Does anyone get this message more often on Honor 8 saying, "Sorry, an error occurred. Your home screen icons will be re-arranged to their default positions." ? I am getting it at-least once in a week and it resets the icon arrangements including the folders I made as per my usage priority. This is so embarrassing. I am using EMUI 4 latest update. Do let me know if I am the only one facing this. Any help would be much appreciated.

Yes, I am using the stock EMUI launcher only. Since I have been getting this issue, I have just put on a CMLauncher.

Sure, I will give Nova a try.
How do I do the extract from an update and re-instal ? I am sorry, I am new to Android. I have been an iOS user for almost a 5 years (3 years with iPhone 4S and 2 years with iPhone 6). For the 1st time, I thought of giving a try for Android. I hope I wont regret my choice.

You can flash the stock firmware over to see if it is a problem with the software. (might wipe data on phone)
I don't have the phone so not 100% sure, someone else on this forum probably could help you more

Hi,
Please verify if the shake to arrange option is enabled on your device by pinching the Home screen>More settings. Also, you can do a backup of the device using HiSuite and perform a full factory reset to see if the issue manifests itself afterwards.
Cheers

No. The shake to arrange option is not enabled on my device. With the CM launcher I am using now, I do not face this issue so far. This was happening only with the stock launcher.

After using a launcher, I am not getting the issue. But, at times the launcher gets switched to EMUI, even though I have selected a different launcher (CM launcher, Nova, Google Now etc.)
I assume that is also a bug with EMUI.

in addition, cannot move or add anything to home screens...hope someone can help.
I"ve got two Honor 8 phones and both have always had this problem. It may happen once a week and sometimes once in two weeks. Neither phone has ever had EMUI as the default launcher, one has Nova and the other uses Microsoft launcher. I've learned to live with it since it happens so infrequently. This problem has been reported in the Nova Launcher Google+ community by others so I expect it's a EMUI compatibility problem.

I use Action Launcher and can confirm this is the case. However, I disabled the stock launcher so even when the 'Smart Recovery's message pops up it's unable to restore to default stock launcher and leads me back to Action again.
It's definitely a EMUI compatiblity problem.

Hello! I cannot get the Quick Dial widget to work at all! It works if I use the stock launcher, but not when I use Nova Launcher. I'm running the latest version of Nova Launcher (5.0.2) on a rooted Huawei Mate 9. I can create the link/icon but when I try to click it, it says "permission denied." Is there any way to fix this? I would hate to have to switch back to the stock launcher because of this!

Hi,
To circumvent this problem with the direct-call widget some people recommended Speeddial.apk. The free version only lets you create dial-contacts while the pro version also allows sms-contacts. But since SMS widgets already work (they use a different app to actually direct-text) the free version is sufficient. The only problem of Speeddial is its big storage requirements and the regular nagging to obtain the pro-version.
A much better alternative IMHO that is completely free is Quickdial.apk. This is widget-app is only limited to dialer-shortcuts but it only requires 384kB instead o/t +2MB of SpeedDial. Beware that some people might not like the look of QuickDial's widgets.

Hi guys,
Could someone please confirm if the Nova Launcher's Direct Dial shortcuts work in the new Mate 9 EMUI 5.
I'd be happy to upgrade but there's one thing that's stopping me.
I've been using my Mate 7 running KitKat 4.4.2 and EMUI 3.0 for a couple of years now. It's my main business tool. I basically got stuck with it as any further firmware update was ruining the Direct Dial function in my Nova Launcher, and I highly rely on it. It was failing to dial with "permission denied" error. They say it's a problem with EMUI but there's NO fix. I tried every possible way to make it work.
PS I know you can get other direct dial apps, but unfortunately they can't be assigned to Nova's gestures, and that's how I need it.
Thank you
I'm using romaur 1.5 and I'm on the beta program for nova prime. At some point it started working again. Couldn't tell you what it was though, I think maybe the latest version of nova fixed it on their end.
This problem bugged me for a very long time, but now it seems this ROM and phone does almost everything I want and how I want. I come from a nexus 5, so the lack of options here was a very sore spot at first but now I'm a happy camper and this bug was the last thing that bothered me.

Thanks mate, I'll keep rom aur 1.5 in mind as a workaround. Would love to hear if anyone's tested it with the stock ROM.
no it does not. I have the latest B185 update and it's the same error you mentioned. I contacted both Huawei and Nova Launcher developers, they are pointing finger to each other each blaming the other party.
I'm using an app to speed dial.
Can third-party launchers now be used on color OS 7.1
Oppo find X2
And does Android messages working group texting?
Here i am using Nova Launcher, seems to work perfectly
OPPO also blocks third-party Launcher, at least in the CN version. You can only deactivate the original launcher.
gestures no longer work

I installed nova launcher first and then used abd to uninstall com.oppo.launcher .
Nova launcher started, but the task button and gestures did not work.
How did you switch without problem?

Not sure how you'd do it without the oppo launcher being installed. I just made Nova Launcher the default when asked. Try App Management, Default Apps

Thank you for your reply, but sorry
My find x2 pro is probably the Chinese version.
On default app in app management, i can't show choice for system apps.
So I'm looking for other way to change it with adb etc.
Hey guys,
I had the CN x2, but the restrictions were too big and I sold it again. 1. I hope that there will be a root as soon as it falls below 1000 euros in Europe and is therefore affordable for more people. Had my search, because of Nova, found this and it went pretty well. Only important for the CN version

Did you ever manage to figure out how to get the task button to work?
Hello,
I contacted Oppo's support about third party launcher. They seems suprised it is not possible to use another one. They will look deeper in this issue as , for the moment, it is not possible to select another launcher as homescreen in default apps, for chinese rom.
I hope they will deploy a fix for it
Finally, Oppo's support just answered me that this feature is not supported by this device.
I am quite disappointed and think about selling this great phone in order to go to another brand ( maybe oneplus 8 pro )....

It's supported on non-CN models. Only CN locks out launcher switch. Same with the 5 autostart Apps.

you can't chnage the laucnher unless you adb the phone and uninstall it, and then the buttom gestures don't work.

Hello, I recently had on my poco F2 pro european version, the update to android 11. Since this update (12.2.1.0) gesture navigation on nova laucher bug while on android 10 there was no problem. Gesture bugs occur on all alternative launchers. Only back gestures work, and Home and Recent App only works on the Home page. It is impossible to go to home when I am on facebook for example. I don't know where it comes from, after the advice on xiaomi after-sales service I carried out a factory restore but without success. Thank you in advance for your answers.
Same as you, only I'm on the global version. Tried the factory reset as well.
For me just recents don't work.

MIUI 12 issues still exist with Nova, Lawnchair, & other 3rd-party launchers
Xiaomi's MIUI 12 still casues issues with thrid-party launchers like Nova, Lawnchair, and more as per the latest user reports.

Same here, 'recents' don't work with Smart-Launcher'
Okay, from what I can see I'm not alone. Do you think this will be resolved with future updates or is android blocking this?

It's probably MIUI issue, because it works in AOSP ROMs.
Ah okay I thought the problem was similar to that android 10 at launch. What surprises me is that miui 12 under android 10 did not have this problem ...
same, i'm using lawnchair launcher. need to use default launcher for the time being.

I don't know, some say it works
Just don't update to latest "stable", it's not worth it.
In addition to lack of gesture support for 3rd party launchers (a huge annoyance, since if they don't restore these, I'll probably ditch F2 and move on to something more useable, besides Poco's launcher is a proper eyesore with that big bar at the bottom). Also I've been having issues with performance, lack of smoothness & often times Youtube crashing for no reason (when I'm not using it etc.).
Holy ****! So it's not just me.. Guess it's time to root my phone
ok, i have not found a working launcher! (i have tried 12x different apps!)
btw:
Nova 7 beta has the same problem!
no way out!
btw.
i have written to nova dev. They have answered they could not do anything against that behavior because xiaomi have to do that.
Must be a Poco F2 Pro specific issue..
i have seen, that the size of newer versions of poco launcher (>v. xxx.10) was reduced more than 10mb against older versions. No wonder, that we got problems.
no differences in behaviors if miui optimization is switched to on or off. Same result!
so wie have to wait for newer firmware fixes.
I have same problem, i cant open recents, and cant use gestures with other launchers.
Can some of you recommend custom rom with "swipe gestures" and "wake up on taking up" the fone features?
