This was very helpful in getting Nova working...thanks!

So In addition to removing the default launcher and installing Nova, I've uninstalled the following apps:

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.browser

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.lives

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.wallet

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.smarthome

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.findmyphone

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.hwpay

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.desktop.explorer

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.mycenter

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.tips

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.scenepack

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.unionpay.tsmservice

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.iflytek.speechsuite

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.hidisk

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.fans

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.mms

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.mediacenter

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.gamebox

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.intelligent

Most of this is bloatware, but please check whether you will use these or not. I suggest installing App Inspector in order to associate application names with package names.

To all, If there are any other apps that are not needed, please share them so we can get a completed list and script.

Apologies for a newbie question but does the removal of apps using this method affect or prevent future OTA updates for the phone?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] torr310:
It will not affect OTA. This method actually uninstalls apps from user 0 only and all of the apps are still in the system. A factory reset will bring everything back in case you uninstalled the wrong apps.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] htchd2mtk:
No impact at all...I received the 137 update after I completed the uninstalls. Also, if you delete something by accident, you can reset the phone and all the apps will be there.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] BB55:
Thanks for that. My concern regarding resting the phone is it would revert back fully to Chinese and I can't read Chinese :)
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] torr310:
I believe you can pick the language as English at the very beginning. In case you want to know the translation, how about using Google Translate's camera function? *This requires another phone or tablet to have camera, of course. ?

Does anyone have problems with the gestures once using Nova? When I swipe up to close app and go home it's sticks on recent apps?

---------- Post added at 11:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 AM ----------

Is anyone else having issues with gestures once on Nova? When I swipe up to home it sticks on recent apps???
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Abdul Oxford:
If using Nova, I stick to using the 3 button navigation bar. You can also hide navigation bar with the hide button, which you can activate in settings
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] naveed:
Same problem here, I've just had to accept using the default launcher because I want to use the gestures, haha. :(
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] ress_:
I've come to the same conclusion, gestures stop working when stock launcher is uninstalled. Luckily the EMUI launcher is OK and it looks pretty good with a Android P theme I found on huaweitheme.work and a built-in live wallpaper.

If I can get KLWP working I'll stick to EMUI since 3rd party launchers seems to have a disadvantage on Pie (Google for android-pie-recents-system-launchers-only). Maybe it's a different story with unlocked bootloaders though.

Edit: Not so fast! So I found out about the app fluid that adds navigation gestures. I keep the stock launcher so that overview (resent app interface) is preserved and instead of the regular bottom swipe for home command, I set it to launch the activity .NovaLauncher. The crazy thing is: stock gestures are still active (so that there are no nav. buttons). But as it's possible to set sensitivity ("swipe-area") fluid seems to override the stock gestures. AND with adb it should be possible to deactivate navigation buttons from fluid (adb shell pm grant com-fb.fluid android.permission.WRITE_SEQURE_SETTINGS). I have not tried that yet though.

However: The stock launcher is still there in the background (it has to be to maintain overview) so there is a slight chance of getting back to it. When in resent apps, if I press somewhere outside the apps, I will get back to EMUI launcher. That's not something I do every day though.

Have the EVR-L29 (better experience than L00 though am not a sophisticated user in terms of Netflix etc) I use buzz launcher (theming). With the 9.0.0.127 update (did not check before this update that I got upon checking when setting it up first time), I installed buzz launcher and saw in default apps the option to choose this launcher over the Huawei launcher. Chose it but when I tried to hit the home button in Nav bar it would not launch and revert back to the Huawei launcher (saying some error in starting it) So I simply went to the alternate launcher app itself and opened it. It opened without an issue. Subsequent home presses have always got me to this alternate launcher (no Huawei launcher any more) no tweaks needed (think update took care of this functionality) edit alternate launcher also remained on reboot
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] porchwolf:
You can only have one launcher installed if you're having this issue. Thus, the single launcher, will be the default. I don't know if this is happening to everyone, but it happened to me on the Chinese version.

Is there any other way of changing the default launcher without deleting the stock launcher. I tried doing it from Twisted home, but unless I was doing the wrong sequence, it wouldn't work. Any thoughts.

Has anyone had luck keeping TeslaUnread notifications on? It seems I have to re-enable notification privileges within system settings often, toggling off and on again.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] biofx80:
I think it's because you install the last update with the warning message at the top isnt it ?

When I install the last update the stock launcher is back and nova appears in Grey.

So i doesnt do the adb command again because I'm afraid to be on the same position of you...

Why nobody talk about this limitation ? We are on Android if we cant customize our Phone it's à shame for Huawei.

Waiting for alternative rom to fix because Huawei wrote he want to forbid all launcher....

Not cool for Huawei
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Abdul Oxford:
This is bad if they are blocking the ADB route.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] BB55:
Had to do a factory reset on my AL00 two days ago. Downloaded my preferred launcher, successfully removed stock launcher via adb and now have my preferred launcher as default. I have always had the red warning on the default launcher screen. Works perfectly for me.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] biofx80:
Cool

Cool. You think I had to do a factory reset too ?

So if i understand.

I reset

I download nova

I use adb to remove stock launcher

And hop nova works ?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] BB55:
For me the factory reset was to regain GPS because it would not work.

I would not do a factory reset unless it is absolutely necessary because all of your apps and settings are returned to default and you have to start all over again with google stuff from the chinese app store. It's a pain.

But yes, if you cannot access via adb then something is wrong and maybe a factory reset is your only option.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] biofx80:
I saw that because à friend of mine wich is in the same state like me try the adb tips and results.

The stock launcher not appears but nova still stay in Grey and he have no launcher working...

[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] retrofred:
So I tried installing Nova launcher and so far it's working excellent. Didn't have to go through all sets that is mentioned in this post. I'm using the international version of the Mate 20 X. Now I'm running the paid version of Nova, which I bought years ago for another phone. It's asks in the prime setting to set as default launcher. I've reset the phone a couple of times and it still starts up with Nova. View attachment 4720584
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] papashex:
The international version does not have the baked in restrictions of the Chinese version. After struggling with the Honor Note 10 (Chinese only) I was willing to pay the extra for the "fully functional" 20 X international. Much happier now.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] ajp558:
Sorry if I have misunderstood, but does that mean that Nova launcher Prime will work fine with EVR-L29 model stuck with old firmware version 9.0.0.172, without having to use ADB to remove the stock launcher first?

I had assumed that the problem with non-Huawei launchers affected both versions of the phone, so I have been familiarising with the stock launcher home screen with app drawer since I got the phone 2 days ago, even though I have used Nova previously on every mobile for the past few years.

This is also the first phone I have had which I am expecting to not root & flash with a non standard ROM, so I am trying to adapt and use standard functionality without tailoring everything to exactly how I want it (or at least I used to want...).

AJP
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] papashex:
That is correct AJ. I have EVR-L29. The default launcher can be chosen in settings as usual / expected. I'm on 9.0.0.184 but I don't think that matters. Alternate launcher was the first thing I tried upon arrival (before update).

Hi, i'm all new to XDA and i hope, creating this thread was not the wrong way to do. If so, thanks for pointing me in the right direction then.

I actually only wanted to know if there is an existing port of the google pixel 2/3 camera app that actually works on an Umidigi One Pro and if not so, are there any devs interested in making one ?

The device itself is a really great phone, only the camera is below average and i was hoping to improve that by using the gCam, only i can't seem to find any recent version that works on the device and i almost tried them all by now.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gioeletempestini:
I don't think that Umidigi One Pro will ever get the GCam because of Mediatek. Snapdragon devices manage in getting it thanks to the Hexagon DSP, which is inside Snapdragon processors. A good solution for the camera of your Umidigi One Pro could be the Lenovo Snap-It camera, I used it on my old Umidigi S2 and it increased a lot the quality of my photos. I leave you the link to download it (unfortunately the thread was abandoned so that app won't get updates but it will surely be better than your system camera app)
