I don't get package installer error I get package conflicts with a package with the same name

Don't work with me

not working for internet browser

Where is the apk link ?

Or install another launcher like Nova launcher, make it the default launcher.
After that install the S8 launcher from within Nova launcher.
The S8 launcher and hello Bixby both install with no errors at all if you do this.
After that change the default launcher back to TouchWiz home then restart.
No need to put apps on the desktop and quickly install them after the restart.
If you then find you don't want to use Nova any more just uninstall it.
Job done.

still no work deodex>odex apk won't be installed for telecom.apk

Yeah that does not work either. I've been running Nova launcher prime and trying to install. PACKAGE CONFLICTS WITH ANOTHER WITH SAME NAME. Every time. Tried all the tricks.

nothing works with me either. Does somebody have any other solution for this? Many Thanks

I tried every trick but the installation still fails. Turned wifi off, tried offline mode, disabled every security check, using shortcut, wiping cache, used nova... I'm using the latest Nougat with April security updates. Maybe this is the reason? Does anyone have another solution? (no-root, no data wipe)

I had the same error of conflict with the packages, this happened to me when I update to the room of Uruguay with build date Mon, 17 Apr 2017 and security patch date 2017-04-01, what I did was to install all the S8 applications before putting my Google account and Samsung at the beginning after the factory reset, I had already installed some S8 applications without problem, and I had forgotten some of them, after that, I put my accounts from Google and Samsung from there I started to give error,I hope this help you, greetings from Mexico.

Thanks for the hint. But I don't fully understand, could you install the other apps after setting up the accounts by removing them again?

I wonder if it would work by simply removing your existing Google account temporarily, install some apps, then add the same Google account back in?
Also, this adb install command with some option switches supposed to bypass app version issues, so if somebody wants to try it, report back please.
It would either work or fail, but it won't break anything on the phone.
adb install -d -r -t AppName.apk

adb install doesn´t work

[Solved] OnePlus Launcher Update failed after downgrade.

When my Oneplus 6 upgraded to Pie, I hated the new horizontal recent apps switcher, so I found this article detailing how to revert to vertical. I saw in update logs that the new app switcher has been optimized and improved especially for gesture navigation. I decided I might as well give it another try. I downloaded the latest version of Oneplus Launcher from APK mirror, but when I tried to install, it said "App not installed." What do I have to do in order to get the Launcher to update? I'm on a Oneplus 6 running OOS 9.0.2, rooted with Magisk. OnePlus Launcher version 2.5.1.180803161901.ff750b1 is installed alongside the latest Nova Launcher. If I try installing any version of OnePlus Launcher past 2.5.1.180803161901.ff750b1, it says app not installed. I have Titanium Backup installed if that could be used to fix anything.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Infixed it with a dirty flash of the ROM. I always have it on the phone in case I mess something up.
While your at it I might just aswell update to newest firmware.

I'm about to upgrade to 9.0.3. Would that do the trick?

Yupp.
From twrp
Flash ROM
Flash twrp reboot to twrp
Flash magisk. Done.
From OS.
Run update, let it install untill it asks you to reboot DONT reboot.
Go to magisk manager
Search for module "A/B twrp" you Will have One module.. , install it, don't reboot.
Go to magisk first page, install , install, install to inactive slot (After OTA) now your done. Reboot

Updated to 9.0.3 as per instructions. Still on the old launcher version. Still says app not installed when I try to update to the latest APK.

Try uninstalling updates on the launcher through app settings?
Or
Install any launcher (Nova) and install App Remover from play store. Developer is jumobile. You must be rooted. This will allow you to uninstall system apps that are otherwise unable to uninstall. Uninstall OnePlus launcher, reboot phone and then install your app.

There is no uninstall updates button for OnePlus Launcher in settings.
Uninstalled with Titanium Backup and successfully installed the latest apk. Unfortunately, now the multitasking view is broken. If I open it, sometimes it says "No recent items" and other times I get a error message that "OnePlus Launcher keeps crashing"

Restored the backup I made of the downgraded OnePlus Launcher I had so I have a multitasking screen again. Guess I should have made a backup of the original OnePlus launcher before I downgraded...
Launcher still will not update.

I've had an idea. Could someone with Titanium backup make a backup of the latest OnePlus Launcher and a Backup of OnePlus Launcher with updates uninstalled, then post the files?

Boot TWRP with 9.0.3 and twrp zip on a USB otg. Or with it downloaded on a computer. Format data. (The one that makes you type yes)
If on a USB otg, go to install and select your USB storage and install 9.0.3 add zip to que and select TWRP. Reboot TWRP and repeat.
If no USB otg make sure you're connected to a computer and transfer over the mentioned files and undergo that process. This should put you on a clean slate and maybe you can get the launcher your want

Fixed with a data wipe and fresh ROM flash.

[Root] EMUI 9 QuickStep Recents Screen mod (Lawnchair v2/OnePlus Launcher)

Hi everyone,
After installing EMUI 9 (.241) on my P20 Pro & switching to Lawnchair V2, I was happy with pretty much everything except EMUI's default app switcher (Recents Screen). It's bug ridden & lags way too much for usability. That was when I decided to try QuickSwitch Magisk module from @Skittles9823 & @paphonb . Unfortunately, it didn't work for EMUI 9 & I decided to dig further into it.
Background Info:
In Android Pie, "recents screen" feature is handled by the launcher & is no more part of the OS itself. Android OS triggers recents screen by starting an intent "android.intent.action.QUICKSTEP_SERVICE" which is bound to the default launcher. What this means is that only the application specified in the intent can receive it. Now, in case of most OEM roms, this value is defined inside an XML resource in "/system/framework/framework-res.apk" (the file name can be different for different roms) file. QuickSwitch Magisk module apparently replaces this value using "Runtime Resource Overlay" technique to setup any launcher of your choice as the default handler for recents screen or QUICKSTEP as it's called.
Huawei, you bad boy
In EMUI 9, instead of defining this value inside some xml resource, Huawei decided to create a jar file instead named "hwServices.jar" & hardcoded EMUI launcher's package name in a "String" variable to be used for triggering the QUICKSTEP intent. This effectively kills the approach taken by QuickSwitch magisk module & us Huawei device owners are left with no other option but EMUI 9's bad implementation.
The way around
There are couple of options in this case:
Patch "hwServices.jar" file to point so some 3rd party launcher
Remove default EMUI launcher, create an application with the same package name to relay QUICKSTEP intent between system & third party launchers
Remove default EMUI launcher & replace it with a third party launcher that's modified to have EMUI's default launcher's package name
After spending the entire weekend trying Option 2 with limited success, I decided to go for Option 3 as modifying "hwServices.jar" itself seemed like too much meddling with the system's functioning. And so I removed default EMUI launcher from my system, took the latest Lawnchair v2's alpha build, patched it to have EMUI's default launcher's package name & installed it instead with system permissions. This works like a charm!
Instructions
You need a rooted device with Magisk installed
Install (QuickSwitch Magisk module v1.1.2)
Delete "/system/app/HwLauncher6" folder's contents using some file-manager like ES explorer with root permissions ( Create a backup if you want, it can be restored by copying the files back in the same folder if needed)
Reboot phone
Install patched Lawnchair V2's apk attached to this post on your phone.
Using QuickSwitch app installed on your phone, select Lawnchair V2 as the default home app & QuickStep provider. (We are using QuickSwitch only to give our patched Lawnchair v2 app system privileges. If you have any other way of doing this, feel free to do so & you can ignore installing QuickSwitch & it's steps above entirely)
Reboot & everything should be setup correctly.
Note
The patched version of Lawnchair v2 attached here is based on the latest alpha build at the time of this post& although everything seems to be working just great, there might be few bugs here & there. I'll update the attachment as & when more stable versions are released.
Credits
Special thanks to both @Skittles9823 & @paphonb for interacting with me while I was trying to find a way to get this working on EMUI. Much appreciated!
Update 1
The patched version of Lawnchair attached isn't entirely perfect, I'll wait for it's source code to be released to refactor everything properly. Until then, you can use this to replace your existing recents screen & even use a different launcher along with it, as long as attached Lawnchair V2 is a system app.
Update 2
Have also added OnePlus's Launcher ported by Paphonb with patch for EMUI 9. You can use this one instead of Lawnchair V2 too, if you like. Kindly note that these might be unstable due to my patches.
Update 3
Have updated the attached Lawnchair v2 apk with patch v1.1 (Fixes crashes)
Latest build download for Lawnchair V2
You should find fairly recent builds of Lawnchair V2 patched for EMUI here: (To be updated soon!)

Hi. Thank you for the tutorial. The problem is that when I try to install the lawnchair apk I get "app not installed" error.
My bad. I had to remove huawei launcher first.
It works perfectly. Thanks so much.

With this method definitely not. Maybe in the future huawei will do a better implementation for this, but not today.

Only if you're rooted.
Sent from my LGE Nexus 5X using XDA Labs

With emui 9 gestures, swipe up to home only shows recents.

With lawnchair, the apps and folders have different fonts. The folder font is my system default. Why is this?

You were the lucky one to try this on April Fool's day unfortunately where they changed font as prank. Should be back to system font by 2nd or you can go change it in the 3 dot menu in settings.

Easiest way: In Android Manifest file, replace package name to "com.huawei.android.launcher". This works so far for Lawnchair V2 & ported OP Launcher.
Proper way: Download source, refactor code with new package name & compile. This is tedious and am not sure how reliably can be automated.

Should work with any Launcher that provides QuickStep functionality as long as it works without crashing before it's package is renamed.

There is no tool that'll do it automatically for you. I use apktool to dismantle the apk, change values & repackage it. You'll also have to sign the package using "jarsigner" which comes along with JDK.

General ZUI 12/13 Notification Fix (ROOT)

For those who have problems with notifications using ZUI here is a possible solution that I found in one of the XDA forums.
Need: Root (Magisk)
(I think there is no way to revive notifications if they are not root)
you'll need magisk then flash this 2 modules;
1)quickswitch
2)shady launcher
(Both available here)
1)flash those 2 & reboot.
2)open quickswitch app & choose shady launcher then reboot.
3)go to setting>apps>default app>home app>shady launcher.
4)open security>autostart>enable for *your apps*
5)security>acceleration>setting>protection list>add *your apps*
side notes : setting>notification>notification management>*your apps*>allow
this fixes should/might be working for other device running ZUI CN too.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
With that all (I think) notifications will work
But since not everything can be good, it has its bugs.
Bugs:
(Only using third party launchers like Nova Launcher, Smart Launcher, Microsoft Launcher, etc))
1.- Screenshot option not working
2.- Delete backround not working
3.- Tap to back to apps not working
Solution= Use Shady Launcher xd
Edit: Probably some are saying: "This works with any installable launcher as a system"
And correct, if it works with any launcher systemless xd
If you don't like Shady Launcher because of how dated it looks then I'll also give you Lawnchair Systemless (With this, unlike the previous one, if third-party launchers work)
Edit 2: Quickswitch is not necessary, you can skip it if you want.
Edit 3: Excuse my english, I use google translate xd
Edit 3: If for some reason it doesn't let you choose a default launcher when you go to startup, then go to the following address:
Settings > Apps Management > Defaults Apps > Home app > Select launcher systemless
Source: Original Post
This would be all, I hope it works for you and again, sorry for the lousy writing.

Question Recents button not working

Hello, I uninstalled POCO launcher through ADB, now my recent button isn't working. Reinstalling it fixed the issue
earlier, but is there a workaround to fix this? Without installing the launcher? Currently using Nova launcher.
The default POCO launcher freezes(6-7secs) with no icons but wallpaper when returning from other apps(not always but it's irritating). So I want to kick this rusty nut out completely.

Did you try to deactivate the poco launcher insteat of uninstalling?

How to deactivate? You mean? Disable?

Thought it should be: Settings=> Apps=> "Poco Launcher" => deactivate, i'm running AICP, so i can not tell you the exact way, but with AICP you can deactivate (because the launcher is a System App, System Apps are diffcult to uninstall, only with root ) AICP Launcher, and this should be able with stock, too
