Found bugs in beta 4:

- An open Folder on the homescreen with many apps is partly covered by notification bar

- 3-Dots Menu-Button has wrong orientation in app drawer

- With icon size set to 130 percent, no icon captions are displayed in app drawer

- also with icon size at 130 percent, folders on homescreen are not looking good because of missing space between apps

All problems in landscape mode. I can post Screenshots if you want.
[Nova Launcher] MrKaon:
How do you guys are matching icon size with GEL?

Looks to me in GEL desktop icon size set to 110% while in draw set to 120% or even more?

Rearrange icons in the dock

I am on the latest beta (beta 4), but I am unable to rearrange the icons on the dock. I can move them out, but cannot move icons to the dock. What am I missing? I am CM 11. Thanks.
[Nova Launcher] sordna:
That's a stupid feature... You lose homescreens on the left. What's wrong with swiping from the bottom to get to Google Now?
[Nova Launcher] maxamus007:
We should atleast have the choice.

I prefer it from the left as it's already loaded up and running where as swiping in from the bottom loads the application. It's more of a short cut and not like the launcher on kit kat where it's always running on the left screen.
[Nova Launcher] sordna:

yep, I'm having that same issue since last stable and it still there in the latest beta, I think it's some kind of incompatibility with custom roms (I'm on carbon rom), I'm hoping it will be fixed on the next stable :rolleyes:

Device: Nexus 4

ROM: CM11 Nightly (20131207) - Android 4.4.1

Nova Launcher: 2.3beta4 Prime

Yesterday I installed Nova Launcher for the first time and since I liked, also purchased Prime license.

I would like to report a minor issue.

When in landscape mode, the background of the desktop buttons (back, home, recent) is not transparent.

Can anyone else please confirm?
[Nova Launcher] sordna:
Seeing the same behavior on my N4. However I'm ok with it. The stock launcher doesn't even have landscape mode :)

Let's not forget the transparent buttons / status bar are based on android APIs, and they may not support transparency for the buttons in landscape mode.
[Nova Launcher] DanielHT:
Thanks for your answer, sordna.

I know there are other priorities, but I hope the transparency in landscape can be implemented in the future.

hi

I have the nova and apex and adw launchers.

I tried the apex launcher and it worked perfectly [apex restored all the widgets and widgets's data automatically]

why?
[Nova Launcher] joudroid:
Question

Hi everyone ;)

Using a launcher make the phone faster? It frees ram or cpu? Or just makes it more customizable?
[Nova Launcher] mrdoug:
Other more knowledgeable please correct me if I am wrong...

Launchers add customization, and in Nova 's case, gives a more stock android feel.

For me, it also removes (covers up) the forced blink feed screen.

I think, and this is merely a hypothesis, it uses about the same memory between the 'memory cost' of an active Nova, minus the reduced cost for Sense UI hibernating.

Either way, it seems smooth and unimpeded on both the new HTC One as well as on my antiquated Pantech Burst.

[Nova Launcher] joudroid:
Ok, thank you, the thing is i'm using a SGS+ so maybe it will probably consume more ram and make it more laggy :s

But I will try, nothing better to experience it for myself ;)

beta 10

Is there anyway to go back to beta 9..I don't like that in beta 10 it spreads the icons out in the dock...it no longer looks like the stick launcher anyway..can you give an option to revert back in future updates or is there a way to go back to beta 9....thanks
[Nova Launcher] skywalker_67:
Just updated to beta 10: when i push the "home" button the launcher reload itself instead of showing me the "5 screens preview".

Just checked BEHAVIOUR/HOME BUTTON and it's ok.

Will try a reboot.

EDIT: just in case, a reboot fixed the problem.
[Nova Launcher] kimboinatl:
Just loaded beta 10. Everything seems to be working well. I like the option to change the margins. No obvious problems so far, but I'll keep playing around with it.

One problem I noticed before (once) was that when the launcher first loaded, the blue bar across the bottom of the screen that indicates which screen you're on might was a bit bigger at first (like the launcher thought I only had 3 screens). Once I flipped through a few screens, though, it went back to the proper size. I haven't noticed this since updating to 8.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Are you using the scrolling dock option? If so, you may have simply activated the dock indicator, which is larger, because there are only 3 dock pages. If it hasn't happened to you since, I would venture to say that's what may have happened. :)

Hello everyone. I've been using this launcher since the beginning and its been great, Up until now at least. I have a nexus s running AOKP v14 with the Eugene's icup v3 kernel, and when I updated you launched to 10 today. All my Widgets are messed up. I tried removing the app and re pushing to to system/app but nothing will fix it. I'll attach screens to show what I'm talking about. Any help would be awesome.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Wow, if your device model wasn't in your sig, I would swear you were trying to use this on an MDPI or LDPI phone... the icons are massive! Have you messed around with the LCD density at all? If so, that may be causing problems, or it could just be the way the margins are set up. Try going into Nova Settings, and tinkering around with margin width...hopefully that will solve the issue. Outside of that, I haven't got a clue. :-\

First of all thank you so much for this launcher. It's one of the first things I installed on my new GNEX and it's made a great phone even better.

I've searched through the first 15 or so pages of this thread trying to understand how to install this as a system app. I'm fairly new to installing ROMs, kernals, etc. so if someone could point me to a basic tutorial or something else that could help me out I would really appreciate it.

[Nova Launcher] kimboinatl:
You wouldn't need a new ROM or kernel for this. To install it as a system app you just need to root your phone.

Probably the easiest way to unlock your bootloader and gain root access (I did it the "hard way" and didn't use this tool, but it looks to be very easy to do):

http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...automated-wugs-galaxy-nexus-root-toolkit.html

Once you do that, install ClockworkMod Recovery for the device (this will allow you to flash the Nova launcher zip):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1392336

After that, you just need to copy the Nova launcher zip to your phone, reboot into recovery, and flash the zip. This will install it as a system app with the correct permissions.

Hi Kevin,

Can you answer on this ?

http://feedback.novalauncher.com/fo...hen-hitting-home-from-an-app-to-come-back-to-

I don't know why I am the only one who care about this lag, this is so obvious to me...

It is not an OCD 20ms lag, it is more like a 500-600ms lag which is incredibly annoying !

I changed of rom several times since I detect this lag and every time, even without restoring nova from titanium and starting fresh, I am able to reproduce it.

Regards

PS : if you see this I even "bisect" the problem so it should be quite obvious to see it using your SCM.
[Nova Launcher] Fritz Superkraut:
Ok thank you. Then I got it wrong. I thought it comes with stock 4.2.2 on lg g2

[Nova Launcher] sordna:
Ok. While you can still install Nova and enjoy its great customizations, the transparent bars rely on new APIs introduced with android KitKat. Once you upgrade to KitKat some time later, you will see the transparent bars in Nova.
[Nova Launcher] pkelly517:
I don't want to minimize your problem, but this is the first time I have ever seen this complaint.

For those that didn't click, it's a 500-600ms lag from app to home screen when you hit home (assuming that I'm reading your request correctly.).

I've NEVER had that issue. However, I've been running on nothing but Nexus devices (GN, N4, N5, N10) for the last couple years (and NOVA the day I saw it featured on Droid-Life). Maybe a little more info in your feature-request, or even a post or two here might help. Your problem seems to be an outlier. Let the community help, if it can.

As you can see at the end of the video there is a clear difference between hitting home in the drawer (instantaneous) and the previous home hitting when coming from tapatalk.

The only problem is, as you can also see in the video, the lag is also present in stock cm launcher too! And in apex...

Anyone have a v2.0 somewhere? I lost my copy... But I am pretty sure it was not present, I stayed on 2.0 6 months because of this.

Not entirely true. It depends on the ROM. I have Samsung Galaxy S3 with stock 4.3 ROM, without any modifications, and I have transparent notification bar in Nova. Because Samsung implemented it already in 4.3 ROMs.
[Nova Launcher] qu3becker:
And that's not exactly true either. Nova supports Samsung Touchwiz way of status bar transparency since they implemented it in the S4 (iirc) and no other one until recently with kit kat arrivals. Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong.

Is anyone else having capability issues with Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 running Liquid smooth v2.37? The older version works without issues but once i try to upgrade it says unable to install. Running version 4.3.1
[Nova Launcher] dmatik:
Well, like I said I have SGS3 with stock MJ9 Rom, which is Android 4.3, and I have transparent notification bar. You can't argue with facts :). I couldn't do that before when I was on 4.1.2 rom and latest Nova beta, but after upgrading to 4.3 I could with the same version of Nova beta.
[Nova Launcher] bruno_257:
Yes I can confirm this. I also have the MJ9 4.3 rom for my S3 and the transparent status bar works (If you enable it on the nova settings ofc).

Maybe its the same implementation as the S4 since the status bar is also transparent on the touchwiz launcher in the MJ9 rom.

Great launcher btw, keep up the good work!

Good job on the latest version!

However... on the Sony Xperia Z1, it's showing a semi-transparent browngreyish-tinted Navbar :'( It looks like its transparency is equal to the default Xperia launcher transparency (so only the upper half of the bar is like 35% transparent, the lower half is 0% transparent), but with a tint.

Edit: never mind! It turned out to be Xposed mod Tinted Statusbar. The Navbar is now completely transparent, thanks!!!

Google Search stopped working properly...

With the latest update of Nova Launcher (2.3) running on my Galaxy Nexus on Android 4.3, the Google Search widget has stopped working properly.

When I search for anything it says "Can't load search results." Clicking on "images" returns image results however.

EDIT: This seems to be unpredictable - sometimes I get the above message, and about 10% of the time it works. I wonder if this is an issue with Nova Launcher, with the Google Search widget, or with Google and their services themselves.

Anyone else having this issue? This has only started happening since I updated both Nova Launcher AND Google Search today. I have rebooted, pulled the battery, cleared cache and data, etc.

No. Different things. He has an HTC device, (HTC One), and blinkfeed is the far left default homescreen on HTC sense launcher. Using nova, he can avoid having to see blinkfeed at every screen unlock. (There are other ways too, I.e.change the default homescreen.)

But it's unrelated to what you're speaking of, as far as I can tell. Blinkfeed is like the flipboard app and HTC added it to their sense UI as the default homepage, a lot of people don't care for it, and by using nova, they get rid of it.

That doesn't affect lock screen. With 4.4.2, Android now has transparency with the lock screen bars and no option to turn it off. This is even without the GEL launcher installed. I have found an alternate lock screen that doesn't add itself to the home menu setting.

Thanks. Ok, these are abviously custom roms, unofficial CM11 perhaps? So I think the nova dev needs to know which exact custom ROM / ROM version is having the problem with the icons. You can only say "running 4.4.2" without further details if you refer to the stock ROM.

Widgetlocker (Kevin's other app) has been updated, and I'd assume it has Look and Feel options that will control the transparency on the lockscreen. :thumbup:

CM will continue to support the Galaxy Nexus, but all AOSP builds are either ports or (in the case of my ROM) the GNex has been manually added back to the AOSP build environment via source code. I agree though... Since the GNex is no longer officially supported in AOSP, additional information should be provided.

Hi there,

I own a LG G2 (D802) since a week. As always, I switch from Stock Launcher to Nova. Well, Nova works with my LG G2 very goog, except on thing.

In the "Seetings Menu" from the LG phone (Display, Sound, etc.) you've got the option to see list or tab view. With Stock Launcher I can switch this views without a problem and my view settings are stored.

Well, with Nova, the view is always "List View". Even when I change it, it switches immediately to list view againg after I left the seetings menu.

So I can't use the tab view. As it works with another launcher and the Stock launcher, it must be something in Nova.

Can this be checked?
