Nova requires ICS to function, so by default, only one one device (the GNex) can run this without root. The rest of us (being the vast majority of us here I think), have to be rooted to get ICS in the first place, so it IS needed in a sense... :)

+1! Noticed the Nova process is consuming 10% of CPU even when not visible at all when it starts going crazy! Is there a way to revert to previous beta? If not this should be a mandatory feature!
[Nova Launcher] KBanause:
Wrong. The Nexus S (i9020T and i9023) already got ICS too. So there are two devices (three if you say those two Nexus S models are different devices) that have ICS without root ;)

When I want to crop a picture from gallery for using as wallpaper (for no scrolling style), i cant take the full screen in this Nova-Function. The Border for Landscape crop blocks this, but for example in GoLauncher in can do this.

May u can fix it in Nova. I dont want only small pieces from my pictures as wallpaper, i want the whole one. ;) Thx.

[Nova Launcher] coleburns:
Just came across this launcher and i have a quick question which i couldn't find an answer to.

Is there a way to have the menu settings (as dots) next to the navigation bar layout as other launchers do?

Looked through the nova settings but can't find an option anywhere

Thanks
[Nova Launcher] gabebcn:
it used to happen to me. now with xposed framework this is history. install X posed and then app settings and make nova launcher 'resident'. no more redraws.

I just updated my N7 2012 to KitKat 4.4.4 and again I noticed that the "OK Google" feature does not work when Google Search is integrated in the ROM (a system app). This also happened to me when I updated to 4.4.3 which also had Google Search integrated. But I was not 100% sure that having it integrated was causing the issue.In both cases I had to use Titanium Backup to uninstall Google Search from the ROM and install it as a user app. Once installed as a user app the feature works perfectly. Is this way it is supposed to work? If not, in a future release, can you make so that it works with Search as a system app? Thanks.
[Nova Launcher] Deadly:
are you seeing OK Google option in Google now settings? if not. set your language us English and try. it should show up then. tick it. then check OK Google settings in nova
[Nova Launcher] s3icc0:
I tried this function and from some reason it is not working for me:

- I have 4.4.4 AOSP ROM

- I have OK google enabled in Google Now

- I have OK google enabled in Nova

- I use US english throughout the phone

- I tried to place all and different search widgets on home screen

I ended up with installing Xposed module for OK google .....
[Nova Launcher] Deadly:
well it didnt work for me with some language. you could try different english versions as well to see if it will work. like English(UK). though it should have. try clearing data of nova and google search? Make a setting backup of nova before though. i would hate to redo all settings.

Since installing 4.4.2 OTA on a Galaxy mini s4 i notice the following minor issue: When status bar is set on Hide & Transparent from Nova's settings, transparency is not working. When it is set on Show & Transparent, transparency is working fine.

On android 4.2.2 it worked without any flaw. Is it something i can easily fix ? Would a factory reset / reinstallation solve the issue ?

Thanks
[Nova Launcher] tamanaco:
Yes, I'm seeing OK Google option in Google now settings and my language is set to English US. I have the option ticked on both Google Now and Nova. I have cleared the data and rebooted... Like I said, the only way it works for me is if I install Google Now as a user app.

New beta seems to have a problem with switching between tabs in drawer. I have three tabs and it when I try to switch between them it just stuck on one of them.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Have you tried restarting the launcher? I have 10 tabs, and haven't had any problems switching between them yet.
[Nova Launcher] vitoski:
Sure I tried. I even tried restating the phone and it did not help. Once I open drawer I can see the list of apps from let's say first tab and can easily browse thorough a couple of pages. Then I switch to second tab and it stucks on the list of apps from that tab. From that moment switching between tabs doesn't work - you can click on different tabs but the list of tabs don't.

I must chime in on the bug affecting app drawer tabs. They can't be accessed on the latest beta, as previously reported.
[Nova Launcher] vitoski:
They can't be accessed only if you have 'isolate tabs' option enabled. Turn it off and you will be able to easily switch between tabs.

I'm using nova prime since a long time now and I'm very pleased.

I'd just like to see two features and it would be perfect.

- blurred backround or custom picture for app drawer.

- horizontal gestures control (only possible with one home screen I guess)

If you want to get noticed, there's a feature request option on the Nova Launcher website where you can put forward/vote for the features to be implemented... Here's the link... http://feedback.novalauncher.com/forums/145180-nova-feature-requests

Can't vouch whether your features will get implemented or not... :laugh:

The best thing about Nova is that the dev visualizes his own feature set which he incorporates into the launcher...

May not make each one of us happy but this makes this launcher the smoothest and fastest around without being turned into a bloatware crap like others... ;)

Just because you found the beta laggy or have faced some bugs doesn't make this piece of software <moderated>****</moderated>!!!

You've been forewarned this is a BETA...

And judging by your post and no. of posts I don't think you know what a beta software is...

So please reserve your judgement after using a beta build next time....

As far as the backup goes, I didn't lose my backups anytime at all while switching between beta and final release builds....

NOVA = AWESOMENESS REDEFINED!!!

A nice launcher but what make me stick with Touchwiz is the flexibility to jump on certain page for app drawer. Either Nova doesn't have this or I missed the setting somehow.
[Nova Launcher] jacknicholson:
Edit!: Apologies, I had carelessly misread and failed to notice that you meant the app drawer. Score one for TouchWiz, I guess.

Either long press a blank space on your homescreen and select Nova Actions/Jump to Page, or select Nova Launcher /Jump to Page from any app that allows you to use shortcuts.
[Nova Launcher] :
Nova Settings>Drawer>Advanced>Tick Remember Position... :good:
[Nova Launcher] diaBoliQu3:
In Touchwiz, I simply click the page that I search for. In Nova, I need to browse page by page in app drawer. I'd been searching how to enable this but no result.
[Nova Launcher] !crazy:
That's not the same. But Nova has other advanced features like desktop gestures, gestures on icons/folders, dock pages, bigger grid (desktop, and drawer) size etc. which make it much more flexible and powerful than TW. It is silly to compare them.

I haven't said you are silly. Just that comparing Nova with TW is silly.

From my point of view silly is also sticking to some usage pattern and not being ready to learn, in very easy and simple way, new ways of doing things.

But that's just me. Also there are ways to access your applications with Nova in a faster, more simple way. The 'issue' is one would have to buy it, and do a bit of configuration.

I understand some people really don't have time to mess with it, but I don't expect these to ask questions in Nova thread on xda. Such people just use what they have and stick with it.
[Nova Launcher] diaBoliQu3:
:laugh: I guess he's too helpful and dedicated, and end up he's confused.

Owww. Misunderstanding... :) So far, I just set single page for app drawer. So when I want to search for certain apps, I just scroll down. I still put some hope that this feature included in next build. Expect the unexpected. :p ;p
[Nova Launcher] rycheme:
Have you thought about organizing your apps into tabs in the app drawer? I have tabs set up for general every-day apps on the first tab, media on the second, do l followed by system, travel, and personal. Ewan tab has a page or two of apps and I can switch by tapping the tab. Makes finding everything really easy.

Plus you can have folders in your tabs!

Hey guys,

I'm not a beta tester but I just want to ask, before version 3 there was an option to list "New Installed Apps" when clicked the app drawer tab. This feature has been removed on version 3, is it still not available on beta as well? How can I request this feature it was so cool that I was so sad when I noticed it was gone. On version 3, all I see is "show hidden apps" and "edit tabs" when pressed on apps tab.

[Nova Launcher] gcogger:
Is there any way to increase the icon spacing when displaying app drawer folders, or have a different app grid in a folder compared to the drawer itself? I'm using 4 columns of icons in the app drawer and when I display a folder it only uses about 70% of the screen width. It looks kind of odd, especially when the folder contains a lot of shortcuts (so it's the full height of the screen).

First of all i love this launcher, bought it, and use it since launch so here is a bug i reported a few months ago i i think is lost in the thread.

As seen on the images below on the app drawer if you swipe right most of the time the animation is not simetric, it's not a big deal but it's been there for ages.

Please fix it.

[BUG] *overflow* wakelock

Is there any news about this bug? The v3.0.2 is out but still nothing about it in the changelog.

In v3.0.1 I have this endless *overflow* wakelock too though I would like to keep the "ok google" feature. Actually the wakelock persists without reason and I hope there will be a fix soon.

About last update of the wakelock when the lockscreen is disabled. I wonder if there could be a conflict when using a lockscreen replacement (for instance CM Locker or Cover).

I'm using Jelly Bean 4.1.2 with stock ROM.
[Nova Launcher] cyberon:
As i said above, i use it since launch so i know what the overscroll effect is supposed to look like. ☺

The bug is that the effect is not simetric almost always, this same effect works flawlessly on Apex or Epic.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
It's not a bug. It is designed to do that. Maybe everyone else is missing what you are talking about but when the scroll between tabs stops you get a tilt effect. That is not a bug.

[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Your pics show exactly how it is designed. That is how it is supposed to look. You just don't like it and think it's a bug. It is not a bug. It is in the over scroll animation. Noon or not, just because it is not pleasing to you does not make it a bug.

[Nova Launcher] simon_lefisch:
When scrolling to the right the screen tilts when you come to the end. Its supposed to do that. If its something else, try taking a screen vid to show it better. Still images don't work as well. Otherwise the launcher works as its supposed to.

http://youtu.be/TA3E1SjfloE
[Nova Launcher] cyberon:
Lol you're stubborn, let me explain better.

Look at the 9GAG app icon on both screenshots, is the distance to the blue tab/line the same?

Sometimes the effect works flawlessly and sometimes it doesn't. On Apex this issue doesn't happen.

It's easy to reproduce, try on your smartphone, enter app drawer swipe right then left a few times.

Cheers.
