One bug and one question.

Bug: When showing previews and creating a new homescreen, I try to move the new homescreen and Nove FC

Question: Where did the Notification bar transparency option go?! That was NEAT! :D

First. Amaxing update. Small small issue. I am having Widget Freezing issues with beta 6. I have checked the setting in labs and checked the aggressive memory setting and have even made the app a system app. Freezing still happens, not regularly but at least once a day.

I am running Xylon ROM and Franco Kernel n14 on a Nexus 4.

2.0beta7 Dec 22, 2012

Fix drawer autoclose with rotate

Fix color theme for drawer list and dialogs

Fix FCs

Misc fixes and optimizations

Updated Translations

Settings > Check for updates > Menu > Beta or Download the Beta APK

Older Versions:

Previous Beta APK: 2.0beta6 Dec 21, 2012

Latest Stable APK: 1.3.4 Dec 9, 2012

The icon size change on ~7" tablets that are not tvdpi (meaning ~7" but not the (stock) Nexus 7) is intentional, it was inconsistent before between devices. The icon scale prefers scaling down from a higher density bucket (to keep higher quality), unless the desired size is very close to a lower bucket. For example if you're on a stock Nexus S and set the icon scale to 105% it will scale up hdpi icons. But if you go to 110% it will start scaling down xhdpi icons to maintain quality. It's possible the cutoff for using the higher bucket will be further tuned. The default size of icons on 7" non-Nexus 7s is not likely to change again.

Custom dpis are kind of a wild card.

I don't know what the recent apps flashing that was mentioned is referring to, try rebooting.

[Nova Launcher] 19-2000:
Kevin pls help. There is an issue that it is present from beta 3 to beta 7:

I have 4 folders in the dock. Before betas, (on 1.3.4 stable) i used a custom icon for these folder. From when i installed beta 3, what happens is that what ever I do, sooner or later, folders get back the custom icon that had before.

Ex: I change icon: if i do what ever of these things, it does not keep in memory my changes: install or remove app from play store; restart launcher, reboot devices, change theme, change icon sizes, clear launcher image cache, change grid size, add/remove home screens.

I did a full wipe thinking of a flawed rom installation (4.1.2 stock rooted on gt-n7100, but it is the same thing on other devices that I have).

Here are two s-shot of what i mean

1) old folder in dock icons:

2) changed icons/default folder icon

Pls pls pls help

Thank you very much

I'm not sure I follow and can't seem to reproduce. Can you make a backup and email it to me (kevin@teslacoilsw.com)? Please include a brief description of the problem as I get lots of emails and won't know what the backup is for otherwise.

I don't think there is anything specific to Nova Launcher or the betas with this. It might be an mClock issue or might be an Android issue. If it's an Android issue it might help to either uninstall other launchers or clear data on and them and launcher them once. Another option is Nova Settings > Long-press volume down for Labs > Restart widgets on resume

At the point the popup is displayed, Nova has barely any information about the widgets as just trying to start getting data is crashing. I'd love to have a way to show the user how much memory widgets are using and how frequently they are updating but even if I'm able to do that in the future the malfunctioning widget popup screen would only be able to show historical data at best. In your case if you still have all those Minimalistic Text widgets then I think the problem is just the sheer number of them, especially if they are configured to send bitmaps.

Thanks for the report, I think it's all set in beta8 though you may need to edit the old icons once from the new beta.

Make sure Nova is set as the default (Settings > Select default home > Nova Launcher) and reboot.

Uninstall any unofficial version of Nova Launcher and install only the official version. If your rom has modified Nova Launcher then please ask them for support, I cannot support modified versions of Nova Launcher.

Happy holidays everyone.
[Nova Launcher] Ridho1:
Just notice when entering appdrawer, the wallpaper is disappeared first before the icons fly in. Is it a bug or it is new "feature" of Nova Launcher 2+?

Just try it with relaxed animation setting and I believe you will notice it.
[Nova Launcher] el_smurfo:
Doesn't happen with normal animations
[Nova Launcher] wilcomir:
I was afraid there was no way to tell which widget is causing problems. However I changed a bit my configuration, now there are way less widgets. And I've learned what "sheer number" means!

Happy holidays to you too.
[Nova Launcher] Ridho1:
:confused: I said, you will notice it if you set the animation "relaxed".

And if it still noticeable, try to add app drawer background transparency very, very bit (so it is still black). :D

Edit :

Am I the only one who experiences this bug : If I set the drawer transparency to null (default setting) > Open app drawer > open any applications > and exit it by press back button, the animation is wrong, the animation is like the animation if you open a new message from notification drawer.

And, If I add a very bit transparency, the animation is right (normal exit-application-animation of JB).

I am using JB 4.2.1.

[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Transparent navbars in custom roms cause trouble for an opaque app drawer. Either the wallpaper is turned off early in which case you may see a black background during the animation or the wallpaper is turned off later in which case the navbar remains transparent during the animation. Neither is optimal but the black background during the animation is generally less noticeable. Additionally the wallpaper visibility flag hints to the system how activity transition animations should be handled. Just before switching activities the launcher tries to reenable the wallpaper, fixing the returning transition animation, but with the navbar mod this means you see a flicker of the wallpaper in the navbar.

For the best experience I recommend either disabling the navbar transparency (and restart Nova to be sure it detects the change) or keeping a transparent drawer.

For what it's worth, Motorola's JB has a slightly superior implementation in that the navbar transparency can be toggled by an app independent of the wallpaper.
[Nova Launcher] Ridho1:
I have disabled the navbar transparency, but no luck. It still shows wrong transition. By adding app drawer transparency can help, but the rotation in app drawer is soo lags. And also lags when you exit app drawer in landscape mode.

Sorry for too details, but I love Nova a lot than other launchers for its smoothness although it has less feature compared with others.

Holo Launcher is what you want. I use it on Gingerbread and it's just about as good as Nova. The Android 4 crowd would have you believe you need the latest device to get software features. Well, that helps sell devices off contact to the lucky few who can afford it, but it has little basis in fact. I use both Gingerbread and Jelly Bean, and while I love my Nova Prime, I don't miss it on Gingerbread. Holo Launcher is that good.

Small bug to report:

When changing icon themes (full package in settings, not individually through the home screen), alot of the icons within a folder do not change. Some do, some don't. Have to manually change, or remove the apps from the folder and re-add from the app drawer.

Applying theme twice, rebooting, reverting to default/changing again, all do not work. Pretty frustrating. This bug is happening on the play store release and the beta versions.
