I'm really happy with the launcher. Especially because he not only change the icons in the home screen, but also directly in the Drawer menu. :good:

But now when I want to manually change an icon and click on Edit, then he will simply not accept it? If I go through all the steps and select an icon of my SD card, then it just does not change it. Why?

In general, with all the icons I want to change it manually it does not work. The icons are in PNG format.

Thanks in Advance

I seem to have the same problem as you. I updated UCCW but noticed the problem and downgraded to the previous version. The UCCW problem vanished, but with some widgets I now have a margin anyway. For exampel "Eye in the sky". Some other widgets, like "Simple calander" does not have a margin. Did you solve the problem some how? Seems very strange..

Thanks in advance

Nice!

Uninstall, install, set Nova Launcher margin (with + height) to small, reboot, set margin to none... that worked for me... everything's fine again...

did you unchecked auto-update in play store? sorry but it's just an option, maybe it has installed the current version again?

good luck...

Has the folder in drawers debacle been fixed? On my 2 different phones (Galaxy S2, CM 10 / LG Optimus G stock JB 4.1.2) whenever I created folders in drawer, icons vanished in folders. Copying a folder to home screen, empty folder. But in creation/edit apps would be listed. Gave up on last update from market.

Nope....
[Nova Launcher] DonHuan:
Hi. There's a bug in latest version. When I delete an app from Application manager, the icon off this app stays in a folder in app drawer. And it stays there even after restart.
[Nova Launcher] SYRE123:
Nope, still the "correct" version of UCCW installed. But I will try a re-install of Nova and let you know!

EDIT: It still doesn't work. Same problem, it seems to work on some widget and not working on others. I tried to install the latest beta to, but still nothing. It doesn't really affect my layout as it is right now, but I am going to hate this some time in the future, haha. Would really like to see a fix for it!

I want the above process be performed by a script, so that I get to the open office in one click!! Is it possible, can anyone help please, if not then where can I find my answer? :mad:

I am having trouble adding Internet shortcuts to my home screen. On an att Samsung GS4. I don't use the Chrome browser just the stock "Internet" browser. When i am on a website and click the menu > add shortcut to home it doesn't add a shortcut anywhere on the Nova Prime home screen. However when I go back and open up the Touchwiz launcher it setup the shortcut there.

Also for some other dumb reason if I try to click on the screen and add a shortcut to a bookmark it doesn't find my bookmarks. It only finds the bookmarks samsung loaded. It is like it's only looking at the Chrome bookmarks maybe.

Please help someone. I emailed the developer a few days ago but no response yet. A $4 app ought to get some response. I guess the developer is covered up with new issues from all these gs4s.
[Nova Launcher] faith1453:
Would it be possible to add an option to decrease the dock height? There already is medium and large. A "small" option would be great!

The gap between the dock and my lowest row is too big and looks annoying with my setup :P
[Nova Launcher] uf21:
How come there a people with the SGS3 that have the "transparent notification bar" option but I dont have it?
[Nova Launcher] pedmond:
That's a ROM feature, not a launcher feature.
[Nova Launcher] uf21:
As I said there a people who have the same phone as me (SGS3) & the rom as me (omega) but they have the "transparent notification bar" option in nova settings but I dont.
[Nova Launcher] enigma1981:
Do they have the same VERSION of omega as you? Are you on the latest 4.2.2 build? Cos I have it in Sotmax v20 (4.2.2) but I didn't have it in v19 (4.1.2)

[Nova Launcher] pedmond:
Interesting, I never had that option in Nova. I have a transparent notification bar though, but I set that option in the AOKP settings.
[Nova Launcher] andrewilley:
Interesting, my notification bar is nicely transparent, but I can't find a setting in either Nova or my Omega-7 4.2.2 ROM settings to change it! (Galaxy S3)

[Nova Launcher] oddspec:

Thats part of the software like some moto phones have
[Nova Launcher] enigma1981:
Yep, that's ROM related. Nova just makes use of the feature if it's available :)

[Nova Launcher] ncblackout:
I'm having a weird issue, and I'm fairly certain it's an issue with Nova (default launcher and Apex do not have it)...

I recently downloaded UCCW and several skins for it. When I press on my home screen (not on the widget, just on the screen in general) there is a blue dot that appears in the upper left corner of UCCW. Also, I have the Catch Notes widget on another screen, and when I touch anywhere on the home screen, it highlights blue like it's being "touched" or something. It's like these widgets are being "highlighted" whenever I touch the home screen. Again, I tried the same setup on Apex and the default and it doesn't happen on either one of those.

This is driving me nuts to the point I almost switched to Apex but Nova is so much faster I'll just deal with it if I have to... anyone have any idea what this could be?

FYI I'm on a Galaxy Nexus with the latest Paranoid Android build. As far as I can tell only Catch notes and UCCW are affected by this.
[Nova Launcher] xmfpdlemalnz@hotmail.com:
HTC ONE stock Sense launcher has a transparent notification bar, just like GS4 has with stock touchwiz launcher.

Nova launcher now supports GS4 with a transparent notification since its rom supports it, so I don't see any reason why the same thing can't be done for HTC one.
[Nova Launcher] Ci-Fi:
I reported the same issue of the highlighted widget a couple of pages back, but got no response. I thought it was only me. It is pretty annoying. Luckily, I restored a previous version of Nova through TiBu.

Hey guys - VasuDev states that FCs and missing widgets are a Nova Launcher problem - Play Store Link. Specifically:

What's in this version:

Version 2.9.0

1. Weather forecast for 5 days enabled for Open weather map.

Note: Force closes and missing widget sizes like 1x1 widgets or x1 widgets is occuring on Nova launcher only. Its launcher's issue.

What I don't understand is that older versions worked just fine - what on earth could be causing this to happen on Nova? Is there anything we can do (logs, data, etc.) to help figure out this behavior?

Please don't stop offering the beta on your website. I love it on my OUYA. I know there are quite a few other people running it, and I don't want to have to use TiBu every time it's updated.

Maybe one day you could try mapping some buttons. The best would be if you could just map one that switched the highlighted app between the home screen and the dock.

UCCW + Nova = broken

Guys [MENTION=1372738]teslacoil[/MENTION], please have a look at this issue with UCCW.

Both apps are very popular among android users and I don't know if the problem is related to UCCW (because it worked with version < 2.9) or related to Nova Launcher (as stated by VasuDev) but it's really bad.

Can we help with a logcat or something ? I'm willing to make a nandroid backup, update UCCW and generate all the logs you want as long as it can help to fix that nasty bug :D

App drawer tab customization

I managed to unintentionally delete the "Apps" tab that acts as the main tab and contains all the apps. This is the one with the sub menu for selecting "all, my apps, new, downloaded, or configure apps". Now when I add a new app, it does not show up automatically in the app drawer anywhere, i have to manually add the app to a tab in order for it to show up. Is there any way to restore the main Apps tab or to set a new one as the main tab? I'd prefer to not have to re-install Nova and start all over with my set up and layout, but I'm starting to think that may be the only option. I'm on the Nexus 7 v4.2.1 running nova prime 2.1 if that's relevant.

Bookmarks Problem

Apparently, a recent release has broken the ability to send bookmarks to the homepage from browsers. I have tested with Opera, Opera Mini and Dolphin Mini. I'm using an HTC Rezound, but I have seen some Samsung users are experiencing this as well.

Bookmarks go to Sense or another launcher, but they won't to Nova. The Opera browsers won't even detect the shortcut intent from Nova. If Sense is available they will send the bookmark to Sense (even though Nova is running and selected as default). I've attempted to create bookmarks, been unable to find them in Nova, and then if I launch Sense I can see the bookmarks on the home screens there. If Sense is frozen, the option to save bookmark to homepage is not even displayed in the Opera browsers.

I see some other commenters have mentioned this, beginning as early as May. Some have mentioned going back to older Nova versions to solve it.

Sorry if asked and answered, but I did look... I lost the option to assign apps to hidden from within the drawer after an update a few weeks ago. I figured out I could just not assign it to any group and it would be hidden and would be checked in the Hide Apps section of the drawer settings. However, after a reboot or two all apps assigned as hidden show back up in the default group. Doing this on my Nexus 7, Nexus 10 and Galaxy S4. Bug? In the hopper to fix? Thanks and great Launcher!
