[Nova Launcher] Finalreminder:
Totally transforms the B92M Star (aka HDC Galaxy SIII).

My mate showed me Nova as the B92M comes with a Chinese search engine thing on the top row. You can disable the search but you lose the top row...you can't put icons on there.

So I installed Nova and now it has a better GUI than my Samsung Galaxy SIII.

Swipe to screenshot like the Galaxy SIII would be nice. Not sure if that's a hardware restriction though.

There is an issue I've seen on two HTC One (M7) where the wallpaper goes black every time after unlocking lock screen only to return when going in and out of an app.

Anyone have any solution to this?

Hi.

After a 1 month using touchwiz of my new phone i decided to go back to nova launcher.

But accuweather widget is messed up, like you see on the 1st picture.

At first i thought it was accuweather problem, but widgets from this program look alright on apex and touchwiz (2nd picture).

I tried to change some settings but didn't work.

How to solve this?

Thanks

Tablet Scroll - Blue Borders

is there a way to remove the blue borders on "tablet scroll effect'? cannot see one there, but im prone to having a mans look.

other than that this launcher has made my S4 look much nicer (like my nexus 7)
[Nova Launcher] slowdyve:
No, it's not that.
[Nova Launcher] SYRE123:
First of I wanna say thank you for an awesome launcher!

Now to my question/problem. I was running Nova on my Galaxy S2 and now on my Galaxy S4. One of my favourite features is the gesture "Expand notification". I really like that you don't have to move your finger or thumb all the way up to the top of the screen. But since my upgrade to Galaxy S4 it seems to work a little bit different.

On the S4 I have to make the notification bar visible to be able to expand the notifications. I really like to hide my notification bar, and now I have to first do the gesture to "Toggle notification bar" or do the "Expand notification" gesture twice to actually expand it.

It might nog be the biggest problem in the world, but I would really like it if it could work as it did on the S2 :)

Thanks in advance!
[Nova Launcher] sabret00the:
Would be nice to have the ability to swipe on widgets.
[Nova Launcher] bluebirch:
I can see the rightmost icon of the left scrollable dock. Setting narrow or no margins solves the problem, but I don't want to do that. :)

Edit: Asus Transformer TF700 and Android 4.2.1 (CROMi-X 4.4), same thing on 4.1.
[Nova Launcher] niteh@wk:
If the widgets do not intercept and consume the swipe gesture, then Nova will intercept it and carry out the action in Gesture settings. I can swipe on some widgets and can't on some others, especially on scrollable widgets like Google Keep.

Edit: I see what you mean, you want the gesture like the app icon swipe gesture. That would be nice but I think wouldbe harder to implement due to the fact that widgets intercept gesture too.

[Nova Launcher] iamnotkurtcobain:
how can we edit the icons in drawer?

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9505 mit Tapatalk 2
[Nova Launcher] Namoi:
Didn't tried, but probably by long pressing then edit...
[Nova Launcher] andrewilley:
Darn, misread that as edit titles of apps in

Dock

, which would have been wonderful. Maybe next time?

And when I installed it, it wiped out all my desktops and user settings, as if it was a clean install (even though it said data would not be lost). I've got a backup from last week, but I stupidly forgot to do a fresh one immediately before upgrading. Reversing the update did not help either, still a 'new install'.

Oh well, rolled back to 2-May settings/desktops backup, but it's amazing what I've tweaking in the last three days! :)

Great update!! Thank you for continually enhance this awesome launcher! One thing I notice in the new update, my hidden folders

Also, subfolders (within folders) are no longer supported? My subfolders are jumping out to the main drawer now.

Fantastic update! Love the drawer icon swapping! Thanks!
[Nova Launcher] Braneless:
Are you running a cracked version of Prime or something? This did not happen to me (updated from previous beta to current).
[Nova Launcher] LordManhattan:
Bug: Whenever I uninstall an app, the drawer doesn't update. In other words, the app icon(s) doesn't go away once the app(s) is/are uninstalled. Not a huge deal since they disappear after I restart Nova. Take your time :)
[Nova Launcher] anoneemooz:
My folders inside the drawer disappeared with the latest update lol

And when I try to work with drawer groups, I get an FC : o

Edit: after reboot, I no longer get an FC when trying to add apps to drawer tabs but I can't add folders to my drawer tabs anymore..

OH MY GOD! The app editing in the drawer IS AWESOME! I've already changed the icons of some apps like the XDA App and Goo.IM app to better looking ones! This feature is amazing! THANK YOU SO MUCH! Can't stress it enough how awesome this launcher is.
[Nova Launcher] dantheman122:
Is there any chance of changing the desktop lock to be strictly the desktop? I would love to be able to lock editing of the desktop but still be able to edit the app drawer, it's so handy being able to drag apps to app info and uninstall and now edit icons but I tend to keep my desktop locked.

Or make it easier to lock and unlock, by putting a lock icon in the app drawer beside the menu button or just within that menu, so we don't have to open nova settings.

Thanks heaps.
[Nova Launcher] A2Trip:

I can still drag and drop mine to create desktop folders on the new "AWESOME" beta.

Longpress and drag to EDIT then you can add it to an existing folder or create a new one.

Amazing upgrade. Just keeps getting better. :highfive:
[Nova Launcher] saenta:
Thanks! But not working correctly for me (says app not installedif i try to open).
[Nova Launcher] elk2210:
The List-Mode in the drawer is crashing the new Beta. Anyone with the same issue?
[Nova Launcher] andrewilley:
No, fully paid-up Prime (bought directly from TeslaCoil at their website http://novalauncher.com/ rather than via Google Play, in case that makes a difference).

In my case, the basic free Nova 2.0.2 was one of the optional items included with my ROM (Omega 7.0, AOKP, JB 4.2.2), which I then registered, so I did get a message that the new beta would update an existing System App - but that all data would be retained. However it did a clean install instead, and showed as unlicensed too. Oh, and the 'Nova Settings' option in the main desktop Menu had vanished too - only Wallpaper, Manage Apps, and System Settings were showing.

I have since used the Apps Manager to roll back the update, but it was still showing as an unregistered new install (although the desktop Menu-button option was back). I then reapplied my license password, and restored settings from my last Nova backup, but it was a bit of a pain to then have to re-install all of my Widgets/settings too.

Any thoughts on what might have gone wrong?

Andre
[Nova Launcher] grubby0:
:confused: Man I dont know. I been messing with it for a while(since update) and it seems to work just fine for me. Is it just one app not working or everyone you try? If just one try deleting the app and redownloading. It seems like I've seen app not installed in the past when I have restored my desktop and hadn't actually restored the app yet. Anywyas I've put them into existing folders and added new ones and either way it is spot on on new update. Sorry I couldn't help.
[Nova Launcher] saenta:
Apps are installed correctly. What i mean is that if i put a folder into another one in app drawer there is no icon and folder name is messed up, and when i click on it it shows little message that app is not installed correctly (but it's a folder not app).
[Nova Launcher] Onraad:
Yes, same thing is happening to me. I have 6 folders, and they show wrong icons. Whenever I want to open or edit them, Nova crashes.
[Nova Launcher] LordManhattan:
That's a bug. The app you're trying to open is actually not installed. Restart Nova and watch it disappear.
[Nova Launcher] mario_21:
Hello, I really like Nova (I'm using Prime version) but in this last beta version I have following problems:

- Can't change wallpaper – I get Nova FC

- App drawer occasionally freezes

- Icons of folders in app drawer are partially over folder titles

- Nova is slower compared to previous version
[Nova Launcher] k3v0:
I like where this is headed. Thanks for the preview of the usability improvements we can expect in the next release
[Nova Launcher] polobunny:
Any other launcher included with Omega 7? My guess would be that it fell back to the default launcher (other than Nova) such as CM Trebuchet and thus obviously it seemed like your settings had be erased.
[Nova Launcher] decmk:
Thanks for the great app. I just have two suggestions

Separate option lock unlock desktop and lock unlock drawer

Transparent notification bar on sense 4+ and sense 5

[Nova Launcher] andrei1015:
Beta 1 has some missing options. I'm talking about the new icon picker, which doesn't have the option to go back to the original icon or select from an icon pack like it used to. But this is a beta and I'm sure the dev will make this changes.

EDIT: yeah I just needed to swipe. Sorry.

[Nova Launcher] ImpheOtus:
The option is there. When you select edit a screen come up. Just swipe that screen ti left or right and you'll get more options.

Edit: ok, you figured it out =P
[Nova Launcher] doumer:
thank you so much for adding the possibility to edit drawer icons!

Gonna try tonight as soon as I'm home from work :D
[Nova Launcher] andrewilley:
There were other options for launchers within the ROM, but I did not install them (I like Nova, and had already paid for the full version). I was definitely still in Nova though, complete with the initial reb/blue boxes on the first homepage for importing settings from other launchers or from an existing version of Nova.

Now I've got a fully up-to-date backup, I'll try again tomorrow and see what happens in more detail.

Andre
[Nova Launcher] polobunny:
Strange that the Nova settings weren't present in the contextual menu then. :S
[Nova Launcher] CronoTr:
How can I hide a folder name?
[Nova Launcher] LordManhattan:
Future request: Make it more obvious that we can swipe to the right to choose icons from existing icon packs etc. It's not something the average user will know unless they accidentally swipe. I know this is a beta, but it's needed.
[Nova Launcher] adriannxda:
If a newly installed application is removed from the desktop (via a long tap and the bottom line in the menu), the application gets removed, but the icon remains in the app drawer and when you click it, the system displays that the application is not installed. After restarting the launcher the icon disappears.
[Nova Launcher] topcaser:
Ok, how can I setup a folder in the app drawer? I thought, a folder in the app drawer is a group (tab).

I tried again, this time using the downloaded apk rather than using the in-app beta upgrade option, and it worked fine. I didn't get a prompt about "this will update a system app" this time, and it seems to have worked perfectly. How odd, I wonder what happened yesterday?

Andre
[Nova Launcher] polobunny:
Possible that the location for data for Nova when installed as a system app or user app changes, thus it could not find your old settings?

Either way, I'm glad it works for you now.
[Nova Launcher] wedg11383:
In the new beta, if I edit a folder in the app drawer and then press back, it displays my drawer but everything including the icons are transparent until I press back again. Anyone else seeing this?
[Nova Launcher] mario_21:
The same for me...

Also I found out that the grid in the folders has always max 4 columns. It doesn't matter what grid size I have set up. It would be nice if the grid in folders will be the same as set up grid - it was in the last version 2.0.2.
[Nova Launcher] LordManhattan:
Exactly. If you didn't get that, not a lot of people will.

Go into the app drawer, tap and hold an icon you want to edit, pull the icon up to the "edit" option. You now have a couple of options like "Gallery", "Solid Explorer" and "Dropbox" (depending on apps installed), but wait! Scroll to the right and you'll be able to choose system icons and if you scroll again you'll be able to choose icons from icon packs (if you have any packs installed).

There are no hints or indications that you can scroll to the right to do this. I expect Kevin to change this in a future update, but i'm just saying that it took me a couple of minutes to figure this out.
[Nova Launcher] 089man:
You must not scroll right with finger.. Push on top on the first screen to apps

[Nova Launcher] LordManhattan:
I didn't know that! Thanks!

This - again, proves my point. It's confusing as hell and it should be a scroll indicator at the bottom so people can see that there are indeed several pages and not just one.

But i'll shut up for now since everybody including people in the Mongolian mountains knows about this issue by now.
[Nova Launcher] Mushroom.:
+1, no transparency on S4 here regardless of wallpaper, and I can't find a setting for it anywhere.
[Nova Launcher] polobunny:
Or you can click the icon itself in the edit dialog, no?
[Nova Launcher] LordManhattan:
Well look at that! Merci beaucoup, frenchy!

Again, i didn't know about this (too), so it's pretty clear that the current setup isn't that intuitive if we have to get help from a french canadian :p
[Nova Launcher] polobunny:
Peaceful, brilliant, french. All qualities man. :p

Agreed it could be more intuitive, but the dialog closely resembles the one that appears when you edit an icon on the desktop.
[Nova Launcher] solarus2011:
mazing update. Great new features. Thanks. I'm still having issues with beWeather click widgets, the time has a "1" in front of it. Its the same issue that was fixed a while back but reappeared in v2. Restart of Nova fixes it but only for a short while.

Minor annoyance, certainly nothing to keep me from switching to any other launcher.
[Nova Launcher] joemommasfat:
I'm having an issue with nova launching the wrong apps. Sometimes when I hit an icon, it thinks I hit the one on the next page over. For instance in the image I attached. Nova launches realcalc when I try to skip tracks in pandora. Similarly on the next page if I try to launch an app on the far right of the screen, it usually launches the app on the far left of the next screen.

Has anyone else seen this, or know the solution. I am on Nova Prime version 2.0.2.

is it possible to get an unread message count for WhatsApp? Highly wanted ;)
[Nova Launcher] andrewilley:
I'll heavily second that. Although I would have happily paid for the app anyway, oddly enough the unread counts feature was probably the biggest single draw for me - and I found it pretty basic to be honest. In hindsight, I'd have been better off paying for the competing Missed It! app, which appears to be a lot better featured.

What's App is hardly a little-used product after all - I'd guess that at least half of the people here probably use it.

If Nova Launcher is installed on non-Nexus device...?

I'm used to using just Nexus devices, so I'm used to the "pure google experience" thing.

If I got an HTC One and put Nova on it, would that make the HTC Sense tweaks go away? Or would HTC Sense still be active in some circumstances, does anyone know?

I have never used an Android device that was not from Google, so I don't know what they do that's different.
