So I want to install Google Now Launcher on my RN2 Prime with the official global dev ROM, but when I try to open it, it says I need to go to settings and select it over the default launcher. When I get there, Google Now doesn't show up-has anyone else had this problem, or are there more ways to install it?
Go to recent apps, long press on the cross -> Defaults -> Launcher, choose Google Now Launcher.

Before this you need to enable autorun for google app and google launcher then reboot. After you can follow the snowk suggestion i have tested in this moment for security
If it doesnt work you might to try search something called "gel" in google services to unlock. Try one of the apps like Myandroidtools
So I actually just have no idea what I'm doing, I just needed to install it from Play store and instead of pressing "open" like I usually do, press the home button so it asks me what launcher to use for the action. Sorry I had not tried this before, but just for the record for anyone else who happens to have the same challenge.
I had similar problem..I downloaded Nova launcher and used it for a while..then later Google now launcher appeared on the default app{ "launcher"} settings..the best I swapped to GNL..:good:

Does anyone know how to clear the defaults for TWlauncher/Touchwiz Launcher? I have Launcher Pro installed but I accidentally selected TWlauncher as my default. I went to SETTINGS/APPLICATIONS/MANAGE APPLICATIONS but Touchwiz Launcher/TWlauncher isn't listed to remove the default.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Delete launcher Pro and download again, the option to make Launcher Pro your default launcher should pop up again.
You can also download a DIFFERENT launcher to force the window to show again if you don't want to remove Launcher Pro.
Much easier way
From home, menu -> settings -> applications -> manage applications
Now you may need to hit menu -> filter and select All if you are using the stock launcher (i.e. touchwiz).
Find the current launcher, Look for the section "Launch by default" and select "Clear defaults". The next time you hit home it will prompt you to select a default again.
Edit: if touchwiz is the default now, you are looking forTwLauncher

Yeah! This works. I don't know why I didn't think of it myself. Thanks a lot.

It doesn't list touchwiz or TwLauncher in manage applications. I downloaded another launcher and I was able to select which launcher again. Thanks for replying.

did you set the filter to "All"?
you have to do what he said and hit menu>filter>all
they will all show up including twlauncher
That actually works for anytime you are asked to select an application to open something, i.e. a browser or for viewing youtube.
Pretty much what happens is, I download it at the play store, and open the launcher. It works fine, but when I push the home button, it goes back to the stock launcher. Every time, I try to set a launcher as the default one, my screen just kind of jumps from the bottom up, and nothing happens. For the Google Now launcher, It gives me the prompt to either cancel, or go into settings. After selecting settings, it does the weird jump again. Kind of getting annoyed, since the stock Emui launcher doesn't have an app drawer. I tired it rooted, and unrooted. I do not have busybox installed, so I'm stumped. Is there hidden settings somewhere to change the default home launcher? I can't find it unlike the previous version. Maybe someone who has had the same problem as me, can shed some light into this problem. Thank you.
goto settings>apps
then click on 'advanced'.
there you can find default app settings,click on it and select launcher and set your desired launcher as default.
and dont forget to add that launcher in protected apps

Hi, many thanks for the link, however, the issue is in the options, it does not have any option to choose or change launcher at all.
I have the Chinese import, could this be the reason why? I managed to get Google Play Store & Google services working but no option at all to change or choose launcher. I heard that Huawei did this on purpose via software, preventing people from using third party launchers.
Any other solution? Thanks.

You are right.
You can uninstall 'huawei launcher' through ADB. I have not tried it because I do not know if there will be any side effects.
have you set a pincode to unlock?
honor requires you to set one in order to use other launchers
Huawei built this in to the latest update on the Chinese version of this phone. And it took a lot of criticism so it dropped the 'feature' in updates for other parts of the world which followed the China version. I can't remember where now, but I read somewhere that the 'feature' will also be scrapped in the next software update.
Huawei described it as a security feature!

Hmmm... Apex Launcher or Nova Launcher - how he's harms phone...? For many years I used Apex Launcher in my other phone and he did not hurt my phone.

Actually recently with emui 9 amd new patches they are blocking use of 3rd party launchers. You can use it via settings- apps- default app and launcher as per wish.
I've managed to find a solution to this. You'll need to first download and install nova launcher. Then use adb commands to uninstall/disable the stock Huawei launcher. Once done, nova launcher will automatically be selected as the default launcher of your phone. Follow this tutorial it worked for me.

After 'ultra power saving mode' (Settings>Battery>Ultra power saving mode) works for you?
I install EMUI 8.2.0.141(C00). There is something other, but still I can't change launcher.
Well, I feel the headline is as straight forward as can be, but ill be more specific. I purchased my Lenovo Legion Duel 2. So far I like the phone, but I cant seem to get Nova launcher to stay the default launcher. I manually downloaded the play store on the phone, not sure if I did it properly, I downloaded Nova, made it tho default home but, it doesnt stay. If I swipe up it goes back to zui, if I dont touch my phone for awhile when I go back into it, it reverts back to zui. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do?

0) try to install app via adb.
1) try to disable battery optimization for nova launcher (it help me with live wallpapers for example).
2) try to enable auto start for launcher in security app -> auto startup manager (add or enable auto start).
3) try to add all the permission to launcher
reboot at every try

Thank you. Ill give that a try.
i use Poco Launcher

Thing to note.
Cannot work with gestures ...as will crash

I installed Nova launcher and it is working fine but some time launcher is hanging. I want to get rid of this ZUI, it makes phone really hot and consume a lot of battery. I am using chinese rom and lenovo legion 2 pro 16gb 512gb
Can any one tell without rooting how to get rid of ZUI Home
Hi there － I have recently purchased the MiPad5pro and have a few questions about the tablet and MiUi in general as this is my first Xiaomi device. I'm running the latest available version for MiUi for the pad5pro in China.
1. Has anyone been able to get Novalauncher to work? I get an error saying only those launchers verified by Xiaomi are allowed. Is that a miui issue or a miui for pad issue? Any other launchers recommended? I use Oneplus for my phone and have it set up with novalauncher that allows me to have the google shelf when swiping to the left from the home screen. I'd love to have that feature on my mipad.
2. is there a way to natively translate text on the screen? For eg: ColorOs has a built in screen translater that allows you to translate any part of the screen or the entire screen. Anything similar available for miui natively？or any apps that you'd recommend that aren't loaded with ads?
3. without root, is there a way to remove miAI and make Google assistant the default assistant app and get it to work in all the apps?for example, the miui clock app has a mic option for assistant but it triggers miai even though I have set Google assistant as my default ai app. Also, every time the tab is restarted, it defaults to miai as the default ai app instead of the previously set Google assistant.
Happy to answer any questions anyone might have if they are looking at buying this tablet.
Yes I am on the same CN stock ROM (do we have any other choice atm?). I am hating MIUI every minute of the day...
1. You can choose Nova as your default launcher. But you have to do so from Nova, not MIUI settings.
2. Sorry I don't know... I gather you're talking about an app that reads a text off a picture? You tried the stock Gallary app (the purple one)? If you didn't find the function in the app, then maybe it's not possible without a 3rd party app?
3. My pad is rooted, but I've tried what you asked... It looks like your choice of the detault assistant app (I tried google) stays after reboot. I set the detault through 'default app' on settings.
I hope we will be out of this misery soon. MIUI (Chinese version) is a torture.

Thanks. I don't hate the MiUi, it serves my purposes, just hoping to get a few of these issues fixed.
Was able to get Nova sorted like you mentioned, but Nova didn't work too well as it doesn't fully move to landscape mode.
#2 is the one I need most, so hopefully if someone else has an app they can recommend. It is not just about a picture, but about text in any app. Hoping for a 3rd party app that can be used that doesn't have a bunch of ads every time you use it.
I removed MiAi using this method along with some other Chinese language apps
It seems safe and you can re install or re enable the apps of you have any problems.

I have the solution to 3.
Without root, it's just a matter of getting the permissions correct.
Xiaomi has a privacy setting in the Google permissions that grants the permissions without confirming with google. That's why you can't get the default assistant to stick.
This will fix it. Give google always allow on device info inside the Google app, not assistant app.
Enjoy.
