I wanna know if there's an app that can allow me to change the displayed icon for apps in the app drawer, the same way ADW launcher EX, Launcher Pro and Go launcher EX allow you to change the icon of an app on your home screen, by just long pressing it to change it's icon.
I'm using ADW launcher EX, and i'm aware you can download themes and change the icons, but most of the time, they don't have half the icons for my apps and i have icon image files ready which i'd like to change the apps too.
I'm aware of this method, but i don't want to be playing with the apps themselves, just wondering if there's a simple app for changing the icons in the app drawer?
So I'm using the Ubuntu Lockscreeen right now (it's awesome haha), but it shows Nova Launcher in my recent apps, and I accidently swipe it away all the time. Is it possible to hide an app (in this case, Nova Launcher) from the recent apps drawer?
hmmm...
Well you can download hide it pro, but that would hide the whole access to the app (since nova being a launcher I don't know how is it going to act) still can give it a try
What's your favorite launcher? Nova seems popular, and I use it, but my favorite one is total launcher currently full version unlocker is on sale for about a day.

It's not super user friendly because it's so customizable. Just an example with my screenshots you tap "net" it opens my web browser Firefox, but when I click on the flashlight now when I tap "net" chrome opens.
I've started using FastKey launcher and I'm loving it. Fastest launcher available right now.
I started using evie launcher. Replaced nova. Not as customizable, but very smooth. Low resources.
I like nova because gesture swipe screen up/down to open apps and notification. No need to tap app icon or swipe status bar, you can do it everywhere on the screen.
Is there any other lighter launcher than nova that have similar gesture?

Try FastKey, it's not pretty but it's brainless and crazy intuitive.
I tried fastkey, then i tried KISS launcher, KISS is better
I also use KISS launcher for a long time and satisfied with it

Yes, fastkey is the best launcher for people who have 100+ apps, I have 684 apps installed. But the dev of fastkey isn't active now.
I like Nova with swipe gesture.
- Swipe right to open Google (using google companion addon)
- Swipe down gesture everywhere at home screen to expand notification
- Open apps by swipping up
- and badges
- popup menu
KISS is the best for me

Same setup here and I've tried all the popular ones, but nothing comes close to Nova
Meh, I still think Nova is superior
Try lawnchair launcher it is customisable pixel launcher with blur option and supports icon pack ls and has swipe gestures
Been using Apex Launcher for ages. For me the key points are the ability to modify the grid on the home page and to be able to hide apps in the drawer. Would like to switch to a more modern launcher (and one that's actually maintained) but haven't found a suitable replacement yet. Tried Nova a couple of times but have always returned to Apex...
Nova all the way. I don't think I've ever used another launcher. And the weird part is I think most people prefer Nova for its gestures but I don't. For me, Nova's best selling point is convincing me that it isn't even there.

Nova is the best! I use it since my sony xperia S, bqck in 2012
Arc Premium Launcher
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I've used quite a few launchers before but now I have Meizu and I love their native interface so I stopped using another launcher
Keikai Launcher..
Search that in f-droid.org
Is there any way to add gesture on the default launcher, like swiping down to have notification and swiping up to open app browser?
No, need a third party launcher.
-Nova launcher
-Gesture Control
-Edge gesture
These 3 apps are the go to apps for customizing the UI
I use atm nova launcher cause of the missing feature.
It is also good to activate Fingerprint gesture to swipe down statusbar.
Or use power shade apk (apk mirror) and use the "trigger" (set color to transparent)
Last one is my fav!
Hi,
I just tried to install Power Shade (after reading your comment), but "Play Protect" says me it's insecured. Is it normal ?
thx
I ignored it. Last weeks it was also on play store to download. Dont know what happend. Maybe google dont like the app?!
Has anyone figured out how to add the Google weather widget to the stock Huawei Home launcher?
When I try to add it it doesn't do anything. Works fine on other launcher like Nova or Evie.
I found a workaround, there is an app called Frog Weather in the app store that opens up Google weather.
Same function as the shortcut which Huawei home can't create for some reason!!
I always use the standard huawei weather widget.. Works great. What's the difference with Google widget?
Not a massive difference. I just like the Google weather app better than accuweather, that's all.
I am using "Another widget" you can download the app from the play store. It looks the same as the pixel 3 at a glance widget but has more functionality.

Long press on home screen and goto widget & select weather icon then you will get weather widget in home launcher.

Thanks for that but that doesn't seem to work for me on any Huawei phones. Somehow the launcher is preventing the widget from being created. But the Frog Weather app is a good workaround.
