Iv'e used nova launcher for a while and I love it.
there is only one feature I feel missing, the google app in the left page (like in google now launcher).
I was able to have the same thing using the home button to open google now in gestures and inputs.
Is there any way to maybe change swipe right to google now like you can do with swipe up?
Thanks in advance,
Orma
phone I use : Nexus 5x with android 7.1.1 (rooted)
I have nova prime.
someone knows what to do?
It is difficult to understand.
But, Get New nova, clear data, enjoy!
Hi all!
I want to buy a Chinese Mate 10 non-pro (the one with 6gb ram/128gb internal). I found this one, on Wonda mobile (https://www.wondamobile.com/huawei-...-unlocked.html#product_tabs_additional_tabbed), where rebranding is included in the price, and they claim that they uninstall all the Chinese apps and bloatware, and put Google Play apps on it (they put L29-C636*ROM on it, so the model is now identified as L29) My question is about search engine and search predictions, because I've read on a few places here on xda, that the C636 International rom has only Hiboard installed, and no Google, so that when I scroll to the far left of home screens, I get Hiboard, and chinese text predictions/suggestions when searching for stuff.
Can anybody confirm on this? Has anybody bought this specific model of non-pro Mate 10 and dealt with this problem? And if so, is there any way to deal with this problem that DOES NOT include rebranding?
Thanks in advance!
I can't confirm this for AL00, but I rebranded my Pro from C432 to C636 and Huawei Home has Hiboard at the left-most screen.
Google is installed too, but it only shows Hiboard there.

I've got a stock ALP-L29 and can confirm that swipe left on stock launcher only gives option for HiBoard. I use the rootless Pixel Launcher which brings up Google Now with swipe left.
Now on alp l29 131c636 swipe left hiboard
but swipe up from bottom Google.

Thanks for that suggestion. I used Lawnchair but this is much better
Thank you all for help. So far I know I can disable Hiboard, and, if I can use Google by swiping up as suggested by @wooley4766, that might be just fine for me.
Although I was planning to use swipe up action to bring up app drawer, but I guess I'll make do. This hardly is a deal breaker.
Does having Hiboard mean having Chinese suggestion when googleing or searching generally?

Hi!
I'm really hoping someone is going to see this, because I know it is an old thread and people have moved on.
So I finally got my hands on a non-pro Mate 10, the CN00 version rebranded fo ALP L29. The phone is mostly debloated and so far I am really happy with it.
I am bound to either use or disable the HiBoard on the far left home screen, but I want to give it a chance. So far I can only see the weather (sometimes), number of steps and my phone's uptime. How can I adjust it to receive some interesting news, or any content whatsoever? I don't see such options anywhere.
Thanks

How did you do that? I have ALP-L29 8.0.0.143 (C636), pixel launcher rootless installed and it doesn't seem to have a leftmost screen with the Google feed.

I have since switched to Nova since the rootless pixel launcher would only bring up the Google feed on and off. Sometimes I would have to change to the default launcher and change back before the Google feed showed up. Not sure what changed in that launcher with the recent updates but it was just getting annoying.
Strangely I cannot...
Did you ever figure this one out? I find it annoying as well.

No, I didn't.
You need to install a different launcher. I use the Blackberry launcher and it is gone. There are a bunch of them in the play store.
I'm using LawnchairLauncher from FDroid.
Is really nice and smart.
Hi ppl.
It is possible to block/freeze the stock launcher?
without side effects?
i would say yes:

I don't think you can disable the stock launcher or most of the Huawei System Apps. Freezing an app makes me think of Titanium Backup but you would need to be rooted to use that.
Unless you have the Chinese hardware model you can change default launcher like on any other phone. There isn't really a need to disable it or likely much benefit from doing that.

I think making changes to your phone OS using ADB commands is an increadibly bad idea unless you are a software engineer and actually understand exactly what you are doing. The Mate 20 Pro is increadibly fast as it is so what do you think you will gain by removing system apps?
It's your phone--if you feel like bricking it knock yourself out.
ok guys I have successfully removed emui launcher from my mate 20 Pro and using nova launcher now, but I am back on oreo style recents, any solution to that, cheers.

You don't need factory reset to bring back the emui launcher if you removed it with adb shell. you can always reinstall it via huawei's app store.
Removing the emui launcher causes gesture navigation to stop working, as well as the ultra power saving mode.

I think the question is how ? Unless he factory reset;
ok guys here what I did, initially I uninstalled huawei launcher (with adb commands) but it messed up a few things like phone went back to oreo style recents and a few more things went missing from the UI, I do not recommend uninstalling huawei launcher, but anyway I resetted the phone to get Huawei launcher back than did the following:
Go to apps find huawei home click and clear defaults,
Installed nova launcher,
give all permissions to nova, it also needs accessibility and admin rights as well as draw over other apps and allow notification,
from apps on your home screen or app drawer click on nova, for a very short time nova will take over,
very quickly go to apps again (this time nova will be your home launcher, for a short time though), long press nova icon a little menu will pop up "set" without wasting any time click set that will take you to a hidden list of default apps, click on huawei home tht will finally take you to set either huawei home or nova as your default launcher, click nova and voila...bye bye to huawei home, enjoy nova.
But please keep in my mind this procedure is for nova launcher I don't know about other launchers but I hope they act similar, cheers.
the problem still is...
when the huawei launcher is installed and you want to use nova AND you want to use gestures, the recents are completely ugly. everytime you swipe to home, you will see for a short moment the recents. that was a nogo for me because it just looked damn ugly.
so i uninstalled the huawei launcher, enabled the Huawei Gestures (which are not working on the bottom, only on the sides, if you uninstall the launcher), installed nova and installed N-Fluid gestures. Now its working like a charm, i dont care if the recents are looking oreo or pie style

IIRC it's called "drawer home" in english app store. my huawei ID region is in China so I'm using the chinese app store, and I'm able to find "华为桌面" in it.

Hi, its not in my huawei app store here in the UK.
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
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.
