They are responsive if you email them. I've had two replies back.
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
I'm amazed you didn't read the nova FAQs which is in nova settings before you sent that email.

The faqs explains blur isn't coming to nova and why.

See my screenshot of the FAQs in the next post.

Reading that Would have avoided the need for you to send an unnecessary email...

Users get into quite a lot of trouble for posting these things on Novas official G+ community without checking the FAQs first!

With all due respect, I see you got a reply from nova, but if you read back several pages of this thread, myself and many other users have had no reply from nova at all (by sending an email from Nova Settings - Contact support)

Just because you had a reply does not mean others do.

It happens......

Nova support is not as good as it used to be, and its only right we tell users our experiences, even if its not so good.

In my case, nova 6.0 beta 1, 3, and 4 have all had problems that have caused issues for me, I've send three emails to nova over the past four weeks that so far, nova has not replied to or offered any kind of support or assistance to me.
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
The nova FAQs tell you blur isn't coming.....
[Nova Launcher] subhani:
I was simply sharing my experience. It wasn't to deny anyone else's. Thanks for the pointer towards the FAQ, though.

[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Need to wait until google releases it's notch instructions and devs implement them into their apps, or devices include immersive modes into their device settings options.

So I'm back to Nova launcher again, but I still have the same problem .

I'm wondering if there's solution to make widgets smaller? I mean the scale of it.

I know that in Touchwiz, the widgets are smaller. But in Nova, I never found a solution to scale them.

I tried changing the DPI but nothing happens! I tried changing the grid on homescreen but the widget scale is still the same.

The widgets are the same in all launchers I tried, apex, trebuchet. They are big!

It looks so weird with the weather/clock widget and Google Play Music Widget.

I'm running Lineage Oreo on Galaxy Note 4.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Huh? Resize widgets as much as you like. Long press on the widget...
[Nova Launcher] Isaac_T:
Haha, how can I explain this: it's not the size of the widget but scaling of the widget, I mean font-size, pixels of the widget.

I found an example from a reddit thread from someone who asked the same thing. I attached them.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Still no idea what you mean. You can resize and add or take away padding. In your screens posted I see no difference in any of the shots...

Wallpaper Crop Problem

Hey,

i got a problem with the Nova on my Huawei M5 10.8.

if i set a wallpaper it doesn´t crop it correctly.

in landscape it´s working fine, but if i switch to portrait mode...yeah..

iv´e attached some screenshots... i hope anyone can help me.

the developer dont answer and idk how to solve this problem.

[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
How are you setting wallpaper, with nova or different launcher? Try using a gallery app to set wallpaper or a file manager. Some apps give options on rotating walls to fit screens or crop them as you wish
[Nova Launcher] DominatingSystem:
I tried but it looks the same. I reinstalled Nova but doesn't help.

maybe it's because of emui. I dont know.

I am only surprised that the Stock Launcher does it and not Nova. [emoji1745]
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Try in nova settings look and feel--->screen orientation. Try different settings. Also in nova settings desktop play with grid size in portrait mode. I never had any issues like that with my Galaxy tab or nexus 7. I also always used them in portrait mode except when watching vids.

hey, maybe i totally missed something but i am using nova 6 beta 4 and I am wondering does it have the android pie nav pill and gestures? if its there, where and how do i get to it? or am i just out of luck using nova for that feature
[Nova Launcher] subhani:
I don't believe navbar icons and gestures are part of any third party launchers like Nova. That's system level, isn't it?

Nova supports launcher level gestures though, such as swipe down to open notifications shade.
[Nova Launcher] kinfolk248:
ohhh ok ok gotcha. dang dang danggggggg!!!!!! hmmm now i need to find a launcher with those gestures but with the goodies of nova... ay yi yi
[Nova Launcher] BillGoss:
What about this?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xda.nobar
[Nova Launcher] kinfolk248:
I'll give it a try
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
The only way to get those "goodies" is:

1. The pixel launcher on a pixel device running android P

2. Lawn chair launcher V2 on a device that's rooted with android P (with the lawn step mod)

3. Lawn chair launcher on a rooted device running android 8.1 and running the xposed android P - ify module (with the lawn step mod)

It won't work on any other android versions.

Link to all the goodies (it's from a Xiaomi thread but works on ANY device as long as it is rooted and has android 8.1 or 9.0)

https://xdaforums.com/xiaomi-redmi-3s/themes/lawnchair-2-launcher-pie-t3849427/page1

There is the XDA gestures app and that doesn't need root but only changes the nav bar, to android P style, unfortunately you don't get all the other goodies with it.

Sorry.

Hope that helps.
[Nova Launcher] kinfolk248:

Hi guys I have this problem with Nova Launcher I have a xiaomi mi 8 with miui 10.

When I change the theme on my smartphone the icons of the app change only on the original launcher, do not change in nova launcher, they always remain those.

I went into settings, appearance, and theme icons, but I can only choose default or marshmallows, I can not choose those of the miui theme I've set.

How can I import the icons of the theme miui into nova launcher?
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
You can't. Miui themes don't work on nova. Need a compatible icon pack for Nova.

Sent from my PH-1 using Thebear Blue XDA Labs
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
Nova only supports some (but NOT all) Samsung / Sony / HTC / and EMUI themes, but you CANNOT apply them as a standalone icon pack as these themes are only designed to work with that devices stock launcher.

MIUI blocks any launcher applying those themes which can only be fixed by Xiaomi, not nova.
[Nova Launcher] HyperCriSiS:
If you are rooted there are some nice apps like GND GestureControl and Xposed Edge.

[Nova Launcher] Anakha56:
So I am hoping someone can answer this because it is the only issue that prevents me from using Nova Launcher. With the Google Search widget on screen, tapping the "G" icon just opens up search no matter the setting in Desktop --> Search, Google App and Overlay do the same thing and Nova Search is not what I want either. If you go Desktop --> Search --> Search bar and change Search Window to Google app or overlay they do the same thing.

What I want to happen is the same as Niagra Launcher, tapping the "G" icon launches the Google app. How do I do this? I could do it via a gesture but I would prefer not doing that.

[Nova Launcher] Anakha56:
My apologies for not sharing that info it has been awhile since I last actively sought help on XDA. Let's break the software down...

Android Version: 8.0.0 Stock no root, bootloader still stock, kernel still stock. Running June security patch for 2018.

Nova Launcher Version: Nova Launcher Prime 6.0-beta5

Google Version: Latest full Google Beta, no Android Go for me.

That appears to be all the relevant info that I forgot to mention. However, as you so kindly pointed out, it would appear that this is a wide spread issue that is not actively being looked into and no fix looks to be coming any time soon. So I will go back to testing each new beta release and see if it is resolved, the day it is resolved is the day I will go back to using Nova. I shall also log a ticket with the dev's and see what they say...
[Nova Launcher] Anakha56:
Check sig (my phone details were there last time I checked) but no stress I will just chill and wait...
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
Whoa, stop right there!

I'm using the XDA app from the playstore and it doesn't give any user signatures at the end of a comment ( see my screenshot below )

Signatures don't show up on the XDA website either, so I still don't know what device you have.

When you post an issue here, or even to Nova themselves its YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to ensure you give full device and operating system details - That's the rules here and NOVAs own rules as well.

Its not my own or novas responsibility to check your user signatures or user information to get device or OS details and we certainly shouldn't have to keep asking you to supply that information - you should ALWAYS include that information in your post.

It's called "Making a proper bug report"

Seeing as you chose not to give me the required information and then sarcastically dismissed my help when I challenged you to provide me your device information, I won't be wasting any more of my time trying to help you.

Edit

It's posts like yours that make diagnosis of issues much more difficult and makes it virtually impossible for anyone happy to assist others to try to troubleshoot those issues.

Look at the post below for an idea of how to post a "proper bug report"

Gesture problem

Hello.

After installing Resurrection Remix on my Redmi Note 4, I am facing a peculiar problem.

In Nova Launcher, I have Swipe down (two fingers) set to Phone.

In Resurrection Remix, I have Three-finger gesture turned on for Screenshot (Settings->Configurations->Interface->Misc->Three finger gesture : ON).

Now, whenever I swipe 3 fingers to get a screenshot, the 2-finger Swipe Down gesture of Nova is triggered as well. Somehow, the gesture events are bubbling up and not being handled properly.

This happens with 3-finger swipe up as well. Instead of ignoring the gesture, Nova triggers its 2-finger swipe up.

Please tell me if you need any log files.

Details:

Redmi Note 4 Snapdragon

Nova Launcher v. 5.5.4

Resurrection Remix - RR-0-v6.2.0-20180910-mido-Final

Kernel: 3.18.124-FrancoKernel

First thing I would do is try the latest beta. If the problem is still occurring I'd get logs and report it on Google+. The developer doesn't monitor this thread (hasn't in a very long time).
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
No one from nova uses XDA or this thread so with such a complex issue you need to report this directly to nova themselves rather than report it in a nova user discussion thread no one from the nova team uses......

Best thing to do is use contact support in nova settings and send a detailed description of the issue, just as you have here, but make sure the "support TXT" remains attached to your email (that is the auto generated error log that will get send with your email)

Or join novas new official discord channel and report the issue directly there in the bug report section tagging Cliff Wade.

Nova are urging all users to use contact support or discord from now on as they will be quietly running down their official G+ community over the next few months before G+ closes next year.
[Nova Launcher] elhennig:
Hi, I have the problem that after switching to my new phone the quick settings get pulled down whenever I enter or leave the default screen in Nova. This is some kind of annoying and I appreciate any idea or help on that.
[Nova Launcher] elhennig:
Does anyone have n idea why this happens?

I tried to us different launchers and the problem does not occur there (however neither in pixel launcher, trebuchet oder evie there is a setting for default screen),

What is exactly done, when the default screen is called?
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
If you have more than 1 screen, when you hit home button from another screen or app drawer it brings you to the home screen or default screen. Long press on screen and swipe left or right and you should see a little home image the highlighted or colored image should be your default screen.

Sent from my PH-1 using Thebear Blue XDA Labs
[Nova Launcher] elhennig:
Hi, thanks for your reply. This is all clear nd I using this for years now.

But since I switched my phone (still using RR Oreo-ROM) when I enter or leave the default home screen configured in Nova the quick settings are opened and I have not found any configuration how to prevent it form doing so. For me the question is if this is caused by Nova or by the ROM or why Nova triggers this behavior on the ROM, while other launchers don't.
[Nova Launcher] sherpa25:
Wild guess.... could it be gestures, when you swipe left and/or right, it opens the quick settings?
[Nova Launcher] elhennig:
yes, it happens when swiping to or from the default screen. But it also happens, when I open an app or the app drawer from the default screen. So anytime I enter or leave the default screen the notifications drop into the screen.
[Nova Launcher] sherpa25:
That's what I meant...perhaps you defined gestures for swipe Left/Right to open Quick Settings. Check those.
[Nova Launcher] elhennig:
No, I have no gesture defined outside Nova Launcher. And then the quick settings or rather notifications should open on every screen change.

However it only happens when I enter the default screen or leave it either by swiping right or left to go the the previous or next screen or if I open a app loosing the focus on the default screen.

Hi, on the S8 my Edge screen disappeared when I uploaded a Nova launcher. How to reload edge screen?

[Nova Launcher] baldybill:
Love Nova, have prime, been using it for years.

Recently, I've been using GSam to see about battery usage and other things. I've noticed that Nova uses the accelerometer 100% of the time.

Should it use the accelerometer all the time?

Does this drain the battery?

Should I stop it from using it - and if so, how?

Thanks!

Can u kindly add the option to let the nova launcher show the shortcuts in recent apps screen for Pie??

(As, lawn-step can do this for lawnchair, instead of quickstep)
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
Please don't quote the whole OP.........

Nova have said no to adding the shortcuts in the recent apps screen simply because to use that in lawn chair it needs root, and nova have said they will never add root options to their launcher.

Thats the nova teams words - not mine.

That explanation is posted in the nova FAQs and in both of novas official communities on Discord and G+

I'm surprised you didn't know that.

It's always best to check that stuff before making a totally unnecessary post.
[Nova Launcher] rgawenda:
They had one root feature to turn screen off til not so long ago. I'm exactly one feature of to switch either to pixel launcher or lawnstep, after using Nova prime from first release
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
The "other" root options were removed in the latest nova 6.0 and they are not coming back (according to nova it was due to a bug on Google's end .....)

No one can force you to stay with nova or change to something else.

Like you, I've used nova from the beginning but they do seem disinterested and dismissive of their customers / users these days, and I've stayed a nova user out of a sense of loyalty......

But I don't like the latest versions of nova and it's not now my daily driver - which after all those years is a little unsettling!
[Nova Launcher] m0han:

Request: Be able to whitelist certain apps from certain settings in the Look & Feel section, such as Adaptive icons, adaptive icon style and normalize

It can already be done on the theme presets, by choosing which apps to theme. Should be available in the launcher itself for those who don't need/want any more than the stock
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
AHH do you are using PNG files for your icons?

That's why you have the issue.

If was already asked, sorry, lot to read to find right answer, I'm looking for option to hide back button on pill gestures navbar, OnePlus 5T, latest stable Nova launcher, looks like Nova is just another app for system that is why we see back button on home screen, any solution?
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:

You can only do it on root enabled launchers with their own gesture overlay (Lawnchair V2)

Nova is not and will never be root enabled.
