About lock screens and such, I'm not to keen on mobile ram but I combine Nova with go locker. Doing so go launcher needs to be installed also, but I set nova to be default. For me it works great. I can achieve same lock screen as launcher screen. No need to run go launcher ever and I experience no lag.
[Nova Launcher] BobbaLouie:
Ever hear of Widgetlocker?
[Nova Launcher] Frezzno:
Of course. I just wanted to propose another option.
[Nova Launcher] antawnm26:
is that widgetlocker or widget locker lockscreen?
[Nova Launcher] Frezzno:
It's a replacement lock screen with a lot of options. Made by TeslaCoil.
[Nova Launcher] BobbaLouie:
Yes.

What is the proper channel for bug reports? uservoice is great for feature requests, but it isn't really suitable for reporting bugs. I don't see anything in the OP about how to report bugs.
[Nova Launcher] mnhs1010:
Hi,

There is no option to resizing the icons???

Some go launcher and other themes have very small icons ...

Is this option implanted in future???

[Nova Launcher] uncle bob:
switch default to jelly bean UI? I was.. but still touchwiz icon, it's not change to default jelly bean icon..
[Nova Launcher] ew:
What is the difference between the default and the jelly bean icon theme. I can't see anything different
[Nova Launcher] uncle bob:
not default and jelly bean icon.. but between touchwiz icon and jelly bean icon.. so, now my default icon nova launcher is using touchwiz icon, NOT using jelly bean icon (default icon).. Why my icon has changed to touchwiz icon? Because I was IMPORT setting my touchwiz home setting, finally my nova launcher default icon (jelly bean icon) was overwritten by TouchWiz icon..

Then, my question is:

"how to restore my touchwiz icon to jelly bean icon on my nova launcher?"

I was uninstalling nova launcher, installing again, it's doesn't solve the problem, any suggest? I hope, OP can give me suggest to fix this, thanks.. :(
[Nova Launcher] MattBooth:
I'm trying to install Nova Launcher on first boot on my ROM.

I've got it set to be flashed to system/app/ while the rom is being installed. However, when the rom first boots it will not work. I have to flash TouchWiz first, enable unknown sources and manually install, then it works. Why is this? Other ROM's I've seen have no problem installing straight to system/app and booting without problems

XXDLIB based ROM
[Nova Launcher] oddspec:
I'm not sure this is a nova issue but with some Rome I find u have to full boot then go back to recovery to flash an app I think this is Cuz til first boot the folders in system haven't been set
[Nova Launcher] MattBooth:
Hmm, like I say, other ROMs have it installed on first boot. I've checked the updater-scripts and they just flash it to system/app like I'm doing and it works.

It's not just NOVA too, it's Holo, Go, etc.

[Nova Launcher] polobunny:
Although I agree with you guys that we don't need this, the settings are already there. It's pretty much implemented and working, so it's just a matter of putting controls in the Nova settings. A few little minutes of work in other words. Not exactly something that will take time away from other features.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
It seems to me that quite a few users aren't really "behind" the Nova project. With requests for added transitions, icon sizing, drawer animations, etc, it would appear that what some people are looking for is a JB rendition of the very overrated GO Launcher. This is never going to happen, point blank, end of story.

Now requests for infinite scrolling, lag reduction, and things like that, are completely logical and reasonable (I'm not trying to disparage anyone who's made those kinds of requests), but GO Launcher this is not. If you want GO's features, then use that launcher...nobody's stopping you.
[Nova Launcher] carlos67:
Errr, not quite.

Add this script to your init.d folder and set correct permissions rwx/r-x/r-x and root/shell ownership.

renice -10 `pidof com.teslacoilsw.launcher`;

Works for me. It basically increases the process priority of Nova launcher.
[Nova Launcher] unosison:
I absolutely love Nova Launcher. The newest beta is fast and amazing.

Can you please add a "save to memory" option though?

I don't know if that helps in lessening the stuttering of the scrolling animation, but i believe the app with be absolutely killer if it tweaks this a little bit.

Thanks a lot for your work on this launcher. By far my favourite launcher.

One feature I miss back from Launcher Pro when I was running GB last year is the ability to set swipe-up actions on the dock to app intents. This meant you could do a few cool things like swipe up on the messaging icon to start a new text message or swipe up on the browser to open a new tab.

[Nova Launcher] tacchan23:
Sorry if it's been asked already... is it possible to permanently show the scroll indicator so that I know exactly which page I am visualizing? I notice the indicator disappear shortly after scrolling to a new page, is there any option to keep it always visible?

Also, is there any option about the scrolling gesture behavior? Usually I like to drag my finger on the screen to go to a new page (instead of a quick "tap+slide+let go" which works perfectly btw) and I noticed that quite often I fail to go to the next page as I drag my finger too little and let go too soon... would be possible to make the "distance" I need to drag my finger on the screen a bit shorter?

Thanks for the awesome app :)

[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I'm not 100% sure how this works, but there is an auto rotate feature in Nova settings. However, that function was disabled on the N7 up until the 4.1.2 update the other day. If you haven't received the update yet, try the Nova settings option, otherwise, you may have to wait for the OS update to enable that feature, unless your ROM has it enabled. :o

TBH, the behavior on my Samsung Galaxy W is different... a swipe of about 1.5 cm is enough to change the page (that's about 1/5 the screen's width)

[Nova Launcher] tacchan23:
As I also wrote before, on my Galaxy S3 I have the same "problem" and 1.5 cm doesn't seem to be enough to change the page.

I'd be really glad if it could be reduced to 1.5 cm or something like that close to 1/3 of the screen!

Btw, any comments on the page indicator? is it possible to keep it always visible?

[Nova Launcher] Gibbz1:
Im still waiting for infinite/wrap around scroll in the app draw. Is this planned?
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Nova has always had this (Settings > Look and feel > Screen Orientation). The Android 4.1.2 update just made the stock launcher also have this for 7" devices.

(If you're using a modified DPI then things could be completely different)

It's setup so the page changes on either a fling or a significant move. A fling needs to have a high enough velocity and only a tiny bit a length, basically swiping in place quickly. Significant move is roughly 2/5ths of the page width (generally the same as the screen width). Perhaps a future update will decrease this. Perhaps a future update will change the page indicator.

If you bought from the Play Store you can reinstall from there, if you bough by paypal you reuse the same code.

Not for 1.3.2. Perhaps in the future.

1.3.2 is just relatively boring fixes and by the end of it some probably boring to users but exciting to me lab functions I'll post more about in the future. Stability and performance come before introducing new features.
[Nova Launcher] hshah:
Any chance of being able to get the option of increasing the home screen icon sizes?

[Nova Launcher] tacchan23:
Yes, the fling is working flawlessly as I wrote a couple of pages before (glad I learned a new word today, I didn't know to call that kind of gesture "fling" ^^)

If you could reduce the "significant move" to 1/3th of the page width in a future update it would be very nice!

Same for the page indicator :)

I will look forward new updated for sure!

Thanks
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Guys seriously, knock it off... Just because there's been an update, doesn't mean you're going to get exactly the changes you were looking for. Vote for the changes in User Voice; nagging Kevin about them here is not going to get your requests addressed any faster. Simply stating "no fade effect" isn't a request, and icon sizing is a request which has been submitted in User Voice already. Please, please, please, stop cluttering the thread with this stuff, and vote for the feature in the appropriate places. We all enjoy this launcher and this thread...please help to keep it that way. :) :o
[Nova Launcher] hshah:
Excuse me but I was not nagging. I was asking a simple question and since this thread is for the application it is also appropriate to do so. :rolleyes:
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Look, I respect your right to ask the question, 100%. But Kevin himself, started the User Voice, specifically to address questions like yours...not to mention, that exact same question has been asked several times in the last couple of pages. I want everyone to be able to enjoy the launcher, and I'd like for everyone's questions to be addressed, but Kevin is one guy, and can't get to everyone's issues, which is why he set up a place for feature requests, bug reports, etc. I wasn't trying to be rude at all...there's just been 1001 questions like this, ever since Prime went on sale last week. If people actually read the OP, they'd see the User Voice segment, which would allow them to channel their questions/requests to the appropriate place. Instead, people are getting frustrated, because Kevin isn't active in the thread...and that's what I'm trying to prevent...your (and other people's) frustration. I'm not trying to be rude...just trying to help out.

Thanks for your work
[Nova Launcher] AllSeeyinEye:
Apex Pro vs Nova Prime

I am an Apex Pro

and

Nova Prime user for some time now. Here's my comparison of the two, both running the latest beta.

I've set them both up with 4 identical homescreens, using the same widgets. Nova runs with three tabs in the drawer. Apex has 4 (the extra tab is the 'All apps' tab). Transitions are equal, both two docks with the same icons and functions, except Apex has two dockicons with a swipe down gesture and Nova has two 'two finger rotate gestures'.

Smoothness in changing homescreens and drawer tabs

Both launchers are running butterly smooth on my S2. Apex had a minor dip in this behavior in release 1.3.0 beta 6, 1.3.0 and 1.3.1, but with the latest beta it's back where it belongs. Both swiping to change screen/tab and flicking to change screen/tab work the same on both launchers.

Main differences

Apex has more settings you can change, i.e. adjusting the menu - pro

Nova can import settings from other launchers - major pro

Apex has swipe up and swipe down gestures on dock - (for me) neutral

Nova has visual feedback when swiping a dock - major pro

Nova has two finger rotate gestures - pro

Nova background slides to start when reaching the end, Apex jumps to start. - Still not sure what I like better.

Apex drawer tabs are easier to configure (In Nova it can only be done from the menu) - pro

Apex drawer has continuous swiping - pro

The notification settings in Apex (nor the addon for Nova) I don't use.

For me it's pretty hard to choose what launcher to use. The visual feedback on swiping on dock is the main feature that's pulling me to Nova, but Apex being easier to configure and the continuous swiping in the drawer (and the all apps tab) are pulling me to Apex.

Perhaps both launchers could copy the missing features from each other?!
[Nova Launcher] scuba156:
But then we would just end up with two launchers that are identical in features. Both should stay separate from each other and set out to accomplish their own goals.
[Nova Launcher] AllSeeyinEye:
As soon as the features are equal, the 'battle' between the launchers will be fought over things as memory usage, smoothness and other things 'under the hood'.
[Nova Launcher] adl:
I was on Apex for quite some time, but bought Nova Prime on the 25cent sale. Must admit it never looked back to Apex, for me Nova feels smoother. Actually I really don't need any cool new features, but what I'd like to see is the option to turn off the name of the folders. I don't give names to folders, but there is always the "unnamed folder" text as can be seen here in german language:

http://db.tt/a5TFyrLb

Besides that the Launcher is amazing, stable and very fast on my SGS2 with LPG (4.0.3). Thanks for all your work! :thumbup:

As a workaround (not a fix, obviously) until such an option is added you can just 'name' the folder with a blank space (single tap of the space bar). Not elegant, but effective.
