Select SettingsApps and then select apps at the top and then default which will allow you to select Nova.

no appear option for select Nova
no possible ??
It should show like this. If it doesn't, I suggest a factory reset.
Another way to do this is to open nova launcher from Huawei home launcher. Then open nova settings, scroll to the bottom, and there is an option called "select default launcher"
here no appear
chineses version no works

No Works
Chinese variants of Huawei phones are not allowed to used any other launcher. Huawei's reason is because it protects 3rd party vendors from installing malicious launchers that steal your data. You cannot use your own launcher unless you unlock bootloader and install custom ROM. This decision makes no sense in my opinion and also the reason I will never buy a Chinese phone, especially Huawei, again (I am working in China currently). I paid over $1200 to not being able to customize it, which is ridiculous.
I am going to stick with Samsung for my next phone.

Dear all,
I love the way LG stock rom devides apps in to default ones and Downloads. Moreover, it allows creating new categories to better organize apps. However, no custom rom (void, prime, lol,...) has this useful ability.
Do u know how to get this? Which app can help with the same need?
The LG Home app recognizes 2 categories by default, but additional categories may be added. And ones from the first category can be moved to the second and so on. The only thing special about the "APPLICATIONS" category in the stock launcher includes all apps from the /system/app/ directory.
With Zeam, GO, ADW, Panda, Better Home and LauncherPro (I don't know of other launchers...) it is possible to create categories and organise apps the same way as in the stock home app. But system apps are by default not seperate from the user applications in the app drawer.
If you want the stock launcher app, just copy it from your stock ROM - "/system/app/LGHome.apk". Then you are free to place it on any ROM of your choice (Simply install the package or copy it to the /system/app/ directory).

How do you do this? I've been using LP Plus for 2 weeks and I've pretty much gone through all the possible settings from the preference page and I couldn't find anything about it there.

i would like to know this too so i can create category for my downloaded apps and preinstalled apps
Many launchers come with this function. Just try them. If you have an Android phone and you haven't yet tried all the launchers, it's weird. I bet 99% people have tried all launchers.

Yeah, I find no option to do this
I downloaded this and used once. I then switched back to TW for a bit to see the difference.
Now I can't change back to LP, its as if it doesn't exist on my phone but its in manage applications.
I download the free versions and that shows up when you press the home buttom and gives 2 options, however there is still no option for the pro version.
Suggestions?
Well it could be that the PLUS is built into the free version once you purchase plus, like a key.. Check this by resizing the widgets, and if they get resized, that means you have PLUS. Also try using the launcher pro widgets, they can only be used with PLUS.

No it doesn't work.
I'll try installing it once again!
Still doesn't work...
When you wrote LP PLUS, did you refer to the paid version. As far as I know the paid version is PLUS.
When you press the home button, you will be presented with two choices: either TW or LP. You can select LP and make it default. I think that there is a tick box for this.
There is a handy app in the Market called Home Switched that makes it easier to chop and change your installed windows managers.
LP PLUS will show up as normal LP. All that happens is that the originally installed LP programme is used, but the extended features are enabled once you enter your Email and SerialNumber into it. Did you receive the Email when you registered your copy?
Regards.
I probably recieved an email but didn't enter my email or serial number into anything..
I've somehow got it working :s
While where at it can someone tell me the cool things you can do in launcher pro in comparison to TW?
Go into preferences, you have the option to enable LP Plus there. You need to enter your PayPal code and email. If you bought it from the market I'm not sure how you enable it, I guess the Plus app from there only works as a key.
Edit: to late
Plus gives you LauncherPro Widgets and the option to resize Widgets. LP is also much more customizable compared to TW. You can download themes for the LP widgets in the market.

There are several icon and dock packs on xda. I just use a app called custom launcher icons, much more handy.

Pretty much what happens is, I download it at the play store, and open the launcher. It works fine, but when I push the home button, it goes back to the stock launcher. Every time, I try to set a launcher as the default one, my screen just kind of jumps from the bottom up, and nothing happens. For the Google Now launcher, It gives me the prompt to either cancel, or go into settings. After selecting settings, it does the weird jump again. Kind of getting annoyed, since the stock Emui launcher doesn't have an app drawer. I tired it rooted, and unrooted. I do not have busybox installed, so I'm stumped. Is there hidden settings somewhere to change the default home launcher? I can't find it unlike the previous version. Maybe someone who has had the same problem as me, can shed some light into this problem. Thank you.
goto settings>apps
then click on 'advanced'.
there you can find default app settings,click on it and select launcher and set your desired launcher as default.
and dont forget to add that launcher in protected apps

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.

Hi, many thanks for the link, however, the issue is in the options, it does not have any option to choose or change launcher at all.
I have the Chinese import, could this be the reason why? I managed to get Google Play Store & Google services working but no option at all to change or choose launcher. I heard that Huawei did this on purpose via software, preventing people from using third party launchers.
Any other solution? Thanks.

You are right.
You can uninstall 'huawei launcher' through ADB. I have not tried it because I do not know if there will be any side effects.
have you set a pincode to unlock?
honor requires you to set one in order to use other launchers
Huawei built this in to the latest update on the Chinese version of this phone. And it took a lot of criticism so it dropped the 'feature' in updates for other parts of the world which followed the China version. I can't remember where now, but I read somewhere that the 'feature' will also be scrapped in the next software update.
Huawei described it as a security feature!

Actually recently with emui 9 amd new patches they are blocking use of 3rd party launchers. You can use it via settings- apps- default app and launcher as per wish.
I've managed to find a solution to this. You'll need to first download and install nova launcher. Then use adb commands to uninstall/disable the stock Huawei launcher. Once done, nova launcher will automatically be selected as the default launcher of your phone. Follow this tutorial it worked for me.

After 'ultra power saving mode' (Settings>Battery>Ultra power saving mode) works for you?
I install EMUI 8.2.0.141(C00). There is something other, but still I can't change launcher.
