Just an FYI for people who care about this sort of thing, Nova was purchased by a data analytics company about a year ago IIRC.

It seems like a lot of people aren't aware so I figured it's worth mentioning.
just block api2.branch.io in your DNS
To find a link now, I'd have to do the same thing you would do, which is google "nova launcher sold data analytics" or something similar.

Favorite launcher, been using pirated version for years and years. Since I don't sign into the genuine Google Play store (I use MicroG) I never paid for it and couldn't pay with that method. Well today I signed into Play via my Ereader just to pay for it and clear my conscious a little. 😇

It has the most customizations of any launcher. For close family like grandma, I can custom tailor it to their special needs, restrict/hide settings and apps they don't need and then lock the launcher layout so they don't accidenly mess everything up. NovaLauncher widgets have some pretty advanced functions. Definitely fiddle with them if you haven't.

Quote from ema_G :
Google locked out alternative launchers from having full functionality (without root) when they introduced/"fixed" gesture navigation in Android 11/12. That's just the way it is -- put up with the (minor, mostly visual) glitches or stick to stock (or root). It's not a Nova-specific issue.
Did you see an official confirmation of this? Or, are you guessing? If that were the case, it shouldn't be (semi)fixable through the method described in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/NovaLaun...reeze_bug/

Came here to relay the same. I've moved on to iPhone, but this was a great, fast launcher but with the recent privacy concerns and overall improvements in architecture, I don't really see a need.

So what, are you trying to warn us about something?

I love Nova and don't regret paying full price for Prime years ago. I put the free version on my parents' phones, so that every new phone they get looks pretty much the same to them, since they mainly only see/mess with the home screen.

My mom has the bad habit of dramatically swiping everything, instead of tapping, and used to end up with a hot mess of a home screen, with half of her apps either removed or accidentally uninstalled, if not just moved all over the place. Being able to lock down the home screen (icons & widgets) with Nova has prevented sooo many "my Facebook is gone and I didn't do it" phone calls, that Nova is worth it, even if I would have had to pay for that feature. Being able to see the same home screen across manufacturers/models really helps those who have trouble with tech adjust to getting new phones.

And it cuts down on new phone setup time, for me.

This launcher doesn't work with folding phones, ie, it can't differentiate between the front and inside displays.

Just switched from nearly ten years of samsung flagship phones to a motorola edge, and just installed Nova Launcher a few days ago, so this is well timed. I am in.

Same.
Over the years I've evolved my own gestures and phone navigation. It would suck to have to relearn a normal launcher.

Android stopped needing custom launchers years ago.

Seriously, give stock a try if you haven't recently.

I used it a long time ago as my main, but these days Microsoft Launcher is my favorite.

Quote from BigLan :
Yeah, it's had problems with the latest android version and Nova points the finger at Google but they don't seem to have a fix.

Issue is that apps won't display properly after launching, and you've got to go back to the home screen and try again.
Man I have been having issues with YouTube revanced recently where sometimes it works and other times doesn't on my S23 Ultra. It's been driving me crazy so I'll have to dig into this and see if Nova is the issue. Thanks for Sharing this!

Do you have a good video link or written tutorial showing how to utilize Nova to it's fullest capabilities? I always feel that I'm underutilizing it for the most part. Thanks!
