Anyone having an issue with Nova or Samsung Launcher in automatically adding new apps to the home screen or saving a Chrome bookmark to the home page? I can't get these two things to show up. Thank you.

Changes were made in Oreo that cause issues to place shortcuts on home screens. For example, Facebook messenger cannot create conversation shortcuts anymore but WhatsApp can.

Wow, are there any workarounds?

None that I've found. Not even using nova launcher. The strange thing is that Samsung back up did indeed restore home screen shortcuts, but if I wanna create a new one for the same app I can't
Using Nova Prime, I have no problem adding a bookmarked site to the home screen. Open the site, tap on the 3 button menu, and then on Add to Home screen. I tried it on three different sites, and it worked on all of them.

Is this from chrome? I have no luck with the latest version of Nova. Chrome says it's adding to homescreen yet nothings shows up.

With the stock TW laucher of my SGS 2 (ICS) I would like to move pages in the App drawer, say move page number 5 to the end (page number 12) but I just can't figure out how to do that.
I can move Icons, add and remove pages and folders but I can't move an entire page.
Is this not possible with the App drawer of TW launcher?
As far as I can remember you do it the same way as you would with home screens. Pinch & drag.

Nope, that did not work. Any other idea?
Really no way at all?
I noticed that when I hold down the home button of my Xperia Z Ultra, a semi-circle pops up and shows a round "Google Now" icon in the middle of the semi-circle. Is there anyway to add more icons on the circle? Or even to change it? Your kind help would be most appreciated. I can't find the answer anywhere.
Nope, not unless you're running a custom ROM (as far as i know). Are you constantly swiping your finger up from the home button though? I can't really see how that's possible

I am using Nova launcher, I can double tap screen to turn it on no issues.
I saw that with the v10 you can double tap the screen to shut it off as well. If I use the LG luancher it will turn off with double tap, but when using nova double tap will not shut off.
On the lock screen it will doubletap to turn off.
Any suggestions on how to get this feature working using nova?
my att v10 works with nova. double tap at top of screen
Use the screen off and lock app, and create a knock gesture in Nova Settings attached to the app

I haven't heard of that app. I will look it up. Thanks.
Download this app and set it up, works perfect for Nova double tap to turn off on any phone I've used.
If you entered the hidden settings at all..then it breaks the knock on. Pretty stupid bug to make it past testing

Really nothing do u have nova prime and if do uninstall and reinstall nova see if that helps
Tried to uninstall and reinstall,dl the older version, still no go.

What I've found on all LG devices is that the Knock On feature works all the time. Knock Off on the status bar works all the time as well. Knock Off on an empty space on the Desktop seems to be specific to LG's launcher.
As was mentioned previously, the best way to replicate that with Nova Launcher is to install the "Screen Off and Lock" app and assign it to a double-tap gesture in Nova Launcher.
I'm using double tap for another app with Nova, never did anything special, it just worked from the start.

No sorry. Hidden settings within the phone itself by doing whatever that code was. I only did it once and me and few other guys confirmed it in another thread.
Enter service ..hidden.. Menu..it crashes...knock on stops working . i am using stock launcher
Doesn't work on my TMo V10...I like the feature so I am using the LG launcher.

I use screen off and lock to swipe up from the soft keys instead of Google now. Works in just about every screen, not just home
Install this:
Than set this in Nova Prime:

Are you talking about the Developer settings? If so, I've gotten into on mine and knock on and off still works.
Every forum has one.
Here is mine.
Nova launcher, 130 size icons, material icons

Home and lock. Google Now Launcher. Wallpaper from Backdrops
Total Launcher. One is the app drawer, the other is the home screen with pics of the boss lady.. Zooper widget for the time, and the wife pics are done in app from total launcher. Can be made to launch apps and stuff but I have those 4 just layered there doing nothing. Its a great app and not too heavy. I really like the flexibility. I used to have it to where it would just scroll vertically like some of the old windows mobile phone. So basically a realllly long home screen with everything just a swipe away up or down. But for now I have it simple.
Older pic but it's still the same.
Updated my Nova "single" home screen. Figured instead of swiping to multiple pages I'll just organize my apps in Android N folders. Two finger slide up to get to app drawer. Zooper widget clock.

I had to look up how to do screenshot on this phone. Not real evident:laugh:
quick update on my home screen. Nothing to special on my folders and icons but I did make this wallpaper. Copied the google logo on their home page a few weeks ago and dropped it on a black background using a wallpaper creator app. I attached it if anyone wants to use it. If you use it show us how your homepage looks. Thanks

Hey Guys,
I have been using the Mate 20 pro for a month now and I was wondering if anyone knows how to activate that option where newly installed applications are sent straight to my screen rather than remain in the drawer until I create a shortcut manually. I cant seem to find the option in the settings.
Thanks
Yes you use Nova launcher, then you can switch it on in the Home Screen Settings section. ?

This settings for Home shortcut is there if you use Drawer home screen style, not Standard. If you use Standard home screen style all newly installed apps go on the Home screen, because there is no drawer.

I'm using Nova launcher, I have this switch off because I arrange all my applications in the drawer in to folders, tools, social, banking ECT. And frequently used apps on the home screen.
