[MENTION=2587550]kevin@TeslaCoil[/MENTION] - I also have this problem. I have a Seidio Active Case on all my devices. I can't get my finger near enough to the edge of the screen to move icons from one screen to another. I tried adding a horizontal margin, didn't help. Is there a setting somewhere to increase the number of pixels out from the edge that trigger this? Thanks.

I've been taking my case off when I want to rearrange things :-/
[Nova Launcher] BobbaLouie:
I dunno why the dev chooses to ignore this oft-mention issue. I gave up and switched to Apex on my tablets, where it is an issue. Not an issue on my phone fwiw.

Also, as I recall, this did not happen on ver 2.0, shortly after that is where I noticed it.

I people, I have one question I hope you can solve :)

I have a s3 and since last month I'm having several redraws after closing heavy apps, like opera, falcon, or some games like candy crush.

I didn't know if it was problem of last updates of nova or just my phone because I have many widgets in my 7 screens.

The fact is that's the only bug I have in my phone to run perfectly.

So I decided to select the advanced option "aggressive desktop" and it worked! The redraws are gone!

However I wonder how it can affect my phone? Will I have higher battery drain? Will I see lags or something like that due to the launcher being eating my ram memory in first plan instead of being in second?

Thanks people!

I have a quick question. I've set the option for transparent statusbar, however cannot for the life of me find this setting again in v2.2.2. Am I going senile or what :eek:
[Nova Launcher] yomiguy:
It's the same problem I mentioned before... you can solve it by selecting "aggressive desktop" in advanced options, in nova settings.

However, I don't know if battery consumption increases with this option because nova is executing with main apps instead of second place.

That's why I asked about it.

Folder location on screem

Hello.

Using nova and have created folders. Very cool that we can select the icon and name ....

Any way to change their place on the homescreen when opened? Move the open folder around? Top/bottom/left/right? Pick a place?

If the folder icon is in a bottom row, then the folder opens on that bottom row. Is it possible to have the folder open in the center of the screen?

Thanks,

ALG

Here's a great idea: individual home screen grid sizes, each screen with its own resolution ;)

btw, is there any launcher that has this option?

Βuzz has this option.

I would like a favor from all of you who agree with the following suggestion :

I made a request in which i ask Kevin to reduce the distance that our finger has to do in order to scroll to the next home screen ( or next app drawer screen).In some other launchers ( apex,go,holo) this distance is smaller.

Here is a picture that describes what i am asking :

[Nova Launcher] kirbymaster101:
Does Nova Launcher have theme support like Apex or is it just icons?
[Nova Launcher] t3chn0s1s:
Nova definitely has theme support but it doesn't implement it quite in the same way that Apex does. In fact, I think Nova allows better control over themes compared with Apex. I used to be a die hard Apex fan but I feel Nova has other features that Apex lacks making it that much more versatile as a custom launcher.

Sent from my HTC One™
[Nova Launcher] PhilipTD:
Are you using Nova gestures to toggle the status bar and/or pull down notifications?
[Nova Launcher] kirbymaster101:
So like how do we use it, apex has settings but what about nova?
[Nova Launcher] commissionerg:
No I was using swipestatusbar. I disabled and uninstalled it to make sure that wasn't causing the issue. The wallpaper only goes black when I activate the hide status bar feature in Nova.

Are you saying gesture control in Nova could be the issue? Thanks for responding.
[Nova Launcher] PhilipTD:
Well, I had the same problem when using a 3rd party app gesture to toggle the status bar. It was quite weird because a one-touch gesture works fine, while the same gesture with two touches causes the wallpaper to go nuts, fade transitions, changing to black, to stock, back to black, etc. I troubleshot: un-/re-installing, wiping, etc., and it resolved. For some reason, I'm thinking that you should test with that static live wallpaper available on the store.
[Nova Launcher] t3chn0s1s:
Nova doesn't have a menu for theme support like Apex does. In Apex you can choose to apply any combination of Icons, Skin, Wallpaper and Font. In Nova you just apply everything individually. Nova doesn't allow for 'skins' to be chosen specifically, as far as I can tell. But, under Look & Feel you can choose an overall color theme. To apply wallpapers you just long press the desktop and choose from the different wallpaper categories/themes by swiping left and right. I also like that Nova gives you the ability to individually theme icons - not only on your home screen but, in the app drawer as well. I admit that while Nova lacks the 'themes' option offered the way Apex does - I feel like it more than makes up for with it's other customization options. As far as themes are concerned - with Nova, the only piece you're really missing compared to Apex is the 'skins' (which only ends up being overall color accent (which Nova gives the option to tweak manually) and folder skinning).

[Nova Launcher] commissionerg:
I tried the static live wallpaper. It didn't work. I restored from an previous nandroid backup and that fixed it. I still don't know what caused it. Hope I don't do it again. Thanks for the help.

I don't know where those settings are. I've resolved the issue now but I don't remember touching those before. Could you tell me where exactly those settings are so I can try to recreate the issue so I know how to fix it if it happens again. Thanks
[Nova Launcher] Bob823:
Shadow effects should be in Nova settings under "Desktop" just below the Google searchbar style. But I don't think that had anything to do with your problem.

When you change the name of an app in the drawer and apply a custom icon pack, that icon is no longer given any sort of icon change (i.e. masking).

hi guys, just a quick question. does this launcher supports show icon label/ names in dock? sorry, thread is too long to read :D
[Nova Launcher] Jabberwockyyy:
You most definitely can. You can even change the icons in the drawer individually, which is the one single feature that made me pick this launcher over apex. I have the paid versions of both andI this takes the crown by a slight edge.
[Nova Launcher] pacoguevara:
You can do it in Apex also.

I have both paid versions. They are both great and I keep going back and forth. I'm currently using Apex, just because it allows me to set the upper right button in the apps drawer to the store, whereas Nova won't.

Haven't seen that bug.
[Nova Launcher] californicated:
Mhh..now also happens on 2.2.2. Let's try if a reboots helps

If not, you could try some general troubleshooting: clearing Nova's cache and data in Manage Apps, and, if still no luck, from recovery, fix permissions, wipe cache and dalvik.
[Nova Launcher] californicated:
Tried everything other than fixing permissions. It caused some issues for me in the past. Issue still exists..

But I've asked in the Rom's thread. If no one experiences the issue here, it must be rom related. Several user over there have the same bug.

Good luck over there, then.
[Nova Launcher] mrdoug:
I'm having something similar in the new release (2.2.3).

At times, and even with aggressive desktop, when hitting the home button it will jump to the phones original (HTC one) app drawer. If I hit home, I go back to Nova (as it is my default launcher).

I went back to the prior release to make sure it is only in the new Nova. I will email a log file shortly.

How can I change nova backups path ?
[Nova Launcher] Hdhntr23:
Hello all!

I have a couple questions about Nova.

First my stats:

Im running Synergy ROM on a Verizon GS4.

I have Nova Prime 2.2.3

Here are my questions or issues:

If I change the global theme to a certain color, (#33b5e5) my font/text still is in white for the folder names?

In landscape, in the app drawer, the folder names (I've put all of my app shortcuts into folders) dont usually show up. Although I believe a couple of times I have seen them.

Sometimes the icons show as a droid vs. the actual app icon, usually they are the Nova apps/settings but a few others do this as well. How can I get the correct icons to show all the time? (I'm running the "Prime Icon" theme.

Can I change the folders Ive created to be an icon vs. a fan, grid or stack? If so, how can I change that icon?

Lastly for now... when I put in a new desktop wallpaper it wants to scale it. On stock TW launcher it doesnt scale it. How can I get Nova to NOT scale the picture I want to use for desktop OR for lock screen?

Thanks in advance!
[Nova Launcher] yomiguy:
I'm happy to hear that man! ;) I've been one or two weeks with this option activated, and I haven't neither felt a higher battery drain at all!! :)

After installing over 1000 apps on my SGS3, Nova Launcher force closes. Should this be happening? Yes, I know 1000 apps on one device is absurd, but it is possible. I was curious if this is an android limitation or Nova Launcher limitation? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Correct. When I want to restore, I simply copy and paste from the remote folder to the local default one. With FolderSync, you can also keep originals, delete source files after transfer, overwrite oldest, etc. Once configured, it's really awesome to be able to not have to worry about it. I even backup my roms to the cloud automatically with Foldersync with Rom Toolbox (I prefer to do it with FolderSync, rather than through the RT cloud backup feature, because I like to set up the remote folders myself with their own names, etc.).
