This is really strange because shadows are not appearing for me even if I select that option.

Exactly the opposite as your problem.
[Nova Launcher] PhilipTD:
And, when I toggle the notification bar off, the top shadow disappears along with it.

[Nova Launcher] evrkusd:
I'll check it out, but I'm doubtful it has one Nova option that I really need: the auto-add apps feature, which runs independently from the Google Play store. The reason I need this is so I can push applications to these devices remotely, and have them pop up on the launcher!

THanks for the suggestions.

Hi, I have a bug using the latest beta. When I tap on the menu button within the app drawer and then tap on the home button to get back on home screen, the menu remains on screen. See the picture attached.

I'm using a nexus 4 running 4.4.
[Nova Launcher] :
It seems that I have the same bug. Not that big of a deal.
[Nova Launcher] LordManhattan:
Have you checked out Desktop > Advanced > Lock Desktop? When I activate it, i can't add or change anything on the homescreen. I also can't long-press an icon and stuff like that. Would this work for you?
[Nova Launcher] yomiguy:
lol I've never used shadow effect in my desktop because i didn't know it existed!! :o and it looks great on my s4!! :good:
[Nova Launcher] evrkusd:
Yup, when I activate the lock desktop feature, I can long press anywhere on the desktop or on an icon, and a popup comes up asking if I want to unlock the desktop or not.

Does this not happen for you? What version of Nova are you using? It would be awesome if there was a version that didn't have this feature!

Thanks for your help with this :)

same here. have you had changed the framworks to make the lock screen transparent? because I remember in beta2 I haven't this issue before I replaced the framework file.
[Nova Launcher] Apocalypse~:
I think those are not shadows. It is just the way how Android 4.4 implements transparent status bar - with gradient.
[Nova Launcher] Chinaboy5216:
Wonder when we will see the final release. Seems great already to me, been testing the beta on a spare tablet and the speed really is impressive. The esthetics factor for me is not so important.

In app drawer, it doesn't save which apps I want to show, every time i restart my phone I have to go and set it again, in my case I like to show "All".

Please fix it.

Some apps hang during launch

I had the OTA update yesterday on my Nexus 4, unfortunately it failed so I had to do a manual flash of the system.img and boot.img and do a factory reset. So now I am on Stock 4.4 + CWM + SuperSU. I restored the settings from Nova Launcher using it's backup/restore method. But now I am running into some app launch issues, which might be related to Nova 2.3b3?

From the very first moment I installed 2.3b3 on the 4.4 android, I noticed that at some point, some random app will no longer start. It does appear in the taskmanager as a black screen, but won't show on my phone. I have to swipe it off the task manager, and start them again to make it start. Other apps do start if one hangs.

Is there anything I can do to rule out Nova or pinpoint the issue?
[Nova Launcher] manpildo:
Exactly. Look at the pictures of stock Nexus 5 or better yet, see for yourself in GEL... this is how it's supposed to be with gradient.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
You can revert to the JB look by selecting the divider and scroll indicator. You can also revert to the non-transparent notification bar and soft key bar by deselecting the 'show shadow' option. That way, you can use custom dock images if you wish, and so retain the benefits of the KitKat launcher. :)

Cant wait for the new version to become stable and pushed to the store :D great job. Thanks

tesla plugin

hi,

when i install tesla plugin for this launcher,every time that i reboot my gs4 cellphone,the language return to english and when i uninstall that plugin this problem fixes,why?
[Nova Launcher] KBanause:
you're right. I have pushed beta 5 to /system/app and then updated to beta 8 and then to beta 10. Then I got no apps. After I uninstalled Nova Launcher via Titanium Backup and pushed the Beta 10 apk to /system/apk it seems to work again. Maybe Nova does have a problem with updates after it has been pushed to /system/app...
[Nova Launcher] WillyWonka23:
I'm getting this odd bug. When I open the app drawer, some pages are blacked out. I can't really recreate it when I want to. It appears to be random. It isn't just me I hope :p
[Nova Launcher] KBanause:
It needs to be tested. Beta 5 drained my battery on my Nexus S quite a lot. I ended up having an empty battery after only 8 to 10 hours. Using the stock launcher and the same launcher I was able to use the phone more than 24 hours...

I hope Beta 10 is much battery friendly.

---------- Post added at 10:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 AM ----------

Uninstall Nova and push it freshly to /system/app . That solved the problem for me (for now)...

[Nova Launcher] smw420:
OMG, as far as I can tell, 240dpi is working perfectly! Please don't forget about us 240dpi diehards. Thanks!!!
[Nova Launcher] iluretar:

yes mate, disable it then long press and remove bar from homescreec :)
[Nova Launcher] KBanause:
I have 240dpi and it's working.
[Nova Launcher] Mike2501:
That´s strange!

I´m on 240dpi, because the market issue with 280dpi and today morning after i saw the update notification i installed this. I searched for the margin option and didn´t find it. So i un- and reinstalled it but it still wasn´t there. Then i changed the density to 280 and found the option. After changing back to 240 it disappeared again, then changed to 241dpi and it was there again, but now the market issue is also there again.:mad::confused:
[Nova Launcher] KBanause:
Which phone do you have?
[Nova Launcher] Mike2501:
I have a Galaxy Nexus with AOKP 14 and franco.Kernel Nightly10.
[Nova Launcher] KBanause:
Do you have those problems as well, when you are using the stock ROM and stock kernel?

Since I'm using a Nexus S, 240dpi is the standard for my phone.
[Nova Launcher] Mike2501:
I don´t think it´s a rom issue, because from 241dpi and up, it shows this margin option.

For the Galaxy Nexus the standard dpi is 320, but this is to big for me. I prefer 280dpi, but with this i have the market issue with incompatible apps.
[Nova Launcher] KBanause:
That's because the market is using the dpi to decide whether an app is compatible for your phone or not. It knows that 280 dpi doesn't "belong" to your phone so it marks some apps as incompatible.
[Nova Launcher] Mike2501:
Yes, i know that, i had this issue with my DHD an 210dpi too. But there i had solved this with the old marked, which didn't check the density.

But this is to much OT, i wrote this only as reason, why i use 240dpi and couldn't find the margin option in nova settings.
[Nova Launcher] geinome:
Loving

Love this launcher, Using it currently on the beta build of the ICS rom for DHD. The default launcher (in this case the trebuchet launcher) i found is a little slow.

One feature i do like is the fact the apps page and widget page scroll as one menu. So fo example on the last page of the apps you keep dragging across and it slides into the widgets page. might see if i can get a screenshot of what i mean.

Is it possibe to get a feature like this implemented if installed to System directory?

Couldnt find this anywhere across the pages, but might have missed something!

Scrolling Drawer

Noob question:

How do I lock drawer so it stays "joined" to a certain page? So if I go to default desktop, I would have a certain locked drawer?
[Nova Launcher] ylexot:
Sure. Uninstall Nova and try the apps. If they still fail, it's not Nova.
[Nova Launcher] GroteBozewolf:
It's not "an app", like I said, randomly apps are freezing (so just any app). But I did do a reboot in the mean time and things seem to be better now.
[Nova Launcher] AnsenBayer:
Turn off Tablet UI?

Just installed Nova Prime on my Nexus 10, how do I switch from the old tablet UI to the standard phone UI? Maybe a dumb question but I can't find anything in the settings anywhere. I have the Jelly Bean search bar selected and set to always on, but it's not there...
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
This is going to sound stupid, but I honestly don't think you can switch...unless your ROM supports the 'Phablet' UI layout that is. :(
[Nova Launcher] AnsenBayer:
Oh, ok. Thanks! I guess I just assumed it was a Nova setting.

I did install a framework mod for transparent nav/notification bar support. The standard launcher still shows the search bar, but maybe something in the mod is triggering the tablet UI for Nova...?

but report

Is this the place to report bugs on the beta version? I have a nexus 10 and when going from a given page in appdrawer to the next one, the animation is not smooth, it stops for a moment to load the icons in the second page. Also, the beta version should have a link or feature to report bugs, that's the point of beta versions, right?
[Nova Launcher] salutcemoi:
Sorry if already posted :

Not all the desktop icons change when I switch themes (but no problem with the icons in the app drawer. )

Is this bug specific to Samsung devices?

Edit : Happens on Apex too
[Nova Launcher] scottx .:
I really doubt that has anything to do with Nova.

If only one screen is present then hide the page indicator. Makes sense right? Figured it would be hidden if only one page.
[Nova Launcher] salutcemoi:
Ok found the reason

I had previously edited a few icons manually, that's why

You have to re-edit those icons to "built-in", then you can apply full icon pack

If you're going to have one screen select screen indicators to "none" that too makes sense. :p Also that is the behavior of the GEL as well.

Hey again, thanks for all the help with this. Are you sure you can't long press? I'm able to long press and an option pops up to lock the desktop, which I need to be able to avoid. I wonder if there is an app or something that just disables long-press system wide.

Sounds like other people have similar feelings about it, but probably for different reasons:

ive just tried this launcher and everything is looking very good! but i do have a question...apologies if it has already been answered before

App drawer alpha scrollbar missing

On my Nexus 7 (2012), in the app drawer using vertical layout, the alphabetical scroll bar doesn't always appear when I start scrolling sometimes. At other times it will be there and I can quickly jump to a letter. On my S3 w/CM10.2, the alphabetical scroll bar is always there.

If I enable to menu (3 dots) in the upper right corner it will appear, but if I choose none it exhibits the behaviour described above. My app drawer grid is 5 across by 6 down.
[Nova Launcher] NovaSlim:
My Nexus 7 finally got the 4.4 OTA today, got Nova beta 3 on it and looks pretty good.

Although I am having problem with the full crop mode in setting wallpapers, it appears that if you use "full crop" then your navigation bar would remain black in portait mode. Is this a bug or is there a work around, for now I am using the Square crop instead.
[Nova Launcher] J.S.C:
From your screen shots it doesn't appear to have a problem, the navigation looks transparent to me.

[Nova Launcher] bfettd:
Ok, for some reason I can't get search to work on the site. No clue why. ANyways, got an N5, had been running NL Prime on my N4. Realized I don't care one bit about how the new launcher worked, reinstalled on N5. Everything is almost there except for one thing: I can't figure out how to enable or disable the "app lock" function. The basic functionality is this: if you try to "edit" an app in any way (add it to the screen, move it, etc) a small pop-up window would appear that required you press and hold the lock button in the middle for a few seconds before being allowed to do the edit.

I want to regain that functionality and have searched endlessly in the settings to find it. Googling doesn't help because every mention goes to discussions about lock screens as soon as you use the word "lock."

Thanks,

Sort folders?

Haven't been able to find anything about this (And search is down) but is there a way to get the folders to sort apps alphabetically?

They kindof are, but there are always some apps that are completely out of place and I have to scroll around to find them.

Thanks.

just tap on the three dots menu on the lower right corner of the folder and you'll find the option.
[Nova Launcher] zurvan2:
NIce. I swear this icon wasn't there when I just looked in the drawer. But I added a folder to the home screen, and it had the icon, and then all the ones in the drawer did, too... so it was probably my imagination.

Thanks!

---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

Oh. No, it definitely wasn't there. It appears that the 3 dot icon only shows up if the Desktop is unlocked. This is not what I would call expected behavior since all the other folder editing *is* allowed through the nova menu while the Desktop is locked.

Desktop folders (folders on the home screen) would make sense to stay locked, but folders in the drawer, not so much.

*shrug* hopefully no one else is as puzzled by this as I was. I have gone months not knowing how to sort the folders, though. Most of the results in searches say that it already *does* sort and that manual arrangement is not supported.
[Nova Launcher] giran:
nice thing
[Nova Launcher] happiness4u:
Would it be nice to add a gesture action for lockscreen?
[Nova Launcher] LordManhattan:
The launcher doesn't control the lockscreen, so you'll have to use a third party lockscreen app like this Kit Kat Lockscreen app.
[Nova Launcher] niteh@wk:
I think he meant a gesture to lock the screen, e.g., turn it off. You can install a 3rd party app such as this one ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kennethcheng.com.lockscreen.free) and set up a Nova gesture to launch it to lock the screen.
[Nova Launcher] happiness4u:
But the LG G2 launcher (port) has it without using any third party app (double tap gesture). Just a thought though. :)
[Nova Launcher] jeffreii:
I've been using the beta since Saturday and have been really happy with it. The only thing I missed on my Nexus 5, from the GEL launcher, were the transparent bars. It makes the homescreen seem a lot bigger.

However, I am having a crazy issue at night, which I think can be attributed to Nova Launcher. I'll have to test it tonight without the beta installed and see if it happens, but it's happened every night since I installed the beta.

At night I plug my phone in and turn on Dock Clock Plus. It dims my display extremely low and shows the time, which orbits around the screen to avoid burn in. At some point in the night, seemingly at least ~4 hours in, the display of my device goes crazy. See attached images for what I mean.

At first, the only way I could fix it was to simply turn off the screen. However, I found that switching to the GEL launcher and/or restarting Nova fixed it as well...so it seems to be the culprit. I will be doing further testing to verify.

Please let me know if I can do any further testing to help figure this bug out.

Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!
