Yep, I've had this forever (latest release... Release before that too). I figured it may only work when you have certain drawer types set (like the infinite flow option only works for horizontal, not vertical). Just tested it and you seem to be right... It is a bug. No matter which I set, it doesn't work.

Kevin doesn't read this board, so it'll need to be posted elsewhere (g+?).

When I unlock my phone, the first gesture I do doesn't work, only the second one. For example, I have to swype up twice.

Is this a bug or is this a fix?

Still no visual feedback when touching an app in the app drawer. Beta #21
[Nova Launcher] irish_711:
Long press on the app and drag it to "Edit". Uncheck all the boxes, you're app is now hidden. If you're looking for a hidden app, you can just pull down in your app drawer and a search function pops up. Keep in mind, I don't use the tab bar. So maybe there's another way.

Smooth as butter, best launcher tried. Now with the "materinova" look is also better than before and in line with Google's material design.
[Nova Launcher] andrewilley:
I think the jury is still out on that one. Not a big fan of Google's material design here. At least Nova is no worse for aping Google's latest trendy meddling, but I'm not sure that it's a major improvement either. At least it doesn't have stupid floating icons and other distractions all over the place like the latest release of Google Maps.

[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Material design blows. Fruity color, fab button, crazy headers, etc hopefully will soon be gone along with all these white bgs and rainbow colored toolbars bleeding into the statusbar. I despise material design and have no issue with Nova 3.3. Screw google and their stupid guidelines, if I wanted that crap I would just ditch my android and use my iPhone.

I'm still facing choppy animations in drawer while changing tabs while a friend of mine doesn't with his G2.

Anyone else with a Samsung device and a TW based Rom to confirm?

I know it's still in beta btw, I'm not whining. I'm just asking to check if it's just my phone (Note 4) or there's indeed lag here and there in the drawer.

Thank you in advance.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Check your system animations in settings, usually in developer settings. They should be set to . 5 scale for Samsung devices.

Depends on the rom I'm using. Note 3 tmo DomPoP version 5.0 did but version 5.3 doesn't. Alliance rom doesn't either.
[Nova Launcher] _Sofos_:
Thank you both for your answers.

I'm not going to change the whole phone's system animations speed tho just to get faster but still choppy behavior in Nova.

I just tried stock 5.0.1 BOB3 (Note4 user) after a clean installation and it's still happening so I guess it's indeed there for some users.. anyway, rolling back to the last stable version.

Still it's a nice update and to think it's still in Beta stage. Great application from a great dev.

[Nova Launcher] pkelly517:
Are you going to ask this every day?

No.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
You should change them to . 5, you will find the phone runs smoother overall and lag on most/all applications will disappear. It is usually set at 1 0 for whatever reason. You should also make sure gpu rendering is turned off. These are known tips in Samsung devices and if you are uncomfortable doing this you can check in your roms thread or ask in your device's forum for suggestions. Being a Samsung user for years myself, I have picked up little tips and tricks to get the best performance out of my devices.

That's OK if nova doesnt include swipe feature but the overlay feature is already included in beta , so it should be improved man ....

[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Not sure what overlay you speak of, but you were asking for an option that is not possible with Nova at the time. You hate gnl, yet you are now using a launcher that is based on the gnl... Sorry but that makes 0 sense. Plus on top of that there is a beta channel for Nova where issues or suggestions are to be posted, it is not here on xda. The dev of Nova hasn't been on xda in months... Year maybe. Follow the instructions of the beta channel and you may get a better answer there than whst I and others have explained to you over and over again.

No I don't use betas. I am not a beta tester. Once again these questions should be posted in the beta channel and not here on xda. The Dev does not follow here. There are instructions to the proper method of doing this. I do know what an overlay is, unfortunately you do not know how to post a screenshot. And once again as I have told you and many others to answer your original question, it is not possible at this time. If you have an issue or a suggestion for the beta, refer to the beta channel most likely on g+ to voice your opinion.

[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Done trying to help you after this, I presume English is not your 1st language. Beta testers should read and follow directions from here http://novalauncher.com/beta/.

Screenshots work fine from xda mobile, here is my search overlay in a screenshot . Once again, whatever it is you are asking about cannot be answered or addressed here. Your original question was to implement gnow screen from swipe left from home screen which can not be done at this time. Any other issues or requests should be made following directions I posted in beta test link I provided above. Simple as that. The developer Kevin does not refer to this thread and your issue or opinion will go unnoticed by him.

[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Never said anything about your country. I am trying to help you and there is a miscommunication going on.

Follow directions in that link. Even if Kevin glances thru this thread which I doubt he does you will get more support and answers by following the beta channel.

If that's the case, why did he rename the thread Nova Launcher 4.0+?

New Nova Launcher needs a lot of work. What they should have done is just taken 3.3 and themed it rather than re-invent the wheel. Make it a toggle option to switch between Holo and Material.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Name is based off of launcher 2 Android 4.0 launcher. Nothing to do with build # of Nova. Other suggestion is not that simple. You may toggle between a light and dark theme but not between a material or a holo theme. I am just trying to help users in the proper method of posting bugs and requests. This thread is not the place for it. Read and follow the directions in the link I posted, you will get better answers and quicker responses by following the dev's instructions for the beta channel.

Btw. Does anyone have the latest 3.3 Beta(4?)? I lost my backup of it and don't see it on their site, only the Material Betas. I see it hosted on a bunch of sites but they aren't any reputable ones I recognize.

[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Got ya. Unfortunately I doubt there will be any help forthcoming anymore about those builds as I think all free time and energy would be focused on the material Nova build. I personally will continue to use 3.3 as I'm not a fan of launcher 3 or material design. I always keep a backup of my apps before I update to newer versions as newer does not necessarily mean better. I know it's not the best answer but maybe email Kevin again. With millions of users and keeping up with the beta channel I'm sure he is swamped.

The 4.0+ in the thread name means that the app is for Android 4.0 and upwards only...
[Nova Launcher] SyCoREAPER:
Thing is when I emailed it wasn't Kevin that I got a reply from if I recall. If the Material layout was identical, and the only thing that changed was visual, I wouldn't mind using it. Huge issue however is the speed at this point. While the G3 is certainly not the King of Phones, it certainly shouldn't lag on my phone (despite being beta). I don't know, I hope they get it sorted out but I think it will be a long while.

This has already been established.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Huge changes between old and new. Not just visual. In my opinion launcher 3 material is 2 steps back. The biggest issue right now is trying to implement old features into new base. Literally 1000s of lines of code need to be rewritten. The beta is just that a beta, expect it to have bugs, with beta testers help and not just stating what doesn't work or asking for requests, following the beta channel guide a stable release will be out quicker. Lag is usually due to restoring bad data. When jumping to a new build data shouldn't be restored unless told by the Dev to do so. Other options would be to just wait for a stable release or playing with system settings of animation scale in developer options. The g3 is a top of the line device, may not be the best but is definitely a top 10 available. A launcher should not cause any lag on a newer device such as that.

I think a launcher has to open my apps as fast as possible. and this is the fastest method to open my apps. every app i use is on my homescreen. no second screen, no widgets. after a few days you know where every app is on the screen. simple :)
