Bricked handset?

I had Nova Launcher installed in my System/Apps directory. Rebooted the handset, the update screen came up. I selected Nova as my default launcher and then the screen went blank. I couldn't do anything.

Powering on just gives me the loadup screen, then goes black.

I've tried a factory reset in CWM, but still nothing.

Help? :(
[Nova Launcher] demo23019:
Anyone theming this i need help

im modding the folder icons to match my dock icons

ring with glass only problem is the first app comes threw and overlays is there a way to fix this

this is what i got so far
[Nova Launcher] SensationUK:
Fixed it, but had to do a factory reset again and lost all my phone's settings :(

Not sure what happened, but I won't be putting Nova launcher in the System area again.

I've had other ICS launchers in there without issue, not sure what Nova did wrong?

I'm using an HTC Sensation on ICS 4.3. Rooted etc.
[Nova Launcher] Part Four:

[Nova Launcher] PrimeDeluxe:

Kevin posted in here only a day or so ago, so I am sure he is still around working on the next update.
[Nova Launcher] maarrrrr:
Best ICS launcher!
[Nova Launcher] DevinLeFevere:
Yes it is! I just ran across this and FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU :cool:
[Nova Launcher] freak4dell:
Excellent piece of work! I bought LauncherPro Plus ages ago, and this is the first other launcher that hasn't made me go back to LauncherPro.

Hopefully we'll see more customization in the app drawer in the future, mainly either customizable tabs, or folders in the app drawer...or hey, both, so everybody can be happy!

This one is a keeper for sure.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I have to agree completely. As a long-time LauncherPro Plus user, I have to agree that this is the first launcher that ever made me consider switching. There's a new generation of launchers being introduced these days, and Nova is at the head of the class! Really outstanding work! :)

Used this launcher since day 1. As much as I love it, I just found an interesting issue with it...When using mClock, the widget does not appear on the home screen after setting it up. I know this issue is launcher related because it works on every other launcher that I've tried!

nova launcher is far from the best ics launcher :S
[Nova Launcher] CamoGeko:
I'm glad someone else finally said what I was thinking. This launcher is loosing out since there hasn't been an update for ages, OP is nowhere to be seen as well.

Apex Launcher is much smoother and very soon will overtake Nova on the features. :)
[Nova Launcher] Vilcek:
Hi,

is there a way to transfer the desktop setup ( widgets, app, icons) to the Apex Launcher?

Thx
[Nova Launcher] JustusIV:
For the heck of it i installed nova on my CM9 nook color, it does run way better then the stock launcher however there are a few issues. First i am not seeing a dock. Second i am only getting about 16 icons per page in drawer and i am not seeing that i can change that....

Anyone else run nova on a nook?
[Nova Launcher] CamoGeko:
Not as far as I know.

The backups of settings and desktop configuration between these 2 launchers are not interchangeable.
[Nova Launcher] Vilcek:
Then I am stuck with NOVA, too lazy to change...
[Nova Launcher] Piccles:
The icons look cool!
[Nova Launcher] wolfboy1984:
I'm impressed with Apex. Super smooth... No changable icons tho.

What are the other ICS launcher beta's?

Sent from my ICSed i9000.
[Nova Launcher] Piccles:

It will be the official CM9 Launcher.

I'm aware of that.

[Nova Launcher] Nordpolcamper:
Still an awesome launcher^^

but would be sweet to be able to set a dock background image^^
[Nova Launcher] wilcomir:
Maybe quit talking about other launchers in a specific launcher dedicated thread is a good (polite) idea.

You know, it's like going in a restaurant and ask the customers if they know a good restaurant.
[Nova Launcher] wolfboy1984:
Competition = better end product. (That will sell better for the dev's in the Market.)

They aren't making a nicey nice launcher especially for you. Stop waving flags and being so precious.

Point taken tho. I'll find the correct thread.

[Nova Launcher] banesi:
it will be nice if we can change this ugly circular background when you have multiple icons or even better, removing it completetly
[Nova Launcher] windroidHD:
Nova launcher seems to be connecting to google analytics even after disabling usage reporting in preferences, even after app restart or reboot google analytics is still trying to send usage info.

Hopefully this bug will be fixed in next release, till then switching to another launcher.
[Nova Launcher] SveGa:
Excellent launcher! It is beautifully issued!
[Nova Launcher] demo23019:
Posted pics of my modded folders few pages back and this is my final result :D
[Nova Launcher] popfan:
Loving this launcher - far, far better than the stock launcher ever will be.

Noticed 2 things though - on the 4 x 1 weather widgets from HD widgets and Beautiful widgets with a 240 dpi and 5 row and 4 column setting that some of the weather data is getting cut off.

Sorry about no screenshot.

It will give the an idea on what needs to be changed

he has an invisible folder mod but might not work on your device
[Nova Launcher] danman7:
You can definitely change the folder icons to something more to your liking.
[Nova Launcher] cenonmin:
For me, I have no problems with the way it looks. Just get it stable and dock gestures working and it will be sweet ;)
[Nova Launcher] demo23019:
Not talking about changing the icon. Talking about modding the actual folder, has to be done threw the apk

Changing just the icon u can't preview the apps inside
[Nova Launcher] fKm:
Any chance of a transparent background at the app-drawer in near future?
[Nova Launcher] mhwarfield:
Somehow, I don't see Nova as having done this. Something else may have gone wrong, and plenty can. It does point out though, that when you are tinkering with things like this, always have a recent backup to fall back on. I keep 3 complete back threads on my phone. An ics-a5 thread for Deck's ICS ROM with both Trebuchet and Nova Launcher on it, a plain backup which is the latest up to date CM7 nightly downloaded, and a kang thread of my own kangs that I've built from CM. I consider that to be my "get out of REALLY SCREWED UP free" card.
[Nova Launcher] onasri15:
Need a way to put widgets OR unread count in dock. I'm trying to use sms unread count but that won't go in the dock :(
[Nova Launcher] Palthron:
Confirming bug.
[Nova Launcher] mulletcutter:
If you have 2 then it will do that, 3+ it shouldn't
[Nova Launcher] Thejungle:
Please, add folders in drawer! It's very important feature!
[Nova Launcher] stupid_productions:
It does it too me once in a while with 3 as well. Doesn't always do it, but when it does it takes a few minutes to fix itself. The preview window shows everything proper but the screen itself will be blank.
[Nova Launcher] mulletcutter:
I got 4 and it has not done it. If u wiggle the screen back and forth it should show up
[Nova Launcher] r-l:
i got a feeling this project is diying :(

apex launcher looks promissing to, but aslong there's no custom icons in it i'll stay on nova
[Nova Launcher] arkabeoeht:
Really?

I couldn't even get a large icon... but if you went to add an icon one time you would get a small one and then the same icon could end up being large later? That sounds like a bug for sure.
[Nova Launcher] snppr22:
I have (kind of) found the solution for the widget issue - move it to a new screen. It's annoying, but it does solve the issue. You can remove it from that screen, but it will come back same as old. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.
[Nova Launcher] GirLuvsDroid:
I'm so impressed with this launcher. I have only one feature request: is it possible at some point to add the ability to backup Nova Launcher settings and desktop to /mnt/sdcard and to restore them from there?

Again, thank you for your stellar work kevin@teslacoil!
[Nova Launcher] dead-I:
+1 on that, also is it possible to eliminate the cap on the number of apps we can place in a folder?
[Nova Launcher] roloracer:
Really loving the nova launcher over the stock ICS launcher , the only thing it would make it perfect for me will be to be able to add more pages , to have more room for widgets, sorry but got used to launcher pro, and adw with 7 pages, don't personally use more than 3 dock pages but could use more home screens.

Awesome work. Thanks :)

Anyway to import default launcher settings?

While I could spend the hour setting it up like I have on the default ICS launcher, was wondering if there was an easier way of importing the layout I have already.

Awesome launcher so far...thanks for the work. If this is a beta, I cannot wait for the real thing!
[Nova Launcher] Lirankn:
Can you please make the App drawer icon have haptic feedback when you press on it?

Thanks! Great launcher

I just thought of this, but would it be possible to get an SMS and Missed Call counter for the dock? Thank you for all the effort that's going into this, it's really turning out great!! :)

Feature Suggestions

Some suggestions:

folders in the app drawer

per page grid size

enable the menu button on the homescreen and in the app drawer

app drawer grid sizing

more screen and app drawer transitions

option to disable app drawer icon labels.

other than those small quibbles this is any awesome launcher, been running it on my DX since about an hour after i installed ICS. i have been avid widgetlocker user and i cant wait to see where this launcher goes!!!!
[Nova Launcher] KBanause:
Please don't make it over-featured. More features only mean more memory usage...

wew. I love this launcher. looks very stock but is 2x snappier... thanks!
[Nova Launcher] karmatt:
Great launcher, however I would love to get an option with smaller margins

Minor Request

I just started using nova and so far i'm definitely liking it, however there is one tiny thing which i miss from the stock launcher, hopefully it is possible to be added to nova.. when i hit the all apps button on the stock launcher, it gives the vibration feedback like it does for the bottom buttons, i like the feedback.. is there any chance you can add this in or give an option for it? Thanks a bunch
[Nova Launcher] lynseyw:
Love it thanks. Would love to see an option for number of home screens. I dont need 5 homescreens. I would like to change the option to 3.

Edit: Sorry saw this is already planned. Cant wait.

Also request to be able to add folders in folders on the homescreen.
[Nova Launcher] haproot:
Same here as well. They would appear behind other Widgets. Then my Gmail widget would crash all the time. Using another launcher right now. No more issues since.
[Nova Launcher] InfrnalSky:
I second this.
[Nova Launcher] jameslfc5:
I feel the same :/ I'm switching
[Nova Launcher] thomasmatt25:
I just switched. Swipe gestures are what ha me sold. Plus I feel as if Apex is much smoother. Just sucks that Kevin kinda fell off. I hope nothing is wrong?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Wow... I guess impatience is the word of the day... Just because there hasn't been an update for a few weeks, doesn't mean the project has been abandoned. Any of you who have used LPP should know what a REAL abandoned project looks like. Give Kevin a break; maybe he has school, maybe he's sick, or just maybe, he has... *gasp* ... an actual LIFE other than coding all day every day. If you feel like another launcher better fits your needs, then fine, kick rocks...but there's no need to broadcast negative opinions and unfounded rumors. Enjoy Apex...it's a nice launcher, but please, don't start bashing a guy who does something that nobody else here can/will do (ie. Create a launcher). :-\

[Nova Launcher] b.huss2:
please stop clogging up the thread about other launchers and how your switching because your not getting what you want. it's very disrespectful to the developer. what do you guys expect? people have lives other than spoon feeding you your updates. besides that it was only a week or so ago since the last update. if your gonna switch, then switch and go post about it somewhere else.

edit: LOL jjhiza beat me to it!
[Nova Launcher] thomasmatt25:
Oh boy.....posting somewhere else that I wanted to switch would serve no purpose. There are probably plenty of users here that may be timid to say something because of fear of getting flamed. The hostility of "rock kicking" and demanding being spoon fed is absurd. Posting about switching in this thread is rightfully fitting. Not every XDA member has the smarts to search and may rely a little to much on other members posts but that's life. I am well aware that devs have lives, really I do. But if you follow from the beginning till now, it does seem like Kevins involvement has slightly decreased. Hence having people wonder if there If there is a better alternative out there. I'm just saying that I was a little relieved to find out I'm not the only one considering switching.

I hope all of you have a FANTASTIC day. You're not promised a tomorrow so relax, chill and enjoy it!
[Nova Launcher] mulletcutter:
Just cuz there hasn't been a update in a while doesn't mean it doesn't work good. This launcher works very well. I'll still use this even tho there r no more updates
[Nova Launcher] CamoGeko:
First of all, just want to say that I agree with above posters. There shouldn't be any "I'm switching because...." talk in this thread, keep it to yourselves.

However, it really does not take more than 5 mins to pop up and write us an update on what's going on. Unless he's of course stranded on an island with no means of connection to the outside world. Also just making 1 post at least re-assures the followers that nothing bad has happened.

It's no surprise that this launcher will soon be overtaken on features by the competition.
[Nova Launcher] thomasmatt25:
Agreed!
[Nova Launcher] dellybelly:
Just a heads up; I installed LeeDroids extended powermenu and seems it doesn't get along with Nova for me; Nova seems to throw the "Unfortunately NovaLauncher has stopped".

no update needed

I for one am happy we haven't seen an update for a while. When something works, don't mess with it :)

Thanks for the hard work on this launcher, I use it and think that it is what stock should have been ;)

Sometimes its nice having an app that doesn't update daily. Gives me a chance to use my phone rather than update everything all the time lol.

just my $.02
[Nova Launcher] DominoDoug:
Haters gonna hate.
[Nova Launcher] sabbotage:
The apex thread was started on January 18th and there hasn't been an update to it yet and the last update for Nova was January 19th so I'm not even sure why people are complaining when the updates for both have been about the same. This launcher has had many updates and Apex hasn't had any yet. So I say use what launcher you like and enjoy it.

Can't select an ADW Icon Pack

i've installed Nova Launcher on CM9/Epic4G.

i've also installed an ADW Icon Pack. when I select/Edit an app's icon, selec "ADW Icon Pack", i get a dialog:

Select icon pack

No applications can perform this action.

iiuc, the app performing this action should be the Nova launcher, no?

others in this thread seems to be using Nova + ADW Icon Packs. what am i missing?
[Nova Launcher] Sboulema:
You have to install an ADW icon pack form the market, like for example Ice Cream Sandwich (theme)
[Nova Launcher] n756gkj:
right. as i'd initally mentioned in my post, i have installed an ADW Icon Pack ...

specifically, i installed:

True White Icon Pack

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.customlaunchericons.truewhite

which the author verified via email is, in fact, an ADW Icon Pack.

App dock icons disappearing

I have this running on the leaked 4.04 update, however this also occured before on stock 4.02. At random times I lose my dock icons. I thought it was because I was using SimpleText files, however even with the stock icons, they disappear. The only way to get them back is to manually re-add them. I love the launcher, just asking for help. Thanks!
[Nova Launcher] im.nick.hello:
i have had some problems with icons too, when a icon is changed in a app it does not update in nova.

ex: google voice
[Nova Launcher] physix:
I had this same problem, too. I knew we COULD change the icons because I had NOVA on a different ICS ROM for the 4G.

But I reinstalled the icon pack or the ADW themes that I had before and the ability to change the icons came back.

I guess installing this theme deleted all other themes/icons.

If you haven't already, try re-installing the icon/theme pack and see if that helps.
[Nova Launcher] n756gkj:
Installing/re-installing any of the standalone "ADW Icon Packs" I've tried results in the same problem -- no recognition by Nova.

Otoh, installing a full ADW Theme, which include icons, seems to do the trick -- Nova recognizes the theme as an isntalled IconPack, and its icons are recognized and usable.

[Bug] Dragging widgets with infinite scroll

Even if infinite scroll is enabled for the desktop, we can't drag a widget past the last screen on either side.
[Nova Launcher] SQurel23:
The same happened to me on my Xoom. Try changing the home screen grid to 7x8. This seemed to work for me.

---------- Post added at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 PM ----------

Using Nova on my Nexus and Xoom...loving it so far. Lots of customization and still smooth as butter. One request, is it possible to include the feature that allows you to touch the side of the screen on a tablet to scroll through the homescreens?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Have you tried changing the dock margin and number of icons to be displayed? I ask, because it seems the launcher is set to display 4 icons by default, but it will allow you to insert 5, leading to icons vanishing randomly at times. Try setting it to display 5 icons (you can probably leave the margins alone), and see if that helps at all. :)

UPDATES???

was nova launcher abandoned? there have not been any updates in a while.
[Nova Launcher] Gamero92:
Excelent launcher it's my favorite until now, I use an Inspire 4G with ICS and it works pretty well and very smooth, although sometimes the transition effect of opening drawer is a bit laggy but I'm pretty this will be a more and more fluid experience with the updates will come out in future.

Thanks and continue getting better, great job.

[Nova Launcher] L A X:
I have a issue with this launcher.

Evrything works fine but the issue lies in the background.

For some awkward reason it doesnt allow my widgets to place it at the full top, this is frustrating because it makes my UI kind of boring (because of the big space) and i can't place bigger wodgets because it tells me that there is no space at all whilst i choose a empty screen.

Can somebody help me with this.
[Nova Launcher] oswade:
I don't know if this issue has been identified, but my app icons on homescreen are slightly blurry compared to trebuchet launcher :(...

I wonder if it is to do with me using a non standard DPI (165). I have also tried 154 and 132 with the same result. I will try a standard DPI now..

Recently discovered this awesome launcher! Hope they manage to keep it updated. Pretty amazing how great this is in just so little time
[Nova Launcher] CamoGeko:
You don't know is it had been identified because you didn't search the thread I assume.

Answer is yes, if you change DPI you might get blurry icons. Top fix this you have top replace the blurry icons you have on your homescreens.

yep and if you a backup and restore it, it'll make the icons sharp again. much easier than replacing manually.
