Not really. Not totally transparent like the KitKat launcher on Nexus 5.

The transparency option is selected in the "look and feel" section.

Nova can't control the SystemUI... That's completely the job of your ROM. If you're having issues with the menu soft key not displaying properly, I'd suggest leaving a screenshot and a question about it in the CM thread. :)

Nova Prime - Note 3 Weather widget issues

Just got a Note 3 and installed NOVA Prime. Having issues with any weather widget crashing. Have to reboot phone to fix. Seems to be happening when phone goes into deep sleep.

What is really weird is I cannot find the 4x2 "stock" weather widget in Nova! A 3x2 widget shows up, that is only a picture of a cloud. In the stock launcher only the 4x2 weather widget shows up.

I wanted to try the stock weather widget in NOVA to see if that crashes, but can't.

Any ideas? Definitely a bug in Nova why the stock widget shows up as 3x2.

There are several Sony widgets that are supposed to be exclusive to Xperia Home launcher. Weather is one of them

[Nova Launcher] Pappa60:
Thanks, but I am not trying to use Sony weather widget. Guess I should have mentioned the Weather apps/widgets I've been trying, all crash. 1Weather, Weatherbug Elite, BeWeather, eWeather HD.

I believe the crashes are from 4.3 android on the Note 3. Never had an issue on my last phone, an S4. But the stock Samsung Note 3 Weather app showing up as 3x2 in Nova is WRONG. That is a NOVA bug.

I'm using Five Wallpapers to set one different wallpaper for each homescreen, but it isn't compatible with Nova (it doesn't recognize the homescreen change) and I have to use it in compatibility mode, which isn't the 100% experience. Could you guys check the support between the two apps? I know Apex works fine with it.

[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I believe there was talk about it when 4.4 originally dropped, but I'm not sure if it's still in the works. The Google Now page in the GEL is a proprietary feature (meaning it's closed source), so devs may have a tough time, replicating the functionality on their own.

Personally, I hate that I lose a homescreen to an iOS-like Search screen, so I don't really care if Kevin implements the feature or not... I can use swipe gestures to open Google Now, just as easily. To each his own though. :)

[Nova Launcher] VaksenDK:
I totally agree. I never understood why so many users want that clumsy way to launch search/Google Now. There are so many more elegant, faster and smarter ways to do it. Like swipe gesture, widget, navigation button, just to name a few. What is so cool about having to navigate all the way to the left most screen and then having to swipe left again one more time?

Nova app drawer on tablet != phone

Hello,

I have a Nook HD+ running CM, and I have Nova launcher installed on it. When i bring up the app drawer, the icons are clustered nicely by the center of the screen, leaving a lot of space on all four sides. Something like:

------------------
| x x x x |
| x x x x |
| x x x x |
| x x x x |
| x x x x |
------------------

On my phone however (previously Note 3, now Z Ultra), the icons in the app drawer take up the whole screen even if there's plenty of space left..

------------------
| x x x x |
| x x x x |
| x x x x |
| x x x x |
| x x x x |
------------------

Does anyone know how i can get the app drawer on my phone to look like that of my tablet?

Many thanks!

I'll join the crashy-widget issue.

My stock-but-rooted Sprint Galaxy S4 has the Yahoo! Weather 4x2 clock and it seems to crash after I leave it alone. Rebooting Nova seems to fix it. So it's not limited to the Note 3. That's the only widget that has issues. All the other ones load fine. I've tried re-creating it to no avail.

[Nova Launcher] Hallucinogen775:
Please, can anybody advise? I still have the issue, even after I got the last update. Now the path is fixed to "Device Storage". Since I'm using a HTC One I don't have an external SD-Card. If I could at least backup to ANYWHERE. Even when I have a USB-OTG attached I can still only choose device storage. This part of the config must be hidden in a kind of config-file. Is there no config-file for Nova that can be edited with an editor?

I so much would like to able to backup my settings via the internal function, just seems the cleanest way to do it.

THANKS FOR ANY HELP!!!

Question for everyone:

How do I create a desktop shortcut that hotpots to a specific Tab or Folder in the Nova's App Drawer?﻿
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I don't think you can. Your best bet would be to recreate that folder on a homescreen or in the dock somewhere...hopefully the folder isn't massive. :-\
[Nova Launcher] DesignGrits:
I got it figured out. I would prefer not to use a third party app, and folder/icons are still not expandable on Android which if I was to use that method I would have to cover two cells on the grid

Quick question might be a noob question for facebook notifications seem to be not getting them in folder with red notification did install the plugin for unread any advice??
[Nova Launcher] corncobman:
I'm not sure if this is supposed to happen so I thought I'd just post this.

I tried out the newest version from the Google Play store, when I tried to import a layout from Apex Launcher there was a red message saying that there was a security error and when I click on the start button it seems like nothing happens. I then tried to import from Touchwiz, it finished and when I went out and into the desktop, I found that the Apex Launcher layout had been imported which I found very strange.

Usability wise it seems to be smoother than the version I previously used, but I have experienced the odd crash when clicking on a widget. Overall though it's very good.

Nova Launch Prime - Custom Icon them keeps resetting to default after reboot

Hi,

I am using Nova Launcher Prime 2.3 on my Samsung Galaxy grand and the custom Icon theme keeps resetting to the default one after phone reboot. This is happening with different Icon themes I have tried. Is anyone else facing similar problem with Nova Launcher prime or knows how to fix it.

Many thanks in advance.

Vicky
[Nova Launcher] LordManhattan:
Have you moved the icons themes to the SD card (if there is any)? I don't know, it was the first thing i could think of.
[Nova Launcher] Haphim:
Hi. I love Nova Launcher, but there is a small adjustment I'd like to request.

When in the apps drawer using vertical mode, side swiping from tab to tab is periodically problematical.

I think the issue is that Nova requires a swipe that is very close to horizontal - any swipes that occur at a greater angle is not processed as a side swipe. As a result, I often find myself fighting to get it to process my side swipes in order to switch tabs.
[Nova Launcher] Galaxy_Vin:
Thanks. You were spot on with this . I had moved the customer icon themes to the SD card and that was the issue. Moved the themes back to device storage and it now works without any issue. Thanks again for your quick response.

Cheers!!

Remove Drawer from Dock

Is there a way to remove the drawer icon from the dock.

If not, is there a way to move it? Its defaulted to the 3rd icon from the left. So if I select a 7 icon dock, the drawer icon is not in the center?

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Nova Launcher] PhilipTD:
Please forgive me if I am missing something, but, can't you long-press on the icon and remove it?

If you go into Nova settings, and go to Behavior and set your Home key to bring up the Screen Previews, do you see your home screen previews (alternatively, long press on a home screen, click on Nova Actions and add Screen Previews)? If so, you can long press on them to drag and drop to remove them. If not, then something is wrong. At that point, I would say uninstall and reinstall to see if that works.

I am having the EXACT same problem. In fact, I just deleted the in recovery; I will try one more time, then I need to move on. It would be a shame, as it's a great launcher, but I cannot keep dealing with this. I can't begin to count the hours I've spent on this, and then, re-doing all my widgets. Running Axiom 2.4, Franco Kernel. No other problems at all. The last time I did a full wipe of the system I installed Nova by flashing it, as opposed to using the APK and moving it into the system file. Same thing is now happening. I'm out of ideas.
[Nova Launcher] esoomenona:
As far as I can tell, it chooses the middle screen, or closest to it, as your default. Perhaps go into the screens and move 3 and 4 around?
[Nova Launcher] darrendm:
Thanks mate!! Screen previews allows me to drag and drop just fine!

Maybe just a note to the dev: that going through Nova Settings to Desktop then to Home Screens has a small issue where you are unable to see screen previews, thus unable to delete screens.

I'm not sure if you plan on updating the app drawer to look more like KitKat or the Google play launcher but I was thinking it'd be cool if you had the normal horizontally paginated app drawer but then a swipe up or down in the app drawer would bring up the widget drawer or visa versa.

KatKiss v17 and Nova. Due to a change in rendering wallpaper is not shown anymore when using Nova. Can Nova be adjusted so this works again in KatKiss. Timduru took out system rendering for wallpaper to increase overall speed. Trebuchet works fine with this new way of approach.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Not trying to be rude, but it's not Kevin's job to modify the launcher, just so it works with one ROM. Personally (I build ROMs as well), I find it kinda stupid that a dev would remove a rendering feature, that most third party launchers rely on...

What he's done has effectively crippled your ability to use your device, and I doubt that the speed increase is significant enough to justify the lack of app compatibility and performance. If I were you, I'd ask him to create a separate flashable zip, that will allow you to get wallpaper rendering back. The fact that a dev has taken away your ability to use an app that you've paid for, is ridiculous.

[Nova Launcher] Chinaboy5216:
No offence taken.

Tim's work on the TF101 is real genius, you should know that the device is 3 years old now and still competes with the newer tabs thanks to his work.

We as KatKiss followers are hoping Nova devs would at least consider to implement internal rendering. Besides also Apex has the same issue.

Tim did not block us users out, we do have a setting allowing us to keep the old system so on that no problem.

But why stick to old if new is faster?

Anyway all we want to ask is that Nova devs at least consider it, nothing more
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I see what you're saying... Fair enough. I have an A500, so I'm right there with you, in the sense that I have an older tablet. It's great that your dev has included a way to roll back the rendering changes, if they're causing issues...It shows real forward thinking.

If you want to make this request though, it might carry more weight if you ask your ROM dev to contact Kevin and the Apex devs directly, to explain the situation. It might not make a difference, but developers tend to at least respond to other devs... Chances are, Kevin won't ever see your individual post here, because it'll be buried (5-6 pages old) by tomorrow morning. I think asking your dev to reach out is your best bet. :)

To make a change, I have to press down on the desktop for a few seconds, then a lock appears which I have to press again, then I can drag icons and make such changes, so it's almost impossible to mess up settings by accident.

You can also use Nova's backup feature. It's an excellent way to revert changes or go easily back to an earlier version of your desktop, and forward again.
