Hey Kevin ... In setting up my HUBs layout I found that if I added more than 6 screens MinimalisticText would only show 1-6 in the nova actions jump category, however if I add a the jump activity to the desktop normally it shows all of them. Don't know if this happens with other apps( ie. this is a minimalistic text issue, or nova issue ) Just thought I'd mention it in case others saw. Maybe it's a sign that I should keep to 6 screens instead of my 8, lol...
[Nova Launcher] kravguy:
First, thanks for implementing the action to go directly to a home page. Been waiting for this for a while. Now if we can have an action to go directly to a tab, then I 'think' I'll have the final piece to setting up my screens/dock. Correct me if I'm wrong but currently I can set up however many tabs i want but can only see 3 in the app drawer. I also can't scroll through any that are not shown. Because of this, it seems having an action to display any tab is needed, or some other way to access all the tabs.
[Nova Launcher] RubenRybnik:
You should atleast start a uservoice request and see if you can garner support for it like I did for the desktop screen jump functionality. Kevin has shown great responsiveness to features that are known to be wanted by user votes( I personally love that system! )

Random FCs

Hi there,

I have one problems with Nova on my Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 and will be grateful if anyone could help me with it:

launcher randomly force closes - there is no specific notification, but when I try to get back to home screen, phone hangs up for 5 or 10 seconds with black screen and notification bar and then loads - I can see that Nova is reloaded, because I have to wait a bit to access app drawer
[Nova Launcher] LocutusEstBorg:
When I tap a folder in the dock, the icons flicker badly as the folder opens. This is with animations set to slow. With animations set to Nova, the icons simply disappear from the dock and appear in place in the opened folder.
[Nova Launcher] PollPixx:
Try resetting the Nova launcher set to default, that Mark switches off sometimes for a strange reason.

Tasker can't pick shortcuts, but you can enter action intents manually. For that you'd need to publish the parameters so we can enter them ourselves.
[Nova Launcher] rgawenda:
Tasker has a "Go home" action with a numeric parameter, that works with [some] other Launchers. I think he meant that.

I do it using Autoshortcut (free) with Tasker.

Nova Prime

@kevin

First of all thank you for the function to jump to another desktop.

I would like to buy the Prime. Can I use the beta 1.2.2 for the Prime too?
[Nova Launcher] djmcnz:
Yes you can.
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Shortcuts for tabs (and drawer folders) are planned. However you can see more than 3 tabs at a time in the drawer as long as the names are short enough, if not they will scroll.

This an issue with the Galaxy Note. I haven't been about to reproduce it but have heard a few reports and received some related logs. It seems to be a bug at the system level (probably hardware acceleration) more than the app, but hopefully there is something Nova can do differently to avoid or reduce the frequency of trigging the system bug. If you notice any pattern to cause it to reproduce let me know.

I'll take a look. The "Nova" speeds and higher are intentionally bypassing part of the folder animation as it's subtle except when it's miss behaving where it's annoying. I'd rather "Stock" behave like the stock launcher, but may change my mind on that in this particular case. Hopefully I can just tune it a bit further and keep it.

I'll add support for this in 1.2.1 final.
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
(I realize my previous post makes it sounds like I had a fair amount of work to do before 1.2.1 final, I actually had already done those things and was testing the final build already. Testing went well)

Kev - would it be possible for you to add an intent so I can push users directly to the Look and Feel view? If not, that's cool. It's just nice to redirect people automatically, especially when they are unfamiliar.
[Nova Launcher] ragnarokx:
Just updated from 1.2 Prime to 1.2.1 Prime, and home screen transitions now stutter slightly when swiping to different screens. I'm using the exact same settings (restored backup in Nova settings). Galaxy Nexus CM9. Reverted back to 1.2 and transitions are smooth again.
[Nova Launcher] ridearoundsolo:
Hmm maybe a new feature could be adjusting the grid size of the app drawer, because I personally think the apps are spaced too apart for my taste, its just an idea, I like the 5x4 grid I just wish the apps could be a bit closer together, to be honest I'm only saying this because sense 4.0 icons are ugly looking and if they were closer they would look a bit better, anyways this my favorite launcher

Any luck with the things from my prior post? I tried the 4-click color switch and it was still there as of the current update, not sure if you fixed the rest.
[Nova Launcher] PollPixx:
@Kevin With latest update I constantly get a black screen when I leaving an app. Nova as default launcher switches off constantly. I have to wait for about 6 seconds before I can do something. Please fix this as it is not working this way. Thanks

AFAIK that inversed colors comes from the kernel..I have read somewhere that someone developed that kind of feature..:D And it is actually used by 4-clicking home button. It should probably function with other apps too (?)
[Nova Launcher] brunoisa10:
using the free version

Thank you kevin for your "Jump to Page"

so now with Lock Desktop and Jump to Page Nova is at the same level as Apex ;)

I really love your Color theme settings , very nice and all is changed , no need to have a theme for that.

Is it possible to have a few settings about the colors of the icon text ? (on homescreen, on Folders and on the Drawer)

here is the uservoice link , I've used 3 votes on it :)

http://feedback.novalauncher.com/fo...ity-to-change-the-color-of-icon-names-similar

it would be great for you and dennisxl to make a team so the new fusion could be The Killer :)

I have exactly the same response time with Nova or Apex on my Gnex

so switching from one to the other 2 or 3 times a day till you've released your "Jump to Page" version

just realized that the Vertical Line on Landscape mode was the Dock separator so I have unticked and it's perfect because i'm using the Launcher without Dock
[Nova Launcher] wedg11383:
Widget stretching.

I am posting for the third time about my strange display issues. I first posted that, when I hide the dock, the widgets I am using become stretched. I have since realized the entire screen shifts downwards and stretches. When I use the dock as overlay, the widgets and icon are always at that downward shift and stretched, so they overlap with the dock.

I am surprised that there is so much focus on "HUBS" and advanced features when something this basic is not working properly. Any comments or help would be appreciated.

I have tested it on Apex and it is behaving as expected there. The difference to me it seems, is that Apex keeps the top row where it is and increases the space between each icon when the dock is toggled off, whereas it seems Nova actually distorts the widgets and icons when the dock is toggled off instead of changing the spacing between icons.
[Nova Launcher] wilcomir:
I think this behaviour is intended.

V
[Nova Launcher] wedg11383:
That would be interesting. If that is indeed the case, would it be possible to have an option to not stretch the icons and widgets then.
[Nova Launcher] badams1:
Something went wrong with this launcher starting with the June 8 release. It was rock solid for me up to that point and since then my phone doesn't like it at all. This includes the most recent release.

Problems I consistantly saw were widgets duplicating and stacking, widgets not loading at all, and constant redraws.

I have since moved on to Apex. If I could get a copy of the pre June 8 Nova from somewhere I would prolly go back to it...I actually liked it better than Apex.
[Nova Launcher] Po0yAn:
There's definitely something wrong with the 1.2.1 version. Lags everywhere from swapping home screens to going in and out of app drawer. I'm back to v 1.2 and everything is great again.

[Nova Launcher] dmonzel:

[Nova Launcher] chickentuna:
I am experiencing the same problem as well. Only workaround is disabling infinite scroll or disabling Icon labels. Any fix for this? I would love to have infinite scroll enabled.

I have 3 pages of home screen, about 5 widgets active and 6x5 Columns/rows if that matters. This is on nova launcher prime 1.2.1, Stock galaxy note
[Nova Launcher] Po0yAn:
It doesn't matter how many Widgets and home screens I have, when you upgrade it and you notice lag and sluggishness with the same setting and you downgrade to the last version and everything is on again it means it doesn't have to do anything with settings. I have 14 Widgets in 3 screens on top of LWP and v1.2 is running rock solid. I had this set of homes for a while now.

[Nova Launcher] bozzykid:
I ended up disabling the app for now. I have 3 screens and 2 widgets and noticed a lot of lag as soon as I upgraded to the latest version. Just unlocking my Galaxy Nexus resulted in a huge delay. Going back to stock for now and the issues are gone.
[Nova Launcher] beluthius:
Well, on my end i have a Galaxy S and no proplems at all with the latest version of nova launcher prime. Seems that all devices are very very different, no device is like another. I think it is very difficult to point out, what exactly causes the lag. Like i said, no probs on my end...
[Nova Launcher] RubenRybnik:
You can acheive this by setting up MissedIt to monitor your twitter app, expose the variable in missed it, then setup nova to use missed it instead of Tesla Unread. For details google for MissedIt apps setup instructions, once that's done the Nova part is basically just selecting Missed it in "Unread" settings and your done.

[Nova Launcher] jasopan:
Thank you :)

EDIT: 2 things,

-Could you add % on the transparency of the app drawer? So I know what I've had it set to

- Is there a 'downloaded' drawer tab that I can enable with Prime? It's a bit easier for those who haven't got prime (don't have to scroll through less often used apps)
[Nova Launcher] DesignGrits:
I think the two things that Nova is lacking is the themes section needs to be more user friendly. Also they need to add portrait and landscape grid adjustments. Currently there is only a option to set portrait grid adjustments. Otherwise its really solid, love the new home screens action widgets. :)
[Nova Launcher] :
Hi,

The app drawer transparency already exist in Nova settings/Drawer/Background Transparency.
[Nova Launcher] jasopan:
Nono I meant if there could be a % text added underneath, so when I am setting the transparency I know what % it is!

And from my other post just to clarify two questions

- When I ask the app drawer to sort out my apps into "downloaded" it keeps going back to "all" after opening and closign the drawer a couple of times.

- Is there a way to stop scrolling from the "app" tab into the widget ta without hiding the widget tab?
[Nova Launcher] Staggers:
To answer your first question, I don't know if this is foolproof, but I've created a tab called Groups (you can call yours whatever you like) on which I've created folders for various types of apps. I still have the All tab and the Widgets tab, but I put the Groups tab first, so that's the one that always appears when I enter the app drawer, with the other two just a swipe away.

Nova Settings - Drawer - Drawer Groups and drag and drop them as you please.

[Nova Launcher] cfbauer:
I'm on Nova Prime 1.2.1, and I've noticed whenever I change a setting like display brightness or audio level using a widget, the whole homescreen reloads / redraws. It can take as long as a second or two, which becomes quite annoying. Sounds like this is an issue with this version of the app and hasn't always been the case.

I'm on an EVO LTE with stock Sense, if that helps.

I haven't had an issue when changing volumes and I have my brightness down at 30% and usually just leave it there.

Its just strange, its like it has a memory issue or something because it doesn't always do it when leaving applications, but it seems to restart/redraw when something memory intense is closing.

I'm hoping for another beta that might clean it up.

1.2.2beta1 June 28 2012

(Many changes, might want to hold out until beta2)

Preliminary Jellybean fixes (Widgets in drawer WITHOUT ROOT, fix drawer labels, fix defaults on Nexus 7, use phone layout on 7" tablet (matches stock JB))

Much faster load times (was working on prior to IO, not 100% complete yet but shouldn't FC)

Fix FCs and other misc fixes

I'm attending IO and busy. Beta has not been as tested as I'd like before making public and if there's an issue it could be until after IO before I get a chance to address it. Feel free to hang out until beta2.

However I know many Nova users are extreme early adopters and will be using Jellybean already or very shortly. Though Nova 1.2.1 worked on Jellybean, 1.2.2beta1 is a better user experience there. Plus the faster load times are awesome.

You could just grab the app from the play store and update it through Nova's own update feature (enable beta option).

[Nova Launcher] PollPixx:
@kevin

The reason nova launcher relaunches is a question for me. As you can see at the screen shot the active services running at my sgs3 is nova for a minute and than it disappears. Than it is saying not active and pushing the home button will give me a black screen for 5 seconds, the time it takes to restart nova launcher I assume. Nova launcher is just quitting all the time. Can you look into that. I bought the prime version as I really like the launcher apart from this issue. Thanks a lot.

For ICS devices the play store shows 1.2.1, which is a week or so old and the latest stable version. Beta is from midnight last night and can be gotten from change log - menu beta. The date on the market must be because I published the beta to jellybean devices, but not ics devices as its still a beta.

Cool...and thanks.

I have been using Apex for the last couple weeks because I started having issues with Nova on the June 8 update (stacking widgets, reloads, etc.) However I have re-downloaded and updated to the newest beta and so far all those issues have gone away and things are running very smoothly so far. Thanks for all ur hard work.

Hi there...

I have been an ADW launcher EX before but after a few tries with Nova I have started to like it, rescent fixes and updates has just made it even better. There is only one thing left that I realy miss from ADW L EX and it is the possebility to change the size of icons. Dock bar/desktop looks like crap with thouse huge icons please fix this and it will be a solid 5/5.

Great job with this.

Widgets are separate from the launcher - if you have a particular clock you are looking for, you should check the Play store. Otherwise the launcher is only going to show you what is already installed on your phone.

Prime Upgrade- This app is incompatible

Have a Samsung SII, GT-I9100. Rooted with RootBox which came installed with Nova Launcher. Tried to buy the Prime version on Google Play (on website as I have a US based account) but says 'This app is incompatible with your CTM Samsung GT-I9100. CTM Samsung GT-I9100

How can the regular version be working and the Prime not? Have not had this problem before...

Some rooted devices don't show up on the website as compatible. The site checks for a device ID of sorts, and if your ROM has bits and pieces from another system, the site won't recognize it. If you're in the US, why not just download Prime from the Play Store?
