So many thanks for having fixed the margins issue I reported, now it works :)

However, you added some new bugs :(

1- swipe up set to toggle status bar and swipe down to expand notifications. Status bar is hidden. Swipe up to show status bar, now swipe down to expand notifications, collapse notifications by swipe up on them, now swipe up on home: you expand notifications instead of status bar toggle. This can be reproduced when you try the swipe up/down alternatively

2- transitions between home screens are now too way faster then they were by default

3- a short swipe right/left on home will make it move a bit and back where it was instead of switch home page. Now, we need a longer swipe to switch homes

4- toggle home pages with swipe right / left sometimes is not detected

All these issues are introduced since the 1.1.4 beta 2 (I skipped beta 1)

1.1.3 was great, expect the margins. Now margins are fixed, but overall swipe experience is messed up

Hope you fix it soon

Device is i9100 stock ICS (LP7 rooted with CF_Root)

Many thanks for your great support
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
It's a bit messy at this time as it's moving around in the next major update. Right now there's one in res/color.xml (holo_blue) but it's also in smali at com.teslacoilsw.launcher.preferences.r -> aj and in 1.1.4 i think the folder XML still hard codes it.

The changes between 1.1.4beta2 and 1.1.4 final involve unread counts, accessibility, margins, and translations. None of these would effect swipe. It sounds like you changed your Settings > Look & Feel > Scroll Speed.
[Nova Launcher] jonny_ftm:
I didn't touch any thing, and I'm far from being a tech noob, I look and debug enough...

I tried to reset it and adjust settings again, same "insensitive" feel while swiping home screens. It is really smooth, this is great, but just like the screen is less sensitive when you swipe homes

Also, what about this more annoying issue that I have since early versions:

1- swipe up set to toggle status bar and swipe down to expand notifications. Status bar is hidden. Swipe up to show status bar, now swipe down to expand notifications, collapse notifications by swipe up on them, now swipe up on home: you expand notifications instead of status bar toggle. This can be reproduced when you try the swipe up/down alternatively

Many thanks for your support
[Nova Launcher] JayR_Themer:
Thank you for that kevin. Much appreciated!
[Nova Launcher] Shadow-Nexus:
Does anyone still have this issue?

Widgets keep freezing
[Nova Launcher] Zomb!e:
Is it possible to add the option to adjust the size of the dock icons? I would love to see that in the future. Possibly resize desktop icons too?
[Nova Launcher] luxifr:
The bug i reported here on 1.1.3 is still there in 1.1.4

Also it doesn't seem like the GC can't catch up as the memory usage doesn't go back down over time

You don't even have to exessively do what I described... For 5 apps grouped that way in a row memory usage went up almost 12MB... that way, if you want to group a great number of apps Nova will eventually FC due to memory usage...

But I'm hoping for a revamped app grouping / folder management in the drawer anyway so it'll behave like folders in the desktop (maybe even sync if you draw a folder from the drawer to the desktop - that'd be nice!) like e.g. Go Launcher does it... the current way of grouping apps in the drawer is a nuisance...

nevertheless: this bug is bugging :)
[Nova Launcher] radekula:
In version 1.1.4 this bug is still present. I know its low priority bug so I want just to recall.

Also a setting to reverse order of docks (when in landscape) would be nice :) Example:

Current setting:

Portaint: dock 1, dock 2, dock 3, dock 4

Landscape (starting from top):

dock 4,

dock 3,

dock 2,

dock 1,

Landscape inverse (starting from top):

dock 1,

dock 2,

dock 3,

dock 4,

For some of my friends its a little bit confusing that scrolling up is not scrolling to first dock :)
[Nova Launcher] Natedog1:
I know I still do.
[Nova Launcher] enigma1981:
Anyone else have Nova FC on them while trying to add widgets from the drawer when NOT installed as a system app?
[Nova Launcher] okty2k:
I also have the feeling that the swipe experience is not the best. Using default settings, sometimes I need to push twice in order to get to the drawer from the home screen. Or to launch any applications from the screen.

this goes on Xperia Arc S, with Nova Prime.
[Nova Launcher] MidwestDrummer:
Bought Prime about a week ago, and I love it. Are there any plan to allow custom grids in the app drawer? I'd like to have at least 5 columns. Having only 4 just feels like I'm wasting space.
[Nova Launcher] Jeremy:
Any sort of theme support coming along?
[Nova Launcher] nsnsmj:
Is there any way you could have custom folder icons, or (custom) icons in general, automatically scale to the grid size like folders do? Currently, depending on grid size, the icons will be cut off on the sides (or top and bottom). But when you use the default folder icon options, they scale to the grid size, showing the entire icon.
[Nova Launcher] Wendigogo:
Hello,

First, thanks for this great launcher !

I've got a bug (not founded in this thread) with "double tap" gesture : I use it to switch to default screen but it fails. It only shows the screen indicator and stays on current screen.

It's only this couple of setting : "double tap" works fine when opening app drawer etc. and "switch to default screen" works with another gesture too ...

Is there a solution for this ? Could I help debugging ?

I'm using stable release with Prime and TeslaUnread Plugin.
[Nova Launcher] pakino2004:
I like your works! Much better then apex, especially the smooth on my note. But now apex has the possibility to integrate of go themes. Any chance for the future. Thanks in advance

Saludos y muchas gracias

My note is like hell
[Nova Launcher] jeanne8fr:
Unread Email indicator always shows 1

Using 1.1.4 Prime and the plugin. It shows 1 email even though there isn't any.

I tried restarting Nova. Force stop the plugin. Nothing works. Still reads 1 email.

Still like the launcher but annoying.

Also the badge I get is a little black square with a white number. Any ways to change that to a little round badge like my phone?
[Nova Launcher] shr33kant:
Is it just me or does vertical wallpapers still not work on this app? Widget locker managed to do it just fine. Am I missing some setting?

Assuming you mean "iPhone" then you should be ashamed about your question.
[Nova Launcher] jeanne8fr:
I am not ashamed of anything. I like some things and I will not apologize for my tastes.

And no one can tell me what to like or not to like.

I would prefer a little round badge. It's up to the developer to tell me if that's possible or not.
[Nova Launcher] Rblacula:
It's in the Unread Count subcategory I believe under theme and select Classic instead of Holo (will check to make sure this is 100% correct later, but I'm away from my phone right now) and good for you for standing up for yourself! I swear, radical fanboys here can sometimes remind me of radical Shiites.

Edit: I was right! Here's a pic of how to find it:
[Nova Launcher] JayR_Themer:
Hate to bother you again kevin...

if you could shed a bit more light it would be greatly appreciated...

in res/values/colors.xml, i changed the holo blue light color to white, compiled and installed, and no change of the blue glow.

the xml folder doesnt seem to contain what im looking for in regards to changing the blue glow.. it may however im by no means a pro at this stuff. i have a good general idea of how to read and alter xmls properly.

com.teslacoilsw.launcher.preferences.r is where im looking now. i have found ->aj in 3 instances. if using notepad++ or another app that numbers each line, im looking at lines these:

Line 405: iput v0, p0, Lcom/teslacoilsw/launcher/preferences/r;->aj:I

Line 2134: iget v3, p0, Lcom/teslacoilsw/launcher/preferences/r;->aj:I

Line 2140: iput v0, p0, Lcom/teslacoilsw/launcher/preferences/r;->aj:I

now, smali is something i know little about. in the past ive been able to locate a few text colors here and there in various apps the rest is very foreign to me lol..

basically from all this im no closer to locating this blue glow than before :(

thanks for your time and an awesome launcher and anymore possible insight into this.

[Nova Launcher] Kellicros:
Is it possible to change the colof of the text labels? I cant find that option anywhere. They are in white, and very hard to read on bright backgrounds.
[Nova Launcher] JayR_Themer:
This particular text color must be edited in the styles.xml of the values folder while decompiled. Pretty easy edit if you have the proper environment setup to do so.
[Nova Launcher] XlAfbk:
it's also possible to change the color using a CM9 theme, though that's a tad more complicated than just editing the nova.apk
[Nova Launcher] SubyWill:
This is what I would like to as well.
[Nova Launcher] Rblacula:
Themes would be good IMO as well just so we could say we had everything Apex has and more. It's why it's good we finally have Temple Run and Instagram because now when iSheep try and say my phone is inferior there's less of a difference. Nova's already better anyways, it's just icing on the Nova cake! I want a theme that just makes the overscroll effect orange and the tablet transition. It'd be cool!
[Nova Launcher] jonny_ftm:
Well, after a complete reinstall, swipe speed is back to normal!

Now, my last big issue is swipe up mistaken as swipe down. I made a video and will upload to YouTube later. How can I send a debug with the issue? I activated "send a report", is that enough as i see no option to manually send with detailed info?
[Nova Launcher] jonny_ftm:
As I said in post just above, here's the link to a video I recorded with this so annoying bug: swipe up acting like swipe down randomly

So happy I'm not alone with it :)

Now, hope it will get soon fixed as it messes the only useful feature I payed for (other features are more cosmetic then functional for my own needs)
[Nova Launcher] sanosoke:
Hello, this is my first post here, so I'm not really sure if this is the best place for requests.

Anyway, I love the launcher, I've been using it for a while as my primary launcher.

I do have a couple of requests though.

1. I would really like to see changeable dock backgrounds and dock icon sizes.

2. Would it be possible to implement a background fade during infinite scroll, like in Go Launcher Ex? I think it's a much more elegant solution

3. A couple more transition effects would be nice, aka an inside cube (of course not if it sacrifices performance)
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
You bring up some really good points. There's a link in the first post, for a section called User Voice, where you can vote for/submit new request topics. :)

1.) I think the dock background idea has already been submitted. Hopefully enough people vote on it, so we can see it included. It's the one remaining feature that I would absolutely love to have!

2.) The Card Stack transition is the only one I can think of, that will give you the "fade" effect you're looking for. It might not be exactly what you want, but it should get the job done.

3.) Adding new transitions would be nice, but as you said, not at the expense of performance. Kevin has done a great job of giving us a ton of features to play with, while still maintaining the launcher's performance, and he seems to place a premium on keeping it that way. I'm sure some new transitions may come along, but only once some bigger things get sorted out.

Hope this helped a bit. :)
[Nova Launcher] Dhiraj:
Is there option for infinite scrolling in drawer like apex ?
[Nova Launcher] demarcmj:
Yes
[Nova Launcher] enigma1981:
Where's that then?

All I could find is the horizontal/vertical scroll option - which brings me to my bug report:

When selecting vertical scroll, the scrolling in the apps tab is faultless, but when I pan right to the widgets tab, as soon as I start scrolling down, I can see a slightly smaller (like how it shrinks when you're adding shortcuts from the drawer) version of my homescreen - complete with widgets...

Anyone else have this?
[Nova Launcher] Jiggs82:
Still loving this launcher, best ICS launcher out!!! Keep up the good work Kevin:D
[Nova Launcher] uppon2:
First off. I love Nova and have obviously paid for prime!!. I am sure somebody has mentioned this before but I tried searching and couldn't find it due to the nature of the keywords you can use. While having multiple tabs active in app drawer, while changing between "TABS" the apps refresh and almost look like they blur/artifact, Doesn't happen between regular app draws unless you are scrolling in to a new "TAB".

I know I'm not crazy yet so someone else must know about this.
[Nova Launcher] peterbonge:
I think there isn't an option for that. It seems that demarcmj didn't read your question carefully. And that's quite hard, because your question wasn't very long...
[Nova Launcher] enigma1981:
It gets better:

It wasn't even my question lol ;)
[Nova Launcher] demarcmj:
That is the option. Vertical automatically makes it infinite.

But yes, it does seem to have a problem with widgets, which is why I don't use it.
[Nova Launcher] DesignGrits:
So I have a question...whats with the "show divider" option? If you notice when you turn the phone in to horizontal mode there is not only a divider for the dock, but there is a divider line on the opposite side. Is there any way to remove that other line without removing the dock line? It really annoying, can this be fixed or and the option be adjusted?
[Nova Launcher] kibmcz:
Congrats on making featured page :)

Sent from my Kustom Kreme powered Nexus S
[Nova Launcher] Kurre:
Well no it doesn't make it infinite..when using vertical scroll it stops when you'll reach the end of the app list. I think he meant that it should scroll continuously to the first app..infinite loop, you know :rolleyes:
[Nova Launcher] Taverius:
When I integrate an update to a system app with TB my folders loose track of the app ... it would be awesome if you could fix that. :)
[Nova Launcher] demarcmj:
Oh, I was under the impression that infinite scroll essentially meant "not paged." A loop wouldn't really be practical cause then you can't, for example, jump to the end with a quick flick.
[Nova Launcher] ddem1:
Would be practical for some, like me for example :D That's why settings like this are usually optional, just like the infinite scroll for the dock.

BTW Nova Launcher Prime is amazing, looking forward to the future of this launcher :)
[Nova Launcher] mhwarfield:
I would tend to respectfully disagree with you on that. A "flick" is ballistic in that it starts out at a speed determined by the speed of the flick and then slows down. You can always stop it as it flies by just by putting your finger back down. Quite frankly, being able to flick in a loop from the last page around to the first page in a forward motion makes sense to me. A "quick flick" to the end (from the start) would only work if your list of apps or widgets is a LOT shorter than mine! With infinite scrolling, you could just as easily get to the end by scrolling backwards. :D I can see a value in that even WITH ballistic flicks and continuous scrolling.

But, yes, "continuous", "ballistic", and "infinte" are each independent, orthogonal attributes and should not be mixed. But some people hear one and assume the others.
[Nova Launcher] enigma1981:
That's a bit deep for a lot of the guys on here!!

[Nova Launcher] Skunk Ape1:
Have one small issue that keeps coming up. It seem at least twice a week my notification bar keeps disappearing. I continually find myself going into the nova settings and choosing show notification bar.

I would have thought stock settings such as showing the notification bar would be the default setting. And hiding the notification bar would be the option. Since hiding the bar is not an option in AOSP ICS.

Is it possible to allow us to change the app drawer icons?
[Nova Launcher] Staggers:
You already can. Long press on the icon, then choose 'Edit' from the context menu that appears, then use either the gallery or a file manager to select an alternative.
[Nova Launcher] peterbonge:
Please read his question again. I think he meant the icons inside the app drawer and not the app drawer icon itself.

Changing icons inside the app drawer is not possible.
[Nova Launcher] Skunk Ape1:
You're correct. I would also like the ability to create or choose folder icons for both folders on the home screens and app drawer.

Just Flash It !!!
[Nova Launcher] GZ20TT:
Yes - I get that happening.

I've just reverted to adding widgets by long press on a screen now.

I figure i don't add widgets/revamp homescreens much now so I don't mind.

It would be nice to get that fixed though without having to add Nova as a system app.

Good launcher, using widgetlocker as well.

thing is, when unlocking from widgerlocker to the desktop, there is always this slight screen flicker when the desktop appears no matter i'm using transition effect or not.

few requests, can we have the option to remove all kind of labels on the desktop.

(unable to remove labels from my folder organizer widgets)

also can we have addition rows/columns for the desktop. :)

Does anyone know how to organize the apps from the apps to the folders? I have the prime version and basically i can check which apps go into which folders but the apps do not move to the folders!!! Is this a feature thats missing or I'm i missing something. The point of folder is to reduce so that i dont' ahve to scrolll through endless pages of my 100+ apps to find what i want.

If this is a feature not yet implemented I hope it is in the next version.

Wallpaper bug?

In tablet mode on my Galaxy Note (160dpi, ParanoidAndroid, transparent statusbar and softbuttons at the bottom) the wallpaper always has some black lines at the bottom. Looks like it has to be some lines higher. Could you have a look? Thx
[Nova Launcher] computerpro3:
Hi;

First of all, wanted to say thanks for the great work. This is the best launcher for ICS, and I would love to use it except for one glaring problem:

The dock swipe is unfortunately unreliable. The problem is that it requires an absolutely straight vertical swipe to active, with no tolerance for a slight tilt to the left or the right. This is unnatural and hard to do if holding the phone with one hand, resulting in my always having to swipe three or four times to get it working. It's also impossible to do it while driving.

Go Launcher EX, by comparision, has awesome dock swipe sensitivity. As long as I'm swiping generally upwards, it doesn't matter if I go in a perfectly straight line or not. I can even do it one handed while driving.
[Nova Launcher] 1981ts:
tried it out and uninstalling. smooth and steady launcher overall, but less options for the free version compared to Go and Apex launcher which has much more options available.
[Nova Launcher] d14lonestar:
Works great on my evo 4g.

I'm only having 2 issues, both regarding the headphone jack. When I unplug my headphones it resets nova launcher (it sends it back to the android animation screen) and also while I have headphones plugged in and the phone rings it peaks the earpiece (I'm getting a hiss from it). anyone else having similar problems? Does it sound like it's related to nova?

But over all I really like this launcher, keep up the good work!
[Nova Launcher] mhwarfield:
Are you running Deck's ICS ROM? This has been reported in pb (prebeta) 25. A few others are saying the same thing happends with sterio bluetooth headsets. I've personally confirmed that unplugging a headset will cause it to reboot. I haven't confirmed the bluetooth reports. IAC, it doesn't seem to be Nova causing this.
[Nova Launcher] Moh_Jay:
I know this is not contributing in any way but pleeeeaaaassssseeee add the ability to change dock background it just helps complete any sense theme :)
[Nova Launcher] kurtfhouse:
I'm not having a go or anything but if you want something to look exactly like Sense, why don't you just use a Sense rom?
[Nova Launcher] Moh_Jay:
sense is too much of a resource hog in my opinion and not just sense but overall dock backgrounds just add a nice little touch to any theme
[Nova Launcher] nsnsmj:
I know that if you can find the file MIUI uses for icon packs, you can unzip them with something like 7zip and get the icons that way. It's what I did for those MIUI Metro icons. I'm not sure if that's exactly what you're asking about, but if so, I hope that helps.
[Nova Launcher] Gahh Its Lee:
Finally jumped ships to this. Its killing me that I can't change the number of columns and rows in the app drawer. Am I missing a setting?
[Nova Launcher] DesignGrits:
When you are in the nova settings, press and hold the volume down button, it will unlock the LABS options that can make the grid bigger.
[Nova Launcher] Gahh Its Lee:
This works for the app drawer as well?
[Nova Launcher] DesignGrits:
Hmm...I thought it did, but I guess I was wrong.
