[MENTION=2587550]kevin@TeslaCoil[/MENTION] so i already buy prime ver. But im thinking can u add parallax wallpaper similar to note5 and s6? And last thing can u add so we can choose to not use app drawer? So we can combine widget and all apps on one homescreen. So i can like make one or more normal widget homescreen. But to see apps. I just like swipe left on home screen to see another screen for apps. U got it. Kinda like note 5 if u enabled it. Thx :)

Excellent job! I really like the launcher.

As a dev you know what a complaint on a thread not read by the dev is worth.... ;) I love XDA because the situation awareness of alternatives and such dedication by the devs. Nova is the best alternative to stock and needs no alternatives (for me FWIW).

I was wondering if anyone else had this issue. I have a Sprint Note 3 on the Fre3 rom (4.4.4), and my widgets don't respond half the time. I restart Nova which fixes the issue but after a little while, it does it again. I have tried both aggressive desktop and without. Widgets don't update often enough nor can I click on them to update. The Note 3 has a lot of ram so I don't know if that's the issue. I was just curious if anyone could shine a light on me what to do or what's the issue. Thanks :)

I have a question, or feature request, on gestures I hope someone can answer. I'd rather not do this through Tasker as I'm horrible with it. :-O

I have Nova on tablets used as in-car infotainment heads. They each have one or two homescreens.

I'd like a setup where swiping, as if changing screens, would at the "end" screens accept a gesture that could launch an app, or a Nova action.

I saw no settings in Nova so I'm thinking Tasker. Ideas?

Hi guys, I've been experiencing huge battery drains by Nova. I'm using CM13 on an i9300, and the animation fix that needs root.

Here is a pic : http://i.imgur.com/NWuwjBZ.png

Anyone got an idea of what's happening ? Yesterday's update didn't change anything.

I can post more if needed (if Nova got logs for example, I'm not sure if it does or not).
[Nova Launcher] lexluthor:
Having a problem with all versions since Nova 4.1, that Nova email support has been unable to fix so far. I have a Verizon LG G3 running stock 5.1.1. With all Nova versions after 4.1, the app drawer frequently resets itself to the top. I can just have the app drawer open and be looking at it and all if a sudden, it's back at A at the top. Very annoying.

I have my app draw set to 6x5 vertical. In advanced menu, remember position is set on.

I actually had this problem maybe a year or 2 ago and eventually was fixed in a Nova update. Seems like the recent update has re-introduced this bug. Doesn't seem like Nova support has any fix so far. I'm surprised that there are not other reports of this.

For now, I'm just not updating, but it's a pain to keep using TiBU to detach Nova from market so I can use update all.

Any ideas?

I have been using this launcher from past many days but I guess we got many more new launchers with great effects that we had never thought about.

[Nova Launcher] hawkwind212:
Not to say you should get Apex launcher, but able to change the items within both the desktop and the drawer menus is a capability that makes Apex different than Nova.

Gestures not working

I tried to set up gestures in Nova, but none of the gestures seem to be working. I set Swipe Up (1,2 fingers) Swipe Down (2 fingers) to launch 'app drawer' but nothing is happening when I use those gestures - either on the home screens or anywhere else. I tried setting those gestures to other actions and they're not working either.

I'm on Nova Launcher Prime 4.2.2 (Samsung Galaxy K with TW, KitKat 4.4.2).

'Screen Lock' is set to Device Admin; I don't see Nova in the 'Accessibility' section of the settings (some posts regarding gestures refer to this setting)

I haven't sent email to the Dev yet, as I thought I may have missed something obvious.

I had been using nova for a year and a couple of months, of course it is way more customisable than the launcher i have, i never had an iOS device,but i like it's simplicity, i own a Galaxy S6 and one feature i requested was the folder preview with 9 icons, i saw that in the stock GS6 launcher,i got a lot of thumbs up on G+ on Nova beta, anyway, it would be very useful IMO, because you can see better the apps you have in a folder.

And the most important, I really don't know how a launcher named Launcher X, managed to get all Nova's and Action Launcher's features(plus many other features that Nova users requested for many times like swipe down), don't these apps have closed source code?

please forgive me if it sounds like trolling, i just expressed my opinion, as i am a big fan of Nova, thx.

But I think if found a bug then.

I already fixed the situation but the thing is...

Turn "card background (fundo do cartão in my Portuguese version)" - On.

Then change the color to p.e. blue.

Then turn "card background " - Off. The color in the option below turns to a semi transparent black. However the search bar is still blue.

The only way to change is turning "car background" - On, then change the color and then change the option to off again.

Does anyone know how to theme nova settings? My nova launcher settings are white with red text, I see a lot of dark color themes on the settings menu searching online but cannot figure out how to achieve this. On my previous phone i figured out how to make nova settings transparent, but cannot get the settings to restore with it on my new phone.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
need to either use a custom rom with CM theme engine or RRO layers and a compatible theme that themes nova. or decompile nova with apktool and edit the theme, recompile, sign, install. no other way, no restoring previous settings or anything else is going to do it. I wouldn't even use nova until I found a decent theme for it. that white and red is just awful.

Hello,

I am currently have a problem getting consistent balloon notifications from TeslaUnread - specifically text messages. I upgraded my phone and the wife's phone (both TMO Galaxy Note 4) from v5.0.1 to v5.1.1. Since the upgrade, I get balloon notifications for some text messages but not others. The "Phone" and "K9" mail notifications work correctly. If I switch back to the stock TouchWiz launcher, the notifications work correctly. Here is what I have tried (all with no luck)...

Uninstalled/reinstalled TeslaUnread from Play Store

Downloaded and installed latest version of TeslaUnread (v5.0.1)

Wiped phone/reflashed and only installed Nova Launcher Prime (v4.2.2)and TeslaUnread (v5.0.1)

Hi,

I purchased Nova Prime, but I don't have the option for changing the FONT!

I'm not speaking about the font type (bold, etc.), but for selecting another TTF/OTF files.

Please, can you explain how to change the font?

Thank you!
[Nova Launcher] Pfeffernuss:
Except from condensed, bold, etc., you can't... :rolleyes:
[Nova Launcher] 60nine:
that was never possible with Nova Launcher Prime (or free)
[Nova Launcher] Rhodesgod:
is this possible to add free icon space to place them where ever we want ? Not only in grids.
[Nova Launcher] Pfeffernuss:
No :good:
[Nova Launcher] manos78:
Why? Several other Apps can use "custom fonts". Why Nova Launcher (Prime) can't do it? :confused:
[Nova Launcher] 60nine:
maybe because app developers don't want that "feature" to keep the design consistency...
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
You can. Change your system font, and then use the system font in Nova. Simple.

Hail ?
[Nova Launcher] manos78:
Impossible in ANDROID for change the SYSTEM FONT without root privileges.

Thank you for the response, but I ask for a function that several Launcher have and is missing in Nova. :crying:
[Nova Launcher] 60nine:
then use those launchers if you miss font changing option...

btw you can change the font in any android version without root - there are always at least 5 different fonts in any android version since ever...

to use an additional custom ttf/otf font would only lead to system instability and/or slowdowns (some fonts can weigh from several kb to several hundred kb or even mb) - and i think that's the main reason nova launcher doesn't have that option...
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Of course you can change font in android. There are literally 1000000s of font apps on the play store. Most don't need root as far as I know... You can always find your font file and decompile nova launcher and add the file into the apk. It's not a hard modification for any developer to do... Font files are found in the assets folder, would just need to add it as an option within the app like the other choices for fonts are...

Hail ?
[Nova Launcher] Rhodesgod:
can you add another folder style ( like full screen folders or ios style folders ) to next version ?
[Nova Launcher] manos78:
Hi,

:cyclops:

I know! I know! I know!

They are several ways for change SYSTEM fonts, and APP fonts... with root, patching, Xposed, App-decompile... etc. etc. etc.

However, why not include the MOST SIMPLE AND DIRECT WAY for the user? That is include the option of change the font. It's incredible that Nova don't have this option: several (hundred) of Apps have this option; Nova has option for change Icon Size, Font Type, Icons, Colors, Sizes, Gestures... etc. etc. etc.... but NOT change the font. WHY?

:confused::confused::confused:

I hope the next (paid) version will include this ESSENTIAL option! :fingers-crossed:
