Nova Launcher lockscreen - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
using Nova Launcher I configured Icons on the bottom quick launch tray.
On Lockscreen the icons are still the ones configured for the sense launcher.
They change only after unlocking the phone.
Any ideas?

You have to go back to the sense launcher first and do it that way, once back on nova launcher they will show up on lock screen.

It's because the lockscreen is being controlled by sense and your home screen by Nova. Two different beasts

Ok.
Installed Home Switcher,
changed to Sense Launcher,
configured Quicklaunch same as Nova Settings
changed back to Nova.
Experience is now not the same but quite similar.
But didn't understand: Why is the lockscreen always sense and not Nova???

Because you have just put a launcher on the phone and not done anything to your lockscreen you are still using the sense lockscreen so it will be based on sense still.

Nova isn't a lockscreen, its a launcher

Get Holo Locker to get the stock lockscreen for Nova.

OK, hope to understand: lock screen is one app, launcher another?
But shouldn't it change to Nova launcher when using a quicklaunch icon then?
The behaviour I see is that using a quicklaunch icon from lockscreen starts sense launcher,
Back button stays in sense. Lock and Unlock again is sense. Changes to nova
first time i press Home. Could call it a feature: Can easily get blinkfeed under nova
this way

those five icons on your lock screen are just shortcuts that mirror the five icons on your SENSE launcher. So regardless of what icons you have there using NOVA launcher, the lock screen will still show what's on the SENSE launcher.
So if you want to change the icons there, go back to using the sense launcher and change the five icons to the ones you want, then go back to using nova.

lockscreen widget issue
I have a galaxy s4 verizon, rooted, running gummy rom, launcher3 is preset in the rom and I downloaded Nova launcher. There is a yahoo weather widget on my lockscreen that I cannot find any settings for in either launcher or rom settings. It is registering temp in celsius and I need farenheit, haha. Any suggestions? Thanks

i stopped using that launcher but i think i remember its in the launcher settings... when ur on your home screen click menu and there should be 2 different settings, one specifically for adw.. in that menu there should be an option that allows u to remove the text..

using a different launcher while on sense based rom

i noticed when i first installed nova launcher that i would not get the unread count on the icons on the lockscreen say when i got a text or something. but now for some reason i do get the notification badge (but it doesnt always stay updated, says 1 even though i already opened the message)
so basically my question is, is sense kinda still running in the background when im using nova launcher? is it technically not supposed to show the notification badge when im not using the sense launcher like when im using nova launcher instead.
can anyone with nova launcher confirm with me if they still get the notification badges on the lockscreen if you are using a sense rom?
thanks

How to enable Sense with Nova launcher

So there a way to enable Sense using Nova launcher?
no, you need to use the inbuilt sense launcher. Nova is not sense..
Sorry... I meant to say blink feed. I saw someone here who figured out how to bring up blinkfeed with Nova launcher.
From nova launcher, tap on the screen and choose create shortcut, then activities, then htc sense. It will just be a shortcut of the blinkfeed. Just delete any other pages. You can also set a gesture in nova launcher like double tap to bring you directly to blinkfeed.

Under activities I do not see Sense. I don't see it under Nova neither.

[Q] Sense launcher

Currenly using ARHD along with Nova Launcher as I like a bit of desktop customisation and more features.
That being said, I have liked Sense since 5 was released a few years back, I even liked Sense 4 but looking back the UI seemed a bit too cartoonish. Good in the day I guess!!
Curious to know what other folks do when it comes to using Sense 6, are they using the native launcher or going for a thirdy party launcher to get that additional customisation.
Reason I'm using Nova is the option to install icon packs, assign individual icons per app, change grid dimensions, icon sizes etc.
Is any of this possible with the latest Sense launcher by use of mods?
Thanks.

Xposed module Xtended Settings.. With that, u can do ALL of the above to the BlinkFeed launcher and then some. It's basically Xgels for Sense but with way more options ... Give it a go, it honestly makes BlinkFeed just as customizable as Nova, and even more... Theme status bar, softkeys (if u use them) , animations , etc.

It can change icons individually, for example I could set icons for the dock and differents icons on the desktop area? Resize them?
Thanks.

Nope,not currently. As of right now, just different icon packs, not individual icons. However,if u use wizardcut, u can do that on any launcher, including BlinkFeed... Not only that, but u can also layer and mix and match different icons together(for example, u can move 1 icon on top of the background of another icon to create a new icon) or just assign individual icons to individual apps n it sets them on your launcher... Good app on play store... Also ,desktop visualizer does this.

Alternative Launcher problem - no weather animations

Hi !
So, I decided to switch to another launcher on my Idol 4. I have chosen Evie Launcher, it's really OK for me. But .....
On the stock launcher, when I pressed the BOOM key, I got those fantastic weather animations. After launcher change they are not working anymore.
Is there maybe any method/trick/magic spell that I could use to get them back, but using different launcher than the stock one ?
Or maybe there is some method how to make the stock launcher icons just smaller, as this was main reason for me to switch to another one ? (Evie allows to set smaller icons so more information fits the home screen...)
