Looks like they updated the Essential Resources app through the play store to include full screen support for Nova Launcher

Other apps affected?

The description implies any app may be able to use full screen. What is required to get other apps to use full screen?

I am using the beta copy of Nova Launcher v5.5 beta 2 and it works very well.

No complaints thus far

I don't have this app and don't see it in the play store

Nevermind I found it searching essential products on play store. Update fixed Nova launcher. I had factory reset today so whitelist app and ADB fix was erased.

Use the whitelist app posted in this forum. It's on Google Play.

I have no idea what the Essential app did other than whitelist Nova.

It didn't seem to do anything for me. I turned off whitelisting from the app and Nova reverted to old behavior. Maybe it's just whitelisting and if you already had that setup it doesn't do anything else.

I installed the v 5.5. beta 2, but won't work for me, I still have to use the white list hack. Strange huh?

Can you try removing the notification bar in Settings - Look & feel and see if Nova still fills up the screen? When I remove the notification bar Nova won't fill up the screen.

Thanks.

I removed the notification bar and opened several items. The notification bar would appear and then disappear. In took a screenshot of the camera showing no notification bar.

I see in the upper-right corner the noise level, WiFi, network, and clock. No notifications though.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for this. With the notification bar removed, can you post a screenshot of your homescreen? That's were the notification bar should be hidden. I'm used to have it hidden so I hope this will work for me also.

The image does not cover the status bar area. I see what you mean. Hmm, interesting

Thanks for taking the time to show me, much appreciated.

Yeah, interesting indeed. I hope this will be fixed in a future update.

I already had the whitelist editor installed and Nova was selected. Even after the update, when I deselect nova on the whitelist editor, it's no longer full scene. Not sure if the whitelist editor overrides the company's update... either way I rather use the whitelist editor than wait on Essential to update their whitelist. Lol

Seeing the same thing on mine. Luckily the whitelist editor works so well it's not really an issue.

Guess it is time I install the whitelist editor.
