Mastering Huawei Home Launcher - Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

Mastering Huawei Home Launcher​Hauwei Home has more features than your average stock launcher. I'm going to show you some of the best ways to customize and get the most out of this launcher.
Wallpaper
There are a few additional settings you can mess with when picking your wallpaper. Press and hold your homescreen and choose wallpaper. Here you'll be able to adjust the blurriness of your wallpaper as well as choose weather or not it's scrollable.
Enable "Shake to Change Wallpaper" in your display settings.

​
App Drawer
Be default, EMUI doesn't have an app drawer. All of the apps are stored on pages of your homesceen. There is an easy way to fix this. You can fit up to five icons in your quick launch menu. We will use the center icon as our app drawer shortcut. Download App Drawer from the Play store and drag the shortcut to the center slot.
​
Themes
For themes, you have four stock options to choose from. Themes can also be imported from the Play store or other external sources. Check out Stockify to change your icons to the stock Android look.
​
Transitions
Change the animations when scrolling through your homescreen pages by pressing the homescreen and choosing "Transitions". There are eight different animations to choose from.
​
Home Layout
Change your app grid by adjusting your home layout. Press and hold on your homescreen and choose "more options". You can choose between 4x5 5x4 or 5x5.
​

That app drawer app is great, but I prefer a 3rd party launcher if possible

I used to have a stock Android phone (Nexus 4) and now I have an Honor 7 with EMUI. I was thinking about "stockifying" my Honor but I gave a chance to the EMUI and the truth is that I really start to like.
The app drawer in particular makes me more consciente of the apps I have so I keep my phone clean and without "one-time used apps" that just get my memory full.
But I understand why people can dislike it. But that's the good thing in Android, if you don't like it, you can change it (at least most of the things....)

everything is better than stock launcher

Saw a video of EMUI 5 on Huawei P9. Looking good. Hoping to get that soon for our devices for a good feel.

I wish EMUI 5 final version will better from what we saw on the beta

I'm a long time Nova launcher user now on Smart Launcher 3. I have the pro version but it seems quite good so far.

Nova is the best for customization, but since I'm a stock android fanatic, I have pixel launcher

If I use Nova on this phone, will Nova give me an app drawer, or do I need another app drawer app as well ?

You'll get app drawer with Nova.

ADW or LauncherPro

Been looking a ADW over @ modaco!
Now we've got 2.1, anyone here tried Launcherpro?
I've tried both.
Launcher Pro is very slick however you are stuck with 4 x 4 icons as far as I can tell.
ADW you can put more icons on the screen and can also lock it into portrait by using the persistence option, so that's what I use now (even though I'd previously paid for Launcher Pro on my last phone, d'oh).
Been messing with ADW over the last hour, I've got so much more screen space, i'm not sure what to do with it all
Also sorted my fancy widget, which 2.1 really screwed up.

Can you guys export your adw settings regards to icons nd widgets? I've been trying but cant seem to get it right. Looks aweful.
Sent from my Dell Streak using Tapatalk
I've tried ADW after reading this and it looks like it has real potential but I have a daft question. How do you add icons to the desktop? I've tried dragging them from the drawer as per the stock launcher but they just disappear and I've tried creating shortcuts but that just seems to launch the app.
Toute, if holding your finger on the screen and choosing shortcut -then application-then choose app- launches the app then some thing is wrong and I recommend reinstalling adw
It should work in the same way as the standard launcher, except dragging from the app menu-which has never worked for me

See, I told you it was a daft question, many thanks Fazziebear
When in ADW in landscape look to the right side of screen you should see a vertical bar with two shortcut icons and what looks like a grid.
Tap the grid this will launch the ADW app drawer (black backround etc) scroll to the app you want then just tap it.
This is an awesome bit of kit, it's like have two phones, trying to set it up so i've got the Dell launcher for work and ADW for play. Sought of 'SPAS-12' with pump or auto.

Thanks Checkbox, that's pretty much the same as the drop down drawer, neither is too convenient when you have loads of apps. Besides, I've got 5 screens to play with, it would be criminal not to fill them all up with my most used apps. I can separate them by type this way too, general/work/games/photography/technical etc.
If you want the look of ADW in 'Streak Launcher' try Multicon Widget http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.h9kdroid.multicon
Awesome
Running launcher pro and its awesome. I thought it was possible to change the location of the of the dock to one of the four sides of the screen (top, bottm, left, and right). Has this feature been removed or am I missing something?
thanks cheers.
launcher pro or go launcher if u want resizeable widgets
launcher pro if u want 6 x 8 icons
go launch if u want 30 desktops

Not so awesome under Stage UI. The icons are not spaced correctly. The icons show up in groups of four and don't look like it flows like the Multicon homepage shows. Also there's wasted space between Fancy Widget and the Multicon icons.
My favourite is Sweeter home is still in beta but it has loads of themes and totally transforms the look of the streak

Install them both Doesn't use any extra battery.
Something i tried and looks great IMO
Instal ADW with Gingerbread theme (the backround looks fantastic on Streak)
Instal Launcherpro and use that, you then have Launcherpro with a backround that i can't find or replicate properly, looks awesome.

[Q] Adw launcher & Honeycomb

Is it possible to remove it, and if so how?

Wtf? Why is there a persistent logo on a launcher?
Jeez ander....
Tried LLP and it works better, but I can't remove the dock on LP. And can't
use swipe up to open appdrawer.
Guess I'll have to write to ADW and ask for a option to remove it.
I have been writingsoftware for ages and that is why I stay away from UX. Cannot please everyone (including me LOL)

This kinda stopped me from using ADW too...it would be nice if 'lock desktop' could be replaced with 'Apps' or any option we like.
I did email the dev about this a while ago when the Transformer came out but the reply sounded like it won't be updated.
Is there another launcher that removes the top row, enable swipe up/down and without or capable to hide the dock?

Try GO Launcher, it has swipe up/down also.
Only thing is it's not in the Market but you can side load it plus it's jsut not as good as ADW EX but that's just my opinion.
On the plus side it has gestures and you can resize widgets like the default launcher
Somebody on the post your home screen page had removed the logo, I wish there was adw that integrated the stock features like holographic, and Google search

Only if we could have ADW + Stock top (with the My Apps and + button)
that would be PERFECT.
From what I've read on the adw thread in the theme forum, the developer is working on being able to get rid of that top adw button and quite possibly even getting rid of that whole upper section too.
I tried Launcher pro and even optimized it but it still didn't feel as smooth and responsive as adw. I honestly think adw is perfect except for that top icon section.

Missing ADW Settings
Hey all, I think I could live with the bar at the top (although I agree it's a little obnoxious), but I can't get to any of the standard ADW settings. They're just blank. I'm not sure how to take a screenshot or I'd attach it. Any thoughts? Do I need to root my transformer for it to work?

No root needed to use ADW EX launcher.
To take screen shot you can use the native function.

Latest ADW launcher update

This latest update completely re-arranged my dock/icons/folder groups.

There is an option in settings to disable the dock bar completely.
That is all i noticed.
Yeah,
Latest ADW launcher EX updates just made a complete mess of my 'hubs' style homescreens setup. I'm really pissed off.
Even if they have reverted the option to disable the now-unified dock bar with the .56 update, I still have my vertically arranged 'simple text' icons shifted-off to the right (leaving a wastelando of screen realstate to the left of the tab) and the ones I had on the right hand side are completely gone! Damn!
To top that, I had a toggle icon on my homescreen linked to the "Show/Hide ActionBar" ADW action ...and that option is now completely gone! My icon does nothing and I don't find a way to hide the top action bar where the access to the ADW settings is, for example.

Bind the Show/Hide to swipe up our down and you should be good. Also, you can readd the shortcut as a custom shortcut to launcher actions.
After you do all that just to get back to the way it used to work what benefit do you get from updating to the latest version?

That is when you hide the toolbar and your custom menu in adwex is not hidden. If you try to hide some of the custom menu, in my case- I leave 3 items, that setting/menu will still show but useless.. try it and see.

Wow, I didn't realize ADW made the wallpaper look so different. Maybe try setting the wallpaper with another gallery app like quickpic? There's also a non-market app that's designed to set the Tab's wallpaper without hacking off the edges like the stock gallery does, but I forget what it's called.

For those who like it minimalistic:
Lightning Launcher (allows to "pin down" widgets which do not get scrolled, and rotate, place widgets over eachother etc.. best homescreen app imo)
and as App drawer / Launcher i use "Appsi Sidebar Launcher".
Check it out:
The clock widget is self-made with UCCW. The Calendar app is Jorte. Added the jorte widgets without background, then added background to all the widgets with uccw again so it looks all the same. (also with the poweramp widget at bottom, the lightning launcher allows to place stuff above eachother..)
Just need to fix that large gap between the 2 task widgets and poweramp.
I got Yahoo weather with small weather notification, Apex set up to 6x5 BBC news and thankfully to apex's Dock 1x1 widgets I was able to create toggles shortcuts. No root.
Btw. Yahoo weather has some awesome weather widgets too.

Not much really. Better just download them both and check which one suits the best for you.
I'm on Nova with 7x5 icons - they resize auto and I think I chose kitkat icons... (been a few changes over the past 3 - 4 days. Also using Omega 6 so have a few Wannam Xposed settings to smooth my experience.
Next Launcher 3D Shell is best.
try yourself !
GO launcher prime, def the best there's not really any competition out there imho
I keep trying Nova (with Prime) but I always end up going back to stock. It's not that I don't like Nova but with stock my battery drain is as low as 1% but goes up to 3% with Nova for some reason.
Epic launcher is copy of nova, but it resembles KitKat better. That's what I'm using right now.

Icon Packs

Does anyone have any suggestions on good looking icon packs? I'm using the Samsung Themes app to apply them but when sorting by "top" most of them look kinda cheesy. I'm not looking for anything crazy, just crisp, clean looking set of icons.

If you want ultimate customization, use NOVA Launcher and then you just have unlimited customization and icons aglore!!
I agree use NOVA launcher it's amazing and the amount of icon pa is out there will amaze you
I use Nova Launcher and the icon packs PixUI or Pixelful. If staying on the Samsung Launcher, try Pixelize or "Stock UI" which has round icons.

I'm not sure what you mean by widget fonts, but you can adjust the overall size of the widgets with nova Launcher settings. Set desktop grid numbers higher and it will then allow you to resize the widgets in more ways than the stock Nova settings. Also long pressing on widget will allow you to select padding which sometimes slightly changes the overall widget size. Last of all use the "sub-grid" option to allow even more adjustment sizes. Hope I'm understanding your issue correctly and maybe these suggestions will help you achieve your goal!
Cheers.

Also long pressing on widget will allow you to select padding which sometimes slightly changes the overall widget size. Last of all use the "sub-grid" option to allow even more adjustment sizes. Hope I'm understanding your issue correctly and maybe these suggestions will help you achieve your goal!
Cheers.

Resize the widget just change the widget composition instead of the font or widget size. It happen for all widget, not only samsung stock widget.
I use the Stealth icon pack. Bought it a few years ago, but had forgotten about it til recently.

Does anyone have any suggestions on good looking icon packs? I'm using the Samsung Themes app to apply them but when sorting by "top" most of them look kinda cheesy. I'm not looking for anything crazy, just crisp, clean looking set of icons.

I use these. They're from the Samsung theme store. There is a ton. Find some paid ones that you really like then click on their developer's name and go to their page. You'll find free icon packs there that are really good. View attachment 4697355

I recommend Nova Launcher Prime as it looks like most others do as well, customization is practically only limited to what you can't figure out how to do yourself, Nova Rock's.
