The home button. Is rally laggy fort my Nexus 4. For both paranoid android and cyanogenmod. Reverting to version 2.1 fixes it. Is there a better place to report this?
[Nova Launcher] digitallysick:
The question is why? Why can't Nova support other phones, besides the galaxy s4? Whats the technical reason? I would think a stock rom, on the Nexus devices would be better to work with than the Gs4 with touchwiz...
[Nova Launcher] DeMi-GoD:
Nova launcher does have transparent notification bar. At least Nova prime does..

[Nova Launcher] catman51:
Because the status bar is part of the operating system, not the launcher.
[Nova Launcher] hawkwind212:
I got NOVA prime, will you kindly show me how to activate the transparent status bar? I'm sure there are others that are dying to know.

Did you made a typo error? Notice I said Apex launcher made the transparent status bar only for the S4 owners. I didn't say anything about NOVA launcher.

P. S. Just to clarify a thing or two, I don't want nor do I care about NOVA launcher having a transparent status bar. NOVA is fine as it is right now. I got it for its simplicity and speed. And yes, I had the transparent notification turned on in my launcher, it's an option that came with my ROM Slimbean.

I don't have a large amount of apps installed (around 70) but since I updated to version 2.1.1 I started getting a very annoying bug in the app drawer.

It seems the icons I put inside folders are being removed from their folders and being placed back at the drawer. It happened 3 times already in about 1 week. Same kind of thing happened to a moded touchwiz launcher I used on a gingerbread rom a couple of years ago.

Anyone else getting this type of bug?

BTW, I'm using a GT-I9000B with CM10.1.

Regarding the above screenshot, the option for show notification bar unticks itself regularly across all my devices.
[Nova Launcher] hawkwind212:
Which version of NOVA are your running? I do not have that option in my look and feel menu, and I'm running the latest one in play store 2.1.1.

---------- Post added at 12:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 AM ----------

No, the latest version been running as r as clockwork on mine. So much so that I go bored, went and got apex launcher, which caused my kernel to panic and crashed my phone. Back to your questions, I had those experience with older version of NOVA, but not lately. I do however had similar problem in adw launcher, which is a launcher similar to NOVA but in serious need of an update. It seems lately people with problems like yours all have newer model of phone. So far I hadn't seen anyone on this thread came up with a working solution to your problems yet. Therefore you may just have to wait for the next update to fix your problem. Actually, i heard the older version doesn't cause the problems you described, you may want to install the older version till the next update.

Weird! :confused:

I have Nova Prime v2.1.1 and don't have an option in my look and feel section for a transparent status bar either!

Maybe that other dude photoshopped the option into his screenshot?
[Nova Launcher] Terminator19:
Since we are now talking about the notification bar, I will post my question again since it never got answered when I last posted! :p :( (like 7 months ago)

With one of the earlier versions, the developer added an option to be able to use the semi transparent notification bar on the sense V4 HTC phones without needing root (the stock sense launcher had the semi transparent bar by default), however, that option was removed a version or two later? Why was this done as it worked perfectly well on my stock non rooted one s :confused:

Badly want this back!

EDIT:

I don't have that option as posted in this screenshot

[Nova Launcher] hawkwind212:
Like those of you that are transparent envy, I'm dying to know where that person got that option from. I used the beta too and that didn't have it either, will somebody care to explain if that option is real?

---------- Post added at 02:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 PM ----------

I don't think that person posted the screen shot was using the older versions. He said it like as a matter of fact that the launcher had a transparent status bar. So he's either playing a joke or he's got hold a special edition of NOVA launcher.
[Nova Launcher] NMarco:
nova for me it's perfect, but one thing that I'm find is the search app like spotlight. Can you insert this function?
[Nova Launcher] carlos67:
Maybe he is a private beta tester for [MENTION=4781728]Kevin[/MENTION]?
[Nova Launcher] bjbinc:
I had the option on TW ROM, but when I switched to liquid ROM it disappeared
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I doubt it. I'm in the beta test group too, and we haven't seen a private release since Google changed their policy about updating outside of the Play Store.

That's because TW and Liquid have completely different SystemUI and frameworks files. TW supports transparency... Liquid (which is based on CM) does not. The transparency issue that everyone seems to be interested in is completely ROM dependent. Either your ROM supports it, or it doesn't... Nova cannot create a function that the firmware doesn't support.
[Nova Launcher] bjbinc:
Yah I know that. My point was that the option DOES exist...people were acting like the guy had photoshopped the pic
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Ah, gotcha... Yeah, I don't think most people have the time to Photoshop a screenshot, just to mess with people on Xda, lol.
[Nova Launcher] hawkwind212:
I'm running slimbean and I have the transparent status bar on, but I've never seen that option inside of any of my launchers (adw, apex, holo, next 3D, and nova). Perhaps it's hardware dependent as well? Such as case with Apex launcher, it only shows the transparent option to people with S4 and HTC phones.
[Nova Launcher] Starymari:
Yes, I maybe remember seeing something about it on Nova for Samsung Galaxy S3 users a long time ago and that may be something else. Regardless, whoever is making a fuss about it, just flash a ROM that has that option. If it doesn't have it now but you think it did before, I'm sure it's gone for a reason.

What is the home page structure?

I absolutely love this launcher. Don't know what I would do without it.

And of course, have the pro version.

I was using 5 home pages until just now decided to add a 6th.

When I added the 6th page by tapping on the plus icon, it somewhat rearranged my pages. Which is no problem, but trying to get them to scroll through in the order I want wasn't easy.

I fumbled and fumbled to try to get them into the order that I want so that I can tap the homepage and go to the page number 1 and then scroll to the right and go to page number 2 etc.

Could someone tell me the best way to organize my home pages such that I can accomplish that easily?

Thanks.

Having page previews shown, tap and hold that little green tick to the page you want to be main.

[Nova Launcher] ajua:
I'm been using Nova Prime with an HTC One and I absolutely love this launcher. Recently I started adding swipe-up actions to my home screen shortcuts to manage activities like Foursquare checkin, compose Tweet with Falcon Pro or the official Twitter Client, creating a new task, etc.

I can't find a way to make a shortcut/activity for posting a status update with Facebook using the activities listed. They show a message "this app is not installed". The only one I can use is the Facebook for HTC Sense (it has 2 activities listed) which works but it's a themed composer window and not the one from the official app. In this one, we need to choose where to post it, wall, friends wall, etc.

Can anyone point me in the right direction here? What can I do to make the Facebook activities work and not show that "this application is not installed"? Thanks in advance.

I have installed nova launcher in my s4.

I use the case s-view, and chosen in the menu of nova to hide the bar of tasks automatic. If the bar hides and I close the s-view, the icons of wifi, telephone, etc they do not appear, (clock and date appears) but if for example I leave on screen the app whatsapp (that always leaves ON taskbar) and I close the s-view , icons are shown.

There is algun way of which the icons appear always with the bar of tasks conceals automatic and the closed s-view?

2 cools features that i thought might be a good idea... one that I have never seen before so it a be unique

1. Unread count size

2. Widgets in the app drawer... We can group apps would be cool to add a widget to the top of these groups?
[Nova Launcher] denzel09:
N2 is already present in Lab setting.
[Nova Launcher] luckyconverter:
Uhhh yep.

Perhaps you didn't read through my question very well.

The question was not where is the settings located as I clearly found it in order to add an additional home screen.

The question is what is the strategy of organizing them such that I can create them in sequence order.

Example: If you look at the configuration of six home screens you will see they are organized from top to bottom two on a row. So let's name of them top row one and two. Middle row three and four. Bottom row five and six.

The middle row left hand side (number three) is the main screen. I want the screen that I want to go there.

Dragging the screens around on that setting page does not seem to have a logical method to it. You move one to another location and they all shift.

So my question is… What is the structure of how these home screens work. What is the easy way to get the screens into the position I want them in in sequential order.

This showed up on my sprint gs3 on Stock Touchwiz while using nova prime and any other ROM I would run on it. Then it started showing up on my touchwiz launcher with just the blue outline around an app. One time I reported this on a thread, not this and told I was crazy and it was just me.
[Nova Launcher] killchain:
I don't know if I've picked this up before, but has someone experienced wallpaper scroll jumping on homescreen when Nova's DPI is changed? I've got mine at 225 DPI / 600P and it's noticeable that when I go from last to first homescreen, there's a 'jump' by a few pixels - i.e. the wallpaper scrolls normally (together with the left/right swipe) at first, but after finishing the animation, it jumps left/right by 5-10 pixels; that jump happens at the exact same time the page scroll indicator jumps to left or right.

Need some help with Nova Luncher prime

Hi,

I love Nova Launcher. The Galaxy s4 (AT&T) is my first android and I love it along with the launcher. I am having a small problem though. I wanted to upgrade to AT&T's latest patch (to be able to move apps to the sd card). After a few failed attempts, I unrooted and installed the stock rom. Everything was fine, the upgrade worked at that point. I noticed Nova Launcher was acting funny...I would move apps into folders but then they would disappear. I uninstalled and reinstalled Nova. Imported my Touchwiz launcher settings, set it all back up the way I liked. Backed up the setup. I restarted the phone later. When I did, and every time I do, I get a Nova Launcher error and I have to reselect it as the default launcher and install the backup....then everything works fine. If I don't install the backup, Nova acts like it did earlier...not showing all the apps I have in folders and disappearing apps from folders. I have sent in the error logs when I have restarted and got the error. I get the error every time I restart.

Any advice?

Thanks.

i have loved nova launcher since the day i tried it. i think it is hands down the best option out there, as far as speed, smoothness and features offered. that being said, i have two problems at this time. one of my favorite apps titanium backup recently let me down, by allowing my backup to disappear. so when trying to reinstall my nova launcher prime, which i paid for in the play store, i continually get an error. the error i recieve says, "unknown error code during application install: "-24". "

every time i try to load prime, even though play store lists it as "purchased", i continually get this error. can anyone offer any advise?

second, the feature lacking from nova launcher pro, is the fact that when i switch from horizontal to vertical style in the app. drawer, the infinite scroll stops working. this is really nerve racking. why does infinite scroll work in horizontal, but not in vertical? am i doing something wrong, because this just doesn't make sense to me. it should work with both, as it is a option listed for both. thanks!

Nova on HTC One and Google Apps

I tried searching and couldn't find this issue anywhere. I've noticed that on my HTC One (stock, no root) that whenever I open a Google app, such as G+ or Gmail, that when I hit the back button or the home button the Sense launcher opens instead of Nova (free, 2.1.1). What's strange is that it doesn't happen every time and I haven't been able to pin it down to what exactly causes it. I've turned on Aggressive Desktop and haven't seen it happen again, but I thought I'd ask to see if that is a known issue or is this why Aggressive desktop is in there in the first place?
[Nova Launcher] rashidkhan:
I had that problem, its a bug a lot of people face but no response from developer & no bug acknowledgement so far. Apparently older very 2.1 is fine, so you can either downgrade to 2.1 or leave Nova & use whatever is the stock launcher with your ROM untill next Nova version (thats what i did) or wait until this bug is fixed!

Back button not going to Nova in odd instance

I also tried looking for this bug and this person's submission resembled mine. As far as mine is concerned, this only happens when I use the RAM Manager on my (stock, non-rooted) Sprint Galaxy S4. Here are the steps I take to consistently reproduce this:

Hold down the Home key

Select the RAM Manager button (bottom left-most icon that looks like a pie chart)

If I either select the option to "Clear memory" and hit the back button OR hit simply just hit the back button, I get sent to the default Samsung launcher screen and not the Nova launcher screen

If I hit the home button, I get sent back to Nova launcher (as it should). I tried various other aspects of the system settings menu and all return me to the Nova launcher when I hit either the back or home button. This seemingly only occurs in the system's RAM Manager app.

Sprint did release an update yesterday, or the day before, (still 4.2.2) to version MF9 (kernel 3.4.0-953334) and I'm more apt to say it was something in this update that is causing this weird issue on Nova. Just to make sure it wasn't a weird upgrade bug, I blew the phone away and restored to factory default and this behavior still occurs.

My apologies if this is the incorrect forum to post this to, please direct me to the proper venue to report this as a (possible) bug. I will try activating the Aggressive Desktop feature to see if that resolves this.

There's no doubt NovaLauncher is the best launcher I have tested, not to mention its awesome features, and most of all

it is so lite and small memory footprint..

BUT one thing that I keep on using the stock launcher is this small UI indicator or what is it called...

Is there a way to remove it manually? or maybe took it out on next beta release? that would be great..

and by the way, I bought the prime to support the devs for this awesome work..

Thanks and looking forward for a fix or small update maybe..

Scrapped my previous message... Just realized the drop down menu shows up no matter where you tap. Oops.
