This app uses the AccessibilityService permission for optional support of making certain system functions more accessible, such as with desktop gestures. For example screen off or opening the Recent Apps screen. Nova will automatically prompt you to enable this if it is necessary for your configuration, for many cases it is not! No data is collected from the AccessibilityService, it is merely used to invoke system actions.
This app uses the Device Administrator permission for optional screen off/lock functionality.
This app uses a Notification Listener for optional badges on icons and media playback controls.
Love and have used this for years, but they need to fix the crash that makes it freeze until you restart. Happens even more since the recent update and I hate to change to anything else, but I'm at the point where I'm starting to think I might have to. Fix the bugs and I will update this to 5 stars because I love this launcher otherwise
Best launcher out there, A++
After last update Google map "add router to home screen" not working any more
On top of the world
I use Nova as my home screen launcher on every device I get. I can transfer saved layouts and themes from one device to another without changing things if I don't want to. But, there are lots of features and customization options, which makes changing it up from time to time fun and easy. Really stoked about this app, even the free version. Might shell out for the pro some day but as it is the free version offers quite a lot already. Thanks for a really awesome app!
It's easier to control drawer, icons and one good thing i'd like the most is the "lock" function.
The last two version make my phone freeze up in multiple positions. I've been using nova for 6 years. Too bad it's gotta go.
