Hey guys. Sorry if this is a stupid question. I've searched and google'd and couldnt find the answer. Could someone explain how to use this app?
I've seen docks with four icons with different apps linked to them, but im stuck with the three buttoms (apps, phone, personalize).
I want to change the dock and some icons but after watching some tutorials for this app the phone doesn't have some of the options in the tutorials.
Im on 2.2.1, S-OFF, and rooted.
Can someone teach me how to do this with this app? And if this app can't do that can someone direct me to one that can?
Thanks!! Sorry for being a noob
To have custom items in your dock use an other launcher then Sense. Something like ADW or launcher pro. Hope this helps

good launchers:
GO Launcher (EX) - my favorite so far
ADW Launcher (EX)
Launcher Pro
OpenHome
Panda Home
Launcher 7 - Windows Phone 7-styled, usable but not really similar to the real WP7 experience
if only go launcher had the ability to disable the dock and use adw icon themes, it would have been perfect.

Well, you could just leave all of the icons in the blank, the go launcher has an option for that.

Yeah, that would've been neat, but I'm sticking to Desktop VisualizeR right now where this wouldn't help either way.

Launcher pro + customer launcher icons.
change icons, and the dock itself.
Excellent. Gives the phone a new look at any time.

launcher pro+ and adw launcher ex both have the option to change the icons in the app drawer. Just download a .apk icon/theme file, try out ADWi2 theme.
How to remove the google search bar from launcher ?
You can't from the stock one. Maybe try using a different launcher.
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
Apex Launcher and Nova launcher are both great replacements that allow you to remove it. remember that you can't use the quick view and circles widgets when using a non-stock launcher though

I was able to get rid of it. But you cannot use that space although it's removed.
Sent from my phone.
go into your apps. settings then apps then click on all, click on google search and then click disable. It will remove the bar from the stock launcher, and the reason why you cant use that space if you drag and drop a icon to your homescreen youll see the outline of your homescreen the amount of space they give you to use and your unable to use that space with search bar gone. thats the reason i use apex launcher.
Dear,
Under MM, if you want to use Google Launcher instead of the welcome Huawei, or Huawei Launcher, download Launcher Google Now and go to applications, and parameters and finally advances parameters and application use by default, and pitch Google Apps, and enjoy the result.

Did you manage to get the App icons uncluttered like in stock android with Google now launcher?
I still have these ugly borders and backgrounds... Even if I use the purev3.hwt theme. It only works on huawei launcher..

I'm running Google Now Launcher, and no, I'm stuck with the hideous icons, too. As much as I like the customization option on the P8lite, it'd would've been nice to have the option to use default app icons (as in, the icons that apps show on their play store page).
Does everyone else has black background under the on-screen buttons and notification bar doesn't blend with the whole launcher? I mean app is not immersive (fullscreen)

If you want to easily change icons install luncher that supports it. Nova is one of the best
Thanks

Can confirm, this is EXACTLY what I was looking for!
Thanks for the recommendation, I'm now wondering why I didn't use Nova Launcher sooner!

Edit the OP than with the recommendation changed from Google Now launcher to Nova.
Nova is great especially if you want a really good stock android experience. Settings are limitless and probably one of the best launchers out there

Anybody know how to set different launcher as default. EMUI doesnt seem to allow you to change default.

on android MM go to settings ->Apps ->advanced(the little gear bellow) -> default app settings-> launcher
Didn't see the solution
on my smartphone google launcher works without any problem, set as default. It need to be set manually in settings, but then it is fully working.

You can also use NOVA launcher. the icons there are the stock icons, without the ugly huawei borders ^^
Hi Guys,
Just installed the Google Pixel Launcher to get more Google and less EUI feeling.
Found it @ http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...-launcher-7-1-1-3359438-android-apk-download/

Settings -> apps -> at the end of the window "default apps" -> launcher and select the default launcher
Just an FYI -
There are quite a few launchers you can try to see which one works best for you. Here's a couple other ones I've tried:
Nova Launcher
Action Launcher
Some of them have some nice/extra features with folders and theme settings (some parts required paid app). I'm currently running the HTC launcher (had to install several APKs). Lacks some of the newer features but looks better than EMUI.
Thanx for the info. I have one problem with this launcher the Google search bar doesn't work. Were you able to het that working?

For anyone that's having crash when choosing wallpaper, you just have to install Google's wallpaper app. It works without the pixel launcher too and has some beautiful wallpapers!

Hi
Hi i installed this launcher but i have a problem , i dont want to see the LeApps and other chinesee apps is there a way to hide them with another appplication like Nova launcher has the Hide Apps ? Thank you
I have found the Pixel launcher to be buggy. I'm all in on Nova Launcher. Custom icons, layout, tweaks, etc.
I really love this laucher. No problems whatsoever. Clean and simple.
If you want to use Google cards (swiping right from homescreen) install it as system app.

Hi all,
What is the best launcher to install ?
The two things I want are to be able to hide apps, and to have to swipe up to access app drawer as opposed to having an icon for it.
I have tried a couple but the p20 original launcher always ends up taking over. Or with the Lawn launcher for some reason I could add the time/weather widget.
Thanks
Try Ruthless pixel launcher from XDA labs. (If it crashes go to settings and enable storage permission; Bug with pixel launchers on huawei phones)

Get rid of Google assistant on home page, and hide the useless apps in the app drawer I don't want to see?

It's right there in dock settings. "Bottom search bar" Disable the feed in the bottom of "At a glance" settings.
To hide apps simply long press, edit and tick hide app icon.

On the at a glance I only have the attached. And long pressing an app only gives me app info or some generic options?
Long press the homescreen to access settings. You sure you got the right app?

I have now, cheers! Does the date at the top pick up the weather when it syncs or will I need to download a new widget for date and weather in one?
Also how do you go about downloading different icon packs that will work with the launcher ?
Thanks for your help
Nova, Evie...there are many out there but these are my favorites. Huawei widgets don't seem to work on any custom launcher.
Evie Launcher has been my favorite for a really long time and matches both of your requirements. Plus, the ability to change Icon pack not only by pack but also one by one is a big plus. Smooth, clean and minimalistic and has a couple of cool features.

For me the best launcher which i always go back to is LawnChair and it's Google feed add-on.
It's a lot like the Pixel launcher but has a lot more settings.
Icon size, theming, weather provider, gestures, app hiding etc.
It's rapid too and fluid, and it's free
Make sure the launcher is set as the default one, if the 2nd launcher in use crashes then the only thing the system can do is revert back, if you're using lawnchair, use the latest version.
I have it installed and mine never reverts back.
Another way would be if you were rooted you could freeze the original launcher in titanium.
CPL wins hands down.

Most customizable. No contest
Total launcher.

Steep learning curve though
Long time on my previous phones I used Nova and Apex launcher. For 2 years now I am using Microsoft Launcher which supports icon notifications for free and I must say I'm still returning to it. I tried Evie launcher on my P20 Pro but for some reason it consumed the battery a lot. Microsoft launcher does not consume battery at all (always like 1 mAh <), its fast and stable, modern looking but different compared to "stock android looking" launchers.

I use Nova Launcher, as it gives me everything I need. If you have problems with reverting to the stock launcher you can try to lock the new launcher in resent
See this screen recording to know how
keeps on recovery from crashing all the time, ive changed the permissions as stated above as well
I use Nova, bought the prime when it was on sale awhile back for $0.50
Nova forever,
