I've just installed the Google Now Launcher but some icons, like calendar and notes, are missing, showing only a green android.
Is there a way to fix this?

Please use search, this topic has been discussed before.
The icons for certain built in LG apps do not appear to show up in third party launchers. Some folks have found icon packs that you can install to work around the issue (this only works with certain launchers).

Got it, thanks..
Another question (I've just found out).. How can I disable google now launcher (to use again the LG launcher) without uninstalling it? If I go in the app menu the disable button, the one to delete the preference for that app, is grey..

That's not working as I said, the button is grey, I can't clear the defaults like I do with the other app!
Okay I misunderstood your first post on this. The LG launcher is called home. launch that and it should ask if you want it as the default.

Hey friends,
& Especially for you who are rocking the China version. You brave souls.
I'm curious to hear what you think of Huawei's default launcher? Opinions? Thoughts?

I'm using Mate 10 pro right now and I've bought Nova a couple of years ago. Nova is the best launcher for me, but huawei luncher is not bad either. I've used it for a year now heavy modified and westernised. I'll publish my review after I get the Mate 20 x next week.
Neato. I used Nova since I got my Mate 9, but it sounds like only the Default will work on the new Chinese versions.
Are you getting the China version?
It's very functional, but relatively slow and laggy - that's my experience on both the P20 Pro and Honor Note 8.
The HN8 is my main phone. I'm using Trebuchet at the moment, which is immensely smoother and faster.
There shouldn't be a problem using 3rd party launchers after 9.12x.xxx updates, but currently you'll have to go the adb method of removing Huawei Home to force the OS to choose your already installed preference, as Huawei had removed the option to select another launcher as default after complaints about malware etc - after an outcry it's now going to be reverted.

Yes, but I haven't plan to use any other launcher than stock anyway. It has its advantages and it is more customizable than one might think.

Oh. :fingers-crossed:
The Huawei Mate 20x launcher is A-OK. It is not laggy or problematic. If you want to use a third party launcher prior to the Huawei home manager fix, use Twisted Home Manager and gestures only for navigation in both the launcher and phone.
The Twisted Home Manager works.

Dosn't work for me. Or I don't know how to use it.
The instant I touch over Nova Launcher it opens de app, but doesn't change the default launcher.
Can you tel me how did you changed the default launcher?
Thanks a lot!

They all say use wicked launcher and stuff but what they really mean is just go click nova launcher and it will launch but don't hit the home button or anything. You can only use gestures.. Which honestly to me isn't replacing the launcher when only doing setting the default launcher to me is "replacing the launcher"

Doesn't work for me either. Have gestures only setup but any swipe to get the multi tasking view always reverts it back to the stock launcher.

What did work for me was deleting the Huawei Home using adb:
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.launcher
After that, the system used the other launcher available (Nova in my case).
The only downside is that the swipe up for home using gesture navigation doesn't work anymore. The nav bar though, works perfectly. It bothers me because on the Honor note 10, with previous EMUI, you could change the launcher and the gesture still worked.
Thanks to mudnightoil who pointed this out before in this same thread.

Got it. From typical computer window. While phone is up and running and after saying allow for the ADB connection on the phone. My hold up was changing USB from Charging to MTP and resetting/checking that USB is really set on.
Now I wish I could kill the repeated "remove the malicious (all non-China) apps prompt.
I like the standard launcher. Just wish the would fix it so the home screen would landscape like my M10 Pro does
I saw someone reported the default launcher could be staggerring, though I would like to share my input.
I have been using Samsung phone from Galaxy S5 and I have been turned the animations off in the Developers mode. I didn't see the difference turning them off nor the need of keeping them up. If you were willing to try without the animations for a few days, you probably will like it that way.
where is developers mode I can't enable it

Same as in many, go to about phone and tap on the build 5 times. It shows up under abnout phone, but under ther bottom advanced drop down menu. (I don't know why it seems the most useful items are under the last entry on menus with a "v" indicator). It is often easier to just search from the top of settings.
Hi to all!
Simply question: I want to remove the google assistant in the bottom corners of the homescreen, so i go settings>apps & notifications>default apps>assist & voice input>assist app and i select none and till here nothing to say. The problem is that everytime i reboot or switch off the phone, google assistant return as default app instead of "none" and it's a lot weird. There's a way to definitely remove the app? i don't want to uninstall or disable it, only remove from the corners. Maybe a fake app to put there instead of google. Thank you!

If you're rooted, just freeze it with titaniumbackup. If not rooted, use adb to disable.
Edit... N/m Check the launcher settings? I use nova launcher so never seen it.
Which os are you on?
when I follow that route (settings>apps & notifications>default apps>assist & voice input>assist app) I just have Google, no option for "none".
i use the MS launcher and I've never had the Google assistant on the home screen, switched back to the 1+ default and it wasn't there either
I'm on stock oos 10.0.12, I've taken a screen.. and I'm using Nova launcher

I've said I don't want to disable it because I think it could give problems
EDIT: See now from PC that your sentence was crossed out. I'm using nova too, is there a setting inside launcher that i don't see?

I'm not sure.. I have mine set to 'none' as I don't use the assistant. I haven't had any issues. In fact, it's been that way since I set up the phone some 9 months ago.
Reviewers say you can't do it but you can.
Global rom
1. Download Launcher
2. Settings, Apps, App Info, 3 dots top right corner, Default App Settings, Launcher.
Enjoy.
On my (UK) Redmagic 8 Pro it is:
Settings Applications > App info > (three dots right corner) >Default app settings > Desktop
I also managed to do this earlier by first installing an alternative launcher and then going to:
Settings > Applications > App info > Nubia Launcher > Open by default > Clear defaults
After clearing the default, attempting to go "Home" then showed the option of setting the default launcher.
First post in the forum YAY, actually wanted to chime in here
I’m using lawn chair 2 (kinda got used to the folder covers and speed of it, trying to migrate to nova but im finding hard to keep margins and speediness from lawn chair on it)
Only caveat is that (At least with lawn chair and nova) you loose the switch in between apps gesture (slide from the bottom left or right) but if you try another one with it working it would be amazing to read about it. It kinda slows me down in my work flow.
Kind regards
This doesn't work on my z50 ultra. Under default app settings, there is no desktop or launcher option anyone know of any workaround?

I also downloaded lime launcher. Same thing happens, I can open the app and customise it but it won't let me set it as home. The first pic I posted is still all it shows me even though I have two different launchers installed.

Doesn't this require root? I couldn't find a forum on XDA dedicated to the Z50 Ultra to even find a root method.

Only thing that comes to mind is to mail zte directly, their customer service is not… that efficient… but still.
Okay, I think I've found a workaround. For anyone else with this issue, download Niagara launcher. It'll let you select your own launcher from within the app and nova will show up if you have it installed.

It is the first time I'm seeing something like this. Quite absurd not to allow setting a 3rd party launcher as default.
Xiaomi allows setting 3rd party launchers as default, but it disables gesture navigation in that case. Another absurd decision.
Glad that you figured out a way to solve this. So your device OEM has hidden the ability to change the default launcher. Niagara Launcher seems to unhide it for users. Good job.

I am facing an issue with my Samsung Galaxy F41, I am trying to set a custom launcher as my default launcher but I keep getting prompted to select between my custom launcher and the Samsung pre-built one.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have already specified the custom launcher as my default in the default apps settings, but it keeps asking me to choose between the two. I have attached a video that shows the exact problem I am facing.
Your browser is not able to display this video.
I am not aware of any API changes made by Samsung in their latest update (Someone told me that it's something related api and i don't know what was he wanted to tell me), but I have tried all the ways I know to fix the problem and I still can't figure it out. I have tried multiple famous launchers available in the Play Store, but the problem remains.
If you have any solution to this issue, please let me know in the comments section. I would really appreciate your help in resolving this issue as I am eager to use my custom launcher as my default.
For example, Nova Launcher defends itself from being removed as the main launcher in its own settings.

Kvaesitso is a search focused, free and open source launcher for Android.

Btw I tried Nova launcher as well but getting same issue.
Before selecting a launcher app, try tapping on "Always" first.
I'm using One UI 2.5 with Nova and it works OK, but Kvaesitso doesn't work well because except for the home screen with clock and notifications I can't open the app panel.
