Is there a way to have widgets in the dock, i.e. Smart Shortcuts, Tiny Flashlight? I was able to do this with LauncherPro and have missed it dearly since getting into the G-Nex goodness.
[Nova Launcher] HotLZ:
Don't know if it's a bug or not, but I'm missing icon labels in landscape now.
[Nova Launcher] talhamid:
@Kevin: MAny, many, many thanks for the update.

But...are you kidding me? I am sorry, sir, your icon looks fugly, it needs to change and fast. If you specify the resolution etc I can try to make one, see if you and users like it. This app is ready for prime time and deserves a better icon.

Anyone with me on this?
[Nova Launcher] psohn:
So far b7 is working well except for the dock bar scrolling, it seems to be slower and using a transition? Home screen scrolling also feels a little slower but only a tad.

Also, one of my home screens threw a widget on top and lost that icon row when I moved/reordered the screens.

I love the the shortcut to settings from the home screen! Any chance of adding another shortcut there for the phone settings as well so I don't have to throw it on the dock. :) Maybe an icon on the left side of the title?

I like how the home button now does a home/preview as well!

Great work!

Hello, Just wanted to make sure before i install this.. if i want this as a system app.. and if i read the OP correctly i just flash the novalaucherupdate.zip via CWM? and do i need to clear cache or anything? thanks.
[Nova Launcher] WormDoes:
I'm still getting FCs with 7. Every time I reboot Nova becomes unusable. I have it installed as a system app and never had this issue until 6. Any advice?

edit: uninstalled, reinstalled (manually and zip) and still getting FCs. I'm stumped

edit2: installed apk and all is fine. clearly something in 7 isn't playing nice with system?
[Nova Launcher] Jet300:
Same issue here. I wonder if its a bug or not ...

Also, has anyone else noticed the drawer being empty when "Downloaded" is selected from the Apps tab in the app drawer? :confused:

Love the new beta, and really appreciate the Voice Search icon option. Thanks!
[Nova Launcher] allen2oo3:
same issue with home button behavior. other than that, its working wonderfully. thank you
[Nova Launcher] LocutusEstBorg:
There are some bugs with the home button on my SGS2 XXKP8. Even when pressing the home button inside an app, the home button action event fires after it returns to the home screen (i.e. the preview screen shows up instead of just going to the home screen).

Another problem is even though I've set the home button action to Default Screen, the preview screen still pops up for a fraction of a second when I press the home button.
[Nova Launcher] mmeidl78:
Again - Great Work !! I Love Nova Launcher and it's Features.

Is the "more-than-9-apps-in-a-folder-sorting-problem" fixed in the latest beta7? :)
[Nova Launcher] maxkobi:
So I just updated from beta 5 to 7 and seeing a pretty bad bug. When I enter my app drawer the home screen I was on is center but the others will off center like the pic below. Any idea why? On axiom 2.3 with 1.3 lean kernel but when using beta 5 everything was perfect. Any idea?
[Nova Launcher] maxkobi:
Noticed this also... and I'm 100% sure beta 5 never did this. And yes its for sure a system app
[Nova Launcher] Tordp:
I would love to have an option to show/hide scrolling indicator in home screen and drawer. This feature would allow me to have a 5x4 grid with persistent search bar on my Nexus S. Its not possible today because the icon text of the lowest row is being written on top of the scrolling indicator.
[Nova Launcher] vin2win:
anyone know why it says Parse error after my download ? thanks
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
I like ADW and I like standards, so if it's technically reasonable I will support ADW Icon themes for the app drawer. For non-app-icons the theme format will obviously have to be different due to having different resources. Nova will be themeable, but I can't say with what format or when at this time.

Not at this time. Something I've thought about. Also I don't think Launcher Pro allwos widgets in the dock? Note that there are shortcuts versus widgets. ICS groups both into the "widgets" category in the drawer. But they behave different as shortcuts are basically the same as apps and can be put in the dock (both on stock ICS and on Nova).

Nova will automatically disable them if there isn't enough vertical space for them to fit properly. But it sounds like there might be some other issue. Haven't had a chance to investigate yet.

Yeah my magic is in code not photoshop.

I'm rather proud of my WidgetLocker icon, though I feel it looks a bit flat compared to the ICS style icons. The Nova icon I feel is a fine place holder but I would like something a bit nicer in the future.

512x512 for Market assets, 96x96 for xhdpi devices including the Galaxy Nexus, optionally 72x72 for hdpi devices like the Nexus S and optionally 48x48 for mdpi devices like the Xoom.

I've actually been thinking of doing a 99designs contests for the icon and will post a link here when/if I do that. (though if you or someone else does something really kick ass and that matches my image/style before then and I chose to use it instead I can send some money for it, but I don't want to cause drama/conflict so it might be easier/more clear to wait for the contest where the rules are document).

I don't think I've seen this on my Nexus S but might be a grid size issue. If that's the case it will be properly fixed even with the indicator visible, but I do plan on making the indicator configurable anyway so that will likely happen too.

I've seen the other posts and it sounds like some other things might need investigating. I haven't had a chance to do so, so I have nothing to report. This does not mean it's being ignored.

I already purchased the Nova Launcher Prime in the google play store but still it doesn't work on v2.0beta10? how come?
[Nova Launcher] jcsy:
probably cause this is Nova 2.x

and the paid PRO version is for Nova 1.x

anyways, i bought the PRO and didnt really use any of the features

[Nova Launcher] Braneless:
It does work with the betas, including v10. Have you installed the pro key from the play store?
[Nova Launcher] 19-2000:
Do a nova backup, then go in system settings, applications, nova, delete data&cache settings. Restore nova backup. It is from beta 5 that I do this operation when new betas apk are released. Before doing this it happened that all new bug fixes of the new betas were not actually working.

Give it a try.

Btw, with beta 10, on my S2 (updated just this morning on that device actually) it happens that it goes in deep sleep after screen off and it will not wake back again. Hard reset woth power button is the only way. I don't know if on this S2 only beta10 is broken because i made direct jump from 1.3.4 - beta10, so i can't say if it would go in deep sleep even with older betas. Yes I did what just suggested of vlanung cach&data of nova but didn't work.

Got nova prime and am using the latest beta. Keep having an odd issue within the widgets or apps screens. Everything disappears? Comes back a bit later but keeps doing it...
[Nova Launcher] sabret00the:
It should work. Clear cache and stuff.

Stop spreading FUD. Seriously this is supposed to be a bull**** free thread.

It only works horizontally.
[Nova Launcher] Ridho1:
Kevin, I just notice that you have not completely merge code from 4.2 launcher.

If you swipe to the right in the app drawer, the moved page should be fades out (becomes bit transparent, not only moved to the left).

I dont know if you missed it or you have decided to dont implement that, but trust me it gives smoooother feeling.

Thanks!
[Nova Launcher] solarus2011:
Kevin...thanks for the constant work...excellent. I have been using Beta 10 since release and can report that the issue with clock widgets seems to be fixed. Haven't had it happen since. Thanks again.
[Nova Launcher] eelton:
I've noticed this same issue since going back to a Touchwiz ROM on my Galaxy S3. It was smooth with an AOSP ROM. Interestingly, I notice the lag only when scrolling to the left (i.e., swiping to the right) on my home screen, after closing an app. And it's only with the default home screen, not other home screens. It appears that swiping causes the wallpaper to move instantaneously, but the icons and widgets don't start moving until a few tenths of a second later.

It's not a big deal at all, but it was noticeable after not having had it previously.
[Nova Launcher] benbailey84:
I tried updating to beta on my N7 and it wouldn't update because nova is the default launcher on rom I am running. When I uninstall and try to install from play store gives me error. It won't install from your website. Anything I am missing that I should do?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Try using TiBu to convert Nova from a system app to a user app. That should solve your problem. If not, make a Nova backup, then clear the app data and try updating again.
[Nova Launcher] benbailey84:
Got it. Had to install from site then upgrade to beta. Weird, tried that earlier and it didn't work. Oh well. Lol
[Nova Launcher] 19-2000:
Make nova backup, install apex (temporarily), make him default launcher, clear data & cache nova, uninstall nova, install nova beta apk. Ifvworks, restore backup, switch back nova to default. I would say to keep apex. If, for any case, next beta is bugged that crashes ans make nova FC, you have a backup launcher. If you have root, in the meantime you can freeze apex launcher (remember to de-freeze before installing new version of beta/stable version of nova)

Sorry to say I spoke too soon. Its just happened again, clock reads 18:17, but its 8:17.
[Nova Launcher] Braneless:
Are you sure that this isn't an app or phone setting problem? I haven't seen this issue with any of my HDWidgets, UCCW, or AOSP clocks.
[Nova Launcher] solarus2011:
The more I think about it, its probably a BW issue. I'm using BeWeather with a BW skin for the widget. I'm a noob with programming, but I'm not sure how Nova could be the cause and given all the problems with BW 5.0 its more likely a problem with BW. Still thought it was worth mentioning b/c I don't remember when all my updates to apps, ROMs, and kernels were made.

How can I add shortcut to the folders(from drawer) to my desktop?
[Nova Launcher] pmugghc:
Hard to drop icons into homescreen Folders

Hi, using Nova Prime 2 Beta 10, awesome. But I have a problem on both my N4 and N7 (running 4.2.1), when I try to drag an icon from the drawer onto a Folder on the home screen (in order to add that icon to that Folder) then the Folder jumps to another place more often than not. It is very hard, sometimes I manage to get it in, but it's like chasing the Folder, it just moves to another spot. Any option to turn-off that movement ?

It would be really cool if you could drag a Drawer Folder to a homescreen, and to create a shortcut to a Tab.

Thanks

[Nova Launcher] jgodfrey01:
This one seems fixed in beta 10 - thanks!

This one is still problematic in beta 10. The dock scrolling animation works sometimes, but seems very fragile and simply quits working after paging back and forth a few times.

This one also seems fixed in beta 10 - thanks! Though, as others have noted, even with the search bar and dock turned off, when in landscape mode on my 7" Galaxy Tab, there is a lot of unused space on the left and right edges of the screen.

icon animation on click / press

Hi, can someone help me with this question?

I would like to have some sort of an animation, like make the icon bigger, or highlight it in a visible way, or to produce a vibration, or other suggestion, when we press in a icon of desktop, to launch it.

Sometimes, I just dont know if when i press certain icon, if the system acknowledge it, or if i have to press it again !!! so if there were some animation as i described above it would be much more simple to know that ;) and also much more cool :)

[Nova Launcher] wolverine73:
This is a feature which before was limited to dock icons but now is available to be used on any home screen icon..

If you long press on a home screen icon a little menu pops up - choose 'edit' and you will have another menu pop up with the 'swipe action' listed - just choose an action to be launched when you swipe upwards on this icon :)

For example I have a folder on my home screen containing a load of bookmarked websites. Now with this swipe feature I have added the function of the following ;

If I swipe upwards on this folder it launches straight to my browsers homepage - of course I could have my home page as a bookmark in the folder but with this new swipe action enabled it is one less step to getting where I want!

You can set swipe gestures for applications and all sorts - have a play and see what you come up with!

I only have one "issue" with the new version so far. Whenever I press the home button on a non-default homescreen it takes too long to get to the default screen. Anyone else with the problem? It happens even with wallpaper scrolling disabled.

---------- Post added at 02:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 AM ----------

Pressing the home button even when on the default screen just "refreshes" the home screen and if you immediately launch the app drawer its loading. The hell? Why would the launcher restart on home button press? :confused:

Using Nova Launcher Prime on a Galaxy Note 10.1.

The lower dock has three screens. When viewing the middle dock, the last icon on the Right from the next screen over shows on the left side of the screen. It is unclickable unless you roll the dock over to the screen where it is actually located. Why is that? <See pic>

I have the lower dock set to 9 items, 3 screens. All docks have 9 items. THis is the only screen affected. I uninstalled and reinstalled then restored, No change.

If I delete the last icon on the most leftward dock, nothing shows - but it is in the same (relative) position as icons on the other 2 dock screens and they don't have this issue.
