Hi, I have trouble setting Google Now launcher on my Honor 6 plus. I have downloaded Google app and Google now Launcher from play store and when running Google Now I get a message about setting it under Manage Apps -> Default App Settings but when I get there there's no Google Now launcher option. I rebooted my phone, reinstalled, rebooted again and still no Google Now option.
Huawei launcher is fine but I wanted to use a voice search app and that's the only reason I want to switch to Google Now. I tried the same with Nova Launcher and it worked fine. My phone is rooted and using CWM recovery by the way, although I don't think that affects it.
Hello, it seems that new lollipop build b532 keeps changing sms app back to default (huawei contacts) even if the new app (choms sms) is set as default in the default app menu in settings (tha app is additionally set to be 'trusted').
What's going on here??
Each time I leave my phone for a while, my default application is changed to huawei one:-/
Is there any way to set it once for all to 3rd party app?
Have you tried adding it to protected apps? So it doesn't close after you turn off your screen.

yes, didn't help
Hmm... It would be a bit risky, but what would happen if you froze/disable (or even uninstall, but make a backup of the apk) the Huawei messaging app?
unfortunately it's not possible as the app is also dialer and contacts manager (all at once:/)
Trying to switch to Nova Launcher. Changing the default launcher to Nova doesn't stick. The default keeps resetting automatically back to EMUI. Looking for a solution.
i have the mate 9 and nova launcher prime, on my phone it sticks to nova launcher, you have to set the default to nova launcher and then keep pressing the back button until you exit the setting pages. If you close the settings after it may create problems. Also, you can set default voice control to google launcher3 this will enable google now to be on all the time and on any screen. This works well on my phone. Also if you install google Allo app, then you will get google assistant on that app, so when you say "ok google, open google allo app", you will get google assistant. My experience with the mate 9 has been good, but overall i think the galaxy s7 edge wins hand down. If you are considering getting the mate 9 pro, then dont, get the s7 edge and then upgrade to s8 that will be launched in march/april 2017.

Thanks, that's how I do it. But, EMUI still keeps taking over.
Go to default application settings and choose nova as default.
Nova
Have you installed nova prime?,
If you have, then follow the steps i posted, if it still doesnt work, factory reset your phone and then install nova prime first and then google launcher3 app straight afterwards. This will stop any other apps from drawing over nova and google launcher., plus you will have nova and google now from any screen by saying "google now", also if you install google allo app, then saying "ok google open up google allo app, you will get google assistant. Google assistant is loaded into allo app. Drop me email and let me now how you get on. This works for me, even if i reboot phone it still works. I think when you are selecting nova launcher as default app, huawei home is drawing over that app to set itself to default. Also in app permissions you should select yes for everything for nova (trusted app) and also google launcher3. This will then allow nova and google launcher3 (which is the newer version of google now) to draw over apps you install afterwards.
Please email me and let me know how you get on, i am sure it will work after you do this...,
Why this one doesn't work?

It works, but after a while EMUI becomes default again.
One of my buddys have the same Problem. But he get a Error Message that the Nova Launcher get a conflict with EMUI.
By the way, another good launcher comes from Microsoft. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.launcher
It works fine on my Mate 9
Enabling "Agressive Desktop" in Nova settings seems to have fixed this.
This is driving me crazy. Only happens occasionally. The only pattern I can detect is in the car with Waze and Google Music playing through Bluetooth which seems to nearly always result in Huawei Home becoming the default launcher.
Tried the above and granting Nova and Nova prime "ignore battery optimization" all to no avail.
I am using the Chinese Mate on B153.
Any further suggestions?
I'm having exact same issue. Really hope they fix this with a software patch.
Besides nova launcher, have you guys been able to get any other launchers to work stable?

I have the same issue driving me nuts.
I contacted nova and they suggested uninstalling nova and reinstalling which I did ok for a night then the same problem .
I hope once I get my bootloader code and install the europe ROM it might help if it keeps doing it it's a deal breaker for me I think
Been using a combo of Google now and nova launcher for a week.
.That was on b110. Still going without issue on b138.
Assuming you guys are setting up default in the setting/app/setting/defaultapp
Yes I do the deafaults and it's ok for a while then bang unlock the phone and it's reset it's a pain

Are you using any other Huawei default apps? Think I might have had issues with message and email app.
No I use Google message and outlook

Article went up on androidauthority today. It was about mate 9 issues and fixes. Might want to check it out. Doubt there is anything new there though.
Have you factory reset yet? Reinstalled ROM/update. It's definitely a bug
Was going to wait for my boot loader unlock code first ðŸ˜
I've had the same problem when running Chinese firmware. This problem, thank goodness, does not exist with non-Chinese firmware.
That's what I was hoping for 7 days left so I can apply for the code then I can use funky to blitz it
Hello, i got some issues with Sub. i Use substratum with andromeda (non rooted) and Oreo 8.0 on my Pixel. Using Baltic UI theme.
I didnt themed any app.
First one is when i use Pushbullet app to transfer files between devices, when i try to open any file transfered to phone liek txt or pdf (besides images) it crashes the app.
Second one is that any application which has access to calendar adds anything to calendar it adds events as Birthdays, and then after 5 second even this birthdays are gone from calendar.
Maybe im wrong and substratum has nothing with it, but please let me know is it possible to substratum crash that apps and causes that problems with calendar?
And additional question, if i want to get rid of substratum themes and apply factory settings should i disable themes and uninstall substratum before or can i go to factory settings besides that? (non rooted installation of substratum)
And also can i update system to 8.1 with installed themes or i should get rid of them before? Thanks in advance for replying.
Sorry if any of these questions were asked before but there is so many topics and post about that so it gets really hard hard to get exact answer.
Thanks in advance!!!
