Install xposed, then tinted status bar module, reboot and everything should work normally..
[Nova Launcher] mrdoug:
Very impressed with the newest update. The search function works well. I like that he incorporated the recent app list into the search so features would not be lost. Bravo.

The new drawer animation is also great. I wonder if he plans to port the preview setup to the app animation. It is a nice addition to be able to visually preview what it'll look like.

I had a bug when I switched drawer animations that my homescreen would go empty and remain that way until I opened the drawer once. I rebooted my phone and it has not occurred (thus far).

I don't know if Kevin reads this forum silently, but it might be a good addition to the beta page to post that suggestion... 'Always reboot after a major update' . I know it has solved a lot of upgrade flukes posted here and it keeps needing to be reminded (thanks ja_som). :)

The bug seems to be linked to the drawer animation set. Standard animation is fine

is they a way to use stock widgets onto the Nova launcher they is some widgets miss from list . I have the LG G3 and I would like to use the LG G3 weather, new stat, and calendar widget
[Nova Launcher] //.dax:
Nope, I had same issue when I was using Sense 5 (weather widget)
[Nova Launcher] zelendel:
Oem widgets require the launcher and frameworks from the Oem ROM to work. This is why none of them work on other launchers Krab aosp roms.

Just one wish. Please add elastic scrolling on desktop and app drawer. I think I wished that since 2011...
[Nova Launcher] kingvortex:
I searched the thread and saw that you asked for this at least 13 times now.

I think everyone is aware of your wish for this already. :D
[Nova Launcher] iamnotkurtcobain:
The funny part is it's almost a 3 year old wish, other launchers have it and I still stay on Nova. This is loyalty :)
[Nova Launcher] hawkwind212:
sounds like desperation to me...
[Nova Launcher] iamnotkurtcobain:
I'd be desperated if there'd be only Go Launcher or Next Launcher in the play store.. But we have plenty of launcher to choose from. ;)
[Nova Launcher] hawkwind212:
Then why do you keep on insist that a feature from another launcher be on Nova too? Why not take nova as the way that Kevin wants it to be? If you say there are so many launcher selection out there, which there are, why make nova into a bloated generic launcher with features taken from other launchers? I'm all for some cool features to be implemented on nova, but not if it's going to make it indistinguishable from other similar launcher, say apex.
[Nova Launcher] :
Been using this launcher for more than two years now.

Just two thoughts :

1. could the "show shadow on desktop" option be made to apply shadow either on top or bottom or both

2. add a wheel or windmill home screen transition effect

Otherwise this launcher rules. Thanks. :thumbup:

P.S. if this was already asked, i apologize. Was too lazy to search :)

Hi there,

I don't know if it linked to it, but since I've updated my Xperia ZL to Kitkat, there is a flicker effect after unlocking from the phone. It happens not every time, but most of the time right after the unlock screen I get a full black wallpaper before the effective wallpaper itself comes. Is this normal ? Is there any solution to it ?

Thanks,

Mambobuzzz
[Nova Launcher] adl:
Beta 3 is our if anybody didn´t noticed by now.
[Nova Launcher] kingvortex:
This is not caused by Nova. It happens on all launchers on the Z / ZL KitKat stock roms.
[Nova Launcher] Mambobuzzz:
Hmmm okay. Thanks for the answer... :)

Critical bug in beta3 , when click on tab in app drawer screen... it's show popup to edit tab
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Not a bug, it's so you can customize the tab. Change tab name and or color scheme of tab. Pretty nice feature as that orange and green color scheme is pretty atrocious.

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Nova Launcher] elhennig:
Actually it is a bug as it does not open the tab and only shows the menu to modifiy the tab settings.
[Nova Launcher] Zinken:
I think he means that the pop-up shows even when you are trying to switch tabs by tapping them. The behavior you describe is when you tap the tab you are currently viewing.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Not too sure but I think that is normal since the swype between tabs. No need to tap them unless you want to modify them.

Edit- I see what you mean. I rolled back to beta 2 and it works properly.

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Nova Launcher] nyleon26:
Its a bug. Point of clicking the tabs is so you don't have to swype though every page...
[Nova Launcher] elhennig:
You are right, you can swipe through all the pages, but I use the tabs as short cut to switch from one tab to the other. The beta3 behaviour is, that you can only switch back to the "Apps" tab from other tabs.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
I edited my last post as I wasn't 100% sure of what you meant. I rolled back to beta 2 and noticed the bug. Sure a fix will be coming soon.

[Nova Launcher] adl:
New beta (beta 4) fixes the "click on tab" bug in app drawer. Get it while it´s hot! :cowboy:
[Nova Launcher] marcran75:
What circle animation do you speak of? ??? The only animations I see for app drawer are slide up, zoom and fade.
[Nova Launcher] Sammath:
I'm using the beta version which has more new stuff.
[Nova Launcher] kingvortex:
That particular drawer transition animation doesn't work on some devices and is therefore not available to select on those devices.
[Nova Launcher] //.dax:
Is the reason Android version or something else?
[Nova Launcher] kingvortex:
I've no idea, to be honest. I just saw on the G+ beta community that it doesn't work on some devices. I'm on 4.4.2 and I don't have that transition.
[Nova Launcher] //.dax:
So it's definitely not android version.. I don't have that one too, SlimBean 4.1.2

Maybe something hardware related? Or maybe it's just enabled for some devices for no reason :p
[Nova Launcher] Lukapetr:
Yeah good launcher I also got the Prime version but why don't you add finally the possibility to organise apps and folders in the app drawer? I mean like Touch Wiz does. ...This should be a basic function for a "customizable launcher"...I don't think it's hard to do it.....Thanks and sorry for my english

[Nova Launcher] Shaftamle:
[MENTION=2587550]kevin@TeslaCoil[/MENTION] is there any future plans to separate the way nova backs up theme layouts and settings, similar to Apex. Where you can backup launcher settings independently of layout settings? This is the only thing about nova I wish was different. You all have done a great job with this app.

I think it's not possible, but I might be wrong. As for feature requests, don't ask me, I'm not the developer of the app, it's Kevin (see first post, I think there was a link to feature requests for Nova).

THIS. I didn't think people with newer devices than my Galaxy Nexus were experiencing this, but I'm proven wrong. This is one of the very few issues I have with Nova and I think it's because it's still based on AOSP Launcher2 (instead of Launcher3 on which other launchers are based), but I also guess it's quite a lot of work to rebase the whole launcher on newer code.

On beta 4, using slim pie i added search function to pie and it open with keyboard but when i search an app search goes to desktop screen selecting and selecting an app

Sent from my SM-N9005
[Nova Launcher] buraktas92:
I am really happy to hear that. I was think i am crazy because no one except me wrote anything about it i searched it again and again.

I am agree with you about source of problem but i think he is very talented developer and he can find a way to get rid of this issue. Because i can't remember this happens on original launcher2. I am not sure rebase the launcher maybe take a lot of effort but it might be very helpful with compatibility and performance.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I'm trying to figure out what you mean here... Are you saying that when you try to do an app search inside the app drawer, it doesn't work? I think some additional information might be needed...

Slim Pie is a nav bar replacement/supplement, and has to be specifically configured to launch Nova intents. The Search icon on the pie will (unless otherwise specified) trigger a normal Google search, not an app drawer search.
[Nova Launcher] ravian29:
let me try again, i am using AOSP rom and in slim pie there is an option to add custom actions/app. i add new built in search of Nova launcher (by selecting from nova actions), when i open search from slim pie, Nova search opens fine and show me recently installed applications and also keyboard appears ( same like when i tap on search icon in Nova drawer) but when i type application name "search" does not work and Nova launcher select one of the app on desktop.

If you still can not understand please tell me i will make a video or screenshots to make it better to understand,:highfive:
[Nova Launcher] BSapps:
Nice launcher :)
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I think I understand now, thank you. Honestly though, it might be hard to pin down what, exactly, is causing the problem. It could be a problem with the Pie itself, or it could very well be an issue with Nova. I'm interested to see if it gets resolved.

Just as a test though... Have you tried doing the exact same thing, only using LMT instead of Slim Pie? I'd be interested in seeing if LMT gives you the same problem. If the problem persisted, I think it would be relatively safe to say that it's Nova that's causing the problem. Could you try LMT and report back? ?
[Nova Launcher] ravian29:
Thanks a lot for looking into it, i tried LMT and its doing the same like slim pie. I think its Nova causing this :p
[Nova Launcher] irish_711:
What do you have you animation speed set at? Faster Than Light stops all of that. Set it to a lower speed and it should work.
[Nova Launcher] ravian29:
Thanks a lot for making it possible. In beta 5 search is working great using slim pie.

Can you please make it possible to disable text “ recently installed or updated“ and change the color ( also transparent ) of search bar and notification bar. Thanks a lot again

Sent from my SM-N9005
[Nova Launcher] mrdoug:
I agree, the color is in line with the colorblock drawer setting... But I don't personally use that. Would love it if it had the same options... Select color and display type (normal, colorblock, minimal). Maybe minimal could be where it doesn't show the text?

This is all well and good, but Kevin doesn't come here... So, we're really just requesting and suggesting to ourselves. :)

[Nova Launcher] khaytsus:
Yep, animations annoy me personally so I set it to that, so fancy animations are wasted on me.

I don't see why anyones waits on animations, every time I do a fresh ROM install I immediately run to the animation settings to crank them down to 0 so I don't have to watch everything fade in, fade out, slide in, slide out.. ugh.
[Nova Launcher] iamnotkurtcobain:
So true...

Animation speed is not going to make any difference when the phone doesn't even show that animation as an option.

[Nova Launcher] hashimz:
Awesome, Thanks
[Nova Launcher] killchain:
I haven't seen the launcher's inner workings, but I think that part of the problem is how it puts load on the CPU - I observe that if I set my governor to Performance (i.e. the CPU is at its maximum frequency while the display is on), Nova is buttery smooth, but the stuttering issues happen when using a more usual governor - e.g. Ondemand or Interactive - it's like it fails to scale up the frequency fast enough so the operation is smooth.

Again, this is just an assumption. Under the same conditions, Google Experience Launcher doesn't have these issues.

Too bad that this is not really a bug, but rather a performance issue - so it will differ not only from a device to another one, but even on the same device with different kernel settings and such.
[Nova Launcher] Sajoo:
i think the settings menu, especially the menu for animations is very unclear.

If i want to change the scroll effect of the appdrawer or the desktop i have to search every time where

the settings are.

Coul you please make a category for animations only because there are 4 different effects

and every effect is located somewhere else.

Desktop scroll animation

Appdrawer scroll animation

[Nova Launcher] hawkwind212:
The buttery performance comes at the cost of battery life. I notice when I was using performance setting and thought that if I would just kept the phone plugged in, I wouldn't have any issue with the battery. I was not sure if there was something wrong with my hardware or software, but even with the phone plugged in, the battery drained at a faster rate than the charging was. So I had to switch over to another cpu governor setting, msm-dcvs, which was the governor that specifically developed for the Qualcomm's chips. I also did a full wipe and reinstalled the ROM. Now my device is running smoothly without any issues. Nova launcher had not gave me problem in term of lagging. Sometimes it would take a few seconds longer to restart, that's about it.
[Nova Launcher] buraktas92:
After i read your post i tried with my device. My kernel doesn't have performance governor so i scale min frequency to max frequency. But nothing changed on my nexus 4. Before i did this i was using input boost so every time i touch nova it scale up to higher frequency before any load happened.

On the other hand whatever i try i can't have buttery smooth ui experience. It is not related nova. I tried different kernels different roms or oc to 1.9 ghz and more accurate touch screen filters but i can never have smooth ui as for example s5 has. I am really jelous of s5 ui performance even if how much i hate Samsung. I am not sure it all about pure computing power.

[Nova Launcher] buraktas92:
Everytime i get a phone in my hands i open appdrawer and swipe my finger from one side to other side very slowly. In my device there is always a little blur and very very little shutters happening. But i think i am very obsessed person it annoyes me a lot. Probably no one else notice this except me. I try every device when it released but first time after iphones i see buttery performance in s5 note 3 and other devices which released same dates with same specs. I love my nexus 4 but it is the only thing bothers me.

Can you make a step plan for me because I don't understand the screenshot text since it's not english.

November/December will my HTC One M8 arrive !
[Nova Launcher] //.dax:
Sorry, English it's not my native language so I'll translate the main words

Step one: configure widget (tap on it)

Step two: choose which object do you wanna edit (square (obdĺžnik) in my case)

Step three: there are options, where you can choose dimensions of objects, width (šírka) and height (výška)

Step four: Change the width of object (370 is long enough for me) and voilà!

Hope it helps ;)

Thanks for the help but the widget I've downloaded can be easily scaled to wide the screen but my launcher ( nova ) won't allow it.

[Nova Launcher] kingvortex:
If you're referring to the "Hibernate and lock screen" entry under "Double tap", then I don't think that is possible without another app. Actually, I believe that's a shortcut from Greenify.
[Nova Launcher] niteh@wk:
Yes, it's possible with a third- party app. You can use Secure Settings which has a lot of useful tasks you can do, lock screen is just one of those. Some screenies attached.
[Nova Launcher] hawkwind212:
I personally use Tasker app to create the lock screen shortcut, but I'm pretty sure somebody has already discussed that method here before. If you're not using the default lock screen, you can choose the shortcut as nova activity, then the lock screen you're using. I think that will work.
[Nova Launcher] simon_lefisch:
If you're using a custom ROM (which a lot of peeps do) like AOSP you should also be able to change ring targets to screen off without having to use another app (just seems pointless to have something else installed just to turn the screen off).
[Nova Launcher] niteh@wk:
You can do a lot of customized actions on custom AOSP ROMs, but you're missing the point of the original question. He wanted to turn screen off on double tap.
[Nova Launcher] simon_lefisch:
I understand the question. I was just providing a workaround without having to install a third party app that takes up extra resources. I understand that it it may not take a lot. Just saying that swiping up is just as easy as double-tap. Again, just an opinion and workaround.
[Nova Launcher] DynamiteAndy:

Failing to understand how it could be a rom issue. Before the update nova worked fine, i switched to apus launcher were it still worked fine. then returned to nova after it was updated.

But thank you, I'll have a look for a fix on that thread.
[Nova Launcher] hawkwind212:
You're right about the custom rom, and I have the double tap on status bar to lock the screen option on. But I also have Tasker automating my phone with other tasks, and I created the shortcut for screen lock just because I can. I'm just curious, you mention that I should be able to change ring target to screen of within Aosp rom, With cm11, there is only one option to do so, which I mention earlier. Can you tell me what rom you're using, and how you go about changing the ring target to screen off?
