[Nova Launcher] 19-2000:
In old directory get file from backup (name it in a way that is not launcher's default name, ex 'nova123') in sdcard/android/data/com.teslacoil.launcher/backup, put the file in root folder in extsd for now.

Now, go to nova settings, make him do a backup (random backup name made of date/hour is ok). He' ll create automatically a folder in sdcard0/data/com.teslacoil.launcher/backup where there will be new backup. Now from root folder in extsd go back and get your previous backup called 'nova123' and do a cut&paste in new directory ( sdcard0/data/com.teslacoil.launcher/backup), go into nova settings - backup&restore - restore - nova123 will appear.

There you should be ok

May i suggest you of doing a backup folder in dropbox (or your favorite cloud storage) where you "mirror" all your backup settings, and every once in a week (for example) you upload your data in dropbox. I made an apk folder where i made exact copy of settings directory in drop box (ex for nova I made: apk/data/com.teslacoil.launcher/backup) so even though if you oftenly wipe your phone, if titaniumbackup may fail (it may happen), all main program/launchers/widgets settings are saved and can be restore in a matter of seconds.

I would like to make a request if it is possible.

Kevin, exatly as for drawer grid option, can you put an option to select a different desktop grid for landscape mode? Actually i never understood why this option is missing. Apex launcher actually has it. To be honest, apex having also tablet ui (i know you working on it), with landscape grid option, when i use my note2 not in portrait mode, I switch launcher, but it's quite a pain in the ass.

If nova gets landscape grid+tablet ui (maybe working in both portrait&landscape like apex) I'll be very happy to throug apex to the bin (I hate having too many launchers installed, already frozen touchwiz).

Sorry for my ot

I have a question, hope it isn't too noobish. I've tinkered around with the widget resizing settings, and no matter what nova resizes my poweramp 4x1 widget into a 1x1 and when I restore it it looks jumbled. Anyway to stop this?

I've attached images of this happening, plz help.

Really? In my experience, Nova has always been smoother. I used Apex for a while when I first used ICS and then one day decided to use Nova and was impressed by how smoother it was over Apex. Especially the widget drawer. Guess it's ymmv.

Android Pro Widgets scrolling performance

@Kevin,

I know you read this thread so here goes...........

Your launcher is brilliant. It's ultra smooth on both homescreen and app drawer scrolling. No lags at all, none, nada,zilch.

The only issue I have with the best Android launcher of them all is this.

I use Android Pro Widgets A LOT (facebook, twitter and calendar widgets). I know recently you increased the scrolling cache for widgets and added a couple of extra "tweaks" to the labs section in respect of widgets scrolling. Whilst this has helped a little, there is still some slight lag/jerkiness when scrolling through these APW widgets.

My question/request to you Kevin is will you please increase the widget scrolling cache a little more please. It's almost there, just not quite.

Thanks Kev and thanks for your efforts so far.

@Kevin pls make a OWN Order option for the drawer, if it's hard to be implemented after the work is done you can include it as a prime feature. (I have buyed this app in prime version because is so smooth on my Xperia Neo V and to support the future development of Nova Launcher, but i miss much the OWN Order from the xperia home launcher).

One more thing, please make one option so we can separate the APPS section from WIDGETS section, in my case i don't like to enter directly from apps to widgets without select myself this section (i don't add every day new widgets on my desktop so is useless to navigate directly there from apps section).

Hi Kevin

I have issues on the Drawer : when applying a CM10 theme the applications icônes are not changing

Only the first time it's OK,after that it seems that Nova has memorised the last icon set even after a reboot

I'm on ParanoidAndroid

Seems I didn't have this issue on 1.3.2
[Nova Launcher] BYTeXperience:
Don't work in my case, i have tryed that before ask here and when i select that option i can't enter on widgets anymore (i touch the widgets section but nothing happens, i can't see any widget, the launcher remain on apps section).

Issue with 2.0 - update of beweather widget

I have had an issue with the 2.0 beta - it seems that I have had this issue since beta4.

Occasionally, the time display for my beweather clock/weather widget is off by an hour or two. For example, it is now 1:44PM, and beweather shows the time as 11:44AM. The time never corrects itself unless I restart nova launcher (or restart my phone). What happens is the clock will keep going, but it will remain 2 hours behind. I have been unable to identify any consistent pattern of when or why this happens.

I have already tried checking "restart widgets on resume" in the labs section.

The problem is intermittent, but to the best of my knowledge this began with beta4 (at least that is when it first came to my attention). I have been on every beta since then, and there doesn't seem to have been any change.

If I can assist with diagnosing the issue, please let me know.

Thanks for the great program and new features!
[Nova Launcher] solarus2011:
I'm having the same issue. The problem isn't that the time is off it just puts the "1" in front of the 12hr format time so for example 1:30 reads 11:30 and 5:30 reads 15:30.

Using Xylon 2/24 version and Franco 20 Kernel.

Is there a way to get widgets all the way to the left of screen in landscape? I have set the persistent search bar to never but it still leaves room for it in landscape
[Nova Launcher] LOBBS:
I just updated to beta9 and it is running like a champ. I would love to see the color theme and icon resizing also incorporated into the next version of Widgetlocker for continuity between the apps. It has always been a bit of an annoyance that my holo "unreads" in WL didn't match my Nova setup.

A few bugs in 2.0 beta 9

Just installed 2.0 beta 9. A few things I noticed...

- First, using "small" dock icons in landscape mode on a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 with the divider active... The icons now touch the divider on their left edge but have plenty of space to their right. So, they're shifted to the left in the available space between the divider and the right edge of the screen. I'd guess this is related to the "Fix widget position in dock" comment, as they were not positioned like this in the previous beta.

- The animation associated with scrolling dock icons only works "sometimes". I have 2 dock pages and if I flip between them a few times I lose the animation. When that happens, the pages still change, but without any animation. However, with further fiddling, the animation will sometimes return. In the last official release, the animation never worked for me - now it works "sometimes".

- Toggling the dock (via the Nova Action button) is buggy in certain scenarios - at least in landscape mode. Here's one example.

Start in portrait with dock on

Rotate to landscape

Toggle dock off. The dock disappears, but the space it was using is not used. Instead, the screen content grows to the left to use the blank strip that was there.

Attempt to turn the dock back on by pressing "Toggle Dock" button. However, the button is now unresponsive and does nothing. The dock can be reactivated by either 1) rotate to portrait and press "Toggle Dock" or 2) rotate to portrait, rotate back to landscape, then press "Toggle Dock".

Anyway, this is a really great launcher - keep up the good work!

[Nova Launcher] yhrn:
Ah crap, I spoke to early. The behavior I reported is gone when swiping between tab groups but I still get the same behavior when selecting them by tapping the tab title. For example, if I swipe from custom tab 2 to custom tab 3 everything works as it should but if I select custom tab 3 by tapping its title I either see the contents of custom tab 4 (if my previous position was to the left) or nothing (if my previous position was to the right).

I think I found and fixed the image async issues some of you were having with clock widgets (I wasn't able to reproduce however). Let me know if it's still occurring. I've also split the Image Async labs settings into two, one for list widgets which has the bigger benefit of smoother list scrolling anyway and one for general widgets (like clock widgets) that can be disabled if the issues persists without losing the benefit for lists, but please let me know if you find the need to do this as I'd rather properly fix the issue or disable that setting by default until I can.
