Since I updated my Honor 8 on Oreo (C432) some Widgets don't update anymore.
Workarounds I tried yet:
Turn of automatic managing of the apps
Nova Launcher: Activate "restart widgets on resume" option in labotorium
Ignore Batery optimation for those apps
What works (workaround)
Switch screen orientation on home screen (Nova launcher)
Does someone has another solution for the problem?

With the module App Settings for Xposed I could put the home screen launcher landscape when I turned the phone. In 5.1.1 it does not work anymore. Can someone confirm?
I can't confirm because I don't use stock launcher. But launchers like Nova allow landscape mode natively, why not use one of them?
Anyone else have this problem or know of a fix? I can hit the Nova app icon and it will set it the launcher. However, as soon as I hit the home button it reverts back to default. Additionally when in Nova Settings, I tap the header that says tap to set Nova as default launcher, for a half second it acts like it is bringing up another screen momentarily but then stays on the main settings screen. It does the same thing when I scroll down to the Select Default Home where currently Huawei Home is set. I have tried other launchers additional to Nova including: Google Now, TSF, and Smart Launcher. I am currently running the latest update of Nova Launcher Prime 4.3.1, on a GEM-703L, running Android 6.0.
Thanks for any help.
Try this:
1. go to settings > apps>advanced>default app settings
That fixed it! Thank you so much!
Hi,
I updated my Honor 8 to OREO and as soon as i installed nova launcher, i tried to set the double tap gesture for lock the screen but i found a problem (maybe a bug).
Usually I used the Screen Lock built in the Honor 8, but in this upgrade the phone said that, even if there is the shortcut on the widget page and on the Nova gesture shortcut page , it isn't installed.
So now I can't double tap to lock the screen like I used to do. The only way is to use the Nova gesture built in, but it has problems. Or I can lock but I can't unlock with my fingerprint or when i double tap it lock simply turning the screen to black and then, after few seconds locking the phone.
Is there any way to use the Honor8 Screen Lock without having this problems?
My phone is not rooted.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english.
Afaik 3rd party launchers doesn't support system widgets in Oreo. Had the same issue with Evie launcher.
I'm still using nougat, that's really bad. I love to double tap to lock.
Hi friends,
I recently got myself an LG G7 which has the Always-on Display feature with a dimmed clock and notifications.
A bit of research I did indicated that Nova Launcher is not suppose to overwrite somehow the always-on feature.
But I noticed on my device after making Nova Launcher my default home app the always-on has been deactivated.
Within the LG settings it is shown active. I tried to deactivate/reactivate it and also reboot the device but still the dimmed clock won't be shown.
Any hints on how I can bring it back keeping the Nova Launcher too?
Thank you in advance for any replies.
Hi, I have a Samsung S10+ running Android 10 and One UI 2.5.
I am constantly getting an issue with Nova Launcher where if i clear my recent apps the screen refreshes and then One UI takes over and it goes to that home screen rather than Nova. If i then press the Home button again it then takes me back to Nova's home screen again and does stay there until i clear my recent apps again.
Nova is definitely set to the default launcher and when this happens i go into the Nova settings and it shows no launcher is set as default, i then set it as default but the same thing keeps happening each time.
I have tried clearing the cache from both Nova and One UI but this didn't fix anything.
Is this a know issue? It has happened for a while but wasn't that annoying but since a recent android update it seems to be happening all the time now.
Does anyone know if i can fix this?
Thanks
James

Yes , it's because since Android 10, the nav bar and recent UI are managed by your default launcher. That's really infuriating I know. But if you root your device with magisk, there is a module called QuickSwitch that allows you to set a third-party launcher as the nav bar UI provider.
Hope that helps
