Adding MENU action to Nova

I will explain again. All I wanted is to add MENU action to NOVA ACTIONS. Nova launcher shares some common actions for us like RECENT, SHOW PREVIEWS, TEXT SEARCH and more. The MENU action isn't there.

Once a MENU action will be added. I could run it using some gesture. Other than pressing the MENU hard key which will be mapped to RECENTS rom-wise as you suggested.

[Nova Launcher] sniry:
Thanks for your help.

Checked again. After playing with the settings a bit more, I found out that RECENT, for example, does show after pressing HOME button while on home screens. SHOW PREVIEWS and APP DRAWER don't work :(

BTW, there is an option there to enable it not only on default home screen so it would work on any home screen.

Haptic feedback when opening applications?

Hi,

I have enabled haptic feedback on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP JB 5 and it is working all over the phone, except for when opening applications from the desktop or from the drawer. Does nova support haptic feedback for opening applications? I have Prime if it matters.

Thanks.
[Nova Launcher] Staggers:
1) Set up one tablet as you like

2) Backup widget setup using Nova Backup and Import function (Nova Settings > Backup and Import > Backup). Note that by default, Nova backups are saved to /sdcard/data/com.teslacoilsw.launcher/backup

3) Backup all the widgets themselves using TiBu pro. Note that by default, TiBu backups are saved to /sdcard/TitaniumBackup

4) Install Nova and TiBu pro on the new tablet

5) Transfer all backups from one tablet to the appropriate location on the other using your favourite method (copy via PC, Dropbox, bluetooth, etc.)

6) Restore widgets first via TiBu, then restore Nova setup via Nova's B&I function

N.B. If the widgets in question have internal config backup options (such as APW does), you may want to use them and copy the settings/preferences files over also
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
It may be easier to simply make one backup, export it to Dropbox or Box, and use that as a "universal" restore option for the second tablet. TiBu will restore Nova in the exact state it was in, prior to the backup. :)

Problem "moving" backup to another device

I just upgraded from a Galaxy S3 to a Galaxy Note 2.

I took the Nova backup file(s) from the Galaxy S3 and dropped them into the proper folder on the Galaxy Note 2 (I verified the folder by first creating a backup on the Note 2).

When I use Nova's restore feature it doesn't even show the old backups in the list, only the current one even though they are all there.

What am I missing?

Also, I can't get Nova to stay the default launcher. It keeps going back to Touch-Wiz (geez, what a horrible name!).
[Nova Launcher] tommo123:

Quick question, is beta 5 the newest, or the stable version on Play? Thanks
[Nova Launcher] 3rdstring:
The Play Store version is the newest IIRC
[Nova Launcher] MisterEdF:
That doesn't answer my question, but yes, I know that works, except I haven't rooted yet. Since the phone is only 24 hours old I want to hold off for a week or so in case it has any issues.

I haven't seen an "unroot" restore to factory thread yet.

I can't drag and drop apps from one desktop to the other. I have a BQ Maxwell Plus 7'' tablet with 1024x600 resolution.
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
You can't drag and drop from the drawer to the desktop, or from one homescreen to another? That seems like an almost impossible problem to have either way, but then again, I'm not familiar with your device. What OS version did it ship with, and (a better question) was drag and drop working before you installed Nova? :confused:
[Nova Launcher] azazel71:
make sure desktop isnt locked go to nova settings, desktop, scroll to the bottom of the page make sure lock desktop is unchecked,return to desktop. If you then open app drawer and long press any icon it will then show the desktop preview then choose were you wana drop the shortcut ,if you want to move said icon to another screen long press again and slide to the edge of the page and it will turn said page and you can drop it were you likey:)

Did you try exporting a TiBu backup of Nova to Dropbox or Box, and then restoring it on your new device, by using TiBu to import it??
[Nova Launcher] carlo67:
what do you mean about exporting and import?
[Nova Launcher] jjhiza:
Titanium Backup will allow you to make app+data backups, and restore them. If you're rooted, you can backup Nova and export it to Dropbox, Box, GDrive, etc. and then import that backup from any device you have TiBu on. If you're not rooted, I have no idea how to work around the Nova backup issue, if it isn't working from device to device. :o

I am newbie at Nova Launcher so sorry if this is a noob question. I searched through the thread but I didn't see any answer to my problem (or I just missed). So my problem is that whenever I close my Gmail app the phone switches back to normal Touchwiz launcher instead of Nova. My phone is S3 with Omega v31 rom but I tried it with other roms aswell and didn't work. I use my Gmail application often so it is annoying for me that I have to relaunch Nova after closing Gmail. Does anyone noticed this bug or is it just appears to me?

[Nova Launcher] Staggers:
1. Nova Settings - Set Default Home - select Nova and make sure to check 'Always'

2. You might also consider going into Settings - Apps, look for Touch Wiz and clear its defaults. This step shouldn't be necessary, but you can do it just in case.

When the screen turns off after 15 secs of inactivity, if i press the home button then it turns on at the home screen instead of the screen i was looking before it was turned off. This is very annoying especially when I am in an app because i have to open the app again. Is there a setting that prevents the phone from waking up at the home screen when i press the home button?
[Nova Launcher] truewt:
This doesn't seem like launcher behavior, maybe rom can do it but I don't find it possible for my rom.

Try setting a longer time out option..
[Nova Launcher] scuba156:
It's because your pressing the home button, which will take you back to the launcher. Use the unlock button instead. Nothing to do with nova either.
[Nova Launcher] Eddiemc:
It's rom related.

Maybe you're using an sg3 with stock based rom. This is the default behaviour. Very annoying.

Now I'm on aosp and the home works as it's supposed to by waking the phone, bringing me back to last app.

What you can do to fix your problem is install widgetlocker, turn on the home helper and the block other app home setting or whatever it's called. You'll get the functionality "wake with home" back, but there will be a small delay.

Add Drawer Groups - what is diff between "Apps" and "App Group"??

I just installed NovaLauncher Prime, and am adding tabs in Drawer groups.

Something I don't understand is the dropdown where you select "App Group", "Apps", or "Widgets".

What is the difference between "App Group" and "Apps"? I only see "Apps" in the initial set of tabs when I first start NovaLauncher.

Is there any help file for this launcher anywhere, besides this thread?

Also - the "About" box has nothing in it, Kevin's web site has links that go to dead pages, and NovaLauncher isn't even mentioned on his main apps web page... not confidence-inspiring, despite the quality of the launcher. :-/

- Tim
[Nova Launcher] jeanne8fr:
The about box isn't empty on my system and the Web site is all about nova launcher. Are you looking at the correct web site?

http://novalauncher.com/
[Nova Launcher] tbessie:
I'm on a stock Galaxy Nexus with the latest updates. The About Box says "About", but it's all black beneath. Very odd.

I've noticed some other issues (which are probably known), like after the contents of an App Group are modified, when you return back to that App Group (at least in some cases), the contents are not modified until you navigate away and back. But I should probably compile a list of these tweaky bits and see if they're listed here.

As for the web site issues, after a cursory check:

Feature Requests link: http://feedback.novalauncher.com/ - nonexistent

Main TeslaCoil site: http://teslacoilsw.com/ - doesn't mention NovaLauncher

Not meaning to appear here and be a grump, just mentioning these things. :)

[Nova Launcher] sabret00the:
The issue appears to be exclusive to you. Both links work fine for me.
[Nova Launcher] Staggers:
The first URL tbessie quotes also works for me, so it's a problem on his end. However, his point about the 2nd one was that it appears to be the main page for Teslacoil Software, yet it doesn't list Nova Launcher anywhere, which is true. It seems that Kevin has abandoned that page, however, as the most recent update is dated Feb 24, 2011. The main Nova Launcher page is up-to-date though.
[Nova Launcher] gcogger:
Same for me on a stock Galaxy S3 (Jelly Bean).
[Nova Launcher] MJPollard:
Not sure if anyone has reported this yet. I'm using Nova Launcher with CM10 on both my Samsung Galaxy S III (AT&T) and Asus Transformer TF101. When using custom themes (both from others and ones I'm creating), I'm noticing that some themed app icons are not showing up properly on the SGS3 (the original app icon is displayed), whereas they

are

showing up just fine on the TF101. After doing some poking around, I'm thinking that it may have something to do with icons in the res/mipmap-xhdpi directory, and

only

in that directory. (For example, my theme has three custom red browser icons, which are stored in the res/mipmap-xxxx directories. The TF101 shows it, the SGS3 doesn't; the TF101 is a MDPI device.) Heck, for all I know, it's an issue with themed icons in

all

the XHDPI directories; this was not exactly exhaustive research. :) However, it may be enough to track down the problem, which I'm hoping can be resolved eventually as I really like Nova (I was an ADW user until I got the SGS3 and saw how sluggish ADW was under ICS).

Edit: For what it's worth, Trebuchet, Apex, and ADW all show the proper themed icons under CM10 on the SGS3. It's only Nova that's not showing them.

Desktop Screen Order

Kia Ora,

Hopefully this hasn't been answered already - I have searched but maybe using the wrong phrase...

Tossing up between Nova and Apex.

Only annoyance with Nova is that to set a particular default home screen on the desktop, I have to change the order of my screens, or add a blank screen. Make sense?

Apex allows me to set whichever screen I want as the default home, and does not change the order of the screens, however I would like to use Nova as I find it more responsive on my phone.

Is this feature I want available in Prime?

Cheers.

Same here. For me it only happens to the tab directly next to the Apps tab and when tapping directly rather than swiping.
[Nova Launcher] blueday:
Okay, I'm not sure why this is happening but I've narrowed it down as much as I can. For some reason whenever I use any widgets on my phone when the desktop grid is stretched out beyond 5x5 they become distorted looking. I've provided a few examples here of what they look like. http://i.imgur.com/KhAnG.png http://i.imgur.com/Gjx2V.png http://i.imgur.com/ElQeT.png http://i.imgur.com/QWSLV.png These are all before and after pictures respectively.

I'm not sure what's causing this but I've narrowed it down to a few things it's not. It's not the rom because I've tried it on touchwiz, AOKP, and Cyanogenmod so far. It's not the widget because it does this for every widget there is. So I'm really not sure what could cause these sorts of distortions. This seems to be the only real issue I have with Nova Launcher thus far that is really unbearable to live with. Any help with this will be MORE appreciated than you can possibly imagine. I've been wrestling with this for three days so far. I've rooted and flashed my phone and that was barely a couple hours, but this has been the issue I have struggled with the most the last three days.
[Nova Launcher] defcon888:
I posted this on another thread...sorry for the double post.

I have NOVA Prime and love it. I have customized my screen to the exact way I want it. I then BACKUP my settings and verify that they are backed up (I use ES File Manager or Android COmmander on my PC). I then flash another ROM and install NOVA lancher. I then try to RESTORE my setting and it says that there are no backups....so I check again with my file manager or Android commander and it shows them being there.

How do I get this to work?
[Nova Launcher] androidjobe:

i did a search before i decided to post this but has anyone noticed any lag with the gestures?

i have it configured with 1 finger swipe up to open App Drawer. there is a slight lag associated with this gesture : the app drawer doesn't come up until after you lift your finger.

However, if you configure 2 finger swipe up to open App Drawer, the app drawer opens as you swipe up (which i found very nice).

perhaps its by design and i'm not thinking straight.
