Replacing/removing standard launcher of MatePad Pro - Huawei MatePad Pro Questions & Answers

Hey guys,
I would like to use Nova Launcher respectively another launcher on my MatePad Pro instead of the stock one. Other launchers can be installed but EMUI 10.0.1 doesn't provide/display a possibility to activate alternative launchers.
Does anyone know a workaround for that?
Thanks in advance...

I have tried to do so for 2 years since having my Mediapad 5 pro, and then Matepad pro. So far no luck. Huawei has blocked it.

Thanks for the reply. Regarding a statement of Huawei support Germany it's blocked due to Chinsese EMUI of my Tablet. Either I have to find a solution on XDA or wait for the European firmware.

Do you have the Chinese version, including Chinese EMUI?
How did you manage to get that working?

Just instal any launcher you live, and than go to setting, apps, default app, default home apps, and set the new launcher as your default home app. Thats all

Google now launcher rotation

gratz... i guess?
whats the point of this post? are you trying to tell us there is a new update to the launcher? are you saying you modded/hacked the launcher itself or made an edit to the build.prop to enable it? or have you simply used the search function and are telling us that procedures that are described in other (device-)forums/threads work for the 5x as well?
just wondering since in my opinion this is an option that would certainly make the experience with the 5x a little more fluent without using a third party launcher.
There was an update to the launcher and its the most glorious day of my ****ing life. Lonmg have i awaited the landscape mode in the google now launcher
Your welcome F.....s
What is the launcher version? I have 1.3.large and it tells me it's the latest. No rotation here..

from what i could find, it's actually not an update to the launcher, but rather the google app through which the launcher settings are managed.
my version (without landscape) is 5.7.14.19.arm64, the latest slowly being rolled out is 5.8.47.19.arm64.
could be wrong though.
anyway, my actual launcher version is the same as yours, and as far as i can see there were no updates of that pushed to the playstore. oh the waiting game.

Yeah makes sense, my Google app version is 5.7.14.19.arm64 as well. Now we wait.

since i was bored anyway: apkmirror.com
oh that's cool, i wasn't aware they finally allowed this.
Been using Nova but I'll enable it on my SOs phone
Thank you and Google ! I was looking for this feature for ages :laugh:
Easier way to get rotation is to become a Google tester. The version that it will allow you to download has the allow rotation option.

Lag in Pixel launcher Google page

hey guyz, did anyone noticed lag while opening google feed page in pixel launcher? i felt lag everytime i swipe right on the pixel launcher to go to the google page. can anyone fix it?
it wasnt in oreo but yup noticed it when i switched to the beta builds
It lags in every ROM I have tried
I have the same problem on beta 5
lag on all Beta Versions
Yes ! It was still manageable and didn't catch my attention with the previous beta versions but with OB5, it's way too laggy.
No problem, cr droid, flash kernel, ruthless pixel launcher (magisk module)
YEs I have the same Lag also, trying to install rootless pixel launcher and I have that terrible Lag, only in beta version. Could you try uninstalling one plus launcher app, if that helps ???

This lag is specific to OOS and not android. The lag doesn't exist on AOSP 8.1 roms.
Any news about a fix ?
Still having the issue, same with Nova Launcher with Google Now integration... please help
I'm on OP5T, OxygenOS 5.1.0
5.0.1 have the same issue! On a Stable Build ?

Yes, that's the saddest thing.. I was waiting for a stable release ??
So I shouldnt update to 8.1 then
I have the same issue.. Now I'm forced to use OnePlus' launcher instead od Nova (pro), because it doesnt work as it should after update to Oxygen 5.1.
Same here.... Is it the same after a clean install?
I contacted One Plus support, they told me to hard reset... but it's not fixing anything! Can anyone try too ?
Same problem even after Factory reset...

pixel launcher

Why pixel launcher is not supported in Moto one power?! I searched for the answer n i din get it..the launchers - ruthless,lean,lawnchair,rootless are can install on this device but not that pixel bridge for google feed! Do reply.thanks!
Coz it's Android One! You need root for installing Lawnchair 2 + Quick Step. It has that Google Feed.
Install moto app launcher update first and install pixel launcher. Work fine for me.
Hi. I am a hardcore Samsung galaxy s series fan. Was using only S series all the time. Moto one power is my first other brand mobile just bought it for battery and Android one. Now my problem is I am missing so many features of Samsung One UI. Infact I'm a big fan of samsung's user interface. Can anyone port the S9 or S10 UI to Moto one power? It ll b a very good experience I feel. Thanks in advance.

Question OnePlus Launcher

Maybe I didn't search hard enough, but anyone know if it's possible to install the OnePlus launcher on the Pixel 6 Pro? I successfully installed, but it refused to load, even one install that was reported to work on any Android phone. I'm using ProtonAOSP with gapps.
I bought a Pixel 6 Pro out of love for its superior night camera which is fabulous for catching northern lights here in Alaska, but I absolutely love the OxygenOS launcher on my OnePlus 8 Pro. It's a weird request, I know.
All I have to say is,"why?"
Coming from One+ and Samsung..... All users flash roms to come to a Pixel UI and you want a OP launcher on a Pixel? I'm stumped
I'd recommend Nova7 as it's a better fit for phones than OP launcher.
If it's a tinkering matter I totally understand,but, OP on Pixel?
You can also try lawnchair launcher 12. I was missing a few things after moving from 1+ 8 pro to P6 but lawnchair did the trick for me. Basically a pixel launcher with some more customization.

Which features exactly are you looking for?
There are several available launchers on a Pixel, I can't think of any feature set that OP has that is not available, since you can customize about anything, including icons and how animations/gestures work.
As others have said. What's the point?
Anyway, installing the APK will not be sufficient as the OnePlus launcher also relies on a number of native libraries.
You will need figure out exactly which libraries and make them available in /system/lib(64) via a Magisk module.
Too much hassle for what ...
Specifically, I really like this one touch close all apps button. It's a good visual decluttering for me versus memory issue. If I feel overwhelmed by everything I have open, tap the one button and it all feels clean again.

I'll give it a look.
Closing the apps in that way is not recommended and actually worsens battery use. Doesn't do anything for memory use either really as the phone has plenty and manages it well enough. This is why it has been gotten rid of in later versions of Android.

And if you're rooted with lawn chair just use quick switch in magisk and you'll have all you need.

Eh, I charge it enough. It really is more of a psychological visual decluttering for me. I know, it's really best to let Android manage your open apps.

forum.xda-developers.com
I remember using this on my pixel 2xl. Hasn't been updated in a minute though but it will do the job
One thing i like most about One plus launcher is to hide apps with fingerprint.
Left swipe to reveal but with fingerprint.
Is there any launcher which has this feature?
Check out Ruthless Launcher
Google Play Link
It has a clear all button on the left most page of the app switcher.
Also has app locker function with fingerprint unlock.
Dev is really responsive on Telegram and the app receives frequent updates.
It's customisable - app icons support, grid options etc, loads of features including At-A-Glance and Google Feed etc. Been using it for a few years now.

Question Alternative to Google dialer and message

I tried to get used to Google dialer and message apps since the oos12 update but I really can't, is there any way to get the color os or oxygen is dialer and message app to work? Or a decent alternative to gapps?
Thank you
I use ColorOS global. I have all that stupid google removed from Oxygen OS.
Or on OnePlus forum/community you can find Oneplus dialer/message/phone app. I guess that works on A12.

I'm very interested in doing this. How did you strip out Google apps etc?
I mean that all beautifull gestures/apps that are missing from OxygenOS (removed/replaced by BS google) are in colorOS.
You should try True Phone. Definitely perfect dialer app with lots of customization capabilities.
True Phone Dialer
