Does anyone get this message more often on Honor 8 saying, "Sorry, an error occurred. Your home screen icons will be re-arranged to their default positions." ? I am getting it at-least once in a week and it resets the icon arrangements including the folders I made as per my usage priority. This is so embarrassing. I am using EMUI 4 latest update. Do let me know if I am the only one facing this. Any help would be much appreciated.

Yes, I am using the stock EMUI launcher only. Since I have been getting this issue, I have just put on a CMLauncher.

Sure, I will give Nova a try.
How do I do the extract from an update and re-instal ? I am sorry, I am new to Android. I have been an iOS user for almost a 5 years (3 years with iPhone 4S and 2 years with iPhone 6). For the 1st time, I thought of giving a try for Android. I hope I wont regret my choice.

You can flash the stock firmware over to see if it is a problem with the software. (might wipe data on phone)
I don't have the phone so not 100% sure, someone else on this forum probably could help you more

Hi,
Please verify if the shake to arrange option is enabled on your device by pinching the Home screen>More settings. Also, you can do a backup of the device using HiSuite and perform a full factory reset to see if the issue manifests itself afterwards.
Cheers

No. The shake to arrange option is not enabled on my device. With the CM launcher I am using now, I do not face this issue so far. This was happening only with the stock launcher.

After using a launcher, I am not getting the issue. But, at times the launcher gets switched to EMUI, even though I have selected a different launcher (CM launcher, Nova, Google Now etc.)
I assume that is also a bug with EMUI.

In Build.Prop lower the values of each from whatever values currently exist. Both #'s must be the same.

For examples choose a number 640, 520, 480, 400, 320, 240 & 160.
Remember to save each time & restart the phone after each attempt.
keep lowering the numbers until it starts working properly.
Same error on MAte 10 pro
Hi all, cant seem to find anything specific to the mate 10 pro, however getting exactly the same error as below.
also i have tried installing 3rd party launchers however they fail to actually work, also missing all apps in app draw beyond H, but if i go to play store, i find the apps and can launch form there...
in addition, cannot move or add anything to home screens...hope someone can help.
I"ve got two Honor 8 phones and both have always had this problem. It may happen once a week and sometimes once in two weeks. Neither phone has ever had EMUI as the default launcher, one has Nova and the other uses Microsoft launcher. I've learned to live with it since it happens so infrequently. This problem has been reported in the Nova Launcher Google+ community by others so I expect it's a EMUI compatibility problem.

I use Action Launcher and can confirm this is the case. However, I disabled the stock launcher so even when the 'Smart Recovery's message pops up it's unable to restore to default stock launcher and leads me back to Action again.
It's definitely a EMUI compatiblity problem.
Huawei mate 10 pro BLa l29 same error.
I just update my device mate 10 pro bla l29 c185. And it has an error. My device use stock laucher and, I has reset factory when I see error fisrt. But, it only show when I restart my device, such as restart or power on schedule. Temporary, I press back button to exit this error. If I press ok button, my device will be arranged.
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...,

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

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
Hi everyone,
Has anyone tried to put Nova launcher on their Honor 8? I have recently decided to change the look of my phone a bit so i downloaded the Nova launcher (prime). I managed to modify it to my liking but there is one problem with it - i think that it is slowing my phone down a bit. App opening seems to be slower and even scrolling through pages in apps is a bit laggy (facebook, instagram, chrome, etc..). I think that my phone is working better on stock emui launcher. I really like the google feed which is not available on EMUI 5.0.1
Is there anyone else who encountered the same issue? Is there any way to fix this? I tried to change the animation time in phone and nova settings and it is not helping...
Thank you.
I have Nova on mine and it doesn't run slow at all. Maybe try turning off App Animations in the Look and Feel section?
I've been running Nova on mine for over a year, and can say that I have never noticed any slowdowns at all.
Same as the person above have been running nova launcher since i bought it back in september and havent experianced any slowdowns
Ok then the problem seem to be with my phone only. Maybe i should restore it to factory settings as i haven't done that yet. I guess i will just stay with stock emui launcher for now. .. Thanks for help

Hey just convert NOVA LAUNCHER to system app thats it. It runs flawlessly
Ran it on my Honor 8 and never noticed a slowdown with it.
Thank you for you help regarding it. I wouldn't say that the phone is lagging with Nova launcher. It just seems to be slower than with EMUI launcher which is what i don't really like. Maybe it is just in my head. I think i will stay on emui launcher for now.

Try removing the spyware and resource hogs 'facebook, instagram' and I am sure it will run much faster its certainly not Nova.

Using magisk module!
Some tips I discovered. It starts to run smoothly after I granted acces in advanced settings security device administrator, then Apps- Special settings - ignore battery otimization, draw over the apps, write system settings
Been using Nova Classic since I got my phone. Since I love the old Holo look I prefer this version. Never looked back. Works great.
Still using my Honor 8 on Android 6 and EMUI 4.1.
See no reason to upgrade.
Is anyone else having issues using any custom launcher from the Google play store? For example, when Nova is installed and set as the launcher, when going home from an app the animation leads to a strange overlay with both the Nova and stock launcher on the display. I've attached a photo to illustrate the issue. It's worth mentioning that I'm on the latest stock China rom, nothing done to the phone at all.
I had the same issue. It was resolved after I did a reboot.

You guys should try the pocophone launcher on play store. It works great
Pocophone launcher is nice... but it lacks the Google feed integration. Otherwise I would use it.

I have never had that issue. However, using a custom launcher and trying to change the lock screen background doesn't seem to work on custom launchers unless you are using a theme. If you change the lock screen background though on the default launcher and then switch launchers, it does stick.
I love the pixel Launcher but i want to try something different ,always use Nova but ITS unestable .
Any recomendation?
I use evie Launcher,only 2 bugs already spotted.

Unstable? Hardly. Been using Nova Prime since day 1 (late Aug) on this device with both A10 and A11. As have many others. Look closer to home for a fix to the (your device config) stability issue.
Nova here too, no issues other than maybe one in 10 days the Google Feed background changes to white. Restarting Nova fixes it for another week or two.
Sent from my Pixel 4a using XDA Labs
Nova here, too. I have never experienced instability.
Nova is king. I've had Nova on all of my phones going back to the Note 2 quite some time ago. I'm actually holding off on installing it this time around on my P4a and trying to get used to stock.
I used Nova for years but going back to the Pixel I been trying the native launcher.
I like it, but I can not resize or skin icons and for this reason may go back to Nova Launcher.
Lawnchair 2 is my recommendation. Very similar to Pixel Launcher, but customisable and free.
Although no update for nearly a year could be an issue for some.
Square Home if you like the look of windows mobile.
I have been using Microsoft Launcher. Love that the apps are grouped alphabetic by letter. If Nova could do that I'll switch to Nova though.

Not well suited to Android 10+ navigation metaphor; increasing number of unresolved issues; not updated since late 2019. Launcher (like underlying device/os/rom) should not be a focal point.
I use the beta version of lawnchair2. No issues.
In the past was NOVA Prime. Not sure why I switched, but these are my top 2 go to's.
hello,
i use nova launcher and have an issue:
when i do the upswipe to leave an app and want to open another one after that then sometimes i have a stutter, as if the launcher did a little restart.
do you have this too?

Haven't see that (yet). Might be app and/or device config specific.
