A new update! There even is a workaround for slow notification animation (that requires root). Really appreciate it, although unfortunately it does not work with CM13 on N5. Could be because of the busybox -> toybox change.

Edit: Also noticed that in vertical app drawer the app grid values are messed up in portrait. The row numbers do not match. In landscape they are correct. Anyone else?
[Nova Launcher] shaolinsoldier:
Same issue here with app drawer, even if I change grid settings, it switches back to 1 row on screen

[Nova Launcher] noobhero:
correct me if i'm wrong

was there this option in the past allowing us to lock the widgets on screen from interaction.

if there was it is no longer available yah?
[Nova Launcher] sordna:
What version has this, and how do you make Nova lock the screen (without a 3rd party screen lock app) ?
[Nova Launcher] yomiguy:
It's available since last betas as you can see in the screenshot ;)

In nova settings you go to gestures and you can select any gesture to lock the screen. I use two knocks.

Once you select it you go to your home screen and try the gesture, it will say you need to give permission. You give it and finally you can lock your screen with your selected gesture ;)

I prefer the double tap for app search, but I use the pinch gesture to shut the screen off. Previously I had to use a separate app for this. I'm glad it's now included. One less thing to have installed (and running). Yeah!

I'm also really enjoying the scroll bar in the app drawer. The little animation on the first app of a letter you scroll to is an awesome touch.

Its these little things that keeps Nova one step above the rest. :)

I really like the new scroll bar, makes finding apps a breeze.

I have been using Nova Prime since ICS, what is that, 4 years now? I think it is time for a new donation to this awesome developer.

What do ya say folks, who's with me!!
[Nova Launcher] mrdoug:
With the latest beta update the search bar color is changeable. This presents a problem for me as I liked the white search bar and a black app drawer. The fonts can't be one and the same. Arrgghh. I hope this is just an interim change until he adds separate controls. ?

[Nova Launcher] swieder711:
I have a small issue with the menu key and a question about it.

The small issue is when i use the Menu key from Nova launcher it shows Wallpaper, Manage Apps, Nova Setting and System settings. When I select Manage Apps it bring me to the Manage Apps page, but the apps are not listed until I hit the gear key. Until then I just get a spinnng circle. I started seeing this problem after upgrading to Marshmallow.

My question is whether is is possible to change the menu button items. For example, I dont use Wallpapers and would prefer to replace that item with something that I do use like Root Explore

[Nova Launcher] Tricks25:
Ive been using this launcher ever since and it is really hands down one of the best launchers out there but theres one small thing i just want to say which will hopefully improve this app.

When opening apps, there is this slight delay when you press the icon then the app will open. Compared to stock s6 touchwiz launcher or action launcher 3, when you press an app icon it will almost immediately open but with nova there is this slight delay/pause before opening an app.

I know it might be a small thing for others or some may even say that im just insane but im really just sensitive to small things like this. I hope you can look through this.

Nexus (maybe Marshmallow) doesn't seem to like software screen lock apps. The fingerprint reader does not work unless you lock with the power button.

I'm using the two finger swipe down for screen off, with the root option. The fingerprint scanner works fine to wake/unlock this way.
[Nova Launcher] MrKaon:
Maybe because I don't have a root or the way Nova is locking the device :
[Nova Launcher] adrman:
Most likely the case. The root option/screen off seems to be replicating a Tasker command I had set up to work with Nova via the same gesture.

Not Nova's fault.

As you can see here this problem has been reported a while ago in Lollipop.

Google is ignoring it.

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79735

I suppose that the root metod simulates the Power Button and that's why it works.

Yeah you are right that bug been there since Lollipop days. :good::eek:

i have posted this on suggestion section of nova's website but anyone else think the animations and whole eye candy part of this launcher is a bit lacking?

dont get me wrong still i think its the best launcher available for android and thats why i paid for premium version but it could improve on that area.

More eye candies and animations mean slower and bigger launcher. Fast and small have always been NOVA launcher's philosophy. If you want more eye candy and animation, get next 3D launcher.

Interesting. The double tap to wake was not working well on my Xperia Z5 Compact (worse than usual). I disabled Nova's screen off that I had assigned to double tap and now the Xperia wake gesture is back to "regular” bad instead of terrible as it was with Nova's gesture enabled. [emoji15]
[Nova Launcher] penfold:
Thanks for confirming it's not just me.

Nova's screen lock function obviously has some weird effect on the phone sensors.

I'm not on G+ so if anyone can point this bug out to the dev thanks

I read the op and change log but couldn't understand. Help me please. Is the feature of recently used apps under app search implemented or not?
[Nova Launcher] scottjb:
There is a row of recently used apps at the top of the app drawer, which you can turn off. In app search there is a row of recently install or updated apps.
[Nova Launcher] Vtrendzzy:
I know that. And i want the recently used apps tab under app search. I don't keep app drawer. I just double tap home screen and app search comes.
[Nova Launcher] scottjb:
OK, I thought you were asking what was implemented. If you're making a feature request you should do it on Google+. I don't think the developer reads this thread.

I made a request in his website. There's a section especially for requests. And then people vote on your request.

Hey guys,

I'm having a problem where a lot of the time when returning to the launcher, the google search bar at the top has disappeared. sometimes if I open an app and close it, or turn the phone off and on it will return, but usually I have to go into the settings and restart the launcher. I've tried tweaking all the settings including the ones in the labs, making it run persistently, etc, but nothing seems to work, any ideas?

When you set up the gesture for screen off, Nova will offer a root option. If you don't have root, you may not get the dialog offering it. I'm not sure, since I'm rooted. As I understand things, with MM, there's no way to do a screen off without lock unless you have root.

[Nova Launcher] Kenia1234:
It's the greatest launcher ever. But it has some limitations and problems, and we need :

1)EASY way to create folders in app drawer!! (It's way too complicated right now, and if you update the apps the icon pop again out of the folder)

2)Need for a no-app drawer mode (just as an option, it could be useful for ex iPhone users)

3)Inclusion of a real theme engine (not just icons) to make even option menu themable

If you add these three things to this launcher there will be no more to complain about it. :)

Keep up the good job!

Strangely I cannot install this as a system app now - if I do it just force closes on boot and I can't use my phone.

I had multiple wakelock problems with CM9 on my GS2 so reverted to an older version. When I booted up the widgets weren't in the drawer (and the option was greyed out in Nova settings). I installed the update .zip again and it resulted in constant FC's on boot.

I have tried to fix permissions to no avail.

Any suggestions?

Running beta12 on Codename 1.1.1 @ 240dpi with Ezekeel's latest kernel. Fresh install.

Problem occurs after returning Home from app drawer. A piece of the screen to the right shows up on the right side of main screen. The problem instantly corrects itself as soon as you move the screen in either direction. Reproducible 100% of the time.

My sample Homescreen on boot...

I hit the app drawer:

Then hit the Home button:

Notice the right side of the Timeline widget, it includes the left side of the GReader widget from the screen to the right...

Problem corrects itself as soon as you move the screen 1 pixel to left or right.

Hide Dock

Hi,

thank you very much for this great development.

Is there also an possibility to

hide

the dock completly?

Ideally, there should be an option in settings of Nova Launcher to hide the dock.

Additional I would like have a function to append the App-Drawer-Icon as a Soft-Key of Android 4.

This should increase the usable Home-Screen sizes and enable the user to open the App-Drawer in every App outside the Nova Launcher.

I know, a modification of Soft-Keys needs a rooted device.
