Sorry, I thought I included this... My bad. It has issues no matter which keyboard I use (of the three installed)... Sense, SwiftKey, and SwiftKey beta.

I'm using unrooted, at&t store 'standard' htc one m7, with Sense 6 and Android 5.0.2.

Obviously, using nova launcher... Not certain what else I run that might get in the way. I have Power Toggles, my data manager (that's the name of it, believe it or not), and awesome icons (desktop shortcuts for the lockscreen). Nothing else seems to be actively running other than the usual suspects from att, htc, and Google.

I use power toggles too (and Xposed) but don't think that should matter.

Like i said this is looking like a KitKat issue, seems to me that Nova v4.0 is only compatible with Lollipop ? , but i could be wrong, we need all those having this issue to post what kind of phone it is and if it's on KitKat, btw i just tested this on my wife's SG6 Edge which runs Lollipop ? as well with all 3 keyboards and all works on that phone as well.

Hey themers theming Nova Launcher, does anyone know the value for text color used in App Search for the individual apps?

I'm looking for a way where I don't have to modify the apk itself, but allow for overlays to modify the text color (Theme Engine/RRO Layers)

"Recently installed or updated" is hardcoded under \layouts\drawer_search.xml as #ff3c3d3a. However Theme Engine can't touch this.

Don't be discouraged if you don't get a response, the developer for this launcher is one person. He is likely very busy with fixes, etc..

That said, there are some very savvy users here who may be able to help. However, Kevin doesn't come here. If it's a bug report, I'm sure kevin has added to his list and will fix it as soon as he can.

full dock background image

Is there a way I can add a dock background image without having to crop it? The drag and drop crop tool doesn't allow me to select the whole image I choose. And if I try to crop a dock image in landscape mode it force closes on me every time (I'm pretty sure this is a bug).

Because I can't select the whole image it makes all the straight lines in my image jagged. Perhaps someone knows a way to bypass the settings tool and edit an xml or something to put the image file name in directly without cropping?

kevin@TeslaCoil love that my folders don't bleed into the status bar anymore!

[Nova Launcher] phoneturf:
I have always used "faster than light" animation speeds, but with the last update, pressing the home button when I am another page, it now uses a "slower than molasses" setting to get back to the home page. Am I missing something?
[Nova Launcher] Sott:
I've a "graphic glitch" to report: I'm on Nexus 5 with Lollipop 5.1 (stock rom), when I press the recent button and open any of the recent apps displayed, then if I touch the homescreen button the "going out animation" is cut off, there is no animation at all. This happens also with any custom rom, so I think it's a minor materinova's bug... If someone will confirm what I've said would be better, so we can understand why it happens.

Thanks.

[Nova Launcher] hawkwind212:
A suggestion for people that are complainting about the infamous LP bright white blinding background. If you're using the custom ROM that's equivalent to LP 5.1.x, try turning on the color inversion function. I notice the inversion function comes with all the custom LP 5.1.x ROMs that I have used. You can find the function in either the system setting under the device section by itself. Or it can be turn on by adding it as a tile in the notification drawer. Now you know such function exist, you can't say the devs doesn't think about those users that like to keep things "dark". I like dark theme too, but I prefer to alter mine with the themes for the cm12 theme engine. So you see, perhaps that's why this dev didn't give much thoughts to the white back for complaints. Because he knows the bg can be inverted easily on LP rom. After all, this whole big over haul for the nova is about migrating to run smoothly on LP. Those of you with kk, I will say if you can, take a leap of faith and join the LP side of force. Otherwise, get a dark theme for the theme engine.
[Nova Launcher] oddspec:
Ya inversion inverts everything so it makes the rest of my dark stuff light way easier fix is to do what teslacoil supports says to do and install nova classic and good luck with 4.0 running smoother on Lp 3.3 runs way smoother and faster on LP just read some posts here

not every phone has a cm 12 rom/theme engine available at this point..my t mobile S6 edge does not, so what can I do to solve this issue?
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
For those of us that run stock roms are S. O. L. I personally would never use an aosp based rom. Always too flaky. Just use nova 3.3, as stated above it is waaaay ahead of 4.4 in functionality and smoothness. Launcher 3 is garbage compared to launcher 2.
[Nova Launcher] hawkwind212:
Read the bottom of my post, try the theme engine if you're using kk. Otherwise, have you're heard of XPosed module? There are many ways to adchive darkness on the launcher, you just have to look around and try. Also, don't t-mobile have a theme engine on the stock rom?
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Only about 12% of users are on lollipop. Most are still on jellybean, xposed is not an answer for everyone. But as i stated the latest is not always the greatest as is the point in nova. Nova 4 is garbage, 3.3 is light years ahead of it. Just go to the nova website and download 3.3

Nova just displays 3 of them and misses all of the others. Only way to use the other icon pack wallpapers is to search the app and change the wallpaper there.

[Nova Launcher] droidcol:
I just wanna say that if we are in Android it's because we are looking for freedom and customization features that allow us to have an unique phone and do whatever we want, saying things like "Google guidelines, sorry" just doesn't make any sense, otherwise I would highly recommend you to buy an iPhone in that case.

Use your freedom to install another app. There are plenty launcher that allow you to express your freedom on your phone. All that talk is ridiculous at this point.

"Google guidelines" actually makes a lot of sense. Some developers - like Kevin - actually prefer to stick to those guidelines, and make changes that enable the user to create their own experience. He's given us the power to paint our own Android experience, using the GEL launcher as the canvas.

It doesn't work with touchwiz themes. Those are only for the touchwiz launcher. Custom themes for nova can be found on xda or in the play store.

[Nova Launcher] incisivekeith:
Thanks, but I'm aware of that fact and that's kind of why I was asking if there was a way around it. Maybe I didn't articulate my question well in my first post.

It would be great to be able to use the growing number of themes for the S6 family on Nova Launcher.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Can't as they are a propietary of samsung. You need to apply for a certificate just to create your own themes for samsung which stipulates all themes can only be used on samsung devices. They require touchwiz framework to function. Not to say someone with a little know how couldn't copy it and make a nova compatible version, but any chance of those exact themes is highly unlikely. In fact from what i have seen so far, the newer themes for the s6 can't even be modified at all by a user for their own personal use.

LEGALIZE IT.
[Nova Launcher] wase4711:
that, plus the fact that almost all of those samsung themes just suck the big one...

the black one that was out the first day or 2 the phone dropped was decent, but they pulled that one..

If you want better icons in nova, there are tons of icon packs in the app store you can use..
[Nova Launcher] Rickav:
Hey there, was wondering about a certain feature request and whether it would be possible to implement it into MateriaNova. Will start off with a screenshot of my current homescreen.

You will notice the open Nova folder on the left with some Power Toggles/Zooper Widget shortcuts on the right. The question being, could it be possible to integrate folders in such a way that a given folder containing apps can be accessed with a 3rd party trigger? Such as one of Power Toggles buttons or even Zooper Widget's OnTap action.

In my experience, Nova launcher has served me well for longer than I can remember. And I recently found its app folder organization to be ideal for my usage. However, my homescreen is heavily based on Zooper Widgets so it is heavily dependent on touching specified areas and gesture driven events to get around my phone. Adding some sort of direct link functionality to open app folders would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks for the time you put into this.

Cheers.
[Nova Launcher] yomiguy:
I like a lot the new materinova, however I'm still feeling since betas versions a little lag in pages transition in app drawer. Maybe I have too many apps installed, but is anyone else having this issue?

I'm not complaining at all because everything else is working like a charm, smooth, fast... But this lag in transitions with my note 4 lollipop doesn't make much sense. It also has a little lag when opening app drawer for the first time in a while...

Hey, it is neat homescreen, what are you using there?
[Nova Launcher] sandfreak:
Not ideal but you could use a blank (transparent) png as the folder icon then place the folder on top of a Zooper widget in the area you would like to press to trigger the folder opening.

Again, not ideal, but maybe a workaround.

Background: This one from the Dark Material CM12 theme.

Launcher: Nova Launcher with status bar and dock disabled.

System Info: Zooper Widget Pro which is a very versatile and customizable apps to create widgets exactly to your liking: from system information (like I've done) to creating beautiful clock/weather widgets.

That should be all bases covered.

---------- Post added at 10:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 AM ----------

Definitely a solid idea, problem with that being the folders' aren't resizeable so they only occupy a small portion of the region I would like it to trigger it from.

Power Toggles offers a decent, although basic, solution as I was discussing here with the screenshot of their folder system attached below, each of which can be accessed by individual gestures/on-tap events through any 3rd Party apps:

If anyone could suggest a better place for me to log this as a suggested improvement, that'd be really appreciated, thanks.
[Nova Launcher] xo.en:
Oh, thank you for quick answer, mate...appreciate that.

Your homescreen reminds me winmo today setup, i love it(it is not easy to obtain with android).

About zooper, yes i know this app, just thinking about this skin - so, it is your skin, nothing i could download, yes?
[Nova Launcher] Rickav:
You could post a screenshot of your phone and see if some user could replicate it on Zooper for you. Not sure what you mean by skin as almost all of my set-up is just Zooper Widgets on Nova Launcher. As far as downloading goes, unfortunately there is nothing at the moment. The widgets themselves are currently a work in progress (notice text cutting off near the bottom) and there is plenty more to add.

If you want to get an idea of where I'm getting at, check out the show-off screenshot below:

[IMG="Concept Plan"]http://i.imgur.com/6DNYtNU.png[/IMG]

That was my set up a year or so back which I had planned to share but never got round to it since I was always going round changing bits and pieces of it endlessly. In recent times, the set up was much more fleshed out (more info, better accessibility, looked nicer etc) until I once flashed a fateful rom update without remember to take backups of the Zooper templates, thereby wiping everything clean. Long story short, I'm now back to re-creating what I had from scratch and making it even better by taking user-input/ideas during the construction. Hence, the Nova folder suggestion and all.

If it is skins you're looking for, I'd like to direct you to this thread which is what inspired my set-up in the first place. Sadly, many of the links are dead and the remaining ones rely on Buzz Launcher and/or UCCW, both of which are not really customizable from the user's end. However, if you have the time and creativity, you can absolutely pick up from where the OP left off and re-build it as you see fit on Nova and Zooper. That is my plan over the next few months or so.

You could also check out this one which is far more up-to-date and has a wealth of resources, skins and ideas to expand on even further.

Cheers.

Thanks, both. Icons pack is not the same as a whole new theme. I disagree that all the themes are crap for the S6.

There are full on themes for nova, not just icons and stuff. The themes for samsung is in very early development and i know some people that are itching to create their own themes for it. Unfortunately Samsung is being really stingy with their development /theme licenses. A lot of the themes are very childish or geared toward 12 year old girls from what i saw, but i'm sure they will get better.

For nova just do a google search for themes for nova, they usually include icons, wallpapers, fonts, and some have a skin. Not sure if they will be compatible with new nova though.

I have searched for nova themes but none match the likes of the Royal Indian theme. Maybe I'm just wishing for something that will be the norm a couple of years down the lane, but I see a huge potential in that area if someone wanted to develop a quality theme for Nova. Fingers crossed.

Btw, a few more cool themes got added today.
