Hello, has anyone tried any other launchers yet? I'd prefer one with the google now cards.
I assume the pixel or google launcher will work well??
Let me know whatyou have tried
I use the Google Now launcher. It's in the store. Been using it on my last few phones and love it.
Just installed it. Works great (so far). I copied my Nexus 5X over to set up the v30 and installing the launcher restored all my previous icons and screens that were hidden by the LG launcher.
i used the google now launcher but the icons are too big.
downloaded the Nova launcher with Google Companion - much better. smooth, fast, and looks great. plus it has the pixel style app drawer (scrolling up)

I am currently using Nova Launcher on my Moto X Pure, but I couldn't find "Google Companion" in the play store. Am I missing something?
I can't wait to buy my unlocked v30 on (hopefully) October 27!
http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/0...lly-gets-google-now-integration-apk-download/
or google "google companion nova"
I use Nova prime and it's amazing truly. But I've used it on all my last phones. The v30 clearly runs it the best but still truly liked go launcher years ago until they got way into money grabbing for features.
I'm using the modified compatible pixel launcher. I also have Nova prime but I'm liking this so far. Works great!! https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.xda-developers.com/pixel-launcher-2-android-oreo-download/amp/

Has anyone figured out how to use a third party launcher like Nova with finger print to unlock and double tap to sleep?

Under Nova Settings. Gestures & Inputs, Double Tap - Choose Screen Lock. To set that gesture to work with the finger print scanner you have to set it as a preference. If you are not prompted when you set it up go Settings Advanced - Screen Lock Method, Choose 5 second option.
There is a slight delay if you double tap and want to turn the screen back on with the finger print scanner. (Pressing the power button twice will get the phone on and unlocked in this case if 5 seconds has not gone by.) But overall it's a workable compromise for me.
I am using the beta version of Nova in case this is a beta item...
Take Care!!

I use Action launcher. There is a google now plug in, but I just set up a gesture to swipe from left to right that opens it without the plug in.
Action launcher is packed with great features, like covers.

If the finger print scanner is not working on unlock from the AOD, then open Nova Settings. Go to Advanced, Screen Lock Method. Make sure you have Timeout selected. Then when you double tap the screen will go black for 5 seconds, then the AOD will come on and you should be able to unlock it with the scanner. If you ever want to unlock it quicker, press the power button once to turn off, then unlock with the scanner.. Usually for me the 5 seconds is not an issue.
If you can't live with the 5 second delay, then you will have to use another launcher. I don't know if Action Launcher or Lawnchair suffer the same issues.

On Nova, for some reason if you set it to actually lock the screen and not go blank for the 5 seconds, it will make you enter the actual password. I tried it and it wouldn't accept the fingerprint. Kinda weird.

That is odd, my 1 minute timeout works with no issues.
Action launcher did remove the double tap to turn the screen off unfortunately, they said google wanted it removed for some reason.
Hey guys, any of you started using Nova on v30? Which features are disabled when using Nova? Also can you do anything to navigation buttons like change the icons or make the tab transparent? Thanks!
Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk
I've been running Nova since I got my V30. I haven't noticed anything being disabled on the V30 compared to the other devices I've used it on. Yes, you can change the icons on the nav buttons, and all other features that Nova is known for.
Knock On/Off is disabled when using Nova. Sadly. Basically one of my favorite LG features can't be used. If you get another app like Screen On/Off it messes with the security settings and you cant' use the finger print to unlock, you have to do your pattern/password. So yeah, not exactly thrilled w/ using the LG launcher but it is what is.

Ironically enough, I just noticed that they have a screen lock option in the settings for gestures and inputs now too...
There are two options, one is locks the screen immediately (which requires pin/password/patter, which I didn't want) and the other just turns the screen off for 5 seconds then locks itself, allowing for knock on and fingerprint. So thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
And yes, you can double tap the notification shade as well and that does the same as the second option.
Thanks again!

The V30 new floating bar doesn't show up for me on the home screen, but shows up in any apps or settings. Kind of a bummer since they removed the ticker screen in the v20 and v10 for the virtual one, but I have to choose between nova and no ticker on the home screen or a different launcher and ticker on the home screen :/

How do you use the ticker on the home screen, for what purposes? I'm asking because for instance if it's in order to launch apps maybe there's another way more efficient?

I actually figured out that it will stay on the home screen as long as I don't hide the navigation buttons. When I keep the navigation buttons persistent on the screen, I can use the ticker.
As for what I use it for, there are some media control settings, shortcuts, but most useful is screen shot and making gif features.
Oh man that was the only issue I was worried about using a launcher. I really wanna use the floating bar but can't give up nova either [emoji58]

Hello,
I know this is an old thread but want to ask the question regarding Nova launcher and the LGV30+ that I have.
When I setup the Nova Launcher, to unlock the phone with my finger print, it asked me for addition pattern or a pin. Now that it is set up, whenever I use the fingerprint to unlock the phone, it also ask for a pattern.
Does anyone else have this issue?

If you are using Nova's double tap to sleep feature, and you have it set to the 'Device Admin' option for the lock method, you will not be able to use biometric unlock. Using the 'Timeout' method will allow you to use the fingerprint scanner as normal.

Thank you for that. Do you know if there is a way to set this up to work with the double tap to lock the screen? It is giving me a message that it has to be an admin.
Thanks.
EDIT: OK figured it out. You set Nova to turn off the screen with a double tap. The timeout will lock it.
Thanks!
I know the thread is a little old, but someone also asked about using the floating bar with Nova.
Should be able to use it. I know a question was previously asked about it by a poster, and the issue was not Nova, but the fact that the poster had the Navigation Bar set to auto hide, and the Floating Bar is directly tied to the Navigation Bar. If the Navigation Bar is hidden, the Floating Bar will not display.

Issue: Launchers when active disables the Double Tap feature to turn off the screen.
I like to use Nova Launcher for several reasons. However with the new LG V30, when Nova Launcher is active the Double Tap to turn off the screen fails to work. Double Tap to turn it back on works fine, as does the Double Tap from the Lock Screen works for both screen on and off.
Is this a known issue with launchers, or is it an LG V30 issue?
I've not had a phone with the feature for Double Tap screen off/on before, so I have no idea if it's to be expected and find nothing posted about this either.
Thank you for reading,

Nova has its own homescreen shortcut for switching off the screen: Widgets -> Nova Action -> activate lockscreen. Of course Nova needs the permission for that.

A pretty substance free coment: What was your actual expectation?
Since that shortcut switched off the screen on every Android phone I had so far as long as Nova has the required administrator permissions set. So I see no need to avoid it.

There are two modes, one of which locks the phone, after which the fingerprint unlock doesn't work, you have to enter your code to unlock the phone. The other one doesn't lock the phone at all, it just turns off the screen, and the AOD doesn't show up untill the phone actually times out and locks on its own (it says after 5 seconds, but it's actually 30 seconds for me).
I would agree. The present implementation of Nova Launcher doesn't really follow function or form with the V30's own lockup function. It doesn't really lock the phone up. It just darkens the screen... not secure it.
What I really would like for Nova Launcher to do is to enable the user to use the whole screen to implement the knock code to lock the screen up. I think the reason we can use the notification area alone, is that this is part of the V30's own infrastructure layout, and not a Nova Launcher area.

Yes that always works with Nova.
And if you configure this option, it will also work anywhere on the screen.

Yes but as other posters have said, it doesn't actually lock the phone - it just turns the display black and only locks after the display time out (60seconds in my case). It doesn't turn off the touchscreen, it just blanks it.
If you are rooted nova can lock the screen just as lg launcher does.
So I have a LG G7 One which runs stock Pie. Sadly LG's knock knock features aren't included. Bootloader is locked, so no root options currently. This my first phone that doesn't have a root option. I feel a little limited.
I'm looking for a way to lock my phone without using the power button. Ideally double tap to lock. I've tried a few different options but they all seem to have the same limitation. They force me to use my pin after I lock my phone with them. Something about my phone being locked by admin. I would like to just use my finger print scanner. Is there any workaround for this?
I'd prefer double tap to lock, but I'd settle for a quick settings toggle. Are there any apps that allow this? And would I face the same issue, where it forces me to use my pin afterwards?
I have pixel launcher on my V35. The LG double tap to wake/sleep works but only when I double tap in the notification pull down. Near the top. This is still the LG feature so maybe not good for you. I thought stock Android had the double tap thing tho. Maybe not Android One?

Nova launcher can be used to double tap and lock
Hi
After update MIUI to 12.5, I normally use an application (screen off and lock) to lock the screen, since double tap doesn't work.
Turns out that after the update when I lock the screen through the app, I can't unlock with fingerprint saying that "device locked by admin" and I have to use the pin to unlock.
Anyone knows how to overcome this?
Thanks in advance.

This was not funny at all i have to say,my wife is absolutely crazy because of this issue and think´s the whole phone is ruined because of this,okay..
Isn´t it anyone out there who has a solution for this or do we really have to wait for another update to come before we can have the fingerprint to work again because i really hope they going to fix this for us or?

Same here on mi 10T
I have learned not to update MiUI, as the updates rarely fix old bugs and ALWAYS introduce new bugs. Best just sticking with what it came with until a custom ROM comes along and then leave the MiUI crap in the past.
Problem is 3rd app lock method.
Here is solution:

I use NOVA LAUNCHER and I have same problem after 12.5 update. So I changed LOCK method in NOVA and it works.

So easy but still so difficult to figure out...
This was really good to learn about i have to say,thank you very much for your help!
I solved this issue after updating my Mi Note 10 to MIUI 12.5.1 by switching from 3rd party screen lock / turn off app to an official built-in widget simply called "Lock" (go look for it, it should be near the top in Widgets section when you press and hold empty home screen area).
To remove unofficial screen lock app you must first revoke admin rights, of course, otherwise its ghost will keep reappearing after each uninstall attempt.
I simply like stock MIUI Launcher, so using 3rd party ones to solve this was unacceptable for me.
if u guys are just talking about turn off screen without using side button, then there are some options present in miui...
1) [if u r using button navigation] setting> additional setting> button shortcut> turn off screen> choose as ur choice
2) You can also use the quick ball, 'setting> additional setting> quick ball' with quick ball u can use 5 shortcuts like home, menu, lock, clear cache, ss etc
3) the widget option... Just like d789 said
And 'double tap to wake or turn off screen' option is present in the "setting> always on display & lock screen"...
Thanks, I overlooked that buttons shortcuts in Settings can be configured to lock the screen as well (e.g. long hold Back or Home on-screen button).
Yeah, double-tap to wake or turn off screen is also very useful feature I use since day 1.

For me this doesn't work.
I use Nova and always have.
In Nova I go to "Gesture and Inputs" change the "double tap" to "screen lock".
I then choose "Accessibility" and add Nova.
After that if I double click nothing happens. If I remove Nova from accessibility and then double tap it asks me to use device admin or accessibility. I use this way on every single mobile I use but on 12.5.3 I can't pick accessibility as it refuses to do anything when Nova is added.

To everyone who's still facing this issue. This fix helped me and a lot of others as well. Try it out.
It's a rare but annoying glitch in MIUI, you can easily solve it:
1. Go to TWRP -> File Manager
2. Browse to: /data/system
3. Delete file "locksettings.db"
4. Reboot.
You will need to set the lock screen password/pattern again, if you had any before.

Dear friend, my phone is Redmi Note 7 Pro. I had no issues after doing this. It worked perfectly for me. So, as I saw this forum thread before fixing my phone, I just shared the information I knew. Not everyone will get the same result from this, because not everyone has the same phone. So, whether or not you didn't get the expected outcome, you shouldn't tell others to not follow this. It's their choice, not yours. Maybe atleast some of them will find it useful than you did.

Thank you very much.
This works for my RN10Pro using MIUI13.0.6, change the lockscreen setting in Nova, from admin to accessibility.
I can't double tap to close home screen anymore, but there's still home button in the lowest middle to do that.
The most important thing is, I can directly go to home screen just by touch the fingerprint button.
Thanks for your advice.
If you guys are talking about the fingerprint button then i suggest you just use the gestures that are provided by default of the settings since there nust be a spatial consisting of failure of recognizing the algorithm of identifying user by fingerprint method or they just didn't implement the algorithm that is stored inside the operating system of the phone.
So gestures is the only way to go you can apply gestures by using monetary apps that may give access to other gestures like slide down to view user statistics or usage and slide up to reveal system settings but i couldn't blame the operating system though for having not enough gestures but I'm also. Thankful that they have custom gestures so i wouldn't imply to an app that can be placebo or popular in playstore who knows it can be money cashgrab(just stating the fact that i had to cancel so many subscription on a gesture app)
