[Nova Launcher] inscythe:
I have just started using Nova Launcher Prime on my brand new Nexus 7. However, I found it really annoying to organize my app drawer content.

While the homescreen management is pretty standard (similar to those in other launchers), the homescreen tab/folder management simply takes way too many taps to simply add one app into a tab/folder.

A good suggestion can be probably taken from Samsung's TouchWiz: by adding a app drawer editing mode (in TouchWiz, you can trigger it by selecting Menu>Edit in the app drawer; then you can move items around like in homescreen). This would make app drawer management much more convenient...

EDIT:

Also, I found that whenever I add widgets into my homescreen, the app tab always becomes blank, in which case I have to restart Nova, or switch back in and out of the widget tab. My device configuration is in my signature...
[Nova Launcher] khaytsus:
I agree, it's pretty painful to move individual apps into folders. However, you can do this:

Nova Settings->Drawer->Drawer Groups->Folder

Add the Folders you need.

Tap the folders, and then go down the list tapping apps you want to show up in those folders. By default this hides them from the main drawer, but per-folder you can change that with the "keep apps in main app tab" checkbox.

So it's not too slow to do this per-folder, but per-app, yes, it takes forever. I did it that way myself. :(

I want duplicate folder feature

Why? Because I want some folders both in dock and home screen.. and if I push it to dock from home screen, I can't find it in screen. And I have to make a folder again:(:(:(

Hello, love this app my favourite land only launcher, just ran into an issue:

I was trying to restore from my latest backup and it just pauses till I press a key. I can find the backups through filemanager but seems like Nova cannot recognize them.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

FIXED.

Moved the backup file to new backup file location.

Lil help needed guys

I've had this problem ever since 2.0 launched.

Widget previews are usually blank unless I restart Nova App from the settings and after a few, they all go blank again.

Take note of this screenshot please?

What can I do to make then not always disappear?

I'm currently running 2.0.1 Beta 3

Thanks.

OK, it was definitely k9mail fault and it was fixed in one of the latest nightlies. Basically k9mail had problem with providing unread count to the other apps which crashed TeslaUnread...

Your widgets should always be there, unless you delete them. If you want a certain widget to show on every screen, just like the search bar though, I don't think that can be done. :o

[Nova Launcher] BenRoark:
Thanks for a great piece of software, Kevin.

Are there any plans in the pipeline to increase the widget image/scrolling cache? It would certainly be something to look forward to, and I believe it would set Nova apart from its competition, performance-wise. If the answer is yes, I will buy you a six-pack of whatever beer you like in exchange for a private beta code.

And yes, I'm asking because I'm an Android Pro Widgets user... :P (I know this has come up previously with APW users)

The notification bar on my SGS3 is completely transparent. I can't seem to find the setting to get it back to the standard black bar. I'm running the Task ROM and using Nova Prime.

[Nova Launcher] dragontology:
Re: [APP 4.0+] Nova Launcher - 2.0.1beta3 Jan 11 2013

For the guy asking about the status bar, you want an app called ROM Toolbox Pro. It will let you change your status bar, but it isn't free. Four bucks, I think. (Use it to change your system font to Ubuntu, such a nice but subtle improvement.)

Widget Locker needs an update. No reason a rooted phone can't remove the stock lock screen entirely. You can disable it with some ROMs but not all allow it. If you can disable your lock screen, Widget Locker works perfectly.

He probably could have worded his response a bit differently, but the point he was making is this:

Your exact same question has been asked dozens of times already, and a quick usage of the thread's search function would have shown you that, without the need to read all 800+ pages. Simply put, the "search thread" option is there for a reason... So we don't have to read thousands of posts to find answers. :o

Is that option available on tapatalk? I literally didn't know there was a thread specific search as I don't use the actual site.
[Nova Launcher] dragontology:
Bloody hell, search doesn't work on forums for two main reasons, 1) search is badly implemented, when you search via the forum software (i.e. sql), it misses a lot and returns a ton of false positives, and if you search via google (i.e. sitename:xda-developers.com) it doesn't return recent results. And 2) Most of your searches will turn up people asking the question and other people telling them to just search. It's circular; ergo, it doesn't work. The best thing to do is just answer the question if you know it or ignore it if you don't. That way when the next person searches, if this instance of the question comes up, the answer will be there. The second best thing would be to have an FAQ. 90% of OPs on XDA reserve the second post, and 90% of *them* never use it for anything. If the OPs would take the time to collect the most frequently asked questions and put the answers all in that second post they reserve, we could all just point to that rather than telling people to use the broken search function. Bonus points: While parroted by mods, the rule to search before posting comes with the forum's default rules. Forum software comes pre-configured with rules; that's why they all seem so similar. Very few forum admins change the rules because they look pretty good. That doesn't mean they don't agree with it, but they didn't personally improve the search function in any way (unless they actually attempted to, in which case I apologize). It's just the same half-arsed search function in every phpbb installation on the net. Advanced search is decent if you know how to use it, but the basic search is completely and utterly worthless. And besides -- and possibly ultimately -- we ask questions on a forum because that's their purpose. As opposed to just Googling it. By telling people to just search, you're fighting the function of the forum.

And the meta discussion of search (including this post) further detracts from the experience, but I felt it had to be said. I think we're all here because we love the Android platform, and its openness, and we all want to help in some way. If I had the answer I would have posted it. If I really cared, I would have searched. But I am casually interested. As it is I just rename my shortcuts so they don't get truncated. "Videocam Illusion" becomes "Videocam" and so forth.

Re: [APP 4.0+] Nova Launcher - 2.0.1beta3 Jan 11 2013

Search does not work on Tapatalk... at least not well. I wasn't trying to be rude; I was assuming you had posted from the website. I'm not going to be that "use the search function, or I'll flame you" guy, but an easy way to avoid these types of flare-ups is to preface your question with:

"hey guys, I'm mobile at the moment, so I can't search, but [insert question] … "

I'm on Tapatalk a lot as well, and doing this has kept me from engaging in needles "search the damn thread" arguments. Keep doing what you're doing man, no worries... These issues are why I've started posting mainly on Rootz... Xda is full of trolls and clowns, and it's hard to stay above the fray sometimes. :)

---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 PM ----------

1) the website search function does work for most questions. I've managed to build a ROM and create a theme, using the search feature pretty regularly.

2) if nobody uses the search function, we should just petition Xda to remove it entirely, along with the rules associated with it. Now, I don't necessarily mind the lack of searching in an app thread so much, but if you're rooted, you'll know how much of a pain it is to have the same questions being asked and answered every other page. Development threads are not FAQ forums, and should not be treated as such, and I for one, believe that there are too many n00bs posting in those types of threads.

Example: Someone asked in a ROM thread last week, if he could pay to have someone root his phone, and flash the ROM. People like that have no business posting in dev threads, let alone being rooted, because they make life more arduous for everyone else. A quick forum search or Google search, would have given him the information he wanted... instead, he decided to take the lazy way out.

While I do agree with your broad point that we are all here to enjoy and promote the Android platform, err could all do a better job in making (1) more effort to educate ourselves, (2) educate others, (3) exercise more patience (eg. Stop asking for ETA's and updates!), and (4) follow simple rules. Requiring a dev to post a FAQ in the OP is a bit much IMO... the FAQ for this app would be three pages long for god's sake... Kevin shouldn't have to waste his time doing that. I really want to see the Android platform move forward, and I'd like the forums to be a viable resource for everyone, but we all need to do or part... even if it's something small, like searching for information. :)

---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------

I don't think so. To date, Nova will still leave a small gap on the edges, even with the biggest grid configuration. Hourly we can see that changed in the future. :thumbup:

Re: [APP 4.0+] Nova Launcher - 2.0.1beta3 Jan 11 2013

@jjhiza

I didn't think you were being rude, I was really asking about the search functionality of Tapatalk because I only engage discussions to help and have only used search to find topics not content.

I will just keep doing the same as you, renaming shortcuts.

I will never ask a question on XDA. I don't RTFM I write it.
[Nova Launcher] dragontology:
Oh, I don't think anybody should be required to make a FAQ. I'm only saying that since so many of them claim the space and never use it, that space could be utilized. The OP doesn't even have to be the one to do it. I wrote a FAQ for one of my favorite ROMs and it was used on that ROM's SourceForge page. (I never looked to see if it was added on XDA as well.) A ROM author or an app developer might be a code wizard, but maybe not the best writer. Somebody like me who can't write code to save his life, but can write fairly well, can help. And that's the main use of a forum, for people to help one another (a subset of social interaction, which is the point, it's a more permanent and verbose chat room, with better organization).

Frankly, we're all taking the lazy way out -- those of us who aren't developers, that is. If you're using Windows, you're taking the lazy way. If you game on an Xbox or PlayStation, you're taking the lazy way. If you're using an iPhone or an iPad you're taking the lazy way. Offended by any of these? They're all subjective. Everyone has a line, where they will say, on this side, I will do it myself, but past this line, I'll ask someone else to do it. Baking -- using a mix vs. cooking from scratch. (If you've never tasted homemade chocolate frosting, you are missing out on a real treat. Makes can/jar frosting taste like garbage.) Or plumbing/electrical/any other DIY work. I take the lazy way on a good number of things, and I would be surprised if there is even one person here who can't honestly say the same. It's human nature to take the lazy way, as you put it, when we're not proficient at something. It's not a crime. It's not a sin.

I have latest Nova installed on Galaxy Note 10.1 (details in my signature). When I try to apply a wallpaper landscape (regardless of whether I use QuickPick or the Stock wallpaper thing), I get a vertical black space at the right hand side. Wallpaper does not use the whole screen.

To be more precise, I get the black vertical thing when I put the tablet on portrait mode and then back on landscape mode, then it sticks.

It does not do that when I apply the new wallpaper using ADW.

I have not had any issues with the current beta version. If you have any, remember that you chose to use the beta version and with that you accept that there may be some issues. If you can't accept that, go back to stable until there is a new beta or wait to the next stable version.
