No. it's Available

I think it's google search maybe it's disabled or removed, I don't use the stcok launcher cuz it's so poor but I remembered that I disabled that option from the launcher

try 1st to clear google data (the google search app with the assistant you will need to configure G.assistant again) 2nd disable the swipe up option from the config (see attachement) and see if you still getting the error.
the launcher I use is this one they say it's ads free I couldn't know since I have an adblock but it has many options it's the best for me so far

I guess there is something wrong with search engine of stock launcher.
If you don't wanna to change launcher, I suggest you to go Settings -> Home Screen, and then deactivate "Swipe up to open search".
If you wanna a new laucher, I suggest Nova Launcher.

STK app missing

hey, why is there no STK on the app drawer but it is listed at app settings?
anyone knows how to make it appear at the drawer?
i really need this app
I had the same problem with one or two roms. For me it helped to chose "deinstall" in settings/apps and I was asked to deinstall an update of stk. After deinstalling this update stk was shown again in app drawer..
i also need simtoolkit on my lu6200

deinstall? you mean uninstall?
Yes, sorry, too much switching German/English the last days. As far as I remember (It's some weeks ago) I selected "uninstall" and was asked "do you want to uninstall last update?". After confirming, the "stock" stk was back and shown in the app drawer.
well, my stk on app settings doesnt have uninstall on it. "force stop" is the only one that can be pressed. what rom are you using when you did that?
I think it was under ICS (4.0.4.). I just tried with CM10, you're right, you can't uninstall. But I tried another thing (be sure to have a backup): I used the program RootAppDelete, selected System Apps, Pro Mode, and selected "uninstall" for SIM-Toolkit. It said "uninstall failed" but there was a new stk-icon created on my home screen and, of course, stk still works!
I don't have the problem of missing stk in app drawer since I use CM10, but maybe this could be a workaround?

Ditto. There is also no separate apk that could help bring the stk. Or is it?

[Q] "complete action using" not stick

I have noticed this. I am currently on the deodexed KK version with some tweaks by munjeni, but I think it's a KK issue. I seem to recall the same behavior on stock.
went into Setting>apps>"Browser">set default, found out Set Default "GRAY OUT"! ?
update -
Right, sort of found a temp solution to fixed browser. (Xposed and rooted)
Download Xposed module Complete Action Plus, turn off the other browser and set only one browser available. (Manage app in list).
I want to set Link Bubble as default and Chrome/ dolphin as secondary. So went to setting and configure Link Bubble as favorite and turn off others. This allow link to auto open in Link Bubble and if i need to search by browser i can select apps individually to open.
Hope this help others using this temp solution, otherwise need MOD or KITKAT fix. Not sure it was a Kitkat bug as not seen many people has this issue.
No issues here, did you full wipe before installing?
Sent from the app on my Z1C...
yes, full wipe (system), Titanium restore (Non-system file) only. Well, will leave it for now and update KK fix with full wipe again.

I wonder if it's the restore that's thrown it out.

Homescreens/Google Now

Flashed the latest factory image to my Nexus 7 (2013), cannot seem to slide to the right for Google Now (looked thorugh settings), nor does it seem I can delete unused homescreens. Any suggestions/known issues?
Lollipop doesn't come with the Google Now Launcher as the default. You'll need to install the Google Now Launcher from the playstore if you haven't already. After you install that, once you press the home key it should ask you which launcher you want to use. Make sure you choose the correct Google Now Launcher, select "Always" and you should be good to go.
If you have already installed the Google Now Launcher, I would suggest uninstalling it and then reinstalling it.
What worked for me...

I had just had the same experience. Factory image with Google Now installed. I found that I needed to go into "Google Settings" and "Search & Now". For some reason, Google Now was switched off. I turned it on and now I have my swipe for Google Now back. I hope this helps.

I'm on 195 on both my devices and i can remove launcher by ADB... Have you tried to factory reset ? Your best bet will be Root if you have your Bootloader Unlocked... Get the System App Remover and debloat everything on your device... I always use this app to remove junk...

Well well, something strange has happend to me as well. Both of my Mate 20 X units were running 195, i was able to remove the stock launcher without any problems on both of them.. however, i might have remove some system apps because i screw one of my devices and i had to Factory Reset it to get it working again.
After i have Factory Reset it and tried to remove again the Stock launcher : FAILURE ... just like you said...

(( Dangg, i spend so much money on these ,, piece of ..sh..t '' devices and i'm not able to Get a Bootloader Unlocked Code, not able to Root, not even to remove the stock launcher... Dang Huawei... I'm gonna have to sell these and stick to Xiaomi or Samsung...
PS : HUAWEI, is this some kind of a joke ?! I am so disappointing about this... If i would have known, i would't throw my money on you... Learn from Samsung and Xiaomi...

Go for google play store
Download this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.agooday.fullscreengestures
Gave it all permissions
Go to swipe from the bottom option
Then choose center swipe
Choose the launcher you wanna use from app shortcut
Now when you swipe back to home it will directly go to the launcher home not the stock one
It's happened to me after small update for the AI, look like they block launcher disabled or uninstall, now I'm stuck with the most stupid launcher forever I hope someone find another way to disable it again.

Hi buddy, i already post a Tutorial on How to Remove Stock Launcher on v.195 Update
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-x/how-to/guide-how-to-remove-stock-launcher-195-t3904514

I messed up removing the stock Gallery app..

Hi all,
Got my 20X running EMUI 9.1 (all stock) and started disabling some useless apps (to me) like Google Music & Google Photos..
But these constantly re-enabled themselves appearing back on home screen.. So I decided to go ADB
Removed mostly Google apps I wasn't using but then I deleted some Huawei ones like HiCare..
...because I was doing such a good job :silly: I decided to get rid of the stock Gallery app - that is com.android.gallery3d and another one like com.android.gallery3d.overlay IIRC
Set my own gallery app as Default however the Huawei Camera app will not let me access recent shots as it's asking for the stock Gallery app...
Any way I can get around this please?
My goto is try apkmirror
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/huawe...ease/gallery-9-0-15-355-android-apk-download/
May or may not like it.
You can also check default apps under apps in setting to reset as default if necessary

Factory Reset will get you all back to before you started disabling/deleting apps.

Was afraid I'd have to do that... just after I finished setting everything up :l

Factory Reset is your fastest way of getting it working again as far as I know. Once you start deleting factory files/apps, I'm not sure what interacts with other files/apps to know exactly what needs to be reinstalled/added manually. With Factory Reset there's no question since it puts everything back how it was from factory. I was lucky enough to unlock my bootloader prior to Huawei blocking that and as a rule I freeze apps via Titanium Backup and wait at least a few weeks to see if anything else is effected before deleting.

You can try an older version and then see if it can be upgraded. The AppMarket if on AL00 is an alternative.
Huawei Backup & Restore is actually pretty good at settings and data, if you can save off the device itself before a reset.
So I managed to sort this out without having to Factory Reset, I just re-installed the app via adb
cmd package install-existing <name of package>
[Also returned the phone in the meantime]
