@kevin

I dont know what you have done with your launcher on the actual beta relaese, but keep up the fantastic work! Iam a user of Nova Prime and with this beta this launcher is faster then ever! Transistions, really everything is absolutely smooth, just perfect. For me no more changes needed. Like it very much, this launcher is really worth every € i have paid! ;)

Cheers
[Nova Launcher] drakester09:
Hey Kevin,

Amazing launcher, I have bought the Prime.

There's one feature that I would love to see: infinite scrolling on the application drawer. Currently Apex has it and it helps when you have tons of apps installed.

Is it possible to add?

Thanks for your time.

Could a moderator please clean this thread, I am sure Kevin isn't interested in cat fighting but in users issues only. Which brings me to the point I still have memory issues, even after a clean install. I am at 4.0.4 Samsung galaxy s3.

Using the latest beta, bought prime, but I have it with all versions so far. Only issue I have, further on it is a real good launcher.

I'm on Jellybean now with Nova 1.2.2 beta 1. When I long press on a screen to add widget, the list comes up with black-on-dark-grey font. Otherwise it seems to be working great.

[Nova Launcher] sabret00the:
It really isn't bad at all, thank you for all of your work. However...

I can't secure the Nova Launcher settings*.

I can't secure folders*.

I have no control over whether or not the scroll indicator is above or below the dock icons

There are no widgets

* I would preferably secure both via a third-party app (App Lock) but even via an internal pin/pattern system would be good.
[Nova Launcher] manekineko:
Is there any way to try out the folders in app drawer functionality before buying? It's the key feature for me in a launcher, but it's a tough feature to implement, and there are lots of little ways it can go wrong, like how it sorts or doesn't sort the folders, or whether there is an item limit.

If there isn't any way for me to try it myself, could anyone post some screenshots of how it works?
[Nova Launcher] sabret00the:
You could buy, play for fifteen minutes and if it's not up to par, get a refund.
[Nova Launcher] peterbonge:
I have never seen such features in a launcher. And I've used a lot of launchers so far.

I'm sure that not many people would use such features. So this would unnecessary bloat the app.

This one could be useful.

Thank god this launcher doesn't contain widgets! Binding widgets to a launcher is really so bad!

How often do people ask why e.g. the Sense clock isn't available in other launchers?

How often do previous GO Launcher users wish that the GO widgets would work here too?
[Nova Launcher] mahercs:
Agreed. I've used a lot of launchers too, and bloat is a killer. If only a few people want a feature, it's not worth it, IMHO, to bloat the app. Lean and mean is the way to go.

[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
1.2.2beta2 July 3 2012

Search Bar Style of JB or ICS

Adjust padding so labels are more likely visible in landscape

Built-in stock jellybean icon theme

Custom widget list picker (requires Root or JB)

Fix FCs

Jellybean:

Fixes for backup/restore of widgets

Fixes for Play Store widgets

Support new system animations

Fixes for Nexus 7

Fix empty folders

Search Bar setting is in Desktop (along with to show the persistent search bar), might be moved to Look & Feel before 1.2.2 release.

I heavily tested the label padding thing, but it's possible I missed some case. If you notice that either:

1) Labels are being cut in half

2) Your layout is notable different from before

Then let me know along with a screenshot and type of device (resolution and dpi)

JB Theme isn't that different from ICS, but it's fun to try out the new icons. This is also there for users on skinned ICS (or one day skinned JB) that just quickly want to get a more stock feel.

Widget Picker List works around the broken Motorola widget list, and the black on dark grey of ICS. It's a modified version of Boombuler's AppWidgetPicker. Sadly it requires root or JB like the widgets-in-drawer does.

I imagine many of you are interested in getting the new launcher features from Jellybean like fling to remove desktop items. These will come after Google provides the source. Most of their changes should apply to ICS as well.
[Nova Launcher] phoenixs4r:
Thank you for the update. Would this update perhaps fix the widgets not refreshing on jelly bean? I have not mentioned it since JB is so new.
[Nova Launcher] frenccw:
Can't believe i never realised all this time until I used stock Jelly Bean but, is there any reason why the dock size(height) is different from stock?

The reason i'm asking is because the launcher has all the other settings to set to default stock except this. Just curious, not a complaint.
[Nova Launcher] mikkis2k:
how di i make the screengrid rows to 8, on a phone and not tablet? i head someone doing this :D
[Nova Launcher] captaincanada84:
Everything seems to be working for me after installing the recent beta.
[Nova Launcher] Kurre:
Hold "volume down" in the Nova's settings menu to enable "labs" options and you'll find a suitable setting from there ;)
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Unless you're talking about the new Play Store widgets (in which case yes) then I'm not aware of any issue. Though JB is new I'm absolutely open to polite bug reports with it. Rather iron out the issues now than later.

It actually depends on the screen size, but in the case of the Galaxy Nexus the stock launcher has 4 rows plus a big dock and a search bar, whereas default Nova has 5 rows, smaller dock no search bar but the row size is equal to the row size from stock. I do intend on making it configurable at some point.
[Nova Launcher] Kurre:
I have a minor bug to report related to the hub feature.

I'm currently using 5 home screens (so they are named as "page 1-5" in Nova) and I have made hubs bar to access these pages and it's working great. But now, when I want to use Tasker for these transitions..

In Tasker, pages are named as "page 0-4". Otherwise all "go to home" actions are working properly, but not the one with the "page 0" selection. It doesn't go to the page 1 in Nova, but expands notifications :eek: so there is probably something wrong with the Tasker integration or something else..:confused:
[Nova Launcher] maarrrrr:
Have the redraw issues been fixed?
[Nova Launcher] PollPixx:
In my case: no

As I mentioned several times I still have redraw and black screen after leaving an app using home button or back button.

As a few people do mention this here I assume it's something to do with my sgs3 running 4.0.4 so tonight I will clean everything, do a factory reset and put a custom rom on it. I will report if the issue is solved than.

I still think this is the best launcher but these black screens all the time gets a bit annoying :)

This runs exceptionally great for such a new launcher. Very excited to see what more you bring to the table as you do more updates.
[Nova Launcher] mbirth:
Is there any feature planned to have a tab in the App Drawer where the apps are sorted by usage? (Most used first) … I've read from someone who does this with Apex Launcher and after a few days to weeks, all his most used apps are on the first page. I kind of like this idea.

Also, where do I get a Private Beta code?

[Nova Launcher] rentbox:
This issue has been fixed for me on my Sensation running ICS (VI 4.0.2).
[Nova Launcher] sabret00the:
Just because the feature isn't one you'd use, it doesn't mean it's bloat. Gesture support was once considered bloat.

Well I don't think Widgets should be built in, but like TeslaUnread, they could be a plug in.
[Nova Launcher] kimboinatl:
The black on grey in the widget start is fixed now. Thanks!
[Nova Launcher] beluthius:
Hmm, seems that there is a bug in beta 2. You can see the grey widget/frame on my screenshot which appears when i do some changes in nova settings. Clicking on this frame/widget results in a crash of nova. A restart of nova solves this, temporally. Any ideas what causes this behaviour?

Autostart is used to prevent apps from starting in different scenarios..I understand word "hide" little differently :rolleyes: and no there isn't easy to hide widgets in Nova, that might be useful feature sometimes..but I can easily live without it :p

Of course you could freeze some widget apps, but why would anyone install widget app and then freeze it..:p

Love this launcher. I upgraded to Pro.

Interestingly, I cannot download the APK using the leecher tool, it just doesn't find it from the Play Store. Even when I put the APK in the download folder and re-scan, it does not pick it up for any possible updates.

[Nova Launcher] frenccw:
My guess is that it won't be high on the list of priorities because there are so many ways to do what you need. You can either (1) Put a search bar widget at the bottom or (2) Put a shortcut in the dock or (3) Use a gesture

The only reason the persistent search is at the top really is to match the stock look.

I know this is the way it should work, it doesn't. I do not get two options, only an X on top of the screen.

Pure calender

Simiclock

I would also like this feature
[Nova Launcher] Gazanfer:
Just registered here just to say thanks to you, nova launcher is the single best thing I installed on my galaxy nexus...

A few requests:

- When moving widgets, popup is triggered, and even gets in the way. but it should only be triggered if (it's released and not moved) or (held for X time and not moved)

- Can you do anything about recent apps? I think there should be 1 list for applications actually running, and 1 list for recent apps which just lists shortcuts for applications used recently. Maybe you can add tabs (running applications, recent applications) to recent apps button, and let user choose default one?

- I'm not sure if this is possible with a launcher, but can you do anything for fonts systemwide? I really like my fonts small like 10, but everywhere I read it's not possible to change fonts without rooting. It would be very useful if this feature was in nova launcher...
[Nova Launcher] Drachnem:
Love this launcher. I just about gave up on the launchers until I hit this.

I look foward to your premium version.

Some things I'd like to see in the paid version:

Social widgets like LauncherPro

More transitions

Option to show more columns and rows in app drawer
[Nova Launcher] just4747:
Please also include pinch to zoom previews!! As well as an option for Home to first go to main home screen and then when at homescreen, Home button shows previews :)
[Nova Launcher] Ambious:
A weigh in + request: I LOVE this launcher!

Just one thing, I'd like to see the option to configure the home button to act in two stages: First click goes to default page, second one shows preview (a-la-sense, rather than immediately going to either one).
[Nova Launcher] Machaira:
First, I want to say to the OP: THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I really dig Widget Locker, and so far I'm digging this launcher. Thank you!

Second, +1 to the idea of verticle scrolling in the app draw. I'm not a fan of paginated scrolling, and would rather zip to the end in short order.

Third, I was unable to locate this in searching the thread, but has anyone mentioned allowing scrollable widgets? When I was on GB, I had Agenda and News widgets that I absolutely lived on. I haven't posted here enough to link to their Market pages, but here are their proper names for those that care to search them out: "Scrollable News Widget" and "Agenda Widget for Android".

I'm slightly heartbroken at the thought of losing them. Among all the other things planned for this launcher, could this feature be added as well?
[Nova Launcher] just4747:

[Nova Launcher] jsthorpe:
I can find both Nova and Nova Prime in Play Store, and both say compatible (which is a good job, because its running!). I just can't find either using my APK leecher to get the APK without downloading to phone. Leecher tool turns up to 30 results, and even searching for "Nova Launcher Prime" doesn't find it! Even putting the APK from this thread into my leecher scan folder and performing a scan for updates doesn't work... it just queries the Nova APK, saying it can't determine if a new version is available or not. Very weird.

I only leech the APK's for backup purposes, its not like you are able to download paid-for apps without paying, as the leecher is linked to your Google Account and will only download free apps and those linked to your account... so if you haven't paid, you can't download.

Could the developers please look into this? I don't know if its a bug with my leecher, or something in your APK/Play Store listing that the leecher doesn't like? I'd really like to have both APK's stored for backup, as I sometimes do offline work and don't have access to Play Store to re-download.

[Nova Launcher] djmcnz:
Autostarts allows you to hide individual widgets. That's what was asked for right?
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Can you reliably reproduce? Steps to do so?

There's some issue with the Galaxy Note and apparently Galaxy S3 that can cause this. It's system level, possibly hardware acceleration. I haven't been able to track it down. Any steps to reproduce would be helpful (I've never seen it on either my Note or SGS3).

Nova Launcher only has one grid size option. Portrait and landscape use the same grid.

You answered your own question, it's a bug in the leecher, possibly because it doesn't like all APKs or Play Store listings. That is something for the leecher dev to handle, not me. Off the top of my head I'd guess it emulates an Android 2.x device and thus can't see ICS only apps.

I provide the APK from http://novalauncher.com if the Play Store is not working for you.

Well disabling, for example "widget updating (Task)" (Tasker), removes that widget from the "Add to home screen" menu (long-press home screen). But it doens't remove it from the Nova's "Widgets" menu. And that's what the original poster wanted to know (if widgets can be hidden LIKE the apps, using Prime feature "hide apps") :confused:

So using autostarts doesn't actually make any difference with this "problem".. :eek:

Or maybe he meant something totally different, but anyway..couldn't care any less anymore.. ;)
