hey guys, i've had this problem for all versions i've tried, and still have it with version 15: when using 3 homescreens, and cardstack animation, i do not have the cardstack animation on the left hand screen when swiping between homescreens. to clarify: if you're on a screen, and swipe to a screen on the right, the right hand screen that you're swiping to will have the cardstack animation, but the left screen that you're swiping FROM will have no animation. likewise, if you're on a screen, and swipe to the left, the left hand screen that you're swiping to will have no animation, but the right hand screen that you're swiping from will have the normal cardstack animation.

is this a problem that anyone else has? i've wiped 3 times, tried different roms, different nova versions, but still have the issue. thanks for any input.

[Nova Launcher] Burag:
kevin@TeslaCoil, thanks for your awesome work ;)

The only thing that I can complain about is that Nova is spamming my logcat with logs like this one:

D/SurfaceTexture( 71): [com.teslacoilsw.launcher/com.android.launcher2.Launcher] this:0x8ae28 dequeueBuffer: tryAgain:1

Repeated many times. Could you please disable such deep debugging? It makes hard reading other logs...
[Nova Launcher] Nucleotide:
Definitely a must. ;)
[Nova Launcher] skywalker_67:

It shows up in my market, but I can't do anything with it. I always update from Nova Settings.

Sorry,my problem is different.

I really don't like the space remaining on the left,causing the widgets to fit in a smaller place,in landscape mode.

This happens with persistent search bar disabled.

Thank you very much. The update solves my problem with the highlighted icons (as sayd in your changelog) Now everything is realy perfect! Great work!

[Nova Launcher] nsnsmj:
This launcher is really great. It runs buttery smooth on my AOKP M3'd Nexus S. Also, after updating to the newest version, my apps in folders were rearranged. Not a big deal though since it only happened that one time after updating. It didn't re-rearrange them after a reboot either, so yeah, all is great.

Thanks very much for the awesome launcher!

If you would be so kind, could you tell me the name of the Timeline Widget? Is it one of the APW widgets or something else?

Thanks!

Edit: Haha! It's been so long since I posted that I didn't realize I still had that old EnergyROM signature. Good times. Signature now removed.
[Nova Launcher] Speedum:
Yes, I have experienced the same trouble on 15. On 14 it is fine.

Usually happens when I press the home button a few times and then the app drawer will become blank. And usually after a opening on other apps then the app drawer will come back with icons.
[Nova Launcher] jgordon00:
Yes I saw this today. And connected to this, when I pressed the home button (which normally shows me the mini versions of my homescreens), that also appeared blank. I had to actually BACKUP and then uninstall and reinstall Nova to fix this.

1. Why does my update from the phone not work

2. Is there another link to download from

[Nova Launcher] fabzbear:
Anyone know of any Good ROM porter? Please pm me with info.
[Nova Launcher] esoomenona:
On beta 15, my wallpaper has shifted and I can't get it to align back up. I made it to be within the nav bar and notification bar, but its shifted under the notification bar.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
If you created the wallpaper, specifically to fit the way 3rd party launchers render/scale walls, then you'll probably have to re-work it. In Beta 15, Kevin re-coded the way backgrounds are displayed, and now they scale just like the stock launcher (only 3rd party launcher that does this I believe). It may be an inconvenience right now, but moving forward, it will end up better. :)

update not sticking

im using this on my dinc and gtab with aokp build 23 and im having issues keeping it updated. after i update from b14 to b15 randomly after a reboot the update doesnt stick. after it turns back on it reverts back to 14 and i have to update back to 15 again. happening on both of them not sure if its an issue with aokp or nova launcher
[Nova Launcher] mrpopgun:
ICS or Launcher?

So, when you long press on the home screen then choose shortcut, what is responsible for determining the displayed choices - ICS or the launcher application? When I was running gingerbread ROMs, 'Folder' would show up in the list and then I could choose the Pandora Folder My Stations. Under both THS and DOCs ROM's "Folder" hasn't been an option. Am I doing something wrong or is there a workaround?
[Nova Launcher] tom1l21:
I don't believe ICS supports empty folders (so the shortcut way wouldn't work) so you must drag an icon over another one to make a folder out of them.
[Nova Launcher] jacklebott:
Just drag and drop one app to another, there's no need for a blank folder anyway
[Nova Launcher] mcardielo:
Will be wonderful if you integrate Nova Launcher and WidgetLocket in order than don't need to use WL HomeHelper, this because sometimes when unlock my phone, Nova seems to restart and take a little time to show the widgets and so on.

EDIT: this on a Samsung Galaxy S2.
[Nova Launcher] blk_jack:
Try V6 Supercharger, stopped redraws for me :)
[Nova Launcher] srthimsen:
I tried v6 on my ns4g, still got regular redraws.
[Nova Launcher] blk_jack:
You need to make sure you're using the latest beta version and you NEED to patch your services.jar a la the second post on the V6 Supercharger thread. If you don't, or you didn't, then your launcher's priority wasn't changed and was still easy to kill.
[Nova Launcher] sp3cial3dfr3d:
great job 5 starz

It works on my moto Xoom ics I would like if its possible for a lock desktop option I have the kiddies touching and dragging apps lol also I think ur prob aware but moto Xoom landscape doesn't show app name keep up the awesome work!!!
[Nova Launcher] mrpopgun:
I understand what you are saying, but I think I may be asking something different. While I understand ICS folders and dragging and dropping icons to create them, the Pandora 'My Stations' folder was something different. You would click on it and it would open a window with all your stations. What's more, it wasn't an actual folder as far as I can tell on the filesystem - it seemed to be an app generated logical folder you could build an icon to. Does that make any sense?

is what I am talking about: pocketnow.com/android/pandora-tip-for-android-add-stations-to-homescreen
[Nova Launcher] flyfish234:
It seems the entire top bar: notifications, time signal are all toggle away in this version. I can't seem to get it show when I'm on the home screen or other screens.
[Nova Launcher] esoomenona:
But what change could it have been? The top bar is 50 pixels and the bottom is 96. I made a wallpaper to have things right inside of those parameters. Now, the top one which should be under the top bar is being covered by it. What amount of pixels should I move it down now?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I'm not really sure about that, honestly. Since the launcher is scaling and rendering walls like the stock launcher now, you should just be able to scale your wallpaper to the default size for your device, and run from there. I think I remember somebody posting that the dock spacing has been moved up a bit though (I haven't checked), so that may be causing the wallpaper to shift upward also. I would take a look in the apk, and see if there's something that can be changed. I'm not much good with wallpapers, honestly... I do more icons, and tinker with theming a little bit, so I'm really just guessing here...

[Nova Launcher] dimeim:
Honestly, there's a serious issue with this launcher... It's TOO DAMN FAST!!! :D :D :D

Great work man, very nicely done.

On a side note, it actully is kinda "too fast" :P What I mean is that switching between screens on home is very.. "rigid", almost instant. Would prefer it a little bit smoother. What I mean is that for example scrolling on iOS devices is very fast but also smooth... Don't know if what I'm saying is clear. :P Hope it is ;)

Anyway, thanks! Great app, should be stock on all custom roms.
[Nova Launcher] esoomenona:
I see what it is now. Its not counting the nav bar as part of the screen. Meaning the bottom of the wallpaper starts at the top of the nav bar, so I need to move everything down 96 pixels.

Edit: or cut off the bottom 96 pixels from the wallpaper
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Ahh, that makes sense! I'm glad you got it straightened out! :)

So that fixed my problem with the quick search bar but I've now discovered that any widget I place on that screen disappears after a reboot, icons will stay but any widget disappears from the #5 screen. Can anyone else confirm this?
[Nova Launcher] famewolf:
Does beta3 report itself as beta2? I checked for updates..no joy...then downloaded the apk but after a push and reboot it still shows beta2.

Great work...I am curious since the launcher is a derivative of the original AOSP launcher how you can make a "pro" version....don't you still have to release the source for both?

It may have already been suggested but any plans to support adw themes?
[Nova Launcher] travva:
adw icon support

So, first off, this launcher is sweeeeet! THANK YOU. I do have a question though, I tried changing my gosms icon to the normal android messenger one, which i retrieved from an icon pack on an adw site. It worked, however the icon was like grain of rice sized lol. Any idea how I can fix that? The actual PNG itself is 72x72 so I don't think that's the issue. It looks perfectly big on my pc screen.
[Nova Launcher] The111:
Works fine for me using this 72x72 PNG attached. Attach the one you are trying to use and I'll test it out on my phone.

EDIT: I also harvested the actual PNG from the mms.apk on our system if you want to try that instead of the one you found from ADW. This one works fine on my phone too.
[Nova Launcher] lp1527:

Resize widgets

Hi,

I have enabled the option to resize widgets in Nova Launcher (drawer, settings Nova Settings, scroll down, check the box) but when I go to the widget and press+hold I only get the option to delete.

Am I missing something?

Edit: I have a displayresolution of 160
[Nova Launcher] DreamingWolf:
I have a widget and 2 shortcuts on the screen and they all persist through reboots. Sorry, I know that doesn't help. Did you have anything on the screen when you dragged the search bar onto it?
[Nova Launcher] shadow_empire1:
that would be nice!
[Nova Launcher] MontAlbert:
i agree with whoever said to leave it with the basic options and fast. Too many options may bloat it and slow it down.

Booting to Target Download screen?

Hello, I havent read through all the pages here on NOVA but I do have a question. Something that scared the crap out of me this morning.

I wanted to reboot the phone this morning and it booted to the start button and downloading target screen.

It wouldnt do squat from there. i let it sit and sit.. finally I pressed the power button and it went into booting and loaded.

I have not rooted the phone, or anything like that. just wondering if this is a NOVA thing or if I have something else up with my phone.

The only custom stuff I have done to the phone is

Sideloaded NOVA

Sideloaded wallet

everything and every other app I have has come from the market.

any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks!

EDIT.. I may have pressed a volume button along with power when rebooting phone.. IM SUCH A NOOB lol.. doing a quick search I didnt know that doing that would bring you to this ODIN mode..
[Nova Launcher] smlmn:
Same to me. Need a fix. Also can u make a resize to dock icons?
[Nova Launcher] travva:
Hm, others in the thread had similar issues so this kind of puzzles me. I'll play around a bit more with it.

No, I don't have this bug.

One question:

Have installed Nova Launcher as normal app or have you pushed it to /system/app?

I pushed it to /system/app maybe that's the reason...

Lost Nova Launcher Settings Icon

I migrated everything from an ICS phone to a Transformer Prime tablet including the phone's Nova Launcher backup. When I restored that backup on the Prime I lost the Nova Launcher Settings because it was only in the dock of the phone and the tablet doesn't have a dock.

Any way of getting that back?

On Nova 15, GNEX, Pete Alfonso's Bugless Beast nightly.

Is Pete's ROM still in Alpha by chance? I'm on CM9, and Minimalistic Text updates fine, so I'm assuming it's not a launcher issue.

[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
That's REALLY strange... I wasn't expecting it to be THAT drastic! Have you possibly changed ROMs between beta 14 and 15? I have absolutely NO idea what could cause such a massive change in the way the wallpaper is being displayed, other than a new systemui.apk or maybe a framework change. I notice your clock is centered, so I assume you're using a theme? Have you tried a fresh flash of your ROM and Nova, without the theme?

Another poster had a wallpaper issue, but his was a custom wall, that he had created, based on the old way the launcher used to render backgrounds, and we/he managed to work through it, and figure it out... your issue looks too drastic to be a problem like that though. :(

[Nova Launcher] danielsf:
I really hope the launcher gets custom font sizes, as I like to change dpi to 216 (from 240) on my galaxy s2 running cm9, everything looks so much nicer at that dpi but unfortunately the font sizes in the ICS launcher (especially in app draw) look too small. Apart from that the launcher looks wonderful at that lower dpi (makes everything smaller). So, to be able to change font sizes, would be a great feature to have :D
[Nova Launcher] rosmarcelino:
An option to hide icons on app drawer would be great!

Anyway great job,i have replaced Cm9 launcher with this and have no regrats!

I would help with portuguese translations,but they are 100% finished! \o/
[Nova Launcher] djmcnz:
Lol no. I just changed versions to take screenshots for that post...

I've been around for a while, I'm confident it's the launcher.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
You can go to Settings--> System--> Font Size, and choose between one of four different sizes. It may not make the text as small as you might like, but it might be enough to get you by for the time being. :)

D3 CM9 Alpha 7
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Fair enough...I'm just really shocked by how drastic the problem is, and I haven't seen anyone else with an example like yours, so I was taking a shot that it might just be an "outlier", resulting from one of the mods you have. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me can help you sort it out. :-\

How did you set the wallpaper, from the gallery or some other app? If Gallery can you try setting it again, if not-gallery can you share the wallpaper and expain how it's set?

Nova as of 15 requests vertical centering of the wallpaper, which is needed for tablets to sanely crop from the gallery. I considered only doing this in landscape and in portrait requested the top of the wallpaper, but didn't have any good test case where it was needed. In your case I'd actually expect it to shift in the opposite direction...
