[MENTION=2587550]kevin@TeslaCoil[/MENTION] -> Bug: At the List Mode App Drawer, the scrolling bar do not change color when we choose another color in aparence, it keeps blue. It would be nice to have a alphabet bar at the left or right side (maybe let us choose?) so we can reach a letter quickly instead of scroll scroll scroll scroll...

Instalation Problems

Please need help solving a problem i had he old version on nova launcher, and before i install the new one remove the previews one after done this i have tried to install this version, but it is giving me problems it says that i have no space enough, to remove some applications, but i have 1.6gb still. Were normally nova leaves the ancient files because i think that this is the problem.

Please help me out,

Thanks in advance.
[Nova Launcher] maniac2403:
That's a problem when you have two launchers installed.

Option 1: Freeze/uninstall default launcher which you have.

Option 2: Download Home apps which help you to select default launcher.

Option 3: Go to NoVa Launcher settings>Select Defualt Launcher and select Nova Launcher.
[Nova Launcher] Rutster:
Hi maniac2403, thanks for the reply. I have done option 3 and set Nova Launcher as the default but it still happens. I've cleared the cache and set it again so will see if that sorts it out. Not sure how to freeze the default launcher but will have a look and see if I can find a home app that can help. Thanks.
[Nova Launcher] maniac2403:
To freeze apps, use Titanium Backup or Rom Toolbox.

Here is a home helper app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDIxMiwiY29tLnRlc2xhY29pbHN3LmhvbWVzbWFjayJd
[Nova Launcher] Rutster:
Brilliant. Will try the home app first then the freeze options if it doesn't work . Thanks again.
[Nova Launcher] Rickav:
Fully agree with you there; the Tasker application seemed very thorough and almost all the reviews mentioned how it is one of the best apps to automate most tasks.

However, as you mentioned, it is best to use such a powerful app only after I've read up on it a bit to actually understand how it works (cue with great power comes great responsibility) and how to utilise its abundant functions to suit me best. Unfortunately, with my college exams looming ahead, I have neither the time nor the energy to even do some basic research (I actually haven't slept more than 30 minutes in the last 50 hours or so and I vaguely remember having a Subway on one glorious sunny day. I live in Scotland. We don't even get the sun. Hallucinations aren't terribly helpful at the best of times. I feel I'm about to crash rather hard rather soon. But anyway, all this is another story...)

Due to time (and mental health) constraints, the secondary locking app is a much better option for me currently. That is, until I've aced all of my exams in the coming month and then really sink my weary fingers into Tasker, amongst other wild apps...
[Nova Launcher] solarus2011:
Fantastic update. Custom icons in the drawer is a great way to tide is over with icons from zip packs while devs update the APKs. Great work.

I'm still having an issue with beWeather widgets. My time has a "1" in front of the actual time. A restart of Nova fixes it but only until the clock reaches a time with two digits in the hour. When the hour becomes a single digit, the "1" infront stays. This has been an issue since the 2.0 betas.
[Nova Launcher] k3v0:
I really like how when dragging folders from the app drawer to the homescreen, they stay synchronized.
[Nova Launcher] TadeoNYC:
A great Free alternative to Tasker is Llama (location aware mobile application) it is designed to launch different profiles and events at specific times and places. These posts inspired me to make a simple turn screen off event and a llama shortcut for it. Then I linked it to a gesture. Llama is much easier to use and provides most of the functionality a basic user would want from Tasker.

Adding other widgets or shortcuts are fine, though.

Reinstalling clean master is also the same.

Am having stretched widgets on a nexus 10. Tried earlier suggestion to disable image cache but unfortunately didn't fix it.

Any ideas? Is an amazing launcher otherwise.
[Nova Launcher] sttovo:
Have you tried resizing the widget? I use Nova on my N10 and have never had that problem. I have widgets for weather, gmail, and chrome, all look fine.

There's a setting for Nova that allows widget resizing, try toggling that.

Are you on a custom ROM? If you are, maybe flash another ROM and see if that changes anything.

[Nova Launcher] DirkStorck:
Hi. I like this launcher a lot.

Would it be possible to add widgets inside a folder as well?

I am using AppQuarantine to deaktivate apps and for each app you have to/can create a widget. It would be nice to have those in one folder.

Thanks

Don't think this can happen cuz of restrictions in android but why not add a dock page or two and slap them all out of site in the other dock pages and its only a swipe away from any homescreen ?
[Nova Launcher] davidgs:
I just updated my Google Talk to Hangouts but the icon did not updated in the apps drawer, and I know this is a nova issue because in a different launcher (trebuchet) the new icon shows correctly.

Attached you will see a screenshot with Nova showing the "TALK" icon and the other launcher (trebuchet) with the correct "Hangouts" icon.
[Nova Launcher] oddspec:
Did u try resetting the default theme in nova ? Or even restarting nova
[Nova Launcher] davidgs:
I just restarted it, but still the TALK icon is there. How do I reset the default theme? I couldn't find that option.

Thanks!
[Nova Launcher] TadeoNYC:
Long press the icon then select edit, tap the icon and manually select the correct icon.
[Nova Launcher] davidgs:
No, that didn't work either, the same TALK icon appeared as default instead of the Hangouts icon. Also, even if this did worked it wouldn't make sense, the icon should be updated automatically instead of having to do all this (but still didn't work).
[Nova Launcher] oddspec:
Last try then it must be nova

Uninstall install hangouts
[Nova Launcher] hopscotchjunkie:
Happened to me on my n7 (but not on my HOX) - it let me change the icon manually though. On the change icon screen scroll down past the default and the stock icons to the list of app icons, and the correct one should be in there. Don't know why it doesn't use it by default though.
[Nova Launcher] maniac2403:
1. Nova does not come with an icon pack. Those are stock android icons. Here are the stock icons: http://bharathp666.deviantart.com/art/Android-Application-Icons-Set-150473477

2. This is not a Launcher feature. You need a ROM capable of doing that. Try Paranoid Android.

3. No, ain't possible.
[Nova Launcher] DirkStorck:
Thanks for the idea but they are to many and if you look some pages back I have posted a screenshot where I have put a widget in the dock bar...it didn't lock very well.

[Nova Launcher] davidgs:
You can change the icon if you drag the app to the main screen, and only there it will show the correct icon (if you change it), but you can't change it in the app drawer, and there it is still showing the old icon.

I was able to get the new icon in the app drawer by clearing the Nova app data, but of course that erased all my settings, widgets and apps arrangements, and after restoring my Nova Backup, the old "Talk" icon reappeared in the app drawer.

I guess this is a bug, so now I'm only reporting it.

Thanks for your help!
[Nova Launcher] andrewilley:
While that is not possible directly, why not just turn the dock off completely and use the freed space to make an extra row of icons at the bottom of the screen which you can assign however you like... basically the same result.

Can you elaborate it a bit more? How do you save a web page? If it's a bookmark that you save, there might be a bookmark widget (I forgot the name of it now) on Touchwiz launcher that shows the bookmarks. Try adding the Bookmark widget on one of Nova home screens.

a question about the widget menue

Hi. Just installed Nova Launcher Prime on my S4. Could some one plz explain the differences of the two widget menus.

Novas built in menu, accessed by long pressing the screen, and the one in the app drawer? The widget thats in the app drawer don't seem to match the one in the long pressing menu?

Thanks
[Nova Launcher] aje99999:
Sorry I should of been more clear. I use Maxathon browser and when on a web page when you select to add it to favourites you get the option to Save to Desktop as a Shortcut and it places an icon on your homepage it's the same as on the stock browser when your on a web page and you press menu button it gives the option to Add Shortcut to Homepage.

When I do this with either Maxton or Stock Browser it says shortcut created but then when you go to the homepage it's not there on any page however if you then stop using Nova by going into Settings - Application Manager-Nova-Clear Defaults and then press Home and select Touchwiz as the launcher the Shortcuts you created under Nova are on the Touchwiz homepage?

It's just really odd..

Any help you can offer or suggestions are much appreciated.

Adey
[Nova Launcher] Leonsbane:
Thanks for the pointer with the security i somehow didnt think of trying a different launcher :)

My guess is that all launchers prior to 4.1 used the system build-in widget picker because, if not, they would either need root-permission or to be installed as a system-app. Android up to 4.1 only allowed apks with the same signing as the rom to use other pickers (except when using the afore mentioned workarounds).

But since Android 4.1 and higher when an apk (e.g. a launcher) uses a custom picker the system now instead asks the user if he will grant this permission, yet hinting at the possible security risk.

tl;dr: Launchers with custom widget pickers like Nova generate a dialog box asking for permission when adding a widget on a Android Device with 4.1 or higher

Can someone confirm this assumption?
[Nova Launcher] andrewilley:
That puzzles me too. I'd much prefer the "Add to Home screen" widget selector which you see when you long-press on a spare bit of desktop to show the nice thumbnailed widget list in the same way that the app drawer displays them.

The same applies to the app selection list to be honest, the long-winded scroll-down (and down, and down) alphabetised list is painful compared to the slick icon layout in the app drawer.

Andre
[Nova Launcher] DaAspegren:

[Nova Launcher] danukka:
I have a problem with nova launcher prime.

There seems to be a noticeable delay when going back to the home screen by pressing the home button on my nexus 4. They delay is around half a second, but in comparison to the stock launcher it seems to be a lot more.

It's not a huge problem, but this is really annoying and I am considering just using the default launcher just because of this delay.

Thanks
[Nova Launcher] niteh@wk:
I installed Maxthon to try it out. It looks like Maxthon adds desktop shortcuts to stock launcher. Maybe contact Maxthon or report it on Maxthon's forum.

The widget tab in the drawer contains both widgets and shortcuts. Maybe "Adapt Sound" is a shortcut, try long press shortcut menu.

Okay. I'm guessing that it is a bug related to the shadow option in the home screen options menu. Try turning that on and off and see if there is a change.
[Nova Launcher] snock514:
It appears the issue is with this setting, I try turning the shadow on and off and changing from a live wallpaper and a normal picture and I never can just simply turn the shadow on and off. Sometimes it works as intended, other times it turns off the text with the shadow but the logo and line still appear. Weird..

I'll update this post tomorrow with more experimentation with that setting as it's late at night for me. I think you may be on to something though.

EDIT: I restarted my phone and turned the shadow off and the top part doesn't show up anymore, thanks man!

Hi all!

Is there a way to turn off the fading transition effect on the desktop?

[Nova Launcher] andrewilley:
Do you mean Nova Settings > Desktop > Scroll Effect ? That's only control of transitions between Home Screen desktops as far as I know.

Andre
[Nova Launcher] ofer6483:
Yes. If im on a tablet ui it turns on this fading during transition animation. I'm trying to cancel it with no success.
[Nova Launcher] andrewilley:
Erm, well the 'Tablet' transition does have a sort of slide-then-fade effect, but there are lots of other transitions you can choose from if you don't like that one (more on the paid version than the free one). I use Cube, which has no fade element.

[Nova Launcher] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
only thing missing for me is elastic scrolling....

The other thing is for folders, if we have an icon with notification badges (i.e. Gmail), it should show relative to its position in the folder preview. So for example, in the stack preview, you only see the first 3 icons. If it's in the first 3, we should see a scaled notification badge (maybe too hard?) but if it's not in the first 3, a notification badge should not even be visible. It's weird seeing a "25" next to my folder of Google stuff, yet it makes no sense because Gmail is buried in the back
