[SOLVED] Reinstall EMUI launcher to system - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Themes, Apps, and Mods

In order to get the oreo mulitasking, i have uninstalled the EMUI launcher by ADB command :
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.launcher
Is there any way to reinstall the launcher to system?
Ways to solve:
1. Change the Huawei app gallery to China and search "華為桌面”, it will be installed as system app.
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",

The first way is to perform a full reset of the phone. Not ideal.
I saw mention in another thread a while back that it can be downloaded from the Chinese version of the Huawei app store if you change your location and search for it in Chinese.
If you're rooted you could use ADB to push the APK.
I think they're your only options. It would have been better to disable it rather than uninstall as you could enable it again.

can someone who has uninstalled the launcher do a quick check for me?
please install the newest pixe launcher or 1 of the newest pie launchers and set the navbar to the keys (no gestures), give the new launcher all permissens that it wants and reboot.
i would like to know if the new nav gestures and recents overview will kick in and work

If you have kept a copy (apk) before uninstalling it, you could just install it back.
Here is how you can extract it:
Code:
adb shell pm path com.huawei.android.launcher -- show the path to the APK
adb shell cp /path/to/apk/from/above /storage/emulated/0/Download/base.apk -- copy it to Download folder on device
adb pull /storage/emulated/0/Download/base.apk -- copy it to PC

---

Is it possible to copy base.apk from any custom ROM and install it?

Not sure what you mean. You could install it the same way as any other APKs.

Then I have no clue, works on chinese rom. But that's also meaningless on chinese rom since app store has it..

I did extract the APK before I uninstalled it, but I can install the APK afterwards..

I can only conclude that launcher app is installed differently on international rom vs chinese rom, unfortunatrly I dont have a chance to get my hands on an international rom to see how that's like.

---

Guys, you can always try to change the country to china on Hisuite and search for the launcher is Chinese - it is mentioned in another post and see if you can get it installed.

Found this on another thread - in an adb shell type the following:
cmd package install-existing <package-name>
Just tried it with powergenie and it works. Give it a go if you still need to.
