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.

Strange, I have the home screen option in default app settings as attached.
I would suggest install some other launcher and click home, it will ask you to choose which should be default as checkbox, choose your fav launcher and uninstall the other launcher.

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

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

Didn't work in my case...
BUT!:
When i use an icon on the desktop or in notification bar, it works. But i have combined it with a swype option in Go Launcher Ex. When i swype up, the App is launched, the screen turns off, 2 seconds after that, he turns on again and [email protected]
So i dont think its a GoLauncher Problem, hm?
Edit:
Tried to connect a minimalistic text widget with screenlockanddonate.main activity. Same result

That's strange!
I just installed the GO Launcher EX using default settings and without any theme on my Nexus S, everything is fine. Also, I tried to use minimalistic text widget to launch Screen Off and Lock and found no problem. However, you use select "com.katecca.screenlockanddonate.MainHelper" instead of "com.katecca.screenlockanddonate.main", otherwise force close is expected.
It is also fine by using gesture in my ADWLauncher. So if you are free, could you please try to install other launchers to test it or send me the log using catlog for debugging?
Thanks a lot!

In Go Launcher Ex i can only select the whole App. There it crashes.
In MinimalisticText i can select an Activity of an App. When i use MainHelper instead of Main, everything is fine.
So it's fixed and working with minimalisticText, which is ok for me.
I will talk to GoLauncher Devs to make activities selectable.
Thanks man!

tap and hold on the home screen and pick the shortcut of the application if you are having samsung based rom, if on MIUI all the shortcuts are already on the home screen
Edit : you are talking about downloaded apps? not found yet in samasung, in HTC sence it is there sorted seperately....system & dowloaded
of course the downloaded apps
maybe some tweaker here finds a way

Hi,
When ever I turn my phone on, I always get:
"Unfortunately, Apex Launcher has stopped"
What could be causing this?
use android injector from your pc to install any other additional launcher. clear cache and data of apex
Or you can uninstall and reinstall apex launcher again.

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.....
hope this will help you

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

not to necro, but heres an easy fix
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.
Tap "Clear Data".
You lose your home screen customizations, but at least the phone now works again.
you can also just choose to uninstall it

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?
Clear data didn't help me after today's problem.. seems to me that there's a problem with this certain update
you can enter the settings using the drag-down menu and then uninstall updates to the launcher
you lose your settings and home screen..
I had backups for them so just restored them and it's working again
hopefully they'll fix it soon
same here
on Droid X ICS Gummy
Updated launcher today...
Had to uninstall the update
all better now
Thx

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
From s3forums:
"The Dev has been contacted and a fix in progress"
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.....
Ver:1.3.1 working great

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 don't quite understand your question. Do you want to put Google camera at your homescreen? or do you want to just change the icon of the Google camera?
Well if you want to do the first one, then you just have to drag and drop the icon at your homescreen, and if you want to do the latter one then you should install a third party launcher.

Hello Digigoon,
I would like to do the same as iMaxime.
We do not want to change icon in HOME screen, we would like to change application triggered by LOCK screen icon.
That is... we may not be able to have the fast picture feature in-build in Honor camera app, but we would be able to launch the third-party camera app from the lock screen. May be more complicated than that, but could you please help us? Is this even possible?
Cordially,
Xavi

As far as I know, you can't do that with stock ROM (or any that isnt customizable on that way). You'll need to download a launcher or an app do costumize your lockscreen

You may try and freeze the native camera app and install the app you want. If there is no FC, then any shortcut will lead to Google Camera as it will be assumed as the default (only) camera app.
I´ve removed myself some useless system apps and some others just can´t be removed. Never tried camera.
Settings > Apps > Advanced > Default App Settings > Camera.
If you change it from there, doesn't it get changed from the lock screen?

You can use a method described by Paul O'Brian but you will have to dig for it a bit.
I don't recall specifically but he used something like
pm.hide.something
To hide the native app and use the one you want. After that, it will use your custom app.
Tag him in the post and he can clarify more.
Coming from a Nexus 6p with Nova Launcher, I've found it frustrating to use EMUI, especially the inability to hide apps - mainly the bloatware that are installed.
Is therea any way to have a folder for "junk"?

I thought a "zoom out" was the inverse method to pinch in,which brings up your settings to the EMUI page (Wallpaper, Widgets, transitions, settings etc)?
When I do the opposite zoome out, nothing happens - am I making a school boy error here?

Yes it's the inverse at pinch (sorry for my bad English)
Did you reboot the phone?
Because it works for sure with this app.
It was a feature of precedent emui but it still works on emui 8.
It's just desactivated by default on emui 8 and this app activate it again
You have to do the exact opposite with your finger that which brings settings of emui page

I also have a Mate 10. This works for me, but only in "Standard" not "Drawer" style homescreen. I have not found a way to hide apps in the drawer using stock launcher.
Same here with Honor 9 and emiui 8, zoom out-->home settings, zoom in--->nothing :/
I can confirm that the hidden apps folder works on EMUI 8.1 on P20 Pro but only in Standard homescreen mode, but not in Drawer mode.
