replacing razer Nova with Nova prime beta?

[mikeandjaimie]

Anyone figured this out yet? Razer Nova says 5.4.8 is latest where as Nova beta is in 5.5.x and adds all the oreo features.. I've tried updating through play and razer Nova itself but they both say up to date with 5.4.8 while still showing 5.5.3 as current version.

Try backing up your current Nova backup, then disabling the factory (Razer) installed version.
See if you can download the latest version from Nova's website or XDA Labs or www.apkmirror.com.

EDIT: Thought the factory installed version of Nova could be disabled,my mistake...........

Just tried it out for myself,the apk from Nova's website won't install over the Razer version, says the package is corrupt.

Yeah that's the problem I'm finding as well. I just want the oreo features, I'm a nova Prime user so got used to certain layout on my old 6p. Hope they make this updatable

I was happy to hear they are using Nova as the default launcher....but I also wondered about updates from the play store...or maybe from Nova directly? I would not be happy if we had to wait on Razer to push an update to the Launcher.

think this is a change that's gonna have to be implemented by razor or root access

with the latest version of Nova Launcher is this still the same thing ?

I just noticed its two different app but not sure what id get for the 50p (uk price) over the version i have shipped on the phone.

Its it as simple as backing up my app setting for nova and then deleting the app before downloading and installing prime and retrieving my backup

you can't delete it without root as it's a system app but the name has been changed so it will update properly now from the app store the version on the phone is the premium version pre licensed

Thanks i downloaded the app and for a period of a few seconds i had both apps, i clicked the prime icon and it then said these features are now available in the old one and then deleted the new icon

My phone apps screen says Nova Launcher and Nova Launcher Prime (2 apps) have i bought something i didnt need and had already as the phone is from Razer or has it unlocked additional settings. hope this isnt going to try and run 2 programs or anything odd

Prime always shows an icon after installing an disappear after you open it. The new version from the play store has replaced the stock version.
