First: Stable is not stable (for me), infact the latest beta is only a bugfix for "stable" version.

So even if i can go back to stable, widgets preview keeps disappearing from widget drawer, even with latest beta3 that should contain the fix.

Second: he done it for free? I pay 3,99 euro for nova prime it doesn't seems to be free.

Third: I ask only if is there some information on new development (in first place for bug fixing) or is there some problems that prevents the developing program (or fixing program).

I don't want any new function neither fancy animation bla bla bla.

I'd like only some informations and 1 single information within 30 days doesn't seems an absurd request.

OK guys lets calm down. The Dev will post when he is good and ready. Not before. He is not obligated to do anything at all. He ciuldnleave the app as is and never touch it again and that would be his right

Apex launcher is better in every way. Smoother, m9re options, all themes and icon packs work on apex unlike nova. I ask the themers and devs they tell me this is a nova issue. Last but not least apex have better feedback and support. Unfortunately had to pay 5$ for nova to find out :confused:

Re: [APP 4.0+] Nova Launcher - 2.0.1beta3 Jan 11 2013

Not on my phone. Quit the opposite. I tried apex and it ran not nearly as smooth as Nova does. I have yet find a single issue with Nova on my phone. Only thing there was I had a couple of home screen redraws but checking "aggressive desktop" took care of that.

Considered that Nova is lighter and uses less ram compared to Apex.

Nova is the clear winner for me when it comes to launchers. Haven't found a better one yet...

Re: [APP 4.0+] Nova Launcher - 2.0.1beta3 Jan 11 2013

Have you tried installing icon packs from the playstore? Every icon pack is not compatible with nova. And if compatible it will display some wierd stuff like either not all the icons are replaced properly or either there is a background behind the icons. I email the themers and devs and they tell me this is only a nova issue.

Problem: when I drag the Bookmarks Widget onto an empty screen panel

Question: when I install Nova, what happens to the stock launcher? Is it also running in the background? If so, is there a way to completely turn it off?

Thx

Re: [APP 4.0+] Nova Launcher - 2.0.1beta3 Jan 11 2013

Regarding your problem, have you tried beta? You can choose to download beta when you open "check for updates" tap on three dots in top right corner of that window.

You can swipe stock launcher out of RAM from the list of recent apps. You can also open settings->apps->running, and close it from there.

Re: [APP 4.0+] Nova Launcher - 2.0.1beta3 Jan 11 2013

I have no idea what themes you're talking about but I LOVE Nova! I love the way it themes my multitude of icon packs. I switched from Apex to Nova because when the option to change your icon size became available and the icons didn't change in my app drawer, the dev from Apex told me to not change my icons size. Really?! There are a bunch of themes from Sammyycakes, Pooley, BBB, kovdev, dcomobile, Photox Designs and many more! I'm shocked to hear you say they don't work . As far as theme chooser, I don't know but for icon packs, you need to look in the store. It bugs me that your trashing Nova cuz of that....

Well maybe the guy is a little right. I have minimal MIUI theme icon pack installed from playstore and it gives me a weird background for the unthemed icons. When i emailed the dev he replied to me with this:

Anyways maybe its something between this specific icon pack and nova launcher.

Also when using icon packs made by stealthy chief (will windham), i had some trouble with some apps not changing their icon even though they are included in the icon pack and when i send him he also replied that there is a small problem with nova linking apps but he will try to make it work in an update.

Anyways other than that, nova is great and all is smooth and fast ;)

Re: [APP 4.0+] Nova Launcher - 2.0.1beta3 Jan 11 2013

This thread has become disappointingly bad. Between the whining, asinine and misplaced feature requests, GO and Apex trolls, and other squabbles, the thread has become an unreadable, non- informative mess (the worst I've seen).

I've been using Nova exclusively, since it's alpha phase, and I have to say that while I'm glad so many people enjoy the end product, I'm disappointed that we (as a community in general) can't conduct ourselves in a less childish manner. I guess this kind of behavior is to be expected in an app thread though... :(

Personally, I wish all of you guys the best, and I wish continued success for Kevin, but I'm done here. If people (myself included) can't act right, then there's no other option than to bow out, and spend time in other, more civilized threads. Best wishes everyone... Keep on "keeping it real".
[Nova Launcher] kinfauns:
Stay on topic

I considered cleaning up the thread here because of a few entirely unhelpful posts. I ultimately decided not to do that because I'd also need to take down some other informative posts in the process. That would probably been more harmful than the good it could have done.

The purpose of the thread is to provide feedback and suggestions regarding the app in question. It's fine to have a differing opinion and offer constructive criticism, but if your only purpose is to throw a bunch of negativity around, take it somewhere else. To everyone else, keep in mind what zelendel suggested above and do your best to ignore those kinds of posts. Let's keep the thread on topic.
[Nova Launcher] eric.morand:
I understand this but this is nonetheless looking ugly and behaves differently from the stock launcher. I'll try and compare the layouts of both launchers and post my results, I'm sure something is wrong in the way Nova layout the widgets when the search bar is visible.

Re: [APP 4.0+] Nova Launcher - 2.0.1beta3 Jan 11 2013

Just a minor issue to report. When using PA in tablet ui a long press on the recents button is meant to activate the menu. It works on stock, ADW and Apex but on Nova I just get the haptic feedback and no menu.

Would love it if this would work as Nova is my go to launcher but I use the menu button a lot.

Widget scrolling cache - please increase it.

Kevin, please will you increase the widget image async cache and also the widget image cache in the next beta. I use Android Pro Widgets and scrolling is slightly choppy/jerky. I reckon a 25% increase in the cache size is all that's needed for smoother widget scrolling.

Its better than it was before you tweaked this last time but just needs a little bit more.

Thanks and keep up the great work. :good:

Some strange behaviour on my new Nexus 4 that I never observed on my old HTC Desire S:

I have my apps organised in three tabs, General, Utilities and Navigation. I can flick through the tabs from left to right very smoothly. However, switching tabs from right back to the left is often "interrupted". Sometimes I have to flick two or three times before anything happens. I already deleted the settings and configured everything from scratch, no dice.

Same config on Apex works flawlessly.

AOKP M1B3 or stock 4.2.1, same result. Any ideas? N4 should be powerful enough for Nova, shouldn't it? ;)

I'm on the latest beta, same result as latest stable from the play store.

Really don't think that's a nova issue, (icons not replaced properly) it's that the devs of the icons haven't themed them, for whatever reason...I've received responses from the devs of the icons as to why some aren't themed, but in the next update they are fixed.

I could be using launcher pro and still get the background behind icons or not replaced.

Re: [APP 4.0+] Nova Launcher - 2.0.1beta3 Jan 11 2013

IIRC, you can't. If you have the Home key set to the default page, you can see which dock page is the default and add icons accordingly. At least that's what I had to do. If there's an easier way, I'd love to know too.

you can even use theme for Apex : working fine about icons

or even CM10 theme if you are rooted

try to clear the cache or uninstall and then reinstall Nova

Guys to be honest I don't think stating bugs from CM based roms is really fair. The app is made to work with standard android coding but CM changes the coding ALOT from the base aosp code causing issues that others on stock roms do not see. Before we post bugs we should try and make sure it is not something to do with the way CM is handling it.

First of all its a LAB option & so it should be considered like a beta feature. Secondly I don't think the settings affects the clock when you aren't in Nova but I could be wrong as the 'Always' check box does imply otherwise

One is 1Weather & the other is cLock which is the CM created widget.

Very true.

Suggestion: the Motorola Blur launcher, at least in Gingerbread, has the option to have three distinct home screen configurations. Each one can have its own wallpaper, widgets, icon layout, and I would imagine if Nova copied the feature, each could have its own gesture, transition, and dock settings as well. I just think it would be cool to have, and in Widget Locker as well. Basically to have a home layout and a work layout.
