screen backup i did on my Chinese Rom and when I have returned to the global rom and did the screen layout restore the issue came out like different themes not compatible with different roms

For those of you who are Miui fans out there, I ran into a Miui Launcher. And it's as close as it gets to the official ROM's launcher. From no app drawer, to the dock, to the widgets, to the themes. After editing my build.prop and changing my VMheap and Maxperseconds or whatever that one is, I went back to the Stock Launcher and there were no redraws or any problems. I love Miui icons so i installed custom shorcuts from the market to add my Miui icons to my frequently used apps on my stock launcher. I love the blur effect when switching from screen to screen. Then Unfortunately, i ran into a problem. I found this Miui Launcher and man it is pretty amazing! Now i don't know which launcher to use so ima sleep on it and hopefully I can make a decision based on your feedback but check it out. I left the link to share with ya'll!

Miui seems cool to me, and that theme looks good, but I personally have no problem with the stock one (yet, As I'm still new to android devices). Only thing I'm trying to change is the notification bar.
How do I remove this launcher and revert back to stock?
Just go to settings applications then manage, and uninstall the miui launcher

I tried this out the other day, a few apps are in chinese as well as the clock widget.
I am getting this phone soon and can not wait. BUT, I really do not like the look of MUI. I'm not interested in having some kind of IOS look-a-like with no apps tray. Has anyone else been using Google Now, or any other launcher, for a while? Could someone who knows about these things explain the pros and cons of just using a different Launcher over MUI rather than flashing a new CM based ROM? Do the changes made by MUI interfere with a more traditional Android launcher?
Used miui7 on my my oneplus one for a good while. No trouble at all to just change the launcher. Was one of the first things I did the second time I used it. Mainly because I needed a launcher that would rotate 180°. Miui doesn't do that for the launcher.
But if all you want is an app drawer, you can easily simulate one with miui launcher. Just create a folder, drop every single app in there and place it in the dock area, where a drawer would be. That's all an app drawer is after all.
The only problem is sorting the apps inside the folder since on miui 7 I never found a way of sorting apps inside a folder alphabetically. I just worked around this by swiping up from the home screen and typing in the first letters of whatever app I was searching for.
BTW you're not losing anything by replacing the miui launcher, the miui experience isn't the launcher alone, it's way more than that. If anything, you're gaining extra functionality but just using nova or alike. Can't say about miui8, never used it.
One of the first things I did when I got the Mi5 a couple of days back was to install Nova Launcher for the same reason. The other thing was to swap the hardware buttons around.
It works just as you'd expect - getting an App drawer and the ability to have a centred home screen.
One of the issues with the MIUI base is that you can't change the Lockscreen wallpaper when your active launcher isn't the MIUI launcher. This is easily fixed by switching to the MIUI launcher, changing the lock screen wallpaper from the settings menus, then switching back to your launcher of choice.
I use buzz launcher and think it's great
Change the launcher. Miui is great otherwise!

Hello,
The wallpaper carousal in my unrooted Mi5 doesn't seem to work. The lock screen shows only the default, offline 8 wallpapers.
I also tried clearing the cache and data of the carousal app (also tried a restart after that). Any clue about how to fix this?
Which launcher do you use?

It's the default launcher provided by MiUi.
Btw, it's a bit stupid that I am answering my own question, but the issue was resolved when I got an OTA two days ago The version I have now is 8.0.5.0

Good to know it works now
I was asking about the launcher because when you have custom launcher set as default, Wallpaper Carousel cannot access wallpapers and symptoms are just how you described. Xiaomi says that this is "known error"
Below feedback i wrote to Xiaomi
Changing wallpaper on Lockscreen is unique feature of Xiaomi but it's not working. I google lot on solution, still it is not working. Many users reported that the wallpaper is not changing on lockscreen. I tried both on default launcher and lightning launcher still not working. Did many troubleshooting like installed old versions, Autostart, no restrictions in battery saving, allowing all permissions etc still not working. My device is Redmi Note 4 rooted with Android 7.0 with MiUi 9.6.3.0.
Hi all.
Wanted to ask if anyone has been able to install other launchers on the P30 series. It's probably the only reason why I'm still holding back from getting this device. EMUI isn't exactly the benchmark to beat when it comes to UI design and functionality, and I've read before that EMUI 9.0 and above broke alternative launchers like Nova Launcher and Hyperion.
Was anyone able to try installing another launcher and successfully set it as the default launcher app? I also remember an issue before that it kept asking you which launcher app you wanted to use whenever you pressed the home button.
Many thanks!

Nova works fine without issues.
Same, also using Nova on my P30. Everything working fine here.

Using Actionlauncher without problems.
Fantastic. That's good news!
Definitely no issue unlike vivo phones which randomly switches back to their stock launchers. In china however, i read that they blocked launcher change on huawei devices. That was on the 9.0 though.
Nova, Lawnchair Alpha and Hyperion all working fine for me, the only launcher I've tried that causes issues is the Poco Launcher.
As per my previous P9 and Honor V10 i use Nova most of the time but sometimes use Microsoft Launcher for a few weeks every now and then to see how it feels.
I always come back to Nova in the end as it has additional options I use.

I use the Google Pixel Launcher on my P30 Pro and it's great
Nova Launcher Pro on my P30 Pro!!!
I am using China version P30 pro, I could not set the default launcher to Nova even I installed it. Is there any way to do it? Thank you!

Yeah they dont allow launcher change for phones in china. This goes to Vivo and Oppo as well. First and foremost, you must install nova. Next, use ADB to remove the stock launcher but a safer option would be using Package Disabler app to disable the stock launcher. Make sure you already have Nova or another launcher installed before doing this.

Only in the chinese version of Huawei smarphone is avoided to install other launchers. In international firmwares is allowed (I tested Nova, Action, Pixel, Launchair... All worked fine).
Use EVIE Lancher much better then nova for me. You can make good things on it.
mine is microsoft launcher, it's best for me so far
Nova on my P30 Pro, works like a charm!
Thanks everyone for your feedback. Absolutely loving my P30 with Hyperion Launcher. ?
Nova works well, but all alternative Launcher have bugs on using Huawei's own Widgets.
For ex. you can't use the Weather Widget properly without crash when adding your town
The clock works only after changing grid to higher size even there is no need to.

Yup these issues have existed since I had my P9.
It's a shame as I would like to use Huawei built in weather widget but it crashes other launchers so I have to have an extra app.

Using Microsoft launcher flawlessly...
I know what you're talking about... It was a bug with Mate 20 and EMUI 9.0... But no issues with EMUI 9.1...
I'm not a fan of having huge app icons so I've made Nova my default launcher. very occasionally, maybe 5 or 6 times in the 5 days of having this phone hitting the back key to leave an app or settings has taken me to a homescreen that wasn't mine.
it features apps that I've definitely installed and looks to be the example of how my wallpaper will look in settings / wallpaper.
it's no biggie but it is weird, wondering if anyone else had this ?

ota updated to 11... not rooted yet
Yes I have the same issue. Than when i go to Nova settings the radio buttons on default launcher are both cleared (Nova & One UI). Seems like a bug. I am using as well Nova Google Discovery Companion. It's crashing from time to time and than I lose Google Discovery feed. The only workaround i find to work i to reinstall companion app.
there's also this weird bug where an icon in the draw at the top vanishes but it's space is there and you can click and open it.
still had to delete and reinstall it to bring the icon back.
Anyone else having problems with "Home" setting?
My FE tends to randomly forget my choice of launcher. I have Rootless Pixel and Nova Launcher Beta installed, and from time to time I find myself back at the OneUI interface instead. When I go to Settings>Apps>Default Apps, I find Home app set...
