Not sure,i know he had a kid awhile ago.

All of the Tesla stuff needs a bit of a re-fresh,various bugs/problems showing up here & there.

For me,Unread qould work randomly,and Nova Prime would take like 3-5 mins to load my theme/homescreen settings if i rebooted the phone.Not having a dig at the dev by any means here.If i knew what i was doing,i'd have a go myself at digging thru the code,but im not,so guess its just a.wait till the dev gets back into it...

I really have had not one problem with Nova it's the only launcher I've used in a long time. I have used others but find myself always going back to Nova. As for the problem I was experiencing with Tesla Unread Count all is fixed, I just cleared the data cache and all is good, never ever really had problems with it before [emoji6]

nice, fast launcher. only thing I can think of to suggest would be an option for a slide down animation like in solo launcher.

Themes option in Nova?

How to apply themes in Nova Louncher , I know how to apply Icon but how to apply full themes like in Apex, I have nova paid version and it look so bad there is no option to apply themes in nova???
[Nova Launcher] eighty-four:
I guess aggressive mode doesn't work at all? It keeps unloading from memory, as it lags a lot after a while, when returning to desktop or app drawer until i scroll them to end end once, so they get loaded to memory. Android 4.3 with 2GB RAM here.

Nova settings > look and feel > icon theme

This will set all icons to a new theme. To use a themes wallpaper, you select that from the wallpaper screen. I don't believe you need a theme to be set in order to use its wallpaper.

Nova Launcher Paid Version Should Have all together in Nova Setting Themes + Wallpapers + Icon + Font , this is what Launcher should have it not manually go and change wallpapers and font, most themes come with Wallpapers,Font,Icon not only icon. Hope Nova Maker give this option in next update in paid version at least.

Thanks for this launcher, it has made all the difference to the tab pro 8.4.

I have been trying to find a way to remove the outlines round the cubes. They show as the default blue on this tablet, but I have the same launcher on my GS4 and that doesnt show the lines.

Any ideas please?
[Nova Launcher] mrgnex:
I have a bug that I had before.. I cant edit my dock. When I try to put an icon in the dock it shoots back to where it was (homescreen or the drawer).. Any solutions or ideas?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
It sounds like you have the "lock desktop" feature on, that disables homescreen editing. Check Nova Settings to confirm/deny. [emoji4]
[Nova Launcher] sordna:
Maybe your dock is full, or maybe the icon you are trying to move is actually a widget?
[Nova Launcher] tanveerkhan9:
Next Update for Nova ?

When the new Update coming for nova..... please Add support Wallpapers and Font.
[Nova Launcher] anonymous-bot:
I have been using Nova Launcher for a few months now and I really like it. However there is one little bug I have: Nova won't let me save backups to my external SD. I am using the stock ROM on a LG Optimus L9 and the external sd is at /storage/external_SD. It would be nice if Nova let us set a custom folder path for backups.
[Nova Launcher] pitastrudl:
Do not ask for ETA! It's in the XDA rules. And you can change wallpaper regardless of what launcher you have, and the Font is system dependant not launcher dependant.
[Nova Launcher] Listy2021:
Kevin (Nova Dev) hasn't been on here since mid November so I doubt he cares much about people asking for ETA's as he never sees them :good:
[Nova Launcher] iamnotkurtcobain:
This.

[Nova Launcher] pitastrudl:
Your point being? XDA is still here, and the rules apply pretty much to everyone.
[Nova Launcher] zelendel:
You can't say for sure the last time he was in. Many devs and mods use the invisible feature so no one knows when they are on or not.

As stated. If you want an ETA give yourself one on when your gonna have your program out.

Type in "save to external sd card" or something like that, and see what you come up with. We (myself and a few other people) had a conversation about it a couple of weeks ago, and they're are some suggestions made... I just don't feel like digging through the last 10 pages to find the post link, lol. The info is there though. ☺

---------- Post added at 08:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 PM ----------

And guys, come on, let's cut Kevin some slack. Developing the top launcher for two years straight, and dealing with the ever-growing demands from users, can get to anyone. Couple that with the arrival of a new baby, and your priorities will certainly change. We all love Nova, but making comments about the update frequency is inappropriate when you don't put everything into context.

Instead, why not leave Kevin pays about how excited you are for future updates, and wish him the best with the new addition to his family? If I were in his position right now, I'd be in no rush to get back to developing Nova, because the vibe in this thread is negative at least 75-80% of the time... I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't exactly get pumped up to work on a project I don't feel good about.
[Nova Launcher] tanveerkhan9:
Yes

Yes same in HTC One need same option to let us save backup in Sdcard

---------- Post added at 02:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:11 AM ----------

For what we are paying just to change Icon , Nova Launcher Must give us Option Change Icon, Wallpapers , Font & Skin... this is what Normally Launcher must have it .

Check in Apex Launcher , there is one extra option in Setting, Themes , and in which you have Skin, Icon , Font & wallpapers. I Like Nova more then any other Launcher and if I see other give some nice option I would like nova have it to because I buy nova paid version and I am entitle to ask developer / request him to give us in next updates ..... is that Wrong to request ?
[Nova Launcher] Kevin cracolici:
Is this the option you mean?
[Nova Launcher] zelendel:
OK first off. Your not entitled to anything here. You paid for the app as is with no promise of an update. Nova has a feature request site. Feel free to use it.

Second off what a launcher must have is a matter of opinion. All those theme options are pointless to me.

I found a previous post of yours but you didn't mention any specific applications. I did find a program that kinda does the job: Redirect File Organizer. It allows you to create folder redirects however the files are moved at timed intervals. I suppose this is because FAT32 doesn't support links though. Anyways thanks and maybe this will help others.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Ah, my bad... I could have sworn that I linked to an app2sd app in one of those posts. My reason for doing that was to force Nova (the app) onto an sd card, and therefore change the location of the backups. As someone else posted above though, there *should* be an external sd option available, when you're trying to do a backup.
[Nova Launcher] jenish.cyclewala:

Just wanted to add to Zelendel's post:

As past posts will show (over and over) the developer does not participate here. This is a community forum for help and assistance. It is driven by kind (knowledgeable) users. PLEASE don't make them regret that.

That said, here is a helpful link to what zelendel referred to about a suggestion/request site:

Guys, does anyone know, why there is no new update? It's been 3 months since the last update! :confused:
[Nova Launcher] sordna:
Because it works fine.

I have had other apps without updates for over a year, and they still happened. No problem..
[Nova Launcher] 0xetrov1:
The reason I asked is because, there are some features, that a lot of people asked, but still has not in this launcher implemented.
[Nova Launcher] zelendel:
It's simple and any parent will tell you the same. A new born takes 99% of your time. Mix that with real life job and side projects like this take a back seat. I am sure once things settle down he will get back to it. Or he may not. The launcher works wonderfully as is.

Nova launcher has become a (kind of) standard. Great job !!!

I recently upgraded on KitKat Touchwiz ROM and have following issues :

1) Suddenly all app icons disappear from App Drawer

2) Widgets too disappear from Homescreen

3) After uninstalling an app from drawer it again becomes blank

4) Sometimes widget is not visible after adding

Restarting launcher solves it but restarting every few minutes can't be the solution.

Any help/solution/advice is much appreciated.

Thank you !

i am not able to install it on art :( HEEELP
[Nova Launcher] zelendel:
Well you already know the issue. You will come across this until ART becomes the standard. Right now it is not and alot of apps will not change until it is out of beta.
[Nova Launcher] adamberns:
Don't use xposed. It's not compatible with art..
[Nova Launcher] pitastrudl:
Was using nova on kitkat for 1 month, no problems. Do a factory reset. No wonder you are having problems.

Your source being? Don't be a nuisance to the thread.

worked fine on ART here. Try switching off art, install nova and switch art back on.

Afaik, if you turn on ART while using xposed, Xposed gets disabled, or is it the other way around, im not sure. But this isn't the thread to discuss this.
[Nova Launcher] silentvisitor:
I always do clean install. Anyways, problem was an Xposed module called Immerse Me by [MENTION=2011359]MohammadAG[/MENTION]

Removed it and Nova is healthy again ;)
[Nova Launcher] JoeSyr:
Bug report: When I try to sideload an apk from the stock "Downloads" app, I get a prompt from Nova to load a desktop backup, rather than the apk install screen.

I cleared defaults for Nova under settings->apps->nova launcher->clear defaults, but the behavior persists. I think it's worth noting that the item "You've chosen to launch this app by default for some actions." item reappears by selecting nova under settings->home.

Since the "Home" section to set a default launcher was introduced in 4.4 and the Downloads app was revamped too, I imagine that this bug was introduced with KitKat. I'm running a recent CM11 nightly build on a Galaxy Nexus.

Steps to reproduce:

1)Download an .apk file from a browser using the stock downloader. For example, BetterBatteryStats xda edition.

2)Open Downloads App, select the downloaded apk.

Expected behavior: Package installer should launch to install the apk.

Actual behavior: Popup from Nova to restore desktop backup (selecting "OK" causes Nova to reload, but nothing is affected).

Workaround: Open the apk from a third-party file manager.

Anyone with a similar setup able to reproduce? It could be an issue in CM11, so perhaps someone could test on stock 4.4.2. Also, it appears that the G+ beta community would be the way to submit bugs for nova these days, but I'm not interested in using G+. If anyone can reproduce this and is part of that, please report it there.

On a related note, it seems strange that Nova refers to "desktop layout" when the whole of android seems to be pretty settled on using "homescreen" as the vernacular. That's just semantics, though.
[Nova Launcher] pitastrudl:
Why would you even bother to open downloads app? I probably havent opened that app since i got my phone...I always click the notification and it works. Tried reproducing problem with multiple browsers, and no problem. Running AOSP based rom 4.4.2
[Nova Launcher] JoeSyr:
Thanks for checking.

Actually I first noticed it by just tapping the notification, which has the same effect since it's a function of the same app. As for use of the downloads app, I usually clear out the list so it stays short, and any recent files I've downloaded are right there if I need to re-access them. I suppose that if you never use the app the list would just be long and useless.

I've poked around with it a bit more and it's not as consistent as I first thought. For some reason, all the apks in the BetterBatteryStats thread seem to do this in AOSP browser. I tried downloading from chrome and it worked fine. I tried the Nova.apk from this thread's OP in AOSP browser and it worked fine. So... I guess that it's somewhat both browser and file specific? Strange though, the files aren't corrupt, and I would think that as long as it ends in .apk it'd get treated just the same. The ones that don't work have a generic page icon on them, the ones that do get an android mascot icon. Still strange that the ones that don't work get passed on to open with Nova, though.

I saw this behavior once weeks (months?) ago and didn't think much of it then, when I saw it again now I thought I'd mention it. Not really a huge deal though.
[Nova Launcher] bozzykid:
I would hope the developer doesn't try to implement all the features people here want. That is part of what makes Nova Launcher so user friendly. If he added the feature requests in this thread alone it, would be the most convoluted launcher ever created.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Completely agree with this. Going back to the alpha days (the first few pages of the thread), Kevin has always wanted to keep Nova clean, lightweight, and uncomplicated. That means not adding features just for the sake of adding them.

Too many people here seem to want Nova to be Go, SPB Shell, or something else... My suggestion - those people should stop complaining, and just use that fancy launcher, and forget about Nova. And these "constant update" fanatics are just pathetic... I've clearly outlined Google's developer policy for updates and support, and zelendel has mentioned them within the last couple of pages. Updates are never a guaranteed thing, and people need to get over it. Apps update whenever devs feel like updating them, IF they want to update them.
[Nova Launcher] Hobbygamer27:
Hello dear developers of Nova Launcher.

I apreciate your work on one of the famoust launchers ever.

But there is still one Feature missing: Free app sort in app drawer like on TW, Xperia, LG - Launchers.

Apex has tried it but failed in my opinion bcoz free has to mean free. Apex filled up unfilled launcher pages even if I need the spaces for my sorting.

not sure if anyone has this problem, but I recently updated the my S4 I9505 to Android 4.4.2 Kitkat. I have already fix the microsd card issue :D and by right I shouldn't have any problems. But...my issue is that I am unable to add any widget to Nova Launcher. I can add the other stuff like shortcuts with no problems. Also the phone has reverted back to original setting and I have to re-launch nova whenever I enter an app. So not sure what is wrong.

I tried stock launcher and have no issue with adding widgets to it. >.<

anyone have any ideas?

Becuase samsung widgets are only compatible with the TW launcher. I use Dash clock for clock and it has many other extensions.

Had no issues with nova in the last 3 months of using it. Try clearing app data for nova launcher. And how does it fail? can you elaborate?
[Nova Launcher] tennvol:
Exact same issue with my I337 (AT&T) S4. Cannot add widgets at all to Nova Launcher. Cleared app data, no change. Incidentally, clearing app data also wiped out my Launcher backup, so now I have to start from scratch.

When I try to add a widget for Tiny Flashlight, I drag it to where I want it, I'm presented the option to choose the icon for the flashlight, then the icon disappears and a message pops up that "App isn't installed."

When trying to add a widget from HD widgets, Nova Launcher crashes.

I tried to include Play store links to the 2 apps, but I am not allowed to post URLs.

Uninstalling and re-installing seems to resolve the problem. Of course, I have to build all of my pages from scratch again.

i have the same issue like tennvol.

but i managed to fix it by adding widgets from the app drawer, instead of long press on the screen, wait for the pop up of adding shortcuts/apps/widgets etc.

i also reboot my device and restarted nova launcher and that seem to resolve the issue. i didn't clear app data though.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
This might be a stupid question, but do any of you who are having widget issues, have the "lock desktop" option checked? If so, uncheck it, and you should be able to add widgets.

If that's not the issue then I'll ask this - do any of you get force closes when trying to add widgets? If you do, please pull a logcat and post it here so others can review it, and try to figure out what the problem is. [emoji106]
[Nova Launcher] midnight_plue:
nope i never tick the "lock desktop" option from way back, so it shouldn't be the cause.

i got a force close on Nova and the app widget itself while trying to add widget when I long press on the screen to add widget on the screen, but after i tried adding widget via app drawer, restarted Nova launcher and reboot my device, i have not encounter any issues. I tried to re-create the problem so that I can do a log but unable to do so >.< the problem hasn't pop up ever since.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Strange... Could it have simply been a low memory issue at the time?

On Behalf of all Galaxy Gear Users,

[MENTION=2587550]kevin@TeslaCoil[/MENTION] / OP - Kindly add the "Remove Widget Padding option" which basically removes the gap between the last corner of the widget and the display edge. When removed, the widget will fill the complete screen removing the gap around it. A much require feature for Galaxy Gear to run with Watchstyler. Apex offers the same feature, but Of course, Nova would be the obvious choice of launcher due to its simplicity and response.

Thanks in advance!

Noticed a small visual issue:

I noticed that after opening the app drawer a couple of times, there is a weird ghosting effect that begins to accumulate on the opening animation. I was actually able to partically capture the effect with a screen shot:

Edit: Attached the image below

Not sure if it's something that was always there, but now that I've noticed it, I can't stop noticing it. Restarting Nova Launcher alleviates the problem, but only temporarily. I opened up the stock launcher to make sure it wasn't a broader issue with my phone, and those animations didn't seem to have the same problem.

In that same screenshot, I just noticed that the glow effect on the app drawer icon is also noticeably exaggerated. Perhaps the animation frames are stacking... or something?

Just found another potential bug:

When I select "Settings" from my recent app list and hit Back, I get taken to the stock launcher, even when Nova was set to be my default. This didn't seem happen with any other other app in my "recent" list. I was able replicate the behavior several times and "fixed" the problem by force stopping the default launcher.
