Who is not familiar with the nova launcher, launcher which has existed since android version nova launcher gingerbread and now comes with a variety of new features becoming more sophisticated. Special for you who do not know about nova launcher or also tips the wearer, the following is a Tips and Tricks Nova Launcher that you can try.
1. hidden folders
Here's a great way to access all the most frequently used applications quickly and without littering up your home screen. You can create application folders are hidden, only appear as icons that you select. When pressed, the icon will open the first application, but when you slide it up, it will open the folder, showing a variety of related applications. I use this for my music applications, so when I press the headphones icon, Deezer is open, but when I scroll to the top, I saw SoundCloud, Music Player, Deezer, etc.
To set this up, first drag related applications into folders as usual. Then long-press on the folder and select Edit. From here, you can tap the icon to select a different icon, change the name of the folder, and adjust Swipe and Tap to open the setting action. Flick Swipe to unlock switch to the right, and, from the drop-down action Tap, select the first item in the folder.
For bonus points, make a transparent folder, too, by going to Settings Nova and would Folder> Background and slide Transparency 100 percent.

2. Swipe action on the application
Another way to utilize the swipe action is to open the application associated with other applications. I
have a camera icon is set to open the Gallery app when I swipe, for
example, and swiping on the Google Calendar application allows me to add
a reminder (download Google Inbox to access this feature). I also use this to unlock Messenger with a swipe up on the Facebook app icon.
To set this, just long press on the icon, select Edit and press the action selection Swipe to choose the action you choose.

3. Swipe actions on the home screen
You really have to make the most of the actions swipe. The
last way I use them is to add swipe gestures-up to the home screen to
open the app drawer, swipe double-finger upward to open the settings
Nova and swipe two fingers down to open Google Now, along with a few
others, but you can choose whatever suits you.
Just go open the Nova Settings, head to Gestures & enter and peruse the section Gestures and decide which action you want to arrange to do anything.

4. Tap twice to lock
Although this option could have been included in the section above, it
seems well worth highlighting, because it's something I use a lot and
easily overlooked.
Go to Nova Settings, tap on Gestures & input> Double tap the screen and select Lock. Now, when you put out quickly double-tap to the home screen, your device will lock. If you are not so keen on this, another very useful application is to have it launch the phone application.

5. smooth scrolling
If
you put the same widget on multiple screens launcher and employs remove
scroll effects Nova Launcher, it produces a very pleasant way to move
between screens, the widget remains in place throughout. Look at the gif below to see what I mean.
For this one, just add the same widget for all your launcher screen, and then open the settings Nova. Go to Desktop> Scroll and select Wipe effects near the bottom of the list.

6. Add the app drawer tab
App drawer is an Android-stop shop for all your applications, but how to make home-screen-setting style that is more discrete? By
default in Android, app drawer is one of the pages, but with Nova
Launcher, you can add an extra tab to make sure that you can swipe left
and right to scroll. Name tabs by category, for example, Internet, Music and Work, and fill it with the associated application. That makes finding a particular application much easier, especially when your phone is buzzing metropolis applications.
Go to Settings Nova and head to the App and widget drawer. Here, make sure the Tab bar is enabled, then head down the page for Drawer group. On this page, you can add additional tabs by tapping the plus sign in the upper right corner.
Once you have set up the tab, you can choose whether the application appears only in the tab you put them in a tab or in the main application also by long pressing on the tabs at the top, choose Edit Tab ..., And then select or deselect Keep an application in The main application tab.

7. Use emoji to your app drawer tab label
Have a great app drawer tabs, but you can make the set up even cleaner by using emoji keyboard instead of words to label them. Go to Nova Settings> App and widget drawer> Drawer group and press the pencil icon next to any tab. In the Edit window, tap on the tab name, and, on the keyboard, point
to emoji you select (you may need to use an application other than the
default keyboard that you access emoji, or at least emoji you want).
