Hello everyone
Yesterday Nova Launcher 5.0 has arrived and comes with pixel like swipe to open drawer and dock backgrounds to draw under navbar.
When I apply to draw under navbar first it works then when I use the navbar it switches back to black background? I hope you understand what I am saying
Can Anyone who tried the new Nova Launcher help me please?
It only works on the home screen
I know that. it was black background at the home screen too. But I solved the problem you need to turn on the transparent notification bar. Now it looks as it should be
Thank you though
Anyone using Nova 5 on B320? Each time I set Nova as the default launcher and press the home button it reverts back to EMUI and I get the Smart Recovery message telling me my phone has recovered from a serious error caused by Nova. Anyone know of a fix?
Thanks

Set Nova as your default launcher.
Black background or u got the stock launcher again ? if u got back to stock then set default if u got black background might be an issue with the app update .
Reverts back to the stock launcher. As for disabling Huawei Home it isn't listed under Apps so how to disable?

This is weird. I never had this problem with Nova.
Maybe something to do with the fact I'm running beta firmware. I've emailed the developer to see if they can can up with anything. Thanks all for your input.

not related to beta or any thing just try to reinstall i download the nova 5 and was awesome ! ...
Hi all, was there ever a solution to this? Using an honor 6x and experiencing same issue. I downloaded and set Nova launcher as default. Works for a while only to revert to home launcher after a warning message "smart recovery- device recovered from a serious failure...".
Previously i had disabled the home launcher and it rendered my device useless until I restored a backup through twrp...
Forces me to uninstall and reinstall Nova to be able to use it.
However this time around I hid Huawei home launcher in magisk and it seemed to last longer without the warning.

If I press on the home screen for longer than a second a screen comes up that lets me change my wallpaper/widgets/settings. Does anyone know if I can remove that shortcut? Haven't been able to find a way through settings or nova settings.
Thanks!
I should clarify, long press the display while on the home screen

I'm sure there has to be a way to do it after root however I've never heard of anyone rooted or not wanting to do it. What do gain by removing it and I've used nova for a long time but don't remember seeing an option to remove.

Yeah, already contacted the support team and no response so far. Very annoying!
Well, one thing this reminds me of is a more polished rom'd phone. Even with a Nexus 6 the software had some bugs just because software got pushed out so fast.
I played around and for sure it's the launcher, if you install Nova launcher the home button can be configured to work as you describe. The only thing about THAT is no swipe to open google now (which I usually configure to be double tap on the background). Though I'm sticking with the default Launcher3 for now.

Have you checked out the Nova Google Companion app? It adds the ability to swipe from the left to access Google now while using Nova Launcher.

^^This - I have this configured in Nova now and it works great.
Try a factory reset without installing any apps during setup. Try the blank slate route. It may be an app that isn't playing well with the last update. If it doesn't work you can always reset and install you apps from backup.
I ended up doing nova with the google companion.
I did not try to reset again to see if it was an app I installed (I do not have many). It has to be a bug with the launcher. What they probably should do is break out the launcher as a separate app for them to be able to update as an app instead of requiring a system update.
With that done that should be it, now that the camera and whitelist app are depreciated.
Same issue here. I've tried to factory reset but it hasn't worked for me. I don't feel like rooting the phone either to fix something that a phone that costs $700 should get correct out of the box...

You don't have to root it to use Nova, nor do you have to root do to the companion to get the now integration. All you have to do is sideload the now companion... not sure about how updates work though.
Anyway, at some point this was fixed in the default launcher. I got a RMA phone due to the speaker grill issue, and noticed it worked. Then went back and tried it on my original phone and it was good there too.
Hello friends,
So i am using nova launcher prime -latest version as default launcher.
I am facing issue in double tap to screen lock method in nova launcher. As i give permission in accessibility, it works but after few hours or a day, it resets the feature and i have to turn off/turn on the accessibility permission given to nova launcher.
Can anyone guide as to why is this happening and how to resolve this??
Thanks in advance buddies.

I have the same setup with no issue. Try to remove Nova as the default launcher and use Oxygen launcher that the phone came with. Press and hold an open spot from the main screen to pop up the screen settings. From there toggle off the double tap to lock screen. Re-set Nova as your default launcher again. In Nova setting reactivate the the double tap to lock screen

In settings/battery/app launch make sure Nova is not set to manage automatically and make sure it's set to stay running in the background.

I'm having the same problem with Greenify. The accessibility setting turns off. Funny thing is Nova works fine! And Nova's battery is optimized! I have de-optimized Greenify and, for good measure, I have locked it in the resent apps. Is there something peculiar to greenify here? The phone is unrooted.
Morning All,
as described this is annoying for nova launcher users. So is there a button remapper that works with the note 20u? I can skip the gesture navigation for now if needed. or is there an actual solution for this?
TIA
Could you please elaborate? What do you mean "launcher won't stick? You cannot set Nova as default launcher or what? I'm using Nova Prime and it's working just fine, haven't noticed so far anything unusual. Even the new gestures works with it...

I'm with @Rapier on this one we don't have enough information to help you.
He probably didn't set Nova as the default launcher and it defaults back to One UI every time he restarts
Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
It is set as def launch, when I swipe up it deselect the def launcher so it defaults to the one ui(samsung junk)
maybe more clarification is needed, goto recent screen then gesture the 'back" it will revert to one ui. Or with nav bar press home button and it will continually ask if you want to set as default launcher. Also when you goto default launcher nothing is selected. Hope this clears things up a bit.
That's strange. I have Nova Prime working perfectly since day 1, never faced the issues you're describing. Have you tried to reset to factory then install Nova first thing and try again?
Using Nova also and no problems here.

Check if you installed any new apps.
I faced this issue, when I installed cenlar (bank) app. Once I uninstalled it, it all good.
Did you ever find a writing result for this? I'd really love to know how to fix this issue.

I had this issue on the new update. What I did as a workaround is to first go to app settings and set One UI as default launcher. Then clear its cache. After that, I go to Nova Launcher and set it as the default launcher. As long as you don't restart or turn off your device, it will stick.
I'm rooted and have mods installed, so they could be part of the problem too.
Anyone else seeing this? Every once in awhile, I'll press the "home" button on the navbar.
And instead of showing me my home screen with icons & such, it only shows my background.
I have to press the home button a second time before my icons and folders show up.

Plenty of people have this issue, some launchers don't work properly, I'm getting others issues as well like folders showing up in recents.
There's no real fix at the moment, you either change launcher or keep the issues.
Darn. Okay, thanks for letting me know that it's not just me.
I haven't had any issues with Nova Launcher. I'm using the Prime version. Perhaps that makes a difference?
Have you changed the settings within the config utility?
Yep, I've had Prime Nova for many years.
I change a TON of settings in the Nova settings.
It doesn't happen often enough to make troubleshooting easy.
I guess I could try resetting it back to factory defaults for a week or so.

You mention that you're rooted and have mods installed...I would definitely look there first. I say this because I use Nova Prime on my 7 Pro and have zero issues. In fact I have been using Nova Prime on all my phones for years without any problems. YMMV
Every single third party launcher and device has this issue (and more) ever since Android 10 came out and tied Recents and Launchers together, it's worse with gesutres but can happen with navbar too.
Those who claim to not have it either ignore it, don't use their device fast or don't mind lag
Lawnchair alpha 4, no issues
Not rooted, qp beta, nova prime, no issues like that on mine.
..certainly no one can have accessibility function for gestures in nova launcher, this is due to google - android 13 security,
double tap would be a bless, so i don't understand why google is providing double tap on the back of the phone, but only strange single tap (lock screen) on the front of the device.. ?
I ran into a similar issue with Android 12 & 13 - it's a little tricky to get the gestures for Nova to work on the lock screen and provided a couple of screen shots to make things easier for you.

To enable accessibility, go to 3 dot menu in app info and bypass the restriction there.

I followed this advice and Nova is still broken. Oh well. I guess I could try another Rom, but how do we launch the default launcher?
No problem with Nova 8.0.3 here. But i dont use navbar.
And accessibility is working as well. I use it for double tap to sleep.

I only have that occasional issue if I have a **** ton of memory hungry apps running. And I think it started with the January update
Using total launcher and something similar happens to me. When I use gestures to pull up recent apps, I'll just see my homescreen instead of the apps themselves. Very weird but the behavior still works in that I can press the screen and it goes to the last app, which is what I want majority of the time.
Nova gestures work for me via Accessibility - but only for a few hours. Then, I can't see a note in Accessibility menu for Nova non-malfunctioning. Turning the Allow toggle off and on resolves the problem, temporarily.
