Nova Launcher killing the battery! Help!

Hi Guys,

I have been using MI5 for over a month now and have noticed recently that there has been a real rapid battery drain on my phone even though on idle mode. And to my surprise, the top battery consumer is Nova Launcher. Now this is happening just since last week. There has been quite a time since I have been using Nova Prime (even on my earlier phones) and never has such bug been spotted.

Is there anyone else who has faced similar issue? If so, can someone help me with the solution?

(P.S. The app is not updated or something, I have tried clearing cache / data, even tried uninstalling-reinstalling).

Please help since Nova is my daily driver.

Thanks,
APA

Nova Launcher on OP3 ?

I have nova Prime, have used Nova for years of phones. The one issue I have with it is no shadow feature on the stock icon them.. You simply can't have a colorful or brighter style wallpaper if you don't have shadows !
Does anyone else use nova launcher and agree/disagree and if not nova, what do you use instead of nova for shadow enabled icons ?

About Nova Launcher

Hey guys, I'm about to buy the Huawei Mate 8 and I was wondering; If I install Nova Launcher (and personalize to my preferences the phone - I want all my apps in a place, not in the homescreen), does it remove some important functionality? I mean, I want to use the fingerprint scanner and the camera app, I haven't used an Android phone for about 2 years or more so that's why I'm asking things that you might find obvious.

Thanks for your help :) :good: .

[Q] Is there a way to show Huawei Themes Icons on Nova Launcher? (No Root)

I'd like to know if there is a way to show the stock huawei icons which come with the themes, because I see that in other launches the icons can be aplied, but no in Nova in non root devices

Nova Launcher Customization on OnePlus 3

Light Speed Animations
If you a quick-silver animation fan you will surely love this tweak. We bet you will see a remarkable change in animation performance.
Nova Settings > Look & Feel and then tap on Animation speed.
Now tweak at your will.


Hide Dirty and Misused Apps
Android Apps are cluttering the App drawers and reducing the productivity of App drawers. Now in Nova launcher hide all the unused Apps from the App drawer. To call back any apps you can use inbuilt app search function in Nova launcher to reach even hidden Apps. Cool right?
You can find these settings at Nova Settings > Apps & Widget drawers > Drawer groups section > Hide Apps

Two-paged Dock

This is me personal favorite setting in Nova launcher. It is great experiences having 2 pages in your home screen dock. In here I can have 2 rows of Apps of my choice. To access different pages just swipe the dock and you are in the new row.
To access this tweak go to Nova Settings > Dock > Dock pages.


Gestures
If you are a Nova Launcher fan surely you might be well aware of awesome gestures it has. But everyone just misses one secret gesture. It can be integrated with above tweak too. Just long tap an icon and select Edit options. Set swipe action to any specified app or App search. I personally prefer App search for the home button.
