Hi guys, I want to try an icon pack on my non-rooted, stock device, but I also want to use the 'OK Google' function.
Is there a launcher out there with Google Now enabled?
Thanks in advance.
Aaron
Only the Google Experience Launcher has that feature that I know of.
i saw a similar feature on either another launcher, or launcher mod/add on. let me see if i can track that back down.....
Okay, for a bit of background information I among many others have a Galaxy S6 and am currently experiencing a crippled hotword detection from Ok Google.
It only works in the app and where the widget is on a home screen. It does not work when it is off or in a different APP.
I am hoping someone who is rooted and has the same problem can temporarily adjust their build prop under the model and change it to Nexus 5 or SM-N910F and see if that restores the functionality of the google hotword detections under the settings.
When you go to the google search application, go to settings, click on voice, click on "Ok Google" detection, there should be multiple options here, not just "From the Google App". A reboot and maybe even a re-install of the google search apk may be required to properly test this. Either way, let me know. Thank you.

Apparently its been disabled.... If you use Nova launcher it will work from any home screen but it no longer works from any app... Which is a bummer... Used it all the time

Thanks for your reply, but it seems as though you didn't read what I wrote.
I know that it has been disabled. I believe an actual work around may be to modify the build prop as other phones are still functional.
Nova Launcher and the Google Now launcher allow you to use the hotword detection from any home screen, but they do not work in apps or when the screen is off, which is the key here.
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
Here my story.
I live in France. I save a lot of money to get a nice phone.
I buy a find x2 on tradingshenzhen.
Today i discover i can't use a personalized launcher, a personalized SMS app, and continue with "Breeno" assistant ?
And no solutions ?
I'm right ?
Big thanks all
You can use any launcher you wish from the Google play store. Just download and then go into settings and 'default apps' and then set your launcher.
Same applies to your SMS app.
He obviously has the Chinese version, you can't change the launcher on that one. You can force of some of the software and disable Breeno, but you're stuck with the Colour OS launcher and Oppo messaging app.
maybe a workaround using ADB?
Hello,
I am just curious, it is still possible to root a P30 these days? Why I am asking, I would love to use other launcher beside the default one cuz I don't like it, but I don't wanna lose the gesture navigation. If there is a solution, not necessarily rooting, please help me!
Many thanks.
