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.
Phone:
Device: OnePlus 7T Pro
Android: Android 11
Build nr: Oxygen OS 11.0.0.2.HD01BA

Are you using the stock launcher? This happened with the MS launcher for a while.

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

Hello. I have a problem with the Google launcher. I installed several launcher. And when I go into settings -> applications -> applications by default. All launches installed are present except for Google. I can not select the Google launcher. A solution please
same problem here
Even if I choose any other launcher in "home app" it just reverts back to system launcher...
very frustrating

i think u must go in settings/apps/advanced and select the default launcher app.
thanks for this help, this answer is helpful
Don't have this phone but other launchers work no problems right? Just have to go thru settings?
What about flyme ui gestures or mback? Do they work with other launchers? I know Nova and others have their own gestures but I wish to use flyme's more robust intuitive gestures with the costum homescreen.
The only way withthis Flyme OS is to use Nova Launcher that will simulate another launcher or version of the UI

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.

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

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.
I'm wondering if anyone found a launcher that works on both screens. I have tried nova, Microsoft launcher and one called split screen launcher. Anybody have better luck than the stock one?
hi
any luck>
Nothing. There is another tread under q and a that says that the Microsoft duo and v60 use a different api for the extra screen. Cross support is probably ruled out. Still waiting.......
I've actually been developing a dual screen launcher for a while now, it's still in early development but there's an internal testing program available and I could always use help with testing and ideas.
It's called Duality Launcher, if you're interested, come visit my sub on reddit for more info: http://reddit.com/r/GrayMatterApps
