I can confirm the infinite scrolling of the dock when I have 2 somehow makes the icons invisible...galaxy nexus, aokp.

Where do you guys get beta13? The link in here is linking to beta12 and the in-app update is not working now.
[Nova Launcher] reisa:
great launcher!

Installed as a system app - and I'm loving it. I didn't buy the GN after playing with one until I knew about this launcher. The default launcher is just too limiting.

A couple of observations/requests: I've noticed minor flicker/redraw issues with a widgets on the primary homescreen when I hit the home button. Specifically Beautiful Widgets. Everything works, and I'm not having the "stopped widget" problem mentioned earlier, but maybe there's a memory issue? I was having a stuck screen problem for a while, where I'd scroll to the last screen on the right, and it would hang with about a centimeter of the previous screen still showing. I'll see if it still happens with the new release. Otherwise, I don't think I'm having any problems with the launcher.

Would it be possible to increase the number of homescreens? And the number of apps that can be put inside a folder? And maybe smooth the background image transition when looping the homescreens. It just pops from one side to the other now. Swipe actions? I know you said some options would be held for a donate/paid version. Just hoping to see these at some point.

Great work!

in-app update is working for me...
[Nova Launcher] simplistian:
Thanks I manually changed the downloaded .tmp file to .apk and it works now.
[Nova Launcher] pascanu:
Same here.
[Nova Launcher] the1dynasty:
update works for me and i'm liking the infinite scroll... tho, it has a slight lag even with a regular wallpaper... it's not a deal breaker!!

one suggestion which i find pretty annoying when i'm setting my phone back up from flashing it so much (another story) is when you long press a widget to re-size it, the options pop up to "Remove" or to "Resize" it... with the "Remove" at the top of the screen after long pressing a widget/icon/etc, i don't think having that extra step to re-size something should be there... in other words, a long press on a widget should do just like stock and allow for re-sizing immediately after the long press... other than that, i got nothing to report!! keep up the great work guys!!!
[Nova Launcher] vis80k:
this is a great launcher with the ICS feel but more customizable!

just enough tweaks to the stock ICS launcher that I needed!

Beta 13

In addition:

I have 2 Docks. When I check "infinitive scroll", I get a 3rd empty dock.

(Galaxy Nexus, 4.0.2)
[Nova Launcher] the1dynasty:
Noticed a bug... Under "behavior" none of the "home button action" work for me... I can set them but when i try to use it, it does one of two things: either it makes my entire screen go blank by removing all icons and going to the first screen... Or it flashes like it just restated the launcher and just leaves me on the home page...
[Nova Launcher] :
VERY strange behaviour if using 2 Homescreens + Infinite scroll! Can't really explain it, you should try it out yourself :confused:
[Nova Launcher] Zelig:
Infinite scroll doesn't work properly with 2 homescreens either.

You get a blank homescreen instead of your 2nd homescreen.

Hi Kevin,

Firstly, great work with Nova Launcher.

Secondly, when you get a chance, can you please update the above section quoted from the 2nd post on this thread as I believe some of that info is now out of date due to recent updates:-

eg

Planned features (no guarantees though, and don't ask for ETAs):

Infinite scroll (Desktop and dock)

Custom margins

Also, an update on your thoughts regarding some of the more recent Feature Requests on User Voice would be appreciated.
[Nova Launcher] floepie:
Question regarding reinstall post-ROM update:

Here's the scenario: Beta12 installed to /system. Beta13 updates to /data. Backup performed in app and with Titanium. Next, install new ROM. After restoring /data apps with Titanium, can I simply move Beta13 from /data to /system with Root Explorer and have my data remain intact?

In other words, what's the best way to reinstall Nova post ROM upgrade/update? Thanks...

Hi there Kevin.

Have a problem with trying to add a weather widget to my desktop.

Device Honor 8 european version with Android 7 non rooted, Nova Launcher 5.2 then 5.3

Now as I've said I cannot add a weather widget each time it's the same error/warning > Permission denied when trying to add widget..

This only happens with the standard weather widget.

Just to add after many attempts I did manage to get the weather widget on my desktop then it crashed my phone and went back to the original Launcher by Honor..

OS thre a work round to address this problem I'm having?

Thank you..
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Is it the stock honor 8 weather widget? If so then it most likely will only work on the stock honor 8 launcher. Samsung has the same issue as the widgets require the oms framework for the device to work. There is no workaround for this.

[Nova Launcher] Nyssa1104:
Yes it is the stock weather and thank you on a quick reply..

When you are on the last home screen (in my case, the only one) and you attempt to drag sideways, there is a white effect to show that there aren't more screens. Is it possible to remove that? [IMG="I have included an image showing the effect that I am talking about."]http://imgur.com/a/tzzda[/IMG] (imgur.com/a/tzzda)

Edit: There is an option to remove 'overscroll' for the drawer. Would love to have the option to do so for the desktop
[Nova Launcher] maybeme2:
Agree but probably won't happen.

So just block Internet access to Nova Launcher with a tool like Afwall and/or xprivacy.
[Nova Launcher] Vultuxx:
Tried this and works pretty well. Only suggestions would be to add effects for scrolling pages.
[Nova Launcher] Ramer:
With the latest update to the Sprint S8+, Samsung has changed the color of the Navbar to various shades of off white. Could a setting be added to Nova to give us options to change to any color again?

[Nova Launcher] Ramer:
Would you please tell me where in Nova settings that there is an option to change the Navbar colors? I don't see it. Thanks.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Dock settings. It can be linked to the dock background

—————Who am I doing this for, hey me or you? ————
[Nova Launcher] Ramer:
That doesn't do anything to the Navigation Bar. Just the dock. To be clear, Samsung just did an update that took away the ability to change navbar colors.
[Nova Launcher] madd0g:
You can't change that with a launcher.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Add setting dock overlays navbar like on the pixel launcher. Then your navbar will change color with your dock. You can also use an image as well

—————Who am I doing this for, hey me or you? ————
[Nova Launcher] Ramer:
Just curious, do you have the Galaxy S8+? I've tried all the dock settings, images etc. Nothing changes the Navbar.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
No S8, in nova settings under dock there is an option to draw under navigation bar

[Nova Launcher] Ramer:
Appreciate your help. Nothing works for me since updating to QFJ. This is just on the Home screen, it does change to whatever image or app I'm in when I open an app. Googling this subject brings up this subject since the update, so hopefully Samsung will give us back the color option that we had prior to QFJ.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
That isn't launcher dependent. Each app would need to have that built in as an option. Navbar color is controlled by each app, most just call for default navbar color as defined in system ui or framework.

Nova crashing after pushing home button

[IMG="Nova crash"]https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/YxfPatsbu_EqP3JXFMgFojowTZtIZldhirzH-WlrA8kmBUTMqTWSQr_NCQlCAmdCL75shMnbuibTWP0=w1360-h678-rw[/IMG]

I've been having problems for quite a few months now with Nova Launcher crashing. This occurs when I'm in other apps and click the home button to return to the home screen - simply touching the home button causes the "Unfortunately, Nova Launcher has stopped" error. The issue is not completely reproducible and is intermittent, but it happens several times a day. I'm on version 5.3, subscribed to the Nova beta, using a ZTE ZMax Pro (T-Mobile) on Android 6.0.1. If there are any other details I should provide please let me know. Is anyone else having similar problems at all?
[Nova Launcher] SuperSandro2000:
Never happened to me. And you should provide a log cat.

If I could I would like to request way to sort "normal" and work profile apps together and way to hide icon of work one without hiding "normal" one (or hide "normal" without hidin work one).

Right now if there are work profile apps they are in the end (e.g. when sorted by name) and when hiding work apps icon, normal is hidden to.

[Nova Launcher] Sr. Zé Alguém:
Have been testing Nova Launcher for a couple days. If it were as great as everybody says, I would have considered switching from my native TouchWiz... But... It simply doesn't allow me to organize Drawer apps with my own ordering. Not without paying Prime.

But also:

- Nova Settings app has some glitches where it disappears from Recent Apps without even being closed.

- Drawer/home screens can't be toggled by tapping or swiping over page indicator dots.

- Performance is the same as my native launcher.
[Nova Launcher] Ja_som:
"t simply doesn't allow me to organize Drawer apps with my own ordering. Not without paying Prime."

Nova does not have this feature

"- Nova Settings app has some glitches..."

yes, it disappears from the recent screen

"- Drawer/home screens...."

yes, it is not possible

"- Performance is the same..."

depends on how many widgets, shortcuts do you use, for me nova has good performance
[Nova Launcher] OnceAMatrixMan:
Stupid question - using Nova 5.4 prime beta. Do I need Tesla Unread? Seems like I don't, so it got me wondering why it's still around. Thanks.
[Nova Launcher] Ja_som:
AFAIK Tesla Unread is needed only when you use numeric badges, if you use dynamic or dots, you don't need it...
[Nova Launcher] topcaser:
Okay, I asked Nova support regarding hiding the navbar. They answered that they not really hide navbar on s8 but provided means to do this with third party apps. Something was broken on s8 obviously. Saying this, I personally use "custom navigation bar" together with Tasker to hide navbar when Nova is active. If there is someone interested, I can provide the Tasker profile

Gesendet von meinem XT1650 mit Tapatalk
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
The latest beta does allow hiding the nav bar on s8 but only if you have had the OTA manufacturer update to allow that.

Nova 5.4 beta 2.

Obviously this information has cone direct from the nova G+ community and is not NY personal opinion or answer.

I briefly tried the persistent search bar yesterday, but couldn't find any way to move it to the bottom of the homescreens (i.e. above the dock), so the two persistent areas were together. I gave up in the end, but as Chrome is in my dock (so available from any homescreen anyway) it's only ever one tap away to bring up the full app which strikes me as a better solution anyway. I might reconsider if the search bar was ever made movable.

Andre
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
There isn't any way to move the persistent search bar, that's why its called persistent.......it stays in one place :cyclops:

If you want to move the search bar around, use the Nova search bar that's in nova widgets, you can then set the style you want (pixel pill, rounded or rectangle) and you can put it on your screen where you want.......
[Nova Launcher] Prof. Yaffle:
Since the 5.4 betas I seem to have lost the ability to have a Playstore shortcut when pulling down on the app drawer. It used to appear next to Search Apps but now I can't even see an option for it
[Nova Launcher] white7561:
True. I'm Nova Prime user and I'm kinda disappointed to be honest
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
The developer removed this feature intentionally as you can now set a sesame shortcut for it.

The Nova team knows it's not been a popular move but they are really keen to get your feedback on these sesame shortcuts before making any decisions about reimplimenting the play store shortcut.

They have commented in other places they could put it back at a later date.
[Nova Launcher] sandfreak:
Try "Nova Action" under the widgets section.
[Nova Launcher] robertogl:
I think i've a problem with the latest beta on Nova, i would be glad if someone can test this and say to me if they have the same problem.

Basically, the first touch after unlocking the device isn't recognized. So if i turn off the screen while i'm on the home page (so Nova), when i turn on the screen and i press, for example, Twitter icon this will not open Twitter. Sometime i see the animation of the press, but the app doesn't open itself (of course not only Twitter, all apps). The second touch it's ok. Also it's ok if i wait some seconds before pressing the first time.

This happen only with Nova: if i turn off the screen while i'm reading Facebook, when i turn on the screen every press are ok.

Someone?
[Nova Launcher] SuperSandro2000:
Do you have a lock screen?
[Nova Launcher] robertogl:
Yes, i mean, i unlock the phone using the fingerprint scanner so i don't see any lock screen, but i've a pin code setted. So yes.
[Nova Launcher] SuperSandro2000:
Could not reproduce it even with no lock screen. Maybe doze is activated or you did something to your device or it is device specific. What device and ROM do you have?
[Nova Launcher] robertogl:
I thought the same thing so i disabled the battery optimization for Nova, but nothing changed. I'm running Android 7.1, OnePlus 5, stock rom. I'll ask also in the device forum then. Thanks!
[Nova Launcher] SuperSandro2000:
Doze and battery optimization are two things I think.

[Nova Launcher] Reechings:
Is there a way to have the app shortcuts work on long press in the app drawer but have it disabled to add the app to home screen? If I lock the home screen the app shortcuts don't work in app drawer any more. Also is there any way to blacklist what apps show up using sesame shortcuts when pressing the home button (app search). I tried blacklisting in the sesame shortcut app but that didn't effect the recent apps list.
[Nova Launcher] white7561:
I hope they can implement it again. As I don't want to buy sesame shortcuts. It can't search songs automatically on Poweramp or Spotify (only albums etc) so I rather not use it. Also the playstore button is so good for searching app without opening playstore first. Thanks
[Nova Launcher] andrewilley:
Yes, and I'd like the place where it is persistent to be at the bottom. :) Persistent means "always present", but does not imply where it should be always present. I'd just like it next to the other main persistent element, the dock.

I've turned it off now anyway - it was getting on my nerves and wasting space without seeming to serve any particularly useful purpose which tapping the Chrome icon (which is persistent at the bottom of my screen :) ) did not .

Andre
[Nova Launcher] droidcol:
I miss this feature too so much, hope they can get it back and realize that sesame shortcuts suck, despite what people says in the play store.
[Nova Launcher] bubba1601:
You mean you want your search bar and launcher looking like that supposed leaked new pixel launcher that was seen at Google OI this year?

I see.

That's great.

You know it was nothing official from Google and just something some geek had designed, the Nova G+ community got flooded with requests for that set up that the development team flatly turned down due to it being a mock up.
[Nova Launcher] andrewilley:
Never seen that, and no I'd prefer the dock to stay where it is at the bottom of the screen, and have the search bar located above it (between the dock and the main homescreen area) rather than at the top of the homescreen area. However it's a moot point now anyway as I've turned the search bar off.

[Nova Launcher] Blackeyed73:
Nova prime 5.3 + TeslaUnread on RR 7.1.2.

Some icons from app drawer cannot be placed on desktop, like YouTube, Gmail, Podcast Addict. Long press on it give just menu (On YT there: Trending, Subscription, Search) and nothing else happening. Other apps after long press are on home screen without problem.

What is going on, where is problem?
[Nova Launcher] ch3mn3y:
Long press the icon and when the menu shows up, move it in any direction.
[Nova Launcher] Blackeyed73:
Yes, I just figured out, after long press on app with submenus, keep pressing on and move icon, suddenly, desktop behind will appear like with other icons...

Tnx!
[Nova Launcher] Frances91:
Don't know if it's appropriate to put it this way, but glad to see I'm not the only one who prefers the old playstore shortcut in app drawer search bar over a third-party (please correct me about it if I'm wrong) application with a 14 day trial and permissions I'd prefer allowing teslacoil whose product I've been using for years. Unless Sesame is offered by Nova devs (even as a paid addon) I look forward to seeing the playstore search option restored in the upcoming builds.
[Nova Launcher] sinisin:
Do you honestly think the Nova team would put an app IN THEIR LAUNCHER, that's malicious or not on the up and up? Buy it or stop whining. Things change. Get with the times.
[Nova Launcher] white7561:
[emoji23][emoji23] . IM LITERALLY laughing reading this post ! . Some of us bought the Prime edition because we wanted more features as well! . If your point is like that, that means for example. I'm one of the Nova team. And I made paid options etc. And in times I just removed all of em. And just tell them to buy another app. Like WTF?
[Nova Launcher] sinisin:
Until you build the most popular launcher on Android I don't think you have any room to complain about anything it does or doesn't do. If you don't like it anymore, maybe get an iPhone. Itd seem to fit your IQ better, leave smart phones to smart people....
[Nova Launcher] white7561:
LOL. That sarcasm. [emoji23] Bruh. We literally complained the dev. To give back the feature. That WAS available. We're not requesting a NEW FEATURE.. lol. Oh yeah. If that's how you think (or u can say. YOUR IQ!) that means u can just totally rip off people who bought your apps [emoji23] SO UNPROFESSIONAL!
[Nova Launcher] zelendel:
No one forced you to update. Heck just revert to an older version.

Lol.so I just bought an app. And now I can't update becuz the feature that was in the app , is removed? Lol. If that is the case. Why am I even buying the key in the first place

So, w/o that button is not worth it?

[MENTION=3434179]sinisin[/MENTION] I have read (G+ Nova beta community), that you don't need to buy that app after 14 days, trial will continue. I will see, if it is true after 6 days.
[Nova Launcher] white7561:
I didn't say it's like not worth it. It's just upsetting how we bought the key for prime and what we got is stripped feature. Also. About the trial thing. I think it says about after the trial period it will show notification EVERY time u click the shortcuts
[Nova Launcher] Ja_som:
You said "Why am I even buying the key in the first place", that is the same for me as if you say it is not worth it now... Nova is worth the money, even if is not in sale...

And you did not pay for that feature, or it is in Prime only?

Dev can add/remove any feature from his app, maybe once he will add it back.
[Nova Launcher] white7561:
No. What I mean by that. Is IF the developer gonna strip more feature like they did now... Like why am I even buying the key in the first place? Knowing that every feature gonna be removed? . And second. It's not prime feature. But c'mon are the dev gonna remove it too for prime users?
[Nova Launcher] sinisin:
So according to all these tools crying about a ******* button, the 5 bucks they paid means they are in charge now. And god forbid progression. Let's just leave everything in the entire Android world exactly as it is so we don't upset people too stupid to figure out the new way. I paid 5 dollars for Nova 4 years ago. Submit developers! We must go backwards!
