[Nova Launcher] just4747:
And four more cases here of my issue above. Again, Kevin, these aren't the individual widgets not updating...this is the widgets as a whole failing to display any changes what-so-ever. If you click a button or change a slider/setting related to the front-end widget, you will not see the change because all widgets have "frozen".

Please acknowledge this. I can do a logcat or DDMS or something if you need..really want this to get figured out. I will even make a video of it if you need to see that this must be due to Nova. Never happens on stock launcher so that should rule that out.
[Nova Launcher] chikimonke:
I can confirm that this has happened to me once as well.
[Nova Launcher] just4747:
Thank you.

Kevin, please see that this isn't an isolated issue (look at my posts above this). There are others as well that I did not quote.

I really am hoping this can get taken care of because I love Nova. I don't know if it is 100% due to Nova, or a combination of Nova and a widgets causing all widgets to stop responding, but something is happening. I wish I had the know-how to figure it out right now, but I can only do logs and such and anything else possible to help out. It's tough sometimes trying to get a dev's attention for a constant issue, but I am trying my best with what I have to work with. :D

Thanks if you can help.

[Nova Launcher] danman7:
I'm not asking how to move it, but if I will create problems for myself by having installed as a standard .apk and then moving it later into the /system/app directory.

Just curious. :)

I suggest you guys use 16bit quality when scrolling. Just like the ADW Launcher. It will be much smoother
[Nova Launcher] drBiGBuG:
No problems for me, but I changed permission of Nova Launcher apk with Roo Explorer, like Launcher2.apk, otherwise system can't use it as launcher...
[Nova Launcher] curioct:
Got to the point where each time I would try something new I would uninstall all three... Reboot to recovery, clean cache and dalvik fix contexts then file system clean /data & /system

Then reboot and as soon as I install nova run it, I get the unfortunately nova has stopped force close I'm at my wits end.... Tried going back to apex but same thing.... Mmmm maybe it's a TW thing...... There's a thought....
[Nova Launcher] delarium:
Having trouble with Nova Launcher in my Android Car HU. Got Nova Prime. Cant get the dock to be placed in the bottom of the screen, its now in the right end.

Changed setting on screen orientation, but cannot get it to be in the bottom. What should I do?
[Nova Launcher] 60nine:
try fiddling with this settings under "look & feel"
[Nova Launcher] delarium:
Thanks for response, but the dock is still on right side which setting I try. Doesn't matter at all.
[Nova Launcher] 60nine:
i guess it's a rom thing then, not launcher...

some roms tend to put the dock on the left/right side depending on the dpi system settings (this happens on my tablet with cm12.1 rom when i put the dpi under stock value)
[Nova Launcher] delarium:
Is it possible to change the behaviour in any way? Device is rooted.
[Nova Launcher] 60nine:
don't know... it depends on your device and rom...

you can try to change the device dpi setting (CM roms have that integrated in the settings under display settings)

the other way to change this is to edit build.prop dpi value "ro. sf.lcd_density=XXX" where XXX is your current dpi...

if you'll do that - i'd strongly suggest that you make a full backup in your recovery in case something goes wrong...

and if you change the value, go with little steps first (i.e. if your current dpi is 240, try 220... or 260 - can't remember should it be higher or lower)

after you edit the build.prop - save it and reboot

there are some apps that are made just for editing build.prop values like

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor

i personally use the integrated text editor that comes with ES file explorer...
[Nova Launcher] delarium:
Tried change the DPI to both higher and lower. Still the same result. This feels like an application issue to me. But hey, I'm no expert. Got other launchers to give me a bottom dock.
[Nova Launcher] 60nine:
how high/low did you go?

are you sure your rom doesn't have something like "tablet mode" already integrated?
[Nova Launcher] Geofrey Kazaula:
Hi All, i'm new in this thread

Is there a way to hide the page indicator on the home screen?

Also when launching the folders in the app drawer the other icons goes black n white, i suggested to the Developer to keep icons colored
[Nova Launcher] 60nine:
yes, but only if you use the "line" page indicator (it will show the indicator only when scrolling through screens) - i don't know why that "dotted" ones don't go away automatically as well

it's located under "nova settings > desktop > page indicator"

you can also turn it off completely if you select "none"
[Nova Launcher] Geofrey Kazaula:
Thanks, i see with line indicator it doesn't show on the home screen, i think Nova should implement the same with dot indicator.
[Nova Launcher] 00471:
Is Developer even reading this thread? Does it make sense to write there something?
[Nova Launcher] 60nine:
i think they don't read this... we discussed about this several times not so long ago :)

i guess the best to do is to post suggestions or bug reports directly to them via Play store or their development page (if there is any)
[Nova Launcher] Geofrey Kazaula:
For sure it doesn't make sense at all if the Developer is not reading this, can you link us to the Developer thread?
[Nova Launcher] 00471:

Post a log after the f/c using an app like catlog or matlog available in the playstore. Filter the log for tesla so you don't post a giant log. I'd bet it is something you restored settings wise that isn't in updated Nova. Nothing to do with TW, Samsung, or Rom you are using....

[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Kevin has looked at this thread exactly once in 3 years. There is someone that works/interns at Teslacoil that monitors all threads, links, emails, etc. They do not respond here as instructed by Kevin. This thread only remains open for users to help each other out and is really obsolete otherwise... In the OP which nobody reads, there are links to the Teslacoil website, beta site, google plus page and probably an email or link to play store where email is located. Need to remember there are over 5 million paid Nova users and probably another 5 million free users so i'm sure personal responses are between slim and none as there is only 1 or 2 people actually working at Teslacoil. There was an interview maybe a year or so ago that Kevin went into great detail about all of this. Search Google for Kevin Barry interview, it is a podcast or something, i don't remember who actually did the interview.

Dock icon stacking

I can't seem to find a function for stacking icons on top of each other in the dock and I can't find any information online. I assumed there would be a way to launch the foreground icon through a gesture, but nothing I've tried works.[IMG="dock"]https://goo.gl/photos/pVET4n8PP57T5Hb17[/IMG]
[Nova Launcher] techsutta:
I seriously needed this, thanks xdadev team.
[Nova Launcher] BillGoss:
How about putting them in a folder and editing the folder to enable swipe to open? This will launch the first app in the folder when you tap.
[Nova Launcher] nasedase:
That's a cool method but I'm strictly referring to stacking two icons, not folders. It bothers me that you can stack applications with no discernable way to launch the foreground app. The only options I see are swapping the foreground and background apps within the long press action.
[Nova Launcher] gartzen:
I do that by just and setting swipe for an existing app icon to open another app. You'll only see 1 icon, but it'll work as you wanted to. And in the case you want to see both icons, you can make your own png and asign it as the icon for it.

In 98% of the descriptions of the themes it says to reboot the phone after applying the theme. You just have to read them. Or restart Nova.

Icon theme? If so you may need to manually change the Nova icon. Themes have nothing to do with Nova, if package name or activities changed in the update, then the dev of the theme used needs to fix his theme and update to reflect the changes..

[Nova Launcher] resarfekim:
Samsung Note 4, Emotion 6.0.1 rom.

When I wake up my phone using the Home key, it always brings me to the home screen, rather than to the last open app (if I wake the phone with the Power button, it brings me to my last app that was on screen before sleep).

Any idea how to change this behavior? I tried setting the Nova Settings\Gestures\Home Button to "none", but no go.

I actually noticed if I press the Home button really fast, it wakes up and brings me to the last app, rather than home. But I gotta be quick!

Thanks!

i think it's impossible to inplement this because the app drawer pages depend on personal layout and number of icons and icon rows/columns on every page...

That's what I thought. Was hoping I was missing something. Ooh well. Thanks for confirming. ?

just a thought - wouldn't it be easier to create the folder on homescreen with the icon shortcuts that are on that page you want to access directly in the drawer?
[Nova Launcher] mrdoug:
Yeah, that's the logical answer. Unfortunately, aesthetically, I do not care much for the folder box. If they were full screen (ala the xaiomi launcher) it would be an answer for me.

[Nova Launcher] sloheim:
Is anyone else having a problem with the Unread Count Badges? For several weeks now (at least)... my Unread Count Badges will just randomly turn off.

I will be using my phone, and all of my badges are working fine (unread email/sms/phone calls). No problem. Then a little while longer, I'll get a new email/text/whatever, and when I unlock my phone, I'll notice that the badges are missing. I then go into Nova settings/unread count badges, and find the setting turned off. I turn it back on, and my badges show right back up immediately.

So my 2 questions...

a) Is anyone else having similar problems?

b) What functionality (other apps, etc?) could possibly be turning off the "Unread Count Badges"?

Its either a Nova bug (which I don't see anyone complaining about), or a conflicting app. Wondering if anyone can lend guidance?
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Do you use greenify or some sort of task killer? That could be your issue, unless you have something else turning off certain apps when not in use or something.

Thebe?r'$ NeXu$
[Nova Launcher] sloheim:
Nope, don't run Greenify or any task killers at all. (Even if I did.. how would that change an actual setting within Nova? Killing a process is one thing.. but changing a setting is completely different AFAIK)

Any fix for the widget padding error?

All clock widgets is VERY small with huge padding, only way to increase size is by using half of the screen, tried it on multiple devices and nova has this bug on all.

It was ok on 3.x versions of Nova.

Any fix?
[Nova Launcher] Ja_som:
Can you share a screenshot? I don't see something like that on my devices...
[Nova Launcher] NisseGurra:
Attached, this is the max size of the clock but the padding is huge.
[Nova Launcher] Ja_som:
On my N7 II
[Nova Launcher] NisseGurra:
Same problem, you have the same HUGE padding, so much empty space and it block other widgets i use
[Nova Launcher] Ja_som:
On portrait screen is not so bad on my device, as on your. It is almost on full width of the screen... On wide screen it can be better...
[Nova Launcher] temokk:
All i wanted to say thanks . I been using nova launcher since it came out .. use it on all my phones and tablets. Can find a better launcher....
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Apps like those task killers and greenify will put certain things to sleep or kill them(stopping functionality to save battery) that is why I asked. Pretty common problem with users of apps like that, nothing in Nova settings to change but if you were using apps like those, you would need to modify the settings of those apps. That is why I asked. I haven't had any issues with badges, so i haven't a clue why they disappear. But bugs will never get fixed here, would need to report thru email, or in the g+ community.

Thebe?r'$ NeXu$

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------

What clock is that? Widget size is determined by the app the widget is from not launcher. So you would need to contact the app developer of that app that the widget is from. You can overlap widgets in Nova settings I believe homescreen advanced settings if you still are having issues.

[Nova Launcher] :
I did, and my reply to you was its fine here, no huge padding and I don't have use half my screen to make the widget bigger, I did understand your problem, that's why after reading it I felt I would reply to say I'm not facing that problem.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Widget size is controlled by app it is pulled from. Launchers like nova can override those dimensions defined from the app to let you resize it, but Nova has nothing to do with determining defined size of widgets. Nova also can control padding or no padding if you long press on the widget and look through the pop up menus options.

That's my preference.
[Nova Launcher] IronTechmonkey:
Home screen clocks are so common, there are so many of them, they are so varied, and there are so many reasons why a person might use on that I'm surprised at your surprise :). Some reasons why someone might use a home screen clock:

1) Status bar clock might be hidden to make room for notifications.

2) Clock on home screen is a large shortcut to clock app.

3) Digital clock on home screen can be seen from far away, especially this one.

4) Home screen can just look great and be in graphic harmony with the wallpaper

("Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day...": Pink Floyd - Time;))

BTW Every native digital clock widget I've seen on 2 different devices and across CM11, CM12.1 and CM13 ,and multiple stock ROMS seems to use an excessively large amount of padding, especially if you hide calendar events and alarm.
[Nova Launcher] Corduroysack:
I hide the status bar clock in the default home screen with Nova and just have it showing in others (Requires Root). I thought the same about having 2 clocks showing.
[Nova Launcher] Holty07:
Nova needs to use root to lock. If your phone is rooted check in the advanced settings section.
[Nova Launcher] gsw5700:
No, I'm not rooted, but do need to give Nova device administrator privilege.
[Nova Launcher] Holty07:
This is the problem then. You can't lock with nova and use fingerprint to unlock. There is some change in mm that caused this to occur. You can only perform this task if using root rather than device admin.
