EMUI is great! - Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion

One thing I was not initially happy about EMUI were the rounded icons, but there's an easy solution!
Just install the Google Now Launcher, set it as the default launcher. Go home and choose a wallpaper if you like, then...
...revert back ti EMUI as the deafult launcher, the icons and wallpaper are maintained. EMUI just got a whole lot better for me, roll on version 5.0

What update are you on? The newest update removed the squares around third party icons.

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?

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?

No problem with Nova Launcher

Which Launcher are you using on MAX 2?

Hey guys, I am still on EUI Laucher, but i wana change. Have you tryed Google PIXEL Launcher, there is no official support, but you can downloand apk. ANy tips od experinece?
I am using stock launcher I do not see anything bad with it, personally I do not like the app drawer , however before using stock launcher, I used to use next 3d lsuncher, and google now launcher which was really smooth, I did like it.
The stock launcher is fine but I use Go Launcher mainly to eliminate the live button.
I have tried Pixel Launcher and its nice.
But my preferred Launcher is NOVA because it have many useful customisation and drawer tab support.

Google Pixel launcher
I have been using SquareHome forever now. Before that Lightning Launcher. Both very customisable, SquareHome is Windows 10 style with tiles rather than icons.
I like that a lot - Notifications on the tile, live tiles, great overview, easy on resources.
I am on 21S and currently using the Pixel launcher. I'd prefer to use Nova launcher because it can mimic Pixel launcher and has the added advantage of nougat-like long press functions and you can use a Pixel icon pack to get all round icons. But I find that Nova launcher has issues with the multitasking selection cards on this phone - it won't show a card for the homescreen like it does on other launchers, so you can't close the last open app/page. Anyone else found this? It also has weird scaling compared to other launchers - at 100% all the icons are much too small. To get them at what I'd consider a normal size you need to set them at about 125-130%.

In the ROM section.
Trebuchet or CM standard
I got tons of Android devices and I'd go crazy if each and every one was different. So I not only try to use a stock Cynogenmod launcher but also make sure that applications are in the same place across devices.
I'm even using Trebuchet on my Note 3, which uses a hybrid Note 3/Note 7 TouchWiz ROM somebody put together to offer Marshmallow features on the Note 3, which has long since been abandoned by Samsung.
Not only is Trebuchet available on all devices, it also has the minimal amount of "Google" in it.
I value my privacy far more than Google's "added value". So no "Google now", no Google search on the phone, nano GAPPS. Essentially I just want the Play Store, nothing else from Google.
Too bad they are not satisfied with that...
The best is nova launcher, fast and very recomendable

obviously I was referring to something different, because the three options offered by the stock launcher are not satisfactory, since even with the third option they are always too small.
Basically I would like to do what you can do with a custom launcher, but with the stock launcher. Is there anything you can do with root? Magisk module, etc etc
Thanks
Yea... Get novalauncher or lawn chair. You know... Apps made for customizing...

A third party launcher is MUCH easier, as well as safer, than trying to root your phone just to get larger icons!
Nova Prime all the way!
Personnaly my prefered Launcher is Ruthless Launcher
A Pixel fork like Lawnchair 2 but dev continue developpement (lawnchair is discontinued)
My preferred is Eve Launcher, fast and simply
