It's not 'bad' as such, but it's pointless and needlessly takes up space in a busy thread. It won't happen any quicker even if you post daily or hourly messages; the developers on here spend their own time making great things which they generally give to the community for free (even if they also provide an option for you to help support their work) so the general advice is don't hassle them for ETAs (which reading between the lines is what your message was doing).

hey guys i need your help..

so, i have a samsung galxy ace gt-s5830 with a cyanogenmod 10.1 (android 4.2.2)

when i install nova launcher and i try to change color theme, it crashes immediately and i have to delete data launcher to make it work again.

on a cm9 it works perfectly, but on every cm10.1 i can't change color theme. it's the only thing that make crash nova.

any idea?
[Nova Launcher] khaytsus:
So, yeah, it gets old.
[Nova Launcher] hsn97:
May be the problem with your ROM, have you asked the fellow users of CM10.1 of Galaxy Ace using the same ROM on which you are getting crashes?

[Nova Launcher] erghetto:
mm i haven't asked it becuase i have this problem with all cm10.1 rom

however i'm trying to understand how to do a logcat, so i can post it here and i'll give it to dev's rom
[Nova Launcher] hsn97:
Yeah but its better if u ask from other users in the ace forum first because if they are not having any issues then may be its only you who is having the problem

[Nova Launcher] hsn97:
Then the problem will be with the ROM, post the logcat in the ROM thread.

Love the launcher. Is there any way to disable Folder Previews altogether? I just want the Folder Background itself, with no stack/grid/fan Folder Preview. Possible?
[Nova Launcher] Jacob.jsweets:

Does anybody know how to disable widget padding like in apex launcher, any help would be greatly appreciated :)

long press on the folder preview, press 'edit' and you can change the icon to whatever you wish

One request for the dev please... a quick and easy way to see which apps are in groups and which are not. Right now, the only method appears to be to go through and declare each group to not appear in "All", which is rather cumbersome.

[Nova Launcher] erghetto:
ok, i'm talking about my phone.. than i said before, that in my case it crashes only when i change color theme.. all other function works perfectly.
[Nova Launcher] DickSocrates:
Does Nova have the feature from TouchWiz where you hold on the home screen position bar and it turns into a slider, allowing you to see every panel very quickly? I use it too much to consider Nova without it. I tried looking for it but couldn't find any option.

Thanks.

Nova Help

hi everyone

I have ViperS 1.6.3 ROM on my HTC Sensation.

and I have Nova Launcher Prime.

I want to change home button function and did it in settings, but when i tap home button its only go to homescreen of nova with a 1-2 seconds delay.

Not sure but i think phone's default home button setting force me to go to homescreen.

How can i fix this? Any idea?
[Nova Launcher] recDNA:
Is there any way to change icon font color?

The only other go launcher feature I miss is go calendar. No other monthly calendar widget allows such smooth transitions when you flip from month to month while still in widget view, eliminating the need to enter a full app interface.
[Nova Launcher] rodaven:
I would really like to see in this Launcher an option to pin icons on the screen, so when you scroll between screens this icons don't move (like lighting launcher does).

[Nova Launcher] Sharpbarb:
I really like this launcher. Nice and Clean.

Here are a few quirks I have noticed:

-Home screen icon labels disappear on rotation

-When the number of dock pages is set to 1, the dock still animates on swipe

-Quick Search Bar widget keeps disappearing (not sure what triggers it)

-Quick search Bar takes up an grid row rather than the stock configuration where it sits above the grid (would be nice if this was an option).

-Arrangement of icons in a folder does not persist (i have to keep rearranging them, not sure what triggers it)

-Widget selection uses a popup rather than the app style selection pages.

-I use Widget Locker and there is an occasional delay before it activates when unlocking the phone. (i.e. The stock lock screen appears for a moment before the Widget Locker Screen overrides it).

My one wish list item is an option to rotate 1x1 icons in place rather than rotating the entire screen. I don't think I've seen this implemented anywhere before.
[Nova Launcher] Riztnack:
do you have a copy of beta5 zip by any chance?
[Nova Launcher] razzbaronz:
Maybe it's because I put mine in the system folder but I've had exactly zero FCs and everything runs extremely smoothly for the past day and a half since I've had this launcher. Thanks so much for making it!

Hi Can I make some suggestions:

Thanks! it is amazing so far.

Is this happened to someone else? Screen is sometimes stuck like this even next one is normal...
[Nova Launcher] ledoweb:
Hi everyone here, and sorry for lack of introductions: I'm here only for a feature suggestion, and I've no idea of how to search if this has just been posted before. 96 pages aren't a few! ;P

Well, back IT: I think this launcher is amazing, and amazing is the new "Holo" GUI in Android ICS. The only thing out of place IMHO is that horrible plain black app drawer background. So I started a thread (here) about which file to edit and how, to achieve a slightly transparent background or better, a customizable one.

The right file has been found (/res/layout/apps_customize_pane.xml), a not-so-clean way to get a bit of opacity down has been found too (editing binary android .xml isn't both very quick and easy), but we're waiting a way of choosing a picture as background. So...why don't you add a "drawer background customization" feature to your upcoming release?

I mean...I think it wouldn't be too difficoult for Launcher-coders like you ;D

Again, I apologize now for an eventual "multi-request", keep this good project up! ;)

p.s.:feel free to criticize my english, it's always a good way to learn new things or better, to know which expressions avoid next time ;D
[Nova Launcher] jimmynoos:
Thank you for pointing this out. Next time if I have 30 minutes to do a thread search, I will gladly do that. Not angry at your comment, but the actual thread search function as it's not efficient and it's much easier to just post.
[Nova Launcher] ymr0211:
This is what i've been looking for! Looks same with stock launcher and has got much more fuctions! But I think we definitely need the function that can load the settings from other launchers like ICS stock launcher. Making all the folders and widgets again really bothers me. that's why i can't use Nova launcher right now.
[Nova Launcher] jhericurls:
Thats one of the reason I use Nova Launcher. I'm constantly flashing new ROMs and being able to back-up my layout is extremely handy.
[Nova Launcher] asqwrd:
Is anyone having issues where when i press home to go back it reloads the launcher it never goes back to the previous homescreen i was on but seems to go back to the default and the widgets reloid everytime
[Nova Launcher] :
dear kevin,

sorry to mention it again, but i actually discovered while i replicated my home screen under nova, that you added another row, which results obviously in less space between the icons, but also makes my weather widget (fancy widget) overlab w/the google search bar.

i guess you want to give us more space, but could you please add an option to use the stock google layout?

i'd rather have more space between the items, especially while i'm using it in the car.

nova launcher has sweet, sweet features, love the newly added apps, so useful, since the market stopped sorting the apps by last updated. the backup feature is also sweet, given the fact that i'm gonna flash cm9, once the nightlies are live.

i adore your lovely products, and would like to add nova launcher to my list of apps i bought from you.
[Nova Launcher] Guerde:
Can we place widgets on the dock?
[Nova Launcher] IMGetwired:
True, just because I read all 96 pages of this thread doesn't mean everyone has to!

You're welcome for pointing it out. Not that it would have helped much in your case, but I thought I'd also point out the contextual search function where you can highlight text within an existing post, then click on the magnifying glass that pops up, and vBulletin will pop up a scrolling "frame" with relevant content right over the thread content. How cool is THAT?!? Getting answers to your questions in someone else's thread in forums is like playing Whack-A-Mole, I know, and my post was not intended to antagonize! :cool:

---------- Post added at 10:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ----------

If you flash the NovaLauncherUpdate.zip file in the OP, it will be placed in /system/app by default. Perhaps that would be simpler? It's what I did and it took like under 1 minute to reboot, flash it, and boot back up. Just sayin... ;)
[Nova Launcher] KlugN:
I saw someone post about this a while back but the search didn't bring up any answers for me...I've been getting force closes on Nova Launcher that require a reboot. I've found that the only way to stop force closes even after rebooting is to not keep Nova set as the default launcher, but doing this also breaks some of the mods of the launcher itself. I know this isn't a ROM issue bc I've experienced this on both AXI0M and AOKP. Anyone find a solution to this problem yet?

I'm running Beta 7 btw. Never had this happen on Beta 3 or Beta 5.

I rather thought that was what the Dock did? I keep my Dock down to a single page of five/six common icons only as I don't really want two different scrolling areas of icons, the Dock works better static.

Hey, hey, dock labels please!

Every android launcher missed one thing, the dock labels. My friend which not so popular with android and tried to use it feels dissappointed with it, he said "Android is not so easy to use, even in the homescreen!" So, Please with much please, make an option that can show label in dock, just like in touchwiz, LG launcher, even Motoblur with standart ICS launcher HAVE THIS!! At least people wont think awkward when they use android, especially new people..!

Restore Shortcut?

I have searched the thread and google to no avail.

Is there anyway to create a shortcut to restore a layout?

Apologies if this has been asked before.
[Nova Launcher] niteh@wk:
iphones have labels in the dock doesn't mean Android has to. the icons themselves are obvious enough, no need give in to those haters and introduce clutter dock. they will keep finding things to complain about. gosh, people need to be smarter and flexible with changes. everything stays the same is boring, just like iOS since its inception.

Your friends can install this launcher if they like iOS look and feel.

Has anyone had a problem with app names disappearing on some apps in the app drawer?

See screen shot. Any ideas on how to fix it?
[Nova Launcher] niteh@wk:
I think this happens when the app names are too long and the grid is too dense. Try loosening up your grid size.

[Nova Launcher] jdhas:
Yes! This is hugely irritating. Happens on my Nexus 7 and my GS3. Going into the labs section, then advanced, then clear icon cache, followed by restarting the launcher seems to temporarily fix this. Would really like to see s more permanent fix though!
[Nova Launcher] bu2askoor:
I hope the missing app names get resolved.
[Nova Launcher] andrewilley:
Only asking for it as an option, just like the desktop and app drawer do.

And as for icons being obvious enough? You're kidding right??? Just in Nova, I've got a circle with six little square dots inside, or another circle with seven square dots inside, or a circle with two overlapping rectangles, or a circle with a line under three square dots... Yeah, it should be obvious to anyone what they all do - but just on the off chance that it isn't, would it be too hard to write a couple of words underneath?

The recent couple of messages about text going missing from the app drawer make the point perfectly, I have no idea what most of those icons do! On a desktop machine you can hover over an obscure icon with the mouse to see a tooltip, but not on a touchscreen device.

I'm having an issue with the current release of the launcher on my tf700.

Well, you create or drag the apps onto the dock, so you should have a pretty good idea what they are. I organize my phone for myself and to my taste, not to please anyone else wanting to use my phone. There's a feature/voice page you can voice your feature requests.

I found someone with the same problem in a thread from back last year where it was said that this was supposed to be fixed, but obviously isn't, as I'm running the last version of both the launcher itself and the Prime unlock key.

Anyone have any clue if this is fixable? I want Nova's swipe options, but I just can't use it with this bug, obviously.

If gestures are important to you, check LMT Launcher (it is not a real Launcher, more like an addition to it, and it's free.). It offers much more gestures then Nova, together with some other great stuff (Like Pie :).).

I am actually using Nova gestures (good enough for me.) and LMT only for its pie.
[Nova Launcher] Cptnodegard:
Already using LMT for something else, it's not a replacement for the gestures in Nova
[Nova Launcher] !crazy:
What do you mean by that? LMT lacks rotate gestures and single swipes, but actually it offers more gestures then nova.
[Nova Launcher] Cptnodegard:
Nova has swipe actions tied to shortcuts and folders, which is what I'm after
