Please use the search function, or simply use Google. Helping yourself first is the easiest way to get along and it helps everyone else as well.
[Nova Launcher] Tameghe:
No, it's not my goal, but at the same time I prefer not to waste time in simple workarounds that are not real solutions.
[Nova Launcher] HDFLucky:
External sd card is loaded/scanned last in the boot sequence, so that is likely the reason it's happening. You might be able to fix this by using an init.d script that mounts your sd card as rw. This method worked for sure pre-Lollipop, since init.d contents are read prior to loading Dalvik or UI.
[Nova Launcher] vanessaem:
Speaking of which, it is very nervy of you to come to the developer's thread to ask for a warez version of their work. Are you serious?

See this:

Please don't let it happen again.
[Nova Launcher] nIGhT-SoN:
And let's not say that the free version has the most important features. Payed version is more as a thank you. He deserves that you say thank you if you really like his app. I bought it at a time that it didn't get any updates, before v3, and I bought it because it really is a great app and I'm really glad I did it. As we can see, he still support it and still releases updates. I didn't found a launcher as good and smooth as this one. I'm curious what will he bring in the next version.

If you don't have the money to buy it, than use the free version. You have everything you need.
[Nova Launcher] vanisleguy1976:
Here ya go buddy!

[Nova Launcher] Moondroid:
Absolutely.

And whenever anybody gets any money from me, they should know it's a huge thank you for a job well done. :p

But seriously, yes (I completely agree), say "thank you" any way you can.
[Nova Launcher] iamnotkurtcobain:
A new beta with launcher3 base would be nice :)

A new beta in general would be nice...
[Nova Launcher] SiNJiN76:
Icon moving Lag.

On the Note 3 it is smooth. On my Note 4, when dragging an icon from the app drawer to either uninstall or get app info, the animation starts to stutter. Everything else works fine. Is it my N4 or is there something in Nova that I can do. Already tried reinstalling. Tried on a fresh ROM. On Nova 3.3 still on KK 4.4.4.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
A full rebase takes time, and even more so for a single dev with family obligations. Patience.

---------- Post added at 01:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 AM ----------

Samsung devices seem to be having some issues lately, but they've been mainly related to the 5.0 OTA. Since you're on KitKat, would you mind sharing your setup? Whether you're rooted, which ROM and kernel you're using, and any mods (themes or Xposed etc) you may have... Lag and stutter can be caused by many different things.
[Nova Launcher] SiNJiN76:
Rooted Firekat v10. Stock kernel the Rom comes with. App 0ps. Blurred system Ul. Disable Blocking Mode notifications. Finger lock. X Hangouts. Xsecure Storage. Greenify( not activated). Youtube Adaway. Xposed Additions.

I'm going to hope that Lollipop will fix these 'anomalies' the Great & Powerful /s Note 4 was born with. I don't uninstall apps too often and then it only happens while I hover the icons over those options. So I'm not in a rush. :)
[Nova Launcher] DominoDoug:
When I have folders set to circle animation it locks my phone up. On zoom its fine. Logically I'd say just use zoom but that defeats the purpose of the other option. Running Nexus 6.
[Nova Launcher] HDFLucky:
Sorry for your trouble, but I really don't think it's actionable by the dev without a logcat. If it were an intrinsic problem, everyone would be griping about it.
[Nova Launcher] aaronito:
How do i get rid off when i press the menu button on startscreen en swipe above, then it shows nova settings.

How to i shut this off
[Nova Launcher] vanisleguy1976:
Long press on the button, then click 'edit' then choose 'swipe action' and change it to 'none'
[Nova Launcher] aaronito:
Thx
[Nova Launcher] SiNJiN76:
So it seems that the lag problem I mentioned had something to do with Samsung's system apps. 'Froze' a bunch and the animation is butter. It also eliminated lag I had using Direct Input.
[Nova Launcher] jacakk:
Hi,

I have problem with CM12 theme's icons... After turning them off Nova still is showing icons from theme.

I'm on Nexus 5, CM12 nightly 1.03.2013.
[Nova Launcher] Primokorn:
Go to Nova settings > Look and feel > Icon theme > System if you applied stock icon pack from theme engine (or Lillipop).
[Nova Launcher] PowerAce4:
I can't set wallpaper. It's says "No external storage available"
[Nova Launcher] tmhung2015:
Thanks! i will test
[Nova Launcher] TapDeck:
TapDeck works great with the Nova launcher. It´s a smart wallpaper application that just startet a public invite only beta. Check it out.
[Nova Launcher] androidmybestfriend:
include lock screen as well

Hey , can you please include android lollipop lock screen as well. And also please make the option for white drawer circle available. DO release the update! I am waiting for it..
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
No need to quote the entire OP. A simple thanks would suffice. [emoji6]

Everyone is waiting for the update, just be patient. As for the lock screen - highly unlikely to happen. I doubt Kevin is going to add size to the launcher, in order to add a lock screen, especially when he already builds a stand alone lock screen app.
[Nova Launcher] flying fog:
amazing launcher

have been using Nova before, but now the launcher competition become more and more serious
[Nova Launcher] satriamau:
Been using nova launcher for years. But since i flash a lollipop rom i cannot find the option to hide the notification bar clock on the home screen. Can anyone help?

I'm on cm12 nighly
[Nova Launcher] Primokorn:
Last line of Look & feel menu. Need root access.
[Nova Launcher] satriamau:
Well i'm on cm12 so i got root access. The line is not there. My other root app works well.
[Nova Launcher] Primokorn:

[Nova Launcher] satriamau:
It's not there man :(
[Nova Launcher] Tauras:
Card drawer is laggy on Exynos 7 Note 4. Animations when swiping in both the regular and the card drawer aren't as smooth as on Snapdragon devices. It is frustrating and stops me from using Nova all the time. Touchwiz launcher is actually smoother than Nova.:confused:
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Could be a bug with the nightly build. Have you tried an AOSP based ROM to see if the problem persists?

This isn't surprising actually. Samsung devices have been having a ton of problems with Nova lately. I think the general consensus was that Samsung has broken something on their end - intentionally or otherwise - that makes devices not play nice with third party launchers. If you have all the performance settings enabled in Nova already, and they're still not helping, you may just need to sit tight until the newest beta comes out.
[Nova Launcher] dmihov:
Very Nice :good:
[Nova Launcher] hawkwind212:
If you're using cyanogenmod, shouldn't you be able to hide the clock from the system setting? Usually something like status bar, clock, clock style, disable.
[Nova Launcher] Zordak7:
>>>>¡¡¡Please, I really don't want to start a endless and useless debate; this is a completely innocent question!!!<<<

Which feature (or features) has Nova Launcher that Next Launcher doesn't have? I could try it myself, but well, call me lazy, it's just that, in the description, every feature seems to also be found in Next Launcher.

It's not a question about which one is better or smoother or faster or anything like that, just about its characteristics and effects and animations and that kind of things.

Saludos!
[Nova Launcher] satriamau:
i only want to hide the clock in the homescreen only, bcuz i already use a widget.
[Nova Launcher] Tauras:
Reply to jihiza: It just isn't as smooth. Opening the app drawer (card one) is laggy, closing it is laggy, scrolling isn't smooth either, it misses the smoothness just when I begin scrolling, just for a few moments, then it's smooth until I swipe another page again.
[Nova Launcher] itsdonjuan:
Scroll indicator disappears

Scroll indicator in drawer disappears sometimes .. Anyone here do have the same scenario and have a solution ? ..

What an incredible update!
[Nova Launcher] NovaSlim:
This is Awesome, just signed up for beta and am glad I didn't jump ship and change my username :o
[Nova Launcher] SyCoREAPER:
Not feeling the LP personally. Noticeably slower transitions, text squished in places, menu's not working as expected and apps shifting themselves around in tabs. Sorry to say this feels a step below a beta. Detached from Market for now to prevent accidental updating.
[Nova Launcher] badams1:
I've just messed with it for a few minutes....but the new beta is the cat's pajamas so far.

Very nice.
[Nova Launcher] pa.pn2:
Mhhh after updating my icons from dock do not fit anymore with the others. The edges are smaller in the navbar. Any setting to stretch them that they fit again?
[Nova Launcher] orihuri:
Guys, it's an early beta. Bugs are expected.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
It's been tough to keep my mouth shut this whole time, but enjoy the redesigned launcher guys! Kevin put a ton of work into it!
[Nova Launcher] uconnpat:
Did swiping from left to right for Google now make the cut? Last I checked it was the most requested option.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Edges are slightly smaller because of the way GEL is laid out (which is the new Nova base). There are a lot more choices for icon sizing though, so head to the dock options tab and select a size that works for you. [emoji57]
[Nova Launcher] Tauras:
The animation for card drawer when I'm opening and closing it, is no longer laggy on the latest beta. However, the scrolling is very laggy in the drawer, in fact, much laggier than before.:confused: (Note 4 N910C Exynos 7 Android 4.4.4):rolleyes:
[Nova Launcher] pa.pn2:
Doesn't work with resizing.

Ill go back to previous version....
[Nova Launcher] ROMAddiction:
I haven't found an option for that yet. But I've set the app to activate with a gesture so it's not bad that way.
[Nova Launcher] mrdoug:
Has anyone found options to change dialog backgrounds? I'm having quite the time with this white be everywhere, considering my icon choices.

Hoping it is merely something I'm missing.

Welcome to the ugly that is the material design.
[Nova Launcher] sordna:
The new Nova beta doesn't have any de-materialize or at least dark / KitKat setting?

I kept my phone to KitKat because I like it more, I hope Nova doesn't force the Lollipop look going forward!
[Nova Launcher] ROMAddiction:
Yeah, in the Apps and widgets menu, under the slider for Card Background, select the white bubble beneath it and touch a different color.
[Nova Launcher] TokedUp:
Gestures need tweaking in new beta. I have to swipe to long to get the action to trigger.
[Nova Launcher] :
I can't download beta.. Neither nova site loads.. Perhaps many people try to download and site go down?
[Nova Launcher] 5p10ng3r:
I know it's naturally buggy but i can't find shortcuts menu.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Google Now will likely not be included. It's a proprietary feature, and attempting to "hack" it into the launcher will probably cause more problems than it solves.

---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:26 PM ----------

Things have changed a lot in this version to keep the launcher close to GEL. To get Shortcuts, long press the screen, then tap the widgets icon. From there, you can scroll through both regular widgets and shortcut options.
[Nova Launcher] The Root:
[MENTION=2587550]kevin@TeslaCoil[/MENTION], could we have a dark theme for settings, please? Thanks
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Guys, I'm actually really shocked to see so many negative responses to this release, and I'm especially disappointed to see such harsh first-day criticism from a forum moderator - someone who I respect, but who has been around long enough to understand the ebbs and flows of development. In updating to material design, Kevin gave us what many were clamoring for - a rebased launcher that sticks to the current design concept, with more features, while still focusing on speed and stability. In light of that, I'm not really sure what some of you are crying about. Kevin gives you 90% off what you asked for, but when he releases a new beta, some of you simply dump all over the months (yes, we've been testing for months) of hard work he's done.

And I'd be remiss not to mention this - unlike some other developers, Kevin is refusing - REFUSING - to ask us to pay for this update! During testing, I strongly suggested that he charge for this update, and he emphatically disagreed. He wanted to reward loyal users for their faith and patience... And THIS is how you reward his faith? The responses I've seen here lead me to believe that he really SHOULD have charged for this, because I'm not seeing a lot of gratitude for his efforts right now.

And like others have said, this is an initial beta guys. It's not a completed stable version. I strongly suggest that some of you get your heads on straight, instead of looking a gift horse in the mouth. Be thankful that Kevin listens to our requests, works tirelessly to improve the launcher, and respects his ungrateful users enough, not to even bother charging for a massive update! As for me, I'm out of here for a bit. I try my best to help people, give advice, and troubleshoot, but I can't abide the petulant attitudes that some people display in this thread. If you have a serious issue with the launcher, feel free to shoot me a PM, but other than that, I'm taking a break from this drivel.
[Nova Launcher] irish_711:
Just updated Nova Beta, but I'm now getting orange status and nav bars on desktop. Running a KitKat ROM and was working fine until update. Any ideas?
[Nova Launcher] zelendel:
Ill be honest. First I am not a Forum mod. Second my main issue with the whole deal is that I was happy that he didnt take the same route as other with the joke of a design that google calls material design. Mainly when we all know in a few versions google will ditch it again just like they have done before. I applauded the app for staying true to its roots. With this update I couldnt help but feel that he sold out and now it looks and acts like every other launcher on the planet.

Mind you this are just my thoughts and feelings. I respect the work he put into it and have used nova for years.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Senior moderator, sorry...

Look, I'm in no way trying to tell anyone that they should love material design - everyone has their own concepts of beauty, and that's fine. However, aside from the settings menu, there is no conspicuous material elements in the new release.

I strongly disagree with your belief that Kevin "sold out" though. Like I said previously, you've been around long enough to know that app devs have two choices - adapt to design changes and OS versions, or be rendered irrelevant. Kevin clearly loves this project, and wants to see it flourish, and to do that, he needs to keep the launcher current in every way possible. Selling out would have been him charging for this update, just like Chris Lacy did with Action Launcher... Instead, Kevin opted to go in the opposite direction. I don't see what's wrong with that. If you don't like the update, that's perfectly fine, but I expect moderators of all types, to show a bit more decorum in situations like this, rather than blasting the release by stating that you may have to change launchers. If you want to switch, then do so, but publicly expressing your displeasure with the release of an app - in a forum that you actively moderate - is a bad look.

I went back and reread my post. My post was meant to be an honest question, as I felt I might be missing a setting. However, it was without any expression of gratitude or preceding thanks... That is not how I wanted to come across. I apologize.

Sent from my secret lair in a hidden mountainside.
[Nova Launcher] loqan:
Wow I haven't read this thread or any posts before yours. So I dont know what others were saying/doing.

What do I say is that today this update landed to my phone and I was like WOW! There is only one thing I dont like (Will say later). Otherwise I love it! It feels much more 'lollipoplike' - yea maybe that's what others don't like... I really like new material design and Iam glad that this app fits it well ;) I have been using Nova since Nova's very start. I have paid for that and would pay again if needed. I have tried many Launchers but none of them is like Nova, just none for me. And with all those updates to fit the android version ics, kk, lp.... normaly the launcher would start as ics and end as ics one but you still keep going through all the android styles which is great!

The thing I dont like, though I possibly haven't found that setting yet, is the menu (drawer) button doesn't vibrate on touch :D Yea I know, silly :P

Anyway don't give up! I support you!
[Nova Launcher] zelendel:
Well to be honest while yes I am a mod I am also a normal user just like everyone else. I can voice my displeasure just like everyone else. Couldnt tell you about other launchers as like I said I have only used nova for years. If he charged for this update then that would be on him. I see no issues with it if he did or if he didnt.

As for staying up to date or becoming irrelevant is nonsense. To stay relevant one must Stand out not conform to what everyone else is doing.

Now I wont bother getting into a back and forth on this with anyone. I have my thoughts and just like everyone else I have the right to express them.
[Nova Launcher] The Root:
I was just asking about the settings theming. He doesn't even have to read my request for all I care. I just used to like the dark background to nova menus.
[Nova Launcher] irish_711:
I guess I won't receive any advice in the one place I should be receiving it? But go ahead and keep *****ing about each other... because that's what this thread is for.

Now, has anyone else experienced the orange status bar and nav bar on their homescreens? It seems to be residual from the Nova Settings colors.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
No need to apologize man, I took no offense at all to your post. Everyone is trying to get used to the new feel of the launcher, so questions are expected. My rant was directed at some of the more quick-fire negative responses to this initial beta release. We've both been in this thread a very long time, so I'm familiar with how you post... You may dislike something here or there, but you're never disrespectful or ungrateful. No worries man. [emoji106]

[MENTION=4689523]kenzolo[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4351504]loqan[/MENTION] - the vibration feature on the app drawer has been removed.
[Nova Launcher] ktetreault14:
Just popped in to say I've been using this launcher since I can remember and I bought pro awhile back too. It goes on every last phone I have and will stick with it no matter what updates come out!! Love the work and BTW... my names kevin also :D
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Have you tried a quick reboot? If that doesn't work, I'd suggest making a Nova backup and then clearing app data from the device settings.

If you have any mods - xposed or something like that - it could be causing issues as well.

---------- Post added at 04:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ----------

Again, a feature request is different than a complaint. I wasn't referencing your post. In response to your request though - I'm working on a dark theme, and one that replaces the red with another, less intense color. I'll post it when it's ready.
[Nova Launcher] Thanofski:

It looks pretty good this last beta, but found some bugs related to gestures... It doesn't recognise the gestures I had in previous version... So in the meanwhile I've gone back to previous stable version.

I have not had that issue

As for the dark theme, there is in settings a way to choose any background color :highfive

I will say, I'm a big supporter of lollipop, and material design, but huge hater of the colors rendered. The new Nova is what I was expecting, love it, and not finding any issues.

Did have the issue with background in app drawer, but reading trusty xda found my answer on this forum.

I don't understand the gripping. Last I knew, none of you that are gripping are the developer of this great launcher.

Please be courteous to him. He doesn't have to keep updating this, and yes he could have charged for it. I have no issues with someone expressing the dislike of the update, but decorum and respect can go a long way.

Rant is over. Thankyou for the beta. Love it, and if I find an issue will pm the developer or take it to google+.
