Help Needed !!! Default launcher - Huawei Ascend G7 Questions & Answers

I have been using new Huawei Ascend G7 for a few days now and there is a very annoying problem with default launcher.
I've installed and tried Google Now Launcher, Nova Launcher and few others but this phone reverts back to EMIUI default launcher every time I restart the phone.
I have changed it in default apps in settings but it just forces default again after every restart or turn off/on.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
My G7 runs Huawei OTA EU 5.1.1 Android and it is not rooted or unlocked. Just plain sim free phone.
Thanx

Nova default launcher

I have the same problem on my G7 with Android 5.1.1.

i had same problem. After i rooted with King Root, never happened again. I dont know, i didnt changed anything but it works. Exactly im turning off my G7 every night and leaving to charge. When i turn on it back my custom launcher appears (Line Launcher). If rooting ok for you, you can try rooting.

Home Screen Bounce Back Issue ?

Hi everyone,
I'm sorry for opening another thread of this issue but search is out of service now on XDA. My Nexus 7 have bounce back issue. It's rooted and has custom recovery.
What is the easiest way to resolve this issue ? I love stock 4.1.2 Google rom very much but bounce back issue is killing me. I can flash new kernels and edit files if i have to.
Thanks
I'm on stock rom, rooted, 4.2.1 and I don't have a 'bounce back' issue. What does that mean? Have you tried 4.2.1? It is working perfectly for me.
I think Nova or Apex launchers both have fixes for that problem.
I'm on Nova and the latest version doesn't do that anymore.
I'm on nova running cm10.1 and it seems to have cleared it up for me. I did have it though. Sooooo annoying. With custom ROMs android would be dead IMO

Im on stock rooted 4.2.2 and the notification pull down is fixed now but still have home screen bounce back (even on nova launcher) anyone got any ideas? Its very annoying, this would likely be something to do with kernel not rom?

[Q] S4 Not remembering default launcher on start or SU binary

Hello! On my S4 i337, It does not remember the default launcher on startup and is beginning to inconvenience me. Any ideas on how to make it remember that choice?
P.S. When I restart it, I need to update the SU binary every time. This is also getting annoying.

Same problem for default launcher never remembered on S4. (TSF Shell). No problem for SU.
EDIT: For me this is a firmware bug. Any MEA stock or MF3 based firmware solve this bug. Any <MEA firmware have the default launcher not remembered bug.

What root procedure did you use? Also, what launcher are we talking about? As far as the launcher, clear the cache for the launcher in application, in settings, it should clear problem the launcher.
It should after that ask to make it the default, if not, snag apex or nova from market and install, it will ask them, choose TW as the default.

[Q] Hide apps in drawer is removed after updating to 4.4.2 (KitKat)

I really love the TouchWiz launcher. But i miss to hide my apps in drawer. Is there a way to get 4.3 launcher to 4.4.2, or a mod that can fix it for me?
I've tried the 4.3 launcher with 4.4.2 but it gives FC
yep. that was what I first noticed with the update. try putting them into folders.
cheers ~
This really isn't good enough! WTF is Samsung thinking? There should be no reason for removing this functionality? It seems to also be something built within the firmware; it is not launcher related in otherwords, I found this out because when I was running Android 4.3 I had flashed an update to run the S5 launcher and icons theme. When I did this I was still able to hit the menu button and select apps that I wanted to hide. Since upgrading to Kitkat I noticed as you did that I was no longer able to do this, that was ok I just thought to myself "No problem I will just flash the launcher upgrade and theme for S5 on my S3 as I did before and that should allow me to unlock this functionality" NOT CAN DO! Both the stock Kitkat launcher and the S5 theme upgrade do not unlock this functionality unfortunately Someone is going to have to find out where the issue lies and try to port it back? If I find the answer I will make sure I post back here with a fix.

Download the s5 launcher from one of our threads. Flash it. And you have the hidr feature again.
Or just install a 3rd part touchwiz launcher themed app..you have that function
Mi launcher..nova..apex..go...any if these launchers do provide this function
Press Thanks if I helped

Custom Launcher Problem after lollipop update

Custom launchers doesn't even start on my note 3 anymore after lollipop update. Anyone has such problem and possibly a working solution? Just after I start Nova launcher, i have a message "Nova Launcher is stopped". It's the same with Apex launcher as well. I'm using pro version on both launchers.

Uninstall them. Clean your phone and maybe cache too. Try again. With no restore of settings.

I've cleared cache and data of the apps and uninstalled them. Then i reinstalled them from the Play Store. It's still the same. I started thinking if nobody else is having the same problem after lollipop update maybe it's something about my rom installation.
Problems like that after an update usually require a factory reset to fix.
I've done a factory reset and flashed the lollipop rom through Odin again and it's still the same. I can't use custom launchers after lollipop update
If this is happening on Stock Lollipop ROM then you probably are on your own, cause I haven't seen a single person mentioning a problem like this. Nova Prime works flawlessly on my phone, as it should, which is on LP obviously.
Yeah I am on stock lollipop rom. I started thinking maybe the problem occurs because of memory leak issues of lollipop. Since there's no sign of Samsung to upgrade note 3 to Android 5.1 I will consider flashing a custom rom which is built on 5.1 if I can find any on xda.

navbar glitch when changing launcher

hi, whenever i change huawei home with any different launcher ( i tried many) my navbar keeps turning black then it return transparent every i time i unlock my phone, is that normal? is there any workaround?
I have same glitch so probably its common.Soetimes even on stock launcher (1 of 10) i have same glitch especially with bright wallpaper.
Im using Nova Launcher Prime and I don't experience this problem. Maybe its a bug. You could try flashing the standard firmware, maybe an updated one if possible. Im not an expert about this kind of stuff but flashing stock firmware shouldn't harm your device.
