Switched back to Nova

[mustang7757]

Absolutely. I've been using it for years after switching from Apex.

I use to like Apex back in the day , was similar to Nova

I've never tried Apex. I think Nova is the only 3rd party launcher I've used for an extended period of time.

Nova is probably the most popular.

Yeah, Apex was the first 3rd party launcher I used.

I pretty much stayed between them , and Root launcher that gave pixel experience

Yeah, when I got my first Android phone I went with Nova from suggestions in the threads. It worked for what I needed it to, so I didn't bother trying anything else long term. I may install it on my 10+ at some point. I'm fine with One UI for now though.

Same here. I'm running stock right now but thinking about putting Nova back on.

I installed Nova but can't figure out how to add apps to show on my screen.

When they get downloaded?

It's interesting so many are using Nova. I've actually found Apex to be superior to Nova.

Sorry I'm not sure what you mean?

Sorry I'm not sure what you mean?

when your apps get downloaded from GP, you're not seeing the icons on the screen?

open drawer, drag and drop on screen, I presume

If you want apps to automatically appear on home screen upon download it's under Settings>Display>Home screen>Add apps to Home screen. I'm unsure if that's what Casey is referring to though. I didn't quite understand his post.

his previous post is why I wrote what you quoted. he asked two things. one was unclear but the first was a little more clear to me.

Sorry , I meant do you mean if apps get downloaded from play store ?

Yes thanks, this is what I mean. I followed your steps but only a few icons show up on the home screen. I can't figure out how to add all the other app icons to my screens. I also set preference to always use Nova launcher, but still this doesn't show all my apps. I'm probably not explaining it correctly and doing something wrong.

If the apps are already downloaded you'll have to manually move them from the app drawer. Are you trying to get rid of the app drawer all together, and have all your apps on your home screens?

I don't know what I don't know. Just want for all my apps to show up on the home screens. Don't know how to make that happen.
