Weird effect

Hello,

I just installed cm10 jellybean on my acer tablet and I noticed a weird thing. If I set the background transparency of the app drawer to 100% (all the way to the right) so I can see my background, when I press the home button I can't see any of my home screen icons. If I touch the screen and move it a little then they are there. The Dock bar isn't affected by this. I can see it just fine. Only the icons above the line.

If I set the transparency to 0 (all the way to the left), I have a black background in my app drawer but when I close it my home screen is fine.

Not sure if that's a NOVA problem or a CM10 problem though.

Running the latest beta prime.

Thanks,

Jeannette

kevin can unread counts app merged into the main launcher app to make it lighter on ram for low ram device it will be amazing :cool:

it will be running in one service instead of 2 service using more ram :o

edit: why unreads count didn't work with massaging

Unfortunately with the latest beta I still get noticeable animation lag that's not there with 1.2. This is on my Desire Z running ICS, on the n7 running Jellybean it's great.

Same issue on Galaxy Tab 10.1 here. I set appdrawer to full transparency and when i press homescreen its empty, if i just move the homescreen little it all shows again. other than that it feels like performance has gotten better. Thank you dev, been using your launcher since release and its ACE! Nice work

I agree they're unnecessary once Prime is installed. And the selectable menu option that says "Nova Launcher Prime" is redundant and could also be removed.

How do I set as system app?

In the worst instance I am in Nova Settings. After I click on an check box the screen freezes (can't scroll, can't back out). Then after a few seconds the screen goes black. Then after a minute or so the box comes up that says Nova has stopped. I send the report and after a while the choice box comes up to start Nova again. If I restart, it goes to the black screen again and the cycle repeats. The only way to get going again is to turn off the phone with the power switch and then turn it on again.

Yesterday my nexus 7 finally arrived, the first thing I've installed was nova and guys... I don't really understand why you complain so much about the tablet UI. That's just awesome.

have a nice day everybody!

Now if I only could make the font in the drawer a bit smaller…
[Nova Launcher] Staggers:
Try reducing the system font size, perhaps?

Settings > Display > Font Size

Admittedly it's a sledgehammer approach, but it looks nice to me now that I've set the app drawer to 5 columns x 6 rows.
[Nova Launcher] mbirth:
Looks great in the app drawer, but looks bad everywhere else. Tab headers, settings … everything seems just a bit too small.
[Nova Launcher] nikz106:
I don't have any problem like you mentioned..

If you wish to set it as system app.. Push nova to system/app with root explorer and set permission to rw-r--r-- and restart your phone..

Also, please download alogcat from the Play Store, and go through the process you mentioned above, in order to get a force close. Run alogcat immediately after closing the force close pop-up. Once it's done running, save it, and send it it to Kevin, or post it here. In depth crash reporting is good, but having a logcat to look at would probably help Kevin even more. :)

I'm on a MIUI rom, however i don't really like the launcher. I've grown fond of Nova, and even bought the prime version.

When i choose a theme with the miui theme manager, the icons doesnt change in Nova. Does this have something to do with the miui icons beeing larger in size? I tried downloading adw launcher today, just to see if there were a difference and it loads the theme icons.

I'm just curious why i't doesnt work, but a fix/feature wouldnt hurt either :)
[Nova Launcher] jeanne8fr:
Since beta 3 and the auto-arrange feature it has become impossible to drop an icon into an existing folder.

You kind of chase the folder around the desktop.

Long press the icon, pick Edit, click on the icon, choose the theme pack, pick the icon, profit.

Now I'm changing the icon theme via miui theme manager, which does change the icons in both miui and adw launcher. But not Nova.
[Nova Launcher] Pons:
Just a fyi, but it's hard keep track of what people are running with "latest beta." Then you have to look at the date/time of the post, look at the release date of the actual latest beta, in addition, the individual might not actually be on the latest beta, which might or might not have been released in the last couple of hours.

I just can't get it to go in the folder. I move left. It goes right, I go right it goes back left. As I said, I chase it all over the tablet.

Only way to get it done is by adding it to the folder using the 3 dots in the corner.

Hey, just a question:

how can I set a swipe action to lock the screen? I've been searching both in app and in forums, and I found nothing. And if it is not possible, take it as a feature request.
[Nova Launcher] Cor-master:
Man this launcher owns apex in speed, and no widget reloading lag when auto rotating either! I bought apex pro only to realize that the only reason it still has the old tablet ui is because they haven't updated it with jelly bean features yet, the new beta has the new tablet ui, which I'm starting to like more now.

Just curious for a future version can we get an option to switch between classic tablet ui and nexus 7 style tablet ui? Thanks

I could have swore that removing app labels from app drawer was an option ? I cant find it o_O

also finding 1.3 beta 5 allot smother and responsive

You'll probably need something like Tasker to do that. You can create a shortcut to lock to screen using Tasker and then program Nova gestures to launch it. I'm using it to "pinch" to lock the screen.

Infinite scroll - drawer

Hi

Been looking around before posting, with Nova, at present, is there any way to get infinite scroll in the app drawer?

Thanks!

Not at the moment. IIRC, it has been requested in the User Voice. Go and drop some votes for it if you'd want to see it in a future releases.

Does the TeslaUnreadPlugin only monitor 1 Gmail address?

I have two - one from Gmail and another my own personal domain email address in Google Apps (which is accessible in both the gmail app and gmail web interface). If I send an email to my gmail address the TeslaUnread count shows a red "1" on WidgetLocker and Nova Launcher, as well as gmail's own icon in Notifications. But for my other custom address only gmail's notification icon shows, Tesla shows nothing.

I have a small issue with new beta on Nexus 7. I have a couple of widgets on my home screen (flip board, bacon reader, a weather widget) and every time I go back from the app drawer back to home screen, it is absolutely empty. However when I try to scroll to next screen, everything suddenly reappears. Seems like an issue with trigger for redrawing the screen.

I am kindly requesting the option to adjust icon size. Coming from MIUI, I have conformed to the default icon size being much larger. I know GoLauncher has the feature to adjust icon size, but that launcher is too clattered and fails to meet the degree of condensedness that keeps me using Nova Launcher.

If not a feature in which icon size is adjustable, is there a method I can manually edit the launcher to change this?

I'm using an HTC One X international version.

[Nova Launcher] BriCo84:
It looks like the feature request system is down...

---------- Post added at 11:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 AM ----------

I disagree with this...this is literally the ONLY feature missing from Nova that I am unhappy about. The goal is not to emulate APEX, but to be as customizable as possible, and frankly I think this one is a no brainer...most skins have the market as an Icon in the launhcer, plain and simple.

This is a very common feature, and I find it hard to believe that if he can add the option in the overflow menu, that he cant force the display of the individual icon. Not sure how requested this feature is as the feature request site seems to be down right now, but this is the only feature keeping me from implementing Nova Prime for all the attorneys in my firm.
[Nova Launcher] scuba156:
Seriously? Having one less button press to get the the play store with a small visual icon difference is what is stopping you from allowing your staff to use nova?
[Nova Launcher] XlAfbk:
put a shortcut to the play store in the homescreen. even less clicks required!
[Nova Launcher] scuba156:
Exactly, or just select it directly from the app drawer.
[Nova Launcher] cstryon:
I have it the icons bar at the bottom of the screen. Seems a simple solution.
[Nova Launcher] TheFiveDots:
Definitely just voted for this. This plus the ability to not join the app drawer with the widgets tab would be amazing (but all app tabs can join). Assuming the two features would have to come hand in hand anyways.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Just set a dock swipe gesture if you can't figure out how to customize your own icons. Use the app drawer to swipe up and open the Play Store...then there's ZERO clicks needed. If you want to use an icon, then learn how to use the "edit icon" feature, find an icon pack, and apply....It's really pretty simple...a lawyer should be able to figure these things out. :confused:

^See, icons can change...

[Nova Launcher] countryteazer:
I'm with you man. Being able to change the size of homescreen and dock icons would majorly appreciated. I've already voted to have this option implemented. It had over 200 votes and I saw a few other similar requests too. I'd be willing to throw a pretty nice donation to the developer as well! Otherwise, the launcher is pretty damn flawless imo.

Home2 compatibility

Hey guys, I'm using Nova Prime on my SGSIII, with an app called Home2 to replace launching S-Voice with Google Now's voice search when double-tapping the home button. The problem is that with Home2, Nova doesn't respond like it should to a single tap of the home button. From another app, it takes me back to the launcher like it should, but another press won't return me to the default home tab or show previews like it's supposed to. LauncherPro responds like it should, it's just Nova that's having this problem. Any advice?
[Nova Launcher] Supermade:
Yes, I have voted already. I am hoping the developer can add this feature.

[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Guys, let's leg Kevin work. I'm sure he's well aware of the User Voice request for realizable icons, and if he hasn't included it, my guess is that it's for one of several reasons:

1) He simply hasn't gotten to it yet

2) He doesn't consider it a worthwhile feature

3) He plans on releasing the option as a Prime-only feature

4) The feature isn't possible

While I personally, would never use the feature, I understand that a lot of you enjoy it, and would like to see it included. However, constant thread requests for it won't get it pushed through any faster....like I said, let's just let Kevin work his magic, and let's see what happens. :)

I just installed Nova today, and I seem to have a weird problem. Whenever I pull an icon out of the app drawer, whether it's a widget or an app it doesn't matter, it doesn't seem to be "stuck" to my finger. It seems to almost be stuck at a distance from my finger. Once I put it down (usually it ends up on top of something else), then I can tap and hold it and move it around as normal and it seems to be stuck to my finger-tip. But for some reason, pulling an app or widget fresh out of the drawer, it doesn't stick to my finger-tip.

Anyone else?

[Nova Launcher] Supermade:
On the contrary, friend. Constant request is a significant way to push a developer for an added feature, given of course in a respectful manner.

The "excuses" you have presented to us do not sound legitimate. My first guess was that your statement was an inference from previous request and not something directly from the developer.

With 200+ users voting for this feature to be implemented on Nova, it is hard to see why not an explanation directly from the developer on why this feature can or cannot be added on, and especially given that users are willing to compensate through donations if this request is fulfilled.

I'm sure the developer's life isn't revolving around Nova or user request, but addressing this would be most prudent for Nova and it's users. If not a feature maybe a run down using a text editor (?) on how to change icon size.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I completely understand your point, and I wasn't trying to infer that the request for icon resizing was, in any way, ridiculous or nonsensical. I was simply stating that there may be a reason (whether we think it's valid or not) that the feature hasn't been added yet. As for the constant requests...there's a fine line to walk between requesting something, and crossing the line into nagging devs. Yes, there are 200+ votes for the feature...that's why my first "excuse" was that Kevin may have, simply, not gotten around to implementing it yet. But realistically, if Kevin doesn't want to add a feature, he won't, and no amount of requests/nagging/bribing will change his mind.

I sincerely doubt that Kevin would ignore such a popular request, but you never know. All I was saying was, let the man work...he'll get to icon resizing whenever he feels like it. I just urge the people requesting the feature to remain polite and cordial about it, since (as I stated) nagging is a sure-fire way to get under a dev's skin quickly. I'm sure the feature will come eventually, but nobody except Kevin, knows for sure.

Is it possible to have one app in two or more app-drawers?

Example: I want to have Facebook in App Drawer A and App Drawer B. Both Drawers are my personal app. Until now, if I put app A in Drawer A, i can't choose app A again in Drawer B.

If it is possible, how can i do that?

Hey,

I am sorry to bring this topic up again... about the transparent status bar.

I am not trying to request it,

but I want to understand what's going on...

My phone is ATT HOX, CleanROM 4.5.

The status bar was transparent when I was using SENSE,

then I switched to NOVA, and it is no longer transparent.

So I searched and I know that there is a way to do it by modifying the systemUI,

but I have no background in any of the codes... so it will probably the last thing that I am willing to try.

I tried to use CD suite tool too, which has an option for status bar transparency, by modifying systemUI, I suppose?

But it deosn't work on NOVA...

So can somebody explain how does it work?

To me, it looks like NOVA is the reason for making the bar not transparent,

but then by searching within this thread, you guys were saying the launcher does nothing to it.

Again,

I am just trying to understand how it works before I decided whether I should try to modify the systemUI by myself...

Thanks

[Nova Launcher] Milamber33:
Correct, Nova has nothing to do with the status bar. If it was transparent before, that is because of something HTC set up to work with their Sense launcher. I'm betting that the status bar went to not being transparent as soon as you opened an app before, right? My guess is that HTC have code in SystemUI which says "If the Sense launcher is what's on the screen, make the status bar transparent. Otherwise, make it opaque". Since Nova Launcher is not the Sense launcher, it treats it as if it's just another app, and goes opaque.

Assuming I'm right about this, it does open up the possibility of figuring out how Sense ROMs detect when the launcher is being displayed and adding that to Nova, but I expect that would be an awful lot of work.

---------- Post added at 09:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 AM ----------

Maybe the transparancy level is set somewhere within the Sense launcher, and by not using it it's set to a default, being zero (or 255)
