on beta 11 i though the way the cards stayed there longer was pretty cool.
[Nova Launcher] Skunk Ape1:
I'm about to be slammed here but I am so tired of seeing the same feature request on 170+ pages. Kevin posted in the original post a link to make feature request. Please us it. This is a thread for issues and bugs. Not feature requests.

IMHO... I do not want another bloated resource hog like go launcher, ADW our launcher pro. I and I'm sure many others others are hoping for the same thing as I. A slim fast launcher that has a few customizable options. There are already enough bloated launchers out there if that's what you want.
[Nova Launcher] b_hermon:
Hey everyone, first time poster :)

Forgive me if this has been talked about, I tried looking through the past couple pages and didn't see anything...

Has anyone noticed a lag introduced with beta 12? I was fine before but after upgrading I notice a slight dip in performance. Moving from homescreen to homescreen is slower and transitioning from one window to another (homescreen to app drawer... app to homescreen) seems to be slightly jerky too. Plus... there's been a number of times I pressed the app drawer and I got an "hour glass" circle (not really an hour glass but i think you get what i mean). Lastly, before 12... say maybe with beta 10? I've noticed the edges of other homescreens are visible. In other words If I have 5 screens ( 1 2 3 4 5 ) and I'm on homescreen 3, I can see the left edge of a widget on homescreen 4. Also I've noticed on my far right homescreen (5) that the right margin sometimes disappears completely. Aka my widget is all the way right aligned.

Anyone else seen any of these issues? I'm on a Verizon Galaxy Nexus, non-rooted 4.0.2.

Using bigxie 9-2 and nova on 320dpi but every once in a while the search bar keeps reappearing on the desktop, even though the settings are for landscape only. I have to reenter in nova settings and re-select landscape only to make it go away.

Not a big issue, just noticing stuff.

There is no "search thread" function anymore here!?

So don't know if anyone asked it already but did anyone tried Nova Launcher on the CM9 HP TouchPad?! It is not really usable here. Is it because of the 160 dpi?

BUG?

Hi,

here's something annoying that I noticed. First off, the setting that changes the behavior of the home button on the main home screen doesn't work. Whatever I change it to, it seems to do...nothing.

Also, whenever I get to the main screen by pressing the home button, the whole screen is being redrawn and it sometimes takes even more than 1 second for the 2 widgets to appear. I noticed on other launchers that pressing the home button while on another home screen (not the main one) seems to "slide" all the way to the main home screen and the whole redrawing issue isn't thus there.

I am using the GNex with AOKP M2 and NovaLauncher installed as system app.

Is there anything I am doing wrong? Anyone else experiencing this?
[Nova Launcher] kimboinatl:
I haven't noticed the redrawing bug yet, and I'm on (almost) the same setup as you (AOKP 15).
[Nova Launcher] mrfenyx:
Weird...it happens every time for me. I will try to capture a short video. Also, the Apps in the app drawer sometimes disappear and i can't actually see anything on that screen...

PS: since Screencast isn't working, anyone know of any screen capturing (video) tools for the GNex?
[Nova Launcher] jhericurls:
Totally agree, I would want quite stock look and feel. I've turned off all the animation, I'm after speed and reliability.
[Nova Launcher] kimboinatl:
I do have the app drawer problem occasionally. Are you on a stock kernel? I'm on franco.kernel... Not sure how that couldn't make a difference, but figured I I'd mention it.
[Nova Launcher] danman7:

There are tons of weather apps on the playstore... Also the weather only stays in the search bar if location stays on, at least for me.
[Nova Launcher] PolishPrince:
Problem on Pixel XL.. If I create a shortcut of any pdf file to the desktop, it will not open by clicking on it.. Get "app not installed" error message. I tried same feature using the built-in Pixel Launcher and there were no issues. I have sent this issue to Dev. Hopefully, this can be fixed.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
I believe with Nova you need to create an action to an app that can open pdf files. Nova cannot and never did open pdf files as far as i know. You would need to direct the shortcut to whatever app opens your pdf files. Nova is launcher not a file explorer or reader. I don't believe it would be labeled a bug for Nova if i am understanding you correctly.

World peace can't be done. It just can't exist...
[Nova Launcher] PolishPrince:
Well, what's weird is that creating these pdf shortcuts on my Nexus 5 works fine... Recently upgraded to the Pixel and have essentially the same setup and apps and it doesn't work. Like I said, it works in the native Pixel Launcher, but not on Nova. I would think it would just simply open with Adobe Reader app... Even after I create the shortcut to the desktop, the documents default icon is the Adobe logo. But, when clicked, I get the "app not installed" error message.. I can't figure what app the message is talking about.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Are you creating a widget, a shortcut, an app action? Try maybe doing it as a widget or an app action which opens adobe. Since nova isn't capable of itself opening files, i would think you would need to use the app you use to open pdfs. In this case adobe. Not sure how pixel launcher works as it is just a horrible and fugly launcher much as google launcher was before it. So i haven't a clue how it is done, but i am guessing it just uses an adobe widget...

World peace can't be done. It just can't exist...
[Nova Launcher] PolishPrince:
It's just a basic shortcut. Works fine on my N5 with pretty much identical Nova setup... Thx for the suggestions.. If I figure out the problem, I'll post it here.
[Nova Launcher] SoCu:
Hello, like leaving the fixed background?
[Nova Launcher] PolishPrince:
Crap. I just realized that I cannot even open a simple .txt file when I add it as a shortcut... What the heck is going on? Any clues? Error message is the same: "App isn't installed"... Mercy.

I've got a lot of pricing docs that I need quick access to and for some reason, I cannot open them unless I go through my file explorer (Root Explorer)...
[Nova Launcher] Ja_som:
I can confirm this, I just created a shortcut via Total Commander, and I have the same error...

Swipe to open app drawer missing in landscape?

Not sure if it's an issue or me being ignorant xD

I'm on the latest beta..

Using swipe to open app drawer + arrow indicator, in landscape mode, I can't find a way to swipe open the app drawer.

Arrow indicator isn't there, tried swiping the dock in all directions + all sides of the screen..... nothing happens xD

Am I missing something or is there no way yet to open the app drawer in "swipe to open" mode in landscape (without an app drawer button)??
[Nova Launcher] Ja_som:
In Nova swipe to open in landscape mode does not work, I saw it few times reported in G+ beta group, I hope it will be fixed before stable release...

Would it be possible to add function to use quick shortcuts on app drawer like on pixel launcher ?
[Nova Launcher] Ja_som:
You can, just lock your desktop
[Nova Launcher] PolishPrince:
Yeah! Latest update fixed the issue of not being able to open pdf or txt (probably other file types too) from adding a shortcut from your file explorer. Thanks for listening Dev!

Since dynamic icon is available in Nova Launcher, is there any weather app support dynamic icon ? On OnePlus' H2OS there is a weather app that show current weather condition and temperator on its icon. I'm looking for a weather app with similar feature on Nova Launcher.
[Nova Launcher] zelendel:
All the iPhone icons do that already lol

OK seriously. I have not seen a weather app take advantage of it.
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Use a 1x1 widget like zooper or kwgt to create that effect. Never seen that before but it could be done, just a pain to do. It would need to be built into whatever weather app you use, and launchers would need the api to make it work. If it is a 1 plus feature it may be closed source and not available for public use.

All common sense is gone. All that is left is stupidity.

Need to file a bug report....

Nexus 6 Android 7.1

I've been having an issue where I will hold the home button down to pull up search, tap on the search bar to bring up the keyboard, and within a few seconds the search bar clears itself and closes the keyboard.

I made a screen recording to show you the issue in action. The first instance I don't type anything, just wait, and it closes itself. The second time I starting typing and it happens again. So basically every time I open search I have to tap the search bar, wait for the keyboard to close, then tap the search bar again, then it works... until i need to search something else.

Here is the screen recording

Here is the logcat of the crash

12-03 10:01:36.449 824 1796 seems to be what it spits out when the keyboard actually closes.

I was just going through the logcat and saw TeslaCoil in there, so I tried another launcher. Magically the issue was remedied. I've encountered several people on both stock Android and custom ROMs that are having the same issue.
[Nova Launcher] JohnCorleone:
Not sure if it has been reported yet but the HTC 10 on Nougat update the Sense clock widget located under "Themes" now gives an error loading the widget. I can supply logcat or any necessary information
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Nova may not support proprietary widgets. I know it doesn't support samsung stock clock widgets. It is limited to the device launcher only.

[Nova Launcher] gsw5700:
Sorry if asked before, but how do I setup Nova so I can use a gesture to lock the screen and then use the fingerprint scanner to unlock without entering a pattern/pin... thanks
[Nova Launcher] Ja_som:
Use ROOT method or timeout method, disable device administrator in system settings
[Nova Launcher] JohnCorleone:
It always did in the past but HTC moved their stock clock widget into a new "themes" category where as it used to be in with the other HTC clock and weather widgets which still work. It's very odd. Nougat has introduced all kinds of changes!
[Nova Launcher] Thebear j koss:
Yeah, then maybe the dev at nova just needs time to implement the changes into nova, if it is possible at all. Gotta remember nova is a 3rd party launcher made to work on as many devices as possible and not every feature or device specific option may work. If it doesn't work for all it usually isn't added in as it causes too many headaches for the dev.

Nova Prime questions

Hi all!

I used to have nova prime for my HTC one M8. It use to make my phone run slower/apps wasn't very responsive and it killed the battery pretty quick. So I just stop using it. That was about a year ago.

Now I just upgraded to the S7 edge. I was just wondering if I will be running into the same issues as I did wit the M8.

also, does the notification badge ( like when you get a new mail/message, number would be next to your app icon ) works now? I remember it didnt work for most of the apps.

thanks

How does this 'double tap swipe' gesture work? If I double tap the dt action gets invoked and I never get a chance to swipe. Makes me think I'm missing something :confused:

Open nova settings > press volume down key

This latest update just added the betas features to the stable build?
[Nova Launcher] Ja_som:
Yes
[Nova Launcher] baltics:
Until it installed I did not know one could swipe up the screen to open the Apps Drawer and swipe down the Drawer to close it. Did that feature exist before this release?
[Nova Launcher] Annunneo:
Yes in beta builds.
[Nova Launcher] Ja_som:
Yes, I think, in some version it was a bug with swipe down, when you tried to scroll in drawer, it closes, because of this swipe down feature...
[Nova Launcher] baltics:
I had all of those and never discovered it ;)

There are probably many features I have never used. I must try and research them all.
[Nova Launcher] tele_jas:
That was fixed for me in the 2nd or 3rd beta release and I haven't had that issue since that time? Are you on the newest build (released yesterday)? If you are, I'm out of suggestions myself?

Maybe try a different font just to "test" it?
[Nova Launcher] Stupifier:
The new Pixel type Google Search bar is a great feature but it is not animated like I thought it would be. For example, I would expect the search bar to expand out horizontally upon touch it.

Is there any way to use a gesture or input to start android N's split screen mode? I couldn't see it when I looked through the activities.

And I've noticed difficulties when using tabs with the pixel style "swipe up" app drawer. It exits very sensitively and registers my side swipe as closing the app drawer. Any solution for this?
[Nova Launcher] JohnCorleone:
I really like that search bar as well but the bottom of the date text is getting chopped off and I can't figure out how do adjust it... am I missing something obvious?

Hmmm....My date isn't chopped off. Long-Press on the Widget and see if resizing helps.

[Nova Launcher] :
It's just common sense... On the second tap don't let go of the screen and swipe.
[Nova Launcher] JohnCorleone:
I have been a beta tester and basically Nova became my main launcher the day the first version was posted. It's very strange. My old Galaxy Nexus running CM13 is not having the problem. I think (at least on the HTC 10 Nougat) we might have to experiment with the desktop grid OR the font and display size on the Sense launcher first...maybe shrink the font size and display size then go back to Nova Prime...i will solve the riddle today because even though the Nougat Sense is minimal, Nova comes right back constantly adding something new and it is so good on the battery! Also the HTC themes aren't 100% complete like before so obviously tweaks need to be made.

Then I don't know... I have 7.1.1 stock Google and all shortcuts works. And there is no settings to enable it, if app and system supports it, it shoild work
[Nova Launcher] Crussader:
Is definitely the font.. it was solved on some beta but then it appeared again.. It's font related cuz it doesn't happen on Roboto Regular.

[Nova Launcher] JohnCorleone:
I am thinking that HTC needs to update the Sense app because the 4X1 transparent clock widget is now in a separate "themes" section and before it was in with the other clock and weather widgets
