I have Nova working on my PC. Here is a method that will not require root:
1 Install Nova Launcher from Play Store
2 Use command line (Alt-<left arrow>), you should get a black screen with the symbol # and your cursor position
a type: pm disable com.jide.filelauncher and press <ENTER> you should see a confirmation that it is disabled
b type: pm disable com.android.launcher3 and press <ENTER> you should see a confirmation that it is disabled
c type: pm disable com.google.android.launcher.layout.device and press <ENTER> you should see a confirmation that it is disabled
3. Press the Alt<left arrow> to go out of the command line
4 You will be prompted to select Nova Launcher. Be sure to tick the Always button first
5. Go to Settings/Applications and set Nova Launcher to Open in fullscreen mode
To use wallpapers you need to edit the build.prop to set ro.remixos.no_wallpaper to false (root needed)
Performance seems close to expected.

Thanks to @HypoTurtle for the help.
So far no wallpaper support. Perhaps someone else has a method?
Edit: working. OP changed
Just putting together a thread to explain this and a few other things. But I noticed in another thread you posted a screenshot with a black background: to resolve that you need ro.remixos.no_wallpaper=false in build.prop
I would also check to make sure that you have nova setup as a full-screen app, that seems to have resolved my overlay error with Apex.

U da MAN! I just used SDMaid to change to full-screen and POW! Wallpaper working!
I tried slightly more complicated way:
Firstly I installed nova.
Then I opened up the terminal by alt + f1, which has a root access by default (no root support terminal that you can found in app drawer) and typed:
pm disable com.android.launcher3 (you should information that the app has been disabled.)
Then:
am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN ,you should get this -> Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN }
Then I closed the terminal by alt + f7 and chosen Nova as default.
Results: Computer froze and I wasn't able to boot remix back again, had to reinstall. (Just if you want to know, data partition stays where it is so you can re-install it easily)
Any other ideas what code can I use?
Live Wallpaper now working.
After changing desktop grid to 4 across and changing Live Wallpaper:
Scrolling works in app drawer:
Google widget can be seen on the desktop images above. Haven't tested all widgets, but so far they all work as expected.

Try pressing the home button (circle) on the bar at bottom of the screen. That should show settings at the bottom.

Taskbar isn't part of the stock launcher, it's part of SystemUI/framework - so it is still there and usable when using a different launcher.

I set the taskbar to hide. Just right click on it and select hide. Then it only appears when your pointer is over it. If you look at the last screenshot you can see the taskbar.

just in case you have done a backup before you can try this:
go in recovery mode, backup and restore/advanced restore/choose the backup/restore system..... that should fix
otherways if you don't have a backup done you can load the same deodex rom on your external/sd and then go on recovery.....

for that purpose he can use "android injector" to install any launcher, after that he can switch to that launcher and install/reinstall/uninstall apex
Tried Android Injector for the same problem, fails to load new launcher every time. Thanks anyway for the suggestion though

The problem was bad (or improperly upgraded?) saved data in the launcher app. Here's how I fixed it.
At the dialog above, press "Report"
When in the report screen, drag down the notification bar at the top of the screen.
Press the settings button in the upper left of the notifications area.
Tap "Apps", then "All", then Apex find Launcher in the list. Tap Apex Launcher.

You lose your home screen customizations, but at least the phone now works again.

Same here, after the update today (09/24) Apex launcher froze. Since I had another launcher no issue with phone's operation.
Is clearing the data only option? or is there any issue with the latest update?

you can enter the settings using the drag-down menu and then uninstall updates to the launcher

This is the only thing that worked for me. Uninstall updates. It seems that the new version of Apex Launcher (v1.2.5) constantly crashes. Hopefully v1.2.6 comes out soon!
Looks like an issue across the board, I'm still stuck.. All users have reported the issue in the Play storelink

Who knows how long but at least they know. I'm gonna keep my settings for now and suffer with my uncustomized Go or TW or whatever for now. Hopefully it wont be long. Nice beta testing huh.....

Apex Launcher is back, dev has done a great job in bring it back in a day!! Go ahead and grab the latest version and enjoy the launcher.
I installed Nova launcher to get my phone working. And to be honest, I think I stick with it for a while. Multi select app to put them on a page or create a map is very easy.
Maybe it is also possible with Apex, but it have not found it.
I use Nova Launcher as my launcher and recently tried using widget locker in place of the sony lockscreen. However, one issue I ran into is that I am unable to change the lockscreen wallpaper.
Anyone else using the app having similar issues?
Thanks in advance:good:

I am facing the same problem even with stock launcher. Older version of WidgetLocker, namely 2.3.2r1, works fine on my Sony Tablet Z SGP-321 on Android 4.4. But all the new versions do not set lockscreen wallpaper. When I click "Look & Feel", "Select Wallpaper", choose the wallpaper I want, but then nothing happens, and the screen returns to WidgetLocker settings without having changed the lockscreen wallpaper. I do not understand what the issue is. If some one could advise, that would be nice!

I tried all that (deleting data and cache and even factory reset) and it wouldn't work, drove me crazy.
Am on a SM-T525 and without widget locker I had two different wallpapers for home and lock screen, while widget locker always took the set system home wallpaper, totally ignoring the alternate wallpaper flag.
I used root explorer and manually put my lock screen wallpaper in data\data\com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker\files\wallpaper.png and now it works.
Make sure it has the right dimensions (in my case 2500x1600) and the naming is right (so wallpaper.png and not Wallpaper.png).
Can't believe this is the only way to do this actually but am happy for now.
Good luck!

Mmm... Did you delete all cache? Also resetting other apps that might still have settings towards the wallpaper (like other launchers) to default?
And then disable and re-enable widgetlocker must work. I am on 4.4.2 myself with latest Widgetlocker

How exactly should I clear cache and/or data? For WidgetLocket I can clear cache and data.Should I clear both?
As for launcher I am using Nova Launcher. There I can clear cache, data and defaults. I assume if I clear data I will loose all the setting, i.e. screens layout, and I don't want to do that.
Here are the steps I take:
1. Turn off WL
2. Clear its cache AND data
3. Put wallpaper.png into the folder you told me
4. Launch WL (I see my current homescreen wallpaper and NOT the wallpaper.png)
5. Check "Alternative Wallpaper" (without actually clicking "Select Wallpaper")
6. Click home to return to homescreen.
7. Turn off screen.
When I wake the tablet up I still see my homescreen wallpaper and not the wallpaper.png.
Maybe I am doing something in a wrong sequence?
Another guess is the difference between your Sams GT and my Sony Tablet Z.

Hey
Am sorry it's such a drag, I felt very frustrated too (and still am, as it should work just all out of the box).
I would clear cache and data and then copy the file first, make sure it's correct and it's there and then disable and re-enable WL, as it reads that .png when it's re-activated.
Can I ask you, when you disable WL do you have a different lock and home screen? So via system settings just setting 2 different wallpapers for home and lock screen, are they different then?
Also, is your .png file ok, what I mean is does it show in Gallery if you select it? Sorry if I'm stating out the obvious
Personally I cleared cache via Application Manager and that should be enough, and yes, I also cleared WL data and had to reorganize all.
I don't know if op found the solution, but an older version of wl (2.3) worked for my Galaxy tab 2.

Yes. If I disable WL, I can set different wallpapers for lockscreen and home screen via system settings. The problem is that if you do it via system the wallpaper for lockscreen needs to be of very weird resolution as Google wants to use it both for landscape and portrait mode, while I just want it to be of 1920x1200 for landscape.
Also, is your .png file ok, what I mean is does it show in Gallery if you select it? Sorry if I'm stating out the obvious

Well, it doesn't open from data\data\com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker\files. But if I copy the file from there to my SD card - it shows in gallery as proper image.
In conclusion, I still don't manage to get WL to pick up wallpaper.png from data\data\com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker\files.
I've now updated to Android 4.4.4 and did factory reset. Damn thing still not setting alternative wp! ((
So since I use Nova on my Nexus and my Moto G, tried to install into a remix instance.
While it installed, when I tried to start Nova, I thought I saw a pop-up that said "no support for 3rd party launchers".
It also seemed as if it ignored the play store setting to not add icons to the desktop in the default launcher. That's kind of annoying.
Is there another setting buried somewhere?

At this point, an activity selection dialog should pop up, which should list (among other things) the new launcher you installed. Select it, and tap "Always" and Bob's your Uncle.

In remix os for PC this method does not work, I think you cannot use adb towards device you type on and on pre-installed emulator command 'block' is not found.
This works but I believe its disable/enable rather than block/unblock
Well, works-ish... you can switch to nova but there's no wallpaper and no G'now page.

Bummer ?
The gui way to do this would be to freeze Launcher and My Home with something like ROM Toolbox. Then run the Nova/Apex app and it'll become default - I think each launcher will behave differently - Apex seems to behaving properly for now, but the home button (circle) makes the launcher (- wallpaper) appear on top of running apps rather than minimising to 'desktop' == that's the downside of using non-stock launcher.
tl;dr freeze the stock laucher app(s) to use alternative, with stock circle button = home & minimise apps, with custom = launch home on top of apps.
Why not just use android-x86 builds instead if you just want a non-desktop interface

Remix + ZenUI The Perfect Combination
For me Remix is a great concept and makes large screen tablets with keyboards very usable. The notification pane, task bar and the ability to resize windows give Remix the edge on large screen devices. The killer is the lack of desktop widgets.
Having stumbled on the "no third party launcher" problem, I found this (and other) threads which helped no end. With a rooted device by far the simplest solution is to use a tool like TiBu (suggested in other posts) and just freeze Launcher 3 and My Desktop (or whatever that's called). After editing props to get wallpaper up and running, everything worked like a charm - a few extra tweaks to get rid of clashing gestures. Great!
I initially tried Nova - I am a long time user, but the one feature of Remix Launcher I like (no distinction between home and app drawer) is not available in Nova. Having recently acquired a new phone (UMI Super), I have been experimenting with new launchers and came across Zen UI. Nice minimalist launcher that suits my style of use very well. It has a "2 layer" and "1 layer" switch. 1 layer integrates the App Drawer into the home page. It also has smart folders and all sorts of other goodies. I had to tweak some stuff - turn off swipe down search gesture (part of Zen), set Zen to always start full screen. But nothing hard.
One comment - working out how to build folders in "1 layer" mode is a bit hit and miss. In the end I worked out to drag the app through the "app info" area then drop it on a folder to add the app to the folder. Do exactly the same to start a new folder, but drop the app on top of another app - both will then be in the folder.
Don't try and set up a layout in 2 plane mode expecting Zen to copy it as closely as it can when you switch to 1 plane. Zen just starts with a default layout again. Doh.
Now Remix and "1 Plane Zen" gives me the perfect combination. No separate app drawer and widgets on my home screen. And all the great features of Remix. Reaching for Nirvana...
I used the SD Maid technique, used it to freeze the default home app, etc. so far, so good. using Nova launcher Prime at the moment. live wallpaper and all.....
Try Line Launcher. Good oneand is free.
Had desktop like launcher then when I turned it on now it has launcher 3.

FYI if you run the following command in ADB setting a 3rd party launcher as the default, it will switch back to Gesture Nav.

On my S10+ there was a weird navigation bug using the adv command to enable gestures. Do you experience anything different on the S20?
There is a quick flash that makes the multi task view show for a fraction of a second, but it is super quick and totally bearable.
I love you. Super needed this.
Is there anyway to have this continue after a reboot? It seems to stop working after one.
Yeah worked for me as well - seems like a little lag but overall bearable.

One handed operation app is awesome. I use it too.
What I am looking for, personally, is way to have a similar task switcher like Android 10 default in junction with this. I super hate the 3 button layout but I want the Google feed so I had to swap to a new launcher.
"Vivid NG" app is all you need
So I enabled Onehanded Operation+, and when I set Nova as my default launcher, it still seems to want to use the other navigation buttons along with Onehanded Operation+ . Is there a way to only use Onehanded Operation+ and hide or disable the system navigation?

Did you try installing some other new launcher and try to click home button which should ask what launcher to use, there you can see check box always use the same launcher.

Yes, I did. When I then click the home button it asks me whether I want to set the new launcher as standard launcher - so far ok. When I then click yes, then I get the screen with "standard home app" saying "no app"

Very strange,
Can you try installing QuickHomeSwitcher and see if it shows other launchers for you to select.

FYI: There are many home screen switcher apps available few are virus too thats why sharing link which I installed and tested.

Thank you, I tried the app, but whenever I open it, it's not going to open but switches immediately to the first screen (Homescreen) of the oppo Reno standard launcher.
What I do now is, I start my favorite launcher and it runs like a normal app. To keep it open, I always have to switch back to it in the recent app list. When I end/kill it, then of course I get the standard launcher Homescreen back.
Very strange for me too, I have been working with many smartphones yet, also rooting and flashing things forwards and backwards but not yet encountered a problem like this
Enclosed a picture of my given default app list where Homescreen is simply missing
did you tap on the 'build number' to open up developer mode, aka unlocked boot loader ?

Yes, I did.
I have the same problem. Reno 3 PRO bought in China
i have the same problem but i remember when i received it i could choose the default app to open word excel and pdf files then i did the latest update which is PCRM00_11_A.29_6423cd33 and now i can choose the defaut for message, phone, browser, camera, photos, music and video that all
kernel 4.19.81
I wonder if the problem is not from the last update

I recently got the Reno 3 Pro. Great phone so far.
When I installed my favorite launcher, I found out, that there is no possibility to set/keep it as standard.
In app management>default app the content for Homescreen is missing ....
Got the latest ColorOS update.

it's really weird, i managed to add the line for the pdf when installing mixplorer but not for the homescreen. I sent an email to the assistance of my country I will see if they have a solution although the phone is not for my region.

Yes, I did, doesn't work either, so I live with this situation, I am sick of trying around. Still very good phone, the real big thing I am missing is the possibility to unlock and use/install custom roms
