No 3rd Party Launcher on EMUI 9? - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi,
can anyone who already might have the phone check, if it is possible to install Nova Launcher? In this thread it seems like huawei removed the ability. Thx!

You can still install and use Nova, but there are some bugs with gesture navigation. No problem if you use traditional nav bar.
See demonstration:

i saw another video with smooth working nova launcher
but it also seems that huawei offers a seperated app drawer in emui9, so maybe there is no more need for nova...?

yeah thats' the case for a while now. but i don't like the old fashioned way they implemented it. you know with the separate button to launch the drawer. it would be much more consistent if they do it like google does with the swipe to open the drawer.

The main problem with nova+emui 9 gesture is an animation glitch when going to homescreen. Installing fluid gestures solved that problem 90% of the time, still around 10% chance the glitch happens on my phone, but it doesn't bother me too much.
Another problem is blue tint in task switch screen and its crappy UI design (you can't touch the left or right card and go to that app directly, and it's difficult to stop at the right card), but i guess that's related to nova, not with gestures. It's annoying but still I can live with.
If you use the international rom. that's all you need to worry about.
If you use the Chinese rom version, 3rd party launcher is banned. If you bypass that ban by disabling emui launcher with adb, gestures will become unusable. Fluid gestures won't fix that problem. So you have to pick between using gestures or using 3rd party launcher, not both.

Ok , ive Solved with One plus gestures (that ive paid) and Hide nav bar.
I ve used and adb command and now It works perfectly with Nova Launcher.
Im using a European version of mate 20 x.
No notification sleeping or other problems tipicals of the Cina version.
Ive bought It on Amazon Spain

If you are using Nova launcher, especially the beta, mine updated about an hour ago and now it keeps crashing and I can't get a debug, it says cancel or uninstall then sends you back to the default launcher.

I am also using nova launcher beta and updated today. No problems here at all.

I am also using nova beta and also did the update. No problems with this update.

Navigation Gestures XDA on Tab S4

Hello,
I bought this tablet recently and i have a bit difficulty on navigation with default bar on big screen.
Anyone has installed other navigation bars type of XDA gestures or Fluid navigation gestures?
Thanks.
Hi, yes I have installed navigation gestures by XDA on my Galaxy Tab S4 WiFi and it works perfect

GMD Gesture is much more powerful than this one. You can do more things, you can draw your own gesture, and you can use gesture to pop-up a floating dock (which is fully cutomizable)
I mean you can do literally whatever you want with gestures (and it's not a battery drainer.)
And most important: you can do "real" gestures, I mean gesture anywhere on screen. Other apps are edge gestures only..

if my years of experience using android has taught me anything, it is that the first thing to look at when contemplating installing an app (let alone purchasing it) is to look at the date last updated.
in the case of GMD Gesture, it has been well over a year since the last update.
and then if you sort feedback by newest, you'll see people complaining about lack of updates and not working on phones released since the last update

I just said it was the best gesture app with root. And it is.. faaaar away from the others! But I don't kow if it works on Tab S4 because mine is not rooted, I'd rather wait until it is no longer under warranty to do so. I'm using Fluid Navigation Gesture. Not as good because you can't do real gestures but it's enough for me.
Else, if my own years of experience using android has taught me anything, is that people complain about everything, even if they don't know how to use the app!
- They can complain about the lack of updates even if the app doesn't need some,
- I'm pretty sure that those complain about the app just don't know how it works( or don't even have a rooted phone!). This app is like Nova Launcher, packed with so many options and features that you need some time to fully get it.
- About updates, there is no need for new functionnalities because there is already EVERYTHING in the app. You can't litterally add more options !
Anyway, it's a paid app and you can spend a few time with the app and be refund if you're not happy with it! FYI, it worked perfectly with Tab S3! It's OREO compatible so it should work (you can set options for your device manually in case it's not supported)
I'd love to have the gesture pinch with 4 finger to go on home (like iPad), any of the app that you are using do this?
Ps I'm not rooted

Root does not void you warranty. Trying to repair/opening your tablet doesn't void warranty by itself.

I didn't know that. I checked and figured out that you are right.
But at the end, I think Samsung doesn't care and do whatever they want. Few months ago, they refused to repair my Tab S3 which was under the EU 2 years warranty because it has already been repaired before!

EMUI9 new gesture + alternate launcher

Hi,
i tried the new gesture navigation on EMUI9. It works but the return to home gesture go briefly to task manager before showing home.
did someone manage to avoid this? I'm on stock phone, no root or whatever..
Tried action launcher or nova without success
thank you
Yeah i avoided that by not using gesture. Its really a joke how it works

Fluid NG is the answer.

works great with any launcher (I tested with Nova and Action Launcher 5), and its free.
Pro version is not expensive if you need to tweak the setting.

Thank god its android. We can just switch to other solution, or stay with the default one. Having options is good.
Navigation gestures app from xda is pretty nice.

Works after adb commands pretty well. But yeah Huawei should just fix their ****. Sometimes I don't know why they beta test their firmware. It seems that they don't fix any things from the beta firmware.

Ram management on EMUI 9 is horrible when using nova launcher. Any fix?

If I use the stock Huawei home launcher, all my apps will stay open with no issues, but when using nova launcher, my apps constantly restart. Has a fix been discovered yet? I've read on Reddit that it's a common issue but haven't read about a fix.

I noticed that too. Much better ram management on stock launcher. Also on 3rd party launchers you can notice a blue tint on the app switcher and you can't tap the apps on the edges,only the middle one.
Huawei wants to stop using custom launchers, maybe it's a trick to get most users back to stock launcher.
other than not being able to expand over 5x5 grid i dont see any reason why anyone would wanna change from stock launcher to something else...specially when you can put material icons on stock launcher .... if you are facing issues with other launchers why go there.
on nova may be pull notification down gesture is good other gestures are helpful as well.....
oh and the battery usage on stock launcher is so minimal.... as compared to every other launcher out there.

Don't like the fact that I can't disable HiSearch and doesn't have a swipe down gesture to reveal the notification bar.

Had the same issue after updating to emui9, and using Nova launcher.
Only fix I've found is disabling Huawei launcher with adb.
My free ram was dropping down to 600mb and apps kept reloading when switching.
You also get back the old vertical scrolling recent apps.
Now ram stays the same as it was on Oreo around 2.5gb free, and apps stay in memory.

I have the same problem, my temporal solution is going to apps, search for Huawei Home and stop it. After stopping it, it will free a lot of memory, free memory will go up from 600MB to 3.2GB. I am doing it once every 2 days and I am not having any more app closing by themselves.
I should disable the app as it is recommended, but I do not have access to a computer at this moment to run the ADB commands.

New Update: 9.0.0.183 (Nova Launcher Compatibility fixed?)

I have disabled the stock launcher since I installed Nova Launcher for my Huawei Mate 20 Pro. After updating to 9.0.0.183, the animations seem to be working fine already.
Anybody else have the same experience?

I just disabled the Launcher. It's working fine now after updating to 9.0.0.183
The only thing that's annoying me now is the front facing camera's stubborn beauty mode that cannot be disabled.
I have loaded the update 182 (yes 182 not 183) from funky Huawei about two weeks ago and that has fixed the one minor issue I've had with Nova Launcher.
It has been working perfectly fine since then.
My only issue now is that the Nova Launcher support has sent me an angry reply to my request because I own a Mate 20 Pro.
Those guys are pretty angry because of the accusations of Huawei intentionally sabotaging them.

you dont understand... can you install newest pixel or lawnchair launcher and set it as default, and give all permissions (and since you disabled the launcher you have to use the navkeys right? ) then reboot.... and look if the new pie gesture ui kicks in.... the recent overview and pill navbar.
get the. apk from xda or apk mirror
because the launcher is responsible for the navigation gestures in android P.
realy hate the emui gestures and wish to use stock android P gestures
this will take max 15min. of your time but help me forever.

No it works like stock launcher
The gesture navigation works ALMOST perfectly with nova launcher. This is the best I could ask for. But just let me point out some scenarios that it stutters a little bit.
1. The animation when close an app is gone. You can't see the app fading into its position on the home page.
2. The gestures are a bit more sensitive on nova than stock EMUI. For example, swipe up and hold for recent apps. On EMUI launcher, it is about 0.5 seconds. However on nova, it is more like 0.3. Thus I often hold for too long and end up on recent apps instead of home page.
3. Under some special circumstances, the background picture for recent apps screen is the previous app you used. It looks extremely weird. I didn't manage to get a SS of it. Will upload once it happens again.
Having said all of that. I feel this 183 update improved the gestures navigation by a huge leap! Just need time to get use to it.

Nova vs OneUI

No native app launcher has ever given me so much doubt before, I usually went straight to Nova, but OneUI can replace Nova + Sesame(both paid) in most occasions, and it looks really good and seamless.
Any performance/benefits difference you noticed besides Nova's typical customization?

Nova vs OneUI, You can see how many frames OneUI drops because of that blur effect, I'd say the case is closed until it gets improved.

I stay with Nova for vertical scrolling in the app drawer and swipe left to Google. During the Pie beta program many of us asked for vertical scrolling but they didn't listen.
Oneui doesn't hide apps... Other than that I feel like they're close
OneUI also supports this fancy UI customization tool made by Samsung called Good Lock that I recently discovered. I've tested it and it works perfectly with my S10+.
You can download it from the Samsung Store if you're in one of the few available regions, or you can just install the APK manually.

I doubt this is unique to the plus but there should be a option in the Home Screen settings to hide apps from the app drawer, unless you were referring to something else?

Nova works great with Good Lock also. Good lock was actually available in 2018, I used it with a S9 Plus. It was disabled during the Pie Beta,but was updated yesterday to work with the stable pie release & the s10 plus

With the latest Beta, Nova no longer needs TeslaUnread for notifications. There are choices for None, Dynamic badges, Dots, Numeric Dots, or TeslaUnread and they work well on my S9 running Pie. Google Discover has been added with a download of Nova Google Companion.

I agree. Nova mainly so I can have Google now.instead of Bixby home.
I would love to use icon packs system wide, my OCD strikes a bit when the icons on the Homescreen are different to them in menus, apps and mitli tasking view.
I was surprised how smooth one UI runs, I owned a Samsung smartphone years ago from work and it was very laggy. Now, this is my first Samsung, it's very smooth, but I would like more customization and never understood why manufacturers won't support icon packs natively.
On Huawei EMUI you're able to create an own theme with an app where the icons were enabled globally.
I'm currently using one ui. I also have rootless pixel launcher installed. I'm liking what they've done with one ui launcher. With package disabled pro I've frozen all of bixby except for bixby voice. That allows me to change the default bixby key to Google feed. You just select Google for the app and the feed opens right up with a tap of the bixby button. So even though it isn't a swipe from the left it is still a tap on the left for Google feed and one ui.
I tried to like the One UI, but ultimately it had to go. Using Nova mostly because of the google now feed.

I've downloaded it again and although they've moved Tesla unread into the main Nova menus you still need it, all that's changed is you can access it via NovaView attachment 4720038

It does not need Tesla. Your wrong. I uninstalled Tesla and mine works without it .. if you read the release notes it even states it's not required
