Gmail, Email by Google, OEM Email app and even Outlook all play fine with Teslaunread....

Still if you want a 3rd party app, K-9 mail app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fsck.k9&hl=en would go well with TeslaUnread... :good:

Can you please elaborate??? :confused:

I'm not facing any cards getting cut on the app drawer end animation... :eek:

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 PM ----------

You can change the speed of the animations yourself in Nova...

Go to Nova Settings>Look and feel>Animation Speed (optionally Scroll speed too) and set it to Stock or Relaxed...

You can fiddle yourself with those options and see which works best for you.... :good:

As for the animation, Kevin the OP acknowledged in his G+ post that the circle animation is still not the same as Lollipop but he'll try to address it ASAP...

Hope this helps... :good:

Nothing's hard for Kevin AFAIK... ;)

Just that he's got a life too... :angel:

What version of SuperSU are you guys running??? :confused:

The changelog states you must be running SuperSU BETA v2.27 to enable this successfully... Here goes the link for the flashable zip... http://download.chainfire.eu/630/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.27.zip :good:

Now don't go paranoid coz it's a beta.. I'm running this beta v2.27 for the last 2 days and it's run perfectly stable so far for me... :)

Hope this helps.. :good:
[Nova Launcher] Scartozzi:
since the 3.3 beta i observed that the app's opening animation (system) is a little slower than before and slower than the gel's one even slower than the l preview style in the settings...i know it's a beta so i'm not complaining at all...i want only to know if someone else has the same problem
[Nova Launcher] electrikjesus:
In the newest beta, on TW 4.4.2 on my n8013, any time I try and long click on an icon, the app force closes. :( I have already tried to uninstall, then reinstall, and still no luck.

Edit: Long clicking from the app drawer seems fine, but not from the home screen.

Similar issue with me on my Minix Android TV box. But instead of crashing, it just doesn't do anything. The glow on the app icon is on for a second or two and then the glow goes away and nothing happens.

Edit: Just updated to Beta 3 and it is working correctly now.
[Nova Launcher] wifesabitch:
I'm getting an odd problem, in the folders, the labels are getting cut off on the bottom. You can see the letters that hang like the y, q, j and p, the bottom half are absent.

It's happening on the drawer and the homescreen. This is on a Nexus 9.

I have the exact same set-up on my Nexus 5 and this doesn't happen there.

I'm using the latest beta and SuperSU beta if that matters. Any ideas?
[Nova Launcher] L.F.B.:
Ok. Using latest beta with nova prime here.

First: latest beta of tesla unread cant read google inbox mails.

Second: Hide clo k still not working with latest Super SU 2.27 beta...

My device is Nexus 7 2013 wifi with 5.0 LP rooted.

Any help? Thanks in advance :)
[Nova Launcher] wifesabitch:
Same here, doesn't work on my Nexus 5, but...it does work on my Nexus 9. Go figure.

How about tesla unread, do you have? Is working google inbox for you?
[Nova Launcher] wifesabitch:
Sorry, but never used it.
[Nova Launcher] subhani:
I'm using the Sony Z3, stock no root, 4.4.4 on Nova Prime 3.3beta2 and I found the app drawer flawless now with the version of nova i'm running. Cards are supposed to be separate/'cut' insteaad of have a static white spanning the full dimensions of the display. I have looked at a few videos back and forth of the final build of lollipop on a nexus 6 and it seems that Kevin has done it like for like ala AL.

Currently, on the version i'm running, the speed is identical to how lollipop opens the drawer on a Nexus 6. You may be running an older version.

Nope but thanks for the help. Kevin has already addressed the issue i raised in the beta version i'm running now. Drawer opens like it should. I am on Nova for just that feature alone! I don't use aggressive desktop, i have 3gb of RAM plus i found that the launcher frame rate degrades sometimes when aggressive is enabled. I think letting it redraw once in a while allows for the launcher to operate at high frame rates again. Just a theory of mine and may even just be a placebo effect.

[Nova Launcher] kassaaam:
Hi, I have a request. Can you please somehow add a virtual navigation bar in Nova Launcher as an option in settings for non kitkat and lollipop devices. I know there are some navigation bar enabler applications in the play store but most of them are useless since they show navigation bar above the dock icons, which is frustrating. So if somehow you can add an option to add customisable navigation bar keys for "just" the homescreen and app drawer of Nova launcher that will be pretty cool and I'm sure that will give your app an edge over other launchers.

And in your recent beta roll out, you've tried imitating the look of lollipop, so until you introduce a Nav Bar for non kitkat devices, the look will still look fake. Please consider adding a toggle for a customisable Navigation Bar at the bottom. Thanks.

Bug report

Bug report: since upgrading to lollipop (Running Nova prime on Nexus 5) , my navigation and notification bars are showing in grey instead of black. In order to bring them back to black, I go to Look&Feel settings and toggle "Transparent notification" option on and back off. That cures the problem for a few hours, until the bars become grey again. Developers - please help!
[Nova Launcher] geovass:
I used to see that using v.8 beta. Now with beta v.10 i never experiance any more.
[Nova Launcher] PiCkLeS:
Well, can just confirm that I have the same.. well, strangly amusing .. bug as someone else already posted.

Everytime I reboot the phone, the app-icons in folders (none else) shrink a little bit further.

Just to try, I rebooted five times in a row - the icons are now barely visible hehe :-)

Anyway, removing an icon, re-adding it, fixes it. Well, until you reboot again, then the shrinking begins :-)

Beta10.

+1. i kept thinking i was fat fingering it, but it happens so often, i knew that wasn't the case. it's not as bad when in one of the 3-button modes, but it was happening constantly in the 4 button mode (Stock + Search).
[Nova Launcher] All Day On XDA:

[Nova Launcher] chakra:

[Nova Launcher] reflekt2099:

He's talking about the softkey mod that adds a search button to the softkeys.
[Nova Launcher] ronx162:

---------- Post added at 12:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 AM ----------

yeah, sorry, that's a different mod (also built in to AOKP) and not associated with nova. to the other person that was having softkey problems, are you using a softkey mod?
[Nova Launcher] KingJoshu:
I'm having a display issue with a 5 screen setup. Often times my display gets stuck between the 5th and 4th screen (1 2 3 4 5 layout). It's mostly on screen 5 but also a little bit on screen 4. It can do this when I scroll from 4 to 5 or when I'm in another screen and I exit into screen 5 (such as when I'm on the app drawer and hit the home button and it goes to screen 5).

I have a picture but it apparently doesn't let me post links until I have 8 posts...

[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Here's the problem with that - it requires root. Nav bar apps have to hook into the SystemUI and enable them. Outside of these apps, the only place you'll find nav bar mods are in custom ROMs and Xposed modules. Adding that feature to Nova could end up 1) causing far more problems than its worth - some custom ROMs and themes modify the SystemUI, and could end up crashing Nova permanently, 2) Kevin would be building it for only about 35% (that's an assumption) of his user base... hardly a good return on the time he'd have to invest, and 3) it would add significant size to the launcher, as it would need to include a SystemUI that would be at least 5MB. Doesn't sound like a lot, but for a launcher it is. Remember, Kevin isn't building a ROM or a root-specific app... He's building a launcher that is really for wide, public consumption. Taking the launcher too far in any one direction would end up alienating a percentage of his user base, thus costing him money.

Also, if not having a nav bar makes a device look fake, someone better tell Samsung and HTC... Last I checked, the Note 4, S5, and HTC One are launching/updating with 5.0, and they all have regular capacitive buttons. If you're rooted, and want soft keys, I suggest installing Xposed, and using one of the modules. [emoji6]
[Nova Launcher] wifesabitch:
I have it set at 115%, if it's set to 100% it looks fine, like it should. 130%, the label isn't even there.

On my N5, I have it set to 130% and it's looks like it should, nothing cut off.

Higher resolution of the N9 throwing things out of whack?

Since 5.0 my gesture shortcut to open quick settings don't work. Only opens notification panel and forces me to swipe twice to get to the quick settings. The built in two-finger swipe works though.

Is this known/a bug/interesting/rubbish?
[Nova Launcher] :
It's a Lollipop feature that you've to swipe down twice to access the quick settings...

Most probably Lollipop is overriding the Nova gesture you've assigned...

Interesting though.. Post in the Nova beta community so that Kevin notices this anomaly... :good:

[Nova Launcher] hawkwind212:
Anyone trys to backup the preferences with the nova launcherlr's own backup feature? Both backup to the device and the external sdcard do not work. Both options cause the FC. Personally I don't really care, the launcher backup/restore is a feature that I live without. Since I do all my ballyhoo and restore with the TB. But it looks like K has put some effort into the feature, because I notice the menu is different than before. So I hope the issue will be addressed soon.BTW, my device is LG-E980 running CM11 nightly.
[Nova Launcher] wifesabitch:
I use it all the time. Never had a problem with it.
[Nova Launcher] hawkwind212:
Good for you, I must be the anomaly then.

Edit: After a few more trys, the backup feature is working. It take a little bit longer than I expected, but it's working fine.

[Nova Launcher] jacknicholson:
Alright, so I might just be the only one that didnt know this. But for anyone that's spent enough of their life tediously scrolling through Nova's activities listings (Shortcuts/Activities), slowly testing them via trial and error, over and over and over again (when common sense and your best guesses have failed) -- long pressing an activity name will immediately bring it to the foreground, essentially as a preview, allowing you to quickly back out and try the next one, rather than undertaking the entire process from the beginning. I just stumbled upon this and, well, whatever the emoticon for 'mind blown' is, paste that here.
[Nova Launcher] m0han:
sounds interesting alright. would you mind citing an example to make this clear?
[Nova Launcher] jacknicholson:
Oh, I was referring to Nova's ability to create shortcuts to other app activities (eg. by long pressing on the home screen/Shortcuts/Activities, or via any other method your setup allows you to add shortcuts). So scrolling through, say, the dozens of (system) Settings activities, if you're wondering why there's two activities listed as 'RunningServices', rather than slowly adding both to your homescreen to find out, you can simply long press on each entry.
[Nova Launcher] m0han:

The animation when leaving the app drawer is broken. It simply didn't happen since I moved to the latest beta.
[Nova Launcher] j4yd3n:
anyone encountering this too?

when ever i enter the app drawer(Show Pages as Cards - enabled), the white background tends to be brighter at first and then immediately after a second or half a second it becomes a little bit dimmer with that dirty-white sort of tint or is it just my screen? because i noticed my Optimus G E-975 does not display whites as bright as other displays do. - im running the Beta 4 :p
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Nope, all major third party launchers are closed source. The reason for this is to protect the intellectual property of their creators, and the countless hours they spend coding. If you're interested in building a launcher, I think there's a tutorial here on XDA. I'm pretty sure it involves modifying the AOSP launcher, which *is* open source. [emoji1]

Disadvantages to open sourcing would be wasted time, and loss of money mainly. If you or I could just build Nova Prime from source, we wouldn't need to pay for it, and Kevin would have wasted tons of time building something that has no value.
[Nova Launcher] txx3:
the animation still needs work, but it got better
[Nova Launcher] :
Thanks for explaining this.... maybe that's why SuperSU isn't open source either...

But why is GravityBox open source??? :confused:
[Nova Launcher] PunchUp:
FOSS community is essential. Particularly since Android is based on Linux which is known for promoting open source. Those who develop OSS realise that the monetary prospects do take a hit. It's more reliant on donations and goodwill of other people who want the practice to sustain. Anyway both open and closed source have advantages and disadvantages.

But irrespective of that, Xposed modules are a different case in my opinion. They are capable of doing ANYTHING. So you'll notice most of them are open to inspection. Besides, C3C076 has been a very cool dev. The only paid feature in GB is something that doesn't affect the overall functionality. And I do hope he receives enough money for all the awesome work he's doing there

Also, Superuser by Koush is open source. Not sure what's the status for Lollipop (where chainfire is doing his magic) but up to KitKat Koush's superuser works great
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Agreed... The FOSS community is important to the continued survival of the Linux platform, and by extension, Android. In the end though, it's up to the individual devs themselves, whether they want to publish their source code or not. The only people who do not have an option are kernel developers, who must adhere to GPL.
[Nova Launcher] Krunk83:
Yeah

Hi there,

great job on the last version. :) Could it be that the "Applications" tab in the drawer gets optionally hidden ? I only have that tab active. If that part could get hidden, with the new "Show Pages as Cards" it would all look just like Lollipop looks... :)
[Nova Launcher] JoeSyr:
I forget how long Nova has supported transparent navigation and status bars, but I've been using the app (Prime) since before then, and I just noticed something that I wanted to report:

It seems that nova reserves a very slim row of pixels above the status bar and below the nav bar for the bluish "overscroll" effect. When the effect is not being triggered, these are just black pixels sitting there, even when the bars are transparent. Over time on my AMOLED screen, this is creating a contrasting burn-in (or whatever you'd like to call it; the affected pixels don't dim out at the same rate as the rest of the screen) effect; if an app is in portrait or fullscreen/immersive mode, there is a very tiny band that is always brighter.

Now, the bars themselves are a bit burned in on my device(since this phone started on ICS, black was the norm 100% of the time until jellybean, and many apps still leave them black today), but this extra tiny bright line is all the more jarring.

I think Nova would be better with an option to completely disable the overscroll effect and reclaim these tiny rows to match the rest of the nav/status bar. In my case it won't do much since it's already burned in, but it would be better for AMOLED devices that are going to be used for a long time.
