Did you set the launcher as default with the routine?

hey how u did that with bixby routines tutorial please
as tasker version kills the launcher on the outer screen and inner hav to go home to relaunch the launcher

Nova and Lawnchair
I use them both. Whichever launchers you want to use, but Nova needs to be one of them because it gives you the option of picking a launcher
One Bixby routine for Folded - action: Nova set launcher
One Bixby routine for Unfolded - action: Nova set launcher
So in either scenario you'll get the dialog asking you which launcher you want as default and you'll be taken to it.

can u explain..
because it asks every time

This is my routine.. You don't need to do the font size part in routine that is just my extra... last thing gesture setting on Nova select top home action..check box.. Once set up when asked on the inner screen pick always default Nova..
Edit: app continuity is off as it will kill app on routine when open / close

Thanks for posting I was just about to edit my post to say I have continued apps off..
Edit.. Also you could just not run routines and use the gesture in Nova to trigger the launcher on outside for on the go apps when you want to use app continuity

Hope samsung give a solution to apply different launcher coz both screwn layout is different and if we use dame launcher also both tbe screen looks different...

This is the setup I've been using and app continuity works fine. There is that little 1 sec switch but the 2 launchers function well. Microsoft for the front and nova for the inner. Also I use 1 hand operation + in good lock.

How to get the stock Clock/Weather on Nova Launcher?

Trying to use Nova and missing the weather widget - how would I go about getting it within Nova? Can't seem to find it
I don't think you can. My last Samsung phone was a note 3 and you couldn't add some of the widgets to a 3rd party launcher. Weather was one of them.
zooper widgets.... There are a handful out that match it 100% already.

Not possible. If you got Trident when it was free in Google Play there's a version of it in there.

I was able to use the HTC sense widget in Nova
Zooper gave me very low quality images
XWidget on the other hand is perfect
I use beautiful weather widget with nova
Download Xwidget from the play store. It has all like-for-like S8 widgets, and most importantly it pulls data from Accuweather, rather than obscure OpenweatherMap in Zooper. You can also set a click event to open up the full weather. (Have to add the weather app on the homescreen first, from the weather settings)
Can't post screenshots, as first post, sorry

First of all go to the actual samsung weather setting and enable "add weather on apps screen
Then, on your xwidget's weather widget :
Click on it-menu will open
Click on Settings and About
Click on "click event "
Choose "open app"
Choose samsung weather as an app
Presto, samsung weather will open upon click on that widget

Revert back to stock launcher, access the weather from it, add "show weather on apps screen"
Then revert to Nova, and you'll have an actual weather button in your app drawer.
The rest as per my post above.
Hope this helps

Worked like a charm...You are the man ty!
If you wanna add the weather/temp on the search bar, unlock the Labs settings in Nova and enable the option for it under the Labs settings. Clicking on the temp opens the Google weather app, not sure if you can default it to something else yet.
"It's really simple, actually - while in Nova's settings menu, hold volume down for 2-3 seconds. You'll see a toast notification letting you know that Labs was successfully enabled. Similarly, if you wish to disable the new menu for any reason, just hold volume up for 2-3 seconds."

Nova vs stock

On the s8, wanted to get opinions of people whom tried the stock launcher for some time, then moved to NOVA launcher,
Do YOU see a difference in lag experience between the two launchers on the s8 ?
(Not worried about customization differences)
I started with nova prime but slowly over time have gone to TW, it's not near as bad as it used to be. Didn't notice much lag on either launcher but I've disabled quite a few services.
Nova launcher is much smoother everywhere but I back to TouchWiz. Love the new TouchWiz.
Sorry Nova you not my preferable for this moment.
I have been using the Nova Prime since its release.
I always install it on any smartphone first of all. However, this time I gave a small chance to the new Samsung UI and was a few days with it.
No way, the Nova is way better/smoother.
Futhermore, the Nova launcher equalizes
the performance of any smartphone. For instance, my previous Note 3 and 4 got the same smoothness with the Nova as compared to the S8+.
Nova for me; much more flexibility and control of my home screen. widget placement is very limited with TW, not so with Nova. and now Nova allows you to swipe left and show Google Now. my (simple/clean) work layout is below . the only drawback using Nova vs TW is limited (if any) use of TW widgets.

On Your homescreen screenshot,
- Which weather widget is that on the top right corner?
- Is the Google Icon on Top left a part of the Wallpaper, or is it a Widget?
- Which Clock, and Agenda widget is it on the bottom left?
I Really like the way you have organized your homescreen. Neat and Clean, and quite informative as well.

weather graphic and temp is widget from Today Weather app. location and current condition is a custom Zooper Widget.

this is also a custom, but simple Zooper widget; it's comprised of a bitmap that when pressed, launches Google Now

clock is a single Zooper widget using the Samsung Clock font. the agenda is also a Zooper widget that includes the next alarm, and my next appointment. it uses predefined xml code included in the app.

thanks for the compliment. this is basically all i need to see when i'm working. as an FYI, the navbar buttons are from a substratum theme and @Tigerhoods 35pt high navbar overlay. also, my Nova desktop grid is 16x11; this allows for precise placement of widgets so i can get the widget layout exactly like i want it.
Going into developer options and cutting the animation speed helps a ton without sieging up the interface
nova is way better than stock!
Nova FTW
Nova for me! Every time I get a new phone I right away root and remove/uninstall stock launcher and have Nova as my main. I LOVE the fact that I can double tap the home screen to lock the screen (less pressing the button - less wear on button). On top of that it's just an over all smooth and fast experience with Nova
Thanks for the comments, and im aware of all the advantages nova has, But intrested in overall lag experience between the two launchers on the s8
Stock is gorgeous. Who says otherwise is just plain idiot who haven't tried all the options.

I want to use nova, but it's still have to much battery drain compared to touch wiz. ever since nova 5.0 it has had problem with battery drain, had that issue on my HTC 10 also. such shame, cus there are much better customazion on nova

I tried stock, nova and pixel launchers. It's very clear that stock is the winner.
I also asked my iPhone friend what he thinks is the best one not knowing which is which and not knowing anything about them, and he chose stock as well.
Edit: spelling
I tried TouchWiz but it doesn't allow me to resize my widget. And I don't believe I can achieve this setup with TouchWiz.

Just wanted to hop in to say - thank you!
Still, the phone would need sooo much to be even close in actual EPD usability to Y2, but I am grateful for anyone that manages to develop things like this. It sure helps.
As KVB71 pointed out, a clear mode would be nice, or some way to force clear rerender on the epd in general. But as I said, anything moving Y3 a bit forward is great. I mean, I have no idea why only yotaphone uses this concept and no "AAA mainstream manufacturers", but ifthe concept stays as flat as it is with naked Y3, it is as good as dead. So yeah, your launcher helps, thank you
Great

If one uses *#*#9738#*#* on the dialer to get into mirror mode, the fonts on the EDP are much better.
Does anybody have an idea how to get into mirror mode with a single click?
Good morning. On the e-ink screen, in mirror mode, after short time it goes into lockscreen. Is there a way to stay Always on?
you can change epd mode with epd menu button twice.

Question Need Recommendation for Home Launcher

Hi All,
I've been using Nova Launcher for years on every Android phone I had (didn't update it to ver 7). Now with S22 Ultra version 6 is baggy so I tried Nova 7, but I can't stand it, It's very slow and stuttering the developer doesn't seem responsive. It's ruin the new beast experience.
Any recommendation for an alternative good launcher?

Using Nova here still as I couldnt find any alternative.
As for the stuttering, Go to developer settings and set all transition scaled to 0.5x
Then run the below commands (individually, one after the other) in a ADB Shell and restart the device.
settings put global window_animation_scale 0.10
settings put global transition_animation_scale 0.10
settings put global animator_duration_scale 0.10

It's always been pretty good. BUT Nova and stock both allow the google feed as "far left" screen. Has the MS launcher ever allowed it yet or do they still force theirs on you?

Microsoft continuously updates their Launcher, and it now has those features that you mentioned. I can hide apps, and I can have as small is a 12 x 12 icon grid.

You can hide their feed, though I have never tried to do so and replace it with a Google feed, but you should be ever do that. And you can always add pages and pin your own Google feed.

Google feed is a special page. and I just installed the latest beta of the launcher. All you can do is "remove" their feed, but you can't replace it with the Google feed.
So, eh. Can't replace oneuI or nova yet for me still.
Microsoft Launcher eats your battery more quickly than others..
Nova is best launcher.
Lawnchair 12 beta is also good basic launcher.
One UI is an excellent launcher.
You won't find anything that has the combination of speed, efficiency and customization it does.

There isn't a problem across the the OS/Apps only with Nova (also tried other launchers and everything was ok) everything smooth as butter. I have the SD version. Don't see a reason to change the settings.

There are some compromises. Many of One UI's features are better than Nova plus the Goodlock family of apps.
Try using Digi Clock with built in quad switches for opening apps. Goodlock One Handed Operation plus will also do that from anywhere on the side panels. I use both. All my frequently used apps are instantly available.
No problems with Nova 7 for me
I hate that we may be hijacking this thread through this launcher debate, but one of the things that I like about the Microsoft Launcher is that it allows me to backup all my settings and use the same on my tablet. Also, I love the expandable dock that allows three rows of icons. Does Nova or One UI offer those features?

Nova has been able to backup settings and use on other devices for years. Not sure about the expandable dock to 3 rows.
Love Nova on the S22 Ultra - smooth as butter.
Been on Nova 7 since day one. No issues. Had a few issues on my fold using the big screen, but on the 22 Ultra it has been great.
suggest to try Action Launcher. highly customizable, google feed page, fully working widget stack resizable, quick and polished, low impact on battery.

Still need the google nova companion to achieve this or did Nova 7 finally eliminate the need for that?
Nova runs great on my exynos s22 ultra

Question Is there anyway to fit more app icons on the home screen the default

Hello, I have a Galaxy S10+ and I am setting up my new Pixel 7 Pro, but I have a problem, I have set the font size and display size to the smallest and set the screen resolution to the highest but I am still not able to have 5 icons side by side as used to on my Galaxy S10+, can you fix that on the Pixel 7 Pro or is that not a possibility.
Hold an empty spot on the desktop, then go to wallpaper & style, set the grid size to what you want on the bottom of the menu.

Ahh ok, had totally forgot that was the cause, lol such an easy task.
Or alternatively avoid Google's launcher and go for something infinitely more customizable and superior. I'd advise Nova Launcher.
Or group them and with one extra touch you can quadruple the number available.

Plus one for Nova Launcher.
+2012-ish, because that (or longer?) is how long I've sworn by Nova Launcher Prime.

I seem compelling as the stock launcher with the search bar in the buttom and the at glance in the top sucks ass.
Do you miss anything by installing the nova launcher or do you just get extra stuff and another launcher, like is there any reason to stick with the default launcher other then keeping it stock.

I like to use the default apps, including the launcher, when they allow me to do what I want/need. But when it comes to the Google/Pixel launcher I feel that Google is acting like Apple in NOT ALLOWING me to remove the STUPID search bar! I have never needed or used a search on a cell phone! So I do not want it taking up my screen real estate! So then, it's back to Nova Prime!

Ues I am thinking the same also for the "At a Glance" stupid thing, google, please allow me to remove these things.
~86 apps, 12 folders, 8 widgets - made to look like 15 app icons and 4 obvious folders (and 8 widgets). I might've lost count of the apps and skipped a few. In Nova Launcher Prime, with some "folders" set to behave like apps unless I swipe up or down on their icons. Some icons I have different swipe up and swipe down actions to launch other frequently used apps that I don't really need an icon for.

Yep, Nova Launcher. Prime version worth the payment.

how do you do it in the nova launcher.
Have you tried it? It's in the Novsla settings, home screen, desktop grid. Basic operation.
