Google have dictated all launchers based on launcher 3 (like nova) should have notification based counts.

Nova recommends all users move to dynamic badges or notification dots and a new notification based count system is being worked on to be built into nova but won't be ready for some time yet.
[Nova Launcher] zelendel:
Give up on the unread count. Google has changed things so the only apps that can show the unread count is what is selected as the default sms or phone app.

Is there any way to install Nova Prime without Play Store? I have purchased prime through my account but I plan to use no google services/microg on my phone in the future.

Is there any way to transfer the license or purchase Prime again from outside the Play Store?
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Just save a copy of the prime apk on your device.

Not sure if the this thread is monitored but I would like to see a setting that is even faster than; Faster than light

I've recently tried some new launchers (after years with Nova) and was amazed at how fast they are. It would be nice if things in Nova could be sped up like opening the drawer, etc
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
Unfortunately no nova staff or the developer himself uses this thread, and haven't done for a while.

This has unfortunately now been downgraded to a "user discussion thread"

I suggest you goto novas new Discord channel and make that request in the "feature request" section.

Tag Cliff Wade in your request (he is novas customer service manager) and he will explain if this is possible or if such a feature would be considered.

Hope that helps.

SGS9, android 9. The Nova Launcher hides my navigation bar. Dock icons are at the bottom of the screen. Why? In the Samsung launcher I have a navigation bar below and a dock above it. Latest beta version of Nova launcher, bad even on stable version. Thank you for your help
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
Look in nova settings, you have got hide navigation bar turned on
[Nova Launcher] sinco:
Do not hide the navigation bar
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
You've done something in nova settings, my son has a Galaxy S9, so I just installed nova and the nav bar is working.

My partner has just brought a Samsung A4+ and I installed nova on that, the navigation bar is showing, so uninstall nova then reinstall it and don't mess with the settings, because the navigation bar is working whilst using nova on the S9.
[Nova Launcher] sinco:
I do not know what to do anymore. The Nova launcher has been uninstalled, installed. beta and stable version testing. Samsung One UI ok, no problem. Thank you

I'm sorry,my mistake . The problem was app SamTweak, navbar, checked. Canceled checked. Navbar in Nova launcher OK.
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
I'm glad you got the problem sorted.

Lesson learned I hope - don't be in such a hurry to blame nova for your problems without checking your device settings and other apps first!

On 9.0 Pixel 3 latest beta of Nova some apps I hide or unhide on reboot they're reset and I have to re-toggle them. Anyone else have this issue?

Started using Gsam Battery Monitor again, and I see under "sensor time used" that Nova is listed as using for as many hours as the phone been running (since last reboot). Any clue what the "sensor" is? does it drain the battery? should we turn it off?

Thanks!

It could be that the stats are not reliable? Try to reboot and check if it's still happening

[Nova Launcher] baldybill:
Unfortunately, that didn't help. It still says that it's using a sensor all the time.

The sensor is LGE Accelerometer

Not sure what that is or why Nova is using it.

Anyone shed more light on this?
[Nova Launcher] jcmm11:
Take at look at GSAM [preferences|device power profiles] and read what it says next to "include sensors in calculation", then decide if you want to leave it on or not.
[Nova Launcher] baldybill:
How does that stop nova from using the accelerometer?
[Nova Launcher] jcmm11:
It doesn't. If you read the description it states "some devices don't calculate sensor usage correctly. Uncheck this if your apps sensor usage appears inaccurate (accelerometer in particular)"

So the question is is the reading you're currently seeing accurate or in error. If it's in error you should uncheck this. It's very possible that Nova isn't actually using the accelerometer all the time (if at all) and you're looking at a false reading.
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
Just adding to this discussion - I read a similar report to this on novas official discord server some weeks ago.

Nova themselves say these these third party apps do give false or misleading information from time to time, and should be ignored.

Nova say the only information anyone needs to be concerned about is device systems own readings, nothing else.

If [MENTION=2823485]baldybill[/MENTION] is still concerned about this information he's getting, I suggest he posts his findings and relays his concerns directly to Cliff Wade (novas customer service manager) on novas official discord channel.

NB

Please bear in mind Cliff is NOT a fan at all of these battery monitor apps or anyone innocently asking such questions about novas usage and will probably read you the riot act for using such an app, then tear you to shreds for daring to ask the question and finally tell you to get rid of the app as it's the app that's actually draining the battery, not nova.....but he can ask ask Kevin Barry (novas developer) directly to explain or confirm what you have seen - and any reply from either is an official nova reply.

Also, to be fair to you we are just a bunch of fellow users here trying to help - we are not novas developers, so what do we know?
[Nova Launcher] baldybill:
It shows the same usage whether checked or unchecked. :(

My only hope is that it's not leading to the battery drain.

You could try also to reset your nova settings. IF there is a problem is related to some particular settings I think.

Folder labels in different color - possible?

Hi there, is it it possible to have folder labels in different color and app labels in different color?

It would be easier to differentiate between single apps and folders, I believe.
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
No one from nova uses this forum anymore, and haven't done for a considerable time.

To make a formal request to nova you need to goto the discord link in nova settings and make your request directly to the nova team in the official forum.

As far as I know nova have no plans to change how folder labels are displayed at this time, but there's no harm in you directly requesting the feature.

Thank you for your quick reply, I'm novice to this forum and could not really find my way to the right topic.

[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
No one from the nova development team uses this thread or XDA anymore, and haven't for over two years.

If you are facing issues with nova you need to use the CONTACT SUPPORT setting in nova settings and make your report there, or use the DISCORD link in Nova settings which will take you to novas new official community.

Posting here with bug reports is not advised as no one from nova will see it or even respond to you.

This is a "User discussion" thread only.

Sorry.
[Nova Launcher] elhennig:
Since I upgraded to Pie, in Nova Launcher the quick settings get enabled when ever I enter or leave the default home screen. Question here: Can someone check if that happens on their device, too? Or do you have any idea how to get rid of this behavior?

BTW. The problem occurs with Liquid Remix and Resurrection Remix, so also a question would be if this is a LOS bug or does it come from Nova itself?
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
Quick settings are not a launcher "thing" - they come from the system UI.

I can confirm my own device doesn't behave in that way but I'm using descendants 2.0 (android 9.0) and I've not seen it in LOS 16 either.
[Nova Launcher] elhennig:
Maybe I named this wrong: Everytime I enter the default home screen the notification panel is opened and again when I change the screen away from the default home screen. I am just not sure where this comes from (ROM, launcher,...).

I also tried to do a clean install from scratch which did not help either.

EDIT: I also tried with EVIE launcher that did not show the behavior.

If I change the default home screen, the notification area is opened from that page.
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
The quick settings / notification panel are the same thing.

Unfortunately there are no reports of anything similar or anyone reporting anything similar, I also checked on novas official community and found nothing.
[Nova Launcher] elhennig:
That is good to know. So I can concentrate on the other possible sources where the issues could be caused.

[Nova Launcher] IronTechmonkey:
Apart from my disdain for Nova's style of communication, from a purely technical standpoint I'm surprised by that statement. It implies that all Battery monitor apps are active services which collect information on their own rather than use Android's Native data. In fact one of the best battery monitoring apps around (Better Battery Stats) uses Android's data and uses it quite well.

Nova could have taken more responsibility in their planning and communications to make sure genuine support requests get routed to them apart from other app related discussion. Many developers handle that by creating a separate Q&A thread but they did not. So it goes. Now it would be their prerogative to close this thread (after which some good fan based ones would probably spout up and with any luck be frequented by helpful folks such as yourself :)) but it is not reasonable to tell people not to post anything here while the thread is opened and while there is reasonable app related Q&A discussion which would not occur in their forums. To your point, yes, official support requests go directly to Nova but there is other stuff to reasonably post here so let's not discourage people from doing that as long as the thread is open.
[Nova Launcher] IronTechmonkey:
TL DNR. Actually I did read all of it but it was too long to repost, except one paragraph

That is different from and more specific than what you said in your previous post. Accurately quoting and citing sources would avoid that confusion. It's also rubbish for Nova to claim that such apps which might be accurate about everything else are not accurate about Nova.

Please don't take this personally because you are a very helpful person here however: Not only is Nova unpleasant to deal with directly but also some of their claims which you relay to us here are antithetical to the Android community and or just plain false.

This thread is good for Nova users as a place for general discussion and good for Nova support as a communication filter so don't follow Cliff over the cliff every time they complain. :)

Tapatalked with A8 2018
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
So correct me if I'm wrong, I've not got borders but you are now saying the middle of folder preview is transparent, so whatever I say you are just finding fault with something else?

Adjusting the transparency does remove the border which is what you asked to do.

Other changes you'll have to take up with Nova directly, I was just trying to help you.
[Nova Launcher] the stranger94:
What? ::look: finding fault? :asd:

My folder have a white border and the rest is more "transparent", not bright white.

You've have the same but in black: a black circle and inside a more transparent, or grey if you prefer, color.

Before it was all one color, I simply want to know if there is a way to have all one color, if I change the transparency doest remove any border, it changes both border and center but the difference remains (with 100% transparency obviously you don't see anything)

Tapatalked with A8 2018
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
My folders are not black or grey or have a border at all, you got me confused with the other guy.

I've explained right now, 100% transparency is the only way to remove the border BUT at a cost of having a transparent folder icon.

There are currently no other settings or options to get back the old style.

if you really want that old style back you'll have to ask Nova themselves directly as they are monitoring feedback thats made on their official community about this - they won't see your comments here as they don't use XDA or take any notice of anything posted here unfortunately.

Your question has therefore been answered, so I need no need for further discussion as what you want isn't there right now.
[Nova Launcher] the stranger94:
Ok, I confused you for the other guy since you quote the message in which I was talking about his screenshot (he said that haven't any border when it's clearly visible so it has nothing to do with transparency)

Your first message was not so clear, remove the folder color completely isn't what I was trying to do, but if there isn't a solution to remove only the border I'll live with it.

Now you explain it very well. Thanks

Ps I never said that the middle of folder is transparent but more transparent than the border for every transparency setting but 100%

Hi, on my home screen (nova launcher) I use the google search bar. Before the latest update when I was tapping the "G" on the left of the bar I was being taken to the google now page, instead of the "google search". I liked that feature. Now it doesn't. When I press the "G" on the left side of the bar it goes straight to the google search. It is not a big issue but I was wondering if I can get it back the way it was, somehow.

Hihi,

I am using nova prime with double tap to sleep function. However, when i double tap to sleep, the screen wakes up immediately.

Any solutions for this? Seems like i'm having the same problem with other apps as well. Cant see to google a solution for this

2 types of lock

-accessibility ( double tap to sleep works, however screen wakes up immediately )

-device admin ( double tap to sleep works fine! screen does not wake up. But unable to use finger print unlock (known issue))

Phone setting (tried to play around with this setting, but still doesnt work)

accessibility service- on

lock automatically - 5sec

lock instantly with power key - off

Currently using s10+
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Probably doesn't work yet as your device just came out. Lmao. Probably need to give devs a bit to see what differences there are with your device. If you have AOD, the screen should wake after putting it to sleep.

But one thing i can't manage is to change the colors and shapes of the quick setting, they still bleu like on the pixel experience.
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
You can't change the colours and shapes of quick settings via Nova launcher, they are not part of Nova launchers settings or can they be changed via a third party launcher, as it doesn't have "system" permission to change them.

Those settings can't be altered or changed without changing your device default theme or using root/xposed/substratum or a notification shade overlay (like power shade for instance) to theme those quick settings, like on most devices.
