Alright, so I was trying to make Nova Launcher my one and default launcher by moving it to /system. I had previously backed up and uninstalled Huawei's launcher with Titanium. But in the middle of things - had already uninstalled HW launcher and was trying to move Nova to /system - I made the mistake to think there would be a newer version available (which there was, but I couldn't update it on top of my current Nova version, dunno why). Karma strikes, I forget about not having a launcher and decide to reboot the phone to see if it was just Nova misbehaving or something (lol).
Now the phone shows bootanim alright, but goes to a "updating" EMUI screen which halts at 100% (I'm assuming the phone can't start without a proper launcher in /system). I said alright, let's push a Nova.apk to /system via TWRP (which works fine at least, so I know the phone isn't bricked), but upon trying to copy the app I get:
failed to copy 'NovaLauncher.apk' to '/system/app/': Is a directory
I don't know what to do; I have two NANDroid backups (one pre-root and another one after I made lots of modifications but phone still worked fine) but would preferrably install Nova rather than restoring the whole backup (if it's at all possible, of course).
Using instructions to install apps at /system/app through ADB gets me the message "remount of system failed: Success remount failed" upon trying /adb remount , and I don't know how to procede. Any help?
