Hello everybody.

I love this launcher and I use it since the first minute ☺

I just want to mention that the tesla unread plugin cause FC when selecting Gmail. I am on N4 with 5.1.1 and am experiencing this since the material update in Nova and on every version of Android with 5.X.X

Is this a confirmed bug?

Can u add galaxy s6 animation on this launcher ? Really love that animation
[Nova Launcher] Pfeffernuss:
While it worked as it should on my Nexus7 on the G3 indeed a FC was the result when clicking on GMail in Tesla.

However removing the app and reinstalling it did the trick (over here). That is: no more FC but still no message count on the icon though :cool:

There's no problem with discussing new beta releases here of course, and referring to new features and asking how to use them, etc. Even asking if other people are seeing the same issues that you are.

But there's little point in trying to actually report bugs or requesting/demanding features here, as the dev does not read this forum any more.

For those of you with high RAM usage:

try disabling "ok google" hotword detection in Nova settings. For me it brought RAM usage from around over 300MB (!) down to 130MB. Still high but at least less than half compared to before.
[Nova Launcher] AakashKaushal98:
Hehhee my idea.
[Nova Launcher] adl:
Yes, sorry, should have give you some credit for. [emoji5]
[Nova Launcher] AakashKaushal98:
No bro...doing well job. Also try to disable swipe down gesture from accessibility. ..it will dicrease more ram.
[Nova Launcher] adl:
But gestures are such a nice thing to have, especially with such a large screen like the Nexus 6. And with RAM usage like that (around 130MB) I can live. Maybe Andy will still be able to fix whatever it is causing.
[Nova Launcher] AakashKaushal98:
Ok bro thats your wish...if u like this feature..then use it.
[Nova Launcher] yomiguy:
I also realised about this problem. I look into nova info and the consumption was related to accessibility stuff, near 200 mb! WTF! So I decided to remove nova from accessibility, losing expand notification by gestures but gaining much more ram, having around 1gb free now...

Muy feeling with the phone is even better now.

Just as a counter-example, I have that gesture enabled and Nova is only taking up 57 MB. I disabled the gesture and it increased to 62MB before I put it back. I'm just trying to point out that recommendation might not be universally beneficial.
[Nova Launcher] AakashKaushal98:
But in my case it only takes 30mb without enabling swipe down..but with swipe down,it takes almost 70 mb...
[Nova Launcher] Pfeffernuss:
This I can concur. Restarted Nova, memory use 73MB. Disabled all gestures. Restarted Nova again, memory use 42MB.

I find this really odd (why would a gesture take up memory in the first place!) but indeed it is the case :eek:
[Nova Launcher] AakashKaushal98:
This only happens in lollipop but in kk..there is nothing like this. . I think lollipop works in art (android runtime)whereas kk works in dalvik mode.....there are some changes thatz why nova added swipe down feature in accessibility but earlier it was nothing like this..
[Nova Launcher] Pfeffernuss:
Swiping down works just fine without activating the feature in accessibility :good:
[Nova Launcher] AakashKaushal98:
Bro as u r stable user..but in the latest betas it is removed...see the ss.
[Nova Launcher] Pfeffernuss:
LOL, using all latest versions on all apps on my phones and tablet. Nova Beta version 29 it is :cool:
[Nova Launcher] AakashKaushal98:
Yes it is 29 beta..device is s4.
[Nova Launcher] Pfeffernuss:
I am using Beta 29. Gestures work fine. Accessibility is off.

You have a Samsung device, that's the whole issue. Been discussed numerous times already.
[Nova Launcher] AakashKaushal98:
But in mine...u can see the truth also if i disable nova launcher feom accessibility then it will not work but if i enable this then it will work. .your device??
[Nova Launcher] Pfeffernuss:

[Nova Launcher] AakashKaushal98:
Ooo..bcz of samsung. This is the worst android modified by samsung till now. .heating prob.,hanging prob,memory leak bug..etc. by the way thanks bro. :):)
[Nova Launcher] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
It's a touchwiz issue, as always. On my galaxy S4 active stuck on stock lollipop I have the gestures/accessibility thing like you said. But on my Tab 4 running CM 12.1 it doesn't come up at all. Just one of the countless reasons to hate touchwiz and ditch it for an AOSP ROM at the first opportunity
[Nova Launcher] yomiguy:
Yep, it seems the accessibility stuff is required just in some phones due to limitation of lollipop. Those of you who don't need to activate nova in accessibility are lucky, but I prefer not having those gestures than sacrificing near 200 mb just to expand notifications...

Keep pushing
[Nova Launcher] AakashKaushal98:
Exactly what i said..
[Nova Launcher] khaytsus:
Personally I suspect it's simply because Nova is restarting when they make those changes....
[Nova Launcher] Pfeffernuss:
No. As has been said already:

Gestures on. Restart Nova. Usage 70MB.

Gestures off. Restart Nova. Usage 40MB.

Repeat X times. X times same result.

Hey,

So I've just started using Nova Prime on my Oneplus with CM12.1 nightlies.

I tried to import my current home screens from Trebuchet but it didn't recognise any of them so I've created them manually in Nova.

I'm not trying to insert my 'National Rail' widget (which has worked fine with Trebuchet and Google Now launcher, but when I try to drag it from 'widgets' to the homescreen, I get an error messaging saying 'app isn't installed'. No further information.

I'm still able to open the app and navigate around and if I switch back to Trebuchet launcher the widget works fine. Any idea what might be the cause of this? I've deleted and reinstalled the app and rebooted the phone but no change.

Not a single problem with the stable 4.0 release except for the same minor issue I had during the beta. On my stock TouchWiz lollipop GS4, the Slide Up drawer animation no longer takes the 'Look & Feel -> Animation Speed' into account. Even on the slowest option, the slide up animation is very fast. It also used to slide up the entire app drawer. Now, only the app icons slide up and the tabs above fade in. I realize this is a minor issue, but I'd love to see it changed/fixed to like it was previously.

The previous material beta wallpaper picker was a lot better too. I much preferred it being a list.

I downloaded v4 from the website and installed it but the inability to have an empty desktop page is a killer for me.

How many bundled wallpapers do you guys get? I only got the orange one, but I saw from the screenshot on Google Play, it has three new wallpapers.

Is it because I'm still running Android 4.1.2 ?

And sometimes when I view the Apps Drawer, the page got displayed incorrectly (attached screenshot).
[Nova Launcher] HDFLucky:
Long-press on a home screen. The widget drawer settings for horizontal or vertical are still there, along with a new option for "grouped," which is my new favorite. It'll take a while to get used to the new way, but it actually makes more sense - app drawer is now just for apps (folders and user-defined tabs are still there), and widgets are now accessed in a more standard way and not duplicated in two places.
[Nova Launcher] xda2014:
Long press gets me to the "Desktop is locked" prompt.

If I unlock the desktop then I get the widgets icon.

Is it possible to get the widgets icon/shortcut on the home screen ?

Can't set Nova as default launcher

I've justed update my phones to the latest version of Nova. Everything worked fine on Galaxy S II but on my Honor 6 I can't set Nova as default Launcher. When I open Nova settings and tap on "... set as default ..." I go back to the stock phone launcher. How can I set Nova as default (also with a third part app) ?

Thanks in advance

Settings, manage apps, default apps (bottom left), launcher and set your default launcher
[Nova Launcher] hauhauhau7:
the folder's icons on the desktop are much smaller than the single icons in the new version, i'm back to 3.3.....this was the only thing i was worried... and i'm really dissapointed. Another thing, when I use the app search function,the keyboard doesn't retract itself every time i press the home button.
[Nova Launcher] Pfeffernuss:
When using three apps in a folder the total height of the stacked icons is about the same as one regular icon. I am not too worried about this :good:

Same problem here with my Honor 6 and EMUI 3.0. I had to go back to Nova 3.3 to set it as the default launcher until this is fixed.

[Nova Launcher] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Alright I'll do it. I honestly don't mind the update. Granted I had used the beta for a short while, so I knew exactly what was coming. Is it my favorite, am I enthusiastic about the new look? No. But it's still early on in the new stable build, maybe things will change. But even if not, I don't for a second believe that these changes are so drastic, so detrimental that it's worth spamming a thread the dev won't even see for three straight pages then running for the hills. Ahhh screw it what do I know? Make sure to savage me for having the wrong opinion lol I don't mind

Hi, can someone confirm?

I am on #materinova30 and when I set an image as a wallpaper, it's image quality becomes low... I returned on 3.3 and setting the image on that version comes back to normal. I use Portrait on setting the image in 3.3... While I just use center on #materinova30 (cause I have no idea on how to do a Force Portrait Set on the latest version....)

Is this issue also appears on other device? Thanks...

That's only for the icons in the drawer, it doesn't affect the tabs at the top?
[Nova Launcher] baltics:
I have answered three points. I could answer more. I used most of the beta versions of this development and it took me a long time to discover the full extent of the customisation available.

I changed to the stable version 4 yesterday.

Many of us on BlissPop use it.

Just two customisations are

1) in advanced -- aggressive desktop

2) in app & widget drawers, set background to clear, the home screen wallpaper then appears in the Apps Drawer.

[Nova Launcher] Bingley:
Personally, I think the whole 'whitening' of Lollipop is terrible, and material design could have been so much nicer in general, a lot of apps missed an opportunity to do it nicely (ie whatsapp). Nova, I'm afraid, is the same. 3.3 absolutely nailed it, it kept out of the way, fit into any setup, and was still on the way up. Now, for me, it's backup, restore 3.3, restore settings, and disable update. And check out Apex or others.

[Nova Launcher] jazzespresso:
I love Nova, but Samsung's new irritation of TouchWiz launcher start to grown on me lately, don't take me wrong, but they did some good improvements, we have to give them credit for that. I especially love how new (S6) touchwiz folders looks, it looks very nice, better than old ugly app folder than Luncher 3 base (thus Nova).

Another thing I don't like about Nova is when you setup home screen (with widgets, etc) on portrait mode, then switch to landsacape, Nova takes quite a bit of time to render the home screen on landscape mode, and once it does, all widgets on the screen looks all squeezed, tiny. This gets even worst if you have many stuff on home screen...this is always a problem...

[Nova Launcher] guitardoc64:
If there was either a split to Nova classic and Nova material or the option to use the classic design I would personally be happy. For me, the changes to the UI are the deal breaker and the material design is less of a problem since I look at those menus less often.
[Nova Launcher] HDFLucky:
Don't know if this has already been answered but I checked all Nova activities and no, there isn't any obvious way of setting a shortcut directly to the widget drawer. If you think about it though, this makes a certain degree of sense, .since locking the desktop is intended to prevent homescreen changes,and the widget dialog is intended to add to the homescreen.

Ironically, there is an activity (com.android.launcher3.LauncherWallpaperPickerActivity) that can be set as a shortcut to get directly to the wallpaper chooser (both it and widget drawer are inhibited when desktop is locked).
[Nova Launcher] SyCoREAPER:
Have to say the final build is a lot better than all of the betas.

Glad they ultimately decided to Rebase on top of Launcher3 like I suggested/hoped
[Nova Launcher] didicola:
you even changed the wallpaper selection to much worse way besides all the others back to 3.3 so :(
[Nova Launcher] mistermojorizin:
As I previously reported with the betas, I have am issue where a shortcut to secure settings action stops working after nova is restarted. The press function that is, the swipe function still works so I've been using this as a workaround but was hoping it would get fixed before the final release. Also, how do I get rid of the white background in the swipe down to search in the drawer? It doesn't work with my transparent icon scheme very well.

Otherwise, I'm very happy with it, been using prime since 2011 and will continue to do so
