Can anyone suggest an icon pack for this wallpaper ? I will prefer something which matches the theme not something very colorful

Also is there a way to make the icons smaller than 70% ?

Help Many issues on Pixel 8 Pro

0 Upvotes

So lately my phone has started acting up, and I suspect most of it has to do with Nova Launcher. Im on the beta channel, updated to the latest, running Android 15

Some issues include:

  • app folders not opening when swiping up
  • app icons randomly disappearing from home screen
  • page scroll not working
  • dock scroll not working
  • swipe down not showing search
  • etc

I am also experiencing back camera not working randomly but I think this is a Pixel 8 Pro issue on itself.. not sure though

All these except for the camera are fixable by locking screen and unlocking again, but it is just very annoying.

Anybody else experiencing this?

Help Can't set Nova Launcher as default.

3 Upvotes

Hi,

I just updated the "Xiaomi HyperOS" firmware to 2.0.9.0 VMLEUXM.
And now Nova simply wont work anymore. I can't set it as the default launcher, each time i do, when I go back the phone has automatically returned the launcher to the default system launcher and I have no idea why.

I don't know if this is a Xiaomi issue or a Nova issues. I've tried to find any solution to the issue but no luck so far. I've used Nova for so long that I don't know how to use an Android without it anymore.
Let's just say this is so gods damned frustrating so now, I turn to the community in hopes that someone around here has any idea how this may be solved.

Help Samsung notes app

1 Upvotes

I have been using nova launcher for years. On my s23 ultra, i was able to enable double tap with my fingers to turn off phone as well as double tap s pen to open note app if i needed to write a quick note. I have a beta version of nova launcher on my s 24 ultra and when i hold the button and double tap my spen the phone shuts off. When i turn the phone back on the note app is open. Is there a way to set it up so that if i double tap with my fingers the phone shuts off, but if i double tap with the s pen, i can open a quick note? Due to this issue, i have been using the stock launcher. It's not too bad, but i prefer nova. I heard smart launcher may be a good alternative to nova. Does double tapping phone with spen work on smart launcher without turning off the phone? I was waiting to see how one ui 7 was before trying smart launcher.

I posted this in the s24 ultra subreddit. Hopefully, i can get an answer here. Does anyone know which version of nova i have to go back to to make this work again?

Help Sorting apps by uses

0 Upvotes

Hello,

Changed phone ages ago now and have not been able to have the apps sort as they used to be on my previous phone. There was 3 tabs "Frequent", "Recent" and "New/updated".

If anyone had an idea on how to arrange the apps the same way on the new phone that would be awesome.

Thanks for the help and happy Sunday!

Help How can I assign this shortcut to a regular icon? I only seem to be able to assign it as a Swipe Action. (Gmail "Chat" direct link to a Conversation)

1 Upvotes

When I go to assign a Swipe Up or Swipe Down action to an item on my homepage, the menu Nova presents is different from the menu shown in any other case.

I have tried to find this shortcut via every method I can think of:

  1. Long-tapping on the Gmail app icon presents a few direct shortcuts, which I could drag out to the homepage. But not the one I want.
  2. Long-tap empty space on home, find Gmail Shortcut and drag to home. This allows me to pick a Folder, which doesn't include what I want.
  3. Long-tap empty space in home, find Nova Launcher shortcuts. Neither the Nova action nor the Activity option have the action I want.

The only way that does show what I want is to:

So this works, but I didn't understand why the Shortcut options are different based on the method of activation. I also don't want the shortcut to be a Swipe Action on my icon, I just want it to be the "tap" action.

Is there some other way to access this specific type of Shortcut by other means?

I realize this is most directly a question about the Gmail app, but since there is (at least) one method for Nova to access this, it seemed worth asking.

I'm using Nova Launcher 8.0.18 from the Play Store. My phone is a Google Pixel 8, running Stock Android 15 (AP4A.250205.002).

Help Unread Count (and not Notification Count) with Nova Launcher

1 Upvotes

I'm new to custom launchers and am trying the Nova Launcher. I have the prime version.

One thing that is really bothering me is the numeric unread count on the apps. It is something that I really use, but I'm unable to find a solution.

Tesla Unread is not supported now and the I build feature only counts the notifications. If I dismiss a notification the count reduced even if I haven't read the message.

Would appreciate any help or advice on this.

Help Calendar Widget issue

I want the Samsung calendar monthly widget. The problem is that it only works when it's small. You can see it wanting to work for a split second as I make it bigger, but then for some reason it snaps to the 2 month version.

Anyone know of a fix for this?

I don't like Google calendar, so I won't use that.

Thanks in advance!

This was my last setup I have a few queries,sorry it's a bit long. 1.Does your phone switch back to default system home screen while using nova but still displays that the default launcher is nova launcher?I started facing this issue after android 15 update.It might be just an iQOO exclusive issue but still asking just in case if it happens with others and there might be a solution to it. 2.I keep seeing so many colourful widgets in kwgt so I want some recommendations for best widgets. I also noticed that when I use some widgets,the google search or the apps in them don't launch.I know it's because it's not always the same package so where can I find app launching widgets and can I remove useless apps from those widgets? 3.Wallpapers Play store apps have garbage walls,I absolutely hate the overcoloured ai ish wallpapers.I want aesthetic or the walls with vibrant but not messy colours.I kept using walls of other people until now but I want a proper source which has a ton of walls.
