S8 - Nova Launcher stops while trying to import TouchWiz desktop

[Dan BC]

Got my new S8 today. Trying to switch over to Nova Launcher and would like to import the TouchWiz desktop instead of doing it all manually.

When I go to 'Import desktop layout from other Launcher', a message pops up warning me this will clear my Nova layout. That's fine since I have no Nova layout.

Click OK and then get the error "Nova Launcher has stopped".

This happens every time at this point; even after rebooting the phone and uninstalling and re-installing the app.

Any suggestions?

I think it has bugs with the new UI of samsung in galaxy S8 so I guess nova devs will push an update fixing this bug.

hopefully - because I love my Nova Launcher!

That is frustrating... I have been using Nova for years now but must say I'm really enjoying stock right now. Still, I hope it gets fixed by the time I switch.

Try signing up for the Nova beta. They may have already addressed the issue.
