I got the home screen layout all setup 3 reboots and widgets still stayed and showed up unlike nova and go where every reboot I'd have to reload all or most of the widgets.

I have never lost a Widget with Nova Prime, dunno what you are doing that is different.

Same here. Curious as to what widgets were having problems.

Perhaps Nova Launcher was not set as the default. A reload was done, another launcher was used, a manual setting of Home to Nova Launcher was then done.

This is purely speculation on my part.

The usual reason widgets don't load is if you move the app that produces the widget to SD, but that's the same for any launcher. So I admit this puzzled me too, since I've never heard of something like this before.

Of course manufacturers sometimes produce widgets that only work with their own launcher, so it's conceivable that if the widget developer and launcher developer are the same they might have produced a widget that only works with their launcher. It would certainly be useful to know what the widgets in question are.

(My homescreens have a mix of calendar, weather, clock, train timetable and music widgets, with no problem. None of these are Nova widgets, and TBH I didn't even know there were such things).

Nova doesn't have any Widgets built into the launcher.

I can sympathize with the OP. I'd like a 3D launcher too. Unfortunately, it seems like any of the decent (and still maintained) ones are based out of Russia or China, which I refuse to use.

I cant check right now, but does Lightning Launcher still exist? I know it was highly customizable some time ago, but I haven't checked back in on it to see what the developer(s) has done with it...

seems be still alive, and in several languages.

Whoever asked what widgets I had running on Go here it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66595570&postcount=597, roughly same exact setup on Next with the exception of Google Now search bar, GSam Batt widget, Me Photo Widget (Since Animated Photo Widget wanted to crap out on me with the newest update) and that's it really, only time I lost widgets was upon clearing out their app cache, other then that still running strong and no reminders to enable them again upon reboots.

I'm pretty sure Nova has an option to keep the widgets loaded in case you happen to have issues with it. Not sure if it's in the regular menu. Maybe the secret Labs menu (to activate, be in nova settings and hold volume down)
