confirmed folder icon change bug fixed :)

I love the b/w effect in the app drawer when opening folders! :) didn't notice that if it was there before lol

Kevin, you may not be particularly active on this forum, but when you deliver, you seriously deliver!

Another great update making me more and more glad I don't use Apex ;)

Thanks man!!

I have a problem on my GS4. On desktop th3 statusbar is transparent but on drawer it is grey. The swich comes often too late. It is p9ssible to have the statusbar always transparent or always grey (black)?

Give us back the old folders with the size that we want.

Any way to have BIGER FOLDERS?

Now with tablets, i think it is a must.. I used desktop visualizer to create a big icon (4x4). I can use it as a shortcut for everything but NOT nova folder.. I think an upgrate for this is a must for all users.. Thanks,
[Nova Launcher] DocRambone:
1st of all: thanks for the great work on the Nova launcher.

A req: the current implementation of the transparency in the latest beta breaks themes on the S4.

It forces the statusbar to be 100% transparent even if the theme states otherwise.

The implemention do also give that the transparency manifests in some apps, where it looks ugly.

Is there a way to make this feature as a toggle?
[Nova Launcher] andrewilley:
Is there any way to make the 'long-press on desktop' feature for adding apps or widgets to a desktop use the same viewing format as the app or widget drawers? A very long alphabetical list of apps or widgets is not particularly useful, and I'd much prefer to see larger widget previews in the same way that the app/widget drawer works.

[Nova Launcher] MattyDip:
The problem is that the status bar is sometimes transparen and sometimes grey. It would nice to have it always transparent also in drawer or always grey/black.

Can we get a quick and dirty notifications on the lockscreen? Apex notifier has this feature and this launcher is so much better than that one.
[Nova Launcher] polobunny:
Pretty sure Apex just has a new DashClock extension (called Apex Notifier), so it can be replicated rather easily with other DashClock extensions freely available. What sort of notifications are you looking for primarily?

There's already unread counts on few apps (similar if not identical to Apex supported ones) with TeslaUnread.

Really cool new wallpaper/icon pack picker ! No more FC in last beta #3! Great!
[Nova Launcher] hfam95:
I have tesla unread, but Im looking primarly for miss calls, text notifications, emails on the lock screen. Tesla doesnt do that.
[Nova Launcher] polobunny:
Look into DashClock and its many available extensions then. You won't be deceived! :)

Just like Apex Notifier it needs Android 4.2+.
[Nova Launcher] hfam95:
Just what I was looking for.

I am using the latest beta on both my Galaxy Nexus and my Nexus 7 and on the Nexus 7 I noticed a bug:

On both devices I changed the color theme to red (from default blue) and while this gets fully applied on my Galaxy Nexus some folder-related UI-effects on the Nexus 7 are still blue. Here are some pictures about this issue:

http://www.evernote.com/shard/s47/s...ed73a92a1595/55fcc89398491f6fa71871c533966e21

Those blue rings are red on my Galaxy Nexus and I am using the same version and settings on both devices.

Can anyone else confirm this?
[Nova Launcher] strongsteve:
What is with this BIG RED MODIFIED APK WARNING in the settings menu when I change anything...

Is that really necessary??? Aren't you taking this "dont modify or theme my app" too far??
[Nova Launcher] TadeoNYC:
Odd. I just started using the latest beta yesterday after using the release version for months, Amazon app was auto added to home screen today, but the setting can not be found on my tab 2, my S3 is charging and the usb is loose. I'll check there later. Auto add is great because I frequently install and immediately uninstall app of the day.
[Nova Launcher] Piccles:
Are you by any chance using a "cracked" version of Nova?
[Nova Launcher] strongsteve:
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! All I do is theme it to match my rom..

I pay for my apps.. and I am sure I have brought him a lot of license buyers because I include the app in my rom..

How do I enable transparent status bar on Galaxy S4?

I just installed the latest beta on my Galaxy S4 and don't see an option to enable a transparent status bar, nor do I seem to have one. I imagine I'm just overlooking at setting somewhere. How do I enable this?
[Nova Launcher] nsnsmj:
The new wallpaper and icon selection is boss. Great work!
[Nova Launcher] Gunthermic:
Kind of crazy if a Recognized Dev would post a pix of a "cracked" version? We all know we can't do anythign to this app anymore. The dev's are going down a road of non-support from us Themers/Dev... time to relook at Apex... sheez..
[Nova Launcher] RedSkyRoad:
Not sure if anyone else is having this issue, but on my tablet I'm unable to change the app icons in the drawer. It works flawlessly on my One X but my tablet does not allow it. Is it something specific to 4.2.2? Because I have 4.2.1 on my tablet...
[Nova Launcher] MattyDip:
I hope Kevin is working on it.

[Nova Launcher] polobunny:
I don't see the big issue. You themed the APK directly, it's just warning less knowledgeable users that the APK was modified thus might not directly reflect the quality, performance or look of a non-modified APK.

Unless I'm missing something, it's just a safety net so he doesn't receive issues and complains that are not for him.
[Nova Launcher] MattyDip:
I don't think.
[Nova Launcher] psygbert:
absolutely. i also don't get all the the madness about that warning here. android is open but that doesn't mean any app should be open to any modifications too. this is a double-edged sword. this protection might also help some users that may download nova on some malicious warez sites but on the other hand, the warning will also occur if you just themed the apk. but it is just a warning telling the user that it is modified. it will not disable any functionalities of the launcher. its not a big deal. just ignore the warning.

if you don't like the warning, you can freely use something else.
[Nova Launcher] bogdan1980:
I payed for this. If they will not remove that stupid message from app in the next official version , I'm done with that. We arent on Apple here. How can an developer makes such weird decisions?

Right now I'm installing gt launcher.
[Nova Launcher] strongsteve:
Thats all well and good and us rom developers may just drop Nova.. thats true. However, we are trying to theme the apk to match the rest of the rom.. not pirate the app. To force us to look at a large glaring red warning just doesnt seem necessary or in the spirit of android. At this point, we cant decompile and we cant edit xmls or smali. That is definitely a problem for us powerusers, themers, and rom developers. Now that image editing brings on that huge glaring red warning just further frustrates us. Fortunately, I know how to create my own .9 pngs to cover that up but his efforts to thwart us modding with his apk to match the rest of our rom environment is very disheartening to say the least. Yeah.. I will gladly take my license fee back and use another launcher. We are merely attempting to change the aesthetic appearance of the interface for our own private use and we shouldnt have to be warned about it.
[Nova Launcher] Namoi:
Have you tried the xtheme engine module for xposed framework? It could do the trick has it don't involve decompiling the apk...
[Nova Launcher] tedescop:
You need Read/Write permissions. If you're using Root Explorer...you need to change the R/W grey box on the top right hand of the screen to R/O... then install the apk... and when done change back so that it shows R/W again.
[Nova Launcher] Skunk Ape1:
How do you create folders in the app drawer?
[Nova Launcher] esoomenona:
You can adjust the grid in the settings. Just change it to four by four.
[Nova Launcher] esoomenona:
The same way you do on the home screen: drag one icon on top of another.
[Nova Launcher] MrBig0:
I do not believe this is possible yet.
[Nova Launcher] AeroEchelon:
You do this and the icon drags onto the homescreen.

You cannot create folders in the app drawer.

[Nova Launcher] tjw344:
I figured out what I was trying to say. Earlier I was a bit out of it and it because I was too tired. The screen does not follow the finger as I move it. The screen moves at a slightly faster rate than my finger. Am I the only one with this issue, because I think it would feel much more polished if it moved at the same rate.

[Nova Launcher] Milamber33:
Read the second post. The dev specifically notes that he's way too busy to individually reply to every request, and that if he likes the idea, or if it's requested enough, he'll add it to the second post, along with all the other upcoming features.

This thread is nearly 100 pages long now. If the dev took the time to individually reply to every feature request, he'd have no time left to actually implement any of them. Relax, he does read this thread, if he likes your idea it will get worked on eventually.

For what it's worth though, I'll +1 the request for some sort of ability to customise the app drawer background. :)

Bug Report - home button binding forgotten

Periodically, I'll hit Home and screen previews will show up. I have home mapped to "default screen", not previews. To fix it, you have to change the home button binding to something else and back again. It happens whether the "only on default screen" button is checked or not.

I suspect it happens when the launcher is kicked out of memory and comes back in.
[Nova Launcher] Krijs:
Yeah this is my only peeve with the launcher currently. I have the home button expand notifications as I hide the notification bar, so it's a little aggravating when this occurs. I know it definitely happens when I reboot my phone. Other than that I love it!
[Nova Launcher] polobunny:
You seem personally offended as if the warning was meant at rom themers in the first place, which seems pretty obvious to me and others that it's not. I don't believe Kevin is trying to personally thwart you.

I'm one to believe those who criticize should come with an alternative answer in hand. What would you say would be a good way to warn users that they are using a modified and unsupported version without offending you or other legal buyers?

Politely asking you, I'm not looking forward to start a war of any sort, but to maybe come up with a solution that both party can agree with. =)
[Nova Launcher] psygbert:
you have a valid point and that's the other side of the sword i am talking about. but i am also seeing the reason on kevin's side. i am too, is using and compiling my own personal rom and kernel for my own personal use (and some of my few friends) but i am not theming anything so it doesn't affect me. not all rom developers/modders/power users want to theme their rom or modify compiled apks so it might not affect them. it is just unfortunate that this protection/warning is affecting some people who like to theme everything but still its just a warning that the apk has been modified (which is really true) and kevin will not support it since it is already tampered. i am not expecting all of android to be open to everything anyway. maybe, you can just discuss this matter with kevin privately?
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Everyday I get emails and crash reports from people who are using modified versions of Nova Launcher and having a bad experience. Sometimes these are pirates and they know it. Sometimes they're using a rom themed version and they /don't/ know it. Even if a themed version doesn't introduce any crashes or unexpected behavior, Android won't let users update to official updates signed by me if they're using an unofficial version signed by you.

It's obviously not possible for me to support modified versions, I don't know what has been done to the app. But users expect me to support it anyway. I need to tell them why I can't. If users understand this and want to continue using the modified version anyway, then they can do that.

I have nothing personal against rom themers or their users. But clearly there is a user experience issue here with users not knowing when they're using unofficial versions. I am interested in improving that. Showing a warning, only in the settings page, seemed unobtrusive enough for day to day use, but visible enough that users realize what's going. If you disagree and want to see an improvement to this warning then drop the entitlement and attitude and make a suggestion. If you want to act like a child and mod Nova Launcher to give users the middle finger then that's a good reason for why I need people to know that your version of Nova Launcher is not the same as mine.

Hi kevin

I'm on the last beta and I have always the issue about Margin in landscape (settings is "No margin")

and now on Galaxy Note2 with Stock Rom

look

could you have a look please ?
[Nova Launcher] Namoi:
I totally agree and it is why i suggested to themers to use xposed framework as it doesn't modify the app... So have a look guys it is worth it.

Cheers
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Sadly I've seen crash reports from that too, but not many. Hopefully it's just from the xposed devs themselves and not users. And at least that doesn't mess up updates.
[Nova Launcher] strongsteve:
Its sad that you have to "dummy proof" the world.. I guess..

but I will move on to GT Launcher.
[Nova Launcher] zelendel:
Maybe there is a middle ground here. Maybe the app can call on then system resources so it will match what themers do. Instead of using color specific coding in the app. It is just a thought and you are gonna do what is best for the app of course.

As for people complaining about it. Feel free to develop your own launcher.

Hey kevin@TeslaCoil - can you add the option of changing ICON size independently for dock/home screen/app drawer like on Apex please buddy.

Cheers, keep up the great work. Love this launcher.
[Nova Launcher] Gunthermic:
I think all you others users should let kevin speak for himself. As a themer and one that fully supports paying a dev. I too have the right to express my view wuthout all you pompous users jumping on us to express a view. I understand what kevin is trying to do. Fine leave the warning but when it was made that we cant decompile. The problem of us signing it went away. Cont decompile then we cant compile.. thus we dont sign anymore..

I agree a possible solution. Use framework coloring etc so matches theming. I alway love how user that don't do this day in and day out jump all over someone expressing a view. But are the first ones with their handout for newest rom or themed application. I am quite sure kevin likes to hear from dev as well as users. Afterall us dev/themers help him earn money...

Backoff and let kevin speak for himself..

[Nova Launcher] strongsteve:
Dont get me wrong. Kevin is obviously brilliant and Nova is my favorite launcher. However, as a themer and a rom developer, I HAVE to be able to match the text, images, and features to my rom environment as a whole. The average goofball user is going to just download and update from the market.

My users wait for me to take an update.. theme it and then odex it for my rom environment. IMHO, you shouldnt cripple a product in the interest of ignorance..
[Nova Launcher] Namoi:
It is true some heavily moded rom or mui roms doesn't play well with xposed, but as you said : a few...

And Rovo89 is very receptive for that kind of problems (except for mui as they don't provide sources).

Could be a work around for a lot of themers.
[Nova Launcher] polobunny:
Just as you, we are in right to express our views on the matter though, and kevin has already commented.

The irony is strong when you call other people pompous but repeat continually you are a source of income. No need for name calling... :/

As for you steve I wholeheartedly agree with you. I hope you guys can find a solution to theme to your heart contempt yet keep Kevin's intellectual property safe but also spare him the trouble of troubleshooting mis-adressed questions/complaints.

I myself use a few themed apps to fit my whole install better and I appreciate the work done by everyone who contributed to make my Android phone a phone I like to use.
[Nova Launcher] notmyepic:
EDIT: After reading further, my suggestion would to allow the system to determine colors. Then themers are happier and the app is smaller

I happily paid for Nova Prime because the developer of the custom ROM that I use, strongsteve, had it themed to match and also recommended it.

With Kevin being on here on XDA, it would seem to me he knows how great this community is.

With the support/followers these great developers have shown, maybe a XDA version can be developed and distributed to recognized developers. Now I do not know a lot about app developing, so this suggestion may be way off base.

Sent from Notmyepic's Odexed Blue GS3
[Nova Launcher] psygbert:
the product itself is not crippled. this product was introduced as an alternative launcher and it functions as a launcher very well. and to ensure stability of the product, a sane person will of course update it using the official copy as it is one officially supported by the author and not because he is just an average user. also, kevin has the right to protect his intellectual property on the product. i bought nova prime because of the other features not available on free version and not because i can theme or modify it. this is a launcher (with some theme support) and not a theme engine itself. anyway, we can always fork the aosp launcher source code and we can theme it all we want.
[Nova Launcher] Thomas_BA:
Well here is a new Nova Prime user. I switched as i have to assume that Holo Launcher will not be developed anymore. Any way i have a problem.

I downloaded Tesla Unread notifier plugin as i says that it works with AquaMail.

I can not find any setup in the plugin to set AquaMail (only K9, Gmail, Sony, etc.), only a point where i can choose with which email program should display "gmail emails". Done so, but i do not get any notification in the AgualMail icon in my dock, not for received gmails, hotmails, etc.

What am i missing? I am using the latest versions from Google Play
[Nova Launcher] Gunthermic:
All true. Protection I am all for. But most of you miss the point. And are drinking all his kool aid. So it dont matter. I guess steve and others like I have not right to want to suport users that scream for it all.

I am outta here as its obvious other devs cant speak their mind with normal uses jumpong all over. Just another reason dev despise users at time.

Kevin good launcher. Love it. Just dont like direction its taken... peace all..
