You have to change the default launcher app
How do you change the default app?
@Sebring5
(sorry for my bad english)
1. go to preferences
2. apps
3. standard-apps
4. launcher
Kind regards

Install it from the Store or with the APK on your phone, then go in Settings > Applications > Default applications > Launcher.
- If you install the app from the play store
- head to settings and search for default apps
- select the home so you wish to use
Huawei disable the request to such home screens on hitting home like in stock Android. So if the new launcher crashed it will revert to the stock one and you must repeat this process

It appears an update to the Android Market is now being pushed out to handsets, and we've got the .apk file for you right now. Warning: this updated Market does not seem to work very well on Honeycomb tablets, there appears to be a number of glitches.
Note: If the Market starts force closing, just open Settings > Applications > Manage > Market, and clear data.
What's changed? So far, we've found:
New setting: Auto-update apps (presumably, sets all apps to auto-update mode, woohoo!)
New setting: Update over Wi-Fi only
New setting: Auto-add shortcuts (automatically adds homescreen shortcuts for new apps, a la Honeycomb)
Smaller font
New app drawer icon
Microphone (voice command) button in search menu
Star rating chart on app pages
Minor UI tweaks

How to hack wifi best method please help me
It's pretty easy but a guide never hurts!
The first way is to download apks straight from the internet. Credit to yaggermr for finding this first. Thread Here
1. Find your apk. Heres some to get you started
Go Launcher
Amazon appstore! You need to enter your email and they will email you a link.
2. In your notification area, when the download is completed click on it to open it. A popup will appear click the second option package installer. Now click on install. and you are done!
3. To find your apps click the nook button then click search and start typing in the app you want.
The second way is to use ES file explorer I was able to install apk's I had on my SD card through ES.
GO Launcher

I have a rooted NT and GO Launcher v2.65 running with little to no problem except that everytime I reboot any widgets I have added report back:
"Problem loading widget"
None of the apps are loaded on the SD-Card. I've tried a clean install with a reroot with nothing done except Go Launcher and a gapp or two to test the widgets but still get the error. Am I the only one?
On a side note after I rooted I didn't have to search for the Go app link anymore it just accepts the default setting.
Thanks in advance.

I did a recording of the problem: http://sendvid.com/sbrvwfye
When i swipe up "the use a different app" section does not include "Lightning Browser" which is the app i want to assign to that gesture. How do i add an app that is not on "the use a different app" list?

Ok i have understood you :good:
First Method if you are on marshmallow, lollipop or kitkat follow this:
1- Open setting
2- Select Apps
3- Tap on the 3 dots icon in the upper-right corner
4- Select Default Apps
5- Select Browser app
6- Choose the browser app installed on your phone you want to make it the default browser ... Done
I don't know if this way available for lollipop and kitkat or not but i think it working on lollipop and kitkat too.
Another very simple method
1- Install Default App Manger from PlayStore or from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2140285&d=1374687303
2- After installing it, open it you will find some chooses as Camera, Browser ,etc...
3- Choose Browser
4- If you have a browser choosed as default browser then you have to press "Clear defaults" and it will open this default browser setting and you have to press on "Clear Default" in (Launch by default) section.
4- Return back to Default App Manger and Press "Set default".
5- Choose your prefered browser from the menu that will pop up to make it as a default browser ... Done
If anything you didn't understand me in it just tell me.
I hope that i had helped you

Thank you for your reply, but lightning browser has already been set to default browser by the same app you recommended. So whenever i open a link it opens with Lightning browser, this is fine. What seems to be the problem is that i can not assign this app to the gesture shown because it is not listed. It appears i must somehow list it first before it can be assigned to that gesture.

Nope bro.
First you have to install an app named "Now gesture tweak" you can get the free version of it from PlayStore or download the pro version of it from this link: http://www42.zippyshare.com/v/52829975/file.html
2- Install and open it,, when it open just press on "Select Action"
3- Then select "Open Custom App" and choose lightning browser from the menu.
4- Once you’ve picked your browser,, swipe up from the bottom and you’ll be prompted to select which app you want to use.
5- Select "Now gesture tweak" From the menu and make it used as default.
Done ... Try after that to swipe up and you have to find that lightning browser will open.
Try and tell me...

You solved it. It was something very small but important for user experience. You are the man! :highfive:
Since updating the firmware the option to be able to bring up and lock apps no longer exists.
I initially tried changing convenience tools > navigation buttons but I believe it's because nova launcher and colorOS.
When I try to go to Nova settings and select default launcher, it just says default home app - No apps.
I've tried restarting nova launcher and backup & import settings > reset to default.
Any help would be appreciated.
