Nova Launcher and V20

[mbryanr]

I'm not seeing that 2nd option... Any idea why? Is it because I'm using Nova Prime and not Beta?

I am using Prime, with the latest Nova Beta. (added because I wanted to try the Pixel setup)

How did you get the Beta version? Join the group? Download the APK?

Join the group. It automatically becomes available.

Nova Launcher Beta

OK, Beta installed, settings changed.

One thing that seems to happen, though, is that when I lock by double-tap the finger print unlock doesn't happen till I first tap the home button... then I can use the finger print unlock -- this is slightly different from normal when I can just unlock with finger print, i.e., one step vs. two steps.

Ideas?

I've got my lock timeout set to 5 seconds in both Nova and the display "lock timer" setting.

Same here. At least it works I suppose.

Yup, better than having to lock the screen by tapping the notification bar or tapping the home button.

Thanks for your quick help, by the way, it's very appreciated

EDIT: I've figured out that after 5 minutes (or whatever your display->screen timeout is set to), you can unlock using just the one step finger print instead of the two step.

Yup - didn't happen on my g4, but definitely on the v20 (likely a nougat problem.) My solution is to add more rows so that I can get closer to the bottom.

Add an additional row, add your icons then remove the extra row. Only easy way around it.

Buy the full version if you enjoy using it.... basic free version is going to always purposely give you troubles...

Agree with you... I tried many launchers and the full version only that supports knockon feature on Lg V20..... Anyone know what free version launcher that works well with knockon feature?

Occasionally they sell it for 99 cents

I wish I had found it when one of those deals was going on.

As far as I can't tell, fingerprint is disabled by Nova when double tap is enabled

I felt this needed some additional information as it was exactly what I needed to get my LG G6 working the way I wanted. To unlock the hidden labs feature in Nova/Nova Prime, hold down the volume down button for 2-3 seconds while you're in the Nova settings screen. Then you will find the 'Screen lock method' menu in Advanced.

Now I have the best of both worlds, Nova gestures to open apps and the ability to unlock using the fingerprint scanner.
