Launcher - Huawei P9 Questions & Answers

Is there anyone who has changed launcher on P9?
I have tried Z-launcher and a few more, but I can't get anyone to work properly.
When I push the home button, it switches back to the standard launcher.
Solutions for this are more than welcome!!

I'm using Google now launcher no problems. I can't recall how I did it but this is from a quick Google search...
1. Settings>Apps>Advanced>Default app settings>Launcher
2. Select your launcher!

In my Settings>Apps>Advanced>Default app settings>Launcher, there is only huawei launcher.
Any idea... i'm gonna crazy with huawei launcher.

Use Nova instead. Works like a charm and with a little customization it looks pretty much the same like GNL.

Does that seems to you nongo launcher? Do you like it more than of huawei?
Thank you

Well, on a related issue. How can one install a lockscreen from the play store and have it as the default one? I have to choose NONE for the Huawei lockscreen to be disabled and the 3rd party lockscreen to be enabled but NONE is faded so I can't select it. Anyone knows how to get around it?

How to sort App Drawer Icons Alphabetically ?

Rather than arranging them 1 by 1. is there a way to arrange the icons alphabetically automatically? I am using the default launcher.....
Download "sort apps" from the market. Its designed for touchwiz and works great on the tab for what you want.

I'd switch to an alternate launcher like Zeam. Sorts automatically and is amazing on a tablet.

Oh god, so awesome. Didn't even know that existed. That was the last thing driving me crazy about TouchWiz.
Have you tried Launcher Pro? Alphabetical sorting, app hiding, etc.

This requires root privilege. Thank you

You might not like this method because it also causes all your widgets to disappear from from the home screen & maybe even reset your desktop settings but you can go to
Settings > Applications > TwLauncher > Clear data
The launcher should sort all installed apps alphabetically
The appsorter is what I need,thank you.

Any ICS launcher with folders in app drawer?

The only one I could find is go launcher but its laggy on ICS rocket rom 1.5? Any suggestions?.... Thanks... Envy

Go to the market and give Go Launcher Ex a try. Best Launcher out there IMO and it is free.
Folders in App drawer, on home screens and in quick launch area as well.
Claude H.
Have you found any other launchers that can do this except go launcher ex? To bad you cant hide the drawer when using it on tablets.
Try SSLauncher, folders were just added, they're called parcels.

Turn off scrolling wallpaper

Is there a way to turn off scrolling wallpaper without using a third party launcher?
Nope!
I haven't found a way..
Sent from my D5803 using XDA Free mobile app
Just select any other wallpaper. Or did i understand you wrong? :|
You could always use another launcher with more settings like nova there you can disable it.
(e) nevermind, didn't completely read your post
Cheers guys, I've decided that I prefer Nova Prime anyway so it's no longer an issue

Edit: I run google now launcher, I know using a different launchers allows this.

Try no icon and use gesture (depending on the launcher). The rest of your screen is six icons across except the dock. For example I use down swipe gesture to expand notifications, up swipe to open app drawer (with animation set to open app drawer from bottom of the screen), double tap to sleep, two finger swipe for quick settings.

You can take just the app drawer from Textile OS (Named finger) and use sky blue night, in the options of Layers Manager.
I like the ones in the Min icon pack.

I downloaded that app, and even got SkyBlue. but it doesn't seem to be sticking once it asks me for a soft reset.
I just noticed that it themed my setting, but not my icons, background, etc.
NOTE: I seen somewhere I might need BusyBox?

Don't use the soft reboot. I always do a full reboot and it works and you shouldn't need busybox. I don't have it installed.

Thanks! Do you know how too set it up so I don't power down the device and have a reset button. I have the rooted stock looking ROM.

I use the advanced reboot in gravitybox but that requires Xposed. I don't know how you feel about that cause I know some people just hate it. You can also get an app like terminal emulator and type su to grant superuser then type reboot. There might also be an app in the play store that could do it but I don't use those. Someone else would have to suggest one of those.
Is using Xposed a bad thing? If not I will throw it on this phone...

It depends on who you ask. I say research it and try it if you want. Just make a backup right before you install it and you can restore that if you don't like it. But personally, I don't think it's as bad as some people say.
