Anybody reckon that at some point we'll be able to use Samsung Widgets when using Launcher Pro?
I believe on his website, he states that he won't be able to use the phone widgets through Launcher Pro, because of some way it's programmed into the UI.
i tried to re-write signatures with no success. its compatible launch files lie deep within the touchwiz framework
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 use the Google Pixel Launcher on my P30 Pro and it's great
Nova Launcher Pro on my P30 Pro!!!
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...
Hello. I Got a fresh Mi 9 and i want to list all my Apps. But If i scroll From The bottom only Google search opens
Lol, no, sorry.
Xiaomi's devices come with Miui rom, this rom like many Chinese roms doesn't have app drawer. All apps are on your desks like in iOS. If you want app drawer you need to install a third party launcher (Nova, or if you want to stay with a Miui taste, Poco launcher).
Ah thx alot
I have a Lenovo Z5s with ZUI 11.1.171 ST and chinese stock ROM. I want to use gestures with a 3rd party launcher (nova) because i don't like ZUI home. The problem is swiping up doesn't work. Is there any way i can make it work without the default launcher?
Hello everbody, how are you?
I would like to ask for help from a experienced user/developer regarding a issue with Orange Pi Zero 2 Android 10 OS.
Well, people who knows this kind of board, knows that differently from Raspberry, the support and the community have been pretty much a ghost town, and that makes things a bit more complicated.
Anyway, straight to the point, I installed Android 10 from official website drive, it works, but any user got to download parallel App store to install apps which makes the device 'usable' and one of the first things we got to do is to change the launcher, which own some bugs, not sure why.
I tried many launchers, and only 3 worked as I expected, though with some issues:
-2 of the launchers makes impossible to enter android settings without changing it back to the stock launcher, as they also lack of stock shortcuts for the menu
-limits of icon customization, such as freely moving the icons to wherever you want(that's not a major issue, but kinda annoying)
-heavy animations in some menus, it draws too much ram and unfortunately I'm not using a high end device
-lack of bluetooth connection\devices shortcut(but adding device settings would solve the problem as well)
Is there any way to add those shortcuts aside from downloading any app from those App Stores? I mean like a certain file I may download that will those tools available for me(I know developers are not wizards or something but, maybe somebody could help me)?
Is there any solution to this?
Thank you in advance.
