What are /r/NovaLauncher's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Here is an app that does exactly that, though it's a separated independent drawer app therefore is not integrated with the launcher

Play store link

I like the idea too

Wallpaper: typed "pure white" on google images

Icon pack: appstract

Widgets: KWGT (Custom-made)

Font: Google Sans (formerly Product Sans)

The bar above the icons widens according to the battery's level, up to the width taken by the group of icons

The issue isn't with Nova supporting the gestures but Google supporting third party launchers. From what I've read it seems Google focused on getting gestures working with the Pixel Launcher. Google is working on the gestures supporting third party launchers and has said there will eventually be an update released.

That being said, I'm a big fan of the gestures and was perfectly fine with the way they were working in beta 4. Breaking gestures for third party launchers in beta 5 was extremely frustrating. I made my own gestures setup using two apps instead of fighting with the settings or settling with pixel launcher. I use the following to mimic Android 10 gestures for the time being:

Gesture Control (for the bottom bar and getting rid of the nav bar) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.conena.navigation.gesture.control

and Edge Gestures https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.edgegestures

With these two apps it's almost identical to the full gestures of Android 10, without having to turn them on all the time.

I learned everything on r/androidthemes

First i use Nova launcher. You don't have to, but it helps you make it look more "clean". You're able to disable the notification bar and bottom buttons so you're literally left with nothing but the wallpaper.

For the wallpapers i like to use amoled wallpapers but you can use anything that has room for widgets. The wallpaper is used here is from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Hastamev.AmoledWallsFree

For the widgets, i use KWGT. They offer a free version and you download designers with more widgets. But i use the paid version. The widget I'm using here is by Wolfie #143 it takes time to figure out how to change colors, fonts, add things and remove things etc but it gets easy.

For the icons i used hexanet

All of that is from the playstore

Why not search the Play Store, given the first suggested term when you search "Material KLWP" sounds like what you're looking for?

Google Wallpapers has some great landscapes and you can have it change every day automatically for you if you'd like. My favorite was the of the Earth and it rotated as the hours went by in the day, also showing your geolocation on the globe. This isn't my image but like this

To add to this, the default icon are fucking horrible. They want circle icons and the solution is to take the existing icons and just put them in a white circle? It looks ugly a sin.

I use the moonshine icon pack, but if I wanted all circle icons, I'd take something like Click UI over this.

Here are the stuff which i used 👇🏻

Made With Nova Launcher!

Free 033 from the Huk kwgt pack.

I actually removed the white background in the kwgt editor. I also scaled and positioned the objects to fit my dimensions. I tweaked it to fit 1x6 in nova launcher.

Or, if you want to have something like a gesture navigation bar try this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xda.nobar&hl=en_US

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ddt.free.icon.packs&hl=en_US
It's called Saturate. Little gem I found and never found a reason to get rid of. I've always used browns and tans, so the pack is my go-to. Glad you like it.

Try using this energy ring thingy on your punch hole and hide the notification bar.

You'll get a better look in my Opinion, enjoy your s10

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kustom.widget

This app allows you to load custom widget packs. Once you have that, the widgets I'm using are from Andromeda Kwgt and huk KWGT on the Play Store.

Spheroid - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.indigomadina.spheroid

Noizy (and the maker's other packs, they're updated weekly) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.patrykgoworowski.noizyicons

Bottom row is just a dock alone. I use 2 homescreens. 1 as you can see and 1 for my calendar. The icon pack is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.natewren.flightlite

Thanks for your interest!

Thanks :) There are links Icon pack: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.edzondm.linebit Wallpaper: https://plus.google.com/photos/photo/111336771181934375342/6547968334619652002?icm=true&iso=false&ftu=false

It looks like you need a 3rd party app to have a search widget. Firefox used to have one, but they removed it in v58.

Here's the one I am using now.

Install it. Then enable the Dock search bar in Nova, press & hold it, select Replace, choose the SearchBar Ex widget. I'm sure you'll handle adding DuckDuckGo after that, check SearchBar Ex's settings. Enjoy your non-Google search from the Dock. :)

My DDG search bar

For the icon pack you can use Retrorika and for the launcher either you can try xOS Launcher or can give the Nova a little bit of look like that of iOS (but you have to do it on your own or can search it).

Well, that is possible, but not with the tools I have posted (as far as I know). The way I have it setup now is that I have configured an applet in IFTTT to change the wallpaper to the dark one when the sun sets and back to the light one when the sun rises. I'm sure it's probably possible to configure more advanced behavior with something like Tasker, but I've not played with that yet.

That GMD immersive app is pretty bad.

Try this

It's doesn't require root, just one simple ADB command to enable immersive mode and gives you a Quick Settings toggle for it as well.

What phone are you using? You're looking for something similar to this I believe.

I'm rooted on a Nexus 6P and with immersive mode I can make my homescreens look as such.

The wallpaper is from Unsplash. https://unsplash.com/photos/8xznAGy4HcY?utm_source=resplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=api-credit Widget pack is Pixxy KWGT( music widget) and the widget at the top, I've made that by my own.

The other thing before uninstalling it, is to disable any gestures. I'm assuming you're using the Google Play Store version and the next step would be to contact the development team. http://novalauncher.com

Hi, To disable status bar icons I use Super Status Bar and System UI Tuner but you will need to enable elevated permissions with ADB, it's not difficult and won't damage your device, but you will need a PC or Apple Mac computer, Google how to do it there's lots owalksthroughghs, XDA's article is the best if you're on Windows.

Simple elegant and clean animated KLWP theme, it comes in a multipack currently sitting at 5 themes and growing!

Nova is highly recommended!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=windroidklwptheme.kustom.pack

Widget : Shadow kwgt Icon Pack : Whicons Launcher : Nova launcher

People use Kustom Widgets for custom widgets. It's a bit complicated but once you get the hang of it it's pretty easy. (They also have a subreddit if you want to check that out, r/kustom )

There's also icon packs that change the looks of your icons. Whicons is a good one if you're looking for a minimalistic look. But there are lots of icon packs that you can choose if you want something else.

I have never been able to get Nova over 6% battery usage and that was because I was extensively customizing the launcher. I think it is Accubattery that may be the problem here. Not saying that Accubattery is causing the rise in power but if I were you I'd check what kind of benchmarking is Accubattery is using...is it an actual usage or a predicted one? Is it an accumulated usage? Accumulated over how much time etc. Usually, I avoid using third-party tools to tweak my phone's battery state on day to day usage. Most apps are bloated and some may even impair your battery. I recently discovered Samsung Goodlock through the Nice Lock app, there's a battery module that gives quite accurate usage statistics. Or I'd go with a benchmarking app like Antutu or 3D Mark

Try a factory reset...sometimes the phone pick up some dirt along usage, sometimes it is our own tinkering...

Edit: As for the accessibility screen lock... To see something you have to add the gesture tap to lock screen to actually see the accessibility function...I think

I should have posted the pic but I cant edit the post so ill link it here

Wallpaper - WallsPy

Top widget - Odisea (Widget 10)

Bottom widget - Neon Rock (Neon Rock 006)

Custom color code. I use Pixolor to pick up the color code from my wallpaper, put it in customization>accent color>customization>color code. Then I change the shade to my liking.

Thanks :) It's mainly this theme for KWLP combined with Launchboard. Then with KWLP you can change the shortcuts and names as you like :)

It's always better to use the App where he uploads his works.
Abstruct has the original Oneplus Wallpapers with some additions like the Wallpapers from Paranoid Android and other works. Worth using.

Wallpaper is from Crayon Icon Pack: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jndapp.cartoon.crayon.iconpack

Widgets are customized from Pixxy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pixxy.kustom.pack

The icon packs name is Lines. (Paid version). (Free version)

I found this on the web

This one is free. This one is paid.

Neither are exactly what OP has, but both are pretty stylish.

Try the app Custom Navigation Bar

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.paphonb.systemuituner&hl=en_US

You can't do it with Nova. Try FNG

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid

You have to run certain commands from adb on your PC.

The white line on the top is a battery meter.

Also the "dots" are actually icons from the quantum dots icon pack. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.linkeddesigns.quantumdots

I use them as the "icon" for an item folder, the left one being calls and the right one being messaging. Tap to open dialler and WhatsApp, swipe up to open a small menu of options like direct dials on the call side and Gmail and messages on the messaging side.

I got it from walli. Just install and search for the term 'astronaut'. There are plenty of other similarly themed wallpapers too.

Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shanga.walli

thank you!

the icon pack is Zwart: Direct link to the play store

and the wallpaper you can find it here!

I suspect it may have been removed due to this, in which case you should not download it from a third party source. The icon pack I was using was on that list as well, so I uninstalled it. I ended up using the Pixelicious icon pack, which is pretty similar to the one you are using.

Here is the image if you ever want to use it. I have no idea who to credit it too though. And I use a daily Bible quote on mine called Bible Verse of the Day

Maybe Nova is not the answer. There are some launcher for seniors, with big buttons, like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.simplymobile.simplephone

Search on the store. Not only for seniors but for disabled people too. Most of them allows a user to set everything up and then blockit so the actual user can't mess with the layout unintentionally.

For those of you wondering, here are the specifications:

Nova launcher, obviously. Line bit icon pack. Both the top and bottom widgets are from ornate for kwgt, although the top one has been customized a little bit by me. Wall from AmoledWalls. It's called ring. Here's the playstore link:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Hastamev.AmoledWallsFree

Download this KWGT. A widget maker. You can then add a area on your desktop where you can putt custom widgets. Then download this Widget pack i used. And pick what you want.

This is my current setup. I'm relatively new to the game but already love it. This one uses KWGT but I'm working on a few with KLWP. (The buttons/icons are all very clean... Screenshot res messed them up)

Setup:

• Phone: Galaxy Note 8
• Launcher: Nova
• Widget: Modified widget from Wolfie for KWGT
• Icons Lines - Icon Pack

Fucntions:

Each of the sections of the widget opens their relative apps:

• Clock, Calendar, Weather, Google Search
• Batter Progress Bar opens Samsung Internet

Bottom-left three icons (left to right):

• Phone, Messages, Redditisfun

Swipe up: App drawer

Swipe down: Notifications

Double tap: Recent apps

Double tap-swipe up: Google assistant

Please give me feedback and recommendations!

Yes, I switched to customized pixel launcher with Google Discover and at a glance widget. Works perfectly and I miss nothing from Nova

I'm a huge fan of flight lite: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.natewren.flightlite&hl=en_US

Thanks. This seems to only be after my 8.0 update. I am really doing nothing different than before and I do not use a badge counter because I found in the past this did cause some battery drain.

Here are my specs courtesy of Joey for Reddit app.

I like monochromatic icons that contrast with the background because I like the neatness of the look. Personally I use the Whicons pack and it ends up like this.

Its from an app called Seven Time. In the app you can choose from many free themes like this one. Curved Light is the one tht I am using. Here's the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codescape.seventime

Have fun!

It all depends on what style you are looking for. For icon packs I personally recommend Delta icon pack. They have 1400 handcrafted icons with a smooth minimalistic style that I find amazing. Plus it's free for beta testing!

Try it out for yourself! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=website.leifs.delta

I think it looks pretty good but I personally would use this app to blur the background a bit to make the icons pop out more. It's just a preference though so obviously you should do whatever you feel looks best.

This is well on it's way to becoming my favorite reddit post. Thanks a ton, I've scowred the internet looking for a mockup widget like this, and the best I could find was Business Calendar 2 which worked pretty well as it would give me my calendar for the entire day with a clean look as well but it didn't have the look of the pixel 2 widget that I was looking for.

Background is from r/amoledbackgrounds group https://www.reddit.com/r/Amoledbackgrounds/comments/77dku5/neon_frames_1774x2364/ Icons are icon studio. It's a free and easy roll your own generator https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ginlemon.iconpackstudio

You could use something like Minimalistic Text, and set it up yourself. It's can be a bit complicated to set up, but it's very flexible.

It's likely caused by your stock lock screen. I know on Samsung devices you have to go into phone's settings to change the lockscreen wallpaper, but you have to download an image to your gallery. If you set the lockscreen wallpaper and then change your Nova wallpaper, you should get what you're looking for. If that's a hassle to you(which it is to me), you should try AcDisplay. You can just set the wallpaper you want in Nova and it'll transfer over.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achep.acdisplay

if you are starting from scratch, I prefer the lawnchair launcher it has enough customization options and it is completely free, no in-app purchases and shit, and for widgets, KWGT has few free widget packs too like the Huk for KWGT which has 200 widgets to choose from. I think that is enough for the pixel-like setup, and my favorite icon pack is Delta, Adapticon lite, and Minty icon pack all of them are free. currently, lawnchair 2 not available in play store so you have to install manually .here is the link- https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/deletescape/lawnchair/
