open your app drawer, select the widgets tab, drag and drop any widget of your choice to the homescreen.
If you don't like the behaviour of the default launcher, then install apex or Nova.

Hi
I use go launcher ex i really like the effects but now i update to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 and i want to use the normal icons, is possible to only use go launcher effects? I did not find any similar theme

Not sure what you're going at but i dont think you can use Go launcher effects on Twlauncher
Are you talking about the themes or the transition animations? Go launcher has a huge number of themes, more so than any other, I believe. So getting a similar theme on another launcher may be difficult (not impossible)
If you mean animations, that's available on almost every launcher now. Try apex, nova launchers and see if they suit you. If not revert to go launcher. No harm done :thumbup:

For customization, go launcher pretty much beats anything out there....but....it is probably the most resource hungry launcher available. I used to use it on my old phone (galaxy W) and the amount of lag it caused was almost painful. Then i flashed a cusRom to it and started using trebuchet....much faster and smoother, but virtually no customization possible. I'm now using Apex...sort of half way between the 2 previous launchers....*some* customization and *virtually* no lag....Nova is at a similar level with Apex......

Everyone has their own opinion on launchers. Try them, find one that you like and will be happy with.
I myself use GO EX also (I froze TW). I'm happy with this one.

I like Ex because the transition effects and the pattern shortcut (double tap screen) i just want to use this features with the stock icons, i dont want to use any theme or skin from Ex, just functions

There are apps that allow for gesture control. Search the play store. As for transition effects, apex and nova have a few. Not as many as Go does, but c'est la vie. You can't have it all. Else if you can live with the (negligible) lag, stick with Go and find a way to skin it to look like the stock launcher.

I personally love Nova Launcher on the HAM2. Here's a shot of my home screen with the following customization:
- Nova Launcher - Be sure to enable the "L" developer preview in for App animation under Look and Feel
- Moonshine Icon pack FREE on Google Play
- "L" inspired HD wallpaper
- Hello SMS
- SwiftKey keyboard
No screenshot, but I'm a Nova Launcher fan.

It looks so "girlish" to me.
Nova Launcher fan as well!
Custom UCCW skins, the Nova Quick search bar (L style) and the new Play Music widget.
I can't post screenshots yet BUT....
I use Mini Launcher. It's like stock android but with more customization. I also have this really cool wallpaper that responds to the touch; it mimics water. I'll come back and actually post some screenshots when I can.
UPDATE: I installed Nova Launcher seeing as how popular it is. It actually runs much better than the Mini Launcher I was using. It's much more responsive and it gets rid of the stupid gray boxes around the stock apps. I think I know what I'll be using now.....

If you're up to it, get Prime! Adds a few more features and on top of that, Nova is already a solid launcher.
Good ol' Google now launcher

I looked at Prime already but I don't think I would really use the features that are included. I'll keep it in mind though. I might find them useful later.

Don't the gray rectangles around the app icons bother you? Maybe I'm just OCD but I couldn't stand those.....I'm so happy they're gone!
Bothers me like hell . haha
I downloaded a theme that got rid of the rectangles but is hit or miss..
What I hate is the gray background on the home but on back area...

I think we need root to change it. It would require a change to the build prop.

So. Here are all the themes u could put to change the icons and wallpaper and lock screen on huawei devices :
http://www.emui.com/plugin.php?id=themezone
Don't matter if it's wrong device it still works. Download one and put it in HW theme folder in SD card, and it shows on the stock theme app. I used the balanced magazine theme to get rid of all the gray box thingies when using the google now launcher.
I'm using Holo Launcher HD.
Wondering what Launcher is most used with the Note 4.
I've always used Nova primarily cause I like the icon gestures options and increased grid options . But new to the Note 4 and just wondering with the Spen and all most would stick with Touch Wiz.
I'm on Nova since this got the smart gestures and works simple the best for me not to much just enough of everything.
I installed nova as I'm used to it also. I don't think it takes away from any of the spen functionality switching to nova though. I may be wrong.

The only thing I've noticed we can't do with Nova is ... 'pin' Action memos to our screen. On TW launcher the memos have a pin icon top right which dissapears on 3rd party launcher.

But you can put said pinned notes on the homescreen via SNotes correct?

Via the widget, yes. That is a different method than pinning individual action memos
And GEL is Google Experience Launcher
Sorry xposed XGel is a tweak to customize the launcher.
I use Action Launcher. It has unique functionality, like the ability to swipe up on a icon and assign any widget to it. It's fast too

Nova launcher because i can pull down the notification with a swipe from the homescreen without reaching the status bar.

Nova since Galaxy S1. I like the customization and its very fast and fluid.

Please add the Nokia Z Launcher to the poll.
I've tried a few since getting my note 4, smart launcher is nice, then Nokia z launcher (which I loved) but the best for me so far is launcher 8 for Android it looks so cool on the note 4 screen
Hi, I am really, really interested in this phone. However, I am somewhat put off by the non standard software. Has anyone changed the launcher to a more standard one? Is operation compromised on anyway if you use Google Now launcher for example?
That was the first thing I did. But I use Nova or Erie. Works great!
For reviewing purposes i always use the standard software/launcher the first week. I'm still not a fan, altho it's getting better every phone they make.
Using Nova for a few days now and works flawlessly.
But any launcher that is android 8.0 oreo compatible, will work (so almost all launcher)
I used Apex launcher and it is great with lots of very nice features

Yes I have the same problem with Nova Launcher. I get a "Permission Denied" message when I try to open the Torch app and also get a "App not installed" when I try to add the Screen Lock widget to the homescreen.
I'm on BLA-L29 8.0.0.119 (C636)
I use TSF Shell 3d.... It is really good with tons of unique features...
I love Evie, very light, very responsive and enough features.
I'm using nova too and yes it's a bit buggy at the moment. I've the issue with the torch app, but it seems that it works ok from the notification center.
About other stuff:
I hate the fact that there is no animation when you push on the Google search bar. I had to remove it from the home because any time i clicked on it i felt like i was going to puke. Furthermore, if you want to enable the google feed page, you have to download the google companion apk from the web.
All in all it works, but I'm a bit worried that the switch from the standard launcher can block out some of the huawei AI features.
huawei's launcher is not bad at all. It is really smooth, and of course being it tailored on the device in the first place, it's totally bug free and it's the one that best matches the rest of the system. The problem is that it doesn't allow you to customize much stuff. For example applying play store icon packs it's a total mess, and the default icons are totally, completely, absolutely ****. You can just try to sort out something from the huawei theme app, but at the moment the themes sold there are not even worth a download. I switched to android because i wanted to try the "customize" experience and if I'm not having it, i get nervous.

Because I don't like stock launcher cause it tries to mimic iOS I use Nova with no crashes or anything else, you can use also pixel launcher with custom icons applied with Huawei themes from playstore.
