I thought that I had found a solution, so I posted it, but, then, upon review, I realized that it wouldn't work, so I replaced the text of the post with the word "delete", which was merely a request to the mod to delete the post. Sorry for the confusion.

Hey guys have a big Problem with Apex or Nova since a few weeks. :(

A Scrolling Bug... always when I scroll in App Drawer (Stil Vertical Scroll), the Widgets, then stopped Nova or Apex Launcher for 30 seconds.

I try many things, wipe data or reinstall Rom, but the Scroll Bug is still present.

Is that a bug from the launchers or Sammy (S4). Anyone here has the similar problem and can maybe afford a help, idea or better fix?!

Regards

[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I would start by switching ROMs. If you're using the same one with both Apex and Nova, and having the same problem with each launcher, it might be fair to assume that your ROM is causing the problem.
[Nova Launcher] aeroman:
Is also a possibility or Kernel, :) I tap on incorrect widgets (to do Java) must,

however, still run a detailed logcat. ;)

Works because when you vertical scrolling in the Drawer / widgets properly, if use vertical Drawer-Stil?

I don't see the option to make notification bar transparent anymore , have that been removed ?
[Nova Launcher] 55Pegasus:
I see it's been asked before but did not see an answer.

Just upgraded to the lg g2 that has knock on/ off to turn the screen on/off, basically double tap. The on works fine. If the double tap feature to turn off the screen could be added in gestures it would been a nice addition for all devices.
[Nova Launcher] Braneless:
Use a screen lock app from the Play Store and setup a Nova double tap gesture to activate it.
[Nova Launcher] 55Pegasus:
Still would be nice not to have a extra app to do the same thing.:)

When I upgraded my HTC One to Android 4.3 (stock) I sometimes get thrown back to the Sense dekstop (Sense launcher) when I leave an app by pressing the Back button. If I then click the Home button I'm back in the Nova launcher with my Nova desktop.

Is this a known bug?

really hope the next update can bring Screen Off and Lock as a Nova Action

it's a tremendously helpful gesture!
[Nova Launcher] mrdoug:
I experienced this. Think I posted it some time back on 9/18. Here was Kevin's suggestion:

Unfortunately, before I got this response I jumped the gun and reinstalled Nova. So, I can't tell you which actually fixed it. But either his suggestions or a reinstall did it for me (HTC One 4.3 stock on AT&T).

[Nova Launcher] akhan47:
I've had this problem for a while, I remember it happened a few times on my Gnex too.

Sometimes Nova Launcher refuses to let me place apps in the dock. The app icon just gets stuck on the screen when I place it there, just like pictured in the screenshot.

I've tried changing everything in the settings but cannot make the issue go away. It won't let me place an app in the dock. This has been the case for a few weeks.

Anyone else experience this?
[Nova Launcher] Laban:
Thank you! I have only tried it now for a few times and it has been working again after I did a reboot. Android is so stable that I didn't even think of making a reboot to see if it solved my problems.
[Nova Launcher] erikrh:
I was about to post this and saw you're experiencing the same issue hehe; I can't place or edit icons in the dock either, I tried clearing cache, app data, reinstalling, etc. and nothing seems to correct this on my i9300 using Carbon ROM nightlies (4.3.1), I hope we could get an update that fixes this little issue :)

Battery Drain

Hello Everyone, I've tried searching for Nova and battery drain, but I haven't had much luck. I've always had a great experience with Nova, but since I've rooted/unlocked my Galaxy S3 and am running CM10.2 Nightly on it, I've been experiencing massive battery drain from Nova. At least that is what GSAM battery monitor is reporting.

Instead of importing old settings, I've re created my Drawers, and set up Nova from scratch. Yet I'm still experiencing this battery drain. I've tried everything I can think of, but to no avail.

If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

posted this in the 4.4 launcher thread but thought I'd throw this out here too.

Any chance of getting the "ok google" feature on Nova? New launcher is alright but would much rather use Nova for now. Not entirely sure why it would need the google launcher but then again I don't know a whole lot lol.

So any ideas or not possible? I mean sure it works if you click the mic and then proceed to go "ok google" but having the mic on all the time to just be able to say it would be ideal.
[Nova Launcher] erikrh:
Yeah... I don't think that's the issue here, I can't even edit the icons, I can remove them but then it's not possible to add them back, the icon just gets frozen, even if you hide the dock afterwards the icon is still there floating and the only way to remove it is restarting the launcher :eek:
[Nova Launcher] daffie:

Hi. I have installed this weather app Android Weather & Clock-Widget.

But each time I restart my phone or come back from settings Nova Launcher asks me to remove widgets that are not working and if I remove that "Android Weather & Clock-Widget" I can go back to Novas home screen....

Menu key doesn't bring up menu on Nexus 10

I got this on my nexus 10 and it's a great launcher, but when I hit the menu button on my navigation bar, no menu appears, neither at the top right or bottom of my home screen. I also noticed this problem with Apex Launcher, but the menu comes up fine on Action Launcher and Holo Launcher HD. Does anyone know why this is the case and if there's something I can do about it? I love this launcher and having the menu key on my navigation bar actually bring up the menu would make me love it even more.
[Nova Launcher] fOmey:
Absolutely love this launcher !

I have a question tho, is there anyway I can set a widget on the background layer ? I want to prevent any type of interaction with the widget.

This may seem like a unusual request so ill explain in a little more detail my reasoning, I use novalauncher on my galaxy gear smartwatch.. the widget literally takes up the entire screen and more or less acts like a background.

The problem with this is tho, the widget prevents the double tap gesture to work which I have set up to toggle my dock..

If anyone could lend any insight or any work around I would be in the debt. Be sure to quote this so I receive a notification on XDA.

Will kit Kat beta updates be available directly through the app for those of us who downloaded the apk from your site?
[Nova Launcher] Dudebowski:
Some more ideas, sir:

drawer icons resizable (optimize/ fit to grid option, e.g. 3x3 grid should produce larger icon sizes, blown up to max size allotted for the grid space)

optimize grid sizes (read viewport size per phone minus notifications bar/onscreen keys. optimal grids would fit each tile as close to a square as possible. multiple optimal sizes could exist, so optimize for small, medium, large)

more gestures. like... a 2px width hotspot swipe from deep corner pockets / sides. could easily fit another 12 gestures that way. 2 on each side, cut in half, and the four corners.

ability to drag drawer app icons to a drawer folder. PS: love the way the drawer folders are draggable to the home screen, and also stay put in the drawer. some safety net if i go nuclear on my desktop without backin up

folders within folders. just only max 2 deep, else entropy ensues.

drawer sort options besides alphabetical. yeah, i know this is starting to sound like a home screen. im just planting seeds.

quick swap between drawer folder and drawer tab, and vice versa. i.e. "crap, i made a folder and added the apps, but it should've been a tab."

haven't tested this yet, but I'm hoping there's a small database of the

apps <> drawer-tab <> drawer folder

if an app gets uninstalled/reinstalled, most desirable to sort it back to the same location. case in point, if i clean-install a new ROM, and install nova launcher first, restore settings... I appreciate the way the home screen will just hold an 'app not installed' placeholder. once i restart it's all back in place.

in addition to this, if there's any possibility for a toggle to not *show* the placeholder, but have the placeholder still exist for if/when the app is reinstalled. obv. this won't work too well on the homescreen, maybe as a low_priority that will be overwritten if a new element takes it's place... but in the drawer organization, would be a boon to efficient clean-flash recovering. TI-backup, CWMbackup, yada yada... sometimes stuff goes horribly wrong.

EDIT: Combing back a bit through the thread after posting this, and realizing what horrible timing to post feature requests, what with kitkat merges looming. Hopefully this post won't be buried and forgotten! Good luck with all that, excited for whatever rolls out.

Might wanna fix the lag when swiping between home screens before working on a completely diff build. It was very apparent on my gnex, and now I'm noticing it on my Note 3. With a MONSTER device like the note 3 this is just unacceptable. There is absolutely zero lag on the stock launcher.

I now also don't quite understand it, why all of a sudden have a Google account is required to get the beta downloads for Prime Users? :confused:

the former away on the browser, but was good and sufficient?!

[Nova Launcher] JRJ442:
Because now Google requires apps that are available in the Play Store, to use the store for beta testing apps as well. There's not much of a way around that without getting yelled at by Google. Or possibly getting Nova pulled if he doesn't comply. All apps that have betas available have to do this now. Besides, its way easier to get notified in the Play Store where you update your apps anyway, when a new beta is available.

Anyone?

[Nova Launcher] rmiles7721:
That's not optional. Google doesn't allow for updates that don't come through the play store channel.
[Nova Launcher] TadeoNYC:
I'm not sure you know exactly what we are talking about. Up until the last update, which was well after the new Google rules were put in place, you could install the apk from the NOVA website and get push notifications of beta updates. If you mistakenly updated from the PLAY store then you had to download it from the site again to get updates. It has nothing to do with Google, unless the rules have gotten even stricter.

I run NOVA on my OUYA, and for quite a while did not have the PLAY store. I want the option of removing/freezing it in the future and still getting beta updates.

[Nova Launcher] rmiles7721:
I probably could have stated that better. The way I understand it is that in order to offer a Play store version that's where the updates have to come from.

There's plenty of apps that also offer updates outside of the play store as well. I purchased Titanium and Tasker as non-play store and my Tasker updates I get from his site so yeah you are right.
