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.
Hi is it possible to use nova launcher on the mate 10 pro? Also is it possible to use google stock apps for dialler, messaging and photos? Basically replace Huawei apps with google apps?
Yes it is! I am doing just that on the Mate 10 (non-pro) so I am sure it will work the same for the pro version.
Settings -> Apps & notifications -> Default apps
I had read that there were some issues running Nova over the EMUI. I'm really tempted to get this phone but with the Nova Android experience I am afraid. Also hoping for a slight price drop
Not sure what you read...or where...but I have used Nova on this (and all my phones) for years and there are no issues for me???
Nova can crash when you're trying to add a emui widget to it. I had to replace the stock clock widget with a 3rd party widget because of that...

Not exactly. Luncher Nova crashes and system suggests uninstall it.
Some of you are saying it crashes and others are saying emui works fine. Now whicb is correct
I use Nova everyday with no issue and have been for three weeks on the Mate 10 pro. I am not sure about the EUMI widgets causing issues because I don't use them on Nova. My friend has an honor 8 and runs Nova everyday for a year with no major issues. Sometimes if nova updates you may have to reset it as your default launcher. I would say you shouldn't have any major issues with Nova but your mileage may vary.
Well, since the EUMI widgets are causing the crashes then I would lay the blame directly on EUMI. Nova works great on all phones so....YMMV. I don't use widgets at all. My Mate 10 runs great without issue using Nova Prime as the launcher.
Nova works fine on the Mate 10 Pro as long as you don't use the stock EMUI widgets. If concerned about widgets and not bothered about paying then get KWLP or/and KWGT - you can get some good screens and widgets for free if you look around

I heard that the Mate 10 pro crashes running other launchers. Causes the device to restart and resets to default launcher. I want to get the next Hauwei P series but worried about EMUI causing unwanted problems. I would like to use Nov launcher but won't put up.with the bugs that come with it. Not if I'm paying a premium price for a flagship handset

Read posts, its Huawei stock widgets causing problems and happens with all other launchers. Don't use Huawei widgets and you be fine. The problem is not Nova Launcher, it is Huawei widgets.

Another problem is that EMUI running on the Mate 10 pro has notification problems. You don't receive notifications most of the time. Also app crashes are frequent on this device. This is really disappointing as it is a beautiful device. I want to upgrade to the new P20 pro but worried about software problems

Same, been using the Mate 10 Pro for a month with nova launcher. Never had a single crash or reboot.
Never had issues with notifications, messages or calls. No complaints here.

I was speaking about using Nova Launcher on mate 10 (non-pro) without issue. I use the default dialer now with a dark theme, but for a while I was using the Asus ZenUI Dialer and Contacts app which worked just fine for me. I do not use widgets at all.

Thanks, I am using the same dialer, but, I want the google's... Don't know why I can not use it, maybe an Emui limitation.
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.

So a while back when I was still having emui 9 on my honor 8x, I followed this guide to disable the default launcher and get back the old oreo card style multitasking interface?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-pro/themes/how-to-enable-android-oreo-style-t3864229/amp/
I did not uninstall the huawei launcher, but merely disabled it, and I was able to use the oreo card style interface without any problem.
But after I updated to emui 10, I cant use the recent tasks screen with a third party launcher. When I click on the recent apps button, nothing happens. What do I do?

hey thanks for creating this thread, i did the update this morning and i have exactly the same issue now. at first i tried to reinstall the old launcher with the same guide as you followed and it worked but i had to use the new pi multitasking card which is super inconvenient for me.
Then i uninstalled it again with the same guide and the multitasking didn't worked as the first time so reinstall/uninstall didn't worked.
i've tried looking for some apps that allow you to change the animations and the multitasking behavior but i don't think this is possible with a simple app.
it me up if you're on something !
Hello,
Recently I have find out that my phone is deleting all of my shortcuts on my home screen after Android updates... So for example every Chrome shortcut link icon on home screen or contact shortcut gets deleted / is missing after Android Update of my phone. Does any of you guys have an idea what could be going on? Thank you in advance.

No, I was asking if you are using the default 1+ launcher, which apparently you are.
I was referring to alternative launchers (home screen) such as Lawnchair, MS, Nova, and others.
looking at the play store reviews ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.oneplus.launcherlooking ) it seems you aren't the only one with issues.
try a different launcher

Thank you for your answer. The link does not work for me... Which launcher do you recommend?
Nova has a huge fan base and is well liked
I haven't used Lawnchair for a while, but it used to be very pixel like
I've been using the MS launcher for several years because I like how it handles the app drawer and home buttons.
Try various ones. If you don't like it just go to settings/default apps, change the Home app back to OnePlus then delete the one you didn't like and try another.
Okay I have recieved an update because phone is not mine, but the owner of the phone already tried changing the launcher to google now launcher. It did not fix an issue. And just to add something to the post the shortcuts are missing after every reboot of the phone and not after updates it was my bad at the first post.
Sorry, of it is happening with the Google launcher and the OnePlus launcher after each reboot try asking in the OnePlus community
