Should work for all versions, not just China. Install the launcher of choice, go to settings, app, default apps, home app and choose the launcher you just installed. Back out to home screen and it should be on the new launcher. I use Nova LauncherPro. Much better than Huawei home. There are a few occasions when the launcher will reset to default Huawei home. Just reset your other launcher and you're good to go. Enjoy.

On newer Huawei phones sold in mainland China, it is not possible to change the default launcher through these menus

Then it looks like you're stuck with Huawei Home launcher. I hate that launcher, personally.

So why did you not link to the post that helped you? By giving that answer, you're just being a troll. Link to the post you're talking about.

Note that system gestures won't work anymore. So u need to download a gesture app from play store .
---------- Post added at 03:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 AM ----------
Another way is to download the launcher u want to use and download a gesture app and set the bottom gesture to open ur new launcher . So every time u swipe up trying to go home it will go to the new launcher.

Hello to all,
I dont know if someone did create this post earlier cause i did not find it, correct me if i am wrong.
I am owner of nexus 5 and i have an issue with third party launchers like nova launcher.
I installed recently nova launcher and when i pressed home button it asked me as usually which launcher i prefer
to have as default. I have chosen nova as always..
But when i use google search for example and then i press home button again suddently the window is poping up
again on which launcher i prefer and i choose nova all the time...
This story is too annoying cause it cannot remember that i said always to be nova as default.
If someone has faced this problem your help will be apriciated...
Sorry for bad english if i made mistakes...
Thanks in advance!!!
did you double check in settings > home to see if nova was sticking as the default launcher there? do you have the free or paid version? just curious.

If it is just 7 rows you want, 2 ways..
1 - You can use a launcher such a NOVA / APEX - you can change the homescreen grid to whatever you like
2 - If you are happy to root, then there is an XPOSED module that allows you to customise the Sony launcher in the same manner and select different grid sizes..
easy peasy

There is a more easy way that i am using now.
1. Root phone
2. Install Root Dpi Changer
3. Set to value 240. (Z Ultra Dpi)
4. Reboot. Done!
*Things will get really tiny due to the different screen size. Just set the font size to large or extra large

Just installed the new P release and after switching to Nova launcher notice that the new recent management feature is not there. Odd. Is there a way to add the new style to Nova or do we have to wait for developer to do so?

Do not disable the OOS launcher
I tried that but then it shows both recents app managers....
So, freezing the OP launcher brings back the previous Oreo style recent apps view... trying... it does [emoji2]
Not sure what the fascination with Nova is. Lawnchair, Action Launcher & the OnePlus launcher are all as good or better if you're looking for an AOSP feel.
Personally I just use the OnePlus launcher, and sometimes Lawnchair.
Well, that's why there are many launchers... one uses the one with the features one wants and needs.. Nova does a great job for me.

I did that and solved to go back to the new recents and right now nova is showing both old and new recents for me. Can someone help me solve it?
Can't lock apps using this method... bummer.

The customisation in Nova Launcher, gestures, swipe etc is not fully present in the other launchers you mention, and as for ASOP "feel" you can make Nove look however you like.
I just came from the note 9 to the OP7 Pro, my deviec is rooted and i have downloaded quick switch from magisk. I was wondering if anyone knew a way to get a list view styled recents like the note 9 has? here is a picture for reference https://imgur.com/a/rlSsEFW
I prefer this list style recent screen. If anyone knows how could they let me know?
You will need a custom ROM for that

Nova doesn't. Custom ROMs such as havoc OS have it. It's called slim recents

well i just froze the OP launcher and didn't change anything in nova settings. The apps are on top of each-other kind of view, which I prefer better. The only issue I have now is that the lock button is gone. I run some apps in background for a while, any way I can fix that?

That might be an option baked into the OnePlus launcher
Just downloaded lawnchair launcher for the first time. I really like it for the most part but unfortunately every time I go to the homepage from an app, the launcher is sort of restarting and have to reload everything on the homepage. Is it a setting somewhere I have to change?
You should probably post in the Lawn chair thread. Ive never had that issue using Lawnchair. I always use the updated from telegram and not the official from the playstore. I would advise you to backup your desktop in Lawnchair settings and upgrade via the telegram group.

Have you disabled battery optimization for Lawnchair? Another option would be to wipe data and see if the issue persist. I would also try another 3rd party launcher to test if it's a Lawnchair problem or something else going on.
---------- Post added at 09:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 PM ----------
Now that I think about you may be talking about the slow blink effect that happens on Android 10 with all 3rd party launchers because OnePlus hasn't added support for transition animations for 3rd party launchers. Drop your animations speed to .25 or off completely to make it tolerable. That's what I did but I'm currently back on Stock launcher because those animations are such eye candy.

Weirdly enough the issue only exists when I use navigation gestures, if I use the old-fashioned navbar buttons then it's working without any issues

That's exactly what I was referring to. Try the animation adjustments I mentioned. Took me awhile to understand what you meant by "restarting". I too love Lawnchair and have used it my last 3 devices but what OnePlus did with the gesture animations in Android 10 update is very disheartening. I think the animation works as it should on custom ROMs but that's not enough reason for me to leave stock rooted. I'm actually starting to enjoy the stock launcher with Google feed module.
This is actually an Android 10 issue, nothing to do with OP. It happens on the Pixels with 3rd party launchers too. I think however Google allowed 3rd party launchers to access the gestures with the December security update. Action Launcher for example now implements it with the December update.

A security thing that makes you able to watch Netflix and Amazon Prime amongst other things in highest possible quality. If you root you'll loose L1 and gets downgraded to L3 which means you can only watch the before mentioned services in 480P
