I don't know whether this might work but, with Nova launcher, you can set it to be the default launcher from within the Nova settings.

Thanks I just tried that and get a "no apps" error whje it flicks ovrt to the menu
I'm guessing you can't actually change it then? Gotta admit it's frustrating having a phone with such immense horsepower that has something that feels like a 20 mph speed limiter

Does split screen work with the nova launcher? I've heard any other launcher besides the default disables some features

You're right - split screen doesn't work with Nova launcher but, for me, that doesn't matter. Overall, until ColorOS progresses quite a bit further, I'd say the gains far exceed the losses.
Nope it doesn't work, it just forced back to default

Why dont you just take one of the many Android launchers and skin it to look like a Nexus launcher? Then it looks exactly how you want it, and its completely stable...

Nice home app! Very smooth. No lags.
It works very well except when I press the top button to see the menu to shut down, the phone freezes and after a while it reboots, not on the initial "Sony Ericsson" screen but in the next animated screen. So, to shut down the phone I need to take the battery out. I don't know if it happens only with my X10...
Other nice feature to consider: Samsung Widgets.

According to slim bean/slim rom Nova uses the least RAM.

Yeah, to everyone their own, I guess... I personally don't like either Go or Nova, but I do like ADW. However, I still tend to use the stock TW launcher most of the time.

If you're rooted you can use System App Remover. It just works reliable and you can test first to freeze the apps you want just to see if it messes with system stability. If it does you can undo and if it doesn't, you can permanently uninstall.
System app remover works well
It's almost impossible to delete an important module or app as they're classified and can be undelete from recycle bin.
Do not remove apps you don't know the purpose of. If you can find the app in Play Store, most probably it is safe to remove.

Even so with some modding, patient, time and risk all apps could be replaced.
Some Modaco custom ROMs have stock Huawei apps replaced with Google's to provide vanilla-ish experience.

I do transparent clock and weather as it seems light, complete and good looking.
As a dumb American I appreciate that it gives the options of either Celsius and Fahrenheit temps, but the same option for km/h and mph wind speeds would be nice to have as well. Plus we use coal not wind power, so a plume of black smoke that moves at different speeds would be a better icon/animation than wind turbines.
Has anyone noticed that third party icons in emui home look kinda blurry and not as sharp for a 1080p display, weirdly enough I captured a screenshot and looking at the screenshot in the gallery of the home screen, the icons were actually sharper in the screenshot than on emui home.
Anyone who noticed it too? If not please try taking a screenshot of emui home screen then compare the screenshot in gallery to the actual screen.

No, it is not enabled.
You can't really tell with normally looking at screen, unless you really focus on the details of the icons and compare it with the screenshot you take.
In that case, that wouldn't be a big issue to me
