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.

Yes you can. I can see this phone winning my heart.

The newest release version of MIUI launcher has the app drawer built in. It was released on April 18. Again, this is the release version, not a beta. I have installed it on my 9S (9 Pro) and it works perfect. Download the APK here.

You don't even need to do that if you look at my second post. You can enable it on the stock one using that trick.
I have to say, MIUI Launcher has come a long way since the Redmi Note LTE.....

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.
Edit: still lagging for me with recent google beta app, persists with the new laucher, too.

yeah, i have fiddled with ROMS and Kernels - no matter how high you overclock your phone, the GoLauncher just didn't seem optimized for use on the GNote

Is it just me, or is Go Launcher laggy? The touchwiz launcher feels absolutely smooth compared to it.
It's up to Beta 4 now.
I'm just using the release version of Go Launcher and I feel it is the smoothest of the rest (TW, LPro, ADW).

Well i would assume there would be some final optimizations before they release it to the market. to me at least, beta means unfinished/unpolished product
Does installing the new beta erase all your settings and everything? Or does it just update itself?
just updates your go launcher all your stuff should still be exactly were you put it. Also beta 6 is out and is even smoother
I always used adw-ex on all my phones, it was just too leggy on the Note. I have it set to 9x9 icons with widgets on every page (5). I installed this beta and it was considerably less laggy than ADW. I'm a happy camper lol!
Great find - beta 6 Rocks!
My only ***** with Go is not maintaining sorted folders on the Widget side.
Just installed 6 as well. Don't notice any immediate change. No problems either though. I'll see how it goes over the next few days.
edit: it looks like they took down the 2.85 betas from their site... am I missing it? If not I wonder why...
Well as expected with beta releases there have been a few issues I've experienced that caused me to wait for the market release.
I.e. beta 2 messing with the dock background resulted in a "error must reinstall" type message which reset all the screens. Restore would not recover my settings.
Also in beta 4 somehow when setting the home screen it would actually dissapear.
I know the first issue was fixed but it gets old manually setting up my screens so ill wait for final release of this beta.

The official 2.85 is out in the Play Store now. I updated my beta to it and it runs better than ever, very smooth!
just installed latest from market.
seems faster BUT how come I have to press the home button twice for it to respond now? I couldn't find any settings...
UPDATE: some strange conflict with Magic Locker. Had to uninstall magic locker and now home key working ok.

yea, i was wondering the same. market shows latest update.
maybe they are making a new redesigned version? lol galaxy note specific ? not
*** EDIT ***** if you guys are running the V6 script, try the NitroLAG Nullifier - it definitely helped reduce A LOT of lag on the homescreen. and make sure in GoLauncher preferences "Advanced -----> System Persistent" is UNCHECKED.

I will suggest smart launcher 5 it helps to keep icons near your thumb and fingers so that u need not to jump to top of the big screen again and again
im using nova launcher pro version. Superb and love it!
Nova launcher pro... No question ask
The New Hyperion Launcher Pro it is. it´s from the substratum devs, has all i need looks great and has awsome customization!
and with the hyperion dock addon you get google feed on the left side swipe. it has a beta tree and updates come constantly.
I like this Launcher more then Nova Pro and i used nova launcher quite long maybe 4 years. try it out guys, y´all have nothing to loose it has a free version too!

How to set a permanent launcher so that it does not change on the vivo launcher ?
I was previously using Yandex launcher and will say it is best but recently switched to smart launcher bcz for larger screens it makes easy to show icons/options towards lower portion so easy to click using thumb.

You need to get a vivo account which requires a chinese phone number you can get at onlinesim.ru/en for a few cents (paypal possible). After adding the vivo account in the account menu in settings you can activate "allow the launcher to be replaced" in more settings / security and then change it at security / device manager and reboot.
But I don't know if this is necessary in the global version... Does anyone know?
P.S.: Here is a video describing how to change launcher: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOCLSUugXf0
No, this procedure is not required for the global version.
You can replace the stock launcher without any problem.

Hey guys, I finally made the move upgrading to oreo but I really hate these new icons with that white stuff around it and so on. Is there a way to get back the original nougat theme on oreo? So far oreo is a bit smoother.. Let's see how it is with battery life but I guess it was not worth to upgrade it. Thanks in advance. Best whishes.
Long press on the home screen. this should open a list where you can choose home settings. Hope this helps a little
It was worth to upgrade to it. Trust me.
Find an icon pack you like the look of on the Play Store, use a launcher that works with them like Nova Launcher, and you're good to go.

Yeah I don't like nova that much. Would rather go with stock launcher.. Maybe I can found an original v20 Nougat theme on the web.. But yes, oreo is getting better and better. Actually I installed it bc I ordered my Sony xm3 few days ago and I wmama use LDAC. What other benefits do I have with oreo?

Hi,

Fluid NG is the answer.

works great with any launcher (I tested with Nova and Action Launcher 5), and its free.
Pro version is not expensive if you need to tweak the setting.

Yeah there are load of 3rd party apps out there but i would preffer to not rely on those bit instead huawei to put their ****s together and not release official rom with the same exactly bugs they had on beta. This specific bug i reported it as a beta tester.

Thank god its android. We can just switch to other solution, or stay with the default one. Having options is good.
Navigation gestures app from xda is pretty nice.

Works after adb commands pretty well. But yeah Huawei should just fix their ****. Sometimes I don't know why they beta test their firmware. It seems that they don't fix any things from the beta firmware.
I have disabled the stock launcher since I installed Nova Launcher for my Huawei Mate 20 Pro. After updating to 9.0.0.183, the animations seem to be working fine already.

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.
