Anyone using Nova launcher?

[Fobbers]

When you use Nova Launcher, do the notifications pop up on the app like how Facebook tells you how many notifications you have as well as text messages. It doesn't show that on my phone. Is that normal? First time user and want to see some screenshots you post. It does make the phone layout lool better! Thank you

You have to use TeslaUnread (https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...com.teslacoilsw.notifier&hl=en&token=nciUCha2) and then set up unread count badges in Nova.

If you use nova launcher or a similar third party, can you still have your own photos as background?

I'm not positive if its Prime only, or if it works for the free version. You should buy Prime anyway. Totally worth it.

Absolutely. Way more customization options than TouchWiz

For nova yes. Not positive about other launchers but I would think so.

I use Nova Prime and hardly use any of the hundreds of features, I just have always liked how the apps drawer and home screens work with this launcher

One of my favorite is swipe down gesture to pull down notification shade on the home screen. Makes it that much easier on a large phone.

Holy crap. Thank you! I just enable this and it's awesome. I've been and long time Nova user too, doh. :-\

Completely agree! LOVE this feature.

So what do we lose when using nova on the note 7? I put it in my daughter's one plus 3 and really liked it.

Does the pen work OK?
I assume we lose the edge functionality as well.

Nothing is lost, you only gain more options and speed.

I uploaded it and will adjust it. Thank you for the help everyone.
