*edit* Figured it out. It seems screen filter was some how interfering with my ability to install it while it was turned on.

Now if only there was an option to get rid of the line above the dock. Awesome update otherwise. With the backup option I take it would could use it in combination with Titanium or something and have readily available backups of the app after formating/changing roms?
[Nova Launcher] :
beta 4 is running great. thank you.

Does anyone else have problems updating? I'm on beta 3 and it says I'm on the latest version when I check for updates. I tried installing the beta apk in the first post but now it says I'm on beta 2?

Hi Guys,

I've tried this launcher today, it looks very beautiful, but probably I didn't find how to make appdrawer folders

Is it possible?

I know there is a premium version, where you can hide apps, but I don't want to hide them. I want folders in appdrawer

Is that possible?

If not, then why not?

Please advise

Thx
[Nova Launcher] Staggers:
That feature has been highly requested and the dev is working on it. Expect it in a future update. For reference, you can check the status of feature requests at the Nova Launcher UserVoice forum.

problem on transformer prime

Transformer prime rooted with the latest virtuous rom. When running nova I have no access to the left and right sides of the screen. Pic attached. The 4 corner icons are the limit as to how far I can move them. Top and bottom are great. Left and right I lose like 1.5 inches on each side.

Tried regular and latest beta with same results. ADW EX works fine but I prefer nova so if anyone has any ideas i'd like to hear them. Thanks.
[Nova Launcher] guilhermedsx:
Now with the Hiding Apps it's just perfect!

Could I request an option to lock the desktop? Like, no moving / adding icons?

I actually found myself moving widgets quite often, accidentaly ):

[Nova Launcher] barryflanagan:
I am using Nova on a Transformer Prime as well, and I have no such issue. See attached.

I have my Desktop Grid set to 7 rows 10 columns. Even if I set my Width Margin to large it does not contract as much as yours. In fact the width margin appears to make no difference at all - I would actually like a bit more margin as when trying to put an app into one of the folders near the edge, it keeps flipping to the next screen!
[Nova Launcher] cali310:
It worked fine before I put the virtuous rom on it last night. I have mine set to 7 x 10 too.

[Nova Launcher] endursa:
on tablet please let me get rid of the menu button top right there should only be the app drawer :-)

rest is fine with 1.0.2b app drawer is way better than in 1.0.1 i personally like 7x9 grid on homescreen the best without a dock, i don't need one a tab

and most important please let me configure the long press on home action!! i really woud like to disable this completely or at least only use the stock behavior, to set the wallpaper!
[Nova Launcher] barryflanagan:
Ah, well I am still on .14 - rooted and unlocked but have not taken the plunge yet. AOKP for the TFP might tempt me.

[Nova Launcher] LordDeath:
I disagree. I like the menu button up there. But an optional way to disable it would be ok.

Another feature request:

With the infinite scrolling mode the background wallpaper has this ugly instant jumping when you move from the rightmost homescreen to the leftmost homescreen by swiping one screen to the right.

Is there a way to make the wallpaper-scrolling without this awkward jumping effect?

For me Go Launcher used to accomplish the transition much smoother than any other launcher I've used. You should vote for this issue here.
[Nova Launcher] browngeek:
Been using Nova for a few days on both the sg2 and tf101.

With the transformer the screen is great in landscape with 7 by 10, however you seem to lose a lot real estate when you put the tablet in portrait.

However if you use 8 or more rows the app names get cut off and also some Widgets get chopped off.
[Nova Launcher] mfractal:
Any wallpapers i try to set with Nova is getting very stretched (even though it's original size matches the screen exactly).

[Nova Launcher] whitewallman:
Possible bug report.

Photo gallery widget

To reproduce, add stock photo gallery widget, choose album, and a Picasa Web album.

Once widget is in place, (should look like a card stack) tap one of the pics and see an error stating "couldn't find item"

Widget works fine with stock launcher. Also seems to work on with nova launcher IF you choose a local album.

Quick tip to install as Root is to use 7-Zip to copy and paste the nova launcher apk file into the /system/app folder of any ROM that you are going to install. This works like a charm on CyanogenMod ROMS. And is easy to do when flashing Nightlies, Weeklies etc...

Problems with ICS 4.0.2 on GSM Nexus after installing Nova Launcher- random shut down

[post removed] Seems like a pretty common problem with the Gnex.
[Nova Launcher] frenccw:
Doesn't sound like a launcher problem to be honest. Launcher is just an overlay for your homescreens. It wouldn't cause shut downs when you're on other apps like web browsing. It sounds like a problem with your ROM or kernel.

Any one facing issues when phone wakes up from a deep sleep, widgets do not refresh and have to restart the launcher?
[Nova Launcher] xda6969:
I found an issue with the home screen button. To re-produce, hide the divider line between the home screen and the dock. Put some items in a side dock on another page.

Move off your home screen to a side screen and move your dock to a side dock. Now press the home screen button. The screen moves back to home and the dock moves back to home. I believe this is how it should work.

Now, just move the dock to a side dock. Press the home screen button and the dock will NOT move back to the home dock. However, the glowing line that rides on the hidden divider line will move back to home.

Thanks for this launcher!

[Nova Launcher] solarus2011:
I've noticed this too. Every morning the widgets have frozen at some point during the night. I have the V6 Supercharger script running which has worked wonders on this and Apex (when I last used it - Nova Prime is now my favorite :D), but it doesn't seem to stop the deep sleep freezing of widgets happening now.

A workaround I'm going to try is to set a Tasker action to kill Nova Launcher and then reopen it at 5 in the morning.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
A task killer may very well be causing that issue... I would think that installing an app to set minfree levels, like Autokiller, would free up enough RAM, do decrease/eliminate your redraw issue. :)

D3 AOKP
[Nova Launcher] Nexus666:
Same here... kind of

I'm having kind of the same issue. About 50% of the times when i wake my phone up after a long sleep, Nova

seems

to be hanging (nothing appears on the screen) and it

looks

like it restarts on its own, although I think it really doesn't. The reason i'm saying this is because when I do manually restart Nova, it stops hanging for a while. Using ARHD 6.3.0, with Widget Locker.

Also, when it does restart, it has a couple of blank vertical lines in certain areas of the screen (see pic). Gets corrected after the first sideways swipe.

Besides that... ABSOLUTELY LOVE it! Great job.
[Nova Launcher] beaubin:
Still hoping for a vertical fling gesture in app drawer instead of horizontal paged :rolleyes:
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
^There's a page specifically dedicated to feature requests...I'm not sure what is preventing people from using it to vote on things they'd like to see... :confused:

And I know it's just my personal preference, but I hate the vertical scrolling idea... this launcher was conceived as a modification of the stock 4.0 launcher, and its features (ie. to enhance the functionality and experience of stock), and those features do not include vertical scrolling in the app drawer. I know I'm ranting a bit, but if people like the vertical scrolling option, there's always GB launchers, like ADW, Go, and LP...none of the new 4.0 launchers support this feature at the moment, and we may never see it. I'm all for options and choice, but I'm a bit mystified that people continue to not use the voting thread (found in the OP) to make feature requests like Kevin asked us to...it makes his job much easier, and we'll likely see faster results if we all stick to using it. :)

[Nova Launcher] kimboinatl:
Just wanted to chime in and say that this launcher rocks. I paid for Prime immediately - mainly because I just wanted to show my appreciation - but damn, the extra features are nice. I particularly like the swipe gestures. This rocks.

I still have the occasional re-draw issue and scrambling of icons/widgets, and I'm 100% sure after playing around with it of when it occurs - it happens either when I have my CPU speed set too low (like around 700 or less) and/or when the processor is busy doing other things (e.g. if I try to do stuff with my home screen while my phone is starting up). Hopefully that information helps.
[Nova Launcher] solarus2011:
I don't have a task killer installed. I'm not having any redraw issues at all, just the freezing widgets. Given that the issue happens only at night I'm thinking that its related to Nova's interaction with the kernel I'm using, or vice versa (FrancoKernel). Would the phone being in deep idle effect the "running" status of Nova? The cool thing is because my clock widget stops I know exactly when the freezing occurs :) It happens about two hours after the phone was last used.

Daily operation (I use the phone at least once every hour or so) is perfect - no redraws or freezing of widgets.
[Nova Launcher] obaidr:
Please add the feature the group Widgets in the widgets menu. Having like 100 Widgets makes it really hard to swipe throw them for adding a new widget.
[Nova Launcher] elias0441:
Go to systems settings /developers options/ and uncheck the "don't keep activities" option.

What this does is it closes any app when you leave it.....so when you leave nova launcher to a different app, the system will shut down nova launcher
[Nova Launcher] maniac2403:
This would essentially kill all multi tasking abilities. I use music, downloads in the background. If all activities are killed once I leave them, Android would turn into a pre-dated iOS3.
[Nova Launcher] elias0441:
IDK about that but once I unchecked that option, nova launcher has been functioning great since then
[Nova Launcher] mhwarfield:
Honestly, no offense but, this post did not make sense to me. Nobody is suggesting a vertical scroll replacing the horizontal scroll, only that there be an option. You don't like it, that's all well and good, don't use it. Others, including myself, would like to see a vertical scroll and both the vertical and horizontal scrolls be available in continuous inertial scrolling. It's almost like you're arguing "I don't like it and I won't use it, therefore you shouldn't have the choice and shouldn't be asking".

Even more confusing was your reasoning that this was not part of stock and Nova is enhancements to stock and therefore this should not be added. What? That makes no sense. The option to have vertical and inertial continuous scrolling are just that. Optional enhancements over stock. Stock didn't have the ability to change the number of screens or all these transitions and scrolling of the dock. By your reasoning, these shouldn't be in Nova either because they're not in stock. I don't buy it.

I don't mind the mention of feature requests in here. It does promote some discussion about why people like some things and others don't. It's no substitute for going to the vote page and nominating your favorite feature or voting for it. But nothing wrong with discussing it either. Features are options. AND, quite frankly, I've learned quite a few tricks when someone comes on asking for such and such option and someone else replys "oh, here's how you do that." Not always, but there's been a bunch of times. Doesn't help to vote for something that's already there, it's just not where you think it should be.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
^^Fair enough, and I wasn't trying to be argumentative... sorry if it comes across that way. I'm all for choice too, and the option to have the vertical fling may really appeal to some...that's fine. I guess I just kinda posted that out of frustration at seeing that request made four to five times a day (or people getting bummed out that it wasn't in the recent update), and subsequently seeing very few votes for it in the User Voice thread.

My whole point about it not being in stock, was that launchers tend to stick to the drawer animation that came as part of the stock launcher. Of the GB launchers, only Go (to my knowledge) has a variety of drawer transitions, while the two best (LP and ADW) maintain the two stock Froyo or Gingerbread scrolling effects. The main reason for this (I think) is that added animation types require more resources, and could really weigh a launcher down.

In the end, it's completely Kevin's call, but unless the feature gets more than the handful of votes it currently has, he may not see it as being important enough to include. From what I've seen, folders in the drawer, along with category sorting in the drawer, are taking priority over the vertical fling or infinite scroll, but at the same time, I see more in-thread calls for vertical scrolling than anything else...devs don't have the time to read through all the posts, just to count feature requests, which is why myself and others mention the voting page frequently.

Honestly though, the angry tone of my post was unnecessary, and for that I apologise...it wasn't directed specifically at you. Also, my personal preference to the horizontal drawer vs vertical, is irrelevant, since it IS just my opinion; truthfully though, if the launcher had released with a vertical drawer rather than the stock one, people would be clamouring for the horizontal option, lol. Devs always have an uphill battle with things like that (just look at the number of GNex owners who want Sense ROMs ported)...I'll be happy with whatever feature Kevin adds, just as long as they don't slow the launcher (or my phone) down. :)

[Nova Launcher] frenccw:
Just adding my 2 cents, a vertical scroll is much easier to use with one hand than horizontal. A lot of people complained about swipe left/right gestures on apple's mighty mouse - this is similar to that. Its going against the natural rotation of your thumb joint.
[Nova Launcher] demarcmj:
Not to mention it takes FOREVER to swipe left like 7 or 8 times to get from the beginning of the alphabet to the end. A fling is much quicker.
[Nova Launcher] kimboinatl:
+1 on the inertial/continuous scrolling. Actually, I will often long-press on the screen to add a widget instead of going through the app drawer for this very reason - because I fling through quickly instead of swiping page after page after page. Is there an option for that on the suggestion site?
[Nova Launcher] frenccw:
I guess its more tolerable now that we have to ability to hide apps (if you have Prime at least). Less pages woohoo! I wonder why Google decided to go with the "pages" system other than to give an animation while flipping them.
[Nova Launcher] bduvel:
Would there be a possibility to add option to disable animations?

Instant to appdrawer, and no effect when going out off app launcher.

Since all my apps bring me back lagless, but those 2 don't.

And im not running a cheap phone.
[Nova Launcher] solarus2011:
Assuming this in reference to my widgets freezing, this is already unchecked, leaving apps to used after you leave them.

Whilst I don't disagree with this potentially being an "option", I also feel strongly about any adverse effects on resources/speed.

Not yet. In any case, that's a problem with any launcher besides the stock MIUI launcher. It used to happen to me too while using MIUI on my Desire back in the day. A workaround is to use something like MultiPicture Live Wallpaper to get the transparent status bar.

Confirm Redraw.

I just wanted to confirm that I too am getting redraw about 17.36% of the time upon going home.

A somewhat new development occurs when I go home, I get an empty screen (displays: wallpaper, nav keys, status bar) and the page indicator above the nav bar has the left three spaces of it (out of 5 pages) are lit/activated (so 3/5 of the page indication bar is on/lit/blue/activated). Then it will jerk to the right, to the home screen, and it will quickly redraw.

I have used the V6 Supercharger script to "bulletproof" nova launcher and that helps somewhat with the redraw. Prior to that redraw occurred ~46.37% of the time.
