[Nova Launcher] EternalFlame:
Hellou there,

I love the launcher don´t get me wrong, i use it since i used android for the first time a long time ago, never ever switched to another one, a few to test things out but nova is superior in every way, but since material update... custom animations stutter sometimes and this makes me sick, my favorite animations (jelly bean app opening animation and circle app drawer animation ) stutter way too much... how can i fix this? i want my smooth nova launcher experience back :(

Anybody got the same issues? Thanks in advance for suggestions and sorry for flaming but i need total smoothness everywhere on my phone uaaagh :silly:
[Nova Launcher] crakedparrot:
Must be your device, mind runs smooth as silk
[Nova Launcher] EternalFlame:
Hmmm a LG G3 should do or ? :p

I already got rid of the Stock ROM and flashed Euphoria OS with custom Kernel and recommended settings, everything is smooth as * except nova... strange :<

One awkward question... My brother in law just purchased Nova Prime via PayPal for me. While purchasing brother in law add note for which email address the license should be created, but by default he got key for his buying PayPal email address. I already mailed the developer almost 8 hours gone but no reply. I have not used the code yet. Seniors what should I do now.
[Nova Launcher] wase4711:
buy it yourself; you'll never get the license "transferred""
[Nova Launcher] picklu:
Having issues with purchasing in BD that's why brother in law purchased it from abroad via PayPal. In mail they gave authorized email add and code. And gave instructions like that 'From Nova Launcher go to Settings > Nova Launcher Prime > Enter Code' in that section email and code section is given. I have not tried putting that code yet.
[Nova Launcher] crakedparrot:
The answer is simple... Nevermind, I haven't a clue.
[Nova Launcher] picklu:
Really confused what should I do! Seniors plz suggest...
[Nova Launcher] kingvortex:
I would imagine that you enter the authorised email and code in the correct fields.

The email field is probably there because some people have a different email address for their PayPal and Google accounts.

Just try it. :)
[Nova Launcher] EternalFlame:
8 hours? Have some more patience please there are a thousand problems and questions Developers with awesome Apps have to deal with... ;)

Back to my animation stutter problem, i found out i was mostly caused due to Xposed and too "weak" GPU governors, looks like i got it fixed for now so just ignore my flaming Dev :D :good:
[Nova Launcher] picklu:
Yap I also think the same... I was going to try that, hope that will work as that is valid reason. I will try that after 24 hours of my mail to developer :)

---------- Post added at 02:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 AM ----------

hmm hope 24 hours will be a good enough for this awesome app developer!
[Nova Launcher] picklu:
UPDATE: got the reply from the support and they have issued a license key as on purchase note! Great customer support from an awesome app! :D thanks all of you for your reply :)
[Nova Launcher] crakedparrot:
Glad I could help:p

Very good launcher, use it for a long time. I like :)

About the ram used

Is the nova launcher works together with the system launcher ?

In terms of RAM in use of the device ..

or it stop the system launcher and the system use only the nova launcher RAM...
[Nova Launcher] enban:
You use only one launcher at the same time, Nova or... the stock one that comes with your phone. Nevertheless, the latter stays in memory, so maybe if you want (and if you know how to do it, maybe you need root) you can freeze the stock launcher, to save a bit of memory.
[Nova Launcher] shaygam22:
thanks...

it's very good launcher.
[Nova Launcher] Joshmccullough:
I wholeheartedly agree, and we apparently aren't the only ones; good review/write-up here:

Please add an option for a blurry app drawer card backgroun. Would look great.
[Nova Launcher] _Sofos_:
I'd love to see that feature as well but sadly he has already answered (2 years ago tho) that such an option would make the launcher kinda laggy plus it would probably consume a huge amount of ram so.. the answer was no.
[Nova Launcher] namquang93:
Looking forward to the the verticle app drawer, like in Android M.
[Nova Launcher] scottjb:
This launcher has always had a vertical app drawer.
[Nova Launcher] namquang93:
I have just found it :D but it's a bit different from android m that does not have the first character indicator in the left bar.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Android m isn't official yet. If they change it to horizontal scroll will you be back here asking for horizontal scroll? What's the fascination with the newest pure android crap people have? I don't get it, i use Nova because it is NOTHING like the android m launcher, NOTHING like android l launcher. If you want that look and feel, just install that launcher...
[Nova Launcher] scottjb:
The second preview of Android M does not have the first letter any more. It just scrolls vertically, similar to Nova. We don't know what the final version will look like yet.
[Nova Launcher] n756gkj:
'Home' button jump-to-default action also causes Dock to jump - to *2nd* dock page?

I've set the 'Home' button to jump to the Nova 'default' page. Works as expected.

But, it also causes the Dock to arbitrarily jump to the *2nd* dock-page, not the 1st/default/home.

How do you either

(1) set the default dock-page that's jumped to,

or

(2) prevent the dock jump altogether

?
[Nova Launcher] crakedparrot:
Place all the icons you want as the default (jump to) on the dock that it jumps to.

Third grade critical thinking.
[Nova Launcher] n756gkj:

Anyone else having issues with their facebook messenger bubbles not showing up?
[Nova Launcher] cas239:
Experiencing a few issues on the latest beta (Actually have had these issues for a few of latest releases)

Verizon Galaxy Note 4. Android 5.0.1

1: If I go into my running apps and select clear all, it defaults Nova to my home page, as it always has, but causes the wallpaper to glitch when I then swipe either left or right.

2: When I select and hold an app from the app drawer, the options for uninstall/app info/edit don't appear at the top of the screen. I have to go to Nova settings and restart Nova for them to appear. Then after a bit of time, it they will disappear again.

3: Every now and again my dock, which I have swipe up to show dock, will show the a random dock, not the one I have preset as my "home" dock. A swipe to the left or the right glitches the dock and then resets to the home dock

4: Last, every now and again, the bottom of the wallpaper on all screens will go black. Approximately the bottom half inch of the screen. Restarting Nova does nothing. I have to reboot the phone to fix the wallpaper
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
The links in the OP have always been current. I imagine the problem comes from using an old version in your downloads folder. Don't do that.
[Nova Launcher] wayneb02:
can the notification bar be hidden with nova? ive looked everywhere. usually the thing u are looking for is right in your face so sorry if it is obviously stated somewhere

edit: never mind just read it lol, right in front of me like i said
[Nova Launcher] Guardsix:
Kevin...thanks for a great ICS launcher experience. I was kind of disappointed with my brand new Samsung Galaxy Nexus because it came with only 5 home screens. Then I found Nova Launcher and now I'm just as happy with my GNex as can be. You have been so reasonable and understanding in building and adapting your launcher to a ton of suggestions. You are also extremely fast in responding and making updates. Keep it up and we'll make you rich, well, maybe richer! Again, thanks.

Beta 12 working good so far

[Nova Launcher] the1dynasty:
^^that... can't say i notice a change in the speed much as far as screen transition... it still is a bit fast... but i never had a complaint about that so i'm ok with 12 :)
[Nova Launcher] niteh@wk:
I'm experiencing the zoomed wallpaper issue for the first time with Beta 10. I updated to Beta 12 and it still occurred. Not sure what's causing it. Anyone experienced this same issue?

Normal wallpaper

Zoomed wallpaper
[Nova Launcher] Dnewbrough:
I'm getting a force close after a install beta 12, its fine till i reboot then a force close loop. Ive tried wipping davlik and fixing permissions, neither help at all. any have any ideas?
[Nova Launcher] chiph411:
Received notice tonight for Beta 12 update, downloaded and installed, no problems, works great.

Thanks,

Chip
[Nova Launcher] kimboinatl:
Using beta 12 now with no problems so far!

I think I know what causes the font in the widgets/screens to get scrambled. It always seems to happen when my phone is really busy doing something. For example, it often happens if I try to switch between screens too soon after starting up my phone, when it's still starting up various processes.
[Nova Launcher] aLNG:
great launcher..no prob so far
[Nova Launcher] jordant2:
Have only been using this launcher for one day and I've switched through a million wallpapers and I haven't had this issue. This launcher gives me the feel of ICS yet just a few extra options I was looking for such as custom icons and adjustable grid! Love it so far.
[Nova Launcher] Jaevlar:
Snappy launcher! Really like the custom icon feature thats built in. :)
[Nova Launcher] Nordpolcamper:
Thanks Kevin ;) Beta 12 fixed my problems^^
[Nova Launcher] ItzMeJoey:
Excellent job! You've addressed every one of my gripes with the stock launcher, and then some. Will definitely purchase a pro version, if one is ever released. Keep up the good work.
[Nova Launcher] datsyuk:
Amazing launcher.

Anyone notice a little lag when opening the app tray after exiting an app? Ex. Browser -> home button -> app tray.
[Nova Launcher] Ejedias:
If I have this installed as a system app and I'm downloading beta12 update now will it still be a system app or will I have to move it?
[Nova Launcher] datsyuk:
When I updated its a system app still.

[Nova Launcher] AmirAli44:
I still get the parse error when downloading package...

And it would be awsome if the thing up at the right corner in app meny would be shortcut to market like stock...
[Nova Launcher] cenonmin:
Great Launcher, one thing I can suggest to make it complete is to add "Gesture" for each Icon on the Dock like GO Launcher. Found this very useful, some examples:

- Icon on dock Dialer, swiping up gesture on the icon launches Contacts

- Icon on dock Camera, swiping up gesture on the icon launches Gallery

Hope you take my suggestion into consideration.

Thank you for a great launcher :)
[Nova Launcher] Sott:
Sorry but I have to quote myself because this bug or glitch or whatever it is is still present after months. Please gives a look and tries to solve it, because it's very annoying.

Thank you.
[Nova Launcher] nIGhT-SoN:
I don't think your bug has to do with Nova Launcher, after all it doesn't change the app switcher in any way.
[Nova Launcher] voythas:
One of best launchers ever. I only wish it had vertical scrolling paged. But great work anyway!
[Nova Launcher] bmtdan:
It does this if you have your status bar hidden. Had me confused for a good year lol
[Nova Launcher] ArtieQ:
It has worked without the statusbar since like last week, did Facebook or Nova make an update? I'm using cataclysm rom + immersive mode, so my statusbar and softkeys dissapear after a second.
[Nova Launcher] bmtdan:
Not sure honestly, it was always using Nova to hide my status bar that caused my facebook chat heads to not show. Kevin may have fixed that in Nova but I haven't really followed.

I'd be willing to bet it has something to do with immersive mode if it's not being caused by Nova.

I'm using Paranoid Android, which also has immersive mode so I'll test and see what I can figure out and I'll reply again.
[Nova Launcher] andrewilley:
Yes, I have the same problem, no counts on either the Facebook or Messenger icons.

Works fine for phone, What's App, SMS Messages, AquaMail though.

I have notification bar enabled, but I don't normally use it for Facebook (but it doesn't seem to make any difference to the icon count either way).

[Nova Launcher] panos_ts:
Hi everyone!

Search is down (can't use it), but I looked at the past few pages, and found nothing about my question.

Every time I choose a wallpaper, for some reason, the wallpaper quality is significantly lower than the original quality of the image itself. I think that happened when nova launcher upgraded to version 4.x, but I am not so sure about that. Is there any way to fix this quality issue?

Sorry if this has been answered before, but as I said, search engine is down on xda.
[Nova Launcher] Hdhntr23:
Hey everyone I have a couple of questions...

First in my app drawer I have a couple of folders inside other folders. Sometimes the app icons show normally, granted very small like but still show. Other times they show up as green Android Icons. (as in the actual Android robot icon) Any ideas how I can force Nova to always show the normal icons?

I am on Verizon Samsung GS4 and it happens on both JB and KK. Im running Hyperdrive ROM and I was on RLS 14 (JB) and now I am on RLS21 (KK).

One of my favorite features of Nova is the folders in the app drawer and the ability to put apps in multiple folders but sometimes I want an entire list of ALL of my apps Vs. having to go into each folder etc. Is there a way for me to see the list of apps I have and edit them from that list?

Last question, is there a way to theme the stock buttons supplied with Nova? For example in my dock I have 4 folders for shortcuts and an "apps" button in the middle. Its the big white button with 6 dots in it. Im wondering if I can change the colors from white and grey to something else?

Thanks in advance!
[Nova Launcher] GuiPoM:
How could I report a bug. Is this place the right place ? I tried google plus but I am not sure my message has been noticed: https://plus.google.com/u/0/113778723675523778813/posts/YRNZ38irki2?cfem=1

My issue is a rendering issue while in landscape: first of all, top right and corner, I should have google play + 3 dots (more options), as in portrait mode, but the three dots are not visible. Then transparency for software buttons on the right is not active. Finally, on the left there are some icons from another tab that are displaying on top of the current ones (left because this is my first tab in app drawer, it could be left or right). Animation transition is zoom.

Read the op, there is a website for Teslacoil for reporting bugs, newest updates, betas, and contact info.
[Nova Launcher] a567765:
Great launcher, best of that king on android, I think. I'm using it for quite a lot time instead of default one because of this excellent feature to pan home screen in a landscape mode on every device. Tnx))
[Nova Launcher] GuiPoM:
Where exactly ? I know the website http://novalauncher.com/, the g+ community, github, but I can't find any place for bugs ! So if it exits, can you point me out to this area ?
[Nova Launcher] scottjb:
I usually use the contact information from the Play Store, which in this case is support AT teslacoilsw DOT com.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I'd suggest posting in the Nova Launcher G+ thread. Kevin reads those. He may or may not respond, but he'll certainly see the post if you direct it specifically to him.

This xda thread has been useless for bug reports for a while now. There's simply too much junk here for Kevin to sift through.
[Nova Launcher] GuiPoM:
Ok. This was the initial question, as I already posted to g+ and (I think) my bug report was not noticed.

I will try to send a direct message to Kevin, if by change he can read his messages !

[Nova Launcher] SyCoREAPER:
There is no dedicated thread so posting here since it ties in.

Unread count is (at least for my Phone) incorrectly reading unread counts. It is putting a number on both the contacts icon as well as the Phone icon. Additionally, no count at all for Google Voice.

This whole "Allow Nova to create Shortcut" thing needs to go away. Apparently Nova can remember all settings after a back/restore except that one!

So Voice works now, I toggled it and the prompt came up.

Phone is still not showing missed calls.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Do you have apps loaded onto your sdcard? If so that is most likely why you see android andy instead of icons. Longpress on the app drawer icon and you will get a popup to edit the icon. You can choose an image from your gallery or use an icon from an icon pack. Only other way would be to theme nova yourself and recolor whatever images you want changed.
[Nova Launcher] AndrOmega:
i have a folder with 500 games inside and nova launcher crashes when opening widgets page. i think is out of memory .

advices please ! :)
[Nova Launcher] EternalFlame:
Hmm you play 500 games ? Wth ! :p

- De-install what you don´t really use.

- Get a phone with more RAM?

- Or a Gaming PC instead ? :p

Nah man, don´t know, 500 games are just too much and unnecessary somehow... you got internet access on your phone i guess... download what you need when you need it.

Cheers.
[Nova Launcher] sensei_sai:
Hi all!

I'm using paid Nova Launcher, and since a couple of mounths, I'm facing a strange behavior with my custom icons.

I'm changing all the icons in the drawer and the desktop with icons I've made. I change them manually, one by one, as I don't know how to build an iconset.

The point is, everytime an app is updated, its icon is resetted to stock one. This I can understand, even if its a pain...

But the Nova settings icon, the google setting one, and the stock messaging one are resetted randomly, and I can't understand why.

So is it a normal behavior in Nova, and is there a way to avoid icons to be resetted?

Thanks for your help.
[Nova Launcher] brittaan:
I doubt that he has 500 games. That would be like 5-10GB of just games
[Nova Launcher] AndrOmega:
494 games more precise. majority of them are small games (20-50 mb).

i reseted nova launcher to default settings and all good. i have 3 gigs ram so its not device fault.

i demand from developer to increase memory usage of this launcher.

I do with the 3.x 'show hidden apps' toggle top left hidden menu was back. I use it to tokenly hide things like banking and photo apps from people who use my phone, just to keep it clean and out of sight for the apps I don't use often, too. It's a pita having to go through the menu every time to see hidden apps, but the functionality of 3.x was perfect.

Hi all!

First of all sorry if the answer to my problem has already been discussed.....I searched into the thread but didn't find the solution to my problem.

On both new Letv phones x600 and x800 (first with mediatek and second one with qualcomm) the Nova launcher has FC when entering into Nova settings.

The most annoying things is that I'm not able to capture any log!

I did a check on the previous versions of Nova and this is the status:

- Nova launcher ver 3 works ok

- Nova launcher 4 materinova.28-39028-minAPI16.apk still ok

- From materinova.29-39029-minAPI16.apk and further versions, always Nova settings FC

Any clue?

Already tried to change dpi but didn't help!

Thanks again!

Hi there,

I'm facing a problem for a while now with Nova Launcher Prime. Sometimes but not always, when I click on the application folder that I made on the homescreen, instead of opening it, Nova juste launch another application. Weeks ago it was randomly opening Foldersync, right now it's opening Google Drive application. It only appens on my Xperia Z3C. Not on my Nexus 9.

Is this problem known ?

Thanks,

[Nova Launcher] supermaxkato:
dock background issue...

Kevin,

Is there a way to select a dock background without cropping it?

Because the nova crop tool doesn’t allow me to select the entire image, and so it always distorts it.

*Yes I know you can switch to free form, but even then it doesn't let the dot sliders move all the way to the edge of the image.

Perhaps it could be done by editing a settings XML file, or even included in your next beta release?

Please let me know, and thanks for making the best android launcher available!
