I have the wallpaper issue in beta 15 too. I added 96 pixels to the top of a wallpaper to see if that would correct it and it still didn't; that was using the stock gallery to change it, so it must be some arbitrary offset.

sometimes widgets stop updating and i have to reload nova launcher.

i did a search and saw some people had similiar issues, altough i havent noticed it until updating to beta 15 (i just got my nexus when the previous beta was available, so i didnt test many versions).

Just wanted to add one more similar report.

cheers.

Seriously, how many times do people have to be asked before they will start providing logcats so the dev can actually work on fixing this issue?

Also, what are ALL the widgets you're using? Peple only ever seem to say what one or two of them are, and the one or two they mention always work for everyone else. Either try removing all of your widgets and adding them back one at a time until it first breaks to work out which one is triggering the issues, or give us a full listing so someone else can do so.

Seriously, the above questions have been asked so many times, but practically noone with the issue has ever replied. The dev doesn't have a crystal ball, if you don't give him enough info to reproduce the problem, he can't even start to fix it.

I really like Nova Launcher.

Would it be possible in the future to have Folders in the Drawer?

IMHO this is the only missing feature. Everything works and it is so nice in the latest beta...

Please consider... It would be so nice to organise icons under certain folders in the drawer, especially when you have so many applications installed in your phone.

[Nova Launcher] cocchiararo:
my search reflected information similar (ok, less than mine) to what i posted, but i saw no answer to those who posted similar stuff.

In your "attitude" defence, i just read a few pages after each of the first 4 or 5 posts that appeared when i searched, not the whole thread.

As far as i can see, any widget thats anything bedises a static clickable "thing" gets broken.

I have many, can mention Beautifull widgets superclock (gets frozen), system info widget (turns into the "loading" sign, or freezes its numbers), pure grid calendar (loading sign, but i removed it yesterday and problem ocurred once more), audio manager pro (its bars dissapear), launch x pro (stays ok, but it has no animation or update, i dont use the scrollable or grid like ones), quichssh (stays there, but i never tried turning it on when the issue ocurred), poweramp (stays with no album art i think).

I only use to notice after some time of not using the phone, and only yesterday i thought about reloading Nova.

If it happens again (its random, and does not happen that often), i will get some logcats.

Hello,

I realy like this launcher on my galaxy nexus (AOKP B23) but since B14 I have constant FC.

Before Beta 14 I’ve never see this but know, after using some apps (maybe «*eavy*» apps), trying to get back to home give me only the background and I must wait long time before finding back my icons and widgets.

I’ve read here about V6 supercharger but don’t know what it is. Since the only appened after B14, maybe it’s a nova launcher bug ?

[EDIT] find it here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991276 but I’d prefer having a solution without this kind of things. Can’t we tell android to «*protect*» an app and not killing it ?

Any help ? Thank’s,

Try downloading both Autokiller Memory Optomizer, and ROM Toolbox. In Autokiller, go into "Processes", long press on Nova, and click "lower oom value". In ROM Toolbox, scroll over to "Performance" and enter "Kernel Tweaks". Enter these values (starting from the top): 8192, 90, 70, 30. Click "oom kill allocating task" and "apply on boot", then click "apply". Back out of that window, and enter "Build.prop Tweaks", and slide the "VM Heap" slider over to a value you're comfortable with (I have mine set at 100). *It may take a few swipes to get it to the value you want, so once you hit "apply" and it asks you to reboot, just click "no", back out of the window, and enter it again. Repeat this until you get the VM value you want, and then choose "yes" to the reboot prompt.

That should put some controls on your available RAM, and free up some space for the system to "breathe", and hopefully, eliminate your redraw issues with the launcher. Hope this helps. Those tweaks leave me with just over 170MB free RAM at all times. :)

*Edit: I forgot to mention the Advanced settings menu in Autokiller. Enter it, and check off SD card, Memory Management, UI, and Network, for some additional performance boosts.*

Hey, man, thank you very much for this.. Unfortunately when I did all this, after the reboot, it stayed in boot loader. I had to install rom again.. :( It is not your fault. I remember that anyone who eg tried to change dpi with an application had the same. I think I have to edit built.prop only with an editor for not having the same. But I copy all this to use it in the future with some other from. I will try some of them again hoping don't have the same..

Perhaps you have any idea if by using autokiller memory optimizer or rom toolbox, if I could solve this:

When I have dolphin hd in background, I see that it still uses much cpu and battery drain.. Can I make it kind of "frozen" when in background?

Many thanks again.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
That's crazy! You have a better phone than I do, so you shouldn't be having these issues. Worst comes to worst, just stick to the Autokiller tweaks until you find more specific build.prop and systctl values for your device. I just findit really weird...my OG Droid, OG Galaxy Tab, A500, and D3 are running the exact same setup, with no issues...then again, Ive never changed my dpi values. I know you'll be good with the Autokiller stuff though, and it should still decrease your redraw issues.

I had these issues on Nova and Apex. I solved it by downloading the V6 Supercharger script. One of the options makes it very hard to kill the launcher (memory management). No freezes since.
[Nova Launcher] conductor_bosh:
I have a problem. Whenever I'm using the Nova Launcher, my phone is really slow, because the default launcher is still open in the background. I can't disable it, and if I force-close it it automatically opens up again. Whenever I press a button, it asks if I want to "complete that action" with Nova or with the default launcher. It sucked so I uninstalled Nova, even though I like it; is there a way I can fix this problem?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
First, what device are you running Nova on? Second, did you see the checkbox in the "complete action" window that says, "Set as Default"? If so, check the box, and then select Nova...that will solve Part 2 of your problem. As for Part 1 (Nova running slow), go back a page or so, and see my posts about Autokiller Memory Optimizer and ROM Toolbox. Although the user I was trying to help, had serious issues with Toolbox, his problem may have been related to other tweaks he had applied. In the worst case scenario, Autokiller should do the trick for you. :)

D3 AOKP
[Nova Launcher] BlackMamba08:
Do these tweaks hinder any performance or hold back anything in the OS?

Would it make sense to do these even if I am not having any problems for a performance boost?

Also I just wanted to let the developer know that I love nova launcher. My first android and I wanted it to be as stock as possible for as long as possible just to get the feel of the great product that my phone is, unfortunately staying stock didn't last too long (2 months). All the other launchers completely changed the look and feel of the phone, didn't feel like android 4.0 anymore. Nova launcher is the greatest launcher out there, especially for a user like me :)
[Nova Launcher] wolfboy1984:
Autokiller Memory Optimizer works really well. No slow home screen.

Need to buy pro key really tho so it kicks in on boot.

Do any other apps do the same advanced tweaks for free?

Sent from my ICSed i9000.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I'm honestly not sure. I use Autokiller free, and even though the tweaks aren't applied at boot, they WILL be applied as soon as your SD card mounts, so there may be no need to go Pro. ROM Toolbox, on the other hand, will give you some more powerful options, but you'll have to get the Pro version to enable some of them. In my opinion, it's well worth the money, but I would also check through your ROM's performance options first, to see if it has VM Heap, Memory Management, or systctl options. Most ROMs do, so that would be an easy, free way of tweaking your system, and optimizing performance. Speed tweaks, I can kinda live without (I get it from overclocking anyway), but speeding up SD read times, and smoothing out the UI performance is vital for me. I hate lag, and I hate redraws, and these two apps are how I achieve that. I use them on all four of my devices, with excellent results...just check the Quadrant score I got this morning after flashing AOKP! it's a result of the ROM being quick, but I was scoring 150-200 points lower before setting up my tweaks and overclocking to 1.2Ghz. :D

D3 AOKP
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
If you're not having any performance issues, then I wouldn't worry about the Toolbox so much, but using Autokiller to set some RAM parameters, and smooth out UI, SD, and network performance certainly can't hurt. :D

I tried looking around but I can't seem to find definitive instructions. How do I "push" this app to system/app with root explorer? Or do I need to use adb for that?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
^^You can use Titanium Backup if you have it. Just long press on Nova, and choose "convert to system app". Other than that, you can flash the update.zip through recovery, and just take the beta 15 update when prompted. I use the TiBu method because it's the fastest...I've never used ADB to push anything to system yet...

[Nova Launcher] DirkStorck:
Hi. According to the documentation Process Manager it says "Ignore function can only set ignoration on running application instance, if application is restarted or it comes to front the ignoration will be removed (system changes oom values during an application's lifecycle on purpose, i won't change this)". That means that "oom kill allocating task" for the NOVA launcher is only temporally....
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Correct, but I just checked my app, and I don't even have the "ignore" function. I have the free version, and I simply lower the oom value to -17, which just makes it less likely to be killed. I don't actually want to kill apps (and it's been shown that task killers are useless at best, and harmful at worst), but by lowering the value, it will stay in memory longer, which will lower the chance of redraws and lag, until the system purges it on it's own. Please let me know if I'm 100% wrong, but that was my understanding of how Autokiller was working...Thank you for the feedback though. :)

Edit: After doing some extra digging, I may actually be 100% wrong after all. I'll keep looking for more info, but I do seem to get markedly better performance with Autokiller set up, but maybe I can find something that is more effective and efficient. :)

[Nova Launcher] Dr_Driller:
