Is anyone else having problems changing the icons? It won't let me change the icon to something from my gallery, everything else seems to work though.
[Nova Launcher] roninep:
I'm having sorta the same issue. Posted a few pages back but no answer yet. I was trying to change homescreen icons with a transparent background icon but it changes the transparency to solid black. I can change the icons though.

Only way that I know of is to set it within what ever screen lock program your using. For example, I'm using widget lock, under advance part of menu, the is an option where you can set to have the unlocked page always be your home screen. Hope this help.

Everytime that I delete an app, the app is deleted but I still have the icon inside the drawer folders and I need to delete the shortcut again after uninstall the app.

Is this a bug? Intended? Can I change this behavior?

[Nova Launcher] coldmachineUK:
Experiencing the same here on I-9500.

Gallery and dropbox don't work for changing icons. However, installed icon themes (apk) and stock/default prebuilt lists work. It's only individual icon images that don't.
[Nova Launcher] bogdan1980:
Few versions ago this won't happen. So it's an new bug. I'm on latest beta. I have at least 50 icons in folders from apps that i uninstall. All icons became green like standard android icon.

Is there any way to turn the dock into an overlay (add on or plug in) that would be available system wide? By that I mean, if I'm in any app I can swipe up from the bottom and my dock will pop up.
[Nova Launcher] rsarwar:
I did restart Nova but the icons then turned into Android's .. The options of selecting them and choosing Remove is only possible if the icons/folders were on the homescreen, this is in the Apps / Widgets menu where Nova allows folder creation. The only thing I could do was to remove the folder itself which removed the icons, then recreate and shuffle the required apps back into the new folder (annoying).

Nope, I'm losing my mind too pal!

Yeah man, I'm sure Kevin will amaze us all with some cool stuff with NL. I'm a recovering Go Launcher EX addict as well (from my DX/CM7 prior to my GNex), so there's lots of fancy stuff I'd like to see here too. The dev is responsive, and I just check for an update every day, and respect that he probably would like to have a life outside his phone just like any normal person. :D

[Nova Launcher] butchyon:
Here's what I would like. In all previous versions of Android, I could create a shortcut on the home screen of any file (pdf, jpg, Word, etc.) that resided somewhere on my phone. You just long-press on any home screen, and you would get a drop-down menu that included "Create a Shortcut". Then you used Astro File Manager to navigate to the desired file, select the file, and presto, you had a shortcut to that file on your home screen. We've lost that ability in ICS! There's no way I've found in ICS to create a shortcut to an individual file anymore. That sucks. Can you do that?
[Nova Launcher] GooTz66:
Testing this out for the first time and so far it a nice replacement to stock ICS. I have always been a fan of ADW EX but I want to have the full ICS experience right now. With that said I use an app called Photo Contact Widget and needs scrollable widget support; will or can this be added to Nova? TIA
[Nova Launcher] tedo911:
Scrollable widgets already work in Nova. I'm using Android Pro Widgets right now and they work just fine.
[Nova Launcher] GooTz66:
Thanks for the quick response. Maybe the app is just not compatible or something. I'll look into it more. Cheers!
[Nova Launcher] KBanause:
if "Photo Contact Widget" can not scroll then you have to ask the developer of that widget to implement support for the scrollable widget api of Honeycomb/ICS.

Which link is for beta 8? I see the uninstall a beta link. Not sure which one. Does it flash the same way thru cwm?
[Nova Launcher] Deus_eps_machina:
Absolutely incredible launcher.

One request though...full screen homescreens. I screwed up my systemui.apk a few hours ago and lost the soft keys and the notification bar...so everything was full screen. Looked good.

But it would be nice to have the option to hide the notification bar with a swipe up and to view it by swiping down
[Nova Launcher] lightsout:
I tried to select to disable the search bar. Nothing happened. So I set it back to be enabled. Now I keep getting a smaller search bar popping up below the stock one. I did a reboot didn't seem to do anything. Is this common?
[Nova Launcher] baghera1979:
Nevermind... forgot to check for update thru the launcher
[Nova Launcher] OSully:
I'm probably in the minority here, but I actually think the margins look kind of silly set like this. Some of my Widgets are just too spread out.
[Nova Launcher] andyk1:

id prefer the previous margins, the default launcher margins
[Nova Launcher] fakieskr8333:
Just got beta 8, I like the new transitions but they look a little choppy. Might just be me though. Also I would to be able to hide icon labels in the drawer. I had an idea for widgets in the drawer.

[Nova Launcher] dodgebizkit:
That's cos our s3 don't have enough ram :( you might have to remove some ram hogging apps or root and use greenify to free up ram, and titanium to freeze all the bloat that Samsung install.

Sucks we. Have such an amazing processor but the ram is less than it needs to run properly with the firmware

What are you talking about? Nexus S has 512 RAM and runs smoother. Phones shouldn't use so much RAM, I hate how we need to have 8GB to run things almost smooth. Even Windows 7 (on PC) runs smooth on 512 RAM. Why would a phone need so much RAM?

Is there any way to use Nova as a rom's default launcher?

Cause when i put Nova.apk in the OP, there is a big red attention message that it is unofficial etc..etc...

Tough i download nova prime from playstore later and everything works... And one last thing, can i backup my launcher settings and restore them after flashing updaged rom with formatting system?

[Nova Launcher] andrewilley:
Let me take a quick look at the Nova Settings menu for you...

Hmm, "Backup and Import (import layout or backup Nova's settings)", right there on the very first screen, might just help you.

And just below it, still on that initial menu screen, you could try setting "Select Default Home" to Nova Launcher as the default.

[Nova Launcher] Xphoid:
Love Sarcasm!

Don't wanna select default home... that's not what i mean! I build ROM and wanna use only Nova @ /system/app and when i put the apk in the OP... In the Nova Settings I have;

"Thiz Nova Launcher is unofficial and not supported. It is recommended you to uninstall and install only the official version. etc..etc..etc..."

Isn't there any other way to use Nova as only launcher?
[Nova Launcher] abood89:
happened to me too, it will create the shortcut on other launchers for some reason.

Solution

:

on any of your home screens on nova launcher, tap and hold on an empty area

select shortcuts, then Activities

now go down to Clean Master

and select the one with this written under "com.CleanMaster.ProcessCleaner.ProcessCleanerActivity"

**don't select the 1Tap Boost, It won't work**

Enjoy.
[Nova Launcher] peped94:
Thanks . That works for me . But the widget is same like the icon of clean master . Not the real widget icon . But no prob as long as it works .:fingers-crossed:

Same issues with icons

Hi Kevin,

I am currently having the same issue with my VZW Galaxy S4 (Stock unrooted); I cannot change icons manually on Nova 2.1. Icon packs installed as apk's work fine in Nova, but I cannot take my own icons (ones that worked on my Gnex in Nova 2.1 just fine) and use them on my S4.

I can find the icons and then select them, then crop them, but after I hit "OK", it says preparing image, and then returns to the edit screen.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jay
[Nova Launcher] LordManhattan:
Not sure if this has already been mentioned, but apps that are installed on SD card and has a custom app drawer icon will lose its icon after each reboot. I guess the reason for this is that Android has to scan the SD card after each reboot, and that ain't quick.
[Nova Launcher] mbh87:
Did you install the beta? Works fine with it.
[Nova Launcher] JayBeezy802:

Homescreen - Padding / - Margin

Hi, since my reboot today, UCCW crashes on every reboot (this is a minor matter) and I noticed, that I can't hide my Home Screen margins / padding any more on Nova Launcher. I set and reset it in the settings a couple of times, but no effect. I set it to small, big (yes, it changed) and reseted it to none again, but I still see space between any widgets and the border of the display. A short time ago I didn't have this space on it.

I have a NEXUS 4 with Stock ROM 4.2.2.

[Nova Launcher] -4ndr01d-:
throw any apk in /data/apps location in your rom.zip

it will install that app when flashing rom

...given you have permission to use nova, i would think the free version from play store would be ok, but it would no hurt to ask OP since its his app

if its peronal use only,use nova prime..if you rom is going to be public, only the free version, let users pay for their own prime key ...if this is incorrect someone correct me
[Nova Launcher] Anrikus:
As far as I know it's not forbidden or impossible to use Nova as a launcher for a Rom.

The warning message should only appear when you alter / change / modify the apk itself.

You can read here and here why this was implemented.

[Nova Launcher] chikimonke:
So what are the chances that we see the betas move into the new format that Google introduced at I/O where you join a G+ community and opt into being a beta tester, and can then get the beta updates directly from the Play Store?
[Nova Launcher] Ci-Fi:
+1 for this method
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
This is probably an obvious question , but did you set the correct permissions for Nova to operate as a system app? Also, is imagine that you can't add the Prime unlocker to a ROM because it's paid.

---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 PM ----------

I'm not exactly sure how this would work... Google rolled out new Play Store permissions that forbid the update of apps via any method besides the Play Store, didn't they? Personally, I hate the restriction, but I just don't see why they would rescind our ability to update outside of the Store, and then turn around and integrate an update function into G+, seeing as it's a far less secure method for devs to achieve the exact same result. Seems redundant, doesn't it?
[Nova Launcher] chikimonke:
I guess I'm not seeing how it's less secure? A community is made on G+ (public or private if you want to limit the number of beta testers) and then the Dev enables the ability for people to sign up to be a Beta Tester for that app. Then I imagine (I'm guessing because I'm not a dev) the Dev uploads the release and beta versions of the app to the Play Store. If your account is signed up to be a beta tester for that app you get the beta updates as they roll out, just like any other app update in the store, as well as the eventual release version. You can opt out of being a beta tester at any time as well. If you haven't tried out this method yet, you can do so with Trickster and Dashclock. I like it alot personally. Makes my OCD self far less hectic too, as I get the beta updates right from the Play Store as they are released and don't have to constantly check forums for them.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I like the way you're thinking, and I've always known you to be a good and active member, especially in the AK thread, so I'll use that as an example.

Remember when someone from Stefano's Project Chicago community leaked a kernel link in the thread, and the ensuing mess that occurred? That's what I mean by "less secure"... Random schmucks end up with access to things they shouldn't have, and it can cause problems for both developers and testers. Of course, here I'm talking about private beta, but if you're referring to public beta versions, then I completely agree with you.

Honestly, I don't think that Kevin would utilize the option, even if it is available. He'd be assaulted with requests to join the beta group, and it would turn into just as big of a farce as this thread is at times - constant feature requests, innocuous "bug" reports, misinformation, and complaining. I like your idea... I just don't see how it would be beneficial to anyone other than us (the end users). It would make Kevin's life a bit more tedious, and we (as a community) place far too many demands on his (and other developers') time as it is.

Again, not trying to start anything...just expressing my opinion. Personally, I haven't had any issues with my beta test group for my ROM, but it's only 6 people right now. If I added hundreds of people to the group, I'd go insane, lol.
[Nova Launcher] chikimonke:
While I understand your example, it really only applies to a private beta. The beta is already readily available to the masses here, so making it a public beta program through the Play Store I would think would make things easier for him. Again, I'm not a Dev so I don't know exactly, but knowing what I do about Google, I'm pretty certain there are some good metrics available to the Devs about who is downloading their apps, what version of Android they are running, what device, etc. I think this would be quite advantageous to a developer for beta testing. I imagine it also makes it easier in the sense that he would only have to upload files in one location. Basically it boils down to this, it'd be great for the end user and I think advantageous to Kevin if he decided to do it, but if he decides not to, I'll just keep religiously checking this thread hoping for an update :laugh:

Will build the rom and than put the pure FREE version of APK in my ROM.zip... i guess this will sort the matter...

Some of my observations on the new icon picker - I don't know when it appeared, I think it was with 2.1, but anyway...

It's nicer, runs smoother, but what frustrates me is that in some previous versions, I could pick an app's icon and this app's icon in the currently applied icon pack would be used (for an app or a folder I choose to modify). Now, in 'App Icon', it's only the stock icons for the apps that are displayed. Is there something I'm missing?
