Nova launcher keeps crashing - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Having a problem on my new note 3, if i use Nova Launcher it keeps crashing every single time when adding a widget.
I have tried reinstalling multiple times. But the same error occurs over and over again. Also tryed clearing the data and cache, but nothing seems to help.
Also tried the latest betas, im currently using Apex, but Nova is my favorite. Please help a frustrated guy!

you can try cleaning your cache with clean master or kinda programs, but install nova then clean master and you can uninstall. clean master should warn you nova left some cache and file behind and delete them. this requires no root.
or
if you have root you can backup your apps first then clean cache with cwm and wipe then restore apps.
do these at own risk, hope it works. No cons for me if something goes wrong or you lose data ...

Same problem here...
Just bought the prime version of nova yesterday. The launcher crasher every time I try to do something. I'm on a Galaxy S4 tho.
Tried uninstalling + cleared cache, worked fine at the beginning, after I configuring it like I wanted he started crashing again

I have nova and it is working fine

Nova prime works a treat on my SD800 N3

Might say something to Nova about the Note 3 crashing because it might be an Android 4.3 and Note 3 issue. Same with the S3. I have a Nexus with 4.3 and Nova is perfect.

I remember having the crash issue with the Note 2 and just gave up on some widgets. However I notice that most launchers I use will eventually crash (SSL Launcher, Themer App, Nova). To be specific the launcher does not crash rather it lags and when I open an app such as chrome, then the app crashes but the entire experience is very laggy. I reboot to fix all issues and for now have decided to use touch wiz.

[Q] Nova launcher - Galaxy S4 - close several time

I have always used Nova Launcher on my mobile phone and the program has worked flawlessly.
I have now installed the program on my new Samsung Galaxy S4, but Nova Launcher closes several times a day when I called to find Nova Launcher in the file list in order to enable the application. Is there a solution to this problem?
Is there websites on the Internet where other users of Nova Launcher can write together?
It works perfectly on mine since day one

[Q] Setting App Defaults Issue PLEASE HELP!

So i am having a issue on my S4, i have searched around and found it to be a problem on many other peoples s4's
When i set a downloaded app. Lets say Apex launcher for example, i press the home key and click to have Apex as my launcher then i choose Always, but when my phone reboots, it doesnt store then infomation so i have to choose it again on boot cause there are two launchers installed. This also happens for things like Google Keyboard (it didn't come pre installed on my phone) im sure it isnt hardware fault cause it happens on my Galaxy ace 3. its really frustrating cause built in apps such as you tube and the stock browser keep there app defaults such as youtube app to open when i click a video on the browser :/ anyone know what i can do?

Have you got it set as the default under Settings>More>Default applications>Home......
I am currently using Nova as the default without having to keep setting it as the default :fingers-crossed:
No problem solved for my S4 but I cant find that on my Ace 3 it just has, application manager and I can only reset the default in there

what is best launcher for Gionee e7

Hi bros,
what is best launcher for Gionee e7?
I used stock launcher and I'm testing google now launcher, but I think it's not best
For me, Nova Launcher, it is fast

I've been using Nova for a long time, it was an obvious chioice for E7, too.
Thing is, I've no idea how deeply is this NAVIlauncher integrated with Amigo, so for the moment I froze the NAVI Launcher, but I'm afraid to do same thing for NaviKeyguard.
Question is - can I completely uninstall the original NAVI Launcher, and is NaviKeyguard a part of it and should I uninstall this, too?
I have froze navi launcher too, I like to freeze instead uninstall, in case that something go wrong with nova still there is another launcher i can use.

OK, you would be right here, but a frozen launcher will not take over in this situation. With Nova broken, you're unable to unfreeze the stock one, so freezeing and uninstalling is the same thing here.
I guess it doen's hurt me to leave it, plenty of space on the storage - I think I iwll unfreeze it then.
What about that NaviKeyguard thing - is this a part of previous launcher, can I freeze it, too? What is it?
I froze navi because in some situations it reload itself and change The launcher, that is my reason.
About navikeyguard, i froze it too in The beginning, but i realised that The lock screen had problems, so i unfroze it again. Now its Ok, navi frozen, keyguard unfrozen.
Hope it help you.

Thanks man - that's important info. I experienced that on my old W910 phone - very annoying thing.
The best Mi+Launcher_1.1.5. Support for gestures, very light, no lib file in apk.

How to get all my settings back after restore

I used to have an iPhone and one thing I really liked was when I restored my iPhone, it would automatically restore all the apps I used, and even put then in the folders I had them in, on the specific screen I had them on. I then moved to Android and was very happy to see that my Nexus 7 2013 running lollipop and the Google now launcher did the same thing after a reset and restore.
I was thinking that was a feature of lollipop or the Google now launcher. However, I recently reset and restored my verizon samsung galaxy note 3 running lollipop and using the Google now launcher, but when the phone restored, my apps and folders and screen arrangements did not restore on their own. I had to load my apps, build my folders, and arrange my screens all over again. Is there a way that I can make my verizon samsung galaxy note 3 restore the way my Nexus 7 tablet does, and the way iPhones do?
Thanks
The default on Android is to restore apps from Play Store but not the app settings. There is a setting to turn that off. Maybe you did that?
As for restoring folders, I don't use stock Touch Wiz so I don't know. I use Nova Launcher so I have to back up my screen settings so I can restore them later.

Thanks, I might try nova launcher. So it will arrange my screens the way I had them after a reset?
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
No. After you install Nova Launcher, get the screen the way you want it and backup your Nova configuration, THEN you can restore your screen if something messes up your system. But be aware that you'll want to download all your apps before restoring your Nova backup. If you don't, Nova will create dummy stubs for apps not installed.

Looking for assistance with Nova Launcher & Prime

Not sure if this is the right spot for this thread but here's hoping lol
Been running Nova Launcher for ages now on my old phone and on my Galaxy S7 Edge, phone with in for insurance claim couple weeks ago but shortly before that i found Nova was crashing at least 2-3 times a day, just got the new handset, restored backups etc and seems the same problem is occurring, guessing it's something to do with the way it's got an app laid out or something but no idea how to test this, does anyone have anything similar that they've fixed that might give me a heads up?
Current Android Version: 6.0.1, all the latest Samsung updates are installed, Nova Launcher Version: 4.6, Nova Launcher Prime Version: 4.8 if it helps at all
Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide insight
Probably a problem with the backup. Don't restore the backup. Start from scratch.

I am an avid Nova Launcher Prime 4.3.1 user. I did import my settings from my old phone (a Moto X2). I have not had any problems whatsoever with Nova crashing. However, one side-effect from the import was some of the launcher icons in the app drawer changed from the Samsung theme to the Motorola theme. (I don't remember all the icons which changed but one was the dialer icon.) This may be an argument for not using an import of your previous settings.
