    Post [SOLVED] Reinstall EMUI launcher to system

    If you have kept a copy (apk) before uninstalling it, you could just install it back. Here is how you can extract it: adb shell pm path com.huawei.android.launcher -- show the path to the APK adb shell cp /path/to/apk/from/above /storage/emulated/0/Download/base.apk -- copy it to Download...

    Post Huawei Launcher

    IIRC it's called "drawer home" in english app store. my huawei ID region is in China so I'm using the chinese app store, and I'm able to find "华为桌面" in it.

    Post Huawei Launcher

    You don't need factory reset to bring back the emui launcher if you removed it with adb shell. you can always reinstall it via huawei's app store. Removing the emui launcher causes gesture navigation to stop working, as well as the ultra power saving mode.
