I have some weird glitch sometimes,

when i swipe through the apps in appdrawer and getting into widgets, the first 2 widget-swipes dont show me the preview of the widget on that tile, so i see only the grey tiles.

It happens very rare

Using Gnex 4.2.1 stock, newest nova launcher (+prime)

Someone faced the same problem?

[Nova Launcher] killchain:
I was using nova the first few weeks when I got my phone, but In no way I am paying $5 for the Prime version now, when there's other launchers that offer near the same functionality at no cost. Things I miss a lot in the free version of Nova: swipe up/down, double tap on the homescreen; pinch to show all home screens. If another $0.99 promotion comes around, then yeah, I might give it a try, but not now.

[Nova Launcher] EvolutionXIII:
All I'm saying is that it would be easier on all if its added. Its not a huge feature so hopefully it won't be hard to integrate. There are users that would find the whole drawer app on nova a bit more complicated than on apex which it is. You'll be surprised at how some users are when you get accustomed to something so small and it becomes a huge feature when its gone and because of that they don't switch which is a dollar or two lost to the developer.

Anyway I decided to switch to Nova anyway because the interface is much better than apex and its also much smoother. It was a pain having to keep switching between apex to make sure that I have all the system apps and nothing extra (which is my main problem) but I'll live with it for now.

[Nova Launcher] el_smurfo:
Not really a Nova question, but anyone try to associate a system action like "go to sleep" with a gesture? I think it'd be cool for a two finger swipe to put the phone to sleep (to save on power button use).

EDIT:

Works great. Have it as two finger swipe down and it shuts off the device nicely without wear on the power button. The link for anyone interested:

Thank you for checking in to let us know of your opinion. Don't let the door hit your cheap ass on the way out. I hope you haven't gone & done this on the Apex thread as well.

There is a Labs option for people with such kind of issues. It's called "Restart widget on Resume". See of that helps you out.

got a strange issue, seems to be related to beautiful widgets. nova just force closes, I really can't explain why it started to do so.

I am on 2.0b3 or b4 I'm not really sure and I cannot check right now.

EDIT

well I think the guys of levelup messed up something with theyr latest update. It seems bw does not update properly, if I try to update or uninstall it my nexus reboots... And nova is not happy to try to draw a widget that does not exist.

Question for kev: is the layout file/db/whatever easily accessible? I'd like to delete bw from there so I can use nova while the guys at levelup fix this problem. got root and a pair of hands, I think this is enough...

I hope this is just bad luck.

I'm almost always perplexed as to why spending $5.00 on an app is so much money but spending $8.00 on a big Mac meal is cheap. I get so much more out of Nova Launcher Prime then McDonalds had ever given me. I guess people just have no idea the time and effort that goes into developing software.

[Nova Launcher] wilcomir:
Ok kev, no luck trying to (un)install bw multiple times, so I cleared nova's data, installed bw and restored a (luckly not so much) old backup. I think that a bw update went wrong for a random motivation, and that that somehow screwed up nova. I think you should revise how widgets referring to non existent apps are treated. I didn't really read the logcat so maybe there is a specific problem, but if it is not the case something like "hey you're missing xyz widget, I'm removing it, just keep having fun with my great launcher" would be great instead of a fc.

[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Sorry it's not. I hope to one day make it available for other developers but it's not anywhere near ready for that right now. It actually includes licensing as well, as it's originally built for paypal licensing of WidgetLocker but also handles beta testing (with private and public betas)

Server side is a mess of perl scripts and a mysql database. Database has apps, versions including if the version is private beta or public beta (or release), user licenses (for private betas and for paypal licenses. Not used in Nova yet).

App speaks JSON over HTTP to the server. Licensing is very similar to Google's LVL but again JSON over HTTP.

So for the update notification I poll the server once in a while for the current version code (requesting either release, public or private beta). If it's greater than what's installed show the notification. The changelog dialog pulls HTML from my server. APK is downloaded to the sdcard and installed with Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);

intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(new File(filepath)), "application/vnd.android.package-archive");

Yes. try beta7.

APK updates should work. Check settings.

Thanks for the update Kevin :)

I absolutely love your launcher...

With your launcher, ICS is as smooth as GB, and no other launcher comes close to yours in looks or performance on ICS...

Amazing job! :D

Keep it up :)
[Nova Launcher] :
kevin, why did you change the proportions of the dock?

i don't mind that you moved the google logo and the microphone a bit more to the center, for the search widget, but this?

could you please add an option to use the stock proportions.

it looks very cramped in your iteration and i could use the space so that don't accidentally click the navigation keys.

sorry, i can't help it, i pay a lot attention to detail, sometimes too much.

i finally started to switch to nova launcher from the stock one, but this is making me go back.

p.s. i also miss the trash can from the stock launcher, but that's a real small issue.
[Nova Launcher] oFcAsHeEp:
On HTC Sensation it doesn't feel cramped at all...

I actually welcome the extra homescreen space, as I like my wallpapers to shine :)

If you change stuff, please keep both options :D

Just installed this launcher today on my GN. Registered here to say thanks to the developer. I was very surprised to see the update come over a few hours later. Very nice! Everything looks great. THANK YOU for the hard work! :)

One problem I am seeing is that when I select "Downloaded apps" from the APPS tab in the drawer, the list is empty. Same goes for the "NEW" tab. It was working on beta 5. Not the end of the world by any means, but I figured I'd throw it out there. Maybe I'm missing something?

I installed beta 5. I have finally finished reading this entire thread and have to say, I'm glad I'm not you. Lol... While reading this I received both 6 and 7. I got to tell you this is one smooth launcher. Awesome job!

I'm not going to sit here and tell you what to put in as this is already my daily driver. I've been using it for the past 2 days and haven't seen any of the issues I have read here.

I'm just so happy i can have a basically stock looking launcher that's actually able to be configured as i like.

Would i like to clear unwanted icons from my drawer? yes. but i can make a single folder and put them in one place out of the way. Almost just as good as hiding them. No complaints here. BRAVO!!! Well done!
[Nova Launcher] IMGetwired:
Glitchy Home Button Action behavior on beta 7

Kevin,

Beta 7 is much better, overall! One potential bug that seems a bit irritating: Upon reboot / restarting Nova Launcher, it seems to disregard my Behavior setting for the Home Button Action. I prefer it to be set to 'Toggle Notification Bar', and have 'Only on Default Screen' unchecked. It reverts to the Desktop Home Screens ('Show Previews') view after every reboot/restart of app. Only way to get it back is to go back in to settings, set Behavior/Home Button Action to 'Show Previews', then set it back to 'Toggle Notification Bar'.

Can you, or anyone else for that matter, reproduce this? Perhaps it's a glitch with AXI0M 2.3?

Overall, WELL DONE, sir! Looking forward to purchasing the final product, and am happy to help test.
[Nova Launcher] ronx162:
ADW Themes

I searched the thread (without reading every post) and saw one person ask about ADW Theme support. I didn't see an answer, so I wanted to bring it up again, and second the suggestion if it hasn't been yet ;).

I was hoping to be able to create an icon set replacement as an ADW Theme instead of using just an ADW Icon Set to replace apps one by one. Any chance of supporting that?

Or, if you wanted to support icon set replacements as a proprietary thing, just let us devs know how to go about creating icon sets for your launcher -- though the ADW way seems to be fairly universal, so that would be preferred.

thanks!
[Nova Launcher] oFcAsHeEp:
I can confirm this...

I've just noticed it happening to me and went to check this thread, if anyone else has that problem too...

2 settings that I noticed keep resetting, the rotate screen settings, which I keep to "Default" and it keeps resetting to "AUto Rotate" and the Home Button action...which I also use for notifications, and it keeps resetting to show previews...
[Nova Launcher] drakenabarion:
Good set of updates. :-) I like settings in the menu button menu from desktop.

Things other than what you put on future features, which to me would make this launcher even more perfect are (I posted before but just giving an update - and I suggest as options so that people who like how things are now are unaffected):

1) An option in app/widget drawer to keep the apps and Widgets separate when changing pages. Apps act as if you disable the "Widgets in Drawer" option, but when you click Widgets, they are still in the drawer drawer, just as a permanently separate tab.

2) In app drawer, the option to change the shortcut on the top right to any other app, or to add custom apps to the drop down menu which you used instead of the market link. Perhaps even a custom app with normal pressing and some (Max of 5 maybe) other shortcuts with long press. It would be also good if the options for shortcuts were not just apps, but system shortcuts such as a direct link to set alarm, or direct link to Wifi settings, or something like that.

[Edit] forgot to add, I would like to choose default desktop screen. I have 3 screens, I wish number 3 to be default, but it us permanently set as desktop number 2[/Edit]

At this point, everything else I can think of is purely cosmetic. The biggest cosmetic issue I have is in the app drawer - I would like to disable the grey triangle on the active apps/Widgets tab, or change the colour to the same blue as the rest of the line. (it seems for me that desktop settings are perfect).

And of these are my only issues, it just shows how complete your launcher is becoming.
[Nova Launcher] marshallladd:
I'm having the same issue. I used toggle notification to hide the status bar then changed it to expand status bar to give me a full screen effect. doing that worked for a bit, then my app drawer turned black and home button just reset nova over and over.

suggestion: make show hide status bar a toggle setting for people like me who don't need the status bar on our home screen. also, any plans for gesture support. like swipe up opens app drawer, swipe down expands statistics bar. just an idea and the only thing I miss from adw ex on my EVO 4G.

Loving this launcher.

Just bought Nova launcher prime, and while i enjot it, i'm just wondering:

Is there any way to 1)move folder from the app drawer to my desktop? and 2)rotate dock/searchbar in landscape mode? if there is, can some one please tell me how? if not, i strongly advise that you add the options, as i would really like to drag my folder to the desktop, and/or rotate the dock/searchbar like in go launcher :). otherwise it is one of the best launchers available.

Thanks in advance, E.

bump. I'd lake to change the icons to simpletext, but it's redundant if the label is still there. Any help?
[Nova Launcher] yhrn:
Hi,

Testing 2.0beta6 (Prime) and I'm seeing some very strange behavior when using custom drawer groups. I've added 7 custom tabs (no groups) and organized each app I have into one of these tabs. The first thing I encountered was that when configuring drawer groups the app selection view sometimes fails to populate, i.e. it comes up empty. This is intermittent and after a few retries it usually populates but sometimes I hade to leave Nova settings completely to get it to work.

The main problem I'm having is that when using the app drawer the tabs behave incorrectly. My setup is (CT = Custom Tab) Apps -> Widgets -> CT1 -> CT2 -> ... -> CT7, vertical style, infinite scrolling enabled (same behavior with this one disabled though).

The behavior I'm seeing is that Apps, Widgets. CT1/CT2 behave correctly but when I move from CT2 to CT3 I briefly see the stuff that should be in CT3 but then it switches to showing the contents of CT4. Swiping to CT4 shows the contents of CT5 and so on until I reach the end and move back into Apps, which still contains the expected apps. Moving the other way back via CT7 to CT6 and so on until CT3 all tabs show up empty until I reach CT2, which is still displayed correctly.

Going back to the configuration everything still seems to be the way I set it up there.
