Add my vote to keep in memory +1
[Nova Launcher] dcos:
Yes, I did. Thanks, I thought about it after I posted here. Do you know, is there any other fix for that I really prefer this changed density?
[Nova Launcher] Noed:
For me it's easy, you forgot to say, Apex doesn't support folders in drawer.

I also "feel" Nova is better.
[Nova Launcher] AllSeeyinEye:
I don't use folders :)

Today was an entire day of Nova. I'm certain that the moment continuous scrolling in the drawer is implemented I will forget about Apex.

[Nova Launcher] Noed:
At least Nova give people the choice if they want to use folders.

If I wanted a limited featureless UI, I would get an iPhone.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Add your votes to the User Voice request (if you haven't done so already). I think it's currently up to about 550 votes (the highest number of votes on the first page), so it's clearly a popular request. I just added 4 votes to it myself. That's the fastest way to get Kevin's attention. :)

As an aside for those clamoring for infinite scrolling in the app drawer... Vote for it. There's currently only one vote for the feature on User Voice. That tells Kevin that the feature isn't popular, and isn't wanted. If you guys want a feature, let Kevin know, by voting it up. Otherwise, you're going to be SOL...

Whoa, running the latest (beta 3) on my gtab 2 (ICS), just rebooted and one of the folders on my desktop was duplicated. Tried to move it, froze for a minute. Tried to open another folder, Nova fc'd and when it restarted, both the original folder and the duplicate folder were gone/deleted.

Reverting back to beta 2.

Ok so I just installed the new beta and now I lost root access.... What happened?
[Nova Launcher] The Stir:
I have a strange issue on my N7 where I can not get themes to show up or change icons to theme images. I can change icon images through the gallery or file explorer just not through installed themes.

This has been true on 4.1.1 and .2 and all the Nova betas.

Nova is not asking for root access could this be related?
[Nova Launcher] enigma1981:
Go into nova settings and hood the volume up button, you'll see an extra option called 'labs' appear, go in there and tick 'large grid sizes'

Then go back and change your grid to 10x10

Hey dude thanks a lot!!! it worked!! I didn't even wipe data. just did a cache and dalvik and re flashed the zip i updated with nova in the system/app folder. i.m thinking that updater script is jammed up in the nova zip, or it is just for the nexus and not the droid x. anyways everything is working now!! i'm going to set my phone up, make a back up so i can flash between this and miui. i still need to work on my theme more.
[Nova Launcher] eckischeich:
Don't know if this is the right place to report bugs... however... here are one/two:

When opening the settings or the menu to switch between "app catalogs" and then immediately going back to the homescreen, the drop down menu remains while the app drawer is closed.

Agree with drakenabarion, about suggestions

And add tree more:

1.apps grouping in app drawer (ex. Games, Tools, Educ., "Custom")

2.change color or transparency of app/widget drawer

3.hide/show apps or widget in app/widget drawer

Thanks for a great work :)
[Nova Launcher] exempli_gratia:
Great upgrade to the stock ICS Launcher!

Is there a way to remove the whitespace margins from the sides, and give widgets a bit more room to use? If not, would be a nice addition.

Thanks.
[Nova Launcher] lindahl85:
I would really like to see a vertical drawer that just keeps rolling down with one single swipe. I have seen that many would like the vertical style but the one page at the time is a pain in the ass with many apps.

Brilliant launcher

[Nova Launcher] sbredflag:
I wish there was a way to put more than the preset limit of 16 apps in a folder. I want to keep all my games in one folder but I have ~20 games. A folder that's scrollable would be nice.

Overall I love the launcher, though :D
[Nova Launcher] BFirebird101:
Loving it. My only complaint would be that the app drawer doesn't look quite the same as stock. Don't know how to explain it but it's not as... clear I guess. Seems more pixelated. Like when lookimg at letters and stuff. Other than that this is awesome. Love it!

Or maybe add a slider that lets you quickly get to the page you want (like the one for contacts).

[Nova Launcher] fantom557:
i love this launcher i think its best because its clean and simple. but the only issue i have is can't someone integrate a ringer profile into the launcher just like BB does so we don't have to relay on third party developers. i think this would be a great i also of the mind in keeping everything simple stupid for those who aren't as tech savvy.
[Nova Launcher] thatguy123:
You can get app organizer from the market. It allows to to put as many apps in a folder as you want. I currently have a couple folders with 60+ apps. Perfect for games etc. You can change the ugly icons it comes with as well.

With Nova, is there a way to have the Play Store icon instead of the menu icon (the 3 dots) in the top-right corner (like in the stock launcher)?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
The Play Store shortcut is right there if you press the menu button...But no, there's no "direct" one-click Play Store shortcut in the drawer.
[Nova Launcher] yken:
Visually it seems more impressive to my eyes, not because i need to know what icons are for.

Leaked Razor launcher and Motorola launcher and LG launcher all have dock icon names even though these are based on stock launchers.

I wish i know how to mod these launchers for this option. Only i want this option to remove TW launcher and use one of these.

But none of these launchers, Nova, apex, holo give us this option. They even dont respond if they will add this in future or not.
[Nova Launcher] ekerazha:
Yeah, but I'd prefer to directly replace the icon with the Play Store icon like in the stock launcher (Apex had this feature... I think it still has it).
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
It's been mentioned hundreds of times...Kevin does not check this thread for feature requests. That's what User Voice is for (in the OP). I was on it earlier today, and haven't even seen a request submitted for dock icon labels, so you should start one. I don't know his other launcher devs handle their threads, but Kevin has had User Voice in place since he put Nova on the Play Store. That's the quickest way to make a request for a feature (although there's no guarantee that it will be implemented).
[Nova Launcher] adl:
Nova betas are really good, no problems with any of the 4 betas so far. :)

Hey guys, got a quick question.

I just came to Nova after moving up to ICS (I'm on the Thunderbolt).

I tend to have the notification bar hidden, just so I have to work with. I used to use Go Launcher, and with that I could just drag down on the screen and the notification bar would come down.

It seems I'm not able to do this with Nova. Am I wrong?
[Nova Launcher] wolverine73:
You can use different swipe gestures to have the notification bar come down. Check the gestures section of the Nova menu
[Nova Launcher] carlo67:
thanks :)
[Nova Launcher] carlos67:
Not quite true. There are 2 requests for infinite app drawer scrolling in user voice. 1 of them, as you say, only has a few votes. However, the other request has many,many more votes (221 in fact) indicating that this is a very popular feature request. I have also noticed lots of peeps on this thread asking for this particular feature also.

It's unfortunate that the vote has been split on this particular feature request.

Personally, I can't understand why it wasn't in Nova from the word go. It's a must have feature that IS available on the homescreen so why not in the app drawer that could, in some cases, have more pages than than the homescreen has.

It's a complete no brainer.
[Nova Launcher] carlo67:
can anybody help me with this please
[Nova Launcher] cubbieswin:
I think I'm in the right place. I have Nova Launcher Premium installed. I'm not sure if what I'm looking for is a launcher feature or not.

When I was running Cyanogenmod on my OG EVO, I had the option of creating folders on the homescreen. I could create a folder based on a group of contacts. For instance, I have a VIP group. When I created that folder, I would have every member of that group in that folder.

Is this type of feature Nova Launcher could do?

Sent from my EvoLTE
[Nova Launcher] civarch:
You can just drag ann icon to another icon you wanted to group then it will automatically creates a folder. Then rename after that.
[Nova Launcher] cubbieswin:
Yeah, that part I know. The folder I am asking about is different. You would literally create a folder and tell it to use XYZ group from your contacts.

New release of Go Launcher has this on changelogs:

"(Improve) Significantly reduced memory usage"

Nova, Apex, Holo Launcher are all similar, all tweaked versions of the official ICS/JB laucnher... now Go Launcher, they really innovate, and it's 100% free :)

Anyone else here had experience with Go Launcher? Why did you move to Nova?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Good find... I must have missed the other, more popular request. Honestly, I think this never got added, because those of us who were here since the very beginning, simply didn't care about it. When Nova was first released, we were just happy to have an alternative to the stock launcher, but it had tons of bugs to iron out. Up until recently, most of the changes everyone was seeing in each release, were a direct result of the questions and requests we made to Kevin, long before Nova was even in beta. Infinite scroll in the drawer was not on anyone's bucket list, as far as I know.

We were more focused on helping Kevin to keep the launcher smooth, fast, and clean...once that was done, it was on to features, like transitions, native theme options (my personal request from back in the day), and more. In fact, part of the reason we have the in-app update feature, is because I implored Kevin to keep it...he was going to scrap the feature, once he released a Play Store version, but I let him know that some people have Play Store restrictions, outside of the US, and that being able to download and side load the app, would benefit a lot of people. It's the small thinks, and attention to detail that have made Nova great, and why Kevin is a great dev... You can blame us "ground zero" folk, for not thinking about infinite scrolling in the drawer though. If it's a super popular request though, I'm sure we'll see it eventually. :)

Bug report : frequent widget freezing and not updating unless you restart nova launcher
[Nova Launcher] bozzykid:
Are you serious? Go Launcher is full of bloat and isn't based on ICS/JB. The whole point of Go Launcher is for them to sell their themes. No thanks.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Here's an actual fact. The developers of GO Launcher blatantly ripped off Launcher Pro and ADW in order to build a user base. The app is also notorious for containing spyware. Essentially what they've done is create a transition engine, on top of a stolen launcher, and live off of a theme engine which is not their own...oh, and their app is stealing your information to boot. Is THAT what being unique and innovative is??! Honestly, I'm not 100% sure why you would post a GO change log here...it's pretty disrespectful to Kevin.

I think it's a bit selfish to nullify someone else's opinion just because you don't have the same view. You made it very clear that you do not care for dock labels, and that's fine. But you also can't seem to understand or even acknowledge the fact that other people might want these labels. Please respect the opinions of others..

I've been a Go Launcher user, then Apex, now Nova. Becuase I like Nova better.

Go Launcher is there with a large user base and has some interesting features, shouldn't be ignored.

I didn't mean to disrespect Nova dev (they don't even read this topic regularly)...

I'm happy Android gives us choice. Anyone can choose the launcher they think is better. It's not iPhone.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I wasn't disrespecting you at all. I was pointing out why GO is inferior, and why I feel it should be avoided. I wasn't trying to put you or your question down... I just found the change log thing to be in poor taste. The security issues are what you should really worry about with GO though...aside from its lag and bloat, I just find them to be a slightly unprincipled development team.
[Nova Launcher] cubbieswin:
I don't think the guy was being "disrespectful". He was seeking out information. It's pretty sad if you can't come here to ask questions.

[Nova Launcher] polobunny:
I used GO Launcher in the past, when it was more streamlined. I liked the theming and it was very fluid. But as versions passed by, it got bloated so I moved to Apex. I stuck onto it for a while but tried Nova. Although it lacked some of the customizations at first, it felt more fluid than Apex, so I moved.

I still think GO Launcher has some good stuff, whether it's used to spy on your private life and hack your government...

As for the Nova team, it's pretty much just Kevin as far as I'm aware. Can't really expect him to read all the posts daily considering the user base. ;)
[Nova Launcher] julien30dusud:
Great launcher, i love it !!!! :)
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I know he wasn't trying to be disrespectful, and I probably used the wrong wording initially. "Tact" is probably slightly more appropriate. I know a couple of devs (not Kevin) personally, and it bothers them when people come to their thread, and post stuff like change logs from other devs' projects. It's really not a huge deal though...I was just looking out for Kevin.

As for GO and its security issues...I'll look around, and find some information for you. They may have changed things since I last paid serious attention to them, but in the early days of the project, they were lambasted quite heavily for spyware issues. Add to that the fact that (at leads initially) their launcher was nothing but a LauncherPro copy, with different icons, and ADW EX (paid) features, and I have a huge problem with they way they've gone about business. I even called the devs out on it early on, and received a "if you don't like it, then piss off" kind of response. The launcher itself works fine...it's just slow, and full of features I don't want/need, but their commitment to intellectual property theft really left a bad taste in my mouth. Like I said though, I'll find some security related info for you, and post it, so you can see where I'm coming from. I don't know if they're still doing that stuff, but their early use of spyware was enough to make me steer clear of it for good, and I don't want to see anybody get burned by unscrupulous apps. :)

Hey guys, for those of you using Widgetsoid...update it now!! The app has been rewritten, includes some nice new options, and best of all...you can add it to the notifications, right from Nova. No more adding it from the stock launcher to make it work!

Huge fan of Nova, bought Prime, just have a couple questions.

1. Can I get portrait wallpapers? Even with wallpaper scroll off, I can't seem to crop a wallpaper down to my phone's native 540x960 resolution; also wallpapers that are exactly that, it wants to just use the middle. Can I use the whole thing or do I have to add black bars to the sides?

2. The unread/missed count overlay. Any way it can be applied to folders? I see that if I have Gmail in a folder, and I'm using the display that shows the four icons, I see the overlay real small, but is there a way to have the overlay on the icon if I use a custom icon?
