Does anyone have a problem with duplicated icons?

If I update from 2.0.2 forward I will have this problem, tried "clear data", and it resolved momentarily, but later appeared again.

I'm on 4.1.2 (Nexus S) with prime.

Thanks in advance :) !
[Nova Launcher] mrdoug:
Uggh. I truly want to say I saw that, too. Unfortunately, the folder issue was so prominent, I saw it and quickly reverted to a prior install.

I'll reupdate to the newest and let you know. I have the stable version backed up, do I can safely try new iterations.

*** UPDATE ***

I reinstalled today's updated (don't have the 6/10 version). I'm not seeing any duplicate icons anywhere. I still feel like I did see that... Perhaps this is the issue they were able to fix, thus far? Sorry, wish I could have been more of a help.

How can I change the order of folders that I've created in the app drawer? Doesn't allow it from Nove Settings >> Drawer >> Drawer Groups >> Folders :confused:
[Nova Launcher] atilla88:
I think i found a bug in the newest nova launcher version.after some time my widgets freeze and don't update anymore.

For example you can use the stock media player widget to skip tracks but it stays at one track and doesn't shows the actual one.

The stock email widget does nothing anymore and the stock active applications widget is frozen too.

I have to restart nova to get them work but after some time they freeze again.

Any fix for that?

Running stock 4.2.2 MEA on I9505
[Nova Launcher] manuel_f2003:
Same for me. I restart nova 3 times today.

[Nova Launcher] Miguun:
Tried the same, it still happens :(

It is strange that it only happens with some applications.
[Nova Launcher] mrdoug:
Any Rhyme or reason... All external stored? Internally stored? Apps that cannot be moved to external storage? Figure, if we could find a common ground it might help the developer find and fix it?
[Nova Launcher] atilla88:
Same for me,

Sometimes it happens once a day and sometimes ever 20 minutes.

Its really annyoing because it makes your widgets useless.

Which device are you using?
[Nova Launcher] manuel_f2003:
Sames as you. Galaxy S4 with the same rom version.
[Nova Launcher] bogdan1980:
What version does not have double icons in folder?
[Nova Launcher] DonHuan:
Any other launcher.
[Nova Launcher] atilla88:
I guess we have to wait for a fix from the nova launcher team
[Nova Launcher] thomstrack:
There is a bug in the animation when i click in home button, The animation of the app exchange happens, instead of animation "zoom" to get back home.

Temporarily can fix this by selecting the options (window animations) "Jelly bean animations". It is in "animation system" that this "bug" appears.
[Nova Launcher] Miguun:
It was a good idea, but all the Rovio games are in external memory, and only 4 of those were duplicated.
[Nova Launcher] bogdan1980:
Find it, 2.0.2
[Nova Launcher] E46M3:
I have an S4 and using Nova Prime. Is there a way to customize gesture command to shut the screen off(sleep mode) instead of pressing the power button?
[Nova Launcher] DonHuan:
Try this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock

Set a shortcut to it in the settings of Nova.
[Nova Launcher] TadeoNYC:
I made a shortcut with Llama, and use the two finger twist like turning off a faucet. It is difficult to do by accident and is kind of fun.
[Nova Launcher] kenkiller:
No...I mean with the Popup widget app+swipe on icons/folders you can replicate the exact same functions as shutters. Imho it works even better than shutters because the widgets are totally customized. Try it....
[Nova Launcher] m.a.s.e:
My nova keep freaking crash every time i go landscape ever since i installed UCCW.

does nova does not play nice with UCCW?

it complain that i need to remove a widget or restart . after restart it works (untill i put the phone landscape mode).

anyone seen this?
[Nova Launcher] LordManhattan:
Kevin, it's possible to hide the status bar today, but would it be a lot of work to implement "auto hide status bar"? So when I pull or tap the upper screen area, the status bar will pop up. It's pretty annoying to hide it completely, since I want to check the battery level, music controls and other stuff.
[Nova Launcher] chikimonke:
If you have Prime, you can set a gesture to expand it.
[Nova Launcher] kenkiller:
How about using Smart Status bar in conjunction with the hide status bar option in Nova?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiumiu.ca.statusbar.free

Works pretty much the way u require, and works system wide, instead of just in Nova.
[Nova Launcher] oddspec:
It does work in use said app all the time with Nova and expand desktop
[Nova Launcher] LordManhattan:
That didn't even cross my mind. I got Prime and i'll check it out! Thanks :)
[Nova Launcher] john_smith:
how many aplication can manage nova, because if have all without folders on drawer, not problems, because if i irganize it, it finish with error,and cannot restore a previous backup with many aplications, and of course, if i try to change icons, after enter on drawer , past a seconds thinkin and error.this limitation on drawer not occur on others shells, i bought this because i like his drawers with folders, but at end have a limitation.

sorry for my english

one more question, can open forlders on drawer at full screen? or with a high color around, because when open a folder with a few icons, it´s can not separate from rest of drawe.

Need Help

Hi.

I am facing issue with Nova Launcher on my Samsung Galaxy N7000.

Below are the two screenshot. One on Sammy TW and other on Nova.

My question is why nova is hiding sides of my wallpaper. A big area is hidden which makes my wallpaper zoomed in (ugly).

Any idea how to correct wallpaper alignment on Nova.

Regards

Mani
[Nova Launcher] BobbaLouie:
This has been an issue for months, I've posted it here, still not fixed.
[Nova Launcher] jumpuo:
have try:)
[Nova Launcher] yurikbtan:
I am having the exact same problem. Quite annoying. My temporary solution is doing a nova restore after every reboot...

Does anybody have a more permanent solution :cyclops:
[Nova Launcher] mrdoug:
Other than moving all folder items to internal memory... I don't think so. :mad:

I only installed this a week or two ago. Was already wanting to update to paid version. I'm in turmoil now. Does anyone using this have any inclination as to whether issues like this get resolved? Quickly?

My Other thought is "the squeaky wheel gets the grease". I posted a feature request for this. If we add votes perhaps it will get seen and addressed.

[Nova Launcher] LordManhattan:
Same here. I just moved the apps back to the internal storage. That might not work for you though, depending on the size of your internal storage, or other things.
[Nova Launcher] tdimarzio:
I am having the exact same problem. Moving apps back to internal is not an option - not enough space. I too have been restoring a Nova backup on every boot but that's a PITA. Hoping this gets fixed soon. In the meantime I may go back to the previous version. :(

Noval launcher back button issue reverts to stock launcher

Hi,

I have an intermittent issue with my HTC One stock 4.1.2 and Nova Launcher Prime 2.1.1, sometimes when I'm browsing the apps while using the Back Button it will return to Sense stock launcher instead of Nova Launcher.

Tough the Nova Launcher is the default launcher set in Nova settings. The Home button always takes or revert to Nova launcher.

The issue seem intermittent but it happens quite often .

Anyone else noticed this issue ?
[Nova Launcher] scottjb:
I have seen this in the past but cannot duplicate it. A restart of the phone usually made it go away. It usually happened after I used the stock launcher for a while, then switched back to Nova.
[Nova Launcher] The Root:
Can you delete the sense launcher? That's what we do in samsung land with touchwiz
[Nova Launcher] dinoc:
I'm not willing to be so radical for now as I'm expecting the 4.2.2 OTA update, it might impact the upgrade deleting that.
[Nova Launcher] ccav2000:
Confirming the same here, noticed recently after the latest update.
[Nova Launcher] HaPe1968:
for the people with problems with Apps on ExtSD: What happens if you wait i.E. 1min before entering the Sim-PIN after restart to let the SD card integrate to the system?
[Nova Launcher] ccav2000:
Nothing, SIM PIN is disabled in my case. That's NOT a solution, merely a workaround that shouldn't be needed. Doesn't happen in other launchers either.
[Nova Launcher] mrdoug:
Nor the previous version of this launcher. I'd think they should be able to fix it somewhat easily, being it worked in the last version. Just need to make sure they know about it. Obviously they visit this forum, as well as their own feature request site. Hopefully we're covered. :)
[Nova Launcher] SJMarty:
I'm running Nova Launcher Prime on a rooted LG Optimus L9. I am also running Folder Organizer. Android is v4.1.2.

I have the Icon Size in Nova set to 130%. All of the icons on my home screen are properly zoomed to 130% except the Folder Organizer Links. They stay at the standard size no matter what the Icon Size in Nova is set to. They are also top-justified within their individual grid so it looks even worse because there is much more space below the icon than above it.

Has anyone else seen this behavior or is this a known issue?
[Nova Launcher] kazmiwajahat:
Its the best launcher in the market!!
[Nova Launcher] ylexot:
Just freeze it with Titanium Backup. When the update comes, unfreeze it.
[Nova Launcher] m.a.s.e:
Two things I absolutely hate with nova. Ever since I installed uccw nova keep crashing and asking me to remove a widget.... reboot fix the issue. And the annoying screen locked popup. I have overlayed widgets and every time I touch my screen that annoying popup come up. Why can't they do it like apex where the lock screen in menu key. Ps I have sent the devs an email asking one question compared to apex. They almost chewed my head off for daring to compare to apex. Lol . I have a full license for both... Do the devs read this thread ? Out of curiousity. Other then that it's a great launcher.
[Nova Launcher] xloupas:
nice will try it thank you :good:
[Nova Launcher] Cor-master:
Just switched from trebuchet to nova on my nexus 7, and I gotta ask, why didn't any of my desktop icon labels copy over?
[Nova Launcher] wolfboy1984:
Has this issue been noticed already?? It was introduced recently.

Previously when adding this icon it was ok. Now it is not and results in the border. The image hasn't changed...
[Nova Launcher] danielzyy:
Hey guys, my wallpaper is pretty much white, and its hard to read the apps name in the app drawer, is there any way to change the font color ?

When I set less transparency for the drawer, this happens (attached)

As you can see, the drawer takes the transparency settings of the actual launcher, and its ugly.
[Nova Launcher] ToMeRv32:
Can't add trickster mod shortcuts (one of the latest updates fixed the other apps shortcuts).

I get an error: app isn't installed.

On apex launcher it works.

(I considered to switch to apex but I missed few great thing in Nova, it's just feels better. Great job.)

------

I saw tablet scroll effect on apex (free) and it was really nice.

Can you consider adding this one to the free version?

How to implement on Nova Launcher?
[Nova Launcher] lanwarrior:
This has been asked AT LEAST one time before, but the developer did not implement this.

This is the ONE reason why I ditched Nova Launcher. I have 100+ applications (built-in and downloaded from Play Store) and have to group the application into specific folders. However, I CANNOT re-arrange the folder, which makes it hard for me to use the app drawer properly.

What is even worse, the apps itself CANNOT be re-arranged INSIDE the folder.

Heck, even Samsung TouchWiz ALLOWS re-order of the folders AND apps within the folder.

---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 PM ----------

For 1st question - I do not think this kind of issue get resolved quickly. Look a few post before this one and somebody posted that when he emailed the developer, the developer got pissed off and "...almost chewed [his] head off...".

So yeah, you be the judge - slow updated, pissy developer.
[Nova Launcher] ylexot:
Huh? I have no problem re-arranging apps inside a folder.
[Nova Launcher] lanwarrior:
I can sort, but not customized it according to my liking. If there is a feature, how do I do this?
[Nova Launcher] buggz2k:
Hello,

PLEASE add the ability to have app drawer wallpaper background.

Thanks!
[Nova Launcher] ylexot:
Press and hold an icon, then move it wherever you want.
[Nova Launcher] lanwarrior:
If I tried this while the folder is open, the icon can only be placed onto the home screen.

If I click on "Edit", I can't do anything when pressing and holding thw icon.
[Nova Launcher] Madala_ZA:
Imo Nova is the best launcher available. Calling anyone at Nova, please add ability to re-order folders in app drawer! Would make Nova even more supreme :cool:

How to disable Vibrate on App Drawer Button?

how can I disable the anoying vibrations when i click the app drawer button?

Sincerely I find it very strange that you can not turn off, any application of this type permits, and Nova is certainly not poor in options and settings ...

Is it possible that it was never intended by the developers?

thanks
[Nova Launcher] ylexot:
Put the folder on a home screen and then move stuff around. That will change the order of the folder inside the app drawer.
[Nova Launcher] lanwarrior:
I was wondering about this also since it affects battery life. Vibration use a lot of battery.

---------- Post added at 01:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 PM ----------

Oh, that I know... :D

I was referring to reordering the app inside the Folder that is INSIDE the Ap DRAWER.
[Nova Launcher] ylexot:
Yeah, move the folder to a home screen and reorder it however you want. THAT WILL CHANGE THE ORDER OF THE APPS INSIDE THE FOLDER INSIDE THE APP DRAWER.
[Nova Launcher] lanwarrior:
Really?! I thought the folder in the Home screen is INDEPENDENT of the one INSIDE the App Drawer, because I can change it around. I'll give it a shoot.
[Nova Launcher] iHighEnd:
Cool rotation effects in that app.
[Nova Launcher] scottjb:
I don't think there are any settings in Nova relating to vibration. Isn't that typically controlled by the ROM? I turned of vibrations in my ROM settings and Nova never causes a vibrate to happen.
[Nova Launcher] lanwarrior:
It can be controlled by app. I use Car Home Ultra app and I can control the vibration using the app setting.
[Nova Launcher] pairustwo:
Options for slider icons?

I've downloaded and installed several icon packs. I've been able to get Nova to use these icons packs as the default system icons but I can't seem to access them when setting icons for the lock screen sliders.

I am able to set up eight(!) slider targets, assign them apps,and change the icons from the app default. The problem is that I'd like some additional choices about what icons to use. When changing the icon i am asked to select between system and gallery. System always shows the same 20(?) or so icons and I can't seem to access any icons from 3rd party packages.

Any advice on how to do this?

Thanks.

Oh this is on Nova Prime, the paid version- I think that is what it is called.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Honestly, the vibration from opening the app drawer is going to cause minimal to no battery drain at all. Constant button press vibration is what *could* cause a problem, but still, unless you know your phone's setup (for power saving, performance, etc) inside out and backwards, you're never going to notice any discernable difference in battery life, with or without vibration on.

It plays such a minor role in battery consumption that worrying about it is almost a waste of time. Wallpaper color, screen brightness, and kernel settings are the main factors in battery life/drain. :thumbup:
[Nova Launcher] GuiPoM:
I just updated my Xperia Z to latest Sony 4.2.2 leaked version. It seems that sony now supports transparency for status and navigation bar. This is possible using the stock sony launcher, but using nova bars remain opaque.

I am pretty sure that you already got the request previously for Samsung, HTC, and other phones, do you think that something can be done here also to detect which property sony's launcher is used for setting bars from transparent to opaque, and vice versa ? I can provide more technical information, if required, and I can also test options. The only thing I did yet it unckecking the shadow option.
[Nova Launcher] #illidan:
Umm this is a launcher & not a lock screen app. Try WidgetLocker for your needs.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Nova Launcher] Starymari:
Also, you will only be able to use 3rd party icons if the developer of the icons you want supports that feature. For example, I can change a lock screen target to any icon from Mint Beta by Pooley or Stark by Kovdev. Only few big name icon packs support using icons as pictures.

Any like the user I quoted said, this is a launcher so either way, it has nothing to do with Nova Prime, only individual icon developers and packs.

Galaxy S4 not booting after Nova Install

Hi, I've installed Nova launcher from Play store on my Galaxy S4.

After install without doing any changes, I restarted my S4.

Now phone just shows samsung logo and does not proceed.

Its been more than 10 minutes, is this normal?

If not, how can I make my phone operational again?

Please help.
[Nova Launcher] pairustwo:
Ooops. Sorry, new ROM came with Nova. Mixed up which new setting went with which.
[Nova Launcher] californicated:

[Nova Launcher] fcasoli:
in my Note II I have not vibration, but on S3 Mini I cannot dosable in settings, for this reason I think Nova must add the option to disable vibration...
[Nova Launcher] ylexot:
Why is it up to Nova to fix a problem with your Rom?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
What you're describing is simply a difference in the two phones and the firmware they run. Even though they're made by the same company, the Note II and the S3 are wildly different devices. As the post above mine states, it's not Kevin's (or Nova's) job to replicate firmware functionality, especially when it concerns something as minute as vibration.

Also, see my post on the previous page for an explanation of why vibration doesn't have a significant effect on battery life. If you don't care about battery life, and simply find the vibration annoying, I suggest rooting your phone, and flashing a ROM that has a vibration control function.
[Nova Launcher] SJMarty:
I have had quite a different experience when dealing with the developer. When I have sent e-mail inquiries, he responds and actually does so rather quickly. I have found his responses helpful and informative. That's a lot more than can be said for other some other launcher developers I have tried to contact.

With regards to updates, I would not categorize Nova as a "slow updated" application. It was last updated on 06/12/13. In fact, as far as launchers go, there are several other paid ones that would be far ahead of Nova in the "slow updated" line.

Based on my experience with TeslaCoil's applications and support I have received from the developer, I see this is a first-class operation.
[Nova Launcher] mrdoug:
I'm quite new to Nova, so this is good to hear. I did email re the folder bug, but for no response. None is really needed, as long as they know. From your experience, I'd imagine they are probably working on a repair. This is definitely comforting. :)
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Possibly the least useful post I've seen in a while. On the subject of your first response - folder organization - if you can't live with the fairly comprehensive folder management system that Nova has, then use another launcher... End of story.

To your second assertion that Kevin is a poor developer, who treats his users poorly - gtfo of here. I've been using Nova, and being active in this thread since it was in alpha, and Kevin has always treated users with respect. He's also been very consistent with his updates - he updates when one is needed, and doesn't try to fix what's not broken.

We've seen Kevin become less active in the thread as the app has grown in popularity, because that popularity had brought a slew of ignorant users to the forums, who don't take time to explore the launcher's features before asking idiotic questions, and don't provide proper logs and information, when they're trying to submit a bug report.

Kevin is one guy, with two incredibly popular apps (Nova and WidgetLocker)... Teslacoil is NOT a company with an HR or troubleshooting hotline either - it's simply a name under which Kevin distributes his apps. People need to realize that, and stop treating Kevin like he works for them...

People also need to stop with the "if only Nova this or that feature from this other launcher, it would be perfect" posts. Here's the reality guys - Launchers are closed source. Developers do this in order to protect their unique features from piracy, and to ensure that WE (the users) get fair compensation for the money we spend too purchase their app.

Developers also have different opinions on what their app should be... Did anyone ever consider that Kevin doesn't WANT to copy features from Go, Apex, or Action Launchers? Maybe he hates their features... Maybe he actually has a life outside of app development. Whatever his reasoning, WE (as a community) need to back off, and let him do his thing... Stop complaining about crap, stop asking for stupid features from other launchers, and stop blaming Kevin for moronic user errors or firmware deficiencies. Enjoy the launcher (that NONE OF YOU could create by the way), and move on with your lives.

My devices are rooted, since the first day I have...

I'm using unofficial ROM, from SamMobile, are Samsung in all, but in advance respect the official release..

The problem cannot be solved using a special ROM, because it is a small job to add a feature in Nova...

Note the same problem was present ins Acer Gallant Duo, so you can understant the way is to disable via NOVA.

This is the reason I'm using TouchWiz on my S3 Mini instead of NOVA :crying:

[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Again, that issue must be specific to the Samsung-based ROM you're running. I have a Galaxy Nexus with a ROM that doesn't support vibration customization, but my Acer A500 and my Samsung Galaxy Tab (both running CM) DO have that option available. I run Nova on all three devices, and I can confirm that disabling vibration DOES work...it just has to be built into the ROM. Sure, Nova could handle it, but if Kevin doesn't care about that feature, then you're going to have to switch ROMs in order to get the functionality you want. See screenshots below for a glimpse of the CM vibration feature. :)
[Nova Launcher] fcasoli:
Again, Samsung is the bigger producer of Android phones, I suppose...

The market makes the rules, Samsung is the market leader, whether we like it or not.

Better to add a line of program and make happy many potential customers.
