The font Corruption is really starting to get out of hand for me. I find that I have to restart the launcher 8+ times before the fonts will stick. I've looked through the comments and only see a few people mentioning it in passing, which makes me think I may be the only one that it's happening to this frequently. Is it really just me, or is anyone else having the same level of corruption?
[Nova Launcher] p-slim:
I don't have any corruption at all. I will go days without restarting nova launcher

Hold down the screen you want to delete and drag it up to the red remove area. On the home screen settings page there is only the + sign in the upper right hand corner. But you can delete home screens as I described.
[Nova Launcher] Jet300:
OK I ran into one annoying bug... If you transition from portrait to landscape and back to portrait with a folder open the order of icons changes around and doesn't remain in the same order you left them in. Makes for an inconsistent experience in that regard.

Otherwise, performance has been wonderful! Really enjoying this launcher.
[Nova Launcher] nate_sheedy:
nova bug?

Running ARHD 6.0.1 , ics firmware 3.12.. , sebatianFM 3.0.13 kernel. With nova launcher.

I've run into a problem with random reboots after locking the phone via the power button and seconds after pressing the power/unlock button to in lock the phone again. The issue only arrived after a switch to nova launcher. Considered a full wipe and starting over with nova launcher in the beginning, but decided to hold out. The bug doesn't show up if I wait for at least ten seconds before requesting an unlock via the power button.
[Nova Launcher] Stardate Tab 10.1:

I am loving Nova! Thanks for all the hard work!

I just wanted to let you know that I am running Beta 10 on Stock 4.02 (Rooted) and I still lose the folder names when the screen rotates to landscape.
[Nova Launcher] doogoshly:
why is it in beta10 the dock's icon are all spread out? i actually preferred it being kinda compact.
[Nova Launcher] lynseyw:
Love this launcher, but this Beta 10 is a little buggy. The other ones were great. Sometimes when switching screens it the margins get messed up. Also, no folder names in landscape. Can't wait for the pro version!
[Nova Launcher] jpricesd:
This launcher just keeps getting better and better. Definite purchase when it hits the market.
[Nova Launcher] konman795:
First of all, this is an amazing project! I can't wait to purchase the full version when it's all finished. But I do hope that we get the option to adjust margins in the dock area too. I actually liked it compact but it's all spread out now after beta10.
[Nova Launcher] okdodo:
Coool, love it! Thank you for your great work and for sharing this! :)

You know, i'd buy this app, if folder view had NAME ONLY without icons.

I'd love to see just:

Could you use SimpleText for that? Or, maybe transparent icons?

Wait, are you trying to say, that i already can set PNG as folder ICON(image with textual gfx), without preview of icons inside and turn folder name off?

[Nova Launcher] jrinco11:
Having an issue here with a ATT Galaxy S2 running ShoStock rom v3.0.2 -- when I press the home button from anywhere other than my home screen, I am taken to the zoomed out view of all my different home screens (instead of the actual default homescreen).

In fact, the screen does go to the home screen for a split second, but then it pops up the zoomed out home screen selection window instead. However, if I am already on the default homescreen and press the home button, the screen quickly flashes the zoomed out homescreen selection window and then back to my default homescreen again.

any thoughts on how to fix this? (I've re-installed and re-flashed my rom, no luck)

EDIT: ah, I just changed the home button action to be the "default page" and that fixed my problem - thanks!
[Nova Launcher] jujuburi:
It was enabled! That's why I reported it :rolleyes:
[Nova Launcher] elektriiqa:
I know this may sound really stupid but it is really bugging me now.

I have set nova on transparent bar. When I unlock my phone (using stock lockscreen), the notification bar flashes black very fast and goes back to transparent. I'm not sure if I explained myself right.

Does your nova do this? Thankssssss.
[Nova Launcher] pkelly517:
Disable it.
[Nova Launcher] jujuburi:
That had been done too! There's no point in turning it off anyway, cause my phone has a transparent status bar, and I need the shadow.
[Nova Launcher] gladden237:
Native screen Off

Is there anyway we could get Nova launcher to turn the screen off through a gesture? I do not want to run an additional app to do this- both the ones I have tried have issues ("Screen Off" and "Turn Off the Screen" which were both mentioned in this thread).

It seems like this feature would be extremely useful (I'm thinking of the lg g2 here), as well as not that difficult to implement.

running verizon gnex with liquid smooth 2.5 just cuz its the smoothest rom I've ever used
[Nova Launcher] PhilipTD:
I know you said you don't want to use a 3P app, but I feel compelled to recommend GMD Gesture Control. It is my favorite app.
[Nova Launcher] elektriiqa:
Bump. Pls help.
[Nova Launcher] Michael B.N.:
I've installed Lock Screen and assigned a gesture to the app - it works without any problems for me.

best Launcher for custom rom

nova launcher is the best launcher in my pac rom, smooth and clean scroll
[Nova Launcher] PhilipTD:
Please explain.
[Nova Launcher] elektriiqa:
People now are telling me that it is normal but..

It only happens when I unlock my phone using the stock lockscreen, the notification bar flashes black fast and then goes back to transparent. This only happens in a split of a second but it is somewhat noticeable..

Have I explained myself right now? :)
[Nova Launcher] PhilipTD:
How do you make the status bar transparent with Nova?
[Nova Launcher] elektriiqa:
It is within the Nova Settings under 'Look and Feel', scroll down and you have the option for Transparent Bar. Although for this to work your phone must support this.
[Nova Launcher] PhilipTD:
Ah, thanks, I guess mine doesn't.
[Nova Launcher] elektriiqa:
If its rooted it should work.
[Nova Launcher] PhilipTD:
I'm rooted, but it's not there.
[Nova Launcher] elektriiqa:
Well that's strange because its there on mine.

[Nova Launcher] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
The transparent status bar only works on devices that have the feature enabled by default in the stock launcher, e.g. TouchWiz, as it's built-in to the OS. CM does not support this, so it will not work if you're running it, regardless of root.
[Nova Launcher] :
I have changed some icons manually. . Now every time I change a theme every icon changes exept of them.. How can I make theme auto change again? Thanks

Edit.. ok found it.. was a bit tricky I think.. :)
[Nova Launcher] elektriiqa:
What was your solution please? :D
[Nova Launcher] :
I didnt write it before , because I dont know the exactly options in English as I have Greek language. . :)

You do tha same for every icon. Choose to change it manually again but this time, from all the themes that you can choose , you choose the original icon. "internal" must be the option in English or something like that.

I still have the problem that it needs to be done for every icon you have chance manually. . It hasn't an option to do this for every icon.. Perhaps something that could be fixed. . :)

Do the S calender* widgets work?

Sent from my Galaxy Note II N7100 running Android Revolution HD
[Nova Launcher] PhilipTD:

[Nova Launcher] ylexot:
No. They require you to use the Touchwiz launcher.
[Nova Launcher] jazz5008:
Oh well.

Thanks for letting me know!
[Nova Launcher] jrinco11:
missing the s-calendar widget was the one thing that made me really hesitant to switch from TouchWiz, so I spent a long time trying to find a good replacement calendar widget and finally landed on "Jorte Calendar". It offers a month view widget which closely mimics the functionality to the s-calendar widget - perhaps you'd like it too.
[Nova Launcher] PhilipTD:
Jorte's great. Another one,

Calengoo has awesome widgets.
[Nova Launcher] ylexot:
My biggest problem with Calengoo is that I can't have two different agenda widgets (i.e. one for one set of calendars and another for a different set of calendars). When you set up the second agenda widget, the first one inherits the changes.
[Nova Launcher] elektriiqa:
Is there another app like that TeslaUnread, which shows notifications from Facebook? Stock TouchWiz could do this.. thanks!
[Nova Launcher] andreasy:
That was working with nova as well. It broke on last updates and I don't know why they don't fix it after a few updates they released
[Nova Launcher] elektriiqa:
Thanks man. Hopefully yeah, they fix it! :)
[Nova Launcher] BobbaLouie:
I think the Calengoo agenda widget is really bad, whereas Calengoo in general is awesome. I worked around this issue by using the Agenda widgets from

Android Pro Widgets

. I run 2 side by side on my tablet where one is my usual junk and the second one is the NFL schedule only.

Works out nicely.
[Nova Launcher] Braneless:
+1 for APW, which has been my favorite widget set for years. I love the calendar and bookmarks widgets.

Pure Calendar Widget is very good, too - highly customizable.

I just got APW, and am going to try it out.

EDIT: APW is awesome, thanks.

wallpaper transparency

Is there anyway with nova (prime) or android in general to set the transparency/opacity of the home screen wallpaper? A lot of wallpapers are too bright making it hard to see the icons so I would like to make the wallpaper darker. Any thoughts?
[Nova Launcher] eejee:
You can adjust a wallpaper to your liking with a photo editor.
[Nova Launcher] mlcampbe:
Yes I realize that and do that for some images by transferring to the PC and back. Is there an android photo editor you suggest that would do this?
[Nova Launcher] eejee:
The gallery itself, or picsay, or search the Play Store for others. There are many.
[Nova Launcher] leiros:
I have this problem where I cant stretch widgets to the edges, both top/bottom and left/right.

All margins are set to none.

Why is this? Even if I create a standard uccw skin and stretch it, it just wont stick.

only way is to stretch it. If its say 4x2, I have to stretch it to 4x4 to get it to snap to the left and right edges, but then it wont fit to the bottom or top.
[Nova Launcher] jerkysh:
I think there is a problem with my folders.. that's how it's supposed to be and that is how it is after some time...

Something's wrong with my phone?
[Nova Launcher] PhilipTD:
This is a known issue, which, to my knowledge, has yet to be resolved, and, which may never be done, because, as the developer has explained on Google Plus, Android has some inherent characteristic that prevents widgets from occupying the space at the very bottom of the screen.

---------- Post added at 03:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 PM ----------

Are you sure that you didn't change the size of the icons in settings?
[Nova Launcher] jerkysh:
I'm pretty sure I didn't change anything , except the theme, hate those touchwiz icons :)
[Nova Launcher] tasosl:
PLEASE make a option to do the dock icons like this attachment..icon with reflexion will be great hope to see it at the next up!!!
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I don't want to rain on your parade, but I seriously doubt that this feature will ever make it into Nova. From the beginning, Nova has been about stability, speed, and enhancement of core AOSP functions... It's never been about fancy animations or layouts. I know that ADW has the feature you're looking for, but if you want to stick with Nova, don't be too upset that it doesn't have the flash that other launchers prioritize. Again, I'm not trying to be rude...Just pointing out the realities.
[Nova Launcher] tasosl:
ok friend i was just try to give a idea..whatever i will still use NOVA to all my phones!!

i will share my homescreen:
[Nova Launcher] john_smith:
i bought many time ago this launcher but actually not use it , because i talked about a better features but i cannont find improvements since along time.really i like it but i consider that you see another launcher for performance this, please consider this options:

1. i use or have many icons, and organized on folder of drawer, not desktop, then plese give two options, a frame around he windows of folder on drawer, for better see

2. configure how many icons you want on the folder of drawer, 16 if poor for me (this have many shells) but full icons are very , puff , big density , for example, 5x5 or 5x6, depend if you use a tablet or a phone.

3. permit to redim the size of icons and widgets for create compact desktops and more creativity, how a windows 8 or buzzlauncher

4. permit to redim a border between rows and columns, for use with point 3, from 0 pixels to 3 or 4 to separate widgets..

thanks for all

and sorry for my english

Longpress and drag top the "x" at top of screen or press "remove".

[Nova Launcher] mrdoug:
Recently switched to the HTC One. Since then I've been playing with the power save configuration. Therein, I noticed it listing Nova launcher as using 21% of my battery use. This seemed high (more than even the Android system), so I checked GSam Battery and it had Nova as 2.4%.

I'm surprised. Is Nova really that big of a battery drain? Has anyone else seen and looked into this that may have some insight?

Thanks.

[Nova Launcher] Luigi_2:
Why dont you set as nova wallpaper? It has all the options there, portrait, landscape... I have 0 problem with wallpapers :highfive:
[Nova Launcher] PhilipTD:
In Nova, only one action can be assigned to a gesture, so you would have to use two separate gestures for each toggle, e.g., swipe up, wifi on, swipe down, wifi off. Since you won't find, however, such toggles under shortcuts > activities, you will need a third-party app, such as Tasker, with which you will be able to assign virtually any activity to any shortcut, including gestures. If you are into gestures, by the way, check out GMD Gesture Control.
[Nova Launcher] lordcloud1:
Don't know if anyone has brought this up. But even if they have, I'm saying it too. Just got the G2 and the bottom buttons bar isn't transparent in Nova, as they it is in the stock launcher. Can we get a modification to make this work?

BUG?

Galaxy S3 (SPH-L710). Using various TW ROMS Nova works great, but occasionally when I wake the phone the app-drawer icons are gone. The phone requires a reboot to get the icons back.
[Nova Launcher] BobbaLouie:
Doesn't affect the zoom issue in Nova.
[Nova Launcher] apoklyps3:
No offence, but I was asking the developer of Nova Launcher. I know that it's curently not possible. Was asking for it as a future feature. I'd rather not use more apps ,they eat more memory.

I checked out GMD Gesture controle and it does a good job. It's still missing Mobile Data toggle (wierd) though.
[Nova Launcher] PhilipTD:
I use Tasker with it and can do almost anything with a gesture. It's nothing short of awesome.
[Nova Launcher] hotpokets:
Isn't there such an action as TOGGLE wifi, instead of turn on/turn off?

With Tasker there is.

[Nova Launcher] TadeoNYC:
If you follow the thread you'll see Kevin rarely posts, and I understand why. What you are requesting is not part of a launcher, it is a system settings widget. If you want a launcher that includes widgets look elsewhere.

By your own admission, such functionality requires more memory, so why add a feature to the launcher that will make it more bloated if it is not actually a function of a launcher?

People answer on behalf of Kevin because that is the only answer they are going to get. Do you think he has time to respond to every person who wants a transparent status bar, but doesn't want to use Xposed? Or even know what Xposed is?
[Nova Launcher] Kidd_Funkadelic:
Hoping someone can help me, since I tried emailing Kevin and got an auto-response that he's on paternity leave for awhile...

I've been using Kaiten for my email (w/ two accounts - gmail and a work acct both via IMAP). At some point months ago I had configured the unread count badge to display on the Kaiten app. I'd now like it to appear on the gmail app now rather than the Kaiten app but can't figure out how to do so.

In the settings: Nova->Unread Counts->Tesla Unread Settings: I've only ever had Gmail set to On (plus sms/missed calls), and selecting Gmail in this menu, "Inbox" is selected.

How do I get the unread badge to show up on the gmail app? I think in earlier versions you could specify an app directly but now can't.

Thanks.
[Nova Launcher] mrdoug:
Never mind, read your post too quick.

So, in the tesla plug in app (separate from nova) Gmail is set on, with inbox checked in the details? That works for me... odd. Mind you, since the last update it misses maybe 20% of them.
