Look & feel - screen rotation - auto rotate & ensure auto rotate in settings is active. It takes a little while for the view to kick into another layout but it definitely works.

Hello. People, may be I'm not the only one...

I've got Note-II, fast and stable ROM, everything is fine with free memory, no task killers or anything like that.

I made 9 desktops with 5x4 grid, filled them all with widgets. Widgets are nothing too much special, well-tested soft from Google Play.

Only a very few widgets are 4x4 or 5x4, but still nothing too heavy.

And Nova closes sometimes on gestures or scrolling (Application closed) and stably 1-2 of the widgets are not being (re-)drawn.

It says "cannot load..." instead of drawing. It happens with 1-2 random of 4-5 widgets. I switch off the screen, wait a bit, switch it on again,

or doing something full-screen (book, movie, phone talk) - it either draws all of the screen or again does not 1-2 another of these several

widgets.

ROM is very fast, HD movies, heavy games are no slow-downs or lags, but Nova is unstable on drawings and sometimes even shuts down.

What can it be?? Any custom kernel settings to use? I am not doing any under-clocking or playing with voltage.

Anything I could miss in Nova settings?

Big thanks.

Here's an odd issue...

I've always used Nova on my Galaxy Nexus, but I cannot set it up with a single homescreen. If I do so, any icons or widgets I have set up on that screen disappear, and it is totally blank. If I try to long press a shortcut onto the homescreen, the grid doesn't appear, and when I release the icon, it jumps offscreen to the left, like there's some invisible, unaccessible screen set on the left of the only available homescreen.

If I pinch the homescreen to show the page previews, it shows the icon is on the only homescreen, but when its zoomed back in, there's nothing visible or selectable.

This has persisted from the stock ROM to RasbeanJelly, Slimbean, and AOKP, with a number of Kernels (not like the latter would affect it)

I do not have this issue on my Nexus 7, just my Galaxy...

Ideas??

EDIT: Even when I open a folder that I have in my dock, I can see it springing open on that same invisible, unaccessible homescreen to the left..

Re: [APP 4.0+] Nova Launcher - 2.0.1beta5 Feb 16 2013

I might be experiencing a similar issue on my Razr M, stock 4.1.1. Several times since I installed the current beta, the widgets disappear on my home screen. Usually I can go in to the app drawer and back out to make them appear. I have only one home screen too.
[Nova Launcher] furkandeger:
Well I know It's been a loooooooong time since you posted this but just saying if it remained unresolved: I made the nova launcher a system app using Link2sd and the problem solved.(Main idea behind is to make it system app, link2sd or not.)

[Nova Launcher] khaytsus:
So you have 2-3 5x4 widgets and let's guess 6*2 5x2 widgets, for at least 15 widgets. If you have smaller ones, it's more than that.

I suspect Android is simply killing the process because it's too large. Too many widgets, each one of them needing ram, etc.

[Nova Launcher] DesignGrits:
Hey Kevin@TeslaCoil, have you noticed that if you increase the grid size of the homescreen and try to tap and hold or move icons to the very bottom row they disappear? I have tried it on many sizes and seem to happen all the time. I tend to use 9x5 or 10x5 if you wanted to try and replicate it. Its almost like the grid doesn't expand all the way to the bottom of the screen so if I drag the icon too far down to the bottom the grid will disappear and thus make the icon disappear when I release it. It happened on my old GNote and now on my Nexus 4 so I know its not just me. Might be something to look in to.

Re: [APP 4.0+] Nova Launcher - 2.0.1beta5 Feb 16 2013

This one is awesome. Fast!

One thing I wanna see on this is the ability to place the app icons / widgets ( on the homescreen) anywhere I want. Like not in an order at a particular distance b/w 2 icons.

Launchers like next launcher, TSF shell can do this. Need this one badly. It consumes lesser RAM than the Next launcher which is why I shifted to this and I love to have that feature!

[Nova Launcher] jackyhk02:
I guess I found a "bug". I don't know if I am the only who have this problem. :confused:

I am using Galaxy nexus (4.1.2) and nova beta5. I have 3 pages of home screen and only 1 page of dock icons.

When I swipe from right to left on the dock, the whole home screen is also swiped to the other page.

I consider it as a "bug" because in the previous versions (beta3 and the version before), swiping from right to left on the dock will not swipe the home screen. And if you try to swipe from left to right on the dock icons, the home screen does not switch. :rolleyes:

(The reason for me to swipe from right to left on the dock icons is that I am using PGM Nexus, and the swiping can lock the screen, without pressing the solid power button.)
[Nova Launcher] pofadda:
Is there a speed hit using folders on the desktop?

I hope this an adequate place to ask this...

I have had experience of slow desktops with other launchers in the past when I made extensive use of folders on the desktop. Can I expect this in some degree with Nova, please? What strategy(ies) should I use to keep its responsiveness up, e.g. fewer icons, fewer folders, smaller folders, no live wallpapers or widgets? My concern is specifically with the Nova launcher; I'll ask the same question about other aspects of phones elsewhere.

Thanks for a wonderful launcher!
[Nova Launcher] khaytsus:
I think in general the more folders, icons, pages, widgets used.. The more ram is going to go up, and the more processing the launcher has to do.

A long time ago I started putting my most used apps on the desktop in folders, and the other stuff I'd just go to the app drawer for.. But now I have a 6x6 on my phone (8x6 on laptop), three desktops, all but 4 or so spaces taken, and most of them folders. So I see higher memory usage than if I had more in the drawer.

But it's not significant to me, and it's quicker access to the stuff I use, so I leave it this way. :)

At the moment I'm using Car Widget, but it doesn't work very well with custom icons. Also the order of the apps can't be changed.

I've also tested Desktop VisualizeR, but somehow I don't really like it. It is a little bit outdated. It hasn't changed much in the last years. And there are enough things that could be changed or added.

At the moment I'm testing Icon Changer and it looks really promising.

Of course it would be better to be able to resize shortcuts directly in the launcher.

Specifically this is in the framework which a user app never touches.

[Nova Launcher] djmcnz:
Hi Kevin, these were issues that I saw from about beta 4 or 5 on - this doesn't mean they didn't exist in prior betas though.

With beta 8 I have just experienced:

Double-tap gesture stops working, launcher restart required. ALL other gestures continue to work.

Home button assignment (in my case = app drawer if on default page) eventually fails to respond, launcher restart required.

After 'spamming' the home button that now works again, double-tap does not... until I open Nova settings. Initially I reported a launcher restart is required, apparently not - simply opening settings (to save a backup for you) and returning to the home screen resolved the double tap gesture.

Swipe down gesture still works, as does swipe up gesture. Both of the above, although different functions, died at the same time (coincidentally my Bezel Apps swipe in WidgetLocker died at the same time).

Will the settings backup help? Or is it better to wait for it to reoccur and try to get a logcat?

EDIT: The home button and gesture problems may not be linked, my double tap gesture went down this time but my home button was fine. I looked at the logcat live and nothing is logged whether the gesture is successful or not so that won't help. I'll mail my config.

Regarding:

Nova "action" to display quick settings does not work if notification bar is hidden

Actually I can elaborate on this, it might not be a Nova problem. If I create a desktop shortcut (to Nova Action) then Quick Settings will work if notification bar is hidden. If I use Nova settings to assign this action to "Long Press Menu" the function works...

However... If I use AOKP to set "Long Press Menu" and select Nova Actions / Show Quick Settings then it does NOT work if the notification bar is hidden... in fact it "queues" the request until the notification bar is displayed then it shows the Quick Settings... which is of course unexpected behaviour.

So, in the end I'm not sure if it's a Nova or AOKP problem/limitation.
