Lot of bugs in 1.0.2 beta 2, Transition (like In & Out) doesn't work any more (Screen appears when animation is finished). Don't see any optimisation in transition, like beta 1, Accordeon animation in App Drawer is NOT smooth (but smooth in final 1.0.0).

Thx for your time.
[Nova Launcher] Rizeeu:
Is it possible to have widgets in app-drawer not to join with apps? Like CM9 trechbulet when u click on widgets to get there, not by sliding
[Nova Launcher] dmarden:
Really like the new revolving door transition... Good stuff.
[Nova Launcher] tyraelasd:
Is it just me or the tablet/honeycom transition is kinda buggy? When I scroll through from one homescreen to another it shows half of the animation, I mean while its scrolling just shows one homescreen moving not both of em. Anyone else with this issue?

thanks
[Nova Launcher] LPT:
I have the same issue. And I experience an annoying bug: when I touch the folder icon,it will open the app which has the same position with that folder but on the next page,instead of opening the folder itself. Its still fine if I touch on the folder name though.
[Nova Launcher] tyraelasd:
Exactly, then go back to 1.0.1:rolleyes: .
[Nova Launcher] BlackDino:
Great launcher, I love how the tablet effect has the border around it. Anyway to add this to the in and out effect?

[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
For those having issues with the transitions, are you on tablets or phones and on stable official roms on unofficial roms (I'll support both as it was working before, but I need to be able to reproduce).
[Nova Launcher] tyraelasd:
Im running it on a phone ( galaxy ace ) with a beta3 stage of CM9 ( pretty stable ). That was the only transition that didnt work properly, rest of em did without problems
[Nova Launcher] solarus2011:
I'm on a Galaxy Nexus running Codename Android. Prior to Beta 2 was working fine. Using the Cube transition in the meantime which is running flawlessly btw, only the ones I mentioned in the earlier post are giving me problems.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Droid 3 on AOKP build 27 and A500 Thor v96. I haven't updated the tablet, so I'm not sure if it will have issues, but the transitions were odd enough on the D3 to force me to revert to 1.0.1 for the time being. No rush though Kevin, I know you're working hard! :)

I'm using an unofficial ROM (phone) suffering from the page mismatch on icon/widget selection.
[Nova Launcher] OSully:
I have the icon mismatch issue. A reboot fixed it. Using aokp latest right now on my cdma nexus.

Also, is it just me or are the dock icons sitting higher now?
[Nova Launcher] Braneless:
I'm late in jumping onto the Nova launcher bandwagon, but I began using it since it was included in a recent theme I flashed (I've been a diehard ADW Ex guy).

Nova is very nice and offers great features that Google should have added from the start. It's running smooooth as silk on my Nexus and has enough flexibility and features - even the free version - to allow me to configure my phone how I like it.

Thanks TeslaCoil!
[Nova Launcher] kkl1993:
i just updated to the new beta, and now my transition is messed up. everything was fine till i updated.
[Nova Launcher] madd0g:
I agree, actually I like the stock launchers action. Maybe there's an option to turn the popup off when you hold the widget.

[edit] 1000th post, yay.
[Nova Launcher] OSully:
Update: Just flashed back to the previous beta. My icons are definitely lower again.

I played with the different height settings to no avail.

Only bothers me because my wallpaper is setup with widget borders and now my dock icons overlap them.
[Nova Launcher] nxt:
1.0.2beta2 March 5 2012

I have widgets on a few screens, and when you swipe to that screen, the widgets "appear"

Seems like they disappear when not viewing that page and when you go to that homescreen they reappear, it's very annoying :P

EDIT. Looks like everything on the homescreen (except dock items) "appear" when you swipe into that homescreen. Yeah very annoying, kinda like the screen "flashes" and the icons/widgets/etc appear.
[Nova Launcher] FoulDroid:
Just switched from adw.Launcher.Ex to Nova and everything is smooth and fast!

Having this same issue on HTC Incredible running Abduction ICS (based on AOKP). Downgraded to 1.0.2beta1 and all is well.
[Nova Launcher] druhaul:
Great job with no dock shadows dev!

Some suggestions for future releases...

-infinite scroll on app drawer

-option for random transition animations (desktop & app drawer)

Same problem here with 1.0.2 beta2. All icons point to the icon on the next screen. Had to manually go back to beta 1. GSM galaxy nexus 4.0.2, stock.
[Nova Launcher] carrot34:
Hurray for beta 4! I love this launcher. Thank you.
[Nova Launcher] HanSolo607:
Does Beta 4 include the ability to change dock settings yet?

Getting rid of the gray line above the dock would make this golden!!
[Nova Launcher] EvanVanVan:
Hey just updated to beta4.

Now NovaLauncher FC's when I enter landscape mode. Both with the Desktop and the App drawer, didn't happen with beta3.

Great work otherwise, thanks
[Nova Launcher] dpadaddict:
Same here
[Nova Launcher] xanthumn:
In addition to the above I experience FCs when unlocking the phone to the camera then pressing the home key. Otherwise thank you for the holiday update.
[Nova Launcher] dspcap:
First time I tried to update to Beta 4, it didn't take for some reason. I just did it again and now I have beta 4. Now it's rock-in.... Thanks
[Nova Launcher] arkabeoeht:
Yay

Great update, now all you have to do is fix the custom icon size issue and we will be set. Honestly I would pay 5 or more dollars for this if the icon issue is fixed and there are no other bugs.
[Nova Launcher] dspcap:
I have discovered why I like this launcher so much. It keeps the cool parts of ICS and integrates in the things that are missing from the stock launcher.

Thank you for this great app !!!
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I'm also getting a force close when trying to use auto-rotate. Since I force portrait, it's not a huge deal for me, and other than that, this update is absolutely fantastic!! Thank you again!! :)

[Nova Launcher] carrot34:

[Nova Launcher] aramos87:
I seen the toggle status bar option on the change log. But couldn't find it in settings? Anyone know where that is?
[Nova Launcher] vapotrini:
Nova Settings>Behavior>Home button action

It'll only work if you have Nova launcher set as your default launcher though. Which I'm not to crazy about in all honesty. I like having the freedom to seamlessly switch between launchers.
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Beta5 Dec 22 2011

Fix landscape/tablet FC introduced in Beta4

Also Long-press in empty space > Nova Actions > Toggle Notification Bar. This saves the state to disk so reboot or whatever will keep it hidden even if you remove the shortcut or change your default launcher or whatever.

I meant to put it as a checkbox preference in settings but didn't fit it in there yet. Will do it in a future update.
[Nova Launcher] aramos87:
Thanks! That worked! And I know what you mean about switching between launchers.. but I love the look of no status bar! The screen is just so big!!!! Hahaha I love my phone!!
[Nova Launcher] chris61292:
Love this launcher, thank you for your work. As of right now the only option I truly miss is the ability to make the drawer background translucent. Could you possibly add this?
[Nova Launcher] MontAlbert:
Trying to upgrade from beta 3 to beta 5 but I keep getting "unable to parse package" and won't install the upgrade... What am I doing wrong?
[Nova Launcher] Viper Matrix Wireless:
Is there a reason why I don't have the clock with the weather in the picture when I put it in the system/app to install before I flashed a ROM?
[Nova Launcher] chris61292:
The clock is a widget not a part of the launcher. Either Beautiful Widgets or another clock from the market.
[Nova Launcher] Maddmatt:
As an alternative (maybe simpler to develop) to app drawer folders....

How about being able to make custom groups and assign apps to those groups. Groups can be chosen where we have "Apps" and "Widgets" selection at the top of the app drawer.

And have us able to swipe between them just like normal app drawer pages as well.

Would you consider that?

You've got a perfect chance to grab market share from the other launchers as some of them seem to have issues in ICS like not supporting H/W acceleration. Don't wait too long to put this on the Market :)
[Nova Launcher] imreezm:
Is there a way to set number of homescreens? I prefer to just use one.
[Nova Launcher] mmeidl78:
Since the previous beta the transition (cube) isn't as smooth as it is in the market-version of prime. Every rotation seems to show a black screen first and fade to the new page on turning the cube a little further. With the market-version this "black-thing" isn't there and the transition is much smoother :-(

The second thing (was on the previous beta and it seems more crazy with the latest beta):

My Homescreen widgets (3 pages with 5x5 grid) sometimes are crazy :) When I push an empty place on a homescreen to see the widget/wallpaper/etc.-menu it finds a widget of another page (not displayed at this place) and wants to resize it or it takes a folder of another screen and pushes it to this place or something like this :(

I've tried to copy Nova back in system/app and reinstalled it etc. but I've got the same probs :( Deleting it manually in data/app and dl the first version from the market again - everything works fine...

[Nova Launcher] zipredictive:

[Nova Launcher] mmeidl78:
But the Cube-Thing stays the same? I've installed beta3 over the market-version and it's a lot more "smooth" in the market-version, cause of the fade-effect from black to visible while turning the cube.
[Nova Launcher] DJSave:
Yep in beta3 cube rotation effect isn't as smooth as 1.0.1 market version in app drawer
[Nova Launcher] jimanjr:
Found a little bug: If you have only 1 home screen (and perhaps it's related to infinite scroll on as well) the home screen disappears.

Also, a little request: Any chance of having a vertical continuous app drawer? I'm kinda used to it and I dislike the iphone-ish paginated horizontal drawer.
[Nova Launcher] solarus2011:
The update fixed the issues for me too.

I have a new bug to report, this time on my Galaxy Tab. Prior to Beta 3 when I tapped on the left or right edges of the screen it would slide to the next page, like the default launcher. The left "tap to slide" movement still works and the first time I tap on the right side of the screen it will work too. However after the first tap on the right side, the right side "tap to slide" stops working; only left "tap to slide" works. I'm using CM9.

EDIT:

I've done some further testing of all of the scroll effects. Some work, some don't - they are outlined as follows:

1) None: Works correctly

2) Cube: Both left and right "tap to slide" stop working after a couple of taps.

3) Card Stack: Right tap to slide stops working once left "tap to slide" is used.

4) Tablet: Both left and right "tap to slide" stop working after a couple of taps.

5) Revolving Door: Both left and right "tap to slide" stop working after a couple of taps.

6) Flip: Works correctly

7) Flip Vertical: Works correctly

8) In and Out: Right tap to slide stops working once left "tap to slide" is used.

9) Accordion: Both left and right "tap to slide" stop working after a couple of taps.

[Nova Launcher] demarcmj:
Kevin, it looks like you're gonna need to change the "Market" option in the app drawer to say "Play Store" because of this stupid new rename of the Android Market

Beta update doesn't work for me. Shows the versions of the Market. I installed the updates manually.

Why?

[Nova Launcher] demarcmj:
You need to click on the vertical "..." button and press "Beta" for it to recognize Beta versions. Right now it's calling you a "Time Traveler" because you have manually installed a version higher than the "current" version. If you select beta, then it will tell you that you're up to date.

Having a bit of a problem...

I flashed a new ROM today, went to market, installed NOVA gave it ROOT access, tested if widget thing worked, it did.

Restored my backup i made a few days ago, and it made everything good except the widget was pretty much useless. If i tapped the WIDGETS tab, it brought up a sign with all the widgets, and i could not swipe left to get to it either.

any idea?
[Nova Launcher] kravguy:
Something you might wanna go ahead and do in the next release, change the app drawer market link to say Play Store to match the latest change. I just updated mine and was like, wth happened to my market shortcut :-)

For those who don't know how to update, easiest way is to clear market data, open up google music and hit the market icon at the bottom.. Oops, I meant Play Store icon. It's version 3.4.6 btw.

[Nova Launcher] macroman8807:
First off I wanna say the launcher is great I love it. I wish to request a feature though, I notice in widgetlocker selecting the wallpaper was different then the launchers method cuz it let u select a screen size portion rather than the little box that supposed to go across each screen, I understand the wall paper has to be in a box shape to accommodate for scrolling but if u want a fixed wall paper it would be nice to be able to crop the picture just like widget locker does. Please consider adding that feature to an update for the prime version I'm sure more ppl would pay for it cuz no one else has that

Any new for folders in app drawer?
[Nova Launcher] kravguy:
Maybe I'm missing something, but why so much demand for app drawer tweaks like folders? I've used apps like folder organizer or simifolder for like ever. I rarely even go to the app drawer. Just curious if maybe im missing something.

Sent from my Inspire 4G
[Nova Launcher] iJohnny:
I like when my app drawer is organized.

Folders like: games, social, system, visual.. etc.

I don't set apps to folders, only apps I use the most because I can find and run them fast.
[Nova Launcher] djsolidsnake86:
add miui icon support please
[Nova Launcher] kravguy:
That's exactly what I do, except I don't use the app drawer for that. I've just always used something like folder organizer cause it makes things easier for me. Plus, by using labels for apps instead of folders, I can have apps show up in more than one folder. Everything is still grouped, including an other folder that automatically contains apps not labeled. I still get to all my apps with two clicks. I suppose the only thing that may be an issue is that the look of the folders isn't quite the same as whatever launcher I'm running but I can make them pretty darn close. I set my middle dock button to open my main folder (which has all the sub folders, ie social, games, etc) and then the gesture up to open just my favorites folder. Been working well for me since I was using launcher pro way back when. Plus, with every different launcher, I don't have to redo my folders.

Sorry to get of track here. Just for me personally, there's other features that could be added that I don't have any other way to get and of course any updates to improve performance is a plus. App drawer stuff just seemed kinda low but I see so many people requesting that I had know why. No disrespect. Everyone's different.

Fixed tablet margin tap to switch pages

Detailed feedback like this is awesome. Thank you. Fixed.
[Nova Launcher] motomart:
The only reason I installed custom launcher is because I wasn't able to align the icons to the edge of the screen, left and right. With the release of 1.02 beta this is not possible in Nova anymore. Is it a bug or 'feature'? I hate to se the icons and widgets piled up at the center of the screen.
[Nova Launcher] Staggers:
Have you tried going into Nova Settings > Desktop > Width Margin and setting the value as 'None'?
[Nova Launcher] ^Fs:
I'm having issues on my tablet in landscape.

See below screenshot of remnant widgets in margins from adjacent homescreens.

EDIT: Also, it seems that there are refresh problems in the app drawer with the defaulted 'My Apps' filter (I have prime license key). Newly downloaded applications are not alphabetized automatically and appear after the last app. You have to switch from 'My Apps' to 'All' and back again in order for it to sort properly.
[Nova Launcher] SwiftLegend:
Can Nova become compatible with MultiPicture Wallpaper? The wallpapers are all screwed up, showing up as cubes with one side the wallpaper I want and the other all black. Only reason why this isn't my daily driver :( (and I bought Prime or w/e it's called)
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Have you tried adjusting the wallpaper scrolling behavior at all?? Outside of toying around with the launcher settings, I don't see this issue being addressed any time soon, but who knows... My best suggestion would be to start a new topic about it in the User Voice thread (see OP for link), and see if others would like support added as well. :)

MutliPicture is writtenfor Android 2.x, not 4.0.3. But it will work if you enable it's setting for Ignore Vertical Offsets. It didn't seem the dev was very interested in changing the defaults, but hopefully after 4.0.3 itself as well as Nova are more popular he changes his mind.

Samsung "Active applications" widget

Hi Kevin, thanks for your great work!

I've a little problem with Nova Launcher (1.02beta4 but even on previous 1.01) running on a Samsung Galaxy S2 with WanamLite V9.1 LPH [4.0.3] using the Samsung "Active applications" widget: the number of programs running in background is locked to the actual number there is when you activate the widget and it never changes opening/colosin apps; the same number isn't placed correctly inside the widget as you can see from the attached screenshot.

The widget runs correctly if I launch it from the original Samsung TWLauncher, have you got any idea why it behaves like this on Nova?

Thanks in advance!
