    Why can't I add a widget, such as a clock, to my home screen using Nova Launcher?

    Ok, here's a little update. I did find that C Launcher does work and will show widgets. I used it for about a week and it did fine, EXCEPT for one very odd issue. I have folders set up on one page. I had one specific folder with all my medie/music/movie apps in it. I noticed that every...

    Man, I hope they can figure it out. Do you guys have any issues with your Tesla Unread Count? I get the same kind of error when I try to switch on the count for my Outlook Mail app and Google Voice app.

    I'm having the same exact issue! I just contacted Nova this morning, and they said they think it has something to do with the device itself, because they've had other people contact them about the same thing. They said to contact BLU about it, but I'm sure you all know how far that will get you.

    [Running list] Best budget phones for under $160

    The Honor 5X is also a really nice looking phone from what I've heard. That was my other choice, but I went with the Vivo XL, because it was $50 cheaper and almost identical specs.

    blu vivo 5 case

    You probably won't find many options for that. I just bought a Vivo XL (which came with a clear TPU case), and I can't hardly find anything for it either. Now, I did find out that the Vivo XL is actually just a rebranded Gionee Elife S Plus, so I found more options under that name. If you can...

    What's Your Default Messaging App? Lots of lag with Google's

    After reading this thread, I just downloaded Textra too. I've been trying to find something that has a black background and has iOS emoji, and it looks like I've found my new favorite!! :D

    Blu Vivo XL (Quick First Impressions)

    I've had my Vivo XL for a few weeks now and definitely do not regret sending my Zmax 2 back. For the launcher situation, I grabbed Nova Launcher from the Play store and really like it. So much that I went ahead and bought Nova Prime (mainly for the message unread counters). It works great...

    [Running list] Best budget phones for under $160

    I bought a Zmax a couple weeks ago, after being on WP for about 4 yrs. Took a little while to get used to, but I really liked the phone. It worked well, but after installing all the apps I have missed over the last 4 years 😁, I noticed a lag on certain things, so I ordered a Vivo XL. I...

    How do I get the little red notification numbers to show up on my icons?

    I'm running Nova Launcher, but it says I have to buy the Prime version to unlock that. Is that true?
