Can you explain this a little more? I love google launcher, but only four icons now seems silly with this big screen!

Aviate launcher is a must for me.

I use Apex Launcher with Ubuntu Apex Theme which I like, only one thing that annoys me ... it's the EMUI back and home button reverts back to the EMUI launcher. How can I change that?

Go to Settings>Manage Apps>Default Apps Settings>Launcher>Change it to your launcher.

I did that but it keeps reverting back to emui launcher.

What launcher do you use?

Hey guys,
I'm currently using the Google Now Launcher, I really used to love the big & clear icons.
Lately I gave Nova Launcher a try and I really like it - you can add more icons to your homescreen,
the icons are smaller and customizable.
I think I'll switch to Nova.
What's your launcher of choice?
Nova no doubt it.

haha, why no doubt? google now launcher is pretty good. very stable as well.
don't you think?
Nova is much more customizable and it allows you to disable animations. It feels faster than Google Launcher, but Google Launcher falls in with a close second place to me.
I run 100% stock these days, don't even unlock the bootloader. Android in it's current state doesn't need anything else IMO
Huawei home ( no apk drawer ) - fast rock solid.
Apus launcher is replacement is fine too.
Try inspire i started using it with nexus 5 kii kat. It still keeps some of the originality the google launcher has including the google now page !!!
Omni launcher
Nova ftw!
Stock.
I'm using aviate and quite like the change.
Nova launcher for me. Swipe gestures are something I've gotten too used to now to go back to GEL.

Google Now Launcher with XGELS.
The developer of XGELS is doing a really great job at implementing popular features from other launchers such as Nova.
Looking forward to seeing what future updates bring!

BVT-1 is right:good:. Also check our Q&A thread for this topic. Easy fix!

You have quite a nice screen density. On my Mate 7 everything looks much more zoomed in, which I don't like. For example, I get way less notification icons in the status bar, maybe only 6-7.
Changing the font to "small" didn't do the trick.
Any help on this?

Hello, i have a problem to with Noav. Many times Nova Launcher kill it self and go back to stock Launcher. Who can tell me what can i do? Other Launcher have the same problem (apex etc.)
Manage Apps, the bottom left of default-app settings, Launcher. Select at Nova overview. There you'll find all Launcher installed.
Nova launcher keeps crashing on me, for no reason, 2/3 times when i just unlock my phone with fingerprint sensor. M7 32gb amber gold.
Do you use any of Huawei's own widgets (e.g. the weather widget) ? If so remove them and your alternative launcher will not crash anymore.
I'm using the weather clock widget yes. I'll try it out. Tnx
Nova launcher crushers every time I try and place the amber weather widget, anyone has come across this?

Post your homescreen setups here.

I'm surprised no one made a homescreen thread here so I thought I'll start it!

You can change the launcher at Apps&Notifications>>Default Apps>>Launcher?
KWGT + Stock Launcher
(Deep black theme + one ui icons) customized
Greetings fellows, can I just ask if Nova 3i is a branch of Nova 3? I just got my 3i today, I don't really feel excited about that amount of "permissions" and "setups" needed. Still a little to catch up with Huawei devices I guess. Have you guys debloated apps? There's almost 250 in total and I'd really like to get rid of those that I will never be using.
Stock launcher & free themes "Hi Cloth"
First day using, dumped the screen protector as I failed badly trying to do it myself. Having difficulties to type as the keyboard is much bigger. Not used to new style phones where there is so much permissions and accounts to setup. Fingerprint face unlock password voice print. Free themes are not very impressive, guess I will go for klwp. Can't wait for recovery and root/magisk. Has anyone tried magisk already?

change icons

can you change icons on a moto g7 power or change or improve the stock launcher without rooting?
Yes you can make any launcher the default. Try Nova Launcher or Lawnchair

Thanks for the advise which, which browser would you suggest using for linux its been my experience chrome freezes up every once in awhile.
Use Apex launcher with the Arc icon pack. It's beautiful!!!
Check out SquareHome 3. It's so good I paid for it, which is rare on my part.

Go into the Nova settings, up the top should be the option to make it your default launcher.

not working. it opens Home screen default page where I cannot select Nova
Won't work - this phone is seriously locked down. You can try to force the launcher off using adb (look it up if you don't know what it is), but didn't work for me.
