This is the most extensive coverage of Nova Launcher I’ve ever seen! I’m a huge fan, and my hat tips to you for one-upping yourself once again. Awesome as always!
for anyone trying nova with the one ui 6 beta, if you have problems when leaving apps with swipe gestures, try going into "more options" in swipe gestures and select swipe from bottom. This fixed the problem for me.
I've been using Nova since my first Android in 2013 and here I am 10 years later still using this launcher as my daily driver. IMO there's a lot of launchers out there but nothing can compare to the stability and reliability of Nova! 😄
I used Nova laucher for only 2 things: Stacked folders and the old Android 7 icon packs that are pre-installed on the app. It suited me because I was moving from Vodafone V8 phone to Smasung S10+.
I use many extra apps just to add widgets to my home screen. I don't use those apps, so i hide them. Works perfect with lawnchair v2, but i need to buy nova premium to hide apps in nova launcher. Otherwise I wouldve switched to nova 😔😔
Nova is well and truly dead now, having been entirely removed from the Play Store. It's about time. I can't believe Nova lasted this many years and was this popular with how garbage it was.
The issue with Nova for me recently has been how heavy it has become. Of course the flagships run it perfectly, but it no longer runs smoothly on $200 phones. On the other hand, Niagara Launcher, because it's so new and is very focused on performance optimization, runs absolutely perfectly on my phone and I love it.
Issue with Niagara is that its way too expensive compared to others. Saw a video where two years ago it cost 15€, but now its somehow double the price of freaking 30€. 15€ was already steep but now its just absurd. Not like I couldn't afford, but out of principle I ain't putting that amount of money to a launcher when competitors offer much more reasonable price. Nova works just fine with my Nord 3 so I'll just stick with it.
What a video.... Being an apple fanboy for over 10 years and finally jumping to android, this video has blown my mind on what I've been missing in my life. Never again will I return to Apple. Keep up the good work Sam!
Used nova until the point it was acquired by Branch. Moved to Niagara and it's been great except the gesture issue on Samsung devices. (I have an s23u...)
My man....I have been using Nova forever, and I have been on Beta 8 since it rolled out, and there are several things you just showed me which I had no idea about. Thanks for a fantastic video.
@@nerdakash4920 So you use the world's largest online advertising company google's product youtube, maybe also use the second largest online advertising company meta's product instagram, facebook, are not afraid of these two companies tracking you.

@@nerdakash4920 I hear you, and I have thought about that. But the reality is I'm using a Google Pixel, running Android and Google services. So worrying about Branch seems like closing the barn door after the horse is gone.
@@auschang I'm telling you what's right. Stay happy sharing your data with a small company that isn't even recognized by the world. Only few bunch of people😂
@@auschang We have other launchers that are arguably better than Nova that's why I'm telling ppl to switch.. If we wouldn't have other advanced launchers like Nova then we would have used Nova
Been using Nova 8 since getting my S23 Ultra in February and it's remained my default since. Have always used Nova but stopped using it last year once the animations became a nightmare. Thankfully, that's no longer a problem. Long live Nova 💪🏻
So the gesture navigation animation drawback has been fixed in A13 1UI 5.1? Just curious because I used to be a Nova user until it became janky and I went back to the stock launcher.
@@alexalexander1749On my S23 Ultra, the animations for opening and closing apps are fantastic. Can't guarantee that this will be the case for all phones though.
I've had a sad problem with Nova Launcher that resulted when opening apps: there was always a 1 second delay to open a app after going to the home page, that eventually drove me crazy so I went back to the home launcher (oneplus launcher btw, which is actually a good home launcher nonetheless)
@@iGadgetAdvisor Kinda frustrating :/ Didn't found a workaround to use the launcher without this issue, which is possibly not a performance problem since my oneplus has a snapdragon 870 processor
I used Nova as a beta tester for years and years. I miss it but until they have a proper folding phone support with either 2 optional layout or the ability for 2 screens to combine as one, I can't use it.
As much as I like (and use) Nova (currently on version 7), I'm *still* waiting on support/optimization for folding phones! 😭 Currently using Z Fold 3 and will probably upgrade to either the Fold 5 or the Pixel Fold once they're both released, but the lack of optimization is killing me. Lol.
@octolockg5059 nope. At this point, not sure if it's worth the upgrade. The only major difference between my fold 3 and the Fold 5 is new chip and slightly better main camera which isn't important to me. Everything else is pretty much identical. The Pixel Fold is more interesting to me right now.
@octolockg5059 depends on the market you're in. I'm in the US. My only options for foldables are Samsung and Google. Pixel Fold is the same price the Galaxy Fold 5 will be when it launches soon.
Great video! I love Nova and paid for the premium version early on, never regretted it! Though now I’m realizing just how much I’ve been missing… thank you for enlightening me Sam! This app to apk converter is insane… I’ve been looking for something like this to preserve my favorite icon pack, Pixon, that is no longer available but still installed on my device. This will come in clutch!
Keep in mind that there are still problems with gesture navigation and third party launchers. There's a small delay when going home from an app and being able to open another one. It's an android thing and the nova devs can't really do anything about it until google does
I haven't been using Nova Launcher since OneUI 4 was released. The app exit animation on Samsung Phone is still not optimized. I slowly grow on the usage of stacked widget. OneUI 5.1 fulfilled almost 90% of my needs but I still miss the extensive gesture on Nova Launcher. One more thing that I hope Nova team to work on is the icon packs. OneUI will change the icon to darker color when dark mode is toggled.
Still no way to sort apps in the app drawer other than by alphabetical order... My work around is to rename all my apps by 01Settings 02Phone, 03etc in the numerical order I want them to be. I also like to have horizontal scroll and all my apps in 3 rows stacked at the bottom of the screen for easy access with the thumb.
Great video. The quality of the production and the 21:9 aspect ratio adds to the overall enjoyment from listening to the helpful info. Keep up the good work. 👍
Hey Sam! I was wondering if I should move to Nova Launcher or keep using Microsoft launcher. I just want fluidity and more hours usage on battery. Much love
Don't use Nova if you care about your privacy.They share data with third part companies. The best option for you is total launcher.. the learning curve is a little bit hard but it will not disappoint you. Using it since 1 year with heavy customisation and it had taken only 25 mb storage n never takes space in RAM u will save more battery
Really good video, I've used Nova for years and if i use anothet launcher it won't compare! I have been wishing the devs would update it as it looked soooo old fashioned..so Thank you guys !
Almost all of these are existing features that have been around for years. Both nova 7,8 have been so hyped up but have honestly made no difference to everyday usage for me and I'm sure for most people. The new improvements to search seems useful but that's pretty much all that's useful, rest is just look and feel of the app.
Independently set icons will not change/ adapt colour after changing the wallpaper image. Reapply icon pack or restart Nova doesn't help either! I miss something in the settings? On Niagara launcher and Lawnchair debug versions it works well.
Honestly if I can't swipe from the left from a launcher I'm not gonna use it, smart launcher has been on my phone since the note 3 and honestly can't find any other that do that
Hey Sam. Great video as usual. Would you recommend Nova Launcher 8 over the Samsung UI latest version.? I have Nova Launcher Prime on my phone and opted to stick with Samsung UI hoping that Nova would update.
user, 10+ yrs, love it except one huge, ongoing thing. backups don't save/restore contact shortcuts, which i have about 30, and lose with every android update, and have to recreate one by one. would really really love to find a solution to that problem.
Mine developed a bug where it wouldn't show the icon images in folders on multiple phones so I moved to Microsoft launcher and it's been great. Might give it another go. Thanks Sam
Nova, I'm a Prime member. Please, please, please... if there's 1 thing to add to the Nova8, please allow us to use a gesture (like 2-finger swipe down) to take a screenshot. That would make life so so so much easier for me. Thank you.
I hope they add a padding customizer for the app drawer setting, I really like the list type app drawer, but the padding is too close to the left border I'd be nice to make a look similar to Niagara IMO
Oh my god, I was just looking for this video since yesterday. I have literally typed nova launcher sam beckman in the search bar and boom today is a new video on the channel. 😱
Damn. Installed Nova 7 on my Pixel 5 and found the experience a laggy mess. Installed the Nova 8 beta and this is miles more fluid... Thanks bro for this video
Amazing high quality in content and the video itself. Thanks a lot! I now want to change from iOS to an Android lol. The only thing that made me sad is that for being able to have the discount, hence pay less on Nova, I first need to subscribe to your channel, hence pay more. You might look for a deal where you get paid a small commission for the amount of people using your discount and give it free. Anyways, amazing video, thanks.
Great video. I'm a beta user and my app didn't update to this beta version (any info why?) But thanks to you I've updated to nova 8 and was impressed. Can you comment on battery performance with this new version?
Whats the deal with people saying its been bought out by an analytical company branch?? Are they bad guys? I use nova but im not clued up about this purchase
I have been using Nova since he put it out on XDA before it was in the store. I have been a beta tester for years and still don't have version 8 available to me on my Pixel 8 pro with Android 14. Also have been a prime user for years. Love Nova launcher.
Unfortunately I don't think majority of the people commenting realise that Branch brought Nova. It was similar to QuickPic years ago which was the best photo gallery app. Then got bought out and turned to shit!
I have been using Nova Launcher from 2014..and slowly get all updates But now it's stopped after Dec 2021 and no more updates in play store... So I moved to a different one
The lack of Icon Notification Badges is the only thing I haven't liked about Nova Launcher. I started installing Microsoft Launcher... Since it now has Icon Notification Badges I might need to give another look on my next phone.
"The best launcher I have ever used... I have used several launchers before this, and although I would switch back to the default after a few days, now I have been using Nova Launcher for six months."
I cannot find the "legacy swipe expand notifications" setting and the Labs experimental features on the current version of the launcher. Where to find them ?
Great content, thanks! Quick question, are you aware of a way of activating Gestures in Nova 8? More specifically in a Xiaomi 13 with MIUI 14 (Android 13). Cheers...
Why don't they include stack widget. I find this feature very useful. Recently I have switched from OnePlus to Samsung and I really loved this in Samsung launcher. I wish there was a way that I could sell my nova launcher 😂
Is it possible to make windows phone like layout with Nova? Or just a home screen only setup (no app drawer)? It's possible to move apps one by one to the homescreen. It would be helpful if there is an option to just move all of the icons and arrange them.
I'm currently using nova which I didn't think I would be using. It's been a few days since I started using it. Not bad it has some things I definitely would change like it's setting menu and even that line up of options.
Why does my Nova launch Prime notifications blocked? I see no pop-ups visible on any of my icons apps . I cannot enable them. It won't allow me even though I paid for PRIME. SMH Thank You.
About Gestures and Input, the double tap to lock, am I the only one experiencing kinda buggy when double tapping to lockscreen? Using Nothing Phone (1)

Thanks to Nova team for fixing the janky animations. That is the only reason I switched back to my default laucher.
The funny thing about nova is they have not changed their feature images on the play store so it looks like Android 4
How do I turn on the animations mentioned near the start?
I miss Buzz Launcher! Customization and themes library on that launcher was unbeatable!

I used nova form the time i had a galaxy S3....One thing i would like it to have is a way to auto hide the navigation buttons.
I mean right now im using "minimalist launcher" extremely underrated, looks very clean, very functional and is free
Nova needs to find a way to hide the bottom bar. Most devices don't have an option to hide it in their settings.
Why does my Nova launch Prime notifications blocked? I see no pop-ups visible on any of my icons apps . I cannot enable them. It won't allow me even though I paid for PRIME. SMH Thank You.
