Is there an option, that I just can't find, to change language in Nova Launcher?

no, it takes what system language you set in (system)settings/language and inputs

[Nova Launcher] m0han:

[Nova Launcher] hawkwind212:
I should not have blame the updates so quickly, so paid no attention to what I said about the updates. My nova apk is in my /system directory, I did that to save my ram space. After each nova updates I have to integrate the update into the rom using Titanium Backup. Each integration causes the widgets whose apk files are not in the

/system to disappear from my desktop.

Cause the beta1 changelog says "Show Shadows" on HTC One M8 perfectly blends from semi-transparent system bars....

So if you are using One M8 this behaviour may be designed on purpose...

You can't decrease it from the medium size... medium is the smallest size your dock can shrink to...:eek:

Nope, no problems here on Moto E.... Hope a restart and clean cache from recovery helps you...:good:
[Nova Launcher] andrewilley:
It's like fast-food, you can order a Medium or a Large meal, which does beg the semantically logical question of how you define "medium" without something smaller and something larger to reference it to. "Regular" and "Large" would be more accurate terms.

But yes, I'd like more than two size options too. :)

[Nova Launcher] hawkwind212:
NOVA also comes with my ROM, I'm using slimbean. However, I put all my launchers (I use apex and Holo as well) on the ROM. The apps that are not on my ROM are the ones that need reinstall after each NOVA update. The apps that are in the ROM do not disappear after the update.

Could we please have an option to keep the "show hidden" option selected for the Apps tab? It keeps resetting and leaves me with an empty tab.
[Nova Launcher] decmk:
Don't touch.

It's working perfectly.

If you want some app to be always visible, unhide it!

Sent from my HTC ONE M8 with Android 4.4.2
[Nova Launcher] tvisforme:
a) It's not "working perfectly", there are a few tweaks that would make the drawer functionality better;

b) this isn't a new request, it's for functionality that was removed;

c) I requested that we have the option to do this, if you don't want it you wouldn't have to enable it.

While the tabs in the drawer work well for the most part, there is an underlying problem in that there is no easy way to tell which apps are sorted into tabs and which ones are not. Folder Organizer, which I used to use on Gingerbread devices, has a good option wherein there is a specific folder that automatically includes the apps that are not sorted elsewhere. That makes it easy to check whether you have missed any apps when placing them in different categories. On Nova, the only way that you can accomplish the same effect is to have the respective tabs hide their included apps from the main Apps tab. That way, I know that anything left unhidden in Apps needs to be sorted. Prior to the v3 update, you could have the main tab show everything, hidden or not, and keep that view, only selecting "new" as needed. Now that option is gone, and it reduces the functionality because the "Apps" tab appears blank.
[Nova Launcher] killchain:
3.0 is a great improvement over an already awesome launcher. Things are close to perfection.

However, I've got a complaint that's been bothering me since around 2.2.

Is someone else bothered by this?

(click to enlarge)

1. Apply an icon pack. Put a bunch of icons in a folder. Long press the folder > Edit.

2. Choose some app's icon for the folder (Built-in > App Icon), Google Search in this case.

3.a Actual result: default (non-themed) icon is applied.

3.b Expected (wanted) result: Google's icon from the current icon pack is applied. (Achieved by manually picking the icon from the icon pack for the sake of this demonstration).

I know the 'App Icon' section appears with unthemed icons, but I remember some versions ago I could do this (this is not just some random idea) and the behaviour changed when Kevin did that overhaul on the icon picker (I think in version 2.2). The thing is that for most of my folders, I use some app's icon. It is okay until I decide to try another icon pack - then, if I want accordingly themed folder icons, I have to change them again one by one.

Icon pack is Voxel (if someone's curious).

Hi Kevin, I was wondering if it would be possible to support the no wallpaper rendering that Timduru implemented. Of course if this is a huge change to Nova then please forget I even asked.
[Nova Launcher] iPusak Gaoq™:
Hmmm...not sure if anyone agree with this but if the devs can add "look and feel" option every time we press the nemu button that would make this launcher even more wicked....just like Apex launcher that puts 'themes settings' on the menu button for ease access, you don't have to enter nova settings if you want to quickly changes icon packs and etc....
[Nova Launcher] rsage:
Isn't that happening because you're choosing a non-themed (built-in) version of the icon? I'm pretty sure you have to scroll to the Voxel icons and choose one from there, at least that's what I have to do.

---------- Post added at 09:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 AM ----------

Found one problem with the latest betas (which are otherwise great - thanks Kevin). Running on Moto X 4.4.2. If I have a folder with a lot of apps inside, scrolling doesn't always work on first attempt. I often have to flick multiple times before the folder contents will scroll. Seems to be worse when scrolling in some directions than others, almost as if touches aren't always being detected (but only when scrolling in folders).
[Nova Launcher] killchain:
That's my point - if I'm sticking to one icon theme, this is okay, but what I want is to apply an app icon to each folder that would change with the icon pack, so I only change the icon pack, not every single folder icon.

If I choose Google's icon from the Voxel pack, it will stay the same even if I then change the icon theme.

What I want (and what used to work) is that you could basically tell the launcher "use this app's icon from whatever icon theme is applied".
[Nova Launcher] jamfreak:
So I started using the transparent status bar in Nova settings. I like it but every time I wake my phone up it starts out black and it takes about half a second until it turns transparent. It gets real annoying to me. Anyone figured out if it is possible for the statusbat to be instantly transparent?

[Nova Launcher] pkelly517:
I get it. An after the fact incompatibility. It happens. I like that you weren't complaining, just looking fur an answer.

You could look at GPE edition phones. HTC offers the One. There's a Moto X Dev edition. Lots of options. Fewer for phablets,

I haven't tried Xposed, but it might also be an option, if you can root.

Good luck!
[Nova Launcher] jamfreak:
oh yeah I definitely run Exposed! Quit honestly it makes custom Roms almost unnecessary. Amazing what you can do with the framework. Still, I was running Cyanogenmod for the last 3 years and there seems to be just zero development going on for my phone but with xposed and ★ NOVA BROWSER ★ there is 'almost' no need for custom Rom's anymore, except I really would have a transparent status bar instantly ;)

Must be a Sense bug.
[Nova Launcher] zelendel:
We will see what happens with the new Android update that will limit root and some are saying will be the death of apps like exposed.

Try disabling desktop labels for icons.

Default grid is 4x4 or 4x5 (can't remember) but to get apps closer together you will need to increase both the rows and columns number until it suits you.

Nova fails to backup to External SD

I'm sure this must have been discussed here, but no searches respond. I've been stumbling around this problem for months.

Would really appreciate any feedback.

Thanks,

I just use Titanium Backup to restore, it restores app settings and also the whole desktop config (apps, widgets, wallpapers etc). When I found an app which offered a backup, I used to use it, then I found myself - on clean flashes etc - doing everything via TB. It's equally valid to restore just one app.

i LOVE THIS LAUNCHER... but it's definitely a battery drainer...

on my image: the time you see where it's dropping was from when i woke up and took the phone off the charger, starting on Nova, and just had it around the house, not really using it... the flatter line is when i switched to the stock launcher then i used it a bit b4 getting to work... at work i put it in my locker where i have bad reception... went on break and saw how flat the line was and decided to test this theory... so i opened up Nova Launcher again and left it in my locker with DATA OFF this time (normally helps save me battery by a very large amount since the signal is bad in my locker)... you can clearly see the battery drain happening much faster on Nova Launcher, even with data off... the really fast drop was me using it with Nova Launcher after i got off work! i hope this wasn't too confusing... i didn't feel like editing the photo for this explanation lol :D

btw, both launchers are setup identical, i only prefer the Nova launcher because of the features it offers over stock ICS...

anyone else notice this or am i going nuts here?? i'd really like to keep this launcher but i can't deal with the battery drain...
