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

Thanks. I'm still not understanding the logic of the "My Apps" option, though. How do you tell what is hidden and what is not? What is the purpose of the "hidden apps" tab in setup? It doesn't seem to indicate what is and what is not hidden, and switching between "All" and "My Apps" involves apps that have no indication of being hidden or otherwise.

That's so you can set a shortcut to a direct dial. E.g.. I have my phone icon in my dock, when I press it I get the dialer, but if I swipe up on the icon it calls my girlfriend :) it's a nice feature!

Nova won't make any calls, but it needs the permission to allow you to do it

Nova has to list that, because it has to have the ability to launch your phone app. Some phone functions (long distance, collect calls, international calls, etc) naturally cost money... Nova isn't charging you or costing you any kind of hidden fees. :)
[Nova Launcher] khaytsus:
YOUR features do not necessarily match HIS intended features. There is way too much demanding for "just my little feature" in this thread, as always. Just because XYZ Launcher does it, or because you want to have 500 random animations doesn't mean it makes sense for a dev to put time and effort into doing so.
[Nova Launcher] jamfreak:
Re: [APP 4.0+] Nova Launcher - 2.0.1beta3 Jan 11 2013

Not to mention that every "feature" usually adds more bloat to it. I mean really, the pro version comes with quit a few transition effects to choose from. Do you really need more? If you want a browser with super customization /effects maybe you can try GO Launcher. Downside is because of all its settings and customization options its very big and bloated.

I like Nova for the speed and smoothness and how stabil it runs on my phone.

More transition effects wont necessarily help there...

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

Agreed 100%. Not to pile on (feature requests are addressed all the time here), but Kevin's original goal was to create a lightweight, fast, and versatile launcher. He's done that.

Adding tons of extras would boat and slow the launcher down. A couple animations or features wouldn't be a big deal, but how would he chose which requests to grant, and which to ignore? Someone's always going to feel that they've been ignored, or that their idea would make Nova "perfect", but in the end, this is Kevin's baby, so it's his call. :thumbup:
[Nova Launcher] oae08:
Re: [APP 4.0+] Nova Launcher - 2.0.1beta3 Jan 11 2013

If you go back and read through this thread you will find many people asking for new animations or effects. However, forget them, I as a consumer have bought the prime product and I DO have a right to say what I suggest to be added. Note that I haven't demanded, and the dev has a page for suggestions which I have put my votes in, but I don't see any progress on this even though it has many votes ;)

Oh and I don't want 500 new effects, 2-3 new onea would be just awesome :D

I agree 100% that's why I didn't demand, I only bumped my idea which has been ignored or maybe forgotten :D
[Nova Launcher] Fr33L4nc3r:
How could it be forgotten ?

This particular demand is almost reminded by spammers every day, one of them not pretending to be a dead grunge group leader ...
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Re: [APP 4.0+] Nova Launcher - 2.0.1beta3 Jan 11 2013

I wouldn't exactly say you were "bumping" your own idea, with your response to my post... I do get your point though. There are people (yourself included) who may feel overlooked, and I get that; the issue for Kevin is to decide what he finds important and what he doesn't. He hasn't added a new effect or transition to the launcher in months, so I think it's safe to say he feels there are enough already, and doesn't intend to add any more.

Unfortunately, that will upset some people - some will even leave Nova because of it. Life goes on though.

----------------------------------------------------

What I do see is a pretty clear divide between those of us who root, and those who don't. Root users are looking for speed, low memory usage, stability, and a couple nice, useful features. The reason - because we have the tools at our disposal to add many of these "extras", like transitions, on our own...maybe we take them for granted a bit, idk.

Most non-root users don't tend to care as much about the things I just mentioned (I didn't say all, I said most). They seem to prioritize form over function, and stuff like fancy transitions, and tons of features, appeal to them. All of this is fine and good, but our ideological differences are what's causing the majority of the conflicts here. Nobody is right, and nobody is wrong... It's just a "different strokes for different folks" kinda thing. :)

Since, by your own words, you say its such a popular and desired feature, why completely ignore it? I'm not a group leader, I speak for myself and have never spammed this thread with any request.

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

Just go into Nova settings and scroll down until you see the "check for updates" option

Click on that tab, then select "Public Beta" from the menu. It will automatically download the update. And yes, the latest beta is really, really nice... I suggest trying it. :)

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

Some times I feel that requests to keep launcher bloat free and light isn't considered as a "true" feature request like the these animation requests etc.

If there's a request to keep bloat at minimum and request to add animations, Kevin may choose either one. So, not adding more animations doesn't mean that that request isn't noticed, but maybe that another request is considered more important (even though it necessary doesn't get mentioned anywhere).

So my vote goes for: no more bloat.. :)

Just my 2 cents.. I'm not trying to offend anyone nor this post is directed against anyone's earlier post :)

[Nova Launcher] dragontology:
2.0.1 beta 3 just went bats**t crazy on me for a minute.

I set "Fast for Facebook" as a swipe option for FriendCaster, which is in a folder called Social on my home screen (also includes Reddit is Fun, Bacon Reader, a shortcut to XDA for the Tapatalk forum app, and Google+). Well, I can't open Fast by swiping up on FriendCaster. It does nothing. Frustrated, I try a long-press-plus-swipe, and that just tosses FriendCaster out on the homescreen, in fact on top of my photo widget. I drag it back onto the folder, and sort it (because I'm OCD like that) and try swiping up again. No luck. For some dumb reason I try the long press swipe, and again it drops it right on my photo widget. Here's where things get awesome. I go to put it back, and the FriendCaster icon is now on top of the Social folder (not in it, completely covering it). So I go to move it off, and I see that the Social folder wasn't under it. And then I drop FriendCaster on top of the photo widget (there is actually no free space) and it disappears like I deleted it. Zoom out animation and all. So now I have no icon and no folder and I'm confused.

I'm not mad or anything. It will take 2 minutes to fix, if that. (Mostly because I use custom icons for everything.) I just think it's funny. (As for my Facebook client issue I will probably drop FriendCaster. I like OneLouder's work, but Fast has come a long way. I used to hate the interface. Now it might be the best Facebook client out there.)

/edit: Social folder didn't go away, it went under the widget.

On the topic of home screen transition animations, since that appears to be the topic of the day, I only have eyes for Card Stack. I don't care for any of the others at all, including the default. I use Card Stack in Nova Prime on JB and I use it in Holo Launcher Plus in GB. Works and looks exactly the same on both and I like it like that. Just my 2¢; that is, I don't care if more get added or not. Though I do support those who say maybe more could be optionally added, e.g. how Beautiful Widgets has its mini-store.
[Nova Launcher] tacchan23:
Agreed, can't possibly believe adding new animations would slow the launcher.

And if it really does, why not take off some of the worst animations (there are plenty) and replace them with something nice like TouchWiz one?

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

Yep, folders inside the drawer always used to open like that for me - it gave me the distinct impression folders weren't really meant to live inside the drawer and Nova was fudging it somehow. (I might be completely wrong about this of course.)

p.s. not sure if this is a heretical opinion but I seriously love the newish List format for the app drawer.

[Nova Launcher] ylexot:
There is no such thing as a good/bad transition. There are only transitions that YOU like and transitions that YOU don't like. They are all just window dressing. Maybe instead of just saying that you want more transitions, maybe say what transition(s) you want? Otherwise, I'm sure Kevin could come up with a few transitions that I'm sure nobody would like. For example, how about the screen goes blank for ten seconds and then shows the next one? See what I mean? And to expect Kevin to randomly come up with some transitions that people will like is pretty much a crap shoot.

I'm using Nove Launcher Prime 2.0 on an LG Optimus 2X phone with CM 10. Something that I have seen on this phone, with both CM 10 as with LG based ROMs, is that when I wake up my screen and unlock my phone, applications with widgets are started up, even though I do not have the widget on one of my home screens. The only way to prevent these apps to be started, is to block the "widget updating" signal with the Autostarts application for all these apps of which I do not use the widgets.

I also have an Asus Transformer TF700 with the default Android JB launcher. There no unneeded apps are started when I unlock the screen. Could this problem be caused by the fact that I use Nova Launcher on my phone?

This behavious is annoyting, as memory is constantly used by apps I am not even using and did not even start myself recently.

Applications with this behaviour: tripadvisor, waze, beautiful widgets, mustard, and many more. Basically all apps which have a widget.

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

I don't think this is a launcher or ROM issue honestly. There are just some apps that run at startup and on wake. The good thing is that you're rooted... You can use the Auto Start Manager in ROM Toolbox to specify which processes you want to freeze though.

Example: I use it to disable all the "friends" calls generated by Google Maps. Those (and other Maps processes) are big battery hogs, and disabling them helps out a bunch, since I don't use any of those related features.

You should be able to do the same thing, by disabling the widget update process from the Auto Start menu, and the post boot menu. :)

I beg to differ.

The fact that apps like Tripadvisor, Waze and many others are always started on my phone with Nova Launcher when I unlock the screen, while they are not when I unlock my Transformer TF700 tablet with default launcher, makes me think otherwise. As I said, disabling the widget update with the app AutoStarts, prevents this from happening on my phone, but on my tablet this is not needed at all. It also makes no sense that an app's widget update is called, even if I don't have this widget on my launcher.

The ultimate test: I installed Nova Launcher on my tablet, and with Nova Launcher active, locked and unlocked my tablet. Result: OS Monitor shows Mustard, Tasks, WorldScope Webcam, Soundhound, Tripadvisor, Clock, TuneInRadio Pro, and others active. I have not started these apps myself on my tablet since the last reboot, and according to OS Monitor, they were all started at the time I unlocked my tablet.All of these apps have a widget, and the only autostart event for apps like Tripadvisor and Soundhound shown in AutoStarts is "widget updating". Of course I don't have any of these widgets on my launcher.

It's clear for me that Nova Launcher is the cause of this problem.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Re: [APP 4.0+] Nova Launcher - 2.0.1beta3 Jan 11 2013

I see what you mean, but unfortunately, I can't reproduce those issues. OS Monitor shows certain apps launching briefly upon unlock, but they quickly move to the bottom of my processes list, and register 0% load. I don't have time at the moment, to test all the apps you mentioned, but I do have TuneIn Pro, and it doesn't even show in my list. Hopefully I can help out a bit more once I get home.
