Asked a few pages ago and never heard anything - is there a way to get a list of my bookmarks by swiping up from a dock icon? This is the last missing feature I used in LauncherPro.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Yep, it's fairly easy actually. Long press an icon, select Swipe Gesture, click on Activities, then scroll to whichever browser you use...click on the icon, then scroll to and select Bookmarks. Now, when you swipe up, you'll be taken straight to your bookmarks page. :)

Anyone else have the issue of this launcher taking up over 20% of the battery? I'm on the latest beta.
[Nova Launcher] BlackMaster1991:
you sure it takes so much?
[Nova Launcher] Towle:
Yeah. I use GSam battery monitor, and Nova is #1 on the list for "App Suckers".

@Tesla So you're going to slip in JB improvements to the ICS based nova, or rebase it off JB launcher?

~Freshly acquired LTEvo; ViperRom'ed in under 2hrs...
[Nova Launcher] mahercs:
Funny, same app has Nova at 0.7% for me. You sure it's not so high due to you maybe playing with it and adjusting the settings? When I rearrange stuff and play with it, usage skyrockets. If you aren't doing anything, then I don't know what to tell you. And I have tons of widgets on 5 screens.
[Nova Launcher] willl03:
Cant wait to see nova based on JB launcher now that tbe sources are out, I'm using the stock JB over nova right now, it NEVER lags but I miss the customisability

Soon we wont have to chose!

1.2.2beta4 July 11 2012

Fix early end to drag/drop

Fix root handling on some devices

Other fixes

For the Jellybean changes, I've started merging them into a separate code branch (not 1.2.2). There is a lot, the obvious ones are fing to delete and reflowing desktop icons/widgets/autoresizing widgets. But I want the rest too, many bug fixes and performance improvements.
[Nova Launcher] killian32:
If I want to try the beta version I've just to install over my actual app. Will I lost my settings ? Will I maintein the "pro" version ? When a new version will come out on market will I be warned by Play store ?

Thanks in advance

[bug / fc] creating folder in dock

Draged one app shortcut over another in dock, created folder, than dragged both apps out of it to the desktop, folder placeholder (circle) remained in dock, tried to drop app on the same place again and got fc.

PS: latest official market version, no prime.
[Nova Launcher] Chahk:
Running JB 4.1.1 on my GNex. The "Fix early end to drag/drop" is still showing the "Remove/Resize" pop-up when you start dragging, as opposed to when you place the icon/widget.
[Nova Launcher] wilcomir:
showing the menu is intended. it should disappear as you start dragging...

Please put in an quick-Alphabet on the right side of Appdrawer when we use vertical Scroll. It would be awesome if I can press the letter S and go directly to apps that starts with S.

Thanks for bringing the best launcher ever made =)
[Nova Launcher] sabret00the:
That's a great idea. Has to be an option though.

bug report:

on phone startup, all apps installed on sd show the default droid icon on desktop. restarting nova fixes the problem. I believe it is something related to sd scan on startup, sd is not mounted until it is over, and nova hopefully has already finished loading, so it could not access the icons pngs. maybe you should cache the icons or just detect sd mounting and reload them...

italians strings translated ;)

cheers

[Nova Launcher] natezire71:
Still have this bug present. I'm able to replicate it easily--as is my brother, who has the same problem. To replicate, make sure the folder is in the center dock slot, or one left OR right of it. Five dock items or more must be present. Just press on the folder twice for the bug to make itself apparent.

Thanks!
[Nova Launcher] dboechat:
One feature that I miss a LOT is the possibility to rearrange icons on the home screen like in folders... I requested this feature back in February and to this day it got just 7 votes! :(

I can't believe no one asks about this... I suppose it wouldn't be so difficult to implement?

Anyway, great launcher! Been using it for months!
[Nova Launcher] natezire71:
I'm pretty sure this exists. Unless I'm misunderstanding your question. I think you mean something like Jelly Bean's stock launcher has, correct? Where it rearranges itself?

Autocorrected from my Nexus
[Nova Launcher] dboechat:
No, no, I mean the option to reflow icons on the homescreen, like dragging an icon in front of another, placing one between two others etc.
[Nova Launcher] natezire71:
Yeah, like Jelly Bean's stock launcher. It reflows everything.

Autocorrected from my Nexus
[Nova Launcher] dboechat:
Hmm I didn't know JB's stock launcher did that. That's cool, now it's the second launcher with this feature that I know of (the other being GoLauncher). Hope to see this implemented in Nova soon.
[Nova Launcher] sabret00the:
It's also worth noting that Kevin said he'd work on refactoring in the Jellybean Launcher and thus that should accompany it.
[Nova Launcher] wilcomir:
if the reflow feature would be implemented, making folders would become impossible or at least much more difficult than now...

V
[Nova Launcher] natezire71:
It doesn't move and reflow as fast as you think. It has to be held in the spot you're attempting to place the app in. Trust me, I doubt Google implemented this feature and took away the ability to add folders. ;-)

[Nova Launcher] LGP970:
CM9

II installed that ROM CM9 on my LGP970. However, when I finished installing it, I do not have a way to access the Google Play Store and I cannot install any apllication, Does anyone know why or how I can fix it?

Thank you
[Nova Launcher] oddspec:
Wrong thread but u did t flash gapps lol
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Agreed...wrong thread, but you probably forgot to flash Gapps after flashing the ROM. That seems to me, to be the only way you wouldn't have the Play Store on your device. Check for Gapps, and flash them if you need to. If they're supposed to be included in the ROM, check with whoever built it, and ask them to troubleshoot with you.

Using icon packs

I've been using Nova launcher a while no, loving it to bits! But I can't seem to get icon packs working. Installed a few ADW Icon pack APK's (which other people said should work with Nova), but no matter what I do (relaunching Nova, rebooting,..), when going to "Settings > Look and Feel > Icon Theme" only "Default" is listed. Is there anything else I can do or try?
[Nova Launcher] enigma1981:
Is the icon packsa prime feature? Buy prime and try it..it's worth the money anyway!

Prime is worth the money for the gesture support alone. But the motivation it provides Kevin to continue on and keep the app updated is a major bonus. Ex-LPP customers know this all too well.
[Nova Launcher] xnotoriouzpakix:
for the desktop i was able to turn on infinite scrolling in nova settings, now i need this 'infinite scrolling' for my apps page too. any way to do this ?

i cant find it under drawer settings. i looked and looked and looked...just to confirm i do Menu->nova settings->Drawer

i only have 'scroll effect' , 'background transparency' 'drawer style' 'widgets in drawer' and the section for drawer groups.

am i looking in the wrong place?
[Nova Launcher] Tony_GPR:
for me this is the best launcher available in Google Play. I try all the different launchers.. and NOVA is the best! Keep on to good work!

[Nova Launcher] xnotoriouzpakix:
all good i still love the launcher
[Nova Launcher] JonesWTF:
I absolutely love this launcher! The one thing I'd love to see is a free scrolling effect in the app drawer. Like, you swipe left once and each page scrolls past instead of having to swipe each individual page. Just an idea :)

P.S. Thought I'd post this idea on the feature request page: http://feedback.novalauncher.com/fo...723-continuous-horizontal-paginated-scrolling
[Nova Launcher] DesignGrits:
For the love of God please remove the top bar when in horizontal mode! Not only does it take away from grid realistate, but its also looks horrible in horizontal/tablet mode. I don't understand how this has remained on Nova so long, it drives me crazy.
[Nova Launcher] sabret00the:
Turn off the option
[Nova Launcher] DesignGrits:
If I turn off the option it turns off the bottom dock bar too.
[Nova Launcher] cwhitney24:
Just stepping in to say this is working perfect on JellyBean. Thanks
[Nova Launcher] dmonzel:
You sure you don't have the widget out? I have Persistent Search Bar set to Always, and this is what I get:
[Nova Launcher] DesignGrits:
I am assuming that the bar was originally made for Google Search, because if I change the settings to persistant or always you can see the Google Search in that space like in your picture. What I am wanting to know is what does that space stay there if I change the settings to never? Nothing is there, nor can I place anything in that space because its outside of the grid space. It literally takes up space on the screen. I could remove the dock lines but that still does not remove the alotted space on the top of the screen. I am asking that this can be changed so if I set the google bar to never I should be able to use that space and the line should be gone.
[Nova Launcher] fresherthanU:
For people that didn't notice with beta 4 rls, there is an App Animation feature. I'm loving the JB animation... I hope you guys plan to add a few more animations..

Also, I've noticed that in the beta rls...the screen animation is a bit laggy (even set on Relaxed). I would assume this is because of the beta build but just thought I'd point that out. Keep up there good work guys!!

[Nova Launcher] BobbaLouie:
Where is this "volume down" button on a Kindle Fire? Surely it isn't a hardware button that most tablets wouldn't have? Or am I not comprehending?

Very frustrated that the latest beta (1.2.2b4) seemed to remove landscape tablet mode where the dock is on the bottom instead of the side. Works great in the most recent stable version, makes me think this is the plan for the future to make it have the dock on the side?
[Nova Launcher] Kurre:
Can't say since I haven't ever even seen Fire IRL :-) but if it doesn't have a hardware buttons for the volume, it's quite difficult to enter labs section..Maybe there is some way to emulate it (dunno if Nova would recognize it in that way). :(
[Nova Launcher] BobbaLouie:
Yup, that's what I was afraid of. Ironic the settings I wanted to fiddle with are unattainable on many tablets, the very people who would need to fiddle with the grid the most...
[Nova Launcher] sabret00the:
While I've never played with the Kindle Fire. All other Android tablets had hard volume buttons.
[Nova Launcher] nvillamob:
How can you change the look of a folder?

Novalauncher.com says "You can chose a background, preview style or even replace the whole icon. Settings > Desktop > Folders" but I don't have a folders option in that setting. has this option been removed?
[Nova Launcher] anoneemooz:
Hmmm I was just about to ask about folder transparency! I don't have this option either and I'm using Nova Prime and on the latest beta. Maybe it's planned?

I'm also hoping for a setting to make it so that folder names don't show at all (on the desktop) which Apex has. I like having dock icons as folders but I don't like seeing that space on the bottom of each opened folder dedicated to the name which I don't really want to put.. Even if I put a space to replace the "Unnamed folder" or whatever that's written by default, it still leaves me with well..an awkward space instead of the opened folder pop up being dedicated fully to the content.

Its under look and feel now at the bottom

Download button savior and grant it root access. It will then allow you to emulate hardware buttons onscreen even if you don't have the hardware buttons. I use it on my Nook Tablet if I get stuck without the proper buttons.

Another option would be to use folder organizer.
[Nova Launcher] FormelLMS:
Sorry, didn't read the last 250 pages of this thread. But I hope, someone can help me.

I'm using Nova Prime with Galaxy Nexus and Kindle Fire. Both with Jelly Bean ROM.

But I can't swipe widgets or icons to other places on the screens. I've placed widgets at the bottom, want to move it a bit above. Hold this for a second and it got placed on the old place and asked me to remove or resize it.

But I don't want to remove or resize it, I still want to move it on the screen and place it above. No way, I can't find a solution. Ths happens on both devices.

Can anyone point me to it, please?

Widgets not updating

I have notices for a while, that my gmail and Google+ widgets haven't been updating. I thought it might be because of custom ROMs etc, but today I thought it might be Nova. So I went back to the stock launcher, and the widgets updated no problem. I have a Galaxy Nexus on Verzon, and I it has been an issue in ICS and JB. Any thoughts?

[Nova Launcher] solarus2011:
Are you theming with a paid version or a free version. Only paid themes are having the problem - something to do with the way JB authenticates paid apps.
[Nova Launcher] HadenVR:
I have the nova paid version.

I changed an icon I put on my home screen which didn't refresh until I went to nova settings thus restarting it which worked for me o.o jelly bean 4.1.1 nova 1.2.2 beta 4

Just downloaded Nova Launcher from play store & also purchased Nova Prime to support the hard-working DEV , my only concern why is the version showing v1.2.1 instead of v1.2.2beta3 ?

Also how to update to the present version which i heard is v1.2.2beta4 !!

I entered nova settings & tapped "check for updates" but nothing happened !! Am i missing a trick ??
[Nova Launcher] dmonzel:
Did you hit the menu button and select beta?
[Nova Launcher] HadenVR:
I used the ics icons which can be found free on Google play which worked fine for me.

I'm amusing there's issues with paid themes at the moment with 1.2.2 beta 4 if that is what you were trying to clarify as I didn't run into any problems when changing icons on my home pages.

[Nova Launcher] tgmorris:
I'd be interested in an answer to this as well as I had it when I initially tried the launcher. No apps on the first page (other than when the page was in motion) was a showstopper for me.

I'd also really like to be able to import my current settings from the stock launcher so as to not have to reinvent the wheel. :)
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
The easiest thing you can do is download ROM Toolbox (either free or paid), scroll over to the Performance menu, and select "build.prop Tweaks". From there, you can adjust the slider for VM heap and other settings. I also have some sysctl tweaks set up, which have seemed to help keep things running smoothly, as well as RAM optimizations... I'm not sure what device you have, or what ROM you're running (I have a D3 running CM9), but if you want me to outline my entire setup, just PM me. :)

Font corruption

I occasionally get corrupted fonts (see screenshot below). Sometimes rebooting helps and sometimes not. I can't find any pattern to it yet. Has anyone else had the same thing? I am on Revolution HD2.1.2 with XXKK6 baseband.

I am now using Pure News Widget and it seems to scroll and update perfectly. Just great on a huge screen!

Any chance the dev is working on a fix for this?

[Nova Launcher] aNYthing24:
This launcher is excellent. Really sped everything up. Kudos.
[Nova Launcher] gaetawoo:
I corresponded with Kevin the Dev and he said old scrollable widgets use an old API to allow it that old launchers worked with. ICS natively supports it now but uses a different API to implement it. So either Kevin has to allow for the old API or the dev of the app you want to use has to program the scrollable widget to work with the new API.

I have the same problem with gReader Pro.
[Nova Launcher] Tonysil:
Kevin, launcher looks great but I'd like to throw my wishlist out there too. Most of these have already been mentioned but I would like to get my support behind them. I will be buying the pro version so I'm not worried about the features ending up there. Thank you!

Ability to hide apps in app drawer without disabling them

Swipable dock icons

Back up and restore homescreens

Status bar toggles

Hide labels in homescreens

Adjustable # of columns in app drawer

And credit to syborg for this one but I loved it - vertical drawer option. Up/Down for apps - scroll to the side to get to the widget drawer
[Nova Launcher] smashcz:
It would be great if we could add more apps to folder at once. One by one takes forever if you have lots of games.
[Nova Launcher] mtbgus:
I don't want this launcher to go the same way as some others in that it gets too big and bloated, keep it as it is now but with a few of the tweaks asked for. The whole point of the stock android launcher in my eyes is to be light weight but get the job done.

I ran go launcher ex for months on GB and it's a great launcher (maybe the best), but at the same time new features are added on sometimes a 2-3 times a week basis and the launcher just got bigger and bigger in size.

Or maybe do a light (on features) version and a heavy (on features) version.

Keep up the great work btw.
[Nova Launcher] e2zippo:
+1 on that!

Best ICS launcher out there!
[Nova Launcher] WithAria:
Good list, I would say.. But I guess some of them are already there with Beta 5. Like Multiple pages in the dock, back up and restore, hiding labels..

+1 for vertical drawer, status bar toggles and hide apps in the drawer and may be folders in the drawer as well :)

Btw, Great job by the dev... The best ICS launcher so far
