Posted in the general section before. If any mods can take down that post.
I have a Galaxy Tab with Secure Launcher Installed and only 4-5 apps installed. Everything else is blocked. Coincidently the app google now still works and play store works when searching through google now all other apps auto-close upon opening.
I once installed Nova Launcher which completely bypassed the Secure launcher and opened the whole tablet basically having 2 launchers installed. But after 15 mins of use secure launcher kicked in again and killed the app and now even after installing nova launcher again it just auto-kills it on start saying no privileges.
Now i just want to know its just a launcher that is blocking the whole tablet[Galaxy Tab 4]. Is there a work around for this?
anyone know this?
Trying to switch to Nova Launcher. Changing the default launcher to Nova doesn't stick. The default keeps resetting automatically back to EMUI. Looking for a solution.
i have the mate 9 and nova launcher prime, on my phone it sticks to nova launcher, you have to set the default to nova launcher and then keep pressing the back button until you exit the setting pages. If you close the settings after it may create problems. Also, you can set default voice control to google launcher3 this will enable google now to be on all the time and on any screen. This works well on my phone. Also if you install google Allo app, then you will get google assistant on that app, so when you say "ok google, open google allo app", you will get google assistant. My experience with the mate 9 has been good, but overall i think the galaxy s7 edge wins hand down. If you are considering getting the mate 9 pro, then dont, get the s7 edge and then upgrade to s8 that will be launched in march/april 2017.

Thanks, that's how I do it. But, EMUI still keeps taking over.
Go to default application settings and choose nova as default.
Nova
Have you installed nova prime?,
If you have, then follow the steps i posted, if it still doesnt work, factory reset your phone and then install nova prime first and then google launcher3 app straight afterwards. This will stop any other apps from drawing over nova and google launcher., plus you will have nova and google now from any screen by saying "google now", also if you install google allo app, then saying "ok google open up google allo app, you will get google assistant. Google assistant is loaded into allo app. Drop me email and let me now how you get on. This works for me, even if i reboot phone it still works. I think when you are selecting nova launcher as default app, huawei home is drawing over that app to set itself to default. Also in app permissions you should select yes for everything for nova (trusted app) and also google launcher3. This will then allow nova and google launcher3 (which is the newer version of google now) to draw over apps you install afterwards.
Please email me and let me know how you get on, i am sure it will work after you do this...,
Why this one doesn't work?

It works, but after a while EMUI becomes default again.
One of my buddys have the same Problem. But he get a Error Message that the Nova Launcher get a conflict with EMUI.
By the way, another good launcher comes from Microsoft. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.launcher
It works fine on my Mate 9
Enabling "Agressive Desktop" in Nova settings seems to have fixed this.
This is driving me crazy. Only happens occasionally. The only pattern I can detect is in the car with Waze and Google Music playing through Bluetooth which seems to nearly always result in Huawei Home becoming the default launcher.
Tried the above and granting Nova and Nova prime "ignore battery optimization" all to no avail.
I am using the Chinese Mate on B153.
Any further suggestions?
I'm having exact same issue. Really hope they fix this with a software patch.
Besides nova launcher, have you guys been able to get any other launchers to work stable?

I have the same issue driving me nuts.
I contacted nova and they suggested uninstalling nova and reinstalling which I did ok for a night then the same problem .
I hope once I get my bootloader code and install the europe ROM it might help if it keeps doing it it's a deal breaker for me I think
Been using a combo of Google now and nova launcher for a week.
.That was on b110. Still going without issue on b138.
Assuming you guys are setting up default in the setting/app/setting/defaultapp
Yes I do the deafaults and it's ok for a while then bang unlock the phone and it's reset it's a pain

Are you using any other Huawei default apps? Think I might have had issues with message and email app.
No I use Google message and outlook

Article went up on androidauthority today. It was about mate 9 issues and fixes. Might want to check it out. Doubt there is anything new there though.
Have you factory reset yet? Reinstalled ROM/update. It's definitely a bug
Was going to wait for my boot loader unlock code first ðŸ˜
I've had the same problem when running Chinese firmware. This problem, thank goodness, does not exist with non-Chinese firmware.
That's what I was hoping for 7 days left so I can apply for the code then I can use funky to blitz it
So as is commonly known, if you use the new gestures on 9.0.2 & a 3rd party launcher (such as Nova) when you lock the screen with an app open you will get automatically brought home upon unlock. I figured I'd try something random to see what it did.
This requires root & titanium Backup.
With Nova Launcher set as my default, I opened Titaniam backup & froze the stock Oneplus Launcher. I lost the home/recents gestures (interestingly enough, I still had back working on both sides).
In toying with it, I backed out of titanium Backup to my Nova home screen. Discovered I had no home or recent apps gestures & concluded that was a lost cause & opened up Titaniam backup again. I unfroze the Oneplus launcher and called it quits.
However, I started noticing that I wasn't always being taken to my home screen when I lock it with an app open. I've tested phone calls and several apps (reddit, ESPN, Chrome, messaging, etc...). When I lock the app open, I get taken back to that app when I unlock the phone again!
So in short, here are the steps you can use to replicate
1) Have a rooted device with Titaniam backup installed
2) Set your default launcher (mine is Nova)
3) Open Titaniam Backup & freeze the Oneplus Stock Launcher
4) Use your back gestures unil you get to the home screen (this probably isn't required, but I'm just including exactly how to replicate)
5) Go back into Titaniam, unfreeze the Oneplus stock launcher.
See if it worked! Let me know if this works for any of you. Also mention if you bothered with step 4,so I can update accordingly.
Really wierd since I don't have this issue at all.
I'm using latest nova and if I lock in instagram/telegram/chrome/camera or whatever app I'm in I get the same app after I unlock.
But good that you brought a fix for this that's facing this.
There is a simple solution that I posted in the thread above this one. This thread will probably be closed.
Delete the stock OP launcher then the home and recents gestures don't work. Install OnePlus Launcher from the Play Store then reboot. After rebooting uninstall the OnePlus Launcher that you just installed from the Play Store. Then reboot again and the gestures will start working like they should. I did this on OB6 and 9.0.2 Stable pie and can confirm it works for me. I use Nova Launcher as well. Then you won't have to have the stock Launcher installed at all.

Or better: just install latest oneplus launcher released 9th November and problem is gone. (yes.. For 3rd party apps aswell)
So I seem to be facing a different problem. For whatever reason I'm not sure I have yet to figure out why. Everytime I update my launcher past 3.0.0 and reboot my phone automatically installs launcher 3.0.2. I have never had that version of the launcher on my device. I can update to 3.1.5 and as soon as I reboot I have 3.0.2
Picture one is updated launcher
Picture two is after reboot
I am using Nova Luncher(play store version) as of now for the Google Discovery function. However, Nova Launcher on this phone for some reason is very unstable and keep on crashing. I am considering switching back to the default luncher but I will miss the Google Discover. Anybody know any method or ways to replace the Smart Assistant screen in the default launcher with Google Discovery? I am fine with complicated or troublesome work-arounds.
Thanks!
Note: I know I can flash another custom rom if I want a stable default launcher with Google Discovery but I cannot unlock the bootloader (hopefully for now) as my model (Malaysia) is "Carrier-locked" according to the in-depth test app.
It's not possible without a custom rom so leave it be or disable with ADB. I use the Google search app to get discover.
Receivced my Pro 6 yesterday and very happy so far.
I normally use Nova as my launcher but on the CN ROM its not certified by Xiaomi so will not "stick" as the default.
Switched to Microsoft Launcher wich is behaving fine - screen shot of my homepage attached.
Any other Launchers that people are aware of that are Certified on CN ROM ?
I use the Nova launcher on it as well, and it works fine.
I remember, that I'Ve had the same issue as you with the setting not being persisted.
If you set your default launcher via the nova launcher settings page, it persists without a problem.
Maybe you want to change the title of the thread? We are talking about launchers, not browsers.

Interesting.. I did manage to set Nova as the launcher via it's own setting but after a reboot it reverted to stock and wouldnt let me set as default.
Will try again.
And yes, spotted my mistake re Launcher in title. I did fix it.
I'm not a 100% sure since it's been weeks, but I think I also disabled the default launcher with "universal android debloater".
OK....
some progress with Nova.
The popup about certification seems to appear when you play with the Homepage search bar in Nova.
I had it working fine but as soon as I added a search bar it started to prompt

On my Samsung Tab S8+ I removed the search bar and did a backup.
It restored fine to the Tab 6 and this time all works fine
Happy Days
Hi
I have the Pad 6 not Pro and when I use Nova I cannot use gestures, only buttons are available. Is there any way to get gestures while using Nova.
