Hi people! Are you having tesla unread working on this last update with your Whatsapp? In fact I use Whatsapp plus, but I would like to know if tesla is working for you properly either in Whatsapp or Whatsapp plus.

I updated yesterday night but it's not showing unread messages on w+ icon. I had to go back to tesla 3.0, thanks I had a backup made with titanium...

At the moment there is no auto back up feature on Nova.

About folder size it set to auto size and you cannot change it.
[Nova Launcher] Nidzo80:
Black bar in Drawer where should be transparent area when Small Tabs are selected. Bar overlays icons.

Version 3.1.1 beta2 also in latest 3.2. version

Device: Sony Xperia T (LT30p)

OmniROM based ROM KitKat 4.4.4

ROM is themed to look like Xperia so that could be problem too but I must start from somewhere. Maybe you can point me in right direction ;)

I compared with two other launchers and Tab area is transparent.

Thanks in advance.

mmmm...i don't know,am i the only one who use a launcher to get rid of the crappy stock looks and who didn't give a crap about L looking icons? :confused:
[Nova Launcher] coolhof:
No you're not alone.

For me the same.

I hate stock launchers.

Especially fom sammy.
[Nova Launcher] hundred_miles_high:
On the latest update from Play store for TeslaUnread plugin I am no longer getting any unread counts for SMS on my Galaxy S3 - email and missed calls still work ok.

I have rolled back to a pretty old version of TeslaUnread that I had backed up and SMS unread counts work again.

I'm using a TouchWiz based ROM (Imperium 27.1, XXUGND1 - JB 4.3) with AOSP messaging, so i'm wondering if the app is now looking for the TouchWiz SMS app due to the ROM base rather than the default SMS app (AOSP)?

Has anyone else had a similar issue and found a fix?

Any chance of getting the swipe right to Google now from the home screen like in the Google now launcher
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Doubtful. And if I may ask, why? Worst feature of the gnl. Just say ok google from any screen. Brings up gnow.

Sorry wich one is the "Lollipop Scroll indicator"

Sorry wich one is the "Lollipop Scroll indicator" (Settings – Desktop – Scroll Indicator) the 2nd or 3rd ? :confused:

Regards
[Nova Launcher] vrwmiaris1:
The 2nd is the lollipop one and the 3rd is kitkat, both are sweat m8!
[Nova Launcher] glimmertin1:
Thak you ;)
[Nova Launcher] sordna:
Currently no. Nova would need device administrator access to do this (like the 3rd party screen on/off apps have).
[Nova Launcher] FoferX:
Yep. And set the Google Now widget (maximized) as your leftmost screen.

I also set a gesture so that swiping up from the Application drawer icon, opens up Google search app, which incorporates Google Now.
[Nova Launcher] :
There is a "Thanks" button for that.

[Nova Launcher] yomiguy:
As I said a few posts back I have the same problem with whatsapp plus. I asked if anyone had the same problem with official Whatsapp because I know more people have this problem with w+, but I didn't get answer yet. It would be good to know if the problem is with tesla or with Whatsapp plus...

But watching you have the same problems with other apps, maybe tesla is not really good now.

I also went back to previous version 3.0

is it suitable for tablet? :confused:
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
I use it on my tab pro 8.4.

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Yes

---------- Post added at 12:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 PM ----------

Tap to wake and tap to sleep are usually kernel level actions. Nova simply doesn't have the access needed, in order to accomplish that.

As others have said, this isn't possible. The Google Now page is a proprietary (closed source) feature. Until Google changes that (not likely), launcher devs aren't going to be able to implement the feature.
[Nova Launcher] rsage:
Other launchers (like KK Launcher) have this feature, FYI...
[Nova Launcher] Neversaynever147:
is nova launcher smoother than apex??

i used apex launcher before and it's good :)
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Nova users will say yes, apex users will say no. They are built off the same launcher so truthfully the difference if any is moot.

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I hear people saying that, but it really isn't true. KK Launcher has some janky, dedicated left page, that isn't the Google Now page at all (photo below).

The KitKat Launcher (different from the one above) doesn't have it either. All it has is a "swipe right" gesture set to automatically launch the Google Search app, which isn't the same thing either (photo of app listing below).

The only launcher that even comes close to replicating the function is Blur Launcher. It takes the KK Launcher approach, but only presents the user with - what is essentially - a page with the Google Now widget.

My point is that no launcher has this function hard-coded into it because it's impossible. Sure, you can make wacky, janky knockoffs of the feature, but it's not the same at all. I would rather Kevin keep Nova the way it is, than wreck the launcher with a hokey, poor imitation of a redundant feature.
[Nova Launcher] rsage:
When I'm running KK (I switch back and forth between that and Nova), and swipe left, I get the real, bona fide Google Now screen with cards. No difference between the Google Now screen I get in KK, the one I get when swiping up from Home button (built-in Android way to get to the GN screen), and the one I get when running the Google Now launcher. Maybe it depends on what version of Android you're using?

If I can figure out how to do a screen shot from my device mid-swipe, I'll post a photo...
[Nova Launcher] FoferX:
I have no problem with the way it looks -- it's pretty darn identical to the "actual" Google Now screen you see when you swipe right in the Google Experience Launcher. (Moreso than a maximized Google Now widget, at least.) What sucks about it that you can't swipe to go back to your other home screens. You have to hit the home button. So it's not a home screen at at all, you're right, it's just an app.

That said, I use Nova, along with a maximized Google Now widget, and gestures to launch Google Search, and "Ok Google." In short I have access to Google Now everywhere and don't see the need to change launchers or make yet another request to see Google Now more tightly integrated into a 3rd party launcher.
[Nova Launcher] rsage:
I see what the problem is - if you swipe from the left *edge* of the screen, you get the KK Launcher "sidebar" (which is what your screenshot shows). However, if you swipe left-to-right from the center of the screen or anywhere else, you get the real Google Now screen. Hope this helps.
[Nova Launcher] FoferX:
Yeah, but how do you get out of it? Not by swiping... and that's the difference here.
[Nova Launcher] rsage:
You're right, and that may be the case (KK launching maybe a separate Activity with the GN screen as opposed to the native implementation the Google Now Launcher uses), but for me still nice to have...

Anyway, not a big deal, still love Nova, just trying to point out that other launchers have a way to display the GN screen (even if it is implemented differently than in the Google Now Launcher)...
[Nova Launcher] FoferX:
Right. I don't care about the actual GN screen as much as I care about the content displayed, and the widget is Nova's way.
[Nova Launcher] thesparky007:
why not just have that swipe right gesture open up the actual google now app... and may be change the transition animation so that the app slides into the view.
[Nova Launcher] FoferX:
But then what? Hit home button to return to my default home screen? Yuck, no thanks, not for me. That's how KK Launcher does it and it feels... clunky. I suppose the option for that would be nice for folks. I just don't think it's that big of a deal to focus on when Google Now's info cards are available to me already in Nova via so many other everpresent ways.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Completely agree. I'm not against adding a Google Now page, but it seems redundant, since we can access it in so many ways, and from any screen. Maybe it's just me, but I found that addition to the GEL launcher completely useless and unintuitive. I like to have free range of my homescreens... I don't need a dedicated page for one app. I use Google Now all the time, but adding features just for the sake of it, is unnecessary in my opinion.
[Nova Launcher] nheric:
Hello,

For some days the transitions between screens are jerky. I use Nova long time and I never had this problem. I have tried other launcher (Epic, 360, GNL, MiHome...) but it lags in the same way. The only remaining fluid launcher is Go Launcher !!!!!!

Is it possible that an update of the stock launcher (or another system app) causes this degradation ?

Thanks for your help
[Nova Launcher] subhani:
Genuine question. Are you a dev for nova?
[Nova Launcher] faslane:
Go Launcher??? Seriously? Its a bloated joke.

---------- Post added at 09:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 AM ----------

You should always make a backup after you're done setting it up the way you like. That being said, I've never had this issue.
[Nova Launcher] nheric:
I know, it's incredible, but it's not a joke !! (but for information, it is very fluid since v5).

I think golauncher is not based on the stock launcher, it's probably why he did not react like the others....
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
No, not at all. Kevin is the only dev on the project. I do build a ROM and kernel though, so I try to bring that perspective to discussions here, since most users don't know what it's like when you're working with changes to the OS, and doing so by yourself.
[Nova Launcher] subhani:
Thanks buddy. Just hoping you were since I wanted to get larger icons implemented LOL
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I mean you could do it with a build.prop edit, but it'll probably make other things look wacky. I can decompile the Nova apk, and see if there's a specific line that can be changed in order to allow larger icon sizes. I'm not sure if I'll find anything though.
[Nova Launcher] n0j0e:
Ok, Go Launcher is a little bit bloated but for me the best one. Why? It is fast and smooth (own 3D Engine). The sizes (fonts, folders, etc) are all right. The Nova launcher font size is very small. The gestures in Apex in dock are very hard to trigger. In Nova launcher only one way gesture possible. In Go Launcher up & down gestures which works without any issues. And many other small things that's make Go Launcher a little better than other Launchers. Just my 2 cent! But also loving Nova except the very small font size!

[size=-4]Send with much love & Android.[/size]
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Hey, if it works, it works right? Just to add to the discussion... Go Launcher has a subpar reputation because of their questionable development practices, the bloat, and the ungodly amount of permissions it needs.

By "questionable development practices" I mean out and out theft of other developers' work. It began as almost a direct ripoff of LauncherPro Plus (yep, with the Plus features included). Then they began to steal things from ADW, and now Nova and Apex. That 3D engine you mentioned... Kanged from TSF Shell.

Just keep an eye on the development of the various launchers - you'll see that the Go team doesn't implement anything until some other launcher has it. They've made a business or of cherry-picking features from other launchers - apps that people like Kevin pour hundreds of hours into... To me, that's reason enough to never look their way, regardless of how well the launcher may perform.

Aside from that rant (lol), I just wanted to point this out - Nova has 9 different gesture settings available, so it's certainly not a "one way only" gesture system (see photo below).

If you need any help getting Nova set up the way you want it, just give a shout, and I'd be willing to lend a hand. It might not do everything you want, but there are other apps (many free) that make up for what Nova may lack.
[Nova Launcher] n0j0e:
Dont know which Launcher Devs is copying features. I think all Devs do it like Apple, Samsung, Microsoft, etc. And i am using permission blocking and Firewall since LBE. ?

I mean gestures on dock icons.

Ok, enough OT.

Please Nova devs, polish the GUI for better usebility. Font size is definitively too small. Icon size also not the best. Separate icon size for dock icons, app drawer icons and desktop icons. ?

[Nova Launcher] krule031:
From all launchers out there, I like Nova best just because its simplicity and pure AOSPnes.

I dont like things like hundreds of stuff in Go launcher for themes for widgets and etc.

And I dont need to talk about Go launcher ram usage, maan it uses too much..
[Nova Launcher] zelendel:
Leave all talks of Go apps out of the thread. As they are banned here there is not talks about them.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Grab apktool, decompile Nova. Mod your heart out. Most changes to icon sizes and text size can be changed in the dimensions xml in the res/values folder. Some may be in layouts and styles as well. I have been using and modding Nova for years now.

Thebe@r'$ G@L@XY
[Nova Launcher] n0j0e:
Yeah i know but have no time and knowledge to do this.

The Store stuff and much other things in Go Launcher really useless but there some things in Go Launcher makes life easier.

[Nova Launcher] nheric:
someone has an idea to solve my problem?

I'd like to come back to Nova Launcher but the screens transitions are becoming too jerky !!
[Nova Launcher] krule031:
Maybe your phone lacks some ram, so animations lag?
[Nova Launcher] nheric:
Animations, scrolling, transitions in app drawer. (etc) are not laggy. The lags are just in homescreen transitions :eek:
[Nova Launcher] FoferX:
Every single one? Even the most basic transitions, are laggy? FWIW on my Nexus 7 (2013) they are all smooth, slick as butter.
[Nova Launcher] krule031:
On my crappy Huawei with 512mb ram all works smooth. Try restarting the launcher.
[Nova Launcher] garux:
I have been looking in cyanogenmod settings & nova launcher settings in trying to add apps drawer from nova actions to the toolbar at the bottom or the noticafication bar at the top and have been unsuccessful doing a google search.

Does any one know how to add nova launcher apps drawer from nova actions to toolbar or notification bar?

Any chance there maybe an add-on for nova launcher to accomplish the above?
[Nova Launcher] zelendel:
And the logcat says?
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Can you change animation speeds in system settings? If so set then to .5, maybe also play with the speeds in Nova settings. Never have I seen any lag in Nova animations. Worth a shot.

Seriously. Nova Launcher is THE BEST. I'm setting up a new Nexus 7 today (now with LTE!) and the ability to restore from my Dropbox'ed backup of the Nova Launcher backup from my old Nexus is worth the price of admission alone. I love the customizability, the design sense, the elegant animations, and as well as the overall interface decisions. I've tried SO many launchers and Nova's on top of the heap. Thank you!
[Nova Launcher] pitastrudl:
Home button doesnt work, neither does emulating it trough shortcuts. So it's not a HW issue. Im suspecting Nova launcher, Maybe logs will tell? https://www.dropbox.com/s/yu6tmd1p4t3g23m/2014-10-24-18-28-51.txt?dl=0
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
There's nothing in the log about Nova, the home button, or any launcher-related issues (stock launcher or otherwise). What I saw was a lot of ART and Xposed comments... I've read a lot of things about conflicts between Xposed and ART, so that could be your problem right there. Have you tried switching to Dalvik or uninstalling Xposed?
[Nova Launcher] tyvar1:
Thank you for the latest update! :D
[Nova Launcher] cavefishes:
It sounds to me like you guys having widget problems might be overlooking a simple thing. Go into Nova Settings and click on the "Drawer" submenu. Inside there is a checkbox labelled "Show Widgets in App Drawer," or something to that regard. Make sure you have that checked, otherwise you won't get that functionality.

It will be grayed out if you don't have it correctly installed as a system app, so that will tell you if you have been doing something wrong. It sounds like you have the system app process under control though, so I'd suspect the first thing mentioned is the problem.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Good point. I'm just trying to think of a way that a collaboration would be mutually beneficial for the devs. The community at large could benefit, but there would need to be a decent reason for the developers to go in together. I'm not against the idea mind you, I just wonder how it would work. Right now, Nova is, in my opinion, head and shoulders above Trebuchet in both form and function, and if Kevin is planning on releasing a paid version of this (which I believe he is), there could be real hangups with another launcher having the same/similar features, while being free in the market(as is rumored with the CM Music app). I was just trying to play Devil's advocate with my previous post, because it's an interesting idea, but one that has to benefit all involved. :)

Hi,

I had the same issue with nova and it happened recently just some days back.

After some unsuccessful tweaks, i thing worked for me.

In Nova settings -> Desktop -> wallpaper scrolling -> off.

This option is supposed to b ON by default but switchin it OFF works and u guys can try it too.
[Nova Launcher] subhani:
[MENTION=4097987]pitastrudl[/MENTION] the culprit is likely a dodgy live wallpaper or a wallpaper not optimised for your display. Definitely turn off wallpaper scrolling, in fact try an alternative wallpaper.
