I've got a number of folders I've created in my app drawer. I drag these folders onto my home screen. If I drag an app from the home screen into one of these folders, it doesn't remove/hide the app from the app drawer, which it's supposed too.

If I open the folder on the home screen and select the three dots and then edit and the manually select which apps should appear in the folder, they are then hidden from the dock.

Is this a bug? Can anyone else replicate this?

There all copies of the stock ICS launcher, and they all have different features and settings, if you want to get technical

Buzz launcher is okay, but I don't think it's gonna go to far, only gud thing about buzz to me is the theming, but nova is neck and neck

What needs to be done, is a launcher, that does not follow the same guide lines as previous launched before, but a game changer, to take android and the end less possibilities to the next level

Like this old launcher...

Gotta find the app first, I have I somewhere

Home Screen on Unlock

Hi.

Before I start I'm a bit of a noob with Android and a complete noob with my phone (new) and Nova Launcher. :confused:

I have a Motorola Razr i with stock 4.1.2 and I'm using Nova Launcher Prime v2.2. I seem to have got most things set as I want them but the one thing I can't sort is how to get the phone to go the main home screen when I unlock the phone. It just goes straight to the last screen I was using. Is there any way I can make the phone open on the main (green ticked) screen when it is unlocked?

Any help appreciated. Cheers - Andy
[Nova Launcher] adriannxda:
You can use Widgetlocker for that option. There's no such option in Nova Launcher, as far as I know.
[Nova Launcher] Ydnaroo:
OK. Thanks for that. Seems a bit odd to me that what (in my limited experience) is normal launcher behaviour is not implemented by Nova but there you go.

Thanks again - Andy

It looks like there is such an option. I haven't noticed it before. Nova settings - drawer - advanced - remember position. Uncheck it. Sorry for misleading you.
[Nova Launcher] Ydnaroo:
Thanks for that. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to make any difference on my setup. Set or not set the behaviour seems to be the same. :confused: I've tried restarting NL after changing the setting but still no joy.

Thanks anyway - Andy

Edit: Updated to 2.2.1beta2 and still no joy.
[Nova Launcher] hopscotchjunkie:
That setting is for the app drawer, not the home screen (it will remember your position in the drawer when you re-enter). I don't think there's a way to get the behaviour you want in the launcher settings.
[Nova Launcher] Ydnaroo:
OK. Thanks. It's not a big problem, I can put up with it not going back to the main home screen. I'm not even sure that the standard Razr i launcher went back to the home screen now?! I know my past Android phones did. :confused:

Cheers anyway - Andy

[Nova Launcher] jackburnt:
I've searched but haven't found anyone with a fix for these issues yet:

1) The names of my folders won't update in the app drawer. For example, I have a folder called "Android Security" in a folder called "Android." I renamed "Android Security" to "Security." It reflects the change in the configuration part, but when I select the folder within the app drawer, it still says "Android Security."

2) I will often lose the folder icon for folders within the app drawer. It's just the android green guy instead of 4 little app icons. Please see screenshot.

3) Sometimes my wallpaper will cut off at the top and bottom. Happens randomly.

All the above are livable, but I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered them. If I can gather more info, please let me know as alogcat doesn't produce anything (or I'm too ignorant to know how to gather the relevant info).

My phone: Samsung Galaxy S4. Happens on CM 4.2.2 official, CM 4.3 unofficial, Liquid 2.9. Custom icons: Glasklart by Kxnt.
[Nova Launcher] oae08:
Yeah its consuming more RAM as well. But how to get rid of the redraws, i have aggressive desktop on and it still does that now.
[Nova Launcher] killchain:
It's still the same with 2.2.1 beta 2. For the sake of being clear, let me illustrate this with screenshots:

8 rows on both, the only difference is columns - 7 on the first shot, 8 on the second.

My conclusion is that setting 7 columns (and no matter how many rows) breaks something, hence these 2-3 pixels on each side of the widget's background.

By the way, is there an official bug tracker of some sort or it's all this topic and e-mails to Kevin?

P.S. Vertical drawer scrolling feels somehow laggy compared to how it was in 2.2.1 beta 1

I've encountered a small bug. I'm running the latest beta on both my Galaxy S3 and Nexus 7. On both devices when I try to change the folder background to a custom icon from an icon pack I am unable to. After choosing the icon when I return to the menu it is still the same stock selection. The icon themes are from stealthychief.

Edit: on the S3 it just hangs on the icon selected. The gray box highlights the icon but nothing happens, Nova stalls.

Is there a way to make status bar gradient transparency like in SG4 (or to make one for SG4 users)?

Thnx!
[Nova Launcher] fideliofidelio:
Hello,

It seems to me that Nova launcher is not displaying correctly the app drawer content (apps icons and widgets) on 4:3 aspect ratio devices.

Notice the excessive gap on both sides of the screen. I think the cyan line of app drawer menu should be touching both sides of the screen like Android stock launcher.

Tested this with similar launchers and had no problem. Here are some screenshots.

Awesome launcher. Cheers.

Homescreen folder icon sorting

Hi Devs,

I just encountered an annoying bug in Nova Launcher Prime 2.2. Everytime I perform a reboot or restart Nova Launcher, icons inside homescreen folders get desorted. I have to sort again the icons to my liking. Sometimes recently added icons are missing that I have to readd the again. This happened to both my Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 after upgrading to Android 4.3. Seems an incompatibility with the latest Android.

Hope this gets fixed soon. Kudos to a wonderful app.
[Nova Launcher] yhrn:
Nope, I see the same on Android 4.1. However I believe there is already a fix for this in the latest beta (see below) so if you, like me, are using the latest stable version we will probably see this issue fixed fairly soon.

If you're so concerned about free ram (and you shouldn't be), why not simply run the default launcher? This is not Windows, Android/Linux handle ram differently.

This wallpaper 'jump' still happens. I know my configuration isn't stock, but I'd be happy to provide any details needed to iron out that bug.

This is also still the same - little or nothing has changed in the icon picker since I wrote this. I'll try to formulate it as simple as possible.

Steps to reproduce:

Apply an icon pack

Change a homescreen's folder icon, choosing an installed app's icon ('Built-in' tab, 'APP ICON' section)

Expected result: apply chosen app's icon from currently applied icon pack.

What actually happens: default (stock) icon for chosen app is applied.

P.S. If I could add a feature request to that - it would be great if one could search for an icon (in a pack) by filename - some packs contain thousands of icons and it's a bit of a tedious work to flick up and down staring for the icon you need.

When the 2.1 update installed, widgets linked to direct dial changed behavior. Previously I would tap the widget and the phone would simply dial the number, but now when I tap the widget I get a dialer screen with the number entered and ready to dial - I have to tap the "dial" button on the dialer to complete the call. The same behavior persisted with the 2.2 update. It's not a big deal - it's just one more tap to complete the call - but it struck me as odd. Has anyone else noticed anything like this?

I'm not complaining, by the way - I've tried a few different launchers, and Nova is definitely the one that works best for me.
[Nova Launcher] mrdoug:
Weird. I usually don't use direct dial, but I went and tested it. It worked perfect for me on the latest Nova release. Dialed the number upon clicking the button.

Bloatware likely is at fault. Find the image, and you'll be able to find and disable the app which is inserting it in your screensaver. The image is a hidden file, however, and buried in the system directories, so you need to install a 3rd-party app like File Expert that aggregates all images in a pseudo folder, then run a search for the file name.
