Doh.... If you think it's fixed - try turning BT off and on again, and if launcher not reset yet - connect to bluetooth device.
When working with bluetooth it resets default launcher to Huawei one. Extremely annoying.

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

I'm not the OP of the thread, merely another P8lite use who was using Google Now Launcher.
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 ^^
I just updated to Oreo, and I noticed that Huawei widgets don't work on any 3rd party launcher. "App not installed" pops up whenever I try to use them. Is there a solution for this?
The Huawei clock didn't work on Nougat as well.
The Huawei Health widget works for me on Nova and MS Launcher.
I posted the problem with widgets in another thread. I think there is some aggressive power saving going on. I downgraded to Nougat and my phone is good again.
Attached is what Nova Launcher and Huawei told me thru email. Meh.

You can make the lock screen work by adding Nova Action -> Lock Screen. Then go to Nova Settings -> Advanced -> Screen Lock Method (it's at the bottom). Chose Timeout and follow the instructions to enable it.

I don't like any of Nova Launcher's screen lock methods for unrooted phones. So I'm asking for help on how to enable P10's screen lock widget on 3rd party launchers.

I rooted my phone and disabled huawei widgets. No solution found.
This is really annoying! After Oreo update I can´t use the screen lock widget with nova launcher, but it´s working fine with emui launcher.

Hi everyone,
I have a small problem when changing the default launcher. If I change the stock to another one (nova or lawnchair) I lose the dual WhatsApp app. I only can see one shortcut to WhatsApp so I only can use one.
Has anyone change the launcher and have two apps??
Thanks everyone!!!!!
Firstly delete the dual app and try this... Switch to lawn chair or nova then setup the dual app from scratch and your second shortcut should appear.

It seems there isn't that issue on eu rom

Ok, i intended about changing launcher, not about dual apps. Maybe some update can change this issue. Are you in Nova's beta program?

Yes. I can change the launcher. But the dual shortcut disappear. Even if I do it before or after changing the launcher.

i m using nova launcher and also using 2 facebook accounts.. u can try this trick. keep the smart sidebar option on and select the dual app in it..it will show no matter whichever launcher u r using..
You can try this. Lock the cloned app in memory on recent apps. Now change the default launcher to your favourite one. And that's it. You can launch rhe cloned app from recent apps whenever you want.
I have Samsung S10 launcher enabled as default launcher and still using both WhatsApp easily .
For any launcher , Enable dual WhatsApp in side bar , u can also set as floating window
Go to Settings > convenience aid > smart side bar
in side bar settings choose a both WhatsApp and cloned whatsapp
This is just a workaround. There should be no issue accessing cloned apps outside default launcher in the first place.
I'm running Apex launcher on my stock Note 8, and I can't seem to get it to stay saved as the default launcher. I have to reset it constantly. I know this is a common problem, but I can't seem to find a solution. Any pointers?

Have you set Apex as default? Go to settings, apps, hit 3 dots at top, default apps, homescreen.
I'm presently disabling services and packages with adb on my x2. I have Nova launcher installed as my default launcher. I'm thinking of disabling the default huawei stock launcher. Is it safe to disable while Nova is the default launcher?
Lets say I do and something goes wrong in the future where Nova doesnt boot, is there a way to enable usb debugging in the phone since there'd be no launcher present?
have the same question. I'm on chinese version and dont have the choice of using another launcher as the default launcher. wondering if i disable stock launcher, will it default to the only available launcher (nova)

Yeah why can't the Chinese version change stock launcher? Can we switch from Chinese?
Chinese version of Huawei phones only allow stock launcher I guess coz they are gathering data. Not just an issue on mate x2. If I can sort this and get tasker working to turn aod on only when a notification comes in then it's the perfect phone for me!
I actually can disable the stock launcher. I tried it and got Nova to be my only launcher. But i wanna know in case I boot up my phone and Nova doesnt come up, is it possible to enable usb debugging somehow on the phone since there'd be no launcher present?
