*sigh*

As you say, this has been mentioned several times so far, but noone has identified a way to reproduce it. I've never seen it, and nor have many others who use the exact same widgets and setup which you have mentioned. So, we have to do some testing to identify the culprit. I see 2 ways of going about this:

1. Remove ALL your widgets from ALL your homescreens. Add them back one at a time until it breaks. Make sure to test a bit between each widget. This will tell us at least one widget which NovaLauncher doesn't like, and then the dev can do some testing against that exact widget to work out what's going wrong and fix it.

2. Detail your EXACT setup (ROM, kernel, NovaLauncher version and settings, ALL widgets and their EXACT positions and settings) so that someone else can duplicate your setup and perform the above testing.

Same goes for anyone else having this problem. Let's give the dev something he can reproduce, shall we? ;)

Id like to see the dock gradient on a toggle. It looks bad with my transparent navigation bar mod. I re themed the hotseat backgrounds to be totally transparent, but that not really the way to go. Probobly just adding a set of transparent hotseats and refrencing those when the toggle is selected would be easiest. Otherwise I am satisfied with Nova. Streamlined and simplistic is what i like.
[Nova Launcher] belmore:
You were right. I went and hit force stop and it started updating fine...until now. Just looked at it and noticed that it's stuck on 8:41.

Running GummyNex 0.5.6 with Imo's minimalistic 1.6.6 kernal. 5x5 grid on Nova with stretch all widgets checked (I've tried having it unchecked, didn't help). I've uninstalled and reinstalled Fancy Widgets. All other widgets update fine. Beautiful widgets worked fine for a while when FW has having problems, but then the time eventually stopped on it too.

Time in status bar: 9:05, time on widget: 8:41

Not a bug of Nova. It is how your device handles cached data. Some devices keep a little android guy icon where that icon was until you reboot.

The savage mutilation of the human race is set on course

Can anyone help me out and tell me why does Nova crash whenever I pick certain wallpapers? It didn't crash before the 2017 update but now it does and it annoys me as hell because there are wallpapers I wanna use but I can't.
[Nova Launcher] umeshxda:
Sometimes gestures wont work...!
[Nova Launcher] Ja_som:
Try to reset data for Nova
[Nova Launcher] Oliie23:
How do I do that? Any chance to do that without losing stuff like the position of my icons?
[Nova Launcher] Ja_som:
That's the point of deleting data.

Do a backup in Nova settings, in system Settings - Apps find Nova and delete data. Then try to change wallpaper, if it is OK you can try to restore backup in Nova settings. Then again try to change wall, if it fails, then is something with your setup, if it is OK, enjoy ;)
[Nova Launcher] Reechings:
If you're coming from Apex, I find you have to be more deliberate with gestures on Nova. I miss how responsive swipe down gesture was on Apex but the rest of Nova makes up for it.
[Nova Launcher] umeshxda:
No...my first launcher apart from stock is nova... Im using it from more than 3 years...

Sometimes gestures doesn't work itself... I have to lock the device and unlock it then it works fine

Hmmm, getting a few redraws on htc 10 with free memory, no zram, option checked for persistence, any ideas?

[Nova Launcher] Bartol0ll0:
I really like the option to hide apps, it just saved my life :victory:

Keep doing great job!
[Nova Launcher] scottjb:
Same here, sometimes gestures don't work on my Pixel. Using gestures is the main reason I used Nova.
[Nova Launcher] jcmm11:
It occasionally happens to me. When it does I usually notice that swipe up (use it a lot) initiates the app drawer instead.

To fix it I go into Nova advanced settings and restart Nova, then everything works again.

Doesn't happen very often and the fix takes only a few seconds. Would be better if it never happened, but I can live with it for now. Mildly annoying at worst (for me).
[Nova Launcher] liquidguru:
Just updated to the latest beta.. none of my multi finger gestures are now working.

Single swipe down and up work...

Two finger swipe up and down do not work

Two finger rotation not working

[Nova Launcher] Sami Jildeh:
They are aware of this problem and they are working on it.
[Nova Launcher] liquidguru:
New update and now all working. Thank you for the speedy update
[Nova Launcher] MultiCulti:
Short question!

the app drawer is closing very fast, just with a very short swipe down, so it comes often its closing to early, just on swiping trough the horizontal Register!

is there a way to change the lengh of the needed swipe down???
[Nova Launcher] Nex23:
Exactly; please fix that. It is unuseable like that. It should close when it is about 40% down not after only 5% down.

Also the scolling is weird, i think sometimes it scolls in the oposite direction for a second.

Thanks for the work, no problems otherwise.

(I would like to be able to deactive the menues of the icons, so that it the icon folter and icon menue look clean as in the Pixel Launcher. But this is advanced and can be added later :).)
[Nova Launcher] jr866gooner:
Yeah it's good but you can't change app drawer icon in night mode.....
[Nova Launcher] subhani:
I mentioned this before in another post as well. Hope it gets fixed.

However, I ACTUALLY like the way the drawer closes. It feels really responsive and effortless.

Just bought the prime version, been using it for ages, now wanted to support the developer [emoji1]

One question though, on nougat pure nexus 7.1.1 I use substratum swift dark theme and when I apply the theme on nova nothing happens. Is it because of dark mode?
[Nova Launcher] Ja_som:
Yes, I also use Swift Dark theme and the Night mode is enabled. I'm not sure what should be themed because I tried to disable Night mode, but Nova was white. So, I enabled the Night mode :)

Hello,

Not sure if anyone here can help me with this.

I have the 10.1 inch Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T580 running Marshmallow and I am rooted. I changed my DPI from 240 to 320 from the cli using adb, because I wanted my fonts and apps to look bigger, I am using this tablet in a car.

Now, I cannot get the dock in Nova Launcher to be in landscape mode, it is stuck in the right hand side in portrait mode. I even force landscape in the settings, but I can never get the dock to be horizontal (landscape).

I switch to TouchWiz and I am able to see the dock in landscape mode, but when I switch back to Nova, I cannot get it to be in landscape.
[Nova Launcher] Ja_som:
Probably Nova now thinks you have a phone. Nova does not have feaure to chenge it. But, if you have Xposed, you can try some module, e.g. GravityBox, but if it will work on your Samsung, because it is not made for Samsung devices.

Just read that Google will discontinue Google Now Launcher but have made it easier for OEM to integrate the feed. Are there plans to have Google Now in Nova Launcher?
[Nova Launcher] baltics:
It can be confusing but basically there is:

1. The Google Now Launcher.

2. Google App

3. Google Now/Assistant.

The 'feed' comes from the Google App. It is not necessary to have the Google Launcher installed.

Whether Google Now or Google Assistant functionality is available when long pressing home button depends on whether one owns a Pixel XL phone (or change the build prop to make it appear so).

The end of the Launcher will not affect 2 or 3 above. Nor does it matter which launcher one uses to use those functions.

Quick dial widget 'permission denied'

Hello! I cannot get the Quick Dial widget to work at all! It works if I use the stock launcher, but not when I use Nova Launcher. I'm running the latest version of Nova Launcher (5.0.2) on a rooted Huawei Mate 9. I can create the Quick Dial link/icon but when I try to click it, it says "permission denied." Is there any way to fix this? I would hate to have to switch back to the stock launcher because of this!
[Nova Launcher] drakenabarion:
I looked back a few hundred posts and didn't see a mention yet.

Huawei has a version of nougat that introduces a app twin system. It is like a secondary instance of the program that is separate to the primary instance, and acts like a separate app as far as the system is concerned. They are viewable as a separate entry in the recent apps screen, and they get their own notifications etc.

However there is no way to make a shortcut to the secondary instance outside the huawei home launcher.

It might be impossible, but, do you think nova could be trained to create a shortcut for the secondary instances?

I will provide whatever information needed to help to enable that.

hey there

found a little bug within version 5.0.2. The volume down button does not work in nova launcher, doesnt matter if any BT-Audio or Head/phone -set is connected. Pressing the volume up button first brings up the volume bars but even then i am not able to low the volume. think its something about the LABS function in NL (long press volume down while in options of nova launcher brings up the Labs Menu to do development settings). don know if this is the right place to consider a bug but here you are :)

Hello,

from the version 5.0, something prevents to center the wallpaper on the screen (at least with only one "page" size desktop).

If I add a new desktop page (total 2 pages), the image re-centered and remain correctly centered even if I remove it and return to one desktop page size.

At restart the center is lost again and the image is left aligned.

It's not possible to move the image to choose a custom position (attached image)

No response from support@teslacoilsw.com :mad:
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
You need to crop the wallpaper to your desired view or resize the wall, or find the wall with the dimensions of your device's screen.

Nova have to center the wallpaper!

Still too themed for me, I just want stock icons with no circles. It's for me and for an older user who's finding the icons change difficult to work with.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Try MaterialiOS, or moonshine for a stock look. Also, Glim is a good option with lots of color variants while maintaining stock look. Newer icon pack continuum has shapeless and round stock icon choices...

To all the amazing, smart, strong females that continue to change the world... Thank you.

Try Urmun icon pack.

I see that you use a custom ROM, check if it does not have another separate setting for it... Otherwise, I don't know what can be your issue.

It doesn't has any settings for that. I am using a ROM based on Touchwiz. Can this be the problem? Thank you!

Desktop Pagination: Usability gripe

Dear Folks,

As a Nova Prime proud supporter, I do have one long standing usability gripe with Nova Launcher. That is with its desktop pagination. Specifically, the inability to move app icons into the columns at the screen's left/right edges without them creating a new page or barreling into the existing adjacent page. Let me elaborate with a list of finer point scenarios.

On large 10.1" or 12" tablets, with the Desktop Grid expanded out to its maximum width icon allowance:

With Infinite Scroll disabled, you can drag an app icon all the way to the left edge of the left-most desktop page (icon column 1 of page 1). With Infinite Scroll enabled, this is also not possible.

With Subgrid Positioning enabled, you can drag an app icon very close to the left or right edge of any page, but not all the way into the edge column. The closest you can drag an icon is into column 1.5 or column 11.5 (but not column 1 or 12). With Subgrid Positioning disabled, you can VERY CAREFULLY, and only SOMETIMES, manage to get an app icon into column 1 or column 12, if you have a pen stylus and great patience and a steady hand.

If you're very clever, you can start off in an adjacent page, try to drag an icon to the edge column, drop it, and hope it lands into the edge column on the page you actually intended to drop it on. Though sometimes it winds up in a random column if you release too quickly.

In all cases, trying to drag an app icon to the edge column of a page, winds up barreling into the adjacent page, like a bowling ball, wrecking all the icons on that page which you spent so carefully getting just right. Forcing you to start all over again.

When a user Long Presses their desktop, then scrolls right to a <new page>, they're presented with a Plus Button (+) which gives them the option to MANUALLY create a page. Doing so instructs them that they can use this option to afford a more fine-grained control over page creation, but advises them that pages are automatically created by dragging icons to that page...

I want to see an option that makes this manual page creation the defacto method, and disables icon-dragging auto page creation. I want to see an option that makes it a lot harder to accidentally drag an icon from one page to another page unless the user shows real intent in doing so -- give a 2.5 or 3.0 second count before the page is flipped, allowing the user time to drop the icon onto the edge column of the page. I want to see the dragging edge made narrower and moved further to the screen's edge, so it's not consuming the entire width of Column 1 and Column [12]. I want to force a single-page desktop, the same way I can force a single-page Dock.

I hope someone else is having these same frustrations as I. I'm using Nova Launcher on 3 tablets and 2 phones, and this issue is especially prominent on each of the tablets.

Thanks for listening.
