Have you set up the pictures in MPLW? To get to the settings, long press on a Nova homescreen, select Wallpaper > Live Wallpaper > MultiPicture Live Wallpaper. Then hit Settings, and configure it the way you want it. If you have 5 screens, you'll need to create 5 screens by selecting the Add Individual Screen Settings option 5 times. After you've configured it the way you want, just hit back and hit Set Wallpaper.

The issue that I've found, at least with Nova, is that this doesn't work in portrait mode. I posted about it earlier, but didn't get any responses.

I'm starting to wish I hadn't paid for this app. Maybe I've been spoiled by the excellent service of other developers, but it's pretty clear that this developer doesn't seem to care much. It's only a few dollars, so no big deal (and I only paid a quarter anyway), but it's more the principle of the matter.

I think I stand corrected on the MPLW issue. There's a setting in MPLW labeled "workaround for some home applications" that needs to be set to "ignore vertical movement" in order to get it work right in portrait.

Super slow development of essential features even if they have millions of votes in they "request" site, like folders from drawer to desktop, moving apps to folders easier and stuff like that.

It is a good launcher, but not knowing anything of the future development or any word from the dev like apex to know whats going next it is like "its my app, **** you and your opinion, I will code what I want when I want, and if that it's not good for you, then **** you again because I am not going to bother in give an answer".
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I suggest you learn how to code then, and build a launcher on your own. Then release it to the public, and sift through the millions of requests/demands on your time, made by people who don't know your life's schedule or anything else about you.

Pooley's comment was made in a rational, respectful manner... Yours on the other hand, smacks of arrogance and entitlement. I don't know what "essential" features you think this launcher is lacking... The options you mentioned are extra perks, that would be nice additions, but are certainly not essential to using your device.

Again, until you personally contribute code, themes, apps, ROMs or something else to the Android community, you should refrain from insulting those who do. Kevin has given us something that is free to use, with the option to purchase additional features, so you're not locked into using Nova. How he decides to develop the app is his business, and he has added features that users have suggested and/or voted on. If the development speed isn't up to your liking, you are completely free to use another launcher... Nobody is stopping you.
[Nova Launcher] ICavalera:
I allready asked here... even went to your request pages and voted to get two line app name on Nova.

With big screen it will get very good having all name shown. I bought this app because i think is the best, but... for me that one those things that really would be great on this app.

Cheers
[Nova Launcher] dragontology:
Disable your wallpaper. Put the icons you want on your dock, on your home screen. Take a screen shot. Now change the icon of each dock icon. Select the screenshot. Crop down to the icon, but include the text. This will necessarily make the icon smaller. But that should do ya like you want.

[Nova Launcher] tbessie:
Nova STILL regularly forgets which app drawer was last selected and reverts to the first one - c'mon Kevin, this is highly annoying and inconvenient, and I would think would be an easy fix... put a breakpoint where the app drawer index is set and see where this is happening unexpectedly, eh?

Am I the only one who sees this happen?

I don't think his post is as bad as you've made out. I think that Kevin could in fact be a little more customer facing. By no means should he suddenly start replying to every post. But the odd post between releases to acknowledge issues that flood the thread don't hurt. Frustration builds up when people feel like their communication falls on deaf ears.

I can't get transparent nav bar to work. Status bar though. My launcher refreshes and for a second, it's transparent and then it goes solid black.

Maybe a rom issue? For me it's working perfectly after disabling that option in labs menu as Kevin instructed.

[Nova Launcher] Danthemanz:
Just installed the latest update onto my nexus 10.

apparently it contains some 4.2 tweaks?

My frame rate of the home screens have dropped and CPU usage has gone up while scrolling. Is this in my head or was something in the rendering changed? It already wasn't running 100% smooth before with lots of icons but it appears much worse and is really noticeable.
[Nova Launcher] rsage:
No you're not the only one, happens to me all the time. That and the lack of infinite scroll in the app drawer are why I had to go back to the otherwise inferior Holo Launcher HD.
[Nova Launcher] slozo:
This launcher is amazing! :highfive:

I just have one question, is it possible to add additional widgets to my home screen? I only see certain widgets, can I add some more?
[Nova Launcher] Kurre:
Hmm..dunno if I understood you correctly...but long-press homescreen and add widget? Same as in all of the launchers out there :) there isn't any limitation for the widgets..even homescreen space doesn't limit it too much since we can use overlapping widgets etc.

Multiple Wallpapers

Thanks! Got it working, all I had to do was select settings >> desktop >> wallpaper scrolling >> on .. so all good now ;)
[Nova Launcher] omair2005:
I'm surprised infinite scroll hasn't been implemented in the app drawer.. also in the app drawer, the ability to make folders by dragging icons on top of each other..
[Nova Launcher] khaytsus:
All system widgets are there. There are no limitations.

Launcher-specific widgets, like ones in Touchwhiz framework, the stuff in LauncherPro, etc like that, are not standard widgets and will not show up. I'm sure there are other examples of widget-like non-standard widgets.
[Nova Launcher] maciekbe:
If I understand correctly,... yes, you can download new widgets from Play store. There are some apps too which add their own widgets. For example, Facebook app adds widget to show newsfeed on homescreen. All new widgets will appear on standard add widget list.

Favorite Contacts Widget Will not Expand with Nova as Launcher

I have a widget called "Favorite Contacts." I don't know if it's a Verizon-specific or Motorola-specific widget, but my friends on AT&T and/or with Samsung phones don't have it. Anyway, in it's normal state, this widget shows you four contact's thumbnails in a 4x1 arrangement.

When Nova Launcher is not running

, if you swipe down on the widget, it expands to fill the remainder of the screen to show you the rest of your favorite contacts (contacts marked with a star in Google contacts), or as many as will fit.

Is this a known limitation of Nova Launcher. I really like this widget a lot, as it saves me much time. But being unable to expand the widget, it only helps me with the first four favorite contacts.

Is there a work-around?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
In general I think you're right. I know a lot of people would probably appreciate a bit more interaction with Kevin, but I guess we just have to deal with it until he has more time to allocate. I just wish people could show a little more respect, and display a bit more appreciation for developers, both here on xda and on Rootz as well... Otherwise we risk losing some of our best and brightest developers, which would be a horrible outcome.
[Nova Launcher] scottjb:
I believe that is a Motorola widget.
[Nova Launcher] ReD_AvEnGeR:

[Nova Launcher] HoochieCoo:
I am on stock Razr HD, which has the transparent status bar. The "fixes" didn't fully work for me either. First, it didn't change anything until I reinstalled. Then, the App Drawer was wonky until I changed the background transparency. Then...it all went back to wrong when I switched off wallpaper scrolling.

It's a mess. Holo HD, Apex, Action Launcher, and stock all work fine. I prefer Nova, but for now I uninstalled it and am running Apex.
[Nova Launcher] BluPix:
I'm only one who has problems touching to icons in Nova Laucher? It reacts different than rest of system, i must keep finger on icon much longer. It's something between click and long press. It look's like my touchpanel is unresponsible, so i often click on icons twice. I have same problem on all 3 android devices which i have home, so it's not hw problem and my father have same problem, so it's not only my personal problem.

I think it's some bug in gesture support (which i don't use).
[Nova Launcher] omair2005:
I've noticed when I uninstall an app, I have to restart Nova to remove it from the app drawer

enphasize touch... short press

Hi,

I moved to Nova Launcher, and I must say, this Launcher is one of the best i have tried!

the problem is maybe my phone dont have the ideal capacity of response (miniX10).. but i'm very happy it works now with JellyBean 4.1.2 :)

so, I would like to ask if there is a way, to visible highlight an icon when we press / touch an icon on the homescreen, because some times i dont know if this lag, is phone processing.. or i just have to press it again !

more perfect is nova launcher have haptic feedback for short press in the homescreen!

If someone have any workaround to solve this, please reply

Thks,
[Nova Launcher] rickysuper:
Yes. I got from the other sources mentioned that Beautiful Widget had issue after upgraded to v5. But strange is that all the other widgets got freeze after the latest update.

4.21 is highly experimental for the Note as is for the S2 so I would suggest that you confirm whether this bug happens in another launcher or not because I'm pretty sure this bug is ROM related (graphical glitches).

2.0 is amazing as a HTC guy stuck without ROOT.

I suspect folder backgrounds are resetting themselves to none. Does infinite scroll work vertically?

Also did 2.0 solve the S3 home button problem? I have a friend who doesn't wanna register on XDA and asks with every release.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
1) I've set up a folder with the platform background, so I can test, but so far it hasn't reset on me. It did reset in the private beta though.

Update: The folder background just reverted to None. Bug confirmed, but I do have UI lock on.

2) No, infinite scroll doesn't work vertically, and I'm not sure if there would be a point in making it loop like that.

3) Not sure about the S3 home button... Why doesn't your friend just back up his/her current version of Nova, and try the new beta for themselves? Not trying to be an ass... just asking an honest question.

*I hear ya on the no root for HTC man... I looked at the process for routing my girlfriend's Rezound, and told her to forget it. I have 5 rooted devices, and even I didn't want to go through the whole process. It's just a shame that there's no LTE Nexus for me to play with this year. :p
