Hi, Im new to nova. I recently installed it on my transformer, is there any way of removing the search bar but keeping top right buttons (app drawer and settings? every time I disable the persistent search bar, those 2 icons dissapear.

Ty.-
[Nova Launcher] sMhsn:
no its not there I have already checked there's only icon theme & color theme which is totally different like the way its in Apex!!
[Nova Launcher] MovieGene:
I can't seem to edit the icons in my dock after the last 2 or 3 beta versions.

When I go to change the icon, after a few I select the icon package, it shows the first 9 lines of icons, but if I scroll down, it goes back and brings me to the edit icon dialog.

This happens with any icon pack I choose...

Can anyone else duplicate?

[Nova Launcher] Milamber33:
No, there isn't. Blame Google for that, the settings button and app drawer link are built into the Google Search bar in Tablet mode. This is coming from stock, so it's not a fault with Nova Launcher.

That being said, a feature request to unlink these may be worth making.

Update:

I restored prev rom to check if issue still persist, but it didn't. So I guess it wasn't a nova issue after all. V1.3.1 now working bug free. May have been a driver or script causing the lag?
[Nova Launcher] NovaMa:
One question / feature request: is there an option in Nova to "remember" the position of the app drawer?

I mean: I'm using vertical scrolling (that's the one I prefer), and I noticed that every time I run an application, the drawer starts from the beginning again; it would be useful if it "remembers" the last used position.

Thanks!

Bug in app grouping

I found a bug in how app groups are handled. Steps to reproduce:

1. Make sure you have at least one tab and one folder

2. Put an app in a tab

3. Put the folder in the same tab

4. Press and hold on the app

5. Drop the app on "Group" at the top right

6. Check the folder

7. Uncheck the current group

8. Hit the "back" button

Result: The app is now in the "Apps" tab rather than the folder you checked.

The order is important, you have to check the folder first, if you uncheck the group first it doesn't trigger the bug. It works in the opposite direction, though, that is if you start with it in a folder the bug still happens.
[Nova Launcher] Gambler_3:
Well I am running the stock google rom so not much I can do lol.

ICS version of nova was never smooth for me in ICS. It got totally smooth after jelly bean update but now it seems the jelly bean version wont be that smooth on jelly bean. :(

I would recommend this guy for Icon packs. He has 4 or 5 different, I use the traverse pack. He is very active on this forum and whips up requested icons in minutes. Since I bought his first pack some weeks ago he has added 300+ icons. Pick that and some nice widgets and you are all set to go :)

And it works excellent with Nova!

There is no theme engine for Nova...this isn't GO or Apex (both of which are bloated IMHO). The premise for this launcher has always been speed, stability, and functionality, combined with minor customization/theme options. The launcher is great, and with flashable themes or Theme Chooser themes, it can be/look any way you want it to. :)
[Nova Launcher] juanda4:
Probably the best launcher for ICS and JB. Vainilla style and with extra options. Simple and successful
[Nova Launcher] routey:
just used nova launcher after having used go launcher ex for the longest time. i'm blown away by the speed of this launcher on my galaxy note gt n7000! immediately went back to play store and bought the prime version.

currently on nova prime 1.3.1 and i'm having an issue with the app drawer icon disappearing from dock everytime i change the folder background. sometimes the keys get stuck and i cannot access the options in look and feel as well.

overall not a big deal and am really loving how smooth this launcher is. thanks!

Hi Nova Prime user here,

I am using Nova on the TF201 after it just updated to JB. I am getting a bug in Nova and was wondering if its just JB on the Prime.

When I enter and exit the drawer, the home screen is not displayed. I have to scroll on the homescreen or press the back button to get it to refresh the home screen.

This does not happen on the stock launcher.

Anyone else have this issue?

Cheers.

[Nova Launcher] droidspd:
Totally random but sometimes the down swipe gesture registers as an up swipe gesture. Usually happens when the phone has been in standby and then wakes. Only happens once until another random time. Has anyone else experienced this? My down swipe is Notifications and up swipe is Recent Apps.

It lags if you scroll extremely fast yes, but it's smooth and fast if done at a normal rate or slightly more. Some prefer previous stable, maybe you can try that.

Help with A Widget problem

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-T999 running the latest Samsung "leak" of JB. There is one (one that I notice because I use it) widget that doesn't show up when Nova is running. It is the "Accuweather" widget. If I switch back to Touchwiz this widget shows up in the list and I can use it but when I switch over to Nova Launcher the widget is gone. Not available in the widget menu.

This has been driving me nuts for the last 2 hrs. Anyone know why it is unavailable in NOVA but available in TW?

Thanks!

[Nova Launcher] Gambler_3:
Nope I have the same problem. Previous stable was the fastest launcher I ever used but I really need jelly bean features so I switched to apex now until perhaps an update comes to nova.
[Nova Launcher] MattyDip:
I wrote an email to the developer. Maybe if other user write the same thing to him, he will fix that more quickly.:good:

I have also Apex but for some things I don't like it so I returned to Nova 1.2.2 which seems to be the best solution until a new update. Jelly Bean features are nice and usefull but not necessary for me.
[Nova Launcher] rgawenda:
What do you want the developer to fix? Your ROM? I'm running latest build on CM10, with 135 apps, and I can scroll fast from top to bottom in a single swipe and it's smooth and fast.

Maybe on your phone.

On GS3 V. 1.2.2 runs smooth but not the latest version.

[Nova Launcher] lexluthor:
Just starting using Nova Prime.

I have my drawer set to 6x5, continuous vertical scrolling. When I open the app drawer, it always opens up at the top (alphabetically by A). Is there any way to have it open at the spot I last was at in the app drawer? I know Apex does that. Hopefully, Nova does, but I'm just missing something. When I have it set to horizontal it does, so I'm guess that's not an option here. That's probably a deal breaker for me as I like vertical continuous.
[Nova Launcher] Towle:

Home screen folders would be nice. I don't see why it would let me place icons on top of each other but then only allow the top icon to respond. I do like how fast and smooth it is and for .25 cents I am willing to try this and rest Apex for awhile. Thanks! :good:

Edit: Seems that I can now make home screen folders. Nice!

[Nova Launcher] alessandrof:
I bought it from the 25 cents promotion, have been using other similar laucher before it. I have a question: some apps appear in my homescreen with abbreviated names, for example: Jetpack J. instead of Jetpack Joyride. There is any way to display the apps full names?
[Nova Launcher] Gambler_3:
I also feel the time it takes to get to the default home screen is too long when you press the home button on another home screen. It does nothing for like a second and then just shows default home screen abruptly and it seems to "refresh" it even if you are already on the default screen, not a very pleasant process. I dont remember this being the case in the ICS version it used to "slide" to the default screen like it should be.

Shameless self-promotion of my suggestions. Please vote if you agree with them.

Choose a default Drawer Group to open

[Nova Launcher] solarus2011:
Been using Nova and custom navbar launcher button in my ROM for a while and always accepted the fact the the screen flickers when launching the drawer from the home screen. However I see Apex now has the same functionality (actions as navbar shortcuts) and the home screen doesn't flicker when using the drawer action in the navbar.

Would love to see this minor annoyance fixed.
[Nova Launcher] ygvuhb:
I have two suggestion

please add infinite scroll in drawer per tab

infinite scroll apps/ widgets only

and about the drawer folder and hide app

after put the drawer apps in folder, the same apps still appear in the drawer

if i don't want that same apps show in the drawer , i have to hide the apps too

it become to do 2 step

Can it change the process,

after put the apps in the folder, auto hide it in the drawer?
[Nova Launcher] psych2l:
Here is my feature suggestion, I thought auto-app organization based on their play store categorization was a good idea ;)

"I like to keep my home screen clean by having all my apps organized into contextual folders (e.g. Games all in one place in a games folder). If you have a lot of apps though, doing this manually is time consuming, and you're always wondering if you missed an app when you install a fresh batch, especially with the 25 cent sale that's going on.

My idea to all the launcher devs like Nova and Apex would be to incorporate a option that automatically sorts your apps into folders based on their play store location. Google's already done the hard work of categorizing the apps for us, so we might as well take advantage of it. This categorization could also be extended into the apps list. Right now it's usually alphabetical, but I know I'd love an option in Nova launcher that allows me to sort them by category, perhaps even by tags. Anyway that was my bright idea, what do you guys think? :)"

Very strange. It's not that complicated a thing to test, so there's no way I'm doing it wrong.

I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3. Weird that it would work differently on different phones.

I wonder what the intended behavior is.

Widgets won't update

I like this launcher very much but had to switch to a different one because of problems with widgets not updating. Specifically Google+ and the stock Jellybean messaging widget.

I'm running Minco custom Jellybean rom (based off ASOP and it's not heavily modded at all) on my Galaxy Nexus. Other launchers such as Apex and Holo HD do not have this problem.

Any suggestions? I prefer Nova but I can't use a launcher without these widgets updating properly.
