Agree with that, but only if we can remove the Lock Screen Message : This device is managed by your company, that would be awesome... i still did not find this option in the settings...

Please read description very carefully. Since the Update v. 195, Huawei block the option to Delete the Stock Launcher on Huawei Mate 20 X via ADB Console.

ADB Method is no longer supported ( INTERNAL FAIL ERROR ).
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] letschky:
Ok,sorry,but with root is no Problem to change the Launcher
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] filip_pine:
For those of us ( like 80% ) who have a Locked Bootloader, there is no Root Option.... :(

:eek:Not to mention Huawei stop providing Unlock Codes...
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] letschky:
my Bootloader is open on Note 10 and View 20,there is a buy Option.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] flatronics:
I'm one of those if not the only who was able to disable stock launcher via ADB command after the 195 update. I got the 198 update just a moment ago and it did not restore the stock launcher...
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] mscion:
Hi. Are you rooted and/or have unlocked bootloader? To be clear, what are exact commands you used? Thanks!
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] flatronics:
All stock, no unlocked BL, no root.

I don't remember the exact command but it's the standard ADB command of uninstalling apps.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] mscion:
Interesting.

Which version phone do you have? Chinese (AL00)? Thanks!
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] flatronics:
I have the Chinese model AL00
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] filip_pine:
Don't get to excited mscion, i know exactly what he says... Trust me... You are able to Remove it first time only... Reset your phone to Factory Conditions again and the second time INTERNAL FAIL ERROR :)

I have 2 units AL00, first time after the 195 Update, when i was trying to Uninstall Stock Launcher, i was able to do so, after i reset the devices to Factory Settings while on v.195 Update, second time when i try to uninstall, Error.... :D

I think there is something that trigger itself after the first Remove attempt and then the Uninstall command become unavailable and it get back with INTERNAL FAIL ERROR
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] flatronics:
[MENTION=4190053]mscion[/MENTION] so you too did a factory reset after or while at update 195 that's why can no longer disable stock launcher?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] mscion:
Actually, I haven't tried anything yet. Just reading about things and trying to understand whats up and how to do mods. Regardless, right now I'm really disappointed with Huawei's policy with bootloader code. Just waiting a bit longer to see if it is possible to obtain. But soon I will give up and sell phone....

Strange problem.. make sure you have no user account on your phone, do a Factory Reset before and just right after the factory Reset, try to disable the Home Launcher again.. make sure you do not add any account on the phone...
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] SupaDuckie:
I guess this method doesn't work on Android 9.0. I got package couldn't be disabled :( guess I'm stuck with Huawei home for now until I get an unlock code
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] filip_pine:
Which Software Version are you running ? :eek:
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] SupaDuckie:
AL00 200 Pros of China unit I guess hahaa
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] filip_pine:
That's strange, because i'm running the same version and i can disable the Stock Launcher without any problems... Are you sure you have removed all the accounts from your phone before trying to disable the launcher ?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] SupaDuckie:
Well i factory reset from erecovery and then to get into USB debug mode i had to login to huawei ID which i did then logged out. After that tried to disable huawei home but wasn't able to disable that package sadly :(
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] iambackit:
I've the same problem. I follow all instruction, but i can only disable bloatware and other apps.

When i try to disable stock launcher, it can't.

I'm on .200, on AL00...

Error:

"This package cannot be disabled, contact us to get more support!"

And very sorry for my 1st post but i don't remember my old account here on XDA... :(
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] filip_pine:
Can you guys post a screenshot with the Accounts Page ? Are you sure there is no account there ? Only the Owner ? Thanks

Yes sure, 100%
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] iambackit:
I try again today, another reset of the phone.

Always the same problem, it seems that the launcher is in use and it's impossible to disable.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] filip_pine:
Just one question, did you install another Launcher prior to Disable the Stock One ?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] iambackit:
Yes, as i written before I followed the guide step by step, I have another lanucher (Microsoft Launcher in this case).

The message is very clear... You can't remove it because you have some accounts added to the device already... I'm running 9.0.200 and i can remove the Stock launcher...
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Gyre8:
Quick question please:

How do you reinstall the default Huawei Home Launcher back to the device after the ADB uninstall (I did this before I knew about the ADB disable command)?

Say I wanted to reset back to factory settings; This would wipe out Nova, so would I be left without a launcher at all?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] kerray:
OK, nevermind - I did uninstall most stock apps, and suddenly (although the Accounts screen looks the same as before), I was able to set the device owner.

Except (oops) that trying to disable the Huawei launcher gives me "This package cannot be disabled, contact us to get more support" - there are no accounts, and I do have Nova installed and running. Even if I terminate it, it cannot be removed.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] filip_pine:
If you Factory Reset, this would bring back the Stock Launcher. By the ADB Method you are not Removing any apps, you just Disable/Remove that app for User 0 on the phone. Cheers

Huhh, i'm out of any idea mate.... :(( My only solution to this would be : Downgrade to v195 , Disable the Stock Launcher and then Update to v200 again... This way the Update will have nothing to do with the Disabled Launcher and it will not affect in any way... Cheers
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] speedtripler:
I'm on the latest version too

How exactly do I downgrade to .195 to remove the launcher ?

I plan to go back to .200 and install emui 9.1 soon so that might put me back on the stock launcher anyway?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] speedtripler:
I managed to get it working but I am unable to disable the stock launcher even though nova is installed and running I get the "This package cannot be disabled, contact us to get more support"

I was able to disable that annoying powergenie but the launcher is a bit tricky

Now when I go to default apps/launcher I can't even see nova where before I could see it but was not allowed to switch to it.......strange
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] filip_pine:
You can Flash the original Firmware v195 ... There is lots of tutorial on How to Flash original Huawei Firmware... i'm not an expert, so you might want to ask one of the developers here which is the best and the safety method to Flash Original Firmware on Huawei Mate 20 X.

( if you manage to flash the original Firmware and downgrade, make sure to post here the tutorial for our other newbie... )

PS : Make sure you download the Firmware that is the same with your EVR-AL00 Version.

For example, i have the EVR-AL00 C00E195R1P17 ... Cheers
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] speedtripler:
It's taken me a couple of days to setup this phone because I am in an area with no landline and bad LTE

Will I have to factory' reset to downgrade the version or can it be done while maintaining the current status?

I also have the evr-AL00. 8/256 and it's a good device tbh
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] filip_pine:
I think you can create a backup to your computer and restore it later after you downgrade the firmware.

I also have 2units of AL-00, but mines are 6GB/128GB both of the devices... I rather choose AL-00 rather than L29 as i'm not using any Gapps except Youtube and Playstore...
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] flatronics:
So I want to share what I discovered that could work with you guys as well.

I have AL00 variant with unlock bootloader.

I went back to full stock ROM beta 9.1 using EMUI flasher method from RR ROM. So before I flash the stock ROM I went to save the base apk file of all my user apps so I don't have to redownload them because I have limited data, that includes my favorite launcher which is APEX, I also saved it's pro license app file.

After successfully flashing stock ROM without doing anything else, I went to install all the apk files that I backed up including the Apex apk files.

Then I went to Settings - Default App - Launcher and I wa able to select Apex Launcher.

Then I went ahead and continue with the rest of the setup and downloaded the update. After the update I still have Apex as default launcher and can no longer change it to default launcher.

I hope this work with you guys as well.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] filip_pine:
Thank you flatronics for sharing your knowledge with us. Although i do have some question :

1 - Which software or how did you save all the base .apk for each of your Installed Apk's before you flash the Stock ROM ?

2 - I know from my own experience using APK Extractor that some of the .apk cannot be installed again due to some sort of error related to ,, Parsing apk " , something like that ...

3 - When you did Select Apex like your Default Launcher, did you had the Original Huawei Launcher as well ? Because so, this mean that Huawei, with their latest EMUI 9.1 enables the Option to use third party launchers just like the L29 Version ...

4 - You said something about downloading the Update while you were on 9.1 Stock ROM... am i missing something ? There is a new Update for the 9.1 ROM already ?

Thank you
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] flatronics:
1 - I used Link2SD... I'm pretty sure it doesn't have to be the same exact .apk file from your installed app. I bet you can use those that you can download from apkmirror.

2 - I know this happens when app version is not compatible with your android version.

3 - Yes, the Huawei Launcher was there when selected which one I want to use and it's still installed. I didn't bother removing it.

4 - So the 9.1 I flashed to go back to stock was the Update_full_base.zip from Freeza's GlobAL00ized 2.0 which is 9.1.0.115 beta version. I received an update of 822MB right after but version number .115 was retained. I'm not sure why, probably to take me out of beta version since 9.1 was formally released already.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] filip_pine:
Thank you for clarify these things... it seems that Huawei has enabled the Option to use third party Launchers with their 9.1 Release just like L29 users ... :eek:

One question... Can you try this tutorial now while you are running EMUI 9.1 and let us know if it's working on this Version of Software ? Thank you
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] flatronics:
UPDATE:

I was playing with notification settings and I turned on some notification/permission for the huawei launcher then it suddenly went to home screen of the huawei launcher. It is now the default launcher and I can no longer select my favorite apex launcher coz it's not even listed anymore.

But I found a work around. I don't use the stock navigation or gestures even the capacitive buttons on my previous smartphones to navigate through the phone. Instead, I'm using Pie Controll App. Mine was set up with a simple Back, Home and Recent button, but in this app you can also assign an app in one of the pie. So what I did is replace the Home button with the Apex launcher app. Now I have Apex as my launcher everytime I need to go back to home screen/App drawer. See screenshot for reference.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] filip_pine:
I understand flatronics... so, you got that message again : Third Party Launchers not authorized by Huawei when you go to Settings - Default App - Launcher ?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] flatronics:
No, I dont have that warning mmessage which makes it confusing.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] filip_pine:
What is it really strange is that Apex Launcher is not there even if you have it installed and beside that , the message has dissapear as well... which make it confusing... :eek:
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] flatronics:
yep, I don't what to make of it anynore. lol...
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] BB55:
Got my phone in December. Did nothing other than install my preferred launcher and remove stock launcher via adb. Never had any issues since but have always had the red warning and still the same now on 9.0.0.200.

Question - in your screen shot, top left corner, I see the word 'SMART'. What is that?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] flatronics:
Ah, that's my network's name.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] filip_pine:
You don't had any issues because that was the only Launcher in your phone... even if you Update, the Stock Launcher had remain Disabled.

Since the .200 Update, several users have said they can no longer remove the Stock Launcher anymore... Seems that Huawei had remove this Option within

200 Update... although flatronics said he was able to Disable the Stock Launcher again on EMUI 9.1 ...
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] BB55:
Yes. Understand that. My post was primarily aimed at the missing red warning on flatronics screen shot.

I'm now on EMU 9.1.0 and still have red warning - but no other issues. My preferred launcher works fine so happy :)
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] filip_pine:
I see ... just curious, can you Disable the Stock Launcher on EMUI 9.1 ?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] BB55:
Don't know. The stock launcher was removed when I first got the phone and (as far as I'm aware) can only be reinstalled with a factory reset. Don't really want to try that just in case it can't be removed.

But I'm curious too.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] speedtripler:
I had installed nova launcher Prime,I got an ota security update and my nova launcher disappeared too

I have gotten used to the gestures really fast and the stock launcher isn't that bad when you actually give it a chance
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] filip_pine:
I understand... i'm afraid to Factory Reset as well for this reason :)

That's because you didn't remove the Stock Launcher first, you just installed NOVA as another Launcher... if you would had remove it first and Update , Nova would have been your primary Launcher ...

Stock Launcher is something that i hate most about this phone... :(:D
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] BB55:
Well, just got a new update today (1.jpg) and for the first time following an update my phone reverted to stock launcher.

So went to my PC and removed stock launcher via ADB .... great. It worked - confirmed by the normal success message :good:

But no, although removed my phone still reverts to the stock launcher. So I went to default apps to take a look (2.jpg). It shows 'Huawei Home' and nothing else.

Tried twisted home manager to get Launcher 10 included in the app list (and set as default) but can't do that anymore. But I can still run Launcher 10 and it works fine unless I reset the phone or clear all apps - then it always reverts back to the stock launcher.

So as a work around I have Launcher 10 on the stock launcher home page (3.jpg) and select it, when needed, to get what I want. I use a smart case and closing down the phone with that has no affect on the launcher so I'm happy for now.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] DavidMT909:
I also got the update and was able to remove Huawei as the stock launcher, but cannot set Nova as the stock launcher using Nova settings, or in the system settings. Is there not a command we can use in adb to specifically change Nova to the default? Also, I was able to remove Huawei Home from the list in default launcher, but now Drawer Home is selected as the default option. But when I press home, it goes to the default launcher.

Edit... I haven't tried the new method listed for v.195 and up yet because I haven't had an issue with any update to this point and the old method was working. At this point I am just wanting to root my phone and tired of them sending updates to remove options on OUR phones
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] filip_pine:
Hi David, you can try this method and let us all know if it's working or not... we all wanna know... Thank you
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] DavidMT909:
I would, but I got tired of the Huawei trying to own my phone with their updates, so I went ahead and unlocked the bootloader and am now stuck having problems trying to root it with Magisk.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] speedtripler:
I thought I could still disable stock launcher from the package disabler APK but it can't

Is there anything I can do to fix it from here without a factory reset?

I have nova and Evie installed already but they don't show up in the default launcher menu
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] filip_pine:
Factory Reset is not an option, as this would bring back the Stock Launcher...
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] ivanox1972:
i have used nova on emui 9.0, i removed stock launcher few updates ago and nova survived later updates... But, now, on 9.1.119. nova is not even shown in launch list although I can start it manually and it works normally... Is there any way on this newest to put nova as

home?

thanks

BTW. I not see it its new AOD showing notifications 3rd party- no viber, no telegram...
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] filip_pine:
Can you please give us more details about Nova ? How can you start it manually and it works normally ? :eek:

Did you try to select Nova as Home launcher from the Nova Settings ?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] facet_:
I solved it in this way that I installed a program for fluid ng gestures and in it I set the gesture to return to home to launch the launcher in my case, the action launcher. A bit of a substitute but somehow works.

I see... Well, for people who are using gesture, that's great... i still use screen buttons to navigate as i don't like gestures at all...
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] facet_:
I also thought that I would not admit it and yet after a year I think it's a great thing. This idea came to my mind, with the help of a trigger or automagic, you could create a trigger that would trigger any launcher like a trigger to detect that it is on stock home.
