Hi, I added a 1x1 widget to the dock. The widget is placed slightly higher than the other icons and below the widget a fragment of the widgets name appears. See my Screenshot. Do you know how I get rid of this?

I know but apex let's you swipe down for a second one, eliminating my need for a second app drawer.

I hope Nova implements this as nova IMO is far superior.

Hi, I'm facing this problem, and it appeared today after I updated my apps in Play Store, three of them, and the icons of those three apps are messed up in App Drawer. Flipboard, Dropbox and Network Monitor Mini. What should I do?

I've tried Clear Cache of Nova Prime, nothing.

Sorry if this is known, but does anyone else have trouble with horizontal scrolling in the app drawer? It just seems unresponsive, like 1/5 swipes don't register. It doesn't happen if my app drawer is set to horizontal or list mode. Only happens when it's in vertical mode.
[Nova Launcher] wilcomir:
Are you serious? Prime custom gestures are:

pinch in

pinch out

swipe up

swipe down

double tap

two finger swipe up

two finger swipe down

clockwise rotation

counterclockwise rotation

I bet that's enough for any action you can imagine...

[Nova Launcher] Kurre:
I think that he's meaning an option to swipe down over an icon on the homescreen. Currently we only have swipe up option. That might be useful for one's using those gestures a lot.. But dunno how many user would really benefit from that feature. :)

But anyway, requests should go to the uservoice page :rolleyes:

[Nova Launcher] dougm1970:
can i ask a newbie question please.

installed nova prime last night and am very happy...huge improvement for me over touchwiz which i found a bit too toy-ish for me.

anyway...in nova, when expanding a folder of icons.....is there a way to add a border around the expanded folder or add a brighter background to the expanded folder ??....it clashes, or looks cluttered, sitting directly on top of the other icons behind it...like this..
[Nova Launcher] killchain:
The guy has a reason, actually. Don't you sometimes use your device with one hand only? I do and I personally can't perform any two-finger gesture while holding the phone and operating it with the same hand. So double the gestures for 4, 5, 6 or as much icons you have on a dock page and tell me it wouldn't be useful. I don't know, but I think swipe down actions wouldn't be too hard to implement when we already have swipe up.
[Nova Launcher] gcogger:
I agree, it looks a bit 'cheap' :)
[Nova Launcher] Kamy:
Thanks a lot for your great job. I love Nova than all other launchers. Keep it up. :good:

One request if possible, consider in next version: custom arrangement of apps in app drawer.
[Nova Launcher] lhavelund:
It's been requested previously, but will Nova ever support dynamic display size changes? I have a PadFone 2, but so far, I've found no launchers that support the switch between tablet and phone view (except for the default -- which I don't particularly like). Nova looks amazing, but without support for display size switches, it's unusable to people like myself.

I've played around with it a bit, and it feels fantastic on a handset, though -- good job! If PadFone 2 support is added to Nova, I'll definitely pick up Prime.

Nova Launcher has stopped! Galaxy S3

I have been trying to get my setup the way I like it on my new Galaxy S3 so first thing I did was buy Prime but I am getting a million FC/stopped working when I try to drag widgets around or pick on from list and even worse when I drag widgets from drawer. I have tried everything I can think of including clearing out Touchwiz and clearing defaults also making Nova the default launcher but now after a few days of using Nova it's getting worse. I have purchased several icon packs, UCCW, and Zooper pro widget but can't get anything setup completely due to launcher FC. I am getting fed up with restarting and creating widgets over and over after FC so please help me get this issue resolved and if you can't help how do I get a refund so I can try another launcher because all these other apps/icons/widgets I bought are pretty much useless without a good home screen launcher replacement for Touchwiz? I had used Nova on my Evo4g forever with just a few small issues but not working properly on my Galaxy S3 running stock Jellybean 4.1.1! I would love to be able to use Nova Prime with success should I try the beta? Thanks!
[Nova Launcher] dodgebizkit:
Its definitely not a problem with the launcher itself as it works perfectly for me on my s3, only problem I have with it is that it's not compatible with go launcher themes...

Until the dev or someone comes back with a reply I'd recommend temporarily trying apex, then uninstall apex when you finally get Nova stable on your device (for stone reason it will continue hogging ram)

Hope this helps and sorry I can't be more help.

Side note I don't see why people are saying apex is smoother, its slightly laggy and very ramhoggy for me, often gets redraws even with the stay in ram option ticked. Has some nice features I'd like to see in Nova though.

Nova 2.x is the smoothest launcher I've ever tried and it's smoother than my iOS devices for me. Well done to the dev.

This has more to do with personal set up and installed apps then the launcher.
[Nova Launcher] savannahmick:
What widgets are you using with Nova issue seems to be only when I am doing widget moving/adding. Anyone know if any widgets cause issues and which ones are suspect? By the way I bought Prime because I like Nova and know the launcher is great so I am not saying it sucks or anything like that just want to be able to use it as my daily launcher. Any info/advice would be great! Thanks Again!
[Nova Launcher] dodgebizkit:
I had them both set up exactly the same,imported the settings then manually set up the widgets again. Nova is far superior on performance and ram (on my Set up).

May I repeat this question which I already searched and found that it was asked a few times but no answer was given?

Is there any hope for the missing headphone tray icons (Page buddy in 4.1.2) to be fixed in Nova? there is an external patch which I want to avoid as it interferes with system libraries so if there is any hope for a Nova fix, I'd rather wait.

[Nova Launcher] Milamber33:
Samsung make it show up with Touchwiz. But just like all the Touchwiz widgets (and all the Sense widgets for those on HTC devices), it's Touchwiz specific. Not Nova's fault that vendors lock some things to their own launchers, and without any documentation, it may be virtually impossible to add support.

Samsung built it back in. I noticed it when the the source droped for ICS from Google. I don't understand why they did it but they did.

Um, what's the question? When you're in Android, it's simply /sdcard. If you're digging around in CWM or something like that.. it's going to be the full /data/media/0 path. It's basically a chroot.

ie: You don't have to "find" any paths, unless you're not actually in Android.

Touch and Hold delay setting

Hi all!

I'm having a little problem with Nova recognizing the system setting for Touch and Hold delay (it's in the Accessibility settings). I have it set to 'long' to avoid accidentally moving the icons on the screen; however Nova's default setting for this is pretty fast (at least for the home screens). Does anyone know where in the Nova settings I can change this?

I do realize I can lock the desktop, however that has some disadvantages.

ROM: SuperNexus (JB 4.1.2)
[Nova Launcher] #illidan:
There isn't such an option.

No.

Add a feature request in user voice but for now I don't think anything can be done about it. You can tick the continuous scrolling option to remove it.

[Nova Launcher] khaytsus:
Anyone else having problems with wallpaper changing? I have two apps, WallSwitch and Wallpaper Changer, both which have their own strengths, and both are failing to switch wallpaper randomly on my Nexus 7.

If I switch to the stock launcher, they switch every time, but only for like 6-7 times in a row, then they start failing. Then I switch back to Nova, again, 6-7 times they're find, then they start failing again.

So I have no idea if this is an AOSP-derived code problem that Nova shares with the stock launcher, an Android problem in general, or.. what's going on. I might try an old school launcher like ADW or something just to compare behavior, curious if anyone else is having such problems.

FYI these apps change the background, just like if you manually did it. Don't want something like Multiwallpaper Live that switches every time you switch desktops, images are only shown on a single desktop, etc.

[Nova Launcher] Stuphologist:
I'd vote for a way to turn them off, too. They're totally unrelated to the scrolling effect, don't move with the background, and are, frankly, one of the dumber things Google has done to the UI. That said, the workaround I settled on is to change the color theme (Nova settings>Look and feel>Color Theme) to medium-dark grey. It's unobtrusive against just about any background.

Dave

---------- Post added at 08:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 AM ----------

This isn't really launcher related. If you change the wallpaper manually yourself do the background changes start working again? Does a reboot fix it? Are you using a custom ROM or kernel?

No there isn't but an option to change the desktop Folder style to app drawer folder style would be good.

Yeah, it's probably completely unrelated to Nova, I should have tried another non-AOSP ICS/JB derived launcher before posting in the thread. Haven't had a chance yet, however. Like ADW, etc..

I'll try the manual changing of wallpaper, hadn't considered that.. I'd assume reboot would fix it, since switching launchers does. Restarting Nova (via its own preference) does not fix it, interestingly. And no, stock Nexus 7 (rooted 4.2.1). I don't have any problem on my Note, also with Nova, running 4.1.2.
[Nova Launcher] SenK9:
Fantastic launcher, I've been through about half a dozen of the other popular ones and settled on Nova. Bought a key and the icon-specific swipe gestures are a huge space/time saver, as well as the home screen two-finger gestures. Definitely the smoothest and most balanced of all launchers I've tried, would highly recommend!
[Nova Launcher] vinirockman:
Can't update...

I can't update Nova. It came with my ROM so I just can't for no reason.

I have other launcher that came with the ROM too and it updates fine... How can I fix that?

I'm pretty sure that this app is in the root as the other launcher but I really don't know why I can't update it...

Any ideas?
[Nova Launcher] jacklebott:
Since it came with your rom, do you know if your version of Nova Launcher is modded in any way? Or a signature mismatch could prevent updating as well. Try directly replacing the app in /system/app/ manually rather than installing normally (644 permissions)
[Nova Launcher] vinirockman:
That simple? Just download the latest apk and replace the apk on system with root explorer?
[Nova Launcher] jacklebott:
Yup. After copying it over, just make sure the permissions are correct, then reboot
[Nova Launcher] vinirockman:
It went wrong :}

I replaced and now the Nova Launcher doesn't exists outside root explorer. Any other idea?
[Nova Launcher] jacklebott:
Did you make absolutely sure the permissions are correct at 644? (RW-R--R--)
[Nova Launcher] ylexot:
You could always just delete it and then re-install it the normal way from the market.

[Nova Launcher] tacchan23:
I don't know why... but every time I try to access the Nova Launcher User Voice page it's never working :(

So I try to ask here...

Are there any plans to introduce a screen transition similar to that of Galaxy S3/Note2 TouchWiz? That's by far the best effect.

Also, after using Apex and ADW for some time now, I feel that the "fling" length pn Nova is too long. (doing a really short fling on Apex or ADW I can scroll all my pages without fail while on Nova I get stuck most of the time)

Thanks!
