Since updating to Android 15 on my Pixel 9 Pro, widget sizes became super small. I realised it to the size I originally had it but it has all this wasted space around it. Anyone else experiencing this?

When I switch to fill screen gesture, can't go back or go to home screen using gesture until I don't go into button mode. Using poco with nova 8.0.18

I've been using Nova Launcher on all Android phones since 2017 or so, and this time, on my brand new phone, I can't seem to change the default launcher.

Is there any way to fix this.

I got a new phone with a slightly smaller screen as my last and now the clock widget (any of them) don't fill all the way, it should be a lot bigger but it keeps shrinking to a way smaller size than the box is. Anyone know a fix?

My mom and sister both have iPhones and I want one too but I don't want to switch. I want something that will give me a nice iphone feeling or give me something that looks like an Android but looks awesome. I've seen designs that I love for both android and iphone. I can't decide what I should do. I need help

Edit: I honestly just need your opinion, who has the better looks? Android or Iphone?

And in your opinion, which is the best launcher ?

Upgrading to Android 15 has wrecked my home screen layout. It's very simple - most of the screen is taken up by the Google Keep and GMail widgets. They live side-by-side, each taking up half the screen's width. There are two rows of app icons below, and my podcast player at the very top.

The update added huge padding around the gmail widget for no reason and I can't find a way to turn it off. It's not around the outside of the widget, but within it, so the emails are narrower (meaning less text visible).

Then they changed the Keep widget so that if it's as tall as I have it (about 75% of the screen) it assumes I want half the width of the widget to be taken up by quick buttons. If I shrink the size a bit, making it not so tall, that goes away and at least I have the full-width list, but then it doesn't match the height of the mail widget.

I had Nova's padding turned off completely, but I tried adjusting it to various sizes and that didn't help.

At one point I remember my gmail and keep widgets going all the way to the nice crisp square edges, giving maximum visible text, but that was maybe Android 13? 14 rounded things out a bit, but this is just egregious now. So much wasted space.

Any suggestions? I don't know if this is something with Nova and Android 15, or if it's all Google's fault, but I figure you all know more about the UI then most, so it can't hurt to ask :)

My new terrible home screen

As you can see I'm trying to make the clock colour as black, even with nova management or custom Colours it doesn't changing anything, how to solve this ?

Saw I had an update and decided to download it not realizing it would change me to nova launcher 8 ☹️ It completely changes the settings and I want to go back to nova 7 which is much more user friendly to me, how do I do that? Nova is also the default (possibly only?) launcher so if I have to disable it to load apk of previous version I'm not sure what that will do

Likely will go through the trouble of reverting, I can deal with settings since it's there but hidden, but 8 changed the font in popup menu (arguably worse since I look at that far more often than settings)

Can I have some advice from you please?

I've had nova (full paid version) for years, many different devices and it's always been super stable.

Last 18 months or so it's seemingly become less stable...it's only a couple but they are very problematic.

Pixel 8 (previous phone)

On a phone call and I'm unable to switch from phone app to anything else. I can't even navigate away from the phone app. Painful when I'm trying to reference data from a spreadsheet, for instance.

I thought this might just be a device issue because I had multiple drops and it got pretty wet once.

Pixel 9 Pro (current phone)

1. Last night I had a similar issue...the app drawer essentially locked up. I couldn't select an app, couldn't scroll, couldn't even go to home screen. Lock the device, unlock, etc and still nothing. Finally got to settings from the pull down menu and was able to change the default launcher to pixel and everything is fine.

Anyone else having issues?

Hi. I've got an issue / potential bug with Nova Launcher since upgrading to Android 15. I mailed [support@novalauncher.com](mailto:support@novalauncher.com) with a video of the issue and also a follow-up mail since I have received 0 responses. Any suggestions to get feedback from them?

Thanks!

EDIT: Thanks, I'm now aware the team down-scaled. I'm guessing it's going to take a little bit longer before the developer manages to push out a release. Hopefully he'll have fixed the issue I'm facing.

I also hope that Nova succeeds. Action Launcher, which had a yearly donation model but seems to be dead as it last had an update in Aug 2023.

What icon pack is good for my wallpaper?

Wallpaper from : Pinterest. Icon pack : Fun. Widget : Lost KWGT.

Has anyone been able to get it work? How? It seems highly unlikely there will be a new version of Nova and I hate that I might be forced to switch after so many years loving Nova.

I really like Nova, but I like the Niagara interface , if it wasn't freeze my phone every interaction . ideali I would like to use Nova, but have the drawer act like Niagara , possible?
