[Nova Launcher] ayoubij:
Im having a small problem with the folders in the new v3.0 release from playstore. It seems that folders are compressed more (the icons closer to each other). Am i able to make the gaps wider?

Also another problem in folders is when you have an app inside the folder that has a notification, the notification counter badge used to come outside the folder at the same place where a normal app icon would have it. Now after the update, the badge comes more centered inside the folder icon which is hard to see. How can i fix this?

Hope somone can help me. Thank you very much..
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
It means that you can now have widgets that truly extend from one side of the screen to the other, with no gaps. ☺

Does the OK Google detection have much impact on battery on a nexus 4 ?

Also, how does it behave for you when the screen is off? For me I hear the audible prompt but the screen remains off, and if I ask a question like what's the weather, it doesn't tell me anything. With the screen on it works fine.

Hi All

I'm loving the new update to Nova Launcher especially the widget padding!!

but one thing I'm missing is the ability to only show new apps installed.

on v2.3 when pressing the Apps tab, you have an option of only showing newly installed apps now this has been replaced with 'Show Hidden Apps'.

Is there any way of only showing the newly installed apps like the previous version or has this feature been removed??
[Nova Launcher] hamsup1o:
Anyone experienced icons getting unthemed after a reboot? I have one particular icon that refuses to stick with the theme. I have the same app on another device and it sticks so I think it has something to do with Nova. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

OK Google without lockscreen

Not sure whether this is a bug or something else. But without setting up a lockscreen, the "ok google" command seems to be activating the google search even when the screen is locked. Could hear the google search tone but the screen would not turn on. Anyone else?
[Nova Launcher] sordna:
I'm getting the same issue. I really think that Nova should turn off hotword detection when the screen is off (to avoid any wake lock or battery drain).

No this isn't it as when i newly install apps i can view quickly the apps i install (i test a lot of apps) and then this list disappears.

Beta 3.0.1b1 fixes the ok google problem.

3.0.1beta1 Jun 4, 2014

-Fix Ok Google wakelock issue when lockscreen is disabled

-Fix customizing title of apps with dynamic calendar icon (Today)

-Fix settings crash

-Fix Google Search settings crash when Google Search is outdated, disabled or uninstalled

-Fix FCs
[Nova Launcher] mistermojorizin:
it says it "fixes" wakelock issue. i want it to turn the screen on so i can voice search. is that what it does?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
That's a system level intent that I seriously doubt a launcher could handle, so no, the fix doesn't turn the screen on. The Nexus 5 doesn't have the same tech as the Moto X, and a launcher doesn't have the ability to create system functions where they don't exist.
[Nova Launcher] dancrow:

Any help, please?
[Nova Launcher] sordna:
I would hope not. You don't want nova to keep the CPU and mic busy and drain your battery when the screen is off.
[Nova Launcher] Netuser:
Is their any way to reset the icon themes for app that we have changed the icon manually ?

Let me explain;

I apply a new theme, i don't like some of icon for some app or there is no icon for these apps so I go manually edit and choose icons for these apps.

Now the issue is that when I apply a new theme, it keep the manually applied icons, isn't there any way to reset this ? It is quite annoying as the new theme I am applying is maybe updated and have the icons for my missing apps but Nova is forcing me to keep the manually selected icons and there is no option in settings to overide this. Or maybe I didn't found it. How to fix this ?

Thanks :)

v3.0 of Nova has made other launchers eat dust...

Nova is now so ahead of its competitors, and thanks to the dev for taking Nova towards a direction which we couldn't have even imagined in our dreams... And that too without becoming a bloatware....

This is now one of the best apps and the first app to be installed on phone...

Minimalism at its best and rock stable... Nova rocks...

Even just after a day of releasing v3.0, the dev is not taking breaks and working on another bugfix release....

This shows of his commitment to Nova and should be a pointer to those people who were some days back whining about no development and complaining about bucks spent on this app....

FYI, it is very hard to sustain development of an app on one time payment....

But still they work on it not for money but for their love of it....

This dev and his piece of work deserves a huge *RESPECT* PERIOD.

Ok guys. Now Whatsapp+ has been banned from the site so you will find no help with it here. I would also advise you to use the proper version as + will soon be removed from every where.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Is there any link or explanation you could provide, that would help explain why the app was banned? I don't use it myself, but many people do, and the only articles I can find, seem to have some kind of antisemitic lean to them. I can't imagine a site like xda would ban an app over something so insidious, and the outcry from users will be massive if a rationale isn't given.

I have been using Nova Launcher Premium along with an App called Nexus Wallpapers 0.2 since I got my Nexus 7 back in November 2012. After upgrading the Nova launcher to 3.0 the wallpapers from this App are shifted (pushed) down and I can not find a way to shift the wallpapers up. The wallpapers are a simple black background with a glossy black or colorful Nexus logos in the middle. I had arranged all my home pages icons around the logo, but now part of the logo is covered by the icons that used to be below the logo.. I tried using a .jpg file with a similar logo, but when I try to use it as a wallpaper it appears zoomed on the home screen. Any suggestions on how I can shift the wallpaper from the App back up a few pixels as these images can't be manipulated using QuickPic or the Gallery before I set them as wallpapers? I looked, but I could not find an updated version of the Nexus Wallpapers app either.

I would like to see a possibility to disable the AppDrawer like in some/most chinese launcher. That would be great!
[Nova Launcher] :
Well you can remove the app drawer icon from the dock and drag your icons from the app drawer to the home pages... Nova supports upto 9 home pages and I think that is more than sufficient to hold all your apps...

You may also remove the dock if needed....

The end result is the look you desire like MIUI launcher I think.....

You can also install MIUI X5 icon pack from Play Store and you are ready to rock your MIUI Nova Launcher....;)

Hope this helps...:good:

---------- Post added at 01:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------

Can you please tell your screen resolution....

The stock launcher requires the resolution of wallpaper to be 2x the width and 1x the height...

For example my resolution is qhd, i.e, 540x960....

Therefore the resolution of my wallpapers to use should be 1080x960....

Try to use your wallpaper according to this way, and see if problem persists....:good:

Home screen redraws are still present especially with widgets.
[Nova Launcher] paludi06:
What could be easier than deleting the app drawer icon from homescreen?
[Nova Launcher] khaytsus:
"Redraws" = Nova restarting because it was killed by Android. It's just that simple.

I suspect it's because Nova is using more ram than it used to.. Pretty sure it was in the 60's on my phone not long ago, now it's always 90m.
[Nova Launcher] :
That's something wrong with your ROM.... Nova never consumes so much of RAM, that's why it's fast...

For me it eats between 14-20mb ram, 20mb max...

Moto E running stock 4.4.2 rooted....
[Nova Launcher] khaytsus:
No, it's configuration. I have a lot of folders and widgets on the screens.

And Nova is using more ram compared to the previous version, as I implied in my post.

Lastly, ROM's don't make apps use more ram, especially when the ROM hasn't changed.
[Nova Launcher] mrdoug:
For me, it is very confusing. According to the Android Apps management, it is 43mb. However, according to Elixir, it is 92mb. I have 2gb ram, so either way, no problem. Still, it is very confusing when two separate apps show two vastly different numbers.

If you will be using widgets or icon packs, Nova will suck more RAM...

This happens to me after every Nova update, I usually have to reboot once then problem solved
[Nova Launcher] khaytsus:
Must be nice.. :/ It's not like I'm scraping by, but I like to minimize ram apps are using so there's less apps being killed in the background.

And I too have seen more Nova "redraws" than in the past, which I attribute to higher memory pressure due to the memory usage increasing.
[Nova Launcher] mrdoug:
FWIW, I should have prefaced my post with the fact that I'm running beta 2, not the store release.

[Nova Launcher] jacknicholson:
Nova has always eaten at least 90-100+ MB (out of my N5's 2GB), yet I've never noticed a single redraw. I've neither enabled the Aggressive Desktop option, nor forced it into memory via any other means. In other words, it's been a consistently perfect experience.

For those of you with redraws, I'd advise you look into what's kicking Nova out of memory, rather than Nova itself.

Well I've more than 1gb free ram. And I haven't changed anything apart from the update to nova. I will try to look for a pattern, but so far it happens randomly.

To come back to the redraws: it really looks like a nova problem. When you come back to the home screen from an app after pressing home the screen is fine. Once you slide to an other panel, then the redraw happens on that panel. It happens quick, but I'd imagine that differs for every device.

I create folders inside the app drawer and place app shortcuts inside them. (ex. Media, Accounts, Office, etc.)

Problem:

* On every Nova start, app shortcuts (which were placed inside folders) are duplicated in app drawer outside of folders. *

This has been a bug prior to 3.0 being released. Most, if not all, of these apps are apps whose data is moved to the SD card.

Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know of a fix or maybe if the dev is aware of this bug?
