That's the tablet ui search bar, what android version are you on? I use to use that search bar as well, but don't anymore since I use zooper, but with android 5.0 and above i believe you need to grant Nova access as device manager in system settings for this to work properly.

I have a problem on my mate 8 with the background, is there maybe any solution?

tried many things, but never will show up properly ?
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Do you have wallpaper scrolling enabled? Try setting wallpaper thru gallery not nova or whatever app you may use for gallery like quickpic or focus.

Thebe?r'$ NeXu$
[Nova Launcher] MultiCulti:
nope,don't have scrolling enabled!

Tried already with different Galerie apps, and also the build in,nothing worked, but on the huawei Launcher it appeas as normal

edit: got it, had to enable "force scrolling background"

but its still static
[Nova Launcher] JohnnyEpic:
I choose gmail. It doesn't stop using Gallery.
[Nova Launcher] JohnnyEpic:
I did. In Labs there is no way to change it.

[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
What size is your image, and what size is your screen? Do you have padding enabled, and I don't know what your desktop options are, I wouldn't enable scrolling I would just want that pic filling the 1 screen but that is me. But only time I have seen that is when image isn't wide enough and wallpaper scrolling is enabled...

Is there a way to make a gesture to slide from left or right? That would be great.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
For what? You can use gestures on Nova pro. But only a few options. I swipe up to toggle the dock. Swipe down to show status bar. Double tap to sleep...

My phone runs 5.0.2... Didn't know it's the tablet bar. It worked fine and still does except for this bug Nova 4.3 introduced
[Nova Launcher] Namoi:
Hi everyone,

Probably impossible, but I am looking for a way to unlock/lock desktop via gesture (or other way). I am used to, sorry, Apex where this feature is available directly via menu key or shortcut and I miss this convenience.

Any help greatly appreciated :D
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Not a bug. It is a security feature patch by Google that you need to grant Nova device manager rights in settings for this to work. The search bar you speak of isn't tablet mode it is the old gingerbread search with the mic and 6 dot app drawer icon. Nova used to have a tablet mode version, which the Google logo on the left was all the way on the right with a line splitting it apart from the mic and app drawer icon. Try resizing the widget on your homescreen a tad (make smaller) and see if the double tap works.

I've been using Nova for 3 or 4 years and didn't know this existed either.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Ahh ok. Yeah I knew about the secret menu. Still shouldn't be setting your Gmail notification thru there. Should jus use tesla unread to choose all your notifications directed to what app. I'm done wasting time on it.

[Nova Launcher] Snowblond:
Everytime I reboot my device some of my customized icons reset to default. It also happens if I update an app.

Aside from that the customized name of an app in a folder resets to default if I reboot.

Any idea what to do about it? :confused:

It's really annoying having to change the icons over and over again..
[Nova Launcher] zelendel:
Do you have them installed on sdcard? If so that is your issue.
[Nova Launcher] Snowblond:
No, I don't have any apps or icon packs installed on my sd card.
[Nova Launcher] Pfeffernuss:
Same here.

It's especially annoying on the Calendar app (which I rename to "Agenda"). After 00:00, so when the icon dynamically changes to display the new date, often the name does as well.

And, as you say, indeed after updating an app. Not all of the time, sometimes. No idea what the logic is behind that.

So usually I just save the Nova settings regularly and when after updating too many names have changed I simply restore the backup and all names (and custom icons) are okay again. Quickest way when numerous apps have their name/icon altered, imho :good:
[Nova Launcher] sordna:
I know, and I did that. The bug I'm referring to is not inability to lock the screen. It's inability to "touch" the desktop when tapping between the mic and the 6 dots of the gingerbread search bar.

Before Nova 4.3 the empty space in between was touchable desktop, now when I touch it it highlights a circular area around my finger. Switch to that search bar for a moment and you'll see what I mean.

Nope, doesn't. Bug. The best thing about the gingerbread search bar is now gone with Nova 4.3. Set it and see :(
[Nova Launcher] ferolac:
is there anyway to fix blurry app icons in app-drawer? icons are crisp at homescreen and other launchers but they are blurry in nova's app-drawer. i have tried clearing cache from settings, icon cache from labs menu in nova settings and also if i clean install nova app-drawer icons become sharp again but after a restart they become blurry again. Please help me solve this.
[Nova Launcher] Snowblond:
I used to do the same but since I use Chronus as widgets I would have to reconfigure them everytime I restore the Nova settings. :/
[Nova Launcher] white7561:
Possible workaround.. Backup nova using titanium backup
[Nova Launcher] Snowblond:
Going to try that, thanks. :svetius:
[Nova Launcher] Snowblond:
I just tried it but it didn't work. When I restore the titanium backup some icons are set to default just like when I reboot.

Hi, sorry poor EN:

Nova is Best launcher for me, but I have a serious issue with Nova:

I have some folder's on dock bar & some icon's remove automatically from folders

My device: Xperia m5 dual (E5633)

Android 5.1 (stock)

Plz help me
[Nova Launcher] Sami Jildeh:
If you add the folder from the drawer to the dock bar any change to the original folder from adding or removing icons will apply to the folder at the dock bar.
[Nova Launcher] smfazel:
I just added icon's from drawer to home screen & created folder, then moved folder's from home to dock

Other question:

How can I sort drawer apps by installed date?
[Nova Launcher] JohnnyEpic:
[/COLOR]

I didnt use it to set the mail app. I clicked it to see the options. Some people use more than just Gmail app to get their email. I do use Tesla Unread. It wasn't supporting my app. Remembered seeing this setting. Checked it out. And now...

Can't unclick it. The notification won't go away. I turned off labs. Reinstalled everything. Still shows on my Gallery app. Its a bug. Its annoying. The only way is to erase everything and start over in Nova. All settings, themings etc.

Appreciate you wasting your time on it. I didn't ask you to, but I am grateful that you did. It's what makes this place so great. Keeps us paying customers from bombarding the dev with... time wasting emails.

[emoji3]
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Gotta be a way around it. Try just clearing data in tesla unread. Don't clear nova data. Or backup nova settings, uninstall nova. Reinstall nova and restore data. I know people use all sorts of different apps instead of gmail, there are much better email apps on the market, it impossible for any dev to check every app and make sure it works with their app, Nova may not recognize the email app you use. You can also try installing gmail and see if you can switch it to gmail or if it still won't change. And i was confused about your mentioning of labs, i thought you were selecting apps for tesla unread through there which didn't make sense... And worst case scenario is you have to clear out nova and start from scratch, it's not the worst thing in the world, I used to have set up 2 devices from scratch on a daily basis. Sometimes 2 or 3 times a day, and even worse there are people that do things to their devices that bricks them, so in the grand scheme a half an hour to an hour tops ain't that big of a deal... Hope you get working without having to go through all that though.

[MENTION=2587550]kevin@TeslaCoil[/MENTION], could you add "freeze user apps with root"? Check out Laser launcher. For example,you use messenger, then freeze it so it won't run on background and drain battery. and when you need messenger, you simply tap it's frozen icon,and it gets unfrozen and launched.Please answer. Thx
[Nova Launcher] JoshDaWhite:
Here are some screenies. I hope you will implement this feature...
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Never gonna see it here. Search the thread and read the op for posting bugs, requests, and any other questions directed toward the dev. This is for users to try to help other users if they have any issues.

Thebe?r'$ NeXu$
[Nova Launcher] zelendel:
That defeats the point of having a smartphone.
[Nova Launcher] JoshDaWhite:
I don't think so.There are apps we rarely use,and check out Laser launcher and see for yourself.
[Nova Launcher] zelendel:
If I have to freeze an app then I don't use it enough to keep it on my device. It's that simple. Also I'm not dumb enough to use fb apps lol. They are known to be the worst coded apps on the market. Good thing I don't know anyone that uses them lol
[Nova Launcher] d3kod3:
increasing the icon size of dock, Drawer and desktop makes it look lil blur. i mean it doesn't remain HQ anymore.

did anyone noticed ?
[Nova Launcher] pakitos:
That depends on the icon pack, how HD it really is.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
As stated above it depends on device dpi and dpi of icons in icon pack. If you resize the icons that are 144x144 in the icon pack to 192x192 they will blur a bit because you are increasing the size of the image causing it to stretch. So you may have to play with icon size to get the best look. Most icon makers will say in the description, icons look best at this size on most screens using nova or apex...

Thebe?r'$ NeXu$

---------- Post added at 03:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:44 AM ----------

A launcher should never have access to freezing apps. You can just do that through device settings. Or use an app like greenify to put apps to sleep and keep them asleep until you open them.

Thebe?r'$ NeXu$
[Nova Launcher] d3kod3:
My default DPI of my device is 320p and the stock icon size in Nova launcher is quiet small compared to trebuchet & google now launcher. However the same icon pack looks clean in GNL while it blurs in NL.
[Nova Launcher] pakitos:
Then stick to Laser Launcher. That seems like an awful option for a launcher.
[Nova Launcher] JoshDaWhite:
Yeah I reached the same conclusion (awful) ...

open app drawer on home button double tap not working

I have the double tap home button on my Note 3 set to open my app drawer. If I am in an app and then double tap the home button I can go to my app drawer where I can open another app. However, the second time I try to go the app drawer I am always taken back to my home screen. Once I am on my home screen I can again open an app, double tap to open the app drawer...but here is where the cycle repeats. The second time I select the app drawer I am taken back to home screen.

Any one else having this issue?

if i cancel double tap = lock screen, then finger scan works perfectly.....

Ghost Call

Hi all,

today I had 2 out ghost call. My phone was locked with pattern code, but 2 calls has been started. Nothing in the call register, so I supposed it was an app with phone permession and no call register permission. Is there are a log of Nova Launcher about generated calls ?
[Nova Launcher] Pfeffernuss:
Why would this be a Nova-related issue?

Because Nova has phone_call permission and I'm checking for a log of every application has this permission in order to understand why this happened.

[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Use CatLog or Matlog and search teslacoil. Nova only uses that permission so OK Google has full functionality. 99%of permissions are pretty standard, an app like Nova with millions of users are not making calls behind your back. I'd put my money on Facebook, Twitter, or whatsapp. 3 worst, most useless apps available.

Why is Nova still asking for root access to quickly open the notification bar while Action Launcher 3 and Lucid Launcher (for example) don't ask anything? I think Nova team has to find a new way to open this panel. They are closed-source apps and I was never happy to grant root to Nova. For now, I switch to Action/Lucid.

Flashable nova?

Sup, buds

Is it possible to make Nova flashable? I mean, i kinda ****ed up and uninstalled my only launcher, now phone wont boot (yeah i know, i ****ed up big time, dont laugh, just tell me if I can Flash nova or i have to reflash the whole rom again.)

If I can flash nova, then please can someone provide flashable zip (either if update.zip or nova.zip would work, i dont know...)

Thanks

You have access to adb? You can install with adb install nova.apk! Give it a try :)
[Nova Launcher] Crishien:
Well, me and ADB don't really get along, I might be doing something wrong, but it never works :rolleyes:

But... If you could teach me, I might give it a try. I guess I left everything enabled in my ROM, so it should work. The only problem is the computer, that never really sees any device (what might that be?)

Do you have some kind of in depth tutorial for absolete dummies (not that i'd be one, but i have to figure out what exactly might be the problem with adb...)?

Thanks in advance ;)
[Nova Launcher] joluke:
You need to look for drivers for your device. Apart from that use the command: adb devices

And see if it does detect it. You need to enable developer options in your phone (Google how to, it's easy).
[Nova Launcher] Crishien:
adb devices shows next

List of devices attached

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

[Nova Launcher] joluke:
Search here in xda: adb installer 1.4.3 and install it. Maybe it's missing some drivers but drivers are the issue. You need USB drivers for your device.
[Nova Launcher] Crishien:
hmm... downloaded, installed, still the same ****... I even made sure to disable driver signature verification on windows, still no luck, CMD shows the same thing....

So let's say I've got bunch of apps as a social tab

Now when I'm in the main app drawer away from my social tab I could be busy with other apps etc I have no way of seeing if something comes in at a glance with select apps (I choose to not show in the notification shade)

What if we were able to get a simple indicator next to the word social...

We could simply have an asterisk to highlight something has come in to the social tab and has at least one notification within that social tab...

What do you think?

[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Not to marginalize the issues you're experiencing, but I've only seen 2 or 3 complaints (including yours), in regards to the screen redraw bug. This may be something that a logcat could be beneficial for.

As for the widgets not updating automatically... as you've said, yours isn't an isolated incident, BUT, what does need to be looked at is whether or not the apps, who's widgets are giving you issues, are actually updated for ICS. The compatibility of third party apps, who's updates can't be controlled, isn't necessarily something Kevin can lose a lot of sleep over... now, if the Gmail or Google+ widgets weren't working, then there's a problem, since Google updates all their apps to function properly on a new OS. I seriously doubt that a stock market widget, or an audio widget not refreshing properly, is being caused by a launcher, your ROM, or any theme that you may have flashed...I would contact the devs of those particular apps, and ask them if they've truly updated for ICS.

Additionally, for anyone who IS experiencing issues with apps... I can do a compatibility thread, similar to the one I did for Spacemoose's Honeycomb builds, if there's enough demand for it. I suppose it would just be an ICS compatibility thread, since we all run different firmware, but it may be helpful. I just want to avoid the thread becoming bogged down with app issues, many of which Kevin can't do anything about. I also don't want to see people with good intentions, feel like they're being ignored... if there's a way to help you guys out, I'm all for it, so let me know if my idea interests you. As an example, the link to the Honeycomb compatibility thread is below.
