default wallpaper

I searched this thread and couldn't find the answer, but is there a way to return to the default wallpaper? The one that gets used when you first install Nova Prime?

The hide time function would be something simple to implement in comparison to your request if it is even possible for an app to do. Do you think it is that simple for a user app to radically modify a system file to change layout styles? If it were that simple PA wouldn't exist. :rolleyes:

Re: [APP 4.0+] Nova Launcher - 2.0.1beta8 Feb 21 2013

I'm running the latest beta and have a problem with icons remaining on the dock after deletion. I need to relaunch Nova to lose them.

On a related note: a request to be able to long press on the dock to add an icon, rather than having to create it on the desktop and moving it. Thx.

Preference backup for fresh rom

Hi guys! just did a search in this big thread but cannot seem to find what i'm looking for... Maybe one of you can help me... i'm building a rom right now for a chinese tablet and i want to use Nova launcher as the main launcher. My idea is make a good visual layout with some icons and widget on every pages. i found a way by playing in XML files but that is gonna be very long to do. Is there any way to build my pages the way i want them, make a preference backup, after that, use the file in sdcard/data/com.teslacoilsw.launcher/backup/mybackup.novabackup and integrated in my rom. Or maybe another way via Titanium backup... ???

Any help appreciated!!!

Thanks a lot

I've searched the thread and haven't found a satisfactory answer, I've been uusing nova launcher since it's and never had a problem with it. When I switch or update ROMs and do a restore all I get is little green android icons, they still work though. If i go back to an older backup from October 2012 the icons show up just fine. But I have since the changed my configuration. How do Ifix this? let me know if there is more pertinent information I should provide.

It depends the configuration of your phone. I tried both and Nova rant a little better (faster/smoother) on my phone than Apex.

Honestly, that is up to the user. Nova works great for me. I paid for it and this has been the only launcher I have used. But you may feel different. The choice is yours to make. There is a free version. Try it and find out for yourself.

Re: [APP 4.0+] Nova Launcher - 2.0.1beta8 Feb 21 2013

hi Kevin.

I've been noticing recently that there is relatively long pause when using the home button. it's not much but it is obvious when using home lots as one does. thought it might be my rom, but I've just installed another lighter launcher, and the delay is definitely less.

not a big issue i realise but would be better without it :)

i think it has been there for these beta versions at least.

thanks

I'm having a lot of issues with this launcher. The gestures for up, down, an double tap do not work. Up sometimes does what I have equipped to my down gesture and vice versa. Also, nothing happens at all sometimes with up and down. Double tap incrementally stops working and I have to go to settings to reset it to work. Running PA on Nexus 4. I've tried reinstalling but to no avail.
[Nova Launcher] killchain:
Now that's a quote.

Never had problems with gestures. All of them seem to work, it's only Pinch Out, for example, that's a bit harder to perform. Even if I personally feel gestures to be a bit on the non-sensitive side, they all register correctly for me.

This might be a PA specific issue, but I've run it for a while and I can't recall of any issues.

Just wondering unless i missed it... I have been running nova ever since it has come out and absolutely love it. I am still running an older version which i also have prime installed with it. Now my question is that are the available apks thats posted on here for version 2.0 stable as well as the beta version, are those the fully unlocked nova versions or does prime still need to be installed with those to make them fully unlocked to get all the features? I hope that all makes sense. I might have missed that in the OP but if someone could clear this up i would appreciate it. Thanks

Strange widget problem.

I currently write a small widget and now have a strange problem.

I placed several widget instances of my widget on different homescreens for testing. Maybe that sometimes the process of my widget crashed or something, at least I have reinstalled the apk of my widget several times. The problem I now have is that I have removed all instances of my widget from all homescreens but if I call AppWidgetManager.getAppWidgetIds() in my AppWidgetProvider I still get 5 widget Ids as a result. I expected no result at all.

Is this a problem that Nova thinks it still have these 5 widgets somewhere on a homescreen? How can I get rid of them?

PS: In fact at first there were 8 widget ids left. After trying to restart Nova launcher I got APPWIDGET_DELETED Intent for three of them but I can't get rid of the last 5 Ids. Even a reboot does not help.

Any ideas other than deleting Nova Launcher data?

BTW: I'm using 2.0.1beta9

I have noticed on Nova Launcher (latest non-beta version free) that some icons are significantly larger than others.

(screenshot attached - the apps in the middle column are noticeably bigger than the others)

I am new to Android and installed Nova Launcher as almost one of my first apps so I am not sure if this is an Android thing, a Nova thing or just the fault of the app developer? It seems to be about 50/50 with big and small icons though.

I know the paid version has icon resize options but not sure if this has anything to do with it or might be able to fix the problem? I just want my icons to not look like some are on steroids!

Apps have their own icons as you would already know. Nova just displays them & doesn't do anything else. Since there isn't a size defined for how big should an icon be they have different sizes & there is nothing Nova can do about it. You can apply an icon pack which will theme those icons & make them looks more consistent.

beta 7 has a hard limit of 150 homescreen items in launcher.db->favorites. This causes it to "forget" items as soon as you have more than 150, but it also seems old elements aren't deleted so adding and removing items will make you reach that limit quite fast.

Very much enjoying the launcher, one question I have though. I briefly flashed the CM9 Alpha and I was able to set custom rotation degrees, so basically no matter which way I held the phone the screen would orient itself in that direction, I was wondering if this would be possible to implement at the launcher level or if it is something the Rom dev would have to implement.

8x8 or larger for ICS tablets?

Hi there,

I installed Nova Launcher on my 4G Xoom, running EOS nightlies. It installs fine and functions pretty much as i expected. It says in the OP that it should work on any device >4.0.1 i believe, so I gave it a shot. The only issue I have is that it only goes to a 7x8 grid. The stock tablet launcher does 8x8 and that fits pretty nicely. I was wondering if you could enable a grid of at least 8x8 as well. With that, I can see this being my tablet launcher of choice as well.

If you want I can post a screenshot, but at 7x7, it doesn't quite fill up enough space on the screen. The funny thing is it shows up originally at 5x4 and only takes up a small middle section of the screen. Watching the cube spin so small is fun. As you increase the grid size, it actually takes up more of the screen instead of just cramming it into the same small space.

[Nova Launcher] just4747:
Kevin, we don't mean individual widgets sometimes don't update, we mean the action of all widgets showing visual updates/changes stops overall. Like, the widgets and icon changes break and do not show until you clear cache on Nova/Force Stop it/Reboot phone. I have seen this many many times, even after wiping all data/system between ROM updates and such.

This garbled text issue shot I took (you said known issue now I know) is a good pic to use to describe the above widget update issue. For example, the volume sliders on AudioManager would not change at all even after you adjust the volume rocker buttons up or down. Another, is the power widget at top: If you click a button to activate something, the button would not change at all to show it being active. You can still click on certain widgets to "go into" them if possible, but nothing happens at homescreen level visually:
