I'd love an option to make all of the icon names in the app drawer, transparent or disabled, at once.
[Nova Launcher] ziggy34:
Is any one else having a problem with there wall paper.

I have a Nexus 10. I am using a smart cover. When I close the cover the tablet goes to sleep. When I open the cover the wall paper looks like it does in the attached screenshot. If I press the power button to turn off screen and then press the power button again to turn on the screen the wallpaper is fine. Only happens when the smart cover puts the tablet to sleep.
[Nova Launcher] sttovo:
I have a Nexus 10, a smart cover, and use the latest Nova. I tested as you described and I don't have this problem. The wallpaper stays where it should. Sorry man. I remember having this problem with an older ROM I was on, but don't remember which one. I'm on mrRobinsons AOKP PUB with no issues at all.
[Nova Launcher] De4dSpace:
Desktop Shadow Intensity

Please consider adding an option to increase the desktop shadow Intensity. It would look better if it faded from 100% black to transparent.
[Nova Launcher] Nucleotide:
Loving the latest update.

Being able to create a folder in the drawer and then drag it onto the desktop is very cool. The fact that both these folders stay in sync is even better.

Awesome work. Loving it. Thank you! :)
[Nova Launcher] BioVolt:
Thanks for the update, awesome work, keep it up :)
[Nova Launcher] frenccw:
Hi kevin, I think it's unfair that you have marked this highest voted feature as COMPLETED. While 2.1 have certainly improved folder handling, it doesn't have imo the most important feature mentioned; interchangeable folders and tabs.

[MENTION=2587550]kevin@TeslaCoil[/MENTION]

I've found a bug that it seems it was introduced with the new betas, the default desktop stays the same even when you change it to any other available desktop. If you restart nova launcher then it changes to the one set. Using nova prime v2.1 and temasek cm10.1 with custom kernel (galaxy s3).
[Nova Launcher] kersh:
I don't want to be a grinch or something but right now after seeing the 2.1 available to download from inside the nova launcher, I was thinking that you maybe should consider do this again in the future as google could pull out your app for updating it outside the play store as they include a new license point saying this few time ago when facebook started to do the same. Some competitor could want to alert of this in a bad faith movement to pull you out of the store.

Maybe you already know and this doesn't apply to you , but maybe not, better safe than sorry :P
[Nova Launcher] DrUnKenSTeiN:
I just installed the new update. Everything is great apart from the wallpaper picker.I have no option to select a live wallpaper. Now i have to go to the phones setting to do so. Its a bug on my device or we can't select live wallpapers directly from nova?

Got the prime version from the market on a Motorola razr stock Ics 4.0.4.
[Nova Launcher] thephantom:
Swipe to the left so you can choose from the live wallpaper
[Nova Launcher] adrianmak:
The creation of app folders in app drawer is not intuitive.

Is it much more user friendly to create folder in app drawer directly.
[Nova Launcher] DrUnKenSTeiN:
I did and here's what i get. Unless i'm blind i can't see a live wallpaper option.

Tried to reboot but it's the same.
[Nova Launcher] oddspec:
Here works for me
[Nova Launcher] BioVolt:
Working fine here, no problem.
[Nova Launcher] ctl8:
Is it possible to change the color of the battery from green to something else?
[Nova Launcher] oddspec:
What in the status bar ? Nova doesn't control ur status bar other then being able to hide it
[Nova Launcher] mahir1995:
I'm using Sony xperia sola. I'm not getting the stock click widget on this launcher
[Nova Launcher] oddspec:
Stock widget don't work on 3rd party launcher cuz they need proprietary code built into the stock ROM and launcher
[Nova Launcher] Edwrib:
In the 2.1 ver

Drawer categories reorder,

Change app drawer/hide app,

are working?

Not here in stock 4.2.2.

They reset to previous config after reboot/redraw.
[Nova Launcher] pietrucci:
Change icon doesn't work

Hi, I love the Nova lancher.

In this new version I can't change icons anymore. In drawer or on desktop I choose Edit in the upper right, choose new icon image, crop image and then OK. Then I get a message "Preparing image..." and then the program freezes. I can go back to Home but no icon change.

Problem is in newest version 2.1 and in 2.1 beta, previous versions no problem.

I'm on a Sony Xperia Z with modded 4.2.1 ROM.

Anyone with the same experience?
[Nova Launcher] sdeft:
Just to report that my Live Wallpaper option also vanished!. Possible bug Kevin ?
[Nova Launcher] Edwrib:
Same here.

2.1 have broke lots of things, I think this should be tested in beta before gone live in store.
[Nova Launcher] BobbaLouie:
Haven't seen this mentioned yet

For those of us who have no volume buttons (tablets mainly I would guess) I stumbled onto a way to get the labs added to the settings. In my previous post a page or so back I reported a bug where when it rotates Nova settings to portrait mode and I was stuck on the info page and had no access to the actual settings. I tried tapping the Nova icon in the upper left a bunch of times (hoping it would "backup" to some settings).

It didn't, but it did enable the labs :p

Thanks dev, editing the config file manually every new ROM was getting irritating!
[Nova Launcher] Xerovius:
Been a while since I checked on this app. How is Dev to User interaction nowadays?
[Nova Launcher] D.vink:
Yep i also have the icon changing problem on xperia z

[Nova Launcher] kamilloo83:
Is it possible to return to the previous version of the appearance of the folder and the list of applications - the appearance of the folders in the app drawer?

NEW:

OLD:
[Nova Launcher] niteh@wk:
The new folder automatically readjusts the location and spacing. Looks like there are more apps in your folder to show all on the screen, so it now scrolls. Not sure what is wrong with the bottom spacing as you indicated.

[Nova Launcher] MatMaul:
Hi,

I have a high delay when hitting home from an other app to go back to nova. I didn't have the delay with v2.0, it appears around v2.0.1 or v2.0.2. It looks a little better with 2.1 but it can be placebo, I don't have an older version (except 2.0) to test.

Regards
[Nova Launcher] decmk:
Great update. I'm using free version from play store and considering to buy.

Is vertical scrolling in pages for drawer available for prime, or old vertical 3d scrolling like old gingerbread launchers.

Thanks
[Nova Launcher] Dhiraj:
Happy with the latest update.
[Nova Launcher] recDNA:
I'm using the version from the play store a few weeks ago. It has semitransparent dock and notification bars (light grey). When you folks speek of transparency in dock and notification bar do you mean the new version offers 100% transparency? That would be my preference if available. Is there an option to change the color of the home, back, and recent apps symbols? Thanks!
[Nova Launcher] PolishPrince:
Vertical scrolling is available. It's not like the old Gingerbread one. Just a fast scroll. It's very efficient.
[Nova Launcher] Factor_psi:
The same problem

I have the same problem on Samsung Galaxy S4 i9500 (Nova Launcher Prime, stock firmware - XXUAMC6).

Any correlation with full HD screen?
[Nova Launcher] Goodm7sn:
With the recent update, I can't seem to add any website or a bookmark to the home screen on nova prime(tried with stock Note 2 browser and Opera) .

they're all being added added to TW (which isn't the default launcher). It used to work perfectly fine before.

Thank you for taking this feedback into consideration, and thx for the great efforts though. My favorite launcher by far.
[Nova Launcher] recDNA:
Well I installed the update but don't see any option for 100% transparency in notification bar nor bottom bar with home back and recent apps icons.
[Nova Launcher] Sp1tfire:
Transparent notification bar is only for supported ROMs or phones that have transparent notification bar on stock roms, for example Galaxy S4.
[Nova Launcher] recDNA:
Thanks, mine razr maxx hd stock is "called" transparent but is only partially transparent. It seem developers and manufacturers alike abhor the truely 100 transparent bars.
[Nova Launcher] The Root:
Anyone having issues with changing dock icons?
[Nova Launcher] niteh@wk:
No problems here. In the screenshot I purposely changed the phone app icon to stock JellyBean instead of the glasd theme icon.

S-beamed from my GSIII via xda premium
[Nova Launcher] Sp1tfire:
Not having problems with changing icons, but I sure miss the option of picking default icon from the theme set. Now I have to look for a certain icon and some themes have thousands of icons. It's a pain.
[Nova Launcher] Factor_psi:
cannot change icons

You are third person who is complaining about this bug.
[Nova Launcher] niteh@wk:
There's a default icon in the built-in theme.

S-beamed from my GSIII via xda premium
[Nova Launcher] Sp1tfire:
I know, but it was working on all themes in the previous versions. Now it only works in default theme, which I never use :o

P. S. Looks like that button is working for all themes. Thought it only applies for default theme. Thanks for the heads up.
[Nova Launcher] killchain:
You know what would be cool?

DPI control for Nova.

I used to run ParanoidAndroid for the per-app control, I now run AOKP with Xposed and AppSettings, which let you do similar thing. So on my Galaxy Nexus dropping to around 250 DPI (from the native 320) lets me have more space and better readability for text-based widgets from apps like Google Calendar, Google Keep, Any.DO and so on.

I don't know if an app can control what DPI it perceives, but if it can, it would be awesome to have this.
[Nova Launcher] niteh@wk:
yeah, not very intuitive. you have to switch the icon theme to use the default icon for that theme.

S-beamed from my GSIII via xda premium
[Nova Launcher] Sp1tfire:
Takes time to accomodate with all the new layout and settings. Kevin came up with really drastic changes.
[Nova Launcher] The Root:
Anyone know if cm on sgs4 should have transparent status bar? I mean it's made by Kondik himself.
[Nova Launcher] PolishPrince:
I had one dock icon disappear since the recent update.
[Nova Launcher] Chuck_IV:
So here is something wierd with Nova launcher...

I use the S-Bookmark widget on one of my screens. I drop it on my screen and it is a 2x2 grid, so I resize it to fit the width of my screen. With Nova launcher, what happens when I resize it, the icons within the widget grow in size and the grid ends up remaining only 2 columns across.

Now, with Apex launcher, when I do the exact same thing, the icons in the widget stay the same size as they were and the resulting resize gives me THREE columns across not two(which is what I would expect).

Not sure why Nova reacts this way.

FYI, it was like this prior to the most recent update.
[Nova Launcher] Jay Rock:
Is there any way to have an unread count on the icons like I get with the stock touchwiz launcher?
[Nova Launcher] Starymari:
Is an app that goes with Nova Prime called Tesla Unread, you can find it on the Play Store
[Nova Launcher] Jay Rock:
Ah for Nova Launcher Prime though. Thanks.
[Nova Launcher] unandroidemas:
I'm having the same problem. I can't change icons.
[Nova Launcher] NexusNut:
So, apparently I didn't look into the settings far enough to find that you can change the icon of an app once you have added it to Notification Toggle.

Sorry for not looking deep enough before I posted.

You can find the current App Drawer Icon here:

My opinion , should add function "icon shadow" to get more option for user, althought will reduce a litte smooth, but will be good choice for people who have a new phone with strong hardware

livewallpaper issue wasn't resolved for me with the latest beta.

am on 4.1.2

what more info do i have to summit?
[Nova Launcher] HaPe1968:
even with the newest beta the option to set the default desktop is broken. Nova seems to ignore in the moment the green hook and always selects the middle screen.
[Nova Launcher] Goodm7sn:
Same here, neither does adding websites using "add to home screen".

error with newest beta version:

-you have an app in an folder in the drawer

- uninstall this app by dragging the icon to the top left corner to "deinstall"

- the app is still shown in the drawer folder

- restart Nova

- the app is still shown, but now with an green android figure

- you have to remove this android figure by dragging it to top left corner again

Dock icons with names? When will we have this feauture?
[Nova Launcher] TadeoNYC:
I'm having trouble updating my OUYA to the latest beta :'(

Honestly though, thank you for actually making this thing workable. The stock launcher is horrible and buries everything in separate areas.

I have a favor to ask. I purchased nova prime from Google, could you hook me up with a code for the OUYA? I can download the updates manually and let you know how it is working and promise not to ***** and moan about how my controller is not natively supported !
[Nova Launcher] noobhero:
OT

u are one lucky backer!!

i got no news lol...
[Nova Launcher] TadeoNYC:
I just want the resizable icons more than anything else. I'll try and post better photo in the daylight.
[Nova Launcher] hawkwind212:
I downloaded the beta apk file, question is which directory do I put it in?
[Nova Launcher] HaPe1968:
you have to execute it. Just start it from your download directory.
[Nova Launcher] mario_21:
The same for me. The only difference is that in my case Nova goes always to first screen. It doesn't matter which screen I have set up as default.

errors in settings groop apps

I really like NovaLauncher, but with the latest update produces errors:

1) In configuring application pools when trying to rename a standard group of applications I get an error. See screenshot 2 & 1

2) not correctly display text in Russian translation. See screenshot 3

Can this be fixed?
[Nova Launcher] rush25:
Still present in 2.1.Please fix this OP
[Nova Launcher] hawkwind212:
Okay, forgot to set the Security option for installing from unknown source. It r an like a charm, now live wallpapers problem is gone.

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 AM ----------

What do you mean by the page indicated? Are you talking about that little green dash at the bottom of drawer screen, moves each time a you flip the page? If that's what you're talking about, turn on the scroll indicator option in the dock menu, and you'll probably see the page indicator you're talking about. Hope this help.
[Nova Launcher] decmk:
Page indicator in "drawer" when you have less then 4 page's is missing.
[Nova Launcher] rush25:
That option is already on.i was saying that when I enable isolated tabs in drawer I can see page indicators in widgets section but not in apps section :)
[Nova Launcher] unandroidemas:
Actually in my I9500 everything it's working fine. :good:

Nova Prime 2.1.1beta1
[Nova Launcher] ylexot:
I don't understand. If you purchased Nova Prime from Google, you just download Prime from the market. That will work with the betas, etc. What code are you asking for? :confused:
[Nova Launcher] Fabipro:
Hey Guys,

Does anyone of you have an idea how to set the back button as an activity in nova launcher in the quick shortcuts?

Look at the screenshot and you will know what I mean. I want to set the navigation bar buttons (back, home, recent apps) as shortcuts. I found home and recent apps in nova activities but not "back". Maybe one of you has an idea?

Thx :)

[Nova Launcher] polobunny:
He probably wants a private beta code but his autocorrect is changing BETA to OUYA for some reason.
[Nova Launcher] TadeoNYC:
OUYA is not part of the Google ecosystem. Nova had to be side loaded. Tesla sells Prime directly at the website. The only feature I desperately need is resizable icons, the others aren't even very useful on a game console. It isn't really worth the four dollars to buy a second license for a single feature.
[Nova Launcher] Naddict:
Fingers crossed that we can get ability to change/assign text color for icons/groups etc.
[Nova Launcher] polobunny:
Oh, OUYA is a game system...
[Nova Launcher] ylexot:
Ah, I see. I thought OUYA had access to the Google market. I guess I won't be ordering one then.
[Nova Launcher] sdeft:
Kevin another issue for you. When an app is in a folder and you remove the

app from /system/app (rooted phone) via Root Explorer then a green android icon is shown in place of the original app icon inside the folder.

That would be ok if Nova was letting you remove that icon...but it doesn't.

Only way to solve this is by removing the folder completely and re-create it.
[Nova Launcher] polobunny:
Usually when I did that a simple reboot fixed it.
[Nova Launcher] sdeft:
not in my case!

[Nova Launcher] stick1300:
I know this is a strange thing to want, but I really wish there was a way to be able to swipe out of a drawer tab, but you couldn't swipe into it. I have a Games tab and a Tools tab that are each one page, whereas my main Apps tab is two pages. I don't want to join them, because the majority of my time is spent moving between the two App pages, but I think it would be cool to be able to swipe out others. I'm sure I'm one of the few people that would even have a use for this, but I'm just thinking out loud. (I guess I could accomplish something similar with folders)

EDIT: went ahead and setup two folders in the main tab. Actually think I prefer it, especially since I can set custom icons now. Man, I LOVE Nova
[Nova Launcher] OSully:
Kevin -

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS.

It fixed all of my gripes with the stock launcher. Couldn't be happier. Let me know if I can donate.
[Nova Launcher] vapotrini:
+1! Totally agreed. At 6 you can't get any icon dead center. 7 would sort this all out.

This app would be absolutely perfect for me with 7 icons in the dock as well as having the ability to hide the task bar.
[Nova Launcher] vaeevictiss:
Im guessing i did something wrong, i installed thru system but i am still unable to move widgets to the dock.

EDIT: NM i read drawer as dock lol...but i have always wanted a way to put a couple narrow widgets i have in the dock lol.

EDIT 2: actually, now that im in the settings "widgets in drawer" is still grayed out for me.
[Nova Launcher] aron7awol:
Swipe down gesture to pull down notifications seems like a necessary feature on the enormous Galaxy Nexus screen. I cannot reach the notifications bar when using the phone one-handed. I'm surprised Google didn't add this to the stock launcher.
[Nova Launcher] technogravy:
This happens with me, I keep loosing the Plume widget on restarts. Besides that it works pretty smooth.
[Nova Launcher] OSully:
One minor bug I found, when you're in the app drawer, if you hit back, you go back to the homescreen fine, but if you push "home", the dock bar appears quickly and the rest of the homescreen fades back in like it should.
[Nova Launcher] oliver7:
Awesome! I'd like to have gesture features to open status bar by moving the finger from up to down, for example. And maybe language-support (German) :-)

[Nova Launcher] Redflea:
Oh my goodness...I love you! :)

Running this on my new rooted Nexus, installed as System app.

I have been missing my 5x5 rows/columns, multiple docks, and wanting that damn Google Search bar removed from every home screen, while keeping the other ICS launcher features. Thanks so much for putting this together...after almost forever I think I'm ready to leave Launcher Pro behind. :)
[Nova Launcher] Truballa11:
When I try to install the apk it says problem parsing application. I flash through recovery and nothing happens. I put it in the system/app drawer and still get nothing. can someone explain to me what I am doing wrong. GS2 rooted by the way.

You have to be running 4.0.
[Nova Launcher] OSully:
Would also love to have dock backgrounds and looping docks.
[Nova Launcher] jamontoast1291:
If this has the ability to hide icons from the app drawer I am definitely interested. I'll have to give the app a try. Looks good though, I'm definitely going to follow this thread.
[Nova Launcher] Redflea:
Don't know if this is a general issue w/third party shortcut icons, but Folder Organizer shortcut icons on the home screen show as black boxes...if you tap on them the icon shows as long as you are pressing on it, but goes back to a black box as soon as you release.

Love this launcher...
[Nova Launcher] joeshmoe08:
Truly amazing launcher. Great work and I look forward to the paid version! Here is my feedback -

Bugs:

1) I can't reciprocate it so it might be usefull but once the app drawer button disappeared.

2) People said it but - home button in app drawer gets the animation stuck

3) moving wallpaper (not Live wallpaper but moving wallpaper as you move across screens) jumps around sometimes when clicks home button to go to homescreen.

Additions:

1) when clicking on widgets tab from app drawer you should look into making it display the widgets like in original ics launcher, but keep vertical list when selecting widgets from long click of homescreen.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
If I'm understanding your request properly, then, you can already have that functionality if you install the launcher as a system app. :)
[Nova Launcher] dpaine88:
Has anyone had a black screen when hitting the app drawer button? Takes about 3-5 times of re-opening the app drawer for it to show apps
