Kevin, Amazing launcher awesome job.

Would you consider slightly changing the margins (at least on the 5x4) layout?

djmcnz in his launcher mod got the margins to look real nice for that particular layout. I believe all that is required is to change the values in the res/values/dimens.xml file from:

workspace_cell_width 80.0dip to 85.0dip

workspace_cell_width 100.0dip to 95.0dip

1. is there any way to hide the horrible white line above the dock icons?

2. Also i dont want the tab bar at the top of the app draw, its usless once the phone is setup and prefer it hidden :)

Looking like a good launcher, will check back and try again soon!
[Nova Launcher] asianrage:
I love the launcher. It feels exactly like stock, but just more customizable, "mo' better". Yet, I'm trying to decide whether I should switch from my trusty ADW EX to this. The one main sticking point that prevent me from fully switching is the inability to resize the dock icons. Since I HATE how big the default icons size is set at, I love that ADW lets you resize the dock icons. Can you make this a feature of the launcher? For the PRO version even. Please?
[Nova Launcher] AeroEchelon:
Two bug reports:

Sometimes the option I've selected for Home Screen gets ignored and reverts to "Show Previews" regardless of the setting I've chosen

After swiping from left to right in the app drawer, once I enter the second page of widgets then immediately swipe back to the Apps Section (two pages to the left) NovaLauncher FCs.

Does anybody have the beta5.apk? This was the most stable one which I have found ZERO issues. Great work!

Nova Launcher

I have all due respect for any developers of the Nova Launcher. I am a long time GNU/Linux user (over 6 years with Fedora (still remaining my go to) and 3 with debian based), and I have seen many changes brought about by a FOSS community. I do however like my software to be polished. I know it doesn't start that way, and sometimes it doesm't stay that way (Linux Mint for example). I just want to say that the Nova launcher is not as polished as it could be. Switching from one page to the other is not as smooth as the standard google one. By this I mean the amount of background scroll compared to the amount of foreground scroll is off (its not supposed to be the same, I know, but it is not in the perfect ratio as the stock launcher is). Also, when getting to the last page, the tilt of the background is not only too drastic, but the screen is offset too far from the edges of the tilted background. I do not know how to describe it better, but as a person who does not like apple (it sets itself as a company for the people ( but apple tries to be hippie for hippies, putting down other companies for growing too large or getting too much of a market share, while apple itself does just the same, did you not hear about the recent apple purchase of , sorry I can't remember the name, TV, its trying to make a television; but when it does it will easily become much worse than microsoft.because it does not allow anyone else to produce hardware for it) Anyways, I could go on and on, this launcher needs to have just a little more polish. Stock ICS, I beat iOS people with their iphone against my Galaxy Nexus, but with Nova not quite as much, it just doesn't feel as good. Say what you want, but more polish it needs. It might be because I strayed from the standard number of rows and columns, but I hope for these these two things to be better. ( I know these aren't easy issues, but they have been accomplished many times over by open source communities ( I know you hate GNOME SHELL, but I love it) and I'm willing to help) Best of Luck to You

If you want to show text on the widget, click the wrench on top of the widget.

Trebuchet/CM10.1/KindleFire:

Nova201/CM10.1/KindleFire:

Above is a side by side comparison. I can switch to Trebuchet, set the wallpaper with Image 2 Wallpaper app, switch back to Nova and it's OK for a while. Eventually Nova resets it to zoomed whether it reboots during that time or not.

You can try to backup your Widgets with Titanium Backup while your on TouchWiz and then try to restore them when you're on an AOSP rom. Its worth a shot. I was able to get a couple of Sense Widgets working this way on Cyanogenmod with no problems ;)

Nova works fine for a majority of users. There are no serious bugs and a lot of users are happy with it 'THE WAY IT IS'.

So I just wonder what kind of 'updates' you expecting ...you having problems with it or you just want an update for updates sake?

Wallpaper zoom

At least I am not gong crazy! I am thinking this must somehow be an issue with the current Android builds. I am getting the same issues in Apex and when I try to use Wallpaper Wizardrii in either launcher. I can get it to work for a while, but then it will suddenly revert (sometimes seems random, but a reboot will always cause the zoom) ... basically the same thing you are describing. I was having some luck with Go Launcher EX, but I didn't care for it otherwise. It's making it really tedious to build a home screen using the wallpaper as a background element for some widgets.

Great launcher mate, im using it for a few months now together with the bought "prime" functions and love it. There is one thing that would make it even more appealing (at least to me). Lately i ahve seen the competitions "next launcher 3d" and i totally liked the effect on it in the app drawer, where it has a cube like effect and the whole "surface/side" of the "cube" is a bit shaded/alpha shading, so one can see it rotate, like in the middle screenshot in this picture http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-irXV0IpGJ...r+for+android+3d+free+download+play+store.jpg

As well as something like the 3d caroussel some launchers have. example https://lh5.ggpht.com/fTaVfgBwdYKM__RnOPquw5ZLhj_NtU3feLtJfOahYtONudRdXBG_GiJe91gCEthNng=h230

Re: [APP 4.0+] Nova Launcher - 2.0.1 Feb 26 2013

Well, a million optional glitzy ui features could be added - just witness the thousands of requests in this thread for such features.

Read enough of this thread, though, and one gets the distinct impression that the main goals of this launcher are speed, productivity, simplicity, similarity to the standard launcher, and not gui glitz or feature bloat, optional or not.

As others have said, adding features (again, optional or not) complicates the code base, adds more likely failure points, bloats the code, adds more for the developer to maintain, and seems to go against the ethos of this launcher anyway.

Of course, YMMV.

I have the same problem.Changing the icon size setting in Nova will resize the dock icons, but the home screen icons never change. I'm using a 10x5 grid. I've tried different sizes 110%, 120%, etc... Rebooting makes no difference - the icons just won't change and are too small to click when using a larger than stock grid. I've got a Galaxy Nexus with JB 4.2.2. Any ideas why I can't get them to change?
[Nova Launcher] michigan66:
Re: [APP 4.0+] Nova Launcher - 2.0.1 Feb 26 2013

You need to make your grid size smaller. The icons are probably as big as the grid will allow. 10 x 5 is a pretty small icon size. Install desktop visualizer free from the play store. Create a widget and resize it to any size you would like.
[Nova Launcher] hobbes105:
Thanks, but I don't think that will work for me. I'll end up with 30 - 40 widgets just to make each icon appear bigger.

I only use the bigger grid to be able to position the widgets that I do use exactly where I want them, but the side effect of that with Nova is super tiny icons. I was using GoLauncher and ADW before this and always had the grid set to the max size for the same reason. Both of those launchers either kept the icons at a usable size or I was able to make them larger, even with a 10x10 grid in them. I may just go back to one of them.

I don't get it - how can having the ability to increase the grid to a larger size, like 12x12 be useful if your going to end up with super small icons that are hard to click?

It's been mentioned repeatedly.
[Nova Launcher] hobbes105:
Of course 12 columns or rows is way too much on a smaller phone screen, but what is does do is give you more control over the size of you widgets. I just wanted the icons to be bigger and somehow both of the other two launchers that I've used do that. Just wanted to know if there was some way that I haven't seen to stretch the icons to a normal size. It's ok, I settled on the 10x5 grid. I can position the widgets like I want with this size and the icon size isn't too bad, but a little bit larger would be nice.

Other than this, I really like Nova - I was having re-draw issues with ADW and GoLauncher. That has stopped with Nova and it just seem more responsive and smoother now.:D

Can I suggest to have the "lock the desktop" option on the first page of the option menu? It's a pain to open nova settings, open desktop settings, then tap lock the desktop. And before I get pounced on about the instant unlock while on the home screen, I personally find that feature useless when doing any real modifications to your home screens.

Thanks
