Stock Launcher Settings - Huawei P20 Questions & Answers

Hi,
Could someone please share what settings the stock Launcher comes with, and if the HiBoard feature is there? I always like to use the default launcher, if it's good enough, but can't find anyone that has reviewed it at all, for any EMUI device.
Just would be nice to know if it has/can:
App Shortcuts
Badges
Grid Size Options
Resize Widgets
And what information you can add to HiBoard.
Thanks.

Any way to change icons?

I love this phone, but I am not that crazy about the icons on TouchWiz. Is there anyway to change icons without being on a ROM that has the theme chooser?

you cuold always try apex launcher or another launcher also!
APK Edit will allow you to change the icon and/or application name for any program... very easy to use.
see this:

OK, a lot easier way to do this is to download "Apex Launcher" or "Nova Launcher" from the play store. They both support icon packs. There are many free ones out on the play store (stock jellybean, motorola icons, lg icons, google icons, touchwiz icons...etc)
Launcher:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5hbmRkb2VzLmxhdW5jaGVyIl0.
Icons (a bunch):

Sweet, thanks for the response guys that helps a lot.

Icon changer works for me:good:
I've been using Apex launcher for a while now an I really like it. The best feature is letting me change the home page grid size. I really prefer to have 5 x 4 instead of the default 4x4.
I find GO Launcher EX to be an excellent launcher as it has some many plugins available so you can customize every aspect of the O/S to make it look exactly like you want. It also has a complete widget series for further customization. I like the custom calendar, weather, and notifications it provides. Also there is a really cool SMS text message app that add many custom icons to your text messages.

How to get photo viewer on other launchers

I like the way you can scroll through photos in your gallery on the stock launcher; however, I use Nova Launcher. I cannot find the stock gallery anywhere; I've just been through all the activities available to your when you create a shortcut to an activity, but all I can see there is the settings page for it. Is it possible to use this on other launchers?

not directly
unless someone port it as a widget app for 3rd party launchers.
(I m not sure but i think there is no project like this unfortunately)

Can I get the default pixel date/weather widget in Nova launcher?

I really like the Date and weather widget that comes stock in the Google Launcher on the phone. However, I've switched to using Nova Launcher because I like a couple of its features better. Is there any way I can get that widget on my homescreen?
Thanks!
Try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.difer.weather

Try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=wangdaye.com.geometricweather and select the oreo widget in that
Guys, try this one, its called chronus (Google Play store). Its free, I just bought weather icons for 1 $. I dont know why, but I cant attach screenshot... But its looks so much better then other apps.

Yes, it is built into the Nova settings. No need to download additional widgets. Just look for the Google search bar options and select the pixel style and enable weather display.
i would love to find the built in digital clock/date widget, i cannot find it in nova launcher, could you tell me how? i don't need the weather as a widget, just the time

How to mod the touchwiz launcher? help needed!

Hi all,
i'm trying to modify the the touchwiz launcher as since few updates Samsung introduced a very annoying "feature" which is a huge gap between the status bar and the 1st icons row ( check this thread for pics: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/free-space-home-screen-update-t3650504)
Now my questions is, as i'd like to used the latest s7 official stock firmware, how can i mod the stock launcher to reduce the 1st row gap from the top of the screen? i have no idea where to start! any suggestion?
thanks in advance!
Hello,
The Touchwizz launcher doesn't have many options to personalize it. I would suggest you try an custom launcher like Apex Launcher or Nova Launcher (I prefer Apex because it has some options in the free version that are only accessible in the paid version of Nova, that's only my thought and taste). If I keep that Apex launcher example, in it you can set how many rows of icons vertically and horizontally, separately for portrait or landscape mode, you can set the margins on top, bottom, left and right sides of the screen etc... Well, you can fine tune to your likes.
If you want to keep the Touchwizz launcher at all cost, I'm afraid I can't help you because it lacks lots of options. It's not bad, but if you like specific set ups, prefer a custom launcher (launchers like Apex allow you to export your settings, so each time you have a new device, you can install your custom launcher on it and import your settings file and instantly have everything configured to your liking).
I hope I've been able to help you.
Have a good day!

KWGT and EMUI

Hallo at all,sorry for the inglish,i'm italian,i downloaded the app kwgt pro,and when i set in the homescren a preset downloaded from the PlayStore,the fonts don't changes,are the same of the system..please help me..
Are you trying to set a KWGT preset for everything on the home screen? Or are you referring to the fonts used in the widget?
If you have issues with the fonts used inside the created widget itself, my suggestion is to contact the app developer and see if the app is compatible with all launchers and what may the issue be.
Just to test if it is the TWGT widget or the EMUI launcher, I suggest you install a custom launcher. Something popular that will not have any issues, like NOVA Launcher. See if the Widget works with that or the font is still wrong.
