Is it possible to make nova launcher compatible with widgets from this addon http://d-h.st/DSx ?

They are pretty awesome, but just work with the ported launcher

Re: [APP 4.0+] Nova Launcher - 2.0.1beta3 Jan 11 2013

^this. The easiest way to resolve your issue is to simply delete the apk from /system/app, and install it from the Play Store like you normally would. No need to mess with permissions or anything else. Sometimes the easiest solution really is the best one. :)

obviously I haven't read all 844 pages so, please, excuse me if this question has already been posted and answered to.

I'm using this, let me say it, amazing launcher on my gNote 2 and I'm totally satisfied.

still, I have two questions:

• what about themes and icon packs? I've looked for icons on the play store but I was wondering if you could give me some advices about it.

• nova launcher doesn't customize at all Lock screen, does it?

thx

Nova supports go launcher and adw icon packs and you can change your color layout. Do you wish an advice? You could try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.czarnomorski.theme.dcikonz

And the lock screen can't be customized with nova, Kevin has another app called widget locker to customize your lock scren.

Re: [APP 4.0+] Nova Launcher - 2.0.1beta3 Jan 11 2013

On my mdpi device, if I set custom icon from images on my sdcard for any app on desktop, there is a very bad aliasing happening to the icon. The corners and the icon's appearance is very bad.

BUT, if I take a screenshot to show you that aliasing, it cannot be seen in the screenshot! Weird, but it really happens...! >_<

This doesn't happen only on GO LauncherEX, with every other launcher, it does.

Can you fix it dev?

I don't want to use go launcher, but I'm forced! :(

One request: Nova should now have screen borders while transition and the new 'Spin' animation from Trebuchet launcher from CyanogenMod 10.1 ;):):D

[Nova Launcher] BobbaLouie:
Wallpaper zoom issue re-appears here

I always worked around this ongoing JB issue (I think) by using "Image 2 Wallpaper" and/or another utility called "Crop Wallpaper". I'm not sure when exactly, but sometime in the last week or 2 even when using these utilities to bypass Nova's zoom it ends up zoomed. I can even switch to Apex and it changes the zoom to what I want.

The labs setting having to do with wallpaper doesn't help. Any ideas?

Searched this thread, pretty much what I expected. I had hunted down the above utilities at different times and they both seemed to fit the bill until recently.

Related: I wanted to see if this happened when I switched from Nova 2.0 to the 2 or 3 betas that have followed, can't find an apk of the stable version? http://novalauncher.com/ is returning "Internal Server Error" from my POV. Anyone have a bright idea about where I can get the 2.0 apk?

[edit] http://novalauncher.com/ only seems to be dead for me, 1 friend and http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ say it's up. No other network issues here, tried 2 different browsers. Anyone else?
[Nova Launcher] tacchan23:
As the uservoice page is never working for me (I start to wonder if it's only me), I post here my ideas:

1) make the fling movement required to go to next page shorter (on Apex I never get stuck on a page but it happens at times on Nova).

2) something like ADW launcher, enclosing the icons with a background image. Better than ADW, make the background image customizable by the users and having the option to resize the original icons and the background icon independently from each other.

Thanks :)
[Nova Launcher] BobbaLouie:
What error do you get? I was getting "Internal Server Error" from my wifi on TWC, switched phone to 3g and from that IP address it works fine, as it does for at least 1 friend. I assume the uservoice page is on the same server. It appears to be working now, but I have seen this before. There may be spammers in my IP range, who knows really.

Answering myself here, I can verify reverting from version 2 beta3 to version 2.0 stable fixed my zoom wallpaper issue that I set using the aforementioned utilities.
[Nova Launcher] killchain:
Maybe there's not many people wanting to use widgets with backgrounds or widgets that don't scale down so easy. It doesn't make this less of an issue, right?

It seems that in landscape mode, some different width and height margins get applied even if this isn't listed in the settings.

I think I've got an issue, again with 2.0.1 beta 3 on AOKP 4.2.1, I'll try to describe it in steps:

In the app drawer, go to the main tab and set it to 'All'

Drag an ungrouped app to 'Group', then go back without choosing a group

Result: the main tab is reset from 'All' to 'My apps'.

Another one I've described before and still experience after switching from stock Android to AOKP - going from an app to the homescreen almost always results in a slight lag in the first one or two swipes between screens.

^agreed... Use TiBu to delete the Nova apk that came with your ROM. Use the Play Store to install Nova again, and you should be able to update via the store or beta. Don't reinstall via TiBu... all that does is reinstall the version you're trying to get rid of.

Yes !

The bad rate (1 star) is a bro using Go Launcher (which is not supported by this icon pack)... But if you guys are using a REAL launcher it's all good :)

I'm the creator and I all is in the description but this guy obviously doesn't read it...

Actually, Go Launcher use the icon mask feature but the result is inverted between Go and other launcher.

We use an image to show /hide some default apps area :

Nova : black : hide /transparent : show,

Apex : black : hide /transparent : show,

Adw : black : hide /transparent : show,

Go : black : show /transparent :hide !

So if you support me ans you like the iconpack please reply to the guy and leave me a lil comment ;)

Absolutely love Nova Launcher. Using NL Prime on my SGS3 (4.1.1 stock/rooted), and I seem to be having a small issue.

I have some app folders on my screens, and I try to add new apps to an existing folder (ex: adding a new game to the "games" folder) and for some reason it does nothing. The new app will not appear in the folder at all.

Yet if I make a new folder and put the same apps into it and delete the old folder, I can add apps again. But once the screen becomes locked again I lose the ability to add new apps to the folder.

I'm not quite sure what the problem is, running the latest update from Google Play. And I have the same version running on my N7 and this issue doesn't happen at all.

Thoughts?

On my Galaxy Nexus, if I remove all the extra homescreens so I just have the single one that I want, organized how I want it, all the shortcuts, widgets, and content disappear from it, leaving it appearing completely blank.

If I try to add something to this blank screen, say by long pressing an app from the drawer, it shows it jumps off the screen to a page that does not exist. If I re-add another new, blank homescreen, the shortcut appears on the original populated screen that appeared blank when it was the sole screen..

(Folder Wizard does that, makes it much easier to not miss apps when categorizing.)

I wrote about the same thing a while ago. My understanding of 'Apps' is that if you choose 'My Apps', it will show apps that are not grouped and not hidden; for every other tab, you can choose 'Keep apps in main app tab' and then these will also show in 'My Apps'. As for 'All', it seems to show, well, all apps, regardless of if they are in another tab or are hidden.

The thing that's buggy, I can't have 'All' to stick to the main tab, it's always randomly resetting to 'My Apps'.
