the SDcard doesnt get touched. The phone is galaxy nexus that does not have a sd slot.

Something else is going on here.

For example the files i have in the folder sdcard\Data\com.teslacoilsw.launcher\backup are

The bolded ones are the ones i can see in the restore on my current rom

the italicized ones are backups actually taken on another rom. When in that other rom they are the only ones i see.

Any other information to hunt this down?

[Nova Launcher] schukje:
Please make transparency in app drawer. Then i will upgrade to prime :)

Grtz from Holland
[Nova Launcher] ian_ajah:
ok i see..

thanks all:)
[Nova Launcher] danman7:
If we wish to upgrade to Prime, will our current configuration be saved? Do we need to uninstall the Beta and install the Market version? What are your recommendations?
[Nova Launcher] phoenixs4r:
Don't see it in market. Edit: Never mind, I can access it through the app. Bought and paid for, thanks!

Is prime a key? Or a full app? If app can it install itself to system or is that manual?

Thanks.
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Prime is an unlock key, so upgrade to Nova Launcher 1.0 then purchase Prime and you'll get the new features. No need to uninstall/reinstall as 1.0 installs on top of the betas and Prime is just an unlock, not a replacement app.

Market version behaves the same as the preview beta APKs, if it's manually moved to /system it will have the widget permission, but if not it will request root to access the permission anyway. Without root or system app no widgets-in-drawer.

If you're not seeing Nova Launcher on the market yet you can update from the beta just like normal (Settings > Check for updates). Or get the apk from the APK link at http://novalauncher.com/ . If you're not seeing Prime in the market you probably just need to wait a bit as the Market sometimes delays. If Google doesn't allow paid apps in your country there's a paypal link at http://novalauncher.com that will email you an unlock code to use with Nova Launcher 1.0 to get prime features.
[Nova Launcher] phoenixs4r:
Cool, I got it going. I had to reboot the system to get it to actually unlock the prime features. Dunno if that's a glitch because its installed as system. All is well now thanks again!
[Nova Launcher] danman7:
By the way, the Prime application name is misspelled in the market. Currently it reads "Nova Lanucher Prime".
[Nova Launcher] XlAfbk:
"Hide apps" crashs Nova 1.0 with Prime purchased. Other Prime features do work.

Also, could you please hide the "Nova Launcher Prime" menu item when Prima was purchased?
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Oops. Fixed (can take a while to show up).
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Try opening it again. It always seems to crash the first time.

[Nova Launcher] scumm_boy:
Thank you so much for putting Prime out so quickly! Its with the money for gestures alone!
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Can you try via App Drawer > Apps > Configure... rather from Settings (shouldn't make a difference but worth trying).

Good point. I'll keep this in mind.
[Nova Launcher] tyraelasd:
Already buy it for the hide apps feature and swipe actions, but I have to say that the new screen/drawer transitions are pretty bad. Hope you release new ones within time. I think the money worth it.
[Nova Launcher] XlAfbk:
another Prime crash: When changing 2 gestures Nova FCs. Doesn't matter if I do it in a row or quit prefs first.
[Nova Launcher] grifforama:
3 downloads currently stuck at 33, 34 and 64%
[Nova Launcher] dmarden:
Just thought I'd share why I am buying Nova Prime (even though there is another similarly feature-rich (so far) ICS launcher that is free (so far)). Very easy. When I used to use Widget Locker, the development was consistent and the support responses to issues and requests was fast and helpful.

Not a knock to anyone else's product, but Tesla has a great track record to warrant the purchase.
[Nova Launcher] XlAfbk:
Doesn't make a difference. It shows the app list for like half a second, then FCs.

logcat:

logcat of the gestures crash:
[Nova Launcher] pckoloji:
just bought it and gestures are really cool.

normal & double finger swipe make more possibilities :)

1- sometimes when i try to change default swipe settings, nova is crashing.

2- apps menu clicking configure crashing = nova settings > drawer > hide apps, nova crashes

update: after repeating those problematic settings a few times, seems to be working fine now. i guess after loading list of my apps 1st time successfully, no more issues? maybe some another reason i don't know.
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Looking into the crash in gestures/hide apps. (It's the same issue, something with loading the app icons).
[Nova Launcher] donj001:
I've been endorsing Nova since I discovered it around beta 9, so I put my money where my mouth is and purchased prime. Love this launcher

Sent from my "Creamed Glacier"
[Nova Launcher] alphanu22:
Nova's came a long way, Ive had Nova Installed since its Birth...

Thanks Kevin!
[Nova Launcher] XlAfbk:
thx (for looking into crash)!

why is it that drawer and homescreens have scroll effect but dock doesn't? bug?
[Nova Launcher] demarcmj:
It seems that "dock swipes" don't work on folders in the dock, even though it let's you assign a swipe action.

Also...

The only person on the market so far who's given prime anything less than 5 stars is some moron who didn't restart Nova after buying and therefore gave it 1 star.
[Nova Launcher] dmarden:
I'll make a suggestion for this on the site, but thought I ought to post it here (since there are a couple of closed suggestions similar and I wouldn't want this to be mistaken for that.

When you long press on the screen, there is a wrench there to get to Nova Settings. Would love if you'd make a little room (maybe make the add to home screen text a little smaller) and add an icon for system settings. That way both Sys and Nova settings are quick and easy to get to.
[Nova Launcher] pckoloji:
tested and agreed
[Nova Launcher] davidyannick:
Just bought good job
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
I've updated the first post to include some known issues. Repeated here for convenience:

Known issues

Crash when selecting Gesture or when hiding apps (Expect to be fixed in 1.0.1)

Dock swipes do not work on folders (Possibly will be fixed in 1.0.1 maybe later)

Nova sometimes does not correctly detect Prime (Possibly related to be installing as a system app). Try restarting Nova and if that doesn't work email me your google order number and I'll send a code.
[Nova Launcher] dmarden:
Only mentioning in case there is some way I can help with testing. I do not have any crash issues even though I have many apps hidden and swipe actions on both dock icons and the home screen.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
How is this launcher related? :confused:

D3 AOKP
[Nova Launcher] dmarden:
Because I assume he means he is having trouble downloading from the Nova site directly (and it was an option given by the OP). Just download it from the Market when you can.
[Nova Launcher] alphanu22:
all i did was restart 2 times and it fixed all thoes above issues. i bet there was a issue going from beta15 to v1-
[Nova Launcher] Sharpbarb:
Just bought Prime!

Very excited to take this launch for a test drive.

When I first downloaded this from the market, everything seemed okay. I had a Prime icon in the Apps drawer and was able to enable one of the Prime only scroll effects. At some point, while I was adding all my widgets and App shortcuts, Prime disappeared. The Prime icon disappeared, and none of the Prime options were available in the Settings, Which is funny, because the Prime only scroll effect is still active.

Restarting the phone fixed the problem, but the Nova Launcher Prime icon is still missing from the app drawer.

Wierd.
[Nova Launcher] alphanu22:
the Prime Noca Icon is just a purchased Icon, its not a app-

Itll go away and merge into 1 Nova App Icon-
[Nova Launcher] sjgore:
Yep, about 10 minutes after purchasing Prime, Nova started asking me to upgrade to Prime and stopped letting me use Prime features.

EDIT: Uninstalling Prime and reinstalling it made all the Prime options come back.
[Nova Launcher] brunoisa10:
Very good work about the folder Icon and the way to display the applis

why haven't you done the same for the expander folder Background ? Black png is really sad in all these nice things.
[Nova Launcher] tyraelasd:
Already paid for it. Have to say that its the best ICS launcher arround here. Hope you can update those screen transitions that arent very good as I expected :)

Great work guys!
[Nova Launcher] bxray:
Any plans for nova launcher to be on optimus v??
[Nova Launcher] aergern:
Been using this since Beta 1 and I like it. I did purchase from the market about 30 minutes ago .. nice job.

You might want to tell people to reboot after this install or the Nova Launcher and Nova Launcher Prime procs seem to get stuck and end up taking up close to 70-75 megs of ram. After a reboot it's much smoother with about a 30% reduction in memory used. I realize the Nexus and quite a few other phones have lots of ram these days but still. :)
[Nova Launcher] dmarden:
Only if the Optimus V gets ICS/4.0.1+.
[Nova Launcher] Fabipro:
Nice Update to the Prime version, thanks!

Will it possible to use the gestures in apps like the lmt launcher?

Would love the see that 'without navigation bar" :D
[Nova Launcher] WingnutStrikesBack:
Ohh man. No honeycomb homescreen transition effect...
[Nova Launcher] adamski123:
Trebuchet launcher has the hc transition effect.just use that instead.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Ah, ok, no worries then. Since it's release day, the download server may just be overloaded. If there's a real problem, I'm sure Kevin will get it sorted out. :)

[Nova Launcher] wanderfowl:
Just purchased the Prime upgrade. This is such good software that buying the full version and supporting the Dev is a no-brainer.
[Nova Launcher] StevenBX:
Been really enjoying Nova so bought Prime this afternoon - really like the new gestures!

I also rooted this afternoon and installed the root version using the update zip file on the first page of this thread and then re-updated to 1.0 Prime. I see a few of my system images/styles (dialog boxes, etc.) have changed - is this to do with the root version? Any quick way of getting the clock back to the GS2 stock font? I've never really liked the weird rounded off font Android uses.

Only criticism so far is that the widget drawer looks weird, with the faint blue boxes drawn round them sometimes - why is this? Why do only some have the outline? Is this an ICS thing? Also, I don't like how the Apps and Widgets drawers continue on from one another. I'd rather they were seperate - i.e. if you scroll to the end of Apps, you don't scroll over on to Widgets. It feels weird for the little blue position indicator at the bottom to show you your position in the entirety of the Apps AND Widgets too.
[Nova Launcher] Nucleotide:
Fantastic to see it out of beta and on the market. :)

Great work.
[Nova Launcher] im.nick.hello:
just found out its out of beta...

off to buying nova prime!
[Nova Launcher] orihuri:
Worth every penny :D
[Nova Launcher] GreenTuxer:
Hi there!

Here's my suggestion, or maybe a request for help, if it's a feature that already exists and I'm not aware of.

How about importing the settings from the default launcher? I have many icons and folders, importing those would save the users a lot of work...
[Nova Launcher] frenccw:
It is on the feature request list already. I wouldn't put your hopes up too high for it though considering that all launchers before ICS did not manage to do it. Just suck it up for a day and put your homescreens back together :cool:
[Nova Launcher] xceleration:
Omg! Dock swipes are finally here! Bought prime just now as well! This is such a nice launcher! Glad to switch over after launcherpro has been abandoned since forever! Thanks Kevin!

I noticed that the uservoice/feedback link is down at the moment and not working. So I figured I'd comment here instead:

I was wondering if it would be make the grid size even more expandable, say up to 10 instead of 7x7. Actually I used to use 8x8 on Launcherpro and it allowed me to customize the placement/sizes of my widgets/icons even more freely. It's not a big deal but it would be awesome if the grid size was expanded slightly more!

Anyways, thanks again for such a great launcher!
[Nova Launcher] saebafr:
Hello Kevin, thanks for your work. Just a question. In settings i unchecked labels under icons, but now i have some space under folder instead of the name. Is there à way to change that?

Thanks

just giving you a heads up.... updated to 1.0 via the update check did a backup. installed the new rom updated to 1.0 via the update check and the restores are not there. Just like all my previous attempts. GRRRRRRRR

Best app for ICS :P

Is anyone else having problems with the Pandora widget since installing 1.0? After launching Pandora from the widget, the quick controls don't show up and clicking on the widget wont even bring me back to Pandora.
[Nova Launcher] sabbotage:
I was curious to what the option to rearrange settings does. I thought it meant you could move the nova settings up or down the list but I can't find the option. Anyone know what this option does?
[Nova Launcher] cgollner:
Love this! Thanks :D
[Nova Launcher] frenccw:
Congrats for leaving beta! Bought the app right away for Prime features :) My ICS launcher is perfect now with dock swipes and hide apps. Any more features will be icing!
[Nova Launcher] crea78:
I noticed that some of my apps in the app drawer are not in alphabetical order with Nova Launcher Prime. I know I cannot sort them yet, but has this happened to anyone else?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Have you hidden any apps? If so, I think that new apps or updates, move to the end of the app drawer for a while for some reason, but over time, they will sort themselves out.

[Nova Launcher] jaydotelloh:
Just noticed that when applying a custom folder background, it will not take effect unless you choose "restart nova launcher" in the options.

Ex. I selected an initial custom image, which was apply with no other action, but when changing it again, restarting nova launcher is required to make the changes take effect.
[Nova Launcher] crea78:
Yeah, I have hidden some apps like u said. I will see if they sort themselves out.
[Nova Launcher] chuckenfoot:
I purchased prime...had the regular nova installed. On the market is shows I purchased prime but when I try to use the prime features it says I need to upgrade still. Any ideas?

Beautiful Widgets (not a SuperClock). Matted Blues theme.

Someone asked the same question earlier today (not to mention several times in the thread), but with all the excitement over the Market launch and Prime features it's now dropped back several pages.

Hi there, I did the paypal payment, should I receive an email or something with the APK ?

You can't turn it "off", but you can set gestures to show/hide or expand status bar and notifications.

nova prime needs infinite scroll on app drawer, then it would be perfect
[Nova Launcher] mcardielo:
I mate, is there a chance that prime version was little cheaper? I now that 4 bucks is not a big deal for someone but for others (like me) is a little bit more complicated, I don't want to underestimate your job in fact is awesome but i really hope that you consider it.

Market is showing me no love today. :( Tried several times to buy prime but market says I have no phones registered to the account, if I tried it from a web browser on my computer. I'm signed in from the phone and I can see my apps and even updated some of them today but, if I try and install a new one, it just gives me an error from the market app on the phone. :confused: It's not Nova though. Something borked at Google. Says that for all my apps, even the ones in my library. :mad:

[Nova Launcher] b.huss2:
OMG 4 bucks?! I been using this from the beginning and I'm all for supporting developers but 4 bucks? I think 2 would have been reasonable but 4 is a slap in the face.

Right now i'm come from Market and purchase Nova Prime, really guys congratulations for the great work, continue right this! The new features are very useful...

[Nova Launcher] Vulpix:
... And how is 4 bucks a slap in the face?
[Nova Launcher] SirKronan:
Yes!! :D

I don't think $4 is necessarily a slap in the face, but I agree that it is too high. I was thinking $2 as well, and at that price, I'd be more than happy to pay and support the dev, but as it stands $4 only gets me gestures I'll never use, the ability to hide drawer apps (which is coincidentally the option I used most of my votes on for his development voting thread), and a few extra scroll options, it's hard to shell out the money. When I noticed Prime was available, I was all set to pitch in and support the dev, but not at $4. If they do a sale to $2 I'll be more than happy to pay. That's what I paid for launcher pro plus, and look where it got me. Don't even use it anymore, and it went for long periods of time with no support or updates. My comfort was that I was only out a couple bucks.

If I spend $4 on this and it happens again, it's a $4 investment instead. That's the main reason I'm hesitant to shell out $4. Put it at $2, no problem. That's a couple of drinks. $4 for me is a complete meal. I'd rather buy the complete meal than a couple of home screen transitions.
[Nova Launcher] xxproblemzxx:
Why is everyone freaking out over just $4? It may seem be a bit high for an app but In fact that price is very reasonable. Both adw ex and launcher pro plus costed about $3.50 and for all the hard work the dev has put it, i say more power too him. Ive been using nova from the start and I'm glad to support the dev, if $4 is out of your budget, then don't get the prime version.
[Nova Launcher] Gahh Its Lee:
To me its kinda an fu because I feel like we've been using it and testing it now its like OK pay up. Its semi annoying.
[Nova Launcher] nxt:
Yeah $4 is a bit high, if it's $1.99 I'll buy it with no hesitation or second thought.
[Nova Launcher] dw9906:
$4.00 is cheap. I don't see the problem.
[Nova Launcher] Vulpix:
Oh great. Again with the whole "I tested the app I AM ENTITLED TO PERKS" attitude. He didn't force you to take part in this testing. He opened it for all to test and made no promises to keep it free. It's fine if you want to complain about the price, but I don't like it when people feel they are entitled to something that was opened to everyone to test out.
[Nova Launcher] DominoDoug:
I'm glad someone else brought it up first. I feel $4 is too high as well. I wouldn't have thought twice at $2.99 but at $4 I can survive without whatever extras there are.

But seriously thanks for making a great launcher.
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
I put a lot of thought into pricing and feel $4 is right. I also put a lot of thought into being a paid-only app or paid and free. I decided on a fully functional (no expiration or trial) free version, that includes all the features of the beta (plus new folder customizations options) and optional paid features. I'm still debating over the showing of the Prime features in settings for the free version as I don't want to annoy people but also want people to be aware it is available.

I definitely appreciate all the testing and feedback the users of this thread (and elsewhere) has provided and I am happy to offer the free version of Nova Launcher to everyone. If you don't think the Prime features are not worthwhile then by all means stick to the free version. Maybe at some point Prime will interest you, but if it doesn't then that's fine too.

Also I really appreciate all the support people have shown buy purchasing Prime, both for the extra features and to support development of the launcher.
[Nova Launcher] chakra:
I look at it like donating for an app I like. If I didn't think it was worth it I would just use apex.
