*Sigh*

Dev has said many times that this is a modified version of the stock ICS launcher, and relies on many of the newer ICS API features. I doubt it could even be ported back to Honeycomb, so forget Gingerbread. It's not going to happen.
[Nova Launcher] jishnu7:
Why trebuchet and this one ain't merging? I mean if both developers merge their works lots of re-work can be avoided.

Why don't add folder's creation in the appdraw? Is impossible use appdraw without it, i have a lot of app installed....
[Nova Launcher] blackbearblanc:
Some scrollable widgets dont work.

Is it because if Nova or does the widgetdevs have to change something?
[Nova Launcher] KBanause:
The widgetdevs must add the new scrollable api of ICS to their widgets

Toggle notification bar bug

I have tried Nova as my launcher for a couple of days now. Very pleased with it.

However i have noticed when you use Nova actions by longpressing the screen and choose Nova actions>Toggle Notification Bar.

When you then toggle the notification bar "off" and go in to messages (SMS) the screen sometimes go black. It won´t go in to your messages.

Has anyone else experienced this "bug"?
[Nova Launcher] god2pac:
someone has tried it with htc desire? does it work fine?
[Nova Launcher] grifforama:
OK I have logs which must have caught frozen Widgets then a restart of the launcher and they're back. Where do I send logs ?

[Nova Launcher] blackbearblanc:
But Minimal Reader has just been updated. Scrolls fine on stock but not on Nova.
[Nova Launcher] dashqa:
Is it possible to add option to hide some apps in menu? It would be great,thanks.
[Nova Launcher] cole_himself:
That's funny. My HTC Desire HD seems to be running...umm what is it..? Oh yeah! ICS!

@god2pac Yes, it works just fine on your Desire HD, assuming you are running an actual ICS ROM. PM me if you need some details on getting this to work. Some of us, unlike Rickroller, are willing to help and not just be egotistical jerk-off's about things.
[Nova Launcher] thomasmatt25:
WOW! Pretty upset that someone asked a question I see? Maybe someone needs a little vacay from the forums for some self reflection and to learn the willingness to help others!

I cannot add widgets, even to the homescreen. Every time I do, the launcher FCs. My dock is full, so I'm not trying to add widgets to it and I didn't install as a system app.

This is on a Rezound running a de-sensed 4.0.3 ROM.
[Nova Launcher] MarcusNO:
When pressing the menu button on my phone so the little menu comes up:

"Wallpapers"

"Manage apps"

"Nova Settings"

"System settings"

I want it to show it in my language chosen on the phone, also Change "Nova Settings" to - "Nova settings" with a small "s" so it looks like the others.

Running this on my Galaxy S with android 4.0.3.
[Nova Launcher] enestu:
Hi,

Support for a maximum theming options of miui (via mtz) could be great like icons, drawer, background, sounds,...

Also support for miui lockscreen, notification bar, swithchs icons, but it is probably impossible!

Nova is the best launcher (after the miui launcher :p ).

Thanks

Thats the right place - did you set permissions? rw-r-r

You *may* be able to fix by booting into recovery and selecting - advance - fix permissions
[Nova Launcher] de-evolution:
I can honestly say this is the BEST ICS launcher I have ever used!! Awesome work!

Only 1 issue I've found:

On Nexus S, 'Windows Animations' won't turn off. I set it to 'Animation off' in Developer Options and it even says 'off' but when I power off the screen the CRT TV Animation is still active.

I installed other launchers (same ROM) and problem solved, but I would much rather stick with this great launcher, any help?

Thanks in Advance

Edit: As it turns out the issue was with the ROM [SOLVED]
[Nova Launcher] Cygnust:
Hi,

sorry if it's already been asked but is there a simple way to import settings from other launchers ? Thanks
[Nova Launcher] Zelig:
I think the *sigh* was more about the fact that the developer had explained there would be no Gingerbread support on the 2ND POST of the thread, see below:

Had the answer been buried somewhere in the 2000 posts then perhaps the initial response you got would have been a little different (although it probably would have referred to "search thread" anyway).
[Nova Launcher] altimax98:
****bug report****

On landscape mode on a ICS Tablet when I have card stack set as the animation clicking things near the edge of the screen is impossible and long pressing apps to enable resize of move is also impossible. It works fantastic with other animations.

I haven't noticed the glitch on my Nexus yet though

System app issues

I seem to be having issues installing as a system app. I've tried moving the apk to the app folder as well as flashing the update.zip and still no in-drawer widgets. Suggestions anyone?

Bug or feature toggle needed:

On desktops. Press music widget on non-default page. Goes into music app. Press home and you are taken to default page rather than previous page.

I'd prefer going to previous page.

Also, seems the home screen button options are not working? Eg. Go to default seems to be the action for all the others. Can't see where to change default screen either now.

Sorry if this was asked. On phone only right now.

Is the only benifit putting nova launcher in the system just the widget thing or is there something else im missing??
[Nova Launcher] withinsea:
Categories in App Drawer is a great idea~!

Is it possible to build an "else" category, which means "the apps NOT on desk"?

I grouped most of apps in desk folders, but finding remaining ones in app drawer is always like looking for a needle in the ocean.

btw, could I import folders from stock launcher?
[Nova Launcher] taob:
Hell, you don't even have to scroll down to the second post. It's right there at the top of the first post in heavy, bold, all caps:

Nova requires Android 4.0.1 or higher.

Nova does NOT run on Gingerbread

That should have been a small clue. :D
[Nova Launcher] Zelig:
Absolutely. Although whilst that stated the fact that Nova didn't run on Gingerbread, it didn't explain why there *couldn't* be a Gingerbread port, which is why I referred to the Dev's comments in the 2nd post.

Cant install

Hi,

I cannot install this and one other app (Ultimate Voice Recorder, not on Market). I have "Unknown sources" checked... what´s wrong?
[Nova Launcher] ratedr79:
Just wanted to say this is fantastic! Makes the Nexus that much better! After a little wonkiness early on with some widgets, everything has been great for a couple days now and there is absolutely no way I could ever go back to stock. Not without crying inside a little.
[Nova Launcher] danman7:
ARRRGH!!!

I had this Nova Launcher beta 13 working

perfectly

on my Xoom running the EOS ICS nightly.

Then, this morning, I updated the nightly. Now, I cannot get NovaLauncher to install as a system app. I've used recovery, and I've tried to manually move it into /system/app. No joy from either. Any suggestions?

I've installed it and have it running as a non-system app, but I want the integrated widgets that I had.

Thanks in advance.
[Nova Launcher] pikesmatrix:
Try using titanium backup to convert it to a system app, that's what I did and it worked.
[Nova Launcher] grifforama:
So, having had issues with Widgets not updating, I decided to start from scratch.

I wiped everything and installed Petes' BB 01/22/2012 nightly.

Installed the bare minimum of apps, and added Fancy Widget and a couple of Android Pro Widgets to my screens.

So far so good, and my widget are updating fine.

I guess time will tell...
[Nova Launcher] danman7:
I'm by no means a noob, but I'm not able to find this in TB. How is this accomplished?

I have it backed up with TB, but I am not finding any clues on how to convert it.
[Nova Launcher] zombieflanders:
1) This thread was originally in the Galaxy Nexus forums and was just moved last week. GN owners who were subscribed to the thread may have been unaware that this changed.

2) The original 1st and 2nd posts went out of their way to point out that the only official support was for ICS on GNs only. The GN has since changed, but again, this may not have been apparent to people subscribed to the original thread.

3) I don't care if you don't want to read 2000 posts, basic universal forum etiquette is this: when you ask a question you read up on the topic. You don't have to read all 2000 posts, since XDA has a "search this thread" function. The assumption is that you're both smart enough to know how to use it, and that you're not some special snowflake chosen by the mods to deem basic forum functions unworthy of your time.
[Nova Launcher] mhwarfield:
What you ask may not be totally impossible but may be so near so that there's not much difference. Certainly, at this stage of development of many of the launchers, I don't see it as possible.

If you think about it, different launchers have different features and capabilities. How would you, say, map a 5x4 grid from NovaLauncher to Trebucet, which doesn't yet support that? What about transition effects or infinite scrolling?

Add to that the problem with getting them to understand each others configurations. NovaLauncher can save its configuration, Trebuchet and stock do not. At the least, you would need some sort of import / export facility in each talking a common format, such as XML.

Without the above lingua franca by which they could communicate settings, each launcher author would have to understand the intricacies of every other launcher he wanted to import. That's a daunting task, especially when the authors are all too busy just bolting hot button features in place.

If you consider just the small set of stock launcher, ADW Launcher, Go Launcher, NovaLauncher, and Trebuchet and consider that it would take some significant cooperation between each of them to just come up with a standard and method for doing this, I think you can see it's highly unlikely.
[Nova Launcher] XlAfbk:
actually ICS stock, Nova, Trebuchet use pretty much the same format, just some lines added in a sqllite db/xml.
[Nova Launcher] mhwarfield:
I would expect the related ones to use a similar format, especially if they are based on the stock code base. Doesn't solve the features mapping problem and doesn't solve the problem of the ones based on other code bases and it doesn't solve the one of authors of similar launchers implementing similar features in an incompatible way.

The problem is that the original request was asking if there was a "simple" way. I don't see "simple" in the equation at all. All too often, we're loosing settings just by updating a given launcher already. Happened to me several times with NovaLauncher where I had to reset my widgets every time. Haven't seen that since I used the option to save the NovaLauncher settings. Happens every time for me with Trebuchet when I install a new update. Apps are on the home screens, widgets are gone and must be restored.
[Nova Launcher] aLNG:
so far so veryyyyyy good
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Importing features directly may be problematic, but, as a matter of interest, what features are you interested in? I would venture to say that many of the things you're thinking of, will be implemented at some point. Gestures, for instance, are currently being worked on, along with some folder options, and additional transitions. :)
[Nova Launcher] SCWells72:
There's an app in the Market called DeskMigrate that actually knows how to migrate many settings (in particular the layout) between various launchers, though I seriously doubt and of the ones based on ICS are supported yet. I've used it in the past to move relatively quickly between ADW, GO, and LPP. For obvious reasons it is necessary that you pre-configure the destination launcher to have a grid size that's at least as large as the grid in the source launcher, but assuming you do that, the app shortcuts come over fine. The widgets don't generally migrate for the same reason that they don't restore from backup...I think due to a limitation in the launcher/widget APIs in Android.

Obviously other launcher-specific settings such as the dock, theme, animations, etc., don't get moved over either, primarily because they don't necessarily have analogous functionality in all launchers.

Anyway, I'm not saying this is a solution to your problem, but technically it is possible to migrate much of the tedious configuration information between launchers.
[Nova Launcher] govindadas:
finally made the switch!

Ok, I finally decided to make Nova my default and try it out for an extended period. I've invested much time now in setting up the homescreen icons...

I've made detailed comparisons between stock and Nova, and when I thought there were differences in lag, or scrolling speed/style, it always turned out to be just 'normal' variation in performance and seems to be no statistical difference between the two. However, I am no starting to think Nova is actually a bit smoother.

I am mostly just keeping the stock transitions and 5 screens, 1 dock screen, default grid size. Mostly I like the ability to rotate the homescreen, and that I have the choice of more customization if I ever decide to do it... plus I like the backup feature (assuming it works, never tried to restore from it yet).

===

I also had an issue before where the app drawer would not remember what page I was last on. using 'back' to exit the drawer made it remember the page, and using 'home' to exit the drawer caused the page to be forgotten. I don't know how/why, but this seems to no longer be the case. Maybe it was an update to 13, but I don't think that was it. Anyways, that issue is gone... now if only we could get an optional scrollbar or some was to scroll faster through the drawer... maybe a thumbnail view of drawer pages like the homescreen preview thing...

---------- Post added at 10:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------

I noticed a possible 'bug' when going from an app that uses full screen, back to the app drawer or homescreen, the app drawer/homescreen initially is fullscreen (but still behind notification bar) and then jumps back to its proper size. Not a big deal, but it is a bit of an eye catching annoyance.

I tried to post this on Nova uservoice site, but couldn't figure out how to do it...
[Nova Launcher] Stevemeister:
Just wanted to say that I love your launcher. Have been using it for a while now and it never FC'ed or gave me any other trouble.

One feature I would love to see in this launcher is the ability to make the drawer background transparent. I think it looks nice when you see your homescreen wallpaper a little bit within the app drawer.

But keep up the nice work! :)

Best ICS launcher so far.

I'm using it as my default launcher now, and I would just like to say:

You know, I was planning to stick to the stock launcher in ICS, but the second I saw you made one, I knew I had to try it, I loved WidgetLocker, too bad it's not working on my current ROM, but this is working flawlessly, and is light years ahead of Trebuchet.

Keep up the amazing work, Kevin, and hurry up and put this thing on the market so I can give you my money.
[Nova Launcher] risvi:

[Nova Launcher] bigwavedave25:
Loving the launcher. Works great, and has all the desired customizations one could hope for, without being ridiculous. One feature I would love to see in an update or even in the PRO version is the option to 'lock/unlock the desktop'. With 2 small children I gotta have that feature. Then it would be perfect and there would be no need for any other launcher!
[Nova Launcher] mhwarfield:
Lock / Unlock the desktop as opposed to lock / unlock the phone? So you want the phone unlocked and usable but the desktop is locked? Mine is currently locked with a pattern lock which both my 12 year old grandson and 6 year old grandson have already managed to shoulder surf on me. (They were competing to see who remembered it the best.) And I'm suppose to be a security expert. Chip off the ole block, I guess... :-P
[Nova Launcher] SCWells72:
Locking the desktop means that you can't accidentally make changes to the shortcuts and widgets on the desktop without unlocking it. This is nice when you finally get things the way you want but have a tendency to accidentally drag icons or widgets when swiping across or tapping (or, as the original poster said, have small kids who are just randomly tapping the screen!). Quite a few other launchers have this useful feature.
