So i recently purchased the P8 lite as a substitute for my Z3 which is currently at Sony repair for a new display and I was very surprised about what I got for such a low price (169€ @mediamarkt). I always used Nova Launcher on my Z3 cuz I just really liked the UI of it and since Huawei UI isn't my cup of tea I decided to install Nova Launcher again. After manualy updating to Marshmallow (which is available as a beta) I wasn't able to set Nova as my default launcher. Since you're NEVER the only one with a problem on an android device, here is my contribution to our wonderful community!
It's actually quite easy...
1. Settings>Apps>Advanced>Default app settings>Launcher
2. Select your launcher!
If you use Google Now Launcher you need to have the Google App installed.
I faced this problem because my phone language was German and the translations aren't really appropriate.
For German people you can find the Setting here:
Einstellungen>Apps>Erweitert>Standard-App Einstellungen>Übersicht
I hope that this helps some people with the same device
A Thank you would be nice

Not sure if this is the right spot for this thread but here's hoping lol
Been running Nova Launcher for ages now on my old phone and on my Galaxy S7 Edge, phone with in for insurance claim couple weeks ago but shortly before that i found Nova was crashing at least 2-3 times a day, just got the new handset, restored backups etc and seems the same problem is occurring, guessing it's something to do with the way it's got an app laid out or something but no idea how to test this, does anyone have anything similar that they've fixed that might give me a heads up?
Current Android Version: 6.0.1, all the latest Samsung updates are installed, Nova Launcher Version: 4.6, Nova Launcher Prime Version: 4.8 if it helps at all
Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide insight
Probably a problem with the backup. Don't restore the backup. Start from scratch.

I am an avid Nova Launcher Prime 4.3.1 user. I did import my settings from my old phone (a Moto X2). I have not had any problems whatsoever with Nova crashing. However, one side-effect from the import was some of the launcher icons in the app drawer changed from the Samsung theme to the Motorola theme. (I don't remember all the icons which changed but one was the dialer icon.) This may be an argument for not using an import of your previous settings.
Hi there. Newbie over here, asking about themes.
I got this m3 just two days ago. I got me Honor 7 aswell. Very happy with both of them. Very fast, no lag etc...
Anyways, I noticed that with m3, I cant't get themes, like I do with honor7.
With honor I get these themes easily, just opening the theme app and simply picking up a theme I want. With m3 there is only 3 different integrated themes. There's no option to get same themes I'm able to get with honor 7?
I've installed the huawei id app, but still no solution.
Where or how I could get cool themes to m3?
Try Hwthemes pro on Google Play.

Tried that, didn't like it.. thx anyway! Just wondering why I can't acceses same themes, I get with honor 7? Does anyone know how I could get those same themes?:good:
Found huawei themes app from playstore. Pretty cool themes there. I think they are mainly for phones, but works with m3 aswell. Also included loads of diiferent fonts. Try it, if you like to change your tabs appearance.:good:

Hello.
I have a Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) and I use the Google Now Launcher. I rely on having the google app to the left of the main home screen for notifications about traffic, weather and news. I like having it there a lot. Today I noticed that it was no longer accessible from there.
I looked this up and it sounds like Google plan to discontinue the Google Now Launcher and replace it with the "Pixel Launcher". But naturally, my device is not supported by this new app.
I downloaded and installed this, and it seems like the Pixel Launcher (or something similar to it, nearly identical) works on my device now. It was very convenient to have because I do not want to Root my phone.
At first the side-panel Google app worked with this (bootleg?) Pixel Launcher, but after I was done customizing my home screens it stopped working. I checked all the options like "Google app to the left of main screen" and such things, and they didn't change anything. It only started working again when I re-booted the phone.
My question is: what made it stop? Can I still get the Google side-panel to open on the original Now launcher (with which I am more used)? I like the Pixel launcher but I prefer to use officially-supported apps so I can get updates for them, and I don't believe the one I downloaded (from the link above) will get any updates.
Any help would be appreciated.
Just downgrade to the old Google Now Launcher
So i've been reading for a bit and apparently there was an update that added an app drawer to Leeco phones (someone correct me if i'm wrong) but i can't find the system update option on my phone at all and i've looked everywhere.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
EDIT: Did some additional searching and it seems i have a shop rom (i have google apps and no system update option and zero chinese bloatware).
So for anyone that comes across this thread, you can't update unless you go through update.zip.
That's bad. I just got this phone and I was suprised that I don't have the bloatware launcher, but Google Now. Also I can't find any system updater in options. Seems like I have the same thing, which is both a plus and minus. And do you have a problem with custom launchers? Google Now is a poop and when I installed Lawnchair, I couldn't remove the last app I opened from the multitasking. Specifically it appeared in one "window" with the launcher so I couldn't "kick it out". I got back to Google Now, but I hate it. Do you have the same problem?
(Lol, such a long post)
Haven't actually tried a different launcher, i hear Nova is good though, it might be worth it to try.

Sorry for such a late reply. Finally moved to a custom launcher (Microsoft Launcher) and it has the same issue with the last app staying open. So i make sure to always keep the dialer/contacts app open as it seems like the least performance/battery heavy app to keep running. Annoying, but way way better than the launcher the phone came with that didn't even have an app drawer.
Is there the possibility to install Google Discover instead of Samsung Free on the S5E?
I'm on UI 3.1, apparently it is possible on some phones, but has the S5E been left out?
Cheers all!
Nova Launcher and the Nova Google Companion app.
