apps not opening in app drawer

I'm not sure if it's because I have Go Launcher but occasionally when I go to the app drawer to open an app it doesn't open. The app icon would dim as if it is about to launch and then nothing. It's stuck. I have to exit out of the drawer and then go back to launch.
I'd say it happens about 20% of the time trying to open an app.
Anyone have this problem/solution?

I've used Golauncher Ex for months and haven't seen that issue. Not sure what would be the cause. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstall?

Cant seem to get a custom launcher to stick since I updated to Marshmellow

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!

How to set a new launcher as my default launcher

I can not set a new launcher as default. It only goes right back to the factory launcher after I hit the back button. In settings, apps, the xperia home launcher isn't even set to default for me to clear it....... Whats going on?

Settings apps does not open

Hi.
I have a strange problem. I have FRD-L19 for about 1 week now. I noticed twice that the settings app does not open when I try to start it from the homescreen (I'm using nova launcher)
When I touch the app icon screen gets white for a split second and than back to homescreen. I can touch the icon as often as I want, the settings app won't open. When I try to open settings app via novas app drawer the app opens. After that it is also possible to start via homescreen. I haven't tried with emui launcher yet.
Has anyone noticed a similar behavior?

Try a hard reboot. Hold power button till device reboots. I notice weird issues sometimes and the power menu reboot option does not do a hard reboot. Seems more like a soft reboot.

I know previous versions of Nova used to messe up with Emui4.
Have you tried using it without Nova to see the settings app behaviour?

Definitely an issue with the launcher, I've never had an issue with Action Launcher 3 if you don't want to use the stock launcher?

Emui 5 app drawer missing

Hi guys I just updated via ota from hi care app to b360 on my frd-l09 and I tried to use the app drawer home style but the app drawer is missing .. The actual space for it in my dock is occupied but I can't press it or find the drawer button in the widgets or something.. Any ideas on how to fix it ?

I assume you already selected the drawer home screen style in the settings menu. Do you use Emui launcher or you use other like Nova. If you use the alternative, try clearing its app data and uninstalling it.
If that does not work I suggest backup everything and factory reset. You can use Hisuite for this so you dont lose your app data. Make sure to not restore any alternative launcher app(Nova, others)

I normally use action launcher but wanted to switch to stock ..does it affect the emui launcher ?

I used Nova myself with pixel style drawer before EMUI ota. It does not affect my EMUI 5 launcher. I havent used Action launcher in a while and i dont know if you use gesture or shortcut for your drawer settings before.
BTW if you factory reset try using Hisuite as i have difficulties getting my phone backup from google in the phone setup menu.

Enable it from homescreen settings

I did enable it from the home screen settings and instead of having an app drawer I got a blank space.. That's the problem

Maybe something went wrong during the upgrade. Restart the phone
If the issue still remain, I will suggest that you factory reset the phone.

Do a factory reset

It is settings. Settings -> Home Screen Style -> select drawer.
