[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
For me the best launcher which i always go back to is LawnChair and it's Google feed add-on.

It's a lot like the Pixel launcher but has a lot more settings.

Icon size, theming, weather provider, gestures, app hiding etc.

It's rapid too and fluid, and it's free :D

Make sure the launcher is set as the default one, if the 2nd launcher in use crashes then the only thing the system can do is revert back, if you're using lawnchair, use the latest version.

I have it installed and mine never reverts back.

Another way would be if you were rooted you could freeze the original launcher in titanium.

Total launcher.

Steep learning curve though
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] DavidZid:
Long time on my previous phones I used Nova and Apex launcher. For 2 years now I am using Microsoft Launcher which supports icon notifications for free and I must say I'm still returning to it. I tried Evie launcher on my P20 Pro but for some reason it consumed the battery a lot. Microsoft launcher does not consume battery at all (always like 1 mAh <), its fast and stable, modern looking but different compared to "stock android looking" launchers.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] snorrski:
I use Nova Launcher, as it gives me everything I need. If you have problems with reverting to the stock launcher you can try to lock the new launcher in resent

See this screen recording to know how

Has anyone managed to get the pixel 3 launcher on to there Huawei device?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Dixi1801:
I also wish to know this!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Yea several times..depends which one you install.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] jaimeletelierhay:
Right......do you have a link to any of these?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
No not on me, have you searched.

I have a thread with them in in either the themes and apps section or guides. P20 Pro threads.

They're not as good as lawn chair so I got rid. Lawn chair is in the play store
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] jaimeletelierhay:
Ok mate I'll have a look. Cheers
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
No worries pal.

Are you on EMUI or Treble / Lineage

The Katey being much easier to accommodate
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] jaimeletelierhay:
Emui complete stock. Not touched a thing. I did see some of the pixel 3 APK files starting to come thru. Tried to install those and run them but no joy. They installed fine but didn't show up anywhere for me to launch them
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Just search for launcher or home in settings. Sometimes they're blocked and force an uninstall.

Some others don't, friends if emui sees them as intrusive, it's quite odd.

As I said I moved away from pixel launchers, they could sometimes be smoother but also missed features like pull down anywhere for notifications.

So I dropped them and went with lawnchair which is the closest thing you can get and it works without issue, you'd need the Google feed.

The pixel launcher also didn't allow the usage of icon changing unless you use a 2nd app wick modifies the launcher, think that may be an app that requires route access though.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] ant78:
ive updated my firmware and you cant use a different launcher? Everytime i switch to ANY launcher other than the stock it just crashes
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] happyhammer66:
You probably just need to give the launcher correct permissions first
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] fatguy666:
Been using Lawnchair on the recommendation of [MENTION=2880355]dladz[/MENTION] and it's pretty great. Using Halo icon pack with HTC wallpaper built into the app.

I did get a critical error the first time and was asked if I wanted to uninstall, I just set as default then rebooted the phone and it's been fine ever since!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Try changing the DPI and the icon size.

I'm using the Berkeley ROM AICP

It's actually for the Honor view 10

Has its issues but if you can live without a few bits then it's a monster ROM.

Stereo and NFC not working, personally don't mind and it's a small price to pay to get away from EMUI.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] fatguy666:
Left my wallet in my other jeans the other week leading to an embarrassing situtation at the check out in Tesco, NFC is now a must for me!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Haha your call fella..

Have you got a smart watch with WiFi? Could make all the difference.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
If we could get the pixel launcher with the pull down gestures and full theming then I'd swap in a heart beat.

But it's always lacking.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] ant78:
not correct, Huawei has turned off the feature for launchers
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
There must be a way
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] ant78:
not without uninstalling the official Huawei launcher, but i think you need to be rooted to do this?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Ah ok. Really really crap that tbh, what are Huawei doing, they're literally crippling choice which is essentially the opposite of what android is.

Terrible
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] ant78:
Apparently is something to do with people reporting bugs with 3rd party apps so Huawei simply disabled it to stop it! I love my Nova launcher and gutted they took this step:crying:
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Personally I'm running AOSIP from the Berkeley (Honor view 10) forum.

Everything is perfect besides two issues.

Stereo speakers

NFC

Besides that it's the most feature packed custom ROM I've ever used and it's the smoothest I've ever used on any phone.

Personally don't miss stereo and NFC I use on my card so no Biggie and no restrictions.

Currently using the latest pixel launcher which is but smooth.

Wouldn't mind but the emui launcher is horrible it really is.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] BlChaT:
Hi everyone. Has anyone tried to compare the stock EMUI launcher to the Nova or any other launcher? I was using the Nova Primer but it always seemed slower than the EMUI launcher. Am I the only one with this problem? Is there anything that I can do to make Nova as fast as stock EMUI launcher?

Oh and can launchers even be changed on android Pie (EMUI 9)?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] masze:
I'm running Nova on Pie, P20Pro

The disableing of 3e part launcher is only for chinese version of the phone!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] HellDiverUK:
The new version of Action Launcher is excellent. WAY faster than Nova.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] smohanv:
So far I am experiencing Nova launcher is smooth and faster and working very well in pie.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] nightm:
I really like Smart Launcher (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ginlemon.flowerfree) - it's just beautiful (auto look based on wallpaper, "adaptive" icons) and support for e.g. "down" gesture to show notifications (really handy).
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] chafamexxx:
I had Nova on my P10, now I´ve been using Evie for a couple months and I´m very pleased. SUper smooth, simple and customizable.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] grizzlyspid86:
It will work on Huawei device. Turns on all permission, tick write to system apps. Go to settings, apps, default apps & change launcher to using 'CPL'.

Done.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zimcommando:
Hyperion is much more slimlined than Nova, but has all the benefits. I have also switched to it from Nova.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Yes it does. Least it does on mine, but the I haven't committed to pie yet and if I did I certainly wouldn't be running emui.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] spiderx_mm:

[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Chris dipo:
I recently bought a vivo nex s from eBay it’s the Chinese version. I love the phone but noticed I can’t update my apps that I download off the play store. Should I sell it on eBay and just get the global or keep the China version and use APK mirror
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Eskibo:
I heard the app situation you're experiencing is due to the last update Vivo released.

Us with international models are not experiencing this as that update hasn't rolled out to us yet.

One solution is to download Aptoid and use that for application download and updates.

Under any circumstance i would opt for the international version if I were you.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] STEVE_MARS:
New update and Play Store crash solved. 1.18.4 version.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Chewat182:
I am Interested in getting the VIVO Nex but I am wondering what are the software differences between the Chines and the international versions are?
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] STEVE_MARS:
Too much:

- Vivo account only with chinese number phone

- Not Play Store preinstalled

- Too much trouble with notifications and Permissions

- A lot of stuff chinese garbage

and more...

With time and patient all works, but it isn´t easier that Global Rom.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Chewat182:
So it would just be easier to get the global Rom then? What about Jovi, i have heard that that's only in Mandarin? Or does the global Rom just use google assistant?
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] STEVE_MARS:
For me its better Global ROM. In Global, dont use Jovi, instead use Google assistant.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] desko:
Can anyone show what languages are on global version?
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] STEVE_MARS:
Language: Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong SAR), English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese (Taiwan), Tibetan (China), Uyghur (China), Filipino, Lao, Malay, Burmese (ZG), Thai, Hindi, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Russian, Khmer, Arabic, French, Nepali, Bengali, German, Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Urdu, Assamese, Oriya, Sanskrit, Gujarati, Kannada, Marathi, Malayalam, Maithili, Punjabi, Sinhalese, Telugu, Tamil, Spanish (Latino American), Portuguese (Brasil), Burmese (MM), Korean, Japanese

this is the link to get the global one i have the china version and just ordered this due to its better to use not that their is anything wrong with the china version, you just have to do the google install manually i would recommend ordering this asap since it is 20 percent off !
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Phaze1585:
Is the phone preopened for inspection?
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] OreoLivesOn:
I have the Chinese vivo nex that I ordered from tradingshenzen, and I already set it up that everything works, and all Chinese crap is to a minimum. However there's a rumor that the global version has better hardware like better fingerprint sensor, is that true? Is it recommended to switch to global or not. Here is how mine looks like btw https://youtu.be/uhoxGY7MGUY
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Chris dipo:
Is the Global version of the vivo nex s the international version

I recently just purchased a Vivo nex S on gear best and the description says it's the Global version or Global rom is that considered the international version?!?!

https://m-us.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_009177666969.html
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] -Andro1d-:
Yes because when you push the button on the left hand side it opens google lens by default instead of jovy (chinese assistant)
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Killarusse85:
is there any possibility to know it´s global or chinese version without opening the packging?

or better say: how can i say it´s global version without turning the phone on. is it possible to see it via serial number, or included accesoires? the packaging?
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Guy1731:
Gearbest's global version is the global version. I have it, I know.

Get it too, it's a wonderful phone.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Chris dipo:
So the Global version is the international version which comes pee installed with Google and less of the Chinese app clutter?
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Guy1731:
Yes, not a single Chinese character on this phone since I have it. I installed everything I need and did all the settings I wish. I even didn't bother to uninstall anything with adb, because there's nothing to bother about.

Really a wonderful phone.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Hurbad:
That sounds great,

Interested in buying it but I wasn't unsure about the whole DRM L1 thing where you're unable to play protected content such as Netflix, Amazon on Full HD and only plays at SD or 500p. Wanted your input on that also does the global version come with NFC? willing to sacrifice the NFC so not really a problem.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] CapraSebi:
No nfc and yes only L1 but the noticable difference doesn't seem to be huge..unbox therapy checked it with the pocophone(same L1)
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Chris dipo:
Do you use the messages app that it comes with? Or did you download Google messages or a different 3rd party sms app.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] OreoLivesOn:
i have the chinese version, but got ahold of the public vivo account, changed the launcher, have play store, little to no chinese stuff. is it still worth it to get the global version?
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] MixEvo:
I have had both the Chinese and now have the Global and by far the global is better if you are at least in the US (or western areas) mainly because you don't need a vivo account to change the launcher, and I get all my notifications without issues. Where I had issues with the Chinese version
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] RoccoN4:
I have the Global version in Canada and everything works no issues. One thing tho, I seem to get double notifications on the lock screen on some apps. Allow for example. Anyone else notice this?

Thanks

Will android version update be updated?

Hi,

I am planning to buy NEX S (global version) from bestgear. I have some questions like :

1. will the android version be updated like we used to do on any samsung mobile?

2. will all the applications be updated as on any other android based mobile?

3. how much Chinese language do have to face on the global version?

4. on the global version, do we still have to face VIVO account issues, like use of Chinese mobile number required thing (I have no idea about it and I am expecting surprising issues)?

5. Will the global version work in Saudi Arab?

Is there anyone braving enough to answer my questions with authority or experience :p

[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Twotems:
Wherever or whoever you heard that from is talking crap because the sound comes out of the speaker for music, movies, videos and video calling. The screen casting is only used for phone calls and it's good.

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] topslop1:
Yes I have the same issue going on now. I'm trying to see if there's some kind of manual over-ride or if the phone can cycle the screen on and off with just the side button / power button click alone. Would be fantastically helpful.

Mine is not dirty, it is broken, I have tried cleaning it with no avail.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Mysteryagr:
Hello all respectful members and users of Xiaomi Note 5 ​

I'm here today to talk about an issue with MI account region, if you have an old account it is set to China and you cannot change it, same issue if you moved to another country.

I have an account since 2014, although I'm Egyptian they set the region to "China" and now I can't change it :rolleyes:

I tried to correct the region from my phone, and by signing in from the laptop, but they don't give you an option.

Then I decided to contact them, they suggested unreasonable workaround which was to delete the account and make a new one!

I also reported a bug here, if you want to help in fixing this bug, please visit the bug report here and click on "confirm" at the end of the report.

Kindly leave your thoughts and comments on the thread.

Have a nice day :fingers-crossed:
