Anybody have this issue where the app icon isn't being displayed in the drawer when it has been un-installed & then installed again immediately? I have to restart Nova for the app icon to appear again.

[Nova Launcher] jgodfrey01:
Just installed 2.0 beta 1 and still see this issue (I know, it wasn't mentioned as being fixed). Anyway, a little more info...

(My device is a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0).

I almost always interact with Nova in landscape mode, which is where I see the broken animation. However, I just experimented with portrait mode and the dock animation is 100% solid. So, this seems to be a landscape-only issue.

On a l related note, in portrait mode, the blue "dock page indicator" is rendered neatly on top of the divider between the dock area and the desktop. However, when I rotate to landscape mode (with the dock oriented vertically on the right edge), the dock page indicator is no longer drawn in the (now vertical) divider area. Instead, it's drawn along the bottom (long) edge of the screen, though it seems to be scaled to a length that would fit the short edge.

Thanks,

Jeff

I don't see why it couldn't - it's a setting like any other setting, isn't it? Could be stored in permanent memory like the other settings.

Why is this app not compatible with GB, will it ever be compatible, and is there a way to make it compatible? Thanks
[Nova Launcher] jacklebott:
Because it's built off of a JB app, no, and no
[Nova Launcher] cmoG530:
There's Holo Launcher I believe.

[Nova Launcher] PenguinxEnjoi:
How was it built from a JB app if it was made before JB came out?
[Nova Launcher] jacklebott:
It was originally built from the stock ICS launcher, then built from the JB launcher
[Nova Launcher] enigma1981:
Because it was originally built from the sources of the ICS launcher, then updated to the sources of the JB version

[Nova Launcher] PenguinxEnjoi:
Port?

I see.. But is there any way I can port it with eclipse or something, not for redistribution of course?
[Nova Launcher] jacklebott:
Yes, it's faster on ICS/JB because that's the OS it's supposed to be built for. When Holo Launcher was ported to GB, speed suffered terribly. Nova's dev doesn't want to deal with all that, so he's keeping it on its proper OS version
[Nova Launcher] 089man:
Yesterday I had test your nova launcher. It's great and I was so happy that I have buy the full version.

I had at this time only the go launcher. About 1 year ore more now i had uninstall. Thx for your great launcher, but i had 2 or 3 wishes. Point one was verry urgent for me. I have many apps and not found well.

1. It's was verry well if you can ad a sort feature in the drawer. Sort alphabetical is at this time the only standard. Can you ad sort for last installed apps?

Also an update or news flag to the icons from new added apps? Now I must scroll and search for the new apps before I found and can add to desktop.

2. I had backup all settings, if I restore a backup than all widget gray and must manual restored. Not for all works the automatic, must all settings manually again in any widget.

3. The backups can not delete in nova, i must go with explorer and delete any.

Also were fine if you can add for costume Pfad for backups.

That's all, smile. For me the most important feature what I miss from go launcher is the sort feature in drawer, my point 1.

Can you ad my wish?

Thx and good day

[Nova Launcher] flava69:
I know we got icon resize, but is there any way you can put it in home screen, app drawer, dock settings, so we can change all to the size we want?
[Nova Launcher] itpromike:
So I have Nova Launcher and I've been isntalling icon packs like crazy however I'm realizing that many 'icon packs' just download a zip and don't show up in the Nova Launcher 'icon pack' section. Sure I could unzip them, and then use the browse files functionality instead of the icon pack view in Nova Launcher, but that's a pain and not as streamlined as it would be if the zip were recognized as a true icon pack. So my question is how would one go about 'installing' an icon pack that was just recognized as a zip file by the system. Where does nova launcher store it's icon packs? Any ideas? Hopefully I'v explained this correctly lol.
[Nova Launcher] reinbeau:
The icon creator has to make that happen, not Nova Launcher. Most people put out zips of icons that you have to manually add. Some put them together as an installable theme. Up to you to find the installable ones :)
[Nova Launcher] itpromike:
Thanks for the reply. :) Is it possible to 'manually' add these zips so they show up in the 'icon package' section of Nova? If not, is it possible to create an installer myself for these?

Nova Launcher 2.0 on Nook HD+

I have a quick question. I had Nova Launcher 1.3.3 installed on my Nook HD+ and it allowed me to setup a desktop icon to switch back over to the Nook Home when needed by using Shortcuts via Nova. Now that I switched to Nova Launcher 2.0 I have not found the same way to setup this up through Shortcuts. All of the other Nook options (i.e. Libraries, Shop) are still available. Am I missing something or is Nova Launcher 2.0?
[Nova Launcher] reinbeau:
Here's a tutorial that I've been meaning to study and follow myself. That's about the best I can do :)
[Nova Launcher] whipping:
Great launcher Kevin, congrats!

Bought Widgetlocker some months ago and still pleased with it :)

Some suggestions to the launcher:

There should be a way to organize the icons in the app drawer:

- by creating folders and putting the icons inside it

- or to have the possibility to have categories in the pages of the app drawer and to be able to move the icons to that page.

Example:

page 1 - games

page 2 - multimedia

etc
[Nova Launcher] talhamid:
@Kevin: Fair enough, though I am not looking for money; simply want to be part of a wonderful Android app. Perhaps I can email you the icon I come up with?
[Nova Launcher] Bloodflame:
Very very nice launcher! I gave it a quick test on my tablet, and although i had no serious problems (other than grid size not taking up the whole screen, which i understand at this point of development). i'm eagerly awaiting full tablet support. No rush though, i know you said you want to make it stable for phones first, but i'm gonna keep a close eye on this thread. :) thanks for all the hard work!
[Nova Launcher] OSully:
This may sound silly but the dock seems to scroll less smoothly on 7 coming from 5.

Does anyone have a link for beta 5? I deleted by backup :p
[Nova Launcher] whipping:
Yes, it sounds silly... my **** didn't scroll when updated.... lol
[Nova Launcher] OSully:
hahahaha autocorrect FTW!

Fixed :)

I restored beta 5 from a backup. It looks like Kevin added a fade effect when scrolling docks, that's probably why it seems to have lost some smoothness.
[Nova Launcher] Mooem7:
Great work on the launcher!

I agree. Dock scrolling doesn't seem as smooth as I remember. Unfortunately, I didn't save the beta5 apk so I can't compare.

Edit: Actually just found the beta 5 apk and installed it after removing beta 7. The dock is definitely smoother on 5.

[Nova Launcher] hjort1:
Seems that the New/Downloaded filter in the appdrawer is broken in beta 7. I can't see any apps there. Restored to beta5 and it's ok again. Love to see a "hide apps" filter in the appdrawer, but for now I use the Downloaded filter and just convert the apps I want to hide to system-apps (and the other way around) with TB.

Great work btw.

[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I'm sure you could do it with Eclipse, but you'd have to get the go-ahead from Kevin first. Back-porting may be pretty difficult and time consuming though... It may be much easier for you to study the code from Nova, Apex, and Holo, and build a launcher from scratch... idk. It's a worthwhile venture though, and could be a good learning experience. :)

I can't tell you if it's prime only, because I bought it long time ago, but it you tap on you drawer taps like 'apps' another menu will appear. You can sort it to show the downloaded, all, my apps and to configure it.

Nope, the app tab has an extra menu. You can click on your app tab in drawer. If it is not there it's probably a prime feature.

Not the general overflow.

O my god, yes nice. Thanks so much for this tip. Never I would click to this, I always search in regular settings.

Great, this is ok for me if I installed new apps. A generally sort were better, but this is ok for me.

I like this launcher to, never before I had changed my go launcher. But since one week I uninstall them.

hi there

short question; in the prime version of the launcher you are able to make tabs in app drawer, and i do that.. when you create a new one, you can tick one option, that the apps which are linked to the new tab are hidden in the main tab. but it didnt work for me, and i dont know why.. is there somebody who have a idea what to do? i have a s3 lte with germany unbranded rom and rooted..

many thanks!

shame on meeee!! sorry for that, i played little bit arround and i didnt read the text near to this option to hide the apps in main tab, the option is not called hide, so you have to untick it otherwise, the apps stays in the main tab..

To create a folder in the drawer use the nova settings.

[Nova Launcher] scottjb:
Thanks for the update. Not sure if the fix was to remember the drawer position, forget it or both. The positron is still remembered on my Razr M, 4.1.1 with the vertical continuous drawer, even though I don't have that box checked.
[Nova Launcher] el_smurfo:
Remember position selection cleared is a bit better now (using List Mode), in that it resets after launching an app or putting the phone to sleep, but it still remembers the position if you open the drawer, go back home, then open the drawer again. Since the description states "...or pressing the Home button", I assume this is still a bug.
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
I fear there are a lot of people talking about different things with regard to remember position. It's kind of awkward setting as it's hard to explain.

Normally, Nova Launcher will reset to the top of the first page when you return to Nova by using the Home button, or you turn your screen off. This is how the stock Android launcher behaves and is designed so you generally don't notice the behavior. If you're browsing apps and using the back button you don't feel your place is lost. But if you turn the screen off, or are using the home button, you kind of forgot your place anyway and expect to have a consistent behavior when returning to the app drawer.

With the Remember Position setting Nova will not reset in those situations.

There was a bug where if you were already on the first page, but not scrolled to the top, it might not reset. I believe to have fixed that in 2.0.1beta2.

If you notice a behavior that is inconsistent to what is described above, please let me know the exact steps to reproduce it.
[Nova Launcher] oae08:
Can we have New features now :p
[Nova Launcher] tbessie:
Kevin...

Yes, that's the functionality I'm talking about when I mention drawer position - the drawer tab that I last selected.

I tend to prefer the last selected drawer tab to remain selected and never be reset to the first tab, even between putting the phone in standby, even when hitting the home button, even between phone reboots.

All seem to work with this setting you've added except that last case - is it difficult to make Nova maintain last selected drawer tab between reboots, or is it more that you didn't think it's a feature anyone would want?

Personally, I want it never to be reset, ever, and would love it to work that way.

Anyone else here think that would be as confusing as Kevin states?

- Tim
