I've found a FC when try to associate an app with a gesture but all was resolved with fix permissions :D

Also a FC appears when try to associate the direct access with a gesture but this time was the contact app not the launcher!

I'm curious what are the extra scroll effects in Prime?

Hoping for a windmill one where the rotation hub is below the phone. Much like one if the launcher pro effects.
[Nova Launcher] n756gkj:
Hat's off to you! Paid for the product the moment I saw it went to market.

As long as you intend to make a commercial go of it, and provide courteous, responsive support to your customers with your time & effort, double the price. *Easily* worth it -- provides the look & feel for my daily driver phone, after all.

While you're at it, consider providing a paid-members-only forum @ !xda. It'll provide a place for discussion for those that have made the choice to support your product to communicate in relative peace without the incessant whining and increasing noise around here.

The free-forum could certainly continue here, and provide fine venue for those that wish to continue to do ... whatever it is they do.
[Nova Launcher] SirKronan:
That's a decision only you can make. You've got to find that "magic" price where you'll sell at the highest price possible without scaring away too many buyers. I think that in the market with so many launchers out there for less (with that one $15 exception, of course!), and so many quality apps in general that only cost $1, you would sell your launcher to many more customers in the $2 range. At $4 you are going to scare enough buyers away that it might not justify the price. At $2 I think you will sell more than enough copies to make up for the difference, including myself quite a few of us that have already chimed in here and said as much. Maybe you're getting some of your good, loyal XDA brothers and sisters to buy at $4 because they want to support you, but the open market is going to be more brutal than that. They have less motivation to shell out $4 than those of us here that know you and have been following your work.

I think you will snare a lot more of them at $2 than you will at $4, but again, I respect your decision. I don't agree with it, but I respect it, and I will continue to enjoy my free version of this great launcher. I already explained my personal reasons for not paying $4. I would be happy to donate $2 to you, even if you disappear and this launcher falls into the gutter. I did that with Launcher Pro Plus. I don't want to donate $4 and have that happen again though. Part of that is Federico's fault for not continuing support of his once great launcher.
[Nova Launcher] jmbturtle:
I personally like the "Prime" banners. I really like knowing exactly what my $4 will buy me. If you don't feel that the extra features are worth it, then by all means, keep using the free version, which could easily be a paid app as well.

Great job, Kevin. Thanks for the work and giving us options.

when can made floder in the drawer?
[Nova Launcher] tyraelasd:
I already bought it but I agree its a little bit expensive. Hope you will give us continuos updates for paying such a money. I think its worth so far and Im thankful for such a great launcher.
[Nova Launcher] captdroid:
Thanks Kevin! I paid the 4 bucks. Worth it IMO. I hope development continues for a very long time. Paid for Launcher Pro and was disappointed that development on that app stopped fairly soon after. Probably would not pay that developer again for another app.

Enjoying Nova Launcher Prime. My Launcher Pro replacement. :D
[Nova Launcher] DominoDoug:
I agree. It will probably get me to spend $4 by enticing me with goodies.
[Nova Launcher] bryant_16:
Hopefully this developer will carry on the updates for this launcher unlike his previous application which he kinda stop updating..
[Nova Launcher] sabbotage:
I don't get why some people won't spend a measly 4 bucks on an app to install on a phone that probably cost anywhere from 100 bucks up to 700 bucks depending on the phone. Some people even buy phones out of contract, but they refuse to shell out a few dollars for an app where the developer spent countless hours/days on developing the app. I was happy to shell out 4 bucks for the added features and to support the developers time and effort. And if I use it for a year that's like 34 cents a month :) Not bad if you ask me.
[Nova Launcher] frenccw:
I agree with some of the posters here, $4 is right for people here at XDA who are willing to support developers. (I bought it without hesitating) But it will be high for casual people who are exploring the market and wouldn't know how polished your app is (they will probably stick with free or look for alternatives). I think the biggest concern will be apex launcher's price when it comes out of beta. Congrats on getting it out first :cool:
[Nova Launcher] Nucleotide:
I do agree with this to some extent. That being said, I paid the $4. It never unlocked Prime features initially but I emailed Kevin and within 10 minutes had an activation code. Brilliant support, brilliant app/launcher - more then happy with the spending the measly $4.

Although $4 is a bit to pay considering what else available.. for free and cheaper. So long as Nova is continually developed and updated I don't mind paying a little more. There is nothing worse then forking our $$ for an app only to find development for it is dead, there is no support and all the above.

Please keep up the fantastic work. It is greatly appreciated. :)
[Nova Launcher] psohn:
I can't understand why people are complaining. Nova launcher is still free with all the options you've been using and Kevin has always said at some point he would make a paid version with some additional features.

I for one am glad he finally did since I wanted to donate for quite some time to thank him for his efforts. For me, Nova launcher and AOKP are the two single things that have made ICS useable. The stock launcher is so bare bones and lacks all of the features I've grown used too with Android. I tried go launcher and adw but they both gave me problems with ICS. If it weren't for Nova Launcher and AOKP adding back features that were missing in ICS I would have returned my Galaxy Nexus a and waited until Android 4 was more mature.

Yes $4 may be above the average $2 but look at it this way, most of the apps you pay $2 for well never be used half as much as you will use Nova Launcher. Do I think he would sell more at $2 and mostly likely make more money overall in the long run as a result? Yes, I think most people don't blink at $2 and balk at anything higher but apps like beautiful widgets show that people are willing to pay more. In either case I feel he has done all of the work and he is entitled to set the price the way he sees fit. Do I think $4 is worth it, yes. I am buying Prime and I don't even want any of the added features, I just think the Dev deserves it for the great work he has done. And really, what's an extra $2 - one less game that you would only play for two weeks before you finish it and/or get bored of it!
[Nova Launcher] G111444:
Where do you buy your drinks where you get 2 for $2? And $4 for a meal?! Is this a joke? If you have been using this app for any length of time then do the right thing and cough up the measley $4 for the past and future of using this app. Seriously...it's 4 lousy one dollar bills you're griping about.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Seriously guys, stop complaining about price. Like Kevin said, there's a free version and a paid version...so if you don't want/can't pay the $4 price tag, then there's always an option.

And let's think about this for a second: Both LauncherPro and ADW EX are in the same price range ($3.49 and $3.32 respectively), and nobody complains, and this launcher (which is the first true ICS launcher on the Market), has progressed in a way that makes me feel that it can/will be as feature rich as the older launchers I mentioned. Consider also, that Google takes a 20% commission on sales in the Market, so the "take home" price is actually $3.20...right in the ballpark with the other two. Let's not look a gift horse in the mouth here people, as Kevin could easily yank the free version or make it a trial, and then you're all SOL...

Kevin has put countless hours of work into creating a truly outstanding product...one that none of us could make, he's been attentive to the wishes of his users (feature requests), and he's never asked us for donations. This isn't some over-hyped $15 launcher that you never got to beta test (*cough, SPB Shell, cough*)... this is the result of Kevin's skill and our desires being fused to create something great. Either pay the $4 or don't, that's it, end of story...just please, don't troll Kevin to change the price on a product he made. He owes us nothing...remember that...no dev does.

Kevin, keep doing what you're doing man! You do great work!

Upgraded to Prime a few hours ago. For me, I have my icon dock set to scroll 3 pages. And some of the gesture icons don't work. Other than that Nova Launcher is Awesome! Way worth the $4!

Is there anyway you can also do different Scroll Effects for the icon dock?

*Edit - Just realized the swipe actions don't work on folders
[Nova Launcher] twistedumbrella:
I develop an application that costs $4 which provides direct access to my personal application server that provides a phone optimization suite, a hidden *insert what cheating might make you hide here* suite, and like 5 other full applications and people aren't fond of the price, but it was never free. The apps that were free never went paid without a substantial difference and a maintained "originally included features" version.

The other side of the coin is that there is $1.27 in my bank account and I am unemployed living on allowance checks from my tuition. I might want to pay, but what money do I use? Do I skip a meal because someone decided they could make some extra money by changing the app drawer transparency?

Done right, there is plenty of room to have a paid version. Done wrong, you end up with only a percentage of your original customer base because they got used to not using it by the time they could buy it. If it is $4 to support a good product that unlocks some new features, you don't have to buy it tonight but it shouldn't be reason for a tantrum.
[Nova Launcher] MassStash:
get a job? and yes, if you want something that bad, skip a meal. crackheads do it all the time....

[Nova Launcher] rob62551:
I am aware during tough economic times that some are lucky to have any disposable income. With the free version these folks have access to many of the features. Four dollars is not an extreme price for an app as good as this one. Beats the hell out some of those 99¢ apps I bought that the developer deserted.

Perhaps that could happen here I hope not. But I'll take the risk and enjoy a new launcher on my ICS Xoom tablet and have some fun with the customization.

To the developer, thanks for your hard work. I look forward to your success and therefore my further opportunity to enjoy!
[Nova Launcher] davidstre:
If you aren't willing to spend the money, don't spend it. This thread isn't for anyone to rant about cost. Go to the Off-Topic forums for that kind of thing please.

This is without a doubt the LauncherPro of the ICS world. Smooth, Fast, Feature Rich. I have used other apps from this developer (WidgetLocker and TeslaLED) I am a huge fan! He is quick to respond to emails, updates regularly, and his work is virtually BUGFREE!

I love this launcher. In fact, the main reason I upgraded my fascinate to ICS was to take advantage of NovaLauncher.

The paid version is very much worth it for all of the extra features. The free version is still a very impressive launcher. I highly recommend it.

Apex sux, im broke as a mofo and bought it the sec I heard it was in the market. Bad thing is I only use one extra feature, but I've been using this app almost since the beginning. The dev deserves my money bc it's a great product I use daily.

AYE-MAYE-ZIIIING launcher but was disappointed to see the $4 charge on the "prime" features. Seeing as I'm a full time student with a part time job most of my money would go to more needed things. I'm itching to buy it but I can't :(. Maybe if it included WidgetLocker Lockscreen built in and seamless with a few more extra features. But right now no....

Where are you buying your drinks and meals from? I'm getting seriously ripped off. :mad:

Totally agree. Lets get off the price issue and stop flooding the thread with worthless comments. :D
[Nova Launcher] elknipso:
I added myself to the launcher and would be perfectly happy (especially the gestures I have all the time missed in Android 4!), Which I though massively disturbing is that the launcher back in return completely to the home screen, press the Home key, the symbols new building, and then the widgets appear only briefly delayed. This is disturbing but visually already massive, and is not my original Launcher Sun I hope this will be improved quickly after yet.

I LOVE the possibility to change the look of my homescreen-folders in the new Nova Launcher :-)

For sure I've bought it and must say it's great work!

Found a little bug on 1.0 and 1.01 - when I change the icon of a folder I must restart Nova Launcher to see it on my homescreen. It also doesn't change the look of the preview when I go back into the settings-menu without restarting the launcher. But it works :)

Here's the look of my folders after a little PS-Work ...

What do you mean? My app drawer looks fine...still has the card stack animation, and shows Widgets the same way, just like stock. Can you post a screenshot??

[Nova Launcher] martgenius:
wonderful

Hi @ all,

my Phone is the Optimus Speed and i use this ICS based launcher since rls here in the Forum and now with the Folder Tweaks its , for me, a MUST Have!

Now i hope the dev will add more configurable categories @ drawer.

{ like Apps(all shown) Sys, media - i hope you understand my wishes....}

btw, i also think that 3€ is very high, but F*ck Yeah - this is the best Launcher for Android(4.X) and here are my 3€ - I think its invested well

Thx NovaTeam ;)

Hi Kevin, i'm having a bug with the last version (same as in previous beta releases).

After creating a backup with the embedded option and returning to the home, if i press the home button it doesn't go to the default screen with the animation but it seems crashing and reloading.

BTW: why don't you create a donate version instead of the free one? ;)
[Nova Launcher] OSully:
I have no idea why, but I have a words with friends icon on my third of 3 docks and it keeps disappearing every time the launcher restarts.

Otherwise prime is tits.
[Nova Launcher] SirKronan:
Arctic Circle ftw. Right now they have a double cheeseburger, fries and a drink for $3.99. They'll even put swiss on it instead of that silly processed stuff for no extra charge. Not the healthiest, I know ... but reasonably tasty. They have the best fry sauce in town, too.

Back to the topic, if this launcher continues to rock like it does now, I intend to pay for it, even if it's still $4, when money isn't as tight as it is right now. I gotta watch the pennies (meaning no arctic circle either :() because our car just died. Stuck a rod right through the front of the engine. All the oil blew out and the motor completely seized up. That was my daily commuter vehicle, and was paid off, too. Will cost $1200 to fix, so we just sold it and are borrowing a car for now. That wasn't very on topic, was it. Sorry.

Still, great launcher, dev!!!

All in all, one of the best launchers I've used on android - no fancy bling bling and lots of actually useful features. Thanks alot for the work you put into this!

Did you restart the launcher, or reboot the phone? This was a common error in the 1.0 release yesterday that was supposed to be fixed in the 1.0.1 beta that was released today. If neither of those suggestions works for you, contact the dev and he'll attend to you quickly.

I have beta 15 installed on my device.

If i want to go and install nova prime from market, should i uninstall first, or the market app will "upgrade" my beta?
[Nova Launcher] ChickenArise:
It upgraded just fine for me. I updated to 1.0, bought prime, rebooted.
[Nova Launcher] BankZZ:
What do most people recommend? Should we run as a system app? or just a user app (and use the root helper)?
[Nova Launcher] carrot34:
Yeah -- I just upgraded from beta 15 to 1.0 from the Market with no problems. (Though you need to reboot after getting the "Prime" version.) And I'm running it as a user app with root helper and not seeing any issues.

The one thing I've noticed which doesn't quite seem to work ideally is swipe gestures on the dock icons: they're just hard to trigger. I'm getting better at it, but at first, it was taking me 5ish tries to get a swipe to be recognized. And even now, my swipe gestures on the dock are probably only recognized 2 out of 3 times.

Just bought the prime version to support the app.

My phone is rooted but I just use it as a normal app because I'm not bothered about the widget previews. I prefer the normal widget list.

Wish it had an option like apex to remove the widget folder from the app draw and place a downloaded apps folder instead.

At first I thought it was a speed thing- if I went too fast it didn't seem to work well. But now I think it's just about making sure the swipe is as close to 100% perpendicular to the dock as possible. There doesn't seem to be a lot of cushion.
