Transparent Google Now Feed - Honor 6X Questions & Answers

Hey guys,now i really wanted the transparent google feed on nova launcher and i discovered a wierd way to do it but it's not permanent so hear it is :
1. Install pixel launcher and set it to default launcher
2. Install nova google companion app
3. Open nova launcher from pixel launcher
4. Swipe to left and it appears transparent but as long as you have pixel launcher as default launcher
So is there is a way to get while keeping nova launcher default or what ?
(Btw : I didn't test the above test on any other device so i don't know if it works on other devices)

I've tried almost anything I thought of, unfortunately couldn't get it using Nova as default

Android Launcher

hi ,
I have packaged two launchers in my source code. Launcher 2 and nova launcher.
I want only Launcher to be default and i change the launcher setting through my app when device is fully booted.
However home selection for the launcher shows up everytime.
Not sure how to fix this?
ResolveActivity.java is the one which shows option to launch.
Can you help me?

Nova Launcher "add to home screen" function not working

Hi all,
I'm on a Honor 6 L04 with EMUI 4.0 (B860).
My Nova launcher is supposed to add new apps to the homescreen (option is checked) but they only appear on the Huawei launcher. Also if an app tries to add widgets on the homescreen (like chrome or the Google app) it only shows up on the stock launcher.
Does anyone observe the same behavior? What permission does Nova launcher need to have access to the new homescreen widgets?
Thanks, Julian
PS: it works correctly on my tablet with CyanogenMod, so I assume it's an EMUI problem

Launchers and edge sense

Just got my solar red in. Just wondering what launcher everyone is using. I've always been on apex for the simplicity and stock android feel, but how's the sense launcher on the U11? How's edge sense working with other launchers? And is there a launcher that works with the weather clock widget?
I use Nova Launcher Prime, works great, in addition to Beautiful Widgets app for 5x2 weather/time widget.
Same here, Nova Launcher Prime~
Nova prime
Alternating between Nova Prime and HTC stock. I haven't decided yet........

I'm liking sense. But will probably try nova at some point
I go back and forth between Nova Prime and stock.
I, as well, and or between Sense and Nova launcher. When in Nova launcher, I use gestures to launch Google Now, and that leaves Edge Sense for my two most used apps; Camera and WhatsApp.
But I've been on HTC Sense launcher for quite some time.
I use Nova Launcher as well, theming it to mimic the Pixel Launcher and with he Pixel Icon Pack to make all icons rounded.
Another, lighter option if you like the Pixel UI is Lawnchair. You can use the same icon pack for completeness. And it also supports Google Now integration (so does Nova).
The big difference between the two is that Nova is more customisable, and Nova supports weather in the search widget which Lawnchair doesn't.

You can enable full Google Now integration within Nova Launcher, so that it becomes your left-most home screen.

If you knew about it, and used it, why did you ...

Adding an "App Drawer" icon to the default Pixel Launcher

Hi all,
I would love the ability to be able to add a simple "All Apps" icon in the center of the dock like the old GEL launcher had. I know that Nova and Action Launcher can do this, but I like the barebones aspect of the Pixel launcher and would like to continue using that. Does anyone know if this is possible? I know there used to be an application in the play store that would add this shortcut to the pixel launcher last year, but that app appears to have disappeared. (I know there are some third party app launchers in the play store, but none of them are blazingly fast)
Only with launcher, sry mate

Best workaround I could find, which is not really perfect but hey see screenshot
Download Nova launcher but don't set it as default. On pixel launcher, add a widget -> Nova action -> app drawer
You may have some few times you come back through Nova homepage this way when pressing home. Give it a try your self.
If I have some time I could see if there's a better way to do it by properly calling the app drawer..
So -- you can make Nova as bare bones as you want to. Any particular reason why you don't want to use Nova, configured to look and feel just like the Pixel launcher? It seems like the best option for what you want.
I know it doesn't replace a button, but tapping the arrow above the dock takes you to app drawer. How do you feel about this?

Least instrusive way to use Google Now?

I'm coming from a Moto Z. I don't know a lot about launcher styles but I think the way it worked is more or less straight from AOSP -- simple home screens with a toggle for a Google Search bar at the top, fixed app-drawer button in the home row, drawer scrolls vertically with an alphabetical list of all installed apps. Swiping "before" first home screen (so, to the right) shows Google Now.
I can try to get used to the stock launcher (swipe up for app drawer, down for search / calendar) but I'd really like to keep Google Now's article listing. Is there a simple way to do that without other drastic changes? I'm not planning to root, if that matters.
Try Lawnchair or Rootless Pixel Launcher. Simple APK installation and you will get similar experience to Pixel 3's launcher. There is an add-on APK available for the Google Now functionality you want as well.
You can install a theme that enables google now on the stock launcher, I have these two:
Pixel Experience Theme
Pixel Experience Theme Dark
I replaced my Pixel 3 with this phone and am quite happy how well it does so.
I use Nova Launcher Prime and Google Now companion add-on. Unfortunately I can't remember if you need to pay for Nova Launcher Prime to use the add-on. It works great!
