Oh, then I have a special version of Titanium Backup on my Nexus S.

Of course, Titanium CAN restore BOTH system apps AND their data. But your phone must be capable of remounting /system R/W while running. Maybe that's a function only for the paid version of Titanium (which I have)?

And I'm using Titanium Backup only to push Nova into /system/app (so I don't have to deal with permissions myself) which is working fine on my Nexus S. For the configuration, I'm using Nova's built in backup function to restore its configuration.
[Nova Launcher] thanksgiving60:
no doubt that infinite scroll is busted
[Nova Launcher] deidein:
I think more detail than that is needed.

Infinite scroll is working perfectly for my screens, but malfunctions slightly on my dock. I have 2 dock rows; when I flip to the next one (the normal direction to do so) they're fine, but if I go 'infinite' to loop them, the icons dissappear until I move the dock slightly left or right (seems to refresh it). It is kind of cool to make the icons disappear like that, honestly - but I thought I'd report it.

Nova Launcher Voice seems geared on features rather than bug reports, so I posted here.
[Nova Launcher] Jeshter2000:
Infinite scroll is bugged . Homescreen showes up empty !! Then when you scroll further it showes it self... I have 2 homescreens .
[Nova Launcher] BankZZ:
Is there a way to set the 'default' home screen? Right now it seems to pick the middle.
[Nova Launcher] floepie:
Interesting, thanks. I do know that at one time in the past, Titanium would only restore system data and not the actual app, even if /system was R/W. Before I read this post I attempted to restore the app from the backup, but it wasn't placed into the system partition, so I thought it confirmed what was once true about Titanium but it seems no longer to be true with a Titanium update over the past several months.

In any case, my system partition must not be running as R/W while Titanium is running then. I do know that in Root Explorer I must manually switch from R/O to R/W each time the app runs. I know we're getting sidetracked here, but is there a way to force Titanium to enable system to become R/W while it is running? It doesn't seem to do that by default even with root access.
[Nova Launcher] KBanause:
For me, Titanium is remounting /system R/W automatically.
[Nova Launcher] stu5797:
thanks for the update! I have 4 home screens and infinite scroll is running so smoothly! So far, so great !! Hopefully a 1 page app drawer with waterfall like scrolling is in the works, lol
[Nova Launcher] TheBiles:
<3 infinite scroll! Can we get this on the Market (preferably a paid version)?
[Nova Launcher] Nitemare_real:
yes, if "infinite scroll" is checked and you have 2 desktop, it has a strange behaviour... (with 3 o more desktops, I seems ok)
[Nova Launcher] thomasmatt25:
I tried flashing the zip version and after that, I was able to receive the updates.
[Nova Launcher] Zelig:
+1

Problem with infinite scroll only seems to apply to when you have 2 homescreens (or for dock scrolling, 2 docks).

I have temporarily created a 3rd homescreen and infinite scrolling is working correctly in that setup, but ultimately I want to be able to go back to only 2 homescreens with infinite scrolling working.

FYI

The Devs are NOT active on XDA.......Kevin Barry has not used XDA for over two years and has stated he never will come here again.

I do some volunteer moderation on G+ that's why I keep telling users posting here requesting things or reporting bugs that this forum is only a user discussion thread and not an official support/request forum that's seen by any Tesla coil employee/nova team member.

It's always best to use G+ if you want the Devs to see a bug report, ask about a feature or give some feedback, as they are active daily on G+

Did you notice the playstore icon has come back?

:svetius:
[Nova Launcher] elevatorguy:
Any progress on this front? Glad to know it wasn't just me going crazy
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
There's no progress because despite the development team asking everyone reporting this issue, not one person has submitted a logcat to nova support so they can investigate.

I personally thought the development team where no longer supporting Cyanogenmod and were advising users to switch to lineage-but I was wrong.

If anyone using CM13 can send a logcat to nova support of this issue they would be very grateful and be able to see what is going on.

At the moment they assume it's a ROM/theme or xposed issue but can't definitely say until studying a few logcats.......
[Nova Launcher] tamaraxxx:
I am on lineage based Rom from bauner for my note 1, android 6.01 and have xposed installed. But updating to latest version of nova makes my phone go into bootloop.

Have the same issue with latest greenify version.

All other apps just install fine without troubleshooting.

Sending logcat after reboot is almost impossible.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Use adb to grab a log.
[Nova Launcher] tamaraxxx:
Use adb command in twrp recovery mode or do I have to connect the phone with the pc?

And witch log should I grab, because I'm not familiar with it.

---------- Post added at 04:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 PM ----------

Btw, not directed at anybody in particular, but if you are beta testing an app, any app, you need to know how to logcat and provide any other info the devs need or ask for. If you can't, you should only be using the stable version.

hope to help
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
You need to email that logcat to customer support in nova settings.

NO ONE from the development team will see it posted here as the development team and no one from nova uses XDA.

This is ONLY A USER DISCUSSION THREAD

This is not an official thread to report bugs or make requests.

Please email that logcat to Cliff Wade at nova support as soon as possible as the development team are quite keen to work out what is happening.
[Nova Launcher] Frances91:
Thanks for the detailed response, I'll go on to the official G+ page for feedback meant for the devs, as suggested by you.

I did notice the launcher is back with the playstore icon, tho sesame takes searching to new level with multi search options, but nevertheless quite reaffirming seeing devs heed to user feedback!
[Nova Launcher] tamaraxxx:
I was able 2 upgrade the nova version to the latest one, but when the phone did reboot, i got this message over and over again.

Only solution was to restore nandroid backup. I was unable to grab a log. This message was popping up all the time
[Nova Launcher] Jep56:
I've been holding my breath. I flashed SUPERXE-OREO-OPR6.019 ROM, and have had none of the issues...yet...been about 4 days.. We'll see. Doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but runs great
[Nova Launcher] undeadking:
I am on Nova 5.5 beta 2 and it's been like 6 days without any problems yet. I'm tending to think that it was a bad app interaction that was causing the issues-wasn't exactly able to narrow down which one was the troublemaker but will figure it out and post my findings.
[Nova Launcher] madd0g:
Yeah the builds since last month crash on CM13, I moved away to another launcher.
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
Did you send a logcat of these crashes to customer support?

The devs made a plea on G+ for CM13 users to send logcats so they could look at the issue and see what was going on, then they could fix it.

FYI

They had 348 reports of these crashes yet not one logcat had been submitted to support as of last weekend, but users were still quick enough to complain about it and demand a fix!
[Nova Launcher] Lither:
I'm using Nova Launcher on my S8 but when I swipe up to open the app drawer, I can see the home screen dock icons while swiping and it goes away when the app drawer is fully open? Is there an option to disable it?
[Nova Launcher] kyzn:
Is there a way to increase the icon size further? Compared to other launchers, Nova seems to be a bit conservative on that front. Using a 512 dpi with a 5x9 grid makes the 150% look tiny.
[Nova Launcher] KapilFaujdar:
Feature Request: Blur Effect in various elements of Launcher UI.
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
Goto nova settings.

Scroll right down to the bottom

Press the big "FAQS" button.

Read the section about blurring.

The nova development team will not be introducing blurring features to nova as it places an unacceptable drain on resources.

Its Best to check these things before making a post that's already been turned down and is already on your device for you to read.

Its also best to remember this thread is a user discussion thread, no one from the nova team uses this thread or XDA.

You need to use the official nova launcher beta Google plus community to make feature requests.

The development team and nova mods are active daily.

But a word of warning, if you make a request that's already been made or is listed in the faqs they won't be very impressed and expect you to search the community and check these things before posting.

---------- Post added at 09:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------

It depends on how you actually operate the swipe to open app draw operation.

There's been much discussion about this in other nova forums, where users are dragging their app draws up much slower and then complaining about graphical glitches.

Its known Samsung and one plus devices don't handle a slower app draw drag (as opposed to a quick swipe) and users insist this is a bug.

The only bug here is the user.

The app draw is not designed to be slowly dragged as opposed to swiping.

The slower drag causes a frame rate drop.

Doesn't matter if there is a frame rate drop, the argument here is the app draw is only designed to open with a swipe, and if a user is deliberately dragging their app draw up very slowly, they really have no right to complain as they are deliberately causing the issues they described.

That's not my opinion, but the opinions of the many users who discussed this several months ago in other forums.
[Nova Launcher] demonshouter:
I love the adaptive icon, but i have one problem..my google calendar icon isnt adapting..it keeps on its original icon..i choose the round adaptive icon, but the google calendar stays square (original google calendar icon). I try uninstalling and installing the app, restarting nova and phone...not working. Anyway to fix this? Thanks in advance
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
If you read the official changelog of the latest betas (on Google plus) this is a known issue and may take a while to fix, there's a large explanation about this again on the nova launcher beta Google plus community.
[Nova Launcher] drkarthikv:
Best launcher.

Been using Nova Launcher for over a year now. The best launcher around.

Also purchased the app and very happy.

Buy the app, you won't regret it.

[Nova Launcher] Oswald Boelcke:
In accordance to the FAQs, Labs section in the settings can be enabled by holding the Vol. down button while being in Nova settings.

The Vol. down button of my device is broken and not functional. Is there an alternative way to enable Labs?
[Nova Launcher] jcmm11:
I'm totally guessing here.

If you look at the contents of /data/data/com.teslacoilsw.launcher/shared_prefs/com.teslacoilsw.launcher_preferences.xml one of the entries in mine is

<boolean name="experimental_mode" value="true" />

If it's false in yours you can try setting it to true and see what happens. (This all assumes you're rooted).

If that doesn't work then I suggest you ask on Google+ where you can get a hold of people actually working on Nova. This thread is users only. The answer is almost certainly in that file, it's just a matter of finding the correct entry.
[Nova Launcher] Oswald Boelcke:
Thanks very much for the great advice. That was it. The entry wasn't yet available in preferences.xml i.e. I created the given entry and rebooted. Labs is now available in settings!:good:
[Nova Launcher] juan_rugge:
can an auto screen lock timeout be implemented? let me explain. i want nova to lock the phone after a timeout (lets say 20 sec), that gets triggered upon last touch registration, while in the launcher.

its this even possible? am i asking something stupid.. sorry, i dont have much idea how apps work, or the limit of what can they do :P
[Nova Launcher] zelendel:
It wouldn't do much good really. People never spend long in the launcher. It is just a place to put info. I don't think I have ever spent more then a few seconds in the launcher itself.
[Nova Launcher] juan_rugge:
well, hear me out.. i have the screen timeout of android set to 2 min (1 min it's too short to me). when i woke up in the morning, and i stop or snooze the alarm, it doesn't lock the phone afterwards, it shows the launcher.. FOR 2 MIN.. (it would, because i lock it). same case with a timer. Most of the time, like 80%, that i finish what im doing, i touch home, and then i lock it. this feature would be great for me, and optional of course, disable by default, it wouldn't harm anyone. Dont know, maybe I am being nitpicky.. but if it saves me time and effort,and even SoT, i want it. (excuse gramma, no natine eng)
[Nova Launcher] iPusak Gaoq™:
Something is wrong with the rom you use...i always set up my alarm clock in the morning and when i stop or snooze the alarm, my phone is still on lock screen and will goes black a few seconds later....
[Nova Launcher] Oswald Boelcke:
@juan_rugge: For me it's the same as for @iPusak Gaoq™. If an alarm rings, and I stop or snooze it, the alarm even doesn't unlock the screen. It remains locked until I manually unlock the screen.
[Nova Launcher] BraianV:
Can u add app shortcuts like pixel launcher style?

Thanks!
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
This is a USER discussion thread, not an official forum to make requests.

No one from the nova development team uses XDA or reads these posts.

The official place to make requests is the nova launcher beta Google plus community.

I must warn you as a regular user of the nova G+ community, the development team have asked that no one keeps making new posts requesting any pixel/pixel 2 features, as you will see them in a future nova update soon enough.
[Nova Launcher] juan_rugge:
i have a moto x play, stock, never root or anything.. an i use google clock
[Nova Launcher] iPusak Gaoq™:
As far as i know it alarm clock will never unlock your phone automatically when its rings...screen will remains lock after you have stop or snooze the alarm...not sure what kind of lock screen are you using but i have tested using pin code, password, pattern or fingerprint sensor (different device) and none of them auto unlock the screen when the alarm is triggered....
[Nova Launcher] Mayday_XL:
With the newest beta my statusbar is not transparent when i switch to the app drawer.

Mayday@OnePlus 5
[Nova Launcher] Wrapp:
Hi,

I'm desperately looking for a double tap to sleep ON STATUSBAR for my non-rooted Pixel. I enabled the double tap to sleep feature of Nova, but this only works if I double tap an empty area of my home screen. In some older posts I read that Nova has the DT2S on status bar feature, but I cannot find it. Is this feature gone/not possible on O anymore or did I misconfigure something?
[Nova Launcher] pkelly517:
Nope.

That's a kernel/ROM thing.
[Nova Launcher] linkazoid:
This is what I am looking to disable too. Looks slightly weird
[Nova Launcher] yasitoo:
after latest beta (5.5-beta5) lost left pane google now (companion app is still installed and recognized), also hte pop menu on the phone app is a bit slugish (using sesame shortcuts)
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
You need to restart nova and your device to test if google now returns.

If that fails, uninstall the companion, restart your device, reinstall and test.

No other complaints of this happening to anyone by the way....

You also need to disable sesame shortcuts in nova, and download the new sesame beta, as this is a bug with sesame shortcuts, confirmed less than a few hours ago in the nova Google plus community.
[Nova Launcher] jufofu:
Still no app sorting. The same disappointment every release.
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
Strange you are dissatisfied and disappointed.

Goto to nova settings.

Scroll right to the bottom.

Press "FAQs"

Rather than rant here about it, read the part in the FAQs where the development team tell you they WILL NOT be introducing app draw sorting.

In the time you took to make a new post ranting about it, the information was already there on your device and would take 30 seconds to read.

*The FAQs have been in nova settings for a year*

I wander why the nova development team go to great lengths and hard work to provide you with such information, other launchers don't answer those questions.

Once again, someone can't be bothered to read the information in front of them and would rather rant here!

WTF!
[Nova Launcher] Sgt. Kofeyeh:
Facing this too with the latest update....
[Nova Launcher] kos25k:
I would like to ask a feature.I would like the ability to resize every icon on home screen individually.thanks.
[Nova Launcher] jufofu:
Have you read the FAQ? If you had, you'd see that it states the following:

Everything else is just your imagination.

It is normal to be dissatisfied and disappointed by the lack of one of the most basic features in a launcher (and the most requested one, by the way).
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
And no other launcher has that ability.

I just linked your comments to the moderators of the nova community on G+, as I do some part time work for that community.

Same answer, I'm afraid, but again, they were dissatisfied and disappointed people are asking for features that are quite clearly stated to not be getting added, that's the point of the FAQs.

I understand it's not nice to get an answer you don't like or don't want, but if the development team choose not to add a feature, then please respect that, it is after all their app and their choice what to add or not to add, it's not up to us as users.

If you don't believe me, go ahead and make this request in the nova g+ community.

The Devs are active daily there and will tell you pretty much what I've told you, because I use that community daily and see these comments and requests all the time.

FYI

App draw sorting is not the most requested feature.

It's not even in the top 10 things requested.

The most requested thing is blurring, which again is listed in the FAQs as not getting implemented.
[Nova Launcher] jufofu:
Have you heard about Action Launcher? Apex Launcher? Go Launcher? LINE? Almost any other popular launcher?

Are you sure that "currently you can't do this within Nova Launcher" equals "quite clearly stated to not be getting added"?

I'm not sure whether you don't know it or are trying to misinform me, but until the developers removed the public feature request tracker a year or so ago this request (dating back to 2012) was more popular than all other top 5 requests combined. It also had the STARTED status which meant that the developers finally recognized the importance of the feature and started working on it back in 2015.

I've got the power of Wayback Machine and the FAQ to back my words, now please back yours.

The FAQ only states that it is currently unavailable. And in the request tracker it was marked as STARTED in February 2015.

But while you clearly contradict what the developers have stated, I'm afraid you are right and the developers aren't going to implement this feature because they could have easily done it years ago.
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
My proof is in the G+ nova community, it is after all the " official " nova forum and this thread is just a user discussion thread.

This question was asked only a few days ago on G+.

The poster got crucified by the nova mods for not checking the FAQs before posting.

In this case, i only quoted what the answer to that request was, and i personally didn't like your post "another update no app sorting" or do I like to see unnecessary criticisms of nova or the nova devs.

I'm sorry if you assumed I was just being argumentative, I wasn't.

The answer to the post was "The are no plans to introduce app draw sporting to nova anytime soon.

We've discussed it at length and decided its not the direction we want to take nova anytime soon.

Not many other launchers have this and those that do have it don't do it well.

We have taken time to mention this in the nova FAQs.

Please check the FAQs before posting."

That answer actually came from novas customer service manager, Cliff Wade!

Cliff has explained numerous times in the G+ community that the answer to questions like this are put in the FAQs to avoid the constant questions in the community or elsewhere.

As for your argument about other launchers, I'll take your word for it.

I don't use or purchase others, although I am currently using the modded pixel2 launcher on one device to compare it against nova.

FYI

I quoted to you what the dev team said in their reply to that request on G+.

Its not my personal opinion or my personal answer to you, its an OFFICIAL NOVA LAUNCHER reply.

Personally, I would like to see that feature, but if nova doesn't want to add it and they want to follow Google more, which is the direction we all assume its taking, that's their choice and we have to respect that.

FYI 2

Maybe i will not accuse you of ranting in future if you make your criticisms directly to the people who need to know about your displeasure and disappointment (the nova developers)

Its much better to vent your displeasure in the official nova community rather than posting in a place we all know the nova devs don't and won't use.....

I'm going to leave it there before any further comments/replies of mine are taken out of context, or further accusations about my honesty are posted.

Regards.

[Nova Launcher] pemati:
Yes, that's what i have set up but think is more convenient to have NO app draver.
[Nova Launcher] jcmm11:
Just turn off the swipe up/down app drawer functionality in settings (App & Widget Drawers|Swipe to Open) and remove the drawer icon from the dock. Functionally you'll have no app drawer.

Yes that is true but i have no way to get to other aps other than manually copy shortcuts first.

Hi all,

This sounds stupid but can someone show me the way to set custom timing for night mode? I tried searching in Google and in this thread but I can't find anything.

I have set custom timing for my older phone previously but I can't recall and find the settings now.

I did went to night mode and pressed custom timing but I can't select the timing.
