There's a new update on nova 5.5.1, maybe it can help. it says "Fix FC on huawei devices."

Avoid using any stock widget with it. Nova doesn't like Huawei widgets, or Huawei widgets don't like Nova.

works now with nova 5.5.1

The companion requires a restart of nova after changing settings. It works fine afterwards here

I have the same problem.

DON'T add any Huawei stock widgets !!!!! ... It crashes Nova stone dead !!!. I like the Huawei weather widget, but adding it kills Nova (and then you need to uninstall Nova to get it to work again). Adding widgets downloaded from the google play store works fine ... Running mine with Nova quite happily now with a downloaded weather widget and all my custom options.... This must be a free "feature" with EMUI..... woe betide trying to add one of the default Huawei widgets to another launcher....

I had never seen that, I used to install weatherpro windget...I just try now .. it's true Nova crashes, with Apex Launcher Pro it's worst!

Works just fine from day 1. But like everybody mentioned, don't add stock widget. It will automatically revert back to stock launcher. You don't have to uninstall. Just select Nova as default launcher again.

Nova Launcher not working properly on my Mate 10. I tried to create a shortcut activity for "Screen Resolution" because I don't get correct resolutuion on my Android Auto screen in my car, and I need to find a work around to toggle the screen resolution everytime I use GPS.
Nova Launcher not working properly when you try to use the flash light (torch)

Im using Nova on my Mate 10 with no issues at all. Mine is C636 119 firmware.

Yes, if you add any stock weather widget on Nova, it will keep crashing untill you uninstall or clan Nova cache.

I have no issue with the full functionality of Nova launcher on my Huawei Mate 10 pro except for the wallpaper. PLs note that I got my phone in Asia. Only issue that I have is that the wallpaper does fill up the screen completely when I tilt it to a horizontal position. It only fills up half of the screen.

I have no problem with nova, really don't know what to do in your situation
Maybe you should try to update nova?

Have you try with animated wallpaper full screen enabled?

it works nova prime 5.5.3

Alternate Launcher anyone, Pixel Launcher?

Has anyone got any alternative launcher working on this, I don't like the big icons filling up my home screen and the app drawer.
Thanks in advance.

I have Nova installed and running for the same reason but as soon as I try to add a widget it crashes and reverts to stock launcher

Why not try Nova Launcher it has a lot of customisation options.

First thing I did was install Nova Launcher

Nova for me and I have not experienced any crashes with widgets.

Just installed newest Version Nova Prime and Tesla Unread. Works perfect

Using Action Launcher .
originally using Action launcher using an imported layout and it kept crashing, but since resetting layout it seems stable.
worst thing about huawei phones is how they manage launchers and keep forcing their launcher on you

try also the microsoft launcher...it's amazing... used nova before but it's so cute and minimalistic. I like it.

I'm using nova (prime) and a android p theme. I had a crash when adding widgets once, but now it works fine.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I have a paid version of Nova but it never occurred to me to try it first. I am using it now and I like it, will give the Microsoft launcher a try also.
cheers

It seems to be Huawei specific widgets that bork Nova.
Weather Underground is fine, the Huawei Weather widget really upsets Nova, I've had to wipe the app data just to get Nova to restart
I've submitted a crash report and dump to Tesla Coil, so let's see what happens

I think for emui, you need to use third parties widgets if using nova launcher. Some of the emui widgets will cause crash....

anyone using magisk could try and flash the pixel launcher, thats what i plan to do once i get the phone
really love the pixel launcher on my 5T

Hi there, did you do anything specific to get Action Launcher to work in the first place ? i installed and it just crashes immediately when i try and run it (i've sent a bug report to AL dev team).

No not really.
I reset cache
Completely uninstalled and then reinstalled
Been stable ever since
Sorry I can't be of any more help

I have been using Nova Launcher for years but have switched to Microsoft Launcher as of recent and I have to say that I really enjoy it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.launcher
P.S Just make sure to change default search engine from Bing back to Google and desactivate Cortana

Did the same for me no matter what I tried! Using nova now which I'm more than happy with

I use Lawnchair Launcher + Lawnfeed

Nova is pretty awful on the P20 looks like I will be changing away for the first time in years. Previously had on all my phones including the Pixel 2XL.
3rd party widgets just aren't auto-updating. Another Widget, was stuck on yesterdays event, Agenda Widget doesn't display my full calendar and just says "Loading" guess it's time to find something else. Looked at Microsoft Launcher but don't like the way you can't hide the homescreen indicator taking up space at the bottom and not looking clean like I want.

Pixel Launcher works great.

KLWP & Nova Launcher - Wallpaper Scroll Issue

Hi guys
I am reaching out to you guys because I haven't found an answer in the world wide web and probably some others would have the same problem as I have.
I recently installed KLWP app to customize my wallpaper. Problem that I am facing is that with no used Launcher (Nova, Apex, Evie) I can make my wallpaper scroll. Option is always on and I also checked that I have the same amount of pages in KLWP and my home screen. Not even with the standard launcher of P20 it's possible.
Does someone of you have a potential solution for me?
Thanks a lot for your help and best regards from Zurich

No solution, but the same problem on a P20 (not Pro). Tried to set a picture as wallpaper in Nova Launcher, but scrolling doesn't work. I also tried to force scrolling in the nova settings, but this crashes Nova.

I have a potential solution for you. I have had exactly the same problems like, as it seems, a lot of other Huawei users and nothing seemed to work. I then installed a bunch of different launchers and I finally got it working with Action Launcher. It worked out of the box, even tho if I made changes within the action launcher the KLWP became static again. I switched betwwen stock launcher and Action Launcher until I had my KLWP set up with all the settings I needed. You have to play around with that a little I guess, but I really think it will work for you.
The Launcher is this one.
Kind regards from Germany!

has there been any solution or work around for this? as i have a pretty cool setup i used for my previous sony xperia z2 and want to use it form y p20 pro but wall paper scrolling is integeral to it.

When you choose wallpaper click on the scrollable icon so it turns blue, your wallpaper is now scrollable when you apply it

I did the scrollable option in the standard launcher and it worked but I'm more interested in getting it to work using nova launcher. That's where everything seems to break down on me. Using standard everything works the way I want, just to complete the setup, I need to fully customize my app looks and shortcuts.

Same issue with Honor 10. Force scroll option on Nova Prime crashes the launcher.

Do you have the ability to select live wallpapers through the normal stock launcher?
As I've noticed on stock launcher the only live wallpapers you can see are the ones through Huawei's Theme App and no option to use external live wallpapers, so I wonder if this is the problem. I've emailed them and just waiting for a response as they state you should click on 'more' and then get option for live wallpapers in top right screen of which I don't, it's only the huawei theme app

Wallpaper scrolling works for me using Nova. I can also select external live wallpapers using Huawei's themes app.
If I use certain wallpaper apps to apply the wallpaper directly from their app, it doesn't work. But I found that once applied, I can then use nova wallpaper selector to reselect the same wallpaper from its 'history' options and this forces the wallpaper to now scroll.

I was on 156 and now on Android Pie EMUI 9. Scrolling still works for me. Stock theme.

On my side, i try to disable the wallpaper scrolling because when i set a static "portrait" picture, it zoom the picture and it's a mess >_< (nova launcher set in static wallpaper)

So you are on a totally different model/firmware as not all P20 Pro's are the same, it doesn't work on the CLT29-8.1.0.131 (C782)
Update: according to Huawei 3rd Party Live Wallpapers are not supported.
In response, please note that Google live wallpaper, KLWP or any other non Huawei themed live wallpaper are not supported by the device

I've not gotten Nova Launcher Pro to work. As others have stated, if I select Scroll Wallpaper to On, nothing happens. Just a static wallpaper. If I choose forced, it crashes.
The Microsoft Launcher works fine however. Just set a regular wallpaper to scrollable in the Huawei Wallpaper app, then you can apply KLWP. This has worked for me at least. The drawback of the Microsoft Launcher is that it doesn't have the workaround for the 5 second delay which is a pain. I've reported the issue to Microsoft a few times, both on the Google Group and Twitter, but so far, nothing.

SOLUTION :_Wallpaper scrolling in klwp
Its simple.... If u have 3 screen klwp live wallpaper jst save it from klwp and come to home screen(hope you have nova) then hold the screen untill it arrives to add screens.
Add 3 blank screens and feel the magic of klwp.
U must also enable wallpaper scrolling in nova settings

Third party launchers on P30 Pro?

Hi all.
Wanted to ask if anyone has been able to install other launchers on the P30 series. It's probably the only reason why I'm still holding back from getting this device. EMUI isn't exactly the benchmark to beat when it comes to UI design and functionality, and I've read before that EMUI 9.0 and above broke alternative launchers like Nova Launcher and Hyperion.
Was anyone able to try installing another launcher and successfully set it as the default launcher app? I also remember an issue before that it kept asking you which launcher app you wanted to use whenever you pressed the home button.
Many thanks!

Nova works fine without issues.

Same, also using Nova on my P30. Everything working fine here.

Using Actionlauncher without problems.

Fantastic. That's good news!

Definitely no issue unlike vivo phones which randomly switches back to their stock launchers. In china however, i read that they blocked launcher change on huawei devices. That was on the 9.0 though.

Nova, Lawnchair Alpha and Hyperion all working fine for me, the only launcher I've tried that causes issues is the Poco Launcher.

As per my previous P9 and Honor V10 i use Nova most of the time but sometimes use Microsoft Launcher for a few weeks every now and then to see how it feels.
I always come back to Nova in the end as it has additional options I use.

I am using China version P30 pro, I could not set the default launcher to Nova even I installed it. Is there any way to do it? Thank you!

Yeah they dont allow launcher change for phones in china. This goes to Vivo and Oppo as well. First and foremost, you must install nova. Next, use ADB to remove the stock launcher but a safer option would be using Package Disabler app to disable the stock launcher. Make sure you already have Nova or another launcher installed before doing this.

Only in the chinese version of Huawei smarphone is avoided to install other launchers. In international firmwares is allowed (I tested Nova, Action, Pixel, Launchair... All worked fine).

Use EVIE Lancher much better then nova for me. You can make good things on it.

mine is microsoft launcher, it's best for me so far

Nova on my P30 Pro, works like a charm!

Thanks everyone for your feedback. Absolutely loving my P30 with Hyperion Launcher. ?

Nova works well, but all alternative Launcher have bugs on using Huawei's own Widgets.
For ex. you can't use the Weather Widget properly without crash when adding your town
The clock works only after changing grid to higher size even there is no need to.

Yup these issues have existed since I had my P9.
It's a shame as I would like to use Huawei built in weather widget but it crashes other launchers so I have to have an extra app.

Using Microsoft launcher flawlessly...
I know what you're talking about... It was a bug with Mate 20 and EMUI 9.0... But no issues with EMUI 9.1...

Nova launcher has desktop & app drawer?

Sorry if this is a newbie question. The P30 Pro has finally come down enough in price that I want one. I know next to nothing about EMUI. I've only had Samsungs up till now and always used Nova launcher quite happily. If I put that on the P30 Pro, will I have what I am used to: a desktop with a few apps and folders and access to an app drawer with all my apps?

Yep.
That's how I have both my phones set up with Nova Prime, works fine.
