[Q] Default Launcher

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...,

Why this one doesn't work?

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

Are you using any other Huawei default apps? Think I might have had issues with message and email app.

No I use Google message and outlook

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 😁

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

Adding Google feed to OnePlus Launcher

Hello,
Long time Pixel user, just switched over. I'm looking for the easiest way to add the Google now feed to the Pixel launcher. Can anyone tell me the easiest way of going about this?
Thanks

Looks like you're purchasing Nova Launcher. Then download the NovaGoogleCompanion addon.

Free option
Download Lawnchair V2 from here APK Mirror Link
Google feed is enabled by default

Search for rootless launcher on play store!

Nova launcher is your best bet. Works very good with nova companion. Lawnchair is also very good only less custumisation with lawnchair.

I recommend rootless launcher as well, looks very very similar to stock oneplus launcher.

If you're rooted you could try this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/themes/oneplus-6-launcher-modded-to-add-google-t3845581

I think lawnchair v2 is precisely what you are looking for.

If you want to use the OnePlus Launcher, just add the Google App shortcut to your homescreen. Simple, easy, effective.

Rootless Launcher(Play Store) with Rootless Pixel Bridge V3 apk(Google Search). Install the Launcher from the Play Store, Set it as the default Home screen. Then install the Rootless Pixel Bridge apk. Reboot.
You will need to enable the feature in the Homescreen settings window before it will work...
I also use the Xperia Clock widget to go with it(Digital Clock Widget Xperia) from the Play Store. I turn off the date and weather on it, just to get the minimilst clock.

I use it on my 7 Pro, it works fine, play store wants to update it but as long as auto update is disabled you'll be fine

No bull****, I just got my US T-Mobile model, and right out of the box (with zero updates), the home screen settings give you the option for both the OnePlus "shelf", but also the Google Feed. I just long pressed the home screen, select settings, then "left most screen", and finally select Shelf or Google App. Viola.See the attached screenshots.

Well that sucks for us international OnePlus owners. We don't have that option...
Anyway we can get the T-Mobile launcher??

Dialer App

Hi I am on Android 10 10.0.1 with xXx and I am not able to open my numeric keypad in the Dialer App, but everything works... If I open the keypad, it immediately Force Closing. I also using Dark Theme everywhere.
So my Question is does someone have also this Problem ??
I don't think that it is a bug in xXx Rom. I think it's definitely a bug in the app. My Dialer App Version is 4.5.0.
Regards

disable theme overlay, always check version of mod and make sure it for that app version.

Uninstall updates, than install latest from Play store. The one you have is for beta 4 and 5, doesn't work well on stable ROM.
