Apparently, if you install the notification-bar-only widget while using the stock launcher and then switch over to Nova, the widget stays in the notification bar properly. If you're OK with enabling the "Widget Overlap" option in Nova Launcher, you can also just hide the notification bar widget under another widget on one of your home screens. That's what I'm doing, and it's very easy to forget it's there.
[Nova Launcher] chevyfan061:
Thanks so much carrot36... I just fell in love with nova again!
[Nova Launcher] Barsky:
Have been very happily using Nova Launcher for some time now. I even bought Nova Prime. Odd problem on my new Galaxy Note 10.1 I did not have using it on the Galaxy Tab 10.1. When I set a wallpaper in Nova is lowers the resolution of the wallpaper. If I switch back to the stock launcher the wallpaper is correct. Then, I switch back to Nova and it will stay correct....until the screen is shut off.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
[Nova Launcher] Milamber33:
The workaround for 99.999% of issues with static wallpapers is to use something like Wallpaper Wizardrii.
[Nova Launcher] Barsky:
Thanks. I'll give it a try. But, while a workaround may do, my concern is more that this particular tab could have a problem that will crop up down the line. I'd feel better if anyone else experienced this oddity. : -)

At any rate, if this app works for me, it'll keep me happy for now.
[Nova Launcher] Milamber33:
If you read back through the thread, I'm pretty sure you'll find that issues with wallpapers have cropped up on many devices and ROMs at various times. While it's good to report them in the hopes that they eventually all get ironed out, it's nothing to worry about from a hardware perspective. :)
[Nova Launcher] Barsky:
Interesting. First time I've heard of it and have been continutally romming various devices for the past couple years. Never seen it on my galaxy tab 10.1. Anyway, not doubting you or anyone else. Just a first for me. Thanks for the info.

BTW, this has been happening on the stock rom when I received it...no root, cwm or anything...if that makes a difference.
[Nova Launcher] Milamber33:
No, it doesn't make a difference, but thanks for clarifying. It was fine on the stock launcher but not fine on Nova, it's a bug in Nova, not a hardware fault.
[Nova Launcher] tierix:
Is there someone else here who uses Nova & BeWeather as a homescreen widget please?

Cause BeWeather with Nova is not drawing correctly, the temperature numbers are cut off at the top. It works fine with ADW.

Thnx
[Nova Launcher] bozzykid:
What phone are you using? If you are using the Galaxy Nexus for example, you need to make the dock large and set the number of rows to 4.
[Nova Launcher] Barsky:
A little more experimentation and I have found that this issue occurs on any non-stock launcher, not just Nova. I also tried Apex, and Go Launcher EX for Tabs. Anyway, thanks for the info
[Nova Launcher] tierix:
PHone is in my signature. I'll try to make dock big but if I have to have only 4 rows, then a launcher becomes totally useless! Especially since it works fine with ADW, that means it's an issue with Nova.
[Nova Launcher] scottjb:
As mentioned, set the rows to four. Also play with the desktop height margin. I have mine set to medium and BeWeather looks good.

blank homepage

Hi just updated my tf300 ww to jellybean and have always used nova. with the beta versions when you go to apps or run an application and back to home screen the screen is blank. if you scroll left or right it comes back. I only have one screen so that's not the problem. its not a redraw issue as it comes back so quickly. it did not do this on the latest ics firmware for this device

thought you would like to know for your info.

thanks

Its lightweight, and very customizable. I like it far better than go launcher
[Nova Launcher] Kurre:
If you're referring to rearrange feature of the Jellybean launcher, you'll have to disable "overlap when placing" feature. Because with that feature enable it will just overlap you're icons/widgets as it's supposed to do.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Do you mean the actual name of each folder? Open it, and you should see some generic grey wording, like "unnamed folder" or something. Tap that text, and you can type in a name of your choosing.
[Nova Launcher] jafazec:
Hi,I just installed your launcher on ARHD 5.0.2 for HTC Sensation.While the launcher is pretty damn good looking and functional,I've come across a problem..Wallpaper that was on while I used sense launcher,is now wrongly shown,its stretched pretty much.And on top of that I cant get to change it,because gallery or ES explorer FCs whenever i get to the point where i need to "click" "set as wallpaper" option.Any thoughts on this?
[Nova Launcher] spoidar:
I see numerous requests for restoring the system settings item to the context menu, and I'd like to add my voice. I understand your reasoning - there is now a settings icon in the notification panel - but every other launcher maintains a system settings entry in the menu, so it's convention, and it's also much more convenient than sliding down the notification panel and hitting the icon there.

I'd also like to add a vote for vertical scrolling in the app drawer - paging is painful! So nice to be able to flick once to hit the bottom, or vary flick force to hit roughly the right spot, vs swiping (potentially) many times to get from one end to the other.

I only mention these again to add some justification, and because they're not on the TODO.

Potential Problem

I have had this launcher since TH build 10 and it's great. About 6 hours ago I used the update zip file to install as system app. After that I have had a reboot when a call was finished and also the phone decided to call a friend when I was trying to call another one.

I do not overclock or undervolt on my I9000. I have now uninstalled it as a system apk and just runs it as a normal app.:confused::D
[Nova Launcher] Bazzz66:
Dev? Anyone? What could be the problem?
[Nova Launcher] jtambis6:
This is an awesome launcher. I love how you can auto rotate it. I just have one question and that is which icon packs is compatible with Nova Launcher. Most free icon packs in the Android market is compatible with ADW, Launcher Pro or Go Launcher EX.
[Nova Launcher] DreamingWolf:
IMHO just because something is convention doesn't make it the best way to do something (or even a good way for that matter) I actually like having the two settings buttons in different places. I'm not likely to go for one and hit the other by mistake with my fat fingers.

And I have to admit I cannot understand how you believe press menu button > press settings button is "much more convenient" than swipe notification panel > press settings button. Two actions either way.
[Nova Launcher] Milamber33:
I just put a Settings icon in the bottom dock, but aside from that, a swipe is a longer action than just a press, and the bottom of the screen is generally easier to press on than the top of the screen, so I can understand people wanting it in the traditional place.

Does the developer reply to anything in here or anywhere else? I've made a few complaints/suggestions throughout this thread like widgets not updating after a while, text on homescreens being black/white and all garbled until you force close Nova, etc and have never seen one response. I don't think I've seen one response to anyone, have we?

Can someone tell me if in Nova Launcher Prime I can organize the app draw the way I want, like i do in touchwiz using customisable grid?

In app draw, move 2 or more apps at same time to other page?

[Nova Launcher] Nucleotide:
Has anyone noticed that with the current beta there seems to be an issue where by if you open an app, and then return home by press back or the home button, the stock launcher appears instead of Nova? It doesn't happen all the time though.

In manage apps, I've gone into Nova and cleared defaults, pressed home and set Nova as the default again. I'm not sure if it will fix it yet - should know within the next couple of hours. I'm using Prime as well if that helps.

Minor issue so not sure if the dev wants to look into it or not. Never had it happen before so I'm assuming it's some kind glitch/bug/etc. :good:

It would seem that clearing the defaults and resetting them didn't work. :(
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
No status bar mod feature...The status bar is handled by the SystemUI.apk and the framework, which launchers don't have the required permissions to touch (at least as far as I know). There are tons of Theme Chooser themes or individual ZipThemer themes, that can change the status bar though. :)

I've found the issue.

When you open an email, SMS or otherwise from the notification drop-down, and then press back to exit out, it takes you to the stock launcher. You have to press the Home button to return to Nova. Nothing major - only a minor glitch. :good:

Dock divider disappears at random

I prefer to use Nova launcher however there is one big problem that I am experiencing while using it on my Samsung Galaxy S3 Verizon version. The dock divider disappears at random. It happens far too frequently to just ignore. It happens on the play store version and on the beta as well. I would like to buy Prime, however will not do so until this is fixed. It will only return after I enter and exit certain apps or if I restart Nova Launcher. I have switched to Apex until someone can find an answer to this.

[Nova Launcher] elreydenj:
Divider disappearing

I thought I had it, but it has returned. I know what the issue is as I can recreate it every time. I do not know of a fix yet. If infinite scroll is off and you scroll to the homescreen on the far left or right you get a blue animation basically telling you that you can scroll no more. I personally like this animation. If I do that, and then click on my messaging app in my dock and then exit the app, the divider disappears on my galaxy s3. It does not happen every time, but I would say that it happens more often than not. If you change the dock height to large, it does not happen. It only happens when the dock height is on it's default which is medium. Once again, this is using nova launcher prime and it occurs on the official and on the beta.

Non sticky drawer 'apps' view settings bug still present

There is still the bug, when you change orientation in Drawer or when launcher redraws

the option what to show(my Apps, new Apps e. g.) you have chosen in app tab is set back to default. I hope this annoying bug is

will be addressed soon.... Bug is in both versions (free and paid). I use free version though I bought full version because default is in free 'All Apps' but in paid 'my Apps', so I always don't see all of my Apps, what is in my opinion the main reason to use drawer.... By the way, is this here the only place to report bugs? No bugtracker system or similar, or direct contact?

hi there..

im not sure if its a bug, but i install xxdlh8 rom for s3, its a full rom, no update or ota version.. and i had the same problem with the previous version, xxdlh7. i install nova launcher and when im move between the homescreens, the widgets which are placed on the homescreen change the layout during the move process, so the standard google calendar widget change from transparent black to dark, and after back. did somebody other register that, or im alone? is there a option to prevent this??

many thanks for your replay..

Bookmark widget sizing problem

Hoping someone can help me out...

Im on a Galaxy S3 and am having problems with the sizing of the Chrome Bookmarks widget.

On Touchwiz, when you change the size of the bookmarks widget, the bookmarks within the widget also changed sized to make everything look proportionally correct e.g.:

(first number = width, second number = height)

A 4x3 widget gives 9 bookmarks: 3 bookmarks wide, 3 down

A 3x3 widget gives 6 bookmarks: 2 bookmarks wide, 3 down

A 2x3 widget gives 3 bookmarks: 1 bookmarks wide, 3 down

A 4x2 widget gives 6 bookmarks: 3 bookmarks wide, 2 down

A 4x1 widget gives 3 bookmarks: 3 bookmarks wide, 1 down

i.e. bookmarks were always 1 unit high, but the width varied based on the size of the widget to make everything look nice and proportional.

Nova is trying to do this, but it doesn't quite work for the widgets that are 4 units wide. i.e.:

A 4x3 widget gives 6 bookmarks: 2 bookmarks wide, 3 down INSTEAD OF 3 bookmarks wide and 3 down.

Bottom line, the width of each bookmark for the 4x"X" widgets are too big.

Is there any way to fix this?

REALLY appreciate anyones comments on this.

Thanks!

UPDATE: Confirmed that this is NOT an issue with Apex Launcher

[Nova Launcher] Rimher:
From my personal experience, Nova > Stock.

I have no idea about Apex, haven't tried in a very long time. But Nova's buttery smooth, I've got no reason to try it
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Nova is definitely better than stock, no question. Apex is updated more frequently, but they don't always seem go be "quality" updates. It now has theme support, but the ones I've seen so far don't look that great. Apex seems to be going the route of GO Launcher (bloated, yet extremely customizable), while Nova seems to be staying true to the LauncherPro model; having a relatively light footprint, useful customization options (but nothing ridiculous), speed, stability, and functionality. I don't begrudge anyone for using Apex, but it's just not my cup of tea. I prefer a lighter, faster launcher, which I can tweak on my own. I think the "proof is in the pudding" so to speak, as far as which launcher is truly the "best", since almost all ROM developers choose either stock or Nova over Apex, in their builds. Devs love Nova for a reason, and that's good enough for me. :D
