Have you enabled "Resize all widgets" in the settings?
[Nova Launcher] SirKronan:
Loving this launcher. A LOT. Works fine in the system folder. I can see widgets. So far no resizing issues either.

One potential issue is with Pure Calendar. It's my favorite calendar app/widget (even includes tasks!) and resizing works, and scrolling even works pretty well despite it not being on the supported launcher list, but before you can scroll the appointments all flicker on and off several times within the widget. Once they stop you're good to go and all is well, so no big deal.

Also, some way to select/hide apps in the main drawer would be cool. Maybe there is and I just missed it. I'm pretty tired right about now, getting Christmas ready for the kids... lol.
[Nova Launcher] Bazzz66:
Yes I have done that, but where do I resize them? With my adw ex I can push the widget an select edit and then resize it, but I do not get that option with nova
[Nova Launcher] logonaniket:
Just long press on any widget and it will show you two options viz Resize & Remove, select the former, drag it acc to ur needs and volla!
[Nova Launcher] anotherdroid:
long-click the widget and you should get 2 choices, 'resize' or 'remove'.
[Nova Launcher] cforlife:
Drop shadows on the icons and an option for text wrapping like the app drawer. I can't stand when the text is cut off. Maybe an option to get rid of the text would be nice to but I prefer word wrap.
[Nova Launcher] just4747:
So, other than this issue above ^ which still hasn't been responded to or confirmed by anyone else...I just rebooted and got this now.. ummmmm what??

EDIT: Rebooting fixed it for now but can someone or the OP/dev please still look into my above quoted issue? I am still having the widgets go inactive/broken for me after a while no matter what..
[Nova Launcher] Moh_Jay:
loving the launcher but may I ask of a simple feature that when you push menu you don't just get nova settings but the option to go to the actual settings like in the default launcher

My life is cool...
[Nova Launcher] xlillo:
Really nice!

Very smooth and fast!
[Nova Launcher] lindahl85:
I would really love to see support for scrollable widgets in this launcher.

[Nova Launcher] tct08:
I'm pretty sure this and the stock launcher support scrollable widgets. It's the apps that don't recognize ICS as having scrollable widgets.
[Nova Launcher] frysee:
Nice work kevin, Nova works great so far. It would be awesome to specify custom categories for our apps in the drawer (like this). Custom icons should get an option to stretch the chosen image. Only error I noticed was that icons selected via "Browse files" seem to ignore png transparency. Any plans to do other languages than english?

edit: App dropdown doesn't close when pressing home
[Nova Launcher] ssmr2t:
For some reason...I can't see any nova settings...its just a blank screen .
[Nova Launcher] Emama:
Yes..I think this is a must and basic function of a launcher..
[Nova Launcher] AfzalivE:
Can you please release the source? I'm looking to modify the stock Camera but I'm facing some issues (even after a successful compile).

I could use an example of a similar thing.

Thanks!
[Nova Launcher] Emama:
Did anyone notice the widget is not updated?

I found that both switchpro widget and colornote could not update,

I am not sure if it is the problems of those app or the launcher

Can I flash the menu soft key to work with this launcher?
[Nova Launcher] ddarvish:
Can you please add migration feature which will take all of our customizations already made to the stock launcher and copy them over to yours. i hate redoing all the folders and widgets etc
[Nova Launcher] NeutronBomb:
Id love it if we could select the overscroll/scrubber colors so that if we say...used a red theme and this launcher it wouldn't clash. The alternative is having themers use modified versions which throws us off the upgrade path and is real hit or miss anyway.

Hi guys!

Here is a full review on Nova Launcher Prime. Feedbacks are much appreciated.
[Nova Launcher] noobhero:
running widgetlocker + nova launcher

when unlocking from widgetlocker, there is always this notification bar jerking effect.

anyway to make is fade in smoothly?
[Nova Launcher] shooter365:
The latest version is 1.4 you can find it in the play store. Why do you want to use an older version?
[Nova Launcher] pnevroq:
1.1.4 to be precise.
[Nova Launcher] wilcomir:
1.1.4 to be correct. 1.4 and 1.1.4 in software versioning are quite different releases.
[Nova Launcher] Perilla_:
Like have been said, 1.1.4 is latest stable. 1.2beta4 is latest beta, that I think I have seen for some error, and its for donators or something like that.

Question

Is the icon size determined by an XML file? If so which one?
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
1.2beta5 June 4 2012

Color Themes

Icon Themes (Supports ADW and GO Icon Themes)

Widget overlapping w/ send-to-back/bring-to-front

Lock desktop w/ temporary unlock

Faster widget loading

Workaround TouchWiz widgets misbehaving

Improve hardware accel performance on TouchWiz devices

Fix FCs

Misc optimizations

Color Theme is an exciting feature, you can replace the blue highlight in Nova with any color you'd like (full color picker and hex input). If you're using a flashable rom theme the last color swatch in the picker should be the rom's highlight color (otherwise it's black).
[Nova Launcher] :
Hi,

Thanks kevin@TeslaCoil it looks like an awesome update :)

Mostly color theme (for me),thanks!

I install now :),will report...

I do not regret having bought it,each update does not fix only bugs but that adds new features...I never had any bug with Nova so for me an update is a surprise :D

Thanks for the update ;)
[Nova Launcher] solarus2011:
Great update Kevin. Thanks. Quick note on theme support. I am using a theme that applies an overlay to icons that are not supported - this makes them appear similar to the theme's icons. In ADW and Go Launcher the overlay is applied but in the latest Nova beta it is not. Not sure if the issue is with the theme or the Beta.
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
What theme are you using? Nova should fully support Go Launcher icon themes, including the "iconback" and "iconupon".
[Nova Launcher] solarus2011:
I'm using ICS Plates. I have a early release of the next update so I do of course have a message into the developer to see if its something missing within the APK. Since Nova supports "iconback" and "iconupon" then I guess the issue is likely with the theme. That been said, I had a friend try the theme in Apex and the overlays do apply there.
[Nova Launcher] Rblacula:
I am experiencing the same issue. Prime 1.2 beta 5. I'm using Lustre and all of my apps are themed except Angry Birds and there's no back to the others (like if it's not themed) but all in all EXCELLENT update! I made it look like my Apex in less than 1 min. This saved me from getting Apex Pro because I wanted theme support! Nova>>>>>>>
[Nova Launcher] hiz99:
Every time I try to update I get this message
[Nova Launcher] seadersn:
i'm missing custom grid array for app drawer :( beside that it's almost perfect :) make it prime only, no matter, but pls make it *g*

p.s.: voted already with three votes for grids @ drawer :D
[Nova Launcher] kovdev:
I'm wondering if the launcher detects ADW and uses that as the primary source to theme, despite Go compatibility also existing. I think Nova dev will need to set a priority where if the launcher detects more than one theme intent for the same package, it will choose to pull from one of them. In this case, Go Launcher offers superior options for theming apps (such as Angry Birds) as well as the ability to iconback/iconupon.

So to the dev of Nova, I suggest you detect if multiple launchers are supported within the single apk and if so, choose to support the Go portion. That would be the best course of action that I'd recommend.
[Nova Launcher] Rblacula:
That was insightful! That didn't even occur to me, but it makes a ton of sense! I'm impressed in the witchcraft behind this awesomeness! Glad I emailed you. ;)

Also, seeing as though Chrome won the browser wars already on desktops and it's already best on phones and tablets, I'm excited for the next big war: Launcher Wars. Nova and Apex are catching up to each other and it's going to be a good one to watch. Get out your popcorn, folks. Competition really only ends up benefiting the consumer instead of the devs as they poor blood, sweat, and tears into making their app, and I'm rooting for Nova. I only switched to Apex for less than a week for easier themes and this has already caught up in that regard, albeit not completely caught up, but enough to once again be my daily driver. Plus, it integrates with WidgetLocker well! I'd love to see the color theme in that, too, so the app icon notification Holo theme would be the same colour (on Nova I changed it to orange and in WidgetLocker it's still blue) or maybe be added in to the TeslaUnread app. Best of luck!
[Nova Launcher] tarroyo:
Anyone know how to remove the line in the left corner? It only shows up in landscape mode.
[Nova Launcher] Rblacula:
That's built-in from ICS source code; I think it looks cool. Not sure if it's removable tho...
[Nova Launcher] tarroyo:
Is it? Haven't seen it in other Launchers.
[Nova Launcher] fclifton:
Sorry if this has been covered before. I looked but did not find. How does one use Icon Themes (ADW and GO Icon Themes)? I installed an ADW theme that has some icons I want to use, but when I edit an icon and select Icon Pack, nothing is listed. Thanks!

deinstalling apps

With the current beta I have the problem when deinstallaing apps from the drawer:

I select a app in the drawer, move them to deinstall.

After deinstallation it is still shown in the drawer.

After restart of Nova the icon of the deinstalled app has gone

That's a problem I've been experiencing before... I think I've even written someghing about it. The point is: not beta related, it's somewhere else.

Is there anyone to get unread count on my hand cent app in the dock?
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
1.2beta6 June 5 2012

Prefer Go Icon Themes over ADW (Fix iconback)

Minor TouchWiz/SGS3 fixes

Fix FC

Fully uninstall the modified version and install only the official version.

On the nose, I switched it so Go is preferred now and tested with Lustre.

BTW if you have a wishlist for things you'd like to be able to do with the icons as a theme developer I'd be interested in hearing them.

I'll take a look.

[Nova Launcher] wilcomir:
In the options activities, hitting the soft back button (top left) gives problems with the activities titles: just open nova settings, tap on desktop, tap top left back button: title is still desktop. If you hit hardware back button it behaves as intended, or at least as I think it should. Navigating a lot through the options activities also brings a very long chain of them and dismiss it only with hw back button is boring. Can't recall google ics guidelines, but I think top left back button should bring the old activity on top and not create a new one.

cheers

[Nova Launcher] Rblacula:
One thing I've noticed is iconback only uses the grey background even tho there's also green, orange, red, wooden, etc. in Lustre. Ubuntu Unity Go Theme is the same way, as it only uses blueish grey. All in all, new beta is full of win!
[Nova Launcher] encho:

If you mean installing them, then in the play store. If you mean applying the theme, then in the latest beta it's under look and feel and it's called icon theme.
[Nova Launcher] coolbry95:
I have a bug report. The new feature widget overlapping both settings need to be on for it to work. This happens on the newest beta.

1. Turn settings on

2. Go to desktop and drag one icon on to another

3. They should just overlap instead of making a folder like when the settings are off

What do you think about following idea:

Actually, the dock can only be moved as all, and not for every item.

I have three "dockscreens", every "screen" with seven items. I want to move the dock ONE item to the right/left and not the whole "dockscreen"
[Nova Launcher] Ruka82:
There is always problem with the wallpaper that appear stretched.

The only way to see it correctly is to switch to touchwiz and return to nova but when nova reload itself (and happen very often) the wallpaper return stretched.

Already tried to set with every immaginable program and the result is always the same.....and is very annoying!

Edit: forgot to say my phone, Samsung Galaxy S2,last official ics rom (XWLPF)
[Nova Launcher] rgawenda:

Thanks so much! I am coming over from Alex Launcher but I am very impressed. I feel it is quite a bit smoother.

The issue I have is, the lack of ability to remove the label of the file in home screen (when you click on the folder, I want to remove the folder name instead of unknown folder). Alex has an opinion to remove labels all together for folders.

Sorry I know I am nitpicking but that's my 5 cents. Everything else is beautiful!
[Nova Launcher] Jay Evans:
Is this what you want???

Long press on Folder>Edit. Backspace to delete name. OK

Strange, because on mine folders don't have names unless you assign one.

Can provide logs if needed...
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
I see the crash report. You can reproduce this? I've seen the crash for several versions now but it's relatively rare and I've never been able to reproduce. If you can easily reproduce can you let me know the exact steps (like does it only happen just after the launcher opened or even if you let the launcher sit for a long period of time?) and email me a novabackup of your current settings (/sdcard/data/com.teslacoilsw.launcher/backup, my email is kevin@teslacoilsw.com)
[Nova Launcher] gorogituloh:
when I buy nova launcher prime, whether it can continue to get software update, or do I have to buy again when it got the update?
[Nova Launcher] enigma1981:
Yeah I can reproduce it every time I try to change an icon...

Place icon (Opera Mini Next in this case) on homescreen,

long press Opera icon,

press edit,

press change icon,

select quickpic,

select folder containing icons,

select icon...

FC

It's like Nova has shut down due to lack of memory and it can't be pulled back into memory in the same state it was in before (mid-icon change) therefore it FC's

Is it possible to add some sort of 'keep in memory' option - maybe just via labs menu for now while we see if it works?

I dunno if it makes a difference but I've got it installed as a system app as it was still FCing when adding widgets via root helper

(Personally I think it's just cos my phone has virtually no ram - 158mb in total (~25mb free) and it just can't cope lol)

---------- Post added at 07:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 AM ----------

You only buy once - 'prime' is an add-on app that activates the full features in the main launcher program :)

of course you need to pay for prime only once :D

[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
Nova 1.2 should explain the problem rather than FC, but it sounds like you lost root or denied Nova root.

Sounds similar to the Epic 4G Touch, can you Settings > Long-press volume down for Labs > Debug > Broken Wallpaper Scrolling to fix the issue and also email the Show Device Info to me so I can try to make it default that way?
