Anyone run Nova Launcher on this phone? There are some great deals today, but I an a Nova fan, and I've been seeing stuff about Huawei blocking third party launchers on their phones. Anyone have any trouble with this?
Thanks
.
That's on pie
I've used nova in Oreo just fine.
The 3rd party launcher block are for China phones only.. Global phones will not have this block.... Source Huawei.
I'm using Microsoft launcher as we speak.. No problems.
Cortana
Hivoice and Google voice all work as intended

Ever since the Splay Launcher update where it can't actually be used as a launcher anymore, there's no point in using it anymore. Are there any alternatives that are similar to Splay? Thanks!
Hello all- When I use an alternate launcher such as Apex, Mini, etc.. the clock widgets on the homescreen never update, they essentially stay on the same time as when I first placed the widget.
Is there some setting that I am missing or is this something Huawei implemented to stop people from using other launchers ?
Has anyone else had this problem ??
Cheers, LL13-
Hi,
I only had this issue with 3rd party apps like Zooper. I needed to protect the app from being closed when the phone goes to standby/switches off the screen ("Settings", "Protected apps", enable the switch for the 3rd party app which should not bee closed when phone goes on standby).
Maybe you also need to enable the same option for the 3rd party launcer as well. I'm using Nova Launcher and it is protected from being closed as well.
Hi everyone, just a quick help for some people that might flash marshmallow rom on their huawei mate 7 phone and didn't get the app drawer (in case you want it)
Well you can easily get it by changing the default launcher from huawei and use Google now launcher..
All you need is, to download the launcher from the play store and then go to settings-apps-default apps settings where you will see the huawei launcher and just choose the Google now launcher that we just download.
Hope it helps a bit.. CHEERS
You can install pretty much any launcher you want. It doesn't need to be the Google one.......
IMO, Google Now is horrible when standard. Barely any settings to tailor it to taste.
You can install an app drawer application and use it with the Huawei Launcher and it would be better to use than with Google Now Launcher.
This one has minimal permissions and works well.

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to build a new app by merging two or more prebuilt apps? For example, I really like Nova launcher. But I am using Microsoft launcher (formerly Arrow launcher) for it's feed feature. Is there a way in which I can insert the feed feature of Microsoft launcher in Nova launcher & use it as one launcher with the features of both Microsoft & Nova?
No, this is impossible.
Can you please tell me if there is an app that will allow me to use a mi launcher or arrow launcher like feed on my default launcher?
Is there a way to remove the Google search on this phone?
Install a 3rd Party launcher. There are a few that are similar to the pixel launcher, blin Lawn chair. There are other ones like Nova Launcher and Action Launcher.
