Try Apex launcher in the Play Store. I've been using it since my first smarty phone and really like it. Very intuitive and very customizable. Once you get it tuned the way you like it, you'll love it.
I've almost always had Samsung phones and never liked their skins, nor did I like huawei emui
Thanks for the recommendation. I've been meaning to replace the launcher with Nova but I haven't gotten to it. I wasn't crazy about Samsung's skin but I got used to it. I've had both LG and Samsung devices and transitioning from one to the other wasn't that a big deal for me, but the Huawei definitely has some quirks. Can't say that I really care for the Huawei emui.
