| Feature | Nova Prime 7.0.57 | Action Launcher | Niagara Launcher | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Learning Curve | Low | Medium | High (minimalist) | | App Drawer Style | Horizontal/Vertical tabs | Sidebar (Quickdrawer) | Vertical alphabetical list | | Gestures | Extensive (20+ actions) | Moderate | Almost none | | Icon Pack Support | Full | Full | Limited | | Best For | Power users & Tweakers | Users who love widgets | Minimalists & one-hand use |
Nova wins on raw configurability and compatibility with old icon packs.
While free users get basic gestures, Prime users can set complex actions. For example:
Unlike generic notification dots, Nova Prime uses TeslaUnread (integrated in this version) to show numerical badges (e.g., "3" unread emails on Gmail). This works consistently across most social and messaging apps.
Even a "top" APK has issues. Here are fixes for the most common complaints:
Problem: "App icons disappear after reboot." Fix: Go to Nova Settings > Advanced > "Restart Nova Launcher." Also, ensure Nova is moved to internal storage, not an SD card.
Problem: "Google Discover feed won't show on left panel." Fix: Version 7057 requires the "Nova Google Companion" APK (separate download). Later versions integrated this natively. You may need to flash a magisk module for Android 13+.
Problem: "Swipe gestures interfere with Android 13 navigation." Fix: Disable gesture navigation on your phone (switch to 3-button layout) or upgrade to Nova 8.x.
