Mastering Huawei Home Launcher​

Hauwei Home has more features than your average stock launcher. I'm going to show you some of the best ways to customize and get the most out of this launcher.

Wallpaper

There are a few additional settings you can mess with when picking your wallpaper. Press and hold your homescreen and choose wallpaper. Here you'll be able to adjust the blurriness of your wallpaper as well as choose weather or not it's scrollable.

Enable "Shake to Change Wallpaper" in your display settings.

App Drawer

Be default, EMUI doesn't have an app drawer. All of the apps are stored on pages of your homesceen. There is an easy way to fix this. You can fit up to five icons in your quick launch menu. We will use the center icon as our app drawer shortcut. Download App Drawer from the Play store and drag the shortcut to the center slot.

Themes

For themes, you have four stock options to choose from. Themes can also be imported from the Play store or other external sources. Check out Stockify to change your icons to the stock Android look.

View attachment 3888085View attachment 3888086​

Transitions

Change the animations when scrolling through your homescreen pages by pressing the homescreen and choosing "Transitions". There are eight different animations to choose from.

View attachment 3888092View attachment 3888093​

Home Layout

Change your app grid by adjusting your home layout. Press and hold on your homescreen and choose "more options". You can choose between 4x5 5x4 or 5x5.

That app drawer app is great, but I prefer a 3rd party launcher if possible
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] krispy321:
Material VUI theme by [MENTION=6139794]venom007[/MENTION] is awesome also the honor blue theme.

I just dont like emui launcher, but themes make it better to use:)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] venom007:
yeah, am aslo not a fan of emui launcher, but theming launcher is easy and makes it a better to use than the stock look with some ugly icons:D
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] krispy321:
Waiting for emui5, which has settings to enable app drawer in launcher
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] venom007:
emui5 has lot to offer based on the leaks
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nieves53:
Hope emui5 to have hide apps option.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ViCioPT:
I used to have a stock Android phone (Nexus 4) and now I have an Honor 7 with EMUI. I was thinking about "stockifying" my Honor but I gave a chance to the EMUI and the truth is that I really start to like.

The app drawer in particular makes me more consciente of the apps I have so I keep my phone clean and without "one-time used apps" that just get my memory full.

But I understand why people can dislike it. But that's the good thing in Android, if you don't like it, you can change it :) (at least most of the things....)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tmobilefan906:
I like nova
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] venom007:
yeah, nova is awesome. now it has pixle like feautures
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] krispy321:
Action launcher is also worth trying:D
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] venom007:
action launcher is nice until you get a paid version of it
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] krispy321:
Aldredy using action launcher pro, its way better than emui launcher!!
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] venom007:
everything is better than stock launcher:D
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] vsriram92:
Saw a video of EMUI 5 on Huawei P9. Looking good. Hoping to get that soon for our devices for a good feel.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
I wish EMUI 5 final version will better from what we saw on the beta
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ruscook:
I'm a long time Nova launcher user now on Smart Launcher 3. I have the pro version but it seems quite good so far.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
Nova is the best for customization, but since I'm a stock android fanatic, I have pixel launcher
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] techguyone:
If I use Nova on this phone, will Nova give me an app drawer, or do I need another app drawer app as well ?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] piskr:
You'll get app drawer with Nova.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tmobilefan906:
Another good launcher is sapphire.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zinko_pt:
Nova will give you the launcher and many customizations.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] krispy321:
Nova launcher is always the best
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] venom007:
exatly
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zinko_pt:
But for people who want the lighter and faster launcher there as other options. Just not as customizable as Nova.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shadownns:
excellent post.. thank
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zinko_pt:
Overall I'm quite happy with Huawei launcher, and coming from Miui, I just miss some customizations. But on the other hand, the biggest the layer over the OS, the slower and buggy prone are the updates.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] krispy321:
Huawei laucher is simple and straight forward.

But lacks customisation
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
Nova is the best hands down.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] zinko_pt:
The more customizations, the more work Huawei has to put on updating, thus making it slower. Samsung for example or Xiaomi.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
It's a launcher. Once you put some customization with it, you can put it in all EMUI devices.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tmobilefan906:
Like which features? I haven't used Nova for some time now.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] venom007:
many features including pixel like searchbar, dock baground, app drawer and its smoother than many other launchers
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tmobilefan906:
I should give it a shot. Have a link for a nongoogle play app?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] venom007:
get it from apkmirror.com
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
Check their thread here in XDA. There is an APK there also.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tmobilefan906:
What is this expand with root? I've Googled it, but can't find a clarification on its purpose. Thanks
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
There is a bug in Marshmallow that causes lag when pulling down SystemUI while in Nova. Expand with root fixes that.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tmobilefan906:
I've enabled it and I see no diff. Haha
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
Haha. But it's better to just leave it enabled.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tmobilefan906:
I have the beta prime version. It seems nothing much has changed since 2015.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
Actually there are many changes to look more Pixel-ated.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tmobilefan906:
Still not seeing it. Sorry.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
There are many guides to set up Nova. Search them out.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tmobilefan906:
I don't need a guide. Lol. I am very aware of how to operate Nova. I just don't see any difference in old Nova and current one.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
Oh I'm sorry. :D
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] venom007:
which version are you using?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tmobilefan906:
5.0 beta 8
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] adriansticoid:
Yeah that's the latest.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] venom007:
thats the latest, try changing nova settings like dock baground, icon packs, pull to appdrawer etc
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tmobilefan906:
Is that pull to app drawer the settings to search within the app and widget drawer?

[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
I just switched from N9 to C. When browsing in Chrome on the N9 it was OK for a few minutes, but it'd start to heat up and lag. My Pixel C is faster for opening URLs and it doesn't overheat and start to lag.

Thanks. What about wifi issues and general lag when battery is low?
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
Where I use it, I have a strong WiFi signal, so no issues. Based on what I've read, the poor WiFi connectivity manifests itself with marginal signals.

I've only had it a week, but I generally don't let my battery drop below 30%. So I can't help you there.

Hello,

I have Pixel C since nearly its release date and my experience with Pixel C full stock is amazing, no wifi issues, performance is amazing and also battery life. Now I´m using Final realease of Dirty Unicorns and the general experience is even better.

Adding a note about wifi, I have the most crap router in my home (excuse the words but it´s a total ****ty router provided by Movistart here in Spain), and even with that router my WiFi is strong.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AtoZ0to9:
I'm having some issues flashing any ROM. TWRP will not wipe data, or internal SD

For some reason, when I go to wipe data and factory reset, TWRP will say it was successful, but nothing ever gets wiped. It will only wipe system if I choose to. I've gotten a ROM to flash but when it boots up, all of the old apps and user data are still there and it makes everything crash. I've gotten into settings to do a reset, it reboots into recovery, runs the script, and still nothing wipes.

What I have tried:

Old TWRP, newest TWRP

CWM (seems to wipe but it won't get past the note 2 screen after flashing anything)

Wiping with CWM, flashing TWRP, then flashing a ROM (still loops after the note 2 screen)

Is there a terminal command I can use in TWRP to manually wipe things?

Thanks for any help I can get, I've flashed so many phones I can't remember but I've never had this issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] audit13:
Maybe flash back to a stock ROM, factory wipe using stock recovery, then flash TWRP?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AtoZ0to9:
Well when it bootloops t the Note 2 screen, I have to flash a ROM with Odin to get it working again. I've flashed a stock ROM with Odin, flashed TWRP with Odin, tried the wipes and it never wipes anything... I'm lost...

Isn't there a format function in TWRP that is seperate from the factory reset or advanced wipes? I was also trying to find a terminal command to type in the terminal in TWRP... I'm a little stumped...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AtoZ0to9:
I'm sorry, I read that too fast... That may actually work, wipe it in the stock recovery, and just don't let it boot into the system before flashing other stuff... I'm gonna try that out... Thanks man, I'll post back about it...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] audit13:
Since you are flashing the phone with Odin, is it a stock 4.1.1 ROM you're flashing? Which custom ROM are you flashing to the phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AtoZ0to9:
The stock ROM I used is I317-ODIN-UCUCNJ1-Stock without the booloader packaged in, I'm still on the old bootloader. It's 4.4.2

The ROMS I've tried to flash was

Cyanide (Error 7, says incompatible data, please wipe the phone)

Resurrection Remix (Error 7, says incompatible data, please wipe the phone)

Latest CM10 Nightly

I got CM10 and Resurrection Remix to flash a couple times, but the phone boots and all the old apps and data, including the AT&T ones are still there, and the system keeps crashing. Then I change the recovery to CWM because it seems to wipe, change back to TWRP, flash the ROM and gapps again, but it bootloops at the Note 2 screen.

Should I try the 4.1.1 ROM and CWM? Whenever I'm going from a stock TW to non-TW I like to format everything, data, cache, system, and internal SD, but of course TWRP won't wipe the data or the internal SD.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] audit13:
It's probably because the bootloader and modem are too old for the roms. Recent roms will need updated bootloaders.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AtoZ0to9:
Ok, I had some more time to mess around with this today and figured it out. I feel kind of dumb but oh well, I got it.

TWRP was already loaded on, so I went to messing with it again. The 'Swipe to factory reset' was not wiping the data, and there was the 'Format Data' button right there in front of me. I did the factory reset, format data, rebooted recovery, wiped dalvik, cache, and system, then flashed the ROM and everything booted up just fine.

Thanks for all of the help!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] botanique:
Hi there,

I'd like to know if someone knows the trick to make my Acer Liquid E700 boot up when it's initially powered down and I connect a Micro USB cable in it.

Currently it's showing the Charging mode and waits that I boot up the device manually using the button.

I read lots of forums speaking about different solutions

- the /system/bin/ipod file (or lpm or playlpm...) to rewrite usind sh script and calling /system/bin/reboot for example -> didn't work on this phone in my case

- using fastboot commands like fastboot oem unlock (which is working) and then fastboot oem off-mode-charge 0 -> which didn't work also in my case.

Please if somebody knows this device and can help, I'd be very grateful!!

Cheers

Bruno
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandem:
Hey,

i have a rooted opo and want to update with OTA.

But it just gets me into the TWRP Recovery and doesnt proceed.

I have Version:

cynogen os

12.1..1- Y0G8DAS2K1

5.1.1

what would be the easiest version?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] republicano:
You can't ota with modified system and you need stock recovery, quickest way would be to backup, flash the latest cyan build, otherwise unroot, flash stock recovery and try ota again.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grandem:
Where can i get the newest cyan? Searched a bit but i could only find a non flashable rom.

Full wipe is ok for me.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] KruseLudsMobile:
First, for those people responding - only please post replies having to do with the below four requirements, it would make it a much easier read for everyone involved, thanks. I am going nuts looking and cannot find a unit meeting the 4 below requirements. I have been looking for a long, long time. I am willing to do some extra installation work to get this done properly. If I cannot get an answer here there is probably no hope so I may then defenestrate! Requirements:

1. SMALL holder that can attach to a HORIZONTAL surface (not a huge geeky looking contraption with huge arms or snaking bendable supports, no huge sand-filled weights - minimal size - also power supply not on the holder which makes it bulky)

2. Allows the Kaiser to be switched between landscape/portrait position

3. Allows the Kaiser to be held with the keyboard open if preferred

4. Full functionality for auto-charging, interrupting radio speakers when turn by turn directions are spoken by GPS on the unit (extra wires and transformer kit to be hidden for installation - AND NO USE OF CIGARETTE LIGHTER!). Power supply for charging the unit must be OFF when car is not in use, so as not to wear out car battery (I would assume that is just an installation preference).

Anybody have any ideas?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Esteel:
Is there something about the Proclip holder that doesn't meet those criteria? The only thing I can find is connectivity to the stereo. For me, I redirect the GPS audio to my Bluetooth headset where I can hear it better anyway.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Blowfish64:
Yeah, Proclips is your best bet. There's nothing that does all that out-of-box on the market right now. If you want to hook it up directly into your stereo system, then of course you're going to have to do that yourself. Or use bluetooth.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] KruseLudsMobile:
I guess there is nothing on the market

The solutions from Proclip that you suggest have no way of mounting the unit on a flat horizontal surface without damaging the car - I guess I would have to use one or two of these:

http://www.proclipusa.com/?sectionp...egoryid=&p_year=&p_countryid=0&p_leftorright=

from proclips to mount the holder (have to drill holes on the mounting surface).

Since the Tilt will work with the soon to be released higher capacity Micro SD cards (now only 8GB available but the tilt would be able to handle up to 32GB - when available) it would be nice to add the audio (music) as an automatically overriding input for the car's audio as well, for that I will have to use the hack mentioned here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=339263

for replacing the plug on the unit with one that includes the audio out...

I will post pics once I figure out what direction I want to go with this...
