I use redmi 1s, currently using nova launcher 3.3 and i found that:

- Dialler get "permission denied" warning text, i simply delete it and add it back using app drawer, for now it works though

- When i went to setting --> airplane mode and selected it, it displayed wi-fi settings, though the title still airplane mode, haven't found the cause yet

- In MIUI, we have scheduler battery performance, i set it up so at 22:00 until 07:00 it would be sleep mode, otherwise it is default mode; It is not working until i set it up again and pressed OK again; Haven't tried if i reboot the phone yet

That's all i have found today :D
[Nova Launcher] MrKaon:
Can someone tell me where is scroll indicator for drawer in setting?

I cannot find it.

Thanks
[Nova Launcher] L.F.B.:
Nova Prime 3.3 smooth here as always... in my N7 5.0LP and my i9505 eith CM11. I love this launcher!

My only problem is tesla unread not showing the Google Inbox unread messages...:-\
[Nova Launcher] Mikulic1802:
It was allways in homescreen settings, so if you change it in homescreen it is changed in drawer also
[Nova Launcher] MrKaon:
Don't have scroll indicator for drawer but have it for screen? Confused
[Nova Launcher] Mikulic1802:
??? Nova settings-desktop-scroll indicator. What you select there, that will also be in drawer... Idk why are you confused
[Nova Launcher] MrKaon:
Let me show you

You see indicator here:

But you don't see here:
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
None of those things are launcher issues. The dialer is a system app, settings issues are either a SystemUI or Settings.apk problem, and your MIUI battery profiles are a ROM problem. I suggest reporting all of these things in the appropriate ROM thread.
[Nova Launcher] Mikulic1802:
Well you found a bug, try to play with your setup, it allways worked for me as i described :)
[Nova Launcher] MrKaon:
It shows up sometimes but then disappears suddenly, lol

Same problem with HTC One M8
[Nova Launcher] noturbru:
You mean like this?

If yes

Go to nova settings, app drawer, menu actions uncheck the two options. And change your app drawer tab style to "small tabs"
[Nova Launcher] Aashuk Mehta:
Really need to customize long press gesture on desktop. My gf knows how to use nova and she always find out what apps I hid. :p

Please help me
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Why are you hiding apps from your girl is a better question, lol. [emoji6]

Btw, there's no long press gesture option in Nova, so if you're trying to hide something, a gesture won't work. Why not just use a pin or password if you want to keep your phone private?
[Nova Launcher] Mambobuzzz:
Yeeeeeesssss, that was exactly what I mean ! Many thanks ! That just looks so gooooooood ! :) Love this launcher !
[Nova Launcher] Aashuk Mehta:
Yea I keep a password. But when your girl asks you to unlock it... How to say no XD.

I'm still tracking the person who taught her how to go to Nova settings by long pressing on desktop :p
[Nova Launcher] hawkwind212:
What does Apex do? I use Apex pro too, and it has the similar types of gestures as NOVA launcher. Unless you're talking about something else different, I still don't see where you can perform a gesture to close the drawer once the drawer is open.
[Nova Launcher] inzaghi75:
Telsa unread is buggy.
[Nova Launcher] ethereal_mist:
In Apex I have set Swipe Up gesture to open app drawer. So when I swipe up it opens app drawer and when I swipe up again when in app drawer it exits and takes me back to homescreen instead of pressing the Back button. That doesn't happen in Nova.
[Nova Launcher] Aashuk Mehta:
Only thing nova is missing is desktop long press gesture honestly, apex have had it for years
[Nova Launcher] mutepoint:
Nova uses long press to unlock the desktop and then relock it automatically. In Apex you have to use a clunky menu to unlock and then lock it back again.

If your GF is that nosey and demanding - hide your apps in the app drawer instead of your desktop.
[Nova Launcher] Ja_som:
There is long press on desktop gesture. But you can't change it... If you lock your desktop, then with long press you unlock it...

mutepoint was a bit faster :)
[Nova Launcher] justiiin:
I'm pretty sad with the animation when leaving the Recent Apps list in Lollipop, without opening an app in it.

The Search bar has a serious graphic flaw, shooting downwards, which just looks odd and broken and what not.

Keeping the Nova animations non-Lollipop (slide up) fixes this, but I want things to be equal animation-wise...

Could the developers somehow keep the animation like it was before Lollipop, for just the Search bar? Or however they have it set non-Lollipop style..

This would fix the issue permenantly I think.
[Nova Launcher] vishnuuonline:
Best Launcher Ever
[Nova Launcher] ethereal_mist:
No option for custom dock background like Apex.
[Nova Launcher] Aashuk Mehta:
I guess that'll work for now...

I just hope she may be dumb enough to not unlock it and long press again
[Nova Launcher] hawkwind212:
I understand the swipe up gesture and drawer open /close toggle, but what I'm asking is, once the drawer is open and your whole screen is occupied with app icons, if you do a swipe up, won't you just be moving the icons upward? Do you do the swiping in the status bar area?
[Nova Launcher] sordna:
Can you post some pics to better illustrate the issue?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
That's not super helpful ?
[Nova Launcher] Samstag494:
Hey, I just switched from LG Launcher to Nova Launcher and tried to add a chronus calendar widget. The text is much smaller on LG Launcher, how can I change that?

I want to habe the smaller text again, so I can see more entries.

I tried to change the rows on the Desktop but no matter what I try (12x12 or 3x3) it stays the same
[Nova Launcher] ethereal_mist:
Nope. nothing moves in swiping up and down unless you tap and hold on it. We are just simply swiping up on the app drawer screen like we do in homescreen. Try it out yourself on Apex.
[Nova Launcher] TokedUp:
Yeah I think ur putting way too much thought into this. You swipe up for app drawer then swipe up again and app drawer closes. You can't move icons in app drawer anyway unless u long press an app to get to edit/app info/ uninstall.
[Nova Launcher] hawkwind212:
I'm not talking about moving or uninstalling any icons. Talking about scrolling the drawer screen up. But you're right, it's clearly a case of miscommunication. I don't know what you're talking about, and you don't know what I'm trying to say. It happens when you're tokedup ;)

---------- Post added at 05:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:39 PM ----------

My apology to you and tokedup. I had my drawer pagination style set to vertical continuous, and that was why it didn't work. Once I had the drawer style setted to horizontal pagination in Apex launcher, it worked just as you described. Also, it didn't work in nova just as you reported.
[Nova Launcher] inzaghi75:
It doesn't show the unread inbox mails. And Gmail crashes.
[Nova Launcher] TokedUp:
Now who's TokedUp? ;)
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Well if Gmail itself is crashing (not a launcher issue) then the apk is clearly broken. Therefore the unread count probably won't work. Are you using any modified version of the app? And what ROM/kernel combo are you running? A lot of different things can cause apps to crash.
[Nova Launcher] JoeSyr:
Ugh, I actually spent more time fiddling with this and pretty much the only thing I'm still certain of is that the burn in exists. But I've basically scrapped my original theory, I think what I was seeing was actually a different bug just coupled with my attempts to connect all the dots. The overscroll effect lining up was just a coincidence that I was reading into, especially because that animation expands to be so much more than the issue with my screen. Couldn't get it to show up in picutres, by the way. I think I'd just need a better camera than anything I have access to. It's a somewhat subtle effect but it's got a "can't unsee" aspect to it. It's just that a row of what looks like it's about two pixels tall, both at the very top and very bottom in portrait, is brighter than the rest of the screen. At this point, I'm back to having no clue as to what's caused that, I can't even remember how long since it first showed up. For all I know it could just be a very specific hardware bug with the display itself.

There is *a* buggy behavior hidden in all of this that I've found quite confusing, but I think it has more to do with the AOSP wallpaper cropper more than anything else. I've used it interchangeably with nova's own cropper in the past, Nova's is clearly more robust of a tool but the AOSP one is a pretty quick and simple approach that often worked for me needs (I rarely change wallpapers in the first place). But now I'm noticing something that's been staring me in the face for a while: For reasons I can't quite tease out, sometimes the way it crops a photo leaves half of the nav bar black, sometimes the entire nav bar is cleanly cropped out. It's always one of those two. Very odd, but the simple workaround is to use Nova's own tool.

Does anyone have any issues with version 3.3 freezing and crashing?

I didn't have any issues with beta 3.3, but the stable version freezes my phone all the time to the point where it crashes and revert back to the Google launcher.

I notice when it freezes, my battery starts getting warm and draining too. I'm on a Nexus 5 with the Lollipop OTA update. No root.
[Nova Launcher] atilla88:
Crashes,battery drain missing statusbar since beta 1 on my s5

Here works really fine. None of the stuff mentioned above.
[Nova Launcher] wilkster:
With the upgrade to Tesla unread I found I had to go into its settings and (re)enable the applications I wanted it to read notifications for. Otherwise it wasn't reporting unread messages.
[Nova Launcher] uncreator:
Got no crashing whatsoever. A bit of lag now and then, otherwise it runs perfectly fine.
[Nova Launcher] Alan_100:
good

Love this launcher .. testing now!
[Nova Launcher] george_o:
I don't have any problems with this launcher. No crashing, no bugging on Allview Viper V1S (aka Walton Primo S2).
[Nova Launcher] atilla88:
Well im back on 3.2

Runs amazing for me
[Nova Launcher] niteh@wk:
Going back to the home screen (pressing the Home button), Nova CPU usage spikes causing a bit of lag. Looks like it is redrawing. It used to be much smoother. I do have the Agressive desktop option checked. Anyone experiencing this?

After restoring settings, and opening app drawer, launcher FCs everytime and reverts back to default settings.

Nova version is the newest.

Sorry i took so long to respond. School has been in the way. But i tried what you said about the two other soft keys. No luck still :(

I did find this:

And the buttons and layout menu is also missing which is strange. I'm running cm-11-20141205-NIGHTLY-t0lte for Note 2.

There is no expanded desktop. It's missing.

I think it's time for a new rom.
[Nova Launcher] Regnas:
Hi there...

Anyone know if there is a option to disable vibration when tap and hold on a icon to edit/move etc, it's a little annoying and drains battery.

And by the way, can we have a option to protect the folders with password/pin? I'm looking for a launcher with this feature for ages..

Thanks.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
There's nothing in the log that points specifically to Nova, but it looks like CM12 is crashing all over the place. Maps is mentioned several times, and there are multiple lines about libs, binaries, or directories that are missing. Is CM12 even stable, or are you running an alpha build? Do you have these issues with CM11?

Of you find the haptic feedback annoys you, that's one thing, and hopefully Kevin can add the ability to disable it, but trust me, it doesn't drain the battery. The kind of feedback that drains battery is the button (capacitive or soft key) presses, since you're always using them.

And no, there no folder protection, but again, that might be a nice feature that Kevin should look at.

Sent from my 64GB MB Nexus 6
[Nova Launcher] Regnas:
Sorry if I was not clear, but I'm talking about the customization process, that time when you are creating shortcuts, moving icons, creating folders etc... during that time the vibration can drain some battery and is totally useless imho...

So a option to disable this is crucial. With Apex I can disable the vibration, so Nova should do as well.. :D

And yes, password for folders plllleeeeaaaassssseeee....
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Gotcha, that makes sense. Usually I only have time to customize the homescreens when I'm home, so I charge while I'm doing it. I agree that an option to disable the feedback would be good though.

Sent from my 64GB MB Nexus 6
[Nova Launcher] zelendel:
Wrong answer. Kevin has always done what he likes in the launcher and if another launcher has an option he like then he will add it. If not then he doesnt.

Also it doesnt take any real battery. Nothing that will be noticable.
[Nova Launcher] Regnas:
And what about the user base?

I bet most users would like this feature.

Yes, and the password for folders too. :D
[Nova Launcher] pkelly517:
I do believe the software is licensed AS IS. No warranty, etc.

Kevin owes the user base nothing.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
^Don't go overboard with this guys. All Z was saying is that Kevin will add/remove features as he sees fit, and that he's not obligated to recreate every feature Apex (or any other launcher) has. Let's not turn this into more than it is.

Sent from my 64GB MB Nexus 6
[Nova Launcher] Regnas:
Of course he owes nothing... but you know the drill, a software is nothing without a user base...

So, a bit of consideration to the users's requests is a good thing imho...
[Nova Launcher] zelendel:
Guys let it go. If the dev wants it or feels the need to add it he will. If not then he won't. Simple. There is a feature request area set up for things like this.

You can disable vibration using App Ops if your ROM has App Ops enabled.

Can anyone with a Nexus 5 with Lollipop tell me if Nova Launcher 3.3 stable is running fine on their phone?

I was the one that posted about mine freezing. Beta 3.3 was perfectly fine for me though. I guess i should just go back to beta for now.

[Nova Launcher] txx3:
the only thing missing is the Google NOW page, any comments on that from the dev?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
It's a proprietary feature, so the actual function can't be included. Kevin has always seemed to resist adding hacky features, just for the sake of having them, but you never know, he may find a way to make it work. But no, he hasn't made any comments about the Google Now page.

You probably accidentally enabled "resize all Widgets" under desktop nova settings or where you can snap Widgets in mid-grid. Long press the widget and see if you can resize it to fit correctly.

Hi guys,I'm using nova launcher on my oneplus one with a cm12 ROM (temasek) and AK kernel and I got a strange issue: scrolling wallpaper doesn't work,even if I force it on the nova launcher setting! Is this a known problem with lollipop? Any solution?

It might be broken in CM12... That's a very alpha build, isn't it?

Problemi solved: i had installed katinatez gapps with the rom ,those gapps removes some of the aosp apps and replace them with the cm11s/google apps Like apollo->play music or aosp camera->cameranext so ive installed the aosp gallery that i have extracted from the ROM zip itself and then ive installed it like a normal apk because its faster than gallerynext and this app solved my problem somehow,I don't even know how or why XD

[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Hmmm... I'm not sure the first few points are actually related to Nova. Icon pack devs use specific app names so that the icons will change after the pack is updated. If you change the app name, the icon pack can't find it, and therefore won't update it. I'm not sure Nova can override things like that, since a launcher doesn't store app names in memory. Even if it did, changing the name of an app is a user override (ie customization)... Nova was designed with customization in mind, so expecting it to override your changes, seems counterintuitive.
[Nova Launcher] JoeSyr:
Well, I don't mean to contradict if you're coming at this with more experience, but what you're saying doesn't really jive with my observations. All the relevant behaviors seem to imply to me that icon packs work by identifying package names (E.g. Google Calendar isn't "Calendar", since any app can call itself that, but "com.google.android.calendar" is a unique identifier once it's installed). Changing labels shouldn't confuse icon pack behavior, and from what I can tell, it doesn't (the manual picker still suggests the correct default no matter what you've renamed). Further, everything Nova's doing seems to be up to the way it manages its own database, so it's really a question of what logic it's using and how it's setting things. As far as I can tell, setting a new icon pack is basically works like this : Nova asks the icon app "Hey tell me all the package names you have icons for." Nova checks that against installed apps that appear in the drawer, and then filters out the ones that have already been manually edited in any way. Nova then changes the icons for any apps that are still a valid match.

The kicker is that once the user starts customizing things manually, any app that is touched gets locked into manual mode, and there's no way to get automatic mode back on a per-app basis, you can only reset the entire platform and start over. In most cases, it's not so bad if this means "Things will get more and more manual as you work over time, and if you want to go back to automatically setting everything with a default icon pack, you just start over". I'd argue that it's still sub-optimal, but in my experience, trying a new icon pack means that I probably want to see how the whole thing looks anyway, before I go back to my manual cases.

The Calendar functionality is sort of a special case that makes this all fall apart, though, because you can end up with a feature that only applies to a single app and only works if that app is still in automatic mode. Something's screwy if the only way to enable a feature for one app in the drawer is to discard all of your other customizations (this can be tedious if you've assigned a lot of custom icons by cherry-picking through a big icon pack's list). The workaround is "don't touch the calendar app's label or icon if you think you're going to want to change to a different automatically updating icon", but that's not a great standard. The fact that the automatic vs manual trigger is totally invisible until you start to notice that apps aren't responding to new icon packs is also pretty unintuitive.

This is something that can not be achieved with a third party launcher like Nova. That is Googles proprietary software which they haven't open sourced so it just can't be done in the same way it works in Google Now Launcher.
