1. It is not essential, 2. I have only seen apps be able to change fonts that are already in the OS examples being Roboto , Roboto Bold, Roboto Italic, Roboto Italic Condensed, etc. 3. This is not a request thread, the dev has not even looked at this thread in over 3+ years, 4. XDA is a developer's forum, meaning such requests should be done by user as they should have the know how to do it, or the user should read the op before posting requests as their instructions on where and how to make requests. I'm not saying the dev won't do it in a future release, but you are the only person in 5 years I have seen ask for this, and when nova updated to the fugly material design and people went crazy not a single thing was done on the dev's side. So I wouldn't get your hopes up...

[Nova Launcher] Technical:
I've reinstalled an app several months I've tested it for the first time.

But Nova put it in the same tab into the drawer, i.e., Nova is keeping a cache on which drawer tab the app was moved into.

Is there a way to clean it up and let all the "new" app be on the new tab for apps?

Could some please make this icon pack compatible with Nova Launcher , thanks so much :)
[Nova Launcher] marcran75:
An icon pack in apk form should install on any phone. Looks to me like a bad download because I got "problem parsing package" after I downloaded it. Not to mention that I'm pretty certain that an icon pack should be larger than 153kb.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Can you link to the source of this icon pack? As stated the file is definitely corrupt.

Probably found a bug?:

Set Dock to show 7 items.

Put 7 items in dock.

Remove 2 items.

Set Dock to show 5 items.

Result:

Only 4 items show up in dock (5th probably outside window?)

Found my way around, just thought I'd mention it here.
[Nova Launcher] manos78:
Thank you for the response! :good:

However, I repeat:

I KNOW ALL THE METHODS FOR CHANGING THE SYSTEM FONT!

:cyclops:

But, please, take into account:

1) Flash system fonts isn't pure safe!

2) Change system fonts requires root!

3) Change the system font changes the font used in all apps that use this font.

So, my request is quite simple: Add the option in Nova for use altenative font.

This is simple, it's easy, it's feasible, it's... mandatory for non-root users. And the most relevant: why I can theme icons and I can't theme fonts?

I hope the developers hear users! :fingers-crossed:

Telsaunread not installed iam try to use lasts version??? Android 4.2.2
[Nova Launcher] 60nine:
and the award for the most stubborn xda user goes to... :D

dude - get real

1. first you say that changing the fonts requires root

2. then you say it's easy and simple - it's not

to change the font - the nova launcher would also require root... without root - there is no new fonts because it's deep system feature...

again - name ONE launcher that can change the font

and i'd strongly advise you to learn a bit more about how android works...
[Nova Launcher] NickosD:
Changing fonts doesn't require root. See tw roms.
[Nova Launcher] 60nine:
don't mess apples and oranges...

roms are roms - launchers are launchers...

edit:

one very important thing about fonts that i forgot to mention is - a font copyright issue...

not all fonts are free and i guess Nova developers just want to avoid any possible copyright problems...

i've googled a bit on changing fonts on android - and i see that GO launcher has (or had) this feature which requires copying a .ttf font file in a specific directory on sd card and then selecting it via the launcher's settings...

as far as i see it - it would lead to:

1. system instability (because you'll need at least 3 basic font styles of the same font - normal, italic and bold)

2. screen redraw slowdowns (because some fonts are heavy in size and sd cards mostly have a slower reading speed than internal phone memory)

3. i'm sure there are more reasons why this is not a good idea

i've used the GO launcher several times on various devices - and it was the slowest launcher of all i've tried... and i guess this was because of all "fancy" stuff it has for the user to choose...
[Nova Launcher] manos78:
Sorry? :confused:

I'm not speaking about changing system font from Nova... this is not my objective. :angel:

I request that Nova

uses

an altentative font... like a tons of Apps.

It has the option for use alternative subfonts (italic, bold...), but not user fonts.

Several launches has this option. Why not Nova?

:silly:

Sorry if this post is offending! :angel:

---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 PM ----------

Thank you for your reasonable response.

So, I like to comment it:

1) Several Apps has custom fonts. Developers only need to add the font file in the APK. This is native supported in Android for years!

2) Some launchers use user fonts. They can read a font from the filesystem (SD card, or another path) and COPY it to the data directory of the App. Then, the font is always accesible like stock. No slowness... no errors.

3) Some Apps explore all installed APKs for custom fonts. This can be a problem about copyright... but this is not the option that I suggest. I suggest to READ a custom font.

4) Several fonts are free. The Play Store has several free (and not free) fonts for install. You can use them as you like. Moreover, Google has published several FREE and Open Source fonts. Why we can't use them?

For me is really difficult to understand why I can theme ICONS and not the FONT. It's incredible! :confused:

Sorry, if some other don't agree my opinion! :crying:
[Nova Launcher] 60nine:
i've explained everything very very well in my previous post... read it 100 times

icons and font customization are 2 different things... while customizing icons is way easier to achieve than customizing fonts on android... (some experienced android developer could better explain why)

and i don't get why don't you use the launcher that has that option if you miss it so much...

i don't have anything more to add on this subject
[Nova Launcher] manos78:
Use custom fonts are more simple than use custom icons.

See this: http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/customize-android-fonts--mobile-1601

Use custom fonts are three lines of code:

TextView txt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.custom_font);
Typeface font = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(), "Custom_Font.ttf");
txt.setTypeface(font);

Regards!
[Nova Launcher] 60nine:
yeah, great - but that requires root, and the user above wants it without root ;)
[Nova Launcher] manos78:
No, this is an example of the code that ANY App can use for load a custom font in the UI. In this case for a TextView field (named txt in the example).

I repeat (as a developer), use a custom font is trivial, and Nova needs to support it! :p
[Nova Launcher] 60nine:
thanks for the clarification...

then it's a copyright thing i guess... or a cluttering the app thing...

eventhough there are plenty free google fonts to use, some users would always request more fonts...

i personally don't need any font support in nova... i already have everything i need

[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
If people read the op and followed instructions instead of continuously posting silly requests and stuff there wouldn't be this issue. Directions of where to post requests or bugs can be found in the op. There is a website, g+ page, beta channel, and email to contact teslacoil. I've requested XDA close this thread many times as all other threads where the dev has abandoned it have been closed but XDA refuses to close it and will suspend you if you try to reason with them. Apparently bringing up things they don't like to hear is spamming...

[Nova Launcher] zelendel:
Changing the font for your home screen and app drawer only kinda is pointless.
[Nova Launcher] weezlerox01:

[Nova Launcher] manos78:
I purchased Nova Prime.

I like Nova.

Implement custom Font support is trivial.

It doesn't requires root.

I don't understand why some users lame this! :(
[Nova Launcher] zelendel:
Mostly because a launcher font system is kinda pointless when it only effects 2 parts of the system making things look off as the rest of the system fonts won't follow.

If you think it is so trivial then by all means make it yourself.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Those are controlled by color of icon you are editing. If it has no color, white, black, gray, the icons in the edit windows are colorless as well. Stupid? Yes. Yes it is. Blame Matias Duarte. Don't know him? Google that bastard. He sucks.

I moved a bunch of apps to the external SD card. Now when I try to add the widgets, they are not found. Is there a setting to tell it to look at the external SD as well?????
[Nova Launcher] zelendel:
That depends on the app. Most apps don't support moving to sdcards. This is due to the issues that come along with the way android mounts the sdcard. Even the new bit Google added it will still not really work well. It was made. For low storage devices. Part of the reason Samsung disabled the ability to mount the sdcard as internal storage.
[Nova Launcher] ScottBroker:

I had to move back to internal. Wish it would work on external/
[Nova Launcher] khaytsus:
Widgets don't work when moved to SD, period. Has nothing to do with Nova. In fact, it's not even allowed, so you must be doing something to force it.
[Nova Launcher] skingg:
Fingerprint scanner to unlock the lock screen stops showing up after updating to Marshmallow on LG V10. We noticed that it is somehow connected to Nova Launcher's double tap to lock gesture which after you double tap to turn off the screen, if you try to wake the V10 up with either the power button or double tap, 95% of the time the fingerprint unlock will not show up but whatever you set as the secondary lock would (pattern, pin, tap, etc). But if we revert back to the stock LG UX launcher, the fingerprint to unlock prompt always work.

Kindly look into this as the fingerprint unlock was working perfectly with Nova Launcher on Lollipop. Thank you.

[Nova Launcher] fruitie1986:
Hello there. I'm also having the same issue as skingg, do you mind to tell me how to trigger this permission thingy because it doesn't show up and request for my permission. Your help is very much appreciated! :o

Edit: If you meant this, it was already enabled since day 1 on MM.

Edit 2: Managed to trigger the permission and I have given the permission. It's shown as "Device Admin" in Nova Launcher but unfortunately it still doesn't work with fingerprint sensor.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
I don't have fingerprint unlock but was only commenting on what you would need to do to get it working. It may be more complicated now as the fingerprint is the worst of all the lockscreens security wise. So they may have changed it and it is not accessible thru nova any longer. May need to enable superuser access or something to nova to get it working...
[Nova Launcher] JohnSpawnVFX:
Device Admin permission is on the Security settings part of the phone
[Nova Launcher] fruitie1986:
I believe it's all enabled by default because I have no issue with other apps. All apps are given with permission on default without me tweaking anything for this part.

Anyway, safe to say it's an issue from Nova Launcher.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Not a nova issue, it's a security issue on android's end. Your device is not allowing Nova to utilize this feature, nova didn't change your OS did. You can also be missing a setting somewhere and you just aren't seeing it. Nova can only ask your device for these permissions. Your device needs to say it's ok. Not saying Nova may need to update to correct something to gain these permissions but it isn't a bug or any issue that can be put on Nova.

[Nova Launcher] fruitie1986:

[Nova Launcher] rmrbpt:
That has probably something to do with this

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79735

Basicly if you lock the screen with any app or widget smart lock doesent work.

I'm guessing the fingerprint sensor on the LG uses code that is also affected by this.

Only ways to get around this need root.

[Nova Launcher] 60nine:
sorry, just noticed there is a beta update...

as the previous user said - it works for him, maybe you should clear the app cache after the upgrade...

as for the post about system mess after removing the app

the only problem you could have when removing nova launcher is if you deleted the other system launcher you had before...

so that would leave you without any launcher at all which leads to system crashes/errors...
[Nova Launcher] starkly_raving:
No issues here either...using it on a few different devices.
[Nova Launcher] :
Wow, just wow...

At least we have power users like you who know exactly what to do.
[Nova Launcher] JohnSpawnVFX:
Power users don't ***** about problems with beta updates, whether it's April Fools or not. Non-power users don't bother with beta updates and those who do should know better and not freak out whenever something goes wrong. Given that many others aren't having problems, it's userspace issue.
[Nova Launcher] :
I downloaded an "update" off APK mirror yesterday and nothing got broken.

I noticed a new setting (Holo setting) that I've never seen before.........

Anyway, I just wanted to let all know I'm not having any problems, but if I was I'm not into coming on here and start ranting *****ing or moaning, I would just remove the offending update, but that's me, everyone is entitled to their opinion and entitled to deal with something going wrong any way they please, as long as they don't ***** at me, I don't really care :D

Double tap to sleep with root forces nova to freeze and not respond till it is force closed on N preview (6P) :(
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
It won't work on N preview. There is a reason it says preview on it, it is meant for developers to gain a head start on things for the next OS. Apps are not updated to N yet because it is not a finished official build. Too much may be different to try to make apps work with the preview builds. APIs aren't even available yet...most people only check out the N preview only to see what may be coming and usually ditch it after a day. It isn't meant as a daily driver....

[Nova Launcher] curioct:
Hi Guys,

I have a weird one and to be fair, I am actually fairly confident this is NOT actually a Nova issue as I have a couple of other apps exhibiting similar issues,but in particular other launchers.

I have a brand new SGS7 which I have rooted added TWRP and xposed and a few modules with some minor essential tweaks, installed nova prime & teslaunread. set up for adoptable storage as apps2sd was being ...painful. Made sure this was all stable then made a nandroid back up.

I then painstaking restored my apps titanium back up (over 800apps) in small batches testing as I went and moving them to the ext4 partition on the sdcard via the application manager. Quite painstaking.... finally got to the point where I was happy Nova set up with about 7 home screens approximately ten widgets. I was having issues with an app organizer, so I decided to create a home screen with folders on one for games, one navigation/travel etc etc.

As I was adding my apps in the folders I was checking to see which needed reinstalling and moving to the ext4 partition then adding them into the folders someway through this process I noticed one the unread notifications was wrong so I backup the desktop settings in nova and decided to restart Nova using the option in Nova settings. Ever since that point no matter what I have tried Nova force closes the moment I try to open it.

I have tried all the obvious things and some much less obvious, (clearing cache and data obviously uninstall reinstall, restore from nandroid, restore from titanium each after full uninstalls, reboot to recovery, fix contexts, cache wipe, dalvik wipe, file system error checks on data and system even restoring system from nandroid, I've tried unstalling play and play services updates wiping both of their data even unistalling android webview)

Nothing has helped the only choices I think I have left are full wipe and restore the nandroid, full wipe and restore everything using smart switch or full wipe / format of the SD card all of these options are unappealing given the hours I spent getting where I wanted to be ...... SO I thought I would ask .....

Anyone have any ideas that do not involve a major rework?

Thanks but no luck. Not sure what I'm going wrong, I go into Nova Settings -> Desktop -> Homescreen and all I see is a blank home screen with a + symbol in the top right. If I push long on that nothing happens

If I just go to the home screen that I do not want and push long I just get the options to "add to home screen" Nova Actions, Apps Shrtcuts etc

hi, great launcher!

I'm testing beta 12: I suggest you some improvement:

1. there are some instability when I add widget in screen (ok , is a beta :) )

2. could you make the menu that I get when I long pressed a screen (and other Nova menus), identical to official launcher? (rows and font char smaller)

3. better translation (If you want, I'll give you my help in Italian)

4. graphical ballon (long pressed) smaller (like ICS menu)

Still never got any feedback on either of these issues with both fresh System/App installs of Nova, as well as the non-System app updates of the newest Nova apk.

After many wipes and ROM changes, I still run into both of these issues- the bottom one daily and much more often. Why does every single widget just stop displaying updates all of a sudden after they were working fine? I constantly have to Force Stop Nova/reboot/uninstall and reinstall just to get the widgets to show updates again, for a little while. I wish I could explain this better.
