I tried to modify this icon but i lose the transparent background. Is there an app that can help me out because I also want it to be white.

ICS gave me cavities
[Nova Launcher] ashok:
thanks for making this beautiful launcher. Can u make an update with infinite scroll in drawer?
[Nova Launcher] twistedumbrella:
Are you updating the link to the download somewhere else? The link in the op still goes to version 1.0

[Nova Launcher] akash4357:
Thank you for the launcher! Much much better than the stock ICS launcher. Looking forward towards your future updates.

Thank you very much. :)

Thx for this nice launcher, bought it directly from market.
[Nova Launcher] wolfomega23:
Really sweet Launcher. I used Apex Launcher for awhile but the Market release for Nova takes the whole Cake! Great work homies!

Black Appdrawer and "empty" Homescreen - sometimes

I often get a black Appdrawer appearing without any icons, when i switch 3-4 times from the homescreen to the appdrawer. The same happens with the Homescreen. The background ist still scollable but there are no widgets or icons at all.

The funniest moment was when the Homescreen and Appdrawer where "empty" at the same time.

Switching from one to another 3-4 times gives me one or both back. Any one with the same Problem? Using GNexus Stock.

[Nova Launcher] e2zippo:
Just bought the prime version.

However, i get some grapical glitches when i scoll to the last homescreen on the left, a piece of weird looking textures pops up, and it shows on the lock screen as well if i stand on that homescreen when i turn the screen of.

I tried Nova about a month back and i had the issue then as well.

Any ideas?
[Nova Launcher] blackbearblanc:
Hopefully there will be an option to lose the shades on top and dock..
[Nova Launcher] daniel9522:
can you please fix the app drawer for tablets does not re-size properly getting 5x5 grid

[Nova Launcher] wouwout:
Yes, same issue here. Had to switch back to the default launcher om my Galaxy Nexus. Hopefully this will be fixed soon!
[Nova Launcher] elias0441:
Have you tried restarting nova launcher? It should resolve the problem
[Nova Launcher] gsu_golfer:
Anyone else having trouble removing the persistent search bar? It doesn't size properly on my Droid PRO, so it looks weird.
[Nova Launcher] brunoisa10:
just go to nova Settings and then desktop and click on Search Bar and set it to never
[Nova Launcher] gsu_golfer:
I did that, to no avail.
[Nova Launcher] brunoisa10:
and it isn't disappeared ?

use restart Nova to be sure
[Nova Launcher] gsu_golfer:
Nope :(

Was looking forward to getting this to work so I could have homescreen backups.
[Nova Launcher] bozzykid:
What happens when you drag it on top of the x?
[Nova Launcher] OSully:
Would love the option to lock homescreens.
[Nova Launcher] gsu_golfer:
Boy am I dumb. Never even tried that. I assumed that wasn't possible (as it's not for me in CM9)

Thanks
[Nova Launcher] wouwout:
Yes I've tried that, but the problem returns after a few home button clicks. Same after a restart of the phone. (this is regarding blank app drawer and/or blank screens)
[Nova Launcher] beshkenadze:
I was wrong, everything works fine :)
[Nova Launcher] Taverius:
Wallpaper tinting like widget locker would be awesome :)
[Nova Launcher] blackbearblanc:
W this white wall i can see gradience nit only in top and buttom. But also in middle...between these two arrows.

Right at the arrows u can see lines of the original white behind the shading.

Could this shading be removed somehow, Kevin?

I guess its a stock ics shading..but quite annoying..or have i done something wrong?

Edit.. hard to see on screenshot. But add your own white wall and check.

Could you separate the the Market Shortcut from the rest of the action overflow in the app drawer, and make it a separate shortcut in the App Drawer, and make the overflow regular, where it only show for those without a menu key. Ex:

Could you also stretch out the 4x4 grid to take up the maximum height when there's no search bar?
[Nova Launcher] resynx:
Whenever returning to my home screen from an app all my screens are blank and everything has to reload itself. Anyone else experiencing this?

Yes, very annoying. Seems to be a ICS issue? There's a script named supercharger to fix this, but it isn't 100%.

[Nova Launcher] rich_bown:
been speaking to the dev and there's a way round it:

"FYI I heard back from the MultiPicture dev and his Settings > Workarounds > Ignore vertical movement seems to do the trick. Still talking to see if we can get better defaults or auto detection or something, but for now that should work."
[Nova Launcher] Saito2185:
Just downloaded and tried Nova, love how much you can customize it. Might be replaceing GO launcher on my phone when ICS comes out on it :)
[Nova Launcher] dragunbayne:
I have never heard of this app before, but it is exactly what I have been wanting for a long time. The workaround however does not seem to work for me. I'm thinking maybe because I have 4 screens and not 5. Going to test and get back to you.

EDIT: Set it to 5 screens and it did not help. It just stays on whatever the wallpaper is for the homescreen.
[Nova Launcher] larma:
This is by far the best launcher I've used. I might look into the prime version once the 2X gets a stable ICS rom.
[Nova Launcher] pedmond:
Can't be an ICS issue, as this doesn't happen with other launchers.
[Nova Launcher] sbenson1226:
A search didn't turn up anything and combing through 335 pages doesn't sound like fun, so I'll just ask - has anyone experienced this?

Sometimes my folder icons are shrunk (see the image on the right). I have to restart Nova to get them back to the normal size. This seems to happen at random, on all different roms. Strange? Is there a way to stop this from happening?
[Nova Launcher] dmarden:
I've seen it once or twice as well... along side the odd issue where sometimes dock gestures stop working (until I restart Nova or go to preview and hit home a few times).
[Nova Launcher] :
Is it possible to have an option like folder orginizer? Every time you install an application, to ask you in which folder it will go. It is the only way to leave from folder orginizer and use the interal folders. There is not this to vote for it, so I propose .. :)
[Nova Launcher] mfractal:
Great launcher! Installed ICS yesterday and i am loving it with Nova!

The only issue (sorry if it was already discussed), i can't seem to be able to resize some widgets (that were resizable just fine with adw or go launcher). Example is the weather widget of beautiful widgets. Any plans to incorporate this feature ?

EDIT : OOPS, sorry about that. Noobish error, searched the thread and found the solution - Behavior - Resize all widgets is the solution.
[Nova Launcher] greydarrah:
Been using Nova exclusively on my gnex since it came out. LOVE it!

I'm noticing a definite lag/stutter when scrolling in cube mode on 1.0.1 that I never saw on the beta versions. Restarted launcher as well as rebooting phone, but still having a lag/stutter when scrolling home screens. Uninstalled updates and reinstalled beta 15 and it's back to smooth as butter again. I guess I'll stay with 15 until the next update. Is anyone else seeing this?
[Nova Launcher] emerica243:
New user of Nova here. Love it aleady. Just have two questions.

I installed it via market, then moved the apk from data/app to system/app. Then pressed the Home button, told it to use Nova, phone instantly rebooted, said applying android updates, and everything seems to work fine. Was that the correct procedure?

Second, is there a way to disable the stock launcher, so its not running in the background taking up resources while im usin nova?
[Nova Launcher] blk_jack:
I froze it with Titanium Backup. Give that a try..
[Nova Launcher] beaubin:
This happens quite often on my phone, not all the time, and it reloads quite fast, but still, a fix would be nice
[Nova Launcher] superstargoddess:
Seems that even though I switch the settings and restart Nova, it won't do the beta update thing for me. Do I need to restart the phone too?
[Nova Launcher] rank78:
Bought NLPrime last night and love it. Is there a way to make the calender widget show the full month? I'm only seeing the current day.

I'm about to read the request list but it would be awesome if we saw widget themes like this from LauncherPro Plus.....

[Nova Launcher] huskerpat:
Look for android pro Widgets.
[Nova Launcher] rank78:
Thanks for that, bought it and applied the modern ICS dark theme and the widgets match my setup wonderfully. :cool:
[Nova Launcher] pedmond:
Please forgive me for being brutal, but I really can't figure how anyone can use Nova on a permanent basis.

How do you deal with an empty drawer poping up every few minutes? How do you you cope with the (almost) constant redraw when exiting an app?

In my opinion, Nova isn't ready for prime time. It certainly holds great potential, but I advise the developer to concentrate on solving the blocking bugs instead of adding more complexity to the code.

I'll be looking forward to the time when Nova becomes my launcher of choice. I hope it's not too far in the future.

[Nova Launcher] Staggers:
I also haven't had either of those problems you describe.

Swyped from my AOKP-fueled Galaxy Nexus
[Nova Launcher] pedmond:
Perhaps. However, I seem to remember reading other posts on this thread complaining of the same problems, plus the icon text becoming garbled. Maybe it's a minority of users. It still would be nice if they were solved by the developer, or at least acknowledged.

In any case, I'll try the next beta...
[Nova Launcher] dmarden:
The point of that being that for the developer to resolve an issue, he has to be able to identify it. If it is something he cannot reproduce on his own and through his typical testing setup, he may require more details from the minority of people experiencing the issue.

That's why I suggested you consider sending some device and log info. It's just a matter of whether or not you want to assist is reaching resolution. You are certainly free to not do that, of course.
[Nova Launcher] patmw123:
Nova launcher is leaps and bounds better than every other launcher I've tried.

1.0.2beta1 Feb 27 2012

Fix apps out of order in drawer

Fix FC with contact shortcuts in dock

Attempt to fix blank drawer, (If it still happens do let me know, but at least now exiting and open the drawer again should let it recover)

Fix some scroll effects in drawer

I've seen some discussion of the font corruption. This is a bug in Android. It can be triggered by apps, including the stock launcher and Nova. I personally seen it in the stock launcher (possibly on 4.0.1 but I think it was 4.0.2) and Nova on 4.0.2. I haven't personally seen it on 4.0.3, but I think some users have (?). Scrollable widgets seem to be able to help trigger it (I think it's hardware acceleration memory usage related). I can't reproduce it very regularly on any of my hardware. If you can, steps to reproduce and details about your setup would be awesome. However it might not be something that can be worked around from an app and the fix might have to come in an Android 4.0.x update.
[Nova Launcher] Testingchip:
I have never seem this on my gnex but my wife's has the problem. A long press of the back to kill the launcher is a quick fix.

If I'm able to piece together a trigger I will definitely let you know.

Thank you for the great app.

Prime FTW!
[Nova Launcher] greydarrah:
I understand that you like your current ROM, but maybe you could make a nandroid of it, then flash something different (codename or aokp), load up nova and see if your issues are gone. You could get back to where you are now in a few minutes and you might get closer to figuring out what the problem is.
[Nova Launcher] shaolinsoldier:
I get a black semi transparent overlay over pic when adding a contact to home screen, direct dial works fine and so does direct message. Anyone else have this issue?
[Nova Launcher] greydarrah:
Thanks. This completely fixed the lag I had when scrolling home screens in 1.0.1.
[Nova Launcher] Vangu:
Awesome work, thanks, Any improving in the vertical mode for tablets? Thanks mate!! This is the only app i didnt evven check the price to buy it! ( prime )
[Nova Launcher] kevin@TeslaCoil:
I did actually try a few related things before releasing 1.0.2beta1 but wasn't satisfied so nothing to show yet. Nova Launcher 1.0 and the Transformer getting the ICS OTA on the same day has meant a big increase in tablet users (which is great). I'm suddenly getting a lot more feedback about tablets. My understanding is that tablet users want the dock and that they want the row height to be stretched further to more closely fill the screen in portrait. (But also that some users don't want changes, so controlled by some settings is good). Message received.
[Nova Launcher] kibmcz:
I think you got it black drawer bug wise... Great work :).
[Nova Launcher] twistedumbrella:
Depending on what ROM you are using there should be options in settings -> development that can help with the issue or in the Performance submenu (CM-based). It is a redraw that requires some memory tweaks. With ICS, scripts are more or less unnecessary. There are enough configuration settings to do most of it directly now.
[Nova Launcher] Nighthound:
Is this the font corruption bug you're talking about? This is my normal screen.

Sometimes when I reboot my phone, Nova starts off looking like this or this

I will need to restart Nova before I get my normal screen back. This only happens on boot, but I can't reproduce the bug reliably... Will continue to keep an eye out for possible triggers.
[Nova Launcher] twistedumbrella:
The font corruption happens when the build you are on doesn't have a fully implemented hwcomposer / gralloc / overlay that work with the hardware acceleration components of the display. What ROM are you using?
[Nova Launcher] PacerguyDon:
Put me down as a supporter of this as well. I'd love to have the option of hiding the status bar ala Adw ex. :cool:
[Nova Launcher] Juicemane_:
Same, sometimes it will duplicate also. Rather annoying, uninstalled for now until it is fixed. Keep up the good work Dev, its coming along nicely.
[Nova Launcher] TheBaRReT:
Hello. Everybody from us (users sgs smartphone ) know how working this device witch TouchWis 3 or 4 or modded 4.5. There is posibility to make unalphabeting sorting menu. In oryginal ICS launcher we can not to sort unalphabetic.

Maby You Dev can add that option to next version ? ;)

Is that real to make?
[Nova Launcher] Bazzz66:
Still I am not able to resize widgets, I push the widget then I can only delete the widget.

Any suggestions how to get it to work, tried enabling and disabling the resize widgets checkbox
[Nova Launcher] shanimal92:
Ok, idea. It would be sooo cool if you could make "folders" in the launcher. Like how its says, "Apps" and "Widgets," instead it would say like maybe "utilities,""games,""media," and "social." i think that would be pretty cool. idk if the appstore categorizes apps like the iOS store does, but maybe it could somehow recognize the app and know that its a social app, or that its a media app.
[Nova Launcher] im.nick.hello:
Sorry if I'm spamming, but is anyone having speed issues.

I switched from adwex and I'm on a pretty stable ics port. The features are great and I can't wait until this is a final release. I have 4 out of 5 pages filled up and the scrolling is pretty slow.

Beta4 Dec 22 2011

Screen Previews and add/remove/rearrange screens (Max of 7)

Backup/Restore

Toggle Status bar action

Fix Quick Search Bar widget weirdness

Fix wallpaper scrolling for real

Restored haptic-feedback on all-apps-button

Fix a few FCs

I'm not prepared to accept translations just yet, but when I am I'll setup a project on crowdin and post it to the first post in this thread. Thanks for your help.

I'm not exactly sure yet, but I believe this is a bug in the system with regard to hardware rendering. I've encountered it a few times as well, especially after lots of reinstalls or lots of FCs. I'm hoping it's fixed in 4.0.3 (I haven't seen it on my Nexus S yet, but I tested on the Galaxy Nexus more often).

I had some earlier builds that did work on Honeycomb but my primary focus right now is phones (and thus ICS) and I know it will simply crash on Honeycomb right now so it's not supported.

If I'm working on tablet-optimizations before ICS is mainstream on tablets, and I don't use too many ICS-only APIs, it's possible I would support Honeycomb as well.

As long as you don't modify or resign it that's fine. It's still beta and might have issues, but as long as it's not modified/resigned the self-update should keep users running the latest.

Also note that at some point it an update will introduce pro-only features and require a pro APK or code to activate them. Just noting it in case you or your users would be uncomfortable with that being added in an update.
[Nova Launcher] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
New update is awesome. Would love the ability to assign a custom icon for folders and to hide apps in the app drawer.

Awesome update
[Nova Launcher] DreamingWolf:

I also LOVE the self-update feature!
[Nova Launcher] MrBig0:
Hey man, thanks for the update, it's working really well.

I notice that if you set an action to the home button, it's laggier than performed another way. So if I have it set to Default Home Screen, and I press it, it gives me a choppy animation to get to it. Scrolling the screens is still smooth, though.

Same is true if I set App Drawer to it. Animation is choppy, but pressing my app drawer button is still smooth.

Great so far, otherwise.
[Nova Launcher] Maddmatt:
Only thing making me stick to Go Launcher is the app drawer folders. App drawer becomes cluttered so easily without folders, I never understood why Google thought they should make folders for homescreens but not the app drawer.

Launcher looks great, but I need my app drawer folders :)

[Nova Launcher] Paleogirl2003:
App drawer, nova settings, desktop, home screens, use the plus icon to add screen(s)
