Why is this nova's fault?? It's clearly rom related. I use nova on my desire z and xperia mini pro with cm10 and 512 mb ram... No problems...

You should change your rom and/or your memory managment.

[Nova Launcher] noellenchris:
The post above is right. It's a memory management issue from your rom. Android groups apps and will kill apps in certain groups when certain levels of memory are used. The stock launcher is usually in a protected group and therefore doesn't get killed. Non stock launchers get thrown into another group where memory management can have all kinds of variables based on ;your rom or what you set it to. In order to change the group for Nova with Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean, you will have to edit many files or run scripts that will change that for you and even then it may still kill Nova sometimes.

So my point is, the dev for Nova and other non-stock launcher's try to find ways to lighten memory use to avoid Android killing it, but it will really depend on what rom Your using. Sorry my reply is so long...:P Just drank 20oz of good coffee!

[Nova Launcher] ZionFreak:
Again guys, most of the current problems are not due to the ROM's but the 4.2. version. Going back to 4.1.2 has solved all of the issues I was experiencing. But here is a question. What need of a ROM when stock Jelly Bean is so nice? And if you get bored, you can always use these launchers.

Search for an app called "screen off and lock" in the play store. Then set a gesture via nova...works great with "pinch in".

Try and convert Nova to a system app and see if that helps. Should avoid frequent redraws to some extent.

Using Nova with the Note 2

Part of the Note 2 feature is the detection with the S-Pen is detached. Once detached, it places an icon in notifications to remind you the pen is detached.

When using TW, it always detects the S-Pen when detached

I can change the default launcher to Nava and for a little bit, it continues to detect the pen being detached/attached and displays the proper notification

However, after some time (5-15 minutes), something seems to time out and the launcher no longer detects the pen being detached/attached and the notification is no longer displayed. If you reboot the device, it fails to detect it right away.

You can change the default launcher back to TW and then back to Nova and it works again for a few and then fails. The odd thing is it still plays the detach/attach sounds and even works when you have Open Popup Note enabled, but just doesn't display the notification. Although very minor, it's great to have to remind you about the S-Pen being detached.

To replicate:

1. Clear default launcher

2. Press home button and select TW just once

3. Confirm detection of S-Pen being detached/attached

4. Press home button and select Nova always

5. Confirm detection of S-Pen being detached/attached

6. Attach S-Pen and wait about 10+ minutes or reboot device

7. Detach/Attach S-Pen. Detection should fail, but all other features to be working

Can anyone confirm and any way to fix it permanently?
[Nova Launcher] Kurre:
furqanzaigham, you could try the following code if you're rooted etc. It changes the Nova's oom_adj value which is directly related to the memory management groupings etc. Last chmod command should prevent it changing back to previous value, but it might not work..I haven't tested this so thoroughly.

Kudos to osm0sis, who introduced this script in franco.Kernel thread (IIRC).

Use terminal emulator, adb, script manager or anything you like to run these commands.

chmod 777 /proc/`pidof com.teslacoilsw.launcher`/oom_adj && echo "1" > /proc/`pidof com.teslacoilsw.launcher`/oom_adj && chmod 100 /proc/`pidof com.teslacoilsw.launcher`/oom_adj

Check the value after a while with following command:

cat /proc/`pidof com.teslacoilsw.launcher`/oom_adj

[Nova Launcher] noellenchris:
Nice, that does work, now I'll have to see if it sticks...:p

EDIT: after reboot, it didn't stick for me on JB, and my OOM settings changed that I set in services.jar. That's ok, I'll run the script again to set them perm

Noellenchris
[Nova Launcher] Kurre:
Yeah that doesn't survive rebooting..:) but otherwise it should work and make it harder to kill. Or actually "die hard" like in supercharged services.jar (same oom_adj, 1) ;)

That should work also as a init.d script..but it needs some sleeptime before doing its stuff.

I am having a problem installing 1.3.4 beta1. When I get to the point of pressing the install button, there is no response.

I can press on every other option (cancel, new or all) and they all respond.

Anyone have any idea what could be causing this? I am running stock Jelly Bean 4.2.1 on a GSM Galaxy Nexus.
[Nova Launcher] noellenchris:
I had the same thing happen, but it was with another app i was updating. I rebooted and it worked after the reboot.

[Nova Launcher] #illidan:
Sounds like you have a screen filter running. Disable it first & then install the app. One of Android's security measures I believe. If you don't have a screen filter then maybe some sort of bug which can be rectified with a simple reboot.

Can you confirm this behaviour with other launchers like Apex, ADW or Go to rule out that it isn't a ROM issues where TW whines that it's not being used as the default launcher & starts acting funny. I'm pretty sure that it would be a TW issue because I don't think Nova would be able to kill notifications.

Hi, I have a Nexus 10 and there seems to be a problem with wallpaper. I can download and set wallpaper no problem and it looks perfect UNTIL the screen goes off, when the screen comes back on its been resized somehow and only takes up a portion of the screen like below:-

http://imgur.com/6SMC8

To clarify, before the screen goes off its full screen and looks great afterwards its resized, however it doesnt happen all the time, also it can happen when moving icons from the app drawer to the main screen.

Any ideas? Im running 1.33 and Android 4.2.1

Edited to add that if i turn the tablet to portrait mode then back to landscape it fixes it.

[Nova Launcher] #illidan:
Not a problem :)

Then it's like I said, TW not playing nice with other launchers. I don't think Nova, Apex or any other launcher can do anything about that so it isn't a Nova bug.

Same here pal. SPen detachment is not implemented in Nova. But I don't expect it should, this is only a Note series feature which is implemented in TW framework only.

And you don't need to wait 10 minutes, just reboot after selecting Nova as default, pen detachment icon will go away right away.

Also, with Multipicture Live Wallpaper, it works fine in landscape, but when switched to portrait, the wallpaper doesn't show up. It works fine in other launchers, so I know it's a Nova issue.

Is Nova just not good on tablets or something, or does it maybe have something to do with my tablet having the Phone UI?

Hello, I'm using Nova Launcher Prime.

Had an S2 (rooted, 4.0.4) and just moved to an S3 (unrooted, 4.0.4). Tried to backup in the S2 and restore the backup file in the S3, but it didn't work. There is no error message, it simply leaves home and drawer untouched. Mainly I would like to restore all the tabs I created, although apps in each device are not exactly the same. Is this supposed to work the way I'm trying?

In case it should work, is there any way to see any log to see what is going wrong?

Thank you in advance.
[Nova Launcher] agentdark45:
Is there any way you can enable text underneath the dock icons - similar to TouchWiz on the Galaxy series?
[Nova Launcher] enigma1981:
I don't get that - why would you want text on the dock icons? You put the icons there so you should know what they are...

I personally hate icon text completely! I've got it turned off everywhere - homecreen, folders, app drawer... all just icons :) looks much neater!

That's your preference, it does not ring true for all users. It's a small feature that could easily be implemented by the dev (and has been requested before based on google searches).

I gave this app a 4 day go and my results were sad regarding battery.

The first two days I had it installed it completly drained the battery overnight and would not allow the phone to goto sleep for more than 10 minutes at a time. I then uninstalled and left phone off charge overnight and the phone stayed asleep most of the night like it normally did before installing. On the 4th night I reinstalled and had the same results with huge battery drain and phone not sleeping properly so I uninstalled again and battery back to normal again on the 5th night :(

Wish I didn't have the sleeping issues with it as I kinda like the added features this launcher gives over stock. Oh well hopefully in time it'll be fixed.

Hi all, i have a noob question. I came back to this launcher after using others one but i have a problem.

Im usibg a galaxy s2 with stock rom.

Anyways, i created folders and put apps and games in them, but i dont get to move them to the homescreen. I tried many times and different settings but i don know how. I hold onto the folder icon, i get a vibrate but it doesnt do anything. Now if i move individual apps or games i can place them on the homeacreen. Whafs the point of folders if i cant put them on the homescreen. Is there a reason why it is like this?

I have nova laucher prime if that makes any difference. And i have uninstall and reinstall the program.

Thanks for your help.
[Nova Launcher] pdppdp:
You are talking about folders in the app drawer. Those you can't move to homescreen (would be a nice feature though). To create folders on homescreen just put one app icon above another one (on homescreen). Folder gets created automatically and when you click on it you can rename it.
