[Q] Nova Launcher - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am a long time user of Nova and when CM12 (OTA stock) came out I went right to work changing the icons and white card background. Now Nova locks up nearly very night, while charging, between 1:20 and 3:20 AM. I get force close. I am locked out and need a reboot.
When rebooting I get the update screen
"Android is updating"
"Starting 2 apps"
Then all is well during the day. I tried Apex--Same deal.
Nova worked great on CM11 (OTA stock)
Launcher 3 (default) has no issues. Any thoughts on how to fix?
FYI Phone rooted and TWRP installed. Never installed nightlys
Tried
Delete cache and data
Change themes
Cycled (tried on and off)
Ambient light
Daydream
Prevent wake

Strange.
I am using Nova Launcher Prime and also been beta testing it before the 4.0 release and had no issues like you described - not on CM12, COS12 (stock OPO) and not now on CM12.1. You should get a logcat, when this happens or maybe reinstall ROM.

I forgot to mention that I am using Nova Prime

For me Nova beta with prime is working fine, did you restore your settings? Maybe there's something broken.

When I deleted the data and cache it sets it back to the "factory" default. The only restore I did was to re-enter the settings manually. The other thing is Apex Laucher has the same issue.
what activities go on in the middle of the night, and/or what 2 apps are being started on the reboot. Also, why does this happen only while charging.

sudden problem after 12.1

I got 12.1 YOG4PAS1NO update last Sunday and had no probs till this afternoon. Suddenly phone is running really hot. I shut phone off to cool but gets hot again. Also launcher was freezing (Nova). So I went to stock launcher. When I open Apps in settings it freezes. I installed an app today so I uninstalled it, but still problems. (app was a currency exchange) Not sure what else to do.
thinking back i was installing a theme on Next Launcher, a launcher that i hadn't used but the launcher was installed, and the launcher seemed stuck on updating. i since uninstalled Next Launcher - but the problem continues.
Any advice would be appreciated

No problems with nova on the l29 usa one.. Open nova launcher then go back to home then Try opening ur recent apps and hitting the lock on nova launcher. Also make sure nova launcher is set to not close on phone lock.
No problems with nova. L29 western Europe model.
Must just be a Nova setting you need to check....
I have the AL00, and it works just fine. Did you install it from the play store? I have found some of the widgets from EMUI clashes with Nova, but if you stick to widgets from Google play, you should be fine.
Yes, do not use any of the widgets of EMUI. I have had no issues since doing that.
That's it. Stock weather widget was the problem.
Thanks everyone

I have the same problem. I give to nova all permission but The problem persists.
Also, if I use the emui the hot word ok Google does not work. someone help me
I have nova latest version running on AL00 without any issues even after restart nova continues as my default home also notification are working with no issues. I did give full permissions to all nova apps and full notification access.
The issue is Bluetooth bug. Toggle the Bluetooth connection with another device resets the default home. If you don't use bluetooth then you won't have that issue.

I've been using Bluetooth with my car, my fitbit and echo without any issues and still nova stays as default
if rooted, use titanium backup to freeze the "launcher" the stock one. hit the home button and set nova as the default.
Inscribed via LG v20 (iOS 11.1.0 Aplha)
Do you know if there is a fix for Bluetooth bug ?
I have the same model. You have to ensure nova has all the relevant permissions activated under settings. Storage, voice, etc etc. Nova works fine on my Mate 9. It initially kept crashing then I had a look at the settings and it's worked flawlessly since.

Huawei Launcher wants to rule the day? Other launchers crashing.

This is on an MHA-L09. I would prefer to use Nova or the Google launcher, anything but the Huawei stock launcher, but am having issues.
Nova Prime is crashing, or so it is reported by the Huawei Launcher that Ithen replaces it, with a warning that I should uninstall the Nova Launcher. I cannot see a pattern to when Nova crashes.
I have a seperate issue with the Google Launcher. This sometimes finds itself caught in a desktop refresh loop - the desktop will go black, the background image will be re-drawn, then the icons and widgets, then it will blank again. While this loop is happening, I can draw down the notification shade and the screen will stay on, roll up the shade and the refresh loop continues.
So,
a). has anyone else found the same and has solutions, or
b). are there any crash logs that I can look at to see why this might be happening, for either Nova or Google Launchers?
This has happened over a few versions. I have also done a factory reset and the prblem continues. After the reset I did do a re-install from a back-up, so I may have just reloaded what ever is causing the problem, hence my keeness to find logs to help see where the problem may be.
I used to have this problem also but tried Microsoft launcher and I'm hooked.
Ever since, I haven't gone back to huawei or nova
Mine is a L29, USA version, no issues with Nova Prime here.
This issue is definitely caused by using your backup. If I recall correctly the crashing was a nova bug after an android update and has since been fixed, but if you use a backup created before the fix it will cause the same issue again. Simply do a clean nova install and ditch your backup and it will work like a charm again.

[Q] Pie and Nova Launcher - repeatedly prompted about default launcher?

Has anyone else been repeatedly prompted about which launcher you want to use, even after selecting "always"?
I've been getting this occasionally since upgrading to Pie on a non-rooted Pixel 1 running the latest Nova Launcher on the Play store.
I too have the same setup but have not ran into that issue. Have you tried clearing app info, uninstall and reboot phone and setup nova again?
I paid for nova prime.
I should have tried that first. Five days so far, and it hasn't happened again. :good:

Getting a screen glitch when closing apps.

I've started getting a glitch where if I swipe up from the bottom and I'm in an app, immediately after the app swipes away it will briefly flash up on the screen again. It started happening as soon as I switched back to the default from Nova. I've since u installed Nova and rebooted and it's still happening. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Google beta app?
I think this could be related to the GOOGLE beta application. I had the same issue after a recent update to the application. After removing myself from the beta the issue was gone.
I think I got an update to that immediately after removing Nova, so I'll give it a day or two and see what happens after another update.
I had that happening when on Q beta 4. Once I switched back to Pie (I did a full wipe/reset) it went away
