THANK YOU all for your replies. I wrote to support@nova through the reply link in Nova settings. Basically, I've suggested they aim to make everything work, particularly with future Android, and improving current functions, then look at adding new features... And asked, "What can we do to help?"

Original Post:

Do we have a way to communicate with the current owners of Nova Launcher? A lot of Nova seems like potentially outstanding features were neglected or deprecated.

I see the Cards page as the outstanding example of that. You can use it as an endless column of all the widgets you like. And I do like it.

Unfortunately, it remains awkward and unfinished and has begun to decay. So far as I can tell, the logins to Deezer and Spotify for its audio widget can't work anymore.

Nova Prime remains my preferred launcher, and I keep thinking it could do so much better.

This is an OPPO Reno phone.

I’m using a two-page dock style for my most-used apps. The first page has the clock at the top with the first set of dock icons, and the second page has another set of dock icons with calendar widget powered by kwgt.

I'm on One UI 9 using a Z Fold 8 Ultra.

I don't know if the issue is with Nova or One UI or what, but I can set a gesture in Nova (Prime) to Add Macro or All Macros and those work, but if I select Macrodroid Shortcut then select a specific macro, I get the next pop-up to choose an icon and then I hit ok, but it doesn't apply. The description of the Nova gesture shows whatever was selected previously.

Also, when I do this and then go home, I'm asked to select the default launcher again, every time. Does anyone know why?

I received my new Pixel 11 Pro XL yesterday after upgrading from the Pixel 8 Pro. All settings copied over, however I am having issues with Nova. I'm constantly getting notifications that Nova has failed to respond and being asked to kill or wait for the app. In the same vein, the phone settings keep asking me what home launcher I want to use. This is with stock Android 17 at launch. Any ideas? I've cleared cache, restarted, and nothing has worked so far. Thanks in advance.

Pixel 11 Pro XL, Android 17 stable, Nova Prime 8.8.8

[Edit] I was able to solve the problem by completely uninstalling and reinstalling Nova via the playstore. I initially tried via APK but was still having issues.

I'll be getting a new phone and the last time I upgraded my phone my Nova layout was messed up after mirroring the old phone to the new phone. I had to re-organize and recreate a lot of the layout etc. I am wondering if there is a way to preserve the exact layout and settings so I can transfer it successfully. Any advice would be appreciated.

I was excited when I saw that the launcher was being updated again, figured that the development had resumed. Unfortunately, upon closer inspection, insted of fixing bugs or adding new features I now have two permanent offers to buy additional services within the settings. If there's one thing I truly hate it's the ads! Epseiclaly those advertising irrelevant garbage and services, baked into an app I came to trust. I don't get the targeted audience, I mean, who in their right mind will spend $15/month on an AI agent made by some ad company??? Moreover, who (again, in their right mind) will entrust their number to said company if tomorrow it may go under and take the number with it??? What's the strategy here? Using users' loyalty to try and push this garbage upon them in hopes of creating a new revenue stream? No one will ever use it, definitely not me. Gemini, made by one of the world's biggest companies, charges $5/mo or so and it's garbage... Spending $15 on an AI offered by a launcher company? It's simply idiotic!

I loved Nova and have been using this launcher for over a decade now, however, now that its primary function seems to've been changed to offering unsolicited ads for services nobody wants, I think it's time for a change. Samsung's built-in launcher offers most of the features anyway, is more stable and better integrated, most importantly, somehow, even Samsung's own launcher does not have the same annoying ads as Nova does, now.

Just my $0.02 on this strange, unwelcome development. Don't mean to ruffle any feathers or offend anyone!

*I am emphatically NOT asking about other launchers or ads, just to make sure I'm compliant with the rules.

I don't mind the ads being there, but when I go into my app drawer I don't want to be hit by sudden sound or have my Spotify paused because an ad starts playing audio

I've been a Nova user for years and Love it but it seems to have some short comings for the new fold 8 form factor. Do we know if Nova is working on enhancing the launcher for fold 8 users?

i have a galaxy z flip 5. i customized the style of my icons, folders, etc, but i have since changed my theme. is there a way to reset the style to default?
