Loving the glass animation! If I can offer a suggestion though, I think the color fade "border" around the panels is a little too severe. Just my opinion though; I supposed others might like it this way. Perhaps at some point in the future, that color can be customized with transparency?

Again, just suggestions. The way it is now is already fantastic, by far the best launcher out there!

[Nova Launcher] mrdoug:
I've not seen too much difference in speed / smoothness, here. Early on I thought it was faster (but not enough to be certain), then last update seemed a bit laggy(v4). Now it feels normal again.

Perhaps that lag is why the notification tags didn't show up on occasion in v4? Updated to 5 last night, so far so good.

I believe it was Rockwig who also experienced the missing notification tags. Any problems since v5? I never got a chance to pull a logcat, but if we can narrow it down to something added in v4 then fixed in v5, maybe that would provide some context for Kevin (perhaps help to avoid in future updates).

Nonetheless, v5 seems good here, so far. :)

App drawer shortcut?

Apologies if this is a stupid question, but:

Is there really no shortcut that would take you directly to the app drawer?

I would like to be able to go directly to the app drawer from any application, but right now I have to hit the home key twice. I would like to accomplish this using the navbar in AOKP (which allows using shortcuts), but I can't find "app drawer" among the shortcuts listed for Nova.

I would have thought this is an obvious functionality, so either I am missing something or there's a non-obvious reason why this was not implemented...
[Nova Launcher] neerajvd:
From what I understand from your explanation, you need a shortcut on the home screen which will take you to the App drawer.

Long press on the home screen and select Nova Actions. The first option is "App Drawer"

For achieving "I would like to be able to go directly to the app drawer from any application" you can try task switcher applications.

The AOKP navbar shortcut functionality is a ROM feature, not the launcher feature. And since Nova is as much for non-rooted phones as for rooted phones, I doubt this feature will be implemented.

Hope this is the answer you were looking for.
[Nova Launcher] mattdm:
I think what he means is that there Nova doesn't list "App Drawer" as one of it's externally available Activities. I agree with him; this would be a useful feature.

Sorry that the answer is OT, but in aokp you can choose app window as the button's action or long press... it's not as pretty as nova but it gets the job done.

Widget update issues resolved

@aatoel

After upgrading to jb4.3 I was also having widget update issues but Nova 2.2 seems to have resolved them. I'm using a nexus 4, rooted stock jb, Nova prime. Had been having issues with uccw widgets freezing.

So I'm pretty pleased with the update!

Hope you're sorted!

Having a similar issue with the new dock. When I have my phone in portrait mode, my widget icons (minimalistic text) are shown. When I rotate the phone to landscape, only the first icon remains, all others disappear. Worked perfectly before the update. Also, if using an app icon, they remain. Seems to be a widget icon bug of some kind.

I get an issue where the home screen does not align with the top of the screen when I wake up my Nook HD+. It does not happen every time, but it seems to happen more often with the latest update. It fixes itself as soon as I swipe the page, and sometimes on it's own after several seconds. screen grab of the issue attached. As you can see the home page is slightly low leaving a blank area at the top of the page, and cutting of half the dock at the bottom.

still experiencing crashes

Hi, I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE and I've used 2.1.1 right up to version 2.2 including most of the betas and I'm still experiencing random crashes caused by java.lang.outofmemoryerror. None of the updates seem to have fixed the issues.

I have tried clearing the cache, restarting, uninstalling and reinstalling, clearing the data within Titanium Backup. When I import a layout from another launcher the issues start to happen. I click on an empty widget box to restore a widget it crashes and the empty boxes appear. I try to remove the empty widgets and it crashes and the empty widget boxes reappear.

I restored a backup of version 2.1.1 and the widgets all work properly but sooner or later it just crashes again.
[Nova Launcher] ylexot:
I have a feeling that Kevin will look at that and have no idea what you are talking about.

"I'd like better tabs prewiew in Nova. A good example is the Launcher Pro one, it was perfect.

Nova is the greatest launcher ever seen in android, i think this is the only big lack"

What tabs? The only tabs that I know of are in the app drawer. Launcher Pro never had tabs in the app drawer. Sooooo...what are you asking for?

I still have an option for transparant status bar with my Sprint S4 stock rom however it might be in my head but when I am on the home screen and it switches to an app the status bar goes black a second or so before the app loads up. I don't remember it ever doing this before. Is anyone else experiencing this? Was the status bar transparent in the apps before? Has anyone else noticed some type of difference with this version? Anyone have a link to the previous version so I can test for sure?

[Nova Launcher] Jay Rock:

[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I do understand what you're looking for, but only after you explained it to me... Honestly, if you can edit your request, if recommend doing so, because the guy who responded to you is probably right - tabs aren't the same as pinch to zoom, and LauncherPro never had tabs of any kind. If you reword the request to make your desire for smoother pinch to zoom known clearly, Kevin would certainly know what you're talking about.

I know they're are a lot of terms to remember, when it comes to Android/Linux, but being clear about the terms/features you're discussing is often the best (yet most overlooked) way to have your issues/bugs/requests addressed more rapidly. For example, if someone says, app 'x' uses a lot of memory - well there's RAM, ROM, and Swap memory, so being specific, and complete is a must, in order to have that kind of issue addressed. Likewise, you'll see me (and others) constantly requesting logs from people who report similar bugs... That's because saying "my apps disappear when I do this", isn't complete information... Kevin needs more, in order to locate, isolate, and address the issue. Some people are accommodating, but many people are not, which leads to frustration, as their issues go unaddressed.

I'm certainly not trying to come down on you... Just giving some friendly words of advice. :)

Greetings,

On my device (Samsung SGH-T699 running CM-10.1), I've configured Nova to launch the Google voice search when I long-press the menu button. Lately, I've been finding that Google does appear, but I have to manually click the "tap to speak" button. If I re-assign the command to launch the voice search app directly, the same thing happens. Yet, if I go into the app drawer and launch VS, it works as I would expect. Any thoughts on what to try next are welcome.

I also apologize if someone else has mentioned this-- the search feature in the forum appears to be quite dead ATM.
[Nova Launcher] mrdoug:
This is probably a long shot, but I found some neat options (in choosing the app / shortcut) under shortcuts... Activities (has nova icon).

Voice search had a series of options, all labeled voice search (with a little description below each) . I tried out 'recognition activity' , and it seems to work for me. Maybe this would bypass whatever it is that is causing the problem?

Again, probably a long shot.

There is a bug that has been present since 2.0 came out. When in the app drawer and scrolling to the left, the apps don't move properly sometimes.

Heavy delay of unread count in stock email app

Hello Tesla-Team,

since I updated my Nexus 4 to Android 4.3 stock I have an issue with the TeslaUnread plugin.

I use both the gmail app for my Google account and the stock email app for my other email adresses. Since the update to 4.3 stock the unread counter for the stock email app doesn't work as expected. When I get a new mail, the counter shows correctly 1, but when I read the mail and go back to the home screen, the unread counter still shows 1. After a long while (about 1-2 hours) the unread count updates and shows the correct number of unread mails. Restarting the Nova Launcher doesn't make the unread counter update correctly, but when I disable the unread counter in the Nova Launcher preferences and reenable it, the correct unread count is shown.

I got this issue on the stock email app only, the unread counter on the gmail app works as expected.

Is this a known issue?

Here are my hard/software specs:

Phone: Nexus 4 16GB

OS: Stock Android 4.3 with stock kernel and radio (rooted)

Nova Launcher Prime with TeslaUnread plugin

Thank you for your help and keep up the great work.

Nova Launcher transparent navbar

Hey guys,

I'm on PA 3.9 and I bought Nova Launcher Prime.

With paranoid android you can change the colours of your apps. So I tried it with Nova Launcher to make the status and the navigationbar transparent.

But my navbar is sometimes transparent, sometimes not.

Does anyone know how to fix this?
