When I press the home button sometimes (too many times) all my widgets and icons flash like they all just refreshed. Does this happen to anyone else? I do have a lot of widgets on 7 screens, but it's because I thought this phone could handle it.

I've overclocked it and uc'd thinking it might help but it still does it. Do i need to wipe everything?

I have a request too. BIGGER icon sizes! I guess many want that feature. If a phone has lower dpi on a 1080p display icons are really tiny even on 130%.

I am building my own rom and have everything slimmed down to what i want but i do not know where to find the REPO for nova launcher. Does anyone know?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Nova isn't open source, so there's no repo unfortunately. You should be able to just drop it in /system/app, set the proper permissions, and be good.

If you decompile the apk though, I think you'll end up with some kind of red warming message in Nova Settings (I haven't seen an image of it in a while). It might be annoying, but Kevin added that "feature" as a deterrent against theft. Just wanted to make you aware before you jump into modifying the app on any level.

I've 150x150 resolution PNG icons, when I set it as one of the app icons in Nova, the corners of the icon is black? How do I fix this?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I completely understand. I build for Hammerhead, and found out the hard way that the AOSP structure has been changed pretty drastically. Missing libs and binaries for simple things like cellular data, basic apps like Google Play, require editing of mk files, which is a PITA. Couple that with a lack of source code for the launcher's key features (ok Google and the Google Now screen), and I was also left searching for a way to remove Launcher3 and replace it with Nova.

I suppose you *might* be able to add Nova to the vendor/goggle folder, and tell the mk file to override Launcher3 in favor of Nova, but I haven't tried yet. In theory, Launcher3 would still be built, but it would subsequently be deleted and replaced by the Nova apk once the build completes.
[Nova Launcher] zelendel:
Look to slim ROMs. They have nova as the default launcher when built.

Can someone help me please, I've 150x150 resolution PNG transparent icons, when I set it as app icons in Nova, the corners of the icon is black? How do I fix this?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
You can try editing the icons themselves with a program like Gimp. Just color the corners to transparent, and those black corners should be gone.

Hi, no more update? I have already send you many mails with bug to fix and features to add, but no answers.

The software is perfect? No more bug to fix? Is it the first perfect code of ever?

I paid for this, me like many other. Paid money, not bananas. Awful behavior by your. Awful. No one answer in months, no one. Really awful for all paid users like me.

Wait an asnwer for you. Or a refund.

[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Read Google's terms of service and developer requirements. It's clearly stated that when you buy apps, you're agreeing to the purchase of a "product" as-is, with no guarantee of updates. It also clearly states that it is up to the developer's discretion, regarding what level of user support they want to provide. So in a nutshell...Kevin doesn't owe you (or any of us) anything, least of all, a refund, because we are NOT customers in a traditional sense.

Also, in the spirit of being fair to you, I want to remind you that Kevin just recently welcomed a baby to his family, so it may not be that Kevin is ignoring anyone...he may simply have changed his priorities a bit, and he'll get back to development when HE feels it's appropriate. Kevin has always been good at addressing user issues, despite the fact that he never posts here any more. For the time being, I think it's unfair to ask him to set app development as a priority over his family. Please try to be patient and understanding.

Ok, good deal. How are you pushing the icons to your device? Are you using you computer to put them on your SD, or are you working strictly from your phone? If you're doing what I just did (simply saved your icon with Tapatalk), this is probably what you'll see...

I did recognize that the edges of the Icon were cropped, but I use a 5x7 desktop. When switching to 5x5, the edges were fine, but I still had the white border.

Hello everyone :)

I have nova launcher 2.3, but when I apply an icon pack for example the icons don't sticky for a while... :(

Basically, icons, layouts, always change... I've tried backing up, but that only helps when the layouts or icons change and then I just apply the backup to get everything right again... Can you guys tell what's wrong? :(
[Nova Launcher] mrdoug:
There is a 'tab' for viewing only downside loaded apps in the tray. Unfortunately, there is no sort or search.

I've almost requested a search function (like a dozen times) but the problem arises (for me) if I can't recall the app name, what criteria am I going to search for?

In lieu of search, I've found changing the name of the app helps. In example, TuneIn Radio pro on my phone is now 'radio - Internet', and the HTC's fm radio is 'radio - fm'. Always find those, now. ?

I created many tabs in the app drawer to categorize apps. If you create tabs for Radio, Games, Video, Browsers, Tools, etc etc it makes it easy to find apps even if you don't remember how an app is named.

hi there

I use Nova Launcher since years and I love it. Since I switched to my Samsung Galaxy Notes 3 LTE with DPI 289 I am experiencing a strange behaviour that didn't occure (in my oppinion hehe) before.

Every time I triy to enter my application view I press on the button which is placed in the dock at the bottom of my screen. Sometime it works directly but most of the time the icon swipes a little bit upward and the nova launcher settings are shown instead of the application list. Is there a way to deactive this swipe feature? I allready took a very close look at the settings but couldn't find anything regard this hidden "show the nova launcher setting" swipe feature.

Could you please advise how to deactivate it? :)

Thx a lot

best regards,

Dom

Hi Bill Gamble

Home_Button is set to Default Screen and swipe up is set to whatsapp.

I was not able to find a specific swipe up gesture for the App Drawer...

thx a lot

[Nova Launcher] sordna:
Try to long-press the app drawer button (or whatever button you want to modify), release, and hit edit. It will show "Swipe action" and you can reassign it or disable it .

Personally I love the swipe gestures and use them on many of my desktop icons.

Hey sordna

Thx so much for this hint. I even found the reason why I was not able to find this setting on my own. I used to lock my view to prevent the move of icons and on locked view the edit aand remove button for the app drawer did not pop-up.

Thx again

Best regards

[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
It can't use MIUI themes themselves, but it does have a serviceable theme engine built in, that will change icons and stuff. And yes, you could certainly use Nova without an app drawer... Just make sure the app drawer icon is the last one you remove from the home screen, and that you have all the apps you want, located on your screens already.

If you really want a true MIUI experience though, they have released the launcher for free on the Play Store.

Nova is just an apk... You should be able to decompile it, as long as you have the appropriate and up to date tools. Old versions of apktool aren't going to work, because they're not made for API level 19.

In the app drawer, If you click on the tab 'APPS' in the upper left corner, a drop down menu should appear. One of the options, at the top I believe, is ALL. In that view you will see both hidden and shown apps.

Hello everybody,

I noticed Nova Laucher can be optionally used in landscape mode, which is great when charging but a bit annoying during normal use.

I was wondering if there's a way (a tweak, an app, maybe a XPosed module) which allows the launcher to turn to landscape mode only when charging. I bet there is something there, I just was not able to find it!

Thank you so much
[Nova Launcher] ylexot:
You should be able to do that with Tasker. Set a trigger for power connected with a task to turn rotation on. Then have an exit task to turn rotation off.
[Nova Launcher] Hobbygamer27:
Due to that the dev is not allowing PMs I gonna ask here again.

Is there any plan to make a free app sorting available in app drawer like in TW, LG's or Sony's Stock Launchers?

Enviado por Tapatalk / Gesendet mit Tapatalk / Sent with Tapatalk
[Nova Launcher] ilsecondodasinistra:
Thank you for answering.

This sounds great but with tasker I can - as long as I can see - set system settings but not Nova Launcher settings. The "rotate launcher" setting is in Nova Launcher options, not in system ones. I don't want to enable-disable rotation for all apps, I want just the launcher to be rotation-aware when I plug the phone, because I often let it charge on my homemade support. While in everyday use I like the "apps rotate - launcher does not" default.

Thank you for any further idea
[Nova Launcher] killchain:
Any word on a new version or something? I know Kevin's taking some kind of a break, but still. I emailed him two or three months ago already, but got no response.

My biggest complaint right now is that when I try to apply an icon to a folder, I have to specifically choose it from the icon pack so that it matches the other icons. Before, I could just choose an app icon (e.g. Google Search) and it would apply Google Search's icon from the currently active icon pack. Now it applies the stock icon even though there's an active [non-stock] icon pack.

For those fearing the Kevin have dropped support forever:

Fancy Widgets which had no update since 2012 just released an update last week. Don't predict an App is dead unless the dev says so. I am very happy with Nova(Prime) and will stay with it as long as it is the best option for me, just like I stayed with Fancy Widgets for the past 2 years.
[Nova Launcher] aeroman:
that really makes renewed hope that continues development. :good:

from the other side, the current version is still very good & still makes so much fun. [emoji41]

Quick question - is there a shortcut to quickly go to a "page" of the app drawer? For example, my app drawer is 8 pages long. Is there a way to go directly to Page 6, instead of swiping 5 times?

Yep long press home screen>nova actions>jump to page. :)

I meant in the app drawer - that shortcut seems to be only for the home screen. I know some launchers have dots or lines at the bottom, so you can go directly to a page in the drawer. I can't seem to find any options like that in Nova.

Question

Question: On my HTC One M8, If I have too many icons in a folder, some icons will partially disappear and only be visible partly at the sides of the screen. Is this a known problem?

Is there a way to enable scrolling within folders?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Folders should automatically scroll when you have more than a certain amount in them. They'll expand first, but when you've reached the limit (I think it's 16), scrolling should automatically kick in.

Edit: the limit appears to be 20 icons before scrolling enables.

Initial view (icons are cut off at the bottom):

[Nova Launcher] jacknicholson:
It's happened to me, on the rare occasion. My wild guess would be that it's simply an unintended result of Nova getting killed out of memory, and having difficulty restoring widgets. Just remove and recreate the widget in question. (Or if you're using something like Zooper --which is the only widget where I've seen this behavior, it'll only take a moment to go in the app and restore a backup of your current setup.)
[Nova Launcher] Thyco:
Tried readding it. Doesn't make a difference. I tried the stock google launcher from nexus 5 and there the widget gets the normal size.
[Nova Launcher] sordna:
Wallpaper scrolls fine for me. Even live wallpapers I got from the play store scroll as I move around my home screens.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Wallpaper scrolling has to be enabled in Nova Settings.. It's located under the Desktop tab. Outside of that, scrolling is kind of wallpaper dependent. Some walls will scroll, because they're properly sized, and other won't scroll because the system won't allow them to. Quick question though... If you open your Gallery

app and select an image you'd like to use as a wallpaper (use the Set Nova Wallpaper option), what do you see? Is it the same as the image below?
[Nova Launcher] khaytsus:
Shut up. Seriously. All you do is whine for updates and look for ways to get snarky.

If Nova somehow isn't meeting your needs; find something else that does. And I feel sorry for them, because then you'll be whining at them incessantly.
[Nova Launcher] hachel:
Hi, I have wp-scrolling enabled in the settings. I think I've found my error. I set some image as wallpaper albeit with "portrait-mode" and not "full". Then I switched to the muzei-app for my wallpaper and it kind of uses the same settings (portrait) as nova before, though with out indicating that it does. I thought it would have used its own settings instead of using novas.

So thanks a lot, your tip with full-mode helped!

Would installing a different kernel like Franco or elemental help? I'm running stock now.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Installing a kernel settings app first might help out. The stock kernel has MPdecision hotplugging enabled, and it's terrible. The lag you're experiencing may simply be the result of the phone not performing tasks quickly enough as a result. Disable it and see what happens... Also, raise the read ahead buffer to either 1024 or 512. If you do go with a custom kernel however, I highly recommend Franco.
[Nova Launcher] niteh@wk:
I'm also running Nova on my N5. I do not notice any difference in opening the recent apps with GEL and Nova. Do you happen to have some high CPU hogging process/app running at the time you tested the recent apps in Nova? Nova is far more superior than GEL. Only thing Nova missing is the always on Google Now "Ok, Google" command. I am running AOKP ROM, Elemental kernel.

I just made an account to put this out there, please add custom ordering for apps in drawer.

There are 4793 votes (added the first two and fifth threads together) on the feedback page of novalauncher to manually order the apps in drawer, and another 864 votes to add other options for ordering the apps in drawer. The first thread was even started in 2012.

Novalauncher is one of the best apps out there, but not being able to manually order your apps makes it really un-userfriendly (imho). I'd really love to see this feature added.

You could always try to clear the app data or reinstalling the app if that doesn't work.
