Hi,
can anyone who already might have the phone check, if it is possible to install Nova Launcher? In this thread it seems like huawei removed the ability. Thx!
You can still install and use Nova, but there are some bugs with gesture navigation. No problem if you use traditional nav bar.
See demonstration:

i saw another video with smooth working nova launcher
but it also seems that huawei offers a seperated app drawer in emui9, so maybe there is no more need for nova...?

yeah thats' the case for a while now. but i don't like the old fashioned way they implemented it. you know with the separate button to launch the drawer. it would be much more consistent if they do it like google does with the swipe to open the drawer.

The main problem with nova+emui 9 gesture is an animation glitch when going to homescreen. Installing fluid gestures solved that problem 90% of the time, still around 10% chance the glitch happens on my phone, but it doesn't bother me too much.
Another problem is blue tint in task switch screen and its crappy UI design (you can't touch the left or right card and go to that app directly, and it's difficult to stop at the right card), but i guess that's related to nova, not with gestures. It's annoying but still I can live with.
If you use the international rom. that's all you need to worry about.
If you use the Chinese rom version, 3rd party launcher is banned. If you bypass that ban by disabling emui launcher with adb, gestures will become unusable. Fluid gestures won't fix that problem. So you have to pick between using gestures or using 3rd party launcher, not both.
Ok , ive Solved with One plus gestures (that ive paid) and Hide nav bar.
I ve used and adb command and now It works perfectly with Nova Launcher.
Im using a European version of mate 20 x.
No notification sleeping or other problems tipicals of the Cina version.
Ive bought It on Amazon Spain

If you are using Nova launcher, especially the beta, mine updated about an hour ago and now it keeps crashing and I can't get a debug, it says cancel or uninstall then sends you back to the default launcher.

I am also using nova launcher beta and updated today. No problems here at all.
I am also using nova beta and also did the update. No problems with this update.

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

I just disabled the Launcher. It's working fine now after updating to 9.0.0.183
The only thing that's annoying me now is the front facing camera's stubborn beauty mode that cannot be disabled.
I have loaded the update 182 (yes 182 not 183) from funky Huawei about two weeks ago and that has fixed the one minor issue I've had with Nova Launcher.
It has been working perfectly fine since then.
My only issue now is that the Nova Launcher support has sent me an angry reply to my request because I own a Mate 20 Pro.
Those guys are pretty angry because of the accusations of Huawei intentionally sabotaging them.

I use nova launcher.
you dont understand... can you install newest pixel or lawnchair launcher and set it as default, and give all permissions (and since you disabled the launcher you have to use the navkeys right? ) then reboot.... and look if the new pie gesture ui kicks in.... the recent overview and pill navbar.
get the. apk from xda or apk mirror
because the launcher is responsible for the navigation gestures in android P.
realy hate the emui gestures and wish to use stock android P gestures
this will take max 15min. of your time but help me forever.
thanks in advance

Really? So when swiping up to go to home screen it doesn't show the recent apps for a split second and then go home? It's definitely a bug others have experienced when using gesture nav on emui.

No it works like stock launcher
The gesture navigation works ALMOST perfectly with nova launcher. This is the best I could ask for. But just let me point out some scenarios that it stutters a little bit.
1. The animation when close an app is gone. You can't see the app fading into its position on the home page.
2. The gestures are a bit more sensitive on nova than stock EMUI. For example, swipe up and hold for recent apps. On EMUI launcher, it is about 0.5 seconds. However on nova, it is more like 0.3. Thus I often hold for too long and end up on recent apps instead of home page.
3. Under some special circumstances, the background picture for recent apps screen is the previous app you used. It looks extremely weird. I didn't manage to get a SS of it. Will upload once it happens again.
Having said all of that. I feel this 183 update improved the gestures navigation by a huge leap! Just need time to get use to it.

I had to go home again to get it to start working. I had to manually perform the gesture to go to home (I have gesture UI rather than the traditional 3 button interface).
Been told that MIUI Launcher should have an App Drawer option. Can't see where to enable it? Anyone?
I'm surprised how good MIUI Launcher is. I really don't want to have to go back to Nova because of this daft missing feature.

My usual answer to this would be no, because I'm fairly pragmatic about these things.... but I've decided to take a punt because Google Discover seems really sticky on my phone and I don't know why. Nova Launcher with Google Companion is fine. Very smooth, buttery. System Launcher, it's sticky and not very nice to use. Let's chance it.
And no... your update doesn't seem to resolve it. The Google app works fine, Nova Launcher + Companion is fine... MIUI Launcher, it is very sticky
Wow..... I take it alll back. Nothing to do with MIUI Launcher. I went into the Help section of the Google Feed (within MIUI) and clicked open in Play Store. I'm part of the BETA testers and an update was put out yesterday. I updated..... buttery smooth now. Perhaps a bad release by Google?
All of a sudden, I'm very content.... Thanks though, the updated Launcher is a little better, but not sure it's exactly notably better.

I have the same Problem with Google Discover under MIUI 11.0.3.0 it's very laggy, I think it has to be optimized yet by xiaomi or by google itself to work properly.

Hi folks,
Bored of stock Xperia launcher?
Here's the best alternative, Lawnchair.
Google play version is outdated but you'll find latest update here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/delet...627-ci-q-merge-android-apk-download/download/
You will need Lawnfeed to enable Google left panel: https://lawnchair.app/lawnfeed/?ref=lawnchair
Enjoy
I like the way that Lawnchair Launcher looks overall, but I do not like that I can not hide the dock. I prefer having a full screen look where possible.
I like it but I don't like the clock, I wish you could get rid of that and use your own..

I went into the Dock settings and I saw nothing that said "Hide Dock".
I have Nova Launcher now and I can Peek a Boo the dock with a swipe gesture so that it is not always present and disappears when not needed.
That is what I am looking for here. Am I missing something here?
Hey great, thanks for pointing that out...have a look at what I've done...if Lawnchair 2 did a clock like that I would be happy...or if you could mod the clock, colour it, resize it, change the padding around it, and the icons for the weather....so I could make it look like that..
Either way, it looks a million times better than the Xperia launcher so thanks for the advice...
Happy to be able to create folders in the app drawer.
Anybody knows how to get rid of the white line below the dock?

Via adb, you could try:
wm overscan 0,0,0,-30
And to revert:
wm overscan 0,0,0,0
Bear in mind that this simply moves the nav bar below the bezel, some full screen apps react differently to this. Good luck.
I also like the Lawnchair Launcher a lot, but it cannot work with gestures navigation without quickswitch magisk moudle， which is pity like all other launchers
