As much as I really enjoy both the Launcher options that my Honor 8 has to offer (not including the super simple layout) I have a couple of Launcher replacements that I ran on my other (rooted) devices.
Since I don't want to root this device (it's a BYOD phone for work) do I have any other alternatives to 'freeze' or otherwise block the default Launcher from running?
Reason I ask is my battery seems to be taking a hit. And having run these Launchers on other devices with rooted ROMs where I'm able to have only one Launcher installed, or multiple and freezing the ones not in use, I would like to see if I am able to lock out the Huawei Launcher. Thanks.

Sorry but I always use Nova. Just want to ask. Is the Disable option present in Huawei Launcher in Apps?

Disable option not selectable...it's greyed out. I am able to select Force Stop, but it just restarts.
Yes, I like Nova (Prime), Lucid Pro, and Arrow Launchers.
Try clearing cache of the stock launcher and change to nova, then disable the launcher

Maybe you can use this app. And follow the given instructions since you don't want to root your phone.

It requires root. So now I'm thinking I might look for a way to root, do what I want, unroot. Is that viable?
I haven't even begun to look at rooting the Honor 8.

Looking at the guide here for Honor 8, looks like unlocking, twrp'ing, rooting is not feasible. The unlocking portion says it will wipe phone.

does anyone know of ANY apps or mods that enable multiple user login on the Note 10.1 similar to the nexus 10 where you have your own profiles on the lock screen for multiple users?
so far, I have only found ONE app that does this but havent tried it yet: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEwMiwiZmFocmJvdC5hcHBzLnN3aXRjaG1lLmtleSJd
any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated!
Multi user login in Android 4.2 is embedded into the system at a very low level. Such a thing is very hard, almost impossible to port, especially without the source code of the ROM you want to port it to.

I've tested both ways now and in principle both go, but there are advantages and disadvantages of each. I would like to tell about the most important:
1. SwitchMe App:
i rooted the device with the above method.
then installed the switchme app and granted superuser access.
advantage:
Every user has a completely separate account on the tablet.
disadvantage:
with every switch between the users the tablet has to reboot.
2. terminal app:
also rooting with the above method.
create a new user with pm create-user Katja (my wife)...
advantage:
switching between the users is possible in the on / off menu and dont require a reboot
disadvantage:
same apps and save games in the apps
notification does not reset after switching the user. (this is very annoying)
After all i decided to not switching right now. and if i will do, i will use the SwitchME app.
maybe there will be a update to version 4.2 in near future. This will be genius with this fabulous tablet.
I hope i can help some of the users here.

thanks! ur right the app works fine but the reboot thing is annoying. I can't seem to figure out how to put the profiles on the lock screen so I can switch accounts without going into the app...anyone know how?
Hi.
Since I've upgraded to latest rom on my device, huawei backup is gone (?!?).
So what do you guys use to backup your devices? Specially launcher layout, which is a pain in the... after each reset.
No. I'm not rooted nor want to be
Thank you

As far as I know only Huawei apps provide backup for EMUI launcher settings and home screen layout. Can any other third-party app do the same?
Even with Hw backup i can restores layout if I am just re-instaling the same rom version, because every time I upgrade rom restore does not make any effect
Just out of curiosity, has anyone tried to install xposed sdk 26 on their u12 yet or is it foolish without a recovery backup?
I flashed it using the Magisk App. Only thing I use it for is Greenify.
But with any Android around here. Make sure you have backups etc.
I personally have an RUU saved so if anything I'll just reflash my phone.
I use the Magisk Module "Xposed Framework (SDK 26)", systemless. It works without problems, but you neeed to use a special Xposed Installer app, linked in the module description.
The following Xposed Modules work for me: AFWall+, GravityBox [O], XPrivacyLua
Anyone have any more experience with Xposed on the U12+? There are just a few mods and tweaks I am missing and thinking about trying Xposed. I will report back my experience, thanks.
I was able to install Xposed with no issues but couldn't install gravitybox, plus it states that Xposed is for pure vanilla ROMs so I don't know
Xposed + GravityBox, XInsta and Greenify works without any problems. Disabled it because I want to use Google pay (doesn't work together)
Do not fool with Xposed. It is not worth the trouble I promise.

The only thing I really miss is back to kill. Really don't need much more. Probably don't even need that, it just became a habit lol. By the way, trying Xposed screwed my ability to use face unlock even after removing it. I had to run the RUU to get it back.
***EDIT I also miss the advanced power menu.

I was disappointed with Google dialer, so can anyone find a way to port of MIUI one,or just apk that works..because there are apk's for messaging(doesn't even open UI) and contacts/phone(opens UI) app that work but force closes when you try to make a call.

Flashing a different region of the ROM can potentially mess up your persist.img partition. I'd advise against it.

yea, im with you.. in the past i was "flash it root it guy", nowadays i don't have a reason to justify it... just want miui type dialer and messages... google one arent even black for gods sake.. usability whole another story..

Does the default google dialler for the Poco allow 2 party call recording? Xiaomi pushed some updates recently to some models to allow call recording.

Did you give the necessary permissions to True Phone? I think that might be the reason, as I don't have that problem. Just check that under Settings>Apps>Manage Apps>True Phone.
Hope that helps

Hi,
also have the Mi9 with Global Rom 12.0.1.0(QFAEUXM) is there a way to flash the indonesian rom to get the Miui dailer and sms app and relock the bootloader after this. I don't like an unlocked bootloader because I play pokemon go that will not run with an unlocker bootloader
other question. Is it possible to remove the google dailer app with adb and install miui apk dailer app ?

Flashing the indonesian rom to get the Miui dailer and sms app and relock the bootloader after is possible, but not advisable....something can get really bad and you can hard brick your phone. As I know (not sure, I'm not an expert ), you can relock the bootloader safely if you'll do it in the same region and MIUI version of the ROM (12.0.x.0 not 12.1.x.0 - Android 11) you used when you registered in Mi account for the first time and got the bootloader unlocked.
I have installed Simple dialer, however there is no possible way to answer calls as no interface appears during the receiving call, even tho ringtone is heard therefore I'm currently stuck with the Google dialer

I too miss MIUI Dialer and Messenger.
Coming from Poco F1 to X3.
goodialer had only one thing useful, it displayed name of party calling even though i did not have party in my contacts, this was based probably on goo maps.
is there way to have such functionality in mi dialer?
I instaled the Magisk Module, it works, but when I do calls with Miui Dialer, it just appears the Google Dialer
