Custom Launcher App

Hey guys. Sorry if this is a stupid question. I've searched and google'd and couldnt find the answer. Could someone explain how to use this app?
I've seen docks with four icons with different apps linked to them, but im stuck with the three buttoms (apps, phone, personalize).
I want to change the dock and some icons but after watching some tutorials for this app the phone doesn't have some of the options in the tutorials.
Im on 2.2.1, S-OFF, and rooted.
Can someone teach me how to do this with this app? And if this app can't do that can someone direct me to one that can?
Thanks!! Sorry for being a noob

To have custom items in your dock use an other launcher then Sense. Something like ADW or launcher pro. Hope this helps

good launchers:
GO Launcher (EX) - my favorite so far
ADW Launcher (EX)
Launcher Pro
OpenHome
Panda Home
Launcher 7 - Windows Phone 7-styled, usable but not really similar to the real WP7 experience

if only go launcher had the ability to disable the dock and use adw icon themes, it would have been perfect.

Well, you could just leave all of the icons in the blank, the go launcher has an option for that.

Yeah, that would've been neat, but I'm sticking to Desktop VisualizeR right now where this wouldn't help either way.

I want to put something in that empty space, only ADW has the option to completely disable the dock.

launcher pro+ and adw launcher ex both have the option to change the icons in the app drawer. Just download a .apk icon/theme file, try out ADWi2 theme.

MM 6.0 and GOOGLE LAUNCHER instead of HUAWEI LAUNCHER

Dear,
Under MM, if you want to use Google Launcher instead of the welcome Huawei, or Huawei Launcher, download Launcher Google Now and go to applications, and parameters and finally advances parameters and application use by default, and pitch Google Apps, and enjoy the result.

Did you manage to get the App icons uncluttered like in stock android with Google now launcher?
I still have these ugly borders and backgrounds... Even if I use the purev3.hwt theme. It only works on huawei launcher..

I'm running Google Now Launcher, and no, I'm stuck with the hideous icons, too. As much as I like the customization option on the P8lite, it'd would've been nice to have the option to use default app icons (as in, the icons that apps show on their play store page).

Does everyone else has black background under the on-screen buttons and notification bar doesn't blend with the whole launcher? I mean app is not immersive (fullscreen)

If you want to easily change icons install luncher that supports it. Nova is one of the best

Thanks

Edit the OP than with the recommendation changed from Google Now launcher to Nova.
Nova is great especially if you want a really good stock android experience. Settings are limitless and probably one of the best launchers out there

Anybody know how to set different launcher as default. EMUI doesnt seem to allow you to change default.

on android MM go to settings ->Apps ->advanced(the little gear bellow) -> default app settings-> launcher
Didn't see the solution

on my smartphone google launcher works without any problem, set as default. It need to be set manually in settings, but then it is fully working.

How/where to enable it in eui?

Settings -> apps -> at the end of the window "default apps" -> launcher and select the default launcher

Just an FYI -
There are quite a few launchers you can try to see which one works best for you. Here's a couple other ones I've tried:
Nova Launcher
Action Launcher
Some of them have some nice/extra features with folders and theme settings (some parts required paid app). I'm currently running the HTC launcher (had to install several APKs). Lacks some of the newer features but looks better than EMUI.

Thanx for the info. I have one problem with this launcher the Google search bar doesn't work. Were you able to het that working?

Need to have Google app installed

For anyone that's having crash when choosing wallpaper, you just have to install Google's wallpaper app. It works without the pixel launcher too and has some beautiful wallpapers!

Hi
Hi i installed this launcher but i have a problem , i dont want to see the LeApps and other chinesee apps is there a way to hide them with another appplication like Nova launcher has the Hide Apps ? Thank you

I have found the Pixel launcher to be buggy. I'm all in on Nova Launcher. Custom icons, layout, tweaks, etc.

I really love this laucher. No problems whatsoever. Clean and simple.
If you want to use Google cards (swiping right from homescreen) install it as system app.

Question Nova launcher

Hello!
I just recently got my OnePlus 10 (exchanged for S22U) and couldn't find any answer to it:
If I choose number or dot for notifications, it will only appear a dot and if I choose only number, no notification will appear on the app icon at all.
Nova Launcher is unusable, and I don't want only dot on the icon. For my workflow, I need to see the number on the icon.
Can you help me please?
Well thank you

Why is Nova Launcher unusable?

on android 12 is there a glitch when opening a home right?

I don't know what you talk about, sorry.

Since android 12 there is a problem with Nova launcher. Do you use another launcher?

No problems using Nova prime launcher with android 12!
Cheers

do you use gestures or 3 buttons? The problem should only be when using gestures.

its a bug reported from months in all phones under A12....change launcher makes glitches with native gestures.the only solution is to be root and flash quick swich or a modded launcher frrom magisk

I know. The whole discussion on this arose because people told me that their Nova launcher is working properly
Thank you

Nova ftw

When I switch between home and recents, especially when closing an app or moving from one app to the homescreen, you get a little pop up of the most recent recent app flash up, it's not the end of the world but it's annoying.
I'm using lawn chair but noticed the same with pixel rootless, not sure what other launchers exhibit this issue, maybe it's just oos11 being a bit crap

Question Dynamic Calendar Icon

Is it OP launcher or Android 12 issue that calendar icon only displays 31 rather than the actual date. I tried different icon packs but no go. If I am not mistaken, I had this feature on my OnePlus 7 Pro on android 11. I understand this feature works with 3rd party launchers but was curious to know any fix to make this feature work with the default launcher. Thanks

Install Google calendar

Google calendar is the default calendar on this device. I did further research and it appears to be a known issue with this device. Hopefully, next iteration of firmware might fix it. It's a step backwards imo. Not a big deal but annoying for sure.

I have the same issue as well but others report no issues with stock/system launcher. Dynamic Calendar icon works fine with 3rd party launchers like Nova, Action Launcher, etc. I am hoping NOVA will come up with a way to smooth the gesture hiccups. Action Launcher recent update did make the gestures much smoother (although not perfect). So there is a hope

I use business calendar for work, has a tonne of options, think there's a free version, widget looks better then Google calendar too.
I think if it's to be a dynamic icon, wouldn't that essentially be a widget.
Think I've been under a rock. Haven't noticed dynamic icons before
Edit: I've never noticed that lol. Just spotted it now

Hi all, One of the things that was missing for me was the center clock. The void in the middle needed to be filled so here you have a module to place the clock smack in the middle, it's not off center like previous mods, this one is as it...
