I just checked, it's the same settings either directly or via Nova. Not sure what you mean by "it's in there". But I have gmail enabled:

And, these settings are working in that I only see unread counts for my primary gmail account and not for emails recieved via my second IMAP account in Kaiten. But as I said, the count is still showing on Kaiten and not on Gmail app icon:

I've been using TouchWiz since I got my Galaxy S4 back in May. I've purchased Prime, but I don't like how the screen gets formatted, which causes me to keep going back to TouchWiz. Is there any reason I should use Nova Launcher over TW?

This is what I'm talking about. The 2nd picture is TouchWiz. Is there a way to make Nova Launcher look just like that with the same space on the sides and top/bottom? (I've messed around with the margins, but have had no luck).

Thanks for any and all help!

(Also, do they plan on letting us have icon names on the dock icons?

TeslaUnread cannot work with DW contact and touchpal contact？

No miss call count for app above.

But work with go contact， why?

anyway to solve this issue?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I'm assuming you're concerned with the 1-2 pixel margin difference between TW and Nova? If that's your biggest concern, I don't think there's anything you can do about it at the moment.

If you don't use/need a scrolling dock, you can set the dock number to 1, and enable "dock as overlay" in order to get app labels on dock icons.

Ultimately (and to answer your first question), nobody *needs* to use Nova. From screenshots I've seen, most people use it because they want an AOSP look, coupled with speed, stability, and customization... They're not usually trying to replicate the exact look and feel of a launcher like TW, Blur, or Sense. In the end, that choice is up to you. :thumbup:

Hi, have this installed and can't use the home button on my samsung i9070?

I have tried changing its use in the settings, but not matter what i set it to it does not work?

any ideas?

thanks
[Nova Launcher] PhilipTD:
Try clearing defaults. Manage Apps > Nova Launcher > Clear Defaults
[Nova Launcher] carperman:
Thanks for reply.

checked that and it says

No defaults set

the clear defaults button is greyed out so can't do reset.
[Nova Launcher] PhilipTD:
Are you on the stock rom?
[Nova Launcher] carperman:
No, am using this rom

[Rom][JB] Pure Vanilla ★ Smoothness Refined ★ Solid Stable (25/6/13)

It comes with Nova as default launcher.

thanks
[Nova Launcher] PhilipTD:
Is the home button completely non-functional, i.e., nothing happens when you press it? Or do you get a FC?
[Nova Launcher] carperman:
I get nothing happen at all!

thanks
[Nova Launcher] PhilipTD:
Do you have the Toggle Lock Screen widget in your notification drawer? If so, make sure it's off.
[Nova Launcher] carperman:
By notification draw do you mean the top or bottom?

In the bottom i only have contact and show apps.

In the top pull down i am not sure what all the symbols mean?

Not sure if related, but when i receive an email in K9 i get notification sound, but nothing on screen or in top pull down as i did with standard launcher?

I tried clearing all data for Nova and rebooting, but no joy.

thanks
[Nova Launcher] PhilipTD:
It's in the top pulldown. See screenshot: the lock symbol on the top right should be greyed out.
[Nova Launcher] carperman:
nope still the same :(

Will try and load standard launcher
[Nova Launcher] PhilipTD:
Well, the only other thing that I can think of is if you are using Xposed Framework, in which case you should make sure that none of your modules have the home button disabled. Otherwise, if the problem first arose when you flashed Vanilla, then you should try re-flashing. That is about the extent of my limited knowledge. Sorry I couldn't help.
[Nova Launcher] RedSkyRoad:
Bug report:

When selecting 7 columns, the identical Zooper widgets that meet each other at the two homescreen borders, have a 1 pixel wide line separating each homesceen. It seems as if this is a black frame that goes right around the widget if the widget is filling the homescreen completely...

When selecting 6 columns, this line disappears and the widgets join seamlessly over each homescreen...

I am using a Sony Xperia Z. I love how the navigation bar and status bar appear transparent on the stock Xperia Home. I have attached screenshots too, I would love to have the same with Nova Launcher, at least on this device if it is possible... Can someone reply me? Is this possible?

Edit: Sorry I got it done... So stupid of me, I never used the 'Transparent Status Bar' option before so thought the feature I want isn't included. Beautiful launcher, since I first got it! :)

[Nova Launcher] mash4077fan:
I was wondering from anyone here using nova launcher, is there a way to change the backup location from the internal sd card to the external sd card. I know you can copy and paste but what if we buy a different phone can we copy backups to external card and then put that in a new phone and paste it to the internal sd card there and then restore back up? I am currently on the sprint s3 and might be upgrading to the sprint note 2
[Nova Launcher] mauam:
I think is possible, no problems at all. Wow, that's you in the video. Great musculature, I wish I liked having these muscles, but I'm too lazy.:p

Hi,

I just bought nova launcher prime and I want to use one of the gestures to lock my screen. I tried look for it everywhere in the list of actions but I cannot find it. Is there a way to do this without any other app?

Thanks,
[Nova Launcher] RaNDoLpH-GT-I9505:
the best!

the best launcher! for me thank you :D
[Nova Launcher] mrdoug:
A few pages back this was discussed. You will need a separate app (they are very small). Then just assign a gesture to that. I, personally, use 'turn off'. It works perfectly on my HTC One.

http://market.android.com/details?i...ife&utm_campaign=tv.marinelli.android.TurnOff

There are other suggestions a few pages back, too. Jump back, maybe 10 pages (depending on your tapatalk/xda-app setup) and check out the thread. :)

Is it possible to make the dock only show up on one of the homescreens? I want it on screen 2, but when I swipe for screen 1 or 3 then the dock disappears.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I don't think that's possible. The only thing you could do is disable the dock, and place the folders/apps you want, on screen two where the dock would normally be.
[Nova Launcher] oae08:
If it was a rom issue, other launchers would have the same problem.

I think it is a launcher / rom compatibility issue.

[Nova Launcher] wamu93:
Sorry if it's has been asked before, but this thread is 239 pages long here is my issue with nova prime..

On my note 2 I had an older version of nova launcher prime and when I tap and hold the icon to change the picture of the icon, I was able to just select a picture without cropping it or anything and it would fit perfect no need to re-size or anything. Now I moved on to the note 3 and unfortunately I did not back up my old nova and have to download the most current one that is giving me issues when tapping and holding an app icon to change it's picture to something else, I can select another picture but this time i have to crop there is no other option and when i do select it the icon is small with a white background on it, it's like that for every small picture i select to replace the orginal icons picture, which are small same dimensions as the pictures its replacing. Anyone know of a workaround or a setting I am missing to keep the pictures from needing to be cropped or having a white background to em? Thanks greatly appreciated!
[Nova Launcher] PhilipTD:
What picture viewer are you using? Stock (gallery)?
[Nova Launcher] wamu93:
if this was directed at me, with the older version and new version nova I would choose es file explorer to navigate/choose image, but in the older version of nova it would just let me select the whole image completely with no white background(transparent) these images are just small images of icons to replace the stock phone/textmsg/gmail icons on the dock. Like I said I am no longer able to just select an image and have it be transparent like before, now the icon(image) has a white background to it. Hope it makes sense..
[Nova Launcher] PhilipTD:
Are the images all .png?
[Nova Launcher] wamu93:
yes, they are the same ones I have used on my note 2 and are .png's transparent, ill upload a SS in a bit I have not installed tapatalk so you can see what I mean
[Nova Launcher] wamu93:
Here are the screenies
[Nova Launcher] Mr.MaGillaCutti:
No HotSpot?

So. When this took over my phone like a parasite I was like whoa. But I started playing with it and I started diggin it more n more. Im digging the infinity scroll. Ive been looking for that. The exchange from last page to first is kind of dramatic but its cool. Everything is super smooth and vibrant. The customization options are sweet.

HOWEVER.....

I already liked my 'spin' screen animation..although I was diggin the 'card stack'. So. Id say add some more screen animations. Those are important to people.

I noticed it did not support HotSpot....or maybe I just couldn't set it up correctly. Anyway..

That was the deal breaker for me. I couldn't even uninstall the app, mostly because I dont know how once it accesses rooted options, so I had to do a Recovery. No biggie. If I knew how to turn on HotSpot Id say it and Trebuche combined are the team.
[Nova Launcher] PhilipTD:
Please forgive me if I am not getting it right away. Do you have the functionality depicted in the attached screenshots?
[Nova Launcher] wamu93:
Yes i do, get those options,but when i actually go to select a .png file i get the crop mode u seee in my screenshot. Before i was just able to select the image eith no need to resize or crop, I'd just select it and it would show just the icon with it's transparency and not the white background i am getting now
[Nova Launcher] PhilipTD:
How about if you choose the file with the gallery?

Wait a minute, now I remember. There used to be in the older versions of Nova a dialogue that popped up when you wished to edit an icon which said "Select File", or, alternatively, "Select and Crop File", or something like that. Now, however, the selection process is effectuated through the "drawer pages" represented in my screenshots.

Well, I'll think about it, and hopefully come up with something.
[Nova Launcher] wamu93:
With the gallery i cannot browse to the folder where the icons are on my micro sd card
[Nova Launcher] PhilipTD:
Copy and paste them to internal memory. It's worth a try, in the meantime.

Need to support transparent status bar

using Nexus 4 with Carbon ROM, which allows to set transparency to status bar.

nova's support to transparent status bar is poor. You can learn from Trebuchet and Apex.

[Nova Launcher] apoklyps3:
Actualy tasker is nothing short of lame. Doesn't do nothing near of what i was asking for. Creating a widget on wich you enter and then it listens to some gesture? what the hell would i want to do that? i already have a widget that toggles wifi. i want direct wifi toggles with swiping gestures on home screen or app drawer. Maybe it's not possible (altough it should be since they are system calls and they can be found in the status bad).
[Nova Launcher] latino147:
I've been a longtime happy user of Nova. Concerning 'app management' I place my most used apps categorized in folders on the desktop (one screen) and hide all the apps on the desktop in the app drawer so I am left with the B-category apps in the drawer. So far so good.

Sometimes I am looking in the drawer and want to place a hidden app on the desktop, however I can't seem to find a method to quickly 'unhide' the hidden apps like you can do when adding an app directly on a home screen with long press.

Anybody knows a trick to quickly show the hidden apps in the drawer?
[Nova Launcher] KreNtal:
Tap on the name of the tab in drawer and choose "all apps" ;)

Waiting for N5 . . .
[Nova Launcher] PhilipTD:
I understand your frustration.
[Nova Launcher] BobbaLouie:
Tasker is awesome if you understand the limitations of the Android OS and learn how to use it, which does take time.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Are you talking about the mobile hotspot (aka tethering)? If so, Nova has nothing to do with that, but there are plenty of widgets you can use, to create hotspot toggles.

I haven't ever used Tasker, and probably never will, but if all you want is a quick, unobtrusive way to toggle wifi, why not use something like Widgetsoid, and create a notification widget? Honestly, Kevin probably has much better things to do than worry about the one or two people here, who want to toggle every setting on their phones, using gestures. If using two clicks to activate wifi is too much "work" for you, then that's a you problem... It's not Kevin's job to fix lazy. :-\
[Nova Launcher] apoklyps3:
and your problem is talking witout beaing questioned.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
*Being... :-\

Honestly, I'm not even interested in getting into a pissing contest here. You posted in an open forum, which means anyone has the right to comment. Whether that comment is constructive or not, is not up to you to decide. I offered a suggestion (Widgetsoid), and explained why you may have to wait a long time for the feature you're requesting. If you can't accept the truth, then again, that's a you problem.
[Nova Launcher] Mr.MaGillaCutti:
HS
[Nova Launcher] apoklyps3:
Yes you are trying to get into a pissing contest. It is a open forum and you have the right to comment, yet you do it without reading all my posts. If you have done so you would have known i'm not interested in any other alternnatives and that includes widgets.If I was ...i wouldn't be posting here DOHHH. So when i say that you talked without being question I am right and you do it very poor also.

I paid money for Nova Premium and so I am entitled to ASK (read it well it doesn't say DEMAND) for some extra features. I'm sure the author doesn't mind and maybe he we will work towards adding them or not. so I have no problem whatsoever.
[Nova Launcher] Mr.MaGillaCutti:
What sort of extra features does it offer if you pay for it?

Are they worth it?

..if they are. I'd ponder shelling out some cash too.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Yes, I have seen your previous posts, so I do have an idea of what you're looking for. Yes, you have the right to ask for features... I never accused you of demanding anything. I've watched and been active in the development of of this app, since it was Alpha, so I have a pretty good idea of how Kevin usually works.

The truth is, your request will probably not be realized, because it's low-priority. Again, I suggested Widgetsoid, but that clearly won't live up to your standards. You can set up a Nova gesture to go directly to the wifi setup menu, but I have a feeling that two actions - a gesture, followed by a tap - is too much work for you. If that's the case, I guess you shouldn't use wifi, because turning it on and off will just waste too much of your time... Or, you be satisfied with what we currently have available - notification toggles, homescreen toggles, Quick Settings toggles, etc - some are better than others, and some are less obtrusive than others, but they all do the job. They won't activate wifi for you by reading your mind, but they do work.
[Nova Launcher] apoklyps3:
yep...I was right, wasted my time replying to you. commonce sence is a super-power, it's too much to ask for it from all people.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Drawer grouping, dock swipe gestures, unread count (SMS, Gmail, calls, etc), hide apps, additional gestures, and some more transition effects. That's straight from the Play Store description, and it's been a while since I paid for it, so I don't even know what's a paid feature or not any more, lol. I found the purchase worthwhile, but if you only need/want basic functionality, you might be fine without Prime.
[Nova Launcher] Mr.MaGillaCutti:
Ok cool.:good:

Question.:confused: Is there a way to run this app to where it IS un-installable? Last time I had it there wasnt that option in Play Store. I had to flash to a backup.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
I assume it's part of your ROM? If so, you have a couple of options:

1) use Titanium Backup to switch Nova from a System app to a User app

2) flash a different ROM

3) before you flash a new ROM build, use an archive manager (7zip or something else) to remove Nova from /system/app. *Only do this if you have another launcher that you can replace Nova with*

Obviously the first option is the best... TiBu really is a great tool, but you'll have to repeat the process every time you flash a new build, which sucks.
[Nova Launcher] FreakeSport:
wdf? actually this also happens with any other launcher, even the trebuchet stock one!

I cant place any icons to the dock, and when i do, they just stuck there and disappear from the place they were before.

this freaks me out, is there any fix for it? ;s
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Is that on an official CM build? That looks like a bad systemUI dock margin edit... :what:

Is the notification listener going to be used from Android 4.3 so we can get notifications on all the apps icons
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Have you tried checking the 'Widget Image Async List' option in the Labs menu? That *may* help with your issue.

This would be an excellent addition to the launcher. Even though I wouldn't use it, I think a lot of people would, and since the code is already available, I'd expect the merge to be pretty straight forward. :thumbup:
[Nova Launcher] Deeco7:

Hello,

I recently purchased prime, to see if the problem disappears, but it doesn't

the screen is TOO sensive, meaning if I tap an icon, immediately pops-up a menu giving me the options to move, delete or edit. So I have to tap multiple times to start the app.

Is there any way to solve this, it's gone when I put the stock launcher back.

Would it be possible for you to add an option to put a background behind app labels or change the app label text color? Just thought that would be a nice option if even possible.
