Huawei Phones: How to Change the Default Launcher

Virtually all manufacturers are committed to their own layer of personalization, as a hallmark. EMUI is the one that is present in Huawei mobiles, with its own design, icons and functions . However, many users prefer to change the default launcher to one of their liking, since the options are very varied.

Luckily, to be able to change the launcher on our Huawei mobile is a simple task, which does not require complicated processes. It is also not necessary to root our mobile or put your warranty at risk. We simply have to find a launcher that we like and proceed to make a simple adjustment within the options of our mobile.

How to change the launcher

Changing the launcher or the user interface can be something we do out of boredom or the desire to experiment with new designs and possibilities. Keep in mind that when installing a third-party launcher, many of the EMUI options could be disabled , until we activate the default interface again. The vast majority of the best launchers available for Android integrate their own icon packs, updated designs, wallpapers and added functions.

Choose the one you like

The first step is to download any of the many launchers that we have available on Google Play. It is recommended to always download it from the Google application bazaar, since many launchers hosted on web pages and downloadable as “APK” take advantage of flashy designs or functions to sneak malware . Luckily the options on Google Play are varied enough that you don’t have to search outside. Right below you can access the best launchers available for Android.

Activate it on mobile

Once our favorite launcher is downloaded, we will have to activate it. For this we will have to go to Settings and enter Applications. Once inside we have to click on “Advanced options”. In this section, we will see a setting called “Default application settings” and click on “Activator”. At this time we will find a list with all the launchers that we have installed on our mobile. It is possible that the default Huawei is marked, so we will only have to click on the one we have downloaded.

Once we return to the main menu we will see the change made and our mobile will show off the new look. Generally, the options to configure the launcher are accessible quickly from the main menu, or by entering the launcher app and making the appropriate changes.

And disable it?

In order to return our Huawei mobile to its initial state, we will have two ways. The first is to go to Settings / Applications and delete the installed launcher. In this way the system will use the default design again. We can also go back over the previous steps and in the “Activator” section, activate the Huawei launcher again.
