Kevin@TeslaCoil, I bought both Nova Prime and Apex Pro and the only thing keeping me with Apex right now is the overlapping widgets thing... can this PLEASE be implemented in the next release? Please?

Thanks in advance

[edit]

Also, I'm having problems with custom icons - I'm trying to select icons for homescreen/dock shortcuts, I'm long-pressing, pressing edit, then the icon, then file, then selecting quickpic, then I get into my icons folder and select the icon and nova force closes... I've managed to change a few, but I've got to manually restart nova between icon changes to stop it crashing...

Any idea why this should be?

Great work , no problems at all on my xperia x8 :)

[Nova Launcher] dmonzel:
If you don't like it, turn it off in the settings and uninstall the app called TeslaUnread Plugin. No more notifications for your icons? See, that wasn't too hard, was it?

There are those of us who enjoy having these options, even if not everyone uses them.
[Nova Launcher] latino147:
The code [for notifications] in the launcher itself will be fairly small and will hardly use up any memory. So if you don't install the add-on it will cost you nothing.
[Nova Launcher] XlAfbk:
Google Talk unread count: It seems I have to go to Talks main screen to reset the count. This is quite annoying as most of the time my conversations are with 1 person only and clicking the notificaiton or the talk icon both bring me to that conversation (as that's where I left Talk) but then the counter won't be cleared, leaving me thinking that I got a new message while I didn't.

In Tasker I'm using a script which grabs the Talk messages from /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/Talk.db, maybe you could use that as well?
[Nova Launcher] Rimher:
Wanted to confirm that everything works correctly with chompSMS and the unread bubble is visible!

But isn't it possible to choose the placement?

I'm not sure about it being on the bottom of the icon
[Nova Launcher] dmonzel:
From what I understand, it shows how many open conversations you have, not new messages. I had to turn it off for Talk for the same reason.
[Nova Launcher] XlAfbk:
Yes it does and it's fine with me. The not resetting when viewing that conversation however is annoying. Just making suggestions on how to possibly improve it.
[Nova Launcher] dmonzel:
The only way to have the notification disappear is to close each conversation when you exit Talk.
[Nova Launcher] XlAfbk:
I *do know* how it works at the moment. But I don't think that's how it should be. Which is the whole point of my post.
[Nova Launcher] xreflection:
Bought the prime version after giving the free version a spin. This launcher is awesome.
[Nova Launcher] schnuffdroid:
awsome update! i like it very much!

i just wanted to tell, that the unread notification gets a little cut off on my galaxy s2, on my gnex it's displayed correctly...

...mobile! :-)
[Nova Launcher] lowsum:
Im fiddling with the nice widget in dock feature and I had an idea that would be cool if implemented. What about a seperate "widget drawer" located upward that would let us put widgets of any size? Similar to dock but with sizable rows.

Excellent launcher, keep up the good work!
[Nova Launcher] jenskristian:
I dont know if it has been reported, but on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 running CM9 the menu buttons on the homescreen disappears when turning off the persistent search bar.

Btw. I'll try to help finish the Norwegian translation tomorrow.
[Nova Launcher] vkennedy:
Can a config for the unread notifications be considered? I'm wondering if moving them from the lower right to the upper right would fix some of the cut-off issues.

Cheers - Vince

[Nova Launcher] XlAfbk:
had read that post before the edit...

had it (the crash) happen once to me yesterday with b3
[Nova Launcher] enigma1981:
I've got 6 dock icons, I've custom icon'd four of them, but when I go for number five, it just crashes - every single time...

Only thing I haven't tried is uninstalling and reinstalling - that'll be my next option I think
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Logcat would be helpful. Automatic crash reports lack context and I can't think of anything I saw related to custom icons.
[Nova Launcher] enigma1981:
I completely removed all trace of nova earlier, then wiped dalvik and reinstalled nova from the market... Then updated to the beta through the settings menu, then installed prime.. All seems to be working now :)

If it happens again I'll get a logcat for you ok Kev. Thanks man.

(Just need overlapping widgets now and I'm sorted lol)

I think you need to navigate to the icon you want with a file manager and NOT quickpic or the gallery.

[Nova Launcher] enigma1981:
Tried with QP and with ES File Explorer, even downloaded a new file manager (X-Plore) and tried that but it just wasn't having it!!

Sorted now though after a thorough reinstall of Nova :)

It's definitely smoother than Apex now I'm using it full-time, after I killed Apex in the background too, it's a really nice feeling launcher :)

Thank you for nova. It's badass! I would like to request the option to scale dock icons smaller or larger. Is that a possibility in the future? Thanks man!
[Nova Launcher] ProphecyAM:
Hi,

do the new unread count notifications also work for K-9 Mail?
[Nova Launcher] RED_:
This is a great launcher but can I suggest a feature; the ability to mute a phone call by flipping the phone onto it's screen? This was a Sense UI feature for HTC phones but not only did I root this phone but when not using that UI the feature is gone.

I don't mean decline the phone call, just simply turn the ring off. So even though the ringer is off I could still answer the phone call if I wanted. Would be good in a meeting, phone starts ringing, simply flip it over and let it carry on ringing for the person on the other line. If you decide you might as well take the call or step out to take it then you can turn it back over and answer the call as normal.
[Nova Launcher] enigma1981:
There's an app on the market for that, can't remember what it's called, but it is there

Can't see it being implemented into the launcher tbh as its not a launcher feature

[edit]

It's called FlipSilent

[Nova Launcher] RubenRybnik:
Has anyone requested a feature to change icons for apps( Custom Icons ) system wide? Basically would go into Nova Settings and "App Settings" or something like that. And you define each apps custom icons there, then wherever you see that app, well wherever Nova can modify how you see it, you see the custom icon. For instance in the App Drawer, on Homescreen, on Dock, App Picker dialog( not sure if Nova has access to that ) etc...

I'll request if it hasn't been made, this currently would be one of my top feature requests, almost have my theming 100% done, this would help so much.
[Nova Launcher] profetul:
Hi,

On SGS II - in System Settings - Motion - you have the option Turn over to mute - just enable it from there. It is not a launcher option, it's a system option.
[Nova Launcher] XlAfbk:
As you're running CM why not just use CMs theme engine to do this? it'll work with every launcher and you can even customize the ressources used in an app.

just look at an existing theme for how to do it.
[Nova Launcher] att1cus:
This is a great launcher, thanks!

Quit adding features to it, dangit, so I'll quit jacking with it, though.
[Nova Launcher] RubenRybnik:
Cool, have never even applied a theme with the theme engine, only flashable ones so far. I'll have to look into this, would be a fun weekend project. Any recommendations on a good basic theme to start with that'll give me a good jumping point?
[Nova Launcher] hiz99:
I can't update to the new beta cause it says same file exists with the same signature
[Nova Launcher] discostu1:
First off, this is a fantastic launcher. I love it. Only 1 request:

Make it so that you don't have to scroll a full 50% onto the left or right page to flip the page. Perhaps make it customizable. I find that when I'm doing things at my normal speed, a lot of times it doesn't flip to the next page because I've only swiped the page 40-45% of the way. Sometimes, if I'm going too fast or something, I'll swipe one way, but the launcher will actually go the other way because I didn't swipe it the full 50% of the screen.

The only other problem I have, which isn't even launcher related, is the feature request link on novalauncher.com is broken. It tries to go to feedback.novalauncher.com which is dead.

Other then that, fantastic launcher. I love the customization and locking of the search bar to the top of your screen!
[Nova Launcher] shaftenberg:
Hi guys,

on ICS 4.0.3 I encountered black screens and "no response" Messages 3-4 times a day when using Nova Launcher on a Galaxy Note, mostly after using several apps. Have you got any solution for this?

Seems, Android is killing the Launcher which is not what I want. Does moving to /system/app help?

I'm still using LauncherPro which works flawlessly, although it is not THAT smooth while scrolling.
[Nova Launcher] enigma1981:
Moving to /system/app helped reduce redraws on Apex for me, forgot to move nova before i set up icons etc do un reluctant to move it lol but it should help, yeah.

Can't understand you getting that low on ram on a Note though, must be some serious usage lol

Little bug in dock

I think I have found a little bug in dock (icons alignment). Steps to reproduce:

- screen orientation must be set to auto

- in portaint orientation go to drawer

- launch some app (game) that run only in landscape orientation (of course rotate your phone too)

- exit app and go back to desktop (stay in landscape orientation)

Dock settings:

- num docks: 4

- icons in dock: 5

Effect you can see in attachment on the left (on the right is correct alignment)

Try "Calendar Mute" for meetings. The free version is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mvs.android.apps.calendarmute.free.

This was the first app I ever paid for and I'm still using it years later. It's a must have for anyone that attends meetings.

Is it just installed? or is it installed as a system app?

If you've installed it to /system/app then you can't select that option because it's not necessary

Please, can you make it possible to have a 8x6 grid? I can't live with a 7x6 grid and I find 6x4 not enough on my Galaxy Nexus.
[Nova Launcher] GirLuvsDroid:
Thanks so much for the update. It's running great for me. Since I'm the one who asked for the backup/restore options in the launcher, I thought I'd say thank you again and report back. I wiped Nova Launcher data to test that function and then restored from the restore option in Nova Settings and it restored everything, including the widgets on each of the home screens (except that, for widgets that require configuration before they load, it left a box with "Tap to restore widget" and when you tap that, it brings up the widget settings screne). The restore left all the widgets, even those requiring configuration, resized as I had them when you ran the Nova backup).

---------- Post added at 11:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------

Forgive me if this has already been answered -- I read through subsequent posts and didn't see it. I just moved the thumbnail preview screens around on the preview screen until the one I wanted as default appeared first after a reboot. For me, with 4 screens chosen, there's on thumb pictured at top, two in the center and one underneath. The screen on the left on the row of two is the default screen.

If someone knows of an easier way to do it, I'd love to hear how they did it.

Edit: I've found one small bug. The icons in a couple of my home screen folders keep rearranging themselves. Is there a way to lock the folder so they don't move around, or could filters be implemented, like to sort alphabetically or by size, etc.? Thanks again for an awesome launcher!
[Nova Launcher] Guardsix:
This is just a fantastic launcher! I was a little hesitant to install it not knowing really what it would provide. But, I just can't live with only 5 home screens so I was extremely surprised to find that I could add many more with Nova Launcher.

The only suggestion I would have is to allow for scrollable widgets like "Scrollable News Widget" which I used all the time on my Droid X.

Again, thanks for a great launcher! :D :D
[Nova Launcher] KBanause:
"Scrollable News Widget" needs to get updated to accept ICS's native launcher (and with that I believe Nova Launcher would be supported too). I already posted that in the official thread of the "Scrollable News Widget".

Greetings,

KBanause

I get major delay on drawing the home screen. It's a good 5-6 secs at least on occasion. Is there a fix for this?
[Nova Launcher] Redflea:
Beautiful launcher, thanks so much for all the fine work you've done on this.

Kevin...There appears to be a conflict between this launcher and soft key mods being developed for the various ROMS being produced for the Nexus. The keys don't center properly, are pushed to the right.

Are you aware of this, and is this something you are considering looking into?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
It's less of an ICS versus Honeycomb issue, than a scaling issue. From what I understand, upscaling to 10.1" is fairly complex and time consuming. Kevin has never said that he won't support tablets, just that they aren't first in line at the moment. Hopefully we'll get a tablet version to tinker with, some time early in the new year. :)

[Nova Launcher] budwizer:
Another vote for gesture actions. That is the only feature that I am missing from Go Launcher. Like the ability to swipe up/down on screen to show/hide status bar. Also would love dock icon gestures so I can double up on my icons. For example I have my bank app in the dock and swipe action to launch Starbucks app.
[Nova Launcher] just4747:
So, I emailed this issue to the developer Kevin but haven't received a response yet. Thought I'd post here as I cannot get rid of it.

I've been using Nova for two days now and I like it a lot. I have a major issue though:

-After restoring a Nova setup backup and restoring/readding whatever widgets, after a while I noticed that none of the widgets would update any longer. Even after I removed and readded some, they would no longer function. This includes Moogly ToDo list, Whizz Calendar, AudioManager Pro, etc. In the ToDo, I would create a new entry, but the widget would never display the entry no matter what I tried. Even changing the color of the ToDo notepad widget in its options wouldnt show on the actual widget. In Whizz Calendar, no new calendar entries would show there either. I tried force stopping/restarting Nova, clearing Nova data, readding a few Widgets from scratch, but still they couldn't update. Only once force closing and restarting Nova made Widgets work again, but then it went right back to not working anymore.

I've now tried all of the above and even uninstalling and reinstalling nova as a system app and it keeps happening! How can I be the only one?? My widgets are basically unusable. Ive even tried clearing my home screens and readding widgets from scratch but same issue after a little while.

I'm on ICS 4.0 kang toro ROM, Galaxy Nexus on Verizon.

Thanks, Justin

The home button action can be better.

When I am in the nova setting, I press home button and want to go back to home,

it endup following the home button action and show the preview.

Same issue if pressing home in the task managing mode

Its quite annoying..

Can you change it as the home button action only be triggered when it is on the desktop but not on settings?

I love the the appearance of grouping on the home screen of ICS,

but it is kinda stupid that need to put in one by one,

Is it possible to group the icon with a list and check mark?

And..How to get into system settings now???

There is no system setting in the menu now.

I don't want to put the settings icon on my screen
[Nova Launcher] jss42:
Firstly great launcher. Will happily purchase once it's in the market.

Can I make one request. Could there be an option to only show apps in the app draw that don't have desktop shortcuts? So it's more of a "misc" section. With folders I now have lots of desktop links, and this would help clean things up.
[Nova Launcher] logonaniket:
Thank you for awesome launcher. I love it :)

Plz include "Hide App Icons" feature in next update. Its a must have feature.

P.S. Inbuild Disabling app feature of ICS is only applicable to stock apps, besides that if you disable the app you won't be able to use it. I'm asking for Hiding icons for apps like widgets, live wallpaper etc. This feature is already there in other launchers.
[Nova Launcher] jamontoast1291:
I agree completely! The only feature that it preventing me from switching.

Another option which would be nice is the ability to lock the homescreen in the phone's memory so it never will redraw.

To get widgets in drawer, Nova Launcher needs to be installed as a system app.
