Hello, I've seen this reported before but it doesn't seem to get any attention, it's been reported since January on your website. I think Nova is perfect in every way except this: I can't set a portrait wallpaper when it's set to non-scrolling. Many times I happen to have my wallpaper the same size as my screen, so if I try to set it, it has to be cropped so only a small part of it becomes actual wallpaper.

Will this be fixed anytime soon? It is a very important feature to me.

Here's a template I made for my S2 E4GT

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1898034

I don't know the exact spec for your screen size/resolution, you'd probably have to modify mine a little.

The blank template is the exact size of my stock wallpapers, and empty area in the middle is the exact size of the screen

so when you stick something behind the black bars, what you see is what you'll get on your screen (if you had an E4GT anyway)

I describe how and why in my post there.
[Nova Launcher] wststreet:
While this is a good workaround, it is very uncomfortable to do especially if you're always on the go. Apex has this feature, and as far as I know, GOLauncher has it too. I switched to Nova because of the sale, getting pro for apex was too expensive. I guess I'll have to switch back to the free version of Apex. I just wish I knew about this problem before uninstalling it :(

What kind of sorcery is this?

I can't figure out how the app itself works but I tried setting wallpaper again after I installed it and now I have the crop rectangle as portrait in QuickPic.

[EDIT] And now it works even after I uninstalled that app. I'm confused

I got this weird shadow on the top/bottom of the screen in nova launcher which I cant get rid off. It does not happen in other launcher or any other app. Anyone knows what's going on?
[Nova Launcher] c00ller:
I made another suggestion. Please vote if you agree. Thanks!

Allow adding shortcuts to Drawer Groups
[Nova Launcher] rgawenda:
Yes. You have the option that does that shadows checked as active in Nova's settings.
[Nova Launcher] enigma1981:
^^ Additional: It's in dock settings, down the bottom "show shadow"

I didn't even know what this did until I installed Nova on my new S3 two minutes after taking it out of the box - my background is always just black, it was only on the S3 'default' wallpaper I saw the shadows and though 'oh, that's what it does' *disable* lol some may like it but for me, it's pointless, so I turn it off to save resources - not that the S3 struggles with, well, anything lol

It's not sorcery, it's Wizardrii ;) lol

Hi, got a little problem with nova on my Galaxy Note 10.1 Tablet with Android 4.0.4. Every wallpaper i select is zoomed in. No problem on my Galaxy Nexus, only on the Note 10.1. When switching back to stock touch wiz launcher and go back to nova then its normal. After a restart the same zooming issue is there. Any working solution? I really like nova and dont want to use TW launcher. :-/

[Nova Launcher] PearlMikeJam:
I searched the thread and saw this mentioned, but never found a solution/reason...

1x1 widgets are vertically stretched. For example, the HD Widgets weather widget has the weather icon at the top of the row and the temperatures at the bottom of the row. Other widgets, like Folder Organizer, have the icon at the top of the widget and nothing below. Shouldn't all the widgets be centered on the row? Is this a bug being researched? The launcher is great otherwise. Well worth the $0.25 for Prime. Not trolling, just curious.
[Nova Launcher] frenccw:
If you're talking about widgets that come with stock Touchwiz (or whatever it is on your phone), you can't use them on custom launchers. This is not specific to Nova so unfortunately you will just have to find alternative widgets.

I don't have TW so can you describe what's the feature like? Try holding down on an empty space and tap "Nova actions". I presume what you want is either Show Previews or Jump to Page.

[Nova Launcher] Ricey:
In TW there were these dots on the bottom that indicated home screens. You could simply tap the dot to quick switch to the screen you wanted. Nova has the bar that shows you which page you're on instead, the dots were in the same place of that bar and the dot would enlarge if you're on that particular page (I think Launcher Pro had the quick switch dots too or something similar). Would work well with the app drawer too if you have a lot of apps & pages.

Originally an Apex fan but after having a chance to try Nova Prime...damn...With RootBox on my S2 and Nova Prime, it's like breathing new life as well injecting illegal 'roids.

Really enjoying the layout of how to pick gestures; the ability to swipe between launcher options, apps and shortcuts. Really makes all the difference me thinks.

I've tried to look but couldn't find it, the only thing I'm missing from Nova that I liked in Apex was the ability to change the menu button in the app drawer? Want to make it the Play Store instead.

Ah. That's nifty. I guess Nova started out as being a "better stock" so having those dots would be unusual both aesthetically and functionally. Having said that it's probably worth checking out the Feature Requests (link the first post) and see if anyone has suggested it. Or you could start a new feature request ;) The closest we have now to that is Jump to Page under Nova Actions.
[Nova Launcher] cheryanne:
Unfortunately it doesn't show any of the S Planner as available widgets.
[Nova Launcher] dmonzel:
That's because S Planner is tied to TouchWiz. Nova only has stock widgets. No TW, no Moto(not quite called)Blur, no Sense UI.
[Nova Launcher] Supergluey:
i don't mind apps like S Planner , but can we have the feature where I can use the default schedule app and able to expand it to fit a screen? It is because when i add that widget no matter how i resize it , its still a small box... The only reason . i didn't buy this launcher yet is because I need my schedule, it doesn't work if only i can read 1 entry..
[Nova Launcher] tlongren:
The Nova way being long-press desktop and add widget? Or is there another way that I'm missing?

Trebuchet and Apex both have the option to keep Apps and Widgets separated in the drawer, don't they?
[Nova Launcher] DominatingSystem:
That's not right, because the SMemo widget works... But why?

A half of stock widgets work and the rest not?

[Nova Launcher] Ricey:
Some of the widgets, like S Planner, TW Calendar, TW Weather, etc are tied to TW's framework so they can only work on TW. The ones that aren't tied to the framework (S Memo, S Suggest) are usable on another launcher.

Email counter unread count question on S3

Hi

Just started using the excellent Nova Launcher and have a question on unread email counts.

I'm using the stock email app on my S3 and notice that it no longer shows an unread counter in the dock.

I did install TeslaUnread Settings but that seems only to work for Gmail?

Is there a way to enable unread counts for the stock email app?

Thanks
[Nova Launcher] Xerovius:
Is there a bug tracker or something similar for this app?
[Nova Launcher] glimmling:
There's one thing, that bothers me. Infinite dock scrolling is very laggy with my Nexus 7. This feature works fine with the other launchers, like Holo & Apex.

But all in all I prefer Nova, so I bought the Prime version. :good:

Issue on JB

Hello,

Since I upgraded my Asus TF700 to JB, I got some issues.

Back from drawer, home screens are blank.

Rotation is causing some freezing.

Cheers
[Nova Launcher] ylexot:
I'm having a similar issue. My home screens will go completely blank except for the wallpaper (not just coming back from the drawer). If I touch where the icons/widgets were, it will launch the apps. Only resolution that I've found so far is a reboot.

Asus Transformer Prime TF201 running AOKP and Nova Prime 1.3.1

Edit for some more info: Forced close, cleared cache, restarted and it seems to be ok for now. Was using revolving door transitions, but switched back to cube. Will let you know if it goes blank again.
[Nova Launcher] PearlMikeJam:
What am I doing wrong?

I purchased Prime the other day when it was on sale. I installed on my Rezound and none of the 1x1 widgets size right. They are either stretched or justified to an extreme rather than centered in the cell.

When I installed on my Xoom, very few widgets, regardless of size, displayed properly. I modified the grid and tweaked the margins, but none of the widgets displayed properly in both landscape and portrait mode.

I do not experience this on other launchers. Has this been a consistent bug or something that is known and being addressed?
[Nova Launcher] niteh@wk:
Seems like something to do with widget overlay. Have you tried disable/enable widget overlay in the Home screen settings?
[Nova Launcher] PearlMikeJam:
Thanks. I do not have that enabled. Overlapping the widget would stretch them more. It seems like there is a bug that top justifies items in portrait orientation, at least on my Rezound. On the Xoom, it just will not render many widgets properly no matter what settings I have.
[Nova Launcher] droidspd:
Yes that's what I mean, sorry for any confusion. With the option unchecked for Widgets in Drawer, you can get that same menu without long pressing any home screen.

I have Nova Launcher Prime installed. Why is it the widgets from newly installed apps such as Pulse News or Smart Torchlight (from Smart Tools) are missing from the widget list?

Edit:

Just to add. The mentioned widgets first appeared in the widget list right after installatation.

But they turned into grey boxes on the home screen after a while and I am unable to re-add.

I restarted my phone a couple of times but the widgets are still missing.
[Nova Launcher] Irrorate:
I've got Nova Launcher (free) installed on my S3 GT-I9300 and when I delete all home screens minus one default, the home screen shows empty (even though there are icons on it, and I deleted the blank one not the one with icons).

When I re-add a second home screen, my buttons will come back.

Steps to reproduce:

Delete all home screens so you only have one left.

Not sure if bug reports can be made here, but I figured I'd try it!

Not compatible with Lotus Notes traveller?

Purchased this app for the infinite scroll feature (I'm on an un-rooted Motorola Droid RAZR - work phone). After switching to the Nova Launcher all the widgets were blank as expected. When I double tap on the widget slots it just gives me a list of the widget

icons only

without any descriptions. If I hold my finger on the widget then it shows the description. Appears that this is a bug?

Also, when I tried to add the Lotus Traveler calendar or mail widget, it crashes Lotus Traveler. It works fine on the stock homescreen. Any advice on what I can try to resolve this?

[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
My god!! Whoever said to expect tons of feature requests as a result of the Prime sale, wasn't kidding. Since the $.025 sale, I've read nothing but rampant complaining, and off the wall requests. Someone stated that Nova needs more of GO Launcher's features...smh...seriously?! If you wand GO's flash, bloat, and lag, then by all means, use it. Nova was not created to be that type of launcher.

As for feature requests...guys, there's a link to User Voice in the OP, which Kevin checks for popular requests. He doesn't routinely check this thread for bug reports, feature requests, etc...he usually only drops in to release a new build. Please use the appropriate channels to get your questions/concerns addressed more expeditiously. :)

And for all those who have just begun using Nova...spend a couple of days to get acclimated to it. Nova and Apex are not (and never were) Gingerbread launchers; they were built off of ICS initially, and have since been updated to better support JB. As such, they're not going to operate the same way as LPP, GO, or ADW, and it's not fair to expect them to. Gingerbread launchers are very mature (feature rich and bloated) at this point, whereas ICS and JB launchers are still in their infancy. Give it time, please be fair, and don't compare these apps to their GB counterparts, because they're nothing alike.

Hopefully everyone is enjoying the launcher as much as I am. :)
[Nova Launcher] droidspd:
I do know what I'm talking about. I'm running Nova right now and do NOT have haptic feedback. Why? Because I switched it off in my ROM settings.

I think he wants to specifically turn off haptic feedback for this app only. Switching off settings in your ROM applies to all apps.

Note to Apex users: please stop asking/requesting about features that are missing in Nova just because you bought it for 25c. There's a difference between asking "can we have X feature? this will be useful because XXX" rather than "where is this X feature? apex has this". They are different apps with different devs and hence have different priorities and creative decisions. For the record, kevin the dev has stated time and time again that speed and stability is his highest priority and he doesn't want bloating features which is presumably why some minor features in Apex are not implemented. If the feature request is popular in User Voice (link in OP) there is a higher chance that it will be implemented as many features you see now in the app were at the top of the list before.

Hi people! New nova prime user here! Yes, I must admit I got it with the offer in Google play, but I wanted to say I have been using apex since May and I was really happy with it. However nova has changed totally my mind in only two days... It's smooth like butter and fast like lightning!!

Congratulations to the devs!! The only thing I miss a little bit from apex is the preview screen, which is bigger and the transition to see it and hide it is more beautiful! :) however if nova's one must remain as it is due to a better working, I won't ask for any change :o

Only one question if someone would be so kind to answer, as there are hundreds of pages to see... If it's a problem, I'll look for it on my own... Are there themes for nova? To change icons and this stuff... :)

Blank Homescreen

Hi,

1st off excellent app.

Have been using this on my Galaxy Nexus ever since Jelly Bean hit and haven't looked back. However now I have a Nexus 7 and have been hitting a rather odd issue. If I make the app draw transparent when I press the home button to get to my homescreen it remains blank until I swipe the screen left or right to switch screens (dont have to actually leave the screen just enough to start the animation)

I've tested the same thing on my Galaxy Nexus (Maguro) and it doesn't display this issue.

I've tried this on the stock Google build and also running AOKP build 4 on my Nexus 7 and both display this error. If I revert the App Drawer transparency back to solid black it's fine.

I've done full wipes just to be sure it wasn't some dirty flashing issue with the rom and the problem persists,

Could anyone else running Nova Prime (1.3.1) confirm if their Nexus 7 displays this issue or is it just me...

Regards

Will

*update I've also tested this on a friends Nexus 7 which is totally stock (other than rooted and in tablet ui mode) and this too displays the same issue)*
[Nova Launcher] Arie-:
Hey, bought this during last weeks sale and I love the speed, it's better than Apex. Two things though which I hope you can solve/help me with:

1) The icons in the dock in landscape mode seem to be wrongly aligned. The icons seem to be closer to the top of the screen than the bottom. (Screenshot)

2) I'm used to the gesture where I swipe up to open the drawer. And when the drawer is opened I can swipe up again to close it. That last part I cannot get set up, anything I'm missing or is this not possible?

Edit: Sorry for posting this here, I had searched the thread but not read the OP, now I notice this isn't the place for feature requests, the remark from 1) still stands though.

It went blank again. Hopefully this can be fixed because Nova is soooo much faster/smoother than Apex.
