Hey team! Hope you enjoy the video 🙏🏻 Just a quick note: this video was filmed and completed about a week before the recent Nova Launcher announcement, which is why it wasn’t mentioned in this video. That being said, whilst the news of a bunch of staff being laid off is a tough pill to swallow, the original creator and primary developer of Nova Launcher (Kevin Barry) is still working on Nova Launcher, and according to his recent post, he will continue to do so going forward. You can read his update post here - novalauncher.com/nova-aug-2024 If anything, this makes me more encouraged to support the continued development of Nova Launcher by continuing to post about it on my channel where the opportunity fits going forward. The more users using Nova Launcher, the more Kevin will be able to continue providing regular quality of life updates for the app. Hope that helps clarify any confusion! Much love ❤
Great video! Hopefully Nova will at least retain its current functionality moving forward, since there's no real alternative with the same functionality. Question for you: are you using an S24+ for these shots, and are they all real shots (not renders)? Since I got a Pixel 7 Pro I've been disappointed that the top and bottom of the screen are "reserved" and launchers like Nova can't use them for widgets or icons. And there's always a bar indicator at the bottom which you can't turn off. On my previous phone (OnePlus 7 Pro) you could use the whole screen. I'm thinking about switching to Samsung and it looks like Nova can use the whole screen in these shots, but wanted to check. Not easy info to find online!
@@GavinBiscuitsyes nova can use the whole screen on Samsung. I had it on my fold 4 as well as my pixel fold. Not sure why your phone isn't allowing the whole screen, maybe it's a dock issue you can turn off/on? Otherwise switch to Samsung. It works great on those.
@@mkltattoos Thanks. I didn't know if "reserving" the top and bottom of the screen was a broader trend, but it sucks. Getting a Pixel ironically felt like half-way to getting an iPhone from the limits they put on customization -- they also have a line at the bottom of the screen that you can't remove without rooting the phone (in the reserved area). Good to hear Samsung isn't going down that path. I'm planning to wait for the S25 series and will switch then.
@@vedantgoel928 I'm really sorry, but I can't access it either due to the updated Play Store regulations for older apps. I'm writing back because my last reply didn't seem to post, and I just noticed it today when I came back to check if there's any new queries.

When I tried to download one of the wallpapers mentioned here that was mentioned can be directly downloaded on the app, it's behind the app's paywall. But the app gives credit to the wallpaper creator from Reddit. Am I trying to download this wallpaper incorrectly ? Is the Reddit wallpaper creator getting kickback for having their artwork downloaded through this paywall ? I'm bit confused how this works. I must be doing something wrong.
Hello sam, thanks for all the cool content. I was wondering, i read something awhile back how there are some parts of the nova community that no longer liked the nova app after it was sold. That there were some changes in user data and such along with other less updates that felt it was falling behind since being bought out. What are your thoughts if any?
As a business owner myself, I've got no problem with it. At the end of the day, the owners of Nova Launcher are just trying to earn an income like you or me, along with balancing their life commitments, and there's no question that third party launchers have been a bit of a dying art form ever since Google stopped playing nice with them when gestural navigation was introduced. As such, we can't expect the developers to just be able to keep things going as they once were, and getting acquired by a larger corporation certainly takes a bunch of weight off their shoulders to generate income purely from people purchasing Nova Prime. If anything, the acquisition probably extended Nova's lifespan further than what it might have been otherwise. I also use countless amounts of apps that track user data, and there's still the option to turn those settings off if need be, so this doesn't concern me one bit. I know others disagree, and that's totally fine. All that to say, I've got no problems continuing to use it and I will continue to feature it on my channel unless Branch gets rid of the original creator/developer himself. Until then, expect to see more Nova Launcher content on my channel going forward 🙏🏻
@@sambeckman for sure i hear ya! thanks for the response! Wanted to also ask, ive been a fold user for about 3 years now and all my nova set ups have been on non folding phones. I have yet to use nova on the samsung galaxy fold, what are the chances you do a set of nova set ups on a folding phone?
@@mxl_31 Unfortunately the Palette interface isn't designed around foldable device form factors, and I can't really think of a way that we could make that work, unless we created a completely separate section of the app that was just for showcasing foldable setups. This would be quite involved to implement though. I think the demographic for customization enthusiasts who also use a foldable is too small at the moment to warrant us implementing such a big change. Sorry!
Sometimes I forget to watch the home screens and I'm amazed at the cinematic quality of the video. Any tips on how to reproduce this using cell phone cameras? The recordings are always outstandingly good 😂😂
these all look aesthetically pleasing but i prefer the ones which have more icons on the homescreen since i have way too many apps that i actually use. overall good video
Some people do - because, understanding how to use Nova Launcher does mean a learning curve - but, for those willing to take the time to learn how to set it up - especially with KWGT and KWLP - it can be a game changer.
Hey man I know u get alot of comments but can u please explain to whats this , my phone cracked In the side so the corner glass was shattered thn a week it fell and a big round black ink on the screen after few days it seems to to displacing or rearranging now the round black ink become smaller and smaller by the day now there just a dot probably will go away too
Bro please wake up it's 2024 not 2017 u are uploading outdated setups maybe they are created in 2024 but the vibe of those setups are old. And one more thing add bio and link section in pallet user's profile section
@khushwantgaur, which specific setups would you be talking about? I mean, after all, Nova isn't about getting ahead of the times - especially, since everyone does what they want with setups. Find me a setup that "2024" offers that couldn't be tinkered with back in "2017," and maybe I'll consider comment worth a penny.

Nova Launcher - the swiss army knife of launchers
Wow, I can't thank you enough for shining a light on Inkwell Harmony and Red Desert! You're amazing! ☺️🙏
Hey, the bubblegum glyphs icon pack isn't being shown in the play store, can you link to it?
@@vedantgoel928 I'm sorry, but it's not even available for me now due to some new restrictions implemented by Google for outdated apps .
Are you from punjab?

How much is the pallette upgrade it doesnt say ?
I've been using Niagara Launcher for awhile but a good nova setup sure can bring me back!
Love these 🫡👊🏿
Hey, bro where to download that flower wallpaper used in Porcelain by Silke setup? can you please share the link.

Thank you so much for featuring my setup ❤
Thank you so much for featuring our setup 🙏😍
Make on different launchers
I wish people did custom setups for Android car units
The radio or the app on the radio
absolutely cool setups..palate makes it possible. superb app
Sometimes I forget to watch the home screens and I'm amazed at the cinematic quality of the video. Any tips on how to reproduce this using cell phone cameras? The recordings are always outstandingly good 😂😂
Is there any app to add that last setup clock widget to the lockscreen? To recreate that depth effect on the lockscreen
Your palette app has been the best download so far
smart laucher
dna/ios
these all look aesthetically pleasing but i prefer the ones which have more icons on the homescreen since i have way too many apps that i actually use. overall good video
Am i the only who love only default launcher 😂
Most people use the default launcher to get the smooth animations. But some are willing to give that up for more customizations.
Google should change third party launchers can display smooth animation.
No 😂

Dude 😎 how too turn off internet connection for selected apps on nothing phone
when's the next iOS setup video coming 👀
Links just open to the website and I have palette installed, any help ?
How can I apply a new setup and still keep my old setup as backup in nova launcher?
please do this kind of "best nova launcher setups" video twice per year!
Meh

I don't trust new owners of Nova Launcher, so I won't update to latest version.. are there any alternatives with similar features?
Ugh it's the same app, stop being dramatic
Check out my pinned comment! Hopefully it helps clarify some of the confusion about the recent Nova Launcher announcements.
@@outcastriley enjoy your data being tracked and harvested
Nova doesn't support gesture integration, feels laggy @@sambeckman
@@_Cereal_Killer_1998that's more of an android issue
there's quickswitch but it requires root and nova doesn't support it
Using oneplus 11 I can't use any third party launcher without lagging... But j still enjoy watching this content
