Music Bug

I found another bug regarding "Ok, Google". When I'm listening to music and then press the home button from anywhere (homescreen too) music stutters for a moment. I guess when you press the home button the Google service gets started again or something like that. That's why there is a little lag in the App Drawer closing animation and the music playback.
[Nova Launcher] Spere:
Is there really any idea to use that Vote to get ignored system?
[Nova Launcher] underskyzx:
I reported this bug 7 months ago, provided logcat and all.

Still not fixed, while dev keeps adding other features this bug remains.

Is it being ignored, unnoticed, or just not able to fix?

Did my part dev, do yours!

If anyone else is having the problem with Nova constantly crashing/not allowing you to pick it as a default with CM11, try using the default theme. It's mentioned that you may have to do that on the Play Store and it fixed the problem I was having on my HTC One (it couldn't even run with a custom theme). My Nexus 7, however, can still use a custom theme with CM11 so not sure what's the difference.

In the most recent update I've had less redraws to the point what I don't notice them. Before, particularly on my Nexus 7, they happened constantly. Strange that my two devices are behaving so differently with this one app.

Guys im having a weird problem with the latest version since i updated the folders on my homescreen become tighter and icons inside the folder became closer together. Im not sure this is intended or not. Is there a solution? Thanks

[Nova Launcher] Mjuksel:
Doesn't your rom have some action bound to double-tap home button?

I've had this too, and I removed the double-tap option.
[Nova Launcher] AssaSsiNMiLeS:
My ROM does not provide such a feature and as mentioned before, this lag only appears when "Ok, Google" inside Nova Launcher is activated.

The feature *request* page is just that - a place to request features. Just because a post has a million votes, doesn't mean it's guaranteed to be added, which is what most of the people in the comments section of that request page seem to think.

Maybe Kevin hates the feature, maybe he's working on a refined version of app sorting, or maybe he's come to the realization that giving us a specific place to make request was a bad idea. It was intended to cut down on the clutter in THIS thread, which it hasn't done, and it was designed to make users feel like they were involved. For a while, Kevin pulled features exclusively from that page, but it got out of hand. I'm sure Kevin never anticipated that Nova would get this popular... He's ONE guy, with a family, trying to accommodate millions of users. Some feature requests are bound to fall by the wayside.

Hi guys, im experiencing some redraws. Before the latest update all was fine. I activated aggressive mode but it seems not work....

Any idea?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Wow, way to dig up a post from a month ago - a post in which I responded to a single user who routinely ads nothing to this thread.. I was calling him out for posting something completely useless, that's all. That particular user stated that Nova redraws and lags... That's it. No detail, nothing for a developer to even look at...nothing. His posts are routinely lacking substance, so I came down on him for it.

To your point though... What was/is the issue you're having? Kevin has a pretty good track record of addressing bugs that he can replicate... Bugs that multiple people are experiencing. If your problem hasn't been addressed, maybe he can't duplicate it, or maybe he looked at it and determined that it wasn't actually a bug being caused by Nova.

Can you explain your bug a bit? I'll try to replicate it myself, and maybe we can find a solution. [emoji106]

What about this bug? Any solutions?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Are you trying to put a stock Huawei widget on your screen, or a stock market widget? From what I understand, Nova has never supported widgets from OEM firmware (Samsung, Motorola, LG, etc). If Apex and other launchers have managed to do this, it's something Kevin should definitely be made aware of. [emoji106]
[Nova Launcher] soulcrusher:
I am a happy user of Nova for quite some time. Now I recently received an Omate TrueSmart smartwatch and am having some issues with Nova. because of the small screen I have set the desktop grid to 3 by 4 apps. I have the lower row full of apps, so that leaves the top 2x4 spaces free. However, whenever I try to add a new 2x2 or 1x4 widget, it says it does not have enough room. It even says so on pages that have no apps or widgets at all.

Also when I try to add a 1x1 widget or rearrange an app, it wants to be placed on a few random places but usually not where I have my finger which is really annoying. Anyone know what's going on here? I'd like to be able to occupy more than half of the tiles with widgets and apps ;)
[Nova Launcher] Spyritus:
I'm having this issue on my Note 3 (N9005).

Going back to stock launcher if i can't find a reliable Nova 2.x apk to roll back :(
[Nova Launcher] dancrow:
You are right!

The error appears when I try to put a stock Huawei widget on my screen. Other market widgets are OK.

I'm running stock rooted ROM EmotionUI 2.0, android 4.2.2, version B610.

I prefer Nova for all that it has instead of Apex, but I also think this is a big problem for Nova.

Is there any way to fix this or to inform the developer about this stock widget adding on screen problem?

I'll be happy to help!
[Nova Launcher] Cozmos23:
Is there an Option in Nova where I can set something like a glow when pressing an Icon? Cos when I click an Icon there is no visual feedback. Or is it depending in the Icon I'm using some custom Icons from the Android Themes Section.
[Nova Launcher] SLUDER4:
It might be too much for your RAM or your phone. It would be running in the background and it could really slow down the device and/or it might have a large cache storage.

---------- Post added at 07:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 PM ----------

Not yet. Mayb in the future. For all I know of Nova launcher just dims the Icon when pressed. Atleast for me it's that way for all the Icon packs I tested for your question.

---------- Post added at 07:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 PM ----------

Go to Nova settings. Click "drawer" then scroll down to where it says drawer groups. From there you can group your apps.

---------- Post added at 08:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 PM ----------

From experience with Nova launcher I've had problems with folders glitching and icons within them would disappear and what not. This could be a problem with the update. Or the margins idea could be helpful.

---------- Post added at 08:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 PM ----------

Have you tried to make the folders then edit the apps with in the drawer tab in the drawer settings?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
And this issue only occurs when you use Nova, right? You can obviously use the widget on the stock launcher, but you've tried it with others (Apex, Go, etc) as well?

My first inclination is to say that OEM widgets will not work on third party launchers, but maybe other launcher devs have figured out how to work around it.

[MENTION=2587550]kevin@TeslaCoil[/MENTION] experiencing many issues with unread counts on Stock 4.4.3 sometimes they show sometimes they don't. Most of the time Google+ & Facebook show 200+ unread counts when in reality there is only 5 or so. Anyway to fix this or am I doing something wrong? I'm on stock rom running Franco latest kernel using super su no other mods. I am obviously using the prime version of nova and have just done a full clean install of KitKat.

Your input would be gratefully appreciated, and no I was not one to complain about the progress of nova when you were on your break, we all need one, now and again. Thanks for an awesome launcher!!

EDIT: My Device NEXUS 5
[Nova Launcher] dancrow:
As I said, Apex works OK with stock widget. I will try other launchers and let you know.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Have you tried clearing the data off the apps in question (G+, Facebook, and TeslaUnread)? It might sound like a simplistic solution, but it may be the answer. I'm on the same device, with rooted, stock 4.4.3, and I'm not having these problems at all.
[Nova Launcher] NoXion1:
[MENTION=5899483]SLUDER4[/MENTION] Thx for your reply.

Normally how I deal with this issue is simply by dragging the shortcuts to their respective folders. When I do, I receive a "skipping duplicate 'insert app name here'" toast msg for each app.

I just went into Nova settings and edited each folder shortcut from the "drawer groups/folders" area. I received the same toast msg when doing it this way.

I don't see how there's any difference from moving app shortcuts via settings as opposed to dragging them to their folders, but I'm willing to try anything at this point.

If there's anything else you, or anyone else, could suggest I'd certainly appreciate it.

I solved that issue on my N5 (at least for now) by turning the teslaunread off and back on in the notification access settings section of the phone. So far so good.

Nexus 4 with latest aokp.

Two weeks ago I installed the first beta. It worked like a charm but I uninstalled it for my own reasons. Two days ago I decided to install it again. I downloaded the launcher, the prime and Tesla unread. But I can't open it. It gives me a force close. I uninstalled, and reinstalled. I deleted the appropriate files from sd. I cleaned the settings from settings => application but nothing.

What should I do?

P.s. I also have a nexus 10 with the same aokp installed. There I have no problem at all. Nova works like a charm.

[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
During the time you didn't have Nova installed, did you add any mods or tweaks to your device?

Since it worked previously, I'd suggest uninstalling all three apps, and reinstalling Nova on its own, without Prime or Unread. If the launcher works, then install Prime, and test to make sure it's still working properly. Then install Unread and test again. If one of those apps is causing the problem, that method should point to which one it is.
[Nova Launcher] koupa:
I did that but it does not install. I also downloaded the apk from nova site but it also fails. I will try it again tomorrow when I will have more time.
[Nova Launcher] koupa:
I found the error but it's weird. In the notes it says that the theme engine is not supported. I use the holo sense cm11 theme. I changed to stock theme and it worked. But on the nexus 10 tablet that I write now I have nova + holo sense cm11 theme and no problem.

Nova Launcher does not like dSploit, does it? (3.0.1 Prime.)

See the icon title. WTF.
[Nova Launcher] NoXion1:
That's a good question. Yes, only when my phone boots and loads Nova do the app shortcuts get duplicated outside their folders.

All these apps are apps that have their data moved to the SD card.

To me, it seems there's some correlation between my SD card not being mounted fast enough on boot, and Nova attempting to figure out which apps are installed.

Doing a Google search with (Nova launcher duplicate app drawer) and you'll find a few other posts from ppl having the same issue.

Apps Drawer (show all apps ALL the time)

I have requested this before without any response from you.

Could you please add an option to always show all apps in the drawer?

At the moment I need to click on the tab and choose an option to show them all.

But once I close the drawer or restart my phone I need to do it all over again.

Thank you
[Nova Launcher] marcran75:
I've never had a problem with my apps showing. Are you sure you haven't selected to hide some of your apps?
[Nova Launcher] havork:
Some apps are in a folder (group folder) on homepage are automatically hidden, some are not yet they are hidden, I never even tried to hide any apps.

Even my calculator is hidden!

And where is the option to unhide those that are hidden? :/

Please add an option to always show ALL apps in the drawer whether they are on the homepage, group folder, on my kitchen floor or whatever.

This is just silly
[Nova Launcher] SLUDER4:
That's probaly the problem right there. Your phone loads the data and everything on the internal memory and the SD card separately. So, the SD card might be loaded after the internal memory and that's y it's not picking up what u have arranged. Try moving the data to the internal memory and see if that helps. With it duplicating, it could be that it's two separate saved items and it's loading both at the same time. Mayb if u delete one, only one will show up.

---------- Post added at 12:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 AM ----------

Go into Nova settings. Click drawer. Scroll down to where it says hide apps. From there the check marked apps are hidden in your app drawer. If you want to hide some apps, just check mark that app and it will not show up in the app drawer. If you want to unhide apps, just un check it. Hope this helped

---------- Post added at 12:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 AM ----------

Go into your Nova settings, click desktop. There should be a choice of "homrscreens". From there you can add pages, delete or edit the order

Hey guys, I tried switching to ART from dalvik today but unfortunately as soon as it finished booting I cant get past the lockscreen as it keep FCing each time I try to unlock the device. I tried rebooting , tried going to recovery and wiping cache and dalvik, and still the same. How can I fix this or how can I atleast return back to dalvik ?? because I cant even use the phone now.. Please help its urgent :(

can it do with nova launcher as I have nova as the only launcher in my phone !!?? as soon phone unlocks and wants to enter the launcher it systemui FC.
[Nova Launcher] Deadly:
Yes, since launcher is unable to function. but this didnt happen to me when i tried it. But to revert you can do this.

bring down notification drop down menu. flip the page to get settings shortcut. then get to developer options from there and change it back to dalvik.

hope that solves it.
[Nova Launcher] ayoubij:
Oh I thought nova launcher was ART compatible. The thing is, I cant reach anything... the only thing I can reach is the lockscreen ( and I cant pull the notification tray from there since its secure). as soon as I put my code in the phone systemui FC and returns me back to the lockscreen.

Is there a way to return back to dalvik via recovery or something but without full wiping my phone :(
[Nova Launcher] Deadly:
I think best option for you would be to access google play store from pc and install an alternative launcher for now and connect phone to internet and let it download and install launcher. then you can open it from installed notification. that should work out i think

Since you have secure lock screen and cannot open phone at all you are more than likely going to have to wipe your phone and reflash your rom and start from scratch. RULE OF THUMB:ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE MAKING ANY MODIFICATIONS TO YOUR PHONE. Chalk it up as a lesson learned.

I'm guessing that's exactly what it is. I've actually got Nova installed in my system/app folder bc I read somewhere doing that gives the launcher higher priority thereby making it less prone to be pushed out of memory. (my phone only has 1gb)

Re. deleting the duplicates - I've done that so many times I've lost count, and they're always recreated in the app drawer randomly upon boot (outside of their folders ofc).

Thx for your response. Do you know if the dev ever responds to this forum? I know he's a one man dev on Nova but I'd love to know if he's aware of this bug.
[Nova Launcher] vyp54:
If anyone had problems on long press menu button that didn't work for him - I've found the solution.

If you're running Omni or Omni derived ROM (or any other AOSP rom that has settings->buttons->custom actions) you need to enable custom actions and set long press menu to "No action". If that isn't the case the shortcut/app you've selected in Nova settings will not work.

It would be great if OP could attach this to the first post so it can maybe help someone in the future. :highfive:

The hidden apps issue has been a problem since the recent updates, which removed the display options for the "Apps" tab that allowed you to make better use of that feature. It significantly reduced the usefulness as a result. I'd really like to see it restored.

Hello dear developers of Nova Launcher.

I apreciate your work on one of the famoust launchers ever.

But there is still one Feature missing: Free app sort in app drawer like on TW, Xperia, LG - Launchers.

Custom Font and Icon Size would be fine as well.

Apex has tried it but failed in my opinion bcoz free has to mean free. Apex filled up unfilled launcher pages even if I need the spaces for my sorting.

Anyways, please give me at least a feedback.

On both my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 2012 3G, I cannot sleep the screen for about 30-60 seconds after a fresh reboot. This only happens when Nova is my selected launcher, and while Nova is the active app. If I open another app I am immediately able to sleep the screen while in that app. Any idea why this happens?

Beta 10 seems to have some issues. My app drawer was blank a few times...had to hit home again to get back to the main home desktop window. Also, there is a perceptible lag with widget redraw on the home window when you come back to it from any application. This wasn't the case with Beta 7. I've reverted to Beta 7 for now, although I might go back to stock to compare battery life. I really like Nova and I have to commend the OP for his fantastic work on it, but I'll take better battery life over a different launcher, if there is a perceivable difference between Nova and Stock.
