Borg, that's definitely worth more than 2¢ :D

One of the reasons I go back to LaunchePro is that the horizontal scroll reminds me of iOS :eek:

The thing about vertical along with horizontal scroll (for widgets) is a great idea :)

In addition, another option I'd like to have is to hide user defined apps ... Have some apps that have an additional appsetting application. Don't want these to be visible in the drawer.

Cheers :)

Install issue

Hi,

just tried to install using update.zip in recovery but didn't work as it should. Any ideas about what I may be doing wrong?

Many thanks
[Nova Launcher] KBanause:
mount /system manually before you flash the zip file.
[Nova Launcher] thaidroid:
I would like to add two more cents, in particular backup of settings since everyone is flashing new versions of ICS left right and centre.

Vertical drawer would be nice to (used to it from Launcher Pro)

Great app thank's for the good work:D:D:D
[Nova Launcher] vtec_screamer:
Thanks a lot, but didn't work. Any other suggestion?
[Nova Launcher] kane159:
hellow master, I will like to translate this good stuff to my language Chinese Traditional(zh-TW) how can I help?? is there a language pack or something like that?

sorry I really dont know the develop for android app...
[Nova Launcher] planetes42:
Thanks a ton!

This is exactly what I want -- vanilla ICS with customization options & the ability to back it up via Titanium (or native in app at some point). Great job.

I did notice one tiny bug -- if you long press on the homescreen -> shortcuts, pressing the "home" softkey does nothing (ie, cancel from inputting a shortcut via "home"). "Back" will still exit the menu, so it's not tragic by any means. Just something I noticed.

Thanks again for the great work -- I'm directing everyone I know with a Nexus to this thread.
[Nova Launcher] carrot34:
Can anyone else confirm that Titanium Backup won't (or will?) backup settings for Nova Launcher?
[Nova Launcher] soCram:
Same here. The searchbar appears on the homescreen behind my widget. The setting is set to "Never" and i deleted it before. Latest after a reboot the widget is appearing again.
[Nova Launcher] sting5566:
Worked just fine for me.
[Nova Launcher] HanSolo607:
Kevin, is there any way you can add the ability to hide the notification bar and to delete or hide that annoying line above the dock?

Man, that would make this perfect!!!

I'd put in a donation for your trouble if you tell me how I can do so!
[Nova Launcher] achapman91:
I do not know if this has already been said because I'm too lazy to take the time and look over the last 30 some pages. Anyhow, I absolutely love using this launcher. The only thing I would really love to see added is a home screen backup. Something like LauncherPro, only because custom roms are always being updated and I'm always redoing my homescreens. Just a suggestion of something for a future Nova Update. Thanks to the creator!
[Nova Launcher] haproot:
Search widget keeps re-appearing for me too. I have moved it to a blank screen and deleted but it just comes back on its own after a while.

- from the GNex
[Nova Launcher] doomedromance:
The quick search bar keeps coming back on my home screen even when I filling with a widget it will delete the widget and put back the quick search bar. The

Other than this looks to be my launcher of choice. I used ADW since the beginning but with all the new changes it no longer suits my needs. And old version doesn't wok well on ICS

Can't wait to see what you do with this. I been using widget locker and telsa for a long time.
[Nova Launcher] Staggers:
Nope. Not true. You can update through the app with no problem. If you've got it set up as a system app, you can always integrate the update into the ROM using Titanium after. That's what I did yesterday with no problem
[Nova Launcher] elhennig:
Annoying thing is that you have to reconfigure all widgets afterwards.
[Nova Launcher] mhwarfield:
Market finally similed upon me and I was able to throw $4 Kevin's way. :D I doubt I will even use the prime features but the dev deserves his due. I'm also back on the beta wagon. Only confusing thing was having a hard time finding the "menu" when the menu button on my EVO didn't do anything when in "Check for updates". "Oh, he means the little 3 square icon up there in the upper right corner. Gee... That's what that does." :p

Good job. Good deal. Bargan in my book.
[Nova Launcher] brunoisa10:
kevin : just noticed something strange

free version

when tapping on the screen in order to add Application I had to Force Close

or sometimes it is doing nothing

or The Application Stopped

mainly working :)

using the central button (all applis) : no problem
[Nova Launcher] The_GreenTree:
Hey Kevin,

I just purchased and downloaded the prime version from the market. After dl, the notification popped up saying that I had unlocked the prime features, but in nova settings the prime features are still locked. I don't know what the activation code is ( perhaps my order #?) I tried just putting my email and forgot code but the error says email unknown, I did get a confirmation email from android market saying the purchase was complete. Since the settings weren't unlocking I refunded my $ I would like yo purchase prime if the features would unlock, any help would be appreciated!
[Nova Launcher] hopscotchjunkie:
Did you try restarting the launcher (as per market description)?

[Nova Launcher] beaubin:
Go to Nova Launcher settings, all the way down to the bottom, click on that "Nova Laucnher Prime" line, that'll do it :)

Prime gestures feature crashes badly on Transformer tab (just updated to ICS today), eachtime when click on any gesture setup line, it'll crash, anyone experiencing this?
[Nova Launcher] GaboWinter:
Mmm yes, but i restart into recovery and fix permissions, with this no more FC'S in my case...

[Nova Launcher] pedmond:
Same thing on my GNex... Plus after a few reloads, the drawer opens empty. Had to uninstall - for the second time (I tried it a few betas ago and found the same behaviour).
[Nova Launcher] beaubin:
Don't tell me that I have to be rooted to be able to use gestures feature on my Transformer tab??
[Nova Launcher] The_GreenTree:
Yes that did it, dunno why I skipped over that, thank you!
[Nova Launcher] Vangu:
YEY!!!!!!!! Thanks mate!!
[Nova Launcher] GaboWinter:
No exactly, you can upgrade to Nova 1.0.1 beta 1 too, this fix the FC'S with gestures and another some bugs

Fixed Gesture Setting FC on some Tablets

Fix Folder background preference not always updating

Hardware menu button now works in changelog

Updated translations

This should be a rather short lived beta as I want to push 1.0.1 out to the Market. But getting some quick feedback from tablet users that still were having issues with beta1 would be appreciated.
[Nova Launcher] LordDeath:
Hi,

can you provide us an alternative payment option for the pro version like paypal? Some people don't have access to paid apps in the market but they still want to support you. :)
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
There's a paypal link at http://novalauncher.com/ :)

[Nova Launcher] barryflanagan:
Yes I am experiencing three same on my Prime. If you select any of the gesture settings Nova immediately crashes. Have been traveling and unable to get a logcat but will try later

Edit: that was in the beta 1. Well try the new beta and let you know if any problems

Edit2: Seems to be working fine now on 1.01beta2. Thanks!

[Nova Launcher] atlantis.mu:
100% agreed
[Nova Launcher] PONKiE:
I read about your launcher a while back, so I decided to download te free nova launcher. I'm loving it so much I decided to pay for the prime version today by Paypal. How long before I receive my update :D:D

EDIT: Got my code! It landed it my spamfolder so I didn't see it. I'm a happy camper now :D Thanks
[Nova Launcher] skillz9669:
just a quick question. I am currently on the free beta version. I am definitely willing to buy the prime version ( btw love the use of the word prime over pro, lol). Are there any plans to make the google search bar a persistent option. So that it sits on top on every page? Its not a deal breaker and will probably get it anyway but it would be a huge plus!!

I remit my previous request as its already there!! How did I not see it!! I bought the Prime version, money well spent!!!
[Nova Launcher] alcaprone:
I just bought the full version to support all your great work :-) and i find gestures really useful

Just a question..how is it possible to change folders wallpaper/preview mode as stated in changelog?
[Nova Launcher] skillz9669:
changing the preview mode for folders is under nova settings - desktop - folder preview

and to change it to a image just long press on folder and release and choose edit and now you can choose an icon pack image or gallery image as well... hope this helps
[Nova Launcher] Vangu:
I dont know why in my transformer with ICS, the normal launcher is much widther than the nova one, really much difference.

Anyone with the same problem?
[Nova Launcher] skillz9669:
not having a problem, can you post a screen shot to show what you mean?
[Nova Launcher] brunoisa10:

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

just had to resize the 4x2 widget because truncated when first displayed

@kevin : Is it possible to implement a way to resize a folder ?
[Nova Launcher] Vangu:
My mistake sorry :p
[Nova Launcher] alcaprone:
mmm I can't see any desktop-folder option :confused:
[Nova Launcher] skillz9669:
And if you have yet to change this. I Just set the home screen grid to 10 columns by 7 rows for proper sized layouts, and i would stick to the cube or none transition. Looks great for me
[Nova Launcher] skillz9669:
Hopefully this helps :)
[Nova Launcher] xda6969:
When this is installed, is the stock launcher with its widgets and stuff still running in the background???
[Nova Launcher] skillz9669:
A launcher works just like any other app. It may stay in background for a time after you load another launcher, but it will eventually be killed and removed.

Note that while it is in the background any widgets you installed on that launcher will still be running. Once you've made up your mind to switch permanently some recommend you go back and remove any widgets from the launchers you are no longer using.

so the answer is yes, to an extent, just remove the widgets and your fine.
[Nova Launcher] dmazyn:
Just wondering how to enable the dock on a tablet. I have a transformer with ICS and do not see any options for a dock.

I have prime Version 1.0.1.
[Nova Launcher] cenonmin:
There is no dock on Tablets but would like to request this for subsequent versions :)
[Nova Launcher] Vangu:
Turn it vertical.
[Nova Launcher] xda6969:
Thanks. That makes sense to remove the widgets on the stock launcher. How do you switch permanently? And if you decide to go back..how do you do that?
[Nova Launcher] skillz9669:
ahh... yeah i use force landscape, hopefully they will make a full tablet version too. I was using spb shell 3d and that works well I just got bored of it.

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------

one way is to open up setting - applications and go to the launcher thats running and hit clear defaults.

in nova just choose nova settings and scroll to bottom and click select default launcher

and by switch permanent just choose your favorite launcher as default. you can technically go to settings - apps and force stop the other launcher but it will just end process through time anyway.
[Nova Launcher] xda6969:
My wallpaper is not positioning correctly. It is placed high so the top is under the notification bar and the bottom edge it too far from the bottom of the screen. Anyone know how to fix this?
[Nova Launcher] artvandelay440:
Only feature i really miss from other launchers is the ability to batch add apps to a homescreen, as opposed to one at a time.
[Nova Launcher] idelgado782:
I just purchased prime from the market and I LOVE all the extra features it brings. I wanted to support the dev and I wanted to say thank you. :thumbup::beer:
[Nova Launcher] skillz9669:
Pretty cool to see your launcher get some engadget love. Keep up the good work!
[Nova Launcher] BennyJr:
So when i hit widgets in the app drawer it brings up the ugly widget picker..what gives?
[Nova Launcher] joelteixeira:
Nova launcher is undoubtedly the best launcher available. But this is one feature that I miss from trebuchet: keep Apps and Widgets independent (when scrollinhg) , but when we click on widget tab we see the beautiful ICS widget previews.
[Nova Launcher] scumm_boy:
That is the one thing i miss from the Cyanogenmod 9 launcher.
[Nova Launcher] plisk3n:
Ok, just paid for this via PayPal... didn't get any confirmation or what yet? Hmm.
[Nova Launcher] kibmcz:
Hmm same for me.. had me wondering.

-----Separate from reply-----

Also minor bug noticed the black screen view when opening drawer every so often is annoying!
[Nova Launcher] Keion:
Now you have to pay. Went from great to ****.
[Nova Launcher] MontAlbert:
Really? Ffs mate... There is a free version that is better than the beta.... Then if you feel like actually thanking the dev for all the work he has put in you can go without that burger or beer etc and part with $3.75aud... Really can't believe some people are so tight.. Do you realise how hard it is to develop a decent apply like this one? Go and make your own if you think it's that easy....

If not just use the free version...
[Nova Launcher] djmcnz:
You are a tool.
[Nova Launcher] PrimeDeluxe:
You don't have to pay.

Only if you want the Prime version.

Created with Galaxy S AOKP
[Nova Launcher] kibmcz:
Exactly... its more of a donation than a payment to provide support for the developer.
[Nova Launcher] Keion:
Some of us lack the means to pay. And no, I am not poor. It is of another cause entirely, which I shall not divulge for fear that the plebeians of this site will use the aforementioned cause as a reason to apply derogatory stereotypes to my being.
[Nova Launcher] batou37:
This is a great launcher, as a long time fan of launcher pro.
[Nova Launcher] brunoisa10:
testing 1.0.1 and I have always the issue when adding Appli , long tap and then Applis : nothing or even Force Close

another annoying think : the List of applications is showing the first page empty very often when coming from Long tap and then Applis

really the beta15 was better for that

Kevin : possible to have a free version without all the Prime things ? (I can't imagine it is not Prime which is causing problems)
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Make sure you're checking the email from your paypal account and make sure to check your spam folder. Otherwise email me (and let me know your paypal account email if you're using a different one).

This. Nova Launcher is not trial-ware/nag-ware/ad-ware/whatever, it's a free app. Prime just adds more to it.

Beta15 had Prime, just hidden.
[Nova Launcher] frenccw:
Again, you don't have to pay. The free version has all the features that have been introduced before. Only the new features require you to pay. A bit harsh to claim that it went from great to ****. If it was great to you before, then the free version is still great.
[Nova Launcher] brunoisa10:
kevin : so I'll reinstall beta15 in order to double check and let you know :)

EDIT : rechecked : it wasn't working well on beta15 nor beta14 so nothing related to prime so I'll use The button "All Applis" instead

edit2 : I'm rooted now and I had not noticed this issue with beta14 and 15 before , when I wasn't rooted
[Nova Launcher] roswell782:
I have a little problem, don t know if it was already mentionned. I use this launcher on my Transformer and don t have the widgets menu with all details, you know at this end of the applications menu, i only can get the same at when i long press the homescreen.

Sorry for bad english, hope you understand and please don t throw stones on my head ;-)
[Nova Launcher] brunoisa10:
it is just because your device is not rooted , it's the way used when not rooted
[Nova Launcher] roswell782:

[Nova Launcher] Milamber33:
It's down to the widget's author unfortunately. Nova supports scrollable widgets through the ICS API. If that widget won't scroll, then it will only be coded for the Gingerbread API, which is different. It needs to be updated to support ICS.
[Nova Launcher] MatMaul:
Hi, first thanks for this great launcher .

I just bought the prime version and I have a request :

Can you provide an option to disable the icon animation when doing a swipe on the dock ?

I find it useless and it annoys me big time because it delays the app launch.

Thanks

GPL Compliance

My previous post was apparently deleted.

Your op states "Nova Launcher is a highly customizable launcher replacement based on the stock ICS 4.0.3 Launcher. "

The ICS Launcher is GPL code. All modifications to GPL code require that the modified source be released if you make binaries publicly available. http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html

Based on that you appear to be in violation of the GPL rules and the rules of this forum so I'll ask again, am I missing something?
[Nova Launcher] BasilofBakerStreet:
I'm on the market version with prime. I don't know if this has been addressed but every time I download an app it gets placed at the end of the app drawer. Restarting NOVA fixes it but I would like to not have to do so. I'm stock unrooted.

Do you think somebody here could remove a prevoius message from you ? strange

I hope kevin will release his code if you're right

Hope Google will implement his Launcher in order to be the best
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
For other's what I replied:

I probably will either tune this or make it user-configurable. I believe the issue you're experiencing is actually the dock scrolling being too sensitive to mostly vertical motion (which then cancels the dock swipe).

The ICS Launcher is not under the GPL. Apache License Version 2.0 . The Apache license does not require modified sources be released. Nova Launcher is closed source.

Known issue. Will be fixed. For now just tapping the App tab and selecting All then switching back to My Apps should fix it easier than restarting Nova.
[Nova Launcher] tom1l21:
Kevin, it would seem, as you said, that the bounds for swiping vertically are too strict, which begs my question, "Do you plan on having multiple swiping gestures on icons, such as down, up, left, or right?" If that is in no way planned, then I suggest you make swiping in any direction open the shortcut to swiped app. This would be nice so that when I'm in landscape mode, I can still swipe up on the icon instead of having to swipe to the side.

If you do plan on implementing multiple swipe directions, then I'd simply make the bounds less strict, maybe 30 degrees on opposite sides of the centerline of the gesture direction
[Nova Launcher] famewolf:
Thank you for clearing my confusion. After reading it a quick google brought me to http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/pos...e-the-apache-software-license-over-gplv2.html which indeed explains that although the kernel is gpl many of the "user space" apps are apache.

drawing issue

Hi Guys,

do you have this same issue like me? It looks like a drawing issue in nova launcher.

I get it mostly after restart and only Reset of the launcher helps. In stock launcher it does not happen.

look at the attached pictures.
