Sorry I didn't peruse through all 222 pages -- so forgive me if I am repeating things.

Question

1. After I increase the rows to 6 or greater, the text underneath the screen icons get cut off -- meaning they are not visible. Is this normal?

2. Is it possible to set a gutter width to the top and bottom of the screen, similarly to what can be applied to the right and left sides?

Thanks.
[Nova Launcher] mhwarfield:
1 - Yes. Normal. After 5 in landscape too. Just only recently got it back with 4 in landscape.

[Nova Launcher] samg77:
Sorry reread my question does sound kind of confusing. What I ment to say is. I have the lastest Nova on my previous prime (12 at the time now beta13). Before exchanging the prime, I did a full Titanium back up, than once I got the new one, rooted, and up to the latest OTA, I did a full restore with data. Also have since upgraded to the latest Nova. Honestly I do not remember when EXACTLY when the option disappeared, my daughter is in the hospital, and I am laterally living in the hospital room here with her, so Im a bit distracted.

Just looking for ideas on what I should do to fix this.

[Nova Launcher] scottspa74:
Can't figure out why, but on evervolve p7 nova launcher goes into such a aloud FC, that I can't even boot after making Nova default launcher. I've cleared data, then set the launcher up all over again, but it happens on every reboot. Giving me much trouble. Too bad....nova has been best ICS launcher period, thus far.

All I cab figure is maybe cuz of Widgets? But they're native ICS Widgets (email/calendar). So weird, was flawless up until recent, now unusable. Evo 4g, preludedrews rom

Edit: fixed. Somehow I ended up with 2 nova launchers in /system/app after update. One as Nova.apk, one as com.teslacoil. apk. Removed old, renamed com.teslacoil. apk to Nova.apk, reboot. All smooth again. ;) Love the launcher.
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Nova Launcher is not published on the Market yet. However it is uploaded in an unpublished state. (Market button on Check for updates is because it's that way for beta versions of WidgetLocker). Since the app isn't published it, the Market reporting "Item not found" is correct, however apparently for some people it shows and even lets them rate/comment.

I'm not sure if this has been reported yet or not (got tired of reading all of the BS in the new posts since last read) :

I have 6 home screens and occasionally all of the icons disappear from the first home screen. Restarting Nova from the Nova settings menu fixes this.

It's not really bothering me since three taps and it's fixed but I figured I'd report it since it's a bug.

So my question is if u can got the themed icons in ur launcher too?

u understand my request?

-Toisan
[Nova Launcher] The111:
I don't know if this has been mentioned already, and it is admittedly a tiny nit... but the bottom row of homescreen icons sits a couple pixels higher above the dock divider than it does in default launcher. It is a very small difference, but enough that I notice it. I prefer to keep the look as stock as possible, the only real thing I need out of this launcher is renaming shortcuts and changing their icons. :-)

Works great though!

This happened to me when I changed the DPI on ICS CM9. It did not get fixed even after I restored original DPI. I had to put back all the icons I placed on the home screens.
[Nova Launcher] jucytec:
feature request

I have a feature request.

i think people would love a reposition Widgets option. I will explain and if needed will post screen shots.

I started experimenting with 240dpi on my galaxy nexus. All the apps can run in tablet mode which allows a better experience thanks to its high screen resolution.

Once I set the grid to desktop grid to 6x7 all my Widgets look a bit off if I resize a 4x2 widget to a 6x3. it looks great when the Widgets are sized 5x3 BUT its no longer centered.

A reposition widget will lock size and composition of a widget but alter the space holder to center a widget on a odd resolution/grid layout.

Running the galaxy on 240 dpi makes it look like this was how a galaxy was meant to run... I have so much more space for everything. Currently running aokp milestone 3. Nova launcher is the best out there already, with this added feature it'll widen the gap even more...

[Nova Launcher] rosseyn:
Not quite there yet..

Looks like it'll be a nice replacement for ADW in terms of features. It's got a long ways to go to catch up in speed though. Still quite laggy for me unfortunately. Will try again in a few patches. =)
[Nova Launcher] peterbonge:
This is really a great launcher and I don't have any new feature requests. Gestures would be nice, but I know that this is on the list.

More important than new features are bug-fixes. And there are really some annoying bugs:

1) The dock: I have 5 icons on the first page, 5 on the middle one and the right page is empty. I also have "Infinite scroll" activated. If I now change the pages count to 2 I get really strange effects:

- The icons from the first page (left) aren't shown anymore. Shouldn't the third page (right) be removed?

- If I switch to the empty page and add an icon it disappears.

- If I scroll several times to the right the app switches between an empty page and a page with the missing icon.

- If I scroll several times to the left the app switches between the page with the 5 icons and an empty page.

2) If I change the order of the launcher pages the app doesn't recognize this if I add a widget or shortcut via the log-tap menu.

Example: I swap the pages 4 and 5, long-tap on page 4 and add a widget or shortcut -> it will be added to page 5!

A restart of the launcher fixes this problem.

3) Sometimes icons are just disappearing.

4) Yesterday after a reboot the calendar widget got replaced by the search widget. Really strange!
[Nova Launcher] CamoGeko:
You mean the icons in the dock?

Then just drag them from either home screen or app drawer and place into the dock.
[Nova Launcher] demo23019:
i did this it doesn't fully work take an icon from your launcher and put it next to one on your desktop and closely examine compare the original desktop icon wont be as sharp

this problem gets carried over to your back up so if you backed up after dpi change it will come back even after new install and even when you set up icons again

Yea im on 210 dpi

i finally fixed and everything is sharp and staying sharp

once you change the dpi it will never be the same only way to fix is reinstall nova every time you change DPI and restore backup its annoying hopefully dev takes notice of this problem
[Nova Launcher] wilcomir:
I had a similar behaviour and reported the bug few days ago. So it's confirmed... Hope it'll be fixed. I solved simply filling all three columns. I think to get things working you have two choices: fill three columns, or use only one (no scroll). I also unticked the infinite loop option, maybe that's causing the problem.

[Nova Launcher] kimboinatl:
I have another bug to report (I don't think I've seen it reported here yet).

I recently updated my ROM from AOKP M2 to AOKP M3. I had to do a wipe in order to get it to work. So in getting things set back up I went into Nova and had it do a restore from a backup I made. It displayed where all the widgets would go with the test "Tap here to configure widget" on each one. So far so good.

Well, I would set my widgets back up again, but then sometimes they would disappear, and sometimes it would go back to a dark grey block with "Tap here to configure widget" again, even after I had already set the widget back up.

The only way I could find to keep it from doing this was to drag all of the widgets to the trash and then reboot my system.

I'm only quoting my own post cuz I want it known that my problem WAS NOT with this great launcher, but rather how I updated it.

Also, I'm one of those who would love to see vertical scroll in drawer come back (never did like the horizontal scroll, but I know it's the default ICS method. I used to hate picking up Samsung phones cuz they always used the horizontal scroll. I always rock HTC ;)

Still loving this launcher.

Still waiting on the ability to hide app drawer items. Why in the bleep would I scroll through ALL my apps when many of them are on the handy dandy folders on my homescreens, right where I need them? Or linked on my custom lockscreen, or on the scrollable dock, etc....?

Being able to hide drawer items is one of the top voted items on the list, if memory serves. It got a LOT more votes than a lot of the stuff currently being incorporated, but I understand that it also might be one of the most difficult things to develop, as well.

Despite that, it's still my favorite ICS launcher! :D
[Nova Launcher] mtbgus:
So does that mean it can't be added, adw launcher ex and most of the other (older) launchers have managed to place a (3 dot) menu button on the right of the soft keys.
[Nova Launcher] McPh1st0:
Quick question: are scrollable widgets supported?
[Nova Launcher] vibbuz:
using it with android pro widgets and they're scrolling flawlessly :)
[Nova Launcher] Milamber33:
Gingerbread based launchers end up with a menu button because they're using the gingerbread API paths, and ICS displays the menu button because it doesn't know whether the app needs it or not. Technically I suppose any ICS launcher could be modified to always request the menu key, but most people who want the menu key around all the time just pick a rom or mod which forces the system to display the menu key permanently, so it's an unnecessary feature.

I'm using the Messaging widget from Android Pro Widgets and while they scroll flawlessly, one problem I have is that the Contact pictures don't display like they do using APW on Gingerbread ROMs.

Do the contact pictures display for you ?

I am running an alpha CM9 ROM on my Atrix and I am trying to work out whether the issue is a general problem with Android Pro Widgets on ICS or whether it is peculiar to my alpha ICS rom.

Possibly not a Nova issue as I have the same problem with Trebuchet.

[Nova Launcher] Milamber33:
I'm using Apex launcher and Android Revolution HD 2.1.5 on my Galaxy Nexus, and Android Pro Widgets scroll fine, and contact pictures show up fine, so it's at least not a general ICS issue.
[Nova Launcher] Zelig:
Ok, I will give Apex Launcher a quick run and if APW works ok there, then it is a Nova issue, otherwise it will be an issue with my alpha ROM.

At least I will know which Dev to follow up with.

Edit: Ok, no good with Apex launcher either, so I guess the problem is with my alpha ICS ROM.

Hi

This launcher is great!

but what i am be missing is the "Widget scroll" option for example i can't scroll in Colorize Widgets.

i hope you know what i mean.

best regards
[Nova Launcher] Staggers:
I've got some scrollable widgets and they scroll just fine by default. Perhaps the problem is that Colorize isn't fully updated for ICS?
[Nova Launcher] Milamber33:
^ This. Be aware that ICS uses a different API for scrolling widgets to Gingerbread, so any time you come across a scrollable widget that won't scroll, it almost certainly hasn't been updated for ICS yet. The only advice I, or anyone else here, can give is to contact the widget dev and/or find another widget that does something similar.
[Nova Launcher] vibbuz:
Never used that widget but I tried and yeah, it doesn't display contact images.. not showing up on launcher pro either so it's adw compatibility issue with ics

[Nova Launcher] roee88:
As previously mentioned in this thread it does work on official ICS ROMs (i.e. Galaxy Nexus or leaked ROMs like some of the SGS II roms).

Other alpha/beta ROMs have a bug that fails to retrieve thumbnails using the PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI field (which also affects the Starred tab in the contacts application - you will probably only see thumbnails of people with high quality images set).

If I change APW to use the PHOTO_URI field instead you will see similar results to the ones in the starred tab, which is still not the correct behavior.
[Nova Launcher] qaz2453:
@jjhiza

No no I mean I download a lot of games so I don't have to worry about making another circle widget... in the time from my last comment I have downloaded 3 more games which equals to 17 :) just for piece of mind

Edit: make that 18 games lol
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Gotcha, I see what you mean. I could be wrong, but I'm thinking that increasing the folder capacity may be one of the last things on Kevin's mind. Getting gestures, app drawer options, and folder options implemented may be higher on the list of things to do at the moment. Not to worry though...enough people have requested expanded folder size, that it will definitely get done at some point. :)

"lock settings and preferences" feature request.

Hi,

Thanks for this launcher. I just recently flashed AOKP and Nova Launcher and think it is wonderful.

I searched for "nova launcher preference setting lock" but no results came up.

The reason for this feature request is because I have friends that all have iphones and are unfamiliar with android. When they play with my phone, they change settings and whatnot and then I am sad.

Currently I have backed up my settings so that I can restore, but I think it would be better if I can lock my preferences. Thank you for your time.

Thanks for this info.

I had worked out the problem was my alpha ICS ROM, not Nova and certainly not APW.

At least now I can point the devs for my alpha ICS ROM in the right direction to fixing it.

I think you should stick with APW doing things the right way and let the devs with the broken code fix it at their end.

Having said that, you may wish to consider putting an option within APW to allow the user to tell it to use the PHOTO_URI field for compatibility with broken ROMs in the interim.

That way you don't lose a user because their ROM dev wont make the fix.
